Floating Cities On Venus

Geoffrey.landis writes "Some of you may have heard me talk about colonizing Venus. Well, for those who haven't, Universe Today is running story about floating cities on Venus. It's a reasonable alternative for space colonies — after all, the atmosphere of Venus (at about 50 km) is the most Earth-like environment in the solar system (other than Earth, of course). '50 km above the surface, Venus has air pressure of approximately 1 bar and temperatures in the 0C-50C range, a quite comfortable environment for humans. Humans wouldn't require pressurized suits when outside, but it wouldn't quite be a shirtsleeves environment. We'd need air to breathe and protection from the sulfuric acid in the atmosphere.'"

Doorstep Astronomy: Venus Shines Bright

Currently, the planet Venus is visible, albeit very low in the western evening sky right after sundown. Those with obstructions such as trees or buildings toward the west may not be able to see Venus yet, thanks to its low altitude. But this current evening apparition of Venus is going to evolve into a very good one in the coming days and weeks, so let's get into a fuller explanation of what is to come.

From my Webmaster Tools, I know for a fact that Google has re-crawled all of the pages on the site within the last 2 weeks, but is still displaying the majority of the indexed pages with the old title tags.

If Life Exists on Venus, Could it be Blown to Earth?

We've heard about the possibility of extraterrestrial life arriving on Earth from another planet, asteroid or comet, but the mode of transport usually includes a chunk of rock falling through the atmosphere as a meteorite. But there could be another form of interplanetary transportation. What if there are microbial forms of alien life floating in the upper atmosphere of Venus (the planet's clouds contain compounds that could indicate presence of micro organisms)? Could they make the trip to Earth? Apparently it is possible, if Earth and Venus are correctly aligned, the solar wind may carry microbes from the upstream Venus to downstream Earth in a matter of days…

06/30/08 - CMS Puts 10-Day Hold on Medicare Physician Payment

The hold is designed to avoid disruption in the delivery of services and payment of fee-for-service claims, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said. “This should have minimum impact on provider cash flow because, under current law, electronic claims are not paid any sooner than 14 days (29 days for paper claims) after the date of receipt.

'[title of show]': The organic evolution of a musical via the Web

NEW YORK: It's hard work thinking about "[title of show]." Most musicals unveil themselves and then just sit there, in polite stasis, while we consider at our leisure their meaning and worth. Not "[title of show]," which proclaims its meta nature with its very name. This spill of show business mercury by the composer-lyricist Jeff Bowen and the librettist Hunter Bell changes each time it shows up on the New York scene, which it has often done over the past four years.
