News
That Comes to You: J.D. Lasica, senior editor at Online
Journalism Review, surveys the many ways to scoop headline links from
some news and blogs sites and read them in a "news aggregator."
What's especially interesting here is that he put out a call for users
of RSS feeds, they answered his questions and he blogs the interviews
on his website. Primary sources like this have a fresh, immediate feel;
the reader can tell from the voice, the vocabulary and clues between the
lines whether this person's experience might be relevant to yours. He
blogs this as An
experiment in interviewing: News readers and RSS feeds and points
to the interview
pages here.
As J.D. notes, I played technical advisor to his developing story, although
little of it appears in print; he absorbed it and made it entirely his
own.
There are just too many interesting web pages that I stumble on accidentally
to depend on headline feeds. I've been using one RSS reader off and on
for over a year, but I forget about it for months at a time, so I guess
I'm not hooked.
I'll be sold on RSS feeds when they appear in my browser. I've been
able to read some, but not all, RSS feeds in the sidebar of Mozilla
(works for Netscape 7, too). If
anybody's interested in how to do this,
email me and I'll devote a blog item next week to it.
There is one effort under way now to display headline feeds in the News
section of your email program. It's called
nntp//rss and, according to developer Jason Brome, it "will enable
you to use your existing favorite NNTP newsreader to read your information
channels."

Senate
limits Pentagon 'snooping' plan: Cnet reports,
WASHINGTON--The U.S. Senate on Thursday voted unanimously to slap
restrictions on a controversial Pentagon data-mining program that critics
say would amount to a domestic spying apparatus.
By unanimous consent, the Senate inserted a moratorium on the program
into a massive spending bill, which was approved by a 69-29 vote late
Thursday.
The vote represents an unusual triumph of privacy concerns over the
Bush administration's arguments that the Pentagon's Total Information
Awareness (TIA) program would be useful for national security. If fully
implemented, TIA would link databases from sources such as credit card
companies, medical insurers and motor vehicle agencies in hopes of snaring
terrorists.
Final passage of the moratorium is not certain, however. Because the
House of Representatives' version of the omnibus
appropriations bill does not include any limits on TIA, a conference
committee will have the final say.

Ink-jet
printing creates tubes of living tissue: New Scientist reports,
Three-dimensional tubes of living tissue have been printed using modified
desktop printers filled with suspensions of cells instead of ink. The
work is a first step towards printing complex tissues or even entire
organs.
...The printers are adapted by washing out the ink cartridges and refilling
them with suspensions of, say, cells. The software that controls the
viscosity, electrical resistances and temperature of the printing fluids
is reprogrammed and the feed systems altered.
...Biologists have long known that bits of tissue placed next to each
other can fuse. The researchers found that as long as the layers were
thin enough for the clumps to come into contact with each other, the
bits of tissue fused. Once a structure is complete, the gel is easily
removed. Details of the team's initial work will soon be published.
Like printing with different colours, placing different types of cells
in the ink cartridges should make it possible to recreate complex structures
consisting of multiple cell types. "I think this is extremely exciting
technology that has the potential to overcome some of the major obstacles
[to tissue engineering] we have seen in the past," says leading
tissue engineer Anthony Atala of Harvard Medical School in Boston.

On behalf of women: I didn't blog anything about
the 30th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. I hate the rhetoric on both sides.
In theory, all the words sound noble.
But I know that if abortion is illegal, abortion will continue, in back
alleys, in dorm rooms, in motels, with coat hangers, with poisons and
homemade potions without anesthetics at the hands of unskilled amateur
surgeons.
In 1920, when my mother was 12, a teenage classmate of her older sisters
committed suicide at the altar of her Catholic church in Providence. She
was pregnant, a fate apparently worse to her than death. The church had
to be reconsecrated, and my mother never forgot the horror.
I know a woman in her 60s who went from parochial schools to the convent.
Just before she took her final vows, she decided she was not meant to
be a nun, and left. She jumped headlong into a delayed adolescence, became
pregnant the night she lost her virginity, and had an illegal abortion,
which was botched badly enough that she could never have children.
But I was still not going to blog about this until I saw a link at Ms.
Magazine with a very disturbing photo. Do not click on this link unless
you want it to haunt you for a very long time.
The link was labeled "Find
Out What it was like before Roe v. Wade." Here's the lead:
This woman was the victim of a criminal abortion. Her body was photographed
exactly as it was found by police in a bloody and barren motel room;
exactly as it had been abandoned there by an unskilled abortionist.
Becoming frightened when "something went wrong," he left her
to die alone.
The photograph is just one bit of evidence in the files of the Connecticut
medical examiner who determined the technical cause of her death: an
air embolism resulting from the unskilled surgical procedure.
I cannot in conscience support any attempt -- no matter how well-intended
-- to "support life" that in reality will lead to the re-establishment
of illegal, unsafe medical procedures for profit performed on desperate
women.
Abortion must be kept safe, legal and, hopefully, rare.

