The purpose of M&A is to create value for the Enterprise, only if the M&A creates value for the Enterprise, it can really highlight the real value of mergers and acquisitions. Manufacturing is the pillar of the national economy, the important symbol to measure a country comprehensive strength and international competitiveness, and also the hot area of the merger and acquisition. The M&A of manufacturing industry list the first place in China's M&A industry, occupy a large proportion of China's M&A cases. Therefore, it is meaningful to study the M&A of manufacturing listed companies.From the point of view of the M&A companies, combined with the M&A status of China's manufacturing industry listed companies, this paper takes148companies that occurred M&A in2008as sample companies, selects10financial data of these companies from2007to2011as the sample data, empirical researches on the merger and acquisition of Chinese listed companies value creation and its influence factors.Using factor analysis, this paper studies the issue whether the M&A can create value, draws a conclusion that the M&A can create value.

5 Players to Keep an Eye on During Pittsburgh Penguins' Training Camp
Sidney Crosby and team
"It's a hockey night in Pittsburgh!" These famous words of Pittsburgh Penguins' Hall of Fame play-by-play broadcaster Mike Lang will be said soon enough in Pittsburgh as the NHL season is closely approaching.
In the shortened 2013 NHL season, the Penguins were the favorites to win the Stanley Cup. This was a no-brainer for many people. The Penguins had two MVPs and scoring champions on their team in Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. The Penguins also have a supporting cast that rivals many countries' Olympic teams with players like James Neal, Chris Kunitz and Norris Trophy candidate Kris Letang. When the team added players at the deadline like Brenden Morrow and Jarome Iginla, everyone thought that this team would win their fourth Stanley Cup. However, these things are not won on paper. The Penguins fell to the Boston Bruins in four games and are once again looking to push for their fourth championship.
The Penguins retained many key players going into this season such as Evgeni Malkin, Pascal Dupuis and Kris Letang. This will help keep the core of the team together for a few more seasons. Pens fans will also see some new players at training camp, such as former first-round draft picks Ollie Matta and Derrick Pouliot.
On top of these players mentioned, there are five people on the Penguins' team that I feel fans need to keep an eye on during training camp. These individuals will have a major impact on the team this year and could help the team get over the hump and win the most sought-after cup in the hockey world.

5. Jacques Martin
When fans talk about impact people on a team to watch during training camp, coaches usually do not come to mind. The Penguins did not get a new head coach, but they did add a new coach that has experience, is award-winning and knows the NHL game very well. This offseason, the Penguins hired former Jack Adams' award-winning coach Jacques Martin to their coaching staff. Martin knows how to win. He has won gold medals and also is famous in Pittsburgh for knocking the Penguins out of the playoffs a year after they won the Stanley Cup. Martin's role may be to serve as the tough coach in the room. Dan Bylsma is known as a players' coach and Martin may be able to come in and be the tough coach that this team needs to get over the hump, especially when they need a reality check!
4. Simon Despres
The Penguins know where most of the players on their team will play this fall, however there are some that are still looking to find their place in the line-up. One person in particular is defenseman Simon Despres. Despres was drafted by the Penguins 30th overall in the 2009 Entry Draft. Since joining the Penguins, Despres has been in and out of the lineup. During some games, he looks as if he is lost. But in other games, he shows why he was selected in the first round. Despres has shown a natural ability on the offensive side of the game and has worked very well with fellow French-Canadian Kris Letang. With the arrival of Rob Scuderi as well as the battle between Despres and Robert Bortuzzo, another young defensemen, it will be interesting to see how Despres fits into the Penguins plans moving forward this season.
3. Beau Bennett
There is no doubt in Pittsburgh who the next young star playing forward will be, and that player is
Beau Bennett.
Bennett came onto the scene last season, during which he had 14 points in 26 games. He also had a huge goal in his first ever playoff game during this past season. Bennett is a very gifted offensive player on a team that is already filled with them. Bennett's skill set seems to suit captain Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin's play. However, both of these players have other line mates that they seem to enjoy playing with already. I personally feel that Bennett will start on Malkin's line with James Neal, but I think the team will eventually move Chris Kunitz back to play with Malkin and this would allow Bennett to play with Crosby and Dupuis. We will have to keep a close eye on this story throughout training camp and into the season.
2. Rob Scuderi
The last time Pittsburgh fans saw Rob Scuderi in a Penguins' uniform was when he was pushing Detroit Red Wings players out of the way of the goal during the final seconds of Game Seven of the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals. Since Scuderi left Pittsburgh, the Pens have not won the Cup. However, the team that he left the Penguins for, the Los Angeles Kings, did win the Cup. General Manager Ray Shero had the chance and did sign him this offseason in an attempt to solidify the team's blue line. It will be interesting to see who Coach Dan Bylsma puts Scuderi with to start the season. It will also be interesting to see if Scuderi can fit back in with the team that he won his first championship with.
1. Marc-Andre Fleury
Quite possibly the most watched person on the Penguins' team this season, and maybe the city of Pittsburgh itself, will be goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. Fleury is a Stanley Cup winning goaltender and is one of the most athletic goalies on the planet. Fleury can make saves that gymnasts look at with awe! Fleury has been one of the most dependable goalies in the regular season and has helped the Pens get to the playoffs since the 2006-2007 season. However, since the Pens won the Cup in 2009, the man the Penguins' fans call "The Flower" has not "bloomed" during the playoffs. Fleury seems to get the jitters when it comes to these games. He even was replaced for most of last year's playoffs by backup goalie Tomas Vokoun. Penguins fans and coaches will be watching Fleury in training camp to see if he can bounce back and be the man that everyone knows he can be and lead the Pens back to the promised land!

