On March 19th, 2002, Gary McKinnon was arrested for hacking into 97 Pentagon and NASA computers over a 13-month period, in what authorities call the "biggest military computer hack of all time." McKinnon claimed that he found evidence of a secret American space fleet, by way of a list of dozens of "non-terrestrial officers" and their assigned spacecraft, replete with USSS (United States Space Ship) monikers. Might the United States military really have a secret space program? And if so, are we preparing for a space-based war with other nations… or other species? Ancient Astronaut theorists suggest that there are numerous factions of alien races with competing agendas visiting Earth, and that there is evidence they have been in conflict with each other for thousands of years. According to these theorists, there is evidence that these wars actually took place here on Earth in the distant past–not between gods, but between extraterrestrial visitors.TVPG
Over 10,000 crop circles have been reported worldwide, appearing in 50 different countries, and nearly every continent on Earth. These strange designs pressed into crop fields range from simple circles to elaborate pictograms thousand of feet long. The phenomenon has been associated with scientific anomalies, strange lights, and even UFO activity. But critics say that they are all part of an elaborate hoax. But are they? Crop circles have been making modern headlines since the 1960's, but their history can be traced back hundreds–if not thousands of years. The designs themselves often contain encrypted messages and complex mathematical, geometric, and astronomical equations that perplex our top mathematicians and scientists. Ancient Astronaut Theorist, Giorgio Tsoukalos travels to England to meet with researchers and scientists to investigate the phenomenon both on the ground and in the lab to find out what we haven't been told.TVPG
In August of 2014, Russian cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station discovered something incredibly unexpected covering parts of the windows–living sea plankton. If sea life can thrive in space, might the reverse be true as well? Might there be alien life forms that inhabit our seas? Throughout history, there have been tales of strange creatures hiding in Earth's waters. While many discount stories of sea monsters as purely mythological, it is estimated that Earth's oceans are home to between 700,000 to one million species–and shockingly, two-thirds of those species still remain unknown. Considering the recent discovery that some sea life can survive in outer space, is it possible that tales of giant creatures like the Kraken and The Loch Ness Monster are evidence of extraterrestrial entities taking refuge beneath the seas?TVPG
Billions of dollars have been spent in our quest to find an "other Earth." Since the launch of the Kepler Telescope in 2009, scientists have identified thousands of planets capable of supporting life. Is it possible that this discovery finally answers the age-old question: "Are we alone in the universe?" Could it be that just as we seek out other habitable planets, advanced extraterrestrials from distant galaxies did the same with Earth in the remote past? Throughout world mythologies, there are tales of beings from the stars coming down to Earth. The Dogon tribe in Africa believes their gods came from the Sirius star system. The Maya associated their gods with the Pleiades star cluster. And according to the Hopi tradition, life itself was seeded by celestial beings. Ancient Astronaut theorists propose that not only has our planet been visited by extraterrestrials, but that they are responsible for our very existence.TVPG
Ancient Astronaut theorists have suggested that many of the divine beings depicted in cultures throughout the world are not really divine–or mythological–but instead reflect extraterrestrial visitations that our ancestors did not understand. If true, what can account for all the different types of beings that are depicted, from anthropomorphic birds and reptiles, to gods with blue skin to multi-limbed humanoids? Might there have been numerous alien species inhabiting Earth? Could the accounts given by modern day alien abductees be evidence that these otherworldly entities continue to visit Earth to this day? And is it possible that they all have a common ancestor? In 1928, archaeologist Julio Tello discovered the Paracas skulls of Peru–elongated heads with cranial volumes at least 25% larger than the largest known human skulls. Some believe that these remains are of extraterrestrial origin.TVPG
Good and Evil. Light and Dark. God and Satan. In nearly every culture there are stories of opposing forces at work here on Earth–forces of a supernatural or otherworldly nature. Could these forces really exist? And if so, what is the true nature of the dark forces? Throughout history, there have been individuals accused of being in league with agents of darkness. The infamous mad monk Rasputin believed he served as a conduit for an otherworldly realm, the Nazi SS were said to have tapped into dark powers through ancient symbols, and famed occultist Aleister Crowley claimed to have summoned a non-human entity through the use of dark magic. Is it possible the entities these men claimed to be in touch with were, in fact, extraterrestrials? And might humans serve as the pawns in a cosmic battle between the forces of light and dark?TVPG
Incredible strength… Superior intelligence… And even the ability to reproduce. In the 21st century, robots are being programmed to do everything from performing surgery on humans–to exploring other planets. And humanoid robots are rapidly reaching a level of sophistication that was thought to exist only in science fiction. But what are the implications of creating robots that are increasingly intelligent and independent? Is the obsession with creating counterfeit humans really pointing the way to mankind's future… or to its past? Greek stories dating to 2000 B.C. tell of the god Hephaestus creating robots to build weapons, as well as the bronze giant Talos. In Egypt, the Pyramid Texts say that the god Osiris was dismembered, then reassembled and brought back to life just like a machine. If sophisticated robots really did exist in the ancient world–what function did they serve? Who built them? And what happened to them?TVPG
When German aerospace engineer Wernher von Braun joined the U.S. military and space programs after World War II, he quickly became one of the foremost scientists credited with developing the ballistic missile, the first American satellite and the enormous Saturn V rocket that enabled man to reach the moon. Von Braun's bold predictions that we would explore Mars and build a space station have become reality. But how is it that von Braun–whose contemporaries included such scientific geniuses as Nikola Tesla, Robert Oppenheimer, and Albert Einstein–was so far ahead of everyone when it came to rocketry? Did he have secret information collected by the Nazi party during WWII–or access to advanced technology recovered from the alleged UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947? Or is it possible that the greatest rocket scientist the world has ever known found his inspiration not on our world, but another?TVPG
Enormous manmade caves… Unexplainable structures… And underwater discoveries that challenge everything we know about the past…Is it possible that an advanced civilization inhabited Earth thousands of years ago? And if so, were they human, or something out of this world? Modern archaeologists are continuously unearthing artifacts and sites that defy the conventional timeline of human history. Throughout the world we find megalithic stone monuments that are attributed to mysterious ancestors, strange humanoid figures that date to pre-historic times, and evidence of ancient underground shelters hewn out of solid rock. Could it be that a sophisticated culture existed on here Earth–thousands and even tens of thousands of years earlier than we believe? Could the stories of a time when gods and otherworldly beings inhabited the planet be more than just mythology?TVPG

