The New York Red Bulls announced their schedule along with the rest of Major League Soccer today. Of paramount interest (at least to casual fans or the general public) is of course the July 19 visit of David Beckham and the L.A. Galaxy. That game will once again take place on a mid-summer Saturday night (last year was Aug. 14, if memory serves).Other home dates of interest: New England visits Saturday, April 19, which is the third weekend of the season. D.C. United comes to town Saturday, Aug. 9, defending champion Houston Dynamo on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 24.Ten of the team's home games take place on Saturday night, four on Sunday afternoon and the obligatory one on Thursday night, which is exactly the same as last year. But the team's three home dates in April are one more than last year, which could crimp attendance figures. So could the pair of October home games (last season Red Bull had only one).The away schedule is somewhat more conducive to road trips (for passionate fans in th
Super Mario Galaxy's unsung star talks player experienceFiled under: InterviewsWhen most gamers think of that sense of amazement the certain parts of Super Mario Galaxy seem to invoke, they attribute that moment to the Miyamoto touch, a direct result of the imaginative developer's attention and care. While it's a natural assumption to make, one shouldn't forget about Yoshiaki Koizumi, the director behind the critically-acclaimed platformer!In a recent interview with Next-Gen, Koizumi championed the importance of surprising players: "If you think about games only as a thing that you interact with, you're missing the possibility of immersion. The inspirations that I tend to draw on for that all come from real life itself. Hiking on a mountain and seeing a cave and thinking about what's inside -- it's that sense of wonder and excitement I want players to feel."Well, we certainly had a lot of that with just the Gusty Garden Galaxy!Gallery: Super Mario GalaxyPermalink | Email
New observations from physicists have led to the conclusion that intense burst of gamma rays possibly coming from the Andromeda Galaxy in February 2007 lacked a gravitational wave, which rules out an initial interpretation that the burst came from merging neutron stars or black holes within the galaxy. Gamma ray bursts are among the most violent and energetic events in the universe. On Feb. 1, 2007, four gamma ray satellites measured a short but intense outburst of energetic gamma rays originating in the direction of the Andromeda galaxy 2.5 million light years from Earth. The majority of short (less than 2 seconds) gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to come from the merger and coalescence of two massive but compact objects such as neutron stars or black hole systems. They also can come from less-common soft, gamma ray repeaters, which emit fewer intense gamma rays. The most likely explanation for the burst of gamma rays was initially considered to be the
There are those out there, largely tin-foil-hat-wearing asylum types (Editor’s Note: For more of this sort of thing, we suggest you check out this captivating investigative piece on little Green Men on a Mission entitled “Cattle Mutilations - Senseless Mutilation or High-Tech Examinations?”), who believe that extra-terrestrials have visited Earth – presumably swooping in on our planet to see the sights and probe the orifices of a few yokels before hitting the next stop on a celestial package-tour.Neither of us would rule out the possibility that life forms from other planets have visited us (heck we’ve partied with some likely suspects), but one wonders why, like the Blessed Virgin who chooses to reveal her face in the more delectable pastries of the faithful, these sightings usually occur under wholly discreditable circumstances. Even the most popular of all flying-saucer myths, the Roswell incident, has been more or less discredited, with all but ardent New Mexico T-shirt s
They have some interesting news in NASA’s website. A powerful jet from a super massive black hole seems to blast a nearby galaxy. According to researchers, this jet might destroy the planets on its way, but it might also speed up the formation process of new stars. This objects is known as 3C321 and it [...]
Just interesting...From FNC: For the first time astronomers have witnessed a supermassive black hole blasting its galactic neighbor with a deadly beam of energy.The "death star galaxy," as NASA astronomers called it, could obliterate the atmospheres of planets but also trigger the birth of stars in the wake of its destructive beam.Fortunately, the cosmic violence is a safe distance from our own neck of the cosmos.Technorati Tags: news, education, black hole, science