Let's get a few things straight off the bat. Smoke DZA's new single On The Corner isn't a reference to acclaimed novel The Corner, or it's offshoot HBO series. It's also not a reference to Common's The Corner or Charlottesville radio station, 106.1 The Corner. (Thanks Google!) Instead DZA's heavily cinematic new single is about the hard reality for those who live, well, on the corner. Returning from 4Eva to do double duty behind the boards and on the mic is Big K.R.I.T., who laces a hazy, string-infused beat for his compatriots to tell their tales of ghetto life while also throwing in a solid hook. Those who only know DZA as a blunted emcee will be impressed by his lyricism here, and of course the Trill OG himself Bun B delivers a solid performance, painting a portrait of streets filled with candy-painted slabs. If The Corner was still on TV I think it'd have a new theme song. As is though, this will serve nicely as the lead single to DZA's (of course) punnily-titled new album, Rolling Stoned, due out August 30.

Paul Ryan chosen by Mitt Romney in close margin over Gabby Douglas
WASHINGTON, DC - Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's decision to choose Paul Ryan as his running mate came after hours of contentious debate within the campaign. Just hours beforehand, the Romney team had their sights set on US Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas.
Strategists within the Romney campaign began making a push for Gabby Douglas shortly after her gold medal winning performance at the London Olympics. "She's got the look of a winner, and we wanted her on our team," said a source within the Romney campaign. "A great smile, a ferocious competitive spirit, and a true Washington outsider. Kind of like Sarah Palin, but smarter. And since she's been to London, more foreign policy experience too."
Other insiders were surprised that the campaign made the last minute decision to pick Paul Ryan. "Gabby and Mitt would have looked great together on the campaign trail," said analyst Peter Wolf. "They share a common desire to make the world a better place. They also are both quite fond of wearing leotards." Douglas appeared to be so much of a shoe in for the job, the campaign had already gone as far as to have had some signs printed and slogans picked out, including "Mitt and Gabby: Chalking up for Our Future."
Now that the Romney-Ryan ticket has been finalized, many Republicans are hoping that turning away from Douglas does not end up being a fatal mistake for the campaign. "We all know what happened in '96," said RNC staffer Ed Rolfesman. "The polling shows that if Bob Dole would have picked Kerri Strug instead of Jack Kemp, he would have beat President Clinton by double digits. If this ticket goes south, I think we're looking at the curse of Bela Karolyi all over again."

