Three New Planets and a Mystery Object Discovered Outside Our Solar System Click on image for high-resolution file. Three planets -- each orbiting its own giant, dying star -- have been discovered by an international research team led by Alex Wolszczan, an Evan Pugh Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at Penn State, using the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. Penn State is a major partner in the design, construciton, and operation of this telescope, which is one of the largest in the world. In 1992, Wolszczan became the first astronomer ever to discover planets outside our solar system. 26 October 2011 — Three planets -- each orbiting its own giant, dying star -- have been discovered by an international research team led by a Penn State University astronomer. The three newly-discovered planetary systems are more evolved than our own solar system. Once Wolszczan and his team had confirmed that HD 240237, BD +48 738, and HD 96127 did indeed have planets orbiting around them, they measured the metal content of the stars and found some interesting correlations.
Internationalizing Student Learning Outcomes in History: A Report to the American Council on Education The task force presented its final report in September 2005 to a national gathering of higher education administrators in Washington, DC. Committee Members: Noralee Frankel (American Historical Association); Kevin Gaines (University of Michigan); John Gillis (Rutgers University); Dane Kennedy (George Washington University), Chair; Patrick Manning (Northeastern University), Sonya Michel (University of Maryland at College Park); Kevin Reilly (Raritan Community College); and Peter N. Stearns (George Mason University). A. B. C. D. E. F. A. Now, more than ever, the cumulative effects of global exchange, engagement, and interdependence make it important that we provide our students with an international perspective on the past. An international perspective can be integrated into the history curriculum in various ways. This report addresses both the general challenge of internationalizing history survey courses and the particular challenge presented by the American history survey. B. 1. 2. 4.
Etymologically Speaking... From the old Arabic word "hashshshin," which meant, "someone who is addicted to hash," that is, marijuana. Originally refered to a group of warriors who would smoke up before battle. Aaron White adds: You may want to explore the fact that the hashshshins were somewhat of a voodoo-ized grand conspiracy scapegoat cult (the very fact of their existence is impossible to confirm). They supposedly were a secret society (a la the FreeMasons) which was influential in every middle eastern court from Persia to Bangladesh. They were supposedly a brotherhood of assasins, devoted to their caballa and its secrecy, protected by an unlimited number of fanatical followers and unlimited material wealth. Assassination was their favorite method of instituting their power (see the Zoroastrian lore of the eunich priest Arachmenes and his assistance to Darius and Xerxes in their rise to/fall from power).

3quarksdaily: Mapping History 1920's Automobiles The rapidly growing automobile industry led by Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company produced new and better models every year to supply the insatiable public demand. Increased wages and lower cost vehicles made possible through mass production meant that cars became increasingly affordable, although 3 out of 4 cars were bought on installment plans. Roads that had been designed for horse transport began to deteriorate under the steadily increasing load of traffic. In 1906 local governments supplied 96 per cent. of the road funding. In 1927 the State governments supplied about 37 per cent., the Federal Government 10 per cent., and the local governments 53 per cent. While horse-drawn traffic prevailed, roads were a matter for local administration, but the motorcar brought the question into a broader jurisdiction. The funding problem for building and maintaining roads suitable for motor cars was largely solved by the introduction of a tax on gas. Vintage Car Clubs Vintage Car Show
Appraising the Electoral College - Bill of Rights Institute Every four years Americans head to the polls to select the presidential candidate they like best. Most people think their vote is a direct link to the candidate of their choice – but things aren’t quite that simple. In reality, individuals vote for an elector who has pledged to vote for a particular candidate. After the main election, these electors convene and cast their votes to determine who will become the next president. The Electoral College has many quirks and complexities than can be difficult to explain, and it can create a few problems from time to time. One of the main problems is that presidential candidates don’t have to win the popular vote in order to win the electoral vote and therefore the presidency. In this eLesson, learn more about how the Electoral College functions and why the Framers thought it was a good idea. Resources What is the Electoral College? Why did the Framers create the Electoral College? Documents of Freedom: Elections Discussion Questions
