Egypt?s Unfinished Business and a Lesson For the Arab Revolution
http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/bw_0zUazyrc/egypt_s_unfinished_business_and_a_lesson_for_the_arab_revolution
It has become apparent that all of our most cynical readings of the situation in Egypt, since the supposed ouster of Hosni Mubarak, are being proved true by the continued oppression, and disenfranchisement, of the Egyptian people at the hands of the Military government. The aggressive midnight assault by police and military forces, to clear peaceful protesters from Tahrir Square, was an all too familiar reminder of the regime?s brutal tactics before Mubarak assigned them to their new post as governmental figureheads.

APOD: 2011 April 11 - Otherworldly Planet Rise
http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/kT5rNculZEg/apod_2011_april_11_otherworldly_planet_rise
Explanation: What would a sunrise look like on another world? So far, humanity has only recorded sunrises on Mars and Earth, but it is fun to wonder what they would look like on planets known and yet unknown. Planets far from their parent star would record the rise of an unusually bright point of light rather than a round orb. Although this might appear to be what is pictured above, the careful combination of long exposures and creative lighting is actually based on Venus-rise from planet Earth a few weeks ago, captured through Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park, Utah, USA. Picturesque buttes and mesas dot the background landscape. The orange sky is created by air scattering and dust, but is likely reminiscent of dusty skyscapes on Mars. Sunrise was set to occur a few minutes hence, and did indeed involve a round orb.
