Europe launches enormous civilian robotics programme
The European Commission has claimed it's launched the world's largest ever civilian research and innovation programme in robotics.
Teaming with 180 companies and research groups under the umbrella of euRobotics, today saw the official announcement of the EU initiative - which will cover manufacturing, agriculture, health, transport, civil security and households. The initiative is called SPARC and aims to build and strengthen Europe's position in the worldwide robotics market.
In an official statement, the European Commission's VP Neelie Kroes said that Europe must "be a producer and not merely a consumer of robots."

Mini supernova created in Oxford lab
A teensy supernova-of-sorts (not pictured) has been created in lab conditions on a small island on planet Earth.
Three laser beams were focused on a carbon rod target about the size of a strand of hair in a low density, gas-filled chamber. The heat generated by this laser, at over a few million degrees Celsius, made the rod explode and then create a blast that expanded through the low density gas.
The purpose of the experiment was to gain greater understanding of the Cassiopeia A, roughly 11,000 light years away from Earth.

NASA Kepler spacecraft discovers mega-Earth planet
NASA has announced that the Kepler spacecraft has discovered a new Earth-like planet orbiting a star much like our sun about 560 light years away from us. The new planet has been dubbed a mega-Earth by scientists studying it. That name comes from the fact that the scientists believe the planet is about 17 times heavier than the Earth.
The team originally expected the massive planet to be a gas giant rather than a rocky world. The planet orbits its star every 45 days. The official name for the planet is Kepler-10c. To determine the weight of the planet, the team used special instruments to measure its density and found it was much heavier than Earth.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson's greatest fear is that Aliens think we are stupid
If you have ever watched the slick show on TV called Cosmos that is hosted by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, or seen the memes online that feature his visage, you are familiar with the astrophysicist. Tyson has said that alien contact is the next frontier, but that contact may have already come and gone.
Tyson says that his greatest fear is that we have already been visited by extraterrestrials, but they chose to not make contact with us. He says that his fear is that they decided there is no intelligent life on Earth.
Raptor robot mimics the extinct dinosaur of the same name
Researchers around the world are hard at work designing and building robots that can perform all sorts of tasks. One of the robots that these researchers are working on is the Raptor. The bot gets its name from the fact that it is modeled after the velociraptor dinosaur.
Raptor was designed by the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. The both has two legs and a thirds appendage that is like a tail. During tests of the robot on a treadmill, it was able to achieve speeds of over 28 mph.

Google said to spend over $1 billion on satellites for internet access
A rumor is making the rounds that internet giant Google is set to spend over $1 billion to purchase satellites that will be placed into orbit to provide broadband. According to people familiar with the project, Google will be using the low altitude satellites to bring internet access to portions of the country where wired broadband isn't available.
Sources claim that Google will start with 180 small, but high-capacity satellites that will orbit at lower altitudes than traditional satellites. The number of satellites could later be expanded. The satellites that Google will use are reportedly from a communications start-up called O3b Networks.
Researchers pioneer lab-grown teeth with groundbreaking laser method
It's now possible for scientists to regrow actual teeth thanks to the efforts of a team of scientists. A Harvard-led team of researchers found that using a laser beam could trigger human dental stem cells, causing them to create dentin - the kind of tissue that's found underneath the enamel and makes up the majority of the average tooth.
It's historically been difficult to coax stem cells into this kind of specialized growth, according to Digital Trends. But this new technique has done the trick in a lab environment and with animal models. This laser method, outlined in the Science Translational Medicine journal, could even be used for different organic materials if development continues.
It's probably not time to throw out the Colgate just yet, but for now this is a promising step forward in the area of regenerative stem cell research.
Researchers developing millimeter-scale technology for soldiers
Military researchers are helping develop millimeter-scale robotic leg structures to give U.S. soldiers on the battlefield a technological advantage that could save lives. Current robots typically require operating soldiers to lower their weapons, and are unable to traverse the same rough terrain that soldiers might find themselves in.
Researchers hope to use future systems available to autonomously enter and exit buildings, continuously send information to troops on the ground, and to conduct defense and surveillance activities.
"Think of it as a camera on wheels, where soldiers have a one or two-pound sensor that they can throw into a building to assess situational awareness," said Dr. Brett Piekarski, Army Research Laboratory's Micro and Nano Materials and Devices Branch chief. "The soldier controls it like a video game to complete the task."

