Tabloids expose celebs' health issues

Mostly, it's a pretty good deal to be rich and famous in America -- unless you come down with a dreaded disease and someone leaks your medical information. What do you do? What can you do?

As Christina Applegate discovered recently, the options are limited.

She is just the latest celebrity to find her medical troubles in a tabloid. Patrick Swayze, Britney Spears, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Dennis Quaid, George Clooney, Farrah Fawcett -- all in recent years have seen information from their medical records, or those of loved ones, spread in the press and on the Internet -- without their permission and sometimes in violation of the law.

Sometimes leaks stem from happenstance.

"I've been at the doctor's office and had another person in the waiting room call and report that I was there -- I think it's appalling," says actress Jennifer Garner.

IBM will build the first scientific supercomputer several Petabytes

IBM has signed an agreement to develop the first system of calculating the agenda petabyte (1 million billion bytes) specially dedicated to scientific research open. Known as Blue Waters, the calculation system is being developed for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and his centre NCSA (National Center for Supercomputing Applications).

The system will be operational in 2011. It will use over 200 000 core processors, more than one petabyte of memory and more than 10 petabytes of disk storage.

“Blue Waters will be a unique national asset, which will have a profound impact on science and society,” said Thom Dunning, director of NCSA and professor of chemistry at the University of Illinois. “Scientists across the countries, they simulate new drugs or materials, weather, epidemics or complex systems such as power plants or aircraft, will have to make discoveries that we n’imaginons not even exist. ”

Jason and the secret climate change war

Ashadowy scientific elite codenamed Jason warned the US about global warming 30 years ago but was sidelined for political convenience

Today the scientific argument about the broad principles of what we are doing to the Earth’s climate is over. By releasing huge quantities of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere we are warming the world.

So the Jasons (as they style themselves) were born; a self-selected group of brilliant minds free to think the unthinkable in the knowledge that their work was classified. Membership was by invitation only and they are indeed the cream. Of the roughly 100 Jasons over the years, 11 have won Nobel prizes and 43 have been elected to the US National Academy of Sciences.

World's biggest scientific experiment
7 Sep 2008, 1137 hrs IST,IANS

LONDON : If critics are to be believed, the end of the universe will begin coming Wednesday when a Welsh miner's son launches the world's biggest scientific experiment to know how the universe was born.

The well-known Welshman physicist, Lyn Evans, dubbed Evans the Atom, will this week switch on a giant particle accelerator designed to unlock the secrets of the Big Bang.

On Wednesday, Evans will fire up the Large Hadron Collider, a 17-mile-long doughnut-shaped tunnel that will smash sub-atomic particles together at nearly the speed of light.

It will track the spray of particles thrown out by collisions in a search for the elusive Higgs Boson, a theoretical entity that supposedly lends weight, or mass, to the elementary particles. So important is this mysterious substance that it has been called the "God Particle".

Evans, however, is dismissive of the "doom-mongers".

In Pictures: 10 Ways To Break Into Hollywood

The most coveted entry-level job in Hollywood: a mailroom gig at the famed William Morris Agency or one of the other major talent agencies. Unlike a studio or network entry-level job, a spot in the agent training program offers you an insider's look at the industry from all perspectives. Mailroom employees get a chance to see first-hand why and how deals really get made. It's small wonder the competition is fierce: Michael Eisner, Michael Ovitz and Jeffrey Katzenberg are just a handful of the many Tinseltown heavyweights who got their start in the famed WMA mailroom.
