Top Scoops (Scoop.co.nz)
After reviewing Robert M. Hazen’s 28-page CV. of his work as an experimental mineralogist (listing grant $$$ too), as an educator, author of a dozen books and a symphonic trumpeter – I was most charmed to read that a new mineral “precipitated” by microbes in California’s highly alkaline Lake Mono had been proposed in his honor in March of this year: “hazenite”.

Discovery of the source of the most common meteorites (EurekAlert!)
Astronomy & Astrophysics is publishing the first discovery by T. Mothé-Diniz (Brazil) and D. Nesvorný (USA) of asteroids with a spectrum similar to that of ordinary chondrites, the meteoritic material that most resembles the composition of our Sun. Most of the meteorites that we collect on Earth come from the main belt of asteroids located between Mars and Jupiter [1]. They were ejected from ...

Resolved Question: What do you think of these lyrics?
Im putting a few of my songs on here to see what people think of them, please give your honest opinion, thanks. UFO’s and TV Shows Have you ever wandered, want endless stars their are. The distances between and far. The hynotizing swirl of the milky way. A spiral of beauty and the human race. Where earth is found all alone, a place where people roam. Ever-growing and all unknowing, the universe is the beginning and end. A place where Mars is red and Neptune is dead, Where Pluto is cold and the Sun is gold. Astronomy, biology, religion and cosmology. the earth is an indented ball of matter, Theories and conspiracies, UFO‘s and TV shows, Meteorites and Satellites. A little cosmic flavour. A little cosmic flavour. The moon expresses a lonely smile, the brightest star attracts an exodus of exile. Staring at the nights sky, walking shoeless on the desert floor, feeling desperate, hungry and poor. Carrying a small child on his back, a man cries struggling more and more. A little old lady, sees a shooting star. A tear on her cheek reflects the skies beauty afar. That’s how beautiful the expanse can be, even when it times of disappointment and inhumanity. Astronomy, biology, religion and cosmology. the earth is a watered ball of matter, Theories and conspiracies, UFO‘s and TV shows, Meteorites and Satellites. A little cosmic flavour.

http://s7ondemand7.scene7.com/is/image/FossilPartners/JR9388_main?$fossil_detail$ I really like the trendy look. But how often should I wear it? Only when it suits the outfit?
Resolved Question: Was that a meteorite travelling across the NNE sky toward the west?
Late in the evening on Monday, June 30, possible early July 1, 2008, we saw a very bright and seemingly very close shooting star that looked quite blue, ending in sparks, from Bruce County south of Collingwood, Ontario. Did anyone else see this spectacular shooting star? Or was it a meteorite?
Resolved Question: Meteorite from Mars, how is it possible?
Several years ago, scientists said they had discovered a Meteorite that came from Mars. I don't debate that the rock may have the same composition as a Martian rock, but what kind of force of nature could launch a piece of Martian rock off the planet with enough force to reach escape velocity, without destroying it, and still be enough intact to survive re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere and survive an impact with the ground? Just doesn't seem possible to me. Can someone please explain this process in detail for me? Someone asked why I believe it could survive impacting with Earth and not escaping Mars gravity? Simply because falling to the Earth would not be as forceful as launching off of Mars. Show me the math, if I'm wrong.... Okay, so an object needs to maintain a speed of just under 8,000 miles per hour to escape the surface of Mars. I'm still not convinced! Give me more math! What amount of impact would be needed to accelerate a piece of rock off the surface and into space, (meaning it must maintain an average speed of 8,000 MPH without any additional thrust) that is large enough to not burn up while reentering Earth's atmosphere and disintegrate on impact? Calculate backwards from what is known of the composition of the meteorites found on Earth. Based on their properties, how big were they when they left Mars and what kind of force would be needed to blast them into space from the surface without a source of additional propulsion, and would they be able to survive the explosion? I'm still not convinced! How do we not know that those rocks simply formed in space, with the same properties of Mars, and finally just fell to Earth?

Resolved Question: Pendant made of over 70 different natural minerals extracted from volcano rocks..is this true?
There is a company selling this kind of pendant...i wonder anyone have it and is it work? Info: It comprise of over 70 different natural minerals extracted from volcano rocks which are then recombined using nanotechnology and heat fusion methods. It produces scalar energy that helps to enhance the bodys biofield. Scalar energy has definite positive effects on the body including: • Increasing the energy level of every single cell in the body by facilitating the entry of nutrients and elimination of wastes from the cells. • Converting the water in the body to become smaller molecules (micro-clusters) which has better dissolving, cleansing and healing powers. • Neutralizing the harmful effects of external electro-magnetic radiation. • Reducing inflammation. • Improving brain power by increasing mental focus, enhancing creativity and calming the mind.

