Religious freedom debate continues at Iowa Capitol
DES MOINES Religious leaders and state lawmakers tried Monday to navigate the area between religious freedom and individual civil liberties.
Supporters of religious freedom spoke at a ceremony in the Capitol on Monday, praising Iowa for being a state that allows for the religious expression of varied faiths.
Speakers also acknowledged the national discussion over religious freedom as new laws in Indiana and Arkansas have been both praised for protecting religious freedom and criticized for serving as legal shields for discrimination.
It is a hallmark of a civil society, as opposed to anarchy, that our freedoms will be limited in some way when they harm others, said Sarai Rice, executive director of the Des Moines Area Religious Council. What is not limited is our freedom to believe and to think and to speak in public.
Iowa Sens. Jake Chapman, R-Adel, and Jeff Danielson, D-Waterloo, sponsored and spoke at the event.
Chapman said Mondays event was purely about celebrating Iowans right to practice any religion. It originally was scheduled for Jan. 16, Religious Freedom Day in Iowa as proclaimed by Gov. Terry Branstad.
But Branstads inauguration was held Jan. 16, so the religious freedom event was rescheduled to coincide with the birthdate of Thomas Jefferson, who authored the original Virginia statute on religious freedom.
That caused Mondays event to overlap with a national dialogue on religious freedom laws, a debate that spilled Monday into the Iowa House.
Rep. Steve Holt, R-Denison, spoke on the House floor in favor of religious freedom and business owners ability to refuse services to activities such as same-sex marriages that go against their religious beliefs.
Holt said requiring businesses to perform such services places people of faith in a position of violating their religious principles.

Yes Bose, not Gandhi, gave us freedom!
Recently two of our freedom fighters have been much in the news. Netaji Subhas Chandra Boseand Babasaheb Ambedkar. This is a refreshing change from the usual Mahatma Gandhi andJawaharlal Nehru which we keep hearing non-stop. Even have most of the government schemesnamed after these two leaders.
Gandhi launched his Satyagraha and then we had the Purna Swaraj declaration in 1930 and theQuit India movement in 1942. What was the effect? It hardly created a ripple for the BritishEmpire and Winston Churchill (British Prime Minister from 1940-45) has gone on record manytimes saying that he would never ever give Independence to India.
India was the crown jewel and many officials had made it clear that they would never leaveIndia. They were happy with Gandhis non-violence and happy to make him an icon withoutgiving him any concrete assurances of Independence.
However the Bose affair did leave them quite rattled. The Indian National Army was no smallunit and boasted of more than 40,000 soldiers. They were adept in guerrilla warfare and anyempire is always wary of such a threat.
They took part in battles in India and Burma and when they were defeated, the British heaved ahuge sigh of relief. However they decided to totally crush the INA and that backfired bigtime. Inthe 1945 Red Fort trials, INA officers like Major General Shah Nawaz Khan, Colonel PremSahgal and Colonel Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon were court-martialled.
Despite Gandhi being in charge of Indias freedom struggle and Bose going missing, there was agreat wave of sympathy in India for the INA officers. This culminated in the infamous BombayMutiny.
Sailors from the Royal Indian Navy in Bombay went on strike in February 1946 protesting theINA trials. To make matters worse, the mutiny spread to Calcutta and Karachi. In all more than20,000 sailors from close to 80 ships participated in the mutiny.
The British panicked and used the British Royal Navy to counter-attack leaving 7 dead. Howeverthis scarred the psyche of the British Empire and they knew that there was no way in which theycould take on the combined might of the Indian defence forces if all of them decided to revolt.
The popular ground report was that the British could no longer hold on to India and ClementAttlee (who had succeeded Churchill as PM) concurred.
While the INA trials finally concluded in May 1946, the British decided to make a run for it. Infact they were just out of India in 14 months. This sudden capitulation took everyone by surprisebut followers of Bose always maintained that it was because of him.

