Keeping Up with the Kardashians: Renewed for THREE More Seasons!
Prepare to watch Kim Kardashian cry fake tears over at least a half dozen more divorces, E! viewers, as the network announced today that it has renewed Keeping Up with the Kardashians for three more seasons.
The new deal is worth $40 million for the family, and that figure does NOT include all the revenue Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and kompany will earn by simply Tweeting and pretending to be your pal on Facebook.
The contract also does NOT cover additional seasons of Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami, Kourtney and Kim Take New York or Khloé & Lamar, along with any future spin-offs producers can conjure up (Kris Does Menopause? Kendall Studies For Her Learner's Permit?).
Keeping Up with the Kardashians premieres its next season on May 20, with the only real question remaining:
How much air time will be dedicated to Kim and Kanye West?

DARPA hypersonic glider skin peeled off, says Pentagon
Darpa Hypersonic Glider: The Pentagon has explained why it aborted the DARPA hypersonic glider last year. Apparently, the unmanned craft's skin started to peel off as it reached speeds of Mach 20.?
An unmanned hypersonic glider likely aborted its 13,000 mph (20,920 kph) flight over the Pacific Ocean last summer because unexpectedly large sections of its skin peeled off, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency said Friday.
Skip to next paragraphThe Hypersonic Technology Vehicle-2, launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, atop a rocket and released on Aug. 11, 2011, was part of research aimed at developing super-fast global strike capability for the Department of Defense.
The vehicle demonstrated stable aerodynamically controlled flight at speeds up to 20 times the speed of sound, or Mach 20, for three minutes before a series of upsets caused its autonomous flight safety system to bring it down in the ocean,?DARPA?said in a statement.
A gradual wearing away of the vehicle's skin was expected because of extremely high temperatures, but an independent engineering review board concluded that the most probable cause was "unexpected aeroshell degradation, creating multiple upsets of increasing severity that ultimately activated the Flight Safety System," the statement said.
Initial shockwaves created by the gaps in the skin were more than 100 times what the vehicle was designed to withstand, but it was still able to recover and return to controlled flight, said Kaigham J. Gabriel, DARPA's acting director.
Eventually the upsets grew beyond its ability to recover.
The 2011 flight was the second time an HTV-2 was launched. The first flight, in April 2010, also ended prematurely.
Data from that flight was used to correct aerodynamic design models for the second test, resulting in controlled flight, and now data from the latest flight will be used to adjust assumptions about thermal modeling, Air Force Maj. Chris Schulz, the?DARPA?program manager, said in the statement.
"The result of these findings is a profound advancement in understanding the areas we need to focus on to advance aerothermal structures for future hypersonic vehicles. Only actual flight data could have revealed this to us," he said.
Most specific details of the program are secret.?DARPA?has released artist renderings showing a craft that looks something like the tip of a spear. After the 2011 flight the agency released handheld video, taken aboard a monitoring ship, that showed a dot streaking across the sky.
The HTV-2 would have splashed down in the ocean regardless of the anomaly. The vehicles are intended to be used once and are not recovered.

Successful Internet Marketing Requires The Right Information And ...
As an internet marketer, the number one thing that will help you to succeed online is acquiring the right information and knowledge. There is nothing as important as information itself. Not only will the right information help you to find the right solutions for your online business, but it will also help to better your life as well. If you want to put yourself in a better way of life and enjoy the good things that life has to offer, then gaining the knowledge from valuable sources of information throughout the internet is the way to go.
Internet marketing is all about techniques and strategies and achieving your goals. However, reaching those goals is almost impossible unless you have the right information and resources that will help you to gain further knowledge of online business. Even from the smallest piece of information, it's possible to change everything that your business does. From marketing and sales to keeping up with your list of subscribers.
Of course, acquiring information from the internet is not a hard task, the hard part is finding the right information and actually putting it to good use. So many people who are involved with affiliate and internet marketing waste so much time and energy looking for the easy solutions with marketing online. What they miss out on are the benefits of acquiring the knowledge they need to become successful. Remember, even the smallest piece of knowledge that can be used for your online business, can ultimately make a world of difference.
Why is it that all the information needed is readily available, but most internet marketers will simply ignore it? You might be surprised, but the internet is the main reason. What's the first thing that happens when a new product is launched? Most of the time a product or program offer will go viral before and after its launch. By this time, internet marketers as well as other people will be focusing on this product. It might be something that promises you first page results in the search engines or a fast and easy way to make money online.
It doesn't matter what it is, people will eventually lose track of what they are doing, and their online businesses will end up suffering. Why? It's generally because the new products or programs always promise an easier way to do things. In the end, this changes the way people think about doing business online.
I don't believe that every internet marketer who failed online followed this same example. But, if you take a closer look at what is actually happening, you'll instantly see that this scenario has some merit. It's simply human nature and there's nothing wrong with finding easier ways to accomplish something.
However, when it comes to internet marketing, primary knowledge of your business is the key to your success, not the latest product that promises instant results. Getting the necessary information that you need to better understand how things operate with your?online business should be one of your first goals. Your next goal should actually be to put that knowledge to work for you.
Don't get accustomed to doing nothing with the knowledge that you gain, like so many people end up doing. Achieving the success that you want online is certainly not rocket science, but it does require a process of learning.

