How night owls are cleverer and richer than people who rise early

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1173028/How-night-owls-cleverer-richer-people-rise-early.html

It has long been held that the early bird catches the worm. But it is the night owl that lasts the distance, research shows.
It found that late risers tire less quickly than those who make a point of getting up at the crack of dawn.
The study is likely to be embraced by anyone tired of being branded lazy for their love of a lie-in.
And it adds to growing evidence that it is night owls that rule the roost.
Previous studies have found that those who rise later tend to be both cleverer and richer than early birds.
For the latest study, scientists pitted morning larks against night owls in a task designed to measure their reaction and attention times.
During the experiment, the volunteers got up and went to bed at their usual times, with the larks tending to turn in four hours earlier than the owls.
Both did similarly well at the task shortly after getting up. But ten hours into their day, it was the night owls that shone, being both quicker and more alert at the task, the journal Science reports.

Conficker virus begins to attack PCs: experts

http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE53N5I820090424

BOSTON (Reuters) - A malicious software program known as Conficker that many feared would wreak havoc on April 1 is slowly being activated, weeks after being dismissed as a false alarm, security experts said.
Conficker, also known as Downadup or Kido, is quietly turning thousands of personal computers into servers of e-mail spam and installing spyware, they said.
The worm started spreading late last year, infecting millions of computers and turning them into "slaves" that respond to commands sent from a remote server that effectively controls an army of computers known as a botnet.

American Stonehenge: Monumental Instructions for the Post-Apocalypse

·The Georgia Guidestones may be the most enigmatic monument in the US: huge slabs of granite, inscribed with directions for rebuilding civilization after the apocalypse. Only one man knows who created them—and he's not talking.
http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/magazine/17-05/ff_guidestones

The strangest monument in America looms over a barren knoll in northeastern Georgia. Five massive slabs of polished granite rise out of the earth in a star pattern. The rocks are each 16 feet tall, with four of them weighing more than 20 tons apiece. Together they support a 25,000-pound capstone. Approaching the edifice, it's hard not to think immediately of England's Stonehenge or possibly the ominous monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Built in 1980, these pale gray rocks are quietly awaiting the end of the world as we know it.
Called the Georgia Guidestones, the monument is a mystery—nobody knows exactly who commissioned it or why. The only clues to its origin are on a nearby plaque on the ground—which gives the dimensions and explains a series of intricate notches and holes that correspond to the movements of the sun and stars—and the "guides" themselves, directives carved into the rocks. These instructions appear in eight languages ranging from English to Swahili and reflect a peculiar New Age ideology. Some are vaguely eugenic (guide reproduction wisely—improving fitness and diversity); others prescribe standard-issue hippie mysticism (prize truth—beauty—love—seeking harmony with the infinite).

Dalai Lama discusses global economy at UC Santa Barbara

·'This crisis is good,' Tibetan leader says, because it reminds people that money has limitations. He also speaks about arcane aspects of Buddhist history and philosophy.
http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-dalai25-2009apr25,0,7264017.story

Reporting from Santa Barbara -- The Dalai Lama, in a ringing denunciation, declared Friday that the ailing global economy is the result of "too much greed, and lies and hypocrisy."
"These are some of the factors behind the global crisis," he said at a news conference at UC Santa Barbara. "Those people who feel that money is the most important thing in life, when economic crisis hits, learn that it is only one way to be happy. There is also family, friends and peace of mind."
"Therefore, this crisis is good," he added with a laugh, "because it reminds people who only want to see money grow and grow that there are limitations."

Fighting Deadly Flu, Mexico Shuts Schools

·The World Health Organization planned to consider raising the world pandemic flu alert to 4 from 3. Such a high level of alert has not been reached in recent years, even with the H5N1 avian flu circulating in Asia and Egypt.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/25/world/americas/25mexico.html?_r=1&hpw

MEXICO CITY — Mexican officials, scrambling to control a swine flu outbreak that has killed as many as 61 people and infected possibly hundreds more in recent weeks, closed museums and shuttered schools for millions of students in and around the capital on Friday, and urged people with flu symptoms to stay home from work.
“We’re dealing with a new flu virus that constitutes a respiratory epidemic that so far is controllable,” Mexico's health minister, José Ángel Córdova, told reporters after huddling with President Felipe Calderón and other top officials on Thursday night to come up with an action plan. He said the virus had mutated from pigs and had at some point been transmitted to humans.
The new strain contains gene sequences from North American and Eurasian swine flus, North American bird flu and North American human flu, said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A similar virus has been found in the American Southwest, where officials have reported eight nonfatal cases.
Most of Mexico’s dead were young, healthy adults, and none were over 60 or under 3 years old, the World Health Organization said. That alarms health officials because seasonal flus cause most of their deaths among infants and bedridden elderly people, but pandemic flus — like the 1918 Spanish flu, and the 1957 and 1968 pandemics — often strike young, healthy people the hardest.

