Republican wants more Massa exposure butDemocrat says its
overDavid Morg an ( Front Row Washington )Submitted at 3/10/2010
7:18:02 AM
House Republican Eric Cantorthinks Congress should get tothe
bottom of Eric Massasbizarre tale of congressionalnudity, satanic
White Houseadvisers, the groping of men (ornot ) and a congress
iona lh e a l t h c a r e p u t s c hby Democra ts . But
HouseMajority Leader Steny Hoyersays the case is over.I know that
Steny joins me inhoping that the ethics committeein Congress looks
into thisadequately and can get to thebottom of all of this,
saidCantor, who appeared alongwith Hoyer on NBCs Todayshow. The
best place for this tobe resolved is in the ethicscommittee and
lets get to thebottom of it.Otherwise, the whole thing
seems to make Cantor want to
hold his nose. And he is notalone. Im a little taken aback and
stunned, the Virginialawmaker confided. I dontknow the facts of
this at all. Iknow that the American peopleare sickened.Massas
descriptions of the
events that led him to the exitdoor have become a spectatorsport
with more back-and-forth grunting than professionaltennis. And with
only oneplayer.He did, or didnt, leave because
of his health. Did or didntgrope a male staffer. Did ordidnt
jump ship to avoid ane t h i c s p r o b e i n t o s e x u a
lharassment claims. Did have aclose encounter with a nakedRahm
Emanuel. Did decide thatEmanuels a blood relative of Satan. Did get
pushed fromoff ice by a Whi te Houseinfuriated over his refusal
toback the Obama healthcarereform plan.
Or did he? Hoyer describesonly one chain of events leadingto
Massas departure, andrelatively speaking, his accountsounds pretty
realistic if only byvirtue of its plainness.Hoyers office learned
of the
harassment claims on Feb. 8 andstrongly advised the young manin
question to go to the ethicscommittee. In fact, Hoyer mayhave
applied some pressure. Butnot the kind Massa likes to talk about.I
said further: If you dontmake the complaint, I will. And
within the next 48 hours, I wastold that, in fact, they
hadcontacted the ethics committee,Hoyer recalled.Within three
weeks, as youknow, the congressman decidedthat the charges that
werepending, or the situation thatexisted, was serious enough
thathe was going to resign.
Did Democrats try to oustM a s s a ? A b s o l u t e l y n o t
.P e r i o d . And what about the need for
further investigation? This wasa situation that needed to
bedealt with immediately. And itwas, and action has been taken,and
the member is now not inCongress.Photo Credit: Reuters/Kevin

Karl Rove says did not ask for gay marriage fightEd Stoddard (
Front Row Washington )Submitted at 3/10/2010 8:35:39 AM
Kar l Rove , the po l i t i ca loperative widely credited
withthe electoral successes of formerU.S. President George W.
Bush,says in his new book that he didnot choose gay marriage as aw
e d g e i s s u e b u t t h a tcircumstances thrust it his
way.Conventional wisdom, at least
in some circles, has it thatR o v e m a s t e r m i n d e d g a
ymarriage as an issue in the
2004 White House race in a bidto get conservative evangelicals--
a key base for the RepublicanParty, especially during theBush years
-- to the polls. Therewere ballot initiatives in about a
dozen states that year to bangay marriage (or, supporters of
such measures would argue,to defend traditional marriage).Many
political commentatorshave said such tactics are in
keeping with the "Rovian"strategy of ginning up the baseto
clinch narrow victories.
Rove , in " Courage andConsequence: My Life as aConservative in
the Fight," saysthe ballot initiatives made littledifference to the
outcome thatyear and that they were not hisidea anyway." Gay
marriage was an uglyfight we had not asked for but
could win if we handled withcare. Done right, our response togay
marriage could show it was
possible to bring a courteousand caring tone to a divisiveissue.
