10/29/09 - Not dark energy, dark fluid
The simplest way of explaining the universe's acceleration is to invoke a cosmological constant, originally proposed by Einstein to allow the universe to remain the same size in the presence of matter. This describes a universe filled with uniform, outward-pushing energy. But there are other possible explanations for acceleration. One idea is that the entire universe exists on a membrane, or brane, floating inside an extra dimension. While matter will be confined to three dimensions, gravity could be leaking into this extra dimension. When the universe becomes large enough, this gravity could interact with matter in the brane, to produce acceleration on large scales. A deviation could also be a sign that dark energy is a more complex "fluid" that exerts varying pressures in different directions. The snag is that telling the difference between a more exotic form of dark energy and a modification to our understanding of gravity could be tricky. "If we were to detect a departure," says cosmologist Alessandra Silvestri of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, we might not be able to tell whether there is a flaw in general relativity or just evidence that dark energy is "some sort of fancy fluid". - Full Article Source and check out the theories of Osborne Reynolds where the Aether is a dilatant fluid at;

10/29/09 - iRobot's Soft Morphing Blob 'Bot Takes Its First Steps
The Pentagon has unveiled a new robot that's most a blob of goo. Called the "chemical robot," or ChemBot, it moves by changing its shape, by inflating and deflating different areas. Researchers say the research could lead to robots that can seep through cracks, and help rescue people trapped in collapsed buildings. / It gets around by way of a process called “jamming,” in which material can transition between semiliquid and solid states with only a slight change in volume. In ChemBot’s case, a flexible silicone skin encapsulates a series of pockets containing a mix of air and loosely packed particles. When air is removed from the compartments, the skin attempts to equalize the pressure differential by constricting the particles, which shift slightly to fill the void left by the evacuated air.(via http://www.therawfeed.com/) - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Maple Seeds Inspire New Monocopter Flying Machine
Clark School Aerospace Engineering students solve 60-year-old design dilemma by mimicking Maple tree seeds. Kids call 'em "helicopters" -- maple seeds that rotate as they fall to the ground. They're actually monocopters because they have one blade. And, for 60 years, they've been an engineering dilemma. Graduate student Evan Ulrich is the primary inventor of a new flying machine modeled after the maple tree seed. It works. Ulrich demonstrated several of his devices to a gaggle of reporters on an engineering plaza in College Park, today. Ulrich placed the awkward looking device on the ground, walked back to his remote radio controller, and began turning controls. The machine vibrated. Its single propeller started turning, and, woosh, the gizmo was up in the air and flying. Ulrich, who will earn his doctorate in May, says the prototypes cost about $500 each. But the flying monocopter might turn into a $100 toy with enough mass production. How does it feel to fly it? "It's a blast," says inventor Ulrich. Two patent applications have been filed, and Ulrich envisions the toy version of this monocopter being in production within months. In the 1950s, researchers first tried to create an unmanned aerial vehicle that could mimic a maple seed's spiraling fall. Ever since, their attempts have been foiled by instability, resulting in a lack of control over the tiny (less than one meter) vehicles, which were easily knocked off course by wind. As recently as June 2009, this was considered as an open challenge for engineers. The Clark School students have solved the steering problem and provided a solution that allows the device to take off from the ground and hover, as well as perform controlled flight after its initial fall to the ground after being deployed from an aircraft. The device can also begin to hover during its initial descent, or after being launched by hand. - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Electrisitree solar/wind energy in One
The growing popularity of solar panels — which capture renewable energy generated from the sun — should lead to new forms of solar panels that are more attractive than the common gray, flat panels seen on top of buildings, Strang said. His resulting invention, the Electrisitree, is the answer to that problem, he said. The fronds on the artificial palm tree, when put outside, would absorb light just like solar panels, said Strang. “They’re more aesthetically pleasing,” Strang said of the product. Eventually, Strang said, he plans to develop a version of the Electrisitree that would have spinning branches, so the machine would also function as a turbine, to capture wind power. Strang estimates one eight-foot tall tree would cost homeowners roughly $15,000 to install. One tree generates roughly 80 watts of power, according to Strang. It would take eight to power a 1,200-square-foot home, Strang said. - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Competitors strive to create new life-forms
