George W. Bush Sums Up Trump Inauguration in 5 Words
The remains of Isabel Celis, the 6-year-old who went missing from her Arizona home in 2012, have been found, the Tucson Police Department announced Friday. Investigators found the human remains in a rural area in Pima County, said Tucson Chief of Police Chris Magnus. A portion of those remains were then sent to an out-of-state laboratory for DNA analysis, which confirmed they were the remains of the little girl, Magnus said.
The idea that Mars was once covered in vast oceans is a relatively new theory in the grand scheme of things, but the support evidence has piled up extremely fast. But if Mars was once a watery planet like Earth, where did all that H20 end up? Thanks to new data from NASA's MAVEN spacecraft, scientists now think they've finally figure it out. "We've determined that most of the gas ever present in the Mars atmosphere has been lost to space," Bruce Jakosky, principal investigator of the MAVEN mission, explains. That lost gas - somewhere in the neighborhood of 65% - greatly depleted the planet's atmosphere, causing oceans, lakes, and rivers to dry up as the vital elements were swept away into space by intense radiation and solar wind. The researchers were able to make this determination based on the amount of argon, a noble gas, remains in the Martian atmosphere as compared with the levels that are believed to have once existed there. Atmospheric molecules are thought to have been slowly stripped away over time due to a process known as "sputtering" in which radiation and solar wind from the sun bump, knock, and drag them away from the planet. If life did indeed exist on the surface of Mars at one time, NASA believes that the slowly depleting atmosphere - and the frigid temperatures in brought with it - would have gradually driven it to live primarily underground or in smaller habitable pockets tucked away around the planet. If we're lucky, maybe there's a race of hyper-intelligent mole people still living there.

Atlanta's dreadful rush-hour traffic could be extra nasty for months to come after a raging fire underneath Interstate 85 collapsed an elevated portion of the highway and shut down the heavily traveled route through the heart of the city. Traffic was bumper to bumper on nearby streets as drivers were forced to take a detour Friday, the day after the blaze caused the concrete to crumble. The collapse took place a few miles north of downtown, and the effects could fall most heavily on commuters from Atlanta's densely populated northern suburbs.
The same is true for retirement savings. While it can be difficult to get a clear picture, several studies offer insight into how the average American is doing in terms of retirement savings. Several organizations have found out how Americans are faring with their retirement savings.
Republicans launched an internecine Twitter war on Thursday morning that, as trivial as it sounds, could signal real problems for President Trump’s policy agenda -- particularly the effort to avert a government shutdown that will begin in less than a month unless agreement on a new spending bill is reached. It began early in the morning, when CBS broadcast an interview with House Speaker Paul Ryan. Asked about the Republicans’ failure to pass their plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act last week, Ryan expressed concern about driving Trump into compromise with the Democrats.
