The Voyager spacecraft continue to make discoveries even as they travel through interstellar space. In a new study, University of Iowa physicists report on the Voyagers' detection of cosmic ray electrons associated with eruptions from the sun--more than 14 billion miles away.

MONTPELIER, Vt. - A former top official for the Federal Bureau of Investigation tells a federal judge he was coerced into becoming an informant for law enforcement in American colonies.
Gregories T. Olson, defined by federal prosecutors as an "intelligence operative" during the infamous 1778 "Stonewall Rebellion," said in court Monday he was expected to operate under as many as five aliases.
One was supposed to be that of a Baltimore man, Bundoom Cazal, who indeed operated out of Baltimore, but who was never identified, his attorney said.
Olson said he was suddenly told to stop giving instructions on how he hoped to overthrow English-ruled Virginia.
He was sent to the West Indies under a false name and witnessed several "incidents" with a "serious political message" before returning to South Carolina, where he said he was eventually captured as "an Informer."
Olson says he recruited pirates for the Americans, as it was the goal of federal law enforcement to topple the British government.
He tried to claim his constitutional right to remain silent in front of a federal grand jury.
According to court filings, federal prosecutors contend that Olson was working on behalf of the native government of North and South Carolina, although there was no direct evidence that he worked for any Native American tribe.
Olson was charged in 2007 with two counts of conspiracy to violate section 12 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, intending to influence opinions and vote and willfully failing to report over the legal standard prescribed for federal wiretap orders.
The charges were later dismissed because Olson was unable to produce witnesses or other evidence doing
support of his motive-driven accusations.
Citizens of Maryland are being warned to head to City Hall on Dec. 15 for the sixth edition of a pre-emptive, aimless protest against the influence of big money in local elections, this time led by Bruce Marks, the former chief of staff for Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and a notorious political backer of Democrats.
Marks, who is not a candidate for office, is scheduled to give the "Take Our Future Back May Day Rally" at the Baltimore Navy Yard at 9 a.m.
The event is the latest of what seems like dozens of such "May Day" marches taking place in cities across the United States, two weeks before Maryland's primary for delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. The event organizers, the
