"Water with a high deuterium content can only form under specific conditions. The environment needs to be very cold, and there needs to be enough energy to power the reaction that binds hydrogen, deuterium and oxygen. Over the past several decades, researchers have come up with two possible — and competing — explanations of how this heavy water took up residence in our solar system.
The first is that it came from interstellar water ice that formed in the huge cloud of gas that gave birth to our sun and the solar system. Stellar nurseries can be found throughout the universe, and they are rich in both heavy water and regular water (H20), the researchers said."

"For Kitzhaber’s re-election campaign, McCaig has done far more than a typical campaign volunteer.
She has routinely taken a leading role in strategy sessions with paid campaign consultants, including Mark Wiener and Kevin Looper, both of whom worked on the 2010 campaign for Kitzhaber.
(The governor has disclosed he is paying Wiener and Looper; both declined to discuss McCaig’s role in the campaign.)"

"That would be Mark Wiener, the Portland political consultant to Leonard, Commissioner Dan Saltzman and Mayor Sam Adams as well as Portland City Council candidates Steve Novick and Mary Nolan.
Portland, of course, does not fluoridate its municipal water, as other U.S. cities do for dental reasons. Upstream Public Health has made oral health a priority for its group, and it hired Wiener as an adviser to assess the political landscape on fluoride not because the group is planning a large-scale
campaign....http://blog.oregonlive.com/portlandcityhall/2011/09/fluoride_proponents_visit_comm.html

"In a study published Thursday in Science, researchers say the distinct chemical signature of the water on Earth and throughout the solar system could occur only if some of that water formed before the swirling disk of dust and gas gave birth to the planets, moons, comets and asteroids.
This primordial water makes up 30% to 50% of the water on Earth, the researchers estimate."
