...group in the discovery of HAT-P-1, which stands for “the first planet detected by a Hungarian Automated Telescope.” With four-inch apertures, these miniature telescopes, some of the smallest in the world, are “just off-the-shelf big telephoto lenses,” said team member Robert W. Noyes, professor of astronomy. Bakos could not be reached for comment yesterday. After recording the change in light emissions from a star in the double star system ADS 16402, the team noticed a periodic dimming every four and a half days...
...usually a "night pain" in its early phases. Ball throwing and racquet sports become uncomfortable but you can still manage to play - it's the pain later on, especially at night, that first brings the patients in. Overhead activities like putting up books or stacking dishes on a high shelf give the same hard-to-pinpoint shoulder and upper-arm pain.

The movie is packed with top-shelf versions of the dumb-guy jokes that have sustained sitcoms for years, which you'd think would be great stuff for a trailer...
...bulk of sightseers from returning. "It's been slow. Seems like everybody's doing about 30 percent of the business they were doing pre-Katrina," says Tom Mullen, whose grandmother founded the French Quarter psychic reading shop Bottom of the Cup Tea Room back in 1929. On a display shelf in the shop, next to the crystal balls and good-fortune candles, are packets of incense that promise to "Cleanse Negativity" and restore "Peace and Balance...
