Want robots to be musical, creative, and expressive? Better brush up on your engineering.
Musician/ roboticists Dan Paluska and Jeff Lieberman constructed a web-connected "robotic
mechanical orchestra" that plays a marimba by firing rubber balls out of a cannon, strikes
traditional percussion instruments, and also rubs mechanical fingers along wine glasses. The
machine, Absolut Quartet, uses artificial intelligence to creatively riff on melodies composed
remotely by users on the web.
"At the core, the machine is just motors, metal, and software," say the MI T alums. "However, the
design of these elements gives the whole machine a 'personality' and this is what allows a
creative dialog to exist between the machine and the online user."
Of course, that dialog can't just work once -- it has to work over and over again. The guys
wanted the technology to "disappear," leaving a purely creative experience. But that meant making
3,000 custom parts and 10,000 stock parts work in harmony.
And then there are the 500,000 custom rubber balls firing a 4-meter arc onto the keys.
"For any reasonable maintenance, this can only fail roughly 1 in 10,000 times," the duo explains.
They tried four fundamentally different shooting mechanisms before they found one that worked --
springs and a rotating arm.
They then consulted an engineer to settle on magical, maintenance-solving ingredients such as
polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate, which they used to make the suede fingers resonant. But they
also needed the skills of a professional glass harpist so they could get 35 tuned wine glasses.
"Being both musicians and roboticists, we have always been interested in combinations of the
two," say Paluska and Lieberman. In the finished work, centuries-old percussion and glass
armonicas meet modern industrial robotics. Musician/inventor Benjamin Franklin, who built the
first glass armonica, would have been proud.

In a report issued today the FBI said the rising theft of the metal is threatening the critical
infrastructure by targeting electrical substations, cellular towers, telephone land lines,
railroads, water wells, construction sites, and vacant homes for lucrative profits. nbsp; nbsp;
Copper thefts from these targets have increased since 2006; and they are currently disrupting the
flow of electricity, telecommunications, transportation, water supply, heating, and security and
emergency services, and present a risk to both public safety and national security. nbsp; nbsp; The
agency cites a number of scary examples:

Champion is a recreation of the original Champion first produced in 1897. Even the original
artwork featuring a Jacobean vine and flower design has been duplicated, and it features a
medallion that celebrates the 100th anniversary. Die cast zinc metal is used for the base of the
Champion series of wine openers, and each opener can uncork or recork a wine bottle in less than
one second. The opener can be detached from the stand in order to mount to a bar, shelf, or table
at home to cork and recork with style and ease. Proudly crafted in the USA.

Six lucky candidates from a field of 5,000 have survived contests across hundreds of Guitar
Center stores to compete at the 2008 Drum-Off finals on January 10. But who will walk away the
best new skin-pounder in the music game? That's up to the bigshots.
They were announced on Wednesday, and
feature some fearsome drummers from across the sonic spectrum, including Foo Fighters' Taylor
Hawkins, Tool's Danny Carey, No Doubt's Adrian Young, Avenged Sevenfold's The Rev and session vet
Kenny Aronoff. Those distinguished musicians will be joined by celebration host and Jane's
Addiction slammer Stephen Perkins, The Mars Volta's Thomas Pidgeon, Shadows Fall's Jason Bittner,
and Papa Roach, which performs a headliner set.
Meanwhile, lifers making Guitar Center's "Drum Legends" Hall of Fame include the late, great
Mitch Mitchell -- Jimi Hendrix's recently deceased timekeeper,
soloing in the video at right -- Vanilla Fudge's Carmine Appice, and Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain,
who just might be the man who owns the best metal name of all time.
The sticks meet the skins in Los
Angeles at The Music Box, with $45,000 in career-enhancing possibilities on the line, including
$25,000 cash, $20,000 in gear, custom-designed kits, endorsement deals, a feature in Modern
Drummer, shopping sprees and onward. Welcome to the big time, drum nuts.

day we saw an Xbox 360 crammed beautifully into a laptop case from master of his craft Ben Heck,
watched the latest trailer for the new Ghostbusters game, and examined the business of the iPhone
App Store with Apple's 2008 top sellers list now out. We also posted the next Ragdoll Metaphysics
column from Jim Rossignol, who looked at why 2008 was a crucial year for indie gaming, particularly
generative MMO Love and 2D Boy's World of Goo, saw how Deus Ex's J.C. Denton responds to an
ontological quandary, watched millions of copies of the Half-Life franchise fly off retail shelves,
and previewed tracks from UK games podcast OneLifeLeft's new chiptune compilation CD. Finally, we
played a Space Invaders game from an invader's perspective, and were excited to hear that news is
afoot for Brütal Legend, the new black metal adventure from Psychonauts creator DoubleFine
which stars Jack Black as its hessian lead....br style="clear: both;"/ a

