Hartford Experiment Along For Ride As SpaceX's 'Dragon' Makes History
Successfully docking the first ever commercial spaceship to the government-funded International Space Station is not only a question of competition. Transferring the part of space obligations to private bodies might help encourage agencies to go further. However, even if Dragon helps unloading Russian space, it is still question of funds allocation.
It seems that the Dragon launch and successful docking to the ISS means much more for space flights than previously thought. On one hand, NASA might eventually have received a replacement for retired shuttles.
On the other hand, Russia seems to be gradually losing its potential customers, since the USA, as well as Europe and Japan now possess cargo ships capable of carrying necessary supplies to the ISS. Moreover, the Dragon is capable of delivering cargo back to Earth - an option that neither Progress nor ATV and HTV can boast.
However, if the ISS is not the ultimate target it would make sense to have it replaced for both Roscosmos and NASA, as this would free both agencies from having to maintain the station until 2020.
At least that was an initial aim of NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) Program, which includes launches of Dragon (developed by Space Exploration Technologies Corp., or Space X) and ships built by Orbital Science Corporation.
The same might be true for Russia, as the ISS, as many critics have pointed out, requires effort and is extremely costly, thus hindering other branches of space science. With a fleet of retired shuttles, the only remaining ship to carry astronauts to the ISS is the Soyuz (with three seats), but it takes a crew of six to keep the station fully functional.
Prospectively, the Dragon will carry people to space as well, as soon more research is done. While Space X, the developer of the ship and its launcher Falcon 9, is sure that human spaceflight will happen in the next few years, the time lag might eventually be a great deal longer.
The second demonstration flight of the Dragon was delayed for a year (meanwhile, the Russian corporation Energia is building a new transportation system that should be ready for the first unmanned launch in 2015, with manned expeditions following in 2018). Nonetheless, it is most likely that first commercially-built spacecraft will berth the station before the end of the decade.
Recently, the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) has offered its partners to prolong the ISS expeditions to nine months, instead of the current six-month period, which would presumably reduce the number of manned launches. According to Alexey Krasnov, the head of the human programs of the agency, this would futher promote human flights.
Earlier, the head of Roscomos, Vladimir Popovkin, speculated that it might be more effective to switch to visiting expeditions rather than keep the station constantly manned.

A ceremony in the Saline River bottoms on Monday afternoon marked the offical dedication of the Longview-Saline Natural Area as part of the state's system of natural areas.
Ashley County native and Gov. Mike Beebe's chief of staff Morril Harriman joined Chris Colclasure of the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission and Arkansas State Forester-designate Joe Fox in signing the agreement.
About 50 people braved the moderately warm weather and the extremely hungry multitude of mosquitos for the ceremony about a quarter mile off the gravel road in the woods of the natural area.
Scott Simon, director of The Nature Conservancy in Arkansas, in opening the program noted that the pine flatwoods eco system is an important foundation for Arkansas' economy but also a "whole host of rare habitats found nowhere else in the world other than in Arkansas and a little bit in Louisiana." He said that preserving the land happened "because you all have decided to work together on a place like this." The result of the efforts is "basically creating a string of beautiful pearls across South Arkansas," Simon said, "and that's what we are here to celebrate today."
Those local funds, Smith said, are special because with threatened species, the local funds can leverage millions of federal dollars.
Jennifer Akin, a conservation biologist with the Natural Heritage Commission, said that ecologically, "this place is very rare." She noted that the natural area protects three miles of the Saline River, one of the most species rich rivers in the state. The project will protect nine mussel types, she said, three of which are federally endangered. Mussels are one of the most unprotected species, she noted. The area also has habitat for the red cockaded woodpecker, another federally endangered species.
Akin said that the pine areas like the Longview-Saline area have been the second least protected type of woodland. She said that the area will be "a large pearl: connecting other areas such as the Warren Prairie and Felsenthal. Longview-Saline is a stepping stone in conservation, she said, part of a conservation corridor from northern Louisiana to central Arkansas.
Bryan Rupar of Natural Heritage thanked Molpus Timberlands for the company's cooperation noting that transactions like the Longview-Saline area could not take place "without all these partners working together." He also introduced Ricky Chastain of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission who said that the area will be open for hunting.
In introducing Harriman, Simon said that one of the things that the people can be proudest of in Arkansas is how they are led, citing Harriman and Gov. Beebe.
In his comments, Harriman recalled fishing in the Saline River and hunting in the Saline River bottoms while he was growing up as well as Sunday afternoon trips to the Ozment's Bluff swimming hole on the river.