Female
Exposure: We're All Newspukes on this Bus at Digital Journalist:
Photojournalist Amy Bowers recalls
the early days.
In the 1972, I looked for an entry level job in Boston. WGBH, the public
television station, posted a job for studio lighting assistant. Perfect
for me. I called the production manager who told me I would have to
set lights from the catwalk. Sounded great. He said it wouldn't be a
good place for a girl, because the studio crew were men who used bad
language. Shit, they swear and stuff? I said I'd be okay and asked for
an interview. Call me tomorrow, he suggested. The following day I called
the production manager. The job's been filled, he told me.

Hilary
Rosen stepping down as RIAA honcho: She says she wants to spend
more time with her family, which often doesn't really mean that, but the
Gay
Financial Network reports that Rosen's partner is also quitting her
job:
Rosen is leaving to spend more time with her family, she said in a
statement, because she wanted to spend more time with her two children,
twins – a boy and a girl – adopted in 1999 by Rosen and
her partner, Elizabeth Birch, the executive director of the Human Rights
Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights organization. Birch said recently
that she, too, was leaving her job at the end of the year.
There's a 2001
photo of both of them here.
The
New York Times suggests,
Rosen's departure comes as the organization sought to soften its image
among Internet consumers, many of whom viewed the RIAA -- and Rosen
personally -- with antipathy over incessant pressure for crackdowns
on sharing digital music over the Internet.
while BoingBoing's Cory
Doctorow writes,
I've heard rumors that she's been frustrated with the intransigence
of her employers at the RIAA, their unwillingness to adapt to new circumstances
-- certainly, that sounds more plausible to me than "I want to
take care of my kids."
In the face of opposite and contradictory surmises, I'm leaning towards,
"They're taking the money and running."
Rosen's 2001 salary was $1,163,729, after all. (source)
She's been with RIAA since 1987, as chairman and CEO since 1998, according
to Wired, whose four-page
profile of Rosen is headlined Hating Hilary.

Tempest in a blogpot: Much gnashing of teeth
in blogosphere in the wake of the Bloggie
Award nominations as accusations
of rigging swirl.
Michele Catalano, whose A
Small Victory blog was nominated in three categories -- best American
weblog, best weblog about politics and weblog of the year -- is withdrawing.
Here's the item:
There's so much talk around the blogging world today about the bloggies
and hardly any of it is good talk.
There's significant evidence that the voting is rigged. Judges themselves
have stepped forward to say they got together with other judges to decide
on who in their circle should win. One judge said that she didn't bother
to read the blogs she didn't know and just voted for the ones she read
regularly.
...
I mean, it's a blog award. You're asking, why do she care so much?
I just do. I don't want to win something that is tainted. I don't want
to win something that by all rights should have gone to someone else.
And regardless of how the judging was done, I don't want to be a part
of something that is causing so much anger, resentment and divisiveness
amongst different circles of the blog world. Even if there wasn't a
doubt as to the integrity of the judging, I would still be pulling out
because I do not need the all negative vibes that have come my way just
24 hours after the nominations were posted.
I am withrdawing my name from the ballots. They can give my place to
someone else, or just leave it blank. I don't care.
The absence of many well-known, popular and groundbreaking blogs on the
list fuels the rumors.
East
West Magazine deconstructs the nominees.
My take: The utter meaninglessness of fame and glory is best learned
young -- and, always, the hard way.

'Oldest
star chart' found: BBC reports,
The oldest image of a star pattern, that of the famous constellation
of Orion, has been recognised on an ivory tablet some 32,500 years
old.
The tiny sliver of mammoth tusk contains a carving of a man-like figure
with arms and legs outstretched in the same pose as the stars of Orion.
The claim is made by Dr Michael Rappenglueck, formerly of the University
of Munich, who is already renowned for his pioneering work locating
star charts painted on the walls of prehistoric caves.
The tablet also contains mysterious notches, carved on its sides and
on its back. These could be a primitive "pregnancy calendar",
designed to estimate when a pregnant woman will give birth.

