Ferrari Developing Mind-Reading Car?
February 28th, 2011
AOL Autos
By: Craig Howie
Stepping into a Ferrari’s sleek cockpit is enough to set anyone’s pulse racing. But what if that was a bad thing? Italy’s most illustrious motoring marque is working on an in-car system that monitors a driver’s mental state behind the wheel, according to a British car magazine. Effectively, future mind-blowing Ferraris may also read a driver’s mind.
The idea behind the device is thaat Ferrari drivers may get just a little excited — go figure — and this heightened state could lead them to drive more dangerously. The way it works is that a series of in-cabin sensors will monitor a driver’s heart rate, blood pressure, facial reactions and brain activity. The sensors will act to increase safety by detecting not only a state of excitement but also by monitoring a driver’s alertness, or indeed tiredness, by way of their blink rate. The car’s performance is then automatically adjusted through the car’s stability control systems.
Some car manufacturers like Volvo already include so-called heartbeat sensors in their cars, though these are to detect if an intruder is hiding in the back seat. Stability and traction control systems in most new performance cars (and increasingly mid-range vehicles) frequently override driver reactions if they are deemed to be unsafe. GM and Ford recently unveiled their plans for cars that adjust automatically to factors beyond a driver’s control including road and traffic conditions.
According to Autocar, Ferrari has filed a series of global patent applications that state: “Drivers tend to miscalculate — in particular, overestimate — their driving skill and, more importantly, their psychophysical condition, with the result that driver-selected dynamic vehicle performance simply reflects the driver’s wish, as opposed to the driver’s actual psychophysical condition and proficiency.”
It continues: “The biometric sensors may comprise a piezoelectric measuring device for measuring the driver’s respiration, a device for measuring the driver’s blood pressure and heart rate, a television camera for monitoring the driver’s eyes (blink rate) to determine the driver’s alertness, a device for monitoring the electric activity of the driver’s brain, a device for recording the driver’s surface temperature and a device for recording the conductivity of the driver’s skin (to determine the degree of perspiration).”
While stopping short of suggesting that the car ultimately will drive itself, Ferrari’s ingenuity takes the concept of driver and car connectivity to a new level. Although Ferrari says the technology will be “non-invasive,” drivers presumably will be able to monitor their own performance by feeling out the car’s responsiveness. Effectively, the car’s performance will be a measure of their own. Spooky, huh?
Questions remain in terms of legal implications should a car that’s had its performance electronically downshifted be involved in an accident. There’s no word yet on whether the cars would include a sensor to detect driver alcohol intake. And of course, we’d also ask what’s the point of owning a Ferrari whose performance could change, quite literally, in the blink of an eye, without the driver being able to control it, save pulling over for a quick rest.
Paul Green, a Driver Interaction research professor at the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute, told AOL Autos that the challenge carmakers face is to make a monitoring system that is both reliable and inexpensive. He predicts such systems will one day be commonplace on trucks for long-distance driving but wonders if it’s something a typical Ferrari buyer would want in their car.
“If I buy a Ferrari I want to have fun. Why would I want something that affects its performance?” he said.
Alongside monitoring fatigue, he said that it could be useful in monitoring first-time buyers’ reactions or to forensically measure driver reactions in the moments before a road-rage incident or high-speed crash.
“To measure heartbeat is simple, people do it in laboratory studies, but monitoring when people start to close their eyes could be a better indicator of fatigue. The one that’s most promising is the camera that looks at the face and eyes. It can not only detect drowsiness but also detect the driver being distracted,” he said.
Earlier this month GM gave an early peek at its plans for a car and driver interaction at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. By collecting road and traffic data and then aggregating the data from many cars, as displayed on its EN-V concept, GM believes it can build an accurate picture of a driving environment and its cars can react accordingly. Ford engineers recently told AOL Autos of the importance of a car interacting with the “ecosphere” around it, describing it as a key part of its strategy going forward.
No matter how this all plays out, Ferrari’s research is a sign that drivers in future will be much more connected to a car and its environment than merely parking their behinds in the driver’s seat.Driving by the seat of your pants may become a thing of the past.

