Warp drive. Teleportation. Wormholes. A unifying "theory of everything"--maybe. In recent years scientists have been pushing the boundaries of physics, with fascinating results. Now in this special collector's edition, SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN provides a must-have compilation of updated feature articles that explore the current edge of physics. (Some free stuff is there)

MARCH 7. Here is the interview that never happened. These are NOT the questions Dan Rather wanted to ask but didn't. These are the questions he would NEVER ask Saddam, unless he wanted CBS to erase the tape, unless he wanted his plane back to the US to crash in the ocean. Actually, Dan would never imagine asking questions like this, regardless of the consequences. That's what makes him such a great newsman.

Q: Mr. President, do you think the US and England are dissatisfied with the results of the weapons inspections because they know you have other weapons, the ones they supplied you with?

A: I'm glad you brought that up, Dan. Are you perhaps referring to the chlorine plant we bought from England, which could be used to make mustard gas?   ...more

OMAHA, Neb. -- An American Airlines pilot was arrested for allegedly making a threat while passing through an airport security checkpoint. The city prosecutor said it appeared the pilot and a federal airport security agent had an argument and the pilot referred to an ax on board the plane that could be used to chop the agent's head off.

The Air Force is readying the first airborne laser weapon, which could be used to intercept Scud missiles. Mark Farmer takes you inside the project.
`The Wall of Fire', an airborne laser designed to fit in the belly of a 747. Apparently, this is powerful and precise enough to destroy enemy intercontinental and intermediate-range missiles in mid-flight.

Scientists have set a new internet speed record by transferring 6.7 gigabytes of data across 10,978 kilometres (6,800 miles), from Sunnyvale in the US to Amsterdam in Holland, in less than one minute. Using a quantity of data equivalent to two feature-length DVD-quality movies, the transfer was accomplished at an average speed of more than 923 megabits per second, or more than 3,500 times faster than a typical home broadband connection.

There are mistakes and there are mistakes.
Some mistakes we learn from. For example: Thinking that selling toys for pets on the Web is a great way to get rich. We're not going to do that again.
Other mistakes we insist on making over and over. For example, thinking that: >>

Artificial muscle feels the weight of objects it moves
Scientists in Spain have developed a robotic finger with a sense of touch. It is made of a polymer that can feel the weight of what it's pushing and adjust the energy it uses accordingly.

The Polytechnic University of Cartagena makes their robotic finger from a 'smart polymer'. Called polypyrrole, it expands in response to electric current and conducts differently in response to changes in pressure.

Ken Ernhofer, The Christian Science Monitor
A dispute involving a genetic testing firm and the Ontario government are among cases that could determine who -- if anyone -- owns the right to what have been called the building blocks of human life.

Based in Salt Lake City, Myriad Genetics has patented mutated parts, or sequences, of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, and a test to detect those genes. In Europe, several dozen hospitals, researchers and others are already legally contesting Myriad's patent claim. Myriad moved to protect its patents by warning Canadian provinces that they should cease and desist from using any other test that employs the same genetic material, and they should pay royalties for unauthorized tests or face legal action.

Abdallah Daar, an ethicist at the University of Toronto, likens Myriad to an inventor of a mousetrap, claiming he owns any device that traps mice. "Nobody can own our genes," he says. "They are the property of us human beings."

The humble television remote control has been around since Zenith introduced the Lazy Bone remote in 1950. And now it's getting a new job: controlling everything in your home from the lights to the MP3 files on your stereo. "We call it the dashboard for the digital home,'' said Sanyal Sugata, a marketing director at Philips Electronics in Sunnyvale. "We see it becoming the cornerstone of the home.'' That may be a stretch, and marketing people have made similar statements for a long time. But the remote control is moving to a nicer neighborhood. Philips has introduced high-end Pronto remotes since 1998, but now the company has gone all out with its Internet-connected iPronto TSi 6400 remote control, which began selling last month for $1,700.
Yes, that's $1,700 for a remote control, something that usually comes free with most gear and maybe costs $20 if you want a universal remote control. >>

