Moose Attack

Two Colorado women had the encounter of a lifetime this weekend, when they were both trampled by a bull moose.  Jacqueline Boron and Ellen Divis were hiking near the city of Black Hawk early Sunday morning.  They had their dogs with them, but this was not enough to scare away the charging moose.  Within a matter of seconds, Boron was knocked unconscious and injured badly.  Divis was able to get away with minimal damage and phoned rescue services immediately.  Doron was taken to the hospital and ended up with four broken rips, eight staples in her head, two broken wrists, and about 20 stitches in her legs.  A word of advice from Boron is "Don't hike when you know there's moose out there."  Such educated and powerful advice should be taken seriously.

B.A. Baldwin

Actor Alec Baldwin was arrested Tuesday for apparently riding his bicycle against the flow of traffic near his New York home.  When police stopped Baldwin, he became agitated and began yelling at the officers.  The police then asked Baldwin for his identification, but he didn't have it with him.  Baldwin was then taken into custody.  After being released, he went to Twitter to voice his opinion on the incident.  He posted, "New York City is a mismanaged carnival of stupidity that is desperate for revenue and anxious to criminalize behavior once thought benign."  The "30 Rock" star has clashed with authorities before.  This past August, Baldwin was also in contact with the police when both he and a photographer called the authorities after a scuffle.  Baldwin argued that the photographer insulted and was too close for comfort.

Finding MH370 becomes more difficult

Officials from China, Malaysia, and Australia met Wednesday to determine what further measurements will be taken in order to find flight MH370.  After over 60 days of no meaningful evidence, these new strategies will be far more expensive and very difficult.  Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Tuss made a statement earlier in the week stating, "We know the water is very deep, and for the next stage involving sonar and other autonomous vehicles, potentially at very great depths, we need to have an understanding of the ocean floor to be able to undertake that kind of effectively and safely."  The next phase will focus on about 40,000 square miles of the Indian Ocean, which may take up to six to eight months.  The main reason this area is so difficult to maneuver around is because it has never been mapped.
