	Radio Caroline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Caroline was not the first offshore station; the first ship-based radio station reportedly broadcast in the USA from the casino ship Rex, moored off California in the 1930s.
		To survive, Caroline shared its 259 metre broadcast frequency (actually 1187 kHz, corresponding to a wavelength of 253 metres) with Dutch language pop stations, the first of which was a Belgian station called Radio Atlantis, which used the frequency during the daytime to broadcast pre-recorded programmes.

	Scientists exultant over photos sent from Titan's moon - 1/15/05
		The probe was designed to shed its heat shield during descent and use a special camera and instruments to collect information on wind speeds and the makeup of Titan's atmosphere for transmission back to Cassini and relay to NASA's Deep Space Network in California and to ESA controllers in Darmstadt.
		Named after Titan's discoverer, the 17th century Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens, the probe carries instruments to explore Titan's atmosphere and find out whether it has the cold seas of liquid methane and ethane that have been theorized by scientists.
		Mission officials -- who have waited since 1997 for Huygens to reach its destination -- had tears in their eyes as the first signal was picked up, indicating the probe was transmitting to the Cassini mother ship.

	Checkerboard Farms - Home of Wander 352 FPS Approved Friesian Stallion and Astuto Andalusion Stallion
		Wander 352 is one of approximately 75 approved Friesian breeding stallions in the Dutch registry.
		Even though Friesian stallions are tested and must have quality semen, not all Friesian stallions have semen able to ship overnight.
		One veterinarian called his semen "turbo semen." When there are so few available stallions for this rare breed and fewer with the capability of shipping, his abilities have been helpful to many Friesian mare owners, especially those living far from any available stallion or in rural areas.