FBI Arrests a Suspected Bomb Plotter
February 28, 2011 by Andrew

February 28th, 2011
Wall Street Journal
By: Evan Perez
Federal agents charged a Saudi student in Texas with attempting to construct improvised explosives and compiling a list of possible targets, including the home of former President George W. Bush.
Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, 20 years old, was arrested and charged in a federal criminal complaint with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. Mr. Aldawsari is in the U.S. on a 2008 student visa and is enrolled at South Plains College, near Lubbock, Texas.
Federal Bureau of Investigation agents have scrambled in recent weeks to determine whether Mr. Aldawsari has links to international terrorist groups and have found none, according to U.S. officials. Mr. Aldawsari is set to appear in federal court in Lubbock on Friday and faces up to life in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
Attempts to contact Mr. Aldawsari’s attorney weren’t successful.
The FBI alleges that electronic surveillance and searches of Mr. Aldawsari’s apartment turned up Internet blog postings and a personal journal that expressed his desire for jihad and martyrdom.
An FBI affidavit filed in federal court says the investigation began Feb. 1 after a North Carolina company alerted law enforcement about suspicious purchases of the chemical phenol. The FBI says phenol has common legitimate uses but can be used to make trinitrophenol, an explosive also known as picric acid.
After the company’s shipping restrictions for the chemical thwarted the purchase, Mr. Aldawsari bought the chemical and other ingredients—including wiring, clocks and lab equipment to help make explosives—from other sources, including Amazon.com, according to the FBI affidavit.
In recent years, jihadi websites and articles published in the Yemeni al Qaeda affiliate’s magazine have urged Muslims living in Western countries to build improvised explosives from substances easily found in anyone’s kitchen. It isn’t clear whether Mr. Aldawsari viewed those websites.
Federal authorities have developed tripwires in the private sector that could alert them to terrorism suspects who are seeking to buy ingredients for explosives. For instance, companies that sell chemicals often used in hair products are required to maintain records and report suspicious customer purchases.
James T. Jacks, the U.S. attorney in Dallas, credited the information supplied by the public with thwarting Mr. Aldawsari.
Mr. Aldawsari’s alleged plot was derailed in part by what appear to be his own missteps. According to the FBI, he sent himself bomb recipes through email accounts that were monitored by investigators. He also allegedly maintained a personal journal, which FBI agents copied during searches of his apartment.
The criminal complaint alleges that Mr. Aldawsari emailed himself a list of possible targets for attack, including the Dallas address of former President Bush, reservoirs and dams in Colorado and California, nuclear-power plants and Dallas nightclubs.
Mr. Aldawsari also researched realistic-looking baby dolls, which the FBI alleges he considered using to hide explosives.
In one journal entry, the suspect said the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks produced a “big change” in his thinking and that he was inspired by Osama bin Laden, according to the FBI.
Another journal entry cited by the FBI is alleged to read in Arabic: “I excelled in my studies in high school in order to take advantage of an opportunity for a scholarship to America, offered by the [Saudi] government and its companies….Now, after mastering the English language, learning how to build explosives, and continuous planning to target the infidel Americans, it is time for jihad.”

Teacher Was Fired Over Bumper Sticker
February 28th, 2011

By: Peter Busch
The longest red light in the world would not give you enough time to read all the bumper stickers on Tarah Ausburn’s Toyota Prius hybrid.
“I just like the ability to take a controversial topic and sum it up in one clever line. I’m an English teacher; that’s what I do,” Ausburn told CBS 5 News.
But this English teacher found herself in the principal’s office after she said some parents at Imagine Prep High School in Surprise started complaining about a bumper sticker on Ausburn’s car that asks, “Have you drugged your kid today?”
“It’s kind of a criticism of us tending to over-medicate hyperactive kids who might not need those medications,” said Ausburn, who said she has been a teacher for seven years.
Ausburn said she did not share her opinion in class, but that school officials fired her for refusing to remove the bumper sticker.
Ausburn’s story was first publicized on the Web site thesociallyaware.com.
CBS 5 News contacted officials at Imagine Prep, who initially agreed to speak on camera about Ausburn’s situation. They later canceled the interview.
Ausburn said she is fighting to get her job back, claiming that her First Amendment rights were violated.

