Researchers use warm and cold fronts to predict the movement of tornadoes, but now they may be looking to the seas. New research suggests looking at the Pacific Ocean's temperature could be an effective way to determine the "type and location" of tornado activity in the U.S., a University of Missouri-Columbia news release reported.

The first 24 hour automated library in the United States was installed in Norman at Irving Recreation Center.

We often hear about melting sea ice, rising tides and bleached coral reefs, but climate change is poised to reverberate through a broader swath of the marine environment than these headline issues alone might suggest.

For years, energy analysts had been anticipating an imminent decline in global oil supplies. Suddenly, they're singing a new song: Fossil fuels growing scarce? Don't even think about it! The news couldn't be better: fossil fuels will become ever more abundant. And all that talk about climate change? Don't worry about it, they chant.

What's the most badass picture of you as a kid? Maybe that time you pretended to lift a truck that was having a tire changed. Or that other time your family ran into Mike Tyson on vacation and you pretended to knock him out. Both these instances ended in tears.
