When a team of Ohio State students worked around the clock for nine days straight recently, they weren’t pulling the typical college “all-nighters.” Instead, they were reaching a milestone in clean coal technology. For 203 continuous hours, they operated a scaled-down version of a power plant combustion system with a unique experimental design–one that chemically converts coal to heat while capturing 99 percent of the carbon dioxide produced in the reaction. This new technology, [...] by Michael China is wiping the floor with the United States on the global economic stage, and most Americans are so clueless that they have absolutely no idea what is happening. The number one global economic superpower is in anadvanced state of decline, and the number two global economic superpower is becoming stronger with each passing day. Unless something truly dramatic happens, it is only a matter of time before China overtakes [...] SACRAMENTO, Calif. — State demographers say California’s Hispanic population will equal that of whites within six months and exceed it early next year — a milestone in the country’s racial and ethnic shifts. Population projections released Thursday by the state Department of Finance show that Hispanics will become the dominant ethnic group in California for the first time.

The world’s seemingly relentless march toward overpopulation achieved a notable milestone in 2012: Somewhere on the planet, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the 7 billionth living person came into existence. Lucky No. 7,000,000,000 probably celebrated his or her birthday sometime in March and added to a population that’s already stressing the planet’s limited supplies of food, energy, and clean water. Should this trend continue, as the Los Angeles Times noted in afive-part series marking the [...] Intelligence officials: Iran has nearly finished a nuclear enrichment plant The installation of the last centrifuges at Fordo represents a milestone for the Iranians that the Obama administration hoped to avoid. In September 2009, Mr. Obama, along with the leaders of Britain and France, revealed the existence of the site, in an effort to galvanize international efforts to stop Iran’s program. His top national security aides predicted that the public exposure [...] Zero Hedge November 16, 2011 was a historic date: that’s when the US officially surpassed $15 trillion in debt for the first time since World War 2. We celebrated it by cheering $15,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOOBAMA. Today, August 28, 2012, is when we can unofficially celebrate again, because 286 days after the last major milestone was surpassed with disturbing ease, total US debt following today’s $35 billion auction of 2 Year bonds is, well, [...] The US Food and Drug Administration has approved an ingestible digital sensorthat can be swallowed in a pill to track health data from inside the body. The idea is that the data can be used not only by patients themselves, but also by caregivers and doctors to individualize their care. The ingestible sensor, formerly known as the Ingestion Event Marker or IEM, is already approved for use in Europe. It is the first [...] General Motors‘ profits fell 41% in the second quarter as troubles in Europe undercut strong sales in North America. America’s largest automaker made $1.5bn in the second quarter of 2012, compared with $2.5bn for the same period last year. Revenue fell to $37.6bn from $39.4bn in the second quarter of 2011. The results exceeded analysts’ estimates, but further underlined Europe’s drag on the US economy. “Our results in North America were solid, but [...] China will next year attempt to land an exploratory craft on the moon for the first time, state media reported, in the latest project in the country’s ambitious space programme. China’s third lunar probe will blast off in the second half of 2013, the state Xinhua news agency reported late on Monday. Other reports said it would land and transmit back a survey of the moon’s surface. If successful, the landing would [...] Spain Has Its ‘Let Them Eat Cake’ Moment 13 July 2012 Technically the pampered Spanish princess said, ‘screw them all’ rather than ‘let them eat cake.’ She is only saying what most of the Western elite are thinking about ‘the problem of the hoi polloi.’ After the brazen theft of customer money by a well-connected financier, I said I was waiting for another shoe to drop, another milestone to be [...] WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration has approved the first drug shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection, a milestone in the 30-year battle against the virus that causes AIDS. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/48198452/ns/today-today_health/t/fda-approves-first-pill-help-prevent-hiv/#.UARZoEWe6CN Spain Has Its ‘Let Them Eat Cake’ Moment 13 July 2012 Technically the pampered Spanish princess said, ‘screw them all’ rather than ‘let them eat cake.’ She is only saying what most of the Western elite are thinking about ‘the problem of the hoi polloi.’ After the brazen theft of customer money by a well-connected financier, I said I was waiting for another shoe to drop, another milestone to be [...] It is increasingly apparent what the economy will look like when President Obama faces voters in November: pretty much what it looks like today. And that picture, a report from the Labor Department made clear on Friday, is far from the booming job growth that prevailed only a few months ago. In June, the economy added a meager 80,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate remained at 8.2 percent. Early this year, optimists buzzed that [...] Aimee Copeland could be out of intensive care in two to three weeks, a milestone in her long road to recovering from the horrible flesh-eating infection that forced doctors to amputate her leg, her foot and both hands. Doctors on Tuesday also upgraded the 24-year-old graduate student’s condition from critical to serious, indicating she continues to improve after necrotizing fasciitis nearly took her life. On the same day, Lana Kuykendall, the new [...] Brothers Vern and Tom McDonnell chose to quietly celebrate their 101st birthday on May 15, with just family and friends at the Philip Nursing Home. “Tom said that last year pooped him out,” Vern’s daughter-in-law, Terry Jo McDonnell, said of last year’s birthday party at the family ranch north of Quinn. This year’s birthday party, however, was noteworthy for other reasons. The online encyclopedia Wikipedia lists the twins as the oldest living set [...] WASHINGTON — After years of speculation, estimates and projections, the Census Bureau has made it official: White births are no longer a majority in the United States. The New York Times Non-Hispanic whites accounted for 49.6 percent of all births in the 12-month period that ended last July, according to Census Bureau data made public on Thursday, while minorities — including Hispanics, blacks, Asians and those of mixed race — reached 50.4 percent, representing [...] cienceDaily (May 9, 2012) — A detailed description of development of the first practical artificial leaf — a milestone in the drive for sustainable energy that mimics the process, photosynthesis, that green plants use to convert water and sunlight into energy — appears in the ACS journal Accounts of Chemical Research. The article notes that unlike earlier devices, which used costly ingredients, the new device is made from inexpensive materials and employs [...] From The Dynamic Dividend: Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) announced a 7% increase to its dividend today, marking the 50th consecutive year the health care giant has given its shareholders a raise. Johnson & Johnson declared a quarterly dividend of $0.61 per share, topping the $0.57 per share it had paid each of the previous four quarters. While J&J has improved its dividend output every year dating back to… Read full article… From Azizonomics: There is a widely-held notion on the political left that the key economic problem our civilisation faces is income inequality. To wit: “America emerged from the Great Depression and the Second World War with a much more equal distribution of income than it had in the 1920s; our society became middle-class in a way it hadn’t been before. This new, more equal society persisted for 30 years. But then we began [...] From Newsmax: The price of natural gas has dropped below $2 for the first time in more than a decade. A mild winter and production boom has left the U.S. with more natural gas than Americans can consume. Storage facilities are quickly filling up. The glut has pushed down the futures price of gas 59% since it peaked at $4.85 last summer. On Wednesday afternoon, the futures price passed a milestone. Gas fell [...] Internet Explorer has been top browser since 1999 Google’s Chrome became the world’s top internet browser for one day on Sunday, pushing Internet Explorer into second place for the first time.

Carney: The President is focused on [...] NEW YORK (AP) – Apple is holding an event Wednesday in San Francisco, and has hinted that it will reveal a new iPad model. Rumors speak of an updated tablet with a speedier processor, a sharper screen and an option for faster wireless broadband access. If last year’s launch of the iPad 2 is any guide, the new iPad model will go on sale in the U.S. next week, likely on [...] By Christina Rexrode, AP Business Writers | Associated Press Big, round numbers are hard to ignore. That’s why we pay attention when the odometer clicks over to 100,000 miles, and why the world threw a party at the dawn of 2000 instead of the technical start of the millennium in 2001. It’s no different on Wall Street. When the Dow Jones industrial average briefly crossed 13,000 this week, a milestone it hadn’t reached since before the financial [...] |
