Chemistry postdocs Shanwen Tao http://www.che.hw.ac.uk/people/st.htm and Rong Lan http://www.eps.hw.ac.uk/departments/chemistry/phd-pdoc.htm at Heriot-Watt University's School of Engineering and Physical Sciences in Edinburgh are turning pee into electricity and clean water with a prototype fuel cell system. I had heard about pee-power for robotshttp://news.discovery.com/tech/pee-power-for-future-robots.html, but not pee-power for everyone. I don't tend to highlight fuel cell tech very often because the process has been so ridiculously expensive and tricky. Fuel cells usually rely on flammable hydrogen gas or toxic methanol to generate electricity, but Tao and Lan's cheaper prototype relies instead on urea, an organic chemical compound produced as waste when the body metabolizes protein. Urea, also called carbamide, has several advantages as a potential fuel source. It's abundant, non-toxic, relatively straightforward to transport -- when we're not already transporting it, if you know what I mean -- and rich in nitrogen. According to the universityhttp://www.hw.ac.uk/news-events/2010/could-urine-be-a-source-of-renewable-energy.htm, Tao thought about incorporating urea because he had seen it used as a fertilizer while growing up in eastern China. *Related Links:* -- - *Poo-Powered VW Beetle Runs Clean*http://news.discovery.com/tech/poo-powered-vw-beetle-runs-clean.html - *Plastic Bags Into Power?*http://news.discovery.com/earth/plastic-bags-power-recycling.html - *Pee Power for Future Robots*http://news.discovery.com/tech/pee-power-for-future-robots.html - *Bad Wine Makes for Good Energy*http://news.discovery.com/tech/bad-wine-clean-energy.html -- The Carbamide Power System prototype can break urea or urine from humans or animals down into water, nitrogen and CO2, and also produce electricity at the same time. Unlike existing fuel cells that require catalysts made from precious metals like platinum, the Youtricityhttp://www.eps.hw.ac.uk/departments/chemistry/youtricity.htm research group's prototype uses a cheaper catalyst and less expensive membranes. A $203,000 grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council is helping the team develop the technology, which they think could be ideal for islands, deserts and even on submarines. Plus, municipalities already spend a ton of money and energy removing urea from wastewater, so incorporating a system like this could help reduce those costs. The prototype's exact components aren't being publicized, but the team is planning to have a demonstration system ready next year. I remember NASA making significant gains a couple years agohttp://dsc.discovery.com/technology/tech-10/NASA-technology-top-10-02.html in purifying wastewater. Perhaps fuel cells like these could reduce waste in space, and back on Earth. If these scientists can actually make the system work, the whole thing

Software Predicts Who Will Commit Crime By Boyce Watkins, PhDhttp://www.bvblackspin.com/bloggers/boyce-watkins-phd/ on Aug 25th 2010 1:16PM Filed under: News http://www.bvblackspin.com/category/news/, Politicshttp://www.bvblackspin.com/category/politics/ , Race and Civil Rightshttp://www.bvblackspin.com/category/race-and-civil-rights/ Comments (5)http://www.bvblackspin.com/2010/08/25/software-will-be-used-to-predict-who-will-commit-crime/?omcamp=EMC-CVNL#commentsInline Print [image: The real Minority Report: U.S. police trial computer software that The real minority report: U.S. police software predicts who is most likely to commit crime] It is being reported that law enforcement officials in Washington, D.C., plan to use a new computer program that claims to be able to predict which citizens are most likely to commit crime. The concept conjures up images of the *Tom Cruise* film *Minority Report*, where agents were able to predict pre-crime: crime that hasn't happened yet and is set to occur. But far from science fiction, this program is actually based on reality. The program was developed by *Richard Berk*, a professor at *The University of Pennsylvania*. The first version of the program was used to predict future murders among parolees, but it is being argued that the software can be used for all kinds of crime. When a person goes on probation or parole they are supervised by an officer. The question that officer has to answer is 'what level of supervision do you provide?' Berk told* ABC News*. The program could have real implications, including determining the amount of a person's bail or how long they are to remain in a halfway house upon their release from prison. The program works by using a large database of crimes and other factors, including geographic location, age, prior offenses and the criminal record of the person being considered. This is not the only kind of technology used to predict crime. Some departments actually use brain scanners to predict someone's intentions before they act. Apparently, changes in brain chemistry can communicate hostility toward the person being discussed by the possible offender. All of this seems to represent a very interesting brave new world. I am not sure what to think about the use of computer algorithms to categorize people based on the likelihood of deviant behavior. I can say that judges have, for centuries, used ad hoc measures to determine the length of a sentence and level of bail for inmates. Also, parole boards use their own predictors to decide if a person should be released from prison or not. It seems that computer programs are simply the next step. While I am disturbed by these programs, their presence seems almost inevitable. One also can't deny the influence of race in these kinds of decisions. While I am sure the program doesn't use race as an explicit variable in its calculations, there are several factors highly correlated with race that could also be used in such a program, such as income, geographic location or education level. I am hopeful that the*American Civil Liberties Union* (ACLU) will keep an eye on how such programs are used. While the use of this program can certainly be criticized, there is also the truth that there are some occasions when one can see prison in the pipeline for a misguided young person. I once told a friend of mine that if she didn't intervene more deeply in to her son's life, he would end up in the penitentiary, since prison beds are kept nice and warm for uneducated black boys who have nothing to do. I knew then that based upon his location in his city, there were far too many ways for him to get in to trouble with his friends. Two years later, he was in jail for his first offense, and he was in prison shortly thereafter. So, most of us must admit that there are ways to predict who among us might be most at risk. The question is what we choose to do with that information: Do we use it to simply protect the rich from the poor, or do we use it to help that person before it's too late? Perhaps the ACLU, *NAACP* and other concerned parties should access this information as much as the police.