The extensive delay of Zanzibar netball players to join the training camp set by Chaneta at the Filbert Bayi Secondary School in Kibaha is increasingly complication the pre-set coaching programme.
The Chaneta acting secretary general, Rose Mkisi, said time is running out and the Zanzibar players are gradually behind the training schedule.
Zanzibar players are supposed to join their Mainland counterparts at the Bayi school camp to train ahead of competing in next month's Africa championship to be staged at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
Mkisi said the preparations for the championship have been greatly affected by the delay of the Zanzibar national team players to join the camp.
She said the Chaneta technical panel had previously agreed that provisional squads made up of players from both sides should be at the camp for twenty days before selecting the final squad.
According to earlier announcement, Zanzibar provisional squad at the camp should have ten players with their coach while the mainland team should have double of the number.
The national team coach was then supposed to name the final squad of 20 players for the national team for intensive training.
After the final squad of 20 players then six players will be dropped to remain with the rest for the championship sanctioned by the International Federation of Netball Association, (IFNA).
Mkisi said the unexpected delay of the Zanzibar players has caused Mainland provisional team to overstay at the camp. The resultant impact is a total disruption of training programme and hardship for the coach.
Mkisi said the Zanzibar team was competing at the East African Netball Championship in Kampala and had promised to join the Bayi camp soon after the end of the tourney.
Mkisi declined to disclose the aftermath of the training camp disruption and an alternative course of action should the Zanzibar team fail to show up.
She diplomatically said Chaneta is still giving Chaneza the benefit of doubt as their players would join the camp.
"They have not joined the camp and I don't know what reason behind is, but am of the view that they are training a head of the championship," she said.
The ten days IFNA tournament will help teams to improve on the international ranking and also will offer Taifa Queens a chance to qualify for the next year's Commonwealth Games.
So far eight teams have lined up for the championship while Chaneta is also busy raising funds to cater for the event.

District attorneys in Colorado are weighing their options after Boulder County became the first in the state to drop pending marijuana possession cases in the wake of a public vote to legalize the drug.
Routt County District Attorney Brett Barkey said he plans to meet with senior staff members Thursday to decide whether to proceed with prosecuting petty marijuana cases that are pending in the courts.
Grand Junction Police Department officers have already been told to stop issuing ounce-or-less marijuana tickets, according to police documents.
Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett said Wednesday his office will drop possession cases under an ounce for adults. He said the effect would be minimal because his office already considers marijuana a low priority.