Building microscopic critters via genetic tinkering was confined to the world's most sophisticated laboratories a generation ago. But with more powerful computers and cheaper equipment, it is within reach of students at high schools, community colleges and universities, hundreds of whom are competing this year to create the coolest new organism on the planet. The International Genetically Engineered Machine (IGEM) competition, which will be held Halloween weekend at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass., is built on the premise that life can be broken down into a warehouse of off-the-shelf, interchangeable parts and reassembled into creatures that have never existed. Adherents call this kind of science synthetic biology. Critics call it scary. "It's sold as, 'it's light, it's fun, it's hip, it's green.' It's not being sold as risky, as untested. One of the big concerns is that kids are being taught that DNA is a computer code, and you can program biological organisms the same way you can program a computer. I think that's going to prove to be a bad analogy." - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Air Conditioned Bed Sheets to save Energy
AIR-CONDITIONED bed sheets, a contraption devised by a Tamworth inventor, have won first prize in a national competition to find the best new energy-saving products. The energy-saving sheets are designed to reduce the cost of cooling homes in warm climates at night. They work by blowing chilled air into the bed space either from a sort of leaky lilo placed above or under your top sheet or in your duvet. This would cool your top sheet or duvet. Alternatively, chilled air can be blown directly into the empty space in your mattress and this will cool your bottom sheet. The sheets have been patented, but they are still in the invention phase and have not yet been produced. Mike is on board with the company European Thermodynamics to produce the sheets, he just needs an investor to help fund production. - Full Article Source

Not only can PETMAN walk, run, and crawl, but it can also sweat and change its temperature. That’s pretty cool. Like BigDog, the most impressive part is when they give it a shove and it recovers with a motion that seems almost organic. - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Using Plasma to produce Nanoparticles
Plasma is like a gas, but many of its atoms have been stripped of an electron or two. These positively charged atoms swim about in a crackling-hot sea of negatively charged loose electrons, making plasmas great electrical conductors. Scientists have harnessed it to make welding torches, fluorescent lights and bright, sharp big-screen TVs, as well as those glass novelty globes full of snaking purple current that make your hair stand on end when you touch them. But plasma can do more, much more, and Idaho National Laboratory's Peter Kong is giving the world a glimpse of its true potential. Kong, technical lead for plasma processing at INL, has built a career of putting plasma to work. He's using it to mass-produce nanoparticles, a project that in August received $1 million in federal stimulus funding. He's also employing plasma to find ways to store hydrogen efficiently, and he'll soon start a project using plasma to convert natural gas, coal and heavy oil to gasoline and diesel. These last two efforts could help the United States break its addiction to foreign oil and, perhaps, to fossil fuels altogether. "I found plasma to be a very interesting subject," he says, "one that could be applied to a lot of areas other than welding, cutting or spraying." One of these areas is the production of nanoparticles, bits of matter tens of thousands of times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. Because nanoparticles are so tiny, a high percentage of their constituent atoms are on their surfaces rather than hidden away inside. Surface interactions thus dominate the lives of nanoparticles, and as a result, nano-sized specks of a particular substance often have different physical and chemical properties than larger chunks. Scientists are just beginning to exploit nanoparticles, but they hold great promise in many applications, including anti-microbial and cancer-fighting drugs, stronger, corrosion-resistant materials and more efficient solar panels, fuel cells and batteries. But nanoparticles can be difficult and expensive to make. Kong is hoping to change that with his unique Plasma Nanoparticle Fabricator, a man-sized conglomeration of cables and shiny steel that looks a bit like a robotic squid. Sand-size grains of material fed into the PNF get vaporized by a plasma arc exceeding 12,000 degrees Celsius, twice as hot as the surface of the sun. As the vapor exits the reactor's processing zone, the gas cools down so fast—a rate of 1 million degrees per second—that its atoms have very little time to glom together. Each atom clumps with only a few others, forming nanoparticles. Other nanoparticle-production methods grind raw materials down, burn them up using fossil fuels or dunk them in various chemical baths. But Kong's PNF is a step above. It makes high-quality (very small and relatively uniform) nanoparticles more cheaply and can handle a wider range of raw materials. And, because it converts 100 percent of its feedstock to nanoparticles, it generates no byproducts. Other conventional plasma reactors can't come close to this conversion rate, which the PNF achieves with a much longer plasma arc. Also contributing are the higher, more uniform temperatures in the PNF's processing zones, and the fact that raw materials remain in these zones for longer periods of time. - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Gyrowheel: Revolutionary Way To Learn To Ride A Bicycle