The human body has been used as a canvas for all sorts of art, but perhaps more interesting and rare is the use of human body parts as artistic media, from sculptures made of hair, bones and fingernail parings to plasticized corpses in dynamic poses. These 12 artists have made human body art that is often controversial and sometimes surprisingly poignant. Marc Quinn (images via: art news bloghttp://www.artnewsblog.com/2008/10/marc-quinns-gold-kate-moss-and-blood.htm ) If you’re going to do a self-portrait, why not go all out and make a sculpture out of your own frozen blood? That’s what sculptor Marc Quinn has done – every five years since 1991 – using a mold of his head and a whopping 9.5 pints of blood drawn over a period of five months. Quinn’s 2006 version of ‘Self’ was purchased by the UK’s National Portrait Gallery for over $465,000. Andrew Krasnow (images via: the independenthttp://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/news/body-art-literally-1690128.html ) It’s been called horrific and gruesome, but is Andrew Krasnow’s controversial skin art really a sensitive reflection on human cruelty? The artist creates flags, lampshades, boots and other everyday items from the skin of people who donated their bodies to medical sciencehttp://weburbanist.com/science. Krasnow says that each piece is a statement on America’s ethics. “The objective was to express my concerns about the war and that it would not be conducted in a way that was moral and ethical,” he said. “Since that question wasn’t permitted in a museum, the work became more complex, with all the inherent contradictions of what it means to be an American or, for that matter, to be human.” Gunther Von Hagens (images via: body worlds http://www.bodyworlds.com/en.html) Perhaps no artist using actual human flesh as his chosen medium has gained such renown as Gunther Von Hagens, the man behind the “Body Worlds” exhibition of plasticized human corpses. But for all the outcry regarding Von Hagens’ supposedly “disrespectful” usage of human bodies, there’s just as much fascination. Von Hagens invented plastination, the method of replacing water and fat in human tissue with certain plastics, preserving them for study. Francois Robert (images via: francois roberthttp://francoisrobertphotography.com/#/portfolio/fine_art/stop_the_violence ) Francois Robert’s fascination with human bones started with an unusual discoveryhttp://www.designobserver.com/observatory/entry.html?entry=12617: an articulated human skeleton hidden inside a presumably empty locker that he purchased. Realizing the potential for artistic expression, Robert traded in the wired skeleton for a disarticulated one so that he could arrange the parts into shapes and designs. Since then, he has

More than a year before Scott Pilgrim vs. the World hit movie theaters, the 20-year-old UCLA junior became a huge fan of the graphic novels that inspired the film. At July's Comic-Con International in San Diego, she waited more than an hour to meet the cast and filmmakers; I even kissed [director] Edgar Wright on the cheek! she bragged. After attending the debut midnight screening of the movie Thursday night while dressed as one of the characters Knives Chao, Scott Pilgrim's obsessive ex-girlfriend Berciano declared herself eminently satisfied. They got the tone of the book just right, especially the way they brought to life those fighting scenes, she said. I couldn't get enough. Her enthusiasm was shared by nearly everyone who saw the film in its opening weekend, particularly those younger than 35, who gave Scott Pilgrim an average grade of A, according to market research firm CinemaScore. Universal's internal exit polls were equally strong, and the film attracted scores of positive reviews. But as last weekend's box office numbers rolled in, all that hardly mattered at all. The movie sold only $10.6 million worth of tickets, a disappointing figure given that Universal Pictures spent about $85 million, before tax credits, on production and tens of millions more on marketing.

Secondly, given the centuries of exploration, migration, and conquest, a lot more Europeans have African and Asian blood in them than would like to admit. They need to do the same DNA tests on J. Edgar Hoover (rumoured to have black ancestry) and Babe Ruth (often called disparaging names for a black man by some of his white opponents). I've always been fascinated by people who've denied, hidden, or simply didn't know about their heritage. For example, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright didn't discover until the last few years that she was Jewish. Her family evidently tried to hide that fact, no doubt to avoid a lot of problems in American society. I found her surprise surprising, as I'd always assumed she was, based on her looks. I've long been happy that i'm obviously black, and didn't grow up in a time, place, or family where trying to pretend to be something else was either an option, a desire, or even a necessity. There's a scene in one of the Easy Rollins books--it might be Devil in A Blue Dress--where Easy is staking out a hotel lobby. As he's sitting there, he notices a man sitting in a chair, well dressed, manicured nails, light olive skin. Idly curious, Easy stares at the man for a sec. They make eye contact, and the man literally starts looking agitated. Easy quickly realizes that the man in is fact at least part Black, and is obviously passing for something else--Italian or Greek, most likely. Easy looks away, silently assuring the brother that he's not going to blow his cover, cause right or wrong, the man feels he has to hide like that. Easy wasn't going to judge him or cause him pain. I've often had to fight a kind of knee jerk disgust at people of color who've passed for white, or who deny their African roots while embracing the European ones. I had a lot of trouble, honestly, with the Torres character on Voyager, for example, because she was ashamed of her Klingon heritage. But I've had to realize that some people have been raised in times and places where it's simply been too hard to be who they were. Maybe they were taking the easy route; maybe they were just trying to survive.

I'd say that this is my third favorite movie of the summer. Inception and Toy Story 3 are 1 and 1a for me. I enjoyed it first go round but the more I thought about it the more it stuck in my head.

More than a year before Scott Pilgrim vs. the World hit movie theaters, the 20-year-old UCLA junior became a huge fan of the graphic novels that inspired the film. At July's Comic-Con International in San Diego, she waited more than an hour to meet the cast and filmmakers; I even kissed [director] Edgar Wright on the cheek! she bragged. After attending the debut midnight screening of the movie Thursday night while dressed as one of the characters Knives Chao, Scott Pilgrim's obsessive ex-girlfriend Berciano declared herself eminently satisfied. They got the tone of the book just right, especially the way they brought to life those fighting scenes, she said. I couldn't get enough. Her enthusiasm was shared by nearly everyone who saw the film in its opening weekend, particularly those younger than 35, who gave Scott Pilgrim an average grade of A, according to market research firm CinemaScore. Universal's internal exit polls were equally strong, and the film attracted scores of positive reviews. But as last weekend's box office numbers rolled in, all that hardly mattered at all. The movie sold only $10.6 million worth of tickets, a disappointing figure given that Universal Pictures spent about $85 million, before tax credits, on production and tens of millions more on marketing.