4.0 out of 5 stars Review from an iPhone convert,
**19th September 2014 UPDATE at the end.**
I'm writing this review one week and one day after purchasing the phone from Amazon.
I rarely, if ever, write reviews of anything but I'm doing so on this occasion for two reasons; the first being that, before this, I used an iPhone 4s and the second is that paying over �450 for a phone is clearly a considered purchase for most people.
It was a fairly big decision to 'switch sides' by going from Apple to Android on a Samsung but, so far, I haven't regretted it.
I'd had my iPhone 4s since October 2011 and it was a very faithful servant to me. I certainly think it's still the best of all the iPhones. I got rid of it as it had got to the point where I was having to charge it two or, sometimes, three times per day with normal use and apps would crash as they became more processor and memory intensive so the ageing hardware was unable to cope as well as it used to.
I'm going to do this the old fashioned way and do a list of pros and cons with some comparisons to the iPhone 4s in angle brackets where relevant. Also, I will update this review again at one month and three months to see if my experience with it has changed.
So, the PROS first...
1. Speedy as hell.
This phone is rapid. Make no mistake that the hardware in this device is pretty much as fast as it gets at the moment. Various reviews will tell you that the HTC One M8 gives faster benchmarks but I've tried both of these phones in shops before purchasing and there's basically no difference. My wife has an iPhone 5c and it's much faster than that. A couple of friends have the 5s and it's also faster than that. All of my apps load and close instantly - this includes games and the camera.
[As mentioned earlier, speed and memory is one of the reasons I had to abandon my 4s.]
2. The battery life is fantastic.
As mentioned above, I have had the phone for one week and a day and I have only charged it three times. Basically, it lasts for 48 hours with me. This includes things like listening to Spotify, using SnapChat and Facebook and all the other common apps you can think of as well as emails, texts, taking pictures and watching the odd video on YouTube.
[The 4s battery used to last less than a day when it was new.]
3. Superb pictures from the camera.
Although it has a very high 16mp sensor, resolution isn't always the main determinant of good photos. It's also the QUALITY of those pixels and the lens. Both of these are great and these two factors lead to crisp, sharp photos that are full of colour. It doesn't perform quite as well in low light as it does in brighter conditions but I've found that you can still get good results if you turn on the camera's image stabilisation and are willing to keep as still as you can for a few moments. Of course, that may not always be possible if you're, for instance, at a gig. (I'm going to Leeds festival next week so I will add some photo samples when I update this review.) I haven't yet tried out the video function but the fact that it will will shoot 4k says it all, I think.
[The 4s camera is appalling in comparison but it was using lens and sensor technology that was, basically, from 2010/2011.]
4. Huge, full-HD, bright screen.
Personally, I'm a fan of big phones and the S5 certainly fits that bill. It's about a third bigger than the iPhone 4s and, therefore, so is its screen. It's very bright, reproduces colours beautifully and it does all of this in full 1080p HD. If you're a fan of watching movies or TV shows on your phone, you will not go wrong with this for those reasons. I don't think much more needs to be said about that!
5. Water-resistant.
In this day and age, I don't really understand why this isn't a feature of all phones. I've used my S5 out in the rain a couple of times already and, in a curiosity-killed-the-cat moment, ran it under the tap for a while the day I bought it. None of this had any effect on it at all. I also use it in a (non-waterproof) armband when cycling and I've been through some torrential downpours in the past week. The USB/charging port at the bottom has a cover over it to stop water from reaching it and phone actually reminds you to put it back when you unplug your charger which is a nice little touch.
6. Expandable storage.
Not everybody wants to rely on the cloud despite that being Google's aim and the inclusion of a Micro-SD card slot for adding up to 128gb(!) of additional storage is a brilliant move by Samsung. I've got the 16gb phone and have bought a 64gb card to go with it. You will want to do this if you're trigger happy with the S5's stunning 16mp camera!
7. Heart-rate sensor.
This will be seen as a mere novelty to some but as a cyclist and a runner, I think it's fantastic. It actually works really well and seems to be as accurate as a �60 external sensor I used in the past. Use it before you start exercising and then as soon as you finish to see how hard you've worked. Let it keep a record over time and watch your fitness levels increase as your working heart rate goes down!
8. Free stuff.
A year's free Endemondo Premium, six months' free Deezer (a Spotify rival if you're unfamiliar), 3 months free NOW TV Sky Movies pass, 3 months free LinkedIn Premium and a few others. Need I say more!?
Nor for the CONS...
1. The fingerprint scanner.
This is pretty bad. It almost never works at the first attempt. It usually takes me four tries for it to unlock the phone. If it fails to work/recognise your fingerprint five times in a row it won't let you try for another thirty seconds. You can add a password to unlock the phone as a failsafe instead of using the scanner. Frequently, I find myself getting to the fourth attempt and then choosing to enter the code instead to stop it locking. It feels like Samsung rushed to get this into the S5 to compete with the iPhone 5s but they probably should've waited until they could get it right.
2. The rear speaker.
It's quiet, tinny, and sounds pretty bad. I never use this anyway so it's not an issue for me as I always listen to media using my earphones. If you're someone who does like good external audio on a phone, however, you might want to take this into account. The HTC One M8's speaker blows it away in comarison. But again, this is not a feature that I, personally, am concerned about.
3. Build quality.
Although the phone does feel very sturdy, its plastic casing and thinly-built rear cover does leave more to be desired. The velour-esque coating on the back won't be for everyone. I've solved all of this by getting a robust Spigen cover for �9.