width="1" height="1" //divpEver since January 11 2002, when the first 20 prisoners were flown in
from Afghanistan in orange jumpsuits and shackles, the Guantaacute;namo Bay detention camp has been
a hefty burden around the Bush administration's neck. /ppThe defence secretary at the time, Donald
Rumsfeld, picked the Cuban enclave as the "least worst place" to hold captives accused of
terrorism. But the effort to run a camp outside the reach of US or international law, so that
"enemy combatants" could be held indefinitely without charge, steadily corroded America's standing
in the world. The images of the inmates languishing in small metal cages in Camp X-Ray, the
rudimentary first phase of the complex, and the steady stream of reports of human rights abuses,
have taken a daily toll. The camp's existence has angered and embarrassed Washington's closest
allies, and become a recruitment tool for its enemies. /ppNearly six years on, there is no debate
over whether "Gitmo" should be closed - only how. As it approaches the end of its term, the Bush
administration is anxiously attempting to dispose of its own toxic legacy. John Bellinger, the
state department's top lawyer, has been trying to persuade other governments to accept detainees
cleared for release. More than 500 have already been sent back to their homelands or to third
countries, but there are still 250 prisoners left who cannot go home for fear of persecution and
who no one else will accept. They are now Barack Obama's problem./ppThe president-elect has
frequently stated his intention to close Guantaacute;namo. In an interview since the election, he
repeated that pledge, saying it was "part and parcel of an effort to regain America's moral stature
in the world". But the question of what to do with the remaining inmates still divides his
ideologically diverse national security and justice teams./ppObama's inaugural speech on January 20
will be closely scrutinised around the world for signs of how bold or cautious he decides to be.
His policy on Guantaacute;namo will be widely seen as a benchmark for his intentions as president.
/ppA report by a non-partisan panel of US security and human rights experts, entitled Closing
Guantaacute;namo: From Bumper Sticker to Blueprint, estimates that the camp could be emptied within
a year if the Obama administration decided on a clean break from Bush policies and devoted enough
resources to the job. The report advocates the establishment of an independent commission to review
the cases of all the detainees, to assess the evidence against them and order the immediate release
of the innocent./ppThe first task will be to complete the Bush administration's effort to find
homes for the 150-200 prisoners who, according to lawyers familiar with their stories, have no case
to answer but who cannot be sent back to their native countries for fear they would be victimised,
tortured or killed. /ppThe clearest example of inmates stuck in this limbo are the 17 Uighurs,
separatists from a Muslim minority in China who were seized in Pakistan during the Afghan war. They
have all been cleared for release by the US authorities, most as long ago as 2003, but have so far
not been accepted by any third countries. Albania agreed to take in five other Uighur detainees in
2006, but has refused to take any more. /ppBellinger's efforts to find any other government to
receive the Uighurs have been undermined by the adamant refusal of the US authorities to allow them
to live in America because of the presumed threat they pose to the US, in part because of presumed
animosity caused by six years of detention without charge. Obama's envoys may find they have better
luck than Bellinger./pp"I don't think anyone is inclined to do this administration any favours, but
Obama will find he has a lot of goodwill to draw on," a European diplomat says. But that goodwill
will be greatly enhanced if the new administration stops fighting the resettlement of inmates in
the US./ppA second category of prisoners will be referred for prosecution outside Guantaacute;namo,
but that raises the question of whether that prosecution should be conducted by military courts
martial in the US or the civilian legal system. That will be a decision that goes to the
philosophical heart of the issue - should the US approach terrorism as a military threat or as a
criminal enterprise, or some hybrid of the two? Obama has refrained from using the phrase "war on
terror", but he is said to be under pressure from the more conservative national security experts
on his team to leave his options open and not bind himself with the procedural constraints of the
civilian judiciary./ppOn the other side of the debate is a "rule of law" camp within the embryonic
administration which argues that anything short of a complete return to constitutional normality
would rob Obama of the international goodwill he might otherwise gain by scrapping
Guantaacute;namo./ppThat debate underlies the toughest dilemma the new administration is likely to
face on closing the offshore camp: whether there should be a third category of prisoners, deemed
too dangerous to release but too difficult to prosecute. The evidence against them may be in the
form of intelligence material that cannot be disclosed in court, or that falls short of legal
proof. Confessions would also be ineligible if they were obtained under torture, as in the case of
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks who was "waterboarded"
(subjected to simulated drowning) by the CIA. And few if any of the inmates of Guantaacute;namo
were reminded of their right not to incriminate themselves, which is standard police
practice./ppThe Bush administration has been seeking international agreement for a new form of
preventative detention that would allow inmates in this third category to be held in the US and
abroad. "The problem is you've got 200-plus very dangerous people, and the question is what do you
do with them. And these are people who say regularly: 'If I'm let out of here, I will go
immediately and start killing Americans again,'" Condoleezza Rice, the outgoing secretary of state,
said during a visit to London this week. She argued that "even though you know that this person is
a future threat, we don't really have a legal framework for that, which is why it's been done
within a war framework. But if you don't hold a person who you know is a future threat, then you
risk the deaths of thousands of innocents. So I do think that this is something for the
international community to take up."/ppThere is little sign, however, that the international
community has any appetite for such a departure from established human rights law. The decision on
preventative detention will be Obama's alone. Several of his advisers and allies, liberals
included, think that terrorism is such a pernicious threat, and the security risks of releasing
suspects are so great, that new legislation allowing for preventative detention is unavoidable. The
political risk of a released inmate carrying out an attack are also enormous. Such an event could
prove crippling to a new administration. /ppOn the other hand, any new system of preventative
detention would be seen around the world as Guantaacute;namo redux, human rights lawyers say. It
would be every bit as effective as an al-Qaida recruiting tool, and would perpetuate the
extremists' self-image as warriors rather than mere criminals. Within the internal debate under way
in the transition team, liberal activists want foreign governments to lobby Obama against creating
a new legal limbo. /ppIt is one of the toughest decisions the new president has in his in-tray.
What Obama decides will say a lot about his presidency. Sarah Mendelson, a senior fellow of the
Centre for Strategic and International Studies and author of the Closing Guantaacute;namo report,
says it is uncertain which way Obama would lean. But she adds: "My sense is the president-elect has
taught courses in the constitution in one of the most reputable law schools in country. He ran on
opting back into the international system. The idea of going for a new legal regime that will
result in more years in litigation is not going to appeal. It will not be the clean break he needs
to make."/ph2A history of the prison camp/h2p· January 11 2002: First prisoners