[scifinoir2] BBC America To Air Idris Elba Miniseries
I'd never heard of Luther before reading about it in my Comcast guide's list of upcoming shows for the fall. Sounds like it'll be pretty good. Elba's quite an actor, and this being a British production, you can count on it being of high quality and realism, especially with one of the guys behind the series MI-5 on board. * http://torforge.wordpress.com/2010/06/08/bbc-america-books-idris-elba-hourlong-series-luther/ BBC AMERICA REINVENTS CRIME THRILLER WITH WIRE STAR IDRIS ELBA BBC AMERICA today announced its latest U.S. premiere co-production. Luther , starring Idris Elba ( The Wire ), is a smart, six-part, psychological thriller that takes a bold new look at the crime genre. Elba is also Associate Producer on the project. * Luther (6 x 60) is a BBC/BBC AMERICA co-production and is distributed by BBC Worldwide. It will air later this year on BBC AMERICA. Idris Elba, best known for his performance as drug kingpin Russell “Stringer” Bell in HBO’s The Wire , now finds himself on the other side of the law. He plays John Luther, an intellectually brilliant but emotionally impulsive murder detective. He considers his profession a vocation rather than a job and it remains to be seen if he’s a force for good or a man hell bent on self-destruction. His confidante is also his arch-enemy Alice ( Ruth Wilson , Jane Eyre ), a beautiful multiple-murderess who evades his grasp early on, and with whom he becomes locked in a lethal battle of wits. Luther is created and written by acclaimed suspense novelist, and one of the lead writers on MI-5 , Neil Cross . He says: “I’m delighted that the BBC has brought Luther to life. It’s an intense psychological thriller which examines not only human depravity but the complex nature of love … and how it’s often this – our finest attribute – that leads us into darkness.” Elba is joined by an all-star cast: Ruth Wilson ( The Prisoner ) is Alice Morgan, beautiful, extraordinarily intelligent and a key witness in Luther’s first investigation; Steven Mackintosh ( Criminal Justice ) is Detective Chief Inspector Ian Reed and Luther’s loyal friend and work colleague; Indira Varma ( Rome ) is Zoe Luther, who’s had the strength to walk away from the man she still loves; Paul McGann ( Withnail and I ) is Mark North, unafraid to compete with Luther for Zoe’s love; Saskia Reeves ( Bodies ) is Detective Superintendent Rose Teller, Luther’s risk-taking boss and Warren Brown ( Occupation ) is Detective Sergeant Justin Ripley, Luther’s loyal, awestruck new partner. The deal was brokered by Matt Forde, EVP BBC Worldwide Sales Co-Productions with Chris Carr, COO, BBC Worldwide Channels and Richard De Croce, SVP Programming, BBC AMERICA. Chris Carr says: “BBC AMERICA viewers have always loved British crime thrillers. Luther, puts a whole new spin on the genre and sucks you in with its intelligent storytelling and gripping plotlines. We’re thrilled to have Idris Elba on BBC AMERICA and intend to surprise a few people by revealing that he’s British!” Luther , airing later this year, adds to BBC AMERICA’S new slate of co-productions recently announced including sci-fi thriller Outcasts starring Eric Mabius ( Ugly Betty ) and Come Dine With Me , a cooking show which follows amateur chefs competing for the title of the ultimate dinner party host.

I often joke to my wife, why didn't someone, during any of his mass rallies, look at him and say Hey, waitaminute? Didn't he say 'blonde hair and blue eyes? WTF?? Secondly, given the centuries of exploration, migration, and conquest, a lot more Europeans have African and Asian blood in them than would like to admit. They need to do the same DNA tests on J. Edgar Hoover (rumoured to have black ancestry) and Babe Ruth (often called disparaging names for a black man by some of his white opponents). I've always been fascinated by people who've denied, hidden, or simply didn't know about their heritage. For example, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright didn't discover until the last few years that she was Jewish. Her family evidently tried to hide that fact, no doubt to avoid a lot of problems in American society. I found her surprise surprising, as I'd always assumed she was, based on her looks. I've long been happy that i'm obviously black, and didn't grow up in a time, place, or family where trying to pretend to be something else was either an option, a desire, or even a necessity. There's a scene in one of the Easy Rollins books--it might be Devil in A Blue Dress--where Easy is staking out a hotel lobby. As he's sitting there, he notices a man sitting in a chair, well dressed, manicured nails, light olive skin. Idly curious, Easy stares at the man for a sec. They make eye contact, and the man literally starts looking agitated. Easy quickly realizes that the man in is fact at least part Black, and is obviously passing for something else--Italian or Greek, most likely. Easy looks away, silently assuring the brother that he's not going to blow his cover, cause right or wrong, the man feels he has to hide like that. Easy wasn't going to judge him or cause him pain. I've often had to fight a kind of knee jerk disgust at people of color who've passed for white, or who deny their African roots while embracing the European ones. I had a lot of trouble, honestly, with the Torres character on Voyager, for example, because she was ashamed of her Klingon heritage. But I've had to realize that some people have been raised in times and places where it's simply been too hard to be who they were. Maybe they were taking the easy route; maybe they were just trying to survive. I guess I shouldn't judge. - Original Message - From: Mr. Worf hellomahog...@gmail.com To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 2:59:32 AM Subject: [scifinoir2] WTF???

