<p>In addition to the World Cup, this summer featured RoboCup — an international tournament in which teams of soccer-playing robots square off. The level of play is low, and the game is often unsettling to watch, as when a fallen robot player struggles fruitlessly to right itself, limbs flailing. The hope, however, is that by 2050, a robot team skilled enough to compete against humans will be developed.</p>

A newly-unearthed memo hints that it was a CIA experiment, the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-10996838">BBC</a> reports:</p>
<blockquote><p>On August 26, 1951, postman Leon Armunier was doing his rounds in Pont-Saint-Esprit when he was suddenly overwhelmed by nausea and wild hallucinations.</p>
<p>“It was terrible. I had the sensation of shrinking and shrinking, and the fire and the serpents coiling around my arms,” he remembers.</p>
<p>Leon, now 87, fell off his bike and was taken to the hospital in Avignon. He was put in a straitjacket but he shared a room with three teenagers who had been chained to their beds to keep them under control.</p>
<p>Over the coming days, dozens of other people in the town fell prey to similar symptoms. Doctors at the time concluded that bread at one of the town’s bakeries had become contaminated by ergot,…</p>

<p>Ben Affleck’s next movie, <em>The Town</em>, is set in Charlestown, Mass, known for the battle of Bunker Hill and dubbed in the past by tabloid TV as “hell’s half acre” for all the crimes that take place there. The film, a cops and robbers tale, focuses on a gang that robs banks with extreme violence. Its ads refer to Charlestown as national capitol of bank robberies.</p>
<p>Actually the take by the gangsters there doesn’t come close to the amount of money stolen by “Banksters” and banks on Wall Street.</p>

<p>Movies like Oliver Stone’s <em>Wall Street 2</em> delve into its well-mined culture of greed, with the director, perhaps chastened by the criticisms of his recent political travelogue in South America, assuring the <em>New York Times</em> it’s not a “Michael Moore movie” whatever that means. Presumably it’s not explicitly political. (The <em>Wall Street Journal</em> called my film <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033HKDZE?ie=UTF8&tag=disinformation&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0033HKDZE"><em>Plunder: The Crime of Our Time</em></a> “the Anti-Wall Street Film That’s Not Just for Michael Moore fans.”)</p>
<p>A new studio backed documentary by Charles Ferguson about the financial crisis is titled <em>Inside Jobs</em>. It’s more about the business collapse than the crimes that caused it…</p>

<p>The crown jewel is an almost-too-good-to-be-true comic/zine starring buff icons Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig – as gay lovers.</p>
<p>When we first saw this book among Microcosm’s up-coming releases, we anticipated a kind of tongue-in-cheek fan-fiction romance in which the macho-rockers put their tongues in one another’s cheeks – oral or otherwise.</p>
<p>While <em>Henry and Glenn’</em> wasn’t what we’d expected, we’ve fallen in love with this warm wonder of sweet insanity.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;"><em>Henry and Glenn’ </em>consists of a number of barely connected cartoons, comic strips and journal entries created by the <a title="Igloo Tornado!" href="http://www.iglootornado.com">Igloo Tornado</a> art collective. Rollins is clearly “The Man” in their relationship and some of the book’s best bits find Danzig decked out in various accoutrements, inquiring whether a given get-up makes “my butt look fat?”.</span></p>

<p>The shamanic use of sacred plants has long demonstrated some amazing mental health benefits. Now a new study reports that magic mushrooms, a/k/a psilocybin, are beneficial for terminal cancer patients. Anne Harding reports for <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/09/06/magic.mushrooms.ease.anxiety/?hpt=T2">Health.com/CNN</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Terminally ill cancer patients struggling with anxiety may get some relief from a guided “trip” on the hallucinogenic drug psilocybin, a new study suggests.</p>
<p>The study included 12 patients who took a small dose of psilocybin — the active ingredient in “magic mushrooms” — while under the supervision of trained therapists. In a separate session, the participants took a placebo pill, which had little effect on their symptoms.</p>
<p>By contrast, one to three months after taking psilocybin the patients reported feeling less anxious and their overall mood had improved. By the six-month mark, the group’s average score on a common scale used to measure depression had declined by 30 percent, according to the study,…</p>