ISEE-3 satellite is responding to commands after decades
A few days back we mentioned that NASA was working with a group of amateur scientists to get communications with a satellite that launched in 1978 back up and running. The satellite is called the ISEE-3 and NASA has announced that after all these years of no contact from the satellite, it has been contacted and is responding.
The satellite is responding to commands according to team members. The scientists said, "Our team has established two-way communication with the ISEE-3 spacecraft and has begun commanding it to perform specific functions. Over the coming days and weeks our team will make an assessment of the spacecraft's overall health and refine the techniques required to fire its engines and bring it back to an orbit near Earth."

SpaceX unveils Dragon V2 crew capsule to carry humans into space
SpaceX has been ferrying supplies and other items to and from the ISS successfully for a long while now. The company has a commercial resupply contract with NASA. SpaceX also has plans to eventually send astronauts into space aboard a new version of the Dragon capsule dubbed the Dragon V2.
The Dragon V2 capsule was unveiled this week showing the SpaceX capsule that is designed to carry seven astronauts into space. The capsule will be able to bring humans to the ISS and return them to Earth. Once approved for use the Dragon V2 will eliminate the need for US astronauts to hitch a ride to the ISS on Russian Soyuz capsules.

Wu-Tang Has a $5 Million Offer on That One-of-a-Kind Album
Andrew Benge/RedfernsRemember the priceless artifact Wu-Tang forged in secret, the double album titled The Wu: Once Upon a Time in Shaolin …, the one that's going to tour fancy museums before being sold to a single entity? "Offers came in at $2 million, somebody offered $5 million yesterday," the RZA tells Billboard. "I've been getting a lot of emails: some from people I know, some from people I don't know, and they're also emailing other members of my organization. So far, $5 million is the biggest number. I don't know how to measure it, but it gives us an idea that what we're doing is being understood by some." Don't stop till the bid's at $200 million, man.

His Answer: "Talk to him," says Ike Y., 16. "Ask him a question about something about school or something he really likes. Then, after you've been talking for a bit, flirt with him. But don't go oveboard. Just be yourself, and don't sound desperate. That's a total turnoff."
Decoded: Guys go running when girls coming on too strong. Confidence is key, but so is keeping things real and just being yourself.
Your Move: Relax, flash those pearly whites and go for it! Approach him and ask what he did last weekend, what he's doing for the holidays or his favorite sport to play. Let him know you're interested by giving him attention, but don't make yourself sound desperate by laying on the flirtations too thick. Keep it cool, flirt just a little bit and see where things go.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Black House is an oatmeal coffee stout bursting with coffee aroma and flavor. Modern Times is one of the only breweries in the world to roast our own coffee, which allows us to be exceptionally picky about which coffees we use and how we roast them. The result is an abundantly flavorful beer thats incredibly complex and aromatic, with loads of roast character and a chocolate-covered espresso bean finish. But Black House packs all that flavor into a reasonable package: at only 5.8% ABV, it can comfortably be consumed by the pint.

When I tell you that the show tonight was great, IT WAS GREAT~~ So is the Todd giving up his check to Jen. FUNNY!! I really enjoyed the new episode tonight-- you get an A+++. All the shows are getting better. You have three HIT shows on your hands Tyler. It's too bad they are not on YOUR OWN NETWORK!! Waiting for that day that you take tv to a new level even beyond what OWN is doing. Wonder how you will brand your station? "Your station for YOUR life, love and laughter!!" Or "A station that takes you higher." Whatever, you'll come up with something good. IMagine House of Payne, For Better or Worse, The Have and Have Nots, Meet the Browns and The Single Mom's Club. How great would that be? It should be a combo of every successful show on tv (HGTV, Comedy Clubs, Fashion, TV Talk, etc) and that would be a winning combo. O.k. talk to you later. Gladys Soreno