How to Make Your Own Wind Chimes
April 6, 2012 6:30 AM

1.) Gather Materials
Round up at least 5 feet of Type M ?-inch copper tubing, seven eye screws, five No. 6 1-inch machine screws and nuts, nylon twine, and 1 x 6 lumber.
2.) Map Pipe Mounts
Center a 4?-inch-diameter circle in a 5?-inch-square cut of lumber. Mark the circle at five equidistant points. Insert eye screws at the circle's center and at all five points.
3.) Cut Pythagoras
Cut five pieces of tubing to the lengths in the table below and deburr. The chime's five notes, which correspond to a piano's black keys, make up the minor pentatonic scale. The notes are pleasing in any order. The ancient Greeks such as Pythagoras were the first to study the link between the length of a vibrating body and the notes of a musical scale.

4.) Tie With Twine
Drill a 5/32-inch hole through each pipe as listed in the table. These hanging points produce the best chime resonance. Insert a machine screw through the hole and fit a nut onto the screw shank. Tie a 7-inch length of twine from the circle of eye screws to the screw shank in each pipe.
5.) Hang the Chime
Use a 2?-inch holesaw to cut a clapper from a 1x scrap. Use more 1x waste to make a V-shaped, 3-inch-long wind scoop. Hang each from the center eye screw. Cut and glue two smaller 1x squares to the top of the first square. Top-center-mount an eye screw in the smallest square. Hang the chime in the breeze and enjoy.

Mail order girls from Russian Federation are straightforward to get married. Were you aware why? Since they don?t like to get hitched with Russian blokes, so they enroll themselves to dating firms with a need to find global men. Free online dating services provide an opportunity for both, dating girls and American guys, who seek for one another over the web. These solutions are different to online dating services. This is because of the fact that they not permit you have a talk with the potential bride, but they also set up a meeting with her. But it is strongly advised that, you should know her well, before spending for the air ticket and accommodation in Russia.

Nikon D4 field review
For better or worse, the actual specifications of the D4 ended up as hardly worth writing home about, with an ISO range mirroring that already seen on the D3S, a megapixel rating lower than that of the cheaper D800 and a battery rated for fewer snaps than the outgoing D3S. All at an MSRP that's starting at $800 above where the D3S started. You'll notice a lot of comparisons throughout this article with the Best Camera of 2009, but that's intentional; yours truly has spent the last 2.5 years using the D3S for business and pleasure, and it's only logical to pit the D4 against a camera that has become molded to many palms here at Engadget HQ. Is the D4 a worthy upgrade? Or even a worthy successor? Let's find out.

