IN THEORY, PRIVATELY RUN PRISONS are simply another municipal resource that for-profit management companies like the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) and GEO Group believe can be run cheaper and more efficiently than in the hands of government agencies: a free market alternative to the bureaucratic red tape of waste and regulation in the world of penitentiary administration. But running a penitentiary is not the same as running a municipal sewage authority. Having a monetary value tied to human incarceration and justice creates a deeply perverse incentive that should not exist in the world of commerce. When the for-profit prison industry places the iron fist of criminal justice in the invisible hands of the market and sells it as a cost-cutting measure, it is hard not to interpret as anything but the predatory capitalism of a self-perpetuating slave state. . . .

Corporations are running many Americans prisons, but will they put profits before prisoners?
A grim new statistic: One in every hundred Americans is now locked behind bars. As the prison population grows faster than the government can build prisons, private companies see an opportunity for profit.

ScienceDaily (Sep. 12, 2012) — A team from the University of Leicester is today (Wednesday September 12) announcing a dramatic development in the search for King Richard III.
The search, which has entered a third week, has uncovered evidence of human remains — the first time in the search that this is disclosed.
The University of Leicester is leading the archaeological search for the burial place of King Richard III with Leicester City Council, in association with the Richard III Society.
Over the past two weeks, the team has made major discoveries about the heritage of Leicester by: . . . Read Complete Report

Here’s an interesting post.
Note: For those too young to remember a Church Key is a beer opener. In the days before flip-top cans the beer distributors would throw two or three in a case of beer. What does this have to do with robots? Aren’t they both made of metal??
As we watch the Controllers take over the work force of humans now we find that “they” can help us be more human. All I ask is that they have a handy church key screwed into the robot’s butt, then I won’t even have to get out of bed. Let Will Smith worry about the robots.. . . EDITOR

“Please prove you are not a robot.”
How many times have you seen this as you try to squint your eyes and figure out “is that a t or a q?” typing in some random set of letters to prove you are a human to be granted access to sign into your bank account, Gmail account, etc.? Our entire lives are inundated with machines. Just recently, a friend and mentor, Ashley Bekton, who is a one woman show and a huge supporter of mine, commented on my “detox from technology” article. She mentioned to me that it was almost like we were living in the matrix, rushing through meals so we can get back to our computers, sitting across from the people we love, only to be looking at our texts the whole time. We all seem to blame technology for our issues, when maybe we should start recognizing that we are the ones that have lost the control; it’s not technology’s fault it’s our own! . . .

The robot uses colour to either stand out from its surroundings or blend in, as Stephen Morin from Harvard University describes here (Video produced by the journal Science)
A robot that can change colour to either blend in with or stand out from its surroundings has been created by scientists.
The machine, designed by researchers at Harvard University, was inspired by the camouflage skills of sea creatures such as octopuses, cuttlefish and squid.
Like these cephalopods, the robot has a soft, rubbery body and can move with flexibility.
The study is published in the journal Science . . . Read Complete Report w/ Video
