"Peter Head, the Arup director in charge of the first eco-city, at Dongtan near Shanghai, said: 'We are going to help establish a model of how a sustainable city works,"
Hmm!
Does that mean there's going to be a city in
China where you can breathe the air and drink
the tap water?
That would be a first.

Poor Pluto. Last year they said it should no longer be considered a planet. But there was such an uproar they decided to reinstate Pluto as our ninth planet.
It's traditional!
I feel we should wait until we know about how planets behave in other solar systems. Do most of them orbit along the same plane, or are they scattered every which way? Is there anything like a Kuiper Belt or an Oort Cloud in their outer regions?
With any luck in the year 2015 the new probe will be sending back tons of new data about Pluto and all it's neighbors. Chances are allot of theories are headed for the trash heap. clyde T. would love it!

Who set the price? Was it Quark? What do they think we're made of? Latinim?