[scifinoir2] Re: BBC America To Air Idris Elba Miniseries
Sweet. I saw previews for this a while back. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Keith Johnson keithbjohn...@... wrote: I'd never heard of Luther before reading about it in my Comcast guide's list of upcoming shows for the fall. Sounds like it'll be pretty good. Elba's quite an actor, and this being a British production, you can count on it being of high quality and realism, especially with one of the guys behind the series MI-5 on board. * http://torforge.wordpress.com/2010/06/08/bbc-america-books-idris-elba-hourlong-series-luther/ BBC AMERICA REINVENTS CRIME THRILLER WITH WIRE STAR IDRIS ELBA BBC AMERICA today announced its latest U.S. premiere co-production. Luther , starring Idris Elba ( The Wire ), is a smart, six-part, psychological thriller that takes a bold new look at the crime genre. Elba is also Associate Producer on the project. * Luther (6 x 60) is a BBC/BBC AMERICA co-production and is distributed by BBC Worldwide. It will air later this year on BBC AMERICA. Idris Elba, best known for his performance as drug kingpin Russell âStringerâ Bell in HBOâs The Wire , now finds himself on the other side of the law. He plays John Luther, an intellectually brilliant but emotionally impulsive murder detective. He considers his profession a vocation rather than a job and it remains to be seen if heâs a force for good or a man hell bent on self-destruction. His confidante is also his arch-enemy Alice ( Ruth Wilson , Jane Eyre ), a beautiful multiple-murderess who evades his grasp early on, and with whom he becomes locked in a lethal battle of wits. Luther is created and written by acclaimed suspense novelist, and one of the lead writers on MI-5 , Neil Cross . He says: âIâm delighted that the BBC has brought Luther to life. Itâs an intense psychological thriller which examines not only human depravity but the complex nature of love ⦠and how itâs often this â our finest attribute â that leads us into darkness.â Elba is joined by an all-star cast: Ruth Wilson ( The Prisoner ) is Alice Morgan, beautiful, extraordinarily intelligent and a key witness in Lutherâs first investigation; Steven Mackintosh ( Criminal Justice ) is Detective Chief Inspector Ian Reed and Lutherâs loyal friend and work colleague; Indira Varma ( Rome ) is Zoe Luther, whoâs had the strength to walk away from the man she still loves; Paul McGann ( Withnail and I ) is Mark North, unafraid to compete with Luther for Zoeâs love; Saskia Reeves ( Bodies ) is Detective Superintendent Rose Teller, Lutherâs risk-taking boss and Warren Brown ( Occupation ) is Detective Sergeant Justin Ripley, Lutherâs loyal, awestruck new partner. The deal was brokered by Matt Forde, EVP BBC Worldwide Sales Co-Productions with Chris Carr, COO, BBC Worldwide Channels and Richard De Croce, SVP Programming, BBC AMERICA. Chris Carr says: âBBC AMERICA viewers have always loved British crime thrillers. Luther, puts a whole new spin on the genre and sucks you in with its intelligent storytelling and gripping plotlines. Weâre thrilled to have Idris Elba on BBC AMERICA and intend to surprise a few people by revealing that heâs British!â Luther , airing later this year, adds to BBC AMERICAâS new slate of co-productions recently announced including sci-fi thriller Outcasts starring Eric Mabius ( Ugly Betty ) and Come Dine With Me , a cooking show which follows amateur chefs competing for the title of the ultimate dinner party host.

Re: [scifinoir2] Software Predicts Who Will Commit Crim
Good question. I think that it was probably around for a few years. They were hinting at stuff like this for a while. They have been doing a lot of precog type software work, as well as interesting AI / psychosis research. The story itself is pretty old. I remember reading the requirements for a major at San Francisco State a while back that was a psychology / computer science/ engineering degree. (Finish it and you would have a MA in all 3.) There were a couple of others. The only job that I could think of for that combination had to be AI research.

