The Winner Battle of the Bands is Bluesy "Brighter Side"

CANTON — An audible, collective groan could be heard at The Repository’s 8th Annual Battle of the Bands when emcees Dan Kane and Aron Kitzmiller announced “The Brighter Side” as its first-ever blues band entry.

Those groans turned to screams as about 1,200 fans, mostly Stark County teens, jumped to their feet to cheer on this year’s hands-down winner of the event Saturday night at the Palace Theatre.

Winning over the crowd with his shockingly mature voice and cool, relaxed stage presence was 14-year-old lead singer Jake Friel. He stunned the young audience with his harmonica playing on the original song, “Bad,” as well as their cover of Jimi Hendricks’ “Red House.”

“When we saw the crowd response, it was awesome,” said Friel, who admitted to being very nervous playing for an audience of his peers. “It was so cool. I felt like we were bringing the blues back.”

His mom, Nan Friel, said their usual audience is in the 40-65 age range. She was moved to tears by the crowd reaction and the sight of all the represented schools’ fans on their feet for them.

“What’s really cool is my dad performed at The Palace in 1931, so it’s come full circle,” she said of Jake’s grandfather, a Vaudeville performer.

Jake, she said, has grown up listening to the blues, as has the rest of his band members, who all come from musical families.

Lead guitarist Fuad Farah, drummer David Wilson and bassist Noah Simionides round out the group that represented GlenOak High School.

Farah’s father, Dr. Constantine Farah, serves as their musical director and arranges their songs.

Picking this year’s winner were five local musicians and club promoters: Nick Brewer, Tim Eddings, Nate Monea, Billy Ludwig and Andy Dolson.

Dolson said that while the decision was tough, it was unanimous.

“If I were listening to this band at a club and I hadn’t known they were in high school, they still would have wowed me,” he said.

“They clearly caught the attention of everyone in the room.”

Giving them a run for the money were seven talented bands.

Perry’s Across the Viaduct was the first band on stage. Lead singer Steven Turner charmed the audience with his laugh as he encouraged their cheers. Their choice of cover song, “Animal” by Neon Trees, was ideal for his voice.

Jackson High School’s Line of Defense walked out on stage like they owned it. Seasoned performers, the band’s cover of “Rebel Yell” by Billy Idol was also well-suited to the lead singer Zakk Stayer’s deep, rock star voice.

O.N.E. from Hoover High School featured sweet-voiced Emily Jackson and stand-out lead guitarist Matt Chambers.

Back for a second try was Lake High School’s Sicadia, whose rock version of “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black-eyed Peas, was a fan favorite.

Jackson High School’s “Motion” seemed to have the largest fan base, along with Hoover’s NOCA.

Motion performed “Hey Ya,” another Black-Eyed Peas song, as their cover, while NOCA showed off a true hard rock sound.

Finally, Messy Face from Jackson High School featured talented vocalist Erin Mason, who performed a strong version of Katy Perry’s “Hot and Cold.”

“All the bands were great,” said Dolson, but it was The Brighter Side who stole the show. “There was just something about their stage presence.”

Wisconsin layoffs loom amid budget impasse

(Reuters) - Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker issued layoff warning notices on Friday to unions representing state workers as a battle intensified between Republican and Democratic lawmakers over union bargaining rights that has sparked protests and a national debate.

"If the Senate Democrats come back to Wisconsin, these notices may be able to be rescinded and layoffs avoided," Walker said in a statement. "This action is necessary due to the delay in passage of the budget repair bill."

The warning notices were sent to at least 13 unions including AFSCME, Association of State Prosecutors and Wisconsin Education Association Council. The notes do not represent actual layoffs, but took the war of words between the newly elected governor and state Democrats to a new level.

The number of potential layoffs was not specified, but Walker said this week about 1,500 workers would be affected.

Walker, a Republican who this week projected a budget deficit for Wisconsin of $3.6 billion for the coming two years, has proposed a budget "fix" for the current year ending in June that would eliminate most of the collective bargaining rights for most of the state's 300,000 public employees.

