Hamster

Hamster: "This lively pet hamster will keep you company throughout the day. Watch him run on his wheel, drink water, and eat the food you feed him by clicking your mouse. Click the center of the wheel to make him get back on it."

Where can you find it?

We think that this teen is a great success in the U.S. He will inspire millions of children to get out and do something big as he did. We think that he will change many kids life by doing speeches. Everyone should be proud of Jordan for being 13 and to have climbed 6 of the Seven Summits. Kids should follow his example.

American boy, 13, breaks Everest record



On Saturday Jordan Romero a 13 year old American broke the Everest record, being the youngest to ever climb it. Broke the record of a 16 year old Temba Tsheri of Nepal. He said he was doing this for himself to do something big but also to inspire others. "Obese children are the future of America, the way things are going," he said on April 9 in Kathmandu. "I am hoping to change that by doing what I do: climbing and motivational speaking." Jordan has now climbed 6 of the Seven Summits and plans the 7th one; Vinson Massif in Antarctica to be climbed in December.

Awake during surgery: 'I'm in hell': comment

Imagine that your are having a surgery and you wake up, imagine the pain you will feel, and you will not even be able to make a signal to the doctors because the anesthesia doesn't lets you. I would not like it for sure. But a least it doesn't happens to all people, and also the scientist are trying to find the reason and a cure. I hope this doesn't happens to any of us.

Awake during surgery: 'I'm in hell'



Carol Weiher was having her eye surgery in the right eye in 1998 when she woke up in an operating room hearing disco music. She wanted to make a signal to doctors to let them know she was awake, but the muscle relaxant didn't permit her. This is the effect that general anesthesia has on a person who has woken up at the middle of a surgery. One in a thousand people will wake up under this effect. Doctors all over the world have been trying to find out what causes this because the brain is supposed to be completly inactive with the general anesthesia.

Laser stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation! "Everyone has some sort of connection every single day to lasers -- even if most people have no idea what that connection is," said Mark Bronski, manager of laser production at German-based TRUMPF Inc., the largest manufacturer of industrial lasers in North America." today lasers help for many things. they can help for surgery like laser waxing, laser eye surgery, and for removing warts.

Happy 50th birthday to the laser: Comment

50 years ago on this day the laser was born. This invention is a brilliant thing because it has helped do all kinds of things. For example we would not be able to point at things far away if it wasn't for the laser. This is a smart invention because it also helps to cure injuries, cut things open, and depilate. In basic terms, a laser is any device that creates a narrow, intense beam of light, then amplifies that beam. We all think its a brilliant invention and hopefully it will evolve into a bigger, better machine.

We think this oil spill is very sad and at the same time verry important for the world. It is sad because we as a world are using to much petrolium and it is sad the loss of that much of petrolim. And we think this is important because even doh it is not so good for our planet petrolium is verry usefull and it is shame this amount of it is getting lost. Plus it is verry contaminating to have thousands of gallos of petrolium spill in our sea every day.

Stopping Gulf Coast oil leak could take weeks

Stopping Gulf Coast oil leak could take weeks

The goverment has many people working in way to stop the leaking. they already found three possible solutions. The first one is to send remote controled submarines to active the Blowout preventer, but it should have activated the day of the explosion, so it will onl work if crews get it to work, which will be very hard. the second option is called stopgap, this consist of putting a chamber that will capture the crude and send it to a boat above, but this one is preventive, it will works for some time until the third option is done. The third option consists of making a relief well, this means that the company will make a new well that will intercept the failing well and then it will send concrete to close it.