Don Frye to Ronda Rousey: 'Shut the Hell Up' About Fighting Men, Fight Cyborg
John Shearer/Associated Press Ronda Rousey
Don Frye has had enough of empowered diatribes from Ronda Rousey. The reigning UFC women's bantamweight champ has talked about fighting everybody from Kim Kardashian to Cain Velasquez. She even talked about beating up undefeated boxing world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.
But when it comes to fighting Invicta women's featherweight champ Cristiane Cyborg Justino, the walls start to come up. Frye, who was recently a guest on Submission Radio, had strong words for the UFC champ:
Oh my God. This is so f-----g stupid. Why is she b-----g about, who's the woman fighter that she keeps complaining about? Cyborg. Fight Cyborg. Tell her to shut the hell up. I don't want to hear you say you can fight a man until you fight Cyborg. And don't insist that she gets drug tested for anything, and don't insist that she makes weight. Shut the hell up, and fight the woman and like a real fighter does. Don't worry about rules and this and that.
Justino recently signed a contract with the UFC, but the deal serves as little more than a placeholder until she proves she's able to make 135 pounds. Rousey is starting to become the subject of criticism for refusing to move up to fight her at featherweight.
Unlike Justino, Rousey wouldn't be competing at a foreign weight class. She went 4-0 as a featherweight in Strikeforce to jump-start her professional MMA career. Justino was the Strikeforce featherweight champ at the time, but Rousey's decision to drop down to bantamweight to fight Miesha Tate nixed their paths potentially crossing.
Rousey hasn't made weight an issue in challenges to former women's MMA contender Gina Carano and women's boxing legend Laila Ali. But whenever Justino's name comes up, which is typically every time we see Rousey holding a microphone, the champ often cites weight and performance-enhancing drugs as the primary hurdles standing in the way of the women's superfight.
Justino, who tested positive for stanozolol nearly four years ago, hasn't failed a drug test since. She also recently passed a random, out-of-competition drug test to headline Invicta 11.
Rousey called herself the greatest fighter of all time during an appearance on Fox Sports 1's Americas Pregame ahead of her UFC 184 bout with Cat Zingano. Since her blistering 14-second submission win over Zingano, more pressure is being put on Rousey to back those statements by moving up and fighting Justino.
Even Joanna Jedrzejczyk, the newly crowned UFC women's strawweight champion, announced at a recent Q&A that she would look to move up in weight once she has solidified herself as the strawweight queen.

Astronomy celebrated with annual open house in Manoa - Video
Redshift (for iPad)
By Tony Hoffman
As the iOS version of a longstanding desktop astronomy software program, Redshift (for iPad) is one of the better apps of its kind that we've come across. It combines a planetarium view, which shows the stars and constellations as they really appear in the direction your iPad is pointing, with the ability to send you on three-dimensional virtual voyages across the solar system and beyond. Although it's priced higher than some iPad apps of similar quality, it's a worthwhile addition to any astronomy buff's repertoire.
Redshift is compatible with the Apple iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. I tested it with an iPad Air 2, as the app seems ideally suited for a device with generous screen area.
The Night Sky at Your Fingertips By default, the app shows a virtual view of the night sky, even in daytime; as you turn the iPad, new constellations will slide into view. A horizontal line marks the horizon; as you pan downward, you see a representation of the grounda lake, sand, and grassbut the stars below the horizon still shine faintly through. To zoom, you can either spread two fingers apart while touching the screen, or double-tap the screen with one finger. By double-tapping several times, you can zoom through three levels of magnification. For a wide-field view, you pinch two fingers together or double-tap the screen with two fingers. In testing, the screen wasn't always responsive to the tapping gestures; I found that a light touch works best.
At the upper-left-hand corner of any screen you're on is a Home icon. Rather than the usual house, it's a globe with a pin stuck in it. It takes you to the default view of the night sky. At the upper right is a Search (magnifying glass) button. You can either enter the name of an object, or search for one from a drop-down menu classified by type (star, comet, asteroid, and dwarf planet, for example). At lower left, a Gear icon takes you to the Sky Settings menu, which lets you alter the view's appearance (such as how constellations are shown) and the type of data displayed. At lower right, a Tool icon lets you take 3D flights, return to the default sky view, and download new objects, such as comets.
When navigating in the sky view, if you tap on a star or other object, a red circle will pulse around it, and its name (or, in most cases, designationsuch as the star HIP 2927) will appear next to it, as well as at the top of the screen, where it also identifies the type of object. Tap a down arrow at the top of the screen next to its name, and a menu with a row of about five icons (depending on the type of object being viewed) appears below the name. The first icon, a lowercase "i," brings up basic information, such as the type of object, its magnitude, its position in both Earth-centered (altitude and azimuth) and celestial (right ascension and declination) coordinates, its position, and rising and setting times. The second icon is the Wikipedia W, which takes you to the object's Wikipedia page (if any). A faint, undistinguished star like HIP 2927, as well as the vast majority of the roughly 100,000 stars in the database, lacks a Wikipedia page, but the brighter stars, galaxies, and nebulas do. For example, tapping the star labeled Sadalsuud brings up the (rather detailed) Wikipedia page for its alternate designation, Beta Aquarii. The third icon, the image of a rocket, takes you on a virtual 3D journey to the object. Tapping on a new icon, a sphere with an object orbiting it, puts you in orbit around the object. An icon with a curved, two-headed arrow stops the object's motion.
Have Spaceship, Will Travel The 3D journeying function is Redshift's most distinctive feature, although we have seen similar features in some other astronomy apps, such as Star Chart (for iPad). By tapping the Take 3D-Flight entry in the Tools menu, you get a menu of flight targets: Sun; Moon; Earth; Planets and their Moons; Asteroids; Solar System View; Stars, Deep Sky; and Grand Tour. Planets and their Moons, Asteroids, Stars, and Deep Sky all have submenus that let you choose individual objects to journey to.
Each 3D voyage has two stages. First, the sky view pans until the target is in the center of the field of view. Then the camera zooms in on the object. The voyages vary in quality. The ones in our solar system (Sun, Moon, Planets, and Asteroids) are pleasing, as is the one open-star cluster, the Hyades, but stars and deep-sky objects are less impressive. The nebulas I tried to explore looked like fuzzy point clouds rather than celestial objects. The 3D voyages are best considered as an educational tool, as after watching them a few times, the novelty wears off.
Redshift is one of the better planetarium-type astronomy apps, with a detailed view of the night sky and a good range of objects to view. I didn't find its Search function as thorough as those of the Editors' Choice SkySafari 3, which offers more categories and individual objects to peruse. Redshift does add the 3D journeying function, which is a fun extra. The app is priced higher than SkySafari 3 and other similar programs we have looked at, without adding enough value to justify the extra cost. It's a very good app, but there are more economical choices that are just as good or better.