The issue also revealedthe nuttiness of the Left, whichnever saw
how pers i s ten tAmerica's traditionalism reallywas. Instead, the
Left seemedconvinced that Bush and Ie n g i n e e r e d t h e i s s
u e ' semergence to dr ive Bushpartisans to the polls. But, of
course, it was a liberal supremecourt that brought the issue tothe
fore," he writes.
H e w a s r e f e r r i n g t o aNovember 2003,
MassachusettsSupreme Judicial Court decisionthat legalized gay
marriage inthat state. Rove said thatdevelopment sparked the
ballotinitiatives and he maintains theirimpact in the election
battleagainst Democrat John Kerryhas been greatly exaggerated.What
did matter in his view wasthat state court decision." In the end,
whether a state hada marriage ballot measure didn't
affect Bush's share of the vote:he increased his portion of
thevote between 2000 and 2004 byan average of 2.7 points in
thestates without referenda and byan average of 2.5 points in
theeleven states with defense-of-marriage initiatives on
theNovember ballot, a statisticallyinsignificant difference ...
Butthe Massachusetts SupremeJudicial Court decision did
affect the 2004 election bym o t i v a t i n g c u l t u r a l l
yconservative Democrats and
i n d e p e n d e n t s w h o m i g h to t h e r w i s e h a v e
v o t e dDemocratic to abandon Kerryover his wobbly views
onmarriage."Bush of course opposed same-
sex marriage and called for af e d e r a l c o n s t i t u t io
n a lamendment to bar it, thoughRove also notes that the
formerpresident supported same-sex
partner rights such as hospitalvisits and health coverage.
" Neither Bush nor I regret hisstand on gay marriage. Theissue
was thrust upon us and wewere perfectly willing to makeour case. To
overturn the time-honored definition of marriageis a socially
revolutionary act.To do so through the courts andagainst the will
of the peoplemakes the attempt even moreradical," Rove writes,
giving the
s t a n d a r d c r i t i q u e o f g a ymarriage that one hears
in
conservative Christian circles.Rove also talks about the
allegations that his adoptedfather was gay -- allegations
weblogged about the other daywhen he said in an interviewthat
families should be off limitsin politics. He says that thereporters
who pushed thoseallegations were " driven byhatred" and that they
wanted topush the angle that Karl Rove,the anti-gay crusader, had a
gayfather.For the record, Rove says he
does not know to this day anddoes not care if his late fatherwas
gay.Rove does not have much more
to say on the hot-button socialissues and religious vote
thathave been associated with himand Bush. I have only had achance
to read a few sections of the book but according to theindex the
word abortion is onlyfound on about a dozen of thebook's over 500
pages and some
of those references are brief.The word "evangelicalism"
ismentioned on only a handful of pages as well.Rove was widely seen
as a
hardened warrior in the trenchesof America's culture wars. Buthe
says he was reluctantlydragged into some of thosebattles.

One day after resigning as afreshman congressman fromUpstate New
York, Eric Massahas found his 15 minutes of fame.He landed on two
major talk
shows Tuesday Fox NewsChannels Glenn Beck andCNNs Larry King and
they
both wanted to know abouta l l e g a t i o n s o f s e x u a
lhar rassment aga ins t males ta ffe rs .Larry King asked him
outright
if he was gay. Massa, who ismarried, said it was an insult
toevery gay American that such aquestion was being asked in thisday
and age, and he refused toanswer it.Glenn Beck wanted Massa to
name names in his allegations of a conspiracy to oust him
fromCongress. When the talk showhost didnt succeed in elicitingthe
answers he was seeking, heapologized to his audience forwasting
their time with theinterview.
The fo l lowing a re somehighlights from the
Massainterviews.
Now theyre saying I groped amale staffer yeah I did. Notonly did
I grope him, I tickledhim until he couldnt breathe.Then four guys
jumped on topof me, Massa told Beck. Itwas my 50th birthday. It
waskill the old guy. You can takeanything out of context.He later
said: I did nothing
sexual. I did some thingswrong.Massa told King that he had
not
known that the allegations wereforwarded to the House
EthicsCommittee by his former deputychief of staff a man who
hadlived with his family and was
one of his wifes best friends.
