Welcome to the Grand Canyon Panorama Project. Want to dispense with the chatter and dive right in?  Just click on the Enter button above and into the project you go, landing at whatever panorama is being displayed at that moment. Want to explore a bit first and then dive into the project at some specific location? Then click on the Gateway button in the menu bar above, wander through the gateway to find some place you like, and then click the Enter button on the page to enter the project at the location of your choice. Or if you want to learn a bit more about the project first before diving in, then view the introduction video in our How To section or read on.The project, at its core, is a collection of over 700 interactive, full 360 degree panoramas from throughout the whole of the Grand Canyon. But it is much more. With interactive maps and thousands of links among the panoramas, the project allows you to explore every corner of the canyon.

Pluto’s Blue Sky: Pluto’s haze layer shows its blue color in this picture taken by the New Horizons Ralph/Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC). The high-altitude haze is thought to be similar in nature to that seen at Saturn’s moon Titan. The source of both hazes likely involves sunlight-initiated chemical reactions of nitrogen and methane, leading to relatively small, soot-like particles (called tholins) that grow as they settle toward the surface. This image was generated by software that combines information from blue, red and near-infrared images to replicate the color a human eye would perceive as closely as possible.

Pediatrician Says kids need it to compete academically
 
Jon Rappoport exposed in 2012 a shameful practice of psychiatrists in the name of ‘social justice.’ With the guise of improving academic achievement, doctors like Dr. Michael Anderson are prescribing drugs like Adderall to children with self-admitted, ‘made-up’ ADHD diagnoses.
 
Dr. Anderson is sorely mistaken in his judgment, and likely makes a significant bonus for prescribing this drug from its maker, Shire, who recently had to pay $56.5 million for claiming it could ‘normalize’ children with ADHD. If your child has been prescribed this drug so he can cope academically in school, I urge you to look instead to supplementing his or her diet with good nutritive foods.

Soon "I read it for the articles" will be more believable.


The iconic men's magazine Playboy says it is planning to drop fully nude female photography from its pages.


In a letter to readers, the magazine predicted that everyone would be asking why, so it answered, "Playboy has been a friend to nudity, and nudity has been a friend to Playboy, for decades. The short answer is: times change."


Like so many other magazines, Playboy is reacting to the Internet revolution. In Playboy's case, it is about the ubiquity of online pornography.


"You're now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free. It's just passé at this juncture," Playboy's chief executive Scott Flanders told The New York Times, which first reported the news on Monday night.
