Japan gets to hunt all the cool monsters...

Monster Hunter Frontier G is being ported to the Wii U. Frontier G is an online-only version of Monster Hunter 2 with additional content added.

The game's service will become available in Japan on November 20 for Wii U, and players will be able to take part in a free beta test for a week before the game releases.

Producer Kazunori Sugiura stated that they're "discussing something fun that [they] could do with the Wii U GamePad or Nintendo 3DS." The MMO-style game originally launched for the PC in 2007, and there is currently no word on whether or not the game will release outside of Japan.

Sediment trapped behind dams makes them 'hot spots' for greenhouse gas emissions

[unable to retrieve full-text content]With the "green" reputation of large hydroelectric dams already in question, scientists are reporting that millions of smaller dams on rivers around the world make an important contribution to the greenhouse gases linked to global climate change. Their study shows that more methane than previously believed bubbles out of the water behind small dams.

Rich People Are Full of Different Chemicals Than Poor People

Rich People Are Full of Different Chemicals Than Poor People

This may not come as a huge surprise, but life is different for the rich and the poor. Rich people relax by eating oysters. Poor people relax by smoking cigarettes. At least that's what we're led to believe based on a new study about how the presence of certain chemicals can indicate how rich or poor a person is.

7 injured, 3 of them critically, after fiery blasts rock Florida propane plant

Tyler Mackenzie Photography

A series of explosions engulfed a propane plant in flames in Tavares, Florida, late Monday. This photo was taken at 11.36 p.m. from a location between 1-2 miles from the blast.

By M. Alex Johnson, Staff Writer, NBC News

A combination of human error and equipment failure might have caused a series of explosions that engulfed a propane plant in flames in Tavares, Fla., late Monday, injuring eight people and forcing evacuations for a half-mile around the scene, authorities said.

The explosions began as a fire spread through the Blue Rhino plant,?near Orlando,?about 10:30 p.m. ET, Lake County sheriff's Lt. John Herrell told reporters early Tuesday.

Plant officials say all employees of the plant are accounted for. All of those injured were in the plant when the fire started.

Tavares Fire Chief?Richard Keith said Tuesday morning that sabotage is not expected. The fire marshal is on site to do a full investigation.?

Residents of the area told NBC station WESH of Orlando that flames from the explosions could be seen for several miles, but there were no reports of damage to the surrounding buildings. ?

Flames from the Blue Rhino propane plant in Tavares, Fla., seen from the air Monday night.

"It sounds like bombs are going off," Norma Haygood, a nearby resident, told WESH.

No deaths were immediately reported, Herrell said. Three male victims were in critical condition, the Orlando Regional Medical Center, told NBC News.?

Two were airlifted; a third was transported by ambulance. ?

Authorities initially declared a one-mile evacuation zone around the plant, but they later scaled that back to a half-mile, effective until 6 a.m. ET.?

"We feel that there is no longer any danger" to the area around the plant, Herrell said.

Twenty-four or 26 people were scheduled to work the night shift at the 33,000-acre facility, according to plant managers, Herrell said. Authorities initially said 15 people were unaccounted for, but Herrell later said the company's management said that they had accounted for all of the people it knew were in the plant at the time of the initial explosion.

Some of them showed up at others location, according to Blue Rhino, Herrell said. He said he had no further information on where the others were.

The plant housed about 53,000 20-pound propane cylinders, Herrell said.

"They store the propane cylinders on different parts of the property, and as the fire spread, there were more and more explosions," he said.?

Explosions continued until 1 a.m. ET Tuesday, roughly 2? hours after the first blasts were reported.

Don Ingram, former plant production supervisor at the plant, said his son felt one of the explosions in their home 6 miles away.

Ingram told WESH that the back area of the plant is "lined with propane tanks stacked four or five high on plastic pallets."

"I don't think you fight this fire," he said. "It's just too dangerous."

Blue Rhino is a subsidiary of Ferrellgas Partners, the second-largest distributor of propane in the U.S.

1. More US Soldiers Committed Suicide Than Died in Combat ? Top ...

For the second year (2010) in a row, more US soldiers killed themselves (468) than died in combat (462). ?If you? know the one thing that causes people to commit suicide, please let us know,? General Peter Chiarelli told the Army Times, ?because we don?t know.?? Suicide is a tragic but predictable human reaction to being asked to kill ? and watch your friends be killed ? particularly when it?s for a war based on lies. ?Perhaps being required to bag the mangled flesh of fellow soldiers could be another reason that some are committing suicide.

Body Bagging? ever heard the term?? Marines in the Corps?s Mortuary Affairs unit at Camp Al Taqaddum, Iraq, are assigned the job of collecting and cataloging the bodies of dead Marines. They sift through the remains and effects, from prom photos to suicide notes and love letters, and put them into a bag, then into a metal box and then into a refrigerator to await the flight home. One soldier, Jess Goodell, recounts a Marine brought into the unit still breathing. She frantically called to her superiors, who replied simply, ?Wait.? She watched while he died. When she returned to the US, Goodell, like many others, was diagnosed with deep depression, substance abuse, PTSD and anxiety.
