Ingenious Dutch research center boasts one patent created 'every 20 minutes'

The city responsible for the first solar-powered family car and a building shaped like a UFO is no stranger to creativity. Eindhoven, Netherlands was recently named "most inventive city" by Forbes magazine, probably thanks to the High Tech Campus (HTC) research and development center located there. The HTC is the result of the Dutch government's initiative to bolster high-tech innovation in the region after rounds of layoffs from companies like Philips. Scads of tech firms are holed up within HTC's walls including IBM, Intel and Accenture, with a focus on open cooperation and sharing of ideas and resources. Apparently, this has paid off in spades. According to the HTC's website, the campus is responsible for roughly 50 percent of the Netherlands' almost 10,000 patents each year. Yowza.

Two missing from wedding party after New York boat accident

(Reuters) - Two people were missing on Saturday after a boat with a wedding party aboard struck a barge on the Hudson River near New York City, and four others were taken to a hospital with injuries, local authorities and CNN said.

The sheriff's office of Rockland County, New York said the boat hit a construction barge on Friday night below the Tappan Zee bridge, a major transportation link across the Hudson River.

The people taken to a hospital had head injuries and one of them was unconscious when rescued from the badly-damaged boat, said Robert Vancura, of the Rockland County Sheriff's office.

The two missing were a bride-to-be whose wedding was scheduled to be in two weeks, and the best man, CNN reported, quoting a family member.

Police said they suspended the search for the missing overnight but resumed this morning.

The Journal News newspaper said the vessel was a 21-foot (6.4-metre) power boat.

India: Army Mistook Planets for Spy Drones

India: Army Mistook Planets for Spy Drones

Maybe these guys should get out more and look at the sky occasionally to avoid international border wars. The Indian Army has been monitoring what they thought to be Chinese spy drones for six months and accused China of incursions into India. Cooler heads prevailed when it was discovered the ?drones? were actually Jupiter and Venus.

"Our task was to determine whether these unidentified objects were celestial or terrestrial," astronomer Tushar Prabhu told the paper. Only once the objects' movements were noted in relation to the stars were they identified as planets.

Hester, Johnson race vs. cheetah - Spokesman.com - July 27, 2013

Chris Johnson refuses to spoil the ending, so everyone will just have to tune in come November to see how he fared against a?cheetah.

The Titans running back and Chicago receiver Devin Hester took part in the human versus animal race for a cable TV?special.

While most people don?t give Hester or Johnson much of chance against a cheetah, Johnson says he ran at full?speed.

Chris Johnson refuses to spoil the ending, so everyone will just have to tune in come November to see how he fared against a?cheetah.

The Titans running back and Chicago receiver Devin Hester took part in the human versus animal race for a cable TV?special.

While most people don?t give Hester or Johnson much of chance against a cheetah, Johnson says he ran at full?speed.

?It was a cheetah,? Johnson said Friday with a laugh. ?I had?to.?

A year ago, some didn?t give Johnson a chance against defenses; he was repeatedly questioned whether he had lost a step, or more, coming off the worst season of his career in 2011. He responded by running for 1,243 yards in his third-best season?yet.

And about that speed ? Johnson scored three touchdowns of 80 yards or longer. He now has six such TDs in his career, twice as many as any other player in NFL history. So racing a cheetah for National Geographic?s Nat Geo Wild may help Johnson send a pre-emptive message before the season opens Sept. 8 in?Pittsburgh.

?I haven?t lost any speed,? Johnson said. ?I?m just ready to really get back on the field and continue to play this?game.?

Quick?kicks

The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to terms on a five-year deal with No. 1 overall pick Eric Fisher. ? Washington Redskins defensive end Jarvis Jenkins has been suspended for four games without pay for violating the NFL?s policy on performance enhancing substances. ? Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he was ?shocked? when his friend Ryan Braun admitted he violated baseball?s rules against using performance- enhancing substances. ? Packers cornerback Casey Hayward, who led NFL rookies last season with a team-high six interceptions, may miss two weeks of training camp because of a hamstring injury. ? New York Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes says he ?can?t answer? whether he will be able to return to the field for the team this season as he recovers from a serious foot injury. ? Offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie joined his Baltimore Ravens teammates on the field after missing the first day of training camp for being overweight. ? Bengals All-Pro receiver A.J. Green has a bruised knee and will miss several days of?practice.
