Walker A video of a Collinsville police officer answering questions about drug-dog training is raising questions of whether his tactics amount to evidence tampering and possibly set up innocent motorists for unfair roadside searches later. Lodging in Collinsville (with Michael Reichert) Officer Michael Reichert explains in a recording posted online that officers sometimes planted or smeared illicit drugs on vehicles parked overnight at businesses or motels, to [...] Clara Moskowitz
A warp drive to achieve faster-than-light travel — a concept popularized in television’s Star Trek — may not be as unrealistic as once thought, scientists say. A warp drive would manipulate space-time itself to move a starship, taking advantage of a loophole in the laws of physics that prevent anything from moving faster than light. A concept for a real-life warp drive was suggested in 1994 by Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre; [...] HOUSTON — A warp drive to achieve faster-than-light travel — a concept popularized in television’s Star Trek — may not be as unrealistic as once thought, scientists say. A warp drive would manipulate space-time itself to move a starship, taking advantage of a loophole in the laws of physics that prevent anything from moving faster than light. A concept for a real-life warp drive was suggested in 1994 by Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre; however, [...] McDonalds does not allow new hi tech glasses in France – beats customers who wear them Google Glass could revolutionize daily life, but wearing what looks like Star Trek props could reduce humanity to playground bullies.

The inventor built the [...] Star Trek legend William Shatner was left nursing a bruised ego when his trousers fell down during an airport security check in front of dozens of fellow travellers. The actor was queuing at Los Angeles International Airport to catch a flight to South Africa when he was singled out for a search by officials. He had decided to wear loose-fitting clothing for the journey and did not have a belt holding his [...] High-speed pressure jet administers medicine through the skin Device is similar to the system used by Dr Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy in Star Trek Medicine could be delivered via a high-speed pressure jet through the skin in a new needleless method developed by scientists which could spell the end of painful injections. The Star Trek-style device, unveiled by scientists yesterday, can be programmed to deliver a range of doses to varying skin depths. The breakthrough [...] When SpaceX launches its Falcon 9 rocket it will secretly be carrying celebrities. Actor James Doohan, who played Scotty on the original “Star Trek” series, died in 2005. His ashes will be on board this mission — as will those of Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper and 306 other people. If you have the money, Celestis, a space services company, will send your loved one’s ashes up to orbit Earth. l Sound familiar?

In 2010, that team successfully teleported a photon over 16km. Now that same team hasreleased new findings, in which they claim to have teleported photons nearly 100km, or over 60 miles. Now, quantum teleportation isn’t quite the same thing as the [...] BY: Andrew Stiles - April 9, 2012 12:24 pm A photo of Obama’s “army” originally posted on the campaign’s Tumblr site and run in conjunction with a BuzzFeed story on the Obama campaign reveals a stunning lack of diversity among the president’s Chicago staff.
