POPSWhy Pluto is No Longer a Planet Astronomers from the association were given the opportunity to vote on the definition of planets. In the end, astronomers voted for the controversial decision of demoting Pluto (and Eris) down to the newly created classification of "dwarf planet". For an object to be a planet, it needs to meet these three requirements defined by the IAU: * It needs to be in orbit around the Sun – Yes, so maybe Pluto is a planet. * It needs to have enough gravity to pull itself into a spherical shape – Pluto…check * It needs to have "cleared the neighborhood" of its orbit – Uh oh. Here's the rule breaker. According to this, Pluto is not a planet.

POPS2010 Kawasaki Concours 14 First Ride "But the big story this year are those touring improvements. Are they enough to vault the Concours ahead of its class? Well, the Kawasaki has certainly gained ground on its competition. At $14,599 in base form and $15,299 for the ABS/TC version we sampled, it delivers a lot for the pricetag (A comparably equipped BMW K1300GT with heated grips and ASC (Anti Slip Control), for example, is well over $20K.) The new Connie is also possibly the best looking sport-tourer out there, available for 2010 in Candy Neptune Blue and Flat Super Black. One thing is certain, Kawasaki took a great bike, listened to its customers, and then made the bike even better. Sounds like a winning formula to us." ~Bart Madson

POPSIs There Global Warming on Other Planets in the Solar System? Martian climate is primarily driven by dust and albedo and there is little empirical evidence that Mars is showing long term warming. Neptune's orbit is 164 years so current brightening is a seasonal response (Neptune's southern hemisphere is heading into summer). Triton's warming is due to the moon approaching an extreme southern summer, a season that occurs every few hundred years. Jupiter's storms are fueled by the planet's own internal heat (the sun's energy is 4% the level of solar energy at Earth). When several storms merge into one large storm (eg - Red Spot Jr), the planet loses its ability to mix heat, causing warming at the equator and cooling at the poles.

POPSFrom a Distant Comet, a Clue to Life Within a few months, the Goddard scientists found glycine embedded in aluminum foil of the collecting apparatus. They had spent the time since then confirming that the glycine indeed came from the comet and not from contamination. “It’s not necessarily particularly surprising,” Dr. Elsila said of her extraterrestrial glycine in a phone conversation Tuesday. “I would have been surprised if it wasn’t there.” Dr. Elsila and her colleagues were able to show that the glycine from the comet had heavier quantities of the isotope carbon 13 than what occurs on Earth. They also detected a second amino acid, beta-alanine, but the quantities were too minuscule to confirm. The findings were presented Sunday at a Washington meeting of the American Chemical Society and will be published in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science.

POPSDrive in Church Amazing idea... Millions of people drive to church every Sunday morning. Most of them then get out of their cars and go inside. But this group is a little different. In Neptune, FL, Pastor Larry Delch preaches to an interesting flock. His church is run out of an old drive-in movie theater. His congregation drives to church like any other. But they just stay in their cars. It’s unconventional to be sure. But Delch’s flock likes it that way. You may think people would be cut off from one another. But you’d be wrong.

POPSSea Shepherd Announces New Antarctic" Research Project"
I love Capt. Watson's sense of Irony/sarcasm--read article to see “Australians are the most passionate whale defenders on the planet,” said Captain Watson. “Operation Waltzing Matilda will reflect our gratitude to Australia for the incredible support we have received from the people of this wonderful nation since 2005. The Steve Irwin will depart in December from Western Australia with the majority of the crew being Australians.” Kylie Herd, a Sea Shepherd crewmember from Perth attending the IWC Conference in Madeira said, “Our logo this year is modeled on the art that adorned the fighter planes of the legendary Flying Tigers who fought the Japanese Imperial forces in China. The colors of the Aboriginal and Australian flags have been incorporated into the design with the pirate kangaroo holding Neptune’s trident of justice. We intend to waltz down to the Southern Ocean to dance dangerously with the Japanese whaling fleet and we intend to unroll a Matilda full of defensive tactics

POPS “climate change” throughout the entire solar system.
Here are some highlights: Sun: More activity since 1940 than in previous 1150 years, combined Mercury: Unexpected polar ice discovered, along with a surprisingly strong intrinsic magnetic field … for a supposedly “dead” planet Venus: 2500% increase in auroral brightness, and substantive global atmospheric changes in less than 30 years Earth: Substantial and obvious world-wide weather and geophysical changes Mars: “Global Warming,” huge storms, disappearance of polar icecaps Jupiter: Over 200% increase in brightness of surrounding plasma clouds Saturn: Major decrease in equatorial jet stream velocities in only ~20 years, accompanied by surprising surge of X-rays from equator Uranus: “Really big, big changes” in brightness, increased global cloud activity Neptune: 40% increase in atmospheric brightness Pluto: 300% increase in atmospheric pressure, even as Pluto recedes farther from the Sun This Report’s scientific data, from a variety of