Laura Linney To Be Honored at Dallas Film Fest, 'Liberal Arts ...
The final bits of the Dallas International Film Festival, which kicks off next Thursday, have fallen into place. The Thursday opening night film will be Josh Radnor?s follow-up to the grating Happythankyoumoreplease, Liberal Arts, staring Radner, Zac Efron, and Elizabeth Olsen, with producer Claude Dal Farra in attendance on opening night. The Dallas Star Award will be given to Academy Award nominee Laura Linney, who currently co-stars with Dallas Shining Star honoree Gabourey Sidibe in the Showtime comedy The Big C. No, the television show won?t be screened at the fest, but Kenneth Lonergan?s wonderful You Can Count On Me, which stars Linney, will be shown at Angelika on April 21 after an afternoon conversation with the star at the Nasher Sculpture Center.
The festival has also announced two ?Centerpiece? screenings, both films coming off Sundance buzz.?Actor Todd Louis?s third feature as a director, Hello I Must Be Going, stars?Melanie Lynskey?(Win Win,?Up in the Air) and was picked up for distribution by?Oscilloscope at Sundance. The Other Dream Team is a documentary that follows the 1992 Lithuanian national basketball team, which the Hollywood Reporter called a ?rousing document of how one oppressed country reclaimed its identity and won its freedom in large part through its basketball prowess.? Dallas Mavericks president of basketball operations,?Donnie Nelson, appears in the film, apparently because of a long-time relationship with the Lithuanian team, which is a curious-enough side-note to warrant checking out the movie. ?Nelson will be at the screening.
Here?s the full release:
The Dallas International Film Festival presented by
Boardwalk Auto Group Volkswagen Dealers Announces
?
Academy Award Nominee Laura Linney to be Honored
with the Dallas Star Award
?
LIBERAL ARTS Named as Opening Night Film
?
HELLO I MUST BE GOING Named as Saturday Centerpiece
?
THE OTHER DREAM TEAM Named as Thursday Centerpiece
?
Dallas, TX, April 5, 2012 ? The Dallas International Film Festival presented by Boardwalk Auto Group Volkswagen Dealers announced today that three-time Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Laura Linney will be honored with a Dallas Star Award at the Dallas Film Society Honors. Todd Louiso?s HELLO I MUST BE GOING and Marius A. Markevicius? THE OTHER DREAM TEAM will be screened in DIFF?s coveted Saturday and Thursday Centerpiece slots respectively. Also, the previously announced LIBERAL ARTS is confirmed as the Opening Night Gala presentation.
?
With the announcement that Linney will be honored with the Dallas Star Award for the remarkable contribution she has made to modern cinema, the Dallas Film Society Honors presented by the Arthur E. Benjamin Foundation and supported by the Trinity Diversified Film Fund Advisors will bring Linney together with her co-star in ?The Big C? Gabourey Sidibe on April 20, 2012. Linney?s portrayal of characters that have a surface beauty underpinned by deep emotional complexity has won her international acclaim and critical respect in the two decades since her debut in George Miller?s LORENZO?S OIL (1992).? The 1990s saw a steady rise to fame for her through superb performances in PRIMAL FEAR (1996), ABSOLUTE POWER (1997) and as Meryl Burbank and Hannah Gill in the much-loved, THE TRUMAN SHOW (1998).? At the turn of the millennium, Linney earned her first Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal as single mother Sammy Prescott in Kenneth Lonergan?s YOU CAN COUNT ON ME (2000).? Acclaimed performances in THE HOUSE OF MIRTH (2000) and MYSTIC RIVER (2003) were followed by a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nomination for KINSEY (2004) and another Best Actress nod for her role as conflicted sibling Wendy Savage in THE SAVAGES (2007).? In 2008, Linney won the Emmy Award for the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for ?John Adams? and most recently has been nominated for another Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for ?The Big C?. Linney has just finished production on Focus Features? HYDE PARK ON HUDSON which will be released theatrically in December 2012.
?
?Laura Linney is a true star of the stage and screen ? a star whose light shines brighter as each year passes,? said James Faust, artistic director of the Dallas Film Society. ?She is an actress who consistently delivers powerful performances that never fail to bring you into the heart of her character.? She can be raw, vulnerable, powerful, enigmatic, poignant, comedic, dramatic and, at the same time, utterly beautiful.? She personifies what the Dallas Star Award is all about and it is a huge privilege for us all in Dallas to honor her this year.?
?
?A Conversation with Laura Linney? will take place at 11:00 a.m on April 21 at the Nasher Sculpture Center. A screening of YOU CAN COUNT ON ME will follow at 2:45 p.m at the Angelika Film Center in Mockingbird Station.
?
DIFF 2012 will kick off on April 12 with an Opening Night Gala at the historic Majestic Theatre.? Following a red-carpet entrance and a tribute to Cinemark USA?s Lee Roy and Tandy Mitchell, Josh Radnor?s LIBERAL ARTS will be screened to the 1,000-plus guests of Opening Night.? Starring Zac Efron, Elizabeth Olsen, Josh Radnor, Richard Jenkins and Allison Janney, LIBERAL ARTS centers on 30-something Jesse, who falls for a young 19-year old college student when he is invited back to his alma mater.? A hit at Sundance Film Festival, LIBERAL ARTS will provide the perfect tone to launch this year?s festival to the Dallas audience.
?
DIFF also confirmed that the Saturday Centerpiece will be the highly praised comedy HELLO I MUST BE GOING from actor, writer and director Todd Louiso (HIGH FIDELITY (2000); THANK YOU FOR SMOKING (2005)).? The new film, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, stars Melanie Lynskey (WIN WIN (2011); UP IN THE AIR (2009)) as Amy, a recently divorced New York photographer who moves back in with her parents in suburban Connecticut, then shakes up her life by starting an affair with a young actor.? Co-starring Blythe Danner, Christopher Abbott and Julie White, the film had its North American rights snapped up by Oscilloscope Laboratories in preparation for a theatrical release this year.? HELLO I MUST BE GOING will be screened at the Angelika Film Center in Mockingbird Station on Saturday, April 14 at 7:00 p.m.
?
Completing the Centerpiece line-up, THE OTHER DREAM TEAM is a perfect choice for a Dallas spotlight: the incredible story of the 1992 Lithuanian basketball team coached by Donnie Nelson, known now as the general manager of the Dallas Mavericks basketball team.? The Lithuanian athletes struggled under Soviet rule, but they became symbols of Lithuania?s independence movement and against all odds they triumphed at the Barcelona Olympics.? Not since Steve James? HOOP DREAMS has a basketball documentary created such compelling viewing. Members of the original team will join Donnie Nelson and director Markevicius at the Landmark Magnolia Theatre screening on Thursday, April 19 at 7:30 p.m.
?
?We have been tracking all of these three films since we saw them at Sundance in January,? said Sarah Harris, senior programmer for the Dallas Film Society. ?This is one of the many joys of this job ? finding films in their infancy and helping create a buzz through the festival circuit in anticipation of their theatrical release. Screening THE OTHER DREAM TEAM in Dallas with Donnie Nelson in attendance will be a real highlight for anyone with even a hint of interest in sport.? We are thrilled that these three films will join MY WAY as part of our Centerpiece series: each one brings it own unique flavor to the festival and I know that our audience will not be disappointed.?
?
Finally, two additional screenings have been added to the film schedule:
?
BERNIE (USA)
Director: Richard Linklater
In small-town Texas, the local mortician strikes up a friendship with a wealthy widow but when he kills her, he goes to great lengths to create the illusion that she?s alive. Starring Jack Black, Matthew McConaughey and Shirley MacLaine
?
GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS (USA)
Directors: Shana Sosin, Barbara Stepansky, Jennifer Chambers Lynch, Beth Grant, Tracie Laymon, America Young
?
Six filmmakers were awarded $1000 each to make a short film. The filmmakers were given only two rules: it had to be written, directed, produced, shot, and edited by women, and the finished product had to express what ?feminine strength? meant to the filmmakers. GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS is the result of these terrific collaborations, a half a dozen short films that showcase the diverse and unique voices of young female filmmakers from around the country.