The Gyrowheel has a fast spinning disk inside that can spin for up to three hours on a full charge of its built-in rechargeable NiMH battery. The spinning disk is completely enclosed for safety. The Gyrowheel replaces the front wheel of the child’s bike, and the spinning disk inside keeps the bike upright and stable, even when a wobbling child is aboard. The Gyrowheel has three speeds, with the highest speed being the most stable. At this speed the wheel is able to resist knocks and shoves even when it is stationary, and without a bicycle attached can travel upright, letting itself down gently when it stops. The gyroscope gives the bicycle high stability even at very slow speeds. As the novice rider gathers more confidence, the speed can be decreased, until the child is riding unaided. The Gyrowheel has been tested on over a hundred children, and all learned to ride very quickly without needing training wheels. Daniella Reichstetter, the CEO of Gyrobike, the Gyrowheel’s developer, explained that the old system of training wheels did nothing more than stop the child falling over, and could start the novice off with bad habits and riding techniques that had to be unlearned when the training wheels were removed. The wheel was originally intended to teach someone how to ride a unicycle, but Reichstetter and her team soon realized the device could be used equally well on a young child’s bicycle to help them learn more safely and quickly. - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - First Hyperlens For Sound Waves Created
Ultrasound and underwater sonar devices could “see” a big improvement, thanks to development of the world’s first acoustic hyperlens. Created by researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), the acoustic hyperlens provides an eightfold boost in the magnification power of sound-based imaging technologies. Clever physical manipulation of the imaging sound waves enables the hyperlens to resolve details smaller than one sixth the length of the waves themselves, bringing into view much smaller objects and features than can be detected using today’s technologies. The key to this success is the capturing of information contained in evanescent waves, which carry far more details and higher resolution than propagating waves but are typically bound to the vicinity of the source and decay much too quickly to be captured by a conventional lens. “We have successfully carried out an experimental demonstration of an acoustic hyperlens that magnifies sub-wavelength objects by gradually converting evanescent waves into propagating waves,” said Xiang Zhang, a principal investigator with Berkeley Lab’s Materials Sciences Division and director of the Nano-scale Science and Engineering Center at the University of California, Berkeley. “Our acoustic hyperlens relies on straightforward cutoff-free propagation and achieves deep subwavelength resolution with low loss over a broad frequency bandwidth.” Zhang and his co-authors fashioned their acoustic hyperlens from 36 brass fins arranged in the shape of a hand-held fan. Each fin is approximately 20 centimeters long and three millimeters thick. The fins, embedded in the brass plate from which they were milled, extend out from an inner radius of 2.7 centimeters to an outer radius of 21.8 centimeters, and span 180 degrees in the angular direction. “As a result of the large ratio between the inner and outer radii, our acoustic hyperlens compresses a significant portion of evanescent waves into the band of propagating waves so that the image obtained is magnified by a factor of eight,” says co-author Fok, a graduate student in Zhang’s lab. “We chose brass as the material for the fins because it has a density about 7,000 times that of air, a large ratio that is needed to achieve the strong anisotropy required for a flat dispersion of the sound waves.” / (This is PURE KEELY! - JWD) - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Getting bugged by e-mail subpoenas
What if Congress proposed that every telephone call made or received in the United States should be recorded, just in case something anyone said might later be relevant in a legal proceeding? You'd be outraged. I'd be outraged. Those on the left, on the right and on the yellow line down the middle of the political road would see it as an unconscionable invasion of privacy and march on Capitol Hill with pitchforks and torches to be sure such a proposal never passed. If the law wants to put our conversations under surveillance, it had better first prove to a judge that it has a very good reason for doing so. So where is our outrage over the way judges and lawyers now are often able to go back in time and retrospectively listen in on our e-mail and text exchanges? These exchanges are often as loose and unguarded as actual spoken conversations -- sloppy, blunt, intimate, haphazard -- but because they usually end up living on some disk or server somewhere whether we want them to or not, the courts, with a little effort, can go back and, in effect, eavesdrop...