That's it - more pros than cons by far!
In conclusion, I'm very happy with my purchase and haven't regretted switching from iPhone to Samsung/Android one little bit.
I hope this has helped you to make an informed choice. As mentioned, I well update this review again in about three weeks.
So I'm a little late with this but better late than never!
The main thing I've got to say after six and a bit weeks is that there seems to be a bit of knack to using the fingerprint scanner.
Initially, I was only using my thumb as that's the only way to unlock it with one hand using this feature.
After a couple of weeks, I decided to register the index finder of my right hand, too. I am having significantly more success with this but it still isn't perfect.
Using the index finger, it now works about eight times out of ten which is a massive improvement on my initial experience!
You have to run your finger along it quite slowly without pressing down too hard. I wasn't always moving my thumb in straight lines and wasn't pressing in with too much force. This new method is much better.
Otherwise, the phone is still running perfectly and I've grown to like it more with every week.
I went on holiday to Ibiza and took some amazing snaps and videos with it. Best non-DSLR camera I've ever owned. And the fact that it's waterproof meant I could take it in the sea and the pool and get some shots there which was brilliant! I would add some of these to show you but it turns out you can't add external links in Amazon reviews.
I'll be back with another update in eight weeks...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent phone but be careful where you buy it from,
Theresa Robinson - See all my reviews
The phone itself is excellent, though the USB flap can be a bit awkward if you have a case on.
However, I had to send mine back for a full refund because I was sent a phone with Hong Kong baseband firmware (G900FZHUANI2). I have read that this may mean it doesn't have a valid UK warranty.
To check your phone: "Settings" > "About device" > "Baseband version". You could also try a factory reset - although mine was in English when I took it out of the box, a factory reset defaulted it back to Chinese. A bit suspicious.
If you're not sure if yours is right, search online or ask on the XDA Developers Forum.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading advertisement product not genuine!,
I've given one star because i cannot seem to give ZERO!
Boy has this purchase been a pain. First the delivery was delayed i did not get the phone until a few days after the estimated date, which normally wouldn't bother me so much had it not been a birthday present for my daughter. Next the package was just left in the middle of my driveway for all to see, there was not attempt made by the delivery guy to knock on the door, in fact the man exited his vehicle with the package, walked towards my home, looked at his watch and then all around (presumably to have a look if anyone was watching) and proceeded to throw the package from the pavement into my driveway...yes i said THROW! I was in the middle of getting ready for work when i noticed the delivery vehicle pull up, so I was lucky enough to see the everything unfold. This is not something i would normally expect from Amazon as they are the ones who fulfilled the shipment, normally they provided a 1st class service, one can only assume I was due a bad experience.
Now onto the phone, and the biggest issue of all the charger! To start with the charger within the box is an S4 charger even though i purchased and S5. This in itself proves the phone was not new and the package has been opened prior to delivery. I opened the package began following the instructions on how to set up the phone, as soon as i plugged in the charger i heard a worrying noise (spark/ small bang) at which point the phone stopped charging. Having inspected the charger plug itself i noticed it was extremely hot and smelt of burnt plastic. This is a major safety issue, had i not been next to the phone at the time, god knows what could have happened. Furthermore, a closer inspections of the charger plug leads me to believe this may be counterfeit as there are major differences (safety warning & CE mark) when it is compared to a genuine something which was verified by Samsung themselves. I have tried to charge the phone with another charger and it works perfectly fine, therefore the only conclusion is the charger supplied with the phone is faulty/ counterfeit.
Having compared the box and its contents to my sister's, purchased directly from Samsung, its clear that DMCO have re-packaged the S5 phones with S4 accessories, charger, usb wire, headphones, and that's why the phone was so cheap.
This is the first time i have written a review and its safe to say I am very disappointed with the product (as well as the service from DMCO) and I just hope no other customers experience the same problems. Obviously having purchased and paid for a new S5, I feel I have been mislead.
The phone itself seems to be working fine and is everything i expected, but this experience has led me to re-think any future purchases from the marketplace and Amazon itself.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a good phone but,
This review is from: Samsung Galaxy S5 SIM-Free Smartphone - Blue (Wireless Phone)
It's a good phone but, I bought it about 4 days ago it came with south Korean
Language as a default language and it was quite a challenge to change the
Language into English, went on to utube to see if any info into changing
the language but I couldn't find anything on changing Korean language into English,
Secondly when you put UK sim card in it, it does not connect to network automatically
You have to go into Settings—More network---mobile network---network operators—
It will then scan and search for UK network, after that click on your operator network.
To change from Korean language into English go into setting---scroll down and tap onto
A blue circle with letter A in the middle----it will bring up a screen ---then tap on the
Second line on the screen---it will then giveyou option of European languages to choose
From---tap on to English. I think my phone was setup for sale in south Korea,
Even though it's European model SM-G900F. I did contact the Amazon they responded
Very quickly to help, but before I could contact them again , I managed to resolve the problem.
It's a very good phone and I must say excellent service from Amazon.

