Sunday Morning Mashup of FACE THE NATION:
HOWARD WOLFSON
May 25, 2008
Howard Wolfson Responds to the Obama Campaign's initial overhyping of Clinton's RFK comments...
"I think that what the Obama campaign did on Friday was unfortunate. I think it was unfortunate to attack Senator Clinton's remarks without knowing fully what she had said. That's not what Senator Obama's campaign is doing today. We have a different set of remarks from David Axelrod this morning, on Sunday, than we saw from the Obama campaign on Friday. I think that's where are today, that's a good place to be. I think both campaigns are going to move forward with the twin goals of victory and unity in mind, but there's no question that it was unfortunate, and unnecessary, and in my opinion, inflammatory for the Obama Campaign to attack Senator Clinton on Friday for these remarks without, obviously, knowing the full facts or context."

Sunday Morning Mashup of ABC THIS WEEK:
DAVID AXELROD
May 25, 2008
David Axelrod Responds to McCain's criticism
of Obama's experience...
"And, you know, all the kind of schoolyard taunts and little barbs that you see in campaigns are really meaningless when you consider the struggles that people are going through today. They want real answers, they want new leadership, they want energy, they want direction, a new direction, and Senator Obama offers that."

This is a composite image of NGC 1068, one of the nearest and brightest galaxies containing a rapidly growing supermassive black hole. The X-ray images and spectra obtained using Chandra's High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer show that a strong wind is being driven away from the center of NGC 1068 at a rate of about a million miles per hour. This wind is likely generated as surrounding gas is accelerated and heated as it swirls toward the black hole. A portion of the gas is pulled into the black hole, but some of it is blown away. High energy X-rays produced by the gas near the black hole heat the ouflowing gas, causing it to glow at lower X-ray energies. X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory are shown in red, optical data from the Hubble Space Telescope in green and radio data from the Very Large Array in blue. The spiral structure of NGC 1068 is shown by the X-ray and optical data, and a jet powered by the central supermassive black hole is shown by the radio data. This Chandra study is much deeper than previous X-ray observations. Using this data, researchers believe that each year several times the mass of our sun is being deposited out to large distances, about 3,000 light years from the black hole. The wind likely carries enough energy to heat the surrounding gas and suppress extra star formation. These results help explain how a supermassive black hole can alter the evolution of its host galaxy. It has long been suspected that material blown away from a black hole can affect its environment, but a key question has been whether such "black hole blowback" typically delivers enough power to have a significant impact. NGC 1068 is located about 50 million light years from Earth and contains a supermassive black hole about twice as massive as the one in the middle of the Milky Way Galaxy.
