HTTP:: Smallest Semiconductor Laser Created at UCB
--------
Ever since lasers first appeared, efforts have been oriented towards making them more efficient, smaller, larger, or more powerful. While some laser facilities boast instruments spanning hundreds of feet in size, some scientists are working on the micro- and nanoscale, to create devices with applications in handling single molecules or nanostructures. Recently, scientists at the University of California in Berkeley (UCB) have devised the smallest semiconductor laser in the world, again innovating this field of research, ScienceDaily reports. The innovation is that much more important, as the team has not only managed to shine light in such a small space, but has also been able to sustain it as it has moved along. This essentially means that it has developed a laser. “This work shatters traditional notions of laser limits, and makes a major advance toward applications in the biomedical, communications and computing fields,” UCB Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center !
Director and Professor of Mechanical Engineering Xiang Zhang explains. He is also the leader of the team behind the new laser. The work was funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF). In a paper published in the August 30th advanced online issue of the respected scientific journal Nature, the experts describe that the new ...

HTTP:: Electronic Stimulation of Muscles to Fight Wrinkles
--------
When considering the methods available to fight the most troublesome signs of old age, wrinkles and saggy skin, we all know that they are quite limited: either Botox, which freezes the muscles of the face, or fillers that add more volume to the face, making it plumper. However, as of late, a third option has started gaining more ground: electronic stimulation of the facial muscles is supposed to fight wrinkles and other signs of aging, a piece in the Daily Mail reveals. Electronic stimulation of the muscles is definitely not a new technology, as some of us have probably already used it on parts of our bodies that needed more toning, thanks to home products that work the abs, bums and thighs. However, it’s just now that it’s starting to be used for the face, after research has shown that, by working out the muscles, wrinkles and saggy skin appear later on and are less obvious than without the extra “exercise.” “Latest research has shown that it’s loss of volum!
e, as much as wrinkles and sagging skin, that contributes towards making us look old â€" hence the explosion in the number of women opting for plumping fillers.

Drakan: The Ancients' Gates is a videogame developed by Surreal Software Inc. and published by Sony Computer Entertainment of America. The game was only released for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony and launched in January 2002.The title can be classed as being a cross between role playing gaming and an adventure experience, with some medieval and fantasy elements. It is being played from a third person perspective.Drakan: The Ancients' Gates is a pretty typical role playing fantasy experience that came out at a moment when developers and publishers were interested in cashing in on a trend. There's a very old and somewhat decaying world, that of Drakan, which is depicted using the full-fledged possibilities of the PlayStation 2.There are, of course, immortal and very powerful Spirit Dragons held captive within it. There are the protagonists, which are a Dragon, called Arokh, and a very capable and female warrior, called Rynn. They need to save the aforementioned spiritua!

Apple has issued its first statement in regards to recent cases of exploding iPhones, suggesting that such cases are isolated, while the issue is not with the devices themselves, but rather with inappropriate use. “To date, there are no confirmed battery overheating incidents for iPhone 3GS and the number of reports we are investigating is in the single digits,” Apple said in a statement. “The iPhones with broken glass that we have analyzed to date show that in all cases the glass cracked due to an external force that was applied to the iPhone,” the company added. According to a CultOfMac report, almost a dozen exploded iPhones have been reported in France alone, with another being reported in Britain. The latest such mishap reportedly occurred in Belgium, where a teenager’s iPhone allegedly went up in flames as well. Needless to point out, investigations on the issue are far from over. It should be noted that, while Apple claimed, “There are no confirmed bat!

South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung has announced today that it plans on opening its on-device application store for all Samsung smartphones on September 14. Already expected to kick off this year, the Application Store is set to be launched in the UK, France and Italy, the company states, mentioning that it will also come to over 30 countries in the near future, including Germany and Spain. At the same time, it should be noted that the app portal will only be available on Omnia and I8910 HD handsets, with Omnia II (I8000) and OmniaLITE (B7300) to see support shortly after the launch. The new Samsung Application Store comes to the market in line with other application portals launched by leading mobile phone makers and wireless carriers, in a trend that was initiated by Apple's App Store. According to Samsung, mobile phone users will find a wide range of applications available at its app portal, including games, references, social networking, e-books and other solutio!
ns. In order to access the store, Omnia users will have to install a mobile client available for download at samsungapps.com, while I8910 HD ones only need to update their software.