That measure drew more than 70,000 protesters to the capital a week ago the biggest local march since the Vietnam War. It has also become the epicenter of a national debate on union rights.

Walker's bill remains stalled in the Wisconsin Senate where all 14 Democrats fled to neighboring Illinois two weeks ago to deny the measure the quorum it needs to pass in the chamber.

Dave Hansen, one of the 14, issued a statement on Friday saying that while he had believed the two sides were making progress earlier in the week, "it has become increasingly apparent that Governor Walker is not interested in compromise, but instead appears intent on prolonging the impasse."

Behind-the-scenes negotiations have failed to produce a compromise. Just one Democrat is needed for a quorum.

Walker told reporters late on Thursday that "extremist elements" among 14 absent Democrats had blocked progress.

"Just when we think the process is moving forward, we see no action," Walker said. "We're frustrated."

Walker said some of the absent Democrats, who have been threatened with $100-a-day fines and the prospect of being arrested and taken to the Senate if they return to Wisconsin, appear willing to stay away "not only for several more months, but potentially the next two years."

With no action expected on the bill, Walker said he will be forced to send out layoff notices to 1,500 state employees, saving some $30 million.

"The reality is, we shouldn't have to be going down the path of preparing for layoffs." Walker said.

POTENTIAL BACKLASH?

In the Midwest, the traditional "Rust Belt" heartland of the country and home to big unionized manufacturers like the auto and steel industries, there were signs that some Republican budget "hawks" were taking caution from Wisconsin.

A poll by Rasmussen Reports of 800 Wisconsin voters on March 2 found 34 percent strongly approved of Walker's performance as governor, while 48 percent strongly disapproved. Walker was elected with a 52 percent majority last November.

In Ohio, where legislators are considering even more stringent curbs on unions, the Republican leader of the state's House of Representatives decided on Friday to hold at least three weeks of debate on a bill -- a setback for its backers.

Republican Gov. John Kasich had hoped to enact Senate Bill 5 by March 15 when he is scheduled to unveil his two-year budget proposal for fiscal 2012-2013.

The vote in the Ohio Senate on Wednesday was 17 to 16 with six Republicans joining Democrats in voting against.

In Indiana, where 38 Democrats have also fled the state to delay a vote on bills they say would harm workers' rights, Republicans on Friday voted to impose a $250-a-day fine starting on Monday for members who aren't on the House floor.

Protests against the Wisconsin bill included a two-week-long occupation of the state Capitol building.

Walker's budget repair bill increases worker contributions to their pensions and health care and Walker said it provides tools for local governments to cut expenses, reducing the need for layoffs in the current fiscal year.

The group Americans for Prosperity said on Friday they will do a "Stand Against Spending, Stand With Walker" bus tour around Wisconsin on Saturday in support Walker's plan, with a rally planned for Sunday in Madison but not at the Capitol.

Opponents including the AFL-CIO and other unions said they will continue to organize protests at the Capitol on Saturday and Sunday along with smaller events throughout the state.

Apple may be prepping iPad 3 for fall 2011 launch

Reports have emerged of a fall launch of Apple's third-generation iPad in order to match the touchscreen tablet's release schedule with the company's annual iPod releases and the holiday season.

John Gruber of Daring Fireball sparked the first rumors Wednesday when he mentioned that the HP TouchPad may "bump up against the release of the iPad 3" in a post. HP unveiled the webOS-based tablet Wednesday, though the device will not become available until "later in the summer."

After speculation arose that Gruber's comments were based on inside information, he clarified his thoughts as mere guesswork in a subsequent post.

"My gut feeling is that Apple will move the iPad to a September release schedule, alongside the iPods," he wrote. "But they wouldn’t want to wait over a year and a half from the announcement of the original iPad to announce the second one."

Gruber guesses that Apple will release the second-generation iPad "fairly soon," possibly in March with a shipping date in early April. The updated device would be faster, with "more RAM, maybe more storage, thinner and lighter, a front-facing camera." He also believes iOS 5 would be announced in March and ship in June.

