One of the key projects during the imminent International Year of Astronomy is the Cosmic Diary. Perhaps inspired by Quantum Diaries during the World Year of Physics in 2005, Cosmic Diary plans to give an insight into the lives of over 50 astronomers, educators and students from all over the world. Not only will these appear in blog form throughout the year but extracts will be used to make both a book and a documentary during 2009. The blogs will officially begin on 1st January 2009.

Luckily, the citizens of Milwaukee have made it likely that any businesses still in that fair city will be fleeing north [2] .. and right into my lap. The Milwaukee Paid Sick Leave Ini

For those rightfully wondering, Right Field Bleachers is in fact still an active Brewers fan site - with writers even! To prove it, here’s a post. News: - The recently re-upped Mike Cameron is drawing some interest from the Yankees: The popular speculation on a package is Melky Cabrera and Ian Kennedy. It seems like that’s something the Yankees wouldn’t want to do, and – with the return – too much of a gamble for Milwaukee, aside from obtaining two once promising players with the chance of