New forage plant prepares farmers for climate changes

University of Copenhagen
Sorghum, or durra, is an important forage crop in many countries, for example the USA, Africa, China and Australia.
The plant is grown instead of corn because it produces more biomass and better withstands long periods of drought.
However, when exposed to drought, the sorghum plant produces large amounts of dhurrin, which forms toxic cyanide, i.e. Prussic acid.
Forced to discard crops
Farmers thus face a big dilemma. During a period of drought when they most need food for their animals, they are often forced to discard their sorghum because they do not know how poisonous it is and how much the animals can eat without suffering from cyanide poisoning.
In Australia alone, farmers lose hundreds of millions of dollars each year as a result:
"The fact that the sorghum plant produces large amounts of the natural cyanogenic glycoside dhurrin when exposed to drought is a serious problem for farmers in many parts of the world. Dhurrin breaks down to form toxic cyanide or Prussic acid when an animal eats the plant. So when there is a drought and most need for forage, the farmer can no longer use the crop and it goes to waste," says Professor of Plant Biochemistry at the University of Copenhagen, Birger Lindberg Mller.
New, toxic-free sorghum strain is a breakthrough
Recently, Birger Lindberg Mller and his research group have, in collaboration with, for example, Monash University in Australia, developed a sorghum plant which is unable to produce Prussic acid.
Instead of using genetic engineering, the researchers used plant breeding and advanced biochemical and molecular biological screening methods:
"This is a breakthrough which, globally, can be very important for agriculture, especially in warmer climes where climate change is expected to cause longer and more frequent periods of drought in future. Especially inAfrica, where farmers cannot afford to buy new forage in periods of drought, it is a huge step forwards that they will now be able to feed their animals with sorghum they can grow themselves," says Birger Lindberg Mller.
The University of Copenhagen and Monash University have submitted a patent application.
Facts about new non-toxic sorghum:
Researchers from The University of Copenhagen, Monash University in Australia and the Australian plant breeding company Pacific Seeds have developed the new type of sorghum, or durra as it is also known, which does not produce the toxin dhurrin.
Using a population of tens of thousands of sorghum plants in an open field trial, the researchers analysed their way to finding individual sorghum plants which carried a mutation of just one of the genes involved in producing dhurrin.
Some of these plants are completely unable to form dhurrin, while others only produce it a couple of weeks after the sorghum seed has germinated. Dhurrin is a bioactive natural substance belonging to the group of cyanogenic glycosides.
The researchers used effective biochemical and molecular screening methods developed at The University of Copenhagen.
In the plant, which is unable to form dhurrin, a single amino acid has been changed out of a total of 558 amino acids which make up the enzyme. This single change means that the enzyme is inactive. This plant is now used for the subsequent breeding work. Non-toxic strains of sorghum are expected to be on the market within a few years.
The research results have just been published in the highly esteemed Plant Biotechnology Journal Volume 10, pp. 54-66 (2012) as well as being used as the front page story.

