Trail Mix: You're just going to have to take my word for it!
We walked today - not a terribly long walk, but at least a 60-minuter. It was pleasant, fun and pretty darn warm (We mentioned that a few times today). I even got these great shots of the routes we decided to take, based solely on the amount of shade up ahead of us. Click here to read the Trail Mix blog.

Nikon Coolpix P7100
Nikon Coolpix P7100 : Back Screen You have two options for image framing with the P7100, an articulating rear LCD and an optical viewfinder. The 3-inch LCD features a 921k-dot resolution, which is extremely sharp and bright. You can tilt it up and down to shoot from various positions and help to avoid glare on sunny days.
6 / 8
Bottom Line
The Nikon Coolpix P7100 is big on image quality and manual controls, although it comes at the cost of size and weight. The camera will appeal to you if you are an enthusiast who doesn't always want to lug a D-SLR around, but is a tough sell if you're looking for a compact and sleek point-and-shoot.

Levitating Graphene Is Fastest-Spinning Object 146
from the onesies-twosies dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Summary fscked up. 30 000RPM isn't exactly much at all.
Ie. almost all RC (radio controlled) model brushless motors can do 30k RPM, and some brushed motors can do that as well...
Nevermind so many other things which do spin reaaally fast
No typo. Read the original abstract: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19424395
500 turns per second. But your HD isn't put to rotation by a light beam - that's the news of this article, not the speed.
So after RTFA(bstract):
At micro-torr pressures, torques from circularly polarized light cause the levitated particles to rotate at frequencies >1MHz, which can be inferred from modulation of light scattering off the rotating flake when an electric field resonant with the rotation rate is applied.
"As a result, the flakes started spinning at 60 million rotations per minute, faster than any other macroscopic object."
"Previously, micrometre-sized crystals have been spun at up to 30,000 rpm"
Following through to the source of that quote:
"Their short axis follows the direction of the linear polarization of the beam. In circular or elliptic polarization, the crystals are spontaneously put in rotation with a high speed of up to 500 turns per second. It is the first time, to the best of our knowledge, that such a result is reported for particles of the size of our crystals."
So, if the 30,000 RPM crystal is interesting because it was a crystal, or because it was small, fine. But if they're saying that 30,000 RPM was interesting for large objects, ummm, turbocharger turbines spin at up to 150,000 RPM.
That said; 60 million RPM is very impressive.
Thrashing is just virtual crashing.

What really sucks is when an "editor" or "contributor" to Neowin FPN takes a topic from "Back Page News" 15-30 minutes after the BPN topic was created and doesn't give any credit to the person(s) who posted it on Neowin first.
It should be a requirement that before front page news is posted, the forums should be checked to see if the news might already have been posted, then give that person, or persons, at least bi-line credits.
On the other hand, if it's in BPN, forums should redirect there.

Look at the replies and views. 0. All that does is redirect it to the front page article.

Ive seen this on another site (dont remember which) but it would draw more attention to the forums and in turn get more registrations....
Instead of the current "comments" in each front page news article, why, when a front page news article is posted, automatically a thread is created in what would be a new secion in the forums called "Front Page News". This way people can have a discussion about it.

Thank you, Carolyn, for helping us raise awareness about oneM2M. The first order of business for this global standards group is interoperability, with cellular certification and provisioning (my passions) being equally important topics. Committee work on the former is underway, with initial discussions about to begin on the latter.
oneM2M wants to bring M2M players to the collaboration table from the telematics, intelligent transportation, healthcare, utilities and industrial automation industries. Anyone who wants to have a voice in how devices will communicate with each other globally is welcome.
Please join us - here's how: http://www.onem2m.org/join.cfm. Many forward-thinking standards bodies and manufacturers have already joined oneM2M, now with over 269 members (list at: http://www.onem2m.org/participants.cfm).