The concept conjures up images of the *Tom Cruise* film *Minority Report*, where agents were able to predict pre-crime: crime that hasn't happened yet and is set to occur. But far from science fiction, this program is actually based on reality. The program was developed by *Richard Berk*, a professor at *The University of Pennsylvania*. The first version of the program was used to predict future murders among parolees, but it is being argued that the software can be used for all kinds of crime. When a person goes on probation or parole they are supervised by an officer. The question that officer has to answer is 'what level of supervision do you provide?' Berk told* ABC News*. The program could have real implications, including determining the amount of a person's bail or how long they are to remain in a halfway house upon their release from prison. The program works by using a large database of crimes and other factors, including geographic location, age, prior offenses and the criminal record of the person being considered. This is not the only kind of technology used to predict crime. Some departments actually use brain scanners to predict someone's intentions before they act. Apparently, changes in brain chemistry can communicate hostility toward the person being discussed by the possible offender. All of this seems to represent a very interesting brave new world. I am not sure what to think about the use of computer algorithms to categorize people based on the likelihood of deviant behavior. I can say that judges have, for centuries, used ad hoc measures to determine the length of a sentence and level of bail for inmates. Also, parole boards use their own predictors to decide if a person should be released from prison or not. It seems that computer programs are simply the next step. While I am disturbed by these programs, their presence seems almost inevitable. One also can't deny the influence of race in these kinds of decisions. While I am sure the program doesn't use race as an explicit variable in its calculations, there are several factors highly correlated with race that could also be used in such a program, such as income, geographic location or education level. I am hopeful that the*American Civil Liberties Union* (ACLU) will keep an eye on how such programs are used. While the use of this program can certainly be criticized, there is also the truth that there are some occasions when one can see prison in the pipeline for a misguided young person. I once told a friend of mine that if she didn't intervene more deeply in to her son's life, he would end up in the penitentiary, since prison beds are kept nice and warm for uneducated black boys who have nothing to do. I knew then that based upon his location in his city, there were far too many ways for him to get in to trouble with his friends. Two years later, he was in jail for his first offense, and he was in prison shortly thereafter. So, most of us must admit that there are ways to predict who among us might be most at risk. The question is what we choose to do with that information: Do we use it to simply protect the rich from the poor, or do we use it to help that person before it's too late? Perhaps the ACLU, *NAACP * and other concerned parties should access this
[scifinoir2] Clean Machines: 10 Wonderful Washers of the Future
Web Urbanist http://weburbanist.com http://fusion.google.com/add?source=atgsfeedurl=http://feeds.feedburner.com/WebUrbanist -- Clean Machines: 10 Wonderful Washers of the Futurehttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WebUrbanist/~3/T9mv9x-J6kE/?utm_source=feedburnerutm_medium=email Posted: 25 Aug 2010 10:00 AM PDT [ By Delana http://weburbanist.com/delana in Architecture Designhttp://weburbanist.com/category/architecture/, Furniture Interiors http://weburbanist.com/category/urban-furniture/, Green Technologies http://weburbanist.com/category/green-technologies/. ] The humble washing machine revolutionized the way we all live. Before automatic washing machines came along, clothes were washed by hand in a tub, a tedious and tiring process. Today, the washing machine takes care of all of the hard work for us, even if it is a less-than-thrilling machine. But the next generation of washing machines is on the way. What will it bring? These concepts offer some of the best, strangest and most ambitious guesses for the future of our laundry. Swirl Electricity-Free Washing Machine Laundry might be the last household task anyone would classify as “fun,” but the Swirl concepthttp://www.ecofriend.org/entry/swirl-concept-washing-machine-needs-no-electricity/could make it at least a little less tedious. This clothes washer was meant to be used in areas where water is scarce and electricity isn’t available. The spherical design features a handle that allows the tub to be easily wheeled to a water source. Then, with the handle either still attached or removed, the ball becomes a plaything that users can roll, kick and have fun with to agitate the clothing within. The motion scrubs the clothes clean, no electricity required. And when the tub isn’t being used for laundry, it can be used to transport water for the family. The Tiny, Wall-Hanging Washer When space is at a premium, taking appliances off of the floor and hanging them on the wall can be a brilliant solution. But in order to do that with an appliance as major as a washing machine, you have to rethink the way the machine works. The Shine concepthttp://dornob.com/mini-spin-washer-super-small-wall-hung-washing-machine/from the Electrolux Design Team in Porcina, Italy takes into account the fact that most of the world’s population will be living in urban environments by 2050 – a figure that means many of us will be short on space. The tiny washing machine can either be mounted on the wall or integrated beneath a bathroom countertop. Lights on the front of the machine count down the time remaining in the cycle while providing unique ambient lighting. The Maglev Washing Machine It doesn’t get much more futuristic http://weburbanist.com/technology than this concepthttp://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_file.asp?individual_id=288528portfolio_id=3017994;from designer Jakub Lekes. The small, energy-efficient design is notable for its crystal ball-like shape which allows it to spin in all directions. Magnetic levitation, or maglev, holds the ball in place while it spins around, getting clothes cleaner than a circular-spinning drum ever could. The Aquarium Washing Machine The simple round aesthetic of the Aquarium washing machinehttp://www.behance.net/gallery/Aquarium/113423concept recalls the unusual shape of the Maglev concept above, but closer to the ground. The interior ball holds the clothing and swirls around in all directions to provide a superior clean while the exterior sits in your home looking like a fascinating piece of futuristic art. The Pebble If you get a stain on your outfit just before going out for the night, you’d think the best solution would be to change. But why bother when you can simply run your soiled clothes through this wall-mounted wonder and head out of the house with your favorite outfit clean and ready to impress? The Pebblehttp://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/pebble-eco-smart-fabric-care-appliance/is a concept for the year 2022 from designer Ning Ning Lee, and it addresses the age-old problem of washing machine cycles that take way too long. The small appliance washes, steams and dries clothes quickly – and it looks great hanging on the wall. Electrolux Renew Along the same lines of the Pebble concept is the Electrolux Renewhttp://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/electrolux-renew-swipes-your-clothes-like-a-credit-card-for-sterilized-laundry/. It’s a quick and easy way to clean and refresh your clothes with a blast of steam – but it can also teach you a thing or two. The Renew uses RFID and infrared scanners to give you information about the fabric composition and condition of your clothes. The machine is equipped with wi-fi and features an OLED touchscreen interface to make navigation simple. Orbital Traditional washing machines use a huge amount of electricity and water.

Cisco predicts that in the next four years, more than 90 percent of all content traversing the Net will be some form of video, whether it's peer-to-peer or streamed from servers. Beyond 3D video, Chambers sees holographic technology as being the next truly big advancement in video technology. 3D will make things more lifelike, he said. But I think in 10 years we'll be seeing holograms used. Not only can this be used to enhance business communications, but imagine the implications for certain vertical businesses like medicine. Verizon Communications Chief Information Officer Shaygan Kheradpir said his company is already working with researchers to bring holographic technologies into homes and small businesses. And the medical industry is one place where he sees a particularly good fit for holograms. Cisco and Verizon executives say that the 3D TV revolution won't stop with consumer services. They also expect the technology to make its way into businesses. Chambers wouldn't specify when, but he said the company's telepresence video conferencing service, which today uses high-definition video, will eventually be 3D-enabled. Whether executives will sit around Cisco telepresence conference rooms with 3D video glasses is unknown. Chambers seemed confident that the technology would eventually get to a point where glasses are unnecessary. Toshiba is already talking about making a glasses-free 3D TVs for the Japanese market. Verizon Communications Chief Information Officer Shaygan Kheradpir said his company is already working with researchers to bring holographic technologies into homes and small businesses. And the medical industry is one place where he sees a particularly good fit for holograms. Kheradpir wouldn't offer specifics of what Verizon is working on with its research partners, but he said that it has been playing around with sending holographic images of someone's head across its Fios fiber-optic network. He said this could be a very useful application for doctors and other medical professionals. A hologram of a patient can be beamed right to the home of the doctor, who could rotate the image and make a diagnosis, he said. Kheradpir said his father was an ear, nose, and throat doctor, who spent most of his time running back and forth to the hospital to see patients. Just think of how much more time he would have been able to spend with his family if he had this technology, he said. He would not have had to go into the ER as often as he did. Most times all he needed to do was ask someone to open his mouth and say 'ah.' Verizon recently announced that it had field tested the first ever 1Gbps link to a business using Verizon's existing Fios infrastructure. Kheradpir, who lives on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, has also been testing the 1Gbps service in his home. On a recent tour of his home to show off new Fios TV services and features, he said that holography is the type of application that would need such high speed connections. *If you liked this article, please give it a quick review on Reddithttp://www.reddit.com/, or StumbleUpon http://www.stumbleupon.com/.

