The quantity of tropical storms developed yearly in the Atlantic Ocean have doubled in the last century, some scientists said.
Those increments coincide with a increment of the temperature in the sea surface, due largely to the atmosphere warming caused by industrial gases, the researchers Greg J. Holland y Peter J. Webster said. Their discoveries were published online on last Sunday in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London magazine.
But an official at the National (US) Hurricane Center called this research as “sloppy science” and he said that the reason for the increment is an improvement in the technology of the instruments and devices that are used to examine the storms.
Between 1905 and 1930, the Atlantic-Gulf Coast area averaged six tropical storms per year, and four of these became hurricanes. Now the average is close to 15 storms with eight of these cataloged as hurricanes.

Sometimes Social Networks seem dominated by the younger people, even children who spend hours and hours in front of a computer for chatting, reading / sending email, playing video games, or downloading MP3 or videos and buying items with the daddy’s Mastercard.
And although nowadays the new generations have some big opportunities that other people did not have in the past, Internet is for all and the older people have a place for them, too. Even, nowadays many successful projects on Internet are managed by the Baby Boomers (were born 1942 to 1953) and Generation Jones (born 1954 to 1965). Boomj is a website for these generations.
We can say this: Boomj is like a Facebook or MySpace for them and also have some sections about shopping, videos, travels, blogs, events, financial information, advertisements, chats and more. Boomers include approximately 16% of the adult US population and Jonesers include approximately 26% of all US adults. So, the audience could be really wide soon. The site is relatively new.
If you remember clearly Howdy Doody, Davy Crocket hats, Woodstock, the Vietnam War or maybe The Brady Bunch, Easy Bake Ovens and the 70s, then BOOMj.com is for you.

It is the 60th moon of Saturn that is the second planet with the largest tally of moons in the solar system next to Jupiter, which has 63. NASA recently revealed this discovery.
The discovery of the natural satellite was possible thanks to the “Cassini” spacecraft that orbits around of the fifth planet in the solar system. The moon has not any name yet, reported the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado.
The small satellite is only 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) wide and orbits around Saturn on a distance of 1.09 million miles (1.76 million kilometers) from the planet, approximately the half distance between the Earth and our Moon.
The discovery was named “S/2007 S 4″ and near to that, the Cassini spacecraft found other two similar satellites: Methone and Pallene are 2.4 miles wide approximately.