BJBB RP Log: Holding CardsEmilie Lapin: It was a rather boring afternoon at the Bunny Brigade's headquarters; with the weather outside dreadful, cold and dull she was confined to the insides of the HQ, or more precisely the D-rank lounge. Which she didn't particularly mind as she was not in any particular mood to go outside or even to interact with anyone else. The blonde bunny girl had, for the first time in quite a while, pulled out her old deck of playing cards and had found herself a corner in the lounge with a small coffee table and a comfortable chair where she could play a game of solitaire with herself in peace.BJBB RP Log: Holding Cards by Undeciria

AccuWeather: Warmest March ever for cities in more than 25 states
By Kristina Pydynowski
AccuWeather.com Meteorologist
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — AccuWeather.com reports March 2012 is officially the warmest March on record for dozens of cities across more than 25 states and Washington, D.C.
Few will argue March 2012 felt more like late spring or summer across the eastern two-thirds of the U.S., and now meteorologists can also officially deem the month as historic.
Never before in dozens of cities where long-standing records are kept have March temperatures averaged as warm as they did this past month.
Those cities, several of which are listed below, span at least 26 states from the central High Plains to the East Coast and include Washington, D.C.
For Indianapolis, March 2012 marks the first time a monthly average temperature record has been set since August 1936. The last time such a record was tied occurred 66 years ago in March 1946.
The magnitude of the warmth can be put into another perspective by comparing March 2012 with other months.
In Chicago, March 2012 would rank seventh if it were included in the city's list of top 10 warmest Aprils.
The average temperature this past month in Burlington, Vt., was 12.2 degrees above normal, which is now the city's third-highest temperature departure for any month.
February 1981 remains at the top of that list with an average temperature of 14.8 degrees above normal. Typically in March, the average temperature in Burlington comes out to only 31 degrees.
New York City and Philadelphia came less than 0.4 of a degree from being included in the above list, but have to settle for March 2012 being the second-warmest March on record.
Denver also fell just short of last month being the warmest ever March. However, March 2012 will go down in history books as the city's driest and least-snowiest March on record.

UPDATE: Pedestrian killed on Highway 50 in West Sacramento identified as Davis man
A pedestrian who was fatally struck Tuesday morning on eastbound Highway 50, east of the Interstate 80 connector in West Sacramento, has been identified by the Yolo County Coroner's Office as Bryson Rush Labourdette, 25, of Davis.
The incident was reported to dispatchers around 6 a.m. when someone in dark clothes was seen walking where Highway 50 and Interstate 80 merge.
A later report on the California Highway Patrol Incident page indicated that the pedestrian had run into the traffic and been hit. A body was reported in the fast lane of the Highway 50 at 6:16 a.m.
Traffic delays were experienced mostly on westbound Highway 50. All lanes reopened about 10:30 a.m., according to the CHP.

Ask Alison: The Shazamification of fashion
This month's column from regular DRG contributor, fashion & retail insights expert Alison Bishop explores the latest moves in how taste-making got shoppable…
Since fashion is now shared instantly across social media, it's no wonder how we shop for it has become more instant too. From Instagram to Pinterest and Tumblr, these platforms have become a visual marketplace for fashionistas, brands and retailers. Most important are the style leaders or 'taste-makers' that other users follow – and they're the ones responsible for a new Shazam-style of shopping.
Snap it, search it, buy it
Just as another season's month-long fashion week circus kicks off, there is a raft of new apps that target the street-style set with instant-hit fashion, at the click of a photo search. I'm calling this the 'Shazamification of shopping', since the practice of snapping what someone is wearing, then searching, then buying it, mimics the music identifying app Shazam. Last year Shazam announced it would broaden its service by recognising content from TV shows, so that when people 'Shazam' a show, they can link through to buy items worn by presenters or actors.

Case Delayed Hemopericardium with Constrictive Report Pericarditis after Blunt Trauma: A Report of a Surgical Case Hung-Shih Lin, MD,1 Hung-Chang Liu, MD,1 Wen-Chieh Huang, MD,1 Chao-Hung Chen, MD,1 Charng-Jer Huang, MD,1 Chi-Yuan Tzen, MD,3 and Wei-Hung Chen, MD2 Constrictive pericarditis (CP) following hemopericardium has been reported in the literature but its pathogenesis is open to question.
