To Chance Hartner, Renowned Cop In Northeast Kansas

Hey Hartner; how often do you visit the homes of teenage girls and tell them you will assist them in becoming emancipated minors? And why would you do this? Emancipated or not, a child is still technically not old enough to consume alcohol, and a child is still technically not old enough to "consent". And are you in the habit of making statements like this, "hey adkins how about i kill you if you get on my computer again" on sites like Facebook? You probably did not really mean it, but it was a careless thing to say.

Does this star bother you?
 

Or is it this star that upsets you so much?

Or is it simply a matter of this star not sitting well with you?
 
Whichever it is, kid, I have the right to tell my teenage children that they are not allowed to drink with your friends or go to bars. I hope you are able to understand that, and that I do not have to say it again.

A Star Is Born

A star is born.....well; about twenty-five million years ago; pretty recent in the life of a star! Astomoners at NASA noticed gamma rays pulsing at 183.8 times a second, with a spin period of 5.44 milliseconds. Actually, the object was "discovered" in the 1990's; we just didn't know about it's "gamma ray brightness" until now. This pulsar is about 27,000 light years away from us. The reason this discovery caught my attention is because it has not been taught, so far, that an object with a spin of 5.44 milliseconds would be so bright, or have the magnestism this object apparently has. We are realizing, at long last, that we do not know everything. At least most of us do not insist upon seeing the world and the sky the same way the Church saw the world and the sky when Galileo attempted to introduce new ideas! We will still, however; have to update the physics we are teaching today. Below is an illustration I snagged from Nasa.
