( University of California - Santa Barbara ) For the first time, a team of international researchers has found a way to view the accretion disks surrounding Black Holes and verify that their true electromagnetic spectra match what astronomers have long predicted they would be. Their work will be published in the July 24 issue of the science journal Nature. ... Source: stacks.iop.org --- 6 hours ago

Although we can't actually see a Black hole, we can see the Black hole's effect on nearby matter. But even that is difficult because infrared light from clouds of dust and gas usually pollutes the view. But astronomers have found a way to get a clean view of the disks surrounding Black [...] ...

Quasars are the brilliant cores of remote galaxies, thought to be powered by supermassive Black Holes accreting surrounding gas. Central to this picture is a putative accretion disk which is believed to be the source of the majority of the radiative output. A paper in the current issue of Nature by a team of scientists, led by Makoto Kishimoto of the Max Planck Institute for Radioastronomy, verifies a long-standing prediction about the intensely luminous radiation emitted by these accretion disks... ...

Google announced on its official blog Wednesday the debut of Knol , a Wikipedia-like online encyclopedia penned by authoritative sources. Udi Manber loves cartoons. Not animations, but the single-panel graphics that appear in magazines like The New Yorker . He studies the history of the field, has covered the walls of his house with framed originals, and has edited a book of cartoons about Google, where he works as the head of search engineering. "Udi's not just a fan, he's a connoisseur," says Robert Mankoff, cartoon editor of The New Yorker . When not thinking about cartoons, Manber spends endless time thinking about how search can be improved. One big reason many searches don't succeed, he believes, is that despite the 20 billion or so Web pages in Google's indexes -- including the 2 million items in Wikipedia -- the information simply isn't there. For instance, what if you wanted to learn all about Peter Arno, a celebrated New Yorker cartoonist who died in 1968? You wouldn't get lucky. The items appearing in the first page of results give only the barest information on Arno's life and work. Of course, it's not just information about cartoonists that's missing -- according to Manber there are thousands of Black Holes when it comes to things searchers want to know. What people need, Manber concluded about a year-and-a-half ago, is the information that would come "when an expert who knows this topic would tell you, if they had 1 ...
SCROLL DOWN TO SEE VIDEO! For 50 years North Shore residents have been stopping by Route One Miniature Golf and Batting Cages to enjoy quality family entertainment. With the landmark Route 1 South business about to celebrate its 50th anniversary on July 29, owners Richard and Diana Fay have decided to mark the occasion by offering a host of specials — a free round of mini golf for the first 50 visitors, discounted prices and free face painting. Route One Miniature Golf has remained family-owned since the late Nick Melchionna, Diana Fay’s uncle, opened the course in 1958. The Fays assumed ownership in 1979 and have run the complex over the last 29 years. The couple oversees a staff of eight employees responsible for maintaining the 18-hole mini golf course, batting cages, arcade and the Dairy Castle ice cream stand. Many of the obstacles Melchionna installed in the early years still stand today, such as the rotating rocket ship, wishing well and windmill. More structures were added to the Holes periodically to give the course a fresh feel, Diana Fay noted. Before this season the Fays brought in a tree house, Black stallion and Humpty Dumpty from a mini golf course belonging to a family member in New Hampshire. They named the tree house after their granddaughter Bella, while their grandson Noah has a bowling alley named in his honor on the following hole. Of course the most celebrated attraction at Route One Miniature Golf is the g ...
At pub trivia last night, the audience flipped over a round asking us to name the top 10 party schools. In addition to being totally subjective, none of the various rankings agree. Some schools (Brigham Young, Liberty University, Thomas Aquinas) are obvious party Black Holes, and others (U Chicago, Columbia) take turns being the place where fun goes to die, but which state schools deserve the title of top party school? Bloggers may be biased, so I’ll just include two reliable sources – Princeton Review and Playboy. Princeton Review’s top 10: 1 West Virginia University 2 University of Mississippi 3 The University of Texas at Austin 4 University of Florida 5 University of Georgia 6 Penn State--University Park 7 University of New Hampshire 8 Indiana University at Bloomington 9 Ohio University-Athens 10 University of California-Santa Barbara Playboy’s top 10: 1.