Highway hypnosis is a mental state in which the person can drive a truck or automobile great distances, responding to external events in the expected manner with no recollection of having consciously done so. In this state the driver's conscious mind is apparently fully focused elsewhere, with seemingly direct processing of the masses of information needed to drive safely. 'Highway Hypnosis' is just one manifestation of a relatively commonplace experience, theoretically where the conscious and subconscious minds appear to concentrate on different things; workers performing simple and repetitive tasks and people deprived of sleep are likely to experience similar symptoms. Therefore, it is a sort of subconscious "driving mode." / (Reminds me of how chickens are hypnotized by drawing a chalk line and putting their beak on it so they go into a catatonic trance...see my 3 eBooks on Hypnotic Phenomena and how to do it. - JWD) - Full Article Source and Hypnosis eBooks 3 for $24.95 on CD

10/29/09 - Mind control via serial port
Zibri] found a very simple method for using brain waves as a controller via a DB9 serial port. He’s using Uncle Milton’s Force Trainer which we saw yesterday in the brain controlled Arduino. In that project the Arduino tapped into the LEDs and interfaced those signals with a computer via USB. This time the connection was made using an RS-232 transceiver to pass data from the programming header inside of the toy’s base unit to a computer over the serial port. Tapping into the programming header has a lot more potential and should be more reliable than sniffing logic out of LED connections. [Zibri] has written an application to display the received data but it doesn’t look like he’s made the code available for download. Apparently he tipped us off about a week ago. We recall seeing this submission but as you can tell it’s a little bit light on the detail. So if you want your tips to be at the front of the line, make sure you do what you can to fill us in on all the details of your project.

10/29/09 - The Force Trainer brings Star Wars to Life
Ever wanted to use the force to move objects with your brain? Will it may not be possible without the use of technology, but where there’s a will, there’s a way. The Force Trainer comes with a headset that uses brain waves to allow players to manipulate a sphere within a clear 10-inch-tall training tower. The wireless headset reads your brain activity, in a simplified version of EEG medical tests, and the circuitry translates it to physical action. If you focus well enough, the training sphere will rise in the tower. A state of deep concentration is needed to achieve a Force-full effect. Star Wars sound effects and audio clips are emitted from the base unit to cue progress to the next level (from Padawan to Jedi). The Force Trainer is expected to sell for between $90 and $100. / Scientists call the technology BCI, or Brain Computer Interface, and more sensitive, medical-grade versions are used to help amputees move artificial limbs and victims of paralysis communicate using a computer and software that reacts thought. The Force Trainer, expected to sell for about $120, is not medical-grade hardware, but it uses a headset to monitor the brain, and then transmits a signal to a base that features a fan and a ball in a tube. The headset is calibrated to sense beta waves, a specific type of brain waves associated with concentration. When you focus, the headset reads the electrical pattern from inside your head and sends a signal to a microchip that switches on the fan in the base unit and levitates the pingpong in a clear tube. The more intense the focus and concentration, the faster the fan spins and the quicker the ball rises. When concentration is broken or weak, the ball drops. A computer chip programmed with the voice of Yoda the Jedi master guides users through several increasingly different levels of control. Another mind toy, Mattel’s Mind Flex, uses the same mind-bending technology to guide a ball through a series of obstacles. It will be available in the fall. / The toy company Uncle Milton brings you closer than ever to the Force with its Star Wars Force Trainer. As part of its new series of Star Wars science products unveiled at the 2009 NY Toy Fair, the Force Trainer will help budding Jedis learn to master their thoughts and channel their own powers of the Force. The Force Trainer comes with a headset and base unit. Once the user places the headset on, this component captures brain signals and sends that information to the base unit which controls a floating ball, or Training Sphere, similar to the one found in the first Star Wars movie (episode IV). The more the user can focus their mind on something, the higher the Training Sphere will float within a clear tube chamber. To control the height of the ball, the user has to control the intensity of their brain activity, a challenging balance between active concentration and mental rest. The voice of Yoda helps guide the user through mastery of all 15 levels of game play. The Force Trainer will become available this coming August and will cost just under $130. - Full Article Source and Star Wars Shop - Force Trainer $129.99

'Indeed, Painter points out, the interactions between sound and light in this device—dubbed an optomechanical crystal—can result in mechanical vibrations with frequencies as high as tens of gigahertz, or 10 billion cycles per second. Being able to achieve such frequencies, he explains, gives these devices the ability to send large amounts of information, and opens up a wide array of potential applications—everything from lightwave communication systems to biosensors capable of detecting (or weighing) a single macromolecule.

'It's an article of faith: the United States needs more native-born students in science and other technical fields.