2.0 out of 5 stars Close to perfection (when you just keep it on your desk),
I upgraded mine s3 to this beauty and I am almost thrilled to bits. I will list pros and several cons accordingly to my personal needs and taste.
+ (Look) maybe it is nothing outstanding or astonishing, but it is SIMPLE nad ELEGANT without gilding the lily! I personaly really like the look of the New Galaxy, it looks like a device of a grown up man. (I also like the leathery look of plastic on the back)
+ Performance - well, will run any app. I did not experienced any problems or glitches
+ Beautiful screen - woah! Deep colours, bright as sunlight and do not drain a lot of battery
+ Graphics - I am in heaven playing high end game
+ fingerprint scanner - pretty useful add (I always hated passwords or patterns)
+ SD micro Card slot up to 128 GB
+ motions - maybe not very useful, but I find them engaging (not like heartbeat sensor, which is pointless for me ^)
+ ULTRA POWER SAVING MODE - the biggest pro and a winner. Phone can survive up to 2 weeks without wallsocket!! (UPDATE: Okay I tested it out, there is no way for GS5 to give you 2 weeks, but still wih medium usage it can possibly stay on for about 4-7 days)
+ Waterproof and dustproof - essential pro for me as well (it can whitstand full washing or drawning in swimming pool)
+ enhanced touch sensitivity - I tried it. For me it is a nice feature - from now on you can use your phone even with very thick winter gloves!
+ battery life - substantially increased when comparing to s3. To cut a long story short, I am surprised with how long it takes this phone go flat
+ Battery still can be taken out (Samsung remains here true to its form) thumbs up!
+ Download booster - helpful technology allowing you for instance to speed up some overcrowded Wifis (hotel, train station or any public) or just download something very fast. This is the first technology that connects Wifi and 4G.
- (built quality) - except of the screen! I do not like that silver edges are plastic and can be easily scratched, back is not as resistant as well. Phone should have been made of metal
- (2 GB of RAM) 1 gb to less as for my money
- (16GB of internal memory) - Not good enough
- pack with too many apps from start both from Google and Samsung + O2 to top it all off (50% of them were unnecessary for me)
- No FM Radio, I did not use it on my s3 anyway, but it still is a con, right? Step back
OVERALL - Despite I love this phone and I am really pleased with it, my rating is 4 stars. I take one star for these 4 cons, which are not minor flaws for me at all. Such a cutting edge device should have been geared with at least 32 or 64 gb of memory and 3 gb ram
UPDATE 16/05/2014 Phone is going strong and it is still able to surprie me.
I have noticed another two really nice things:
+Bluetooth - I am using LG HBS700 bluetooth neckband headphones (approx. 6-8 hours every day)exactly the same model that I was using with my Galaxy s3. Thus, with Galaxy sIII they worked fine, but sound was cutting and dropping from time to time and when headphones were like 10 meters away from the phone, it was impossible to listen to anything. When I synchronized Galaxy s5 to my HBS I listened to the music from another bulding with just occ. cuttings! It was easily 20 meters with two walls on the way of the signal. How about that? I dont have to mention that while using it in my pocket, sound does not cutting at all. I was always thinking that the strength of the bluetooth signal depends on headphones more than the phone. Galaxy s5 proved me wrong. It has impressive bluetooth.
+Wifi - I have noticed that now I have few additional meters that I can walk away from Wifi Hot-spot before loosing the signal. Wifi connectivity was improved as well.
EDIT: the phone failed me twice. Once it cracked after falling down on the ground (with combo case and tempered glass protector). Okay, I managed to repaired it and did not lower the rating. But after just 1 month it failed to be water resistant and now the display does not work.
Sadly to say, but samsung proved me wrong and even though this was a great phone at start, I would not recommend it for some1 who wants the phone that will not fail after couple of months. Now I can see it is a step back from s3, which did not fail me even once and it is still working just fine as my missus phone