RECAP -- Michael Salla on Coast-to-Coast AM last night:
"I was very interested in the political aspect of the ET presence," said Michael Salla PhD, the guest on Wednesday night's show. The founder of exopolitics.org, Salla believes a "transportation device to move between time and space" known as a STARGATE was used by "the most privileged of the ET," in that area, which is now modern-day Iraq. "I think whatever technology is there, I believe Saddam Hussein is aware of it...but wouldn't know how to use it at all," Salla said. He suggested that the location of the Stargate is why the Bush administration is so interested in Iraq, and there is concern about what would happen if this technology was activated and "an advanced race of ET's suddenly starts appearing in Iraq."

Salla speculated that the Stargate could also have transformational significance. It may "represent a shift in consciousness…it might be a device or metaphor for a global energy grid," and that if human consciousness is linked to it, it could open a gateway to interdimensional travel, he said.

In a commentary on his website he also ponders whether the recent Columbia Shuttle disaster could actually be the result of a secretive clash between governments. Citing the work of scholar Zecharia Sitchin, Salla outlines how the Anunnaki, an ancient group of extraterrestrials who interacted with the Sumerians, may have brought advanced technology to their civilization. This technology might be buried in an ancient city such as Uruk (in modern day Iraq), which the German government had recently begun plans to excavate. Salla writes there may be a connection between this planned dig and Germany's refusal to participate in a preemptive war against Iraq. Further, Salla suggests that the Columbia could have been shot down as a warning not to attack Iraq, and that the conflict "may well mask a deeper desire to gain access and control of extraterrestrial technology buried in ancient Sumerian cities."

about torture
humdog
a couple years ago timothy mcveigh was executed by lethal injection in a spectacle that was broadcast over closed circuit TV. the closed circuit broadcast was viewed by a group of individuals who identified themselves as families of the victims of the oklahoma city bombings. the people who attended the executions appeared happy to tell the press that they were full of the spirit of justice and satisfaction over the event that they were about to witness. after the execution, some of the witnesses to the closed circuit execution broadcast mentioned that they felt that mr mcveigh had not suffered enough to make them as satisfied as they might have been had his execution and death agony been a little bit, shall we say, more difficult. i remember thinking at the time that i was having some difficulty telling the difference between the quiet spirit of murder and hate evidenced by the behavior of the victim families and the explosive noisy spirit of murder and hate evidenced by mcveigh's crime. it seemed to me at the time that the relatives who came to view the execution in the spirit of justice and satisfaction had entered into a kind of sharing in mcveigh's spirit of hate and murder. i couldn't exactly put my finger on it, but it bothered me.

on march 1, pakistani authorities arrested khalid shaikh mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the sept 11 world trade center bombings. since his capture, newspapers, radio, and television has been has been busy with what amounts to a discussion about the ethics of torture. when i first heard this discussion, i was somewhat surprised. i thought that torture was confined to the backrooms of banana and oil republics. i did not think that the use of torture was an option for representatives of the US, given the deep american paper committment to human rights.

when i was a little girl, my family used to go to cuba to visit my mother's parents. it is very hot in cuba in summer. my grandparents were in the habit of buying ice cream for their grandchildren in the afternoon, and they usually bought it from a particular vendor. this vendor would show up towards the middle of the afternoon and he sold coconut shells filled with coconut ice cream. we enjoyed these treats very much. one day, this man did not come to sell ice cream. he did not, in fact, ever appear again. we children had grown to like the man and so we asked about him. no one would tell us anything. finally i became so curious, i started hanging around the adults quietly, to overhear their conversations, to see if i could learn anything. after a few days, i heard an uncle say this: they came to his house at night, when he was asleep and they took him away. he asked them if he could get dressed. they said, no you don't need to get dressed. where you are going, you won't need clothing.

