Gravity theory dispenses with dark matter

http://www.newscientistspace.com/article.ns?id=dn8631

A modified theory of gravity that incorporates quantum effects can explain a trio of puzzling astronomical observations – including the wayward motion of the Pioneer spacecraft in our solar system, new studies claim.

The work appears to rule out the need to invoke dark matter or another alternative gravity theory called MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics). But other experts caution it has yet to pass the most crucial test – how to account for the afterglow of the big bang.

I don't think a theory that requires gravity force carriers - i.e. gravitons - is going to work out.

Stewart Again Discusses Possible Trek XI

Patrick Stewart (Picard) reiterated that he believed there was a lot of interest in an eleventh Star Trek feature film with the Next Generation cast and other television characters, adding that he hoped William Shatner (Kirk) might appear in such a film.

Speaking to ITV's This Morning (via TrekWeb, Stewart promoted his new ITV series Eleventh Hour and upcoming film X-Men 3. He also said there was "great interest" in reuniting the TNG cast one more time.

"It has been raised," Stewart said of the question of another Star Trek movie with him involved. "Apparently there's interest in bringing The Next Generation cast together with actors from different Star Trek series." Might that include Captain Kirk? "I would love that. I'm very fond of William Shatner," Stewart said.

At the moment, explained Stewart, he has just finished a run in his one-man show A Christmas Carol. "I'm now looking forward to a year in Warwickshire, Stratford upon Avon, being a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company for a whole season of plays," he said. "That was a huge part of my early career, and it meant so much to me. One of the reasons I became an actor was to do that kind of work, I didn't become an actor to work in film or television."

As for Eleventh Hour, The Patrick Stewart Network has posted details of the series' second episode and a small photo. The second of the four parts of Eleventh Hour will premiere on ITV1 on January 26th and focuses on a mysterious lethal virus which threatens to cause a global pandemic.

51 percent say they definitely won't vote for Clinton (D-N.Y.) in 2008

CNNGALLUP SHOCK POLL: ONLY 16% FIRM ON HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT
Wed Jan 25 2006 10:50:26 ET

Most voters now say there's no way they'd vote for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton if she runs for president in 2008 - while just 16 percent are firmly in her camp, a stunning new poll shows.

CNNGALLUP found that 51 percent say they definitely won't vote for Clinton (D-N.Y.) in 2008, another 32 percent might consider it, and only 16 percent vow to back her. That means committed anti-Hillary voters outnumber pro-Hillary voters by 3-1. The poll suggests she can forget about crossover votes - 90 percent of Republicans and 75 percent of conservatives say there's no way they'd back her.

Meanwhile, 46% said they would oppose Secretary of State Rice if she ran for President - a step Rice has repeatedly said she won't take.
