U.S. astronomers find young planets stay hotter, longer


,oakley france

WASHINGTON,lunette oakley, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- Hot,polo Ralph Lauren, young planets may be easier to spot because they stay that way longer than astronomers have thought, according to new work by scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

For a few million years after their initial formation,Cheap Christian Louboutin, planets like Earth may maintain a hot surface of molten rock that would glow brightly enough to make them stand out as they orbit neighboring stars.

MIT scientist Linda Elkins-Tanton says the "magma ocean" stage for Earth-sized planets may last a few million years, much longer than previously estimated. "That means we may actually see them elsewhere, as detection systems get better,Cheap Louboutins," she said.

The findings were presented this week at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences.

The research shows that even after the surface magma solidifies,Ralph Lauren pas cher, within about 5 million years,Ralph Lauren, it could stay hot enough to glow brightly in infrared light for tens of millions of years, providing a relatively long window for detectability.

The big problem for astronomers hoping to detect planets around other stars is the vast difference in brightness between the star and the planet,oakley, which shines only by reflecting light from its parent star. But the difference in brightness in infrared wavelengths for a glowing, molten planetary surface would be much less, making the detection more feasible.

London school regrets honoring Dalai Lama

(China Daily July 8, 2008)--Britain's London Metropolitan University recently apologized for bestowing an honorary doctorate to the Dalai Lama after the move drew intense criticism from a number of Chinese.

Brian Roper,Christian Louboutin Outlet, vice-chancellor of the university, expressed in a letter to the Chinese embassy in London on June 16 his regret of his school's move,oakley, saying that offering the degree to the Dalai Lama was not a well-considered decision,Ralph Lauren, according to an embassy official last week.

Roper said the university is committed to keeping a good relationship with China and fully supports the Beijing Olympics.

In May, the university presented the Dalai Lama, who was then on a visit to Britain,lunette oakley, with an honorary doctorate of philosophy, saying the degree was to recognize his role in "promoting peace globally."

Angered and offended by the move, Chinese students and Internet users at home and abroad called for a boycott the university,lunettes oakley, saying its conferment of honors on the Dalai Lama had hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.

Founded in 2002,Christian Louboutin Sale, London Metropolitan University has offered scholarships and financial support to Tibetan students in India and Bhutan. It also has a Free Tibet Society, which advocates the "Independence of Tibet."

Many study abroad agencies in China have reportedly boycotted the university,polo Ralph Lauren, advising students who wish to study in Britain not to attend the school.

"We would not recommend our students to study at universities that support 'Tibetan independence' and are not friendly to China,oakley france," a worker at a study abroad agency in Beijing said in an interview with the Global Times.

A staff member of the Chinese embassy in London said the university's apology is sincere but it is not enough to completely offset the negative effect.

"The university should do more to repair its image in the eyes of Chinese students, such as not providing speaking platforms for Tibetan separatists,Christian Louboutin Shoes," he said.

He also said the boycott by a number of Chinese students and Internet users is "spontaneous and understandable".

Britain is one of the countries with the largest number of overseas Chinese students. More than 49,000 Chinese students enrolled in British universities in the 2006-07 academic year,Cheap Christian Louboutin, figures from the British Higher Education Statistics Agency showed.相关的主题文章：

Gaza militants fire 3 rockets into Israel

GAZA,Cheap Michael Kors, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- Gaza militant groups fired three rockets from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel overnight,michael kors outlet, causing no damages or injuries, Israeli Radio Arabic service reported Tuesday.

An Israeli army spokesman was quoted by the radio as saying one Russian-made Grad rocket landed in an empty area in Ashkelon,Ralph Lauren, some 13 km away from Gaza's border,louboutin pas cher, the farthest a rocket reached inside Israel since the end of an Israeli offensive on Gaza on Jan.18.

The two other homemade rockets landed at the Western Negev area, said the spokesman,Ralph Lauren pas cher, adding that the three rockets caused no damages or injuries.

So far,chaussure louboutin, no group in Gaza claimed responsibility for the rockets attacks on Israel.

China's Sun King dreams of a green future

China's Sun King dreams of a green future ,Cheap Michael Kors

by Xinhua Writers Wang Yaguang, Lin Jianyang and Zhu Shaobin

<p>DEZHOU, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- Few men at 51 can claim to be full of energy, but Huang Ming is -- and it drives him into a state of excitement.

Excitement at the state of the environment; excitement at the roaring success of his solar water business; and excitement at his new green housing project, where homes are selling almost as soon as they're on the market.

The apartments in Dezhou city, in China's eastern Shandong Province,michael kors outlet, are being snapped up despite costing double the local average rate, he points out.

The energy-efficient buildings are the latest development in his green dream,chaussure louboutin, backed by his Himin Solar Energy Group empire,Michael Kors Handbags, the world's largest maker of solar water heaters.

"My dream is quite simple: leaving our offspring blue skies and white clouds and saving limited resources for their benefit,Ralph Lauren pas cher," says Huang, president of the Dezhou-based group.

