VP residence no longer pixelated


VP Cheney had the USGS pixelate the images of the veep residence that they sent to google maps. Cheney must be the most paranoid person ever to take office. How can you be that paranoid and be in public office?

‘Immortal’ jellyfish swarming across the world
The Turritopsis Nutricula
is able to revert back to a juvenile form once it mates after becoming sexually mature.
Marine biologists say the jellyfish numbers are rocketing because they need not die.
Dr Maria Miglietta of the Smithsonian Tropical Marine Institute said: “We are looking at a worldwide silent invasion.”
The jellyfish are originally from the Caribbean but have spready all over the world.
Turritopsis Nutricula is technically known as a hydrozoan and is the only known animal that is capable of reverting completely to its younger self.
It does this through the cell development process of transdifferentiation.
Scientists believe the cycle can repeat indefinitely, rendering it potentially immortal.
While most members of the jellyfish family usually die after propagating, the Turritopsis nutricula has developed the unique ability to return to a polyp state.
Having stumbled upon the font of eternal youth, this tiny creature which is just 5mm long is the focus of many intricate studies by marine biologists and geneticists to see exactly how it manages to literally reverse its aging process.
Wow! Just imagine the possibilities.

LoveTrainer
Dr. Itami (pictured not training for love) and Sega Toys have repackaged their MP3 player and heart rate monitor with verbal coaching as, get this, the Love Trainer. No seriously, the company that brought you the iDog is now pushing the already questionable workout companion as a “unisex sex enhancer.” Phrases like “please exercise a little bit harder” have been changed to a breathy, “Following the beat, make love much harder!”

Marine scout snipers providing anti-pirate protection
The nine-member sniper team brings multiple capabilities to CTF 151, including its ability to operate from an aerial platform with a variety of different weapons systems. The scout snipers use a Mk-11, which is the 762 sniper rifle; a 50-caliber M107 special application scoped rifle (SASR); and several different sets of optics to aid them in carrying out their mission.
“We have the ability to stand off of a target, visually see what is on the target and report that information to the VBSS teams so they understand — before they’re boarding — the number of personnel, if there are any weapons on board, if there are any type of foulings on the deck, if their hook point is obtainable, and, basically, give them a warm and fuzzy feeling that they’re not out alone out here, that they have snipers watching over them 100 percent of the time,†explained Benkie.

5 Horrific Serial Killers (Who Are Free Right Now)
#2 Pedro Lopez
From:
Colombia
Why You Don’t Want to Meet Him:
Here’s everything you need to know about South American serial killer Pedro Lopez: when he confessed his crimes to police, they refused to believe him. They listened to him tell his story, glanced at each other and said, “Oh, bullshit. Get outta here.”Then, a flash flood uncovered a grave containing Lopez’s victims. A mass grave.
Lopez had killed over 300 girls in Peru, Colombia and Ecuador. Authorities put him in prison in Ecuador and then explored ways to attach the entire prison to a rocket and fire it into the sun.
Why You Might Meet Him Anyway:
It turns out Ecuador has no death penalty, so Pedro, who has served the maximum sentence of 20 years, was secretly released in Colombia in 1999. So he served about three weeks for each person he killed. That seems fair.
So Where Is He Now?
Two possibilities. He can be in Ecuador, the place where he killed the most victims (an average of three per week). In his own words: “I like the girls in Ecuador, they are more gentle and trusting, more innocent”.
But, seeing as he is pursued by InterPol over a recent 2002 murder, there is one more possibility. A country where Latino immigrants have been making their way for years, a place where a such a man can basically disappear among his own people, and find employment. We’re not going to come out and say that Pedro Lopez is hiding out in America, or that he could be doing work around your neighborhood at this very moment. But he totally might.

Teleportation Milestone Achieved
Scientists have come a bit closer to achieving the “Star Trek” feat of teleportation. No one is galaxy-hopping, or even beaming people around, but for the first time, information has been teleported between two separate atoms across a distance of a meter — about a yard.
This is a significant milestone in a field known as quantum information processing, said Christopher Monroe of the Joint Quantum Institute at the University of Maryland, who led the effort.
Teleportation is one of nature’s most mysterious forms of transport: Quantum information, such as the spin of a particle or the polarization of a photon, is transferred from one place to another, without traveling through any physical medium. It has previously been achieved between photons (a unit, or quantum, of electromagnetic radiation, such as light) over very large distances, between photons and ensembles of atoms, and between two nearby atoms through the intermediary action of a third.
None of those, however, provides a feasible means of holding and managing quantum information over long distances.
Now the JQI team, along with colleagues at the University of Michigan, has succeeded in teleporting a quantum state directly from one atom to another over a meter. That capability is necessary for workable quantum information systems because they will require memory storage at both the sending and receiving ends of the transmission.
Live Science
I had to decide whether I would continue after reading “…teleported between two separate atoms across a distance of a meter — about a yard“. I’m reading about the possibility of teleportation and the author decided that the fact that 1 meter ~= 1 yard was something to be clarified. Really?

The Spray On Condom
German sexual health teacher Jan Vinzenz Krause has created the world’s first spray-on condom.
Using simple items he bought from a hardware store and a little liquid latex, Krause designed a contraption that will spray a condom on, giving the user a custom fit and a more natural feel. On creating the Jolly Joe he says, “I felt a little like MacGyver.â€
It works like a car wash. The user inserts their member into a plastic tube that spray liquid latex from all directions.