Pingie: HTTP:: How Lesser Termites Eavesdrop on Stronger Ones

HTTP:: How Lesser Termites Eavesdrop on Stronger Ones
--------
Termites are very commonly known among those who have wood homes. The tiny insects can enter the inner structure and start foraging in it until the entire household is in danger of falling down on itself. Experts have known for a long time that two species of termites can easily coexist in the same tree or piece of wood, and naturalists have now finally determined how they manage to keep away from each other. The line of research is especially true for smaller, less aggressive and less numerous termites, which stay away from larger, more voracious colonies. The drywood termite, Cryptotermes secundus, is a good example of this. Organized in colonies of as little as 200 members, these insects are not well equipped to face their more aggressive competitor, the Coptotermes acinaciformis species, with which they often share the wood. While C. secundus only forages in one tree at a time, a single C. acinaciformis can occupy as many as 20 trees simultaneously. In experiments, scie!
ntists have determined that the lesser species has the ability to stay out of the path of the stronger one, but, thus far, how this was accomplished remained a mystery.“We already knew that chewing termites generate vibrations which they use to determine wood size and quality, so it seemed possible t...

HTTP:: Rambo 5 with Sylvester Stallone Greenlit
--------
Not long ago, Sylvester Stallone promised that the fourth “Rambo” would be his last, just like “Rocky Balboa” was the last “Rocky” film. At one point, the star even hinted that making another movie of the type would be too physically challenging for him, and suggested that he would stick only to directing and writing scripts. Whether Stallone realized he still had it in him to make another “Rambo” film or not, the bottom line is that he is to start working on it this spring, as Variety can confirm. The fifth film will see Rambo return to his special missions, with Stallone attached as the main star and director. No mention has yet been made on whether he will also pen the script, but, given that he wrote all of them so far, one can presume that is not really that far-fetched, industry insiders say. Fans also have something else to put their hopes in, namely Stallone’s promise that he would try to take the upcoming “Rambo” in a slightly different dire!

Two new photos of Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) from the third “Twilight” movie, “Eclipse,” have just made their way online, thanks to director David Slade and Twitter â€" and, of course, his willingness to keep fans up-to-date with all progress on the film. One pic shows Taylor in full makeup for the film, while, in the second, he can be seen doing a backflip. “Mr. Taylor Lautner. A photo I took during early camera lighting tests. Not a whisker in sight.” Slade writes of the first photo, which is a close-up on Taylor’s face after makeup was done with him. The second shows his incredible physical abilities, those he most likely obtained after training intensely for the part of the wolf in the “Twilight” sequel. It’s still impressive no matter what, fans believe. “Taylor Lautner Pic from set, yes that is him mid backflip. He does it from standing still.” Slade writes, apparently just as impressed with the actor’s performance as his fans are. “Ne!

An asteroid impact would be so devastating to our planet, that the survival of life itself on it would be jeopardized. Although, as far as we know now, the threat of that happening in the short term is fairly small, British experts from the Stevenage space company EADS Atrium are currently working on a new spacecraft, a “gravitational tractor” that would have the ability to deter a space rock from a dangerous course years before it comes within close range of the planet. Weighing as much as ten tonnes, the new instrument of averting apocalypse would rely solely on gravity to do its job. According to the BBC News, the idea is still in its early days, and a prototype of the new defense system has yet to be developed. The effort, however, is not ludicrous and makes so much more sense once you take into account the figures set forth by NASA's Near-Earth Object Program.

Dragon's Lair 3D: Return to the Lair is a videogame created by Dragonstone Software and published by Encore Inc. It was released on the last day of 2002. It was made for the GameCube, the PlayStation 2 from Sony, the PC, and the Xbox from Microsoft, and classed as an action adventure title played from a third person perspective, incorporating elements of a shooter, a role playing experience and some problem solving. The game is not too involved in any of the genres, instead trying to create an adventure where each element is easy to access and complete.It is positioned as a three-dimensional version of the game initially released in 1983. The protagonist is a goofy yet very brave hero named Dirk the Daring, who is on a quest to save his princess Daphne.

