Books, cinema, spirituality at Bangalore lit fest

New Delhi, Sep 12 (IANS) Prominent authors like William Dalrymple, Ramachandra Guha and David Davidar will feature at the second edition of the Bangalore Literature Festival(BLF) beginning Sep 27 that will also be strong on cinema and spirituality.

With Germany, through the Goethe-Institut, being the focus country, the event will also see the likes of Bas Botcher, Tilman Rammstedt, Chirstopher Kloebel, Saskya Jain and Abbas Khider.

The three-day festival at the Crowne Plaza will also highlight 100 years of Indian cinema. A discussion on the adaptation of biographies to biopics will feature actor Farhan Akhtar, director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and lyricist-writer Prasoon Joshi, all of whom were part of the film "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag".

"This year, the focus is on being experimental yet inclusive with more languages, a blend of serious and light writing, intense and diverse themes coupled with celebrity attendance and general interest panels," author and BLF founding trustee Vikram Sampath said in a statement here Thursday.

The spotlight will also be on South Asian writing and authors from Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka - Babar Ayaz, Mira Hashmi, Kanak Mani Dixit, Farah Ghuznawi and Ashok Ferry - will speak about the literary scene in their countries.

Kannada writers like U.R. Ananthamurthy, H.S. Venkatesh Murthy, Nissar Ahmed, among others, will speak on a host of issues related to the regional writing.

Then, there will be a session on spirituality and writing by Sri Sri Ravishankar, and serving a dose of fashion will be designer Wendell Rodricks, who will discuss the nuances of fashion writing.

Space station passes sparkle

South Texas Stargazing

The San Antonio Astronomical Association invites you to participate in all of its public astronomy events. It's free, and you can view the calendar at http://www.sanantonioastronomy.org.

With only a few nights left before we say adios to August, let's bid adieu with a couple of nice International Space Station passes.

Look toward the northwest at 9:05 Tuesday night for a bright, moving speck of light.

The ISS will fly just behind the bowl of the Big Dipper and then arc high overhead to an easy spot near the bright star Vega a little after 9:07 p.m.

This is space station viewing at its best since the pass takes it to a vanishing point above the moon at 9:09 p.m.

While you're out admiring the station, check out Mars and Saturn with Spica in the southwest. This dynamic trio has done a very cool dance of cosmic musical chairs the past few weeks with Mars confusing the game with some sort of Chinese fire drill.

Mars just can't seem to stay put and has been moving between Saturn and Spica like a restless preschooler.

Mars currently sits high above and left of Saturn while Spica rests calmly below.

The last night of August treats us to another ISS pass at 8:57 p.m.

NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft embarks on historic journey into interstellar space

Sep. 12, 2013 NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft officially is the first human-made object to venture into interstellar space. The 36-year-old probe is about 12 billion miles (19 billion kilometers) from our sun.

New and unexpected data indicate Voyager 1 has been traveling for about one year through plasma, or ionized gas, present in the space between stars. Voyager is in a transitional region immediately outside the solar bubble, where some effects from our sun are still evident. A report on the analysis of this new data, an effort led by Don Gurnett and the plasma wave science team at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, is published in Thursday's edition of the journal Science.

"Now that we have new, key data, we believe this is mankind's historic leap into interstellar space," said Ed Stone, Voyager project scientist based at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena. "The Voyager team needed time to analyze those observations and make sense of them. But we can now answer the question we've all been asking -- 'Are we there yet?' Yes, we are."

Voyager 1 first detected the increased pressure of interstellar space on the heliosphere, the bubble of charged particles surrounding the sun that reaches far beyond the outer planets, in 2004. Scientists then ramped up their search for evidence of the spacecraft's interstellar arrival, knowing the data analysis and interpretation could take months or years.

Voyager 1 does not have a working plasma sensor, so scientists needed a different way to measure the spacecraft's plasma environment to make a definitive determination of its location. A coronal mass ejection, or a massive burst of solar wind and magnetic fields, that erupted from the sun in March 2012 provided scientists the data they needed. When this unexpected gift from the sun eventually arrived at Voyager 1's location 13 months later, in April 2013, the plasma around the spacecraft began to vibrate like a violin string. On April 9, Voyager 1's plasma wave instrument detected the movement. The pitch of the oscillations helped scientists determine the density of the plasma. The particular oscillations meant the spacecraft was bathed in plasma more than 40 times denser than what they had encountered in the outer layer of the heliosphere. Density of this sort is to be expected in interstellar space.

