Carnegie Mellon University is planning to unveil a new unmanned ground combat vehicle commissioned by the U.S. military, a university spokeswoman said Monday. "Crusher," a 6.5-ton autonomous vehicle, will be presented along with its predecessor, "Spinner," at Carnegie Mellon's National Robotics Engineering Center April 28, said spokeswoman Anne Watzman. ***This article was placed in 30 newspapers today.

For most people, snakes seem unpleasant or even threatening. But Howie Choset sees in their delicate movements a way to save lives. The 37-year-old Carnegie Mellon University professor has spent years developing snake-like robots he hopes will eventually slither through collapsed buildings in search of victims trapped after natural disasters or other emergencies. In recent weeks, Choset and some of his students made what he said was an industry breakthrough: enabling the articulated, remote-controlled devices to climb up and around pipes. Rescue workers say such robots would help them meet their challenge of locating survivors. Current equipment has limited mobility and is usually lowered into fallen structures, Choset said. "Right now, the way to get to these trapped survivors is to pull the rubble out one rock at a time," Choset said. "So our dream is to have the snake robot thread through this collapsed rubble and get to victims more quickly." ***This article was placed in 30 newspapers including Khaleej Times, USA Today and Wired News.

An ongoing lawsuit between a company and a popular archive of Web pages raises questions about whether the archive unavoidably violates copyright laws while providing a valuable service, experts say. The nonprofit Internet Archive was created in 1996 to preserve Web pages that will eventually be deleted or changed. More than 55 billion pages are stored there. A health care company claims the archive didn't do enough to protect copyright information that a competing firm accessed to defend itself in a lawsuit. That information didn't factor into a judge's decision to dismiss a trademark violation claim against the competing company, but the attorney for Healthcare Advocates Inc. of Philadelphia, which filed the trademark claim, is suing the Internet Archive anyway. ... Michael Shamos, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, said archiving like that done by the Internet Archive is "the biggest copyright infringement in the world," but said it is done in a way "that almost nobody cares about." ***This Associated Press article was featured in 58 media outlets.

From their choreographed handshakes to their matching dark suits and red ties, chief executives for Constellation Energy Group and Florida-based FPL Group Inc. gave all indications last Dec. 19 that they were in control of their destinies. The two companies announced a proposed merger at the Waldorf Astoria in New York to a welcoming audience of industry analysts. And they put plenty in the deal to win the hearts of civic leaders and politicians back home - from a pledge to keep dual headquarters to a promise to maintain historic levels of philanthropic giving for 10 years. But the whole thing came to the brink of collapse when Constellation was blindsided by public reaction to a proposed 72 percent rate increase at its regulated utility, BGE. The issue dominated the 90-day legislative session that ended shortly after midnight Monday. ... "In a situation like this, rational argument doesn't carry the day," said Mildred S. Myers, a professor of management communication at Carnegie Mellon University. "People always feel they're being gouged, and particularly, I think, utility companies are prime suspects in that regard. I've never known a state where there weren't accusations that the PSC was a tool of the industry rather than being interested in consumer protection."

MSNBC (Baltimore Business Journal) | April 9
In a suburban office park near Philadelphia, about 10 people work around the clock under the constant glow of a 40-foot wide video screen with a map of the East Coast power grid -- stretching all the way from Chicago to New Jersey to eastern North Carolina. These people work for PJM Interconnection, an institution that few Marylanders have probably heard of, but one that plays a key role in the state's deregulated electricity system. Controlling the output of more than 1,000 power plants, PJM runs the largest wholesale electricity market in the world and manages the flow of power in 13 states and Washington, D.C., serving 51 million people. ... But power grid officials and academic experts say there is no other good way to design an electricity market. "There isn't a really good way to have both a competitive market and not overcompensate the low-cost generators," said Jay Apt, executive director of the Carnegie Mellon Electricity Industry Center, who also argues that deregulation has had no benefit for industrial consumers.

On this sun-scorched campus, the range of architectural styles is extreme: from futuristic rectangles surrounding a giant egg to a more traditional earth-toned arabesque building. Prominent signs indicate the presence of educational heavyweights, including Weill Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, and Texas A&M. From the pale, sandy ground and barren landscape, this could be any number of places in the southwestern United States. But it isn't. This unusual gathering of American academic muscle is on the shores of the Persian Gulf. ... Because many girls are not allowed to go abroad alone to study, their best option for a first-class international education is Education City. Suresh Tate, who teaches biochemistry and basic science at Weill Cornell here, has been struck by the "tremendous enthusiasm and commitment of women students." And Dean Charles Thorpe at Carnegie Mellon's facility reports that "academically, the women generally outdo the men." According to 18-year-old Noor Al-Maadeed, who studies computer science at Carnegie Mellon: "New opportunities are opening up for women, and personally I want to work to help my country develop further."