When King asked several timeswhy the former congressmandid not
call the former staffer tofind out what it was all about,Massa said
he didnt have thenumber any more.At one point, Massa said the
main reason he resigned wasbecause of health concerns.
Atanother, he said Democraticleadership wanted him gonebecause he
didnt support their
h e a l t h c a r e r e f o r m . W h e npressed, Massa said he
forcedhimself out.I am in trouble because Im aDemocrat standing up
to ahorrific mistake that were aboutto make, period, Massa
toldKing. You end up buckingyour party, youre out. T h a t s a b s

Trainee teachers 'shouldact like Clint Eastwood

Submitted at 3/10/2010 8:53:12 AM
Published: 4:18PM GMT 10Mar 2010Jim Wood, who trains
teachers
a t t h e U n i v e r s i t y o f Southampton, champions
an''intimidation through s ilence''approach similar to that of
theDirty Harry movie star.Mr Wood, who is a deputy head
a t B a y H o u s e S c h o o l i nGosport, Hampshire, says
thisis more effective than shoutinglike Arnold Schwarzenegger,which
he c la ims only''entertains'' the children ratherthan control
them.He presented his ideas to a
seminar of teachers held at the
Kip McGrath education centrein Portsmouth."The Arnold
Schwarzeneggerstyle of teaching is to be strongand shouty," he
said. ''Butmost pupils say they love that.They f ind i t en te r ta
in ingbecause the teachers have lostcontrol and they can see
themgoing red in the face and theirtemples throbbing.''The most
effective, though, is
the Clint Eastwood style of
teaching. In films, the reallytough men are not ones with
bigmachine guns. They're theones who stare and quietly say 'Idon't
think you want to do that'.''There are times when you doneed to
shout . But goodclass room management i sabout taking decisions.
Myinstinct may be to shout. But if Istop for a second then I
mightthink it would be better to use aquiet voice.''Linda Jones,
director of the Kip
McGrath centre, said: ''Jim isreally exceptional. He coveredv a
r i o u s t e c h n i q u e s a n ds t r a t e g i e s f o r m a n
a g i n gbehaviour mainly for secondaryschool pupils.''His
technique is about beingnon-confrontational, you do notget into an
argument with the
pupils, you steer away from theconfrontation.''

has stiffed Barack Obama overhis attempts to kick-start
MiddleEast peace negotiations. But thesudden, highly
inflammatoryannouncement of plans to buildan additional 1,600 homes
in
occupied East Jerusalem , in themidst of a visit to Israel of
USvice-president Joe Biden, wascertainly the most
brutallycontemptuous rebuff so far toAmerican peacemaking.
It may be that BinyaminNetanyahu , Israel's rightwingprime
minister, was unaware inadvance of the provisionaldecision by a
Jerusalem districtplanning committee , as he
claims. But the announcementwas promulgated by his
interiorministry, which thereby gave itan official stamp of
approval. If Netanyahu did not know, thenwhy not?

ourapologies for this seriousblunder," Herzog said.But
protestations of innocence
by interior minister Eli Yishai,head of the Shas religious
partyin Netanyahu's coalition and nogreat advocate of
Americanattempts to forge a two-statepeace sett lement with
thePalestinians, are hard to credit.
