There was a new dinosaur discovery in Brazil recently. It was classified as a mammal- like reptile called the therapsids. This new dinosaur was named Tiarajudens Eccentricus. But the discovery isn't causing the curiosity of the dinosaur; its the fact that it has long teeth like a saber tooth tiger but has regular teethe like humans to grind up food. So this would make the animal a herbivore with long sharp teeth. Scientist are trying to figure a lot more out about this new discovery.

Japan Earthquake
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/03/110315-japan-earthquake-tsunami-big-one-science/
Scientist area saying that the earthquake that hit Japan recently is not the "big one". Yes the magnitude was huge but the death toll will not be as great as the one scientists predicted will happen soon. The one they predicted will hit right around Tokyo which will kill many more people than the recent one. They said it could be a repeat of the 1923 earthquake that hit around Tokyo and killed about 142,000 people. So since Tokyo is lying very close to three fault lines, an earthquake could easily destroy it.

Baby Panda

This is at a zoo in China that is trying to re-introduce pandas in the wild without human influence. So the zoo keepers are dressing up in panda costumes to take care of the panda. It's really interesting to see what people do to help a species survive.

Life in Meteorite
http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,2057461,00.html
A meteor that hit France in the 1800's was recently discovered of having evidence of life in it. When the news came out it it was quick to be criticized by other people. There were many different opinions about the news but most people were not surprised at all. There have been small alien microbes found in other parts of the world so it was not surprising that it was found again. Although there were a good amount of people who denied it. I think its true and that it is just another step to coming in contact with alien life.

Solar Panels
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/24/business/energy-environment/24solar.html?ref=earth
A few weeks after the building of solar panels in the Southern California desert, lawsuits were began from the labor and American Indian groups in America. There were going to be 9 solar panel plants mostly in the Mojave Desert. But after it was approved it was criticized for disrupting the environment. There were many species of animals that would be threatened by the building of the solar panels such as desert tortoises and the bighorn sheep. But these solar panels would supply so much energy for California and create many more construction jobs for people. But the conflict is will make it very difficult to start building soon. But at least 3 of the 9 power plants will most likely be built. The other plants are still under lawsuit.