The plasma wave science team reviewed its data and found an earlier, fainter set of oscillations in October and November 2012. Through extrapolation of measured plasma densities from both events, the team determined Voyager 1 first entered interstellar space in August 2012.

"We literally jumped out of our seats when we saw these oscillations in our data -- they showed us the spacecraft was in an entirely new region, comparable to what was expected in interstellar space, and totally different than in the solar bubble," Gurnett said. "Clearly we had passed through the heliopause, which is the long-hypothesized boundary between the solar plasma and the interstellar plasma."

The new plasma data suggested a timeframe consistent with abrupt, durable changes in the density of energetic particles that were first detected on Aug. 25, 2012. The Voyager team generally accepts this date as the date of interstellar arrival. The charged particle and plasma changes were what would have been expected during a crossing of the heliopause.

"The team's hard work to build durable spacecraft and carefully manage the Voyager spacecraft's limited resources paid off in another first for NASA and humanity," said Suzanne Dodd, Voyager project manager, based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "We expect the fields and particles science instruments on Voyager will continue to send back data through at least 2020. We can't wait to see what the Voyager instruments show us next about deep space."

Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, were launched 16 days apart in 1977. Both spacecraft flew by Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 also flew by Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 2, launched before Voyager 1, is the longest continuously operated spacecraft. It is about 9.5 billion miles (15 billion kilometers) away from our sun.

NASA Making Voyager Spacecraft Announcement Today: Watch It Live

Editor's Note: The news is out, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has left the solar system and has entered interstellar space.It's Official! Voyager 1 Spacecraft Has Left Solar System

More Voyager News:

NASA says it will hold a press conference today (Sept. 12) to discuss an apparently new development with the agency's two far-flung Voyager spacecraft at the edge of the solar system, and you can watch the announcement live online.

The Voyager mission press conference will begin at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT) and be hosted at NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C. You can watch NASA's Voyager announcement live on SPACE.com here, courtesy of NASA TV. The announcement does not indicate if it is about the Voyager 1 mission or Voyager 2 mission, both launched in 1977.

According to NASA's advisory, today's announcement "is related to a paper to be published in the journal Science," and the discovery is embargoed until 2 p.m. EDT. NASA has invited the public to ask questions via Twitter using the agency's #AskNASA hashtag.

NASA has two Voyager spacecaft currently on their way out of the solar system.

NASA'sVoyager 1spacecraft is the farthest manmade object from Earth. The probe launched on Sept. 5, 1977and is currently about 11.6 billion miles (18.7 billion kilometers) from Earth. The spacecraft, like its twin Voyager 2, runs on a nuclear power source, which has allowed it to continue operating for just over 36 years.

A long-standing mystery is whether Voyager 1 is still on the edge of the solar system, or actually in interstellar space. For years, Voyager 1 has been traversing a boundary layer of the solar system known as the heliopause as it exits the solar system.

In August, scientists not involved in the Voyager mission published a study suggesting Voyager 1 left the solar system in 2012 in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. But NASA's Voyager 1 mission team and other researchers have said that their data indicated Voyager 1 was still plying through a strange transition zone at the fringe of our solar system.

Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 launched on a so-called "grand tour" of the solar system that ultimately sent the spacecraft on unprecedented flybys of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

NASA Launches Drones From Va. to Study Storms

NASA scientists are using former military surveillance drones to help them understand more about how tropical storms intensify, which they say could ultimately save lives by improving forecast models that predict a hurricane's strength.

The unmanned Global Hawk aircraft were designed to perform high-altitude, long-endurance reconnaissance and intelligence missions for the Air Force. Two of the original Global Hawks built in the developmental process for the military have found new life as part of NASA's research mission, studying storms that form over the Atlantic Ocean. NASA planned to launch one of the drones from its Wallops Flight Facility on Wednesday to study Tropical Storm Gabrielle, which re-formed in the Atlantic on Tuesday.

"The biggest scientific question we're trying to attack is why do some hurricanes intensify very rapidly and why do others not intensify at all? In the last 20 years, we've made terrific progress in forecasting where hurricane tracks will go," said Paul Newman, deputy project scientist for the research mission. "But we've made almost no progress in the past 20 years in forecasting intensity."

More accurately predicting a storm's intensity would help government officials and coastal residents decide whether an evacuation is needed, as well as avoid developing a false sense of security among residents who frequently cite failed storm expectations as a reason not to leave their homes when warned to do so.

There are two questions on which NASA scientists primarily want the drone research to focus. One is what role thunderstorms within a hurricane play in its intensification. Researchers aren't sure if the thunderstorms are a driver of storm intensity or a symptom of it.