HTTP:: New Keyboard Layout to Benefit Autistic People
--------
Autistic people are notoriously difficult to converse with, and scientists proposed bridging this divide with computers some time ago. But this has proven to be hard to do as well, mostly because of the large number of keys that sufferers have to use. To solve this problem, experts from the Project Blue Skies have created a keyboard with a unique layout that features no more than two buttons. The keys are able to perform a wide range of functions, making the device similar to a normal one. The teachers who are part of the Project have also designed the keyboard following a new curriculum, which they hope will benefit the children in the sense that they will become able to explore the online world the best way they see fit. The basic concepts related to the new keyboard, called OrbiTouch, were developed more than ten years ago by human-factors engineer Pete McAlindon, from the Maitland, Florida-based BlueOrb enterprise. The expert says that the new keyboard also prevents a!
nd alleviates the existing carpal tunnel syndrome. This means that even people with limited use of their fingers can still enjoy its benefits. Turning the concept into reality became possible once the US National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded the researchers working on the device the Small Business Innovation Research series of fund...

The BlackBerry Storm 2 is getting really close to its launch on Verizon's airwaves, and the carrier is preparing for the release of the second Storm by lowering the price of the existing flavor. To be more precise, the original touchscreen BlackBerry device can be purchased from Verizon for only $49.99, though the signing of a 2-year contract agreement is still a requirement. For what it's worth, the new price the BlackBerry Storm is available at with Big Red doesn't sound bad at all. Although the handset has been greatly criticized for the issues it came with to the market, which Research In Motion admitted to, some of the latest firmware updates that have been released for it fixed some of the problems, and the Storm proves to be a great device in the end.

HTTP:: Blink 182 Pays Teary Tribute to Friend DJ AM
--------
This Friday, the lifeless body of DJ AM, real name Adam Goldstein, was found in his New York City apartment after having apparently accidentally overdosed. On Saturday, Blink-182, close friends and occasional collaborators of the DJ, had to perform in Hartford, Conn, and used this opportunity to honor their late friend, as People magazine can confirm. Travis Barker, the Blink-182 drummer, was also extremely close to AM, the two having been the only survivors in a plane crash that claimed the lives of other four passengers last year. Even before the concert, Travis Tweeted that he might not be able to perform â€" not after having heard of the tragic news of his friend’s passing â€", yet both him and his other two bandmembers pulled it together and took to the stage. At the same time, they also succeeded in honoring AM the best way they knew how, through music. “This night is really hard for us on stage. We lost a dear friend yesterday. His name was Adam Goldstein. Yo!
u probably know him as DJ AM. He was an innovator and a genius and he loved music more than anything else. Above all he was a dear friend.” bassist Mark Hoppus told the crowd, asking for a moment of silence in the DJ’s honor. As the lights onstage dimmed and faded out altogether, lighters were elevated above th...

--------
If there’s one thing 22-year-old star Penn Badgley, along with the rest of the “Gossip Girl” cast, could do without, perhaps that would be less media attention while shooting for scenes of the popular CW series. Speaking recently with JustJared, the actor has admitted that the paparazzi on the set of the show make things extremely hard, up to the point of rendering a kiss with Hillary Duff completely unromantic, almost like an ordeal. “It’s such an unromantic experience!” Badgley says of getting to make out with the famous singer and actress who has been cast for a guest appearance. However, Penn assures, it was not Hillary’s kissing that made the scene so horrible, but rather the fact that they had so many people gawking at them â€" more than there should have been, for that matter. “Not only is the crew surrounding us, but there’s a million [expletive]in’ paparazzi. Literally every time we’d do it, we’d hear a machine gun shutter speed. It was ver!
y much a job.” the actor further explains. Of course, as fans of the show must know, Badgley is not the only star from “Gossip Girl” to complain of what the excessive media attention is doing. The fact that most of the scenes are shot in the streets only mak...

