Taiwan Gas Explosion
Deadly explosions caused by a gas leak overnight killed at least 25 people and injured 257 in the southern Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung, according to government officials.
Underground explosions in Taiwan's second-largest city triggered fires that ripped off manhole covers on roads and cratered large boulevards, local television footage showed. Roads exploded with flames, overturning cars and collapsing houses. Many streets are still littered with rubble and impassible by ambulances.

Thank you. Thank you, Thank
you so much
Tonight, more than 200 years
after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of
perfecting our union moves forward.
It moves forward because of
you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over
the war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths
of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will
pursue our own individual dreams, we are an AMERICAN family, and we rise of
fall together as one nation and as one people.
Tonight, in this election,
you, the AMERICAN people, remarked us that while our road has been hard, while
our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way
back, and we know in our hearts that for the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, the best
is yet to come.
I want to thank every
AMERICAN who participated in this election. Whether you voted for the very
first time or waited in line for a very long time by the way we have to fix
that. Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone, whether you held
an OBAMA sign or ROMNEY sign, you made you voice heard and you made difference.
I just
spoke with Governor ROMNEY and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard
fought campaign. We may have battled fiercely, but it’s only because we love
this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future, from George to
Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to AMERICA
through public service and that is a legacy that we honor and applaud tonight.
In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Governor ROMNEY to
talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.
I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, AMERICA’s happy warriors, the best vice president anybody could ever hope for, JOE BIDEN and I wouldn’t be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago. Let me say this publicity. Michelle, I have never loved you more. I have never been prouder to watch the rest AMERICA fall in love with you too as our nation’s first lady.

Sasha and
Maila, before our very eyes, you’re growing up to become two strong, smart,
beautiful young women, just like your mom. As so proud of you guys. But I will
say that for now, one dog’s probably enough.
To the
best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics, the best , the
best ever some of you were new this time around,and some of you have been at my
side since the very beginning. But all of you are family. No matter what you do
or where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we made together
and you will have the lifelong appreciation of a graeful president.
Thank you for believing all the way to every hill to
every valley. You lifted me up the whole day and I will always be grateful for
everything that you’ve done and all the incredible work that you’ve put in.Continue Reading: http://newamericamedia.org

NASA's Mars science rover Curiosity
PASADENA, California (Reuters) - NASA's Mars science rover Curiosity performed a daredevil descent through pink Martian skies late on Sunday to clinch an historic landing inside an ancient crater, ready to search for signs the Red Planet may once have harbored key ingredients for life.
Mission controllers burst into applause and cheers as they received signals confirming that the car-sized rover had survived a perilous seven-minute descent NASA called the most elaborate and difficult feat in the annals of robotic spaceflight.
Engineers said the tricky landing sequence, combining a giant parachute with a rocket-pack that lowered the rover to the Martian surface on a tether, allowed for zero margin for error.
"I can't believe this. This is unbelievable," enthused Allen Chen, the deputy head of the rover's descent and landing team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory near Los Angeles.
Moments later, Curiosity beamed back its first three images from the Martian surface, one of them showing a wheel of the vehicle and the rover's shadow cast on the rocky terrain.
NASA put the official landing time of Curiosity, touted as the first full-fledged mobile science laboratory sent to a distant world, at 10:32 p.m. Pacific time (1:32 a.m. EDT/0532 GMT).
The landing marked a much-welcome success and a major milestone for a U.S. space agency beset by budget cuts and the recent cancellation of its space shuttle program, NASA's centerpiece for 30 years.
The $2.5 billion Curiosity project, formally called the Mars Science Laboratory, is NASA's first astrobiology mission since the 1970s-era Viking probes.
"It's an enormous step forward in planetary exploration. Nobody has ever done anything like this," said John Holdren, the top science advisor to President Barack Obama, who was visiting JPL for the event. "It was an incredible performance."
Obama himself issued a statement hailing the Curiosity landing as "an unprecedented feat of technology that will stand as a point of national pride far into the future."
"It proves that even the longest of odds are no match for our unique blend of ingenuity and determination," he said.
