Jon Jones? brother Chandler drafted by Patriots
UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones now will have divided loyalties come this football season. His younger brother, Chandler, was drafted by the New England Patriots. Jones' older brother Arthur plays for the Baltimore Ravens.
As Les Carpenter pointed out in this must-read piece, the Jones family is one of the most-athletic in America. All three sons are now professional athletes. In an interview with Cagewriter, Jon once said that Chandler is the best of them all.
Jon's loyalty will be tested in September, when the Patriots will head to Baltimore to face the Ravens. Jon has to hope he is not schedule to fight at UFC 152 in Toronto, which is happening the night before his brothers play each other.

Samsung Galaxy Note for T-Mobile spotted in the wild, pretends it's no big deal
Oh, snap. By all appearances, the T-Mobile folks haven't lost sight of the popularity of the Galaxy Note, as a collection of snapshots obtained by TmoNews have revealed Samsung's phablet in none other than Magenta colors. At the very least, this suggests the Bellevue crew is considering bringing the 5.3-inch handset to its stores, and while the carrier's subscribers are currently able to use AT&T's Galaxy Note LTE on the Magenta network, it's a rather roundabout process and the results are less than ideal. We can only hope this one pans out, because really, who wouldn't love to take this monster for a proper ride on the little network that could?

Soap Dish: Brandon Barash GH Rumors!
It is Soap Dish time again my friends and this week I am a little late I know but I have a awesome topic. I am going to dish about these crazy rumors that hunky Brandon Barash is leaving General Hospital. The past couple of days Twitter has been buzzing with rumors that one of my favorite GH men was leaving, Brandon Barash. Despite the actors denies that he was not going anywhere the rumor seemed to just get worse. Thankfully this ridiculous nonsense has been squashed as of today when the shows Executive Producer Frank Valentini confirmed on Twitter that Barash and his character Johnny are not going anywhere. I don?t know where this rumor came from or who started it but I am so thrilled that it is nothing but a pack of lies. I am not only a fan of Brandon?s but I so love the character of Johnny. I mean his constant rival with Sonny is one of my favorite things about GH. Plus lets be real Barash is easy on the eyes and has amazing chemistry with any female he is put in a scene with. In fact right now I don?t know who is [...]

Corn pricing affected by global warming, federal mandates not helping, study finds
Researchers out of Purdue and Stanford University have found evidence that small temperature increases over the next two decades could have a surprisingly drastic impact on the volatility of corn prices. And federal biofuel mandates may make things worse.
Geothermal, nuclear, wind, natural gas, soybean biodiesel, corn ethanol ? these are just some of the possible ways to thwart greenhouse gas emissions that spur global warming. Yet each technological option is far from perfect, and understandably, harbors its own unique complications.
Skip to next paragraphA recent study published in Nature Climate Change, illustrates such a complication for biofuels derived from corn grown in the United States. Scientists found that, over the next two decades, climate change will probably increase the volatility of corn prices, even more so than expected factors like oil prices and trade policies. Biofuel mandates affect volatility too, and the study also suggests that such federal mandates could actually amplify the effect of rising temperature on the pricing of crop from the US corn belt.
"Frankly, I was surprised that climate had the largest effect of these three influences," said Noah Diffenbaugh of the Stanford?Woods Institute for the Environment in a recent Stanford Press Release. "These are substantial changes in price volatility that come from relatively moderate global warming."
This research, funded by the Department of Energy, illuminates two interrelated problems. The first: even if climate change stays within the internationally established "safe" limit of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit above preindustrial temperatures, a smaller temperature change could still drive up the frequency of severe heatwaves in the US, which would in turn sharply increase the volatility of corn yields, the study suggests.
The second is the constraining effect federal biofuel mandates have on the corn market. This has already been demonstrated before, as the mandates encouraged farmers to plant more corn instead of, for example, soybeans, which historically drove up the price of soy. Without regulation, the corn market, in a particularly temperate season, could allocate more of its crop to biofuel production. Alternatively, in a season of severe heat, it could keep more of its crop for food supplies, thus satisfying demand for the US's dominant crop, and keeping prices down. But under the current federal scheme, the market does not have this flexibility.
Though the study found a surprisingly strong link between climate change and corn price volatility, the researchers noted a relatively small projected impact on overall food prices. They did, however, speculate that if US corn farmers could not increase their crops' heat tolerance by as much as 6 degrees Fahrenheit, much of the US corn belt would have to migrate north, toward the Canadian border, to escape the oppressive heat extremes.
Discussion of how rising temperatures will affect corn prices seems far removed from the national debate over climate policy, which is still focused on whether or not fossil fuels contribute to global warming (almost all climate scientists say that they do).?
Corn-based biofuels have received regulatory encouragement since the Energy Tax Act of 1978, a part of the larger National Energy Act that promoted the shift of US energy to renewable and more efficient sources. Congressional intentions aside, there has been increasing public discussion about the real value of biofuels, both environmentally and economically.
Robert F. Service, writing?in Science Magazine?in 2009, highlighted the underreported strain on water resources biofuels would impose. Whereas refining oil requires 10 to 40 liters of water to produce one megawatt hour, corn ethanol irrigation requires between two and eight million liters to produce the same supply. In essence, Service writes, "an increased reliance on biofuel trades an oil problem for a water problem."

