Deeply_Pipelined writes: From Earth's tallest point, the message was understandably breathless.

Larson, 18, of Long Beach, became one of the youngest people to scale the 29,035-foot peak, reaching the summit with a group that included her father, David Larson, 51, an anesthesiologist at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center.
The honors graduate of Long Beach Polytechnic High School put off her start as a freshman at Stanford by a year to scale some of the world's highest mountains.

Submission + - Device Uses Solar Energy to Convert Carbon Dioxide
jnguy writes: physorg.com reports that Scientist at University of California, San Diego have developed a device that can capture sun light, convert it to electrical energy and turn carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and oxygen. Millions of pounds of carbon monoxide are used every year to manufacture chemicals such as detergents and plastics. Carbon monoxide can also be converted into liquid fuel. Not only does the device provide energy, but it also reduces greenhouse gas. The device is not yet optimized, as it requires an external source of energy. University of California also has a press release. The research is supported by the Department of Energy
