Have long thought that the accretion disk of a black hole is capable of pulling so much mass in from all directions that a portion must escape along its rotational axes driven to extreme velocities by the incoming compression close to the Schwarzschild radius. (there isn't enough kerning in this font to separate the c from the l or the r from the n, somebody should fix that)

Would love to learn more about black holes - you sound like you know what you are talking about! Any favorite books that cover recent theories? Would love suggestions.

Have long been one of the least formally educated members of AAAS mostly for the subscription to Science (damn kerning issues again) which has an excellent collection of the latest research on pretty much everything, every week. Not because I'm stupid though, my ACT score got me into Mensa a long, long time ago. AAAS membership is much more economical than individual issues of Science by far. From black hole accretion disks pushing incoming matter streams into supraluminal jets beaming out at the rotational poles to protoplanetary disks exhibiting gravitational fractionation over eons which deposit the lightest elements and compounds in the outermost orbits and could possibly explain the atypical heat in Venus as a specific radioactive grouping establishing a node and accreting there.

Checking out AAAS now! Thanks for the suggestion.