"iPad 3, shipping in September, announced at the annual iPod event. Running iOS 5.1, same as the next-generation iPod Touch," predicted Gruber, adding that the release may be more like an iPad 2.5, iPad 2 HD or iPad 2 Pro--"a new higher-end model that sits atop the iPad product family, not a replacement for the iPad 2 models."

Gruber's conjectures were followed by a report from TechCrunch's MG Siegler that lent credence to the speculation, though for different reasons. Siegler cited a "very good" anonymous source that claims Apple is planning a "big fall surprise" related to the iPad 3.

"We don’t have any more concrete information beyond that," said Siegler. "But, as of right now, the plan is apparently to release one iteration of the iPad in the next few weeks. And then blow the doors open with another new version in the fall."

He went on to surmise that a third-generation iPad could have "a retina-like display" or perhaps "another, slightly smaller form factor," though Apple CEO Steve Jobs has downplayed the possibility.

While Apple has yet to formally announce the second-generation iPad, reports of the device have picked up steam as of late. On Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple has begun manufacturing the next-generation tablet. As reported by AppleInsider in January, the iPad 2 is expected to be thinner and lighter, with a faster processor, more memory, a FaceTime-ready camera and an upgraded graphics processor.

New zodiac sign dates - and Ophiuchus ?

What's your sign? The once-familiar cheesy pick up line has recently become a hotly contested topic.

The controversy began after astronomer Parke Kunkle told the Star-Tribune of Minnesota that, due to the moon's gravitational pull, the age-old constellations corresponding to a person's birthday may be off by about a month.

Kunkle's comments set off a firestorm as people wondered if their zodiac signs were changing and astrologers rushed to refute the claim.

As if this wasn't confusing enough, there was also talk about adding a 13th sign to the mix -- Ophiuchus, which would span Nov. 29 - Dec. 17, leaving poor Scorpio with only a tiny, six-day window (Nov. 23 - Nov. 29).

So does this mean that you've been faithfully checking the wrong sign every morning for your horoscope? Not necessarily, according to Cambridge astrologer Joyce Levine.

"Don't worry. Your sign hasn't changed!" Levine said in an interview. "The precession of the equinoxes does not affect Tropical Astrology, which is primarily what we use in the western culture. Tropical Astrology is based on the seasons; Aries, the beginning of spring; Cancer, the beginning of summer; Libra, the beginning of fall, and Capricorn, the beginning of winter."

Levine said that Vedic Astrology, which is favored in the east, does take the precession of equinoxes into account.

For those who determine the zodiac signs by the stars, the new changes would be:

Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16
Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11
Pisces: March 11-April 18
Aries: April 18-May 13
Taurus: May 13-June 21
Gemini: June 21-July 20
Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16
Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30
Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23
Scorpio: Nov. 23-Dec. 17
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20

What do you think? Are you sticking with your current sign? Or are you looking for a switch?

Google CEO Eric Schmidt on Privacy, Outhouses & Proprietary Algorithms

The sensitivity of search string data is suddenly on everyone's mind due to news of the AOL data leak on a research site this week. Search Engine Watch editor Danny Sullivan is set to interview Google CEO Eric Schmidt in the premier event of the Search Engine Strategies show in San Jose. Guess what his first question is? Give us your thoughts on search data privacy - (in so many words) while holding up a copy of the New York Times. Schmidt seemed not to flinch at the question he must have known was coming in this informal conversation format arranged by Sullivan.

The leaked AOL data is actually from Google results, but AOL is clearly the bad guy here, since they leaked the info on search strings of 658,000 of it's members over a three month period and 20 million compromised searches. Sullivan pointed out that the New York Times had been able to trace the somewhat anonymized AOL member names through some very light detective work and found an AOL user whose data was part of the leak. That user was featured in a photograph on the front page and profiled. Sullivan made no connection to Google of that AOL blunder, but asked Schmidt to comment on search privacy and the sensitivity of the data.

