Where And Why Humans Made Skates Out Of Animal Bones
As happened later for skis and bicycles, I am convinced that we first made ice skates in order to limit the energy required for our daily journeys". Formenti and Minetti did their experiments on an ice rink by the Alps, where they measured the energy consumption of people skating on bones. Through mathematical models and computer simulations of 240 ten-kilometre journeys, their research study shows that in winter the use of bone skates would have limited the energy requirements of Finnish people by 10%. On the other hand, the advantage given by the use of skates in other North European countries would be only about 1%. Subsequent studies performed by Formenti and Minetti have shown how fast and how far people could skate in past epochs, from 3000BC to date.

Mayor nabs alleged burglar with bare hands
OGDEN, Utah, Oct. 24 The mayor of Ogden, Utah, is clearly not one to be trifled with if his capture of a suspected burglar on Wednesday is any indication.
Ogden Mayor Matthew Godfrey told the Deseret Morning News that when he heard a noise just outside his house early in the morning, he immediately leaped into action and eventually captured a suspect with his bare hands.
"We heard somebody trying to come in our side door, so I jumped out of bed and tried to see who it was," Godfrey said. "Then I heard somebody at the back door."
After checking on his family members, the mayor allegedly saw someone leaving his shed with one of his family's bicycles and reacted.
"I just ran right the side doors and he was heading across the front lawn riding a bike of ours," he said.
C.U. Republicans Call for New Gun Policy
We hope people take this event seriously and understand our logical and thoughtful arguments," Salem said. Well aware that many critics of concealed carry feel that an abundance of guns on campus would promote violence rather than limit it, Salem asserted, “It's not the guns that kill people, it's people."

According to CNN, Utah is currently the only state where guns can be legally permitted on all campuses. In Colorado, students are allowed to carry guns on all campuses besides the University of Colorado at Boulder, where the administration has applied to rezone the campus as a restricted area.

A jury convicted a Carnegie man yesterday of fatally stabbing his roommate and beheading, dismembering and eviscerating him before concealing the body in a shallow grave. James Monroe Baldwin Jr., 24, showed no emotion when the panel of seven men and five women returned guilty verdicts for first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse. The jurors had been asked to consider an insanity defense.
