SANTIAGO, Chile Chile says seismic activity is dropping at a volcano on the border with Argentina but officials are maintaining a red alert as a precaution. Chile's emergency office ONEMI issued the highest alert Sunday in the Biobio region after it registered high seismic activity Saturday night at the Copahue volcano and an ash cloud billowing almost a mile high. The volcano began spewing ash and gas Saturday. Mining Minister Hernan de Solminihac says activity at the volcano dropped to normal to low early Monday and the ash plume has descended to about 660 feet. That's a sign internal pressure has decreased inside the volcano. The Copahue volcano, which sits in the Andes cordillera, straddling the border with Argentina's Neuquen province, started spewing ash and gas on Saturday.

The sun approaches total eclipse in Australia on Nov. 13, 2012 (EST). Panasonic ECLIPSE LIVE by Solar Power The moon blocked out the sun in a total solar eclipse today, briefly turning dawn back into night over parts of northern Australia and the southern Pacific Ocean. The total solar eclipse began just after sunrise local time Wednesday (Nov. 14) in northern Australia, thrilling nearly 50,000 spectators who had flocked to the tropical city of Cairns to witness the event. It was the first total solar eclipse in Australia in a decade and the last eclipse of its kind that humans will see until 2015. Because of time zone differences, it was still Tuesday afternoon (Nov. 13) in the United States during the celestial event.

Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

People who don't stink still wear deodorant

Excerpt:

For most, putting on deodorant is a necessary ritual on par with brushing teeth or washing hands. But for people who produce no armpit stench, it is totally unnecessary. Despite that, nearly three-quarters of those people still use deodorant daily, a new study finds. The findings, published Thursday in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, show just how much a person's daily life is dictated by what's considered normal. "They're spending their money, exposing their skin to what may in a few instances not be good for their skin. It sort of suggests to me that there are a lot of conformists around," said study co-author Ian Day, a genetic epidemiologist at the University of Bristol. [10 Odd Facts About the Female Body] Several years ago ago, scientists discovered that a gene called ABCC11 determined whether people produced wet or dry earwax.
