...overly friendly" e-mails from Congressman Foley to one page were first made public on the "Stop Sex Predators" website-they were the sixth messages of any kind posted to the blog. This site has the look and feel of an amateur production-less a sophisticated sting operation than a man in a sandwich board, perhaps with a tinfoil hat accessory. The typos, the brief back catalog, the, um, single-mindedness all have led some in the blogosphere to question the site's legitimacy. No one knows for sure how this blogger came across the e-mails...

This weekend, on the set of his newest film Postal-you guessed it, another adaptation of a violent video game, set to open in 2007-he will enter a boxing ring with four Internet film critics, one after another, for a three-round slugfest that he hopes will teach critics a lesson...
...Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), is the largest planet ever detected. But researchers at the same center have also found another so-called “hot Jupiter”—a significant discovery in its own right. Both breakthroughs came with the aid of small amateur telescopes. The smaller and less-publicized of the pair. TrES-2, is still 30 percent larger in size and mass than Jupiter. Assistant Professor of Astronomy David Charbonneau designed the telescopes that facilitated the discovery, and he also co-authored the report disclosing the planet’s existence. He?...
