Goldilocks Planet
A new planet was recently discovered by astronomers. Like Earth, this planet is not too hot or too cold for life. This planet is what scientists call a Goldilock's planet. It isn't too big or small for a good surface, gravity or atmosphere either. We do not no if their is water on this planet yet. This Goldilock's planet sits right in the middle of what scientists call the habitatible zone. Do you think there is life on this planet? If so, would you want to explore it?
Death Rays
Vdara, a new hotel in Vegas, was just built. It's side is covered in all glass, which is common. On the other hand, the death rays that these glass windows, that are aimed at the pool area, produce are not so common. These rays have burned some guests and can melt plastic bags. Although these rays aren't deadly, you do not want to stay under them for a while. The building's concave shape creates a magnifying effect. How long do you think these hotel will last before a law suit occurs?

Plaxico Burress want's Vick-like Comeback
Plaxico Burress was sent to jail one year ago for a felony gun charge offence. While in jail he has tried to get get an application for work release, but was denied. Burres was a high-level widereciever for the Super Bowl winning, New York Giants. Recently, he was given his first in-jail interview. One of the things that was said was: "I want to not just come back and play, but play at a high level." Burress has ran routes in the prison yard, but none of them are nearly as good as ones from Eli Manning. Do you think he should be able to play in the NFL again? If so, will he ever have the same talent as before?

New Canadian Speed Bumps
West Vancouver, Canada apparently isn't satisfied with the original speed-bump. They have developed a new "thing" to slow you down while driving. It's a 3d picture of a little girl with a ball. The painting appears to raise up as you drive closer to it. This is a link to the picture- http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20100908/od_yblog_upshot/canada-unveils-new-speed-bump-optical-illusions-of-children As you can see in the picture, the painting looks fairly real and would definattly make you slow down. Do you think these new types of speed bumps will work?
Roger Clemen's Indictment
The 7 time Cy-Young winner, Roger Clemens was accused of using steroids to boost his performance, but during his trial he swore that he hadn't taken them. He said to a House comitee in 2008, " Let me be clear. I have never taken steroids or HGH (Human Growth Hormones)." He was recently charged with a 6 count indictment for lying under oath.

The trial is now over and he pleaded not-guilty, but could this accusition bite away at his reputition?