<p><a href="http://www.viennadeclaration.com/index.html">The Vienna Declaration</a> is a statement seeking to improve community health and safety by calling for the incorporation of scientific evidence into illicit drug policies. We are inviting scientists, health practitioners and the public to endorse this document in order to bring these issues to the attention of governments and international agencies, and to illustrate that drug policy reform is a matter of urgent international significance. We also welcome organizational endorsements. </p>
<p>The declaration process was launched as the the official declaration of the XVIII International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2010) held in Vienna, Austria from July 18th to 23rd. The declaration was drafted by a team of international experts and initiated by several of the world’s leading HIV and drug policy scientific bodies: the International AIDS Society, the International Centre for Science in Drug Policy (ICSDP), and the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS. </p>

<p>This won’t be news to some, but the details are telling. Back in 2006 <a href="http://www.livescience.com/strangenews/060124_political_decisions.html">LiveScience reported</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Democrats and Republicans alike are adept at making decisions without letting the facts get in the way, a new study shows.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p>And they get quite a rush from ignoring information that’s contrary to their point of view.</p>
<p>Researchers asked staunch party members from both sides to evaluate information that threatened their preferred candidate prior to the 2004 Presidential election. The subjects’ brains were monitored while they pondered.</p>
<p>The results were announced today.</p>
<p>“We did not see any increased activation of the parts of the brain normally engaged during reasoning,” said Drew Westen, director of clinical psychology at Emory University. “What we saw instead was a network of emotion circuits lighting up, including circuits hypothesized to be involved in regulating emotion, and circuits known to be involved in resolving conflicts.”</p>

From the <a href="http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2010/09/another_ex-scie.php">Village Voice</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Adding to Scientology’s woes, some of the people who have been making defections in recent years are turning around and writing damning tell-alls.</p>
<p>Regular publishers won’t touch these books — even though some of them are actually very well written — so the authors have had to go the self-published route.</p>
<p>Last year’s killer I-escaped-from-Scientology narrative was put out by Marc Headley. His <em>Blown for Good </em>made for a gripping read, about a low-level grunt who spent years at Scientology’s secret HQ in the California desert until he finally made a mad dash for freedom.</p>
<p>This year, we can report that Headley’s book has been equaled. In <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0615375642?ie=UTF8&tag=disinformation&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0615375642"><em>Counterfeit Dreams: One Man’s Journey Into and Out of the World of Scientology</em></a>, ex-Scientologist Jefferson Hawkins not only provides his own dramatic tale of getting sucked into and ultimately escaping from Scientology, but Hawkins was no low-level scrub.</p>
<p>He, maybe more than any other single person, may be the reason Scientology ever became as popular as it did…</p></blockquote>

Thomas Friedman makes some good points about the debt-laden nation that leads — or used to lead — the world, in the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/05/opinion/05friedman.html">New York Times</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>In recent years, I have often said to European friends: So, you didn’t like a world of too much American power? See how you like a world of too little American power — because it is coming to a geopolitical theater near you. Yes, America has gone from being the supreme victor of World War II, with guns and butter for all, to one of two superpowers during the cold war, to the indispensable nation after winning the cold war, to “The Frugal Superpower” of today. Get used to it. That’s our new nickname. American pacifists need not worry any more about “wars of choice.” We’re not doing that again. We can’t afford to invade Grenada today. </p>
<p>Ever since the onset of the Great Recession of 2008, it has been clear that the nature of being a leader — political or corporate — was changing in America. During most of the post-World War II era, being a leader meant, on balance, giving things away to people. Today, and for the next decade at least, being a leader in America will mean, on balance, taking things away from people…</p></blockquote>

<p>It’s not often that I find myself agreeing with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but on 9/11 I think he’s right — we haven’t been told the full story of what happened on September 11, 2001. From <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.0edfcdf5d04d341b44f73476886f2a3e.81&show_article=1">AFP via Breitbart.com</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has questioned the accepted narrative of the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, saying it was still not clear who was behind them.<br />
“Something happened in New York and still nobody knows who the main perpetrators of that act were,” Ahmadinejad told diplomats and newspaper editors late on Sunday while on a brief visit to Qatar.</p>
<p>“No independent people were allowed to try and identify the perpetrators,” he charged.</p>
<p>“They say terrorists were hidden in Afganistan and NATO mobilised all its resources and attacked Afghanistan,” he said.</p>
<p>“They say that in the Twin Towers, 2,000 people were killed. In Afganistan, so far more 110,000 have been killed.”</p>