Life Insurance Collateral - Understanding the Basics of Coverage
Life insurance collateral is something that you may or may not be familiar with. Because of all of the various kinds of life insurance, such as motorists life coverage, that are out there, you might find it particularly difficult to determine some of the specifics that come along with them. This includes things such as life insurance collateral. There are a lot of things that you will need to make sure that you keep in mind when you are determining some of the basics that come along with cover and the incidents that will be involved with dealing with it. If you want to know more about this and what kinds of things it might implicate, then you have come to the right place. In learning more about life insurance collateral, you will be able to make a better determination about whether or not getting life insurance by way of life insurance collateral is something that you can look into. In any case, all of the complexities aside, you need to make sure that you know more about this particular kind of coverage so that you are never left with anything that might cause you to miss out on something that you would otherwise be able to capitalize on.
What Collateral Is
Basically speaking, it is something that you can put up against the coverage that you are getting, usually when there are extenuating circumstances that volley outside of what is considered normal in the life insurance field. For instance, if you are older and you get a life insurance policy that is new, you might be asked to put up something as collateral so that if you pass away before a minimum is met, the collaterals can be taken in exchange for the policy face amount.
Alternatively, if you get life insurance and default on your payments while you are still receiving the insurance, the collateral can be taken. This is usually done in situations where you might have bad credit or need to prove to the company that you are dealing with that you have the assets, either monetary or physical, to cover the bill of the coverage that you are being promised. This is one of the most common sets of reasons that people use life insurance collateral rather than just using the policy as it traditionally is used. For the most part, collateral is not a factor in normal policies. However, when situations are different, you might find that it is particularly difficult for you to get a policy that you will not need any kind of collateral for.
How it Works
Basically speaking, when you get a policy and you do not have the credit to back it up, the company might ask you to put something up as life insurance collateral. This will be a pre specified item, usually an asset of some kind. Houses are sometimes use if the policy is large, but vehicles or smaller assets can also be used. That item is held in your possession, though it cannot be traded or sold without exchanging it as collateral with the company and under their express observation to ensure that you are not making a trade that would otherwise be unfair to them. The asset remains in your possession just as normal as long as you do not default on your life payments.
If you were to default, that is when the asset would come into play. If you were to default, the life insurance collateral will then be seized by the company to compensate for the amount of money that you defaulted on or the amount of money that the company is due. Basically speaking, this just means that the company will have to take the item so that your payments will be covered. This does not necessarily mean that you will be able to keep the policy, however. In many situations, the coverage will be terminated when you default, so do not expect to get coverage while defaulting. What is more is that your credit will take a hit. It is important that you never default on your payments for this reason.
Now that you know more about life insurance collateral and how it works, you will be able to determine if you want to get coverage using this technique. Of course, more than likely, you will not need it. However, if you were to need life insurance collateral, then you would know the risks that are involved. As long as you do not default on it, then you should not have any trouble with this particular brand of coverage specification aspect. Just make sure that you check into some of the specifics of this kind of coverage when you are ready to start looking.
