Holy Lawsuits, Batman! Turkish City to Sue 'Dark Knight' Producer

The mayor of Batman, Turkey is going up against Hollywood's big guns,
saying he wasn't told about the use of his city's name in the film "The
Dark Knight," featuring the arguably more famous superhero of the same
name.

SCIENTISTS have developed a new generation of clocks that can keep time without missing a beat in almost 2 billion years.
They are so precise that they will allow satellites to track moving objects to within less than a metre. This could eventually lead to automated cars and an autopilot accurate enough to land a plane without human intervention.
Laboratories in the US, Britain, Germany, France and Japan are now competing to make a clock capable of measuring time so accurately that it would not have lost a second since the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. Scientists believe it will be built within a decade.
The new devices are known as optical clocks because lasers “look at” and measure the frequency with which electrons in atoms vibrate. This enables them to divide time into ever tinier increments.

The most advanced clock, created by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado, measures the vibrations of electrons in mercury ions and can go 1.7 billion years without missing a beat. Previously, the most accurate devices were atomic clocks which can measure to an accuracy of one second over 80m years. A normal wristwatch, by contrast, will lose about 15 seconds a month.
The international committee for weights and measures, which is based in Sèvres, in Paris, and sets universal time, is planning to replace its atomic clocks with optical ones by 2020.
Dr Elise Arias, executive secretary of the committee for time and frequency, said: “Optical clocks are the future. They are a very exciting development and we will come to a conclusion on them by 2015.”
The most exciting developments are likely to come in the field of global positioning systems , which track planes, ships and cars.
GPS devices receive microwave signals sent by satellites and, by measuring the time these take to arrive, can pinpoint the location of an object on Earth to within 10 metres.
Scientists believe that by installing optical clocks on satellites they will be able to refine the level of accuracy to within less than a metre. Such precision could lead to automated motorway driving or landing aircraft on autopilot.
The technology could also enable satellites to map ice caps and mountains more accurately and monitor areas near earthquake faultlines for signs of movement.
The European Space Agency is considering fitting an optical clock to a satellite as part of its cosmic vision programme, which will explore ways of using space for scientific advancement from 2015 to 2025.
Dr Helen Margolis, principal researcher at the National Physical Laboratory, and her colleagues in Teddington, in southwest London, are pioneers of the new technology.
She said: “It is mind- boggling when you think about the accuracy we are getting today. “If you could put these clocks in space that would be useful for measuring the thickness of the ice caps in the Arctic and Antarctic. We probably haven’t even thought of some of the applications these clocks will have yet.”
Scientists have an even more ambitious use for optical clocks. They hope they will enable them to test the most basic laws of physics.
Till Rosenband, a physicist at NIST said: “It would be testing the basic properties of the cosmos. We should be getting to an accuracy where perhaps you could start seeing changes in the basic physics. It’s a strange thing to wrap your mind around. We haven’t seen anything like this yet but it’s exciting to look for.”
The optical clocks will eventually replace atomic clocks, which have provided the standard measure of time since 1967. Atomic clocks, first created by Louis Essen, a British physicist, in 1955, measure microwave radiation emitted by vibrating caesium atoms.
In 1989 Steve Chu, energy secretary in the Obama administration, improved the technology while at Stanford University using caesium atoms to create an “atomic fountain”, which still forms the basis of the most accurate atomic clocks today.
In 2001, NIST developed the first optical clock using lasers instead of microwaves.
It was further improved by British scientists at the National Physical Laboratory in 2004, and last year scientists at NIST developed a clock 21 times more accurate than the best atomic equivalent.

Superman, Man of Steel

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! The comic book that launched a whole genre of superheroes appeared for the first time in an issue cover-dated June 1, 1938. Created by Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel, Action Comics #1 introduced the Man of Steel. Over the years, he became a part of folklore and legend, and spawned radio and TV shows, movies and all sorts of memorabilia. In the Rob Reiner movie Stand By Me, one of the four boys asks, "Do you think Mighty Mouse could beat up Superman?" Another replies, "Boy, you don't know nothing! Mighty Mouse is a cartoon. Superman's a real guy. There's no way a cartoon could beat up a real guy."

花博會吉祥物 花兒絲樂團勝出

台北市將舉辦「台北國際花卉博覽會」，市政府昨日舉行記者會，公布活動ＬＯＧＯ及吉祥物。（記者方賓照攝）

結合花與音樂 象徵風中搖滾
〔記者陳璟民／台北報導〕二○一○年台北國際花卉博覽會的Logo與吉祥物昨日出爐，Logo為五個顏色的動態人形花瓣，設計靈感源自台灣的蘭花，象徵台灣人的活力與生命力，吉祥物「花兒絲樂團」把花與音樂的元素結合，將花朵在風中搖滾律動的感覺帶給大家。
台 北市政府產業發展局長陳雄表示，我國首度爭取到國際花博會的主辦權，訂於二○一○年十一月六日至二○一一年四月卅日，在中山足球場到大佳河濱公園的帶狀區 域舉行，Logo與吉祥物公開後，市府將透過各局處的文宣品、給民眾的公文或通知書、道路綠美化、大型廣告物等，向國內外加強行銷花博會。
產發局指出，花博會Logo的投稿件數有一千零七十九件，經重重評審，柏納斐設計公司創意總監余宏毅的五色動態人形花瓣奪得首獎，吉祥物有五百九十件作品競爭，冠軍為綜恆企管顧問公司創意設計師李鎧安的花兒絲樂團，兩人均獲頒美金五千元獎金，另有網路人氣獎。
余宏毅表示，他以台灣主要經濟花卉蘭花作發想，紅、橙、藍、綠、紫的顏色代表五大洲，五個人形花瓣代表各式各樣的人與熱鬧的氣氛。
李鎧安說，搖滾音樂最具熱情，把花塑造成樂團主角，為無聲的花兒賦與生命力，五個團員各有意義，紅色的主唱代表春天可愛的氣質，綠色的鼓手是生意盎然、酷酷的夏天，橙色的吉他手視覺感強烈且有秋天的感覺，藍色的貝斯手帶點傻勁是冬天，紫色的鍵盤手是率性的夏至。