For Better or For Worse.... I hope you man up Marcus, Joseph, and Richard. They are wimpy... They are not handling their business! They need to get Keisha in her place. She should not have that much power! I hope you turn this around and she reaps everything she did! Where are the strong Black men! ??? They have their own business but Keisha is trying to take that and everything else! Joseph wants everything without the commitment! Richard is not using wisdom and handling this divorce. Is this what you are trying to portray!? You can be funny without pulling our men down. Where is this going? I always looked forward to watching most of your shows. The House of Payne was my favorite. You dealt with some real issues... I hope you do the same here! Everything doesn't turn ugly!

Dear Tyler: I have become addicted to the Haves and the Have Nots. Great plot and dialogue - a must see every Tuesday evening. I certainly would appreciate your advice on promoting a play we are about to produce in Los Angeles. This is all new to me -and I am hoping to eventually produce enough income without having to draw on my Social Security. I lost my job - but praise God on the way out the door "thank you Jesus over and over - for God has answered my prayers." I was told that my work ethics were unquestionable and how much they respected me (one day I will write about my experience to help others cope with a very abusive and insecure micro managing boss). Overjoyed at my job lost - to the point of experiencing a high sense of relief and appreciation for every moment of freedom since I left, I am now fulfilling my dreams. What happened? I worked for 41 years and then accepted a new position at another law firm. This turned out to be the worst employment experienced I have ever had in 40 years of work history and brings home a modern twist to 12 years a slave (I was 17 months a slave). I prayed daily that God would deliver me from this horrible, demeaning and dehumanizing work situation. Therefore, upon hearing those magical words, "We are letting you go." I nearly jumped for joy right out of my seat - then they handed me a Settlement Agreement to sign. I was so full of thanksgiving upon hearing "we're letting you go." I almost forgot to read the agreement before signing. Please tell people that losing a job is NOT the end of the world but only a start of a new beginning. I am reevaluating my gifts and how using these God given gifts can help others and create a new living at the same time. Now, back to my original question, can anyone on your staff send me a to do list for promoting a play? Ideas and experience - I am interested. Will come to Atlanta if I have to. I have on my list to create a Facebook account and going to use twitter as well. The name of the play is "The Chicken Shack" and the play will benefit families in need by providing them with food and housing through a nonprofit organization. We have a great director - could not ask for more. Thank you. Sorry for my lengthy post - but you are not reading all of this one - but hope you or your staff will. Thanks again.

She inspired me when I was coming into my early teens as well as now, who'd have thought that she endured such hardships that she had and God has been good to her all her yrs. She is a truly blessed and awesome lady of such sophistication, gracefulness, and poise.

This worked for me - because I am also unemployed right now too. Write down all your good points and your gifts you excel in. Think about which one you have a passion for. For me, I enjoy helping people by training them on a particular skill I have. If you sing, give singing lessons, if you are a great cook - train others on how to cook and think about how you can turn these things into income producing talents. Everyone of us has a skill we can develop in others - for a price. "Blessed are they that mourn (for example, you may mourn a job loss) - for they will be comforted." Peace, Steven.

Dear Mr.Perry I am praying that you are okay ,Dr.Maya Angelou was a phenomenal woman but now she had joined the other soldiers in the army of the Lord ,the greatest tribute we can make for some one who has crossed to the higher side of life, is to live the remaining chapter of our life to their full potential and joy, the BIBLE tell us in John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life, Dr Maya Angelou had a strong faith in God, just make sure you have your ticket to get on the ship of Zion and not just standing on the banks of Jordan so one glorious day you can see your Ms. Willie Maxine Perry and Dr.Maya Angelou again.