Hailan Rising
Hailan Rising v1.12.4 Open Beta Client
Developed in Unity 3D and leveraging the Mixamo.com animation system, Hailan Rising has none of the barriers typically found in traditional MMORPG's, such as gear grinding, character leveling or class restrictions. Thanks to the game's unique Etherea System players can learn any ability from the Physical, Magical, or Utility skill trees through the use of Etherea Shards, offering literally millions of possible character archetypes. Paired with no gear or weapon restrictions, players can accentuate their new character with items specifically suited to their build, creating a truly unique gaming experience. This design allows the player to get into the PvP action and playing with their friends immediately instead of forcing a weeks-long grind session.
Players can choose between two factions, Humans and Orcs, as they battle to secure territory in order to survive. Set in the post-apocalyptic fantasy world of Hailan, players find themselves in the role of survivors of a global flooding that has remade the world anew. With the flood waters receding, both the Orcs and Humans scramble to capture and defend new lands from surviving indigenous life and each other. When not fighting for contested territories, players can venture into the realms' free zones, battling creatures and searching for powerful Etherea Shards that can make the difference between success and failure.

RALEIGH (AP) -- A civil rights group is praising legislation to limit the use of unmanned aircraft by North Carolina people and police and criminalize conduct involving drones that crosses that line.
Two Democrats and two Republicans filed a bill at the General Assembly this week to prevent anyone -- including government agencies -- from using powered unmanned aerial vehicles to gather criminal evidence and other data.
There are exceptions when police have search warrants or reasonable suspicion someone's life is in immediate danger. Violations of the law would be misdemeanors.
The American Civil Liberties Union in North Carolina said Thursday the bill would protect privacy rights before drone use expands greatly. The city of Monroe agreed this month for its police department get a drone for crime scenes, searches and natural disasters.

LONDON (AP) -- Officials say Britain's Prince Harry is returning to the United States -- but this time he's skipping Las Vegas.
St. James's Palace said Monday that the 28-year-old prince will travel to the U.S. east coast as well was Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado. His trip will include trips to Arlington National Cemetery, Walter Reed National Medical Center and the competition between British and American veteran athletes in the Warrior Games in Colorado Springs.
He will also visit Hurricane Sandy victims in New Jersey.
Harry, who is third in line to the throne, made headlines on another U.S. visit, when he was caught frolicking in the nude after what was alleged to have been a game of strip billiards in his Las Vegas hotel room.

Although it was overshadowed by the recent national Tea Party convention in Nashville, another conservative group recently held a rally that featured several Greater Cincinnati notables in attendance.
Americans for Prosperity's Ohio chapter held an "Already Taxed to the Max" rally Jan. 30 at Capitol Square in Columbus. Among those attending the event were former Hamilton County Commissioner Phil Heimlich; his wife, Rebecca; former Congressman Rob Portman from Terrace Park, who's running for the U.S. Senate; and members of the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes.
CityBeat doesn't like to revel in anyone's misery or misfortune. Sometimes, though, there's a confluence between a person's political philosophy and subsequent events that begs for attention and analysis. One such instance is the foreclosure and impending sale of the house owned by an anti-tax leader.
A private, off-campus apartment complex geared toward students and located just blocks away from the University of Cincinnati is facing possible foreclosure.
The Bank of America has filed legal action in the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas against the owner of McMillan Manor, a five-story, 122-unit apartment building that opened in 2006.
2010 already is beginning to look a lot like 2009 at The Cincinnati Enquirer.
In a memo issued Dec. 1, an executive with The Gannett Co., The Enquirer's Virginia-based owner, wrote that newspaper employees must take another five-day, unpaid furlough within the first quarter of the year. Bob Dickey, Gannett's U.S. community publishing president, blamed the continuing weak economy.
UPDATE: Cincinnati City Councilman Greg Harris, a pledge opponent, said Berding's description of the pledge is disingenuous. "Did Berding's anti-layoff pledge in any way make furloughs a condition? No," Harris said. "The effect of the pledge would have been to prevent the FOP from making any concessions because they wouldn't need to. The manager's only leverage is the threat of layoffs."
ORIGINAL ITEM: Cincinnati City Councilman Jeff Berding believes a council majority is being self-defeating by refusing to sign a Berding-created pledge not to lay off police officers or firefighters in 2010 or 2011.

