Space station's new robot ready for work

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - Astronauts aboard the International Space Station and visiting shuttle Endeavour colleagues delicately repositioned on Tuesday a new maintenance robot that will play a key role on the $100 billion outpost.
The Canadian-built robot, named Dextre, was assembled in orbit and outfitted with tools to help future spacewalking astronauts tackle maintenance and repairs on the complex.
Until it is needed, however, the 12-foot (3.7-meter) tall handyman, will perch on the outside of the U.S. Destiny laboratory.
"He looks like a gunfighter," Endeavour commander Dom Gorie radioed to Mission Control.
Before the move to the U.S. lab, the astronauts tucked Dextre's 11-foot (3.4-meter) long arms closer to its body and delicately flew it on the end of the station's crane to a mounting post on Destiny.
The pallet that held the robot's limbs was to be returned to the shuttle's cargo bay and taken back to Earth. Endeavour arrived at the station a week ago for a 12-day construction and repair mission.
"This has been a fantastic success already," flight director Kwatsi Alibaruho told reporters.
The mission has not been entirely trouble-free. Flight controllers were considering options for mounting two science experiments that stymied a spacewalking construction crew earlier in the day.

Microsoft Vista SP1

Microsoft has released the long-awaited first Windows Vista Service Pack, a wrap-up of incremental updates that apparently cripples certain vendors' software.
SP1 tackles reliability and performance, adds support for new hardware and wraps in earlier updates for compatibility with third party software. Microsoft claims more than 2,000 applications are now "certified for" or "work with" Windows Vista.
The only problem? A number of security products won't start up or run on updated desktops thanks to "compatibility problems". Among those affected are BitDefender AV or Internet Security, Fujitsu Shock Sensor and Zone Alarm Security Suite. Meanwhile, other products will experience "loss of functionality" once you've installed SP1, Microsoft said.
Microsoft has also introduced a number of security changes to Windows Vista, including updates to BitLocker drive encryption. And SP1 is "aligned" with Windows Server 2008, the two operating systems sharing common files in Internet Information Services and concurrent user support.
The first Windows Vista SP has long been seen by some analysts, at least, as the catalyst for broad uptake of the operating system among businesses.

Bars fight to be anointed Papa's local of choice

In life, Hemingway liked good sport. He certainly enjoyed a good drink. So the author would probably have enjoyed the row that has erupted between two bars in Key West, both of which are claiming to be his favourite drinking joint.

The Guardian reports that forty-three years after his death, the owners are at odds over which is the "original Sloppy Joe's," the reputed preferred watering hole of the Nobel Prize-winner during the 12 years he lived in Florida.
At stake is £5.4m in marketing and merchandising rights.

Chris Mullins, chief executive of Sloppy Joe's Bar, has filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against the owners of the neighbouring Captain Tony's Saloon, demanding they cease describing their pub as the original. "We just want to protect our marque," Mr Mullins said. "Sloppy Joe's is world famous, Captain Tony's is not."

But locals say both are right - that the first Sloppy Joe's opened in a former morgue on the site now occupied by Captain Tony's in 1933, but that Hemingway, known to regulars as Papa, drank in both and even bankrolled landlord "Sloppy" Joe Russell's move to the new location in 1937.

Caine prize winner announced

This year's 'African Booker' has been won by Brian Chikwava from Zimbabwe, it was announced today. He is the first writer from the country to receive the award.
The Caine Prize for African Writing, which is worth $15,000 (£9,000), is awarded to a short story published in English by an African writer whose work has reflected African sensibilities.
Chikwava's story, Seventh Street Alchemy, was praised by the judges' chairman, Alvaro Ribeiro, as "a triumph for the long tradition of Zimbabwean writing in the face of Zimbabwe's uncertain future."

He added that the story was marked out by "a very strong narrative in which Brian Chikwava of Zimbabwe claims the English language as his own."
The 32-year-old writer and musician was born in Bulawayo but grew up in Harare, where he performed regularly at the Book Cafe's poetry evenings and discussions. He studied at Bristol University and currently lives in south London.

Chikwava said he was very pleased but also surpr

Geoffrey Chaucer's sloppy scrivener unmasked after 600 years

After more than 600 years, his handwriting that gave him away. The identity of a medieval scribe - who until the last weekend was known to literary history only as Adam the scrivener - and whose carelessness was the cause of such vexation for Geoffrey Chaucer that the poet threatened to curse him with an outbreak of scabs, was discovered through some extraordinarily alert academic detective work.