Bretton Woods Project | April 2006
A series of loan suspensions and internal investigations has everyone at the World Bank talking about corruption; despite high-profile moves by president Paul Wolfowitz, the root causes of corruption - underpaid civil servants, an acceptance of bribery by big business, and dirty money - remain largely unaddressed. In the U.S., the Bank has been under intense pressure to stamp out corruption from a series of senate hearings over the last two years. The latest of these hearings, held by the Committee on Foreign Relations on 28 March heard testimony from William Easterly, professor of economics at New York University and former advisor to Bank past president James Wolfensohn; Ruth Levine of the Center for Global Development; and Adam Lerrick, director of the Gailliot Center for Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. Lerrick was scathing in his remarks on the Bank: "The Bank gives itself good marks and boasts that more than three quarters of projects completed had 'satisfactory outcomes'. But when the auditors are captive, when the timing of judgment is premature, when the criteria are faulty and when the numbers are selectively manipulated - how credible are the conclusions?"

Whatever the verdict in the current trial of Enron Corp.'s two former top executives, key failures that cost investors and employees tens of billions of dollars are all but sure to happen again. The calamitous scandals at Enron and many other companies were possible only because of breaches in a bulwark of our free-market system: auditor independence. Unfortunately, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Congress' response to the scandals, largely overlooks the conflicts of interest that represent the greatest threat to auditor objectivity. Only a radical reorganization of the current system will eliminate this risk. ***This article was written by Don A. Moore, Associate Professor at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon.

Stewart O'Nan was broke. He had just earned his Master of Fine Arts in writing from Cornell University in New York and was teaching a couple of courses there as an adjunct professor. His prospects, he admits, were slim. Then came the phone call that changed his life: He'd won the 1993 Drue Heinz Literature Prize for short fiction for "In the Walled City," a collection of stories. ... The award, distributed by the University of Pittsburgh Press, celebrates its 25th anniversary next week with readings and panel discussions. Among the expected guests are past judges Tobias Wolff, Richard Ford, Bharati Mukherjee and John Edgar Wideman, and prize-winners Jane McCafferty, Katherine Vaz, Lucy Honig, Darrell Spencer and John Blair. ... But Ochester points out that other winners, notably Reginald McKnight, Elizabeth Graver, Clarion Country native Randall Silvis and Carnegie Mellon University writing professor Jane McCafferty, have found success beyond the immediate rewards of the prize.

An audio-outfitted version of Montgomery County's electronic voting machines Tuesday passed muster in its second go-around for state certification, according to county voter services Director Joseph R. Passarella. "Everything went really well," said Passarella, who attended the five-hour certification test in Harrisburg. Michael Shamos, a Carnegie Mellon University professor employed by the state as an independent voting-machine examiner, "did everything in his power to manipulate the machine but he couldn't manipulate it at all," Passarella said.

Montgomery County officials are breathing easier today after a successful test of the county's Sequoia voting machines yesterday in Harrisburg. "The machines worked beautifully," said Joe Passarella, the county's director of voter services. He said that the machines recorded votes exactly the way they were entered, and that the votes could not be manipulated "in any way, shape or form." The tests were conducted by Michael Shamos, a computer scientist and voting machine expert from Carnegie Mellon University who has been hired by Pennsylvania to certify voting equipment. Shamos will issue a final report on yesterday's tests of the Sequoia machines within a few days, Passarella said. "There was nothing today that would lead me or anybody else to believe they would not pass certification," he said.

Inspired by the strange motion of the basilisk lizard, Carnegie Mellon University mechanical engineers have built a tiny robot that can sprint across land and water with equal aplomb. Although it is only a basic prototype, the researchers imagine their amphibious Water Runner robot could be equipped with biochemical sensors that monitor water quality; deployed with cameras for spying, search-and-rescue or exploration; or outfitted with bacteria to break down pollutants. “A legged robot that can walk across land and water literally has the entire world open to it,” said assistant professor of engineering Metin Sitti, who heads Carnegie Mellon’s NanoRobotics Lab.

