For the most part, we’re all happy if we can get Internet that’s fast enough to stream some HD video. But faster is always better, and a new, world-record setting network developed in Germany is so blazing fast you wouldn’t know what to do with it. It can deliver multiple HD films in a second.

Developed by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, the new 40Gbps Wi-Fi (40x faster than Google Fiber) not only managed to nail crazy speeds, but also did it over a distance of .6 miles. The catch is that it’d never work well in your house.

The jump in speed and distance is not only thanks to state-of-the-art hardware, but a higher frequency (240GHz) than your typical Wi-Fi setup uses (2.4GHz or 5 GHz). This space seems to be a sweet spot for non-interference, letting signals dash across the air pretty easily, but a frequency so high would be very very easily thwarted by the common wall. And here in the States, the FCC might have something to say about it.

The network was tested by beaming data from the top of one skyscraper to another, and chances are this kind of "invisible fiber" connection would be its biggest application, as opposed to your home Wi-Fi. Still, it could be super useful for ‘net distribution in rural area’s where fiber’s an expensive proposition with little pay off. Now if only they could roll out this tech as fast as it can transfer data. [Karlsruhe Institute of Technology via Discovery]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – An elite U.S. Navy SEAL was killed and seven service members were injured in a vehicle accident during a training exercise at Fort Knox, Kentucky, the Navy said on Friday.

Special Warfare Operator Third Class Jonathan Kaloust, 23, of Massapequa, New York, died when the Humvee in which he was riding overturned at 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, said Lieutenant David Lloyd, a spokesman for East Coast-based Navy Special Warfare Group 2.

Seven people received minor injuries and six of the eight people in the Humvee were SEALs, which is an acronym for sea, air, land. The cause of the accident is under investigation, Lloyd said.

The deadly training accident was at least the second in the United States since March, when a mortar explosion killed seven Marines and injured eight service members in Nevada.

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) ? Carl Edwards captured the pole for the Sprint All-Star race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Edwards, the 2011 winner in the exhibition event, completed three laps and a four-tire pit stop Friday night in 1 minute, 51.297 seconds.

Kurt Busch will start alongside Edwards on the front row Saturday night. Greg Biffle, Kyle Busch and Joe Logano round out the top five.

For the first time since 2000, NASCAR waived the pit-road speed limit, allowing drivers to enter and leave the pits at high rates of speed.

That caused problems for several drivers.

Defending All-Star race champion Jimmie Johnson was among a handful of drivers who skidded past his pit stop when his breaks locked up. He was forced to back up, losing valuable time.

Johnson will start 18th.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday he saw a good opportunity for progress towards ending the division of Cyprus, a move that could further the exploitation of natural gas and oil in the eastern Mediterranean.

The island has been divided since a Greek Cypriot coup was followed by a Turkish invasion of the north in 1974. Turkey keeps some 30,000 troops in the north and is the only nation to recognize the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

Efforts to reunite the island have repeatedly failed, but Turkish officials say the election in February of President Nicos Anastasiades, who backed a 2004 U.N. plan to resolve the division, presents the best hope in years of reaching a deal.

“We believe that there is a lot of opportunity to reach an agreement on the Cyprus issue, and this is an area which we continue to focus on,” Erdogan said at a news conference with U.S. President Barack Obama during a trip to Washington.

Anastasiades backed the 2004 plan proposed by then-U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, even though a majority of his Greek Cypriot compatriots rejected it in a referendum shortly before the island joined the European Union.

The Turkish Cypriots in the north backed Annan’s proposal.

“We’re optimistic, we’re working for a solution and we are asking the United States to apply diplomatic support to this as well,” a Turkish official said ahead of talks between Erdogan and Obama.

Turkey itself began EU entry talks in 2005, a year after Cyprus was admitted, but its bid has been blocked by the intractable dispute over the island, as well as by longstanding opposition from core EU members Germany and France.

The Mediterranean island concluded a 10 billion euro ($13 billion) bailout deal with the euro zone and the International Monetary Fund in April to stave off bankruptcy.

Development of its offshore Aphrodite gas field, which may contain 5 trillion to 8 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas, could reverse its financial fortunes. But Turkey has strongly warned it against exploiting the gas before a settlement is reached.

Turkey has meanwhile drilled exploratory onshore oil wells on the north of the island that have shown traces of hydrocarbons, further exacerbating the tensions.

Abortion rights activists filed the first legal challenges Wednesday against North Dakota?s draconian new anti-abortion laws. According to the Associated Press, attorneys for the Center for Reproductive Rights filed a lawsuit in state court challenging a state law requiring that physicians who perform abortions obtain hospital admitting privileges.

