NBA weekend, climate change and about that rock that hit Russia

Bunch of issues in the news: A meteroite hit Russia, ironically on the same day that a much bigger piece of rock missed the earth by less than 20,000 miles. I am running on my computer a program to help track asteroids in outer space, by their shape and spin, called Asteroid...

Illegal conviction for investigating police wrongdoing