this memory is alive for me again as i hear the discussions of the propriety of torture sprinkled among the traffic reports as i drive to work in the mornings. people call into the radio shows and discuss how much torture is appropriate. on television people mention that of course the united states cannot really torture people, so they will send the suspect to a country who does not have restrictions, and the interrogators in THAT country will torture the suspect.

i hear reports about what kinds of torture american interrogators may use, and i note that there are certain approved methods of torture: psychological torture. sleep deprivation. standing for long periods of time in certain positions. lights. sound. things like that. one can torture a suspect in this manner in the name of the united states. if you want to pull out somebody's fingernails or use electrical shock, apparently you have to ship them to another country possessed of less delicate sensibilities.

khalid shaikh mohammed apparently has no rights under the geneva convention or any protection under most human rights agreements. khalid shaikh mohammed allegedly masterminded the world trade center bombings. if guilty, he is a monster of the worst sort. i believe that we should be careful how we treat him, and other monsters, during interrogation. i believe we should be careful of them not for their sakes, but for our own sakes. if we torture people, no matter for what apparently fine motive, no matter out of what spirit of justice and apparent righteous cause, we become monsters as they are monsters. we enter into relationship with their spirit of hate and murder. if we torture, we brutalize ourselves.

Hell, no, Bill won't go. And he doesn't want anyone else to go either, if their travel plans involve Delta Airlines.
Bill Scannell, organizer of the successful Boycott Adobe campaign launched when Russian programmer Dmitry Sklyarov was arrested in the summer of 2001, is now calling for a boycott on Delta.

At issue is Delta's test run this month of CAPPS II, the Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System. CAPPS II would require background checks on all airline passengers when they book a ticket, including checking credit reports, banking and criminal records.

Passengers would then be assigned a threat level -- red, yellow or green -- which would help authorities determine if they should be subjected to increased security checks at the airport or refused boarding.

Advocates of CAPPS II insist the system will identify terrorists while allowing law-abiding citizens to avoid the airport security shakedown. But privacy advocates like Scannell believe CAPPS II is highly intrusive and ineffective in identifying terrorists.

Delta will be trying out CAPPS II at three as-yet undisclosed airports during the month of March. It's a first step prior to potentially deploying CAPPS II screening throughout the country over the next year.

During the Gulf War in 1991, Shun Akiba was one of only two foreign journalists reporting from Baghdad, along with Peter Arnett of CNN. With such experience and expertise, it would be reasonable to imagine him in great demand right now. Wrong.

Shun is on some kind of invisible blacklist. His book "Teito Tokyo Kakusareta Chikamono Himitsu" ("Imperial City Tokyo: Secret of a Hidden Underground Network"), published by Yosensha in late 2002, is already in its fifth edition. Yet Shun has found it impossible to get the media to take serious note, write reviews or offer interviews.

This is very strange because he has a great story -- evidence of a network of tunnels and possibly an underground city beneath Tokyo that the public is totally unaware of. "Why am I ignored? Can I be on to something, and there is a conspiracy to silence me? I believe so."

Internet accounts of a comet, supposedly bigger than Jupiter and possibly bearing down on Earth, have concerned citizens e-mailing astronomers and journalists worldwide asking if the end is finally nigh. True to form, the rumors also include allegations of a cover-up by NASA.

Scientists say there is absolutely no danger and call the suggestions of cover-up false and even silly.

Dear Mr. President,

Please bomb Seattle.

Doing this would give all Americans a far healthier respect for the new American empire that you are embarking upon. You see, the problem with obliterating Baghdad and its five million people is that they're just too far away. For most Americans, the handiwork of your genius is simply too abstract to fully appreciate. However, take out a place like Seattle - and it becomes much more real... | Via everything burns

LAFAYETTE - George Doughty's computer will never crash again.