text: The new socialism Wired UK 23 June 09 by Kevin Kelly Bill Gates once derided open-source advocates with the worst epithet a capitalist can muster. These folks, he said, were "some new, modern-day sort of communists", a malevolent force bent on destroying the monopolistic incentive that helps support the American dream. Gates was wrong: open-source zealots are more likely to be libertarians than commie pinkos. Yet there is some truth to his allegation. The frantic global rush to connect everyone to everyone, all the time, is quietly giving rise to a revised version of socialism. Communal aspects of digital culture run deep and wide. Wikipedia is just one remarkable example of an emerging collectivism - and not just Wikipedia but wikiness at large. Ward Cunningham, who invented the first collaborative web page in 1994, tracks nearly 150 wiki engines today, each powering myriad sites. Wetpaint, launched just three years ago, hosts more than one million communal efforts. Widespread adoption of the share-friendly Creative Commons alternative copyright licence and the rise of ubiquitous file-sharing are two more steps in this shift. Mushrooming collaborative sites like Digg, StumbleUpon, the Hype Machine and Twine have added weight to this great upheaval. Nearly every day another start-up proudly heralds a new way to harness community action. These developments suggest a steady move toward a sort of socialism uniquely tuned for a networked world. We're not talking about your grandfather's socialism. In fact, there is a long list of past movements this new socialism is not. It is not class warfare. It is not anti-American; indeed, digital socialism may be the newest American innovation. Whereas old-school socialism was an arm of the state, digital socialism is socialism without the state. This new brand of socialism currently operates in the realm of culture and economics, rather than government - for now. The type of communism with which Gates hoped to tar the creators of Linux was born in an era of enforced borders, centralised communications and top-heavy industrial processes. Those constraints gave rise to a type of collective ownership that replaced the brilliant chaos of a free market with scientific five-year plans devised by an all-powerful politburo. This political operating system failed, to put it mildly. However, unlike those older strains of red-flag socialism, the new socialism runs over a borderless internet, through a tightly integrated global economy. It is designed to heighten individual autonomy and thwart centralisation. It is decentralisation extreme. Instead of gathering on collective farms, we gather in collective worlds. Instead of state factories, we have desktop factories connected to virtual co-ops. Instead of sharing drill bits, picks and shovels, we share apps, scripts and APIs. Instead of faceless politburos, we have faceless meritocracies, where the only thing that matters is getting things done. Instead of national production, we have peer production. Instead of government rations and subsidies, we have a bounty of free goods. I recognise that the word socialism is bound to make many readers twitch. It carries tremendous cultural baggage, as do the related terms communal, communitarian and collective. I use socialism because technically it is the best word to indicate a range of technologies that rely for their power on social interactions. Broadly, collective action is what websites and net-connected apps generate when they harness input from the global audience. Of course, there's rhetorical danger in lumping so many types of organisation under such an inflammatory heading. But there are no unsoiled terms available, so we might as well redeem this one. When masses of people who own the means of production work toward a common goal and share their products in common, when they contribute labour without wages and enjoy the fruits free of charge, it's not unreasonable to call that socialism. In the late 90s, activist, provocateur and ageing hippy John Barlow began calling this drift, somewhat tongue in cheek, "dot-communism". He defined it as a "workforce composed entirely of free agents", a decentralised gift or barter economy where there is no property and where technological architecture defines the political space. He was right on the virtual money. But there is one way in which socialism is the wrong word for what is happening: it is not an ideology. It demands no rigid creed. Rather, it is a spectrum of attitudes, techniques and tools that promote collaboration, sharing, aggregation, co-ordination, ad hocracy and a host of other newly enabled types of social co-operation. It is a design frontier and a particularly fertile space for innovation. In his 2008 book Here Comes Everybody, media theorist Clay Shirky suggests a useful hierarchy for sorting through these new social arrangements. Groups of people start off simply sharing and then progress to co-operation, collaboration and finally collectivism. At each step, the amount of co-ordination increases. A survey of the online landscape reveals ample evidence of this phenomenon.i Sharing The online masses have an incredible willingness to share. The number of personal photos posted on Facebook and MySpace is astronomical, but it's a safe bet that the overwhelming majority of photos taken with a digital camera are shared in some fashion. Then there are status updates, map locations, half-thoughts posted online. Add to this the six billion videos served by YouTube each month in the US alone and the millions of fan-created stories deposited on fanfic sites. The list of sharing organisations is huge: Yelp for reviews, Loopt for locations, Delicious for bookmarks. Sharing is the mildest form of socialism, but it serves as the foundation for higher levels of communal engagement.ii Co-operation When individuals work together toward a large-scale goal, it produces results that emerge at the group level. Not only have amateurs shared more than three billion photos on Flickr, but they have comprehensively tagged them with categories, labels and keywords. Others in the community cull the pictures into sets, and the whole thing is searchable. The popularity of Creative Commons licensing means that communally - if not outright communistically - your picture essentially becomes my picture. Anyone can use a photo once it's posted, just as a communard might use the community wheelbarrow. I don't have to shoot yet another photo of the Eiffel Tower, since the community can provide a far better one than I could take myself. Thousands of aggregator sites employ the same social dynamic for threefold benefit. First, the technology aids users directly, letting them tag, bookmark, rank and archive for their own use. Second, other users benefit from an individual's tags, bookmarks and so on. And this, in turn, often creates additional value that can come only from the group as a whole. For instance, tagged snapshots of the same scene taken from different angles can be assembled into a stunning 3D rendering of the location (check out Microsoft's Photosynth.) In a curious way, this proposition exceeds the original socialist promise of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" because by its very nature, it betters what you contribute and delivers more than you need. Community aggregators can unleash astonishing power. Sites like Digg and Reddit, which let users vote on the weblinks they display most prominently, can steer public conversation as much as newspapers or TV networks. (Full disclosure: Reddit is owned by Wired's parent company, Condé Nast.) Serious contributors to these sites put in far more energy and resources than they could ever hope get in return, but they keep contributing in part because of the cultural power these instruments wield. A contributor's influence extends way beyond a lone vote, and the community's collective influence can be far out of proportion to the number of contributors. That is the whole point of social institutions - the sum outperforms the parts. Traditional socialism aimed to ramp up this dynamic via the state. Now, decoupled from government and hooked into the global digital matrix, this elusive force operates at a larger scale than ever before, and the reach of its influence is massive.iii Collaboration Organised collaboration can produce results beyond the achievements of ad hoc co-operation. Just look at any of hundreds of open source software projects, such as the Apache web server. In these endeavours, finely tuned communal tools generate high-quality products from the co-ordinated work of thousands of members. In contrast to casual co-operation, collaboration on large, complex projects tends to bring the participants only indirect benefits, since each member of the group interacts with only a small part of the end product. An enthusiast may spend months writing code for a subroutine when the program's full utility is several years away. In fact, the work-reward ratio is so out of kilter from a free-market perspective - the workers do immense amounts of high-market- value work without being paid - that these collaborative efforts make no sense within capitalism. Adding to the economic dissonance, we've become accustomed to enjoying the products of these collaborations free of charge. Instead of money, the peer producers who create the stuff gain status, reputation, enjoyment, satisfaction and experience. Not only is the product free, it can be copied freely and used as the basis for new products. Alternative schemes for managing intellectual property, including Creative Commons and the GNU licences, were invented to ensure these "frees". Of course, there's nothing particularly socialistic about collaboration per se. But the tools of online collaboration support a communal style of production that shuns capitalistic investors and keeps ownership in the hands of the workers and consumers.

