Proposed new city of Istanbul premiers in animated video. January 9, 2008 Proposed new city of Istanbul premiers in animated video WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Istanbul is at such high risk for a devastating earthquake that engineers at Purdue University and the Republic of Turkey have come up with a bold new proposal: build a second city. A second, satellite city would provide immediate refuge to inhabitants of the old city in the event of a catastrophic earthquake and soften such an event's effects on the nation's economy. Purdue researchers have created a 3-D fly-through animation showing what the proposed new city would look like. The five-minute animation was produced using new technology developed by the Office of Information Technology at Purdue.
Mete Sozen, Purdue's Kettelhut Distinguished Professor of Civil Engineering, says building a satellite city from scratch has several advantages. "It is exciting to think about building a new city using completely new technologies," he says. Such an earthquake would be especially devastating to Istanbul.

Astounding 49 Million-Year-Old Face of Spider Frozen in Amber - FoxNews.com. This is Eusprassus crassipes, a fossil huntsman spider in almost 50 million-year-old Baltic amber (shown in inset), as revealed by modern techniques of X-ray computed tomography.A.
McNeal, University of Manchester It's a face only a mother spider could love. The latest computer-imaging technology has produce this stunning three-dimensional picture of a spider trapped for 49 million years in an opaque piece of fossilized amber resin. University of Manchester researchers, working with colleagues in Germany, created the intricate images using X-ray computed tomography to study the remarkable spider, which can barely be seen under the microscope in the old and darkened amber. Writing in the international journal Naturwissenscaften, the scientists showed that the amber fossil -- housed in the Berlin Natural History Museum -- is a member of a living genus of the Huntsman spiders (Sparassidae), a group of often large, active, free-living spiders that are hardly ever trapped in amber.
