New species of dinosaur found in eastern Utah rock

Fossils of a previously undiscovered species of dinosaur have been found in slabs of Utah sandstone that were so hard that explosives had to be used to free some of the remains, scientists said Tuesday 23, 2010. The bones found at Dinosaur National Monument belonged to a type of sauropod — long-necked plant-eaters that were said to be the largest animal ever to roam land. The new species is called Abydosaurus mcintoshi. Researchers say it's part of the larger brachiosaurus family, hulking four-legged vegetarians that include sauropods.

The fossils offer fresh insight into lives of dinosaurs some 105 million years ago, including the evolution of sauropod teeth.Of the 120 or so known species of sauropods, complete skulls have been found for just eight. That's mostly because their skulls were made of thin, fragile bones bound by soft tissue that were easily destroyed after death. The findings are being published this week in the peer-reviewed science journal Naturwissenschaften.

Now who doesn't love the sound of this? It enlightens me that we are still discovering different species. To know that the world was once a land of dinosaurs, that roamed free instead of city lights, polluted air, and the human populations blows my mind. I guess you never know what you can find if you dig a little.

Here comes Obama's job stimulus

With the nation's unemployment hovering around 10%, Obama administration is releasing a new job stimulus plan. This plan will pump $150 billion into businesses around the nation to encourage hiring and growth; it is expected to create thousands of new jobs in virtually every industry. Obama plans on getting this plan going as soon as possible, it is expected to move through Congress quickly, we may be seeing effects of the plan as soon as March.
Janet Hill says, "the real question is, will you be ready to get those job? The people who go out and get the skills and education get first pick. Fortunately, unemployed workers can get ready for these jobs with online classes and degree programs, which can be completed in a few months."
Its a good thing we are all already in school, i think this plan can help out a lot with all of our problems. We are working hard trying to go to school, as well as providing for our families at the same time; many of us can not even find a job. On the other hand, couldn't this bring us into more debt as a nation?

Hard times push more women to strip clubs

Atlanta applications for adult entertainment permits have spiked in the last few years. like the rest of the world adult entertainment has taken a hit, but its not slowing down the dancers from paying the $350 for a permit. Even in this tough economy, a dancer can clear about $50,000 a year, that beats working in a dentist's office or selling homes right now. Women who may not have ever thought about working in the industry are rethinking. By day they are dental hygienists, college students, and office workers, by night they are on the main stage with a fake name. You can use the industry in one of two ways, as a stepping stone or a tombstone. Usually the industry is a pass through so women can go on to bigger and better things.
Is it bad that our economy has become this bad to were more girl are stripping to pay bills? I can understand where these ladies are coming from, somtimes you have to do what you can to support your family. It is sad to see our world come down to things like this.

Facebook pulls 30 UK inmates pages after taunts

Article from Yahoo.com

Facebook removed the profiles of 30 UK inmates after several incidents, prisoners reportedly used the social networking site to organize crime and taunt other online. British prisoners are now banned from all Internet access, except for educational purpose under supervision.
Justice Secretary Jack Straw said, "What we've got to do is set up a better system with Facebook so that if they get a notice from us that this site is improper, then all they have to do is not make a judgment about it but press the delete button." Facebook said they take problems like this serious, they will delete any accounts that do not follow their rules.

Can i say WOW!!!! I'm not sure if i am the only one, when going to prison you shouldn't have the right to be on the Internet or the right to do much at all. Yes for educational purpose i understand, to communicate with the outside world is out of the question for me. The world wide web is already an wild and unruly place, we do not need inmates sharing their prison life, and taunting innocent people!

London opens 1st exercise area for elderly

Article found at Yahoo.com
"Every park has a children's playground, very few have playground's for adults, and none have playground's for the elderly" said Madelin Elsdon, local resident helping fund money to build the park. London has began working on the project to build a playground for the elderly in popular Hyde Park. The project funds are already at a $60,000 and continues to climb higher as more people insist on contributing. The park will have six pieces of equipment bought in Denmark, including a stationary bicycle, a cross-trainer and a sit-up bench. This is a great way to encourage older people to exercise, socialize, and could possibly alleviate feelings of loneliness and depression. They are naming it "Hyde Park Senior Playground" but anyone of any age is welcome to exercise at the park.

I think this is a wonderful idea, older people do not get out much, this could help with many things as well as health. I can honestly say i am jealous, Joplin has nothing that comes close to a park like this. I would love to pitch this idea to the people of Joplin, we have perfect scenery for such a thing. This could help us with the weight problems we are having in this area. We all need our exercise, elderly people as well, staying in shape will keep us living longer.

How To Legally Erase Up to 60% of your Credit Card Debt

I found this article on howlifeworks.com
Every adult you know has some kind of debt, as people we love to shop and spend money we do not have, and place on a credit card because its quick and you can pay it back later. As long as i can remember, everyone told me to not get a credit card, and if so use it right or else you will end up like the rest of the world. I have always been one of those people that only learn by doing, so of course i have a few credit cards. As a girl i have a little bit of a shopping problem like the rest of us haha. I made the choice to get student credit cards, this only allows you to have a low limit. I would suggest the same for anyone else.
The article states credit card companies have become more understanding to the fact that most Americans do not have the money to pay back what they owe. All depending on your financial situation credit card companies will often reduce interest rates, waive fees and penalties, or even erase or "forgive" up to 60% of your debt.
It entertains me that debt collectors will call you all day like the boy who is obsessed with, and now they have "turned over a new leaf" and is calling to as, what can you afford to pay? I am very glad to see that they are putting their self in other peoples shoes. For anyone have this problem you can go to http://www.debtreliefcenter.com/ and see what kind of options they give you!

Haiti food convoy attacked....

This world never ceases to amaze me, I don't understand how anyone could steal food and things that have been donated to victims that have suffered such a tragedy. On Saturday twenty armed men blocked a road and tried to hijack a convoy caring food from the airport in Jeremie. The men fled the scene after U.N. and Haitian officers fired warning gunshots.
In Jacmel, also a southern city, 33 prisoners escaped when the prisons collapsed. Mobs have stolen food and looted goods from the many victims that are living in squalid tents of sheets and sticks. This has cause neighbors in the camp to join together and protect their survival materials, by either banding together or staying awake all night to prevent raids.

I am not sure if I am an unusual person, but i feel like the greed has taken over too many people in the world. Why steal when you can join and help? Why do people only think of their self? There is alwasy a big picture to see, we just need to grind our eyes open wide!