Schmidt reminded Sullivan of the recent Department of Justice demand for all search records over a month's time and Google's refusal to give it up to DOJ. He suggested that Google works very hard to protect user data and they clearly do deserve kudos, both for refusing to give up the search data to the DOJ and for their stance on protection of that type of sensitive information. They went to court with the DOJ to take a stand on privacy of search data, rather than meekly turning it over as the other search engines did. That move gained Google some credibility which supports the famed "Do no evil" mantra of the company.

Schmidt recalled several cases of what he called "crazy people" who have been using Google search to plan and carry out all manner of nefarious deeds, from murders to suicide to stalking. He emphasized repeatedly that there is no way to stop bad people from doing bad stuff using search, but that Google is doing all they can to make it a safe environment for users. Schmidt also pointed out how Google makes it easy for users to remove their phone numbers from the Google search results. (Story for another time, but not so easy, and why is it accessible at all?).

Click fraud was next on Sullivans' agenda and he asked how Google was addressing it within the Adwords pay-per-click system. Schmidt steered clear of discussing the court case, calling it a "business negotiation done in the courtroom." He said they we're reluctant to discuss both user and advertiser data, and again, we're doing all we can to address click fraud.

Sullivan graciously backed off of the sensitive topic and moved on to the next news item of the week, the just announced Google partnerships with both MTV and MySpace. The MTV deal will allow Google to sell video ads surrounding clips of hit shows on the network. Early take-up may be only from major advertisers and it is not clear if the video ads will be sold with the automated system used for adwords, since the video ads will clearly need to be vetted for ratings and quality. The MySpace deal means that MySpace will show Adwords ads throughout communities on the social networking site and becomes the sole provider of search to all Fox Interactive Media sites in the deal.

Schmidt took the opportunity to emphasize the value of targeted ads being shown to users in all venues when he pointed to the radio deals, video deals and the standard text ads used by publishers of each of those sources. Sullivan had asked about the value of tracking and metrics for advertisers using Google Analytics, allowing them to do conversion studies and understand the value of their ad spending.

Sullivan used that Adwords conversion stats issue to segue' into a more delicate topic when he asked Schmidt to comment on the value of Adsense to publishers, adding a caveat to that saying that since Adsense was so valuable to publishers, that it had lead to huge amounts of junk on the web from junky publishers filling web site pages with garbage in order to place the contextual ads across loads of informational, but mostly junky sites. He suggested those sites clog up search results and produce little value for users other than to click on ads. Schmidt replied simply, "These are the problems of success." He went on to explain that Adsense has far exceeded expectations seen for it.

Schmidt discussed the proprietary Google search algorithm and how carefully it was guarded within the company, claiming that it was so closely held that "I have chosen not to know it." That statement had many SEO's in the audience groaning with some sort of envy of Schmidt being in a position to know that tightly secured secret algorithm and chosing NOT to know about it. A kind of stunned silence was palpable among many in the room, although that statement must have gone right over the heads of the mainstream press in the room.

Sullivan asked about copyright issues within the "Book Search" and other uses of print and online text within Google searches. Schmidt commented that he had learned how fluid and open to interpretation copyright law was, but that their own legal staff had determined that they were completely within legal limits with book search and "Fair Use" rules within copyright laws. He stated flatly that Google "Must respect copyright" and emphasized their commitment to do so, while claiming that book search was within legal limits.

"Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." That statement comes from the Google corporate info page and is well known and often quoted. Sullivan moved on to a lighter note with a reference to the Visa slogan adapted to Google, saying, "Google, We're everywhere you want to be!" (Which coincidentally turns up a ZDnet forum post on Google instead of Visa's catchphrase, as number one search result at Google.) Sullivan noted that with all the Google products coming online, such as Gmail, search, spreadsheets, calendar, personalized home page, radio ads, video ads, text ads, shopping search, Google Maps, etc., that "You might as well give me the Google implant and be done with it!

While that got a good laugh from the audience and even from Schmidt, it did cause some reflection from audience members in my quick glance around to see heads tilting to the side in contemplation of the quip.

Sullivan wrapped it up by asking some lighter questions in rapid fire fashion for quick responses from Schmidt, but one question got a great response from the Google CEO when Sullivan asked, "How often do you personally search?" Schmidt quickly replied that he routinely searches between 50 and 100 times a day and that he uses searches to inform his business decisions.

Schmidt then told the audience that he had been asked by someone once "Did you know that there are more outhouses than Tivo's?" To which Schmidt had some illuminating expanded comments. He later did some of his own searching to find that the question was in fact true previously, but that the trend had reversed and that now there are more Tivo's. He even had percentages to back it up.

That showed that he very much believes in search and uses it himself to, as he said, inform business decisions. Whether that means he is investing in Tivo or getting rid of outhouses is up for debate, but was an interesting tidbit that may be thrown around the press from the SES show coverage (I'm sure Schmidt will hope it goes no further than that).

Another Sullivan question, "What is your favorite Google tool?" to which Schmidt replied, "My favorite is the search tool, but beyond that, it is the 'Certified by Google' tool," referring to what has been called Gbuy by commentators. That allowed a bit of expansion by Schmidt on the new tool, which was clearly something he wanted to get a plug in for as a new service. Schmidt is a likable guy and everyone allowed him the plug as Google needs a bit of positive press due to the bad PR they are currently getting on "Certified by Google" with the eBay policy of not supporting the service.

Similar Planet Earth in the Alpha Centauri B

Throughout the decade, more than 270 have been found extrasolar planet in the party environment. Earth-like planet that is in the zone habitasi still quite far from the threshold penemuannya. But it is not impossible. Planet rock is similar to Earth may be one of the stars mengorbit neighbors we can even detect using techniques that already have at this time. This is the latest research results from astronom at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Stars neighbors? Which yah? The latest research conducted by Javiera Guedes at the USCS system of three stars Alpha Centauri, the stars the most popular destination for dijadkan space-exploration in science fiction. Simulation of the formation of the planet Javiera indicate if the planet might mean that stars form in the Alpha Centauri B and mengorbit in the zone habitasinya. Habitasi zone or zones is a reasonable habitation in the area around the stars that still allows the existence of liquid water in the planet's surface. And the planet when there are can be observed with the use of telescopes.

According to Gregory Laughlin, inventor ekstrasolar some systems the planet, there are several factors that make Alpha Centauri B a good candidate for the planet's mean. One factor is the use of the Doppler effect techniques Alpha Centauri B and the position where the Alpha Centauri B kecerlangan provide opportunities for the observation made in a long period of time each year from the southern sky. The effects Doppler method is a method of extrasolar planet pendeteksian have successfully reveal the existence of extrasolar planet 228. This method measures the shift in star light to detect the very small oscillation caused by the gravitation pull of the planet mengorbitnya.

To detect a small rocky planet Earth seukuran is a challenge, because the wobble in the stars he sebabkan mother is very small. Estimated to take 5 years to observe the existence of Earth-like planet around Alpha Centauri B. Observation akan led by Debra Fischer of San Francisco State University with the 15 meter telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile hope they will be able to find a planet such as the mean of the simulation.

To study the formation of the planet in the Alpha Centauri B, the team will be able to repeat the simulation to see the evolution of the system for every 200 million years old. Because there are differences in initial conditions, each simulation system will result in the formation of a different planet. From each of the cases tried, a system with multiple planet will have evolved with at least 1 Earth-sized planet. And from most of the experiments, have produced a planet in orbit zone habitasi stars.

Solar system rebound, dinosaurs also Extinct

Earth moving massanya encircle the center which is located near the Sun. And Sun together with the entire system is also moving Tata Surya beset central galaxy. Movement of sun in the Milky Way, regularly send the comet appeared to slide into the interior of the Tata Surya. As a result, going large-scale collision that destroy life on Earth.

