The brand new commercial Falcon 9 rocket experienced an unexpected glitch just before liftoff during its first flight test Friday, stalling what was to be its maiden launch.
The Falcon 9 rocket, built by private company Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX), was slated to blast off at 1:30 p.m. EDT (1530 GMT) from its seaside launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. An unknown glitch caused the rocket to abort launch just before its planned liftoff.
“There still may be a chance to recycle the count and try again today,” SpaceX commentator Robyn Raguette said.
All systems initially appeared to function as designed, though the launch was delayed past an initial 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT) target by a series of issues. A problem with the telemetry system, which enables the launch team to track the rocket from afar. SpaceX was able to resolve that issue by moving a strongback structure on the launch pad that was blocking the signal.
The system is made up of a series of small explosives that could be used to deliberately destroy the rocket if it careened out of control and threatened cities and towns surrounding Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Once the final approvals are given and related documentation is completed, the California-based company will be cleared to launch the Falcon 9 from Launch Complex 40 at the Air Force base.
SpaceX holds a $1.6 billion NASA contract to launch 15 Falcon 9 flights — three test flights and 12 missions to deliver cargo to the International Space Station. Contract options could increase the value of the deal to $3.1 billion.

Inter Milan defender Maicon is happy to stay at European champions but has admitted he would be interested in following Jose Mourinho to Real Madrid if the coach wants him.
Mourinho appears certain to take charge at the Bernabeu after leading Inter to European glory there on Saturday, and Maicon, 28, is known to be a favourite of the Portuguese.
To leave Inter?,” Maicon said. “I have a contract and I want to respect it. “If he (Mourinho) wants me at Real, then we would have to see if (Inter president Massimo) Moratti agrees.”
I want to become the only coach to win the Champions League with three different clubs. I’m not leaving Inter, I’m leaving Italy,” Mourinho said after Inter’s 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich on a melodramatic night, thus confirming an open secret. A European champion with Porto six years ago, Mourinho joined Ernst Happel and Ottmar Hitzfeld as the only coaches to win this competition with rival clubs. “The Champions League I won at Porto was my last game there and this time it will almost certainly be my last game for Inter,” he added. His flag is already planted in the Bernabéu’s soil.
The sporting story of this final was an immortal display of finishing by Diego Milito, the Inter striker, but of course all eyes fell on a man who had not played but who masterminded a treble of Serie A, Coppa Italia and European Champions’ Cup. He gave them what they craved and will now leave to continue his own amazing voyage.
All the pent-up yearning from 45 years of waiting erupted from the bench as Howard Webb, the English referee, blew time and Inter’s players sprinted off in all directions to express their exultation. This time Mourinho made sure he enjoyed the deliverance. There was none of the careerist reticence that had characterised his first Champions League win with Porto. Then, Mourinho stood apart from the celebrations because he knew he was scuttling off to Chelsea. Six years on he threw himself into the rejoicing, hoisting his son on his shoulders and soaking up the love of the crowd.

The U.K.’s Duchess of York was caught on camera in a News of the World sting revealed Sunday, apparently offering to sell access to her former husband, Prince Andrew.
Sarah Ferguson, 50, allegedly asked an undercover reporter posing as a wealthy businessman for a $40,000 cash down payment in return for an introduction to the Prince, as well as a $724,000 fee wired directly into her bank account.
Ferguson also insisted on a one percent commission from any deals the businessman worked out as a result of her royal connections.
The duchess claimed to have discussed the terms with her former husband, saying, “Andrew said to me, ‘tell him £500,000.’”
According to a Sunday newspaper report, Sarah Ferguson promised to introduce an undercover reporter posing as a wealthy businessman to the Prince, who has been the UK’s special representative for international trade and investment since 2001.

The paper claims she was filmed on Tuesday night accepting a 40,000 dollar cash down-payment and it quotes her as saying: “I can open any door you want.”
She was filmed telling him how to transfer £500,000 to her UK bank account and said: ‘Then that, is then like, then you open up all the channels whatever you need, whatever you want, and then that’s what and then you meet Andrew and that’s fine. And that’s, that’s when you really open up whatever you want.’
The paper said that, despite the Prince knowing nothing about the deal, the Duchess claimed to have discussed it with him: ‘Andrew said to me, “Tell him £500,000″.
‘He knows that he’s had to underwrite me up to now because I’ve got no money. So if you want to meet him in your business, look after me and he’ll look after you … you’ll get it back tenfold.’
But then the Duchess insisted he ‘is completely whiter than white’ as she explained how the Prince meets the ‘the most amazing people’ in his role as special representative.
In a taped interview, recorded in a Mayfair apartment last Tuesday and placed on the paper’s website today, Ferguson is seen telling the man she supposed was a foreign businessman that she could obtain him access to the prince, who acts as a quasi-official British trade envoy, promoting deals and agreements for UK companies around the world.
Demanding a payment of £500,000 to be wired to her HSBC account, she told the reporter: “That opens up everything you would ever wish for and I can open any door you want and I will for you. Look after me and he’ll look after you … 
You’ll get it back tenfold.”
Ferguson is not the first member of the royal family to fall foul of the fake sheikh. Sophie, Countess of Wessex, wife of the Queen’s third son, Prince Edward, was caught in 2001 tapping him up, using her royal connections, as a potential client for the public relations company which she then ran.

