What causes the black dots on dunes on Mars? As spring dawns on the Northern Hemisphere of Mars, dunes of sand near the poles begin to defrost. Thinner regions of ice typically thaw first revealing sand whose darkness soaks in sunlight and accelerates the thaw. By summer, the spots will have expanded to encompass the entire dunes that will then be completely thawed and dark. The carbon dioxide and water ice actually sublime in the thin atmosphere directly to gas. Some images shows a field of spotted polar dunes spanning about 3 kilometers near the Martian North Pole. Meanwhile, in the Southern Hemisphere of Mars, the Earth-sent robot Martian rovers will try to survive through Martian winter..

"Fixing America" describes the dark side of capitalism, "corporate personhood," lobbyists, the WTO, and the myth of a free press. If "we the people" fail to grasp the challenge these pose to our way of life, we can say goodbye to "liberty, and the pursuit of goodbye happiness," and hello to life under fascism. Read the "Fixing America," and shout "I'm not going to take it anymore."

"During my lifetime I have known 33 Nobel laureates and three Secretaries General of the UN. None of them, in terms of courage and conviction, had anything on John Buchanan. In 'Fixing America,' he demonstrates the kind of vision that can change the U.S. and the world for the better. None of the important issues he raises are being discussed by either political party during this Presidential election year."