The sloppy copyist of the words of the father of English literature was revealed to be one Adam Pinkhurst, son of a small Surrey landowner during the 14th century.
The revelation of his name and some of his background, announced by Cambridge University, has caused intense excitement and admiration among specialists in the subject. It indirectly helps to authenticate the two most authoritative texts of Chaucer's great work, the Canterbury Tales, the first long poem written in an approximation to modern English.

Protect and Defend : A Thriller

With his latest novel Protect and Defend, bestselling author Vince Flynn has once more affirmed his mastery as a writer of political thrillers. A compelling work of fiction, the novel is a tour de force that portrays suspenseful drama amidst a backdrop of international intrigue. The eighth novel of the Mitch Rapp series, Protect and Defend makes for an engrossing, fascinating read.

The action of the novel is set in the heart of Iran, where the government is spending billions of dollars on a nuclear development program. Israel, the neighbouring nation, is upset with the developments. No longer willing to rely on the international community to stop the proceedings, Israel decides to launch one of the most daring and creative espionage operations of all times. The attack creates a radioactive tomb in the heart of Iran's second largest city leaving it on the brink of an environmental disaster. Outraged, the Iranian government publicly blames both Israel and the United States as the parties responsible for the disaster, and demands retribution. Privately, however, the Iranian president seeks revenge, planning to make the nations pay the price of their aggression with blood.

Eclipse: A Supernatural Romance

Following the success of her novels Twilight and New Moon, author Stephenie Meyer has returned once more to enthrall readers with her latest tale of vampire love: Eclipse. Being the third novel of the Twilight series, Eclipse takes off from where Meyer had left in her last book, charting out the adventures of Isabella Marie Swan (Bella) and her vampire love, Edward Cullen.

The vampire is Victoria, and she has invaded the town with an army of newborn vampires. As Victoria begins to lust for Bella's blood, she is pushed into the midst of mortal danger. Being a helpless mortal, Bella can hardly do anything to save herself from death, leaving the responsibility of her security to her boyfriend Edward and her best friend Jacob.

Jacob Black, incidentally is a werewolf who seems to have fallen in love with Bella. As he comes to learn about Bella's attachment to Edward, he is dismayed. Edward, on the other hand, opposes Bella's friendship with Jacob, for he fears that young werewolves are unstable and can be dangerous.

Penumbra, Overture Episode 1: a creepy, horrifying adventure

Penumbra: Overture is an intensely creepy horror adventure game developed by Got Game Entertainment and published by Frictional Games. The game has been designed to please horror game enthusiasts, who prefer subtlety in horror sequences to mindless action.

The opening montage reminds one of H.P.Lovecraft's masterpieces. The protagonist, Philip, gets a letter from his father all of a sudden. The odd fact is that his father presumably died some 30 years ago in an accident, when Philip was still in his infancy. The letter directs Philip to an abandoned safety-deposit box full of notebooks with mostly unreadable scribbling and a map of Northern Greenland with a specific spot highlighted. A thorough check by Philip reveals the spot as an abandoned mine. This is where Philip makes the decision to show up at the place and investigate. The beginning of his adventure puts him in a blizzard fighting for against the freezing cold.

First Encounter Assault Recon (F.E.A.R): A creepy bloodfest

F.E.A.R is an inherently creepy horror survival game developed by VU Games and published by Monolith. The game bundles frighteningly realistic gun battles with highly intelligent AI scripting for an altogether mind-blowing experience.

The beginning of the game is marked by a superb cinematic from the third person perspective, which informs the player about the background of the story. Paxton Fettel, a military commander stationed at a secret Government base, has gone insane. The actual problem, however, is more serious than that. Fettel has a medium sized army of cloned soldiers telepathically linked to him, under part of an experimental set-up. They have taken over and nearly destroyed the city in which the base is located. Now, Fettel and his pack of soldiers are searching the entire base and derelict city with a fine-toothed comb, supposedly in their hunt for something of great value. The Delta Force has been dispatched for damage control, but is facing heavy casualties

Battle through Hell, half-demon style

Gamers around the world greeted an exceptional game called Painkiller in 2004. The game featured a completely one-of-a-kind graphics engine, nicknamed Havoc. The engine featured specular lighting, volumetric mist effects, spectacular weapon effects and groundbreaking rag-doll physics. Taking advantage of that, players could even pick up a corpse of an enemy and juggle it in mid-air.

