David Moulton, The News-Press columnist(Photo: news-press.com)When the FHSAA looks like the rational one in the debate then you have real cause for concern.Such is the case this past week after the Florida Senate Education panel unanimously passed (without debate) HB 7039. That bill would allow parents to pick any school in the state for their child to attend, whether for academic or athletic reasons.

Let’s start in the evening: Jupiter rises in the east about 8:40 p.m., and you’ll find this giant planet near the back legs of the constellation Leo the lion.

Changing phases of the Moon affect the amount of rainfall on Earth, though very slightly, scientists have found for the first time. When the Moon is high in the sky, it creates bulges in the planet's atmosphere that creates imperceptible changes in the amount of rain that falls below, researchers said. "As far as I know, this is the first study to convincingly connect the tidal force of the Moon with rainfall," said Tsubasa Kohyama, a doctoral student at the University of Washingto..>> view original'Planet Nine' conjecture interesting but unproven, says NASA