The robotic arm is quite popular! Submitted by algorhythmic on Wed, 19/10/2011 - 21:14 I've been surprised at the level of interest shown in my robotic arm with voice control. To be honest, at the time I thought it was a relatively simple hack. I initially submitted the story on slashdot, where it spent more than a day without being posted, but just when I gave up hope that it would get posted, a sudden flurry of emails and comments informed me that something was up - and sure enough, very quickly I had a few thousand website hits.Tags: assorted
Introduction to AI: search Submitted by algorhythmic on Thu, 13/10/2011 - 00:36 As I've mentioned earlier, I've been taking the Stanford online course "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence". Strangely enough I bought the second edition of the book "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach" years ago and have actually used it, especially iterative-deepening search to create calling trees for large numerical programs I had to work with. I found however that the online course explains the algorithms better as the book sometimes is harder to understand. For example, the tree search:Tags: assorted

In addition to having a full-time job, I'm currently taking two online courses: Stanford University's Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

The PS3 controller uses bluetooth and acts like a joystick HID device, and I used pygame to help me process the input events. Additionally, using this I can actually move several joints at the same time. I'll be posting a short tutorial, code and a demo video as well soon! Tags: assorted

You may be the CIO or IT manager for a fairly complex IT environment. You also may already have begun moving your data center to a private cloud paradigm that offers greater efficiency and agility to meet your company's needs.
While there are still a few challenges to work through, most days seem to run fairly smoothly. In the course of a week, however, the landscape changes. You are suddenly drawn into discussions with company management about a potential acquisition or merger in the works.
How do you advise your company on the impact of bringing both IT worlds together, let alone how best to navigate, post-M&A, the smooth integration of the other company's IT assets with yours?
As it turns out, a hybrid cloud paradigm - used in what I call 'swing-shift' mode - may be one way to mitigate risk when integrating IT worlds after a corporate merger or acquisition.
Expanding Use Cases for Hybrid Cloud
We generally define hybrid cloud as the informational and managerial relationship between an organization's internal, private cloud and someone else's cloud (whether that other cloud is public or a hosted, private cloud). The idea of using the fast-growing hybrid cloud paradigm as a swing shift of sorts for post-M&A IT asset integration is the second of two use cases we'll describe here:
1. Cloud Bursting
This is the first and most commonly described use case for hybrid cloud computing. Often referred to as 'cloud bursting,' this allows a company to temporarily expand the processing capability of its own internal, private cloud environment by tapping into the added processing power of an external cloud provider. This scenario is used to better meet short-term, burstable processing needs that are often associated with seasonal fluctuations of retailers or business service providers. Examples that come to mind include Black Friday, Election Day or other significant, periodic inflection points.
Using hybrid cloud to temporarily boost in-house compute cycles can give companies an extra weapon in the capacity-planning arsenal and a better way to balance capital expenditures with on-going operating expenses. Capital expenditures can be budgeted to meet a company's general, steady-state processing capacity while operating expenses are contracted based on usage in order to meet a yearly services rush. The business advantage to buying-for-the-surge is that the additional cost can be associated with the specific event. Subsequent cost/benefit analysis is then focused on that specific event.
2. Swing-Shift IT Integration (Post-M&A)
Admittedly, using a hybrid cloud architecture to aid integration of IT assets for a corporate merger or acquisition project is not as common a use case as cloud bursting. But, it can have much broader appeal to more companies. I call it hybrid cloud in 'swing-shift' mode because this use case relies on an external cloud provider acting as a safe 'swing' architecture (or temporary home) for the merged or acquired company's IT assets and applications.
This type of hybrid cloud usage can help address many of the challenges that occur when acquiring companies with technology assets. Such challenges include:
- Isolating and evaluating possibly outdated technology which the acquired company may not have kept up to date in anticipation of being sold.
- Separating architectures -- especially where there are vast differences in security, compliance or other IT governance issues between the acquirer and the acquired.
In each of these cases, the acquirer may be unwilling to bring such IT assets onto the network or into the data center too quickly or without ample triage around the migration approach. In contrast, a hybrid cloud environment can provide a temporary holding place for users' desktops, mailboxes, or even certain business applications. For the acquiring company it can offer a useful virtual, 'cleansing' environment to use as a base prior to ingesting into the permanent environment.