" T h e r e w a s c e r t a i n l y n ointention to provoke
anyone,and certainly not to come alongand hurt the vice-president
of the United States," Yishai said.These are weasel words. Is it
to
be believed that Yishai, likeNetanyahu, was unaware of what his
own ministry wasdoing? Did he have no idea theplanning decision was
pending?Did he, as an experienced
poli t ician, not foresee thedestructive political implicationso
f t h i s a m b u s h ? L i k eNetanyahu, Yishai presumablyregards
Jerusalem as Israel'seternal and indivisible capital.Another day
on, it seems he wasdetermined to rub Biden's nosein that
insupportable idea.The Americans, until now, have
been too polite, or too weak, tosay it, but Netanyahu spent
most
last year deliberately frustrating
Obama's pledge to mediate aresolution of the
Israel-Palestineconflict and with it, an end tothe Israel-Arab
confrontationthat has scarred the region forgenerations. Netanyahu
resisteddirect talks, rejected a fullsettlement freeze, flaunted
hisuncompromising views onJerusalem, pooh-poohed a Syriaopening,
and, at the same time,endlessly reiterated his supposedwill ingness
to talk to theP a l e s t i n i a n s " w i t h o u tc o n d i t i
o n s " .Simultaneously, Israel's leader
tried, with some success, to shiftthe US conversation on to
Iran,w h i c h h e s a y s p o s e s a nexistential threat to his
countryand the region. All in all, it wasan Oscar-standard
performancein obfuscation, prevaricationand disingenuousness. To
theachingly smart, but politicallyl e s s p u g n a c i o u s O b a
m a ,Netanyahu's behaviour wasintellectually insulting. The
fact
he has put up with it until nowmay be a measure of Israel'sclout
in Washington, especiallyon Capitol Hill.This could change.
Obama's
problem, and not just in theMiddle East, is that he is likedbut
not feared. After a first yearin office devoid of
substantiveachievement , Washingtoninsiders say the president
mustshow he is ready to fight, to get
down and dirty, to drop his
professorial aloofness and getpublicly passionate and angryabout
the things he believes in.At home, this could apply tohealthcare
reform . Abroad, thenew approach may single
outIsrael-Palestine.Biden's visit, though reassuring
and conciliatory on the surfaceu n t i l t h e e a s t J e r u s
a l e mbombshell dropped, may mark the s ta r t o f th i s toughera
p p r o a c h . M a n y O b a m asuppor te rs in the US andEurope,
and in the post-CairoMuslim world, will wish it so.
The vice-president, whosea t tack dog qua l i t i es
wereunleashed on the subjects of Russia and Ukraine last
year,certainly did not mince hiswords, once he realised theextent
of the insult."I condemn the decision by thegovernment of Israel to
advanceplanning for new housing unitsin east Jerusalem," Biden
said."The announcement . . . i s
precisely the kind of step thatundermines the trust we needright
now and runs counter tothe constructive discussions thatI've had
here in Israel." In thelast part of this sentence Bidenseems to be
suggesting thatNetanyahu told him one thing tohis face and did
another behindhis back. Little wonder he keptIsrael's first couple
waiting fordinner.
It doesn't seem to realise it, but
Israel cannot afford to keep onbehaving in this
disobligingmanner towards its friends.Whether it is blatant
disregardf o r i n t e r n a t i o n a l r u l e sconcerning the
protection of civilian life, as in Gaza; whetherit is calculated
insults aimed atneighbours, as with Turkey; orwhether i t is the
theft of passports and identities fromfriendly countries and
thelawless assassination of itsenemies, as in Dubai, it goes
toofar.Now, Netanyahu has deeply
angered his country's best andmost powerful friend again.The
coming message to Bibi:don't over-reach. Comments on this article
willremain open for 24 hours fromthe time of publication but maybe
closed overnight Middle East Israel Joe Biden Binyamin

Water Found in Apollo Moon Rocks( National Geographic News
)Submitted at 3/9/2010 2:23:21 PM
Recently NASA crashed twospacecraft into the moon andorbiters
scanned the lunars u r f a c e f o r t e l l t a l e l i g h
tsignatures all to confirm therocky body isn't bone dry
afterall.But, it turns out, solid evidence
for water on the moon wa sunder our noses the whole time.Tiny
amounts of water have
been found in some of thefamous moon rocks brought
back to Earth by the Apolloastronauts, scientists announcedl a s
t W e d n e s d a y .(Related: "Apollo 11 at 40:Facts, Myths,
Photos, andMore." )The water levels detected in
Apollo moon rocks and volcanicglasses are in the thousands of p
a r t s p e r m i l l i o n , a tmostwhich explains whyanalyses of
the samples in the
late 1960s and early 1970sconcluded that the moon wasabsolutely
arid."Only in the last decade haveinstruments become
sensitiveenough to even analyze water atthose kinds of
concentrations,"said Gary Lofgren , the lunarcurator at NASA's
Johnson
Space Center in Houston, Texas.Lofgen, who wasn't involved
with the new research, called it"solid work" worthy of
furtherinvestigation.( R e a d m o r e a b o u t m o o ne x p l o r
a t i o n . )
New Line of Evidence forMoon WaterHints of water in moon
samples
first surfaced in a 2008 study inthe journal Nature, in whichsc
ien t i s t s repor ted havingdetecting water molecules inlunar
glasses from the Apollomissions .
