Expecting A Raise At Work? How To Handle A Dry Promotion getty Not all promotions are created equal. Companies offering dry promotions have been the latest trend.

A Galaxy Composed Almost Entirely of Dark Matter Has Been Confirmed   XingChao Zhang/GETTY IMAGES Astronomers have just identified what appears to be a cosmic anomaly: a faint galaxy with so few visible stars that, according to calculations, as much as 99.9 percent of its mass is dark matter. The remaining 0.1 percent is conventional matter. This galaxy, located about 300 million light-years away, is practically invisible. Only four globular clusters, small concentrations of stars that look like isolated neighborhoods in the middle of the void, stand out.
