This morning, Police with Bomb detecting dogs scattered through Harvard University in Cambridge. The reports are that four buildings on the campus are littered with bombs. The Science center and three other halls are the suspected buildings. The blocks surrounding the University have been shut down, closing down all traffic in the area. Everyone has been evacuated from the campus, as people say they kept a 'cool' mood throughout the situation. At 9:33 am, the school sent out an emergency alert to everyone on campus, then allowing police forces to respond. No word has come out yet if there were actually bombs or not.

Uruguay is to legalize Marijuana
Uruguay is to legalize marijuana through it;s government this week. What this means, is that Uruguay will become the first country to legalize the drug for production, sale & consumption. All that has to be done is the signing of the bill by president Jose Mujica. Mujica has been a long time supporter of legalizing the drug. He is the one that introduced the proposal to the government only a year ago, and having the act signed into action this past July. He claims that legalizing the drug will cut drug trafficking. This will also lower the price of the drug on the black market, which over time will destroy that economy.

Koala Mating Calls
Scientists doing research on Koalas, have found that they use additional vocal cords to produce low-toned noises during their mating season. These long bellowing calls are continuous while inhaling and exhaling for the male Koalas. The scientists say that no other animal on earth has these extra vocal cords. Specifically, it's the only organ other than the Larynx that creates sound for animals. This organ is found on the outside of the vocal cords, stretching from the larynx, all the way up to the top of the oral and nasl cavities. They are know searching if other animals have this unique organ, or if its solely to the Koala.
