Tech News:What Mattered in Energy Innovation This Year -2012
Workers drill for shale gas in Pennsylvania. The emergence of access
to shale gas in the U.S.—and the low natural gas prices that
followed—has created an extra hurdle for renewables.
Although renewable energy made impressive advances this year, its
impact has been dwarfed by the changes caused by the surplus of cheap,
abundant natural gas made possible by hydrofracturing—fracking—of
shale deposits. It will also be hard for renewables to equal the
impact of shale gas in the coming years.
As utilities shift electricity production from coal plants to natural
gas ones, carbon dioxide emissions have dropped to levels not seen for
20 years. In China, the government has set ambitious goals to scale up
fracking and shale gas production there as well.
Similar drilling technology has led to a surge of oil production in
the United States that could have it rivaling the production of oil in
Saudi Arabia. It's led to credible estimates that within a couple of
decades—with the help of rigorous fuel economy standards—North America
could produce as much energy as it consumes.
Shale gas is having a major impact on renewable sources of energy as
well. For example, as a result of cheap natural gas, some companies
that had been founded to produce biofuels from renewable sources—and
entrepreneurs who had dedicated much of their lives to developing such
technologies—have given up and turned instead to making fuels with
natural gas. At the same time, cheap natural gas has made it far more
difficult for renewable sources of energy to compete.
Meanwhile, the prospects for solar, wind, biofuels, and advanced
vehicles took a decidedly bearish turn this year.
Solar companies went bankrupt left and right. Electric vehicles sales
were less than expected and A123, a once-promising advanced battery
company, declared bankruptcy and was auctioned off at a fraction of
the amount that had been invested in it.
Yet incremental progress is being made. Hybrid vehicle technology is
now often profitable. There have also been some developments in
improving internal combustion engines. Efficient internal combustion
engines could be cheaper than batteries and electric motors, and so
work their way into mainstream sales faster than electric vehicles,
having a bigger impact on fossil fuel consumption over the next
decade.

Sachin Tendulkar retires from ODIs: first and last Match with Pakistan all records in ODIs
illustrious career in the 50-over format, having played 463 ODIs,
scored 18,426 runs and made 49 centuries, each of them a world record.
His last ODI was against Pakistan in Dhaka during the Asia Cup, where
he made a half-century in India's victory.
"I have decided to retire from the One Day format of the game," he
said in a statement. "I feel blessed to have fulfilled the dream of
being part of a World Cup winning Indian team. The preparatory process
to defend the World Cup in 2015 should begin early and in right
earnest. I would like to wish the team all the very best for the
future. I am eternally grateful to all my well wishers for their
unconditional support and love over the years."
Tendulkar made his ODI debut on his first international tour, in 1989,
against Pakistan in Gujranwala, where he got a duck. He scored his
first half-century in his ninth ODI and made an immediate impact when
promoted to open the batting in 1994, in an ODI against New Zealand in
Auckland, where he smashed 82 in 49 balls. His first century took 79
ODIs to arrive but he kept piling them on with remarkable consistency.

Movie News: 'Dabangg 2' Collections on the first day
He further says that the film's first day's business is not likely to cross Ek Tha Tiger's collection on the opening day, "#Dabangg2 1st day will be lower than #EkThaTiger 1st day [15 Aug holiday]. ETT Day 2 was much lower [14.55 cr], since it was a working day."
The year 2012 has proved to be a good year for Salman Khan's film career. He has already given a superhit in the form of 'Ek Tha Tiger', 'Son of Sardaar', in which he did a cameo, also became a superhit.
Before the release of 'Dabangg 2', trade experts were predicting that the film will achieve good commercial success. It won't take more than one week to figure out whether the film has proved those experts right or wrong.