That team, however, hadn'tbeen able to prove the waterhadn't
been introduced to themoon rocks on Earth, perhapsthrough sloppy
handling.One way to determine a water
sample ' s b i r thp lace i s tom e a s u r e t h e a m o u n t
s o f different hydrogen isotopesinside the watera
techniqueunavailable to the Nature team,sa id James Greenwood ,
a
p r o f e s s o r o f E a r t h a n denvi ronmenta l sc iences a
tWe s l e y a n U n i v e r s i t y i nMiddle town, Connec t icu t
.
Isotope measurements canserve as fingerprints. Waterfrom Earth
's mantle has adifferent isotope ratio than waterfrom a comet, for
example.
When the Nature study cameout, Greenwood was pioneeringa
technique that allowed him tostudy the chemical makeups of Martian
meteorites. He laterapplied his method to samplesof the mineral
apatite, culledfrom a variety of moon-rock t y p e s , t o d e t e
r m i n e t h ef i n g e r p r i n t o f t h e w a t e rm o l e c u
l e s i n s i d e .The work proves that the moon-
rock water "is not from us," hesaid at a presentation of
hisfindings at the 41st Lunar andPlanetary Science Conference
in
Houston, Texas.( Video: Moon 101. )Water in the Moon MineralsAt
the presentation, a second
team announced the discoveryof water in apatite-bearing
rocksfrom one of the moon's mares,dark regions thought to havebeen
formed by ancient lunarlava flows. (See "VolcanoesRocked Dark S ide
of theMoon." )
In part by bombarding themineral with a particle beamfrom an
electron microprobe,the researchers were able tocalculate the
amounts of thegases fluorine and chlorinewithin the sample.
Given known formulas forapatite, the amounts of fluorine
and chlorine present suggestthere ' s another compoundneeded to
complete the mineral'scrystal structure.The missing molecule, the
team
c o n c l u d e d , m u s t b eh y d r o x i d e a c o m m o
ncomponent of apatite and abyproduct of the breakup of water.The
finding is "one of the first
to detect water in a lunarmagmatic mineral" and adds toevidence
that moon magma, ingeneral, contains trace amountso f w a t e r , a
c c o r d i n g t o
geoscientist Francis McCubbin ,who participated in the
research.
But, though discoveries of moon water continue to mount,they're
really just drops in thebucket, said McCubbin, of theCarnegie
Institution for Sciencein Washington, D.C."While there is a lot
more waterin the moon than we previouslythought," he said, "it is
stillorders of magnitude drier than
t h e E a r t h a n d M a r s a n dtherefore completely
consistentwith the last 40 years of lunarsample
observation."Where's Moon Water From?Going forward, the
researchers
plan to investigate how waterended up in the moon. The
mostcommon guesses center on the
moon's earliest days, shortlyafter it had been created by
thecollision of a Mars-size objectwith Earth.One possibility,
according to
Wesleyan's Greenwood, is thaticy comets hit the molten youngmoon
as it was still solidifying.Another possibility, said the
C a r n e g i e I n s t i t u t i o n ' sMcCubbin, is that not
quite allthe water was driven off whenchunks of Earth were flungs p
a c e w a r d t o f o r m t h emoonin other words, thewater may be
from an ancient
version Earth. (See "Where IsW a t e r o n M o o nFromVolcanoes
, Sun . . .Ear th?" )The tiny amounts of water now
being found in lunar rocks areabout what youd expect if water
had been depleted duringt h e m o o n ' s f i e r y b i r t h
,McCubbin said. "But you arenever going to get rid of all of
it."

