Sydney’s iconic Opera House and Harbor Bridge went dark Saturday at the start of the Earth Hour, followed by cities across Asia in a global switch-off aimed at revitalizing efforts against climate change. Harbor ferry horns blared to signal the energy-saving event, which is supported by 4,000 cities in a record 125 countries and includes 1,200 famous landmarks from the Forbidden City to the pyramids to the Las Vegas Strip. “From Brazil to America, to Canada, all the way down to Australia, Japan and India - it is a really diverse set of countries taking part this year,” Earth Hour executive director Andy Ridley said.

Sydney’s office buildings plunged into gloom at 8:30 pm, setting off a rolling wave of darkness which will sweep the globe in a boost for the environmental movement after December’s disappointing Copenhagen UN talks. The WWF-run event had officially begun nearly three hours earlier when New Zealand’s Chatham Islands switched off their diesel generators, leaving just 12 street lamps burning. It will eventually end in Samoa after nearly 24 hours. On the way, most of the world’s top landmarks, from the Eiffel Tower to the Empire State Building and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, will turn off the lights to show their support for energy conservation.

Beijing’s Forbidden City and Bird’s Nest Stadium were among the participants along with dozens of cities in China, the world’s biggest carbon polluter, where giant panda Mei Lan is an Earth Hour ambassador. Hong Kong’s renowed neon waterfront dimmed as did office buildings in Jakarta, Seoul and Tokyo. In Japan, the city of Hiroshima turned off the lights at 30 sites, including the Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial.

The world’s most wanted terrorist Osama Bin Laden, is “healthy” and “giving orders” to deputies in Al Qaeda, according to a Pakistani-origin taxi driver arrested by the FBI here on charges of providing funds to the terror outfit. A 35-page complaint affidavit against Raja Lahrasib Khan, arrested Friday for allegedly providing material support to terrorism and funds to Al Qaeda, gives details of conversations recorded between him and an undercover law enforcement agent about his association with Al Qaeda operative Ilyas Kashmiri, also the chief of HuJI.

In conversations taped on February 23 between Khan and the undercover agent, the 56-year-old taxi driver claims that Kashmiri, whom he addresses as “Lala” told him that Bin Laden is “healthy…Perfect”. “I asked the Lala about him (Osama). And he (Kashmiri) says he is (Osama) healthy, he is leading,” according to the affidavit against Khan submitted in a court here. Khan goes on to say that he thought Bin Laden was “sick” or “shaheed (dead)”, but Kashmiri “says no…He is perfect, healthy, and he’s leading and he’s giving the orders…He’s OK, he’s in safe hands. That’s what Lala said to me, you know…”

Later, in a conversation around March 17, the undercover agent met Khan and an “Individual B” at a restaurant here. During this meeting, Khan told the agent that he knew Kashmiri worked for Al Qaeda because he had asked him about “the big Lala, Osama….” Khan asked Kashmiri if Osama was “alive or is he shaheed”? He (Kashmiri) said no, he’s OK. Allahamdullah (praise be to God) he’s healthy and….He is commanding everything,” according to the conversation. Khan also told the undercover agent that  though he had never met Bin Laden “personally”, he wanted to meet him.

In a development that will allow even physically disabled people become a gamer, British researchers claim to have developed a revolutionary and affordable computer game which could be played with the blink of an eye. ‘Pong’ is an open source adaptation created by the researchers at the Imperial College London where a player can move a bat to hit a ball as it bounces around the screen using their eye. To play the game, the user wears special glasses containing an infrared light a webcam that records the movement of one eye. The webcam is linked to a laptop where a software syncs the player’s eye movements to the game, Journal Science said.

Dr Aldo Faisal, the team’s supervisor from the Department of Computing and the Department of Bioengineering, said, “Remarkably, our team have created this piece of neurotechnology using bits of kit that you can buy in a shop, such as webcams.” The game that they have developed is quite simple, but we think it has enormous potential, particularly because it does not need lots of expensive equipment. The teams said that the prototype game is very simple but the technology behind it could be adapted to create more sophisticated games and applications such as wheelchairs and computer cursors controlled by eye movements.

