The Ultimate Space Porn: A 648 Megapixel Image Of Our Galaxy - Space - io9 - http://io9.com/5394972...
mwpan2_Aitoff_1200x600[1].jpg
"Physicist Axel Mellinger pieced together this image of the night sky out of 3,000 individual images. Mellinger traveled 26,000 miles, taking images in South Africa, Texas and Michigan, then added data from two space probes. Yes, it's hardcore. An earlier version of this panoramic image was an Astronomy Picture Of The Day in 2001, but the Panorama 2.0 is much, much more detailed, and Mellinger has eliminated some distortions and other problems in the original image." - RAPatton
""This panorama image shows stars 1000 times fainter than the human eye can see, as well as hundreds of galaxies, star clusters and nebulae," Mellinger said. Its high resolution makes the panorama useful for both educational and scientific purposes, he says. Mellinger spent 22 months and traveled over 26,000 miles to take digital photographs at dark sky locations in South Africa, Texas and Michigan. After the photographs were taken, "the real work started," Mellinger said." - RAPatton

"New Orleans might have changed considerably over the past 50 years, but at heart, it's still a big tease. So say the 50-plus sassy, sexy ladies who will twirl their tassels and strut their stuff through the first New Orleans Burlesque Festival this weekend. The festival aims to celebrate the burlesque revival that has sparked retro and cutting-edge revues across the country over the past 15 years, as well as put New Orleans back on the map as the capital of saucy, buxom entertainment. Though the international burlesque revival has, in general, modernized the classic art of striptease, often employing contemporary music, costumes and themes, don't expect to find anything avant-garde or experimental at the New Orleans Burlesque Festival. Instead, it aims to celebrate the kind of entertainment that filled Bourbon Street clubs in the 1940s and early '50s." - RAPatton
""The burlesque revival in New Orleans, when it started, it was these shows that were trying to be more authentically '50s-style shows with live bands, " said Delaup, who also is a producer for the local troupe Bustout Burlesque. "Throughout the years of burlesque revival, that's been a big concept. It's not too hard to find jazz musicians in New Orleans. It just goes together." Part of... more... - RAPatton

Movie Review - 
	9 - In a Grim, Mysterious World, a Burlap Hero With a Heart of Golden Fuzz - NYTimes.com
"9, who is about the size and shape of one of those posable tabletop mannequins used by art students, has a soft burlap body and a zipper up his middle. His outsize eyes blink like camera shutters, and they take in a world of monstrous terror and haunting mystery. In the 10-minute version of the animated film that bears his name, 9 and his comrades — who I suppose should be called robots, though they are softer and rounder than the contraptions usually evoked by that word — navigate their surroundings without speech. Now, at feature length, the main character’s muteness is a temporary impediment, and he finds himself surrounded by eight other numbered automatons, introduced out of order like a row of Sudoku. (The numerologically inclined will note that the film’s opening date is 9/9/09). Some of these figures speak in the polished tones of well-known actors, including John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly and Crispin Glover. Once 2 (Martin Landau) gives him a tuneup, 9 begins asking... more... - RAPatton from Bookmarklet
"The action is breathless and intense, the ravenous villains are frightening to behold, and the overall mood is probably too dark and anxious for very young children. But every effort to expand the range of feature-length animation beyond the confines of cautious family fare is to be welcomed, and budding techno and fantasy geeks are likely to be intrigued and enthralled." - RAPatton
Can't wait to see this. - Michelle Jones