text: Let there be LED: The future of the light bulb Magazine Features 06 September 11 by Dan Koeppel This article was taken from the October 2011 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.Brett Sharenow is presiding over the Pepsi Challenge of lightbulbs. The CFO of Switch, a Silicon Valley startup, Sharenow has set himself up in a small booth at the back of the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, and he's asking passers-by to check out two identical white shades. Behind one hides a standard incandescent bulb, the familiar lighting technology that has gone largely unchanged since Thomas Edison invented it 132 years ago. Behind the other is a stunning, almost Art Deco-style prototype that holds ten LEDs and a secret fluid. It's a liquid-cooled bulb, as radically different from Edison's invention as anything that's ever been screwed into a standard socket and, Sharenow hopes, the next big thing in the £18 billion lighting industry. The challenge: can you tell which is which?It's day one of Lightfair, the annual international trade show for everything that glows, glares, flickers or shines -- 500 exhibitors and 24,000 visitors prowling row after row of light after light. This is the last Lightfair before new regulations governing light-bulb efficiency begin to take effect in the US in January, and there's a real sense of history and urgency on the show floor. Ready or not, the way that Americans -- and EU citizens -- light homes and offices is about to change, and the technology that will lead the way is somewhere in this hall. In the US, the provisions of 2007's Energy Independence and Security Act will effectively ban all incandescent bulbs by 2014. In the European Union, all incandescents will be banned for use in the home by 2012. They will mostly be replaced throughout the 27-state bloc with "compact fluorescent light" (CFL) bulbs, which have attracted much criticism, not least for their mercury content. So the race to find a better replacement for fluorescents is still very much alive. The industry is banking on LED lighting, and it's virtually the only bulb technology on display at Lightfair: there's barely a single incandescent or sickly CFL to be seen. Just 6,000m2 of companies racing to fill the world's billions of standard sockets -- and betting on LEDs as the way to do it.There's an excellent reason why LEDs have taken on the aura of inevitability: they are semiconductors, and like all solid-state technology they are getting better and cheaper on a predictable curve. In 1999, a researcher named Roland Haitz, then head of semiconductor R&D at Hewlett-Packard, coauthoured a paper that became known as "Haitz's Law", the lighting industry's manifesto. By charting the historical prices of LEDs and projecting forward, Haitz estimated that the amount of light that they produced would increase by a factor of 20 per decade, while the cost would drop by a factor of ten. Haitz's Law has proven remarkably accurate. But the lighting industry still has major hurdles to clear before LEDs gain acceptance from consumers. Beyond the very real technical issues -- cooling, costs, light colour -- there's the public's lingering distaste for CFLs, which in the US failed miserably in their projected role as the bulb of the future. That sentiment has fed into a Tea Party-fuelled backlash against the regulations -- with attempts to roll them back entirely.Incandescents convert less than ten percent of the energy pumped into them into light, losing the rest as heat. More efficient bulbs could save billions of pounds, decrease dependence on foreign oil, and significantly reduce greenhouse gases. Still, the consumer backlash resonates and not simply because CFLs are horrible, flickery, ugly and unreliable. Evolutionary biologists believe that human lighting preferences are the result of our trichromatic vision (possessing three independent channels for conveying colour information) -- rare in non-primates -- which makes us particularly suited to daylight and the perception of primary colours. There's an anthropological component as well: for 400,000 years, humankind has been banishing darkness with fire. And Edison's bulb is, at its core, a burning filament. Abandoning incandescents means abandoning fire as a light source for the first time in our history.The front of the hall at Lightfair is the province of the industry's big three -- Philips, Osram Sylvania and General Electric (GE), founded by Edison. The behemoths give way to a second tier occupied by the likes of Toshiba, Samsung, Leviton and Honeywell. Behind them, smaller companies -- accessory makers, vendors and Asian component suppliers -- fill out the rest of the available floor space, right up to the back wall. Here, Sharenow is presiding over the Switch booth."Which one is which?" Sharenow asks. Most people get it wrong, which is significant. When they select what they feel is the superior light, they're selecting the Switch. Though there are countless 60W LED prototypes in evidence, few are available for side-by-side comparisons with incandescents. Most are sealed inside display cases. The Switch bulbs are out in the open: crystalline shells of clear, faceted glass, with aluminium prongs holding yellow-tinted LEDs that shine through the cooling liquid to cast a warm, living-room-quality glow -- and draw only 13 watts to do it. Most lightbulbs are rated at or equivalent to 60W or 100W, but nearly every LED brought to market so far has come in the 40W equivalency range, good for little beyond cupboards. Brighter bulbs are either too hot, too expensive (upwards of £30, though they can last for 20 years) or both. Switch plans to start selling its 60W-equivalent bulb this autumn for around £18. "People have always needed light," Sharenow says. "This is a light source people will want." Read page 2 123 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

