Joplin Fire Chief Mitch Randles said there are areas with large piles of rubble that might hold survivors. “We are still finding individuals. We did rescue seven individuals from underneath rubble yesterday and , of course, we are also finding dead folks as well.” Said mre folks and that is why we are doing these searches. We want to make every opportunity that we can to
find everybody that is in the rubble and that has survived to this point.”Randles said the current sweep involves a slower pace that previous searches and that he plans a fourth search, possibly on Wednesday, using specially trained dogs. “We are searching every structure that has been damaged or destroyed in a more in-depth manner, “he said.” I have dogs and dog handlers coming from all over the country do help us in that effort.”
Joplin City Manager
Mark Rohr said the Red Cross and other volunteer organizations are helping people who were left homeless by the tornado and that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, is on hand to help. “Joplin is a great city. We have suffered a great loss, “said Rohr.” We will recover and we will recover strongly and we have a lot of help and a lot of volunteers to make that easier.”The tornado that struck Joplin was classified by the Natioonal Weather Service as an F – 4, with winds of more than 300 kilometers per hour.

Scandinavians may spend a lot of the winter in darkness but they are the happiest people in Europe, according to a study showed this month. Countries like Denmark and Finland scored highest on the study of happiness in Europe carried out by Cambridge University, which also found that the sunny southern countries of Italy, Portugal and Greece got the least joy out of life.
The survey entitled: "No Man is an Island" showed that countries where people enjoy time with friends and family, have trust in government and national institutions were more likely to be happy than those living in a sunny climate. The study rated respondent on their overall sense of happiness and life satisfaction on a scale of one to 10.
Danes (丹麦人)--who expressed a high level of trust in their politicians and public institutions--came top of the field at 8.3. Italians--who reported lower levels of satisfaction with their national quality of government--came last at 6.49." "Italy, Greece, Portugal, Germany and France report the lowest levels of happiness while the Scandinavian Countries, Netherlands and Luxembourg report the highest," the study said.
Although Europeans are generally four times wealthier than their fathers and grandfathers, their levels of happiness are either equal to or lower than 40 years ago. The study also looked at factors contributing to happiness within countries and surprisingly found that an interest in politics actually increased happiness.
Lead researcher Luisa Corrado said tax cuts and throwing money at social problems appeared to have no effect on the happiness of citizens when compared with government policies which strengthened and supported wider social networks. "People are less naive ( 质朴的) than one would expect, politicians need to adapted their policies and target specific problems in specific areas," she said.

The news that a human embryo(胚胎) has been 16 cloned for the first time has caused mixed reactions(反应).
The 17 was carried out by scientists from the Advanced Cell Technology Inc(ACT), in Massachusetts, US. The group 18 the news on November 25.
This is 19 human being. A clone is alive, it walks, it breathes, said Jamie Grifo, a(n) 20 on the study of cloning at New York University School of Medicine.
“This is a set of cells in a lab that will be used to 21 someone’s life.”
Such research could lead to treatment for 22 such as heart disease, AIDS and even cancer, 23 scientists.
Despite high hopes from other scientists, the news raised concerns immediately from religious and political leaders. Several 24 in the US do not allow human cloning. President George W. Bush also made it clear that he is 25 any type of human cloning. However, the scientists at ACT said they have no interest at present in 26 an early embryo into 27 .
Animal have been cloned repeatedly since Dolly, the sheep 28 in 1997. And there were no real technical 29 to stand in the way of scientists making a cloned human embryo.
This time the research group used traditional cloning technology with a human 30 . 31 it was given DNA from an adult cell, the egg began to 32 . 33 it was stopped from becoming a baby-at a stage in which it was 34 a ball of cells. The 35 technology has been used to clone sheep , cattle and monkeys.
