SPACE.com -- Astronomers Detect First Split-Second of the Universe: "Scientists announced today new evidence supporting the theory that the infant universe expanded from subatomic to astronomical size in a fraction of a second after its birth.

The finding is based on new results from NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) satellite, launched in 2001 to measure the temperature of radiant heat left over from the Big Bang, which is the theoretical beginning to the universe."

Unmanned Aerial Drones Coming Soon Above U.S.

cnet-declan writes 'Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been flying over Iraq and Afghanistan, but now the Bush administration wants to use them for domestic surveillance. A top Homeland Security official told Congress today, according to this CNET News.com article, that: 'We need additional technology to supplement manned aircraft surveillance and current ground assets to ensure more effective monitoring of United States territory.' One county in North Carolina is already using UAVs to monitor public gatherings. But what happens when lots of relatively dumb drones have to share airspace with aircraft carrying passengers? A pilot's association is worried.'"

Bluffer's guide to uranium enrichment - special report - news - channel4.com

Bluffer's guide to uranium enrichment - special report - news - channel4.com: To do it on an industrial scale to make fuel for a nuclear reactor, around 3000 centrifuges are needed.

For reactor fuel, the gas needs to be enriched to about 3 per cent-5 per cent; this is called Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) or sometimes reactor-grade uranium.

For a nuclear bomb, it needs to be enriched to around 90 per cent. That's called Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) and sometimes weapons-grade uranium

This is what the Iranians are doing at Natanz. There, they have a pilot plant, which they plan to fit with around 1,000 centrifuges. It's unclear how many have been assembled and connected up, but Iran has been testing 20, according the latest IAEA report. They need to test them: centrifuges are temperamental machines.

Can a company force you to work overtime?

Can a company force you to work overtime?: "Also, the law only applies to hourly workers, so anyone who is paid a salary can be asked to work as many hours as needed. Executive, administrative, and managerial positions are usually salaried. As the Seattle Times notes, professional salaried jobs have grown in the past few decades. About 50 million Americans aren't eligible for overtime, so salaried employees are working longer hours without compensation. In many corporate cultures, it's an expected part of the job."
