How did dinosaurs die?

well, people have been debating for very long, almost as much as the egg or chicken came first riddle. how did the dinosaurs die? was there ever dinosaurs ever in the first place? well. there are alot of multiple theories on how dinosaurs died but TODAY,a few hours ago, in WASHINGTON

an international panel of experts who reviewed 20 years' worth of evidence about what caused the Cretaceous-Tertiary (KT) extinction that wiped out more than half the species on the planet.

They determined it was a massive asteroid, measuring around 15 kilometres wide, which smashed into what is today Chicxulub in Mexico.


The event marked a pivotal point in history because it cleared the way for mammals to become the dominant species on Earth.

"The asteroid is believed to have hit Earth with a force one billion times more powerful than the atomic bomb at Hiroshima," the researchers said in a report published in the journal Science.

"It would have blasted material at high velocity into the atmosphere, triggering a chain of events that caused a global winter, wiping out much of life on Earth in a matter of days."

The panel of 41 scientists hope their findings will lay to rest once and for all the debate about what caused the KT extinction.

Some scientists have argued that dinosaurs and species including bird-like pterosaurs and large sea reptiles were wiped out by a series of volcanic eruptions in what is now India that lasted some 1.5 million years.

The eruptions spewed enough basalt lava across the Deccan Traps in west-central India to fill the Black Sea twice and were thought to have caused a cooling of the atmosphere and acid rain on a global scale.

But the evidence gathered for the study published in Science showed that marine and land ecosystems were destroyed rapidly in the KT extinction, leading the scientists to rule out volcanic activity as the culprit, because its effects would have whittled away at dinosaurs and other species over time.

"Despite evidence for relatively active volcanism in the Deccan Traps at the time, marine and land ecosystems showed only minor changes within the 500,000 years before the time of the KT extinction," the scientists said.

"Computer models and observational data suggest that the release of gases such as sulphur into the atmosphere after each volcanic eruption... would have had a short-lived effect on the planet and would not cause enough damage to create a rapid mass extinction of land and marine species."

The Chicxulub asteroid, on the other hand, could very well have made short shrift of dinosaurs, pterosaurs and other species, the scientists said.

The impact of the large asteroid would have "triggered large-scale fires, earthquakes measuring more than 10 on the Richter scale, and continental landslides which created tsunamis," said Joanna Morgan, a lecturer in geophysics at Imperial College, London and co-author of the study.

The asteroid hit Earth 20 times faster than a speeding bullet and exploded into a deadly mix of hot rock and gas which would have "grilled any living creature in the immediate vicinity that couldn't find shelter," said Gareth Collins, a research fellow at Imperial College.

"The final nail in the coffin for the dinosaurs happened when blasted material was ejected at high velocity into the atmosphere," shrouding the planet in darkness and causing a global winter that killed off species that "couldn't adapt to this hellish environment," added Morgan.Make a Mark in Your Career with a Top UK Hons Degree at Kaplan

Another clue that the KT extinction was caused by a huge asteroid and not volcanic activity was evidence in geological records of "shocked" quartz in rock layers at KT boundary levels around the world.

Quartz is "shocked" when it is hit very quickly by a massive force - such as a 15-kilometer-wide asteroid traveling 20 times faster than a bullet.

The KT extinction marked the end of the 160-million-year reign of the dinosaurs and allowed mammals, and eventually humans, to become the dominant species on earth.

therefore,they came to this conclusion Dinosaurs were wiped out by a huge asteroid that smashed into Earth 65 million years ago with the force of a billion atomic bombs, scientists said Thursday, hoping to lay an age-old debate to rest once and for all.

It's official: Ch U to scrap own news programmes

IT'S confirmed: Channel U's original news bulletins will be a thing of the past from March 29.

This is a stark U-turn from MediaCorp's earlier promise to viewers in 2005 that it would refrain from using Channel 8's packaged news items in Channel U's news programmes.

Click here to find out more!
Yesterday, my paper had reported on buzz that Media- Corp might be replacing Channel U's 11pm daily news programme with repeats of Channel 8's 10pm news.

Sources also said that it is planning to scrap the channel's weekday 9pm news programme and its weekend 7pm news programme.

