Six Mountain Gorillas Rescued from
Poachers
Rwanda handed over six mountain gorillas to the Republic of Congo on Wednesday after rescuing them from poachers who would have either sold them as exotic pets or slaughtered them for meat. Poaching has decimated populations of chimpanzees, gorillas and forest elephants throughout the jungles of west and central Africa in recent years, prompting regional government officials to step up efforts to stop trafficking.

International Space Station to Be Crashed Into
Ocean
Officials from Russia's Roskosmos space agency on Wednesday said that the International Space Station will be crashed into the ocean after its intended life cycle expires in 2020. “After it completes its existence, we will be forced to sink the ISS. It cannot be left in orbit, it's too complex, too heavy an object, it can leave behind lots of rubbish,” said the agency's deputy director Vitaly Davydov. “Right now we've agreed with our partners that the station will be used until approximately 2020,” he added.

U.S. Stock Market Summary – July 27, 2011
By Kelly Curtis
U.S. Stock Market Summary – July 27, 2011
US stocks posted hefty losses Wednesday as the ongoing political bickering over a deal to raise the debt limit continued with the clock ticking on a potential default. Not helping matters, a disappointing report on June durable goods orders concerned investors over the manufacturing sector, which has been one of the bright spots in the nation's tedious recovery. Airplane and defense equipment maker Boeing reported per share earnings that were well above expectations, driving shares up 0.67 percent, making it the best performing component of the Dow on a dismal trading day.

Microsoft Renews Partnership with Novell
Microsoft has had an ongoing dispute with Linux for years, but several years back, the Redmond, Washington-based software giant decided to develop a relationship with Linux purveyor Novell and its enterprise-focused SUSE Linux OS. The German branch of Microsoft even wished Linux a happy 20th birthday last week, in an attempt to further thaw the historically chilly relationship.

Clorox Rejects Icahn's Revised Buyout