Swing Shift Hybrid Cloud in Action
In recent years, a few companies have made IT news for their novel use of hybrid cloud to aid in their own M&A integrations.
In 2011, Gartner published its own case study surrounding international Milwaukee-based manufacturer Brady Corporation that had acquired 50 companies in relative short order. The case study, "Brady Corporation: Hybrid cloud sourcing accelerates post-merger integration," [ID Number: G00211838] described various ways the company was able to leverage cloud services to help it migrate IT infrastructure and systems following its various acquisitions.
In late 2012, enterprise cloud provider Virtustream also shared how Domino Sugar used its hybrid cloud services to migrate and integrate IT assets from a recently acquired holding, Tate & Lyle Sugars. In this case, Domino Sugar had to first 'carve out' Tate & Lyle Sugars' business applications from its prior parent company's IT environment before the newly acquired company could be integrated into Domino Sugar's IT environment. At the time, Domino Sugar was also using Virtustream cloud services. To aid the process, the cloud provider deployed an on-premise cloud appliance at Tate & Lyle Sugars' U.K. data center. It then connected the appliance to its own off-premise cloud nodes in the U.S. A post-merger integration, migration and archiving methodology was followed by Virtustream in order to successfully transition and merge IT assets between Domino and Tate & Lyle. [See press release dated 09/13/2012, "Cloud Leveraged for a Rapid Post-Acquisition Integration of Tate & Lyle Sugars." ]
Such use cases highlight hybrid cloud's ability to serve a number of functions, including its use as a viable staging and filtering area for incoming IT assets stemming from a recent acquisition.
Swing-Shift Hybrids: What You Need to Know
Domino Sugar's real-world case describes methodologies and planning needed to successfully use hybrid cloud in this type of swing-shift mode.
Here, it might be helpful to consider that much of the same methodologies and planning apply to the post-M&A environment as they do when you are conducting other major data center transformation efforts:
- Physically moving your company's IT assets to a new data center
- Consolidating or collapsing multiple data centers
- Merging dispersed IT assets after a business-wide reorganization.
In all cases, a wide variety of large and small details and dependencies must be identified, evaluated and addressed. Experienced IT advisors can help minimize a company's risk during this process. This includes knowing where best to employ a hybrid cloud to further minimize risk and streamline integration. Armed with this type of advice, a company in the midst of M&A activity should be able to better address:
- Ways to begin operation of the newly acquired entity within an often tight timeline
- Interim and post-M&A handling of the acquired company's mail servers and Active Directory domains and domain controllers
- Whether or not the acquired company's hardware should be added to the new company or whether it should be subsequently retired
- The impact of archiving some of the acquired company's data and applications vs. retiring applications which may now be obsolete
- The possibility of combining short-term data migration efforts in a hybrid cloud environment with a larger virtualization project. Such an environment may be able to facilitate migrating the acquired company's physical servers into a virtual server environment (P-to-V conversion)
- The prospect of setting up parallel or interim test/development environments via hybrid cloud in order to try out migration and integration efforts between old and new systems, or between the two companies themselves
Other Considerations
In contrast to a cloud provider used for cloud bursting (where usage may only be needed over a matter of hours, days or weeks), usage of a swing-shift hybrid cloud provider is likely to span several months. This can impact what to look for when trying to find the right cloud provider.
Among the points identified earlier in this article, organizations also need to take a closer look at certain IT management elements like data protection and security. The term "hybrid cloud" implies that certain controls like authentication and management/monitoring can be extended from your company to the cloud provider. Even disaster recovery may need to be considered and included. Organizations should also spend time looking at the provider's data migration plan and application migration strategy since the data originates from an external source, the acquired company.
This is also an area where details really matter. A service provider that can effectively serve the role of a swing-shift hybrid cloud provider must exhibit the appropriate level of technical expertise, technological capabilities and customer references. The provider's contract and service level agreement must also have much of these details spelled out before you sign on the dotted line. IT advisors can help in this type of vetting process as well.
Once you have a viable roadmap to help navigate through these potential obstacles, hybrid cloud used in this type of swing-shift mode can be a very satisfying and efficient way to ease the burden of acquisitions. It can also help ease IT operational headaches and smooth the integration of an acquired company's people, processes and IT assets.