=
a little history.
-
Launched in May 2001, Channel U then belonged to MediaWorks, Singapore Press Holdings' now-defunct television arm.

The Mandarin channel's news programmes were renowned for its celebrity news anchors - Helen Cheung, Wang Yanqing and Evelyn Tan. However, MediaWorks merged with MediaCorp in January 2005.

Channel U was relinquished to MediaCorp TV under a new agreement, and its news anchors were replaced by a new team.

Now, the channel is rocked by further changes. A press release issued yesterday by the broadcast giant said that from March 29, there will no longer be a daily news programme at 9pm.

The channel will feature entertainment programmes on weekdays between 8pm and 10pm.

The daily news bulletin at 11pm will repeat the 10pm news from Channel 8. Its weekend 7pm news programme will be replaced by current-affairs programmes, Money Week and World This Week, on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, from April 3.

Ms Jeslyn Low, Channel U's head of branding and promotions, said: "By consolidating resources, the group is able to push for stronger content from its news platforms to serve the public."

No staff will be retrenched or lose their jobs, she said.

xinMSN

well well well, microsoft and mediacorp are joining together to make a new web portal, it sure is gona be interesting tio the name is a little ghey. anyway here's a report from MSN news.

Microsoft, Mediacorp to create new online bilingual portal

Entertainment and lifestyle website xinmsn.com to be launchedTECHNOLOGY giant Microsoft and leading local media company Mediacorp have joined hands to create a bilingual online entertainment and lifestyle portal.

Set to launch in the second quarter of 2010, the new website, xinmsn, will feature content offerings currently on Microsoft's MSN Singapore and Mediacorp websites.

It will house both global and local content such as the latest entertainment and sports news, free video-on-demand and live streaming of popular local radio stations.

Other key features include lifestyle features and fashion tips, blogs by Mediacorp artistes and integrated access to Microsoft's Windows Live services such as Messenger and Hotmail.

MediaCorp's current suite of TV, radio and entertainment websites, and MSN Singapore together attract close to 3 million visitors monthly, said a joint statement released by Mediacorp and Microsoft Tuesday.

In addition, MSN Singapore also boasts the country's most popular online communications network, which includes 1.4 million local Messenger users, the statement said.

Mr Shaun Seow, MediaCorp's Deputy CEO (News, Radio, Print, Interactive) said the new web portal will have a "potent mix" of hyper-local and international content, appealing to Internet users of all ages.

"While MediaCorp's ongoing TV, radio and print offerings will provide the substrate for this website, we will also be generating exclusive Web-only content. We invite visitors to interact with us, through postings, and even ideas on how to improve our site," Mr Seow said.

Around 3.5 per cent of users here visit the MSN Singapore portal at least once every week, making it the third most-visited local website, according to the latest report by online analytics firm Hitwise.

Both companies expect traffic to xinmsn to grow many times over current levels, giving online advertisers what could potentially be the largest online user base to market their products and services.

Subject: Take action and help the people of Haiti
Hi,

Like millions of people around the world I've been shocked by the terrible events in Haiti.

Only now is the true scale of the disaster emerging. Reports now suggest more than 100,000 people may have died, with hundreds of thousands made homeless.

The work ahead to recover from this tragedy is immense. So here's our goal: $1 billion for Haiti. That's how much Haiti owes to the International Monetary Fund, the Inter-American Development Bank, and a handful of others.

Sign the petition below to ask Haiti's creditors to act quickly and cancel Haiti's debts:

As Haiti begins to rebuild we can help by lifting this debt.

Together as ONE we can make a difference!

Thanks!

S'pore magic duo to predict 4D winning numbers


SINGAPORE : They have stunned audiences with their physical mega illusions in the past but come Friday, Singapore magicians J C Sum and 'Magic Babe' Ning will attempt their most mind-boggling feat yet - prediction of winning 4D lottery numbers.

The pair will seal their four-digit number prediction in a giant red packet which will be locked in a clear container and suspended three metres above ground in front of mega nightclub St James Power Station's main entrance.

A representative from the Singapore Tourism Board will be present to audit the proceedings of the prediction.

