But not where they were expected to show up. Electric Lake is Utah's first body of water where the damaging, nonnative mussels have been confirmed, state wildlife officials said Wednesday. http://www.ibtimes.com/data/articleimgs/178670-invasive-mussels.jpg http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20081120/invasive-mussel-confirmed-in-utahs-electric-lake.htm http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20081120/invasive-mussel-confirmed-in-utahs-electric-lake.htm Thu, 20 Nov 2008 08:05:55 EST Researchers studying a rare and endangered species of penguin have uncovered a previously unknown species that disappeared about 500 years ago. The research suggests that the first humans in New Zealand hunted the newly found Waitaha penguin to extinction by 1500, about 250 years after their arrival on the islands. But the loss of the Waitaha allowed another kind of penguin to thrive--the yellow-eyed species that now also faces extinction, Philip Seddon of Otago University, a co-author of the study, said Wednesday. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20081119/scientists-find-new-penguin-extinct-for-500-years.htm Wed, 19 Nov 2008 03:25:36 EST Fixing the world's largest atom smasher will cost at least 25 million francs ($21 million) and may take until early summer, its operator said Monday. An electrical failure shut down the Large Hadron Collider on Sept. 19, nine days after the $10 billion machine started up with great fanfare. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20081117/repairs-to-swiss-particle-collider-will-cost-25m.htm Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:01:26 EST Funeral-service company Service Corp.

The vast majority of the cows and chickens served at McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's were raised on corn, and sizzling corn oil cooked many of the fries, according to a new study in Tuesday's issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20081111/corn-its-whats-for-dinner.htm Tue, 11 Nov 2008 08:17:42 EST This year's ozone hole over Antarctica was the fifth biggest on record, reaching a maximum area of 10.5 million square miles in September, NASA says.
