PAY ATTENTION!

Stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies behave in a way that suggests the galaxies are utterly dominated by dark matter, University of Michigan astronomers have found.

Astronomy professor Mario Mateo and post-doctoral researcher Matthew Walker measured the velocity of 6,804 stars in seven dwarf satellite galaxies of the Milky Way: Carina, Draco, Fornax, Leo I, Leo II, Sculptor and Sextans. They found that, contrary to what Newton's law of gravity predicts, stars in these galaxies do not move slower the farther they are from their galaxy's core.

"These galaxies show a problem right from the center," Mateo said. "The velocity doesn't get smaller. It just stays the same, which is eerie."

Q: What I'd like to know, is how I can make money off of the dark matter?

Q; What's the deal with Trusty's Fourth Wise Man? I mean, how "forthwise" should one be, given all this complicated dark matter action?

Trusty was a punk band that formed in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1989. The band moved from Little rock to Washington, DC in 1992. They disbanded in early 1998.

The new Chinese Politburo Standing Committe was named two days ago. As one member passed on, and 3 members were replaced, there are 4 new men on the committee. Everyone in Hollywood is reading, or straining to read, the new material. It's possible to wedge new material into the tv schedule based on the new look, there's money involved, cachet and mystery have always been the stock in trade of the entertainment industry. In other words, "What is an intellectual bully" and "How do they get over on people?" More news in 5 years at the next Plenary congress.

Q: Why am I watching this?

A: I don't know.

Here is the PRC leadership. Instead of a president and vice president, they have 9 leaders.

胡錦濤 Hu Jin Tao
吳邦國
溫家寶 Warm family treasure
賈慶林
李長春 The long spring
習近平 Practice kind criticism
李克強 Party punk strongman
賀國強 Rich nation strongman
周永康 Safety perimeter forever (a la Billy Joel)

The two strongmen are new members, and are intersting; will married and romantic couples find a template for love here at the politburo? Will the two strongmen hook up in an M/F marriage format disguised in a movie? Somehow? Somewhere? At Netflix? You have to ask yourself, which one are you? It's difficult to permanently decide.

It's a good setup anyway.

Strong Man? It could just as well be a strong woman.

Chinese politics has a lot to do with American politics, it's just difficult, or impossible, for George Stephanopoulos and George Will to properly read the material.
