High Fructose Corn Syrup To Get a Makeover 646

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday September 15, 2010 @07:55PM from the same-great-taste dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With its sweetener linked to obesity, some cancers and diabetes, the Corn Refiners Association (CRA) doesn't want you to think 'fructose' when you see high fructose corn syrup in your soda, ketchup or pickles. Instead, the AP reports, the CRA submitted an application to the FDA, hoping to change the name of their top-selling product to 'corn sugar.'"

Noisebridge Attempts to Teach Science To Juggalos 198

Posted by samzenpus on Monday June 21, 2010 @02:44PM from the so-that's-how-a-magnet-works dept.

Working on the assumption that the Insane Clown Posse's song Miracles was indeed a tribute to the wonder of nature and not the cleverest troll ever, some folks from the hackerspace Noisebridge decided to try and educate ICP fans. Surprisingly, most of the fans seemed to enjoy the science lesson, but representatives of the band didn't seem to think it was funny.

A Hyper-Velocity Impact In the Asteroid Belt? 114

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday January 19, 2010 @11:38AM from the i-played-that-game dept.

astroengine writes "Astronomers have spotted something rather odd in the asteroid belt. It looks like a comet, but it's got a circular orbit, similar to an asteroid. Whether it's an asteroid or a comet, it has a long, comet-like tail, suggesting something is being vented into space. Some experts think it could be a very rare comet/asteroid hybrid being heated by the sun, but there's an even more exciting possibility: It could be the first ever observation of two asteroids colliding in the asteroid belt."

IDEs With VIM Text Editing Capability? 193

Posted by timothy on Wednesday December 30, 2009 @03:30PM from the one-keybinding-to-rule-them-all dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I am currently looking to move from text editing with vim to a full fledged IDE with gdb integration, integrated command line, etc. Extending VIM with these capabilities is a mortal sin, so I am looking for a linux based GUI IDE. I do not want to give up the efficient text editing capabilities of VIM though. How do I have my cake and eat it too?"

I remember reading that 3 mile island did release radiation. 7 curies of I-131 if I remember correctly. At the time it was happening there was steam venting to the atmosphere so the containment building would not rupture from the pressure. At that time the rods had already partly disintegrated. I remember figures of like a 1/3 of the rod material was lying at the bottom of the reactor vessel in chunks. Also I remember mention of a cesium isotope but I dont remember how much. It was kind of crazy because there were reporters in helicopters flying thru/close to the steam with geiger counters.