1.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT buy if you are in the EU - Incompatible and does not work,
This review is from: Samsung Galaxy S5 SIM-Free Smartphone - Blue (Wireless Phone)
WARNING: Do not buy in the EU.
I very rarely write a review, mainly as I am a loyal and happy Amazon Prime customer and many people only write to complain (guilty) but I feel that I have to write on this occasion to warn other buyers who may not be so "tech savvy" when receiving the phone. On receipt it seems to work. However, this phone comes from Hong Kong. On starting it had a Chinese language setup and then when delving into different apps, many did not work. I phoned Samsung who confirmed that the firmware version was from Hong Kong and so there would be incompatibility issues in the EU and no warranty if the phone had any issues.
The one star is for Amazon - they have agreed to refund the phone and also the parts that I bought to go with it such as the screen protector and case.
I have no problems with ordering from Amazon but they do need to check the items they are selling - please check the model number or CSC number of the phone before purchase - if you have the phone dial *#1234# and the numbers will be displayed.

5.0 out of 5 stars So personally I love it! Now for the rest,
I never write reviews but as I have just purchased this phone I felt I had to. Firstly I want to give my opinion of the Samsung Galaxy S5s biggest problem with others; the finger scanner. It was one of the first feature I tried and I have to say I've had no problems! I use it as my lock screen and it works every time. So personally I love it! Now for the rest. Although it does feel flimsy when you remove it, I quite like the back cover. It feels nice to me. The camera is amazing! Colours are so bright. It's a super fast phone with loads of features. The thing I'm most impressed with is battery life. I've had a LOT of mobiles and this is the best I've had 😊

5.0 out of 5 stars Also the price being �100 cheaper than anywhere else seems a bit too good to be true,
I was a bit weary when ordering this phone after reading some reviews claiming it was not the European model. Also the price being �100 cheaper than anywhere else seems a bit too good to be true, which often means it is not genuine.
But I ordered this from iheadphones, knowing they are fulfilled by Amazon incase there were any problems. But there was no need to worry, it is a genuine S5 European model, and I have also had a proper look into it to make sure it was not a fake. Everything is fine with it.
When ordering this phone make sure you check that it is coming from a UK company, not a Hong Kong one, as a lot of them are shipped from Hong Kong, I can only guess that the people who have received the non-European models ordered it from one of these Asian countries without realising it.
Here is a link to a website which will verify if your phone is genuine by entering in the IMEI number.

Australian gem is 'oldest piece of Earth ever found' - and shows life could have formed on our planet earlier than anyone thought possible
Tiny piece of zircon shows Earth's crust formed at least 4.4 billion years ago - and life could have appeared not long after that
Adam Withnall
Adam Withnall writes for http://independent.co.uk
Monday 24 February 2014
A gem found on a sheep ranch in Australia has been found to have formed 4.4 billion years ago - making it the oldest piece of our planet ever recorded.
The discovery alters our understanding of the early stages in Earth's formation, and shows that a crust formed on its surface significantly quicker than previously thought.
To put it in context, the solar system itself only came into existence around 4.56 billion years ago, meaning it took at most 160 million years for our planet to develop a crust.
Writing in the journal Nature Geoscience, a team of experts from the University of Wisconsin said their findings showed that early Earth was a more hospitable place than previously thought - and that there is no reason life could not have appeared around 4.3 billion years ago.
The results are so significant that scientists waited to use two different age-determining techniques on the tiny zircon crystal, found in western Australia in 2001, before publishing their report.
They first used a widely-accepted dating technique based on determining the radioactive decay of uranium to lead in a mineral sample.
But because some scientists hypothesised that this might give a false date due to the potential for movement of lead atoms within the crystal over time, the researchers turned to a second sophisticated method to verify the finding.
They used a technique known as atom-probe tomography that was able to identify individual atoms of lead in the crystal and determine their mass, and confirmed that the zircon was indeed 4.4 billion years old.
The Earth itself formed as a ball of molten rock 4.5 billion years ago, and Wisconsin geoscience professor and report lead John Valley said their findings support the notion of a "cool early Earth" where temperatures were low enough to sustain oceans, and perhaps life, earlier than previously thought.
This period of Earth history is known as the Hadean eon, named after the ancient Greek god of the underworld because of its apparently hellish conditions.
"One of the things that we're really interested in is: when did the Earth first become habitable for life? When did it cool off enough that life might have emerged?" Professor Valley told the Reuters news agency.
The discovery that the zircon crystal, and thereby the formation of the crust, dates from 4.4 billion years ago suggests that the planet was perhaps capable of sustaining microbial life 4.3 billion years ago, Valley said.
"We have no evidence that life existed then. We have no evidence that it didn't. But there is no reason why life could not have existed on Earth 4.3 billion years ago," he added.
The oldest fossil records of life are stromatolites produced by an archaic form of bacteria from about 3.4 billion years ago.
The zircon was extracted in 2001 from a rock outcrop in Australia's Jack Hills region. For a rock of such importance, it is rather small. It measures only about 200 by 400 microns, about twice the diameter of a human hair.
"Zircons can be large and very pretty. But the ones we work on are small and not especially attractive, except to a geologist," Professor Valley said. "If you held it in the palm of your hand, if you have good eyesight you could see it without a magnifying glass."

