the tanker's three escorts, the USS Joyce,
saw it on sonar and severely damaged it by dropping depth charges.The
Germans, forced to surface, manned their deck guns while another escort
vessel, the USS Gandy, returned fire and rammed the U-boat. The third
escort, the USS Peterson, then hit the U-boat with two more depth
charges. The crew abandoned the submarine, but not before setting off explosions
to scuttle it. The submarine hadn't been seen again until Monday.The U-550
is one of several World War II-era German U-boats that have been
discovered off the U.S. coast, but it's the only one that went
down in that area, Mazraani said. He said it's been tough to
find largely because military positioning of the battle was imprecise, and
searchers had only a general idea where the submarine was when it
sank. Kozak noted that the site is far offshore and has only
limited windows of good weather.The team towed a side-scan sonar vessel
in a mow-the-lawn pattern over the search area and found the U-500
after covering 100 square miles of ocean, between the trip this year
and last year, Kozak said.Just the nose of U-boat was visible on
sonar on the first pass, but the team was delirious after the
second pass. when the sonar image made it obvious they'd found it,
Mazraani said. Quick dives to the wreck to beat bad weather confirmed
the find with pictures.The other team members were Steve Gatto, Tom Packer,
Brad Sheard, Eric Takakjian and Anthony Te

You've heard the old saying, "Familiarity breeds contempt."
When it comes to technology, I'm not sure if contempt is the
right word. Perhaps it's better to say, "Familiarity breeds indifference."
Well, it's time to bring back some of the wonder. I've rounded
up seven amazing things you didn't know your smartphone could do."Did I
hear that right?" We've all had moments where we're sure we misheard
something someone said. Or someone said something hilarious and we wish
we had a recording.Well, now you can pull audio from the past.
No, I'm not saying your phone can time travel - yet.Heard for
iPhone is always recording using your smartphone's microphone. At any time,
you can save audio from up to 5 minutes in the past.Don't
miss your baby's first words or the name of that important client
again.Many people blame technology for their lack of sleep. Staring at a
screen confuses your brain about the time of day. Your phone buzzes
from incoming text messages and wakes you up throughout the night.Well,
technology can be a solution as well. Give Sleep Time for iPhone
and Android a shot.You start by placing it on your mattress before
you go to bed. The phone's accelerometer detects your movements during the
night and figures out your sleep patte

National Finance Chairwoman Jane Stetson, who raised $2.43 million for Obama,
is in line for the coveted Paris post, which would knock out
Vogue editor-in-chief Anne Wintour, who raised $2.68 million and purportedly
wanted either the London or Paris diplomatic positions.Beyond Wintour, the
most talked about potential ambassadorship is Caroline Kennedy to Japan.Kennedy,
daughter of President Kennedy, certainly has the political pedigree and
ranks among the presidents biggest fundraisers and political supporters.
However, critics argue that her lack of experience in elected office makes
her a risky choice as Japan remains a crucial ally in trying
to maintain stability in the Korean Peninsula.Still, Dartmouth government
professor Jennifer Lind argues Kennedys stature give her extraordinary access
to the president and that her fathers unconventional decision in the
1960s to appoint Harvard professor Edwin O. Reischauer to the Tokyo post
helped knit two countries once dismissed as impossible allies.The Foreign
Service union, while not directly criticizing Kennedy or Obama, told FoxNews.com
this spring that it does not support such appointments and that the
rate of political appointees to ambassadorships for Japan and major European
countries is as high as 85 percent.The sale of ambassadorships and rewards
for political support basically suggests we really dont value diplom

(AFP) Algeria's public prosecutor on Sunday demanded the death penalty
for two men on trial for abducting and murdering two boys aged
nine and 10, the news agency APS reported.The prosecutor said a third
man accused of not alerting the police about the kidnapping that occurred
in March should be handed a life sentence, the national news agency
said.The boys were strangled to death and their bodies found on Tuesday
inside plastic shopping bags not far from their home in the city
of Constantine, east of Algiers.Their brutal death triggered a national
outcry.Two men were arrested hours after the bodies were found and admitted
their responsibility, officials have said.The abduction of children in Algeria
has been on the rise, according to official estimates which indicated that
31 children were kidnapped in the past year compared to four in
2008.