Bangkok, May 29 (Xinhua-ANI): About 3,000 police will be deployed to secure law and order on Wednesday when the Yellow Shirts will rally against the government-backed reconciliation bill while the Red Shirts will take the street to support the bill, the national police chief Pol Gen Priewpan Damapong said Tuesday.
Metropolitan Police earlier planned to deploy some 600 police but after Pol Gen Priewpan had a meeting with other police heads today, the number was revised to 3,000.
The anti-Thaksin People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), better known as Yellow Shirt movement, will gather at Loyal Plaza in Bangkok before marching to the Parliament. They will also set up the stage to deliver speeches.
The pro-Thaksin United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), alias Red Shirts, will gather and set up a stage in front of the Parliament in order to show their support to the bill.
The police was directed to prevent both political camps from clashing with each other and ensure there will be no third parties to instigate violence during the gatherings.
The reconciliation bill is aimed at granting amnesty to all political offenders, including the ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted by the 2006 coup, and those behind the killing of 92 people in the bloody 2010 dispersion on the pro-Thaksin Red Shirt protesters. However, it has so far faced strong resistance from the opposition party, mainly Democrat Party, and the Yellow Shirt members. (Xinhua-ANI)

Nasa scientists believe they have found a way to spot osteoporosis bone loss at the earliest disease stages.
Currently, the condition can go undetected for years and may only be diagnosed with scans after weakening of the bones has led to a fracture.
The new test - designed partly with astronauts in mind as they too can suffer bone loss due to the microgravity of space - looks for traces of bone calcium in the urine.
The work is published in PNAS journal.
The technique developed by scientists at Arizona State University working with the US space agency analyses calcium isotopes - different atoms of the element calcium, derived from bone and each with their own specific number of neutrons.
This could therefore have a future role in the clinical evaluation of patients
The balance or abundance of these different isotopes changes when bone is destroyed and formed and can therefore indicate early changes in bone density.
To put it to the test, the researchers studied a dozen healthy volunteers whom they confined to bed rest for 30 days. Prolonged bed rest triggers bone loss.
The technique was able to detect bone loss after as little as one week of bed rest - long before changes in bone density would be detectable on conventional medical scans such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

New ISO Technical Report Guides Characterization of Nanomaterials in Toxicology U.S. Leadership Supports Development of Newly Released International Guidelines New York May 29, 2012
ISO TR 13014:2012 was prepared by ISO TC 229, Nanotechnologies, Working Group (WG) 3, Health, Safety and Environment, under the project leadership of Dr. Richard Pleus of the United States. This group is U.S.-led, operating under the leadership of Dr. Laurie Locascio of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Dr. Vladimir Murashov of the National Institutes of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) serves as the WG 3 chair for the U.S. Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to ISO TC 229, which is accredited and administered by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
By understanding the chemical and physical characteristics of nano-objects, we are working to decrease toxicity of materials and promote the development of safer alternatives, said Dr. Pleus. The work done in this document has a fundamental importance in toxicology, as it tells scientists the material being tested needs to be understood: What does it look like? What is it made of? How does it interact with the surrounding environment?
Nanotechnology, which refers to the manipulation and control of matter in the nanoscale (approximately 1 to 100 nm), is revolutionizing virtually all industry sectors, from information technology to medicine to clean energy production. The ANSI-administered U.S. TAG to ISO TC 229 is responsible for formulating all U.S. positions and proposals with regard to ISO standardization in the field of nanotechnology.
The U.S. has been an active participant and effective leader within ISO TC 229 since the formation of the committee in 2005, playing a key role in influencing the strategic and technical direction of the committees standardization initiatives, said Fran Schrotter, senior vice president and chief operating officer at ANSI.
Participation on the U.S. TAG to ISO TC 229 is open to all materially affected U.S. national interested parties. For more information, visit http://www.ansi.org/isotc229tag or contact the TAG administrator, Heather Benko (hbenko@ansi.org).

A band of extremist eco-anarchist groups has attacked several researchers and organizations involved with nuclear science and nanotechnology.
By Cristina Luiggi | May 29, 2012

