The moon
might
be
flowing with much more water than
we thought,
thanks to ancient volcanic deposits,
a new study shows.
Using satellite data,
scientists from Brown University
studied layers of rock on the moon
that likely formed
from large volcanic
eruptions,
called lunar pyroclastic deposits.
The magma created by these eruptions
has been carried to the moon's surface
from very deep within its interior,
the study
showed.
(...)
And it gets weirder.
If there's water
in the moon's mantle,
that suggests that the water
was delivered to
the moon
very early in its formation,
before it fully solidified,
the study's lead author,
Ralph Milliken told Space.com.
Because the magma originally comes
from deep within the lunar interior,
Milliken explains,
"the deep interior of the
moon must also contain
water."

My 5-year-old was complaining of
stomach pain,
and I was worried and had
questions.
I asked her how bad the pain was
and where it hurt
and whether it was getting worse.
Being a kindergartner,
she couldn't answer my anxious
questions
with much clarity.
I was worried about appendicitis.
Maybe I'd been conditioned
by my early devotion to the
children's book Madeline
and her sudden, urgent crisis in
the middle of the night.
Isn't appendicitis what all
parents worry about
when a child complains of stomach
pain?

Under DeVos,
Here's How

Despite the objections of Senate Democrats, teachers unions and others, school
choice activist and billionaire Republican donor Betsy DeVos passed a committee
vote to be secretary of education. The nomination now moves to the full Senate.

A key Senate committee voted Tuesday to approve the nomination of Betsy DeVos, a
school choice activist and billionaire Republican donor, to be secretary of
education, despite the fierce objections of Senate Democrats, teachers unions
and others. There's much speculation as to exactly how she might carry out
President Trump's stated priority of increasing school choice.
A significant clue comes from the American Federation for Children, the
advocacy organization DeVos chaired until she was nominated. AFC supports both
publicly funded charter schools and even more so, "private school choice" —
publicly sponsored programs that give families money to spend on tuition at
private schools.

Madeleine
McCann case
should be
reopened, says Met
Police release age-enhanced image
of what
missing girl might look like now,
suggesting evidence that she might be
still alive

Scotland
Yard is calling for the investigation into Madeleine McCann's disappearance to
be reopened, as detectives revealed there is evidence to suggest
she
might be alive.
Senior detectives within the Metropolitan police have been reviewing the
Portuguese inquiry into the girl's disappearance for a year. On Wednesday – as
the fifth anniversary of her disappearance approaches – police released an
age-enhanced image of what she might look like now.
Madeleine, whose ninth birthday is on 12 May, disappeared from a Portuguese
resort on 3 May 2007.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood said he believed she was abducted by a
stranger, adding that there were 195 "investigative opportunities".
Redwood said he "genuinely" believed Madeleine could be alive, though the team is following an equal line of
inquiry
that she might now be
dead.
The officer is leading a team of 37 detectives dedicated solely to carrying out
an active investigative review of all the evidence in the case.
They are sifting through 40,000 pieces of material, and within them Redwood said
officers have identified 195 historic investigative opportunities.
He said the team was developing new information about what happened to Madeleine
five years ago, when she disappeared from her parents' holiday villa in Praia de
Luz.
"We are currently developing material which we believe represents genuine new
information," said Redwood.
He said officers had carried out a forensic analysis of the timeline of events,
and had identified opportunities when the child could have been taken in a
criminal act.
Dismissing conspiracy theories about Madeleine's parents' involvement, Redwood
said he believed the girl's disappearance was the result of "a criminal act by a
stranger".
He appealed directly to anyone who might know where Madeleine was to contact the
police.
The Met team is working with a Portuguese review team in Oporto, which is
separate from the original inquiry and, said Redwood, was as committed as
Scotland Yard to getting to the bottom of what happened to Madeleine.
"The Metropolitan police service wants the investigation reopened," he said. But
he added that the decision had to be made by the Portuguese.
The Yard team is passing its information directly to the Portuguese review team.
Redwood has visited Portugal seven times in the past year.
The review was set up last year on the fourth anniversary of the child's
disappearance after Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, appealed to the
prime minister, David Cameron, for Scotland Yard to look at the case.
Redwood said: "We have approached the material with a completely open mind. We
have sought to put Madeleine McCann at the heart of everything we do."
Madeleine McCann case should be reopened, says Met,