A Better American Than YOU 1) Mark Sanford had staff do all this while he was on the Appalachian Trail.
2) Ensign hired his ho's teenage son to "consult" with the Republicans.

LoweredPeninsula The only thing more offensive then his use of lolspeak is the complete trash he unleashed upon Sotomayor and the public, today. If I have to listen to one more conservative white guy speak of his anger and horror about Sotomayor's "empathy" I'm going to puke. 'Cause, how dare she allude to the fact that she's going to judge every case equally that comes before her instead of giving special preference to white males. Yes, it's the first latina judge evah that's going to be racist and prejudice, not the near entire pack of white men who oversaw the court until very recently. GAG.

Sprint's LG Optimus S may be a budget Android device, but apparently that isn't going to stop Sprint and LG from providing Android updates going forward. Today, Sprint announced via its Community Forums that an update to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) is rolling out to some devices beginning today, with all devices being updated within 10 days.
Sprint announced its version of the LG Optimus Black earlier today, which will be known as the LG Marquee. It's a solid mid-range phone, with an appropriate pricetag:
- 4-inch 480x800 NOVA display
- 1GHz single-core processor
- 2GB built-in storage
- 5MP and 2MP cameras
- Android 2.3
- $99 with a two-year agreement
This definitely seems like a worthy contender if you're looking for a solid smartphone on Sprint but don't need the power (or pricetag) of the Photon, EVO 3D, or Epic 4G Touch.
When news broke earlier this month that Google had agreed to buy Motorola Mobility, many members of the tech community immediately began wondering just what would come out of the deal. The Android manufacturers LG and Samsung lauded the decision, both proclaiming that they welcomed the acquisition and Google's commitment to defend Android's interests.
Evidently, however, the South Korean government has some concern about the purchase and has begun nudging Samsung and LG in an effort to bring them away from Android and toward a "coalition of other South Korean companies," intending to build a new mobile OS developed in South Korea.
With the launch of the 404 page design contest a few weeks ago, we wanted to achieve 2 goals:
- supply a premium giveaway that didn't involve social media for a change and
- give the talented readers of Android Police a chance to showcase their creativity and leave a permanent imprint on this website's design and identity
After over 140 submissions - some great, some not so good, some incredibly creative and witty, and some hilarious, I've requested your help in selecting your winner by picking the top 20 designs and putting them up for a reader vote.
Taking a break from our regular social giveaways, last week we announced a creative contest to see which one of our readers can come up with the most creative 404 Page Not Found page for the site and in exchange win a brand new T-Mobile G2x Tegra-powered phone from NVIDIA.
Throughout the contest, I found myself absolutely blown away by some of your submissions, finding it harder and harder to decide who presented the best design.
Update: The OTA is rolling out now, according to T-Mobile support. Changelog:
- Google Videos - A new Videos app has been added that allows you to buy and rent movies.
- Recent apps list expanded - The recent apps list has been expanded to show all apps recently used. After opening the apps list, touch one of the apps to access it.
- Home screen resizable widgets - Widgets built-in to Android 3.0 (Calendar, Email, Gmail, etc.) can now be resized vertically or horizontally on any one of the five home screens.
Skysoft... errr, I mean Skype updated its previously measly Android device support from 5 devices to more than 20 today with the introduction of version 2.1 of its Android app. There are no new features outside of expanded device support, which was badly needed in order for the app to climb out of the sea of 1-star reviews (although stability and quality improvements would have made today's release even sweeter).
Get ready, Verizon customers. IGN just leaked Verizon's alleged 2011 roadmap, and, unsurprisingly, it features Android quite heavily. While there aren't too many details on any of the devices outside of what we already know, it will give you a good general idea of what to expect from Verizon this year:
The Prize
Alright, we heard from a lot of you that social contests just aren't up your alley sometimes - so we've listened.
One of the hottest phones on T-Mobile, the G2x, has just become subject to one of the best deals that I've ever seen. For the next three days you can score this dual-core beast for absolutely free (after $50 mail-in-rebate) with a two-year agreement directly from T-Mo.
- 4 inch 480x800 LCD display
- 1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor
- 8MP rear shooter, 1.3MP front camera
- 8GB built-in storage
- Android 2.3.3
If you've been holding out for the opportune moment to upgrade your phone, you better grab this deal while you can - because it doesn't get much more opportune than this.