Babcock & Wilcox enters supply agreement with Lehigh

The Babcock & Wilcox Co. and Lehigh Heavy Forge Corp. have entered into a supply agreement for B&W mPower small modular reactor forgings.
Under the agreement, Lehigh and Charlotte-based B&W (NYSE:BWC) will work together in the fabrication of large forgings for nuclear reactor components for use in the production of B&W mPower SMRs, according to a press release. Prototype and standard forgings will be manufactured at Lehigh's facility in Bethlehem, Pa., as B&W moves into the component manufacturing phase of its program.
"As we move forward with plans to deploy the B&W mPower reactor, one of our commitments is to use U.S.-based suppliers," says Christofer Mowry, president of B&W mPower. "American manufacturing is at the heart of the history of both our companies, and we are proud to have Lehigh Heavy Forge join the mPower America effort in bringing small modular reactor manufacturing expertise back to the U.S."
B&W recently won $225 million in funding through the U.S. Department of Energy's Small Modular Reactor Licensing Technical Support Program. The funding will support the development of its B&W mPower reactor technology.
B&W is a provider of energy technology and services, primarily for the nuclear, fossil and renewable power markets, as well as an advanced-technology defense contractor. The company has about 12,700 employees at its wholly owned subsidiaries, plus 10,400 more at its joint ventures.

CHRIS HARDWICK: MANDROID Stand-Up Special to Air on Comedy Central 11/10
The Nerdist himself, Chris Hardwick, celebrates all things nerdy in his first one-hour COMEDY CENTRAL stand-up special, CHRIS HARDWICK: MANDROID.
Hipsters beware: there is no irony in Hardwick?s affinity for Captain Picard, Comic-Con and the Atari 2600. MANDROID features candid comedy tales that cover virginity, chess club, shark vaginas, awkward childhood, awkward adulthood (which in this case is an extension of awkward childhood) and a myriad of other topics which may or may not include Quidditch.
Hardwick has been featured on several major motion pictures such as Johnson Family Vacation, T3 and House of 1000 Corpses. In addition he has also hosted Weird Science, Attack of The Show, News Junkies, Shipmates, Singled Out, MTV's Beach House, Trashed, Stop Making Sense, Talk Soup, and Web Soup.

