Kamioka Mozumi Mine This 50′000 ton cylindrical ‘ring-imaging water cerenkov detector’ can be found at the kamioka mozumi mine in japan - 1′000m underground. Clever people built the machine to detect neutrinos, proton decay and cosmic rays: this is done using the 12′000-ish photomultiplier tubes (extremely sensitive light detectors) visible on all walls of the ‘ultra-purified water-filled’ tank.

Lightning Bag Designer / Bookmark Maker Wonsik Chae takes this concept to an elegant level by making the drop-in tea bag light up your environment chemically. For those whose eyes are sensitive to brightness in the mornings, I recommend a different cup. For those who love lamp(s), drop it! As the tea bag empties its taste into a tea cup, so does the “Lighting Bag” empty its light into any fluid-holding container. What Wonsik hopes to accomplish with this project is to tear down the idea that creating forms from which light can be projected must be a difficult task - he wants light forms to flow easily.

Now, whilst the building itself is a beauty, the thing that made me dribble slightly and the thing that no-one seems to have picked up on yet is the phenomenal video wall in the skyscraper’s lobby, built by barco. For that money, you get the following… 1. the largest four-millimeter LED screen in the world, measuring 83.3ft x 25.4ft 2. 10 million pixels mounted in a seamless flat array - that’s 5 times the resolution of high-definition tv 3. an automated control room, home to 27′000 gigabytes of information, six dx-700 led digitizers, seven encore video processors and three matrixpro routers

Concept designs for the future to actual products being used. Pollution Fish Soon, the water in Gijon, a harbor in Northern Spain will be monitored by robotic, battery-powered fish. These mechanical, articulating sea creatures were designed and tested by the Robotics Department at the University of Essex. At a cost of $3.6 million, through a European Union grant, these fish will test the water for oxygen levels, detect oil slicks and other contaminants pumped into the water. This is the first monitoring program of it’s kind, and the retrieved data could be very important, with implications for global warming and the state of our water sources. Researchers at Essex have been testing out their fish prototypes in a special tank at the London Aquarium since 2005. Visitors have been wowed by the incredible ability of the robots to move just like a fish does. As Rory Doyle, a researcher on the project, says, “The design of fish which nature has produced is a very energy-efficient one. The fish’s efficiency is created by hundreds of millions of years’ of evolution. Submarines come nowhere near it.” This efficiency in movement will allow the robot to have a longer battery life and collect more data. The new robot fishes will be about 5 feet long, larger than the prototype version, in order to withstand greater pressures and currents. Each fish will cost about $28,000 to manufacture. At a speed of 1 meter per second, the robot will troll the water collecting data. An on board guidance system will keep them from bumping into obstacles, rocks, fish or ships. They even have a form of sonar that will allow the robots to communicate with each other.

Still, the idea of being able to store your entire kitchen, office and/or bedroom in a simple and movable set of sleek boxes is an attractive one. In short, you could store your entire apartment interior in a mid-sized closet. From a style perspective, these units are relatively simple and modern and supposedly build on a long set of aesthetic traditions. From a space perspective, a surprising amount of storage and functionality are packed into a relatively small unit. Compact but comfortable, you can cook, eat, work and sleep if you collect all three! Bedroom

Stern John has returned to training, despite a bad back, and wants to earn a new contract with Saints. Todays Echo.

Fry on Solent "Deal to buy club moving rapidly forward". And it's not with Pinnacle.

Nothing new http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4472854.Pinnacle_back_in_contention_for_Saints/?ref=rss GM, you knows I loves ya. Oh, and is anyone doing anything at 2pm today....

To find £1,000

My mate this morning said he heard BBC Solent link Roger Federer to the Swiss bank. I laughed at my mate and told him to keep off the drugs. True story, ask Thorpie the sinner.

Just say to him "Buy our club or I kill you", guarantee he surrenders straight away.

No, see #4024

Got it! Richard has joined Begbies from a High Street clearing bank where for the last seven years he has been actively engaged in turnaround case management - both at International multi-bank level and larger UK bi-lateral levels. His experiences and knowledge of banking matters are extremely broad - both UK and International: and includes a strong understanding of the world of financial derivatives and their potential impacts on turnarounds. http://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=richard+fry&d=76310053793481&mkt=en-GB&setlang=en-GB&w=79ab535e,b75eb856 Yey, go me. Press conference at 2pm.................

Found him on google images, and found a "Richard Fry" had been a partner of Griffin Smith Farrington Webb http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:rI0IAySRIgUJ:www.gsfwsolicitors.co.uk/other_6_1.aspx%3FID%3D195%26Title%3DRichard%2BFry%2Bleaves%2Bthe%2BPartnership+richard+fry+griffin&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk

He really wants to join us, just a matter of when.

Found his pic, he has grey hair and a mole on his cheek. http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:tvJeMwkXB4EJ:www.begbies-traynor.com/richard_fry/29+begbies+traynor+richard+fry&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk

Found a link for "begbies traynor richard fry" on google, but it's the one already posted.

Not with us yet.

Because I didn't and I think my mate's either on drugs or he's cracked under the heat.

Anyone hear solent this morning between 8-9?

All truly in the Echo.

Takeover to be completed next week at the earliest.

Also in todays Echo: Marc Jackson has a rescue package should the overseas fail, Jackson spoke with administrators last night. Fialka says "I'm still in the running" (rehash of Jewish Chronicle story) League dismiss Pinnacle claims of scuppering takeover deal. Wotte has just 21 men on his books Michael Svensson to coach for free Current overseas takeover to be completed NEXT WEEK.

"Come on The Echo" Um, isn't The Sun better for this?