If no buyers are found for government bonds, debt interests could bankrupt the UK

http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/economics/article6164694.ece

[ ... ]

As John Wraith, the head of sterling rates product development at RBC Capital, says: “If investors get worried, and start to think this is the norm, they may sell the market or demand much higher yields. At the moment, interest payments on the national debt are 3 per cent of GDP, but you could easily see it get to 6 per cent. Six per cent of £1.2 trillion is more than £70 billion — and that’s just the interest bill.

“That is unaffordable. If you get to that, that is IMF territory — it means that you, as an economy, have gone bankrupt and can no longer afford to run your country’s finances. That’s a scenario, not a forecast, but it’s a perfectly feasible one.”

For the time being, most international investors see the current crisis as still being global, rather than Britain’s fault. But the Government — or a Conservative successor — will need to make tough decisions in coming years to prove that it has brought the fiscal situation under control.

If not, it is perfectly possible that the IMF will do it for them, relegating Britain to the stature of a Latin American banana republic in the process.

Police caught on tape trying to recruit Plane Stupid protester as spy

·Climate change activist taped men who offered cash for information about group's members and activities.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/apr/24/strathclyde-police-plane-stupid-recruit-spy
[Juliana Napier, Tilly Gifford and Dan Glass with some of the recording equipment they used.]

Undercover police are running a network of hundreds of informants inside protest organisations who secretly feed them intelligence in return for cash, according to evidence handed to the Guardian.

They claim to have infiltrated a number of environmental groups and said they are receiving information about leaders, tactics and plans of future demonstrations.

The dramatic disclosures are revealed in almost three hours of secretly recorded discussions between covert officers claiming to be from Strathclyde police, and an activist from the protest group Plane Stupid, whom the officers attempted to recruit as a paid spy after she had been released on bail following a demonstration at Aberdeen airport last month.

Evidence:The Case For NASA UFOs

David Sereda presents this NASA footage and his remarkable discoveries in this two part series. He shows proof of intelligent craft through the process of elimination of other plausible phenomena; fundamental principles of faster than light technology and corroborating evidence found on the disc shaped objects; links to the supposed spacecraft and an identifiable star system. Over 2 hours of
coverage. Starring David Sereda and featuring television and film celebrity Dan Akroyd.

David Sereda - NASA's Dilemma Caught On Tape

NASA’S DILEMMA: UFOS CAUGHT ON CAMERA, with David Sereda. David Sereda discusses his personal UFO sighting in Berkley, CA in 1967, “When you see video and photographs, from the perspective of having seen a UFO with your own eyes, eyes that never lie, the photographs remind you of the truth that this is all real. But for the person who has never seen one with their eyes, they think perhaps this is all some kind of trickery.” Always following the Astronauts on every Apollo mission, David Sereda grew up with the love of spaceflight. He has particularly followed closely the career of Astronaut Gordon Cooper, the legend with the "right stuff" who also happens to be the most outspoken on the matter of extraterrestrial-related phenomena. As far as Sereda is concerned, if Gordon Cooper says it's real, you can take that to the bank. In 1994, Martyn Stubbs, the Canadian UFO researcher, who archived hundreds of hours of live NASA missions, approached David to conduct a scientific investigation into anomalies with NASA video footage. He spent 6 years in private discussions with top NASA officials and scientists about these anomalies. In 2002, he released a book and 3-hour documentary film, Evidence, the Case for NASA UFOs. He will discuss the significance of UFO technology, the quest for a supraluminal propulsion system and becoming free of the bonds of planet earth!

British scientists study Hawaiian happy face spider

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/5199409/British-scientists-study-Hawaiian-happy-face-spider.html

The spider, which measures just a few millimetres across, has developed bizarre markings giving the appearance of a smiling face.

Scientists think the spider, which has the scientific name Theridion grallator and is harmless to humans, has evolved the patterns to confuse predators.

It is under-threat of extinction in the rainforests of the Hawaiian island chain in the Pacific.

Dr Geoff Oxford, a spider expert from the University of York, said: "I must admit when I turned over the first leaf and saw one it certainly brought a smile to my face.