In fact, the supply has actually remained steady over the past 30 years, the researchers conclude, while the highest-performing students in the pipeline are opting out of science and engineering in greater numbers than in the past, suggesting that the threat to American economic competitiveness comes not from inadequate science training in school and college but from a lack of incentives that would make science and technology careers attractive. Cranking out even more science graduates, according to the researchers, does not give corporations any incentive to boost wages for science/tech jobs, which would be one way to retain the highest-performing students.' - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Auto parts makers target new markets
In reaction to the auto meltdown, Canadian firms are looking at aerospace. mining, alternative energy producers and even lawn mowers. “We just know it's not good to have your eggs in one basket,” says Marty Solcz, executive vice-president and chief operating officer of the privately held company. The automotive meltdown over the past year has delivered a blaring wakeup call to Canada's auto parts makers – the need to diversify. The near failures of General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC sent shock waves through the North American parts industry as plummeting vehicle production battered business for many companies. Eager to insulate themselves from any further deterioration in the sector, parts companies are now hitching their fortunes to broader industrial areas by tapping into everything from solar and wind energy technology to consumer products, aerospace and mining equipment. Auto production cutbacks have put an end to an era when simply shipping to assembly plants in Ontario and the U.S. Midwest was enough. One such program is to produce power conversion units for Stirling Energy Systems, which builds solar dishes that convert the sun's energy to electrical power. Stirling is supplying a solar farm in the Mojave Desert and will begin manufacturing 100 of its SunCatcher units a day next year. Tapping the expertise of auto parts makers on such projects makes sense, notes Jeff Collins, vice-president of global supply chain for Stirling, which is in Scottsdale, Ariz. “From a buyer perspective, there is no industry like the auto industry in terms of taking a concept, assisting the customer in developing the concept, incorporating ideas like design for manufacturability, design for assembly [and] design for serviceability,” Mr. Collins says. The contract, which will generate $200-million in revenue annually for Linamar, involves more than a supplier shipping a part, he says. “It's tapping into their engineering capability, their knowledge of manufacturing, their knowledge of their supply chain and their thinking about how to assemble this in high volume.” Linamar has set up a so-called skunk works team that will do research and development into new products and processes at the technology centre the company opened in Guelph last month. In another move to tap the auto parts industry's expertise, Stirling has sourced the reflective surface in the SunCatcher's 11.6-metre-in-diameter parabolic dish to metal basher Tower Automotive LLC. Toronto-based Martinrea, which competes against Tower for auto maker contracts, is using its expertise in metal forming to find new customers. “You've got a stamping press, it doesn't really care what it's stamping,” says chief operating officer Nick Orlando. “If you want to stamp parts for air conditioners or parts for washing machines, refrigerators, stoves, it really doesn't matter.” (You see this Jim R.? - JWD) - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Tintii Gives Colorful Boost to People and Objects in Your Photos
Windows/Mac/Linux: If you're a fan of photos that are desaturated save for an interesting burst of color left behind—often a vibrant one like a yellow flower or red carpet—Tintii makes it easy to play with the technique. Tintii is available as a stand-alone tool, the one we're reviewing here, and as a plugin for Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. The stand-alone version is free to try out the application, activating the plugins costs $16. For casual use however the stand-alone version is more than adequate for tinkering and experimenting with your photos. The sample photo in the screenshot above only took a matter of seconds to tinker with before we arrived at a pleasing outcome. Tintii has a host of settings which are probably best played with to see their full effects. You can adjust the decay and edge parameters for both saturation and hue, increase the number of color detections—it starts with the basic primary colors but you can increase from there activating and deactivating colors within the photo's palette. Finally you can play with the channel mixer to further push and tweak the colors. Tintii is available as a free stand-alone tool, registering the plugins is $16. Tintii is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - UN investigator warns US on use of drones
A U.N. human rights investigator warned the United States Tuesday that its use of unmanned warplanes to carry out targeted executions may violate international law. Philip Alston said that unless the Obama administration explains the legal basis for targeting particular individuals and the measures it is taking to comply with international humanitarian law which prohibits arbitrary executions, "it will increasingly be perceived as carrying out indiscriminate killings in violation of international law." - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Faster Maintenance with Augmented Reality
