Japanese inventors and Triumph International Ltd., have designed a "solar-powered bra" which aims to raise awareness against global warming on Wednesday in Tokyo, Japan's capital city.

The environment-friendly bra was designed to conserve energy and is capable and designed to generate enough power to charge a cellular phone or Ipod.

Godzilla, the overgrown Japanese lizard, wreaked a lot of havoc in those 1950s sci-fi movies. But even he couldn't match the destructive capability of a much smaller cousin in this southern Florida coastal community.

Some 20,000 homes lost power midday Thursday when an iguana shorted out high-voltage equipment operated by Florida Power and Light. Electricity was out for about half an hour. The iguana will be out for a much longer time.

The Old North Church, Boston's 285-year-old beacon of the American Revolution, has gone high-tech with the installation of light-emitting diodes, or LEDs.

Ed Pignone, executive director of the Old North Foundation of Boston, said energy-efficient lights now illuminate ceiling vaults inside the church, whose steeple was used by Paul Revere to display two lanterns as a signal about British troop movements on April 18, 1775- the night described in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famous poem, which included the line: "One if by land, and two if by sea."

A couple of roommates received quite a surprise when they received an electric bill asking for almost $100,000.

The two individuals, who shared a single-room mobile home, were reportedly stunned and confused as to how they managed to owe that much money.

According to the Philippine Army, its unpaid electricity bill now amounts to $154,799. Army spokesman Lt. Col. Ernesto Torres Jr. said the Army is validating the bill before paying it. However, Torres said if the Army fails to settle the bill promptly, military bases around the country will lose access to electricity and be forced to resort to standby generators for power.

The Philippine Army has 80 battalion headquarters nationwide, excluding brigades and divisions. Torres said the PA has an annual budget for electricity consumption, but he said the increasing use of electricity by various Army field units means the military may not be able to cover the bill with its current funds.
