"Petrified wood - here opalized wood, is basically fossilized wood that has had it’s organic matter replaced by a mineral such as agate, bit by bit over a long period of time, as it decomposes. The wood structure is maintained, but the wood fibers are slowly changed into stone. Sometimes a jasper, quartz, pyrite or even opal can be found fossilized in wood.The example here is quite stunning. #ScienceEveryday" - April Russo from Bookmarklet

"Security software, specifically anti-virus and anti-malware software, has been a staple in the Windows world since Windows 95.

"he couple had run out of milk for their son, Holden, while their neighborhood was on lockdown during Friday’s manhunt. Shortly after noon, McKenzie Wells' mother, Trish Sommers, walked down the block to take a chance at asking an officer if he could help, and he more than obliged. “It just meant the world that he literally went out and got two gallons of milk,’’ McKenzie Wells told TODAY.com. “We wanted to pay him but he wouldn’t take money from us. He was just so generous.’’ - Surprisingly Monstrous from Bookmarklet

That was very kind of him. - Soup in a TARDIS

I don't know if there are legal definitions in New Jersey, but there are definitely customs governing what municipalities call themselves. A "city" is a larger entity that tends to be more densely populated. A "township" is large in area and more suburban in character and usually contains several subsections. A "borough" is a small municipality that is governed independently of nearby... more... - John (bird whisperer)

Yeah, I figured back East might have more of this. We don't even have townships and boroughs out West. - Spidra Webster

"Throughout history, rich and poor countries alike have been lending, borrowing, crashing--and recovering--their way through an extraordinary range of financial crises. Each time, the experts have chimed, "this time is different"--claiming that the old rules of valuation no longer apply and that the new situation bears little similarity to past disasters. With this breakthrough study, leading economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff definitively prove them wrong. Covering sixty-six countries across five continents, This Time Is Different presents a comprehensive look at the varieties of financial crises, and guides us through eight astonishing centuries of government defaults, banking panics, and inflationary spikes--from medieval currency debasements to today's subprime catastrophe. Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff, leading economists whose work has been influential in the policy debate concerning the current financial crisis, provocatively argue that financial combustions are... more... - Miguel Caetano from Bookmarklet

"An employer going bankrupt is an all too common situation in a tough economy. Even good businesses go stale, and their markets can’t support them. Some employers, unfortunately, struggle on until they can’t survive. That creates serious problems for their employees, who may find themselves without pay or other benefits. The employee’s best defense is to learn how to read the signs of a business going under, and take appropriate action." - April Russo from Bookmarklet

"News that an unfinished manuscript by children's illustrator Richard Scarry is to be coloured up by his son and published this autumn may not immediately thrill the children of today, but it will provoke waves of nostalgia in those of us who grew up with his busy anthropomorphised beasts." - Maitani from Bookmarklet

"The book will feature one of Scarry's best-loved and most ubiquitous characters, the alpine-hatted, singly-shod Lowly Worm, who drives an apple and was probably the first worm in space. The unfinished book of sketches and text, devoted to the cheerful invertebrate, was discovered among Scarry's papers, and his son Huck, also an artist, is colouring and completing it. Appropriately,... more... - Maitani

I loved to show and read Richard Scarry books to my son. :-) - Maitani

"A new genus of bat has been discovered in South Sudan, the world’s newest country. The strikingly striped bat has been placed into the genus Niumbaha, which means “rare” or “unusual” in the Zande language of the region. A paper describing the bat was published this week in the journal ZooKeys." - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

"To the Justice Minister of Nova Scotia Rehtaeh Parsons thought the worst outcome for her case would be no charges against the men who raped her but we all know better. The worst thing that could happen would be charges. That they would be found guilty, and that Rehtaeh would sit on a court bench and listen in utter disbelief as they were given parole, or a suspended sentence, or community service. All for completely destroying her life while they laughed. Why is it they didn’t just think they would get away with it; they knew they would get away with it. They took photos of it. They posted it on their Facebook walls. They emailed it to God knows who. They shared it with the world as if it was a funny animation. How is it possible for someone to leave a digital trail like that yet the RCMP don’t have evidence of a crime? What were they looking for if photos and bragging weren’t enough? Why was this treated like a minor incident of bullying rather than a rape? Isn’t the production and... more... - Spidra Webster from Bookmarklet

It's cases like this where I believe that castration should be mandatory. Along with a prolonged prison stay after they get a bullseye target tatooed on their asses. - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

"The remains of a medieval knight or nobleman found underneath a car park are to be moved to make way for a university building. The grave and evidence of a 13th Century monastery were uncovered when archaeologists were called to an Edinburgh Old Town building site. An elaborate sandstone slab, with carvings of a Calvary Cross and ornate sword, marked the grave." - John (bird whisperer) from Bookmarklet