Tortured logic of intelligence chief | Vikram DoddVikram Dodd
(World news: United States | guardian.co.uk )
Submitted at 3/10/2010 7:31:07 AM
F o r m e r M I 5 h e a d E l i z aManningham-Buller
deniesknowing about mistreatment of detainees. Didn't she read
thepapers?To be fair to Britain's security
services, the gathering of intelligence can be the mostdifficult
of jobs.The claim on Wednesday from
the former head of MI5, ElizaManningham-Buller , that the
US hid from the UK securityservices the torture they weremeting
out to the Muslim menthey had labelled terrorists,comes as a bit of
surprise. In alecture given in the Palace of Westminster , she
related:"I said to my staff, 'Why is he[Khalid Sheikh
Mohammed]talking?' because our experienceof Irish prisoners and
terroristswas tha t they never sa id
anyth ing "They said the Americans sayh e i s v e r y p r o u d
o f h i sachievements when questionedabout it. It wasn't actually
untilafter I retired that I read that, infact, he had been
waterboarded160 times."She went on to claim that "The
Americans were very keen thatpeople like us did not discover
what they were doing."It did not require a high degree
of James Bond-style espionagefor MI5 to realise much earlierthan
she says it did thatGuantnamo and other US siteswere places where
torture waspractised.Before her retirement in 2007,
then, all that Manningham-Buller needed to have beendoing was
read a decentnewspaper or use a web search,either of which would
haveproduced headlines and articlesthat would have pricked the
curiosity of even the dullest of minds. Never mind those whosee
themselves as among thesharpest and brightest.So, for the benefit
of the former
intelligence chief, the list of r e p o r t i n g o f d i s t u

P i w o n k aSmashed houses and other
debris lie scattered in the mudleft after waters receded fromthe
village of Tubul, Chile, asseen in a March 6, 2010,
aerialphotograph.
Following the February 27
Chile earthquake , many of theseaside houses in the 3,000-person
village were inundatedby both a succession of tsunamiwaves and the
overflowingTubul River, according to theNew York Times.As of March
2, the rural, mostly
poor village had not yet receivedany aid from local or
federalofficials, residents told theTimes, though people there
are
desperate for drinkable water,food, and fuel.Published March 9,

Lava, Not Water, Made Mars "Riverbed"( National Geographic News
)Submitted at 3/9/2010 2:35:15 PM
A channel in an ancient Martian"riverbed" wasn't carved byliquid
water but was built bymolten lava, according to a newstudy of
surface features onMars .Pictures of the red planet have
long revealed features such asva l leys and a l luv ia l
fansreminiscent of those seenaround water bodies on Earth.(Related:
"Huge Mars RegionShaped by Water, Rover
M i s s i o n F i n d s . " )Water is a prerequisite for
life
as we know it, so these formerlywet landscapes have been
toutedas some of the best places onMars to look for traces of
pastlife.But new high-resolution images
of a peculiar 168-mile-long (270-kilometer-long) channel nearthe
Ascraeus Mons volcanoaren't likely to have been made
by water after all."We started seeing that, insteadof this
[liquid] cutting into anexisting surface, it was buildinga
surfaceit built a ridge up to40 meters [130 feet] high"millions of
years ago, said studyco-author Jacob Bleacher of NASA's Goddard
Space FlightCenter in Greenbelt, Maryland.