Mind-Reading Device Sends Twitter Messages

Twitter messages are so short - a 140-character limit - that you have to really think about what you want to say.

For Adam Wilson, thinking is all he has to do.

Earlier this month, Wilson thought of a tweet (the name for a post to the social networking site) and poof, his computer read his mind and sent the darn thing. At just 23 characters, Wilson's message, "using EEG to send tweet," was done with a computer setup that interprets brain waves.

Government set to scrap Titan prison plans

·Proposals for three 2,500 capacity jails likely to be replaced with plans for five 1,500-place prisons.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/apr/24/titan-prisons-jack-straw

The government is set to abandon plans for three 2,500-capacity Titan prisons, it emerged today.

The justice secretary, Jack Straw, is instead expected to announce plans for five 1,500-place jails on Monday.

Two of those are set to go ahead immediately.

Although sources denied the decision had anything to do with the budget or making savings, the scheme was identified in today's Guardian as one likely to be axed as a public spending squeeze puts pressure on government departments.

Other initiatives under threat are believed to include the identity card scheme, building a successor to the Trident missile and new military aircraft carriers.

"We have consulted on plans for new prisons and have listened carefully to all views," a Ministry of Justice spokesman said.

"The justice secretary will make a statement on this issue shortly, and we cannot comment further on speculation.

"Since 1997, the government has increased prison capacity by 24,000 places and we remain on course to increase the total number to 96,000 by 2014."

El 'lobby' de los transgénicos controla la política alimentaria del Gobierno

·El reciente veto de Alemania a estos productos deja a España como principal defensor.
·La ministra Garmendia presidió el mayor grupo de presión nacional.
http://gnosistema.blogspot.com/2009/04/el-lobby-de-los-transgenicos-controla.html

[La ministra Garmendia]

España se ve cada vez más sola en Bruselas a la hora de defender los cultivos de alimentos transgénicos. En los últimos meses, países como Grecia, Austria o la República Checa han prohibido la plantación de este tipo de productos dentro de sus fronteras. A ellos se les unieron recientemente Francia y Alemania, que vetaron a sus agricultores el uso de la semilla del maíz de Monsanto, la empresa líder del sector, denominada MON-810, aludiendo a supuestos riesgos sanitarios y medioambientales. Pese al aluvión de prohibiciones, la Administración española continúa defendiendo al sector en Bruselas y nuestro país copa el 80% de la producción de transgénicos de Europa.

Con un Ejecutivo que ha hecho del ecologismo uno de sus pilares, esta actitud podría sorprender, pero sus detractores esgrimen un motivo más que evidente: el lobby del sector ha logrado infiltrarse en el Gobierno. Prueba de ello es que la ministra de Innovación y Ciencia, Cristina Garmendia, ostentaba el cargo de presidenta de Asebio, considerado el mayor grupo de presión de los transgénicos en España, en el mismo momento de recibir la llamada de Zapatero. Su actual jefe de gabinete, Jorge Barrero, era el secretario general.

Una joven china se gana la vida con los recados que le encargan los internautas

http://www.elperiodico.com/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=46&idioma=CAS&idnoticia_PK=606493&idseccio_PK=1007&h=

Nadie tiene más jefes que Chen Xiao: 220 millones de internautas chinos. La oferta del comercio por la red en China se ha disparado en los últimos años, pero nadie había vendido antes su tiempo. Chen es la versión actualizada de aquellos pioneros, campesinos ambulantes, que 30 años atrás empezaron a levantar sus imperios económicos vendiendo zapatos o remendando medias. La red ha relevado a aquellos caminos polvorientos.
"Estás en tu derecho de disponer de mi vida, y yo tengo la obligación de servirte", aclara su web personal. A cambio de apenas 8 yuanes (9 céntimos de euro) por 8 minutos, 20 yuanes (2,30 euros) por hora o 100 yuanes (11 euros) por un día, acepta cualquier misión. Las tarifas excluyen los gastos de transporte e incluyen una fotografía que da fe del cumplimiento. Su especialidad son los regalos: "Si quieres regalarle algo a alguien, solo necesito una leve descripción para acertar". Trámites administrativos, acudir a fiestas de aniversario mortecinas, fotografiar un parto, cuidar mascotas, entregar comida a domicilio... Chen ha hecho casi de todo. El casi alude a encargos inmorales, ilegales o violentos. Las propuestas deshonestas han sido habituales. Acude con un amigo si el asunto huele mal.