Studies continue on the safety of using cell phones on airplanes, while most experts agree that concerns are overblown. ... So why not allow cell phones anyway? Are they actually a danger? The FCC is evaluating the possibility that cell phones could either block satellite signals or disrupt ground-based towers. To most observers, though, other potential safety issues are more worrisome. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is concerned that cell phones might produce significant radio frequency interference, possibly disrupting avionics, including a plane's Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. These worries were inflamed recently by an article in the March 2006 issue of IEEE Spectrum, the monthly publication of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The article, "Unsafe at Any Airspeed?", by Bill Strauss, M. Granger Morgan, and Daniel Stancil, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (Carnegie Mellon), recapped Strauss's 2003 PhD thesis, which revealed that people do sneak cell-phone calls during flight -- and that it could, in some circumstances, lead to interference with avionics systems through a process known as intermodulation.

DARPA's High Productivity Computer Systems (HPCS) program is an ambitious attempt to propel supercomputing to the next level. In this special issue of HPCwire, each HPCS-funded vendor (Cray, IBM and Sun Microsystems) has provided us with a description of their proposed design -- the three feature articles that follow this one discuss their individual approaches. But before you delve into the details, you may want to read one man's perspective of what DARPA's HPCS program means to the high performance computing community. HPCwire recently spoke with Douglass Post, chief scientist at the DoD High Performance Computing Modernization Program, to give us his impressions of the program. The text that follows is an excerpt from a longer interview that will be featured in an upcoming issue. ***Douglass Post is a member of the senior technical staff at the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute.

For some of us, an impulse buy at the hardware store means a light-up keychain. For others, apparently, it's a riding mower or utility tractor outfitted with a 6.5bushel rear bagger, 48-inch front blade or 12-volt oscillating fan. You read that right. According to someone who should know—Loren Troyer, director of order fulfillment for Deere & Co.'s Commercial and Consumer Equipment Division—most of the company's riding mowers, garden tractors and ATVs are bought on impulse by customers who drop by a hardware store for a hammer or set of hinges. Once that shiny green riding mower or tractor catches their eye, however, hammers and hinges are quickly forgotten. ... It didn't take long for word to reach Deere of an emerging company, SmartOps. And what it heard captured its attention: The new company reportedly specialized in sophisticated supply chain optimization, and its program appeared to be particularly well suited to a multistage supply chain like Deere's. If the company was new, its basic premise was not. The launch of the Pittsburgh-based SmartOps actually represented the culmination of a decade's worth of research by its founder, Sridhar Tayur, a professor of operations management and research at Carnegie Mellon University (Carnegie Mellon), and his colleagues at Carnegie Mellon.

Millcraft Industries, which was in talks with Giant Eagle to bring a grocery to the former Lazarus department store in Downtown Pittsburgh, said Wednesday it is instead planning a European market-style grocery. Millcraft Industries, based in Cecil Township, said it secured a "food market prototype" to occupy 12,000 square feet at the shuttered 265,000-square-foot Lazarus space dubbed Piatt Place, named for the principals of Millcraft. Millcraft said the unnamed concept will be a European market-style grocer, featuring products from Delallo Italian Foods of Jeanette, Pa., as well as products from Omaha Steaks, and fresh prepared foods including entrees, salads and soups, business catering, fresh fish and sushi and specialty breads. ... A recent survey of young professionals' interest in Downtown living by Carnegie Mellon University's H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management showed that nearly 95 percent of the survey's participants ranked a grocery store as the most important service in an ideal residential neighborhood -- far higher than any other amenity.

To most of us it is a quirky desktop toy for checking out our house or a few world landmarks from space. But according to a group of U.S. scientists, Google Earth is becoming an important tool for coordinating disaster relief efforts. During the New Orleans flood and Kashmir earthquake, for example, aid agencies used the software to manage the relief operations. And it has just become much more valuable to relief agencies helping survivors in Kashmir. Scientists have completed the mammoth task of marrying census data on villages affected by the quake with images of the stricken region. ... Google Earth makes it convenient to search quickly for the right information in the right place. For example, which roads are flooded? Which levees are breached? Which intact buildings might act as aid distribution centres? "After Katrina, the problem was that there was actually too much [information]," said Dr. Illah Nourbakhsh at Carnegie Mellon University (Carnegie Mellon) in Pittsburgh. "The disaster agencies had a hard time piecing [pictures] together. They needed a very large wall and lots of masking tape."
