<description><![CDATA[IBM has recently filed a patent application for a new traffic light system that can remotely start and stop the engines of our vehicles. According to this patent application traffic light system would receive position data from all vehicles waiting at traffic lights and would then send a stop engine notification to all the vehicles waiting for more than a specified period of time. After that when the light turn green a start engine notification would be sent to the front vehicle to start its engine first and another signal would be sent to next vehicle in the waiting row an optimal time later and so on.<br /> <br />This new traffic light system would be very helpful to reduce wastage of fuel. According to IBM this new traffic light system could be applied to traffic signals at railway crossings, intersections or other transportation signals. <br /><br /><br />For more information about this new invention you can visit following links:-<br /><br />http://www.physorg.com/news194070050.html <br /><br />http://www.inhabitat.com/2010/05/25/ibms-traffic-lights-can-remotely-halt-your-car-engine/<br /><br />http://www.impactlab.com/2010/05/28/ibms-traffic-lights-can-stop-car-engines/<br /><br />http://www.smartplanet.com/business/blog/intelligent-energy/traffic-lights-that-stop-your-car/1329/<br /><br /><br/><br/>4 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The IPL is the funding source of the cash;rich Indian Premier League(IPL) cricket tournament grew louder in Parliament on Monday.In the Lok Sabha opposition MPs are termed as "gambling" in the cricket and alleged that black money stashed in foreign banks was invested in the IPL.<br />Stressing that the shorter Twenty20 version of cricket was not in the interest of the sport, Dasgupta said: "Cricket is being maligned in the country.There is a wrong message given to the budding cricketers to join the Twenty20 and earn crores." <br />"Black money is coming from Mauritius and Dubai through dubious sources and betting is going on openly...It is a only a game of gamble, an organised gamble."<br /><br />The demand from the opposition comes after embattled Tharoor on Sunday night stepped down over his links to the IPL Kochi franchise. He resigned after a weeklong drama after it was disclosed that his friend Sunanda Pushkar had received a sweat equity worth Rs.70 crore in the deal.<br /><br /><br /><br />further more information,please visit on the following links:<br /><br />http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/IPL-is-money-laundering-ban-it-MPs/articleshow/5831522.cms<br /><br /> <br />http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/IPL-glorified-gambling-with-black-money-Vayalar-Ravi/articleshow/5831033.cms<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[WASHINGTON, April 13 (Reuters) - The president of France President Nicolas Sarkozy has stated on Tuesday that he was quite confident about Brazil buying a total 36 next-generation fighter jets from France. Although this warcraft deal is running out of time, yet he is quite optimistic about the deal going through.<br /><br />It is believed that Brazil is in the final stages of purchasing 36 Rafale fighter jets worth more than US $4 billion, which are supposed to be assembled in Brazil. If this deal goes through, we may see Brazil finally buying more than 100 aircrafts.<br /><br />The three jet fighters finalists for the purchase are the Rafale made by Dassault (AVMD.PA), the Gripen NG made by Sweden's Saab (SAABb.ST), and the F-18 made by U.S.-based Boeing Co (BA.N). <br /><br />On top of all this Brazil's Defense Minister Nelson Jobim has supported the purchase of Rafale Jets from France.<br /><br />Some useful links you might want to visit are as below:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Rafale<br /><br />http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/reuters/MTFH83235_2010-04-14_00-38-02_N13111234.htm<br /><br />http://www.defencetalk.com/brazils-plan-to-buy-french-fighter-rafale-jets-hits-turbulence-21789/<br /><br />http://www.defencetalk.com/wp-content/themes/dtstyle/scripts/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Rafale_fighter-aircraft-MICA.jpg&w=390&h=260&zc=0<br /><br />http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/rafale/<br/><br/>2 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We have seen it numerous times in Hollywood Movies: Scientists using satellites and Telescopes like Hubble spot a HUGE asteroid  hurtling towards Earth. In a situation like this, the only hope for life in future is send a team to blow the monster asteroid with a nuclear bomb.<br /><br />As it happens in the movies, the movie stars like Ben Affleck  ultimately make the mission successful, and blow the asteroid into millions of pieces.

<description><![CDATA[Whatever our ultimate conclusions on the START follow-on treaty, we continue to believe it will be difficult for it to pass the Senate without the fully funded robust nuclear weapons modernisation programme required by section 1251 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2010, two top Republican Senators, John McCain and John Kyl, said in a statement.Even as the U.S. Administration is getting ready to host the nuclear security summit on April 12 top leaders of the Opposition Republican Party on Friday indicated that they would oppose the New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) when it comes for ratification in the U.S. Senate.<br />"While we were initially advised that the only reference to missile defence was in the preamble to the treaty, we now find that there are other references to missile defence, some of which could limit U.S. actions," they said.<br /><br />Further, the Russians have unilaterally declared that the article which allows either Russia or the U.S. to withdraw from the treaty is intended to allow Russian withdrawal if it believes new U.S. missile defence capabilities pose a threat to its strategic nuclear forces.<br /><br />"This has the potential to constrain improvements to U.S. missile defences, if objected to by the Russians," they said.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator John Kerry, today called for timely ratification o<br/><br/>2 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Mayan calendar ends on Dec. 21, 2012, which proves nothing but that they were good with math and astronomy. The cosmological event that occurs that year may have serious consequences. We'll be lining up with the galactic center and thus bombarded by a much higher than normal level of gamma radiation.<br />It is the Great Solstice - a solstice of the precessional or Platonic year. It is the fountain of all solstices and all equinoxes from which the life flows and cascades from a season to season. It is the source from which the time to which we owe our existence gushes out. And it is also a payback time when such existence must be justified.If Svensmark is correct and sunspots, indicative of the Sun's magnetic field, remain low, we'll be much more vulnerable to that radiation. According to his theory gamma rays interact with water vapor to form clouds which results in cooling, the fewer the sunspots the greater the cloud cover and the more cooling. The last few solar cycles have had higher than normal sunspot activity and we've also seen temps rise.<br />It is not a question of what will happen on the winter solstice 2012 but what will you do about it. One is a certainty over which you have no control but the other is a freedom of choice. Will you be physically and spiritually ready or will the unfolding events catch you like a proverbial thief in the night? It is a free world. No <br/><br/>2 Vote(s) ]]></description>
