TheIndyChannel.com - News - Police: Stolen Video Game Machines May Be No Good: "INDIANAPOLIS -- Police say many of the video game systems that were stolen from a warehouse Tuesday night were in the process of being returned because they didn't work.

Authorities said two masked males bound three employees with duct tape before stealing several hundred PlayStation 2 and Xbox video game machines from the warehouse (pictured, left), located in the 3300 block of Pagosa Court.

An employee said one of the robbers had a handgun. No suspects were named Wednesday.

Marion County sheriff's investigators said the machines were at the warehouse because they had been returned, RTV6's Jack Rinehart reported Wednesday.

When the robbers had left, one of the workers managed to call 911.

RTV6 obtained a recording of the 911 call.

'When I came to the door, they pulled my hood over my head and knocked me to the ground,' a worker told a 911 dispatcher. 'Then they duct-taped me up, and I couldn't do anything.'

Police estimated that the robbers were inside the building for 20 or 30 minutes to steal the machines.

The robbers used at least two forklifts to load six pallets onto a waiting truck, police said."

NEWS : "The 40-year-old Mr. Everett was raised in McLean, Va., with his sister Elizabeth, mother Nancy and father Hugh Everett III, a quantum physicist who in 1957 proposed a formal theory of parallel universes known as 'The Many-Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.' 'Everett's work has boggled minds inside and outside physics for more than four decades,' reported Scientific American in last month's issue. Mr. Everett said his brilliant father wasn't communicative at home. When I asked him what the conversation was like around the breakfast table, he replied, 'There wasn't any.' 'Physicists and geniuses don't always make great family men. I lived with him for 18 years and I learned more about him from the Internet.' Mr. Everett's family was a heartrending source of inspiration for his most notable work, the 1998 album 'Electro-Shock Blues' (DreamWorks), written after his sister committed suicide and h...

Digital Cam media safe to fly with

Technocrat.net : "Recent tests found no evidence of X-ray scanner damage to digital camera media cards or to the images they hold. The tests of scanner models currently in use in the U.S. transportation industry were jointly conducted by the International Imaging Industry Association (I3A), the leading global association for the imaging industry; SanDisk Corporation, a manufacturer of digital media cards; and the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA). These findings mean that digital cameras and their image storage media can travel safely in either checked or carry-on bags, which will be reassuring to holiday travelers. And though they were not explicitly tested, it is likely that images on camera-phones will be safe in either situation as well. More care is needed for cameras with film, however, as the X-ray scanners for both checked and carry-on luggage can fog both developed and undeveloped film."

Artist turns animals into everyday objects

Ananova - A Chilean artist is making a name for herself with an exhibition in which stuffed animals are transformed into household objects. Artworks on display include a chick turned into a lamp, and 'sheep bag' - a lamb carcass fitted with handles. Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point. She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful. 'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"