In the not-too-distant future, it might be possible to slip on a pair of augmented-reality (AR) goggles instead of fumbling with a manual while trying to repair a car engine. Instructions overlaid on the real world would show how to complete a task by identifying, for example, exactly where the ignition coil was, and how to wire it up correctly. A new AR system developed at Columbia University starts to do just this, and testing performed by Marine mechanics suggests that it can help users find and begin a maintenance task in almost half the usual time. A user wears a head-worn display, and the AR system provides assistance by showing 3-D arrows that point to a relevant component, text instructions, floating labels and warnings, and animated, 3-D models of the appropriate tools. An Android-powered G1 smart phone attached to the mechanic's wrist provides touchscreen controls for cueing up the next sequence of instructions. - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Software That Fixes Itself
Martin Rinard, a professor of computer science at MIT, is unabashed about the ultimate goal of his group's research: "delivering an immortal, invulnerable program." When a potentially harmful vulnerability is discovered in a piece of software, it takes nearly a month on average for human engineers to come up with a fix and to push the fix out to affected systems, according to a report issued by security company Symantec in 2006. Rinard's group hopes that its new software, called ClearView, will speed this process up, making software significantly more resilient against failure or attack. ClearView works without assistance from humans and without access to a program's underlying source code (an often proprietary set of instructions that defines how a piece of software will behave). Instead, the system monitors the behavior of a binary: the form the program takes in order to execute instructions on a computer's hardware. By observing a program's normal behavior and assigning a set of rules, ClearView detects certain types of errors, particularly those caused when an attacker injects malicious input into a program. When something goes wrong, ClearView detects the anomaly and identifies the rules that have been violated. It then comes up with several potential patches designed to force the software to follow the violated rules. - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Insecurity not education determines church attendance
The long-standing theory has been that the higher educated someone is the less religious he will be. But new research in 60 countries proves otherwise. It is economic security that leaves churches empty. "Higher educated people rely more on facts and less on beliefs that can't be validated or are clearly false. Or at least that's the theory," Van Tubergen says. "But that's not what we've seen." Why not, he can't say. "That's not what we investigated, but we have a hunch. Other research has shown that highly educated people are indeed less religious. But at the same time they tend to be more actively involved in political parties, associations and thus also in churches. Less educated people are more religious, but less active about it. There is a higher rate of churchgoers amongst educated believers than low-skilled believers." The two other elements of modernisation can be explained: economic (in)security and the nature of social relationships. "Economic uncertainty has enormous impact on church attendance. In countries with large socio-economic inequality, the rich often go to church because they too could lose everything tomorrow, as was clear from the dramatic collapse of Enron and Lehman Brothers." Religiosity is also strongly influenced by the social environment, says Van Tubergen. "There have to be parents, neighbours or fellow villagers who say 'let's go' or 'why have I not seen you in church on Sunday?' Whether your friends are practising, what your teachers tell you and how your future partner feels about it are major influences. People who grow up in a religious environment often remain very religious." But changes in life can change that pattern, such as moving to a city and decreasing social control as a result of that. People who do so are more likely to become detached from their religion. On the other hand, religious communities tend to be very close-knit and children often remain in the community," Ruiter says. - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Deep brain stimulation eases tics in Tourette's syndrome
Deep brain stimulation, already used for treating Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and dystonia, can ease the tics and other symptoms associated with Tourette's syndrome, British researchers reported today in the journal Neurology. Tourette's is a congenital neuropsychiatric disease affecting an estimated 1% of the population. It is characterized by physical tics, such as eye blinking, shoulder shrugging and head-and-shoulder jerking. It is also marked by vocal outbursts, many of which are obscene, providing great embarrassment. Sufferers often also have obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. There is no cure for Tourette's and no medication that works in all patients. Deep brain stimulation involves embedding electrodes deep in the brain--often called a brain pacemaker--and applying a minute electrical current to specific areas of the brain, depending on the condition being treated. Its underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood. Isolated case reports have suggested that the technique might be useful in Tourette's, so Dr. Andrea Cavanna of the University of Birmingham and her colleagues decided to perform a formal study. They treated 18 patients, with an average age of 30, who also had obsessive-compulsive disorder and who did not respond to other forms of therapy. Three of the patients were lost to follow-up. But the other 15, who were followed for two years, had an average of 52% fewer tics and a 26% to 33% improvement in the symptoms of OCD, depression and anxiety. The treatment did not interfere with their cognitive abilities. - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Halloween props: Servo eyes (watch the video)