But, by design, it’s an attractive and racially diverse one. That’s precisely what ad agency McGarryBowen, which Ad Age voted 2009’s agency of the yearhttp://adage.com/agencya-list09/article?article_id=141664*, had in mind. The company seems to have ditched its “Can you hear me now?” slogan for a sly effort at convincing its users they actually have a foothold in the roiling debate over broadband access. Verizon launched its new campaign earlier this summer, and it’s clearly aimed toward younger users, mostly those of color. One ad called “Prejudice” debuted in July and features a racially diverse cast of young women talking about how Verizon’s wireless service allows them full ownership of their voices and ideas. It’s ironic, given Verizon’s recently released joint policy proposalhttp://policyblog.verizon.com/BlogPost/742/JointPolicyProposalforanOpenInternet.aspx with Google. In the two-page proposal, both companies outline a legislative framework http://stadium.weblogsinc.com/engadget/files/vzw-google-net.pdf that leaves the door wide open for network operators like Verizon to block or interfere with any mobile traffic they desire. As Nilay Patel at Endgadgethttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/09/google-and-verizons-net-neutrality-proposal-explained/ pointed out when the proposal was released, it’s a big deal because “it’s pretty obvious that wireless broadband will be the defining access technology for the next generation of devices and services.” So we took a look at Verizon’s 30 second July ad and examined its claims, phrase by phrase: *1. Air has no prejudice.* This, of course, is true. Except in the case of the air that Verizon owns, which is certainly prejudiced against those who can’t afford to be heard on it. Verizon claims to operate “America’s largest and most reliable wireless network,” covering approximately 290 million people. In 2008 it had the second largest revenue of all wireless companies at nearly $50 billionhttp://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/732712/000119312509036349/dex13.htm. Wireless smart phones, including the Google-operated Droid, have taken off considerably in the past two years, which has surely increased the company’s total wireless revenue. The air that Verizon owns and profits from generally costs mobile users upwards of at least $60 per month, not including data (wireless Internet) plans, monthly insurance, and taxes. For instance, take the company’s hottest phone on the market: the Google-operated Android. Let’s start with the Droid Incredible. If you sign a two-year contract and purchase the phone online, it costs $199.99. Then go and purchase the cheapest available calling plan: 450 minutes for $30 per month. But this is a Droid, and we want Internet. Mobile Internet, after all, is supposed to catapult blacks and foreign-born Latinos across the digital divide. So let’s get a smartphone data package. The cheapest one allows you to surf the Web and check email for an additional $30 each month (text messages not included). Then there’s text messages, equipment protection, visual voicemail ($2 — so you can see all those messages you don’t wanna answer on that shiny Droid screen!). That’s $283.96 http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirstaction=continueToCartright out the door. And each month from here on out, you’re looking at a monthly bill of $83.97, not including taxes. But look at the bright side. If you’re new to Verizon and sign a new two-year contract, at least they’ll waive the activation fee. *2.

Give them a couple of years. Just about all of the big manufactures are moving toward solid state storage already. So if they can get their hands on something like this we will start seeing 250gig Ipods, and Tabletpcs with 100 terabytes of storage.

The human body has been used as a canvas for all sorts of art, but perhaps more interesting and rare is the use of human body parts as artistic media, from sculptures made of hair, bones and fingernail parings to plasticized corpses in dynamic poses. These 12 artists have made human body art that is often controversial and sometimes surprisingly poignant. Marc Quinn (images via: art news bloghttp://www.artnewsblog.com/2008/10/marc-quinns-gold-kate-moss-and-blood.htm ) If you’re going to do a self-portrait, why not go all out and make a sculpture out of your own frozen blood? That’s what sculptor Marc Quinn has done – every five years since 1991 – using a mold of his head and a whopping 9.5 pints of blood drawn over a period of five months. Quinn’s 2006 version of ‘Self’ was purchased by the UK’s National Portrait Gallery for over $465,000. Andrew Krasnow (images via: the independenthttp://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/news/body-art-literally-1690128.html ) It’s been called horrific and gruesome, but is Andrew Krasnow’s controversial skin art really a sensitive reflection on human cruelty? The artist creates flags, lampshades, boots and other everyday items from the skin of people who donated their bodies to medical sciencehttp://weburbanist.com/science. Krasnow says that each piece is a statement on America’s ethics. “The objective was to express my concerns about the war and that it would not be conducted in a way that was moral and ethical,” he said. “Since that question wasn’t permitted in a museum, the work became more complex, with all the inherent contradictions of what it means to be an American or, for that matter, to be human.” Gunther Von Hagens (images via: body worlds http://www.bodyworlds.com/en.html) Perhaps no artist using actual human flesh as his chosen medium has gained such renown as Gunther Von Hagens, the man behind the “Body Worlds” exhibition of plasticized human corpses. But for all the outcry regarding Von Hagens’ supposedly “disrespectful” usage of human bodies, there’s just as much fascination. Von Hagens invented plastination, the method of replacing water and fat in human tissue with certain plastics, preserving them for study. Francois Robert (images via: francois roberthttp://francoisrobertphotography.com/#/portfolio/fine_art/stop_the_violence ) Francois Robert’s fascination with human bones started with an unusual discoveryhttp://www.designobserver.com/observatory/entry.html?entry=12617: an articulated human skeleton hidden inside a presumably empty locker that he purchased.