Doughty was jailed Sunday on suspicion of shooting his Dell computer four times with a revolver earlier that day in the middle of the Sportsman's Inn Bar and Restaurant. Around 10 a.m. Sunday, police said, Doughty entered the bar from his office, announced he was going to shoot his computer and returned to his office. After 30 minutes, police said, Doughty set his laptop on the ground 4 to 6 feet away from him, warned two customers at the bar to cover their ears and fired away.

The computer took all the bullets; no one was injured. But because Doughty put the customers and bartender in danger, he was arrested on suspicion of felony menacing, reckless endangerment and the prohibited use of weapons.

Martin Sheen said NBC executives fear his opposition to a U.S.-led war against Iraq will hurt his popular television show "The West Wing.''
Sheen, who plays fictional U.S. President Josiah Bartlet on the NBC series, told the Los Angeles Times that the show's staff has been "100 percent supportive'' but top network executives have "let it be known they're very uncomfortable with where I'm at'' on the war.
He also said he had received an ``avalanche of hate mail and been accosted on the street, accused of being a traitor for such activities.''
NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks said she knows of "no concern among top management at NBC regarding Mr. Sheen's stand against the war or fear that it could impact the show.''
The actors' union is also warning networks and studios against blacklisting. The Screen Actors Guild executive committee states, "Some have recently suggested that well-known individuals who express `unacceptable' views should be punished by losing their right to work.''
The committee, whose members include anti-war activist Mike Farrell, called this "a disturbing trend.'' SAG refused to tell Variety who has threatened to blacklist actors.

A national Muslim group criticized two Washington state legislators for their lack of respect during a morning prayer at the state House by a Muslim religious leader, and the leader of the state Republican party condemned their actions.
Republicans Lois McMahan of Gig Harbor and Cary Condotta of East Wenatchee stood in the back of the chamber during the invocation Monday by Mohamad Joban, imam of the Islamic Center of Olympia. McMahan said her decision not to listen to the prayer was "an issue of patriotism."

JUSTICE DEPT. TRIES NEW TACTIC
Federal agents routinely seize property allegedly used in the commission of a crime, anything from a drug dealer's car or speedboat to a hacker's computer.
In a series of raids in recent weeks, the Justice Department has extended such grabs to property that might seem esoteric but worry civil libertarians -- Internet domain names.
In one case, the government took over Web sites that it said peddled bongs, roach clips, rolling papers and other paraphernalia used in the consumption of illegal drugs.
Prosecutors also acquired, in a plea agreement, a site called isonews.com whose owner was charged with selling special chips that let pirated titles run on video-game consoles. >>

Appearing quarterly
(--press release written by Jason Lubyk)

The appearance of a UFO in the sky above Kingsgate Retail Park last week caused spooked drivers to bump their cars. Several people reported seeing a huge silver object in the area as they drove past at around 8.45am last Wednesday. Drivers were so distracted by the bizarre sighting that at least two minor bumps were reported, as the attention of motorists wandered from the more mundane forms of transport before them on the road.

Clear Channel Communications, parent company of over 1,170 radio stations in 47 states, has issued the following list of 'insensitive songs' to it's radio stations, and have asked their stations to refrain from playing them. This, of course, was done in the wake of the World Trade Center attacks which took place on September 11th, 2001. CCC wanted to prevent their stations from inadvertently playing any music which might offend anybody or which might cause a grieving family member to 'go over the edge' after hearing a song that reminded them of their late loved ones.

If It Happened Here

Except for the tolling of church bells, the city is quiet, and the streets are empty of everything but occasional emergency vehicles and the carcasses of dead birds. Most people huddle behind windows and doors sealed tight with duct tape, watching continuous news coverage on television or listening to "America the Beautiful" and "Amazing Grace" endlessly replayed on the radio. A cable channel plays nothing but prayer services for Los Angeles, broadcast from cathedrals and temples around the world. (via)

Marketing: Flogging on a Blog
Dr Pepper is trying to use the grass-roots power of Weblogs to promote its new drink

