Who does Mars better? I think Venosa inspired the planet ;)This image of layered deposits on a plateau in the Valles Marineris region of Mars was taken in 2007 by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The image shows about three-fourths of a mile across. Scientists think the layers contain opaline silica and iron sulfates formed through alteration by acidic water.

The 513-pound (233-kilogram) fish was the priciest since 2001 when a 440-pound (200 kilogram) tuna sold for a record 20.2 million yen ($220,000) at Tokyo's Tsukiji market.
Sometimes, a picture really is worth a thousand words..

Philadelphia - New LED tattoos from the University of Pennsylvania could make the Illustrated Man real (minus the creepy stories, of course).
Researchers there are developing silicon-and-silk implantable devices which sit under the skin like a tattoo.
Already implanted into mice, these tattoos could carry LEDs, turning your skin into a screen.
"I can see it now: I'll visit my grandkids every year and a half or so, remind them that I am actually their grandfather, and if it's not too awkward, I'll sit them on my lap," Rodriguez said during a postgame press conference, adding that he'll probably have grandchildren he barely knows scattered throughout the country.
Then I'll tell them about how I once knocked an 0-2 Brian Fuentes pitch over the right-field wall during the ALCS."
Added Rodriguez, "While I'm doing this I'll make sure my 23-year-old girlfriend waits in the car."
Phila - If you want to know what Jimmy Rollins's walk-off double looked like from the Dodgers’ bench, don’t ask Manny Ramirez for his vantage point.
"Actually, I was in the shower," Ramirez said. “I only saw the highlight.”
The Associated Press is reporting that director Roman Polanski has been taken into custody by Swiss police on the 1978 U.S. arrest warrant for having sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Polanski was flying in to receive an honorary award at the Zurich Film Festival when he was detained late Saturday at the airport, organizers at the festival said in a statement.

Philadelphia - Hall & Oates at the Spectrum October 23.
Toying with his mother’s old Victrola had shown him that changing the speed of a recording could alter both pitch and timbre. He could record at half-speed and replay the results at normal speed, creating the illusion of superhuman agility. He altered instrumental textures through microphone positioning and reverberation. Technology and studio effects, he realized, were instruments themselves.
Genius.
PHILADELPHIA—Despite having been with the team for more than six years,
visibly upset Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Chase Utley told
reporters Monday that he can sense his teammates prefer the company of
recent acquisition Cliff Lee to his own. "I really don't get it with
these guys. I really don't," Utley said while first baseman Ryan Howard
showed Lee around the clubhouse. "You see that? Ryan never puts his arm
around me. Never. It's been five fucking years. He should be wanting me
to put my arm around him." According to Phillies sources, when Utley
approached his teammates and asked what more he needed to do, shortstop
Jimmy Rollins said that "this," referring to Utley's approach and
demeanor, "is definitely part of the problem."