On Monday, January 18, 2010, Donjon-SMIT, LLC, an OPA-90 Alliance, was notified by QI Gallagher Marine Services that a vessel required emergency towing assistance. The Tavricheski Bridge, managed by UNICOM Ship Management, had broken a main engine camshaft and lost main propulsion 160 miles Southeast of Nantucket in the North Atlantic. The Tavricheski Bridge, a 50,300 GT tanker, was carrying 32,500 MTs of Naptha. The weather was calm with no significant storms in the area expected within 48 to 72 hours. On January 19, the Donjon Marine Co., Inc. tug Atlantic Salvor, located in Albany, N.Y., was contracted under a BIMCO TOWHIRE 2008 contract to proceed to the incident location and conduct a rescue tow. After a 22-hour transit including a brief stop for fuel, the Atlantic Salvor arrived at the Tavricheski Bridge location. At first light on January 21 the vessel was connected and the Atlantic Salvor proceeded underway enroute for the Stapelton Anchorage in New York Harbor, where delivery occurred early on January 23, 2010.

The CEO of Banco Santander has spoken out against the prospect of creating a bad bank to cover the sector's toxic real estate assets.
The central government is proposing to force banks to remove problematic loans to the real estate sector from their portfolios and pass them over to newly created separate companies. However, these new 'Banks' would not have a banking license and their purpose would be restricted to selling off these assets. This would basically make these new operations 'bad banks', but the government is insisting against useage of the phrase given that the state will not cover any losses.
The government has also insisted that Banks increase their provisions to cover potential losses on real estate assets on their books by 53 billion.
Emilio Botín, Chairman of Santander, said how the Spanish financial system has made "very significant adjustments" over the past two years, ones that the "markets have yet to take on board."
Spain's Minister for the Economy, Luis de Guindos, told the press last week how the rules for removing toxic assets from the banks' balance sheet would be ready shortly. He said the assets would be transferred to the instrumental companies at "market" prices and provisioned for potential losses.
"Each bank will create a vehicle that will have rules that the government will define in a few weeks," De Guindos said.
In a report on the Spanish banking sector issued last week, the IMF said: "Unless the weak institutions are quickly and adequately cleaned up, the sound banks will suffer unnecessarily from a continued loss of confidence in the banking sector."
It suggested that public funding might be necessary to reduce the burden on the banks, but the government is against this idea.

Human Bone Cell Research Group, Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Biology, The University of Liverpool, Liverpool, L69 3GE, UK ABSTRACTThe concept that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) can act as an extracellular signaling molecule via interactions with specific purinergic receptors to mediate a wide variety of processes as diverse as neurotransmission (Edwards et al., 1992), inflammation (Perregaux et al., 1994), apoptosis (Chow et al., 1997), and bone remodelling (Jones et al., 1997; Morrison et al., 1998) is now widely accepted. Since the early work of Burnstock (Burnstock, 1972), the number of characterized P2 receptors responsive to extracellular nucleotides has increased dramatically. It is now known that both osteoblasts and osteoclasts express multiple P2 receptor subtypes, and the increasing number of nucleotide-induced effects reported to occur in bone serves to highlight the importance of these receptors in the bone microenvironment and the bone remodeling processes. In this article we will review work from our laboratory, and others, that has established nucleotides and P2 receptors as important signaling molecules in bone. In particular, we will focus on the expression of P2 receptors by osteoclasts and, more specifically, the P2X7 receptor and its paradoxical role in osteoclast function. |

