A man who repeatedly tried to stab his pregnant wife was sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison, and must serve the whole term. Apparently he was on Ketamine (Special K) which is an animal tranquilizer that become popular in clubs, raves, and other parties. The woman had several cuts and was also strangled, but survived and gave birth to a healthy baby boy in January. She has trouble using her hands because she was cut there, and hurt some major tendons, and will probably have trouble using them the rest of her life.

Wow, why can't people just be chill if they're gonna do drugs.

Fears of a hard economic landing in China pushed shares of internet firms towards 52-week lows in the early stages of 2012. However recent measures from China's government have restored some optimism regarding the direction of China's economy.

A British astrophysicist thinks that the black black hole at the center of our galaxy is eating Asteroids, daily and may have already consumed a planet!
This image shows doomed asteroids being ripped apart by extremely tidal forces.
According to Kastytis Zubovas, of the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom, there would have to be a huge number of asteroids to cause these sorts of flairs that they're seeing on the X-ray telescope placed to watch over the black hole.

I love astronomy!
