House repeals "Don’t ask, Don’t tell"

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5grHLcTA5VMaxM1KPtvrf3OTOfZuQD9… The House has voted to repeal the 1993 law known as “don't ask, don't tell” and allow gays to serve openly in the military. The House vote Thursday came several hours after the Senate Armed Services Committee took the same course and approved a measure repealing the policy that prohibits service by gays who openly acknowledge their sexual orientation. The House was a victory for President Barack Obama, who has pushed for a change in military policy, and for gay rights group who have made an end to “don't ask, don't tell” their top legislative priority. Republicans voted overwhelmingly against lifting the ban, saying Congress should wait until the Pentagon completes a review of the impact of a repeal on military life and readiness. added by: SageRockandRoll

How "Green" Is Gaming?

April 22 is Earth Day, 24 hours devoted to considering the impact we have on the natural world and (hopefully) improving our relationship with the planet. It might seem like gaming is low-impact in terms of the environment — after all, you’re just sitting there staring at a screen as opposed to burning tires or releasing mercury into the water supply — but the video game industry does have an effect on the planet. Gamepro recently looked into it and compiled and interesting and/or enlightening article on the impact video games have on Nature. Among the big three consoles, Nintendo’s Wii uses the least power, but, overall, Nintendo has the lowest rating in eco-friendliness among game system manufacturers, according to a Greenpeace report published in January. This isn’t to say Microsoft and Sony are eco-warriors. In the list of consumer electronic manufacturers, Microsoft was second-to-worst and Sony was in the middle of the pack. While the video game industry

Nasa prepares moon smashing satellite

As Britain tucks into its lunch on Friday, hundreds of scientists, engineers and astronomers on the other side of the planet will be nervously watching the skies. Across California and Hawaii, hundreds of eyes will be trained on the moon, watching for the moment when a hi-tech orbiter – weighing more than 2 tonnes and travelling at 5,600mph – plunges headlong into the lunar surface. The collision will throw a massive cloud of dust and debris up into space before, just a few minutes later, another, smaller, spacecraft follows suit and plummets to its doom.

Susan Boyle Calls Overnight Fame A "Demolition Ball"

In a recent interview for broadcast on Wednesday morning’s Today Show, Susan Boyle calls the impact of her overnight success like that of a demolition ball. The Britain’s Got Talent finalist was plucked from relative obscurity, made over and attracted worldwide attention.  Soon after the finale, she was admitted to a hospital for exhaustion. The “demolition ball” must have knocked her around a bit! Says Susan: “I guess I had to get my head around it, but through the guidance of a good team, and they are very good, I was able to see that in perspective and really turn that around  little.” Boyle has since recovered and is at work on a new record with Simon Cowell, who has supported her throughout the ups and downs of her ordeal.  Read more: Simon Cowell is in the money! Boyle back in action!