Melissa Gorga on Teresa Giudice Gold-Digging Diss: Hurtful!
The Real Housewives of New Jersey kicked off season four last night, and very little looked or sounded different to veteran viewers of this franchise.
Main case in point: Melissa Gorga is still have problems with Teresa Giudice, especially after the latter claimed - during the premiere - that Gorga would leave Teresa's husband, Joe, if a "richer man" came along.
"I'm trying everything I can to bite my tongue and give a pass here and there, but [her comments] hurt because that's family," Gorga told Us Weekly after the episode aired. "What she said [about Joe and I] made no sense. She had no rhyme or reason to say it. It's very obvious it's not the case and not true."
Why would Teresa make such statement? Her sibling had a theory, which he expressed on the opening installment.
"I believe that she's living a rough life with her husband, she's unhappy and misery loves company," Joe Gorga said.

DARPA hypersonic glider skin peeled off, says Pentagon
Darpa Hypersonic Glider: The Pentagon has explained why it aborted the DARPA hypersonic glider last year. Apparently, the unmanned craft's skin started to peel off as it reached speeds of Mach 20.?
An unmanned hypersonic glider likely aborted its 13,000 mph (20,920 kph) flight over the Pacific Ocean last summer because unexpectedly large sections of its skin peeled off, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency said Friday.
Skip to next paragraphThe Hypersonic Technology Vehicle-2, launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, atop a rocket and released on Aug. 11, 2011, was part of research aimed at developing super-fast global strike capability for the Department of Defense.
The vehicle demonstrated stable aerodynamically controlled flight at speeds up to 20 times the speed of sound, or Mach 20, for three minutes before a series of upsets caused its autonomous flight safety system to bring it down in the ocean,?DARPA?said in a statement.
A gradual wearing away of the vehicle's skin was expected because of extremely high temperatures, but an independent engineering review board concluded that the most probable cause was "unexpected aeroshell degradation, creating multiple upsets of increasing severity that ultimately activated the Flight Safety System," the statement said.
Initial shockwaves created by the gaps in the skin were more than 100 times what the vehicle was designed to withstand, but it was still able to recover and return to controlled flight, said Kaigham J. Gabriel, DARPA's acting director.
Eventually the upsets grew beyond its ability to recover.
The 2011 flight was the second time an HTV-2 was launched. The first flight, in April 2010, also ended prematurely.
Data from that flight was used to correct aerodynamic design models for the second test, resulting in controlled flight, and now data from the latest flight will be used to adjust assumptions about thermal modeling, Air Force Maj. Chris Schulz, the?DARPA?program manager, said in the statement.
"The result of these findings is a profound advancement in understanding the areas we need to focus on to advance aerothermal structures for future hypersonic vehicles. Only actual flight data could have revealed this to us," he said.
Most specific details of the program are secret.?DARPA?has released artist renderings showing a craft that looks something like the tip of a spear. After the 2011 flight the agency released handheld video, taken aboard a monitoring ship, that showed a dot streaking across the sky.
The HTV-2 would have splashed down in the ocean regardless of the anomaly. The vehicles are intended to be used once and are not recovered.

