...world's fastest yacht with a single hull is a 140-ft. carbon-fiber wonder. With two 148ft. masts and five sails, the silver-colored Mari-Cha IV, owned by billionaire Robert Miller, can travel at speeds of up to 36 knots, about twice what other boats its size can do. It holds four world records, including the West Marine Pacific Cup, a race from San Francisco to Hawaii, which it won this past July...
...called weak nuclear interaction were a tiny bit stronger or weaker than it is, for example, stars wouldn't blow up in the mammoth supernovas that spread elements like carbon and oxygen out into space--and without those elements, there would be no water and no organic molecules. If the strong nuclear force were just one-half of 1% stronger or weaker, stars could not make carbon or oxygen in the first place. In 1999 Martin Rees postulated that there were "just six numbers" that make life possible, although other theorists have since added several. And because there...

In the year 2000 alone, the number of general drilling permits doled out by the government increased to 5,222. That’s 50 percent higher than the average of the three years...
While in concept the new album is worthy of the Cake name, the songs themselves have lost the power of past albums. The band has adopted a more pop sound that makes the fith track, “Carbon Monoxide,” written about public transportation in L.A., sound like a Green Day creation. Against a setlist of old and new from Cake, their newest tracks brought out power chords that only add to the band’s changing face. The new sound is not only the fault of a bassline-in-hiding and weak hooks...