Flame Retardants Found in Butter
February 28th, 2011
The New York Times
By: Julie Scelfo
For about a decade, scientists have known that most Americans have minute quantities of flame retardants called polybrominated diphenyl ethers, PBDEs, in their bodies, but they were not sure how they got there.
Now a study has found what the authors say is the first documented case of serious PBDE contamination of food in the United States. The authors of the study, in the February issue of the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, bought packages of 10 brands of butter at grocery stores in Dallas and shipped frozen samples to a laboratory in Germany. Sophisticated tests there found trace amounts of PBDEs in each sample, with one having 2,000 times more than the others.
“It’s very startling,” said Dr. Arnold Schecter, professor of environmental and occupational health sciences at the University of Texas School of Public Health at Dallas and an adviser to the Environmental Protection Agency. “It was so much higher than we had ever seen before, and this just stood out like a sore thumb.”
After further testing, the researchers, who include the director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences of the National Institutes of Health, concluded the butter with the highest level of PBDEs was probably contaminated by chemicals in its wrapper.
The Environmental Protection Agency says PBDEs, which are widely used in furniture foam, consumer electronics and small appliances, accumulate in the body and may damage the liver and thyroid and cause neurodevelopmental problems. But Dr. Schecter and other scientists are quick to insist the findings should not cause anyone to stop eating butter. (According to two scientists who were not involved with the study, the average adult would have to consume more than 28 pounds of the highly contaminated butter each day before the quantity would reach levels the Environmental Protection Agency considers risky.)
The research is further evidence of why the Food and Drug Administration “should do a better job of studying how food is contaminated with PBDEs and other chemical pollutants,” Dr. Schecter said. “Just as lead and dioxins and PCBs have been lowered in the environment and in food, government action can reduce the amount of PBDEs in the environment.”
While the recently passed Food Safety Modernization Act gives the agency greater authority over the nation’s food supply, Douglas Karas, an F.D.A. spokesman, said there were no plans to require manufacturers to test specifically for PBDEs.

McDonald’s ‘Wholesome’ Oatmeal Not So Healthy
February 28th, 2011
ABC News
By: Maggy Patrick
McDonald’s sells its oatmeal as a healthy breakfast alternative, but according to one food critic, it includes too many not-so-healthy ingredients.
Its new oatmeal, which McDonald’s released nationwide last month as a “bowl full of wholesome,” is actually a crock full of something else, according to Mark Bittman, a food author and blogger for The New York Times.
“It’s put forward as this wholesome thing when, in fact, it’s sort of an amalgam of ingredients you wouldn’t ordinarily have at home,” he said.
The oatmeal bought in any grocery store across the country only has one ingredient, oats. But McDonald’s oatmeal has 21 ingredients, including natural flavor, barley malt extract and caramel color.
“I think it’s misleading to portray this as a healthy breakfast because the McDonald’s oatmeal has about the same amount of sugar as a Snickers bar, has about the same amount of calories as one of their hamburgers, costs more than one of their hamburgers,” Bittman said. “It’s just an odd way to go about serving a healthy breakfast.”
Julia Braun, a registered dietitian for McDonald’s USA, points out that people also add ingredients to the oatmeal they buy in the store.
“Nobody really eats just rolled oats, you need to put things in it to make oatmeal,” she said. She also said it’s misleading to compare McDonald’s oatmeal to a Snickers bar.
“About half (of the sugar) comes from natural sources,” she said of McDonald’s oatmeal. “That’s providing a half a cup of fruit, or a quarter of your day’s fruit.”
“The vast majority of sugar comes from brown sugar and the naturally ocurring sugar in the apples, raisins and craberries – all of which are optional,” said McDonald’s in a statement.
The sugar is optional, but you have to ask not to get it.
The company worked on the roll-out of its oatmeal for more than a year. ABC News’ John Berman taste tested some at its headquarters last summer.
Best Option: Make It at Home
The calorie count in McDonald’s oatmeal is hardly outlandish, at 290 calories fully loaded with cream and fruit. Plain oats — with no additives — are 150 calories per serving, before adding any sugar, syrup or fruits.
Bittman said the best option is to make it at home.
“You’re saving money and you’re dealing with something that’s really straightforward,” he said. “A natural product that only has in it what you want to put in it.”