After rushing back from a meeting in Ji'nan, the provincial capital more than an hour's drive from Dezhou,polo Ralph Lauren, Huang arrives at the company reception room at about 8 p.m. for the interview.

He talks proudly about his plans, the heart of which is Utopia Garden, a state-level,louboutin, energy-efficient building project under construction since September 2007.

Dapperly dressed in a neat shirt,louboutin pas cher, casual suit and black and red-striped scarf, his hands move energetically to emphasize his words.

The first four of the 12 apartment blocks, between 12 and 18 floors,Ralph Lauren, sold out after sales started in October he says, refueling himself on a dinner of cake.

The buildings, which boast an energy consumption rate at least 65 percent lower than normal homes, have solar-powered heating and air-conditioning systems on the roofs. Power for lighting in the public areas and gardens will be produced by photovoltaic devices.

Huang started the Utopia Garden project despite skepticism that a solar water heater maker could be a developer. "A major factor pushing me into the property market was the frequent refusal by developers to install solar water heaters on their buildings."

Property developers don't bother to add value to homes by installing energy-efficient facilities because apartments are sold before construction,hristian louboutin chaussures, Huang says.

"I'm saving the country in a devious way," he jokes.相关的主题文章：

HAITI Universities Feel Strain After Earthquake

<p>PORT-AU-PRINCE, Feb 1, 2010 (IPS) - Astride Auguste was late for an exam at Quiskeya University on that fateful Tuesday, Jan. 12, when the earthquake - or "the event", as Haitians have come to call it - struck this capital city.

Auguste, an undergraduate student in international affairs and management, was near the campus when she felt the earth shake beneath her. She bounced a few times and eventually regained her composure. A few miles away, many of her fellow students had died after most of the buildings collapsed.

"I can't believe it," said a visibly shaken Auguste, days after the disaster. "This is a nightmare. The year has been lost. I don't know what I am going to do now."

For Auguste and thousands of university students across this city, attending college was a big part of their dreams for a better life. In less than 45 seconds, their world literally turned upside down.

As the Haitian government and international community scramble to shelter and feed the homeless and the injured, higher education appears to be on the sidelines for now.

Quiskeya and scores of universities and colleges in the capital were destroyed during the earthquake. But none was affected more than that school, which had recently undergone a two-million-dollar physical upgrade.

The State University of Haiti enrolls a mere fraction of high school graduates. The system at one time was considered among the best in the Caribbean. It graduated a coterie of doctors, lawyers,louboutin pas cher, accountants and engineers.

But in recent years, amid political turmoil,louboutin, the system has been lagging and private universities have mushroomed around the capital to serve students who can't gain admission into the public colleges and professional schools.

"Higher education is one of the best investments Haiti can make right now – there is no greater bang for the buck for developing a country. Haiti needs to rebuild its educated class, the anchor of every stable economy and society," said Conor Bohan, who runs a programme that provides merit-based scholarships for disadvantaged high school graduates.

Until 1986, the state university, founded at the turn of the century, was the only university licensed to operate in Haiti, controlled by whatever dictator was in power.

However,michael kors outlet, scores of places that call themselves universities have sprung up in the last 20 years. The most reputable are members of the association of francophone universities (www.auf.org). There are eight members including the state university,chaussure louboutin, the Catholic university (Notre Dame d'Haiti – UNDH) and Quisqueya, the largest private university.

The number of students enrolled in these universities is difficult to pinpoint. But only one percent of Haitians between the ages of 18-24 are enrolled. That rate is the lowest in the hemisphere.

The state university is the largest but the administration is weak. Eleven faculties function quasi-independently,Ralph Lauren pas cher, making for a fractured institution.

With about 80 percent of university buildings destroyed, the government held a meeting last week to plan a reconstruction strategy. Some of the ideas thrown around are prefab housing that can be put up in less than a week.

The Haitian Education and Leadership Programme, or HELP, a local university scholarship programme, is trying to use this opportunity to create partnerships between accredited Haitian universities and universities abroad, according to Bohan,hristian louboutin chaussures, its executive director and founder.

"First we're looking for universities to accept students short-term while the local universities can rebuild, but also to establish long-term partnerships for technical support, professor and student exchanges,Michael Kors Handbags, advanced degree possibilities for top Haitian graduates," he said.

Universities that have thus far expressed an interest are Dillard University, a historically black U.S. college in New Orleans, Louisiana,Ralph Lauren, whose students were displaced during Hurricane Katrina, Virginia Tech,Cheap Michael Kors, Brown University & U. Polytechnique de Montreal.

According to various educators, Haiti's public schools educate only 10 percent of the school age population.

Universal, free, state-sponsored education is essential to Haiti's development. It is in the constitution but has been ignored by the government and donors alike.

"Eighty-five percent of Haitians with a university degree have emigrated,polo Ralph Lauren, the result of Duvalierist anti-intellectual repression and 20 years of political instability," Bohan said. "In short – Haiti's educated class has left and is not being replaced."
