158 Passengers Killed due to Sleep Pilot

Pilot in Air India Express flight from Dubai to Mangalore, southern India, was blamed for the accident that killed 158 people in May 2010.

The Indian government investigation results prove, the pilot of the Serbian named Zlatko Glusica was disoriented because of falling asleep on a flight for 3-4 hours, the Hindustan Times reported on Wednesday (11/17/2010).

Indian Government officials who do not want to be named confirmed the reports Hindustan Times. However, these officials said, reports the results will be announced after the investigation was submitted to the parliament of India.

Investigation team said the pilot Glusica too late to react and not follow some standard operating procedure when landing. Meanwhile, the airlines do not provide feedback about these findings.

Indian Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel told reporters that the ministry admitted it had received reports about it on Tuesday (11/16/2010). He said the government would take action after studying the report.

Incidents in Mangalore is the worst plane crash in India since November 1996. At that time, 349 people died in a plane owned by Saudi Arabian airline collided in the air of New Delhi with a cargo plane from Kazakhstan.

This report adds to concerns around the world about the dangers of pilots that work fatigue due to heavy work schedule.

New Black Hole Discovered by Astronomy Experts

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An explosion at a star 30 years ago in nearby galaxies suspected of creating a new black hole, astronomers reported on Monday.

The observations made by infrared rays say supernova, dubbed SN 1979C is a black hole is formed, said a team of astronomers from the United States and Europe.

"If our assumptions are correct, it is the closest example for observation of the creation of a black hole," said an expert from the Harvard-Smithsonian Astrophysics Center in Massachusetts, Daniel Patnaude, who led the study.

An amateur astronomer from Maryland, Gus Johnson, discovered a supernova in 1979 on the edge of a galaxy called M100, and other astronomers examine it after its discovery. Light and infrared rays from the fragments has taken over the past 50 million years to get to the earth with the light speed of 300,000 miles per second, or about 10 trillion miles per year.

Observation Center for NASA's Chandra Infra Rays, the European Space Agency XMM-Newton, and the Center of the German Rosat Observations have seen that it emits infrared rays stable source of light.

Infrared ray analysis supports the idea that the observed object is a black hole and it also will draw in the object that fell from a supernova or perhaps from a binary star, astronomers said.

The scientists believe that black holes can be created in several ways, in this case because a star which is about 20 times the mass of the Sun which will become a supernova and then explodes into some solid things that suck objects around them into the core of the black hole .

American Design Two 20 Petaflop Supercomputer

The engineers in America do not want to stay silent supercomputers from Uncle Sam's country defeated China. Two supercomputers are being built in America today claimed would result in performance far above the ability of the world's fastest supercomputer made in China today.

Two supercomputer being designed by engineers in the United States designed capable of doing 20 petaflop (20 trillion calculations / calculations per second). Speed would be far above the Tianhe-1, the name of China's supercomputer that perched on the top 500 list of fastest computers today with a performance of up to 2.57 petaflop.

One of the supercomputer built at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the same location as the Jaguar supercomputer which ranked as two of the world today. The second supercomputer built at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory by IBM. However, both systems are estimated to be completed in 2012.

In the Top 500 list has just been released, China is not only recorded the fastest supercomputers, but also include 42 supercomputers in it beyond the developed countries like Japan, Germany, and England. America still dominates with 275 of the 500 supercomputers on the list.

The new Intel processor is still the choice of most supercomputers. From 500, 398 using a series of Intel processors. While AMD's only used 57 supercomputers. Most of the included Chinese-made and still use the chip American companies, including such artificial support Nvidia GPU.

Tiger Merapi Hovering in Village

Tigers from the slopes of Mount Merapi seen wandering Karanganyar Hamlet, Village Ngargomulyo, Shaman District, Magelang regency, Central Java, since two nights ago.

"It's been two nights in a row we know there are signs of leopard presence in our village," said Chief Hamlet Karanganyar, Thursday (47) in Magelang, Monday.

He claimed to ensure animal sounds on Thursday (13/11) and Friday (14/11) night was a tiger.

In fact, he says, on Thursday (13/11) night he had shined the flashlight to a tiger in a corral near the local people when he was patrolling.

Most of the local villagers, about six miles west of the summit of Mount Merapi was until recently still in the various refugee camps to avoid casualties due to subsequent volcanic eruption on the border between Central Java, Yogyakarta Special Region.

He said the number of local residents as much as 45 heads of families or 130 souls. During an eruption of Merapi, since October 26, 2010 to the present, about 10 residents, especially men still persist at the local hamlet, while others, especially women, children, and elderly people are in refugee camps especially in Muntilan.

"I know exactly if it is a tiger, there tutulnya, about the size of a goat," he said.

When he highlighted the tiger it with a flashlight, he said, the beast and then walked slowly left the corral local residents. "We do not interfere with the important principle," he said.

He said that on Friday (14/11) night Mooo tiger was heard a number of local residents.

"But that Friday (14/11) evening, we were not close to that sound, only heard his voice, but we make sure it is a tiger," he said.

He claimed to be able to distinguish between "Mooo tiger with other animals.

Possibility, he said, in the region higher than the local hamlet, tiger was not getting food because the impact of the eruption of Merapi. "So the beast down to our village," he said.

About two months before the first eruption of Merapi (26/10) evening, he said, he also saw a leopard roaming the local agricultural area.

Other local residents, Surandi (70), admitted, heard groans tiger on Friday (14/11) night.

"That night, we were on guard in the village sengja not approach the sound source, but it is the voice of the tiger," he said.
