Studies be damn...I have had patients tell me of their light and tunnel.

In fact, I have been chastised by them because I did not allow them to die.

This weekend, Venus visits a popular star cluster called the Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters. In this image, taken from Yampa, Colorado on March 31 by Jimmy Westlake, brilliant Venus is underneath the cluster. The best is yet to come.

Westlake, from Steamboat Springs, used a digital camera and a 300mm lens, exposing the image for 90 seconds.

The seven stars of the Pleiades were all born about the same time, roughly 100 million years ago (our Sun is 4.6 billion years old). Every 8 years, Venus slides through the cluster as seen from our vantagepoint.

You can't miss Venus, which is brighter than all stars and planets. It's high in the western sky just after sunset. The Pleiades, tougher to spot, are sometimes mistaken for the Little Dipper because of the shape they form. You'll need fairly dark skies away from city lights to enjoy the display.

On Friday evening, Venus enters the Pleiades, just below the dipper's bowl, according to NASA. On Saturday, Venus will be higher, amid the stars in the dipper's handle. On Sunday, April 4th, Venus exits the cluster.

On Friday and Saturday, Venus will be extremely close -- less than 1 degree in astronomers terms -- from the brightest Pleiad, 3rd-magnitude Alcyone, with the brilliant light from Venus almost overwhelming it.

"As a matter of fact, you may need binoculars to properly see the Pleiades on these nights, whereas several nights before and after, the separation from Venus is enough to allow the star cluster to stand out," says Joe Rao, SPACE.com's Night Sky columnist.

What a kook! http://www.nbc4.com/news/3028550/detail.html Senator's Wife Charged With Assault Sources: Dispute Started With Garden Mulch POSTED: 5:28 pm EDT April 21, 2004 UPDATED: 6:16 pm EDT April 21, 2004 WASHINGTON -- The wife of a U.S. senator is in trouble with the law. Wanda Baucus is the wife of Democratic Sen. Max Baucus of Montana. She is accused of assaulting a woman Tuesday at Johnson's Garden Center on Van Ness Street, Northwest. Mrs. Baucus was released Wednesday afternoon after an appearance in D.C. Superior Court. She was officially charged with assault in court. The incident happened in the parking lot of the garden center. Sources told News4 that Mrs. Baucus was upset because another customer was getting help with mulch ahead of her. Sources told News4's Pat Collins that Mrs. Baucus dropped a bag of mulch under the woman's car, then struck the woman in the body and face a number of times. Collins reported that Mrs. Baucus drove from the scene, and returned a while later with her husband. That is when she talked to police about the incident. A warrant for Mrs. Baucus was issued Wednesday and she was booked at the 2nd District police headquarters. From there, she was taken to D.C. Superior Court. The judge released her on her personal recognizance on the condition that she stays away from the victim and away from the garden center. The senator released a statement Wednesday, saying, "There was a situation involving Wanda last night. We are trying to sort it out, going through proper channels. I stand by her 110 percent, and she has my full support."

Her husband needs to announce he will spank her - not "she has 110% of my support"
