We are on full-on STORMWATCH!!!11 here in Los Angeles, which is perfect because today was the first day in ages when I actually had to drive down into Hollywood during rush hour. All those jokes about how bad people drive when it rains in LA? They're funny because they're true. I'd just like to take a moment, and give "The Finger" to the entire city. . . . Okay. I feel much better. Thank you. :)

washingtonpost.com - KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept. 10 -- Hurricane Ivan, the Caribbean's most powerful storm in a decade, slammed into Jamaica on Friday afternoon, knocking out power, washing out roads and sending uprooted trees flying. The worst of the Category 4 storm was forecast to arrive late Friday before moving on to Cuba and already battered Florida this weekend.

Eliot Spitzer, a guy I went to high school with, has been making headlines for a few years now. In a decade that has seen a retreat from progressive politics across the board, he's picked up the tools available to him as New York State attorney general and used them creatively and effectively to represent the interests of ordinary citizens. His investigations and prosecutions in the securities, mutual funds and insurance industries have exposed longstanding practices by which insiders profit at the expense of the public they ostensibly serve.

In a better world, the bodies that are supposed to be the watchdogs in these areas would be doing their jobs. Since they haven't been, Spitzer's investigations have represented the public's last line of defense.

I haven't agreed with every position Eliot has taken in his career (for instance, I don't support the death penalty), but there isn't any other Democratic politician out there right now who has been more effective at fighting the self-dealing, cronyism and plundering of the public good that characterize Bush-era business.

Today, in what was a long-expected move, Spitzer announced that he's running for governor of New York in 2006. And he announced it on a page labeled " Eliot's Blog" -- that appears to be a real, functional weblog. Welcome to the blogosphere, Eliot -- I think you'll like it.

NASA's Spitzer Marks Beginning of New Age of Planetary Science
http://www.spitzer.caltech.edu/Media/releases/ssc2005-09/relea se.shtml

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has for the first time captured the light from two known planets orbiting stars other than our Sun. The findings mark the beginning of a new age of planetary science, in which "extrasolar" planets can be directly measured and compared. "Spitzer has provided us with a powerful new tool for learning about the temperatures, atmospheres and orbits of planets hundreds of light-years from Earth," said Dr. Drake Deming of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., lead author of a new study on one of the planets. "It's fantastic," said Dr. David Charbonneau of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, Mass., lead author of a separate study on a different planet. "We've been hunting for this light for almost 10 years, ever since extrasolar planets were first discovered." The Deming paper appears today in Nature's online publication; the Charbonneau paper will be published in an upcoming issue of the Astrophysical Journal. So far, all confirmed extrasolar planets, including the two recently observed by Spitzer, have been discovered indirectly, mainly by the "wobble" technique and more recently, the "transit" technique. In the first method, a planet is detected by the gravitational tug it exerts on its parent star, which makes the star wobble. In the second, a planet's presence is inferred when it passes in front of its star, causing the star to dim, or blink. Both strategies use visible-light telescopes and indirectly reveal the mass and size of planets, respectively. In the new studies, Spitzer has directly observed the warm infrared glows of two previously detected "hot Jupiter" planets, designated HD 209458b and TrES-1. Hot Jupiters are extrasolar gas giants that zip closely around their parent stars. From their toasty orbits, they soak up ample starlight and shine brightly in infrared wavelengths.

As they were coming down the street I told my 5 yr old to go stand in the road so I could take his picture with them. As you can see from the photo, a couple of Storm Troopers got out of formation to pose for the picture. My 2 year old was scared to death and ran to Mom. I kept telling my 5 year old not to be scared and to stand still. The look on my boys face, priceless. Fun was had by all." 129K JPEG Link (Thanks, innkeeper2097!)