Four years have gone by since then, but the legacy of Painkiller is far from over. Dreamcatcher Interactive is back with its latest version of the concept that made the original game such a blast to play. The stand-alone expansion actually started out as a modification of the original title. The mod gained substantial popularity and finally captured the attention of Dreamcatcher, who decided to make it a full-fledged game.

Language of Love

few months before his marriage to Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Browning, while working in his library one day, engaged in a curious act of divination:

"'What will be the extent of my love for her [Elizabeth Barrett Browning]?' he questioned the first book that fell under his hand, opening it at a random passage. The volume, of all inauspicious ones, turned out to be Cerutti's Italian Grammar.

"He hoped he might come upon a word like 'conjunction' or at least a possessive pronoun. To his amazement his eyes lighted upon the sentence in an exercise for translation:

"'If we love in the other world as we do in this, I shall love thee to eternity.

Anecdotes of Percy Bysshe Shelley

ONE Sunday we had been reading Plato together so diligently, that the usual hour of exercise passed away unperceived: we sallied forth hastily to take the air for half an hour before dinner. In the middle of Magdalen Bridge we met a woman with a child in her arms. Shelley was more attentive at that instant to our conduct in a life that was past, or to come, than to a decorous regulation of the present according to the established usages of society, in that fleeting moment of eternal duration styled the nineteenth century. With abrupt dexterity he caught hold of the child. The mother, who might well fear that it was about to be thrown over the parapet of the bridge into the sedgy waters below, held it fast by its long train.

`Will your baby tell us anything about pre-existence, Madam?' he asked, in a piercing voice, and with a wistful look.

The mother made no answer, but perceiving that Shelley's object was not murderous, but altogether harmless, she dismissed her apprehension, and relaxed her hold.

`Will your baby tell us anything about pre-existence, Madam?' he repeated, with unabated earnestness.

Coleridge's views on religion

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834) was once involved in discussion with a man who firmly believed that children should not be given formal religious instruction of any kind. They would then be free to choose their own religious faith, he reasoned, when they reached the age of discretion. Coleridge did not disagree, but later invited the man into his somewhat neglected garden.

"Do you call this a garden?" exclaimed the visitor. "There are nothing but weeds here!"

"Well, you see," explained Coleridge, "I did not wish to infringe upon the liberty of the garden in any way. I was just giving the garden a chance to express itself and to choose its own production."

Upside Down

An old man and woman were married for years even though they hated each other. When they had a fight, screams and yelling could be heard deep into the night.

A constant statement was heard by the neighbors who feared the man the most... "When I die I will dig my way up and out of the grave to come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!"

They believed he practiced black magic and was responsible for missing cats and dogs, and strange sounds at all hours. He was feared and enjoyed the respect it garnished.

He died abruptly under strange circumstances and the funeral had a closed casket. After the burial, the wife went straight to the local bar and began to party as if there was no tomorrow. The gaiety of her actions were becoming extreme while her neighbors approached in a group to ask these questions:

Are you not afraid? Concerned? Worried? that this man who practiced black magic and stated when he died he would dig his way up and out of the grave to come back and haunt you for the rest of your life?

The wife put down her drink and said. . .
"Nah... let the old man dig. I had him buried upside down!"

bad luck

A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she stayed by his bedside every single day. When he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.

As she sat by him, he said, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side... You know what?"

"What dear?" She asked gently.

"I think you bring me bad luck”

Don't Step On The Ducks

Three golfing buddies died in an auto accident and went to heaven. Upon arrival, they noticed the most beautiful golf course they have ever seen. St. Peter told them they were welcome to play the course, but he cautioned them with one rule: “Don't step on the ducks.”

The men had blank expressions on their faces, and finally one of them said, “The ducks?” “Yes,” St. Peter Said. “There are millions of ducks walking around the golf course, and when one of them is stepped on, he squawks, and then the one next to him squawks, and soon they're all raising hell and it really breaks the tranquility. If you step on the ducks, you'll be punished.”

