Featured article: April 5, 2006

Katie Holmes is an American actress best known for her role as the tomboy Joey Potter on The WB television drama Dawson's Creek. The part on the teen soap, only her second professional role, made Holmes a star. Her movie roles have ranged from art films such as Pieces of April to thrillers such as Abandon, but she has not found the same success in films as she did on television, the actress admitting most of her films were "bombs." Holmes began a highly publicized relationship with actor Tom Cruise in 2005; two months after they met they were engaged. Their relationship has made Holmes the subject of international media attention, much of it highly negative, the press speculating the relationship was only a publicity stunt to promote the couple's films. In October 2005, the couple announced Holmes was pregnant. (continued...)

Richat Structure

The Richat Structure is a depression in the country of Mauritania, almost 50 km (30 mi) across. It was originally thought to be the impact of a meteorite. Now it is thought to be a symmetrical uplift (circular anticline or dome) that has been exposed to erosion. In this false-color photo, bedrock is brown, sand is yellow and white, vegetation is green, and salty sediments are blue.
