- Can you fault these Irish language advocates for their inability to speak the language? Better to fault the education in the language provided to them and the political environment they grew up in. Same here in Hawai'i. A generation of native speakers here decided not to pass the language to their children, mostly to the atmosphere and politics of their era. The EU should still recognize the language. |

Robot Dogs (Jan 09 2004 00:52 GMT) - The US army has hired two robotics firms to design robot dogs, for the purpose of carrying equipment. "Today's soldiers carry as much as 100 pounds of equipment. That's exhausting, even for the toughest grunt. In the future, the Army wants to dump up to half that gear onto the back of a drone" "We're at the bottom of the pyramid right now," said Ben Krupp, president of Yobotics, which won a $750,000, two-year TACOM grant to build a Great Dane-sized drone. "It's tough just to get a four-legged robot... |

- In an announcement that is sure to get plenty of attention, actor Morgan Freeman announced (along with Intel) that his production company will be simultaneously releasing his next movie in theaters and online. Of course, they don't explain how they intend to do this, what technology they'll use or how much they're going to charge. Still, should be an interesting experiment. I'd be interested to see if they provide any sort of incentive to try to get people to go see the movie in the theater, instead of just downloading it. |

- Something I've always wondered about.. if I open a parentheses, and then want to end the parenthesized portion of text with a smiley, do I have to also close the parentheses? Having two close-parentheses would be correct, since the first one is the mouth of the smiley and the second is the actual close parentheses, but “:))” |

- (Prensa Latina - Cumbancha) Guantanamo, Cuba - The popular Buena Fe duet performed in the town of Caimanera, after returning from its successful tour in Mexico. Enthusiasm prevailed during the duet’s performance before thousands at the Pedro Agustin Perez square, a stage on which they played songs from their albums "Dejame Entrar" and "Arsenal." The duet of Israel Rojas and Joel Martinez recently returned from a promotional tour of Mexico, where they confirmed the popularity of some of their songs in that country, the cradle of Hispanic music idols, such as Agustin Lara y Armando Manzanero. |

- One release that I regret not reviewing before Christmas is Mark Nelson's 'The Water Is Wide.' Mark is probably familiar to Keola Beamer fans for running the annual Aloha Music Camp and his co-authoring Learn To Play Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar with Keola. But he is also a world-class guitarist in his own right, and 'The Water Is Wide' is his eighth release. It features Mark on lack key guitar, Appalachian dulcimer, Swedish hummel, 5-string dulcimer, and electric dulcimer. In his hands, these instruments become musical blenders, combing the influences of slack key, folk, traditional Irish, jazz and blues into an infectious musical coctail. |

- Considering my audition with the Turtle Creek Chorale on January 18, I am about 90% sure I will be singing an aria from GaetanoDonizetti's L'Elisir d'Amore, "Una furtiva lagrima." It reaches an A-flat which will test my upper range, but if done successfully, it should place me as a 1st Tenor, and that's what I want to be. Why? |

- Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said Friday he believes God has told him President Bush will be re-elected in a "blowout" in November. "I think George Bush is going to win in a walk," Robertson said on his "700 Club" program on the Virginia Beach-based Christian Broadcasting Network, which he founded. "I really believe I'm hearing from the Lord it's going to be like a blowout election in 2004. It's shaping up that way." Robertson told viewers he spent several days in prayer at the end of 2003. |
