Fri Feb 18, 11:57 am ET Kayakers snap photo of England’s version of the ‘Loch Ness Monster’ By Brett Michael Dykes Nothing puts a damper on a serene afternoon's kayaking like the sight of a primeval sea monster. That was the rude lesson for Tom Pickles and Sarah Harrington, who'd taken their watercraft out on the foggy waters of Lake Windermere, only to encounter what appeared to be "an enormous snake" swimming by. "It was petrifying and we paddled back to the shore straight away. At first I thought it was a dog and then saw it was much bigger and moving really quickly at about 10 mph," the 24-year-old Pickles told The Telegraph. "Each hump was moving in a rippling motion and it was swimming fast. Its skin was like a seal's but its shape was completely abnormal—it's not like any animal I've ever seen before." FULL STORY |

NASA scientist finds evidence of alien life Aliens exist, and we have proof. That astonishingly awesome claim comes from Dr. Richard B. Hoover, an astrobiologist at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, who says he has found conclusive evidence of alien life — fossils of bacteria found in an extremely rare class of meteorite called CI1 carbonaceous chondrites. (There are only nine such meteorites on planet Earth.) Hoover’s findings were published late Friday night in the Journal of Cosmology, a peer-reviewed scientific journal.Story & Photos |

That's quite an interesting find after all these years of wondering if there was like on other planets. Considering the government cover-ups of aliens landing on Earth, I'm not too surprised. Monday March 7th, at 12:30 Central Time, the Space Shuttle Discovery is sheduled to undock from the Space Station and return to Earth. Live pictures will be on the NASA channel, which I don't have. A neighbor that we visited today had the channel on his TV. |

Wow a NASA Channel? That honestly sounds pretty cool. It's probably American only though just like everything else these days. |

Yeah, I'd love to have a NASA Channel! Here's a weird story, it's really sick! Saturday, March 12, 2011 News Canada Body reportedly put through wood chipper Man charged with second-degree murder after human remains found By JEFF CUMMINGS, QMI AGENCY Last Updated: March 12, 2011 9:42pm EDMONTON -- A 38-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder and committing an indignity to a body after his common-law wife's remains were found in a rural location near Lac La Biche. Cops believe the remains are those of Roxanne Bigelow, 43, but that must still be confirmed by the medical examiner on Monday, said RCMP spokesman Sgt. Tim Taniguchi. Bigelow's aunt, who didn't want her name published, said investigators told her the victim's body was put through a wood chipper. "He (the suspect) put her through a wood chipper. I hope this didn't happen in front of the kids," the aunt said. Taniguchi wouldn't confirm whether a wood chipper was, adding that's "also part of the investigation."STORY |

Tue Mar 29, 12:55 pm ET For 12-year old astrophysics prodigy, the sky’s the limit by Zachary Roth In some ways, Jacob Barnett is just like any other 12-year-old kid. He plays Guitar Hero, shoots hoops with his friends, and has a platonic girlfriend. But in other ways, he's a little different. Jake, who has an IQ of 170, began solving 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzles at the age of 3, not long after he'd been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism. A few years later, he taught himself calculus, algebra, and geometry in two weeks. By 8, he had left high school, and is currently taking college-level advanced astrophysics classes—while tutoring his older classmates. And he's being recruited for a paid researcher job by Indiana University. Now, he's at work on a theory that challenges the Big Bang—the prevailing explanation among scientists for how the universe came about. It's not clear how developed it is, but experts say he's asking the right questions. "The theory that he's working on involves several of the toughest problems in astrophysics and theoretical physics," Scott Tremaine of Princeton University's Institute for Advanced Studies—where Einstein (pictured) himself worked—wrote in an email to Jake's family. "Anyone who solves these will be in line for a Nobel Prize." Here you can watch Jake question some of the key elements of Albert Einstein's theories on quantum physics: It's not clear where Jake got his gifts from. "Whenever I try talking about math with anyone in my family," he told the Indianapolis Star, "they just stare blankly." But his parents encouraged his interests from the start. Once, they took him to the planetarium at Butler University. "We were in the crowd, just sitting, listening to this guy ask the crowd if anyone knew why the moons going around Mars were potato-shaped and not round," Jake's mother, Kristine Barnett, told the Star. "Jacob raised his hand and said, 'Excuse me, but what are the sizes of the moons around Mars?' " After the lecturer answered, said Kristine, "Jacob looked at him and said the gravity of the planet ... is so large that (the moon's) gravity would not be able to pull it into a round shape." "That entire building ... everyone was just looking at him, like, 'Who is this 3-year-old?'" For original story with photos, video & links, Click Here. |

Wow! Thats truly amazing... Heres one I found: British archaeologists are seeking to authenticate what could be a landmark discovery in the documentation of early Christianity: a trove of 70 lead codices that appear to date from the 1st century CE, which may include key clues to the last days of Jesus' life. As UK Daily Mail reporter Fiona Macrae writes, some researchers are suggesting this could be the most significant find in Christian archeology since the Dead Sea scrolls in 1947. The codices turned up five years ago in a remote cave in eastern Jordan—a region where early Christian believers may have fled after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE. The codices are made up of wirebound individual pages, each roughly the size of a credit card. Click here for the full story |

Here's a story Uncle Seuss sent me. Spanish scientists search for fuel of the future by Virginie Grognou Virginie Grognou – Thu Mar 31, 2:32 am ET ALICANTE, Spain (AFP) – In a forest of tubes eight metres high in eastern Spain scientists hope they have found the fuel of tomorrow: bio-oil produced with algae mixed with carbon dioxide from a factory. Almost 400 of the green tubes, filled with millions of microscopic algae, cover a plain near the city of Alicante, next to a cement works from which the C02 is captured and transported via a pipeline to the "blue petroleum" factory. The project, which is still experimental, has been developed over the past five years by Spanish and French researchers at the small Bio Fuel Systems (BFS) company. At a time when companies are redoubling their efforts to find alternative energy sources, the idea is to reproduce and speed up a process which has taken millions of years and which has led to the production of fossil fuels. "We are trying to simulate the conditions which existed millions of years ago, when the phytoplankton was transformed into oil," said engineer Eloy Chapuli. "In this way, we obtain oil that is the same as oil today." The microalgae reproduces at high speed in the tubes by photosynthesis and from the CO2 released from the cement factory. Every day some of this highly concentrated liquid is extracted and filtered to produce a biomass that is turned into bio-oil. The other great advantage of the system is that it is a depollutant -- it absorbs the C02 which would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. "It's ecological oil," said the founder and chairman of BFS, French engineer Bernard Stroiazzo-Mougin, who worked in oil fields in the Middle East before coming to Spain. "We need another five to 10 years before industrial production can start," said Stroiazzo-Mougin, who hopes to be able to develop another such project on the Portuguese island of Madeira. "In a unit that covers 50 square kilometres, which is not something enormous, in barren regions of southern Spain, we could produce about 1.25 million barrels per day," or almost as much as the daily export of oil from Iraq, he said. BFS, a private company, hopes to negotiate "with several countries to obtain subsidies for the installation of artificial oil fields," he said. Other similar projects being studied in other parts of the world. In Germany, the Swedish energy group Vattenfall last year launched a pilot project in which algae is used to absorb carbon dioxide from a coal-fired power plant. US oil giant ExxonMobil plans to invest up to $600 million in research on oil produced from algae. Companies, in particular those in the aeronautic sector, have shown keen interest in this research, hoping to find a replacement for classic oil. ORIGINAL STORY & LINKS |