If you’re wanting to spice up a Jack-o-lantern, why not give it some spooky eyes that will look around? [todbot] shows us how to set this up using an Arduino and 3 servos. His rig uses a hobby servo to control the entire head’s orientation and a smaller servo for each eye’s movement. Their motion is random, but quite convincing. He has them all stuck together with popsicle sticks, but you would probably move the location of the large servo to rotate the entire pumpkin, or whatever other prop you put it all in. You can download the Arduino sketch and give it a try your self. We might suggest building a simple rack and pinion rig to rotate both eyeballs with a single servo. / (I saw these at the Exploratorium in San Francisco several years ago, but their's had a tracking sensor so the eyes FOLLOWED YOU! - JWD) - Full Article Source and Video - Scary Shifty Servo Eyeballs and Halloween prop: glowing spooky LED eyes

10/29/09 - The Underground Market of Sperm Donors
Those "in need" are single women, lesbian couples, and married couples challenged by male infertility who can't afford the expense -- or in some countries, who don't have the "right" social status -- for traditional sperm banks. Trent is an independent contractor in a growing online gray market of free sperm donors. This market now includes Craigslist ads, Yahoo groups with names like Free Sperm Donors or Spermdonorneed, and websites like DIY Baby, the Free Fertility Clinic, and Feelingbroody.com, a site in the United Kingdom that acts as a matchmaker between free donors and women desiring to become pregnant. Big sperm clinics evolved in order to give women more control by making the process of getting a sperm donor less secretive and safer, and also to offer the highest-quality product. Today, that means genetically sound, disease-free sperm that has been quarantined for six months. That's just the minimum to meet FDA mandates. Donors also pass psychological health checks, background checks, and tout their Ivy League degrees or resemblance to A-list celebrities. Dr. Cappy Rothman, the medical director of the California Cryobank, told me that his customers will walk away knowing more about their donor than he does about his wife of 40 years. The problem is that with less secrecy and more established legal standards, sperm donation has also become an expensive and exclusive process. Vials of sperm cost up to $500 each, and an insemination through a private doctor's office can run more than $1,000 for each pregnancy attempt, depending upon one's insurance. Single women and lesbian couples now make up 50 percent of the business of sperm banks like the California Cryobank, which sells on average 30,000 vials of sperm a year. In the United Kingdom, clinics that are part of the national health care system will not inseminate a single woman in her 20s, nor will they offer any background information about a donor. Unlike in the United States, the concept of an "Open Identity" donor who would give the child the opportunity to meet his or her biological father at 18 does not exist in the United Kingdom. And for donors, says Rothman, "It's now harder to get accepted to our bank than it is to get into Harvard. We only accept nine out every 1,000 applications." This has led to the booming gray market. Since free sperm donors are the Wild West of sperm donation, there are no official statistics on how many there are. Based on an extensive web search, most of the donors are based in the United States and England, but some come from as far away as Bahrain. There has been no official legal crackdown on free sperm donors because technically it's not illegal, but the FDA does have mandated requirement that sperm donors must meet. "If it was a sperm bank not meeting the mandate, no one would be arrested and thrown in jail for a civil suit, but the bank would be shut down," says Dr. Rothman. - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Painful ‘4-hour erection’ may soon be history
A research team from United States and China suggests adenosine deaminase enzyme therapy could successfully prevent or treat penile fibrosis in men with priapism. Penile fibrosis is a condition associated with the build up of scar tissue and eventual impotency. “Coping with priapism is hard enough, but knowing that it can ultimately lead to fibrosis within the penis adds insult to injury,” said Dr Gerald Weissmann, Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal, where the study is published. “Because of our study, we have revealed that increased adenosine signaling contributes to the pathogenesis of the progression of priapism to penile fibrosis,” said Yang Xia, a scientist involved in the study from the University of Texas-Houston Medical School’s Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. “This finding led to a novel therapeutic possibility to treat and prevent this dangerous complication seen in priapic humans by targeting on this signaling pathway in the near future,” Xi added. - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Exploring With an Armada of Autonomous Robots
JPL has a fun article on their website detailing what future robotic exploration might entail: an armada of robots could one day fly above the mountain tops of Saturn's moon Titan, cross its vast dunes and sail in its liquid lakes. This is the vision of Wolfgang Fink, from the California Institute of Technology. He says we are on the brink of a great paradigm shift in planetary exploration, and the next round of robotic explorers will be nothing like what we see today. "The way we explore tomorrow will be unlike any cup of tea we've ever tasted," said Fink. "We are departing from traditional approaches of a single robotic spacecraft with no redundancy that is Earth-commanded to one that allows for having multiple, expendable low-cost robots that can command themselves or other robots at various locations at the same time." - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Toyota to release solar charger for electric vehicles
