3. Thanks to New F-150, a Run on Aluminum
2014-02-13 10:20:45| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News
Ford's new aluminum-body F-150 has caused a frenzy among competitive OEMs, who are inking deals with aluminum suppliers. Since the easiest way to improve fuel economy is by reducing weight, aluminum is likely to be in high demand. And, in the short term, there's not enough aluminum to go around.

EU renews call for less US influence on Icann
2014-02-12 16:30:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The European Commission has launched a new call for improved global governance of the internet, reducing the US government's influence on Icann, the main body for controlling web domain names. The EC said the recent revelations of wide-scale surveillance of international communications by the US National Security Agency and other intelligence agencies makes it all the more urgent to ensure "transparent, accountable and inclusive governance" of the internet. The EU made a similar call in 2011 the last time Icann's agreement with the US Department of Commerce came up for renewal. Its latest statement comes as Icann's High-Level Panel on global governance meets this month to discuss proposals for widening the stakeholders involved in managing the internet. The EU backs a multistakeholder approach, under which a rotating group of non-governmental organizations, countries, academics and private sector representatives manage Icann's policies and activities. This would be supported by a commitment to improve the transparency, accountability and inclusiveness of Icann's operations and a set of principles underlining the need to maintain the "open and unfragmented" nature of the internet. After its meeting later this month, Icann's High-Level Panel will release a report for public consideration. At its next meeting in Dubai in May it will consider the feedback and publish a final report with recommendations.

Weve found the oldest star in the known universe and its right on our galactic doorstep
2014-02-12 14:13:37| Extremetech
Astronomers have discovered the oldest living star in the universe -- and, remarkably, it's situated right on our galactic doorstep, just 6,000 light years away, well within the Milky Way. The star, which has the abbreviated name of SM0313, was born 13.6 billion years ago -- just 100 or 200 million years after the Big Bang. It is believed that SM0313 is an elusive Population II star -- a star that was formed from the remnants of one of the universe's very first supernovae. By using SM0313's spectrographic fingerprint as a baseline, we will hopefully be able to find more ancient stars, eventually allowing us to build up a better picture of what actually happened during (and before?) the Big Bang.
