Mirrors finally bring winter sun to Rjukan in Norway
The people of Rjukan in Norway are celebrating the installation of giant mirrors, which have finally brought winter sunshine to their town centre.
Rjukan lies in a deep valley, and during the six months of winter the surrounding mountains cast a shadow over the town even at midday.
About 1,000 people, among them children in sunglasses, cheered when the main square became bathed in sun.
The idea of using mirrors in Rjukan was first proposed 100 years ago.

I thought he was ghey?
rugs giant Johnson & Johnson has agreed to pay more than $2.2bn (£1.4bn) to settle allegations over its marketing techniques, the Justice Department has said.
The firm is alleged to have paid incentives to doctors and pharmacies to promote three of its medicines.
These included anti-psychotic drugs Risperdal and Invega, as well as heart drug Natrecor.
The firm also allegedly promoted the drugs for uses not officially allowed.
While US doctors can prescribe medicines as they see fit, pharmaceutical companies cannot advocate any use of their drugs that has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
It is the third biggest settlement involving a drugs firm in US history.
It is intended to resolve both civil and criminal allegations involving the drugs at both state and federal level across the US.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Skydivers jumped to safety after a plane lost its wings and caught on fire Saturday afternoon following a mid-air collision with another plane in northern Wisconsin, reports say.
RELATED: Skydiver Talks About Jump To Safety
The two planes collided at 12,000 feet near the Richard I. Bong Airport in Superior, Wis., .
Authorities say the two planes were carrying a group of nine skydivers for a tandem jump. But when the planes reached 12,000 feet, the trail plane came over the top of the lead plane and got caught up in its turbulence. The planes then collided, and the lead plane lost its wings and started on fire, the report said.
Those inside the burning plane were able to skydive to safety. The pilot used an emergency parachute to escape. Emergency crews brought the pilot, who suffered minor injuries upon landing, to an area hospital.
The trail plane landed safely.
The Federal Aviation Administration will investigate the collision.
Superior, Wis., is opposite Duluth on Superior Bay.

[h=1]Billions of Earth-like planets in Milky Way: study[/h]
Space is vast, but it may not be so lonely after all: A study finds the Milky Way is teeming with billions of planets that are about the size of Earth, orbit stars just like our sun, and exist in the Goldilocks zone — not too hot and not too cold for life.
Astronomers using NASA data have calculated for the first time that in our galaxy alone, there are at least 8.8 billion stars with Earth-size planets in the habitable temperature zone.
The study was published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
For perspective, that's more Earth-like planets than there are people on Earth.
As for what it says about the odds that there is life somewhere out there, it means "just in our Milky Way galaxy alone, that's 8.8 billion throws of the biological dice," said study co-author Geoff Marcy, a longtime planet hunter from the University of California at Berkeley.
The next step, scientists say, is to look for atmospheres on these planets with powerful space telescopes that have yet to be launched. That would yield further clues to whether any of these planets do, in fact, harbor life.
[h=2]'Deafening silence'[/h]The findings also raise a blaring question, Marcy said: If we aren't alone, why is "there a deafening silence in our Milky Way galaxy from advanced civilizations?"
In the Milky Way, about 1 in 5 stars that are like our sun in size, colourand age have planets that are roughly Earth's size and are in the habitable zone where life-crucial water can be liquid, according to intricate calculations based on four years of observations from NASA's now-crippled Kepler telescope.
If people on Earth could only travel in deep space, "you'd probably see a lot of traffic jams," Bill Borucki, NASA's chief Kepler scientist, joked Monday.
The Kepler telescope peered at 42,000 stars, examining just a tiny slice of our galaxy to see how many planets like Earth are out there. Scientists then extrapolated that figure to the rest of the galaxy, which has hundreds of billions of stars.
For the first time, scientists calculated — not estimated — what per cent of stars that are just like our sun have planets similar to Earth: 22 per cent, with a margin of error of plus or minus 8 percentage points.
Kepler scientist Natalie Batalha said there is still more data to pore over before this can be considered a final figure.
There are about 200 billion stars in our galaxy, with 40 billion of them like our sun, Marcy said. One of his co-authors put the number of sun-like stars closer to 50 billion, meaning there would be at least 11 billion planets like ours.
Based on the 1-in-5 estimate, the closest Earth-size planet that is in the habitable temperature zone and circles a sun-like star is probably within 112 trillion kilometres of Earth, Marcy said.
And the 8.8 billion Earth-size planets figure is only a start. That's because scientists were looking only at sun-like stars, which are not the most common stars.
An earlier study found that 15 per cent of the more common red dwarf stars have Earth-size planets that are close-in enough to be in the not-too-hot, not-too-cold Goldilocks Zone.
Put those together and that's probably 40 billion right-size, right-place planets, Marcy said.
And that's just our galaxy. There are billions of other galaxies.
Scientists at a Kepler science conference Monday said they have found 833 new candidate planets with the space telescope, bringing the total of planets they've spotted to 3,538, but most aren't candidates for life.
Kepler has identified only 10 planets that are about Earth's size circling sun-like stars and are in the habitable zone, including one called Kepler 69-c.
Because there are probably hundreds of planets missed for every one found, the study did intricate extrapolations to come up with the 22 percent figure — a calculation that outside scientists say is fair.
"Everything they've done looks legitimate," said MIT astronomer SaraSeager.

READING, Pa. - November 5, 2013 (WPVI) -- Authorities in Berks County say two robbery suspects were shot and killed by a concerned citizen outside a Reading convenience store.
Friends and family of the dead suspects have identified the two as 24-year-old William Medina and 18-year-old Robert DeCarr.
They tried to portray the two as good hard working men. However, others in the rough Reading neighborhood say the two got what they deserved.

Dad call cops on his son. Cop shoot son.

"Most were charged with watching illicit South Korean TV dramas, and some with prostitution."
Wow, publicly executed for that. :shocking:
