Mars and Mercury Formed From Planetary Scraps
All rocky planets are thought to of evolved out of a dusty layer around the young sun almost four-and-a-half million years ago. A new theory states that Mars and Mercury were simply left-overs from Earth and Venus. If they all formed the same way, from the same source, they would have almost the same mass and revolution. However, only Earth and Venus seem to be products of this theory since Mercury and Mars have different characteristics. Could these rocky planets just be by products Earth and Venus?
Bizarre New Species Found In Deep Ocean Waters
South of Tasmania, a new species found recently by a under-water vehicle. 13,143 under water a 'Sea Squirt' emerged into discovery. Researchers were on this expedition trying to link global warming to the death of coral reefs, although the discovery made the trip worth-while. Most species in that area are autotrophs, but this species separates itself. This "Squirt" is a carnivorous predator. This discovery could very well change our outlook on deep sea life.
Giant Toxic Coal Ash Spill Threatens Animals
The recent sludge spill in Tennessee is threatening not only humans, but many species of animals as well. Toxins have been accumulating in animals due to the growing number of toxic spills. Officials are currently monitoring the bio-hazards of the area. Even though people say these situations are under control-- could these toxic spills be the beginning of the end for species?
Lost "Sleeping Beauty" Mummy Formula Found
An almost 90-year-old body was recently found practically perfectly preserved. Fortunately, the body was found with the 'secret recipe' of the mummification. This is so valuable because this body appears to be simply taking a nap in a box, which has never been discovered in a body that has been lifeless for so long. Perhaps this discovery could be the answer to the questions about preservation we have asked for hundreds of years.

Restaurant Review
The Freaky Tiki Restaurant of Tongue River High School is a delicious way to make some hardworking cookers some money for their programs and avoid the consistently disgusting school lunches. Not only is the food great, but the quality of the food is impeccable. Your lunch is served to you in a three courses including a salad, entree and desert. The restaurant has a tropical feel, and a relaxing mood. It fits perfectly into our 30 minutes of lunch without giving us boring extra time, or making us late for our study lab. The Freaky Tiki Restaurant is something TRHS should be proud and grateful to have.
One reason for wanting to go to the Freaky Tiki in the first place is that our regular lunches do not even compare. Also, you get a three course, very filling meal for only five dollars. A meal of equivalent value would cost almost 20 dollars at a regular restaurant. The mood is also set very appealingly with a mural of the beach, and a fish tank containing fish. Ocean simulating sounds coming from a small boom box also help relax the guests. Furthermore, for people that find themselves bored during the lunch half hour, socialize and indulging in the Freaky Tiki Restaurant would fill this free time, and be taken right into study lab. Since we have an on-campus lunch time, this is the closest thing students have to getting away and eating good food. Anyone who wants to relax with a quiet mood on a Wednesday afternoon would want to eat here, regardless of the quality of the food.
The foods class of TRHS does a great job of preparing a delicious and wholesome meal of diversity. The first course is usually a salad, which is changed in type weekly. This is served immediately after arrival. As soon as you polish off your salad, a plate of food steaming with aroma is placed in front of you. The entree is served in a very generous portion, and absolutely unbelievable in taste. The food has a certain home cooked taste. A tasted never experienced in the cafeteria. Just in time, desert comes in server by server. The desert is so good you might want to steal the recipe. However, it is so rich in taste, it takes the strong-stomached to be able to finish it off. While eating all of this appetizing food, you get a glass of kool-aid that you never see the bottom of, because of the servers coming in with pitchers of refills. It is rare to get this kind of service at a restaurant, and for only five dollars. The Freaky Tiki Restaurant gives great service to any and all guests.
At Tongue River, it is hard to get what you want when it comes to lunch time. The Freaky Tiki delivers. Not only is the mood almost perfect, but the food is almost as good as it gets. Since we don't have much time for lunch, The Freaky Tiki gives that "getaway" feeling for a brief part of the day. It would be foolish for people to not take advantage of this restaurant at least once during the course of the second semester.

nationalgeographic.com review
Everyone would recognize a National Geographic magazine if they saw it at a glance. It's the magazine that the reader in your family collects, or is piled by the years in your teacher's class room. This magazine is collected by millions because of it is a reliable resource for all types of research. However there are the conservatives out there who simply visit the fantastic National Geographic website. It’s like the magazine, only the feeling that everything is at your fingertips grows every second you spend gazing in amazement at the screen. Simply type NationalGeographic.com into your browser and you are in for an unforgettable experience.
The appealing homepage is popping with exciting new topics and theories that are hard to resist. Not only are the articles written by people who are more than reliable-- the unbelievable photographs of everything imaginable create imagery far beyond possible expectations. The most appealing part of the website is the mini-slide-show that gives examples of today's new topics complete with appealing photography. Today it would include topics like; Trophy Hunting is Altering species, Venomous Mammal Filmed, Stunning Erosion Photos, Inauguration Guide, and Arctic Animal Screensaver Photos. All of which would be more than useful for someone wanting to read into a new idea, or simply take advantage of the fabulous photos provided on this website. Although it is called "National" Geographic, the site discusses geography from all over earth and space. For those of us who are fascinated by their globe-trotting researcher's work, reading into any subject that deals with anything in the universe is as easy as clapping your hands. For example, I wanted to know more about the Yellowstone volcanoes. I simply typed Yellowstone Volcanoes into the search bar, and instantly I had 970 results. All of the results came from articles published online and or the magazine. Each article is complete with photos, for the visually excited readers. If you want to research an animal, the information provided with sounds the animal makes, and videos of the animal in its natural habitat. You could write an entire research paper, use only sources from the National Geographic site, and still have the paper be complete beyond satisfaction.
So if you want to research something you are passionately interested in, or just have a few questions about, I would definitely recommend NationalGeographic.com. Also, if you are tired of looking at the same pictures you have as your desktop or screensaver, this site includes photos that will directly fit your screen perfectly and be set to it with the simple click of your mouse. If it is just too much of a hassle, or payment to keep up with the magazine, the website will more than suffice. NationalGeographic.com will be the most interesting, amazing, unbelievable, unforgettable, and eye-appealing stop you will ever make on your web-surfing experience.
