The Spirit and Opportunity rovers have each entered a new stage of exploration on Mars.

 

For Spirit, the robot has pulled up at the base of the Columbia Hills, following a record-setting trek across the landscape of Gusev Crater. Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet at Meridiani Planum, the Opportunity rover is studying science-rich targets within the sloping walls of the large impact crater dubbed Endurance.

 

Both Spirit and Opportunity are in good health. Engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California -- home base for rover mission control -- are now plotting strategies to have the machines . . .

Third?and most importantly?his paintings involve unflattering portrayals of George Bush (Clinton, too, but that doesn't seem to be an issue).

 

The accompanying typewritten notes apparently contained what were referred to as "political rants" about money...

Nice work with the chart, Orvack. Yeah, XAU had a doji yesterday...so with a gap up at the open...that should make it a "half-way" gap until further notice, so we can measure the move...
