| Man has intricate knowledge of Detroit Zoo's feathered friends
ROYAL OAK, Mich. - They fight for space, form alliances -- and break them -- romance new mates, and then break up. No, it's not the latest season of "The Real World." It's the real-life world of penguins in the Penguinarium at the Detroit Zoo. "They're very social," said Tom Schneider, curator of birds at the region's only zoo. "They form bonds. Then sometimes they have divorces, and they take up with someone else." .

Very true, values have detiorated significantly, but that cannot make the wrongs, right. If we all take this view of moving with the tide because it is too hard to swim against it, I am not sure who will be able to bail us out. I have enough proof that religious teaching - sepcially buddhist if practiced can benefit individuals. The society will not change over night, but if each one of us make a commitment to change it is bound to make a difference. Hope a more optimistic, committed approach is practiced by the business leaders, who can be an example to others. We can make a difference. .

AC on cold morning leads to Estates grow-house bust
An air conditioner that was in use on an unusually cold morning helped lead investigators to a suspected marijuana grow house operation in Golden Gate Estates. Delfin H. Puentes, 39, of Fort Myers, was arrested Thursday and charged with marijuana trafficking -- more than 25 pounds -- and possession of narcotic paraphernalia. Reports say Puentes operated a marijuana grow house at 1781 8th Ave. N.E. Earlier this month a deputy on patrol noticed that an air conditioning unit was in use at the house on a cold morning. As the deputy approached the residence, he could smell the odor of growing marijuana. The house appeared to be vacant at the time. Around 10 a.m. Thursday, a blue Nissan Pathfinder driven by Puentes left the house, traveling 51 mph on Eighth Avenue Northeast, where the posted speed is 35 mph.
What is the Iraq war's carbon footprint?
We are updated on a daily basis about the ever mounting human cost of the Iraq war, but even the US military is now starting to ask questions about how much oil the "war over oil" is consuming. Last year, Major General Richard Zilmer sent the Pentagon a "priority one" request from Iraq for "a self-sustainable energy solution" that would include "solar panels and wind turbines". The US military's carbon footprint was not his concern - rather, that "by reducing the need for [petrol] at our outlying bases, we can decrease the frequency of logistics convoys on the road, thereby reducing the danger to our marines, soldiers, and sailors". Amory Lovins, the world-renowned energy consultant, agrees that the US military has a "fat fuel-logistics tail" and believes that this is a "very teachable moment for the military" on reducing its immense fossil fuel consumption.