Dollar Drops to Almost Four-Month Low on Prospects for Fed, ECB
February 28th, 2011
BusinessWeek.com
By: Allison Bennett and Lukanyo Mnyanda
The dollar fell to its lowest since November against the currencies of six U.S. trade partners on bets Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke will signal to Congress the central bank plans to maintain economic stimulus.
The euro rose against the dollar on speculation European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet may indicate this week a readiness to increase borrowing costs. Sweden’s krona climbed to a 30-month high after Riksbank Governor Stefan Ingves said the central bank may boost interest rates at every meeting this year. Canada’s currency reached a three-year high versus the greenback.
“The FX market will want to see the juxtaposition between Bernanke and Trichet this week,” said Greg Anderson, a currency strategist at Citigroup Inc. in New York. “The Riksbank comments are pretty critical and if you think that’s reflective of what the ECB and Bank of England would say and do, you’ve got to be pricing in more hawkishness on that side of the Atlantic than this side.”
IntercontinentalExchange Inc.’s Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against currencies including the euro and yen, decreased as much as 0.7 percent to 76.756, the lowest level since Nov. 9, before trading at 76.801 at 10:20 a.m. in New York, compared with 77.275 on Feb. 25. The gauge has fallen 1.2 percent in February.
The dollar remained lower versus most major peers even after the Institute for Supply Management-Chicago Inc.’s business barometer unexpectedly rose to 71.2 this month, the highest level since July 1988, from 68.8 in January.
Consumer Spending Falls
U.S. consumer spending rose less than forecast in January, accelerating 0.2 percent amid increasing fuel and food costs, data from the Commerce Department showed today. Another report showed European inflation stayed above the ECB’s 2 percent target for a second month in January.
The Swedish krona appreciated as much as 2 percent to 6.2934 versus the dollar, the strongest level since August 2008, on the outlook for higher interest rates. It traded at 6.2954.
There is “an increased probability that the repo rate will be raised at all of the monetary policy meetings held this year,” Ingves said in the minutes of the bank’s Feb. 14 meeting, published today. The Riksbank raised its benchmark repo rate this month for a fifth time since July, to 1.5 percent.
The krona appreciated 1.5 percent to 8.7093 per euro, from 8.8353 on Feb. 25. It has climbed 4.9 percent this year, according to Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Currency Indexes, which track the currencies of 10 developed nations. The euro has risen 1.3 percent, while the dollar has lost 2.3 percent.
ECB Meeting
An ECB governing council member, Mario Draghi, said on Feb. 26 that inflation pressures are forcing policy makers to focus more closely on the timing of future interest-rate increases.
The ECB, which has kept its key interest rate at 1 percent since May 2009, will hold its next policy meeting on March 3.
The 17-nation euro gained 0.5 percent to $1.3827, extending its monthly advance to 1 percent, and rose 0.7 percent to 113.16 yen. It was up for the first time in three days against the Swiss franc, gaining 0.4 percent to 1.2824. Japan’s currency slid 0.2 percent to 81.85 per dollar.
Bernanke is scheduled to deliver the Fed’s semiannual report on monetary policy to the Senate Banking Committee tomorrow and is due to testify before the House Financial Services Committee on the following day.
Fed Policy Makers
The Federal Open Market Committee affirmed last month plans to continue its program of buying $600 billion of Treasuries through June even as policy makers increased their projections for U.S. growth this year. The Fed has kept its benchmark interest rate at zero to 0.25 percent since December 2008.
Oil prices at almost a 29-month high and concern political turmoil that cut Libya’s output will spread have curtailed demand for currencies related to economic growth.
“We’ve had a pause for breath after the events of the past few days,” said Jeremy Stretch, executive director of foreign- exchange strategy at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in London. While political instability in the Middle East “hasn’t spiraled out of control,” there are “still enough headwinds out there to be wary,” he said.
Crude oil for April delivery rose as much 2.1 percent to $99.96 a barrel in New York before trading at $97.29. It rose last week to $103.41, the highest level since September 2008.
Canada’s dollar touched its strongest level against the dollar since Feb. 28, 2008, after a government report showed the nation’s economy grew at a 3.3 percent annual pace in the fourth quarter, more than economists forecast.
The currency was headed for a 2.8 percent rally this month before tomorrow’s meeting of the Bank of Canada, which has expressed concern that its strength may stall growth.
Canada’s dollar appreciated 0.4 percent to 97.40 cents per U.S. dollar, from 97.74 on Feb. 25. It touched 97.28 cents.

