To tell you the truth, I’ve been inside an aircraft simulator (yeah, the actual simulator), and I can say that the entire experience is somewhat similar when compared to an actual flight. Generally, the so called ‘pilot’ crashed the entire plane, and I can say that even the crash feels so violently real. Nevertheless, if you wish to own such devices at home, then perhaps you should seriously take a look at the Motion-Sim 4DOF racing simulator.
Although this particular simulates a racing car, but it can give you very real racing experiences. Just think of playing games like Gran Turismo and Forza, I’m sure that you’ll be sticking to your machine 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Still, the Motion-Sim 4DOF racing simulator is pretty expensive to purchase, whereby the maker is already placing a steep price tag of $25,000 per machine. And if you are from Europe, you’ll get to purchase one for €18,450 – pretty expensive for a gaming rig right?

Who would have thought that you can in fact freely recharge your vehicle while it’s moving on the road? Well it also seems that the Korean did that, whereby they have devised something called the Online Electric Vehicle which charges its batteries via the magnetically recharging road. According to the researchers, this particular electric vehicle functions on a battery which is 5 times smaller than conventional electric vehicle batteries.
Generally, the mechanism works on magnetic strips that will be placed along the road, and the electric vehicle will receive and collect power through a non-contact magnetic transmission from these recharging strips. Also, researchers might be implementing such systems for public transportations, such as busses in the region.
Do you think that such technology is feasible?

Well surely the Japanese are the leader in robotic technology, and I believe that they might be able to create something just like Iron Man’s robotic suit pretty soon. On the other hand, if you have been closely following the Robosoft Kompai, this particular robot is actually a personal assistance robot, which has built-in speech module that can be used to communicate with you.

A close friend of mine just got back from Paris, and she told me so many wonderful news about this gigantic yet romantic city. Based on her remarks, it seems there are so many tourist attractions in Paris and she also recommends that you should reserve your accommodations prior to visiting this magnificent city, as surely, all good accommodations which are located inside the city are pretty hard to reserve in a short period of time. Nevertheless, her excitement and enthusiasm from her recent trip to Paris has somehow motivated me to visit the city, and I got online recently to search for hotel paris, and I found several good sites which can help me reserve my accommodation easily and conveniently. For example, www.hotelparismetro.fr is a great site which allows you to browse top hotels in the area, and the website even provides a snapshot of the rooms as well. www.borntohost.net is also another great site to reserve apartments and other accommodation cannes, and based on my initial observation, I can see that most of the apartments are fully furnished with beautiful, modern furniture. And if you are looking forward for a complete tour in Paris, perhaps you should take a look at paris day tour, as the respective website can furnish you with details on the day tours, which I find to be particularly informational. |

Neil Barofsky, special inspector general for TARP, filed his quarterly report with Congress that was published on Sunday. Therein, Mr. Barofsky warned that the economic crisis will continue to worsen. Mr. Barofsky believes that absent real reform in the financial sector, the benefits of the TARP programs will not prevent an even greater economic meltdown in the future. Financial institutions deemed “too big to fail” have received bail out monies, and yet have not discontinued the practices that resulted in their near collapse. These banks continue to grow in size and have not ceased the practice of awarding their top executives enormous bonuses and salaries. Mr. Barofsky blames the banks’ belief that the government will again provide a bail out if things go awry.
Mr. Barofsky and his team are involved in investigating many allegations of fraud on the part of financial institutions. He believes that the Treasury Department must enact stricter and clearer rules to provide a better framework for banks regarding conflicts of interest. Thus far, the Treasury Department is unwilling to do so, as it believes current rules are sufficient, and that those suggested by Mr. Barofsky would impede the success of the TARP program.
The report also warns of a possible new housing bubble. More than ninety percent of home mortgages are backed by federally-controlled mortgage programs, and the Federal Reserve has supplied one and a quarter trillion dollars to stabilize mortgage rates and allow more homeowners to refinance. This, he warns, could result in an artificial inflation of home prices. Once the Federal Reserve reduces the monies being injected into the housing sector, it is likely that the value of homes will significantly decline.
Although the Obama administration maintains that the program has stabilized the housing market, Mr. Barofsky urges a reformation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to avoid another financial crisis.

As mentioned in his State of the Union Address, President Obama is advocating reliance on new nuclear power plants to move the United States as a means of promoting “greener” energy. His strategy is intended to convince Republicans and moderate Democrats that he will compromise in order to get a climate and energy bill passed. He also believes that constructing new nuclear power plants will provide many jobs in the clean energy sector. He cautioned that the new generation of nuclear power plants will have to be clean and safe. Nuclear reactors currently supply twenty percent of the nation’s electricity, and accounts for seventy percent of our “green” energy.
Obama’s budget proposal is expected to include a request for fifty-four billion dollars in nuclear power loan guarantees. In order to meet the eighty percent reduction in greenhouse gases by 2050 as proposed in pending legislation, the EPA suggests that we would need to build 180 new reactors prior thereto.
Prior to his speech to Congress, Senators Kerry, Lieberman and Graham were suggesting that the energy and climate bill presented to the Senate would include both nuclear energy and offshore drilling as a means of securing enough votes to prevent a filibuster. Whether or not President Obama’s endorsement will help bring additional moderate Democrats and Republicans on board without alienating more liberal Democrats opposed to nuclear power and offshore drilling remains to be seen.
In keeping with the increasing likelihood of additional nuclear power plants in the United States in the near future, the Department of Energy has formed a bipartisan commission to look into potential sites for the disposal of highly radioactive wasted. The previous administration’s plan to dispose of the waste at Yucca Mountain has been vetoed by President Obama.
The nuclear industry welcomes the increased interest in constructing new nuclear power plants.

Although Mr. Obama came to office with the deficit at a staggering $1.3 trillion, many argue that the economic stimulus bill and other spending programs are to blame for its persistence.
President Obama has requested three hundred billion dollars for job creation and recession relief as part of his $3.8 trillion budget. These monies will only modestly affect the rate of job growth for Americans and will result in the largest deficit in history. With unemployment rates nearing ten percent, Democrats facing difficult midterm elections this year are concerned about job creation.
President Obama’s budget includes a reduction in the deficit in the amount of $300 billion this year, with additional reductions over the next ten years in the amount of one trillion dollars. He has said that painful cuts will be needed to move toward a balanced budget. His proposal includes tax increases on wealthier Americans in the amount of one trillion dollars, as well as a freeze on many domestic programs for a savings of two hundred fifty billion dollars. The tax increase would affect married couples earning in excess of $250,000 and individuals earning more than $200,000. Those affected would face a tax rate as high as 39.6 percent and changes to the laws regarding charitable gifts and mortgage interest deductions.
Republicans counter that the spending reductions are too minimal to make any dent in the deficit, and decry the reliance on increased taxes and debt.
President Obama faces a nearly impossible task of creating a budget that does not deepen the recession, but one that also does not ignore the massive looming deficit. He has noted that the need to create more jobs necessitates increasing the deficit in the short-term. He has proposed a commission to recommend cuts to reduce the deficit and the federal debt, with recommendations due after the midterm elections in November.