The men start playing the course, and within 15 minutes, one of the guys stepped on a duck. The duck squawked, and soon there was a deafening roar of ducks quacking. St. Peter appeared with an extremely homely woman and asked, “Who stepped on a duck?” “I did,” admitted one of the men. St. Peter immediately pulled out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed the man to the homely woman. “I told you not to step on the ducks,” he said. “Now you'll be handcuffed together for eternity

A Day at the Zoo

An unemployed guy got a new job at the zoo. They offered him to dress up in a gorilla's skin and pretend to be a gorilla so people will keep coming to the zoo.

On his first day on the job, the guy puts on the skin and goes into the cage. The people all cheer to see him. He starts really putting on a show, jumping around, beating his chest and roaring.

During one acrobatic attempt, though, he loses his balance and crashes through some safety netting, landing square in the middle of the lion cage! As he lies there stunned, the lion roars. He's terrified and starts screaming, "Help, Help!"

The lion races over to him, places his paws on his chest and hisses, "Shut up or we'll both lose our jobs!"

he can never be mine

These feelings have gone too far,
my love has grown too strong.
But I can never have him,
so, please tell me that these feelings shouldn't belong.

I feel he knows,
I feel he doesn't care.
But I don't want to know that,
for the pain I cannot bear.

I have to give him up,
I have to find another,
But sometimes I feel like saying to myself,
"Don't even bother."

Because, I know I can't
and it would be a waste of my time
To even try to get rid
Of these feelings of mine.

I've loved him for so long
And I can love him for forever,
But why can't I see
That we'll never be together?

The bond I felt was fake and wrong,
I raised false hopes and couldn't see it for so long.
That he and I are different and will never be,
We'll take separate paths and he'll never see,

How much he means to me and how much I care,
To love a guy this deep again... I will not dare.

to my love

You wait your entire life
for that special love.
Then it is unreachable.
Perhaps because of fear,
perhaps because of
circumstances
or perhaps because
of love itself.

A special love that
leaves an emptiness within you
if you cannot hear the
other person's voice.
But that makes you feel
whole again with one
gentle hello

A special love of longing
night after night
for just the sight of them.
or just the feeling of knowing
that they may care too.

A love that you know in this lifetime
you will never feel again.
Nor would ever want to feel again,
if it brings you this much pain
not to have it.

Oh, my special love
please come to me
My special one please hold me
and tell me this is not all
for nothing.

That deep within your soul
your love is the same as mine.
We belong together.
We need each other
to make our lives complete.
My only one
My treasured one
My special love.

Proud to be an indian!!!!

Are Mobile Phones a Health Hazard?

Much debate has been raised in the recent times regarding the ill effects of mobile phones on the human health. With a total of 2.7 billion mobile phone subscribers in the world, this surely is an alarming proposition. As the world gets increasingly dependant on wireless modes of communication, serious concerns have been raised regarding the effects of electromagnetic radiation on human health. While a few studies seem to be in support of the claims, a majority of research reports have remained inconclusive. It is therefore, time for us to take a detailed look at the possible health risks posed by mobile phones, if any.

The primary risk that mobile phones may pose to human beings is that of radiation. Typically, mobile phones operate by emitting certain Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR) that transmitted through the antenna of the phone. Although these emissions are of a very low level, the presence of the antenna right next to the brain is what concerns certain researchers, since the head tends to absorb such radiations.

Academy Awards 2008 : A Glittering Night

The most glamorous and prestigious event of the entertainment world, the Academy Awards, stepped into its eightieth year on February 24, 2008, in a gala event at the famed Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, California. Popularly known as the Oscars, the Academy Awards are presented every year by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, in recognition of excellence of professionals in the film industry. With actors, directors, scriptwriters, musicians and other professionals around the world vying for the coveted statuette, the Oscars have become one of the most eagerly awaited events of the present times.

This year, however, the show was in danger of being an absolute dampener. With striking Hollywood writers' associations calling for a boycott of the event and many actors joining in support, hardly anything could have been done to stop the event from losing its sheen. However, the strike was called off just in time, and with eleven days in hand, preparations were finalised

Indians Tame the Indomitable Aussies

India's historic win against the Aussies in the recently concluded Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series has been hailed by many as a defining moment in cricketing history. Beating the Kangaroos in their own backyard is not an easy task, especially when they have been the dominators of world cricket since the 1990s. Although Ricky Ponting's men still remain on top of the ICC rankings, they have lost the 'Invincible' tag, bowing down to bunch of spirited, young Indians.

