homeless japenese lady lived in a mans closet for a year

A homeless Japanese woman broke into a mans house and lived undetected for be was arrested when food started to disappear. Police found the 58 year old woman Thursday night hiding in the mans top closet compartment, she was then arrested for trespassing. The owner of the home installed security cameras that transmitted images to his mobile phone after being puzzled by food disappearing.One camera caught someone moving inside his house after he left on Thursday, the owner then called the police believing that it was a buglar but when the police got there they found all the doors and windows shut. The woman told police she had no place to live and first sneaked into the man's house about a year ago when he left it unlocked.Police were investigating how she managed to go in and out of the house unnoticed, as well as details of her life inside the closet and whether she had taken anything else besides food.She had moved a mattress into the small closet space and apparently even took showers, Itakura said, calling the woman "neat and clean."

Researchers say,Stonehenge was a place of burial.

It appears that researchers have found one of the many uses for Stonehenge was burials. Researchers say that Stonehenge served as a burial ground from its beginning and for some hundred years after that. Cremated remains show that the burials began as early as 3000 B.C., research has also found that the first ditches were being built around the landmark at this time. It is now clear to archaeologists that burials at Stonehenge were a major part of its early life.

At first many archaeologists thought that burials at Stonehenge only took place for about a century. The archaeologists also excavated a small village nearby at Durrington walls, which they found to be seasonal homes related to Stonehenge. The village appeared to be a place of the living and Stonehenge a place of the ancestors. In the middle of the village the archaeologists found a circle of wooden pillars which was given the name the Southern circle. It is facing the midwinter sunrise. The archaeologists found that the earliest cremation burial was a small group of bones and teeth found in one of the ditches, and they dated to 3030B.C. to 2880B.C.

The actual building and purpose of Stonehenge still remain a mystery.

I find this all very interesting in fact i find anything that has to do with early history and life very interesting. I think it is amazing for how long Stonehenge has been around and we are only now unraveling its mysteries.

City Dwellers produce less co2 than country folk

A recent study at the Brookings Institution, has found that per person city people produce less co2 than people who live in the country. One scientist says this is mainly because of the mass transit systems and the population density reduce the per person average. While metropolitan area emissions are some of the highest in the eastern U.S., where people rely more on coal power for electricity. Researchers have found that in the western U.S. the metropolitan area emissions are less than the emissions in the eastern U.S.. The study examined use of residential electricity, home heating and cooling, and transportation in 2005 in the largest 100 metropolitan where two-thirds of the people in the U.S. live. Lexington, Kentucky, had the largest per capita carbon footprint:on average each resident accounted for 3.81 tons of carbon dioxide in their energy use.

I was a little surprised when I read this article because I thought that no matter the case large cities would have the highest per capita co2 emissions. But I was wrong I can see why more city people are "greener" than country people. I think it is because in the country you are raised to conserve to begin with so you are already aware of the environment, but in the city you become more aware because of water restrictions and air quality and stuff like that. And finally there are the high gas prices which make city people use public transportation where in the country you don't really have public transportation.

On Tuesday NASA gave the orders to the most recent mars lander top extend its eight foot robotic arm and start digging for ice, but they couldn't get through to the robot because one of the orbiters UHF radio had shut off causing a delay in the message. NASA used the second mars orbiter odyssey to relay the command to phoenix. However they couldn't get the orders to extend the arm until Wednesday and even then it was a two day process, making the arm ready for extending on Thursday. The arm will eventually dig the soil around it, looking for ice that is believed to be within inches to a foot below the surface. As well as digging the robot well look for traces of organic life in the ice.

This is amazing now not only do we have the two mars rovers on mars but we also have a construction bot to dig for ice for us. If they do find organic traces of life in the ice what then? Are we supposed to pack up and start colonizing mars?

Polaroid memories

So is this sad or what? Polaroid is going to stop making its trademark magic photo film next year because of the growth in digital photos. For years people have watched the "magic" photo develop instantly right in front of their eyes.

I believe that we,(the people) should do something to keep this revolutionary film around,because while it may end up being an exhibit in the Smithsonian museum i feel that it should stay in circulation and still be in use, because the Polaroid film is better for some things than digital film.

This French sky diver named Michel Fournier,almost made a record breaking parachute jump from the earths stratosphere on Tuesday but the balloon that was supposed to carry him slipped away from his crew. The ex-paratrooper had hoped to set some new records for the highest jump, fastest free fall, longest free fall and the highest altitude reached by a man in a balloon.Fournier planned his big jump at 25 miles above the earth surface and then land safely.

A Big Oil Billionair that Supports Wind Energy?

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/05/19/pickens.qa/index.html#cnnSTCText

So there is this billionaire oil man named T. Boone Pickens says he supports wind energy. He is investing millions of dollars to make a new wind farm in Texas. It is said to likely become the biggest wind farm in the world, making enough a power for 1.3 billion homes. T. Boone Pickens says he supports wind energy because it's renewable and is a good start for an alternative source of energy instead of oil. The location is in the central part of the United States well be the best location from a safety standpoint. Pickens says we need to get "caught" up with our neighbors like Spain and Germany as far as wind. I mean who wants to spend $600 billion a year for oil?

I agree with Pickens on the fact that we do need another source of energy, but I wonder if he is doing this just to make more money. Research says that one turbine well generate 20,000 dollars a year in royalty income, and on a plot of land with 640 acres you can put about ten turbines so you do the math that's about 200,000 more dollars a year in income for Pickens.