A hacker broke into the database of the UK Parliament website by exploiting an SQL injection vulnerability. The incident reveals very poor and questionable password security practices on behalf of the website administration.The security hole on parliament.uk was discovered by a Romanian greyhat hacker going by the online handle of "Unu," who has made a habit of testing high profile websites for similar bugs. Unu's "hit list" so far includes the websites of large antivirus vendors Kaspersky, BitDefender, F-Secure, Symantec, renowned newspapers, such as The International Herald Tribute and The Telegraph or big ISPs, like British Telecom, Tiscali and Orange France or, more recently, Yahoo! Local.According to Unu, the vulnerability is located in a php script used on the lifepeeragesact.parliament.uk section, which fails to properly sanitize parameters being passed through. This allows a potential attacker to execute SQL queries directly into the database easily by manipulating !
the URL.The screen shots published by Unu reveal that the Web server is running on Debian 4.0 (Etch) Linux with a MySQL 5.0.32 database backend. The website's database is called parliament_live; fortunately, it cannot be accessed directly from a remote host.What is more disconcerting though is what a peak into the database table h...

--------
Creating paper cubes out of cross-shaped pieces of paper is something that children learn to do ever since kindergarten. They use the cubes simply to play around, or to store various toys inside. In a similar line of reasoning, a group of researchers from the Johns Hopkins University (JHU), in Baltimore, Maryland, devised a new method of producing precisely patterned carbon nanosurfaces, which can be folded up and modeled into various shapes. The innovation could have deep implications in the fields of medicine and computing, as they would allow for various other nanostructures to be added or binded to them, NewScientist reports. Over the past few years, experts have been trying to attach organic molecules, vaccines and DNA strands to nanoparticles for various applications in the human body, with various degrees of success. With the new structures, it may become a lot easier to simply store the “cargo” inside the cube, until the exact destination for the ensemble is r!
eached. The active components could then be released, ensuring a considerably higher delivery percentage than with conventional methods. In these techniques, the cargo is simply attached to the surface of the nanoparticles and exposed to outside influence. “At the macroscale, everything can easily be patterned in th...

For Google every millisecond counts. This is true for all its products but it's especially important for its search engine. While some would argue that today's search engines are already too fast for any improvement to be noticeable, it hasn't stopped any of them from constantly making speed-related changes. One move that would give back the speed crown to Google, as some claim that Bing is now faster, is the introduction of AJAX technology to its search page which, despite having been in testing for several months without any official update on its status, may be close to a wider rollout. AJAX is actually a group of standard web technologies designed to allow pages to update data or certain segments of the page without having to be fully re-rendered or reloaded. Google has been using AJAX in a small-scale test since last year but has not extended it beyond its initial scope so far. While Google's search results page is one of the fastest in the world and speed has always!
been one of the biggest concerns, with AJAX the company manages to make it even faster by rendering only the parts that need updating when conducting a new search. As such, only the results themselves and the ads get pulled from the servers and are redrawn for the user. Initially, many in the SEO business feared that this move would render SEO...

HTTP:: Tevatron Could Beat LHC to the Higgs Boson
--------
Ever since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was under construction, the Batavia, Illinois-based Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) began to work extra-hard on finding the elusive Higgs Boson. This elementary particle would complete and firmly prove the Standard Model in physics, which now features two classes of particles, leptons and quarks, alongside “force carriers” known as gauge bosons. Only powerful accelerators could hypothetically discover the particle, if it exists, and the LHC was especially built for this objective. However, in its initial test runs, the large, CERN-operated accelerator malfunctioned and entered a period of extensive repairs, which are due to be completed this fall. It won't be until 2011 that the LHC will become capable of firing beams of protons at each other in full force, so its American counterpart, despite its smaller size and lesser power, has more chances of actually finding the Higgs Boson in its own experiments. “Th!
e Tevatron definitely has a chance,” expert Greg Landsberg, from the Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island, who is also an LHC detector scientist, adds. Experts at Tevatron say that, by early 2011, their accelerator would have allowed them to collect sufficient amounts of data to either confirm, or completely rule...

