For the first time, microscopic robots made from DNA molecules can walk, follow instructions and work together to assemble simple products on an atomic-scale assembly line, mimicking the machinery of living cells, two independent research teams announced Wednesday.
The day after $1,000bn was briefly wiped off the market value of US equities, traders were still trying to work out what caused share prices to plunge and then rebound so dramatically in a matter of minutes.

THE sleek new AMERICAN addition to the Air Force’s combat aircraft fleet will fly over the Gold Coast in its first public appearance about 12.45pm today.
But a fleeting glimpse of the new F/A-18F Super Hornets might be all you will catch, with the jets travelling at a `slow’ 550km/h, about 500 feet in the air.
Four F-111s will fly alongside the five new Super Hornets as they make their way to RAAF Base Amberley.
The fighter jets will fly from Tweed Heads to Southport about 12.45pm, before making their way to Brisbane.
Fast Facts
Produced: 1995–present
Number built: 400 as of 2009
Unit cost: US$60.3 million (2010 flyaway cost)
The Super Hornet entered service with the United States Navy in 1999, replacing the F-14 Tomcat since 2006, and serves alongside the original Hornet. In 2007, the Royal Australian Air Force ordered Super Hornets to replace its aging F-111 fleet.
NEW estates on the Gold Coast could soon have access to the fastest internet in the country.
Legislation introduced late last week dictates all new development estates will have to be fitted with fibre optics — the same infrastructure that will be used with the Federal Government’s National Broadband Network (NBN) to provide so-called ‘super-fast broadband’. It would provide internet up to 10 times faster than a standard broadband connection.
Gold Coast Unit owners could find themselves facing a hefty bill and without TV in 2013 when the analogue signal is cut.
As part of the switch over to digital television, the analogue signal will be turned off in June 2013, which could leave some residents in older units and high rises without television at all. Gold Coast Units built before 2004 may not have suitable cabling. Replacing old cabling might reach into thousands of dollars.
RETAILERS are targeting individual shoppers with digital billboards like those in the hit Tom Cruise film Minority Report.
Cameras in the advert hoardings identify the age and sex of passers-by then display relevant products.
The makers claim images of faces are erased immediately but some consumers fear the billboards will capture their expressions and responses to the ads.
The signs are being tried out in Japan….more

The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs growing scarcer…
Global Warming 1922 AP Washington Post NOAA Full Article
Quote…….
”The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen, Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the Gulf Stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelt which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.
I’m sorry, I neglected to mention in the beginning that this report was from November 2, 1922 as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post in the United States. Nearly 90 years ago! But we’re still here… Now isnt that great news?
Joh 14:27 … Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. .

A HORRIFIED Twitter user tweeted the moment a tourist was killed in the jaws of a "gigantic shark" in a South African holiday spot.
Gregg Coppen watched as Lloyd Skinner was savaged in Cape Town, South Africa, on Tuesday (local time) tweeting: "Holy _____ We just saw a gigantic shark eat what looked like a person in front of our house…"

He added: "That shark was huge. Like dinosaur huge."
"We were swimming only about 15m away from the guy. We were at about chest depth and he was a little deeper….I never want to experience this again. I’m going to block it out of my mind.”
