Critical ionization velocity - encyclopedia article about Critical ionization velocity.
Critical ionization velocity - encyclopedia article about Critical ionization velocity.: "Alfvén considered a neutral gas cloud entering the Solar System, and noted that a neutral atom will fall towards the Sun under the influence of gravity, and its kinetic energy will increase. If their motion is random, collisions will cause the gas temperature to rise, so that at a certain distance from the Sun, the gas will ionize. Alfvén writes that the ionization potential of the gas, Vion, occurs when:
that is, at a distance of:
(where ri is the ion distance from the Sun of mass M, m' is the atom weight, Vion is in volts, k is the gravitational constant). Then when the gas becomes ionized, electromagnetic forces come into effect, of which the most important is the magnetic force which is usually greater than the gravitational force which gives rise to a magnetic repulsion from the Sun. In other words, a neutral gas falling from infinity toward the Sun is stopped at a distance ri where it will accumulate, and perhaps condense into planets.
Alfvén found that by taking a gas cloud with an average ionisation voltage of 12V, and average atomic weight of 7, then the distance ri is found to coincide with the orbit of Jupiter"

Critical ionization velocity - encyclopedia article about Critical ionization velocity.: "Critical ionization velocity (CIV, also called Critical velocity, CV) is the relative velocity between a neutral gas and plasma (an ionized gas), at which the neutral gas will start to ionize. If more energy is supplied, the velocity of the atoms or molecules will not exceed the critical ionization velocity until the gas becomes almost fully ionized."

Benedict Arnold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Benedict Arnold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Benedict Arnold V (January 14, 1741 [O.S. January 3, 1740][1][2] – June 14, 1801) was a general during the American Revolutionary War. He began the war in the Continental Army but later defected to the British Army. While he was still a general on the American side, he obtained command of the fort at West Point, New York, and plotted unsuccessfully to surrender it to the British. After the plot was exposed in September 1780, he entered the British Army as a brigadier general."

Helena Bonham Carter's Bizarre Red Carpet Style - 68th Annual Golden Globes on omg! on Yahoo!: "Leave it to Helena Bonham Carter to make a sartorial statement.
The eccentric British actress -- known for her whimsical, theatrical wardrobe -- outdid herself at this year's Globes, sporting a kooky Vivienne Westwood dress, one red shoe, and one green shoe. As you can see, the frock is a headache-inducing explosion of black lace and clashing prints.
Bonham Carter -- who's up for a Best Supporting Actress Globe for her role in 'The King's Speech' -- wore a black lace headpiece and black sunglasses to top off the look;"

The Associated Press: On shootings and politics, Palin has her own rules
The Associated Press: On shootings and politics, Palin has her own rules: "Some saw Palin's video as a sign she's eager to challenge Obama. She twice referred to America as 'exceptional.' That's a favorite word of conservatives who say the president refuses to acknowledge the nation's well-earned prominence."
The Associated Press: On shootings and politics, Palin has her own rules
The Associated Press: On shootings and politics, Palin has her own rules: "'Especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding,' she said, 'journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn.'
The term 'blood libel' raised eyebrows. While the phrase 'has become part of the English parlance to refer to someone being falsely accused,' said Abraham Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League, it is 'fraught with pain in Jewish history.'
The term is associated with centuries-old claims that Jews killed Christian children for rituals. Some Jewish lawmakers felt Palin's comments were especially ill-advised because Giffords is Jewish."

Tom DeLay, former House majority leader, sentenced to three years in prison - CSMonitor.com
Tom DeLay, former House majority leader, sentenced to three years in prison - CSMonitor.com: "DeLay was found guilty of conspiring in 2002 to use his political action committee to send $190,000 in corporate contributions to the Republican National Committee, which then sent the money to candidates for the Texas House. That year, the Republicans gained control of the state legislature for the first time since Reconstruction. That new majority then redrew Texas congressional districts in a way that favored the Republicans. In the next election, 2004, Republicans defeated five Democratic incumbents in the US House.
So even as DeLay contemplates prison, he still takes pride in his political achievements; he insists he did nothing wrong. During his political life, DeLay has always been a bold partisan – his nickname was “The Hammer,” for his ability to enforce party discipline – and not one to shy away from the limelight.
In fall of 2009, DeLay competed in the ninth season of “Dancing with the Stars,” but had to drop out due to an injury. If DeLay winds up behind bars, perhaps he will dust off his dancing shoes and give a few lessons."

Too much TV time may hurt your heart - CNN.com: "Changes in the body caused by sitting may not be the only factor at work. Studies have shown that people eat more unhealthy snacks while they watch TV and are more likely to be exposed to ads for junk food. 'My intuition tells me that it's more likely that it's sitting, but we don't have hard evidence yet to support either of the two explanations,' Stamatakis says."