Over the next six days, members of the public are free to view the suspended chest which will be under tight security watch, as well as witness the 'live' revelation of the 4D prediction by the illusionists on January 27 at The Boiler Room after the official 4D results are drawn by Singapore Pools.

"'The Impossible 4D Prediction' is purely a mental and psychological challenge. We will be employing five different techniques and strategies to generate the four-digit number," explained J C.

This new psychological illusion stunt is a departure from the duo's previous high profile projects which include teleportations and their record-breaking feat of performing the most illusions - 15 - in five minutes.

"The idea of predicting the lottery was the favourite suggested mega stunt made by our Facebook friends and fans in a poll we did in early 2009. I guess everyone loved the idea of winning money," said J C. "Based on this feedback from our audience, we went about developing the method and presentation for such a prediction and chose the 4D as it is the most well known local lottery."

"The Impossible 4D Prediction" is the first ever lottery prediction to be attempted here, and in this part of the world. But that's not the only first.

"Ning and I have never bought a 4D ticket in our lives but we also believe that you should try something exciting once in your life, as long as it is legal, ethical and does not harm anyone," said J C.

The pair will buy a ticket for a single 4D number for the January 27 draw and though they have not decided on the amount to bet, it "will not be lower than S$100".

"If we hit the right winning number, we'll definitely take a break for the rest of the year!" said Ning, Singapore’s first female magician.

My sentiments exactly. However, despite my cajoling, the pair refuse to divulge to me their prediction.

"Get in line! No one besides us will know the number, not even our crew," said Ning.

There goes my chance for a windfall.


J C Sum and 'Magic Babe' Ning will make their prediction on Friday, January 22, at 8.30pm, and the big reveal at The Boiler Room @ St James on Wednesday, January 27, at 6.30pm. Admission is free.

The Book of ELI



the book of eli is a new movie i stumbled upon while surfing the web it is due to be relesed on 15/1/10 which is tomorrow the story/sypnosis goes like this and the trailer is above.

The Book Of Eli is a post-apocalyptic western cursed by laborious pacing and a sense of self-importance which its nutty story does not warrant. Ponderous in the extreme and laced with portentous religious overtones, the first feature in nine years from the talented Hughes Brothers (From Hell) may struggle to last long in theatres despite the above-the-title allure of Denzel Washington.
A handsome, expensive production from Joel Silver and Alcon Entertainment, which is coming off its biggest hit to date with The Blind Side, The Book Of Eli was sold to independents outside North America per Alcon’s sales arrangement with Summit. But although its production values and solid cast will help give it muscle, this could still struggle to generate word of mouth in an international marketplace already apathetic to the western genre.

The Book of Eli might also suffer over its uncanny resemblance to John Hillcoat’s current release The Road in that it follows a man heading westwards across America after an apocalyptic event has devastated the world. The first half hour sees Washington’s Eli battle against scavengers and take refuge in deserted houses, much like Viggo Mortenson’s character and his son in (the far superior) The Road.

But when Eli hits a small frontier town run by a gangster called Carnegie (Gary Oldman, back in arch villain mode), the resemblance ends and the film evolves into an old-style good versus bad face-off straight out of a Sergio Leone movie (in fact, one of the characters repeatedly whistles Ennio Morricone’s theme to Once Upon A Time In America).

Carnegie is searching for a book, and it turns out that Eli possesses the very book he is looking for. Eli tells Carnegie’s adopted daughter Solara (Kunis) that he has been driven west by voices in his head telling him that he must get the book into safe hands and that he will be protected along the way.

Eli, a former K-Mart store hand but clearly believing himself a Christian prophet, manages to escape the town alongside Solara but Carnegie and his stooges (led by Ray Stevenson) are hot on his tail across the desert wastes a la Mad Max.

The film briefly comes alive towards the end as Eli and Solara hole up in a house belonging to a crotchety old cannibal couple called, appropriately, George and Martha and played with enormous relish by English acting divinities Michael Gambon and Frances De La Tour. The two Brits send a bolt of energy into the film, and give a hint of what might have been if the film allowed itself to have more fun.

