Clovis High School's graduating class wanted to create a lasting legacy as they left the institution for post-secondary adventures.

They created a "lip dub" video, a two-song homage to the high school experience. Nearly every one of the Fresno, California school's 600 graduates took part.

"Clovis High School Class of 2011 Lip Dub," an 11-minute unedited video set to Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" and Katy Perry's "Firework," was shot in a single take and was done so in silence. Because other students on campus were taking exams, the seniors were careful not to distract them with their filming.

"We thought it would be a great way to showcase the school spirit, unity and contributions of this senior class," Chrissy Prandini, Clovis High's activities director told the Los Angeles Times.

The students developed the project for two months and rehearsed for just two days in the school's gym before recording.

"I'm really proud of the video now that it's online," senior Nicole May told the

Sweltering summer heat is about to hit Japan and air conditioning usage in offices everywhere threatens to tax the country's delicate power supply.

In order to save power, the government of Gifu Prefecture is ordering its office staff to halt work for a couple hours every afternoon.

Essentially, it's a government-sanctioned nap time.

Since the March 11th earthquake and tsunami — and subsequent destruction of the Fukushima Dai-Lchi nuclear power plant — many of the nation's power plants remain shut down for safety checks.

"We are very very worried about the amount of energy we are using and we have to cut back," Yuiichi Kumazaki, a senior official with the prefectural government, told The Telegraph.

"The peak times for usage are in the early afternoon and it was some of our employees who came up with the idea of a siesta," he said.

Staff are instructed to turn off computers, lights and air conditioning every afternoon and go home for nap, go for a walk, or go shopping.

In the aftermath of Wednesday's riot in Vancouver, residents of the city are working to clean up their image while cleaning up the streets.

Social media is the platform of choice both for denouncing rioters — citing them as "criminals and anarchists," not real hockey fans — and defending the city. The same online tools used to brag about the riot are being used to rehabilitate the city's reputation.

The Real Face of Vancouver photo series on Facebook praises the city's positive spirit and spotlights local heroes who volunteered their time to rehabilitate the ravaged downtown.

One commenter on the photos wrote, "After feeling a great deal of shame for our city last night, this album has restored my sense of pride in our city and its remarkable people. Huge hugs to each of you who turned yesterday's darkness into today's brilliance. You're each why I'm a proud Canadian."

Calls to action on Facebook and Twitter rallied Vancouverites to participate in the clean-up effort. Within

Scientists aren't sure how or why, but a single bulb hanging in a Livermore, California, fire station has been burning bright for almost 110 years.

Tomorrow, June 18th, marks the 110th anniversary of the bulb's first flicker of light. Installed in 1901, the light is putting "long-lasting" bulbs everywhere to shame.

The hand-blown bulb is recognized by Guinness World Records as the longest burning light bulb.

"Nobody knows how it's possible. It is a 60-watt bulb and it's only turned on for about four watts, but nobody knows why it keeps burning. We've had scientists from all over the country look at this light bulb," Lynn Owen of the Centennial Light Bulb Committee says.

TIME NewsFeed reports that the bulb, which was designed by Edison competitor Adolphe Chaillet, "endured some initial glitches in 1901, a fraught week in 1937 and some random power outages all the way up to 1970s." Since then, however, the bulb has remained on.

A "BulbCam" captures the bulb every 10 seconds, you can

For four years now, 18-year-old cousins Allison Nguyen and Laura Le have been throwing birthday parties for children living in Houston-area shelters.

You can watch video on their inspiring story here.

Earlier this year, Nguyen appeared on The Rachael Show as part of the Kindness Challenge.

The young good Samaritans followed their love of baking and founded Iced Capades Cakery, a non-profit organization that recruits volunteers and accepts donations, with the goal of bringing "some normalcy" into the lives of children living in shelters with their mothers.

On Iced Capades Cakery's official site, the teenagers explain their motivation:

"Children in shelters are often the most underprivileged. They are displaced to shelters often with little advance notice and very few belongings. The parents of these children are, more often than not, too financially distressed to even afford simple things such as birthday cake. And unfortunately most shelters, especially the smaller ones, also cannot

A man in Sweden was downsizing. There was no room in his new place for the large canvas that had hung on his wall for over a decade, so he included it in the boxes sent to a small Stockholm auction house.

He attached a note: "Will you accept these things? Sell what you can and leave the rest to the Red Cross!"

He had no idea that the painting his wife left him when she passed away in 2002 was a Russian masterpiece.

"The Battle of Bomarsund" by Ivan Aivazovsky was painted in 1858. The "worthless" painting was priceless.

When the auction house saw that there was more buzz about the painting — which had a starting price of about $1,500 — than expected, the head of the house contacted Uppsala Auction House for advice.

"When we got the email we almost exploded with excitement. We realized, of course, that if this was a genuine Aivazovsky it would be a painting worth millions," auctioneer Knut Knutson of Uppsala Auction House told The Local.

Specialists authenticated the work as a genuine

At Wilson Middle School in Pennsylvania's Carlisle Area School District, both old and new eco-friendly technologies are helping trim the budget.

Since October, 5,178 solar panels have saved the school about $88,000.

And now sheep are taking care of the groundskeeping.

The wooly mowers will likely save the school $15,000 this summer.

Owned by Wilson Middle School assistant principal Eric Sands, the sheep will graze in the solar-panel field usually maintained by two workers each summer. Currently, seven sheep trim the grass.

The district's only sheep-incurred expenses: an erected fence and a supply of fresh water.

It's cost-effective, low-maintenance and eco-friendly. Treehugger suggests that other schools looking to slash budgets take notice.

Powell and Evelyn Lusk went out for dinner on Tuesday to celebrate their anniversary. No special gifts were exchanged. In fact, Evelyn has never worn a wedding ring.

Their simple "love is all you need" approach to marriage — they say their present is their gift to each other every day — has been a successful one. The low-key couple has been happily married for 70 years.

"You'd have to love somebody to do that, wouldn't ya? Every thing she does for me I appreciate," Powell told Fox 8 News.

The couple met at church in West Virginia and wed on June 14, 1941 after a four-month courtship. Powell was 19. His bride was just 13.

The inseparable couple haven't had it easy. They've outlived their two children and a grandson. But their devotion to one another hasn't wavered.

Evelyn's advice to couples considering marriage?

"Make sure that you love each other for one thing." she said. "That you can't live without them."
