Airborne Bacteria Make It Rain, Researchers Find: "The sky is not an ethereal, sterile realm. It's teeming with bacteria, and scientists say that the microbes play a powerful role in producing rain and snow.
While the idea that bacteria could prompt precipitation was previously known, a paper published this week in Science shows that they're more important than anyone expected.
Researchers led by Louisiana State University microbiologist Brent Christner analyzed snow samples from around the world, categorizing the content of their 'nucleators' -- tiny particles that help water vapor coalesce and freeze."

Comedian is living in an Ikea store - CNN.com
Comedian is living in an Ikea store - CNN.com:
"The story
When Mark Malkoff thought about where he could stay while his New York City apartment was being fumigated for cockroaches, he quickly ruled out friends' places (too small) and hotels (too expensive).
Instead, the comedian and filmmaker decided to move into an Ikea store in suburban New Jersey, where on Monday he unloaded two suitcases into a spacious bedroom at the store.
At night when the store is closed, he says he'll play laser tag with security guards and even plans to host a housewarming party."

YouTube to offer live streaming this year | Webware : Cool Web apps for everyone
YouTube to offer live streaming this year | Webware : Cool Web apps for everyone: "In some cases it's not a bad thing to be fashionably late. Just ask Steve Chen, co-founder of YouTube.
Earlier this week, while sporting a furry coat at a warm, packed YouTube party in New York City, Chen managed to spill some juicy details about the company's plans while talking to Sarah Meyers, the host of vodcast Pop17. Chen confirmed that live video was coming to the service in '2008' and that the company has wanted to feature it for some time, but have only recently been able to get the ball rolling because of having higher resources as a part of Google:
'Live video is just something that we've always wanted to do, we've never had the resources to do it correctly, but now with Google, we hope to actually do it this year.'"

Chocolate - All About Chocolate - History of Chocolate
Chocolate - All About Chocolate - History of Chocolate: "The first people known to have made chocolate were the ancient cultures of Mexico and Central America. These people, including the Maya and Aztec, mixed ground cacao seeds with various seasonings to make a spicy, frothy drink.
Later, the Spanish conquistadors brought the seeds back home to Spain, where new recipes were created. Eventually, and the drink’s popularity spread throughout Europe. Since then, new technologies and innovations have changed the texture and taste of chocolate, but it still remains one of the world’s favorite flavors."

Bernanke's History Lesson
Bernanke's History Lesson: "Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke went to Capitol Hill on Feb. 27 as if he were a general called from the battlefield to report on the progress of a losing war. The problem, as he explained to the House Financial Services Committee in his semi-annual monetary policy report, is the economy is fighting enemies on two fronts: a financial crisis and an economic slowdown on one side; inflation on the other. The more the Federal Reserve does to fight the financial crisis and potential recession, the worse inflation threatens to be. And vice versa.
It's an unenviable dilemma for Bernanke, who took office two years ago, succeeding Alan Greenspan. The Fed is operating, said Bernanke, 'in an environment of downside risks to growth, stressed financial conditions, and inflation pressures.'
Bernanke indicated that for now, at least, quelling the financial crisis and lifting the economy remains a higher priority for the Fed than chilling inflation. He said, 'Financial markets continue to be under considerable stress.' And although the Fed is still forecasting modest economic growth of 1.3% to 2% in 2008, 'The risks to this outlook remain to the downside.' Those risks include the possibility of worse-than-expected deterioration in the housing and job markets and the possibility that credit conditions, already"

think-production3.jpgIt was a year ago that venture capitalist and solar energy entrepreneur Jan-Olaf Willums appeared at the Cleantech Forum in San Francisco shortly after taking over Think Global, a Norwegian electric car maker once owned by Ford (F). Willums and his partners had just secured their first round of funding and unveiled plans to revive Think and a zippy urban runabout called the Think City. This week Willums made a return appearance at the 2008 Cleantech Forum and showed just how fast an automotive startup can move amid the lumbering dinosaurs of Detroit."

McCain's birthplace prompts queries about whether that rules him out - International Herald Tribune
McCain's birthplace prompts queries about whether that rules him out - International Herald Tribune: "The question has nagged at the parents of Americans born outside the continental United States for generations: Dare their children aspire to grow up and become president? In the case of Senator John McCain of Arizona, the issue is becoming more than a matter of parental daydreaming.
McCain's likely nomination as the Republican candidate for president and the happenstance of his birth in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936 are reviving a musty debate that has surfaced periodically since the founders first set quill to parchment and declared that only a 'natural-born citizen' can hold the nation's highest office."