Thousands of comets orbiting new star collide every day, create visible debris ring
Comets, perhaps over 80 trillion, circle a young star that houses one alien planet and maybe more. There are thousands of daily comet collisions in the star's orbit.
A young star that is home to at least one alien planet is also ringed by a vast, dusty cloud of comets, like our own solar system. But there's a big difference: There may be as many as 83 trillion comets there, with collisions destroying thousands each day, a new study suggests.
Skip to next paragraphIn fact, there is so much dust around the star that the equivalent of 2,000 comets, each a half-mile (1 kilometer) wide, would have to have been obliterated every day to create the icy dust belt seen today, researchers say. In an announcement of the discovery, European Space Agency officials dubbed the demolition derby a "comet massacre."
The dust also could have been created by few crashes of larger comets? ? ?perhaps just two collisions every day between comets 6 miles across (10 km)? ? ?but that's still a mind-boggling statistic, they added.
"I was really surprised," study leader Bram Acke of the University of Leuven in Belgium said in a statement. "To me this was an extremely large number."
An extrasolar Kuiper belt
The crashing comets encircle the star Fomalhaut about 25 light-years from Earth. Acke and his colleagues studied the comet belt with the European Space Agency's far-infrared Herschel space observatory, which spotted the telltale dust created by the constant collisions of comets in motion, the researchers said. [Latest photos from Herschel observatory]
Depending on comets' sizes, there could be between 260 billion and 83 trillion comets in the dust belt around the star, the researchers found. If you combined the amount of material in Fomalhaut's dust belt, the mass ?would be the equivalent of 110 Earths, they added.
Fomalhaut's comet belt arrangement is similar to the Kuiper belt of icy objects beyond the orbit of Neptune in our own solar system. Scientists have known about a dust cloud surrounding Fomalhaut since the 1980s, though now the Herschel observatory has revealed the ring in greater detail than ever before.
Past observations by the Hubble Space Telescope suggested the particles that make up Fomalhaut's dust belt were fairly large. But that theory was at odds with the Herschel observatory's temperature readings of the belt.
Cosmic comet crashes
Herschel observations found that the dust belt's temperature ranges between minus 382 and minus 274 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 230 and minus 170 degrees Celsius) on average. That would correspond to tiny dust particles, each a few millionths of a meter wide, researchers explained.
The starlight from Fomalhaut would normally sweep such tiny dust particles away, yet they persist, which led Acke and his colleagues to deduce that a fresh supply of dust is coming from comet collisions.
"Since we do observe emission from dust in the disc, this blow-out effect must be compensated by a steady production of dust particles via comet collisions," co-author Carsten Dominik of the University of Amsterdam and Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen said in a statement.
One side of Fomalhaut's dust belt is warmer than the other because it is off-center, possibly due to the gravitational influence of a planet. A planet was confirmed to be orbiting the starby the Hubble Space Telescope in 2005.
Formalhaut is a relatively young star, only a few million years old, researchers said. It is about twice as massive as Earth's sun.
The Herschel space observatory is the largest and most powerful infrared space telescope in orbit today. The European Space Agency launched the infrared observatory in 2009.

