HTTP:: NOAA Finds Sunken WWII Patrol Boat
--------
In the darkest day of World War II, when German submarines were patrolling the waters alongside the Eastern seaboards of the United States, many a trawling and fishing vessels were pressed into active duty, outfitted with small cannons and machine guns, and sent out on patrol. Large numbers of these vessels fell prey to experienced U-Boat commanders, which torpedoed them with every chance they got. One such casualty of war, a ship named YP-389, was recently discovered in an area of the ocean known as “The Graveyard of the Atlantic,†where many ships and submarines sunk. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) discovered the converted fishing trawler resting some 300 feet (91 meters) below the surface, about 20 miles off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The area is littered with ship wrecks, which resulted from the Battle of the Atlantic. American, British and German ships alike found their end there, alongside members of their crews. When YP-389 sun!

Microsoft is beginning to backport Windows 7 features to Windows Vista, and as an integral part of the process, the company is also upgrading Vista’s graphics technology to the level of Windows 7. In this regard, the Redmond-based company has made available for download the Beta development milestone of the Platform Update for Windows Vista. It is via the Platform Update for Windows Vista Beta that users running the second service pack for Vista will be able to access the new DirectX 11 package, and bring the operating system that succeeded Windows XP on par with Windows 7. Essentially, what Vista SP2 users will be getting is the latest iteration of the DirectX platform. DirectX 11 is in no way a single component. It is, however, a sum of technologies packaged together. The Platform Update for Windows Vista Beta offers the complete new DirectX package, allowing end users and developers to take advantage of components such as DirectWrite, Direct2D, Direct3D 11, Direct3D 10!
Level 9, and DXGI 1.1. In addition, the download will also deliver Windows Graphics, Imaging, and XPS Library updates to the Windows Imaging Components, XPS Print API, and the XPS Rasterization Service.

This system is quite nice and quite unique: you have to write: -level x (where x is a number between one and ten, five being the normal level of difficulty).The objective of the map is to destroy the undead demon portals. Each time one of them is destroyed, another portal will be opened. When you will have destroyed the last portal, the game will be over, and you a victorious player.

The iPhone, Apple's entrance in the world of mobiles and handhelds, is one of the world's most popular devices, having already reached its 3rd generation. Crysis is also one of the most popular products in its category, being considered a benchmark for new computer hardware, due to its strong visual requirements. On that note, the two products have recently come together as part of an AMD demonstration that has been intended to provide the audience with a perspective on how much power its next-generation GPU architecture is going to deliver. To be more exact, AMD's upcoming DirectX 11 graphics cards have been used to demonstrate how Crysis can run on Apple's iPhone. According to a recent news article on Ars Technica, the Sunnyvale, California-based chip maker has recently held a press event, showcasing some of the performance capabilities of its next-generation GPUs, the much-anticipated Radeon HD 5800-series. The chip maker has been accompanied by a series of software par!

As a quick reminder, AMD's next-generation GPUs are expected to provide users with a considerable number of new features, including the capability to deliver 2.5 teraFLOPS of floating-point power.

Caster Semenya, the 18-year-old athlete who became the 800m world champion in August, has been shown to have both male and female organs following gender testing demanded by The International Association of Athletics Federations.

HTTP:: Discovery 039 s Landing Delayed by Thunderstorms
--------
Despite having not one, but two landing windows yesterday, the space shuttle Discovery was unable to take advantage of any of them, as stormy clouds and thunderstorms loomed over the Kennedy Space Center, in Cape Canaveral, Florida. According to NASA officials, the seven-member crew aboard the spacecraft have another window of opportunity this evening, at 5:48 pm EDT (2148 GMT). They admit, however, that conditions may actually grow worse by then, and that the storms might intensify. Florida is notorious for its shifting and highly dynamic weather patterns. They bring forth clouds and lightning over minutes, and clear up the skies in the same amount of time, at unpredictable moments. In fact, mission controllers for the STS-128 flight say, the decision to cancel the shuttle's descent yesterday evening came down from the management as little as eight minutes before the actual related maneuvers were scheduled to begin. Thursday's landing opportunities began with a planned !

Scientists at the University of California in Irvine (UCI) have recently demonstrated, in a study on college students, that memories once thought lost actually still reside within the brain. The find was made using advanced brain-imaging techniques, the experts report in the latest issue of the journal Neuron. The main question that arose after this find was made was what precisely caused the brain to forget these memories, or simply become unable to access them, despite them still being there. “Even though your brain still holds this information, you might not always have access to it,†UCI neurologist Jeffrey Johnson, the author of the report, says in the Wednesday issue of the journal. He adds that recalling a certain memory triggers inside the brain the same activation patterns that were generated when the memory was first formed.

HTTP:: Innovation to Use Graphite as Data Storage Medium

Experts from the Rice University have recently announced new progress in nanotechnology research. They found a new way of using graphite, a basic carbon compound that makes up the inside of pencils, as a reprogrammable gate array. This could bring about a revolution in integrated-circuit logic design, which could, in turn, further the research for very dense and stable, nonvolatile memories, for a wide array of digital devices, from mobile phones to computers. The investigation was conducted in the lab of the RU Chao Professor of Chemistry James Tour. The expert is also a professor of mechanical engineering and materials science, and of computer science at the university. He collaborated closely with Alexander Sinitskii, a postdoctoral research associate for the new study, which was published in the latest online issue of the respected journal ACS Nano. The team essentially found a way of depositing ten-nanometer stripes of amorphous graphite onto silicon, using nothing b!

