Cleaning out the inbox-Non-Sports Edition!

We go back to the inbox for some cleaning of the non-sports items...

We start with a proposal for NASA to re-visit the outer gas/ice planets in Uranus and Neptune,
While Jupiter and Saturn have been visited with various missions,Uranus and Neptune have not been targeted since their first and only mission in Voyager 2.
It would not launch for another ten years,if approved,but between the planets (Uranus is the only planet to turn on its side) and moons (Neptune's Triton has nitrogen plumes blowing into the air),there is more than enough to be of interest for years...

The New York Times discusses just what NASA's next priority in exploration should be.
Ranging from a moon return to more Mars time to visits to the outer planets among more visits to other garden spots,this article covers just about any possible candidate and what a trip there would bring to the table of science...

We just passed the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and its effect on the Louisiana/Mississippi area may never be truly able to be measured statistically or in the amount of damage to an area's psyche.
Wright Thompson is the best writer (in my opinion) that ESPN the magazine has and he being from the southern U.S has a special understanding of the area,which comes across when you read his work.
Thompson writes a long and comprehensive article that covers about everything you could think of on the topic and it is tremendously interesting....

I can't say that I was overly excited about the return of "Coach",although I was a longtime fan of the original show,but NBC decided to pull the plug before the show was even aired.
The premise didn't seem all that interesting and sometimes leaving things as they are is best for everyone involved....

I may be back later with a look at the Browns surprising release of Phil Taylor and why his cut ends what could be the worst trade in Browns history....
