Leading Astronomer Resigns Over Sexual Harassment Allegations

Leading Astronomer Resigns Over Sexual Harassment Allegations: One of the biggest stars in astronomy - Geoff Marcy - who has led the search for exoplanets, has been forced to resign from his position at UC Berkeley over allegations he’s been sexually harassing women in his department throughout the years.

Brothers Brutally Beaten in Church to Make Them Confess Sins: The parents, sister and some other church members of the Word of Life Church in upstate New York have been arrested after they brutally beat two teenage brothers - one fatally - in an effort to get them to confess their sins. This is crazy, when I read the article, I was hoping there would be information about how I could donate to this church, but I couldn’t find any information. Anyone else having this problem? Hopefully, Kim Davis’ lawyers will pitch-in and defend these poor people. I guess the arrest of these loving parents and their fellow church goers further proves what Mike Huckabee is always telling us about how freedom of religion is under attack.

Physicist Explains Bengals Win By Earth’s Rotation: Famed cosmologist Neil DeGrasse Tyson claims that the reason Cincinnati Bengals Mike Nugent’s field goal attempt dropped in after striking the left side of the goalpost upright last Sunday, was because the Earth’s Coriolis force deflects airborne north-south projectiles to the right about 1/2-in per 50 yds. In other news, Congress announced they are considering legislation to prevent theoretical physicists from betting on football.