As he lived just before the invention of the telescope, Tycho Brahe relied on his keen eyes to make
observations that changed the science. Yet his face was more remarkable for a different feature: a
golden nose. In 1566, when Tycho was a 20-year-old student at the University of Rostock in Germany,
he became embroiled in a drunken argument with another Danish nobleman named Manderup Parsbjerg. A
duel ensued – in the dark – in the course of which
Parsbjerg’s rapier lopped off much of the bridge of the future astronomer’s nose. To
mask the damage, Tycho – like Galileo Galilei, he is generally known by his
first name – designed himself a metallic nose-job. Using an alloy of silver and
gold, he fashioned a false nose that is said to have been remarkably realistic. Thenceforth, he
carried a special paste around with him – historians differ on whether this was
for reattaching the nose, or for polishing it. The man with the golden nose may, in fact, have had
several replacements. When his body was exhumed in 1901, on the 300th anniversary of his death, no
precious prosthesis was found. His skull however, was stained green where the nose would have been.
This may indicate that copper – which oxidises to a green colour
– was used to build his nose. Some speculate that he had a lighter copper nose
for everyday use, and saved the heavier silver-gold version for special occasions. Alternatively, a
grave robber might have stolen the precious metal, and substituted a cheap alternative.
Tycho’s nasal appendage was far from his only unusual possession: at his family seat,
Knutstorp castle, he kept a pet moose. His prized companion met a tragic end, falling downstairs
after drinking beer at a banquet. Another member of the nobleman’s unorthodox household was a
dwarf named Jepp, whom Tycho considered to be clairvoyant. Tycho, who at one stage owned 1 per cent
of all the wealth in Denmark, would often order silence at his feasts and make his guests listen to
Jepp’s pronouncements. For all his quirks, however, Tycho was an astronomer of immense
stature. Besides observing the supernova of 1572, he catalogued more than a thousand new stars, and
made some of the most accurate measurements of celestial movements yet accomplished. In his latter
years, when working in Prague, he employed Johannes Kepler as his assistant. After Tycho’s
death, Kepler was to use his master’s records of the movement of Mars to establish the laws
of planetary motion. Tycho, however, was off the scent on one critical astronomical matter: though
well aware of Copernicus’s theory that the Earth orbits the Sun, he was unable to accept it.
Instead, he proposed his own idiosyncratic cosmology, by which the Sun orbited the Earth, while the
remaining planets orbited the Sun.

A new study by radiologists reports on teenage girls embedding needles, glass, and other objects in
their flesh. While subdermal implants are nothing new in the realm of extreme body modifications,
the researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio suggest that the increasing
number cases they've seen are actually a form of self-injury similar to cutting. From the Chicago
Tribune: Personnel at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, report extracting 52
foreign objects that 10 teenage girls deliberately embedded in their arms, hands, feet, ankles and
necks over the last three years, including needles, staples, wood, stone, glass, pencil lead and a
crayon. One patient had inserted 11 objects, including an unfolded metal paper clip more than 6
inches long... The study, presented Wednesday at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of
North America in Chicago, is the first to report on this type of self-inflicted injury among
teenagers, the researchers said. They call the behavior "self-embedding disorder." Dr. William E.
Shiels II, the study's principal investigator and the hospital's chief of radiology, said that
uncovering the behavior was unexpected but that researchers are now hearing about cases in other
cities. The hospital recently set up a national registry to track incidents and conduct research.