The exploding popularity of Weblogs—diary like personal Web sites, also known as blogs—is often touted as a shining example of untainted expression.
BUT MARKETERS AT Dr Pepper see the movement as the perfect launch point for a “grass roots” campaign for a new “milk-based product with an attitude,” Raging Cow. The first step is an in-house blog (ragingcow.com); it tells the fictional backstory of the drink, which rolls out in April in flavors like Chocolate Insanity and Pina Colada Chaos.
Next comes a blog-related twist on viral marketing—recruiting “key influence bloggers” to promote Raging Cow by sharing their enthusiasm, linking to the site and distributing special screensavers, banners and skins. Beginning with an initial group of six people in their late teens and early 20s—flown to Dallas with their parents for an induction session—Dr Pepper hopes to develop a “blogging network” to hype Raging Cow and “be part of the ‘in the know’ crowd,” says its brand-marketing honcho Andrew Springate.

Segway Creator Unveils Hope For Millions: Premieres Portable Water Purifier

In addition, he said spending money on such technology could do more to help reduce hatred against America than hoping technology can make the nation more secure. [more]

"Babytron" Artificial Womb Is the Next Raelian Project

Fresh from making unproven claims about cloning babies, the Raelians have announced their intent to create an artificial womb called "Babytron."

"His Holiness Rael, founder and spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement, has just asked Dr. Brigitte Boisselier, who is in charge of the Clonaid project and who has announced the birth of the first five cloned babies, to create a new company involved in the development of artificial wombs," reads a Raelian press release.

"'Babytron' will enable the growth of a child, cloned or not, from its conception to birth and this, entirely in a machine that will provide the foetus with all the nutritional elements and the stimuli required for its development," say the Raelians. "Then, the machine will also allow the growth of completely new animals and ultimately, the growth of entirely synthetic human beings such as the ones that were once created by the Elohim when they created the first humans." (The Raelians believe that aliens called Elohim created humans about 25,000 years ago using biotechnology.)

University of Michigan researchers achieve quantum entanglement of three electrons

The quantum entanglement of three electrons, using an ultrafast optical pulse and a quantum well of a magnetic semiconductor material, has been demonstrated in a laboratory at the University of Michigan, marking another step toward the realization of a practical quantum computer. While several experiments in recent years have succeeded in entangling pairs of particles, few researchers have managed to correlate three or more particles in a predictable fashion.

Entanglement, which is essential to the creation of a quantum computer, is one of the mysterious properties of quantum mechanics that contradicts the notions of classical realism. Quantum computers will be able to perform highly complex tasks that would be impossible for a classical computer, at great speed. Entanglement describes a particular state of a set of particles of energy or matter for which correlations exist, so that the particles affect each other regardless of how far apart they are. Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance."

Inventor of swarming robots wins prize
Swarming robots that can act in concert and mimic the behavior of bees have netted James McLurkin, a 30-year-old doctoral candidate in computer science, the annual Lemelson-MIT Student Prize

McLurkin's robots are programmed to cluster, disperse, follow one another and orbit, similar to the way bees work together in a hive. Equipped with sensors and radio equipment, the robots are capable of detecting environmental stimuli and of contacting the rest of the group, which can then collectively accomplish a preprogrammed task.

Cash-strapped California holds eBay sale
Bureaucrats get EBay fever State sells penknives confiscated at airports at online auction

How hard up is California, the nation's richest state?

So hard up it has resorted to peddling pocketknives, scissors and even the occasional hatchet seized by airport security staff, in a desperate bid to put a dent in its $35 billion (22 billion pound) budget shortfall.

The California Department of General Services is taking potentially dangerous items confiscated from passengers at airports in Oakland and Sacramento and putting them up for bids on the popular Web site of Internet auction company eBay Inc. And plans are underway to start hawking items seized from passengers at airports in Los Angeles, Ontario, California and Orange County.

"Overall, here is what I learned about the state of our world..."

A journalist gets into the World Economic forum and writes an email about it which then gets spread all over the web. And no this isn't an urban legend, it's been verified. Definitely worth a read.
