If certain people get more out of their work than they do out of their home, then perhaps this is a clear and valid choice for people to be making.
The rhetoric about longer working hours also needs to be put in perspective. The average working day has increased in length over the last two decades, but by just one minute and forty-two seconds.

Physicians order CT scans for a number of different reasons including searching for and assessing: tumours, cysts, kidney stones, and bone injuries. Without CT scans, surgeons would have to perform many needless operations.
In many cases, especially in the detection of tumours and internal bleeding, CT scans provide information that can save a person's life.
Brain, chest, and abdominal CT scans are the most common, though physicians also rely on the CT scanner to guide their needles while draining an abscess or performing a biopsy.
Chajnantor is high and dry - perfect for picking up microwaves. This selection is also particularly appropriate, for mankind has been exploiting the aridity of the Atacama desert for millennia.

Even if there is no life on Gliese 581g, its discovery reveals that habitable planets are quite common, with around 10 to 20 per cent of red dwarves and sun-like stars boasting them.
Planets become stuck with one side always facing the star, just like the Moon and the Earth. Because of this, it is likely that Gliese 581g has permanent daytime on the side facing the star and permanent shadow on the other.
Steven Vogt - one of the two astronomers credited with discovering Gliese 581g - has declared that 'the chances of life on this planet are 100 per cent' and that he has 'almost no doubt about it'.
The ESA spacecraft "Philae" landed on a comet and sent home at least some of the scientific knowledge it was built to collect. It is destined not just to be a visitor but to remain as a permanent part of the comet.

Many of the skeletons were deeply encased in mud which meant the burials had to have taken place in the rain. Yet in this part of Peru it almost never rains.
Archaeologists found evidence of enormous rain damage at a Moche site. New building work had been interrupted and torn apart by torrential rain, and artifacts found in the damaged area dated to almost exactly that period.
