Under the Hood With Knight Rider 2.0: Trans Am vs. Ford Mustang ...

Ford may be paying dearly to have one of their worst cars that they offer become a house hold name with the children that watch this revised tv series, but I for one think it is a horrible joke. I won't watch a single episode. It was a G.M. vehicle in the beginning and it should stay a G.M. vehicle today. They plan on using computer animation for basically every screen shot of the mustang in motion, but only because they cannot risk going beyond episode production deadlines due to the fact that this mustang obviously won't run correctly at any given moment. The factory recalls DO NOT LIE! So, since this is the case and knowing that the camaro nor trans-am are not in production as of yet, why not use computer animation showing at least the new camaro as K.I.T.T.??? But I guess money talks, so Ford actually got their way.

RBS takes prize for biggest takeover deal of the year

Another Edinburgh institution that found new owners was Radio Forth, with former owner Emap flogging it for £1.14bn as part of a sale of its consumer magazine and radio assets to German media group Bauer.In October, Cairn Energy, the Edinburgh-based oil and gas explorer, announced a surprise sale of its Bangladeshi operations in a deal worth up to £34m, as part of its focus on its core exploration activities. Smaller Edinburgh firms also struck deals, with JRG Financial sold to the national Cavanagh Group for £5.3m. Sir David Murray sold his Apollo Metals arm to German giant ThyssemKrupp for an undisclosed fee.However, it was RBS that grabbed the takeover limelight in 2007. Apart from raking in £4.2bn from the sale of Southern Water to a joint venture between JP Morgan and Australian infrastructure fund Challenger, the bank saw off intense competition from Barclays in a six-month battle for the flagship takeover of 2007: the £49.1bn consortium buyout of Dutch bank ABN Amro by RBS, Santander and Fortis.The triumph by RBS chief executive Sir Fred Goodwin marked the world's biggest banking takeover, and easily the largest completed deal of the year.Sir Fred was accused of overpaying for ABN.

Nobel Intent

The final symposium I attended on Sunday before heading to the airport was a real brain bender. Titled "Nuclear physics: New answers, new questions about the visible universe." The talks spanned both theoretical and experimental aspects of the field—this article will focus on the theoretical lectures, a second article will cover the experimental discussions. The first speaker, Dr. Don Geesaman, eloquently stated the goals of the field: "the mission in nuclear physics is to understand the origin, evolution, and structure of baryonic matter in the universe—the matter that makes up stars, planets, and human life itself."

All of the talks, both experimental and theoretical focused on hadrons, their substituent quarks, and the forces that hold them together. Hadrons are strongly interacting subatomic particles that are composed of quarks.

Aussies laugh it off after their ship sinks

The Australians have been flown to Punta Arenas, southern Chile, and given food and clothing. Mr Christopher's sister, Ann Davies, said her brother, a long-time adventurer, was in high spirits. "He's well and was having a laugh about it on the phone," Mrs Davies said. "He's got quite a sense of humour." Mr Christopher told his sister the evacuation was orderly, though some passengers panicked. "They had plenty of time to get off the ship," Mrs Davies said. "It was very orderly. He would have been quite calm and probably assisting other people." The Chilean military was also ultimately involved in the rescue, ferrying 84 survivors to its Eduardo Frei Airbase on King George Island and another 70 to Uruguay's nearby Artigas military base. Mr Christopher, 53, a father of two from Melbourne and a former Korumburra dairy farmer, and Ms Frappell, in her 40s, had begun a 12-month round-the-world adventure holiday in September, but they now face a delay.
