IR Blogpost 3d: The Trooper Spiderman -Todayshow

The hit movie and comic has gone to Broadway, but has been met with little success. A couple weeks ago, the star of the show, who played SpiderMan, went to make a routine jump, but he wasn't attached to anything. He fell over 30 feet, causing many broken bones, including 3 broken vertebrae and a fractured skull. He has to be in a back-brace. He is, however, very optimistic and is not blaming anybody. He has taken everything in stride. This has been the most expensive show ever put on Broadway, and this is what happens. Investigators do not know yet why the harness was unclipped, and that is one thing I was wondering. I can't imagine such a big mistake ever occurring on Broadway. Its unthinkable.

IR Blogpost 2d: My Rat is Better than Your Microscope -popsci

In a recent study, a certain 10 pound rat species has been found to be extremely accurate at detecting tuberculosis. They have shown themselves to be even more reliable than microscopes. New technology has been developed to find the disease too, but as it turns out, using it costs $17,000 for each test. The rat is cheaper by far. I think thats actually pretty neat. And the rat is kind of cute..haha 790px-Cricetomys-gambianus.jpg. I was a little surprised though that the old method they used is 100 years old. So, I am not all that surprised that the rat was more accurate than a method that was invented 100 years ago. However, rats are still not used as first line detection method.

IR Blogpost 1d: Something Smells Crabby -msnbc

Something's rotten in the state of England...and I don't mean politically. Something is really rotting. For the past few years, thousands of dead crabs line the shores of England. This is puzzling to scientists who are having trouble pinpointing the cause. They believe that it may be linked to freezing temperatures which the crabs are unaccustomed to. I think its a fairly gross problem to have thousands of dead, smelly crabs on the beach which only attract predators which will in turn, have a marvelous feast. It is also ominous because something like this also happened in Arkansas, Sweden, and Louisiana where many birds just fell out of the skies. I wonder if occurrences like this are going to continue.