Australia's loss of supremacy, however, does not come as much of a surprise. With the majority of the team being on the wrong side of the 30s, it was only a matter of time before they were upstaged by some young, fresh blood. What is significant, however, is the way in which the Indians have managed to defeat them. The Indians played tough cricket on field, remained unfazed by the Aussie gamesmanship, and what's more, paid them back in their own coin. Throughout the series, the Indian players looked confident, and under the able leadership of M S Dhoni, managed to bring out their best for the country.

Things to say if caught sleeping at your desk

Face it, we all feel sleepy the moment we enter the office premises. But what if your boss caught you sleeping at your desk? Here is what you can tell him:

• "They told me at the blood bank this might happen."
• "This is just a 15 minute power-nap as described in that time management course you sent me."
• "Whew! Guess I left the top off the White-Out You probably got here just in time!"
• "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm."
• "I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance."
• "I was doing Yoga exercises to relieve work-related stress."
• "Damn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem."
• "The coffee machine is broken..."
• "Someone must've put decaf in the wrong pot..."
• " ... in Jesus' name. Amen."

Britney Chews Gum While Lip-Synching

Britney Spears is continuing her mini-tour of performances and, believe it or not, many are those who are still applauding her comeback... of sorts. However, even more are those who feel let down by the Princess of Pop, especially since, during her Anaheim gig, she chose to chew gum while lip-synching, thus making it all the more clear that, well, she is not a fan of singing live.

Of course, we have all grown up with Britney's music (more or less) and, thus, we all know only too well that she is not that kind of performer that sings live. In fact, I doubt anyone can say they saw Britney at least once singing and not simply mouthing the words of her tracks. Some fans find consolation in that, saying that, because there is a precedent, we can't all go 'Gee, she didn't even sing!'.

The bottom line is that, as the time passes, Britney's comeback is becoming the butt of all jokes for more and more people. If, in San Diego, she was well received, despite performing on stage for no more than 14 minutes, people who show up for her other shows are being offered less and less time. In Anaheim, for instance, the woman we all once called the pop idol spent only 12 minutes on stage while last night, in LA, her set was shortened by yet another minute.

And, to top it all, she doesn't even bother to pretend that she's singing any more. Many took this to heart, saying she couldn't have showed less respect than that to her fans had she tried. Die hard fans who went to the second gig were expecting something mind-blowing and were quite unprepared to see Britney chomping gum while not even bothering to mouth the words. Even more, there were quite a few who stated that her dance moves were not even that great to start with, and that the backup dancers were doing a fine greater job that the rehabbed star.

Even if this tour was not meant to be the big deal that it eventually turned out, people really hoped she would be able to pull this through. Back in January, after Britney's image took a turn for the worse, she promised she would be back 'bigger and better than ever'. Five months later, she gives us this: short sets, old choreography, old tracks, lame and tacky outfits and nothing of the glamor and fire that used to characterize her older shows. Was it all the waiting worth it? You tell me.

Nano Technology

When you think about nanotechnology, you need to think in terms of a number of disciplines that are all intertwined into one technology and which are encompassed under a single name and that are nanotechnology. In fact, it actually combines physics, biology, chemistry as well as materials science and also the entire range of engineering as well. What’s more, when people use the term nanotechnology they must be referring to something that is related to a new and exciting technology that in fact is encompassing the very best of modern scientific thoughts.

Essentially, nanotechnology refers to understanding the physical as well as biological and even chemical properties related to atomic and also semi-atomic scales. In fact, it can even be defined as being able to manipulate in a controlled manner atoms in order to create certain materials that have very exclusive abilities. However, it would be wrong to consider nanotechnology as being totally manmade because nature too has in fact, been using it from billions of years as is evident when we consider how enzymes are used together with catalysts to create various atoms as well as molecules that in turn have created life on this planet in a most unique manner.

Thus, today scientists are also considering how even water could be harnessed in order to power up our automobiles. All it may take is to break down water into several components and go beyond treating it simply as H2O. That is why it is not wrong to call nanotechnology as putting science to good use in creating things that are extremely small and which in fact are even much smaller than the width of a human hair.

In fact, nanotechnology gives man the capability to rearrange water’s very own atoms as also atoms of dirt and even the air in order to make it possible to create our own corn and rice. A simple illustration of putting nanotechnology to such use would be when man becomes able to rearrange the atoms of coal in order to create diamonds.
