NASA shoots laser at moon as part of deep space communications test
NASA has successfully sent the Mona Lisa to a spacecraft orbiting the moon almost 240,000 miles away, part of a planned trial run of a newly devised laser technology.
The new technology, which may become common practice soon, was able to send the famous painting to the spacecraft via a laser beam, making Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa the first digital image to be beamed to space. Measuring just 30 inches by 21 inches, the Mona Lisa, an oil on a poplar wood panel, is arguably the most famous work of art in existence.
The painting was sent to NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been orbiting the moon for three and half years. The Orbiter contains a laser-tracking system called the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA), which NASA scientists send laser pulses to from Next Generation Satellite Ranging station at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. By sending pulses to the Obiter, NASA scientists can find the space probe's exact location around the moon.
Last March, a team of scientists sent a black and white copy of the Mona Lisa to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter by entering a series of numbers in a 152 by 200 pixel grid. The values that were entered by the NASA team ranged from zero to 4,095 and each presented a different color black.
The number of each pixel of the image was then translated into laser-tracking pulses. Every one of the laser pulses was released between one and 4,096 extremely short time slots. The pulses were fired at around 300 bits per second. According to NASA, precise timing was the key to transmitting the image.
Up near the moon, LOLA received the pulses and figuring out the time that each was sent, the software was able to piece together the exact color of black that was entered for each pixel. Ultimately, LOLA re-created the original black and white image of the Mona Lisa all the way at the moon.
LOLA's Mona Lisa, was not entirely perfect, however. Even in calm skies, the Orbiter experienced atmospheric turbulence that caused transmission errors of the laser pulses. Ultimately, interference caused a 15 percent error rate when putting the picture together. In order to perfect these imperfections, the NASA scientists used Reed-Solomon data coding. This type of coding is most commonly used to right the wrongs that may be acquired when playing CDs and DVDs back.
The Orbiter then returned the Mona Lisa back to the NASA scientists on Earth using its standard radio communication system to be sure the painting made it with no problems. Amazingly, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter was also able to continue its routine mapping tasks while copying the Mona Lisa.
"This is the first time anyone has achieved one-way laser communication at planetary distances," says LOLA's principal investigator, David Smith of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "In the near future, this type of simple laser communication might serve as a backup for the radio communication that satellites use. In the more distant future, it may allow communication at higher data rates than present radio links can provide."
While the project seems a bit strange, NASA noted that it has a very practical purpose. The space agency said the successful conclusion of the test means it can now begin work on the Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD), NASA's first long-duration optical communications mission. LCRD will help develop concepts and deliver technologies applicable to near-Earth and deep-space communication, according to space agency officials.
The test comes as NASA has refocused its efforts on studying the lunar surface. The U.S. space agency recently crashed a pair of orbiting probes into the side of a pair of lunar mountains, part of an experiment to test the composition of the lunar soil. NASA has announced plans to return to the moon, although recent budget cutbacks may hinder the agency from meeting its stated goals.
The experiments were conducted by a team of NASA researchers led by Xiaoli Sun, who works for the Goodard Space Flight Center.

Having a fingerprint scanner on a cellphone is just as stupid as having it on a computer, it's nothing but a security hazard, your fingerprints will be smeared all over your device and/or keyboard and it will be much easier to bypass than an ordinary password.
Now, apart from that, sure it'd be nice to show off with. But there's nothing that can do anything like it with the NS. One thing I did see though was using an NFC-card as a "key" for your phone.
I tend to agree with the opinion that Biometrics on a phone are just a little over the top and could lead to some problems. The idea that your print would be smeared all over the device, however, is just ludacris. The issues I see arising would be, for example, disabling the phone from being returned to you. Just as it prevents people who would use their phones maliciously it prevents people from trying to find the owner of a found device. I once worked at a movie theater and often we returned found cell phones by calling people on their speed dial and asking whomever picked up to inform the person whose number appeared on their caller id that there phone had been found.
Sent from my MattedBlues CM7 Google Nexus S!
I'm sorry but what does that have to do with other people being able to use your phone? The other issue would be in situations like my wife and I have; we have the same phone and often times I take her phone for the day in order to fix issues on her phone but if her phone required her fingerprint to unlock I couldn't do that. Or another example; I usually drive when we go places but most of our friends text/call me about plans and I often get emails and texts about work while we're driving and in both of these cases, I usually need to respond as soon as possible if not immediately. If my phone required my fingerprint to unlock it would add a very unnecessary step to the process of having her respond to these messages.
I'm not saying there are no uses for a fingerprint scanner; for example if you have a lot of sensitive information on your phone like a lawyer or a government official or a doctor or any other number of professions might then requiring your fingerprint to unlock makes sense. But for an average Joe user like me or many other users it just seems like a lot of cloak and dagger to protect my score in Paper Toss lol

