LOS ANGELES - The apparent discovery of ice near Mars' north pole has scientists asking: Did the frozen water melt at some point in the planet's long history to create an environment friendly for life?
The Phoenix spacecraft exposed bright white crumbs at the bottom of a trench while digging near Mars' north pole earlier this week. The bits disappeared in new photos sent back on Thursday, convincing scientists that the magic act was evidence of ice that vaporized after being exposed to the sun.
"The fact that there's ice there doesn't tell you anything about whether it's habitable," chief scientist Peter Smith of the University of Arizona said Friday during a teleconference from Tuscon.I think it is a very important thing because as we all know sciencetist had calculated that this earth we no longer can be stay by the creature one day. As we can feel now a day there are many problem had occur such as pollution and oil problem.In conclusion one day we maybe live in Mars and be friend with aliens.

My hobby
I'm sorry to be late.
My hobby is to watch a TV program. I watch dramas, varieties, news, cookings. I often watch "Kamimura Emiko's Osyaberi Cooking"and"Tetsuko's Room".
When I moved to Hirosaki, I was surprised because Aomori didn't have a TV station of Fuji network affiliates. But I have been already accustomed to it.
By the way, nowadays, "HEROES" began to be broadcasted. "HEROES" is a popular TV drama and famous for Masi Oka in United States. Do you know Masi Oka? He is so nice character. Please watch it once.http://www.heroes-tv.jp/

Quotation from the news
First you have to find some news. That's why the Japan Times, Japan Today and Google News are in the sidebar. Click on them and find some news that interests you about Japan or maybe about the whole world. I have Google News customized for my own interests, so I can easily get news that interests me. It might not interest you, but you should find your own news for this assignment anyway. Google News tells me I would be interested in Business Week's article about the iPhone.
I guess I am, but not much. I like news articles to tell me things I don't know.
I was more interested to note that the obscure dictatorship of Equatorial Guinea had made the top of Google News. The top story seems to be about how the former colonial power Spain had backed a failed coup attempt.
It's hard to think of a better country, at least in Africa, for someone to overthrow. The dictatorship is in the category with Myanmar, North Korea and others for the suffering that its people have undergone. A large percentage of the people are refugees in neighboring countries. But this news doesn't tell me much that I didn't already know, except that Spain might have been involved in an attempted coup d'etat.
How about the search for the missing in the recent earthquake in Japan? That certainly interested me, and I thought I'd share the latest with you.

The most immediate impact of the iPhone has been on hardware design, encouraging a rash of imitators with big touchscreens. That includes the new Samsung Instinct, which Sprint Nextel (S) has been billing as an iPhone killer. Even Research In Motion (RIMM), whose executives have ridiculed the iPhone's lack of a physical keyboard, is rumored to be developing a touch-based BlackBerry. (The company declined to comment on future product plans.)
Such efforts largely miss the point. Certainly, the beautiful hardware design adds tremendously to the emotional appeal of Apple products. But it's the software that makes the iPhone, the Mac, and the iPod stand out from the pack of wannabes.

une 19 (Bloomberg) -- Spain, South Africa and the U.S. approved a bid to topple Equatorial Guinea's president in 2004 after oil companies said the nation was unstable, Agence France- Presse reported, citing a Briton accused over the failed coup.
Simon Mann, 55, told a court in the capital, Malabo, that Spain, the former colonial ruler, and the other two countries welcomed a change of government, AFP said. Spanish Foreign Ministry spokesman Manuel Cacho denied the allegation, according to AFP.

SENDAI--The Miyagi prefectural police continued their search Wednesday for a couple who went missing near a waterfall in Kurihara, Miyagi Prefecture, after the Iwate-Miyagi Inland Earthquake on Saturday.
The couple and nine other people are still missing. The police and the Self-Defense Forces are working to find them.
Masahiro Mori, 61, from Izumi Ward, Sendai, and his wife, Yoko, 59, were last seen Saturday morning near a suspension footbridge leading to the Shiraito-no-taki waterfall.
A 52-year-old company employee from Tochigi Prefecture said he met a couple that fit the description of Mori and his wife just before the earthquake. The man also sent photos of the collapsed bridge to The Yomiuri Shimbun.

My hobby
My hobby is reading books. I read books when I find interesting books. Therefore, there is no special writer for me. I forget time when I read books. I often read books all days. I am happy when I concentrate on something like this. Reading books teaches me various ways of thinking and how to express.