All about Who was Srinivasa Ramanujan?
Celebrating Srinivasa Ramanujan's 125th birthday, Google posted a doodle on its homepage. The doodle features a boy trying to solve some mathematical equations and geometrical figures, which form the letters of the word 'Google'. But who was Srinivasa Ramanujan?
Born on 22 December 1887, Srinivasa Ramanujan was an Indian mathematician who made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. He was an autodidact. Living in India with no access to the larger mathematical community, Srinivasa Ramanujan came up with his own mathematical research in isolation.
Ramanujan was born in a poor Hindu Brahmin family. His introduction to formal mathematics began at age 10. He demonstrated a natural ability. By the age of 12, he mastered books on advanced trigonometry written by S. L. Loney. Ramanujan discovered theorems of his own.
On 14 July 1909, Ramanujan got married to Janaki Ammal, a ten-year old bride.
In 1912-1913, he sent out samples of his theorems to three academics at the University of Cambridge. His brilliance was recgonised and he was invited to visit and work at Cambridge. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.
On 26 April 1920, Ramanujan died of illness, malnutrition, and possibly liver infection at the age of 32.
In December 2011, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh declared 2012 as the 'National Mathematical year' as a tribute to maths wizard Srinivasa Ramanujan. Singh also declared December 22, the birthday of Ramanujan, as 'National Mathematics Day.'
"A genius like Ramanujan would shine bright even in the most adverse of circumstances, but we should be geared to encourage and nurture good talent which may not be of the same calibre as that of Ramanujan", Singh had once said.
It is believed that a biography of Ramanujan named "The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan," written by Professor Robert Kanigel has made Ramanujan well known to the public at large all over the world.
Along with CV Raman and Subramanyam Chandrashekhar (both Nobel laureates), Srinivasa Ramanujan is said to be among the three great men of science and mathematics that Tamil Nadu and India have given to the world of modern times.
Sharing his thoughts on Srinivasa Ramanujan, the great mathematician, after whom the year was named as the National Year of Mathematics, Dr Kalam said, "Ramanujan lived for 33 years only. But he was an exceptional mathematician."

Music:'Gangnam Style' is Collins dictionary's word of the year
After becoming the most-watched video ever on YouTube, Korean singer Psy's pop sensation "Gangnam Style" has now booked a place in popular culture with recognition from a renowned British dictionary.
"Gangnam Style" has been named among the Collins dictionary's words of the year along with "mummy porn", "fiscal cliff" and "Romneyshambles". Psy's song was the dictionary's word for November - when his horse dance video became YouTube's most popular clip, 'Mirror News' reported.
"Mummy porn" became April's word of the year as the erotic novel 'Fifty Shades of Grey' was published during that month and became an instant bestseller. Defeated presidential candidate Mitt Romney made in it July after critics branded his visit to London a "Romneyshambles".
"Jubilympics" was June's word, while "Games Makers" was August's due to the volunteers who made the Olympic event in UK a success. Each word was submitted by the public to the on-line dictionary at www.collinsdictionary.com/submission.
However, the publishers said not all 12 words had the staying power to make it to the print edition. "We are astounded by how quickly new trends form. Choosing one word for 2012 didn't match the pace of change," Ian Brookes, consulting editor at Collins, said.
"Choosing just one word for 2012 didn't match the pace at which our language is changing, so we selected one popular word to represent each month from the whole range of those submitted," he said.
Words that made it the dictionary this year are 'Broga' for January, 'Legbomb' in February, 'Eurogeddon' (March), 'Mummy Porn' (April), 'Zuckered' for May. 'Jubilympics' was word of the year for June, 'Romneyshambles' for July, 'Games Makers' for August, '47 per cent' in September, 'Superstorm' (October), 'Gangnam Style' for November and 'Fiscal cliff' for December.

Internet NEWS:30-Year-Old Man Gets $ 45,500 To Change Last Name
It's not all that uncommon for someone to change their last name,
perhaps when they get married, or become a famous movie star. But one
US entrepreneur had a different reason to change his name. He has
agreed to a new identity for a year to whatever name the highest
bidder wanted in an online auction.
So 30-year-old Jason Sadler from Florida will become Jason
HeadsetsDotCom on January 1 after the website Headsets.com agreed to
pay Sadler $45,500 to legally change his name. "Throughout my life
I've had three separate last names, none of which have carried any
real meaning for me or my sense of identity," Sadler said on his
website, buymylastname.com.
"So earlier this year when my mom let me know she'd be going through a
divorce, it occurred to me that shedding my last name might actually
make a lot of sense for me," said Sadler, who was then inspired to
sell his last name through an online auction that allowed any company
who wanted their business name as his new last name to submit a bid.
on November 1 and ended on Wednesday at midnight, with the highest
bidder being Headsets.com, which states on its website that it is
America's leading provider of office telephone earpieces. Sadler said
on his website that he "will now become a walking, talking billboard"
for the company, and is "ready and willing" to expand upon any further
marketing ideas for an additional cost.
"We've done some wacky marketing things ourselves in the past," Mike
Faith, president of Headsets.com, told CNN about Sadler's idea that he
said is a perfect fit for the company. Twenty-five businesses
participated in the auction, with Headsets.com and PawnUp.com battling
it out until the very end.
Sadler said he will donate 10 percent of the money earned from the
auction to a non-profit organization called Cheerful Givers, which is
committed to giving less fortunate children gifts on their birthdays
and holidays. He will use the rest for future marketing ideas.
Self-branding is not a new concept for Sadler. In 2009, he started an
advertising campaign where he raised more than $66,000 by wearing
different company t-shirts.