Astronomy celebrated with annual open house in Manoa
2015 is the International Year of Light, as proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly, and that was the theme in Manoa Sunday, as hundreds turned out for the annual UH Institute for Astronomy open house.
Light-related activities included observing the sun through telescopes, seeing what you look like through an infrared camera, learning about the invisible universe, and using light from distant objects in the universe to learn their composition and temperature.
I just think the diversity is amazing, said parent Lisa Hartwell-Tindle. They have so many cool things here for your kids to learn and all the hands-on stuff is amazing for an almost 5-year-old, and of course, hes only interested in the face paint.
There were also 3D printers, a wind tunnel, air-powered rockets, and a portable planetarium.

Bad Week For Alien Hunters
For alien hunters, the last couple of weeks have been a roller coaster ride. First there were tantalizing hints that so-called Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) scattered across the deep sky tended towards integerized mathematical patterns. News of this remote possibility, in turn, created a minor news flap over whether these extragalactic microwave bursts might have some artificial (non-human) origin.
But John Learned, the second author of a paper that raised the specter of communicating aliens from cosmological distances in deep space, has since thrown cold water on the idea.

As I noted earlier in Forbes, most FRBs have been detected using Australias Parkes single-dish, 64-meter radio telescope and produce a single burst of pulsed radiation that is no longer than a few milliseconds.
Learned says they seem to originate from four or five different spots on the sky and points out that there are no repeated microwave pulses from the same direction. If we were getting a bunch of them from one direction then wed have to think more about that [being E.T.], said Learned.
He and colleagues are also basically ruling out a natural origin that they were some sort of colliding neutron star or highly engergetic type supernovae. Nor, they say, are such bursts likely to be galactic chirping from an exotic pulsar.
Most probably, says Learned, they are some sort of interference from government radar or satellite; maybe even reflected missile defense radio waves bouncing off the moon.
Even so, Learned admits that he and colleagues were initially spurred to do their FRB analysis to check if in fact these strange bursts could represent evidence of E.T.I.
The trouble is that any time you publish anything about [potential] E.T.I., said Learned, It gets sensationalized.
The real killer for their being intelligent signals is the association with the UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) integer second, says Learned. The comsos does not know nor care about our time unit of the second, said Learned. Nor does E.T., unless they are here in our terrestrial neighborhood and, even so, why would they?

We Need To Do More Than Just Point to Ethical Questions …
Dancer Matt Del Rosario from Pilobolus performs a scene along with robots created in partnership with the engineers, programmers, and pilots of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in New York on July 18, 2011.

