Sacramento, CA (NewsHax wire) -- California officials have released three more finalists for the statewide design contest in the upcoming California US State quarter series. Previous designs felt plastic and unreflective of the real California, prompting committee chairmen to reopen the design contest for a few more entries.

The rules of the contest request images that convey a unique image of California that both honors the historical events that shape the state yet also presents an image of the state that the rest of the nation can easily identify with.

Leading all ballots thus far is the OJ Simpson trial commerative quarter, capturing 55% of the total vote. The famous non-fitting glove scene is perfectly captured in this quarter design. (more photos...)

The Richter Scale quarter is a tribute to the dynamic forces that are helping to reshape California's homes, bridges and skylines. Honoring the history of ground-shaking change in California, the Richter Scale is an everyday tool on the west coast and uniquely identified with the Golden State.

Nasa (NewsHax wire) -- A new flashbulb added to the Hubble Space Telescope has yielded images that have even Hubble's creators astounded, bringing much of the darker regions of the cosmos into visibility.

The bulb, from Sylvanias Blueshift Dot series, must be replaced by crews every 4 photos, but the details it can pick up are far beyond what experts ever thought possible and are expected to shed even more light upon the mysteries of the cosmos. (More photos...)

In a study conducted by NewsHax for the New England Journal of Dentistry, 4 out of 5 dentists in our national survey indicated a sharp preference for fondling semi-conscious patients over sugarless gum.

In a surprise second place finish, it turns out that more dentists actually prefer sugared gum to sugarless gum, and by a 5 to 1 margin. Says a spokeman for the National Dental Association, "Were you really surprised by any of this?"

(NewsHax wire) -- The US Department of Energy released their annual list of additions to protected national energy reserves, designations that offer certain sites federal protection for future energy development needs. Among this years listees was the surprise inclusion of Al Sharptons hair for it's "proven reserves of high quality crude oil."

Furthermore, Energy Department officals say that these are self replenishing reserves, the first of their kind. "It just won't dry up, no matter how much you extract," say officials, making this the worlds first classification of fossil fuels as a renewable resource.

Sharpton is not the first human to make the list however, and joins singer Rick James and actors Brad Pitt and Billy Dee Williams as a fellow protected reserve designee