The channel is also roofed overin some areas and lined
withventsfeatures most oftenassociated with lava tubes. OnEarth,
lava tubes form duringsustained volcanic eruptions ,when lava
flowing throughpreviously solidified massesleaves behind empty
channels inthe rock. (Related: "Mars HasCave Networks, New
PhotosSuggest." )"You don't see this on Earth in[river] settings,"
Bleacher said."But you see it all the time involcanic settings. So
that's kind
of our smoking gun."That's not to say liquid water
never flowed on Mars, saidBleacher, who presented hiswork last
week at the 41st Lunara n d P l a n e t a r y S c i e n c eC o n f
e r e n c e .But the findings do mean that
researchers might need toreevaluate when and where theythink
water might have existedo n t h e r e d p l a n e t .
(Related: "Mars Had LiquidWater in Recent Past, RoverFinds."
)Solving a Martian PuzzleThe results are also exciting
because they add new layers toMars's volcanic history,
saidLaszlo Kestay , a planetarygeologist on the NASA teamthat
produced the new images of
the channel."I think there are some veryclearly water-formed
features onMars, but there are other thingsthat are more puzzling.
Jake andc o l l e a g u e s m a k e a v e r ycompelling case that
at least thisone is volcanic," said Kestay,wi th the U.S .
Geologica lSurvey's Astrogeology ScienceCenter.And there's a good
chance other
channels in the Ascraeus Monsarea will turn out to be lava-made
as well, Kestay said.In general, the latest find is
among the myriad new detailsabout Martian lava flows
beinguncovered by high-resolutionimaging of the Martian
surface,Kestay said.The new image data, he said,
are "revealing not just thesechannels but a whole suite of
smaller volcanic features andshowing that volcanism is
morewidespread spatially than peoplethought."
NASA Grants a "HiWish"In addition, the new studyhighlights a
pioneering programthat allows people anywhere inthe world to get
behind the lensof the Mars-orbiting cameraused in Bleacher ' s work
:N A S A ' s H i g h R e s o l u t i o nImaging Science Experiment.
HiRISE started sending back
color pictures of the Martiansurface in 2007 , with theprimary
goal of f inding asuitable landing site for theupcoming Mars rover
Curiosity ,slated to launch in 2011.Now that the options have
been
narrowed down to four possiblelanding s i tes , NASA haslaunched
HiWish , a Web sitewhere the public can suggestnew targets for the
high-resolution camera.Bleacher's research is based on
images taken after he hadsubmitted a request to a beta
v e r s i o n o f H i Wi s h m a d eava i lab le to sc ien t i s
t s .
In previous pictures of theAscraeus Mons region of Mars,"the big
hindrance has been thatyou can see [only] the bigfeatures,"
Bleacher said. "Butyou really need the details to seehow things
evolved."HiRISE offers "a more detailed
glimpse into what's going onwith these volcanoes. Now, as
we're able to look at these thingsin their entirety, we really
needto readdress our thoughts onhow they formed." Five Filters

Ancient Corpses Ritually Dug Up, Torn Apart,Reburied( National
Geographic News )
Submitted at 3/9/2010 2:33:30 PM
According to the first knownevidence of "double burials,"ancient
people in what is nowMexico rout ine ly dug updecomposing bodies
and took off their arms, legs, and heads,then reburied the bodies,
newresearch shows.Indigenous peoples of the Cape
Region of Baja California Sur(see map) practiced these
doubleburials for about 4,500 years,from about 300 B.C. to the
16th-century A.D, when Europeansfirst arrived in the
region,anthropologists say.To the native groups, death was
"a motionless, painful state,from which the living couldfree"
the dead by sectioning thelimbs, physical anthropologistAlfonso
Rosales-Lopez said inan ema i l t r an s l a t e d f r o mSpan i sh
. "(See pictures of facedownburials from around the world. )The
double-burial practice, he
added, is consistent with beliefsin other cultures around
theworld that death isn't the end of
life but rather a passing from
one state to another.Since 1991 Rosales-Lopez hasexamined more
than a hundredof the double burials along thes o u t h e r n c o a
s t o f B a j aCalifornia and is currentlyworking on a paper
describingthe practice.Double-Burial Corpses Torn
Limb From LimbImmedia te ly af ter dea th ,
candidates for double burialwere shrouded in animal skinsand
bound tightly in the fetalposition with cords made froma g a v e p
l a n t s , t h e s a m esucculents used in tequilaproduction. Each
corpse wasthen placed in an individualshal low grave l ined wi
thseashells, charcoal, and soil."It would appear this would endthe
funeral, but the abundanceof sectioned remains clearlys h o w s t h
i s i s n o t t h ecaserather, it was only thefirst part," said
Rosalez-Lopez,of Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and
History .About six to eight months after
a first burial, a body would beexhumed. At this point, the
corpse would have decomposed
enough that the limbs and headcould be easily broken off,
henoted.
