I found this on 'Science File' from DocStrangebrew, "Journal editor resigns over 'problematic' climate paper" By Richard Black Environment correspondent, BBC News "The editor of a science journal has resigned after admitting that a recent paper casting doubt on man-made climate change should not have been published. The paper, by US scientists Roy Spencer and William Braswell, claimed that computer models of climate inflated projections of temperature increase. It was seized on by "sceptic" bloggers, but attacked by mainstream scientists. ...." www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14768574"Editor-in-Chief of Remote Sensing Resigns from Fallout Over Our Paper" September 2nd, 2011 by Roy W.

Ars Technica "Making materials transparent by doing nothing" By Chris Lee "When you shine light on a substance, part of the light is reflected, part is transmitted, and part is absorbed. If you choose the color of light and the substance sensibly, you can arrange things so that all the light is absorbed. Nothing special about that, right? OK, but what if you could shine a second light on the substance and make it transparent for the first light field? That would be a bit strange, wouldn't it? Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), as it is called, is a bizarre phenomenon all by itself. ..." arstechnica.com/science/news/2011/09/making-materials-transparent-by-introducing-it-to-the-void.ars

"Who holds the largest gold reserves?" Michael Sanibel, 11:47, Friday 9 September 2011 "Between 1816 and 1931, the pound was linked to the value of gold, so £1 would always be worth 7.3g of 22-carat gold. That much gold would be worth more than £230 today. Other countries — including the US, France and Germany — also linked their currencies to the price of gold (meaning, for example, £1 would always buy you exactly $4.85 while both were linked to gold) with the last direct link between gold and a currency (in Switzerland) abandoned in 2000. But while the gold standard has been removed, the metal is still stockpiled around the world. Here's a look at the 10 largest gold reserves on the planet — along with where the UK ranks — according to the World Gold Council report in August 2011." .... "Currently the UK has the 17th largest gold reserves in the world, but the total amount we currently stock is lower than the amount of gold we decided to sell in 1999. Seeing that the price of gold had been steadily falling for years, Gordon Brown made the decision to sell off 395 tonnes from the national reserve, at an average price of $276.6 an ounce, and invest the money elsewhere. It turned out to be a bad call, to say the least, with the gold price consistently rising since then and traders even referring to the generational low in the gold price as the "Brown bottom". At the time of writing, gold costs more than $1,800 an ounce, six-and-a-half times as much as when the decision to sell was made, meaning we missed out on close to $20 billion." uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/Who-holds-largest-gold-yahoofinanceuk-3946231895.htmlwww.youtube.com/watch?v=xmHt5UEL9sI&feature=relatedwww.youtube.com/watch?v=7iPaiylUYW0Mod: found better vid.