The other is what role the Saharan Air Layer plays in the tropical storm development. The Saharan Air Layer is a dry, hot, dusty layer of air from Africa. Scientists have been at odds with each other over whether it helps hurricanes strengthen or does the opposite. One school of thought is that the Saharan Air Layer provides energy for storms to grow, while others have suggested it is a negative influence on storm growth because of the effect the dry air has on wet storms.

"There's a bit of a debate in terms of how important it is, one way or the other," said Scott Braun, a research meteorologist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., who is the drone project's principal investigator.

This is the second year NASA has launched Global Hawks from the Eastern Shore of Virginia, a strategic location that allows drones to spend plenty of time studying storms shortly after they form off the coast of Africa or as they approach the Caribbean Sea or Gulf of Mexico.

This year's mission will end later this month, and the third and final year of the project's flights will start again next August. NASA officials hope three years of flights will give them enough data to begin answering their questions.

The drones are considered advantageous over manned aircraft because they can fly for much longer periods of time than traditional research aircraft and at much greater altitudes. Global Hawks can spend up to 28 hours in the air at a time and reach altitudes up to 12.3 miles, or roughly twice that of a typical commercial airliner.

Nearly a dozen NASA websites hacked, remain offline

Nearly a dozen NASA websites run from the heart of Silicon Valley were hacked on Tuesday and remain offline days later, following a politically motivated digital broadside against the space agency.

My understanding is the entire NASA Ames Center had a hack attack that took the website down, spokesman JD Harrington told FoxNews.com. However, another NASA spokesman later denied that the entire center was taken down, instead saying that the attack was of a much smaller scope.

The Ames Center in Mountain View, Calif., where scientists once worked on the Viking and Pioneer spacecraft, currently houses high-tech facilities for NASA and others; Google leases 42.2 acres at Ames for a planned 1.2 million square foot of office and R&D space, for example.

- NASA spokesman

A group calling itself BMPoC took credit for the hack, saying it had taken down the sites to protest U.S. cyberintelligence activities.

On Sept. 10, 2013, a Brazilian hacker group posted a political message on a number of NASA websites." a NASA spokesman told FoxNews.com. "Within hours of the initial posting, information technology staff at the Ames Research Center discovered the message and immediately started an investigation, which is ongoing. At no point were any of the agencys primary websites, missions or classified systems compromised.

The group has apparently hacked not just one but several websites that housed information on the Kepler space telescope, planetary exploration, the moon and more, all run out of Ames Research Center.

They include kepler.arc.nasa.gov, event.arc.nasa.gov, academy.arc.nasa.gov, planetaryprotection.nasa.gov, nextgenlunar.arc.nasa.gov, lunarscience.nasa.gov, iln.arc.nasa.gov and more, according to NASA Watch.

A notice on the kepler.arc.nasa.gov website simply reads Down for Maintenance: The requested webpage is down for maintenance. Please try again later.

But a member of the science team also confirmed that the site was down due to an attack.

Article Makes a Hash out of Nanotechnology and its Impact

Over the years, I thought I had become accustomed to mainstream journalists making a hash out of the subject of nanotechnology. I've even had the misfortune of watching videos starring famed TV physicists making bizarre predictions about the problems that will ensue from the changes brought on by nanotechnology. I thought I had steeled myself so I would not be bothered by these sorts of things anymore, but along came the latest mishmash of half-informed scaremongering.

Its a perfect storm of wrongheadedness. It was penned by Ainissa G. Ramirez, Ph.D., a noted author and science evangelist, giving it an air of veracity. But that doesn't keep the piece from going wrong right from the outset. You can find the first misstep in the second sentence: By miniaturizing matter, science fact will look like science fiction. Okay, once and for all: Nanotechnology has nothing to do with miniaturizing matter. Nanotechnology is not the real-life version of the 1960s sci-fi film Fantastic Voyage. We are not shrinking matter.

Ramirez apparently skimmed the wrong articles to mine that nugget of information. The rest of the article, as far as nanotechnology is concerned, scans about right; it includes all the typical references you would expect from someone who skimmed some articles on nanotechnology: gold is red at the nanoscale, using hair to visualize the nanoscale, et cetera.

This is not to say Ramirez does not fudge some other references to nanotechnology for dramatic effect. For example, there's this gem: Do we want small particleswhich we can't imagine let alone seeswimming in our water supply and covering everything around us?

Swimming? Covering everything around us? Really? The "scholarly paper" she must have been referencing is Michael Crichtons novel Prey. Outside the world of fiction, man-made nanoparticles are not going to cover everything.

