This Week @NASA

The three new members of the Expedition 27 crew are busy making the International Space Station their new home for the next five months. NASA managers will hold a Flight Readiness Review on Tuesday, April 19, to assess the team's ability to support launch of space shuttle Endeavour on STS-134. NASA headquarters welcomed students from Maryland School for the Blind in Baltimore to Disability Mentoring Day. Inside the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Spacecraft Assembly Facility, news media donned special clean-room garments for a close-up look at NASA's next Mars rover, Curiosity. Goddard Space Flight Center employees joined with the American Red Cross to kick-off the Gabrielle Giffords Honorary Save-a-Life Campaign. More than 800 students in College Station, Texas, celebrated the end of six weeks of training as part of Mission X: Train Like An Astronaut. Nearly 70 high school and college teams throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Germany, India and Russia descended on the US Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville for the 18th annual NASA Great Moonbuggy Race. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle on the surface of the moon, and the Marshall Space Flight Center team, along with Apollo astronauts Charlie Duke and Harrison Schmitt helped celebrate the historic feat. Forty-one years ago this week, on April 11, 1970, Apollo 13 launched from the Kennedy Space Center on what was supposed to be NASA's third manned mission to the moon <b>...</b>

SanSe Video 2012 Friday.MOV

Fiesta de la Calle de San Sebastian Friday, January 13th, 2012. Friday was the second day of this annual festival and it was the second procession up the Street of San Sebastian in Old San Juan. It was slightly bigger than the first one on Thursday, the day before. But while it is a small parade what follows is big. Large crowds of people of all ages make their way one way or the other to the congested streets, but in a spirited and safe atmosphere, courtesy of the warmth of the people of Puerto Rico. Tourists from the nearby docked ocean liners can take nice walk uphill to the main site of musical performances as well as the work of the best artisans of the UScolony of Puerto Rico (one of the few official colonies in the world -- if not the only one).

Top news channels report God is on Earth! He'll Transform into immortality in 92 days or less!

Top news channels report God is on Earth! He'll Transform into immortality in 92 days or less!

The planet prepares for the biggest event in history: the Transformation of the Man Christ Jesus, Jose Luis De Jesus. That is the reason why the planet is in birthpains - earthquakes, famine, floods - since it is the period whereby the Image of the Beast (now seen worldwide through his satellite channel) would have power for 42 months to act right before He transforms. Top news channels worldwide have had the honor of interviewing Him, God on Earth....many have dismissed him as just a "regular man" however the prophesies say that His Second coming would be just like the days of Noah, where he would be forewarning about the flood and many would not listen. It's also written that He would suffer and be rejected by this generation, therefore all the erroneous media reports published about him is part of the fulfillment of the prophesies since he does things in the same manner. Many dismissed Jesus of Nazareth as a regular man, but the world was in for a big surprise when he resurrected. Now, in the same manner, the next time the world sees Him, he will be transformed into a body of radiation, fire and immortality in 92 days or less from today March 30, 2012. Later don't say you were not told! Investigate: www.cegenglish.com

Wrestler Mockingly Praises 'Mother' Jan Brewer

via Latino Voices on HuffingtonPost.com by AP on 3/31/12

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Defiantly waving an Arizona state flag, the self-described American patriot leaps into an octagon-shaped ring amid blaring music and loud boos from an overwhelmingly Latino audience, who hold aloft signs in Spanish supporting his masked Mexican opponents.

"My name is RJ Brewer and I'm from Phoenix, Arizona," the wrestler proclaims in a video of a recent match provided by the promoter. Taunts from inside the arena get louder.

He proceeds to rail against Mexican beer and to demand that people speak English. Then he points to the message painted on the backside of his red trunks: "SB1070" – a reference to Arizona's controversial immigration law. The crowd, some wearing masks of their favorite Mexican wrestlers, shrieks ever louder. He then brags that his "mother," Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, is helping "save" America by pushing policies that limit immigration (he's not really her son).

When his masked opponent in a red cape appears, the crowd erupts into cheers.

Lucha libre – or "free wrestling" in Spanish – is a brand of Mexican wrestling that dates to the 1930s. The sport came north to the United States, along with Mexican immigrants, and over the years spawned clubs in some larger U.S. cities with large Latino communities.

State's Gay Marriage Law Faces Challenge

via Gay Voices by AP on 3/31/12

BOSTON -- A legal battle over a law that denies federal benefits to married gay couples is headed to a federal appeals court in Massachusetts, the first state in the nation to legalize gay marriage.

The federal Defense of Marriage Act, enacted by Congress in 1996, defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman and prevents the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages.

A federal judge in Massachusetts declared a key section of the law unconstitutional in 2010 after Attorney General Martha Coakley and the legal group Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders sued. Judge Joseph Tauro found that the law is unconstitutional because it interferes with the right of a state to define marriage and denies married gay couples an array of federal benefits given to heterosexual married couples, including the ability to file joint tax returns.