Freddie Mac’s Quarterly Loss Widens - New York Times
Freddie Mac’s Quarterly Loss Widens - New York Times: "Freddie Mac, the second-biggest provider of residential mortgage financing, said on Thursday that its loss widened to a record $2.5 billion in the fourth quarter as the housing crisis worsened.
Freddie Mac and its larger rival, Fannie Mae, suffered from higher defaults on mortgages that the companies guarantee as home prices declined for the first time since the Depression.
The company also warned that it expected to lose billions of dollars more as the housing slump deepens and more borrowers fall behind on payments.
This week regulators loosened restrictions on the two government-chartered companies in hopes that they would be able to prop up real estate by holding down financing costs for a bigger pool of home buyers.
The companies’ staggering losses and desire to protect their capital, however, have curbed their power to stabilize the housing market. Rather than using the capital to finance mortgages, they have been writing down the values of mortgage securities and increasing reserves. The cash is needed to cover guarantees of loans that were packaged into bonds and sold to investors.
Losses led the companies to raise $13.8 billion through preferred stock sales last quarter.
The company lost $3.97 a share in the fourth quarter — far more than Wall Street analysts’ expectations of a loss of $2.4"

Lågprisflygbolaget Ryanair är värstingbolaget på Allmänna reklamationsnämndens senaste svarta lista.I tio nya fall vägrar Ryanair att följa de beslut från reklamationsnämnden, ARN, som handlar om ersättningar till resenärer på mellan 2.000-7.000 kronor, enligt tidningen Råd & Rön.
Tvisterna gäller kompensation till resenärer som drabbats av förseningar och inställda flyg. Därmed fortsätter Ryanair att vägra följa den EU-förordning som reglerar hur resenärer ska kompenseras.
I höstas beslöt konsumentombudsmannen, KO, att dra Ryanair inför rätta. Ärendet handlar om ett svenskt par som vägrades ersättning sedan deras resa blivit inställd kort före start.
Under 2006 och 2007 har ARN vid 35 tillfällen gett resenärer rätt i tvister mot Ryanair. I endast nio fall har Ryanair följt nämndens rekommendationer.
Vi och Ryanair är inte överens om tolkningen av den här EU-förordningen, säger informationschef Torsten Palm vid ARN till TT.
Men frågan om vem som tolkar förordningen rätt kommer ju avgöras av domstol efter KO:s beslut i höstas om att stämma Ryanair.

McCain, Obama Trade Barbs - WSJ.com
McCain, Obama Trade Barbs - WSJ.com: "TYLER, Texas -- Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama are increasingly attacking each other over a range of issues in what could be the opening rounds of the general-election campaign.
A cross-country dispute over Iraq erupted yesterday, and no matter who Mr. McCain faces, differences over the war are certain to be a defining question for voters this fall. But Messrs. McCain and Obama have also tangled over health care, campaign finance and lobbying. Each man takes pains to speak about the other with respect, but their differences on a scope of issues now burst through regularly as both look toward the fall campaign."

MUMBAI: If Ratan Tata has his way, after churning out the rupees one lakh Nano, he might soon be presenting a hybrid model of Nano or a similar car, which will literally run on thin air.
Tata Motors Ltd (TML) had originally signed a deal with Moteur Development International Enterprises S.A. (MDI) of France in February 2007, to develop and refine the technology of air propelled car (invented and commercially exploited by MDI) as exclusive licensees in India.
Industry sources say that while the engine and technology was being further refined by TML for production in India, the company has further strengthened its relationship and commitment with MDI by taking a stake in the original company for a significant amount."

"Get into a healthy diet by following a Calorie Counter's excellent beginner's diet guide. Learn the basics of nutrition and get definitions of nutritional facts (calories, fat, carbohydrates, sodium, etc.). Craft a diet after determining how many calories you should be consuming each day, and then select the foods that will supply those calories. Organize your food intake, whether with a written plan or with improvisation. Most importantly, once your diet is planned, be consistent. Once you understand the basics of nutrition, turn your diet into a permanent way of living and you can make it healthy and a lot of fun."

Apples nya operativsystem Mac OS 10.5 Leopard är det bästa som finns på marknaden.

Leopard beskrivs bland annat som 'det bästa som någonsin skrivits för de allra flesta vanliga användare', rapporterar Ny Teknik.
Operativsystemet anses häpnadsväckande snabbt, snyggt och lättanvänt. Dessutom finns många inbyggda program och en enkel och automatisk backup-funktion. E-postprogrammet som medföljer är också mer flexibelt än de windowsbaserade motsvarigheterna.
En av få nackdelar med operativsystemet är enligt PC Magazine att det kan vara vissa problem att ansluta till windowsmaskiner i nätverk."