Princess Peach has carelessly got kidnapped again! It's up to you, Mario, to rescue her... It's the same old story, but Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii is light-years ahead of previous 3D platforming games, taking full advantage of the unique Wii Remote & Nunchuk controllers to add new dimensions to gameplay. There's new power-ups (such as Bee Mario & invisible Boo Mario), and Mario can defy gravity to perform mind-bending leaps across the bizarre alien landscapes or over to other planets. With an engaging soundtrack, Super Mario Galaxy features some of the most impressive graphics seen on the Nintendo Wii to date...Visit the official Super Mario Galaxy siteSuper Mario Galaxy for Nintendo Wii
You have to feel sorry for Princess Peach. Not because she keeps getting kidnapped, but because her boyfriend is a workaholic. When he isn't playing soccer, baseball or golf, Mario is busy throwing parties, racing karts or impersonating a doctor. Apparently, spending "quality time" with your significant other isn't a big priority in the Mushroom Kingdom. WATCH SUPER MARIO GALAXY VIDEOSBut when push comes to shove, Mario knows on which side his bread his buttered. Eschewing those darn mini-games (yay!) in favor of good old-fashioned platforming, the mustachioed mascot returns to his roots in Super Mario Galaxy, squashing Goombas, hurling turtle shells and battling gravity itself in an ingenious, intergalactic quest to once again save his lady love from the clutches of arch-nemesis Bowser. And it's his best effort in a decade. It's also his biggest. Super Mario Galaxy emulates the core gameplay system of the venerable Super Mario 64 by requiring Mario to collect up to 120 power stars, bu
Many objects can be seen with naked eyes, and Andromeda (M31) is one of those. It is the most distant object that can be seen without equipment such as a telescope. It is located 2.3 million light years away from the Earth. It looks like any star, but with binoculars you it is possible [...]

En el blog de Helge Scherlund's eLearning news blog, me encuentro hoy con esta entrada sobre Galaxiki, y como hacía mucho que no hablábamos de wikis, pues ahí va la web de Galaxiki. ¿Qué es Galaxiki? (Una web que está en inglés, aleman y francés...eso sí el español es el segundo idioma en la web decían?) Un mundo ficticio o ficcional en linea creado por su propia comunidad .
LA Galaxy has launched a brand new MySpace for the team since David Beckham has joined them. They also have this awesome contest running on MySpace where you get to be on the sidelines with David Beckham and receive a $1,000 Game Day Check.

photo: instyle.comThe last time I went to a professional soccer match I was wearing two coats while huddled with 60,000 of my closest friends in the very snowy-- and yet very sold out-- Dortmund, Germany, soccer stadium. Evidently soccer matches in glammy Los Angeles have a completely different dress code. Eva Longoria was recently snapped on the red carpet at the Los Angeles Galaxy debut of soccer god David Beckham looking every ounce the Hollywood star. Armani Exchange Rinse Overall$125.00Available at: ArmaniExchange.comWant to steal Eva Longoria's fashionable "Beckham debut" style? She's all done up in the brand new Rinse Overalls from Armani Exchange. The combination of trendy high waist, super deep wash, and brassy sailor buttons is sure to stand out in a crowd. I wouldn't advocate getting this dressed up for your average soccer game, but the look will definitely rock for a chi-chi lunch with the girls at the hottest restaraunt in the city.

Beckham fue presentado en el GalaxyEl inglés David Beckham, despues de haber arribado a Los Ángeles hoy por la manaña (ver nota), fue presentado como el nuevo jugador de Los Ángeles Galaxy.En una amena ceremonia de presentació,n Beckham, quien portará en su camiseta el número 23, (al igual que en su ex equipo el Real Madrid), aseguró sentirse bien de haber tomado la decisión de jugar en la liga norteamericana, ya que simpre vivió para afrontar desafios en su carrera y nuevas experiencias en su vida.El inglés de 31 años será con gran diferencia el jugador mejor pagado de la MLS, con 6,5 millones de dólares anuales. El siguiente es el mexicano Cuauthémoc Blanco, de Chivas USA, con 2,7 millones, según la cadena de televisión ESPN.El momento curioso del acto llegó cuando Beckham se refirió en inglés al fútbol como "football", el término usado en Gran Bretaña, en lugar de "soccer", el usado en Estados Unidos. "Perdón, supongo que ya me iré acostumbrando", afirmó.Te
La directiva del Real Madrid ya le ha confirmado al talentoso jugador inglés que no volverá a enfundarse la camiseta blanca y, es por ello, que David no querría esperar hasta junio para incorporarse al equipo americano.En efecto, David Beckham no quiere esperar hasta junio para incorporarse a la disciplina de Los Ángeles Galaxy. El futbolista inglés anunció su compromiso con los Galaxy a la misma vez que aseguró que daría el "cien por cien" con la camiseta blanca hasta incorporarse al equipo americano pero, al Real Madrid le sentó muy mal la decisión de Becks y Fabio Capello proclamó que no permitiría que el jugador volviera a vestir de madridista.Y es que para Ramón Calderón, presidente del Real Madrid, ha sido una falta de respeto, por parte de Beckham, confirmar a los cuatro vientos que abandonaría el club merengue en verano y, es por ello, que avala la decisión de Capello de alejar al jugador del equipo. "A mí tampoco me ha gustado cómo ha actuado Beckham, anuncia
Eigenlijk hebben we niet veel photo shoots van mannen, maar vandaag hebben we er wel 1 waar vooral de fans van David Beckham blij mee zullen zijn.