The Israeli Air Force on Saturday struck a Palestinian terrorist who was preparing to launch a rocket into Israeli territory from northern Gaza, the IDF stated.The IDF recorded a direct hit and thwarted the rocket attack."The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers will continue to act against anyone who uses terror against Israel," the IDF said in a statement. "The terrorist organization Hamas holds full responsibility."The air strike followed a barrage of rockets fired into southern Israel Saturday morning, injuring one man and causing damage to a school and factory in Sderot. "Israel cannot remain silent in the face of continued rocket fire from the Gaza Strip," Home Front Defense Minister Matan Vilna'i said earlier Saturday during a visit to the afflicted areas of Sderot and Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council.The wounded man, approximately 50 years old, suffered moderate-to-severe injuries after being struck by shrapnel in the neck and stomach. He was rushed to Barzilai Medical Center and was fully conscious. Two other residents suffered shock in the Palestinian attack.Vilna'i also paid a visit to the IDF's Gaza Division for an operational review of recent events. "We hold Hamas fully responsible for everything that happens in the Gaza Belt," Vilani said during the visit. "Israel is working, and will continue to work with a heavy hand against those terrorists that want to escalate the situation in the region."The minister stressed that, "the state attaches great importance to protecting the cities that lay within a radius of 4.5 to 7 km. of the Gaza Strip."Hamas's armed wing, the Izzadin Kassam Brigades, released a statement Saturday warning Israel over the recent escalation of violence in Gaza, saying if Israeli airstrikes continue "we are ready to smash [Israel's] arrogance."Israeli attacks, a statement published online by the group said, are a crime which Hamas cannot remain silent about and vowed a "proper" response.Palestinians have fired over twenty rockets from Gaza into southern Israel since midnight on Friday, police said. Fifteen of those landed in the Lachish region, and five in the Negev. One rocket hit and damaged a school in Sderot. No injuries were reported. The Iron Dome rocket defense system intercepted five of the rockets. 11 rockets were fired toward the Ashkelon Coast Regional Council, Channel 10 reported. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the recent round of rockets. Earlier, the IDF denied Palestinian reports that an IAF strike on Gaza had killed a four-year-old-boy and wounded seven others on Saturday. Quoting Gazan Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra, Palestinians news agency Ma'an reported that Israeli fire killed the boy in the Abasan neighborhood east of Khan Younis. The IDF denied any connection to the incident and stated that the IAF had not carried out any further strikes between the early morning and Saturday afternoon. In light of the recent wave of rockets, the IDF instructed residents in the area to stay within 15 seconds of protected spaces. In a conversation with Army Radio, Sderot Mayor David Buskila called on the government to return quiet to the region. The violence all but erases diplomatic progress made in the form of an informal ceasefire brokered by Egypt on June 20, which brought two days of relative quiet to southern Israel.Earlier Saturday morning, the IAFstruck three Palestinian terror bases in the Gaza Strip in response to continued Palestinians rocket firing into Israel. Palestinian media reported that between 17 and 21 people were wounded in the strike - the third of its kind since Friday, which according to the reports have also resulted in the death of at least one terrorist.Yaakov Lappin contributed to this report

McMeniman to start for Force
February 14, 2013
Hugh McMeniman will take his first step toward a Wallabies recall when he returns for Western Force against Melbourne Rebels in the Super Rugby season-opening fixture at AAMI Park clash on Friday.
Force coach Michael Foley will look to McMeniman to lead by example against the Rebels, particularly in the absence of injured skipper Matt Hodgson and the loss of Wallabies Nathan Sharpe (retirement) and David Pocock (Brumbies).
McMeniman, 29, spent the past three years season in Japan after shoulder and knee injuries over five seasons with Queensland limited his playing time to 29 appearances and 21 Wallabies caps.
Force coach Michael Foley said the 114kg powerhouse had the ability to play for the Wallabies again, with Test coach Robbie Deans seemingly agreeing by including him in the train-on squad.
"Nothing's changed too much about Hugh," Foley said.
"He's a couple of years older but he's still the guy who plays with unbelievable fearlessness. He has almost no regard for his body, which we've tried to temper a little, bit but once he gets on the field there's no hesitation."
Foley worked with Hugh McMeniman back in 2007, as a Wallabies assistant, and said the time the player had spent in Japan had given him a real hunger to play again.
"What's impressed me more than anything now is his level of professionalism," he said. "I think he maybe used to cut a few corners in terms of his preparation and doing all the things to get his body right. Now he has a real hunger to test himself and play for Australia again."

MUMBAI: Even as confusion reigned over where England would play their second three-day warm-up match in the city, from November 2-5, Daljit Singh, the chairman of the pitches and Grounds Committee of the the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) inspected the wicket at MCA ground in the Bandra-Kurla Complex on Tuesday.
The issue over where the game would be staged has now blown up into a controversy, thanks to a petty ego clash between the officials of the Mumbai Cricket Association and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The MCA had recently requested to shift the match from the BKC to the DY Patil Stadium, citing multiple issues, with security being the top-most one. The BCCI, however, hasn't been too keen to entertain this request.
On Monday evening, when TOI quizzed BCCI operations manager Suru Nayak, a former Mumbai player, on the 'status' of the venue of the game, his response was: "The match will be held at BKC, as per the itinerary," he said.
When asked about whether he had received any communication from the MCA regarding a change in venue, he replied in the negative. A senior MCA official, however, rubbished Nayak's claim.
There is also a rumour that the BCCI may ask the MCA to hold the England warm-up game at the Wankhede Stadium, while the Ranji match that was originally supposed to be held there, is shifted to the BKC.
"I am not aware on things on this front, but the warm-up match is definitely not happening at the Wankhede," said BCCI secretary Sanjay Jagdale.
"The ECB team asked us about the seating arrangements, dressing room facilities for their huge contingent and crowd control.
This is why we asked the BCCI for a venue shift. It has been approved by our managing committee too," said an MCA official. A final decision on the matter could come out by Wednesday.
