The automatic sprinkler system kept an early morning fire at Stanton Tower from becoming worse, but it did leave behind water damage.

Fremont Fire Department crews were called to the eighth floor of Stanton Tower at 3:56 a.m. today. They found the apartments resident laying in about 4 inches of water in the doorway, Capt. Pat Tawney said.

The sprinkler system is priceless, Tawney said.

Tawney said it appears the resident had left a placed a piece of wood on top of the stove and then a microwave on top of that. So far, its undetermined how the fire started.

Smoke was contained to the eighth floor of the high-rise apartment building, but Tawney said there was water damage on the eighth, seventh and sixth floors. An additional shift was called in to help with the cleanup.

The resident was transported to Fremont Health Medical Center.

Several residents did evacuate their apartments this morning. Tawney said those whose apartments sustained water damage were working with the Fremont Housing Authority, which operates the complex, on what steps to take next.

Typically, Tawney said, the department recommends residents at either Gifford Tower or Stanton Tower remain in their apartments and place a towel at the bottom of the door when there is a fire in another unit until firefighters ask them to evacuate. Sprinklers and the concrete construction of the buildings help keep fires from spreading.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) New York-traded oil ended Friday at its lowest level since March 2009, amassing losses of more than 7% on the week.

Crude-oil futures were mixed, with London-traded Brent settling higher. Investors parsed news of the death of Saudi Arabias King Abdullah and marginal improvement in Chinas manufacturing data.

Light, sweet crude futures for March delivery CLH5, -2.20% retreated 72 cents, or 1.6%, to settle at $45.59 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That was the lowest finish since March 11, 2009.

Prices had traded as high as $47.76 a barrel earlier. On the week, New York-traded oil lost 7.2%, down for 15 of the past 17 weeks.

Brent crude for March delivery on Londons ICE Futures exchange LCOH5, +0.06% rose 27 cents, or 0.6%, to $48.79 a barrel. Brent traded as high as $49.80 a barrel. On the week, the commodity declined 2.8%.

The change of guard in Saudi Arabia, the worlds No. 1 oil exporter, is unlikely to change kingdoms stance in oil markets. The new king has kept oil minister Ali Al-Naimi in power, and Saudi Arabia will continue to pursue the strategy of defending its own market share rather than help support oil prices, said Matt Smith, an analyst with Schneider Electric.

Saudi Arabias King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud died at the age of around 90, according to a royal court statement early Friday morning. The statement also said that Abdullahs half-brother, Crown Prince Salman, who is 79 years old, was declared king and Prince Muqrin, 69, became crown prince.

Earlier Friday, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a Saudi businessman and a nephew of King Abdullah, said on CNBC the world would never again see oil at $100 a barrel, reiterating remarks he had made earlier this month.

The price of oil will remain under pressure for the foreseeable future, he said.

Scientists have been surprised to find water pooling beneath the ice

In a serendipitous discovery, a team of scientists has found a lake at the bottom of the ice where the relatively warm meltwater pools and makes the ice around it slushier. Ultimately, that could make the ice flow faster to the ocean. Credit: NASA/USGS

On a clear day, anyone flying over Greenland on the route between North America and Europe can look down and see the bright bluepatches of melted wateratop the flat, blindingly white expanse ofthe ice sheetthat covers the island, the second largest chunk of ice on Earth.

Scientists have long known this meltwater flows in streams along the ice sheets surface before disappearing down chutes that take it tumbling to the bottom of the ice sheet, where the ice scrapes against bedrock.

It was thought that the water quickly flowed between ice and rock and out to sea, with little impact on the bottom ice layers. But a new study suggests the story isnt so simple. In a serendipitous discovery, a team of scientists has found a lake at the bottom of the ice where the relatively warm meltwater pools and makes the ice around it slushier. Ultimately, that could make the ice flow faster to the ocean.

The finding, detailed in theJan. 22 issue of the journal Nature, suggests that this process could be important to more accurately modeling how Greenland will respond to climate change and contribute to the already 8 inches ofglobal sea level risesince 1900. Greenland holds enough ice to raise global sea levels by 24 feet, and how much and how quickly it melts could change projections offuture sea level rise, which theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Changeputs between 10 and 32 inches by 2100, including contributions from Greenlands glaciers.

What the heck is that? As happens so often in science,Mike Williswasnt actually looking for what he ended up discovering. The glaciologist was combing through satellite and GPS data to see what small, local effects could be clouding satellite measurements of larger changes in Earths gravity from ice loss.

What he did not expect to find was a hole twice the size of Central Park in a small ice cap in the northern reaches of Greenland.

What the heck is that? he thought when he saw it.

He didnt think he could possibly be the first person to have spotted it. Surely someones noticed a gigantic hole in northern Greenland before, he said, but there were no records of it.