Did Moses Use Alien Technology to Part the Red Sea? mdash; The Ten Plagues of Exodus Your Own World Books 9 min 6 sec - Dec 12, 2006 The Hebrew account in the Torah (Old Testament) tells us the Ten Plagues of Exodus were God's punishment upon Pharaoh for being a hardhearted. However, the newly revealed historical accounts of the Egyptians offer a natural explanation. They tell us the plagues were the result of a global cataclysm that lasted for months. What is of vital importance to those of us living today is the what actually caused the Ten Plagues of Exodus. The Egyptians tells us it was a massive object called the Destroyer. As it passed through the core of our solar system, the Earth was pelted with a deadly hail of meteorites and shuddered from numerous catastrophic volcanic and seismic events. The Egyptians tell us it also caused Noah's Flood, and their prophecies tell us it will return in our time with equally destructive results. Originally found in the Great Book of Egypt, these secular accounts were recorded by academicians following the Exodus. Centuries after the death of Jesus, copies of these accounts were studied at the Glastonbury Abbey in Britain, and later incorporated into The Kolbrin Bible by Celtic priests.

+ In some southern states, kids drop out as early as 4th grade
+ The causes are many - family influence, money, time, culture
+ Addressing the issue requires a multitude of approaches
+ My role was to help train GoAlliance members in direct to consumer marketing
+ Consequences are grave - statistically a college graduate makes more than $1.2M over a lifetime in earnings more than a high school graduate, $1.6M over someone with no diploma
+ That’s 3,323 kids a DAY - and that means $3.9 BILLION a day lost
+ NorthStar and Student Loan Xpress exit the student loan market
+ Chronicle: Responding to growing concern that student loans may be less available this fall, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat who is chairman of the Senate education committee, introduced legislation on Thursday aimed at reducing borrowers’ dependence on private student loans and making it easier for colleges to find lenders for their students.
+ Mr. Kennedy’s bill, which comes amid a credit crunch that has caused a number of lenders to leave the federally guaranteed student loan programs and private-loan programs, would increase the maximum Pell Grant for the lowest-income students by up to $750. It would also increase federal loan limits by $1,000 a year for undergraduates who are dependents of their parents, and $2,000 a year for independent undergraduates and students whose parents cannot obtain PLUS loans because of their poor credit. The bill also aims to ease the process of applying for a loan under the federal government’s “lender of last resort” program, which would use guarantee agencies to provide loans if they become widely unavailable. Under current law, students seeking a loan would have to petition the Education Department directly and prove that they had been denied a loan by at least two lenders. Under Mr. Kennedy’s bill, the department could designate lenders of last resort on a collegewide, not a student-by-student, basis.

Using the Gemeni Table for Collecting Zircons

Zircon is a mineral belonging to the group of nesosilicates. Its chemical name is zirconium silicate and its corresponding chemical formula is ZrSiO4. Hafnium is almost always present in quantities ranging from 1 to 4%. The crystal structure of zircon is tetragonal crystal class. The natural color of zircon varies between colorless, yellow-golden, red, brown, and green. Colorless specimens that show gem quality are a popular substitute for diamond; these specimens are also known as "Matura diamond". The name either derives from the Arabic word zarqun, meaning vermilion, or from the Persian zargun, meaning golden-colored. These words are corrupted into "jargoon", a term applied to light-colored zircons. Zircon is a remarkable mineral, if only for its almost ubiquitous presence in the crust of Earth. It is found in igneous rocks (as primary crystallization products), in metamorphic rocks and in sedimentary rocks (as detrital grains). Large zircon crystals are seldom abundant. Their average size, e.g. in granite rocks, is about 100–300 µm, but they can also grow to sizes of several centimeters, especially in pegmatites. Owing to their uranium and thorium content, some zircons may undergo metamictization. This partially disrupts the crystal structure and explains the highly variable properties of zircon. Zircon is a common accessory mineral and found worldwide. The pervasive occurrence of zircon has become more important since the discovery of radiometric dating. Zircons contain amounts of uranium and thorium (from 10 ppm up to 1 wt%) and can be dated using modern analytical techniques. Since zircons can survive geologic processes like erosion, transport, even high-grade metamorphism, they are used as protolith indicators.