Gujarat post-poll survey: Narendra Modi-led BJP set to win 129-141 seats
this report from http://m.ibnlive.com/wsf/article_mobilePageNew.php?id=311351&sid=37
Narendra Modi will continue to lord over Gujarat for the next five years as he is all set to score a hat-trick of electoral victories and lead the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) back to power. According to the post-poll survey conducted by the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) and seat projections by Chennai Mathematical Institute Director Rajeeva Karandikar, Modi will steamroll the opposition and become the chief minister of Gujarat once again.
The post-poll survey of 3755 persons at 239 locations in 60 constituencies in Gujarat shows that Modi is going to better the 2002 and 2007 results and win by a very handsome margin. While the BJP will have a vote percentage of 48, the party is going to win 129-141 seats (the party had won 117 in 2007 in the 182-member Assembly) with the Congress trailing far behind with 36 per cent of the votes and its worst show in the state with only 37 to 45 seats (the party had won 59 in 2007). The other smaller parties would garner 16 per cent of the votes and end up with 4 to 10 seats (others had won six seats which included three by the NCP, one by the JD(U) and two Independents in 2007).
What is surprising that even though the BJP is losing one per cent of the votes as compared to the 2007 elections, the party is set to win at least 12 seats more than last time. The Congress's votes too is down two per cent from the 2007 figure and the other smaller parties are also losing four per cent votes all of which is being cornered by Keshubahi Patel's Gujarat Parivartan Party, which didn't exist in 2007.
The Modi regime is riding on a pro-incumbency wave with a majority of the voters in favour of re-electing him. In fact, the BJP is way ahead of the Congress in all the regions of the state. Despite Keshubhai Patel's GPP being strong in the Leuva Patel-dominated Saurashtra, it is the BJP which is getting the maximum votes there. In North Gujarat, the BJP gets 54 per cent of the votes and it is only Central Gujarat where the Congress comes within touching distance of its political opponent.

Sport News:India can grab the No. 1 spot in T20s
India have a great chance of climbing to the top of the ICC T20I championship table if they manage to win all four matches scheduled to be played against England and Pakistan before the end this year. India are all set to play England in a two-match Twenty20 International series, starting in Pune on Thursday, before squaring off against arch-rivals Pakistan, in another two-match series, commencing in Bangalore on December 25.
read more at http://m.cricketnext.com/cn/news/a-chance-for-india-to-grab-the-no-1-spot-in-t20/69964-13.html
Victory in all four games for India, currently ranked third on the T20I table with 120 ratings points, will not only propel them to number one position with a gain of 12 rating points but will also open up a five-point lead over current table toppers, Sri Lanka. This will be the first time that India have a chance of making it to the No.1 spot in the T20I championship table since it was launched in October 2011.
But if India lose even one of the four matches, the best they can hope to end 2012 is at the number two place, while losing all four could mean slipping down to as low as seventh position with 106 ratings points. England and Pakistan could hope to push up a place if they win their games against India.
Meanwhile, South Africa could rise up to number two spot if they win the series against the New Zealand 3-0. But the final positioning for South Africa will be determined by the outcome of India's series against England and Pakistan.read more at http://m.cricketnext.com/cn/news/a-chance-for-india-to-grab-the-no-1-spot-in-t20/69964-13.html

NEWS: twenty four foreign TV channels can’t telecast in India for lack of permission
The Indian government Tuesday said 24 foreign TV channels have been
denied permission to telecast in India as they have either not sought
permission for down-linking or such permission has not been given.
External affairs ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said at a media
briefing that the information and broadcasting ministry in its Dec 4
reply in the Lok Sabha on the issue had said that under Indian laws,
"you require permission for down-linking of TV channels to India".
"There are approximately more than 90 TV channels which are of foreign
origin which are down-linked legally in India. Any other channel which
has not sought this permission is technically in violation of our
norms and regulations," he said.
The 24 TV channels are "the ones which neither have sought that
permission nor has such permission been given. That is where it is,"
he added.
The spokesperson added that the information and broadcasting
ministry's answer said that "some of these TV channels are, in the
view of some of our agencies, considered to carry anti-national
information".

tech news -Google has added a new feature to Drive: : Host Web Pages on Google Drive
Google has added a new feature to Drive: You can now serve up web content from within your Google Drive folder, even ones that run JavaScript. All you need to do is upload your HTML files and assets (e.g., images) and make them public.
The Google Developers site has more details on publishing a folder as a website, but essentially, besides having the folder and site assets public, you also need to link to the files in the folder using a "webViewLink" code. If you don't have an index.html file in the folder, Drive will display a list of the folder's contents.

