As with all other scams in US market, it just catch my attention that these folks are charging 30 bucks for turmeric. Heck, turmeric capsules worth of 30 bucks can be purchased at 2 bucks from local Indian grocery stores. Anyway, we all know Americans love to spend :).

F-16 Marshal

This is a funny clip of a Marshal directing a pilot onto the runway. I wonder how much trouble he would get in if his superiors would have caught him doing this. Funny stuff. www.upyourvideo.net

Secret History of the Credit Card

The secret of credit card and the nasty business model thereof.

Another super image from Nasa.
" Explanation: In the shadow of Saturn, unexpected wonders appear. The robotic Cassini spacecraft now orbiting Saturn recently drifted in giant planet's shadow for about 12 hours and looked back toward the eclipsed Sun. Cassini saw a view unlike any other. First, the night side of Saturn is seen to be partly lit by light reflected from its own majestic ring system. Next, the rings themselves appear dark when silhouetted against Saturn, but quite bright when viewed away from Saturn and slightly scattering sunlight, in the above exaggerated color image. Saturn's rings light up so much that new rings were discovered, although they are hard to see in the above image. Visible in spectacular detail, however, is Saturn's E ring, the ring created by the newly discovered ice-fountains of the moon Enceladus, and the outermost ring visible above. Far in the distance, visible on the image left just above the bright main rings, is the almost ignorable pale blue dot of Earth."

Outstanding Images outside of the earth

" Explanation: If you could stand on Mars -- what might you see? Like the robotic Opportunity rover rolling across the red planet, you might well see vast plains of red sand, an orange tinted sky, and wispy light clouds. The Opportunity rover captured just such a vista after arriving at Victoria Crater earlier this month, albeit in a completely different direction from the large crater. Unlike other Martian vistas, few rocks are visible in this exaggerated color image mosaic. The distant red horizon is so flat and featureless that it appears similar to the horizon toward a calm blue ocean on Earth. Clouds on Mars can be composed of either carbon dioxide ice or water ice, and can move quickly, like clouds move on Earth. The red dust in the Martian air can change the sky color above Mars from the blue that occurs above Earth toward the red, with the exact color depending on the density and particle size of the floating dust particles."

Great Reunion

It was amazing to meet all the older folks from my old lab. Mouli, CK, Scott, Francis, they are known to me just by their name and their link to Takacs lab. I was pleasantly surprised tonight that how good they are in keeping the "touch". Yet another nice evening, after yesterday.