An international group of researchers has recently discovered the fact that banana peels, which may be a clear indicator that the fruits have gone bad on the inside, do not change their aspect as they deteriorate. At least not in visible wavelengths. When researchers placed the peels under ultraviolet (UV) light, they discovered that, if spoiled, they gave off a blue glow. The team determined that this was caused by chlorophyll aging and beginning to disintegrate, the US National Science Foundation (NSF) informs. In charge of the new investigation were experts Nicholas Turro, from the Columbia University, and Bernhard Krautler, from the University of Innsbruck.

Keisha Buchanan, the only original member of the Sugababes, had some problems with her yo-yo-ing weight at one point, but she has finally found a way to a flat stomach and she didn’t even have to go to the gym for it. Cutting out KFC junk food and crisps, two of Keisha’s favorites, has helped her get in perfect shape for the shooting of the video of the band’s latest single, the singer reveals for the Daily Mail. Before beginning to shoot the video, Keisha knew she had to do something about her weight. While she would have never considered losing too many pounds by going on some fad diet or, even worse, starving herself, she knew she had to lose the belly flab, she admits. So, she cut all junk food from her diet and, to her surprise, she managed to get in shape for the shoot without even having to go to the gym, the singer explains. “I’m happy if I have a flat stomach and an hourglass figure, and now I’m pretty much there.

Keisha Buchanan, the only original member of the Sugababes, had some problems with her yo-yo-ing weight at one point, but she has finally found a way to a flat stomach and she didn’t even have to go to the gym for it. Cutting out KFC junk food and crisps, two of Keisha’s favorites, has helped her get in perfect shape for the shooting of the video of the band’s latest single, the singer reveals for the Daily Mail.

HTTP:: Grant Fidelity Announces a New Reference CD Player Loaded with Tubes
--------
The new Grant Fidelity Reference Tube CD-1000 CD player might be one of the elite choices you could ever make when looking to spend less than $5,000 on a high-end player with looks that could kill. Codenamed the Impression II, this new CD player boasts a promising array of features that will most likely attract a heap of customers. If we were to judge upon the looks alone, the Grant Fidelity Reference Tube CD-1000 would definitely be among the winners: somehow shaped like a butterfly with wide open wings, this player sports a look that's simultaneously delicate and rough, with fluid lines and exquisite accents.  But there is more to this architecture than mere looks: each of the prominent rounded corners houses a cluster of technology so the space in the middle of the case remains free. It is here where the separated CD drive chassis has been placed, in the middle of a shock-absorbing structure which minimizes the vibrations to a minimum. [img=2]The Impression II is based!
on Toshiba components: the servo system comprises TOSHIBA-TA2125AF, TOSHIBA-2157F and TOSHIBA-TC94A14F sub-systems for the best, smooth performance. The audio section sports a high-class completely in...

HTTP:: Earth 039 s Oxidation Tracked with Chromium Isotopes
--------
One of the basic facts of life is clearly the knowledge that life on our planet cannot survive without oxygen. When the Earth first formed, there was a very small concentration of the gas, maybe less than one percent of the total atmosphere. However, two big oxidation events were recorded over the eons, both of which eventually determined the appearance of complex life. Now, new studies of these events, conducted based on chromium-isotope analysis, reveal more puzzling questions about the early days. The Great Oxidation Event (GOE) was the first instance in which the oxygen concentration in our planet's atmosphere increased noticeably since the Earth solidified from a ball of hot magma. Until now, experts believed that it took place some 2.45 to 2.2 billion years ago, based on evidence collected from analyzing molybdenum and rhenium isotopes, among isotopes of other metals. The second steep rise was estimated to have taken place some 750 million years ago, when the condit!
ions again became appropriate for the development of more complex organisms. By analyzing samples of banded iron formations â€" an iron-rich sedimentary rock â€" dating from around and in between the two main periods of intense oxygen increases, experts from the University of Copenhagen, in Denmark, led by researcher Rob...

HTTP:: Pamela Anderson Wants to Grow Old Gracefully

Pneumatic babe Pamela Anderson still has a great figure and, more importantly, the willingness to flaunt it on the catwalk, for which reason iconic designer Vivienne Westwood chose her to be the muse and face of her collections. In a recent interview with Elle magazine, Pamela also admits she has no skincare program and is looking to grow old gracefully, as Mr. Paparazzi can confirm. The former glamor model, recently spotted on a beach outing with her current boyfriend, admits out loud that, while she’s not a fan of Botox or other beauty treatments, she also never uses sunscreen. Anderson is, as her fans must know, a regular on the Malibu beach near her home, so it’s only understandable why so many media outlets have already rushed to point out that this is perhaps the reason why her face looks so aged and spotted. Be that as it may, at least her face is all natural, Pamela says. “What does it take to look like me? Not much, I don’t wear sunscreen. I don’t have!
a skincare program. I have no dermatologist and no cosmetic surgeon. Nothing’s been shot into this face.†the star insists. Moreover, despite the ongoing tendency with female stars (and even some male celebrities) to do a little nip here and tuck there to improve their appearance, Pamela is adamant that sh...