Revealed: How Lisa Vanderpump's cougar best friend married her STEPSON in family scandal
Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills fans might assume there isn't much about Lisa Vanderpump's life that they don't know.
So they might be surprised to learn that she has a secret stepson, Warren, married to Lisa's one-time best friend Sue Vanner - who is 16 years his senior.
Both Lisa and her husband Ken Todd disapproved of the relationship at first, with the strife this caused discussed on Monday night's episode.
Secret stepson: Warren Todd and his actress wife Sue Vanner were seen on Real Housewives; Warren is the secret stepson of Lisa Vanderpump, while Vanner is her former best friend
Still happy: While Lisa and Ken initially discovered of the relationship, Warren and Sue have had a happy life together
'When Warren first met Sue, the 16 year age difference, the secrecy that had transpired, was not something we supported,' Lisa explained on her blog.
'But I learned a very valuable lesson, when our children make a
choice, remember our opinions and influence are pretty much redundant.
The intimacy between a couple supersedes the parental relationship and
take heed - it is not a battle that is worth fighting.
'It took a while, a few years, that with hindsight was a complete waste of emotion. And now 26 years and a lovely grandson for Ken later, we would have to admit we were wrong.'
All is forgive: Lisa and Sue and now friends again, and even have sons the same age - Max and Ryan. Ryan, far left, is now 21
Happy family: Warren and his father Ken pose with their sons Max and Ryan in an undated family snapshot. The uncle, Ryan, and his nephew, Max, are virtually the same age
Vanner starred as a sultry Bond Girl in the 1977 movie The Spy Who Loved Me in which she was seen lying naked under a pile of furs with Roger Moore.
Her future husband would have been an 11-year-old child at the time, leading to her being labelled a 'cougar'.
But their marriage was a success, with Vanner giving birth to a now 21-year-old son Ryan.
Lisa and Todd were seen visiting London-based Warren and his family in the exclusive French coastal town of Saint Tropez.
Cougar: Vanner romances Roger Moore in the Bond film The Spy who loved me, in which she played a KGB agent
Lisa and Sue, pictured here, first bonded as both were actresses at the same time
Showing that he is as successful as
his businessman father, property developer Warren owns a huge vacation
estate complete with manicured lawn, pool and guesthouse, and he hires
his father and stepmother a helicopter to Paris on a whim to spare them
the drive.
In her blog post Lisa explained that Ken raised Warren as a single father following a failed two-year-marriage when he was just 19.
'He was married briefly for two years at 19, to a young wife who wasn't prepared for the challenging job of being a mother.
'So he then fought for custody of their only child.
'He worked many jobs laboring, night jobs, anything to provide for his son, and, with the help of his mother, he raised an educated, well-mannered young man.
'Life was hard at the beginning. But with sheer tenacity and some sort of innovative business sense, he created a life for his family (including his parents) that otherwise they wouldn't have had.'
And she said they were proud of Warren.
'Warren is very much his fathers son - ambitious, incredibly family oriented, and someone to be proud of.'
Welcome! Lisa and Ken were seen visiting Warren and Sue in Saint Tropez, where the London-based couple have a vacation home
Sue and Warren have a palatial home in St. Tropez, complete with a separate guest house where Ken and Lisa stay
Warren is a businessman and has done very well for himself owning properties in London's posh Notting Hill.
Ken Todd has two younger children, Pandora and Max, with Lisa, and Warren and Sue were guests at Pandora's wedding in Beverly Hills in 2011.
Ken is 16 years older than Lisa, who he married when she was 21.
Family values: Ken and Warren share a drink with Lisa, the businessman raised his son as a single parent
Any lingering tension with Sue has faded, and Ken and Lisa clearly adore Ryan
