Wonderful, this may give the TSA an excuse to ban lithium batteries on board. That means no more bringing in laptops, iPods, or anything that uses these types of batteries. Oh wait, there's always books...

Why are you not rushing to recklessly spend it faster, you fucking ingrates!? Is this what you think we elected you for? To improve our communities instead of destroying them so you can make shallow claims in attack ads?Spend it on better enforcement of zero tolerance laws regarding children if you cannot think of anything else, or the other team might win next election. "My opponent voted against our children!" This ain't fucking rocket science, you pieces of shit!

"A pilot flying in the area of this week's Alaska plane crash that killed former Sen. Ted Stevens and four others has estimated that clouds were as low as 600 feet at the time of the crash, the National Transportation Safety Board's chairwoman said Saturday.That is well below p-r-e-v-i-o-u-s estimates of between 1,000 and 2,000 feet, Chairwoman Deborah Hersman said at a news conference. The pilot of the small plane also told investigators that visibility was between five and seven miles, she said.It's unclear how high Stevens' plane was flying, and the cause of Monday's crash on a remote mountainside in southwest Alaska hasn't been determined. Investigators have spoken with two of the four survivors, and one survivor has told officials he didn't notice any changes in the plane's pitch or hear any unusual engine sounds right before the plane went down."http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100815/ap_on_re_us/us_alaska_plane_crash

"A celestial body once touted and then rejected as the first planet photographed outside the solar system may yet turn out to be a planet, U.S. scientists say.
An image captured in 1998 by the Hubble space telescope shows a faint object 450 million light years from Earth near a pair of newborn stars, ScienceNews.org reported Thursday.
At the time, the discovery team led by astronomer Susan Terebey suggested the object's location at the end of a long, luminous filament emanating from the two stars indicated the object, TMR-1C, was a planet cast off by those incipient suns. Many researchers were skeptical, saying the apparent association of the objects might be just a coincidental alignment, and even Terebey later concluded the object was too hot to be a planet.
Two recent studies suggest scientists may have been too quick to write of TMR-1C.
Both say evidence strongly suggests the object is in fact closely linked to the two stars."