Fenway Park: Living link to baseball's past turns 100
Fenway Park has survived because it is beloved by Boston's fans and because the team owners had a vision for making improvements that have allowed the park to keep functioning, flaws and all.
Fenway Park isn't just the storied home of the Boston Red Sox. It's also a venue, perhaps more than any other ballpark now in use, that links the nation to baseball's history.
Skip to next paragraphSure, the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., serves as a kind of pantheon of the sport's legend and lore.
But Fenway Park ? which celebrates its first 100 years Friday ? is the sport's living shrine.
It's not that Fenway can claim to be what Wimbledon is to tennis ? the perennial home of epic events in the sport. But as the oldest major-league ball field still in use, it offers the nearest connection that today's fans can find to an earlier era when every game was played in daylight, when the telegraph defined high-tech communication, and when starting pitchers routinely pitched a full nine innings.
And it's not just that the park is old. It's also distinctive, known most of all for that giant "Green Monster" wall that dwarfs those who play left field. It's also home to a team that has captured an outsize share of affection in the hearts of fans beyond Boston.
The Sox have a story woven with themes that resonate widely for the sport's fans: hope (think Carlton Fisk's 12th-inning home run in the 1975 World Series), heartbreak (recall all those decades of championship drought) and flamboyant characters (Babe Ruth, Luis Tiant, and Jonathan Papelbon, to name a few).
So, even though most other historic ballparks were torn down long ago, Fenway has survived.
It's survived because the park is beloved by Boston's passionate fans and because the current team owners had a vision for making improvements that have allowed the park to keep functioning, flaws and all.
The celebrations Friday coincide with a game between the Sox and the New York Yankees, longtime archrivals in the American League's eastern division.
It was the sale of Sox star Ruth to the Yankees, in 1920, that prompted the long-running talk of a "curse" on Boston. The Yanks began their chain of World Series wins under Ruth, and the stadium where they played for decades was deservedly known as the "House That Ruth Built."
But that "house" in New York City is now gone. Fenway Park lives on.
The other classic major-league ballpark still in use is Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, which opened in 1914. Wrigley can tell its own tales of hope, loss, and devoted fans. But those stories don't tend to have the intensity that Boston has provided over the years with its down-to-the-wire pennant races and recent World Series wins.
So, in a tribute to Fenway's 100th anniversary, here are some highlights of the Sox and their ballpark:
? Fenway Park's first game actually came on April 9, 1912, but it was an exhibition between the Red Sox and Harvard College. Eleven days later came the major-league opener against the New York Highlanders (now known as, yes, the Yankees). In a foretaste of thrills to come, the Sox won that game 7-6 in 11 innings.
? John F. Kennedy's grandfather, Boston Mayor John Fitzgerald, threw the ceremonial first pitch on April 20, 1912.
? In 1912, the Sox won 105 regular season games, the American League pennant, and the World Series. The team's other World Series titles while residing at Fenway came in 1915, 1916, 1918, 2004, and 2007.
? Along with the Green Monster wall, notable features of the park include "the triangle" (an angular oddity in center field where balls can ricochet) and foul poles named after Sox greats Johnny Pesky (the right-field pole) and Fisk (the left-field pole).
? Despite the long drought in World Series wins, the Sox story between 1918 and 2004 was far from dull. It included trips to the World Series in 1946, 1967, 1975, and 1986. The championship aspirations were spoiled by the St. Louis Cardinals (with a "mad dash" by Enos Slaughter coming home from first base), the Cardinals again (led by the overpowering arm of Bob Gibson), the Cincinnati Reds' "Big Red Machine," and the New York Mets (after a ground ball infamously slipped past Sox first baseman Bill Buckner to force a Game 7). Some of those moments occurred outside Fenway Park, but others, like Fisk's home run, are forever etched in the memories of Boston fans.
? In October 1978, Bucky Dent shocked Boston by hitting a home run over the Green Monster, allowing the Yankees to edge out the Sox in a crucial division playoff game at the end of the season.
?
? A turnabout moment came in 2004, when the Sox and Yanks faced each other in the American League Championship Series. The Sox appeared poised to lose in four straight games, when Kevin Millar drew a bottom-of-the-ninth walk, pinch runner Dave Roberts stole second base, and Bill Mueller drove him home with a single. The Sox went on to win the ALCS and then took their first World Series in 86 years.
? As befits its place in the sport's lore, Fenway served as a mecca for Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones in the baseball film "Field of Dreams."
? The park very nearly didn't survive. For years, team owners and local politicians grappled with questions about the field's future. Boston Globe sportswriter Bob Ryan, commenting on TV before the celebration, said the team might easily be playing now in a "theme park" field modeled on Fenway, but thanks to a few fateful decisions, "we have the real thing."
? As old as Fenway is, not all Boston's great baseball moments came with that as the home field. Pitcher Cy Young threw the first pitch at Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds in the modern World Series in 1903 while leading the Boston Americans to a championship. The Americans became the Red Sox in 1908.
The celebration Tuesday brought a legion of former Sox players onto the field before cheering Boston fans. Among them were Jim Rice, Dwight Evans, Jim Lonborg, Pedro Martinez, Nomar Garciaparra, Dennis Eckersley, Buckner, Tiant, and Fisk. And the man who led the team back to national prominence starting in the 1960s: Carl Yastrzemski.
Then, with the former greats congregating on the field, composer John Williams unleashed a "Fanfare for Fenway."
Where once Bostonians talked of a "curse," on this day it may feel more accurate to borrow a line from Shakespeare and call Fenway a "blessed plot" of turf, brick, and bleachers that could thrive for years to come.