Hundreds of artificial intelligence experts recently signed a letter put together by the Future of Life Institute that prompted Elon Musk to donate $10 million to the institute. "We recommend expanded research aimed at ensuring that increasingly capable AI systems are robust and beneficial: our A.I. systems must do what we want them to do," the letter read.
The problem is that both the letter and the corresponding report allow anyone to read any meaning he or she wants into "beneficial," and the same applies when it comes to defining who "we" are and what "we" want A.I. systems to do exactly. Of course, there already exists a "we" who think it is beneficial to design robust A.I. systems that will do what "we" want them to do when, for example, fighting wars.
But the "we" the institute had in mind is something different. "The potential benefits [of A.I.] are huge, since everything that civilization has to offer is a product of human intelligence; we cannot predict what we might achieve when this intelligence is magnified by the tools A.I. may provide, but the eradication of disease and poverty are not unfathomable." But notice that these are presented as possibilities, not as goals. They are benefits that could happen, not benefits that should happen. Nowhere in the research priorities document are these eventualities actually called research priorities.
One might think that such vagueness is just the result of a desire to draft a letter that a large number of people might be willing to sign on to. Yet in fact, the combination of gesturing towards what are usually called "important ethical issues," while steadfastly putting off serious discussion of them, is pretty typical in our technology debates. We do not live in a time that gives much real thought to ethics, despite the many challenges you might think would call for it. We are hamstrung by a certain pervasive moral relativism, a sense that when you get right down to it, our "values" are purely subjective and, as such, really beyond any kind of rational discourse. Like "religion," they are better left un-discussed in polite company.
There are, of course, "philosophers" who get paid to teach and write about what is not discussed in polite company, but who would look to them as authorities? It is practically a given that on fundamental ethical questions, they will agree no more, and perhaps even less, than the rest of us.
As in the institute's research priorities document, if you want to look responsible, you include such people in the discussion. Whether they will actually influence outcomes is a question about which a certain skepticism is warranted. After all, all participants are entitled to have their own values, are they not?
This ethical reticence has some serious consequences. The more we are restrained by it, the less we can talk seriously about what is good and what is bad in the new world we are creating with science and technology. As our power over nature increases, you might think that the very first thing we would want to be able to do is to know how that power ought to be used responsibly -- if it is used at all. If instead, we hobble our ethical discussions, how will such a question be decided? An increasingly pervasive techno-libertarianism suggests that we will move quickly from "we can do x" to "we should do x," and that our scientific and technical might will end up making right.
A final issue ought to be of particular concern to progressives. The very idea of progress implies improvement in the human condition -- it implies that some change is for the better and some is not. Hence the idea of "improvement" suggests some human good that is sought or has been achieved. Without ethical standards, there is no progress -- only change.
No one doubts that the world is changing and changing rapidly. Organizations that want to work towards making change happen for the better will need to do much more than point piously at "important ethical questions."

IBM teams with Apple on artificial intelligence health programme
SAN FRANCISCO: IBM on Monday (Apr 13) announced alliances with Apple and others to put artificial intelligence to work drawing potentially life-saving insights from the booming amount of health data generated on personal devices.
IBM is collaborating with Apple, Medtronic, and Johnson & Johnson to use its Watson artificial intelligence system to give users insights and advice from personal health information gathered from fitness trackers, smartphones, implants or other devices.
The initiative is trying to take advantage of medical records increasingly being digitized, allowing quick access for patients and healthcare providers if the information can be stored and shared effectively. IBM wants to create a platform for that sharing.
"All this data can be overwhelming for providers and patients alike, but it also presents an unprecedented opportunity to transform the ways in which we manage our health," IBM senior vice president John Kelly said in a news release. "We need better ways to tap into and analyze all of this information in real-time to benefit patients and to improve wellness globally."
IBM expects more companies to join the health platform, which it envisions growing to a global scale. In addition, the New York based company said it is acquiring a pair of healthcare technology companies and establishing an IBM health unit.
Watson is a cognitive computing system that bested human competition in a Jeopardy trivia television game show. Under the partnership it will be able to handle data collected using health applications from Apple mobile devices, according to IBM.
"Now IBM's secure cloud and analytics capabilities provide additional tools to help accelerate discoveries across a wide variety of health issues," Apple senior vice president of operationsJeffWilliams said in a release.

KUKA Systems Aerospace opens French facility
AUGSBURG, Germany, April 13 (UPI) -- A new facility for the research, development and production of robotic manufacturing systems has been opened in France by KUKA Systems Aerospace.
The facility is in Le Haillan, a suburb or Bordeaux.
"This exceptionally well-equipped building enlarges our footprint so we can continue expanding our business," says Philippe Prat, managing director of KUKA Systems Aerospace Le Haillan. "It makes a strong statement to current and prospective KUKA customers the giants of aerospace worldwide and their Tier 1 suppliers about our capability to support our KUKA-branded products and automate more assembly processes."
End effectors are units attached to the end of a robotic arm that perform specific production or logistical tasks. Among those tasks in aerospace assembly are drilling, riveting, fastening, lifting, positioning or applying a coating, adhesive or sealant.
KUKA Systems Aerospace, a subsidiary of Germany's KUKA AG, is headquartered in the United States. U.S. customers include Boeing, Northrop Grumman (whose assembly line for F-35 center fuselages was built by KUKA), and Bell Helicopter. Airbus, Dassault Aviation and Stelia Aerospace are among its European customers.
KUKA said it acquired the French facility in 2014 from Alema Automation, a manufacturer of aerospace tooling solutions for robotic platforms.