They said, one of the major benefits of the new technology is that it is inexpensive, using off-the-shelf hardware and costing approximately 25 pound to make, while eye movement systems that are currently used to study the brain and eye motion cost around 27,000 pounds. “We hope to eventually make the technology available online so anyone can have a go at creating new applications and games with it and we are optimistic about where this might lead,” Faisal said.

A team of scientists has suggested that the Earth might might be on the threshold of entering a new geological epoch, which might include the sixth largest mass extinction in the Earth’s history. The scientists include Jan Zalasiewicz and Mark Williams from the University of Leicester Department of Geology; Will Steffen, Director of the Australian National University’s Climate Change Institute and Paul Crutzen the Nobel Prize-winning atmospheric chemist of Mainz University.

The scientists propose that, in just two centuries, humans have wrought such vast and unprecedented changes to our world that we actually might be ushering in a new geological time interval, and alter the planet for millions of years. Zalasiewicz, Williams, Steffen and Crutzen contend that recent human activity, including stunning population growth, sprawling megacities and increased use of fossil fuels, have changed the planet to such an extent that we are entering what they call the Anthropocene (New Man) Epoch.

First proposed by Crutzen more than a decade ago, the term Anthropocene has provoked controversy. However, as more potential consequences of human activity - such as global climate change and sharp increases in plant and animal extinctions - have emerged, Crutzen’s term has gained support. Currently, the worldwide geological community is formally considering whether the Anthropocene should join the Jurassic, Cambrian and other more familiar units on the Geological Time Scale. The scientists note that getting that formal designation will likely be contentious.

The US and Russia, countries with the largest nuclear stockpiles, have reached an agreement to considerably reduce their atomic weapons, in a landmark deal that could “reset” relations between the cold war rivals. The agreement has been reached between US President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart Demetry Medvedev and will be signed by the two leaders in Prague on April 08th, the White House announced on Friday.

“In a phone call this morning, President Obama and President Medvedev agreed to meet in Prague, the Czech republic, on Thursday, April 08th, to sign the treaty between the United States of America and the Russian federation on measures to further reduction and limitation of strategic offensive arms (the ‘new  Start treaty’),” White House said. This landmark agreement advances the security of both nations, and reaffirms American and Russian leadership on behalf of nuclear security and global non-proliferation. “This was the 14th direct meeting or phone call between the presidents addressing new Start, and represents their shared commitment to ‘reset’ US-Russia relations so that we cooperate substantively and effectively on issues of mutual interest along many dimensions,” it said.

The new treaty will contain limits on US and Russian nuclear forces significantly below the levels established by the Start treaty signed in 1991, and the Moscow treaty signed in 2002. The new Start treaty will specify limits of 1,550 deployed warheads, which is about 30 per cent lower than the upper warhead limit of the Moscow treaty; 800 deployed and non-deployed Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) launchers, Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) launchers, and heavy bombers equipped for nuclear weapons; and 700 for deployed ICBMs, SLBMs, and heavy bombers equipped for nuclear weapons. White House said the treaty’s verification regime will provide the ability to monitor all aspects related to it.

Want to lose weight without dieting or exercising? Add an extra helping of human gut bugs, researchers say. Gut bacteria play a vital role in digestion. Last year, researchers found that replacing the bacteria in mouse intestines with human gut flora decreased the amount of fat absorbed by the gut. Japanese researchers have found that supplementing the diets of overweight people with one type of human gut microbe makes them lose weight.

“The bacteria may cause weight loss by inhibiting fat absorption in the intestine,” lead author Yukio Kadooka said. During the study, the team gave 87 overweight volunteers 100 grams of fermented milk, which is used to make yoghurt, twice a day, while they continued with their normal diets. The milk drunk by half of the group was enriched with Lactobacillus gasseri. After 12 weeks, these volunteers had lost an average of 1kg, while their counterparts showed no change in weight.

Scans revealed that they had lost 4.6% of their “bad”, visceral fat, which surrounds internal organs and is implicated in metabolic syndrome, and 3.3% of their subcutaneous fat, the New Scientist website reported. Hip and waist circumference also went down by an average of 1.7 and 1.5 cm respectively. “For doing absolutely nothing, that’s a lot,” says Matthew Digby, who researchers dietary milk proteins at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study. The bacteria may cause weight loss by inhibiting fat absorption in the intestine, said Kadooka.
