By no means am I giving up hope,  he said Wednesday.        Police said the suspects stole a tow truck and drove it into the museum s rear door, then used lead pipes to break open three Plexiglas cases. The bandits were in the museum less than five minutes, police estimated.Among the stolen inventory: a gold-plated handgun, a custom scarf, a bracelet and watch, Presley s Humes High School ring from 1953 and a Louisiana Hayride  E. Presley Day  ring from 1956.Davidson s personal favorite was an  E.P  diamond pendant and chain, and a ruby and diamond star-shaped ring Presley bought in Las Vegas for $75,000. Those two pieces, I m crushed over,  Davidson said.  It s devastating.             Davidson, who opened the museum in November 1999, purchased the items from auctions and Presley s former bodyguards, friends and acquaintances.

 The west wall of the Pentagon is flawless these days.

Some 1,600 people already have met Friday s deadline to register for a design competition. Proposals must be submitted by Sept. 11, with a winner announced on Dec. 23.

Not so, say a pair of physicists who have just taken it upon themselves to reformulate an integral facet of general relativity: the cosmological constant.     Will the universe end in a Big Rip   Albert Einstein had to add the idea of the cosmological constant  i.e. the value of the uniform energy density that permeates the vacuum of space  to his theory of general relativity as a way to explain why the universe wasn ;t collapsing in on itself and why it appeared to be static. More recently, because the universe appears to be expanding, the cosmological constant had to be given a non-zero value.

 Theres been a lot of talk recently about using supercomputers to simulate the human brain.

 With Polaroid out of the picture, Fujifilm has been making moves in recent years to own instant photography鈥攚ha stanley mugs t   left of it anyway鈥攚ith its Instax line of cameras, printers, and film. Today, it makes a play at a niche of the instant market with a larger format camera that pops stanley thermos mug  out wide photos.     The Instax Wide 300 takes 86mm x 108mm film that   double the size of the film in last year   Instax Min stanley thermos mug i 90. The actual image area is 62mm x 99mm. For reference, the Polaroid 600 film the Impossible Project so diligently recreated measures 88mm x 107mm with a 79mm x 79mm image. So while the Wide 300 film will be big like you remember, it   not that familiar square you stuck on your fridge. Instead, it   a wider shot, which in fairness might be better suited to our HD format screens. Like the Mini 90, the Wide 300 is basically a modern take on a classic. Larger format instant photography has been a staple amongst professionals  as diverse as dentists and designers, who need physical shots on the fly. But beyond the pros Fujifilm hints at, the camera could do well amongst the people racing back to lo-fi analog photography in recent years as well. We ;ll see if the wide format takes. At $130, the Instax Wide 300 isn ;t too expensive, but it might be a tad more than an the weekend warrior wants to drop on a novelty, especially when a twin pack of 20 exposures costs $32.

 Back in 2010, the Pentagon established cyber command to wage war and defen stanley cup d America s computer systems. It s a top priority for Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta.

The Secretary told CBS News cyber war is one of his biggest worries. Panetta:  The reality is that there is the cyber capability to basically bring down our power grid to create ... to paralyze our financial system in this country to virtually paralyze our country. And I think we have to be prepared not only to defend against that kind of attack but if necessary we are going to have to be prepared to be able to be aggressive when it comes to cyber efforts as well. We ve got to develop the technology, the capability, we ve got to be able to defend this country.

After the massive success of The Lego Movie, the studio has scheduled  stanley cup two new films from its animation think-tank. Neither have titles yet, but they ;ll both be in 3D. One is set for Feb 10, 2017 and the other will be released on Feb 9, 2018. And considering The Lego Movie came out on February 7, it seems Warner Bros. has a thing for that window.
