Update 10/10/2011 EU delays debt crisis summit to October 23 Source google

BRUSSELS — The European Union is delaying a summit by almost a week to October 23 to give leaders more time to polish their response to the eurozone debt crisis, the EU’s president said on Monday.

The summit was originally scheduled to take place over two days in Brussels on October 17-18, but the eurozone has yet to implement a Greek rescue package agreed in July and officials are now working on plans to shore up banks.

Don’t fire up your spaceship’s FTL drive just yet, folks. Those neutrinos that CERN scientists thought they saw traveling faster than the speed of light a few weeks ago look like they may have only been moving at close to light speed.

Update:  9/29/2011 Faster than the speed of light Source: The Economist

IN 1887 physicists were feeling pretty smug about their subject. They thought they understood reality well, and that the future would just be one of ever more precise measurements. They could not have been more wrong. The next three decades turned physics on its head, with the discovery of electrons, atomic nuclei, radioactivity, quantum theory and the theory of relativity. But the grit in the pearl for all this was a strange observation made that year by two researchers called Albert Michelson and Edward Morley that the speed of light was constant, no matter how fast the observer was travelling.

Diablo III game

Blizzard Entertainment said that the company’s planned release date for its Diablo III game “will be moving in early 2012,” implying a delay.

Update: 9/29/2011 First Challenge to FCC Net Neutrality: Is Splitting Hairs Legal? Source readwriteweb

Last week’s issuance by the Federal Communications Commission of rules to protect what some still call “net neutrality” was destined to be legally challenged by someone, on some grounds – that’s the nature of regulatory government. (In a pre-emptive strike, Verizon filed its challenge last January.) But in the first of what will probably be several challenges since the order, the advocacy group Free Press makes one and only one argument.

NASA now says the final resting place of its UARS satellite is a remote part of the South Pacific, halfway between Australia and Hawaii, perhaps closest to what used to be called Christmas Island in the island nation of Kiribati. The satellite fell to Earth just after midnight, EDT on Saturday morning, after days in which scientists speculated — and engaged in some gallows humor — over where it would come down.
