Professor makes black hole breakthroughs, ballads - CNN.com
"Although astronomers have detected black holes only in deep space, there is speculation that a black hole could be generated at the Large Hadron Collider, the multibillion-dollar particle accelerator under development at the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland.
If you made a little tiny black hole in a laboratory, it wouldn't have that much gravity. It wouldn't suck in everything that's on the Earth; it would just suck in stuff that's within, say, a few millimeters of it," he said. "It wouldn't be the devastating danger that science-fiction writers would say, because it'd be a real tiny mass."

The World Wide Web turns 15 (again)

15th anniversary of the day the web's code was put into the public domain by Cern, the lab where the web was developed.
Web in infancy, says Berners-Lee

WWW inventor says web only in infancy | France 24
"The comments came on the anniversary of the announcement by CERN on April 30, 1993 that the World Wide Web could be used by everyone, after Berners-Lee and a colleague persuaded their bosses to provide the programme code for free.
Robert Cailliau, who worked with Berners-Lee to open up the web, stressed that not all the bosses at CERN were in favour of making the web universally accessible.
Competing technologies -- such as Gopher developed at the University of Minnesota in the United States -- were also offering a way of connecting documents on the Internet, he said.
If we had put a price on it like the University of Minnesota had done with Gopher then it would not have expanded into what it is now.
We would have had some sort of market share alongside services like AOL and Compuserve, but we would not have flattened the world.""

www一般開放15周年、発明者が語るウェブの理想: AFPBB News
ティム・バーナーズ・リーTim Berners-Lee
"CERNがWWWを一般開放するにあたっては、一部の上司が難色を示したと、リー氏の同僚Robert Cailliau氏は振り返る。
当時、米ミネソタ大学（University of Minnesota）では「Gopher」と呼ばれる類似の文献検索システムが開発されていた。「WWWをGopherのように有料にしていたら、WWWは今のようには全世界に普及せず、AOLやCompuserveのような1つのサービスにとどまっていただろう」とCailliau氏は語った"

Russian villagers living the horror of a nuclear explosion 50 years ago -asahi.com :
"On Sept. 29, 1957, a cooling system for a tank that stored liquid radioactive waste exploded at the Mayak nuclear plant. The facility had manufactured the Soviet Union's first plutonium for atomic bombs.
The blast scattered radioactive matter over 20,000 square kilometers. In total, 270,000 residents of 217 villages were affected, according to a report compiled by environmental protection group Greenpeace Russia, based on the government's data and other materials.
The worst affected were some 10,000 residents of 23 villages. Their areas were so badly contaminated that they were secretly forced to be relocated to other areas."

四川大地震：テントの優先的援助を国際社会に期待 [中国情報局]
"外交部の秦剛報道官は２１日、北京で「中国は国際社会がテントを優先して提供してくれることを希望する」
「先日も中国側が、四川の被災地への物資援助ではテントを優先して欲しいと述べた後、多くの国と組織はいち早くこれに応えてくれた。中国側はこれに心から感謝する」
被災者が多く、大量のテントが必要となっていることから、中国側はテント提供を改めて国際社会に求めた"

５月１２日地震発生当日の、地元のテレビ局四川衛視 [中国情報局]
"世界中の眼が四川省に集まっていた当日、地元のテレビ局である四川衛視は何をしていただろうか。震源地にあるテレビ局なのに、まるで自分とは関係ないかのように、地震関連のニュースを簡潔に報道した以外は、
何と通常通りにドラマや娯楽番組を放送していたのである。
被災地では多くの人々が瓦礫の下で死線をさまよい、４００万もの人が家を失い、野宿を強制させられていたにもかかわらずである
地震発生の翌日には四川衛視も全面的に大地震の報道に切り替えたものの、"