After two days of following the International Space Station (ISS) in orbit, space shuttle Discovery finally caught up with the outpost and docked on it at 8:54 pm EDT (0054 GMT, August 31), on Saturday. The hatch connecting the two spacecraft was opened just 90 minutes later, and the number of astronauts on the space lab again jumped to 13. NASA astronaut Nicole Smith handed the Soyuz slip seat  to ISS flight engineer Timothy Kopra, essentially taking his place in the Expedition 20 crew. Kopra will return home aboard the next Soyuz flight, scheduled for mid-September, Space reports. Earlier on Saturday, the STS-128 mission crew inspected the heat shield on the shuttle, as it was trailing behind the ISS. The check was carried with the usual sensor-laden pole, which swapped the ceramic tiles making up the thermal defense. Discovery's underbelly and wings were looked at, and preliminary results show the craft to be in good health, according to the crew and mission controlle!

Offering no indication that she may have come up with an answer to that, the star is featured in the current issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, where she discusses anything and everything, from her boyfriends, to her phobias and how she perceives Hollywood men. As fans must already know, Fox is now promoting her latest movie, the horror comedy “Jennifer’s Body,” which is scheduled for a nationwide release on September 18. With so little time to go until then, the gorgeous actress is certainly sparing no expense in getting her name out there, even if that means dishing out on some of the most intimate and perhaps even embarrassing aspects of her life â€" like how she always gets diarrhea before she gets up on the theater stage.

Particular DNA segments can be found in various amounts from one person to another, even if they are in the same line, as in family. These variations play an important part in our evolution. They can hold the key to boosts of the immune system and to developing resistance to certain diseases, but can also make it a lot easier for certain conditions to set in. Numerous diseases have thus far been linked to an anomalous number of DNA copies at a certain location, and the new method will make it a lot easier to devise screening tests to assess a person's vulnerability to one of these conditions. The new method, named micro-read Fast Alignment Search Tool (mrFAST), was developed by experts from the University of Washington, including Department of Genome Sciences senior fellow Dr. Can Alkan and graduate student Jeffrey M.

HTTP:: Madonna Explains Gypsy Discrimination Comments in Romania
--------
The other week, as she was performing on her Sticky & Sweet tour in Bucharest, Romania, Madonna managed to get herself booed for cutting her set and addressing a 60,000-strong crowd on the issue of discrimination. In a statement released over the weekend to gossip blogger Perez Hilton, the singer’s rep says her intention was not to offend Romanians and Eastern Europeans in general, but only to follow her heart. According to Madonna’s words on the Romanian stage, Eastern Europe (and Romania) still has serious problems with discrimination, especially towards minorities such as is the case of the Gypsies. In her “speech,” the singer pled for more tolerance by pointing out that just being different was never good enough a reason to hate and discriminate. Either because they did not appreciate being lectured or because the issue was addressed by someone who clearly had little knowledge of it, the Romanian public chose to disagree. Yet, the singer’s heart was in!
the right place, her rep is now saying. “Madonna has been touring with a phenomenal troupe of Roma musicians who made her aware of the discrimination toward them in several countries so she felt compelled to make a brief statement.” the publicist explains. Therefore, she did not wish to offend in ...

HTTP:: Nuclear Pore Complexes Begin to Reveal Their Secrets
--------
For a long time, scientists have tried to understand the exact construction and operating mechanism of complex protein structures inside cellular nuclei called nuclear pore complexes (NPC). These intricate structures, made up of as much as 30 individual proteins, are extremely large, and yet remained impenetrable to viewing techniques for many years. Now, a new series of studies, from researchers at the Rockefeller University’s (RU) Laboratory of Cell Biology, finally begins to shed some light on the elusive formations, ScienceDaily reports. In order to maintain their integrity, cells are careful about what they let inside their nuclei. This is where all the genetic material is stored, and, if intruders make it through, then viruses and other pathogens can gain a foothold in the organisms. This may start a chain of mutations that could lead to severe diseases such as cancer. NPC are, in fact, transport machines, which only bind to selected series of chemical compounds. !
These chemicals are “known” to be safe, so the NPC carry them. The RU investigation has now revealed the make-up of one of these proteins, as well as the interactions it has with a partner. The study is the first to prove a theory that holds that ring-like structures exist within the pores, around each opening they...

