More on New Orleans violence exaggerations

You've probably seen this already: The Times-Picayune on New Orleans violence rumors vs. reality.

Mentioning things

So which is it? Do people constantly talk about class in America because they don't want to mention race, or do people constantly talk about race in America because they don't want to mention class? Because apparently both things are true and I want to know which taboo to fight first. Or are these different groups of mentioners?

Hyperion

Here's Hyperion. All the close photos seem so far to be from about the same angle; there's a thumbnail of a crescent view from the other direction, but the raw image isn't actually up yet.

To my eyes, Bond-Lassell Dorsum, the ridge seen by Voyager that runs from left to right near the top, looks to be part of a weird irregular crater rim covering the whole face of the moon. I wonder what the deal is with the dark material at the crater bottoms.

Some of these craters already have names because Voyager saw them, if faintly. The dark-floored crater right at the middle of the picture is named Bahloo (after an Australian moon god), and the sort of petal-shaped one nearer the bottom is Meri, a Bororo folk hero and sun deity.

More Hyperion

More pictures are up. I gotta say, this is yet another weird-looking moon. Some of the surfaces look like loose dust or snow close-up.