O n c e s e p a r a t e d , t h edismembered parts were
placednear the body and reburied.Near the burial sites,
Rosalez-
Lopez and colleagues also foundstone toolssuch as
projectileheads, knives, and fishingharpoonsthat would havebeen
used to kill and preparefood. Food remains includingshells of
mollusks, seeds, andplants were also discovered.(Related: "Baja
California Rock Art Dated to 7,500 Years Ago." )Reasons for Double
Burials
Still SpeculativeDouble burials appear unique to
the Cape Region, said Do nLaylander, senior archaeologistw i t h
t h e a r c h a e o l o g i c a lconsulting firm ASM Affiliatesand
co-editor of The Prehistoryof Baja California: Advances int h e A r
c h a e o l o g y o f t h eF o rg o t t e n P e n i n s u l a
.Rosales-Lopez's research also
offers some new insight into theculture of Mexico's
ancientnative peoples, Laylander said.
For instance, the double burials
and the shells and bones foundat the sites certainly point to ac
u l t u r e t h a t e m p h a s i z e dc e r e m o n y a n d w e r
eseminomadic, Laylander, whowas n o t i nvo l v ed i n t heresearch
, noted v ia emai l .That's because the artifacts
suggests the people did notabandon the i r se t t
lementsforeverthey had an obligationto revisit and protect their
dead,project leader Rosalez-Lopezsaid.Not much more is known
about
the culture, Laylander said. TheCape Region groups
becameculturally extinct more than twocenturies ago, he added, andt

Number of failing schools leaps 150 per centunder new regime(Top
stories from Times Online )Submitted at 3/10/2010 5:25:48 AM
The proportion of schools judged inadequate has leaptsince a
tougher inspectionregime was introduced last year.Ofsted inspectors
placed 218
schools 10 per cent of thoseinspected in i ts lowestcategory in
the first four monthsof the new regime.Of these, 102 were placed
in
special measures and 116 givennotices to improve.This represents
a jump of 150
per cent from the previousacademic year, when 4 per centof the
schools inspected werefound to be inadequate.Fewer schools were
also judged
outstanding. A total of 199 weregiven Osfteds highest ratingb e
t w e e n S e p t e m b e r a n dDecember, or 10 per cent of those
inspected, compared with19 per cent in the previous year.Christine
Gilbert, Ofsteds chief
inspector, said it was misleadingto compare the figures
because
since the new inspections were
introduced in autumn last yearinspectors had focused onweaker
schools.Schools previously found to be
good or outstanding are nowinspected less once everyfive years
while those judgedonly satisfactory or weak areinspected every
three years.Weaker schools also receivemonitoring visits after
aninspection.Ms Gilbert said: My job is to
raise expectations on behalf of the pupils and parents. It
seemsto be absolutely right thatparents expect their child
canattend a good school, that theycan thrive at that school,
learnwell at that school and achievegood results.The new inspection
regime
brought protests from heads andteachers, particularly ver then e
w n e w t h r e s h o l d s f o rachievement, child protectionand
equality which schools hadto meet to be judged good
oroutstanding.Ms Gilbert suggested that such
concerns were not borne out by
the figures only 17 schoolsof 2,140 inspected since thenhad
failed because of childprotection practice alone, shesai