Toyota is developing a solar charging station for electric cars and plug-in hybrids, making a green technology even greener. It has also designed a battery charger for mounting inside an electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid to recharge the storage batteries. Toyota's solar charging station will consist of solar cells capable of generating 100/200V of electricity. The station includes storage batteries to store the electricity generated until it is required to recharge electric vehicles. The station also has a communication facility to authenticate users' identification information, and to communicate the amount of charge and other data to a remote data center. The communication system is expected to use LANs and Mobile networks. Earlier this year Toyota Industries unveiled a new public charging station for electric vehicles, which went on sale a few months ago at a cost of 450,000 Yen (around 4,600USD). Both the earlier public charging station and the new solar charging system were developed in collaboration with Nitto Kogyo Corporation. - Full Article Source

10/29/09 - Discovery - chemical that attracts mosquitoes to humans
The groundbreaking research, published this week in the early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, explains why mosquitoes shifted hosts from birds to humans and paves the way for key developments in mosquito and disease control. Entomology professor Walter Leal and postdoctoral researcher Zain Syed found that nonanal (sounds like NAWN-uh-nawl) is the powerful semiochemical that triggers the mosquitoes' keen sense of smell, directing them toward a blood meal. A semiochemical is a chemical substance or mixture that carries a message. "Nonanal is how they find us," Leal said. "The antennae of the Culex quinquefasciatus are highly developed to detect even extremely low concentrations of nonanal." Mosquitoes detect smells with the olfactory receptor neurons of their antennae. Leal and Syed found that nonanal acts synergistically with carbon dioxide, a known mosquito attractant. "We baited mosquito traps with a combination of nonanal and carbon dioxide and we were drawing in as many as 2,000 a night in Yolo County, near Davis," Syed said. "Nonanal, in combination with carbon dioxide, increased trap captures by more than 50 percent, compared to traps baited with carbon dioxide alone." - Full Article Source

On the front blackboard was what looked like a piece of modern art; different colored streaks like jagged lightning descending from upper left to lower right. I walked in and discovered it was a chart detailing the decline of every major civilization, the Roman, the Greek, the Persian, the Carthaginian, the Ottoman; even the Mayan and Aztec. Decline! "Could this ever happen to America?" I thought about that for about eight seconds before deciding, "No!" The world loved us too much. And they had a lot of reason to love us even more than they did.

'The Evolution of Matter' and 'The Evolution of Forces' on CD
Years ago, I had been told by several people, that the US government frequently removes books they deem dangerous or 'sensitive' from libraries. Some are replaced with sections removed or rewritten so as to 'contain' information that should not be available to the public despite the authors intent. A key example was during the Manhattan Project when the US was trying to finalize research into atomic bombs. They removed any books that dealt with the subject and two of them were by Dr. Gustave Le Bon since they dealt with both energy and matter including radioactivity. I had been looking for these two books for many years and fortunately stumbled across two copies for which I paid about $40.00 each. I couldn't put down the books once I started reading them. Such a wealth of original discoveries, many not known or remembered today. / Page 88 - Without the ether there could be neither gravity, nor light, nor electricity, nor heat, nor anything, in a word, of which we have knowledge. The universe would be silent and dead, or would reveal itself in a form which we cannot even foresee. If one could construct a glass chamber from which the ether were to be entirely eliminated, heat and light could not pass through it. It would be absolutely dark, and probably gravitation would no longer act on the bodies within it. They would then have lost their weight. / Page 96-97 - A material vortex may be formed by any fluid, liquid or gaseous, turning round an axis, and by the fact of its rotation it describes spirals. The study of these vortices has been the object of important researches by different scholars, notably by Bjerkness and Weyher. They have shown that by them can be produced all the attractions and repulsions recognized in electricity, the deviations of the magnetic needle by currents, etc. These vortices are produced by the rapid rotation of a central rod furnished with pallets, or, more simply, of a sphere. Round this sphere gaseous currents are established, dissymetrical with regard to its equatorial plane, and the result is the attraction or repulsion of bodies brought near to it, according to the position given to them. It is even possible, as Weyher has proved, to compel these bodies to turn round the sphere as do the satellites of a planet without touching it. / Page 149 - "The problem of sending a pencil of parallel Hertzian waves to a distance possesses more than a theoretical interest. It is allowable to say that its solution would change the course of our civilization by rendering war impossible. The first physicist who realizes this discovery will be able to avail himself of the presence of an enemy's ironclads gathered together in a harbour to blow them up in a few minutes, from a distance of several kilometres, simply by directing on them a sheaf of electric radiations. On reaching the metal wires with which these vessels are nowadays honeycombed, this will excite an atmosphere of sparks which will at once explode the shells and torpedoes stored in their holds. With the same reflector, giving a pencil of parallel radiations, it would not be much more difficult to cause the explosion of the stores of powder and shells contained in a fortress, or in the artillery sparks of an army corps, and finally the metal cartridges of the soldiers. Science, which at first rendered wars so deadly, would then at length have rendered them impossible, and the relations between nations would have to be established on new bases." - Source
