Seti's smartening up

SETI Search Resumes at Allen Telescope Array, Targeting New Planets

ScienceDaily (Dec. 7, 2011) — The Allen Telescope Array (ATA) is once again searching planetary systems for signals that would be evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence. Among its first targets are some of the exoplanet candidates recently discovered by NASA's Kepler space telescope.

"This is a superb opportunity for SETI observations," said Jill Tarter, the Director of the Center for SETI Research at the SETI Institute. "For the first time, we can point our telescopes at stars, and know that those stars actually host planetary systems -- including at least one that begins to approximate an Earth analog in the habitable zone around its host star. That's the type of world that might be home to a civilization capable of building radio transmitters."

its good all right but they get to litle fundings to do any real meaningful work, just saying this, the arms industry gets more. what if we would turn it around and give it to the science instead to do some meaning ful as this with it

Yes, freezing. And I hit my toe yesterday on my stoopid ergometer bike and it hurts like hell. Feel free to feel very sorry for me, hahaha.

Seriously. It's endemic in frigid climates. If the pain becomes throbbing and your toe gets red and swollen and hurts like someone drove a drywall screw in the big joint, you've got it! I've had it for years.

That sounds awful, sorry to hear it. But honestly, I just hit my toe really hard, I was hurrying to answer the phone and forgot I had moved the bike from it's usual place because I had cleaned the floor... OUCH!!!!
