Salt water is important news because it shows that the water was there for a long period of time and that it had some sort of feeds (rivers?) to keep adding eroded minerals and maintain water levels, not just some brief puddle.
"We did find life on Mars. Samples returned by astronauts to Mars contained bacteria exactly like that found in the human gut and lungs."
Seriously though, what is Mars going to teach us? What would happen if our planet had about 2/3 it's present mass and was a few million miles farther from the sun? Environmental threats on Earth are almost entirely manmade and the solutions are available right now (population control, etc) but the will is not.
"The Man Show" (yes, not exactly "Frontline") set up a stand somewhere and asked woman to sign a petition to end "Woman's Sufferage". Most of them gladly signed and some even made comments in disgust about the evils of it.
They should make Dunkin Doughnuts pay for the cost of picking up styrofoam cup litter. 9 times out of 10 any cup lying on the ground will say Dunkin Doughnuts on it. My other favorite is discarded lottery tickets but that is another article.
"wouldn't it make more sense to train flight attendants in some kind of martial arts/self-defense, tailored for use within the cramped confines of a crowded airplane?"
I cringe every time I hear someone make that kind of suggestion. It takes serious practice and lots of time to get to the point where you can not only move reflexively but also make the movements correctly. A small error in an attack can be the difference between one that is effective and one that leaves you exposed and vulnerable. Sure you could simply try kicking someone in the groin but most people can't do it without "telegraphing" their intent (making it obvious what they are about to do).
Training flight staff like that may make them feel good but it could be a false feeling of security. A botched attack would elminate any chance of surprise as the attackers would now be on guard more than before. People are probably just better off mobbing the attackers and getting in their face. Most criminals don't want any sort of fight, even a crude one.
"the 9/11 terrorists also took advantage of the standard practice of placating terrorists"
I don't think anyone placated the terrorists, there was never any negotiating going on (nor was any intended) and as you mentioned, the terrorists started slashing staff to terrorize the rest of the passengers.

Picture people sneaking into government offices and sneaking off with incriminating emails on their USB memory sticks! Then they leave 128MB of pr0n on the system and make a call to the Mirror and the Sun telling them about government machines being used to store nudie pix and show them the emails.
Are you saying that you couldn't even change your own oil or you own air filter? I'd hate to have to have to go to the $dealer$ for just routine maintenance tasks.
I'm sick of all these stereotypes of Scandinavian woman, we all know they aren't mechanically inept but are actually all hot nymphomaniac bikini models or stewardesses.
The men of course all wear helmets with cow horns on them.
I hope EMP isn't a problem because if there is a nuke attack the first thing I plan on doing is getting in my car and running some errands in the blast zone.
I'm also concerned that my car isn't meteor proof or orc proof.
Well, it does specifically say in Genesis 1:1 that god created the "heavens [sky and stars] and the earth" not "heavens and the earths". This is repeated in 2:1 and 2:4. A bible literalist would say that it clearly points to only one world with life (assuming they accept the existence of other planets).
Where does it say the sun revolves around the earth? That didn't stop the Catholic church from holding to that belief for over a thousand years. Religion isn't based on science anyway, it is based on faith and believers shouldn't look to science to confirm their faith. It has to come from the heart, not the head. Believers tried that with Copernicus and they learned their lesson, someday the anti-evolution crowd will do the same.
They have stated that they found signs of sulfur and bromine compound desposits (amoung other things). The amounts of each correspond to their depth in the ground which is representative of a drying salt lake. As the lake dries different minerals form deposits over time in a layering effect.
The results they are finding imply water was in a liquid state for a significant amount of time. It was long enough for hydrated minerals to form and salt lake signatures (sulfur and bromine deposits) to form, similar to what forms in dry salt lakes.
You don't need fossils to have sedmentary rocks. Shale is sedimentary and doesn't need to contain any fossils to exist. They would be the most interesting rocks to return though since they would most likely contain a layered time history of the planet.
Hah! I'm not going to fall for that! Soupy Sales got in trouble during the 50s for asking kids on his TV show to get their mom's purses and dad's wallets and send him all of the pictures of the presidents they can find. He got them, a lot of them! Then he got fired.
I hope his next machine makes the frames. The experiences of folks I know who wear glasses (I don't) has been that the lenses are not the biggest cost, it is the frames. Why do frames cost so damn much? I know super cheap frames would be fine for charitable aid to poor people just so they can see but the cost of your average frames, something that strikes me as pretty simple to make, is way too high in the US.
Are frames really that complex and hard to make or is there a lack of competition in the marketplace?
Just think how people are going to react when the inevitable device false positives results in the local police chief or some grandmother stuck in a car that is screaming that they are drunk.
"But I'm not drunk!" "Then why are the lights flashing and the horn blasting, boozehound?"

God help them when they need to do any maintenance. Hope they never have a big spill or flooding.

I guess that is why it is called "faith".