Sensors would punch into soil, run range of tests
PULLMAN, Wash.A Washington State University astrobiologist is leading a group of 20 scientists in calling for a mission to Mars with "a strong and comprehensive life detection component." At the heart of their proposal is a small fleet of sensor packages that can punch into the Martian soil and run a range of tests for signs of ancient or existing life.
They call the mission BOLD. It's both an acronym for Biological Oxidant and Life Detection and a nod to the proposal's chutzpah. The proposal, which comes as NASA is reevaluating its Mars exploration program, appears in the journal Planetary and Space Science.
"We really want to address the big questions on Mars and not fiddle around," says Dirk Schulze-Makuch, whose earlier proposals have included an economical one-way trip to the red planet. "With the money for space exploration drying up, we finally have to get some exciting results that not only the experts and scientists in the field are interested in but that the public is interested too."
The BOLD mission would feature six 130-pound probes that could be dropped to various locations. Shaped like inverted pyramids, they would parachute to the surface and thrust a soil sampler nearly a foot into the ground upon landing. On-board instrumentation would then conduct half a dozen experiments, transmitting data to an orbiter overhead.
The soil analyzer would moisten a sample and measure inorganic ions, pH and light characteristics that might get at the sample's concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Schulze-Makuch has hypothesized that microbial organisms on Mars could be using a mixture of water and hydrogen peroxide as their internal fluid. The compound might also account for several of the findings of the Viking Mars landers in the late 1970s.
The probe's microscopic imager would look for shapes similar to known terrestrial microfossils.
Another instrument would look for single long molecules similar to the long nucleic acids created by life on earth.
Some experiments would repeat work done by the Viking landers but with a greater precision that could detect previously overlooked organic material.
Each probe would have about a 50-50 chance of landing successfully. But with the redundancy of six probes, the chance of one succeeding is better than 98 percent.

J.K. Rowling's 'Blackly Comic' Post-Potter Book Gets Release Date
'The Casual Vacancy,' Rowling's first adult novel, will be released on September 27.
By John Mitchell

It's been five long years since J.K. Rowling published "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," and now we finally have the name and release date for her first adult novel. "The Casual Vacancy" will be released by Little, Brown Book Group on September 27.
When Rowling signed her deal with Little, Brown in February, few details about the novel were made public, but now we know it is the "blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising" tale of what happens in an idyllic English village after a parish councilmember dies unexpectedly leaving a hotly sought after seat on the town council open.
"When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock," the official synopsis reads, going on to describe "a town at war."
"Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils...Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?"
At the U.K. premiere of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," Rowling told MTV News that she had been writing actively since finishing the final "Potter" book, but wanted the film franchise to conclude before she moved forward with her writing career. "I'm writing, and I've done quite a lot since finishing 'Harry,' " she said. "I also felt I wanted the last film out of the way before I made any moves on the publishing front. 'Harry' is so huge and I suppose my involvement with the world has still been quite intense. This feels like a new beginning to me."
The seven "Potter" books represent the best-selling book series in history, with more than 450 million copies in print, and inspired the most successful film franchise ever, grossing more than $7.7 billion worldwide. Scholastic published Rowling's "Potter" books in the U.S. but does not publish novels for adult audiences.
Little, Brown said the 480-page "Casual Vacancy" will be available as a traditional hardcover, but will also be sold as an e-book and audio download.