While these egregious misstatements of fact got my blood boiling, its the main thesis of the article that is perhaps the biggest problem. Ramirezs argument boils down to the idea that pursuing technology has unintended consequences that, in balance, are bad for us. This is a popular meme among so-called environmentalists. Ramirez suggests that the automobile, while likely considered a really great idea at the time of its invention, brought on obesity because it eliminated an alternate course of history wherein we would have been walking or cycling. I suppose this line of argument appeals to a certain segment of the population that would like us to return to the bucolic times before all the inventions of our modern age. Sigh. Why cant these technology-for-dummies summaries ever be informed or reasonable?

To address the crossroads that Ramirez believes we are approaching with nanotechnology (where it could potentially be the next thing to blame for our obesity), she suggests public engagement and dialog about its impact. Really? What a novel idea. Too bad it seems to have escaped Dr. Ramirezs skimming that there has been so much public engagement for years now that research has been looking at whether it has any usefulness. It also doesnt help matters that the very people that will accept Ramirez's line of thinking are the ones who have boycotted public engagement efforts.

Worse yet, the article was published in the perfect vehicle for wide dissemination: the Huffington Post, which is as mainstream as it gets. So a lot of people are apt to read the article and be misinformed. The Huffington Post is developing a rather poor reputation for its coverage of nanotechnology. And it's a pity because there are lots of brilliant commentators on the subject of nanotechnologys potential impactpeople who could provide well-reasoned and substantiated arguments on the topic. Ramirez's article, unfortunately, does neither.

Moody's increases credit rating for Liberty University

Liberty University's credit rating rose this week after Moody's reported that the college had $728 million in total financial resources in fiscal 2012 and a $295 million increase in cash and investments in fiscal 2013.

Liberty's bonds now are rated Aa3, up from A1 last year, when the school was first assessed by Moody's. Only 71 universities in the country are rated Aa3 or higher.

"We came to the realization over the last 25 years that significant cash reserves and endowment funding was needed to ensure that Liberty University could fulfill its mission to provide Christian education for generations to come," said Liberty University Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. in an email Tuesday. "It is rewarding when rating agencies recognize Liberty's commitment to and recent successes in building those resources for the future."

As a result of the higher rating, the school has better credit ratings and bond holders can be assured they are even more likely to be repaid in full, when the bonds are due.

"Liberty is seen now as a lower risk than it was before," Moody's spokesman David Jacobson said.

"The university has a large financial pool, its operating performance is strong" and it now has more than $1 billion in cash and investments, Jacobson said.

"Largely because of this we upgraded them one notch to Aa3 from A1, that's our fourth-highest rating."

Liberty is one of only 25 schools, public and private, in the country with an Aa3 rating. It is the only school in Virginia rated Aa3.

Similarly ranked private schools include Boston College, Holy Cross in Massachusetts, Southern Methodist University in Texas and Texas Christian University. Similarly ranked non-religious institutions include Haverford College, New York University, Syracuse University and Wake Forest University.

"The upgrade reflects Liberty's remarkable momentum in revenue growth and cash flow from operations," said the report released by Moody's late Monday. Among Liberty's strengths are online programs and uncommonly strong operating performance. Moody's calls Liberty a "true outlier" among its portfolio of not-for-profit universities.

Liberty Global CEO Talks Netflix, Deal Chatter

CAMBRIDGE, England Liberty Global CEO Mike Fries here on Wednesday discussed his views on Netflix and the outlook for U.K. cable company Virgin Media, which the international cable giant acquired earlier this year for $24 billion.

He also said that "we are not expecting to be bought" following some recent suggestions that U.K. telecom giant Vodafone could look to make a takeover bid for Liberty Global with new cash from the sale of its stake in Verizon Wireless.

Speaking at a Royal Television Society conference, he was quizzed about an agreement that Virgin unveiled Tuesday that will integrate Netflix into its pay TV offerings. Fries said that the news made for "exciting headlines" and added: "We're excited about it."

He lauded that Netflix brings added content, such as original House of Cards, to Virgin, saying it is a "nice complement to our existing programming offers." But Fries also emphasized that with over-the-top, or broadband, services, it is less about the content. "It's more about the functionality, the experience," he said, citing Netflix's great interface.

Overall, "the more we can offer customers, the more we can justify a higher share of wallet," Fries said.

Asked if Netflix was a friend, enemy or frenemy, Fries said that can vary by market. "I'm not threatened by it," he summarized. "It is not a zero-sum game."

Fries shrugged off a question about what competition, including online players, he was most concerned about. "Our platform is naturally hedged" given Liberty Global has a big broadband business.

