Iceman 'killed by asteroid'

(ANSA) - Bergamo, June 4 - The prehistoric mummy known as the Iceman was either killed by an asteroid or during a ritual sacrifice, a lecturer at England's Bristol University believes. Addressing a conference attended by experts from five Italian universities, Space Technology Professor Mark Hempsell said he believed new evidence of an asteroid landing could be linked to the Iceman's death. Hempsell, who spent five years deciphering and translating an Assyrian tablet discovered in northern Iraq in the 19th century, said it provided evidence of the hit. ''The tablet bears the diary of an astronomer, who described what he saw in the sky that day,'' Hempsell explained.

Nik Launches Silver Efex Pro B&W Conversion Software

Editor's Note: We recently saw a demo of the new Silver Efex Pro plug-in from Nik Software and left thinking -- why aren't there more professional B&W conversion plug-ins out there like this one? While there are some pretty decent B&W tools in Photoshop itself, we really liked what we saw from Silver Efex Pro, especially that it didn't sacrifice ease-of-use for control. Indeed, Nik's very helpful "U Point" technology is once again used in Silver Efex Pro, giving you many ways to selectively tweak tone and contrast in your images during B&W conversion.
