Cyborg Zane Theory (An Example of Using Research and Show Evidence to Fill Plotholes)
I only own my thoughts. Revealing Zane to be a robot made a lot of plot holes. How can writers fill them in? maybe using a little theory magic.

Killer Is Dead trailer reveals cyborg arms, katana combos, dazzling visuals

Suda51's patented strain of gore-soaked madness doesn't appear to be losing momentum. Grasshopper Manufacture has released the first trailer for new IP Killer Is Dead, an action game published by Kadokawa Games featuring starkly-lit anime visuals and cyborg sword combos.

We don't know much else about it, other than that it's set in the same universe as Killer 7 and No More Heroes for the Gamecube and Wii, respectively, but is not a direct sequel to either.

"It's not trying to regress into the past," Suda51 told Famitsu in a chat translated by Polygon. "We're trying to make a game that we'd only be able to make right now, at this point in time. The result is seen in our unique high-contrast shading seen in the graphics, as well as the high-speed wrestling-like action."

The star is Mondo Zappa, a 35-year-old swordsman with a bionic left arm that morphs into different weapons, including drills and guns. You'll absorb the blood of your foes to charge up nasty specials, apparently. Head over to Famitsu for screenies.

"It's the story of a man who doesn't show himself much in the public world, but still worms his way into society and mercilessly eliminates the evil dispersed in it," Suda51 added. "It's a personal story, not one that's conscious of the chaos going on in the real world at the moment, but you might get more than a taste of that in the end anyway."

A Western release has yet to be announced. It's out in Japan this summer. Stoked?

Northern Ireland scientist warns of disaster facing famous beaches

Cannes, Cancun, Torremolinos and West Palm Beach this is the roll call of some of the worlds favourite beaches which are facing wipeout due to sea level rise.

Scientists in Northern Ireland are warning it could take a sea level rise of just a few feet to threaten some of the world's most famous beach resorts.

According to Professor Andrew Cooper, Professor of coastal studies in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of Ulster, the problems caused by changing sea levels are being compounded by a lack of political will and a lack of short-term coastal management initiatives.

While sea level rise is the most pervasive driver of coastal change, beaches are not necessarily threatened by sea level rise alone.

The problem arises when beaches are artificially hemmed in and not given room to move, the Coleraine-based academic said.

Beaches have survived 120m of sea level rise over the last 10,000 years. Problems only arise if we dont give beaches room to move and to adjust to the changing sea level, Professor Cooper said.

A key attractor in most of the worlds examples of coastal resort cities has been the presence of an adjacent beach.

Some well-known examples are Benidorm, Torremolinos, Cannes, West Palm Beach, Florida, Atlantic City, New Jersey, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Virginia Beach, Virginia, Cancun and the most rapidly developed of all coastal resort cities, Dubai.

In all of these resorts the challenge is to preserve the real estate behind the beach and still save the beaches, which are being pushed landwards by rising sea level.

People are responding to the threat of rising sea level by building walls to protect valuable property.

Our beaches are the best, say Aussies

Australian families ranked The Whitsundays in Queensland as the best spot for a coastal break. Source: Supplied

IT'S official - Australians may be travelling to Bali, Thailand and Fiji in record numbers, but they have realised our beaches are better.

Six out of ten Australians rate local beach destinations higher than our biggest Asian and South Pacific rivals, a new survey shows.

While young, childless travellers prefer overseas beach holidays, families ranked The Whitsundays in Queensland as the best spot for a coastal break.

Western Australia's north-west coast ranked highest amongst older travellers without children.

With the strong Australian dollar and cheap flights luring a record number of Australians overseas, Tourism Australia's Domestic Consumer Demand Survey tested six of Australia's most iconic beach holiday destinations popular with domestic travellers against Bali, Thailand and Fiji.

The Australian destinations were the Gold Coast, Whitsundays and Tropical North Queensland, the north-west coast of Western Australia, South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island and Tasmania's Freycinet Peninsula, which includes perennial favourite Wineglass Bay.

Tourism Australia managing director Andrew McEvoy said the survey put paid to the myth that Australians had fallen out of love with domestic beach holidays.

''This research confirms our country offers some of the most beautiful, safe and high quality beach holiday experiences in the world,'' he said.

''There's a place, of course, for overseas holidays but it never fails to amaze me that people are prepared to battle queues and immigration to sit on busy beaches, sharing the sea frontage with noisy pubs and heaving night clubs, when Australia has some of the world's most incredible pristine coastline and beaches.''