Will Strong Encryption Protect Privacy and Make Government Obsolete?
Recorded: Tuesday, April 24, 2001
Many people have wondered how technological progress will affect political, economic, and civil freedoms. With the rise of encryption software, the National Security Agency's Echelon worldwide surveillance system, and the FBI's Carnivore e-mail snooping program, this subject is no longer the exclusive domain of speculative thinkers or futurists, it is the subject of intense public-policy debate. Will privacy-enhancing technology improve faster than privacy-threatening technology? Should the government mandate privacy standards? Should it enforce contracts in cyberspace, or would private law do a better job? Economist, physicist, and legal scholar David Friedman discussed these and related questions about technological change and the case for and against government involvement.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. (WUSA9) -- The nephew of a man found dead in his home was found not guilty of two charges in relation to his murder.
Ho Young Jun found not guilty of conspiracy to commit murder and not guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Kwang Sup Hur. Hur's wife found him dead on September 1 inside his home in the 13900 block of Hedgewood Dr in Woodbridge. The cause of death was determined to be strangulation, say police.
Police said in September that an investigation in Virginia and New York City revealed three relatives, a brother-in-law, sister-in-law and nephew, as possible suspects. At the time, police believe their motive was an insurance fraud in which all would benefit from a life insurance policy payout of $1 million.
Jun and the two other relatives were arrested in the New York/New Jersey area on September 12, 2011.
After a three-day trial by jury in the Prince William County Circuit Court, Jun was found not guilty.