That is the latest research results generated by modeling the latest in Cardiff Center for Astrobiology. In modeling the movement of the simulation is done and found that Surya geraknya appeared to bounce up and down along the field galaxy. When passing through the meeting of the galaxy field, gravutasi style of the area around the cloud of dust and gas giant would change the comet's track. Finally, comet-comet that is tercebur into Tata Surya, and some of them experienced collision with earth.

Estimated, Tata Surya will move through the field galaxy every 35 - 45 million years and increases the likelihood of a collision with a comet. Evidence from craters on the earth also showed that the Earth is suffering in the range of collision 36 million years ago. Thus there can be kesesuain gained from the fact that events in the earth with the results of the modeling for the movement of Surya in the Milky Way.

Period of collision that occurred on Earth also coincided with the occurrence of mass destruction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago. And if we look at the galaxy's position at this time, so at this time we are already quite close to the same period.

If we go back to 65 million years ago, the effect can be the reflection in the galaxy is a nightmare for the dinosaurs, but it turns out that the incident would be the beginning of the distribution of new life. Estimated, the collision-release debris debris containing micro-organisms to the sky and in the entire universe.

Three New Same Size Planet Jupiter Found

Since the first found, extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, or a planet outside the solar hot topic is discussed anywhere and become one of the foremost topics in science. This is strengthened when the type of planet Earth is found in the Gliese 581.

This time, 3 exoplanet found by team members Wide Area Search fot Planets (Wasp) and announced in the Extrasolar Planet international conference held in Suzhou, China. Planet-planet has found that Jupiter is a planet seukuran and given the name-3 Wasp, Wasp and Wasp-4-5. Third planet found with the transit method, using super camera in South Africa and the Canary Island of constantly monitor millions of stars in the sky.
The findings to be interesting because this team at this time that this is the only team who found the planet with the method of transit to the northern and southern sky. Wasp and Wasp-4-5 is the first planet found in both South Africa and is also a planet transit light most of the sky in the south. While Wasp-3 found in the sky using a camera SuperWASP North in Canary islands.

The three are all sized planet Jupiter but mengorbit their parent stars in a very close distance. Even a year will be completed less than 2 days. Time there will not go very fast?

Now, with the conditions very close to the parent star, the surface of the planet-the planet will be more than 2000 degrees Celsius, consequences will be very difficult to have life there. But however the discovery of the planet Jupiter bermassa also gave the idea that Earth-sized planet also are waiting to be found, provided that technology is possible.

Planet X 2012 Calamity Not On Planet Nibiru

The outside of the Tata Surya still have a lot of planet-planet minor who has not been found. Planet X since the search began in the early 20th century, the planet will likely hipotetis that mengorbit sun behind the Kuiper belt have been burning Calamity theories and speculation that Planet X is actually the brother of our Sun has been "lost." But, why should we be concerned ahead Planet X / Theory of Resurrection this? Planet X is not only an object hipotetis unknown?

Theories is also encouraged with the prediction of the tribe of Maya world will come in the year 2012 (Mayan Prophecy) and the mystical story of the Sumerian Nibiru Planet, and the heat now as the "prediction of Resurrection" 21 December 2012. However, evidence that is used for astronomical theories is really melenceng.



On June 18 yesterday, Japanese researchers announced news that their theoretical search for a large mass outside the Tata Surya we produce results. From their calculations, it is possible that there is a planet slightly larger than an object Plutoid or dwarf planet, but certainly smaller than Earth, the Sun mengorbit the distance of more than 100 SA. But, before we terhanyut on this discovery, this is not the planet Nibiru, and the evidence is not of this world will end in 2012. These findings are new and is a very interesting development in the search-planet minor planet in the Kuiper belt back.

In theoretical simulation, two Japanese researchers have concluded that the outermost part of the Tata Surya our planet that may have not yet been found. Patryk Lykawa and Tadashi Mukai of Kobe University have published their paper in the Astrophysical Journal. Paper describes their minor planet believe that they interact with the Kuiper belt is the mysterious.