Who will be Liberty Global's biggest competitor in 10 years? "There's room for all of us," Fries suggested.

Discussing future sources of growth, the CEO said: "Over five years, we're less about connecting more homes." Instead, growth will mostly come from "getting connected homes to do more with us." Giving subscribers more value and improving customer relationships.

Fries said Wednesday that pay TV operators do certain things really well, such as offering the best content and the biggest distribution pipes. But he also highlighted areas where improvements are needed, such as in moving content across platforms and improving user interfaces. He said Liberty Global is trying to solve these issues with DVR partner TiVo and its next-generation set-top-boxes Horizon.

First Liberty Power Board Announces Fencemaker Lease Extension

Las Vegas, NV, Sept. 12, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Liberty Power Corp. (FLPC), an innovative and diversified mine exploration and development company focused on "Mined in America" strategic industrial minerals, today announced a lease extension on the Fencemaker Mine Property.

According to FLPC Board Chairman, Robert Reynolds, the extension is a significant step in their Mined in America Mission. "Our strategic partners, Stockpile Reserves, LLC, recently signed a five year lease renewal with Silver Bell Mining Developing Inc., owners of the Fencemaker Mine Site claims," Reynolds said. "This is significant as it gives both Stockpile Reserves and First Liberty Power control of the Fencemaker site through September of 2018, proving once again the shared determination of First Liberty Power and our strategic partners in our Mined in America mission."

Fencemaker is an Antimony Mine located in Pershing County, Nevada. The mine was worked in the 1940's and again in the 1980's with consistent high grades of antimony. An interval sampling and RC drilling program was completed on Fencemaker in June and August of 2012 with a resultant 43-101 report that is available for review on the Company's website. An initial ore extraction by First Liberty and SRL is planned for the fall of 2013.

Stockpile Reserves Director of Operations James Vogan confirmed the importance of the new lease agreement. "Currently we are waiting for Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP) approval of our revised Fencemaker Water Management Plan (WMP); we are optimistic that it will be forthcoming soon," Vogan said. "When we receive that approval, we will immediately implement necessary components and processes per the plan and thereafter commence mining operations. The security of this extended lease agreement is another important piece of the mine's development that will allow for uninterrupted antimony production."

FLPC will continue to use Pathways of Progress announcements to inform and update all interested parties of advancements in our mining and financial operations.

ABOUT FIRST LIBERTY POWER CORPORATION (FLPC): First Liberty Power Corporation is an innovative and diversified mine exploration and development company focused on bringing to market "Mined in America" strategic industrial minerals. The FLPC corporate philosophy is driven by a dedication to Pathways of Progress (POP). It is a program of best corporate practices designed to rapidly drive the company towards mine production/milling, benefitting FLPC shareholders, investors and mining partners and ensuring safety, environmental integrity, and good governance. Presently, FLPC has interests in four properties: the Fencemaker antimony project in Nevada, the Lida Valley and Smoky Valley lithium brine projects in Nevada, and the San Juan vanadium/uranium project in Utah.

Buick back on Libertarian in Leger

St Leger. Click here to bet.

Trainer David Wachman has warned he will switch his dual Derby-placed colt to the GAIN Irish St Leger at the Curragh on Sunday should he deem the ground at the South Yorkshire course to be unsuitable.

"Galileo Rock will be declared for the GAIN Irish St Leger and a decision on which race to go for will be delayed until Friday evening," said the County Tipperary handler.

"I want very much to run Galileo Rock in the Ladbrokes St Leger because of its prestige, prize-money and the fact it is confined to three-year-olds."

The going at the track is currently good to soft, but limited further rain is forecast to arrive overnight before racing on Friday.

Galileo Rock, third in the Investec Derby and second in the Irish equivalent, was among a field of 11 at the final declaration stage for the Doncaster Classic.

Aidan O'Brien bids to win the world's oldest Classic for a fourth time by saddling Queen's Vase winner Leading Light and the lightly-raced Foundry, who booked his place when runner-up on his seasonal debut in the Great Voltigeur Stakes at York.

O'Brien's son Joseph rides Leading Light with Ryan Moore booked for Foundry while the Ballydoyle trainer removed his other entry, Eye Of The Storm.

John Gosden, responsible for three of the last six winners, relies on Excess Knowledge. The Gordon Stakes second will be ridden by owner Khalid Abdullah's recently appointed retained jockey James Doyle.

As Gosden has withdrawn Feel Like Dancing his stable jockey William Buick will team up with Libertarian for Godolphin and their new trainer Charlie Appleby.