The Unthinkable is a much anticipated upcoming movie that has caused a lot of hype because of the trailer. The movie is set to be released in June and its trailers are all over the internet and TV. There is no official summary or prologue of the movie available yet except for the hints in the trailer. The trailer is thrilling enough to make all the movie lovers in the world go crazy. The thing that makes the movie even greater is the fact that one of the main characters of the movie is played by Samuel L Jackson.
This is definitely great news for those who have seen Samuel act. But to be honest I was expecting that Samuel would do a somewhat different role in this movie instead of the usual Shaft-like badass that he likes to play in most movies, but alas the role is exactly like that. Still it’s not bad at all because he looks good in roles like those.
The hints about the movie that are observed are that there is a terrorist who has planted three bombs in different cities of the US. The terrorist announces his act and either turns himself in or is apprehended by the FBI. After the arrest Samuel who plays the role of the badass FBI agent tries his best to use his intimidating personality and torture to obtain the locations of the bomb. Carry Ann Moss plays the role of a woman who constantly tries to protect the rights of the terrorist.

How to tell between Spanish and English bluebells
The Spaniard embodiment of the word ‘hotness’, Paz Vega (Spanglish, The Spirit) , according to Variety, is in talks to join the cast of THE JESUIT, an ensemble drama directed by Paul Schrader. If the deal’s locked in she’ll be joining Willem Dafoe, Oscar Isaac, and Michelle Rodriguez who are all also in final talks.
Spanish bluebells are stouter, taller, with wider leaves and more upright stems, and have paler blue flowers, that have, unlike English bluebells, no scent.
The finer, slightly darker stems of true English bluebells carry flowers on one side only and curve as they age.
For some time there has been a strong campaign to get rid of more robust Spanish bluebells because there is apparently evidence that they are slowly starting to knock out our native plants and that hybrids are gradually invading our woodlands. In truth, most garden bluebells are hybrids anyway
If you live in the country, especially in a bluebell woods area, it would be worth trying to clear out any obvious “aliens”, and certainly deadhead them to slow their spread and don’t plant any new ones. However, getting rid of bluebells is not easy.
Digging them out is well nigh impossible and you will leave behind bits of bulbs that will come back year after year, as well as stir up dormant seed in the soil. Some gardeners go to great lengths – crushing leaves and repeatedly using a glyphosate weed killer on them.
Yours is an urban garden and your bluebells are very likely to be hybrids – only “Spanglish”. You can spend a lot of time and energy trying to get rid of them, doing your bit for conservation – but what will you really achieve?
Prescription Drug Instructions Often Lost In Translation
Chicago Tribune: “Pharmacies that print prescription labels translated into Spanish often issue inaccurate or confusing instructions that could be potentially hazardous to a patient’s health, according to a report in the May issue of Pediatrics journal.” Such mistakes can lead to confusion among patients like 8-year-old Linda Jimenez, whose mother typically takes her to a Spanish speaking …

Tom Cruise: Daughter Suri ‘tells me what to wear”
Tom Cruise explained the secrets of daughter Suri’s style to Oprah Winfrey today on her show.
“She likes to dress herself,” said the proud papa. “If she wants to wear it, she wears it. I’m not going to tell her different. She’s got great taste. She tells me what to wear!” He also said, she “loves pink.”
When Oprah asked Tom – who was there to promote his upcoming movie Knight and Day – how Suri, 4, feels about the ever-present paparazzi, he said, “It’s been there her whole life – same with Bella and Connor (his older children). She’s such a happy, easy fun girl. She just deals with it.” He added, “We don’t make it a problem. We don’t get nervous about it.”
Does Suri realize her dad’s a movie star? Yes, said Cruise. After all, she is growing up on movie sets. “She’s excellent on the set. She’ll tell people to be quiet on the set. She has headphones and watches the scenes and gives me notes afterward – the thumbs up.”
Oprah asked about Cruise’s older kids and dating. Of Isabella, 17, Cruise said, “She’s a good girl. So whoever she likes is cool. Bella has very strong sense of herself.”
