Largest Ever Water Reservoir in History Discovered in Space
gucci shoes Astronomers have reported the discovery of a huge water vapor cloud floating around a black hole in space. The cloud is so big that scientists estimate it holds 140 trillion times the mass of water in the Earth's oceans, and is approximately 10 billion light years away.
The find is the largest discovery of water anywhere in history, and has been found in a distant “quasar.”
gucci for men The Carnegie Institution, one of the groups behind the findings, has said, “Since astronomers expected water vapor to be present even in the early universe, the discovery of water is not itself a surprise.”
The statement added: “Quasars contain massive black holes that steadily consuming a surrounding disk of gas and dust; as it eats, the quasar spews out amounts of energy.”
The find has come as part of a quasar study called “APM 08279+5255”, and the black hole under observation is 20 billion times greater than the sun.
gucci shoes for men NASA scientist Matt Bradford has said, “The environment around this quasar is very unique in that it's producing this huge mass of water. It's another demonstration that water is pervasive throughout the universe, even at the very earliest times.”

Research on the discovery is expected to be published in a coming issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters.
gucci shoes for womem The observations by NASA commenced three years ago in 2008, and have been made using an instrument called "Z-Spec" at the California Institute of Technology's Submillimeter Observatory. The instrument is a 33-foot (10-meter) telescope near the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
Follow-up observations were made with the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-Wave Astronomy (CARMA), an array of radio dishes in the Inyo Mountains of Southern California.
Astronomers and scientists from across the country and world have been involved in the research, and have come from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the California Institute of Technology, the University of Maryland, the University of Colorado, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Institute for Space and Astronautical Science in Japan were involved.

Male Birth Control? New Contraceptive Alternative Underway
discount mbt shoes Scientists are in a race to develop a male birth control pill that can become a new contraceptive alternative to condoms.
Male birth control pills work in similar fashion to female birth control by lowering sperm count to a level not conducive for conception. The pill chemically is made up of testosterone and progestin, hormones that stop the production of sperm.
cheap mbt shoes Despite the fact that 95 percent of the men who have taken the hormone birth control pills saw successful results, the pills are not characterized as safe or effective for everyone, particularly due to side effects and negative reactants, like alcohol.
In spite of these findings, resurgence in male interest for effective, reversible birth control has sparked the interest of scientists around the globe, as reported in the New York Times, to develop the first safe and risk-free method for men.
mbt shoes for men Researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center have developed a pill called gamendazole that interrupts sperm maturation.
Another contender in the male birth control pill race is Dr. John K. Armory of the University of Washington, who is studying a drug to treat worm infections that coincidently causes infertility by blocking production of retinoic acid.
However, like most of the other pills developed, it is counterproductive when consumed with alcohol, which makes the user ill.
mbt womens shoes The New York Times reported that geneticist Debra J. Wolgemuth of Columbia University Medical Center is working on formulating a drug that blocks sperm production during alcohol consumption, without the ill effects.
Two drugs currently on the market, one used for treating hypertension and one for psychotic behavior, prevent ejaculation. However, in order for these drugs to be effective forms of birth control for men, their intended purpose for treatment will need to be altered.
mbt casual Aside from pills for men to take as contraceptives, Elaine Lissner, director of the Male Contraception Information Project, told the New York Times of her efforts to develop a gel injection to use as birth control. Risug, an acronym for "reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance," is a gel injected into the scrotum currently under testing. However, research does not show that Risug is reversible.
Lissner also suggested a possibly, not proven, method of birth control executed by "heating" the t... [ Read More (0.2k in body) ] |

