HUMANS are not alone in struggling to stay slim. Some planets go through a "fat" stage that swells their
waistlines temporarily, which possibly explains why some gas giants are unexpectedly large.
"Astronomers have power leveling found a lot of planets whose
sizes cannot be explained by standard theory," says Laurent Ibgui of Princeton University. The difference
between predicted and measured widths of so-called "hot Jupiters" can be 30 per cent or more.
Previously, astronomers assumed that, because cold gas takes up less volume than hot gas, hot Jupiters would
shrink as they lost their initial heat.

Now a computer simulation by Ibgui suggests this effect can be temporarily halted in hot Jupiters that begin
life in highly elliptical orbits. These planets are alternately squeezed and stretched as they circle their
stars, resulting in "tidal heating" that warms the gas inside the planet. This counteracts the cooling
effect, inflating the planet - an effect that can last for a billion years or more. Eventually, though, the
planet's orbit will become more circular, and the hot Jupiter resumes shrinking. Ibgui presented the research
at an American Astronomical Society meeting in Pasadena, California, last week.

The model doesn't quite explain the superpuffy appearance of all hot Jupiters, says Jonathan Fortney of the
University of California, Santa Cruz. "It requires these planets to start their lives on very eccentric
orbits, which is possible, but not currently the preferred scenario."

Franken's Senate tenure no laughing matter
WASHINGTON — All joking aside, Al Franken is about to face his toughest crowd yet.As the Minnesota Democrat and former comedian takes his seat in the Senate this week after an eight-month election battle, he follows a long line of celebrities who have had to put their fame in check to serve as humble, freshman members of Congress.In a town full of strong egos and intense media scrutiny, the transition for entertainers, athletes and other stars can be a bit dicey, experts say."You can have any mistakes or non-mistakes magnified," said Norman Ornstein, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and a friend of Franken's. On the plus side: "In the cacophony that we have out there ... getting positive attention is always difficult, and any leverage that you have helps."Before he came into politics, Franken gained fame as a performer and writer on Saturday Night Live and a best-selling author. His best-known character on the show was Stuart Smalley, a mock self-help talk show host who coined the phrase, "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me."FIND MORE STORIES IN: New York | Hillary Rodham Clinton | Bill Clinton | Washington Redskins | New York Knicks | New Orleans Saints | Norm Coleman | Al Franken | Bill Bradley | John Hall | Kenneth Starr | Saturday Night Live | Steve Largent | Heath Shuler | American Enterprise Institute | Norman J. Ornstein Plenty of celebrities have preceded Franken buy wow gold through the Capitol's ornate halls, including Fred Grandy, also known as Gopher on The Love Boat, a Republican who served four terms in the House from Iowa and Bill Bradley, the three-term New Jersey Senate Democrat who in the 1970s helped carry the Knicks to two NBA championships.Rep. John Hall, D-N.Y., was previously a front man for the band Orleans, whose 1976 hit Still the One has played on the air 5 million times, according to music licensing group BMI.Hall said his stage life has helped him to communicate his cheap wow gold policy ideas, but he warned Franken against relying too heavily on skills learned in a past job."I was told early on, when I was tempted to sing a line or two of a song when I got on the floor, that the last guy that did that ... lost his election," Hall said, adding that "it's a jinx to sing on the floor of the House."Hall was referring to Mike Pappas, a world of warcraft gold former Republican congressman from New Jersey. Pappas sang "Twinkle, Twinkle Kenneth Starr," in honor of the independent prosecutor who investigated President Clinton, and lost his re-election bid in 1998 after his opponent used wow goldthe musical tribute against him.

Probably it is because that Michael Jordan started his rookie season in them. There are new designs of the Air Jordan shoe released each year since it was first introduced in 1985.So if you want to classify the Air Jordan line, you should classify it by release year and model: Originals (OG), Retros, Retro-pluses (Retro+).Player Exclusive (PE) and Samples.