The NNSA quarterly summary of experiments conducted as part of its science-based stockpile stewardship program is now available. The summary presents descriptions of key NNSA facilities that have been recently conducted stockpile stewardship experiments.
The quarterly summary prepared by NNSA's Office of Defense Programs provides descriptions of key NNSA facilities that conduct stockpile stewardship experiments. These include the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory, National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories.
The U.S. Stockpile Stewardship Program is a robust program of scientific inquiry used to sustain and assess the nuclear weapons stockpile without the use of underground nuclear tests. The experiments carried out within the program are used in combination with complex computational models and NNSA's Advanced Simulation and Computing Program to assess the safety, security and effectiveness of the stockpile.
Y-12's Direct-Hire Construction team was recently honored for achieving more than one million hours worked without a lost-time accident and zero recordable injuries throughout 2012.
The Y-12 team achieved the one million-hour milestone in June 2012, and in January 2013, attained 1.4 million hours (more than 800 days) without a lost-time accident. The team's last lost workday occurred in September 2010.

Sandia National Laboratories has become a pioneer in large-scale passive optical networks, building the largest fiber optical local area network in the world.
The Sandia network pulls together 265 buildings and 13,000 computer network ports and brings high-speed communication to some of the labs' most remote technical areas for the first time. The network will save an estimated $20 million over five years through energy and other savings and not having to buy replacement equipment. Sandia expects to reduce energy costs by 65 percent once the network is fully operational.
Sandia, which will spend about $15 million on the project, needs superb computing capability for the problems it tackles as part of its support for the mission for NNSA.

Using equipment that expands on technology funded by NNSA's Laboratory Directed Research and Development program, an international team has achieved the first successful measurement of the spin rate of a supermassive black hole. The team included scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. In addition, Livermore's High Energy Focusing Telescope served as the predecessor to NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, which was used to complete the study. The findings are significant because they enhance scientists' understanding of how black holes and galaxies evolve.

Above is an artist's rendering of a supermassive black hole. Matter flowing into the center forms an accretion disk around it and the black hole's spin creates an outflowing jet of energetic particles.
NNSA Acting Administrator Neile Miller last week hosted New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez and Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam while the governors were in Washington, D.C., to attend the National Governors Association winter meeting.
The engagements provided Miller the opportunity to thank the governors for their active and steadfast support of NNSA's laboratories and plants in their states. NNSA recognizes the central leadership role the governors play in support of the NNSA mission and appreciates the opportunity to advance the national nuclear security agenda to a broader cross-section of the nation.

Thinking about cancer or dealing with cancer risk can be scary or overwhelming, but we believe that receiving information and resources is comforting, empowering, and lifesaving.
Genetic information can refer to family history of a disease or a genetic test result. Genetic discrimination occurs when a person is treated differently because he or she has an inherited disorder or is at risk to develop an inherited disorder. Most concerns about genetic discrimination relate to discrimination by health insurance companies and by employers.

text: Wanted to share the video from last night's session, some of the highlights anyways. I really hate shirt training, it is alot harder than what people realize. This is my last warmup of 500 lbs raw, then going shirted 585 x 3, 650 for a single and then 750 for fail. If I could actually learn how to jack the collar on this shirt I know I could do a whole lot more than but it seems every time I have jacked the collar down I nearly decapitate myself so I always leave the collar up near my neck, which leaves alot of pounds on the table. Anyhow I'm 5 weeks out, probably shoot for a 725-730 at the meet. Once this meet is over I am going to do a raw meet in the near future.

