Scientists Find New Clues About the Interiors of ‘Super-Earth’ Exoplanets

As we learned in science class in school, the Earth has a molten interior (the outer core) deep beneath its mantle and crust. The temperatures and pressures are increasingly extreme, the farther down you go. The liquid magmas can “melt” into different types, a process referred to as pressure-induced liquid-liquid phase separation. Graphite can turn into diamond under similar extreme pressures. Now, new research is showing that a similar process could take place inside “Super-Earth” exoplanets, rocky worlds larger than Earth, where a molten magnesium silicate interior would likely be transformed into a denser state as well.

“The Sun’s Astrosphere” —Did Moving Outside the Interstellar Boundary Cause Earth’s Mass Extinctions?

“The matter in our solar system contain much more oxygen than alien particles,” said Seth Redfield, a non-mission expert to help verify results from the space agency’s ongoing IBEX (Interstellar Boundary Explorer) mission, an unmanned probe that analyzes the interstellar boundary that protects much of our solar system, including the Earth, from deadly cosmic rays from interstellar space. “This surprised everyone. Now we have to find out why our matter is so oxygen rich.”

MARCY DOLIN: I’m lying on my bed, smoking a joint. I smoke about eight a day, and eat a marijuana cookie before I go to sleep at night. I like the peanut-butter ones. I’ve been using marijuana for about 35 years, ever since I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. It takes the pain and muscle spasms away. Without it, I would be living on morphine and other horrible drugs. I couldn’t do that to my family. That’s no life, and I would have ended it. That’s the truth. I used to take a drug called Neurontin, and I just never stopped crying. I was in a fog, totally depressed. I told my doctor that I was going back to just marijuana; he said he would have me arrested if he could. What are they going to do? I’m 71 years old. Are they going to put me in jail? I’m not hurting anybody. It’s just here in my own house.

I’m the co-chair, and organizer for a local outreach program that was just started in my town to help queer kids and allies.

I put together some “info handouts” and we’re all really excited about them.

Please let me know if you have ideas for more, or how we should change them to be even more inclusive.

Thanks everybody!

Update: From all the feedback, I’ve changed certain definitions and certain things on each flyer! Let me know if there’s still anything that can change!

Just reblogging the update!

awe! =D

Some great resources, made more admirable by the fact that they took input from the community, went back, and updated.

A couple things I’d like to add:

- Pay close attention to those asterisks.  Not everyone identifies with labels the same way.  For example, I know plenty of women who identify as gay.  I’m bigender but identify (depending on the day) as gay and/or lesbian.  By technical definition that’s “wrong” — but because these labels are fairly fluid and identity is intensely personal, there is no “wrong.”

- Identity is intensely personal (as stated above).  No one can tell you what you are or not.  You can’t tell someone else what they are or not.  A friend of mine is bisexual and people tell her she’s gay or straight depending on who she’s dating — not ok.  Someone online recently was told that they’re not REALLY FTM because they still like some typically “feminine” things.  Also not okay.

- Re:5 Ways to End Heterosexism #1, this happens in more ways than you may realize.  Just like you might assume or not assume an individual’s sexuality or the gender of their partner, be careful with your language when you’re speaking with multliple people.  Basically, don’t assume the world is heterosexual.  Make sure to say “boyfriend or girlfriend” or the gender-neutral “partner” so that you don’t inadvertently alienate someone in a group.

Rebuttal of the Day: At a taping of her show set to air tomorrow, Ellen DeGeneres called out conservative group One Million Moms (actual membership: 40,000) for calling on JCPenney to dump her as their spokesperson or risk losing customers “with traditional values.”

“I usually don’t talk about stuff like this on my show, but I really want to thank everyone who is supporting me,” Ellen told her audience. “Here are the values I stand for. I stand for honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you’d want to be treated and helping those in need. To me, those are traditional values. That’s what I stand for.”

She then concluded, in signature Ellen fashion: “I also believe in dance.”

Plan B6 of the Day: Officials at Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania were asked to explain their decision to offer students access to the emergency contraception pill Plan B through a vending machine inside the school’s health center.

“We had some conversations with them and did a survey of the student body and we got an 85 percent response rate that the students supported Plan B in the House Center,” said Ship’s Vice president of Student Affairs, Dr. Roger Serr.

One dose of the so-called “morning-after pill,” which can legally be purchased over-the-counter by individuals 17 or older, will set students back $25. The university says it uses money made from sales to purchase more pills. Some 350 to 400 doses are sold each year.

“The vending machine is just a way to dispense it,” said Dr. Serr. “It’s provided, it’s not necessarily promoted on a large scale.”
