Eahd Rallies Against Arizona Law
Firefighters were hoping Friday to fully contain a small lightning-sparked blaze that temporarily threatened dozens of homes in an area that has been besieged by wildfires in recent weeks.Lightning-laced thunderstorms rolled through the area east of Los Angeles on Thursday, igniting a half-dozen new blazes but failing to bring heavy rains that could help douse the flames.A wildfire quic
stanley cup kly burned 250 acres, or less than half a square mile, in Joshua Tree National Park, said state forestry department Capt. Marc DeRosier.The blaze came as close as a mile to the homes before winds turned the flames back to the park, he said. Some residents voluntarily evacuated, he said. It was 80 percent contained and full containment was expected Friday.An afternoon storm cell unleashed heavy rain in some areas of the San

In San Bernardino National Forest, about 200 firefighters working a vast complex of fires were pulled off the lines and ordered to safer areas over concerns of lightning and flash flooding.The fires, roughly 38 square miles in size, were ignited by lightning July 9 and burned in craggy canyonlands about 100 miles east of Los Angeles

When she plays the sound frequencies, the robot reacts as in the video above. The question is, of course, why Gale is investigating the relationship between the brain and the way that brainless slime molds engage in cellular communication. By assigning something like analogous emotions to the slime mold movements, perhaps she can get a better sense of how the slime mold learns.
