Georgia Tech University has been invited to be a part of the prestigious Association of American Universities, becoming its 63rd member and its first new addition in almost a decade.

According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, Georgia Tech lobbied the association for an invitation, stressing their contributions to scientific research, and the group eventually took notice after garnering a significant amount of research money:

The AAU extended the invitation after studying Georgia Tech for several years, said the association’s president, Robert M. Berdahl. “Georgia Tech has clearly emerged as a very, very strong research and graduate institution,” Mr. Berdahl said. Before Georgia Tech, the two most recent admissions were the State University of New York at Stony Brook and Texas A&M University, both in 2001.

AAU affiliation has become a standard thumbnail definition of the prominence of a research institution. The eligibility criteria include objective factors such as the amount of federal grants and the number of faculty awards and research citations. Georgia Tech pulled in $281.2-million in federal research money in 2008, the most recent year for which figures are available, according to the National Science Foundation. That was the second-largest total of any comprehensive American academic institution that was not an AAU member.

The association was founded in 1900 to promote U.S. research universities to the world, and concentrates on issues related to research-intensive universities.

NASA’s STEREO spacecraft has captured spectacular images of a solar eruption, the largest solar prominence in 15 years.

The activity was caught on camera in extreme UV light as the prominence blasted away from the sun on April 12 and April 13.

Prominences are cool clouds of plasma that hover above the Sun’s surface, notoriously unstable and on occasion they erupt like this one. However, this one was much more dramatic than most, NASA says.

NASA pieced together images to create this amazing video clip, showing about 19 hours of activity.

The former Miss Universe, who has been a part of successful comedies like ‘Partner’ and ‘No Entry’, said that there are many who think that she is too intelligent for comedy.”People think that I am this cerebral person because I have been the Miss Universe. They think I am too intelligent for comedy. But I enjoy doing comedy the best, it is my favourite genre,” said the actress who was in the city to promote her upcoming film ‘Do Knot Disturb’ where she plays a ditzy supermodel having an affair with a much married Govinda.The actress seemed so keen to ditch the “intellectual tag” that she went on to say that her character is rather close to life.”I play Dolly, a supermodel, I can use the word pin-up for her. Govinda is her sugar daddy, though he already has a wife. My character is a naive girl. And I am sort of like that in real life,” said the actress.The film which will release on October 2, marks the reunion of the comic duo of actor Govinda and director David Dhawan and Lara is excited about working with them again after their earlier hit collaboration ‘Partner’, which was released in 2007. “I have worked with Govinda and David earlier and we had a ball while shooting for the film as I have also worked with Riteish earlier. All of us clicked and had fun shooting,” said the actress.But what about her equation with co-star and fellow Miss Universe Sushmita Sen.”Sushmita is a very classy, sophisticated lady and she is great to work with,” said Lara dismissing reports which claimed that the two were at loggerheads because of the prominence given to Dutta in the film and it’s publicity material.After her head turning role as supermodel Dolly, Lara has no plans to deglam as her bikini act in ‘Blue’ has already created a buzz.