The latest in spa trends, the hammam room (otherwise known as the Turkish bath) is the Middle Eastern equivalent of a steam bath. It's similar to a sauna in that it's a communal room heated by a continuous flow of hot air (minus the coals), but is more closely related to ancient Greek and Roman bathing practices.
Traditionally, the bather starts in the hot room, splashes themselves with cold water, performs a full-body wash, and then receives a massage before finally heading to the cooling room for a period of rest and relaxation. Though I didn't indulge in the massage, I figured this couldn't be a half-bad way to spend my Sunday.
First Impressions
I robed up in the changing room and slipped into some jelly sandals before heading in. It was far larger than I expected, completely tiled and consisting of a series of platforms at different levels, a sink in the middle of the room, and a shower in the corner. Ambient music played in the background and a fountain trickled down an inlaid rock wall. A handful of people were on different platforms around the room, either on their backs or with their legs up against the wall. I noticed they were using rolled-up towels as neck pillows, so I found a platform of my own and did the same (all while trying to hide that this was my first time).
The Experience
After settling into my spot and taking a few deep breaths, I immediately noticed that the air and humidity were more comparable to a jungle climate than the dry air of a sauna. The heat was also a lot more gradual and somehow more relaxing, and it took me far longer to reach my limit. When I had enough, I rinsed my face and neck with cold water from the sink and headed to the Zen lounge, which consisted of couches for reclining and pitchers of fruit-infused ice water and tea for rehydrating. The difference in temperature between the warm, wet room and this air-conditioned lounge was a refreshing jolt and left my skin feeling tingly and refreshed.
The Verdict
I left convinced that the ancient Greeks and Romans definitely knew how to relax in style. There's no need to splurge and go all-out on a full-body massage as long as this tiled oasis exists. Consider me a lifer. This was a far, far better choice than staying in and doing my laundry all day.

text: The second stage began and ended in Campbell River, a fishing town on northern Vancouver Island. There, a small but dedicated crew of riders has established a vast network of technical cross-country trails. The rocks and roots and rippling trail undulations would be difficult in any conditions, but steady rain turned much of the trail into a soupy muck. Roots were slick as ice, and the normally smooth sections of trail were churned into fields of mud by 520 hard-charging racers.

Headliners Junior Dos Santos and Frank Mir, as well as co-main-event winner Cain Velasquez, each earned disclosed paydays of $200,000 and were the top earners at this past weekend's UFC 146 event.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today obtained the salary information from the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
The total disclosed payday for the May 26 event was $1,233,000.
UFC 146 took place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The all-heavyweights main card, which saw Dos Santos successfully defend his belt with a win over Mir, aired on pay-per-view. FX and Facebook carried the prelims.

def. Antonio Silva: $70,000
Roy Nelson: $40,000 (includes $20,000 win bonus)
def. Dave Herman: $21,000
Stipe Miocic: $20,000 (includes $10,000 win bonus)

Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for
items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures
do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a
substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any
other "locker room" or special discretionary bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. They
also do not include portions of the pay-per-view revenue that some
top-level fighters receive.
For example, as previously reported, UFC officials handed out additional
$70,000 UFC 146 bonuses to Hardy and Nelson ("KO of the Night") and Struve and Sass ("Submission of the Night").
In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to
the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the

December 25th, 2009. Lakers (23-4) vs Cavs (22-8) @ Staples Center. TV: ABC (Of course). Time: 2:00PM PST
The day we've all been waiting for all year long has finally arrived and it so happen to land on Christmas day. The Los Angeles Lakers vs the Cleveland Cavaliers. The #1 SG Kobe vs the #1 SF LeBron. I will especially enjoy this game because Cleveland's big man acquisition (as for Phoenix) this past off season has so far been a disappointment in my mind. I remember receiving my SI mag with LeBron and Shaq on the cover and laughing when I saw it. I've grown to accept almost all NBA hype as a waste of time and effort to even take serious. This new Cleveland duo was quickly devoured by the media along with this upcoming Christmas game.
We will see if Shaq comes out of the woodwork and helps with ABC's network ratings. He needs to seriously start earning his $20,000,000 salary.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- The U.S. Justice Department has filed a civil rights complaint against a North Carolina sheriff over what it says is his systematic racial profiling of Latinos.
The suit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court follows a two-year investigation during which federal authorities concluded Alamance County Sheriff Terry S. Johnson and his deputies made unwarranted arrests with the goal of maximizing deportations.
Federal officials say Johnson violated the constitutional rights of numerous U.S. citizens by illegally targeting and detaining Latinos without probable cause. The complaint also alleges Johnson sought to obstruct the federal investigation by withholding documents and falsifying records.
Johnson is a Republican first elected in 2002.He says the probe is politically motivated. Johnson's department has already been suspended from a program to screen the immigration status of jail inmates.