From the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/health/boostershots/la-heb-money-20100906,0,6014464.story?track=rss">Los Angeles Times</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Does happiness rise with income? In one of the more scientific attempts to answer that question, researchers from Princeton have put a price on happiness. It’s about $75,000 in income a year.</p>
<p>They found that not having enough money definitely causes emotional pain and unhappiness. But, after reaching an income of about $75,000 per year, money can’t buy happiness. More money can, however, help people view their lives as successful or better.</p>
<p>In the study, researchers tried to evaluate the effect of money in two ways: One was on how people think about their lives and the other was on the feelings they have as they experience life. Responses from more than 450,000 Americans, gathered in 2008 and 2009, were evaluated.</p>
<p>The study found that people’s evaluations of their lives improved steadily with annual…</p>

<blockquote><p>Has Big Brother begun dabbling in fringe science? No, it’s just a mutant street art project by the artist duo Helden. Here’s how Helden (a.k.a. Thomas voor ‘t Hekke and Bas van Oerle) describe their camerabirds:</p>
<p><em>‘panoptICONS’ addresses the fact that you are constantly being watched by surveillance cameras in city centres. The surveillance camera seems to have become a real pest that feeds on our privacy. To represent this, camera birds — city birds with cameras instead of heads — were placed throughout the city centre of Utrecht where they feed on our presence. In addition, a camera bird in captivity was displayed to show the feeding process and to make the everyday breach of our privacy more personal and tangible.</em></p></blockquote>

<p>Noah Millman writes for the <a href="http://theamericanscene.com/2010/04/26/notes-toward-a-new-political-taxonomy">American Scene</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>It has become clear to me over the years that one of the causes of persistent confusion in our political arguments is the interchangeable use of taxonomic terms that, while they may have a natural affinity, are not actually synonyms.</p>
<p>Three terms that tend to get used interchangeably are:</p>
<p>Left / Liberal / Progressive</p>
<p>Their counterparts on the other side of the political spectrum are treated similarly:</p>
<p>Right / Conservative / Reactionary</p>
<p>The shades of difference among the meanings of the words within the triads, however, are not minor. One can very well be extremely right-wing without being a reactionary in any meaningful sense — think of Ayn Rand. One can be extremely left-wing without being a liberal in any meaningful sense — think of Lenin.</p>
<p>I propose, therefore, to accentuate the differences between the words commonly lumped together, to clear up all ambiguities by assigning technical meanings to commonly-used terms,…</p>

A prototype is being tested, and the first 20 Kestrel cars will be delivered next year. No word on what sort of fumes are emitted by the tailpipe.

<p>The Kestrel will be prototyped and tested later in August by Calgary-based Motive Industries Inc., a vehicle development firm focused on advanced materials and technologies, the company announced.</p>

This recent <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-lanza/does-the-past-exist-yet-e_b_683103.html">Huffington Post</a> piece discusses the possibility that what you do in the present shapes both future and past — “historical events such as who killed JFK, might depend on events that haven’t occurred yet.”</p>
<blockquote><p>Recent discoveries require us to rethink our understanding of history. “The histories of the universe,” said renowned physicist Stephen Hawking “depend on what is being measured, contrary to the usual idea that the universe has an objective observer-independent history.”</p>
<p>Is it possible we live and die in a world of illusions? Physics tells us that objects exist in a suspended state until observed, when they collapse in to just one outcome. Paradoxically, whether events happened in the past may not be determined until sometime in your future — and may even depend on actions that you haven’t taken yet.</p>