Movie News :Mani Ratnam’s Son Nandhan Is Set To Act In Hassan’s First Hollywood Flick
Veteran actor Kamal Haasan who has been busy working on his current project 'Vishwaroopam' is soon to make his flick in Hollywood, after receiving praise and an invitation from prominent producer Barry M Osborne.
Rumour suggests that he will be launching Mani Ratnam's son, Nandhan with the project on board.
Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan share a friendship ever since their days from 'Nayagan' and are known to be great representatives of Tamil cinema in the outside world.
However, this is quite a surprise considering Nandhan hasn't appeared in any movie yet. Although his character hasn't been confirmed, it appears that Nandhan will indeed make his debut with Hassan's first.
Having grown up with an experienced film-maker like his father, we might just see another south mega star coming up soon.
Movie News:The Film Industry Is Filled With ‘Khiladis’: Akshay Kumar
It is a fact not known to everyone that Akshay Kumar is a man of wit and humour even when he is not kicking butt on the big screen and this quality of his was evident in the way he effortlessly handled the questions shot at him during a press interaction for his latest film 'Khiladi 786' in the satellite town Gurgaon.
The Khiladi Kumar, who came with his co-actor Asin Thottumkal in tow, was questioned for landing more than an hour late for the press meet by one of the media persons present in the room. The quick-witted Akki said, "I was told to come at this time. So darling, please don't ask me this question. I am very punctual. And I feel very proud to say that."
As compared to Akshay's other 'Khiladi' movies, 'Khiladi 786' is replete with even more deadly and gravity-defying stunts. And one of them required the actor to jump from a height of 45 feet. So, when quizzed on why he decided to perform the sequence, the stunt-loving actor's answer was simple and clear: "First of all, no one should attempt to do that. But I do it because I practice it, enjoy it and at the same time I train for it. I do it for my passion for stunt scenes. There are people on the sets to take care of me and there is an ambulance too."
Akshay's 'Khiladi' films have borne fruits for him in past and with 'Khiladi 786' the actor has kept his hopes high that this time too the audience give thumbs up to the action-comedy.
With hot shot actors reigning Bollywood, Akshay was asked for his opinion on who else he thinks is best suited to be called a Khiladi, to which he coolly replied, "The industry is filled with Khiladis. So there is nothing such that there is only one Khiladi in Bollywood. Any one can be a Khiladi."
'Khiladi 786' is a catchy title and an intriguing one too given the fact that the numbers 786 are considered sacred in the Islamic faith. So it was obvious that this question will be put forward before Akki.
And here's what he answered, "786 mean bismillah, to begin something in the name of God. In the movie's story the protagonist palm lines resemble the number 786 which means that he is blessed with God's grace and no one can harm him. But the interesting part of the story is what if something bad happens to the hero. So the movie explores that possibility as well. That's why it was important to name this film as 'Khiladi 786'."
With the film's co-producer and actor Himesh Reshmmiya making statement that only Akshay is the real hero in the film while the rest are extras did raise a lot of eyebrows but Akshay chose to take a more mature and diplomatic approach while commenting on Himesh's controversial statement. "I would not call them (the other actors) as extras. Others are very much important as much I am important. May be I am important than them a little bit more but they are also a very important part of the team. For example, without Himesh I would not have got so many good songs. Even Himesh has played a crucial role in the film.
Actress Asin Thottumkal, who plays Akshay's love interest and a Marathi girl in the movie, could not stop herself from singing praises in the name of the former. "Akshay is a positive person and he encourages me to work in a better way. As an actor he is very disciplined and punctual. It is a myth that disciplined people are snobbish. Akshay is fun loving.
So what is so extraordinary about 'Khiladi 786' that will pull the crowd to the theatres? "It is a fun film and it is a complete family entertainer that you can watch with your entire family. The film won't disappoint you. You will come out of the theatre with a smile on your face after watching the film. Even the movie's songs composed by Himesh Reshmmiya's have done well. The audience will love the film's over-the-top action scenes besides many other good things," explained Akshay.
'Khiladi 786' opens in theatres on December 7, 2012.