Kuiper belt region occupies a very knowledgeable in our Tata Surya, approximately 30-50 SA from Sun, and contains a large number of objects rock and metal. The object is known to be the largest dwarf planet (Plutoid) Eris. Has long been known Kuiper belt has a strange characteristic, which may indicate the existence of an object (planet) mengorbit a large sun behind the Kuiper belt. One of the karakterikstik is called the "Kuiper Cliff" Kuiper cliff, or that there is a distance on the SA 50. This is the end of the Kuiper belt is suddenly, and very few of Kuiper belt objects have been observed can be behind this point. This chasm can not be linked to the orbital resonance with the planet-planet masif as Neptunus, and does not appear to be an error occurred (error) observation. Many experts believe that the astronomical end abruptly in the Kuiper belt population can be caused by a planet that has not been found, which may be as much as Earth. The object of this is believed to Lykawka and Mukai, and take into account their existence.

The researchers predicted Japan is a large object, a 30-70% mass massanya Earth, Sun mengorbit on the distance of 100-200 SA. Objects may also help explain why some objects and the Kuiper belt Trans-Neptunian object (TNO) has some of the odd orbital characteristics, such as Sedna.

Found since Pluto in 1930, the astronom other objects have been looking for a more masif, which can explain the interference observed in the orbital orbit Uranus and Neptunus. This is known as the "Search Planet X," which meant literally as a "search the planet that has not been identified." In the 1980s this orbital interference is treated as an error (error) observation. Therefore, the scientific search will be Planet X today is the search for Kuiper belt objects are large, or minor planet search. Although Planet X may not be the mass of Earth, the researchers will still remain interested to find objects Kuiper others, which may seukuran Plutoid, may also be slightly larger, but not too large.

"The interesting thing for me is the suggestion of the kinds of very interesting objects that may yet await discovery in the outer solar system. We are still scratching the edges of that region of the solar system, and I expect many surprises await us with the future deeper surveys. "- Mark Sykes, Director of the Planetary Science Institute (PSI) in Arizona.

Planet X is not scary
So, from where comes this Nibiru? In the year 1976, a controversial book entitled The Twelfth Planet or Planet Both are written by teens Zecharian Sitchin. Sitchin has been to translate the writings of the ancient Sumerian wedge-shaped (writing the most ancient known). The note was 6000 this year revealed that the alien race known as the Anunnaki from the planet called Nibiru, landed on Earth. Concise stories, Anunnaki Primate modifying genes in the Earth to create homo sapiens as their slaves.

When the Anunnaki left Earth, they let us rule this Earth until the time they return later. All this may appear a little fanciful, and perhaps also a little too detailed when considering all of this is the literal translation of any posts from the ancient age of 6000 years. Sitchin this work have been ignored by the scientific community as method of interpretation are considered imaginative. However, many also heard that Sitchin, Nibiru, and believes that (with a very orbitnya in girth eksentrik Sun) will be back, probably in the year 2012 for all the destruction and terror, terror in this Earth. From "discovery" astronomical doubts that this is hypothetical of Resurrection 2012 Planet X is based. Then, how Planet X is considered as a manifestation of Nibiru?

Then there are the "brown dwarf discovery outside Tata Surya us" from the IRAS in 1984 and the "NASA announcement will bermassa 4-8 mass planet Earth is in the Earth" in the year 1933. The hypothetical support of Resurrection is dependent on the discovery of celestial, and as proof that Nibiru is Planet X which has long sought the astronom during this century. Not only that, by manipulating the facts about scientific research, they "prove" that Nibiru we're the (Earth), and in the year 2012, this object will enter masif part in the Tata Surya us, cause interference gravity.

Pendefinisian in the most pure, Planet X is a planet that has not been known, which may theoretically mengorbit Sun far behind the Kuiper belt. If the discovery of a few days ago that eventually leads to the observation on a planet or Plutoid, this will be a remarkable discovery that helps us understand the evolution and characteristics of the outer mysteriously Tata Surya us.