Asian markets open as debt talks remain stalled
vibram five fingers kso Asian financial markets slid in early trading Monday as investors watched closely to see whether the impasse in U.S. debt negotiations will prompt a dramatic sell-off on global exchanges.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 index, which includes major Japanese companies, was down about 0.63 percent in early trading Monday. The Standard & Poor’s 500 /ASX 200 index, a measure of Australia’s blue-chip stocks, was down about 0.86 percent. South Korea’s benchmark KOSPI index was down about 0.7 percent.
vibram five fingers bikila Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index slid about 0.63 percent in early trading, while Shanghai’s Stock Exchange Composite index was down about 0.73 percent.
Talks between President Obama and House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) broke down Friday evening and efforts to restart the negotiations in time for the opening of Asian markets did not make progress.
The absence of a bipartisan plan for raising the U.S. debt ceiling, and thus avoiding a potential default on Aug. 2, is fueling concerns in global markets because of the crucial role that U.S. Treasury bonds play in all manner of financial transactions. Some analysts expected investors in Asian markets to price some of that concern into stock values.
vibram five fingers speed “Global markets are going to get more and more jittery the longer we go,” said John Peters, senior economist at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. “Our economy is actually growing quite strongly at the moment,” he added, “but all bets are off when there’s something big looming on the global horizon.”
But Japanese investors have more reason to be worried about the ongoing stalemate in Washington because the Japanese economy is still recovering from March’s earthquake and tsunami.
five fingers kso “I think the stability of the financial market is a precondition for the Japanese economy to recover,” said Katsuyuki Hasegawa, chief market economist with the Mizuho Research Institute in Tokyo. “That pre-condition is now being threatened by the development in the States.”
In addition to watching the Tokyo and Sydney exchanges, investors and policymakers are eager to see how trading fares on the exchanges in Hong Kong and Shanghai, which are to open shortly.
There were signs late Sunday that markets in the United States would open lower Monday morning.

Apple Hulu Purchase Could Help Apple TV, Subscription Service |

Apple Hulu Purchase Could Help Apple TV, Subscription Service
five finger shoes Apple is rumored to be in early talks to acquire video-streaming service Hulu. If true, that could help with Apple’s broader media plans.
Apple is apparently considering a bid for online-streaming service Hulu, according to Bloomberg.
The news service drew that information from two anonymous sources, paraphrasing them as saying the bid was in early talks and “may lead to an offer.” Apple tends to be acquisition-shy, but with more than $76 billion cash on hand, it could easily make a play for Hulu, whose price tag Bloomberg and analysis firm SNL Kagan estimated at somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 billion.
Apple already exerts a heavy gravitational pull on the media world, thanks to its iTunes storefront, but Hulu’s streaming television episodes could help the company’s long-anticipated move into the cloud-based media services. Of course, that’s assuming that Apple makes a definitive play for Hulu, which offers both free, ad-supported video and a monthly premium subscription service.
In theory, Apple could integrate Hulu into its Apple TV franchise, giving it a boost in the competition against Google TV, which combines a Web browser and search capabilities into existing television services.
In June, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster suggested that Apple is working on a television set for release sometime next year.
gucci outlet “We continue to believe that Apple is developing a television set that will succeed its current Apple TV set-top-box, likely in late [calendar year] 2012,” he wrote in a June 23 research note. “As recently as May 11 the US Patent and Trademark Office has published Apple patents relating to television-specific technology,” including one for “advanced TV broadcast menus.”
Moreover, he saw Apple television as a radical game-changer for many of the company’s core products, including iCloud and the App Store. “Apple may add movies and TV shows purchased or rented in iTunes to the iCloud service, which could be viewed on a TV,” he wrote. “Apple’s strong iOS developer community would likely jump at the chance to build apps for an Apple Television, and Apple’s iOS users would likely jump at the chance to buy one.”
Those weren’t the first rumors of Apple’s supposed television plans. In April, Jefferies & Co. analyst Peter Misek wrote that Apple could launch a subscription-based video service, possibly in the form of a television set or a new set-top box—not to be confused with the company’s current Apple TV, a palm-size device that lets users stream Netflix and other content to their televisions.
If Apple does have plans for a subscription-based video service, purchasing Hulu could go a long way toward securing the infrastructure and rights it needs to make that happen. But as with most things Apple, trust that any details of a possible acquisition will be kept very hush-hush until a formal announcement. burberry outlet |
