Most powerful magnet ever being built in Florida

Your fridge magnets suck. At least compared to the new magnet being built at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, which is set to be the most powerful in the world. It'll be a pulsed electromagnet that will reach a power of 100 tesla when it's complete, which is a whopping 67 times more powerful than the magnets in a typical MRI.

The super-powerful magnet will be used to "test the properties of newly discovered high-temperature superconductors like iron oxyarsenide, which may improve the performance of MRI machines and high-voltage power lines while lowering their cost." Well, I'm not going to argue with that. I just want to know how many VHS tapes you could erase in one shot with this thing.

Next-Gen XO Laptop Due in 2010

Oliver Garnham, PC Advisor

Sep 7, 2008 8:35 am

The second-generation XO laptop from the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project, which features two touchscreens and was announced in May, will become available in the first quarter of 2010.

That's the prediction from Matt Keller, OLPC's director of Europe, Middle East and Africa, who said the group has high hopes for the XO-2's e-book capabilities, which he believes will make reading easier for schoolchildren in emerging economies.

"The e-book reader is the most popular function of the laptop," said Keller.

The laptop is nearly half the size of current XO laptop and consists of two touchscreen displays. The XO-2 doesn't include a keyboard, but instead will feature a software-based touch-sensitive keyboard.

The XO currently costs around $204 (£102) to make, said Keller, while the XO-2 will likely cost around $80 (£40). OLPC's still hopes to reach a price of $75 per laptop for educational buyers.

Angry Argentine Commuters Torch Train In Rush Hour

Furious rail commuters in Argentina set fire to a train on Thursday in anger over delays during the morning rush hour.

Television images showed black smoke and flames engulfing the train at the station of Merlo, in the western suburbs of the capital, Buenos Aires. At nearby Castelar, passengers hurled stones at the ticket office and blocked the rails.

"We understand that people get angry when the service is delayed or canceled, but they absolutely can't attack a public service in this way," Gustavo Gago, a spokesman for rail company TBA, told local television.

Many passengers said the delays, caused by a broken down train, had cost them a day's work.

Argentina's dilapidated rail services are plagued by delays and travelers' anger sometimes erupts into violence. read more

Window Costs

Barr says you should expect to pay about $600 for a reasonable, middle-of-the-road window, and about $850 for the best the industry has to offer. Given the pros, it's wise to focus on possible savings than initial cost. "Say your heating costs are $300 a month," says Barr. "If you can reduce that by half, you'll be making your money back in a few short years."

US household incomes fail to grow

clipper's remarks: Economic Policy Institute and US Census seem to have different viewpoints on the U.S. Economy...

Clip Source: news.bbc.co.uk

US households have failed to benefit from the strong economic growth in the last six years of expansion.

Despite an economy that expanded by 18% since 2000, real income for the median family fell by 1.1% from 2000 to 2006.

But people at the top of the income distribution, the top 1%, tripled their income between 1989 and 2006, according to the Economic Policy Institute.

"While most Americans were struggling, the good times were rolling for the top 10%," said EPI president Lawrence Michel.

With the US economy now slowing, household income is likely to fall further behind, the group predicts, with African-American and Hispanic households especially hard-hit.

The big disparities in income, coupled with the rising cost of higher education, have hurt the chances of poorer Americans improving their job and income prospects by completing a college education.

Germany leads 'clean coal' pilot

Big questions still hang over CCS technology overall

This mini power plant is a pilot project for carbon capture and storage (CCS) - the first coal-fired plant in the world ready to capture and store its own CO2 emissions.

A cloud of pure oxygen will be breathed into the boiler. The flame will be lit. Then a cloud of powdered lignite will be injected.

The outcome will be heat, water vapour, impurities, nine tonnes of CO2 an hour, and a landmark in clean technology.

Because the CO2 will then be separated, squashed to one 500th of its original volume and squeezed into a cylinder ready to be transported to a gas field and forced 1,000m below the surface into porous rock

the problem is that the exact cost of large-scale CCS is unknown.

The latest estimates suggest CCS power will cost roughly the same as wind power - maybe 50% more than it does at the moment.

The real test of CCS, though, is not in Europe.

Bush has about 137 days left to finish what he started (whatever that is), before letting Obama/Biden clean up his mess.
The Operations in Iraq have cost $551,335,000,000, as the race to one trillion dollars of war continues.
In the same time, the national debt has soared from $6,400,000,000,000 to $9,672,470,000,000, an increase of more than 3.25 trillion dollars.
