Could Californians finally be serious about turning around their sputtering economy? One hopeful sign is a ballot initiative that would repeal the Golden State's version of a cap-and-trade carbon tax.
This feel-good law to reduce the state's carbon footprint was enacted with great hoopla by the

(ANSAR) – ROMA, 3 DIC -’Roma ospitera’ il museo dei futuristi, in un sede ancora da decidere’. Lo annuncia l’assessore alla cultura del comune di Roma, Umberto Croppi. ‘Il museo comprendera’ anche la collezione della fondazione di Giacomo Balla che appartiene a Laura Biagiotti’, aggiunge Croppi, che ha presentato l’arazzo di Balla intitolato ‘Genio Futurista’ e che sara’ esposto nell’Ara Pacis fino al 31 gennaio. Il taglio del nastro e’ stato affidato al presidente della Repubblica Napolitano e al sindaco Alemanno.

The Charming Beach Town of Akumal, Mexico
Akumal is a small beach town nestled between the popular tourist destinations of Playa Del Carmen and Tulum along the Riviera Maya on Mexico’s Caribbean coast. While I have been to this region of Mexico several times, I never thought to stop in Akumal until my most recent trip. After asking locals for snorkeling recommendations, I was consistently told that I could never expect to see as many sea turtles as I would in a matter of breaststrokes from the shore of Akumal.
When I arrived at the beach, my “common sense” told me that it wasn’t really possible. The beach was littered with sunbathers emerging out of the hotels that line the coast, and the waters were packed with small fishing boats and snorkelers. How could turtles be casually hanging around all this activity? I gave it the benefit of the doubt and took the plunge.
I swam as far away from shore as was safe and saw nothing but an infinite field of kelp and felt disappointment. I decided to turn back. Then, all of the sudden, I saw three turtles feeding! It was incredible and as I kept snorkeling around I came across at least a dozen more. Completely unfazed by human presence, I swam alongside one for several minutes that had two remora fish attached to it. I even saw a sting ray and a fairly large barracuda.
I’m told the turtles tend to stick to the northern section of the beach and you really don’t have to swim out too far to encounter them. I later learned that Akumal means “place of the turtle” in Mayan language.

Final Memorandum on Analysis of NASA's Final Program-Specific Recovery Act Plans
NASA OIG: Final Memorandum on Analysis of NASA's Final Agency-Wide Recovery Act Plan
"During our initial review of the five program plans, we found that each had a number of minor compliance issues when compared to the OMB Guidance. Specifically, none of the five program plans included a description of periodic reviews of planned Recovery Act-related activities in the Monitoring and Evaluation section. In addition, one program plan did not identify projects and activities funded under the Recovery Act and did not address the section on Federal Infrastructure Investments."

This bit of Blu-Ray news was left suspiciously out of Sony's CES keynotes and big reveals, which doesn't bode well...but anyway. Now it's out: The BD Live feature MovieIQ Sync debuted with Michael Jackson's This Is It. Woo?
Now, what does this feature do, exactly? Well here's a refresher...it lets you view supplementary materials on your PC or iPhone while you watch the movie, without any of it appearing on the TV screen. The "sync" part means the information presented on your monitor or iPhone is synced up appropriately with the movie.
The disc also has a feature that allows owners to create and share custom playlists using songs from the movie. Again, not a lot of fanfare about this. Could it be that most people don't really mess around with all this extra crap on their discs, and just, you know, want to watch the movie? [BigPictureBigSound via Engadget]
Brazil is one of my favorite countries. Cool people, great music, heavenly beaches, and caipirinhas. But if you have to buy a Mac, you are screwed. And like this graphic shows, it's the same in other places in the world.
Brazil wins, however: The price of one MacBook Pro 17" there buys you two identical models in the US. It's the same with other Apple products, so if you can't live without your Apple fix, you better move to another country.
I'd take the caipirinhas and the beaches, thank you very much. [cmyplay—Thanks]
Hi all
As a mechanical engineer, the question bugs me, how a stainless steel vacuum flask is manufactured. How and where is the air evacuated out of the assembly, and how does one weld where a vacuum would suck any molten material away?
Not just curiosity, but forming part of a sma
Here's your job: Stand for ten hours in a noisy convention center. (You might want to wear something revealing.) Try to get the attention of thousands of men—and a few women—who rush by. And don't forget to smile.
We didn't approach these women—models, actresses, circus performers, dancers, students, nurses, programmers—just to ogle and schmooze. We didn't simply want to collect pretty pictures for readers to drool over. (Although we did that, too.) We wanted to get to know the girls, their pasts, how they came to be booth babes, what they did when they weren't charming strangers, and what they experienced during their times at conventions such as CES.
Many of these intelligent, charming women had a sense of reluctance when it came to taking members of the press seriously. Often we heard girls talk of men who don't understand that a "press badge isn't an excuse" to fondle them as one might touch "everything shiny and pretty" in the booths.
A booth babe's job is to lure convention attendees into her booths, to do a product demonstration or to pass people off to a coworker. That's fine. But when misunderstandings occur—or attendees forget they're interacting with living, breathing human beings—some attendees turn into jerks, pressing intimidatingly close and crossing boundaries.
Some slip these girls their hotel keys, pressuring them for a visit later in the day. Others mistake professional flirting for actual flirting and try pick-up lines. "Do you know what the speed of light inside a vacuum is? I do."
We've shown off pictures of booth babes plenty and even encouraged ogling them. Others in the tech industry, such as game developer EA, have promoted this mentality to the point of offering a bounty to anyone harassing their booth babes with photo evidence. The point is that these girls are being paid to be pretty and cordial—and we aren't ashamed to enjoy checking them out and laughing with them.
But there wasn't a single woman we spoke to that didn't have at least one icky experience. Let their confessions serve as a warning to you: don't be a creep.
Many thanks to Adam Lam and Christopher Mascari for assisting with the video, Michael Margolis for sending in a few photos, every wonderful woman who spoke to us (particularly Bob Suicide whose encounter guided along this idea), and every single gal running a booth or promoting a product.
Hey storage fiends? The 4TB WSS NAS monster from Buffalo just jumped the Pacific and made its way Stateside. The smokey smell is your credit card.
At $2,000, the 4TB version may be a bit steep for some, and the 2TB version for $1,600 ain't much cheaper. But that's still a lot of storage.
For comparison's sake, one of this unit's predecessors, a 3TB beast launched in 2007, was $2183. One extra terabyte, just $183. Now, what to fill it with... [PR Newswire via Engadget]