 Gaudi
lives: Architect's 95-year-old plans pushed for ground zero development.
AP reports,
NEW YORK -- Decades before the World Trade Center was conceived, a
revolutionary architect drew plans for a rocket-like skyscraper to be
built on that very site.
Now, a movement is growing to include his ideas in the redevelopment.
Antoni
Gaudi, who changed the face of Barcelona, Spain, in the early 1900s
with buildings inspired by organic shapes like snail shells, honeycombs
and ocean waves, sketched a design in 1908 for a New York hotel that
was never built.
The drawing called for a cluster of steel and concrete parabolic towers
at varying heights surrounding a central tower that would stand 1,048
feet tall, according to Paul Laffoley, the Boston architect leading
the effort to give the concept a second chance.
The image at right is Laffoley's concept of what the skyline would look
like with the Gaudi building in place. More

SUVs (yawn):
SUV
tax break may reach $75,000 reports the Detroit News:
WASHINGTON -- President Bush's economic stimulus plan could triple
the size of a little-known tax loophole that some small business owners
are using to finance purchases of large SUVs.
One of Bush's proposed tax cuts would raise from $25,000 to $75,000
the amount small business owners -- including doctors, lawyers and financial
advisers -- can write off when buying an SUV for business purposes.
Since the SUV loophole was first reported by The Detroit News last
month, several consumer groups and lawmakers have raised concerns about
the fairness of the provision. The debate signals more trouble for a
popular vehicle segment crucial to Detroit automakers, whose profits
have been sustained largely because of the SUV boom over the last decade.
The
Scarlet SUV (Wall Street Journal)
I don't own an SUV, but now that they've been identified as the
locus of evil, (I added this link) I'm thinking of getting
one. And if I do, I figure I might as well let the inner wolf out for
a rampage and get the most obnoxious SUV I can find.
...Buying an SUV is partly an act of fantasy. It's a way to connect
imaginatively with a more inspiring life than the one you actually lead.
Some people will admit anything.

On behalf of creators: Sean Sands of Rattlehead
Records -- an alternative record company -- sent an email today that's
notable for its musicians' perspective on the moves by RIAA and copy protecters
on their behalf.
An excerpt:
There were two huge stories (this past weekend) that concern all of
us in this business of music.
1) Microsoft has formally announced what we've been telling you about
for almost two years: their next operating system, code-named Palladium,
will take full advantage of copy protection on all media files. In turns
out that incorporating system-level cd burning technology into Windows
XP was not to make our lives easier, but to allow them to be the middle
man between you and your cd burner. I know many of you burn cdrs to
bring to shows and to hand out as demos for bookings. If you think that
this will make this easier for you to do, you're nuts. They did this
explicitly to stop music burning... so you have to ask yourself: how
will Windows know your music from someone elses?
2) Hilary Rosen, the RIAA's henchwoman, has announced another round
of lawsuits. They will now sue ISPs (AOL/Cox/Verizon/etc) that allow
customers access to file sharing services like Kazaa, Bearshare, etc.
Never mind the fact that millions of people use these services for non-audio
related things. Never mind that tens of thousands of bands like you
use this to spread their music around and get heard. Never mind that
all these services comprise the most incredible, instantaneous, inexpensive,
global distribution network for music ever created... it's all gotta
go 'cause Hilary says. The labels can't find a way to make it work,
so it's gotta go...
These are turbulent times in this business, for sure. And what's at
stake is enormously valuable: all of our musical futures. You think
you have a hard time getting radioplay now? Wait 'til the big guys get
this internet thing locked up... no one will be able to download you,
either. Geez, we'll all be back to relying on clubs to expose people
to local music. (And look at how well that works, eh?)
Obscurity, not piracy, is the greater threat to creators of the culture.
If technological advances mean we no longer need record labels to "filter"
artists and press CDs, why coddle an obsolete industry?
Lawrence Lessig struck a similar chord in the wake of the Supreme Court
decision to extend copyrights in Eldred
v. Ashcroft, which he argued before the court.:
According to Justice Breyer, only 2 percent of the works "protected"
from the initial period covered by the Sonny Bono Act have any commercial
value at all now. Meanwhile, the rest cannot be experienced, rediscovered,
even given a chance to find new readers, viewers and listeners through
Project Gutenberg and the kindness of strangers who might digitize and
give them web space.
An astonishing fact, via Lessig: "because of the Sonny Bono Act,
nothing will enter the public domain again in the United States until
2019."
Lessig is proposing a hard-nosed, simple way to give Caesar his due,
and give us back free access to our cultural history;
Here is something you can do right now. In this NYT
op-ed, I describe a proposal that would move more work into the
public domain than a total victory in the Supreme Court would have.
The basic idea is this: 50 years after a work has been “published,”
a copyright owner would be required to pay a copyright tax. That tax
should be extremely low--this proposal says $50, but it could be $1.
If the copyright holder does not pay the tax for 3 years, then the work
is forfeit to the public domain. If the copyright holder does pay the
tax, then its contacting agent would be made a matter of public record.
Very quickly we would have a cheap, searchable record, of what work
is controlled and what work is free.
If Justice Breyer is right that only 2% of the work from the initial
period affected by the Sonny Bono Act continues to have any commercial
value at all, then this proposal would mean that all but 2% will move
into the public domain within three years. And as the proposal applies
to all work that is more than 50 years old, it would apply to a much
larger range of work than would have been affected had we prevailed
in the Supreme Court. This could give us (almost) everything we wante--98%
of the public domain that our framers intended. Not bad for government
work.
Another view from Doc
Searls:
I believe Hollywood won because they have successfully repositioned
copyright as a property issue. In other words, they successfully urged
the world to understand copyright in terms of property. Copyright =
property may not be accurate in a strict legal sense, but it still makes
common sense, even to the Supreme Court.
... Watch the language. While the one side talks about licenses with
verbs like copy, distribute, play, share and perform, the other side
talks about rights with verbs like own, protect, safeguard, protect,
secure, authorize, buy, sell, infringe, pirate, infringe, and steal.
In both the file-sharing and copyright extension cases, the creators
of not-now commercially valuable works lose and the public loses.