Indeed fanboys who might have lapped this up had it been played with more of the pacing and zest of Desperado or From Dusk Till Dawn are unlikely to embrace The Book Of Eli’s spin off into hokum-land in its final 15 minutes and a Sixth Sense-style reveal which is nothing short of nonsensical. The Hughes Brothers meanwhile can’t quite decide whether they are remaking Unforgiven or Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, switching style often and abruptly from soporific western to CSI-style flash-cutting.

Epic TV

Samsung's LED LCD televisions are here and the flagship C9000 is a doozy. It's the only one they're calling "ultra thin", has 3D support in late 2010 and a touch remote that shows you content from other video sources!


and yes u didnt see wrong it is a TOUCH SCREEN REMOTE CONTROL lol :D
The thinness (it's as skinny as a pencil) is achieved by shoving lots of guts into the pedestal, which doubles as a wall mount. The set can convert 2D content into 3D, although I'm sure of dubious quality. The remote looks rather Apple-ish in UI, but it can show you, as I said before, content from other sources, like live TV while watching a Blu-ray on the big screen. It has 240Hz tech, which we've never noticed as important in image quality, but it's there (needed for 3D). No word on sizes or prices, yet. There's Samsung app support, but platforms like these are never really well supported. The frame is very shiny

Bear Attacks Plane, Pilot Fixes Plane With Duct Tape, Pilot Flies Duct-Taped Plane Home



I'm not sure this story is true, but if it is, I'm going to go buy a hat just so I can take it off in this guy's honor. Is there anything duct tape can't do (besides repair ducts)?

So this pilot was flying out in the Alaskan backcountry (is there a frontcountry in Alaska?) for a fishing trip and mistakenly left some fresh bait in his plane. That was a big mistake, since there are probably more bears than people in those parts. One of the local bears ravaged his plane while looking for the bait, leaving it in a condition unfit for flight. That picture:


After the attack, our noble pilot called in a buddy to deliver some new tires, sheet plastic and a whopping three cases of duct tape. After using those materials, his newly patched-up plane looked like this:


Apparently the repairs were sturdy enough that the pilot was able to fly his duct-taped plane home safely (not sure how far—maybe he was from Dawson City or something). There are definitely reasons to be skeptical of the story, but I'm going to choose to ignore all of them, and instead salute both this man and duct tape

The "Blood-Curdling" Name Steve Jobs Wanted for the iMac


Back in November, former TBWA\Chiat\Day creative Ken Segal said that Steve Jobs' original name for the iMac would "curdle your blood." I guessed Macternet, but according to this account, that wasn't blood-curdling enough. Jobs' alleged proposal was a lot worse:

Our sources claim that the name that Steve Jobs wanted was... MacMan. At the time, the name was being used by another company, called Midiman. They manufactured the MacMan, a serial-to-MIDI adapter with one input, three outputs, a serial passthrough switch, and MIDI indicator LEDs. According to this account, Apple came to them with an offer for the name, but Midiman's owner thought they didn't offered enough ruby rupees. He declined Apple's offer.

If this is true—and it rings real to me—I'm glad the owner declined. Just imagine if they called that bondi blob the MacMan. We would still be hearing the echoes of the worldwide laughter.

For the same reasons, I hope they don't go with Apple iSlate (Apple Is Late?). It's not as bad as MacMan, but it's almost there.

Just for fun

Nexus One

The Google Phone. Nexus one is the new Google Phone it uses the Android OS [operating system] yes u read it right it GOOGLE has made a new touch screen phone. GOOGLE the search engine giant. can u belive that? well anyway its something revolutionalry. imagine a touch phone with better specs than the iphone3GS [specs = the stuff inside[engines and stuff] anyway it not only has double the resolution of the iphone 3gs but it surfs the web damn fast it is belived to be the fastest phone out there that can surf the web. it loads the webpage quite fast unlike the iphone 3Gs which takes quite long to load the web page. the only problem is the Nexus One is sold only online, it isnt sold in stores as google's partner motorola uses android OS too so google doesnt really want any friction with motorola so that why. the Nexus One sales arnt gona be higher than the iphone during the first week or somthing cause people dont really buy phones which they never tried before only those who have read about the phone and trusts google will buy it. P.S nexus one was also featured in digital life [newspaper] today.