February Sees Gold Up 6%, Silver 19%
February 28th, 2011
ResourceInvestor.com
By: Mark O’Byrne
The paper-driven sell off in the gold market seen in January has been trumped by continuing robust physical demand in January and February. This has resulted in gold rising nearly 6% in February and silver’s strong industrial and investment demand leading to a 19% rise to new nominal 30-year highs.
Political, and more importantly socioeconomic, revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa are leading to a degree of geopolitical instability and risk not seen in many years. This is leading to concerns about oil supplies from the region and hence the 14% jump in US crude oil just last week and deepening inflation concerns.
Hopes that the feudal Saudi regime will contain the situation by increasing production and exporting more oil are misplaced as the Saudis are already producing oil at maximum capacity and indeed are likely to have been overstating their oil reserves for some years, possibly considerably.
With all eyes on the Middle East and North Africa, there has been less focus on the continuing European sovereign debt crisis. However, the crisis continues and recent days and weeks have seen government bonds in Greece and Ireland again come under pressure.
The yield on Greek bonds (10-year) have risen to over 11.6% in recent days and the yield on Ireland’s 10-year reached a new record high of 9.40% this morning after the Irish electorate “liquidated” the Fianna Fail/Green government over the weekend. While the new government is likely to be a centrist Fine Gael and Labour one, there has been a swing to the left with Sinn Fein, the Workers Party and many left leaning independents elected.
The majority of Irish people are seeking that the massive debts of the Irish and European banking systems, incurred against them, be restructured or defaulted. Therefore, the new government will be under pressure to negotiate a fairer, more equitable settlement with the European Commission and the ECB with possible ramifications for the many European banks who lent irresponsibly to Irish banks.
Political and economic instability in Europe is set to continue and while the Irish used the ballot box, citizens in some EU countries may not be as peaceful or passive. While the euro has bounced against the beleaguered US dollar recently (the dollar looks very vulnerable to breaking down technically (see chart above), gold above EUR 1,000/oz (€1,020/oz this morning) is a sign that the euro’s troubles are far from over and further euro weakness in the coming months will see gold rise above the EUR 1,072/oz high seen at the end of 2010 (Dec. 28).
The move by the popular Egyptian Front for Reclaiming the People’s Wealth to ban the export of gold in order to preserve the wealth of the impoverished Egyptian people is a prudent one. The move may be emulated in other countries in the coming months leading to a further decline in scrap supply from emerging markets.
Conversely, mooted proposals by the Vietnamese Central Bank to ban “gold bullion trading” (see news below) are somewhat bizarre. If true this would be a very important development as the Vietnamese are some of the largest buyers of gold bullion in the world. It is unclear whether the proposed ban is simply to prevent “trading” or speculative short term buying and selling, or actually a move to ban the buying of gold bullion ingots and jewelry by Vietnamese households. If it is the latter, it will be unworkable as buying will simply move to the black market or Vietnamese will buy from overseas from bullion dealers.
Gold
Gold is trading at $1,410.50/oz, €1,020.11/oz and £868.59/oz.
Silver
Silver is trading at $33.43/oz, €24.18/oz and £20.59/oz.

Labor Battles Rage On in Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana
February 25, 2011 by Andrew

February 25th, 2011
AOL News
By: Dana Chivvis
As a raucous week in the Midwest comes to an end, several state legislatures remain deadlocked over bills that many see as attempts to wrest power away from unions.
Wisconsin
In the wee hours of this morning, Republicans in the State Assembly held a “flash” vote, passing a controversial bill eradicating collective bargaining for most public employees, before Democrats had a handle on what was happening.
Debate on the bill began in the Assembly on Tuesday morning and had lasted an exhausting 61 hours, as Democrats attempted to filibuster.
At 1 a.m. this morning, Speaker Pro Tem Bill Kramer opened and closed the vote in a matter of seconds. When it was over, only 13 of the 38 Democrats had managed to get in their votes.
Republican Assembly members stood up and left the chamber immediately following the surprise vote, as Democrats threw papers, shouted “shame!” at their counterparts and called them cowards, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported.
With only two-thirds of the chamber voting, the legislation passed 51–17 and will now be sent to the Senate, whose 14 Democrats are still in hiding in Illinois. Their absence means the Senate cannot achieve a quorum to hold a vote.
Iowa
After 15 hours of debate, Republicans in Iowa’s House Labor Committee passed a bill at 6 a.m. today that weakens collective bargaining rights for public employees. Though Democrats proposed more than 50 amendments to the bill, House Study Bill 117, it passed 9-5 along party lines.
The legislation would eliminate collective bargaining for health insurance and retirement plans, bar unions from having a role in decisions involving layoffs, give the governor and the Legislature veto power over decisions made by an arbitrator, lift restrictions on outsourcing and allow workers to become non-unionized “free agents,” according to the Iowa Independent.
The bill will be sent to the full chamber for a vote.
Ohio
Workers in Ohio are rallying against Senate Bill 5, which would weaken collective bargaining rights by disallowing them for all negotiations except wage talks. It would also ban strikes and end binding arbitration.
Republican Gov. John Kasich and supporters of the legislation say it will help close the state’s $8 billion budget deficit.
Indiana
With all but three House Democrats hiding out in Urbana, Ill., Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma postponed all activity in the chamber until Monday, according to The Indianapolis Star. The Democrats are protesting 11 proposed bills. Earlier this week, Republicans killed a controversial “right to work” bill, which would ban contracts that require non-union members to pay union fees.