Robots that suck: How the Roomba
vacuum cleaner works, the
second page of a Scientific American story. (Part
1 is a history of robotics.) This is what I wanted to know all along:
Roomba is roughly the size of a car hubcap and weighs about six
pounds. The main cleaning mechanism is basically a Bissell carpet
sweeper--one of those rug cleaners that is often found (and sometimes
used) in college dorm rooms. A zigzagging wire forms a cage to keep
the rotating brush from choking on the corners of rugs. A miniature
weed whacker on the side flicks dust away from the base of walls.
Behind the sweeper are two squeegee blades with a narrow slot between
them--a "microvacuum" designed to suck up dust and hair.
(Jones says the battery couldn't power a full-size vacuum.) The dirt
ends up in a plastic cartridge.
Or, in more technical terms, from EETimes:
Roomba consumes about 30 watts during operation, against about 1,000
W for a standard upright vacuum cleaner. It employs five brush-type,
1-inch-diameter dc motors, two to power its drive wheels and three
more to run the brushes that help it kick up and vacuum dirt. By using
counter-rotating brushes to dislodge large particles, followed by
a thin rubber "squeegee vacuum" to suck up smaller ones,
iRobot engineers say they were able to eliminate the huge vacuum motors
that use so much power in conventional vacuums. As a result, Roomba
gets by on rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries, and does not
need to be plugged into a wall outlet while it's cleaning.
An array of sensors endows Roomba with the intelligence to make its
way around obstacles and treacherous pitfalls, like stairs. Embedded
encoders enable it to do position control and, thus, to operate the
drive wheels so it can turn in any direction. Four infrared (IR) emitter-detector
pairs provide "cliff detection," which tells the machine
it's approaching the edge of a step or drop-off. An omnidirectional
IR receiver about the size of a coffee mug creates a "virtual
wall," to confine the machine to a prescribed area. IR sensors
also help Roomba track a wall, enabling it to move from one part of
the room to another.
All of the control is relegated to an 8-bit, 16-MHz microprocessor,
a 128-byte random-access memory and a custom-designed, multithreaded
operating system.
One of the first Roomba reviews I read, in
PC Magazine a few months ago, said that the problem with it at this
point is that "while the Roomba understands when it's finished
a room or space, it doesn't know when a floor is truly clean. In other
words, it doesn't do repeated passes over an area to clean up every
last bit."
A human who's vacuuming may have to go over a pile of crumbs that's
woven itself among rug fibers a few times, but the robot thinks it picked
up the crumbs.
My dishwasher has a similar tendency to leave food where it finds
it.
Maybe next model.