Recently they figured out a way to make biofuelhttp://news.discovery.com/tech/whiskey-biofuel-only-in-scotland.html from whiskey byproducts, and now a different team is hard at work on what promises to be the world's first urine-powered fuel cells. Chemistry postdocs Shanwen Tao http://www.che.hw.ac.uk/people/st.htm and Rong Lanhttp://www.eps.hw.ac.uk/departments/chemistry/phd-pdoc.htm at Heriot-Watt University's School of Engineering and Physical Sciences in Edinburgh are turning pee into electricity and clean water with a prototype fuel cell system. I had heard about pee-power for robotshttp://news.discovery.com/tech/pee-power-for-future-robots.html, but not pee-power for everyone. I don't tend to highlight fuel cell tech very often because the process has been so ridiculously expensive and tricky. Fuel cells usually rely on flammable hydrogen gas or toxic methanol to generate electricity, but Tao and Lan's cheaper prototype relies instead on urea, an organic chemical compound produced as waste when the body metabolizes protein. Urea, also called carbamide, has several advantages as a potential fuel source. It's abundant, non-toxic, relatively straightforward to transport -- when we're not already transporting it, if you know what I mean -- and rich in nitrogen. According to the universityhttp://www.hw.ac.uk/news-events/2010/could-urine-be-a-source-of-renewable-energy.htm, Tao thought about incorporating urea because he had seen it used as a fertilizer while growing up in eastern China. *Related Links:* -- - *Poo-Powered VW Beetle Runs Clean*http://news.discovery.com/tech/poo-powered-vw-beetle-runs-clean.html - *Plastic Bags Into Power?*http://news.discovery.com/earth/plastic-bags-power-recycling.html - *Pee Power for Future Robots*http://news.discovery.com/tech/pee-power-for-future-robots.html - *Bad Wine Makes for Good Energy*http://news.discovery.com/tech/bad-wine-clean-energy.html -- The Carbamide Power System prototype can break urea or urine from humans or animals down into water, nitrogen and CO2, and also produce electricity at the same time. Unlike existing fuel cells that require catalysts made from precious metals like platinum, the Youtricityhttp://www.eps.hw.ac.uk/departments/chemistry/youtricity.htm research group's prototype uses a cheaper catalyst and less expensive membranes. A $203,000 grant from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council is helping the team develop the technology, which they think could be ideal for islands, deserts and even on submarines. Plus, municipalities already spend a ton of money and energy removing urea from wastewater, so incorporating a system like this could

I've always been fascinated by people who've denied, hidden, or simply didn't know about their heritage. For example, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright didn't discover until the last few years that she was Jewish. Her family evidently tried to hide that fact, no doubt to avoid a lot of problems in American society. I found her surprise surprising, as I'd always assumed she was, based on her looks. I've long been happy that i'm obviously black, and didn't grow up in a time, place, or family where trying to pretend to be something else was either an option, a desire, or even a necessity. There's a scene in one of the Easy Rollins books--it might be Devil in A Blue Dress--where Easy is staking out a hotel lobby. As he's sitting there, he notices a man sitting in a chair, well dressed, manicured nails, light olive skin. Idly curious, Easy stares at the man for a sec. They make eye contact, and the man literally starts looking agitated. Easy quickly realizes that the man in is fact at least part Black, and is obviously passing for something else--Italian or Greek, most likely. Easy looks away, silently assuring the brother that he's not going to blow his cover, cause right or wrong, the man feels he has to hide like that. Easy wasn't going to judge him or cause him pain. I've often had to fight a kind of knee jerk disgust at people of color who've passed for white, or who deny their African roots while embracing the European ones. I had a lot of trouble, honestly, with the Torres character on Voyager, for example, because she was ashamed of her Klingon heritage. But I've had to realize that some people have been raised in times and places where it's simply been too hard to be who they were.

Now, research being conducted at Brazil’s University of Campinas (UC) is indicating that such a scenario may indeed become a reality. Professor Fernando Galembeck, a UC chemist, is leading the study into the ways in which electricity builds up and spreads in the atmosphere, and how it could be collected. “Our research could pave the way for turning electricity from the atmosphere into an alternative energy source for the future, he stated. Just as solar energy could free some households from paying electric bills, this promising new energy source could have a similar effect.” Scientists once believed that water droplets in the atmosphere were electrically neutral, even after having come into contact with charged dust particles. Galembeck and his UC team, however, have shown that this isn’t the case. In a lab experiment, they noted that tiny particles of silica and aluminum phosphate became negatively and positively charged (respectively) when circulated in highly-humid air. “This was clear evidence that water in the atmosphere can accumulate electrical charges and transfer them to other materials it comes into contact with,” Galembeck explained. “We are calling this 'hygroelectricity,' meaning 'humidity electricity'.” He now pictures collectors, not unlike solar cells, that could someday collect and distribute hygroelectricity from the air. Just as solar cells work best in sunny places, his collectors would do best in humid parts of the world. He even believes it’s possible that by diminishing the electrical charge in the air, his collectors could prevent lightning, especially if mounted on top of tall buildings. His team is currently experimenting with different metals, to find out which would work best for capturing atmospheric electricity and preventing lightning strikes. These are fascinating ideas that new studies by ourselves and by other scientific teams suggest are now possible, he said. We certainly have a long way to go. But the benefits in the long range of harnessing hygroelectricity could be substantial. A report on Galembeck’s research was presented this week at the 240th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society .
Re: [scifinoir2] Buckeye Bullet 2.5 claims battery electric vehicle world land speed record of 307.7mph
That's cool. I have a question, though. Is this requirement that a vehicle make two runs, in opposite directions within an hour of each other, an American thing? I remember reading about how a guy had broken the land speed record in a jet car a few years back, but officially wasn't in the record books because his car suffered some problems, and he couldn't make the run in the opposite direction within the time limit. Made no sense to me because he did make the run once, and that's what should matter. I've never gotten this need to do it twice. Even if one wanted to think the speed was a fluke, it's real and can't be faked, so why not just take the first run and be done with it? - Original Message - From: Mr. Worf hellomahog...@gmail.com To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2010 9:39:46 PM Subject: [scifinoir2] Buckeye Bullet 2.5 claims battery electric vehicle world land speed record of 307.7mph Buckeye Bullet 2.5 claims battery electric vehicle world land speed record of 307.7mph By Darren Quick 21:14 August 25, 2010 4 Pictures The Venturi Buckeye Bullet 2.5 The Venturi Buckeye Bullet 2.5 Image Gallery (4 images) Solar Panel Leasing - www.Sungevity.com/$0-Down Get Solar Power for Your Home Today $0 Money Down and Pay As You Go!