"If there ever were a time that seemed ripe for nuclear energy, it's now. For the first time in decades, popular opinion is on the industry's side. A majority of Americans thinks nuclear power, which emits virtually no carbon dioxide, is a safe and effective way to battle climate change, according to recent polls. At the same time, legislators are showing renewed interest in nuclear as they hunt for ways to slash greenhouse-gas emissions. The industry is seizing this chance to move out of the shadow of Three Mile Island and Chernobyl and show that it has solved the three big problems that have long dogged it: cost, safety and waste. Researchers are working on reactors that they claim are simpler, cheaper in certain respects, and more efficient than the last generation of plants. Some designs try to reduce the chance of accidents by automating safety features and minimizing the amount of hardware needed to shut down the reactor in an emergency. Others cut costs by using standardized... more... - RAPatton from Bookmarklet
"Another big concern is how well a plant can handle a terrorist attack, especially the nightmare scenario of someone flying a jetliner into the reactor area. The Evolutionary Power Reactor from France's Areva SA, another Generation III design, guards against such an accident by putting the reactor inside a double containment building, which would shield the reactor vessel even if the... more... - RAPatton
"Tens of thousands of metric tons of nuclear waste—mainly spent fuel rods—are sitting at power-plant sites while the federal government struggles to come up with a site to store it all. No nation has yet built a permanent waste site, although the current situation can continue for some time: Even critics say storage methods in place now should allow fuel to be stored safety for 50 to... more... - RAPatton
"GE-Hitachi, for example, is developing a fast reactor called Prism that would take spent fuel or weapons waste, sitting in storage today, and use nearly all of it as fuel, leaving little waste. What's left would also be less radioactive than current waste, and would need to be stored for hundreds of years instead of thousands of years, scientists say. Fast reactors are able to unlock... more... - RAPatton

Pandora now pushing radio to pay for music, too - Ars Technica - http://arstechnica.com/tech-po...
In an e-mail to Pandora supporters last week, founder Tim Westergren called the current system "fundamentally unfair both to Internet radio services like Pandora, which pay higher royalties than other forms of radio, and to musical artists, who receive no compensation at all when their music is played on AM/FM radio." He went on to ask readers to call House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi's office to request her support on the Performance Rights Act that would force radio to start paying a performance royalty to rightsholders. - Leo Laporte

I found this development from Pandora a bit self-serving. Granted that Pandora is paying a bunch of money for the rights to play music that broadcast stations are currently doing for "free" (they pay royalties to composers and lyricists but not the studio/performers), but the broadcasters' justification is that they are providing an advertising benefit to the performers (and studios).... more... - JR Holmes

Physicists Find Way To Control Individual Bits In Quantum Computers - http://www.sciencedaily.com/release...
Physicists Find Way To Control Individual Bits In Quantum Computers
"To solve the problem of using magnetic fields to control the individual atoms while keeping stray fields at bay, the NIST team used two pairs of energy states within the same atom. Each pair is best suited to a different task: One pair is used as a "memory" qubit for storing information, while the second "working" pair comprises a qubit to be used for computation. While each pair of states is field- insensitive, transitions between the memory and working states are sensitive, and amenable to field control. When a memory qubit needs to perform a computation, a magnetic field can make it change hats. And it can do this without disturbing nearby memory qubits." - Rick Kaiser from Bookmarklet

Loyal ‘Simpsons’ Fans Fetch Higher Ad Rates on Web (Update1) - Bloomberg.com - http://www.bloomberg.com/apps...
Television programs such as “The Simpsons” and “CSI” are for the first time commanding higher advertising rates at Web sites including Hulu.com and TV.com than on prime-time TV. The premium rates in the just-ended 2008-2009 television season are mainly for shows that rank among the most-watched by Nielsen Co., said David Poltrack, chief research officer at New York-based CBS Corp., which is home to “CSI” and owns TV.com. Marketers, who are now considering commitments for the 2009-2010 TV season, are willing to pay more because TV.com and Hulu.com, owned by investors including News Corp., NBC and Walt Disney Co., provide committed viewers who actively seek out shows. There are fewer commercials, and consumers are twice as likely to recall Web ads, Poltrack said, citing Nielsen. - Leo Laporte
good excuse to put your rates up Leo LOL (: - Geer
I wish Hulu and the likes would open up so that we overseas viewers could watch without using a VPN. The TV networks in Australia are squeezing the last few drops out of the old TV model. - Matt G
Matt: Not so in NZ, both TVNZ and TV3 have all their shows, news and content online for free - you can watch shows anytime anywhere - Geer
Geer: Half your luck mate. I should say that the ABC here has put all of their content online, its just the commercial networks that are stuck in the dark ages. - Matt G
@leolaporte Yeah Leo, wont you put a rocket up (towards) Hulu about not allowing access to their content if you are outside US of A, thanks from down under ): - Geer