North Dakota?s current anti-abortion laws are among the most restrictive in the country. Representatives of the state?s sole remaining clinic that performs abortions, the Red River Women?s Clinic in downtown Fargo, argue that the admitting privileges law could make abortion functionally illegal in the state.

So few abortions require hospitalization, say clinicians, that most care providers who perform them do not have hospital admitting privileges.

Nancy Northrup, CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights said in a statement, ?With their relentless campaign to end safe and legal abortion in North Dakota, lawmakers have effectively told the women of their state, ?We don?t care about your health, we don?t care about your safety, and we sure don?t care about your constitutional and human rights.??

?Our message back to politicians hostile to reproductive rights in North Dakota and nationwide is crystal clear: We are going to fight back relentlessly against your attacks on the women of your state,? she said.

North Dakota Attorney General General Stenehjem has vowed to fight the rights activists just as tirelessly on behalf of the state.

?This is a significant case, but we have lawyers in our office who handle controversial and complicated cases all the time,? he told the AP. ?We will zealously advocate as lawyers are required to do for our client.?

The hospital privileges law is one of a brace of anti-choice measures signed into law by Gov. Jack Dalrymple (R) and the Republican led state legislature. Like many who oppose women?s right to choose, state Republicans are attempting a de facto overthrow of the Supreme Court?s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling by way of spurious taxes, regulations and requirements for reproductive health centers where abortions are performed.

The Center for Reproductive Freedom lawsuit is just the first of many planned by rights groups seeking to have the new laws declared unconstitutional. Attorneys for the Center and for Red River are preparing two more suits, one challenging North Dakota?s ban on abortions once a fetal heartbeat has been detected, which could be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy, before many women even realize that they are pregnant.

Red River?s director Tammi Kromenaker said in a statement, ?Our clinic has been providing safe abortion care and other essential reproductive health care services to North Dakota women for nearly 15 years and we have never been more committed to staying open for our patients than we are today. Without our clinic, women in North Dakota and many surrounding states would be forced to travel hundreds of miles to other states just to get a legal medical procedure.?

ASUS’ Fonepad has been making its way around the world with a 1.2GHz Intel Atom Z2420 processor and 16GB of built-in storage, but apparently there’s a need for covering one’s face with a beefier version. Announced in Taiwan earlier today, the 7-inch tabletphone will be offered with a faster 1.6GHz Z2460 plus 32GB of memory (with microSD expansion as before). This new model will retail for NT$10,900 locally, which works out to be about US$360; whereas the original model will still be available for NT$8,990 or about US$300 (which is, by the way, a tad more expensive than the UK price). We’ll let you know when ASUS comes back with more information regarding availability in other regions.

MOSCOW (AP) ? The U.S. Ambassador to Russia has been summoned by the Russian foreign ministry in connection with an alleged spy detention in Moscow.

Michael McFaul entered the ministry’s building in central Moscow Wednesday morning and left half an hour later without saying a word to journalists waiting outside the compound.

Russia’s Federal Security Service said Tuesday that it briefly detained Ryan Fogle, a third secretary at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, who was carrying special technical equipment, disguises, written instructions and a large sum of money. Fogle was later handed over to U.S. Embassy officials.

The detention of Fogle appeared to be the first case of an American diplomat publicly accused of spying in about a decade and seemed certain to put further strain on relations between the two countries.

NEW YORK (AP) ? Global health officials say a deadly new respiratory virus related to SARS has apparently spread from patients to two health care workers in eastern Saudi Arabia.

They say the virus has likely already spread person-to-person in some circumstances, including between patients in France. But the confirmed spread to health care workers is new.

Since September last year, 40 people have been sickened by the virus. Twenty of them have died, in France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar and the United Kingdom.

The new virus has been compared to SARS, a pneumonia that began to appear in Southeast Asia in late 2002 and erupted into a deadly international outbreak early 2003. Spread of the virus in hospitals was a key development in that outbreak.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) ? What do you do when two candidates running for mayor in the Philippines get exactly the same number of votes? You get them to toss a coin.

Marvic Feraren and Boyet Py both received 3,236 votes for mayor of San Teodoro town in Mindoro Oriental province in Monday’s elections.

The Elections Commissions suggested the two men flip a coin five times each, which is allowed under the country’s Election Code to break a tie.

Feraren won Tuesday, but not before a second round of coin flipping.

They tied in the first round too.