Today, I will tell you my hobby. My hobby is to play a musical instrument; a contrabass.
I like playing a musical instrument because I can get and give a lot of power when I do. For example, after classes and examinations, I am very tired mentally. When I feel exhausted, I always play my contrabass. This is because I can get over fatigue easily by doing and get power to tomorrow. In other words, playing it sets my mind at ease. Moreover, music that I play can give all the people a lot of power. I have my friend’s words that I can’t forget. My friend was in an accident and he had to go into a hospital so he was very disappointed. I wanted to encourage him, so I played my contrabass for him. This performance was poor but he said to me that this was fantastic and he never failed to heal his wound. In other words, I think my music can give power to live. Therefore, by playing a musical instrument, I can make myself and others happy so this is my hobby.
If you don't know the contrabass, please read the following site.
A contrabass is very fantastic!
My hobbies
I have many hobbies such as playing and watching sports, reading, watching movies. Then, I’ll write about “Strolling around places I don’t know”.
I took a trip to where I want to go every vocation and there, I choose one town and stroll around the town a day. I have no information about this town like “What is famous in this town”, so what I see, hear and eat there are very fresh to me. This freshness is very important.
Last spring, I went to Kanda, Tokyo and I strolled around the town for example. I go there at least one time a year because there are some of my favorite shops and the town is near the towns I often go. But I found something new in this town again. I encountered “delicious steamed bun” and “Solemn shrine” there. The former is sold at a shop near the station and there is delicious smell of the bun around the shop. The latter was not so big but I felt something magnificent from that. When I found new thing, I feel very excited.
In conclusion, I think the most attractive point of this hobby is that I can feel very excited because I stroll around places I don’t know. Now, I’m thinking about strolling around one town in Fukuoka or Okinawa in this summer!

Hello! How are you? It has been very hot .... I feel weak.
I have many hobbies. Today,I introduce my hobby,playing the piano,to you!
I had been taking the piano lesson for 10 years since I was in elementary school.
In those days,the number of boys who would learn the piano was small.But because I thought the melody coming from the piano was very very wonderful,I decided to take the lesson.
For the first 5 or 6 years,I played only classical music.But gradually,I played modern music which were the soundtrack of some dramas,popular songs and so on.
That’s very fun! I play the piano when I come back to my home.
瞳をとじてby 平井堅、永久にともにby コブクロ、冬のソナタ、ナウシカ、トトロ..... these are some examples of music I play now.
I will be a fan of the piano!

my hobby
My hobby is to read books. I read various books and in particular I like a novel. The book I am reading now is ‘Gulliver’s Travels’. This book is very interesting. In this story a hero of the novel travels over the world and meets various people. In the travel he meets very small people. In contrast he meets very big people, too. Through the travel he experiences many things. While reading the story, I also travel in my mind. From now on I want to read diverse books.
You can read ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ in this site. http://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000912/card4673.html#download
My hobby
Are you interested in any sports? Sport is one of my hobbies. I like non-team games like bowling. However I haven't had much exercise recently, so I would like to go bowling with my friend this summer vacation.In reality, I'm more interested in watching sports than taking part in them. I think that it's fun to watch figure skating on TV. I'm a fan of Nakano Yukari, so I'm looking forward to wathing matches and seeing her beautiful performances.
My hobby
I have several hobbies, playing sports,watching movies, reading books and so on. Today I talk about reading books.
I read many sort of books when I have time. In particular, I like books on history; Japanese history, European history, Chinese history. When I read "Shiki" written by Shibasenn, I was very impressed by many thinkers, Koshi, Sonshi and so on. What they said is useful in my life.
In university, I want to read so many books and go to the places which relate with books I read.
My hobby
My hobby is reading. I liked to read a book about life and a story full of thrills and suspense. Now, I like to read a book about social problems and a book about science. For example, "The seven daughters of eve" is a book of genetics. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA connect human ancestor. It is a interesting book, I think.
I also read comics. Now I read "moyashimon." There are cute bacteria in this comics. It is animated, I believe. You can read it and watch it.

My Hobby
My hobbies are cooking & playing the violins. I have started both of them since I entered this college.
I've not experienced playing the instructors so far. Last Sunday, the concert Hirodai Orchestra I belong to played was held. Many people came to the concert, & the concert was successful. I saw the enthusiastically playing violinists, then I was attracted by them. They played violins, waving their bodies front & rear and their movement was perfectly completed! I want to be like my seniors soon!
In Japan, one of famous violinist is Tarou Hakase. Why not listen to classical musics played by Tarou Hakase?
