A senior Saudi Muslim cleric says that “there is no doubt” that the sun revolves around the earth, as seen in a video translated Monday by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). This may be causing some grief with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as they have been ordered by President Obama to “help [the Muslim world] feel good about their historic contribution to science, math and engineering.”

Granted, the NASA directive was just another of Obama’s idiot ideologies like Liberation Theology, anti-capitalism, racialism, and the destruction of American leadership in the world, but who cares?  It’s only science.

March is Colon Cancer Awareness month.  To help raise awareness Tulsa Cancer Institute is hosting a free exhibit on March 24th from 9:00 a.m-5:00 p.m. and March 25th from 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.  This free event is open to the public.  The goal of this exhibit is to help educate the community on the importance of screening, especially since colon cancer often has no symptoms.  Tulsa Cancer Institute is located at 12697 E. 51st South, Tulsa, OK 74146.

As visitors walk through this exhibit they will get a close-up look at healthy tissue, tissue with non-malignant disease, and tissue in different stages of colon cancer.  Colon cancer, also called colorectal cancer, is the second leading cancer killer in the U.S.  1 out of 20 Americans will be diagnosed with colon cancer in their lifetimes. Although most colon cancer cases occur in those over the age of 50, it can strike at any age.

For people who don’t find sufficient relief, or are burdened by existing treatment options, some ultimately make the emotionally painful decision to give up their cats, depriving themselves and family of companionship with their adored pets. A new study at BreatheAmerica Tulsa is evaluating a different approach.

Artist concept of NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter with actual images taken by the spacecraft

NASA’s Mars Odyssey spacecraft has tweaked its orbit to help scientists make the first systematic observations of how morning fogs, clouds and surface frost develop in different seasons on the Red Planet.

The maneuver took place Tuesday, Feb. 11. Odyssey team engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and Lockheed Martin Space Systems of Denver, designed the gentle move to accelerate Odyssey’s drift toward a morning-daylight orbit. The desired change will occur gradually until the intended orbit geometry is reached in November 2015 and another maneuver halts the drift.