The lithium ion battery powered car eclipsed the previous 245mph (394km/h) world land speed record for battery electric vehicles set in 1999 by White Lightning. The new record was set by the Bullet at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah this week, is pending certification by the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the worldwide motor sports governing body. The Bullet was required to make two speed runs, one each in opposite directions and within 60 minutes, in order to be considered for the record. While the record is officially determined by averaging the speed of the two runs in the middle of the 12-mile course, the Bullet exited the flying mile at 320 mph (515km/h). The team led by Ohio State engineering students had anticipated making further tries at besting its time this week but decided to stop after spending all night trying to replace the vehicle’s broken clutch; too much torque from the motor ripped apart the half-inch steel teeth that connect the motor to the gearbox. The Bullet 2.5 uses the same body and chassis of the hydrogen fuel cell powered Buckeye Bullet 2, and nearly the same electric traction system, but it is powered by a 600+ kW A123 Systems lithium-ion battery pack that was designed, tested and assembled by the Bullet team and A123 Systems. The team is supported by French electric vehicle manufacturer Venturi Automobiles, the company behind the Fetish and Volage electric sportscars. The Buckeye Bullet 2, powered by hydrogen fuel cells, set an FIA-certified world record of 302.877mph (487.4km/h) for the fuel cell class in 2009. While the original battery-powered Buckeye Bullet set a national record at 314.9mph (506.7km/h) in 2004, however this record did not meet FIA specifications. That team did, however, set a certified record of 132.129mph (212.6km/h) in 2007. The Buckeye Bullet 2.5 will provide a test platform for systems including an all new inverter, control system and batteries to be used in the Buckeye Bullet 3.

Even if one wanted to think the speed was a fluke, it's real and can't be faked, so why not just take the first run and be done with it? - Original Message - From: Mr. Worf hellomahog...@gmail.com To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2010 9:39:46 PM Subject: [scifinoir2] Buckeye Bullet 2.5 claims battery electric vehicle world land speed record of 307.7mph Buckeye Bullet 2.5 claims battery electric vehicle world land speed record of 307.7mph By Darren Quick http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/ *21:14 August 25, 2010* 4 Pictureshttp://www.gizmag.com/buckeye-bullet-25-world-land-speed-record/16140/picture/119678/ [image: The Venturi Buckeye Bullet 2.5]http://www.gizmag.com/buckeye-bullet-25-world-land-speed-record/16140/picture/119678/ The Venturi Buckeye Bullet 2.5 *Image Galleryhttp://www.gizmag.com/buckeye-bullet-25-world-land-speed-record/16140/picture/119678/ (4 images)* Solar Panel Leasinghttp://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/aclk?sa=lai=BEMxIkRZ3TIXpFJ3UjQT--eX0B7eW3egBr5Wt7RPAjbcBsKKTAhABGAEgs9z6ASgEOABQn8eciAZgycbNhsijoBmgAdnX_fcDsgEOd3d3Lmdpem1hZy5jb226AQozMDB4MjUwX2pzyAEB2gGaAWh0dHA6Ly93d3cuZ2l6bWFnLmNvbS9idWNrZXllLWJ1bGxldC0yNS13b3JsZC1sYW5kLXNwZWVkLXJlY29yZC8xNjE0MC8_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1HaXptYWcrU3Vic2NyaWJlcnMmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTFkMTBiYjVkOTctVUEtMjIzNTM2MC00JnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWyAAgGoAwHoA6oG6AO0AfUDRAnum=1sig=AGiWqtxmnbnXEQFrNfncwaAG-K2rdApoXwclient=ca-pub-1607124478120364adurl=http://www.Sungevity.com/Solar-Lease - www.Sungevity.com/$0-Downhttp://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/aclk?sa=lai=BEMxIkRZ3TIXpFJ3UjQT--eX0B7eW3egBr5Wt7RPAjbcBsKKTAhABGAEgs9z6ASgEOABQn8eciAZgycbNhsijoBmgAdnX_fcDsgEOd3d3Lmdpem1hZy5jb226AQozMDB4MjUwX2pzyAEB2gGaAWh0dHA6Ly93d3cuZ2l6bWFnLmNvbS9idWNrZXllLWJ1bGxldC0yNS13b3JsZC1sYW5kLXNwZWVkLXJlY29yZC8xNjE0MC8_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1HaXptYWcrU3Vic2NyaWJlcnMmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTFkMTBiYjVkOTctVUEtMjIzNTM2MC00JnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWyAAgGoAwHoA6oG6AO0AfUDRAnum=1sig=AGiWqtxmnbnXEQFrNfncwaAG-K2rdApoXwclient=ca-pub-1607124478120364adurl=http://www.Sungevity.com/Solar-Lease Get Solar Power for Your Home Today $0 Money Down and Pay As You Go!
