Hamilton celebrates F1 victory with just two glasses of champagne!

London, Nov 4: Lewis Hamilton celebrated becoming Formula One world champion – by partying until 9am and downing only two glasses of champagne.

The 23-year-old race ace and his pop star girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger, who was trackside to witness Hamilton''s amazing victory in the Brazilian Grand Prix, were joined by his family and McLaren staff.

However, Hamilton insisted the only thing he was dizzy on was his pride at becoming the sport’s youngest world champion.

“I only had a couple of glasses of champagne,” the Mirror quoted Hamilton, as telling a press conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

“I remember sitting there towards the end of the night and a song came on, We Are The Champions by Queen.

Myanmar's Irrawaddy delta recovering 6 months after Nargis

Yangon/Singapore - Many young women in Myanmar's (Burma's) Irrawaddy delta region have stopped wearing their hair traditionally long, word goes.

Too many of them died in the metre-high floods brought on by Cyclone Nargis, because their hair got entangled in tree branches, or were strangled by their own hair as it wrapped around their neck.

Whether that is true or not is hard to verify. But hundreds of thousands were traumatised by the worst natural catastrophe the country has ever seen.

More than 138,000 lives were lost during the cyclone in May, and some 2.4 million people lost their belongings, while about 800,000 homes were destroyed.

Carla BruniLondon, Nov 4: French first lady Carla Bruni has been named ‘The Coolest Person Of The Year’ in a poll.

According to the survey, nearly one in four Brits said that the wife of President Nicolas Sarkozy was their favourite hip celeb, reports the Sun.

The 40-year-old hit headlines this year when she met the Queen and saw a nude portrait of herself fetch 45,000 pounds.

She has beaten Wuthering Heights singer Kate Bush, who won 14 per cent of votes in the survey of 4,000.

New physics might have been found at Atom Smasher’s predecessor

London, Nov 4 : The announcement by physicists that the Tevatron particle accelerator at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, which is the Large Hadron Collider’s (LHC’s) predecessor, has produced particles that they are unable to explain, could be a sign of new physics.

The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) monitors the particles that spew from collisions between protons and anti-protons, which are accelerated and smashed head-on by the Tevatron.

The collision occurs inside the 1.5-centimetre-wide “beam pipe” that confines the protons and anti-protons, and the particles created are tracked by surrounding layers of electronics.

Cosmic ‘fireballs’ to dazzle the skies this week

London, Nov 4: A dazzling display of cosmic ‘fireballs’ will light up the sky this week, in the form of an unusually good Taurid meteor shower.

Meteors are bits of dust or rock that plunge into Earth’s atmosphere at high speed, producing a glowing trail as they heat up gas particles.

The Taurid meteors originate in a stream of cometary debris that encircles the Sun. The debris was probably shed by a large, ancient comet that disintegrated to create the Taurid stream, as well as an existing comet called 2P/Encke.

According to a report in New Scientist, the Earth began cutting across the broad dust trail in October, but it will cross the densest parts of the stream on November 5 and 12.