Durham University academics win prestigious astronomy prizes

Public release date: 18-Jan-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Contact: Gareth Dant media.relations@durham.ac.uk 01-913-346-075 Durham University

Two rising young stars in the world of astronomy research have been awarded prestigious prizes by the Royal Astronomical Society. Durham University academics Dr Mark Swinbank and Dr Baojiu Li were awarded two of this year's 14 accolades the Fowler prize and Winton Capital award.

The prizes from the RAS, the UK's voice for professional astronomers and geophysicists, honour individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to their disciplines.

Professor Martin Ward, head of Durham University's Department of Physics, said: "It is a great honour for Durham Physics that two of our brightest young rising research stars have been given these prestigious awards, one in the area of observational astrophysics and the other in theoretical cosmology."

The Society's Fowler prizes are awarded to individuals who have made a particularly noteworthy contribution at an early stage of their research career.

Dr Mark Swinbank received the 2013 Fowler Award for astronomy for the drive and initiative he has shown in developing new techniques to determine the nature and evolutionary histories of high redshift galaxies seen as they were when the Universe was young. Dr Swinbank was awarded his PhD by Durham University in 2005 and since then has been highly productive, publishing 90 papers in high-impact refereed journals (18 as lead author).

His particular contribution has been to couple the new generation of integral field unit (IFU) spectrographs with adaptive optics and to take advantage of the natural magnification of distant galaxies resulting from gravitational lensing.

Dr Swinbank's work has provided some of the most detailed information yet obtained on the motion of and star formation properties of distant galaxies.

His world-leading contributions include determining the properties of galaxies at large distances (so far away that light we see from left between seven and 11.5 billion years ago), including their rotation and the distribution of their star forming regions.

Astronomy Teacher Finds Hubble Telescope's Hidden Treasure

A Connecticut astronomy teacher has uncovered a dazzling view of a satellite galaxy to the Milky Way while exploring the "hidden treasures" of the Hubble Space Telescope.

The new Hubble photo, released Thursday (Jan. 17), shows an intriguing star nursery dotted with dark dust lanes in the Large Magellanic Cloud about 200,000 light-years from Earth. The Hubble observation used to create the image was discovered in the telescope's archives by Josh Lake, a high school astronomy teacher at Pomfret School in Pomfret, Conn., as part of the "Hubble Hidden Treasures" contest that challenged space fans to find unseen images from the observatory.

Hubble officials also released an eye-popping video tour of the Large Magellanic Cloud, which zooms in on the region highlighted in Lake's photo.

Lake won first prize in the Hubble photo contest with an image of the LHA 120-N11 (N11) region of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Hubble officials combined Lake's image with more observations of the N11 region in blue, green and near-infrared light wavelengths to create the new view.

"In the center of this image, a dark finger of dust blots out much of the light," Hubble officials said in an image description. "While nebulae are mostly made of hydrogen, the simplest and most plentiful element in the universe, dust clouds are home to heavier and more complex elements, which go on to form rocky planets like the Earth." [Hubble Telescope's Hidden Treasures: Winning Photos

The interstellar dust in N11 is extremely fine, much more so than household dust on Earth. It is more similar to smoke, researchers explained.

The Large Magellanic Cloud, or LMC, is one of two small satellite galaxies of the Milky Way (the other is the smaller, aptly named Small Magellanic Cloud). Because of its relatively close proximity, the Large Magellanic Cloud has long been used as a sort of cosmic laboratory to study how stars form in other galaxies.

"It lies in a fortuitous location in the sky, far enough from the plane of the Milky Way that it is neither outshone by too many nearby stars, nor obscured by the dust in the Milky Ways center," Hubble officials said in a statement. "It is also close enough to study in detail and lies almost face-on, giving us a birds eye view."

In addition to the N11 region, the Large Magellanic Cloud is also home to the spectacular Tarantula nebula, the brightest nearby star nursery, Hubble officials said.

Barbara H. Dennis, coordinator of publications and promotions at Penn State York, said the students want to win, but the focus is on "gracious professionalism."

"Teams that want to win, they're socializing, talking to one another, helping one another," Dennis said.

Coyle referenced a team from Phoenixville, Pa., in Chester County, helping a team from York two years ago.