good product4/23/2009
We've been using these devices for almost a year. We have had very positive experience with over 6 of these devices. They support very high resolution and use USB to power the device instead of a power outlet, VERY NICE feature! The only thing we did not like is there is no Audio wire that comes with this. So you will have to purchase a 15-foot "3.5mm to RCA Audio wire" separately.

From HuffingtonPost.com:
The schismatic bishop who deeply angered Jews and embarrassed the Vatican by publicly denying the Holocaust was ordered to pay a $13,500 fine for violating a German law that makes it a crime to deny the Holocaust.
Judge Karin Frahm in the Bavarian city of Regensburg issued her ruling on Friday (April 16), according to The Associated Press, after relying on written statements when Bishop Richard Williamson declined to appear in court.
Williamson, a member of the breakaway Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), had told Swedish television in a 2008 interview that "no more than 300,000 Jews perished in Nazi concentration camps ... not one of them by gassing in a gas chamber."

That has stretched job searches. About a quarter of those searching for work — 2 million people — have been out of a job longer than six months. The recovery isn't jobless anymore. The economy has regained 328,000 positions in the past four months after shedding 2.7 million during the downturn.
Slowly, more people are getting interviews and offers. Some of the first to benefit are people willing to take temporary jobs, added by companies still unwilling to commit to long-term staffing.
"This upswing in the last couple of months has been steady and strong and across the board," says John Boone, chief executive of Employment Trends, a small temp agency in Beaverton, Ore., that supplies companies including a number of semiconductor plants.
The hours worked by Boone's temps increased by about 40 percent — equal to 134 more full-time positions — from October to November, usually a peak month.
New Reality?
But economists say many of the jobs lost during the downturn won't come back. That reflects what some analysts say was over-hiring by U.S. businesses when times were good, as well permanent changes including the relocation of jobs overseas.
The new reality has begun to sink in this year, spurring many jobless workers to go back to school or shift their focus in a bid to find something new. It hasn't been an easy transition. "I see a lot of older students on campus. I see people in their 50s that are dragging their book bags behind them on wheels. It's really very humbling," says Vicki Wilson, an administrator at Alamance Community College in the textile hub of Burlington, N.C.
Other workers have had to lower their sights, settling for survival jobs at much lower pay. They, too, remain doubtful that a rising economy will lift them off the rocks.
Terry Gaines, for one. Gaines lives in Portland, Ore., which has led all other large cities in unemployment. He became part of the statistics in July 2001 when he lost his job as a software support manager. In theory, Gaines became part of the rebound when he finally found a job this past August as a sales associate at a Saks Fifth Avenue store. But he's making just a third of his previous pay and sees a limited upside, even looking to next year.
"I am very fortunate that I do have a job," he says. But the economy "is not turning around as much for individuals like myself. We are still fighting to make ends meet."
Others have charted a strategy assuming that conditions won't soon improve.
Bob Blair lost his quality control job at an auto parts plant in July. The 53-year-old Blair, who's from Mebane, N.C., between Raleigh and Greensboro, joined the job hunt along with thousands of workers from textile and other plants that have shut across the state.
Blair first looked for a similar job, but got no offers. So he retooled, enrolling in a truck driving course. The idea, he says, was that a company who hired him to drive would realize his other talents and move him to a better job helping run its safety department.
The course finished in October. But Blair, who hasn't yet found a position, is reluctant to look too far ahead. Of the 86 former co-workers who lost their jobs when he did, just two have found comparable work.
"I don't expect anything to hop out and bite me and I don't think the economy is that strong," he says. "No matter what the indicators say, I think the indicators are false."