Earlier this month, an eco-anarchist group called the Olga Cell claimed responsibility for the non-fatal shooting of Roberto Adinolfi, a nuclear-engineering executive at Ansaldo Nucleare in Genoa, Italy. In a 4-page letter sent to an Italian newspaper, the Olga Cell not only justified the attack on Adinolfiby stating with this action of ours, we return to you a tiny part of the suffering that you, man of science, are pouring into this worldbut also threatened further attacks on scientists.
The Olga Cell had previously been linked to other acts of terrorism, including the 2011 bombing of the offices of the lobby group, Swissnuclear, in Olten, Switzerland.
According to Nature, the Olga Cell, which is part of the larger Informal Anarchist Federation International Revolutionary Front, is now joining forces with extremist groups in other countries, including Mexico, Chile, Greece, and the United Kingdomprompting some research organizations to ramp up security measures.
Nuclear science isnt the only field under attack. A terrorist group called Tending Towards Savagery bombed two nanotechnology facilities in Mexico in 2011. Some believe that these separate attacks form part of an increasing degree of international networking between perpetrators, a Swiss Federal Intelligence Service spokesman told Nature. Although the danger of drawing an attack varies depending on the fieldwith defense-related fields and nano- and nuclear sciences at seemingly higher risksits up to institutions to take preventative actions, the spokesman said.

It has been a few years since the Lucknow Sentinel has had a website redesign but that day came last week as we launched a new site that in my mind is leaps and bounds above the previous site.
Im one of those reporters who still enjoy writing for a print newspaper, but embracing the digital world is essential for the survival of the small community newspaper. I want to get as many people reading the paper as possible and this includes providing good local news online.
Our new website is more colorful and accessible to our reader and I hope it allows them to experience what the Lucknow Sentinel is all about. As the editor at the Sentinel I want people to know I provide local community news where a larger paper wouldnt be able to do the same.
I always hear from our subscribers who live outside of Lucknow that they wouldnt know whats going on in the village unless they were reading the Sentinel.
I think the user experience on you new site will offer people a lot more since they can take part in polls, post upcoming events and even upload user generated articles and pictures.
The website is trying to deliver that full user experience while at the same time making it a great source of local news and sports.
There will always be that divide of people who prefer print content over online content, because there are still people who dont own computers, but I think both mediums should be able to coexist in harmony.
I think in the future digital content will take over print, but print wont go away. There will always be a place for print because there are still many people who like the hardcopy of a paper in their hands.
Just as long as the news gets to people Ill be happy. The material may change for how people take in news, but just as long as people in the Lucknow area are able to still get local news it can only be a good thing.
Im going to make a poll on the website asking people what their number one choice is for taking in news on a daily or weekly basis. It will range from digital to print, but it will involve newspaper, radio, TV and Internet. Im interested to see how people take in news. I myself probably use a combination of each, but the newspaper is still the number one way I take in news.

Mary J. Blige has released a new music video for her latest single Dont Mind off her album My Life II: The Journey Continues, Act 1. The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul decided to ditch the background dancers and fancy storylines for the majority of the video, instead opting to sing and groove from a chair.
If the song sounds a little familiar, Mary used the same track for her infamous Burger King commercial where she changed up the lyrics and sang about crispy chicken wraps. The commercial may have been snatched down as quickly as it made its way through the internet, but it seems like Marys moving past it and has given us a love jam about being down for your boo, even if you fuss and fight.

Remember when displaying bad manners meant just putting your elbows on the dining table? Today, with all of our mobile devices, we can be rude anywhere at any time.
My bet is, youll agree that some of these mobile missteps make you want to slap the perpetrators upside the head. Let's count some of the ways.
Heres the epitome of arrogance: people who talk on the phone or tap out text messages while they check out at the grocery store or pay at a drive-through. They make the cashier wait, and hold up the line.
A question for these folks: Are you really so self-absorbed that you don't feel the cold stares from everyone around you?
If youre close to checkout, hold off taking or making that call, or initiating a chat. It can wait 2 minutes.
Its difficult to explain whats so annoying about watching someone simultaneously walk and text-message or email. Teenagers are notorious for doing this--heck, the other day I even spotted a young man riding a bike while texting. And you've probably seen this unfortunate episode:
When youre heads-down to such a degree that you cant even get from the car into a store without tapping away, something is wrong with your idea of being plugged in to the digital world. Get real--as in, lift your head, put down your phone, and notice how the weather is, or what the people around you are doing. The physical world can be interesting, if you can stash your device away long enough to notice it.
One of my friends is into psychology, speaks four languages, and is a user experience designer for a logistics software company. In short, hes a brilliant guy who knows a thing or two about how the brain works. For him, its a major offense when people around him are playing games on mobile devices with full speaker sound. Its even worse when its a game that I play privately, because it triggers a reflexive cognitive response that I am unable to filter out, unlike most sounds, he says.
I dont know much about cognitive reflexes, but I definitely consider it audio pollution when my teenage son cranks up the volume to watch YouTube skateboarding videos on the family iPad--the music and the sound of boards crashing onto sidewalks irritates me.
Be cognizant that others around you probably dont appreciate the sounds emanating from your phone or tablet.