Aerospace taking off, says hedge fund manager

By Hibah Yousuf January 17, 2013: 4:26 PM ET

The Dreamliners may be temporarily grounded, but one hedge fund manager is betting that aircraft makers are about to take off.

"The aerospace industry was essentially put on hold during the few years since the financial crisis, but now there is a real need for modern planes," said Dinakar Singh, founder and CEO of New York-based hedge fund TPG-Axon Capital Management, adding that he expects the industry will enjoy strong and steady growth around the world for the next 10 to 15 years.

Even though Boeing (BA) has been under pressure lately because of trouble with its 787 Dreamliner, the company along with rival Airbus, part of European aerospace group EADS, will continue to dominate the industry, said Singh while speaking at the Bloomberg Global Markets Summit in New York Thursday.

Singh's bullishness also extends to airlines, particularly ones in Asia, like Japan Airlines, which has been profitable recently even as the U.S. airline industry has been struggling.

But he's thinks even U.S. airlines are a good bet, following years of tough restructuring.

Singh said Delta and United are in the best financial shape, with United poised for "years and years of profitability" thanks to its 2010 merger with Continental Airlines.

NUTRITION MATTERS: Get creative with a healthy lunchbox

YOU probably know by now the importance of balanced nutrition and making informed food choices on the path to improving your health. One major obstacle in your daily diet, however, is eating poor lunches at work. A lack of time, group pressure and deadlines cause many people to resort to eating unhealthy fast foods or munching a boring homemade sandwich.

One way of offsetting that is with a nutritionally creative lunchbox.

Healthy eating does not happen in a vacuum. It requires good planning of meals followed by purposeful shopping.

Lunch is the second most important meal after breakfast, as it is essential in generating your energy levels through regulating your blood glucose levels throughout the day. This improves your performance and has a positive effect on appetite and weight control.

A nutritionally balanced lunch not only avoids the need for inappropriate snacking late in the afternoon but also helps you enjoy a lighter dinner.

Packed with fibre, anti-oxidants, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, a nutritionally balanced lunch consists of the following food items:

1. The right kind of protein

That means low-fat protein foods rich in omega-3 fat, such as low-fat or fat-free yoghurt, white fish, fatty fish (peppered mackerel, sardines, pilchards, salmon or tuna) low -fat cheese, chicken (without the skin), soya beans, tofu and lean cold meats (pastrami, roast beef or ham).

2. The right kind of carbohydrates

That means whole-grain, high-fibre, low-GI starches such as wild or brown rice, bulgur wheat, quinoa, stampkoring, canned chickpeas, lentils and beans, as well as wholewheat crackers and heavy seed breads.

Foods Nutrition Experts Will Never Eat

As a registered dietitian, many people are interested in what foods I eat, and just as often, what would never land on my plate. All foods fit, I say to them, and to my patients. Anything in moderation. But truth be told, there are foods that--barring a deserted-island situation--I wouldn't touch. White bread, Spam, sugary breakfast cereals, soda, cheese doodles, and Doritos: Not for me. I avoid foods that offer very limited, if any, nutritional benefit. While I have a few exceptions, at this point, those kinds of foods don't even taste good to me.

I asked my registered dietitian (RD) friends, with whom I've enjoyed good food and cocktails, what foods they avoid:

Karen Ansel, MS, RD, CDN, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and coauthor of The Calendar Diet: A Month by Month Guide to Losing Weight While Living Your Life

"As for what I wouldn't eat: hot dogs, without a doubt. Even if they're nitrate-free, they're still made up of too many parts and pieces, which is just unnatural."

Patricia Bannan, MS, RD, author of Eat Right When Time is Tight

"Sugary soda. Not only does it taste overly-sweet, it's such a waste of calories. A 12-ounce can of soda has almost 40 grams of sugar, and research shows excess sugar can lead to excess pounds and a myriad of health issues. If you do love a soda, limit it to once or twice a month, and get used to other options like citrus-infused water or non-sugared iced tea."

[Beverage Face-Offs: Which One Is Best?]

Elisa Zied, MS, RD, CDN, author of Nutrition at Your Fingertips and fellow Eat + Run blogger

"I would not eat brains, frog legs, or bugs. Otherwise, no foods are off limits, as I think all foods can fit into a healthful and balanced diet. And when I want something that I don't think of as healthy--like a hot dog, pastrami, French fries, Doritos, or a Hostess cupcake--I have it, but keep the portion small."
