Scientists Build Novel Brain-Machine Interface Device Honda scientists have created a system that will translate thoughts into electrical signals that can be used to control machinery. The technique doesn't require the user to undergo surgery or extensive training - a major advance over past thought-controlled technologies, the company said. Researchers at the Honda Research Institute in co-operation with boffins from Japan's Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute dub the system the "Brain Machine Interface". Details of the rig itself remain sketchy, but the system reads "natural brain activity... for the near real-time operation of a robot".

Work on Photonic Visibility Shielding Technology Using Light Wave Resonance
Nicolae Nicorovici and Graeme Milton propose that placing certain objects close to a material called a superlens could make them appear to vanish.
It would rely on an effect known as "anomalous localised resonance". Superlens pioneer Sir John
Pendry, of Imperial College London, said of the mathematicians' admission that "the cloaking effect works only at certain frequencies of light, so that some objects placed near the cloak might only partially disappear": "I believe their claims about the speck of dust and a certain class of objects. In the paper, they do give an instance about a particular shape of material they can't cloak. So they can't cloak everything."
Scientists
Work on Photonic Visibility Shielding Technology Using Metamaterials
Researchers in England and the United States think they know how to do that. They are laying out the blueprint and calling for help in developing the exotic materials needed to build a
cloak, or really a shield. David R. Smith of Duke's Pratt School of Engineering is one of the invisibility
shield's technological tailors. A cloak made with metamaterials, with a structure designed down to the submicroscopic scale, would neither reflect light nor cast a shadow.

The
Storm Over The Israeli Lobby
In their paper (the Web version runs eighty-two pages, forty of them footnotes), Mearsheimer and Walt argue that the centerpiece of US policy in the Middle East has been its unwavering support for Israel, and that this has not been in America's best interest. In their view, the "extraordinary generosity" the US showers on Israel— the nearly $3 billion in direct foreign assistance it provides every year, the access it gives Israel to "top-drawer" weapons like F-16 jets, the thirty-two UN Security Council resolutions critical of Israel that it has vetoed since 1982, the "wide latitude" it has given Israel in dealing with the occupied territories—all this "might be understandable if Israel were a vital strategic asset or if there were a compelling moral case for sustained US backing." In fact, they write, "neither rationale is
convincing.

Call it the Great Wall of America. Last Wednesday, the Senate voted to add 370 miles of it to the US-Mexico border, together with another 500 miles of vehicle barriers. The vote wasn’t close: the wall passed by 83 votes to 16. At more than $3m a mile, the wall is a huge treasure opportunity for some American companies. And parts of it will have three layers of barrier. Just like Berlin in the old days — but stretching as far as the eye can see.

Why did Bush revoke Executive Order 13011
on May 12, 2006? Debate about Executive Order 13011 has never been resolved completely. It created an environment in which a massive information technology bureaucracy could be allowed to thrive, if only the government were so efficient/inefficient, depending on your individual point of view. There are many that argue that the Executive Order, in typical Executive Order elliptical phrasing, sets the stage for the kind of far-reaching and extensive gathering of intelligence data that the NSA is doing and that the Order further establishes the original "technical" mandate for secretive use of such gargantuan amounts of data.

That has left the United States in a quandary. If U.S. forces take action, they risk alienating Iraqi Kurds, the most pro-American group in the region. And if they don't, they risk increased tensions – and possibly worse – with two powerful rivals.