HTTP:: DJ AM s Death Not a Suicide
--------
On Friday, DJ AM’s body was found lifeless in his NYC apartment, after not being seen or heard of for days. Paramedics pronounced the star, real name Adam Goldstein, dead on the scene, concluding that he might have OD’ed based on the drug paraphernalia scattered around the house. Toxicology results are underway, but reports claim that, if anything, DJ AM was not suicidal, as TMZ can confirm. The shocking death of the 36-year-old star was initially linked to the severe depression he had reportedly been suffering from for almost a year, ever since he and best friend Travis Baker had been the only two survivors of a terrible plane crash that claimed the lives of other four passengers. According to unnamed sources speaking to TMZ, it was the post-traumatic shock that pushed DJ AM back to a life of drugs â€" he had been clean for nine years before that â€", as doctors started prescribing him anti-anxiety medication so that he could deal with his fear of flying. Nevertheless!
, suicidal he was not, the same sources vouch. “Law enforcement sources directly connected with the death of DJ AM tell us that his death was the result of an accidental overdose and not a suicide â€" and there is a tragic, ironic twist of fate.

HTTP:: 039 Personal Space 039 Is Hardwired in the Brain
--------
In spite of the fact that humans are largely social creatures who like to come together on various occasions, we all have what is called our personal space, a minimum safe distance from those we are meeting and conversing with. If someone trespasses this space, then we feel threatened and uncomfortable. For a long time, researchers believed that this behavior was something of an oddity, but a recent study has uncovered the region of the brain that codes personal space limits. In a paper published in the August 30th issue of the respected scientific journal Nature Neuroscience, experts from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) describe the brain structure that they have found to be of significant importance in dictating each individual's personal space, ScienceDaily reports. This area is the almond-shaped amygdala, a formation in the medial temporal lobes. In previous researches, it has been associated with controlling negative emotions such as anger, and especi!
ally fear. The new research could bear significant implications for devising new courses of treatments for diseases such as autism, in which distance is an issue. In their experiments, the Caltech team analyzed the actions of a unique individual, a woman known only as SM, who had extensive damage on the amygdala, in both hemispheres...

Pingie: HTTP:: New 039 Breathalyzer 039 Will Soon Detect Lung Cancer

HTTP:: New 039 Breathalyzer 039 Will Soon Detect Lung Cancer
--------
Experts from the Israel Institute of Technology, in Haifa, have recently announced that they are working on a new electronic nose that will have the ability to detect early signs of lung cancer, before the disease advances far enough to show up on conventional viewing methods such as X-rays and MRI. Relying on the power of gold nanoparticles, the new biosensor will be advanced enough to isolate and identify all the compounds that are released from the lungs once cancer starts setting in. This approach will hopefully provide oncologists with a new strategy in fighting the diseases. The earlier on it's identified, the higher the chances that aggressive treatments won't be needed. Healthcare experts could thus have more options at their disposal, outside chemotherapy, or the removal of large amounts of lung tissue. Technology Review reports that the new device has already proven itself to be more promising than any other similar instruments thus far constructed. All of thes!
e instruments analyze biomarker chemicals known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which form inside the lungs, and which we breathe out regularly. The thing is that these elements are in such low concentrations, that they are extremely difficult to detect. Previous methods of detecting them relied on boosting their concentrat...

Pingie: HTTP:: New Way of Cloning Zebrafish Devised

HTTP:: New Way of Cloning Zebrafish Devised
--------
The field of human health research is heavily reliant on the usual monkeys and lab rats, but other animals are used for assessing disease development or drug efficiency as well. Among them are the small fruit fly and the zebra fish. The latter was cloned several times over the last years, but through complex and expensive methods. Now, scientists from the Michigan State University (MSU) have developed a new way of doing this that is both cheaper and more effective than the previous method. According to a paper published in the latest issue of the journal Nature Methods, for the past 20 years, zebrafish have served as animal models for analyzing human development, as well as defects that may occur at birth. “After the mouse, it is the most commonly used vertebrate in genetic studies. It is used in cancer research and cardiovascular research because they have many of the same genes we have,” MSU Professor of Animal Science Jose Cibelli, one of the co-authors on the new !
study, says. Over more recent times, the zebrafish has been used for more complex analyses. For instance, a number of studies has focused on the way certain groups of cells function within the body, and the animal of choice for viewing this was the small fish. With the growing number of uses experts have for it, cloning the animal has b...
