IS THERE A PATTERN...

TO OUR UNIVERSE?



That what the astronomers conducting the Sloan III project hope to discover. More expansive than it predecessors, Sloan I & Sloan II, it will map the sky, in 3 dimensions, for about 8 billion light years out from earth. A little more than half of our 'verse.

There is one city in America where if anything can go wrong, it will. A city so rife with corruption that the worst stories out of Boston, New York, Chicago, et al, pale in comparison. A city that survives day-to-day with the threat of being drowned. A city that a vast portion of it should have been written off after Katrina.

Will Osama finally get the access to nukes he has strived for the past few decades? Is the feces finally going to impact the ocillating wind movement device in a gigantic way?
