 CBS News Consultant Hoda Osman  wrote this story for CBSNews. A banner posted Sunday on a website often used by al Qaeda to release audios and videos of its leaders announces that the  second open interview  with al Q stanley thermos aeda s Ayman al Zawahri will soon be posted. The logo of al Sahab, al Qaeda s self-d stanley tumbler escribed  media production company,  and a picture of al Zawahri, al Qaeda s second-in-command, appear on the banner. The interview will likely be posted in the form of a transcript.Al Zawahri s last statement was an audio tape posted on the same website last Friday. In the tape, al Zawahri called the Iraq war a  failure  which will be passed on to the next U.S. president. The new banner refers to the upcoming Zawahri interview as another surprise, apparently in reference to two statements being released so close to each other. Yasser Serri, an Egyptian Islamist and an expert on Islamist movements, believes this interview was conducted in early April, at the same time as  part one  of the series entitled  open meeting  with al Zawahri. Serri thinks that by releasing this interview in two parts, al  stanley cup Qaeda is trying to stay in touch with its followers for recruitment and incitement purposes.  Just as a newspaper or a television station, they are trying to capitalize on this interview and use it as much as they can,  said Serri.

 The world   largest wind turbine is off the coast of Scotland. Construction started in 2012, with pieces assembled in the winter of 2013. Now the prototype is churning out enough power to supply 4,800 homes.     The turbine is big enough that it makes sense to use el stanley cup ephants as the basic unit of weight.  Plus, I ;m bored of pounds, kilograms, and tons.  Each blade is 83.5 meters long, stretching the length of over a dozen elephants tail-to-trunk but weighing in at only three elephants apiece. The nacelle 鈥?the piece that houses all the generating components 鈥?weighs as much as 92 elephants. The whole construction stretches 196 meters above the sea, the height of 50 to 65 elephants stacked on top of each other  not accounting for strange postures as they try balance on each other   backs . The super-sized pieces meant that all stages of construction and shipping were ridiculous.

Built in Denmark, they had to wind their way over field and hil botella stanley l, and even a wee bit of ocean, before reaching the installation location in Scotland.  Calling it an offshore turbine is a bit of a technicality 鈥?the turbine stands barely 50 meters off the coast.

 The persistence of bloated U.S. trade deficits over time can pose a risk to the U.S. economy, which thus far has proven resilient, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan warned Friday. Policy-makers must not get lulled into a sense of complacency, he said.The broadest measure of trade, called the current account deficit, swelled to an all-time high of $166.2 billion in the second quarter of this year, the most recent period for which this information is available. Current account imbalances, per se, need not be a problem, but cumulative deficits ... raise more complex issues,  Greenspan said in speech in Frankfurt, Germany. A copy of his remarks was distributed in Washington.So far,  stanley cup foreigners are willing to lend the United States money to finance the current account imbalances, Greenspan pointed out. The worry, however, is that at some stanley mug  point foreigners might suddenly lose interest in holding dollar-denominated investments. That could cause foreigners to unload investments in U.S. stocks and bonds, sending their prices plunging and interest rates soaring.The sliding value of the U.S. dollar has made some private economists more concerned about this potential risk.         It seems persuasive that, given the size of the U.S. current account  stanley cup deficit, a diminished appetite for adding to dollar balances must occur at some point,  Greenspan said.  But when, through what channels and from what level of the dollars  Regrettably, no answer to those questions in convincing,  he said.

 A large-scale early warning system for California earthquakes should be rolling out soon鈥攁t least, as soon as the government funding kicks in. Until then, one of the scientists working on the prototype decided to turn his seismic knowledge into an at-home science project, designing this DIY earthquake alarm for about $110.     UC Berkeley professor Joshua Bloom is one of the beta testers for the ShakeAlert system   which will someday become t stanley quencher he statewide standard. The alert system is currently installed on handful of scientists ; laptops and was reported to give Bay Area testers about 10 seconds of warning before the 6.0 Napa quake last month. Bloom decided to hack together his own version of the early warning system with the following tools: a Raspberry Pi single-board computer  $36.39 , a wired speaker  $14.99 , a mi stanley shop ni-WiFi adapter  $6.71 , and an SD card. He stores it all in a cardboard potato chip box from the Berkeley restaurant Gregoire. It   not just for fun鈥攁lthough his first and third graders are very amused by the project鈥攈e tells Berkeleyside: Bloom hopes showing that an inexpensive earthquake alarm is as functional and reliable as the standard smoke detector might spur the state to financially support the project. Knowing it   cheap to make will get the public excited and hopefully get the legislature to fund it.

 INDIANAPOLIS Civil rights icon Ruby Bridges, who as a 6-year-old helped end public school segregation in the South, was reunited Thursday with one of the federal marshals who had escorted her past angry crowds so she could att stanley quencher end a previously all-white school.Bridges, who in 1960 became the first black child to attend an all-white school in New Orleans, met with Charles Burks at The Children s Museum of Indianapolis, which was filming the pair for its permanent exhibit called  The Power of Children.  Burks, now 91, is the only one of the four marshals who escorted Bridges to and from school who is still alive. Thank you Charlie for doing what was right at a time when it might not have been the easiest thing to do,  she told Burks.Burks said escorting Bridges to school was a highlight of his life, adding that he supported the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision that struck down segregation in public schools. Bridges was in first-grade when she started attending William Frantz Elementary School on Nov. 14, 1960, as the court-ordered integration of public schools began in New Orleans. It was a privilege to be able to do what I did, even though it was one of my duties. Everybody says it was just another job to do, but it w stanley italia as a wonderful job,  said Burks, who lives in Logansport, Ind.        Before Thursday s meeting Bridges and Burks had reunited only once, in 1995, since 1960.Bridges, now 58, s stanley bottles aid she didn t realize at the time the role she was playing in helping end segregatio Rdna Zaha Hadid Has Designed the World   s Worst Billboard
 LED lighting is great. The right bulb gives the same warm incandescent gl stanley cup ow you love from a fraction of the energy. But there   a downside: while LEDs make cities look awesome, the most common type of LED lighting dims the ultraviolet trick laundry detergents use to make white clothes look whiter. The future is bright, but it   also kind of dingy.     There   some fascinating science going on here. Many laundry detergents contain fluorescent whitening agents, or FWAs, which absorb ultraviolet light and re-emit it as a visible blue wavelength. This slightly bluish tinge helps overpower the yellowish hue of, say, a well-worn undershirt, making that nasty old rag look radiant and white. If you ;ve ever done your laundry at a blacklight rave  and who hasn ;t  , you ;ve seen FWAs in action: Pass the fabric softener and crank up the Sa stanley mugs ndstorm. Unfortunately, most of the commonly-available LED lighting today emits little or no light in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum. And as a research team led by Penn State   Dr. Kevin Houser discovered, that makes FWAs pretty much useless. In a paper published in this month   LEUKOS  the journal of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America , Dr. Houser and company asked 39 non-colorblind subjects to sort five  stanley vaso pieces of identical material based on whiteness, with each item containing a different concentration of FWAs. Under a normal halogen light, the subjects were able to order the item