From the <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1309194/New-Zealand-earthquake-rips-new-fault-line-Earths-surface-lurches-11ft.html">Daily Mail</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The earthquake that devastated a city in New Zealand tore open a new 11ft faultine in the Earth’s surface.</p>
<p>The 7.1-magnitude quake which hit Christchurch, the country’s second-largest city, destroyed about 500 buildings and caused an estimated £930million of damage.</p>
<p>But hundreds of lives were saved by tough building rules, it was claimed. Only two injuries were reported.</p>
<p>The quake was caused by the continuing collision between the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, said Professor Mark Quigley, of Canterbury University.</p>
<p>‘One side of the Earth has lurched to the right … up to 11ft and in some places been thrust up,’ he said. ‘We went and saw two houses that were completely snapped in half by the earthquake.’</p>
<p>The quake cut power across the region, roads were blocked by debris and gas and water supplies were disrupted…</p>

<blockquote><p>“They’re leaving as heroes. I want them to walk home with pride in their hearts,” declared Col. John Norris, the head of a US Army brigade in Iraq.</p>
<p>It’s enough to bring tears to the eyes of an American, enough to make him choke up.</p>
<p>Enough to make him forget.</p>
<p>But no American should be allowed to forget that the nation of Iraq, the society of Iraq, have been destroyed, ruined, a failed state. The Americans, beginning 1991, bombed for 12 years, with one excuse or another; then invaded, then occupied, overthrew the government, killed wantonly, tortured … the people of that unhappy land have lost everything — their homes, their schools, their electricity, their clean water, their environment, their neighborhoods, their mosques, their archaeology, their jobs, their careers, their professionals, their state-run enterprises, their physical health, their mental health, their health care, their welfare state, their women’s…</p>

<p>Cool news from Intel, so I wonder if Apple is working on an iThink. Richard Gray writes in the <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/7957664/Computers-that-read-minds-are-being-developed-by-Intel.html">Telegraph</a>:<br />
<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/7957664/Computers-that-read-minds-are-being-developed-by-Intel.html"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-35409" style="margin-right: 15px; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="Computers That Read Minds?" src="http://disinfo.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/ComputerMind.jpg" alt="Computers That Read Minds?" width="264" height="212" /></a></p>
<p>Unlike current brain-controlled computers, which require users to imagine making physical movements to control a cursor on a screen, the new technology will be capable of directly interpreting words as they are thought.</p>
<blockquote><p>Intel’s scientists are creating detailed maps of the activity in the brain for individual words which can then be matched against the brain activity of someone using the computer, allowing the machine to determine the word they are thinking.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Preliminary tests of the system have shown that the computer can work out words by looking at similar brain patterns and looking for key differences that suggest what the word might be.</p>
<p>Dean Pomerleau, a senior researcher at Intel Laboratories, said that currently, the devices required to get sufficient detail of brain activity were bulky, expensive magnetic resonance scanners, like those used…</p>

<p>With audible murmurs of “This is no way to live,” “What the hell am I doing here — I hate it here,” and “Fuck this place.

<p>VIa <a>TED</a>:</p>
<p>Are you a conservative who believes liberals have no moral values? Are you a liberal who believes conservatives have no moral values? Either way, you’d be wrong.</p>
<p>Do you believe liberals have an unbiased grasp of reality? Do you believe conservatives have an unbiased grasp of reality? Again, either way, you’d be wrong.</p>
<p>Watch as psychologist Jonathan Haidt tries to lead a group of (mostly) liberals out of their “comforting delusions” (his exact phrase) at the 2008 TED conference, and wonder how successful he’d be in front of a group of Tea Partiers.</p>

</p>
<p>A British lawyer’s firm sent thousands of letters demanding £500 ($800) damage payments over filesharing, based on IP addresses obtained from ISPs. But now England’s Solicitors Regulation Authority <a href="http://tech.blorge.com/Structure:%20/2010/08/24/filesharing-bully-lawyer-facing-disiplinary-tribunal/">is referring that lawyer to a disciplinary tribunal</a> after hearing strong complaints from a consumer watchdog group. Which? Magazine had received testimonials from more than 20 different people who insisted they hadn’t actually shared any files, and were being wrongly accused. (”It appears few if any of the recipients have subsequently been successfully prosecuted over the claims…”)</p>
<p>Today the consumer group which publishes the magazine applauded the news of the disciplinary tribunal, “because we’ve received so many complaints from consumers who believe they been treated appallingly by this law firm.” The filesharing could’ve occurred over unsecure wireless connections, the group argues, and they added that the lawyer’s behavior was “both aggressive and bullying.”</p>
