Cop muffs 'fluffed and buffed' protest

A Massachusetts State Police sergeant was relieved of duty Thursday after he gave graphic photos documenting the surrender of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to Boston Magazine.? And the release of the photos could have an impact on the case.

Sgt. Sean Murphy, a tactical photographer for the state police, documented the capture of a bloodied Tsarnaev as he emerged from a boat parked in the backyard of a home in Watertown, Mass., on April 19--four days after the deadly bombings, which killed three and injured more than 260.

Murphy released 14 photos he took during the manhunt to Boston Magazine after being angered by the cover image of Tsarnaev on Rolling Stone magazine, which some have said depicts the accused bomber in a softer light. The photo, which was taken from one of Tsarnaev?s social media accounts, has also been published in the New York Times and other media outlets.

Murphy told the magazine his photos, which show Tsnarnaev bloodied and with the laser of a sniper rifle projected on his forehead, depict ?the real Boston bomber. Not someone fluffed and buffed for the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.?

David Procopio, a spokesman for the state police, confirmed to Yahoo News that the photos Murphy released were taken while he was on duty, and their release had been ?unauthorized by the department.?

?He is relieved of duty for one day and will be subject to an internal investigation,? Procopio said, adding that the police will also schedule a hearing soon to determine his future status with the department.

But Procopio declined to say whether the photos were considered evidence ahead of Tsarnaev?s trial. Last week, the accused bomber pleaded not guilty to 30 charges related to the twin bombings, which detonated near the race?s finish line on April 15.

Defense attorneys have hinted they will challenge incriminating statements that Tsarnaev made to law enforcement officials after his arrest , in which he allegedly admitted to FBI agents that he and his older brother, Tamerlan, were behind the bombings. (Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed hours before his younger brother?s capture, when Dzhokhar Tsnarnaev ran over him with a car while fleeting police.)

In May, Tsarnaev?s attorneys requested and were granted the right to begin photographing the accused bomber while he is in federal custody?as part of what some believe will be an argument to prove he was not in the right health or mental state to answer questions from authorities after his arrest. It?s an argument that could be further bolstered by the state police images of a bloodied Tsarnaev.

?The pictures do raise questions about what condition he was in,? Robert Sheketoff, a prominent Boston defense attorney who is not involved in the case, told Yahoo News. But he added, ?The reality is these photos would have been eventually handed over to the defense. It?s not like they could have kept them hidden.?

But Allison Burroughs, a Boston attorney and former federal prosecutor, suggested the photos would have a bigger impact on jury selection and could possibly help the defense if it argues to move Tsarnaev's trial out of Boston.

?The more things that potential jurors see that might cause them to form an opinion before jury selection or feel prejudiced against the defendant, the harder it is to pick a jury,? Burroughs said. ?But the publicity around that Rolling Stone cover alone has already had that impact. It?s hard to say that the trooper releasing a few additional photos is giving him any more notoriety than he already had.?

Dempsey says US considering use of force in Syria

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The nation's top military officer tells a Senate committee the Obama administration is deliberating whether to use military power in Syria, where a civil war entering its third year has killed almost 93,000 people.

Army Gen. Martin Dempsey says during congressional testimony Thursday that he has provided President Barack Obama with options for the use of force in Syria.

Dempsey used the term "kinetic strikes," and added the "issue is under deliberation inside of our agencies of government."

But Dempsey did not provide additional details. He says the decision on whether to engage militarily is one for U.S. elected officials to make.

The Senate Armed Services Committee is considering Dempsey's nomination for a second term as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Ionic liquid breakthrough in thermal electrical energy

Harvesting waste heat from power stations and even vehicle exhaust pipes could soon provide a valuable supply of electricity.

A small team of Monash University researchers working under the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES) has developed an ionic liquid-based thermocell. Thermocells are based on harnessing the thermal energy from the difference in temperature between two surfaces and converting that energy into electrical energy.

Led by Monash University researcher and Australian Laureate Fellow Professor Doug MacFarlane and Monash University PhD student Theodore Abraham, the collaborative project developed the thermocell device with the highest power outputs yet reported and no carbon emissions.

The new thermocell could be used to generate electricity from low grade steam in coal fired power stations at temperatures around 130C. This would be implemented by having the steam pass over the outer surface of the hot electrode to keep it hot while the other electrode is air or water cooled.

Professor MacFarlane said the breakthrough included the development of a novel ionic liquid-based redox electrolyte.

"We have found that it can work at elevated temperatures typical of important heat sources, as opposed to water-based systems, which cannot operate at temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius," Professor MacFarlane said.

"The device offers the possibility of a cheap and flexible design suitable for harvesting waste heat in the 100- to 200-degrees Celsius range."

PhD student Theodore Abraham said that by using heat already produced in industrial processes that would otherwise be untapped, the thermocell is an attractive method of relieving some of the present reliance on fossil fuels.

"The major benefit of a thermocell is that it harnesses energy that is already readily out there; you're just harnessing energy that is otherwise lost to surroundings," Mr Abraham said.

Mr Abraham was supervised by Dr Jenny Pringle of Deakin University who said the development was a significant achievement for a PhD student.

"The advance we made with this system was that we are generating more electrical energy than any previous power cell in this temperature range," Dr Pringle said.

ACES Director Professor Gordon Wallace said that it took a multitude of skills to tackle complex issues as encountered here.

"Our unique research environment within ACES provides an opportunity to acquire these skills in a cutting edge research environment," Dr Wallace said.

Mr Abraham's research is published in the journal Energy and Environmental Science. A copy of the paper is available on request.

UK Publisher Transforms Books Into Visual Art - Indy Posted

The New York Daily News recently reported on a publishing company?s unique, artistic transformation of written artifacts.

Spineless Classics is a publishing company based in the United Kingdom. Apart from literature, however, the firm has begun producing unique, artistic prints. The muses are somewhat extraordinary: literary classics.

The company uses the entire text of a book. Graphic artists then arrange every word to fit on a single page. The kicker is that shapes and designs that represent the subjected novels are produced. At certain sizes, the words are legible and readable.

Surely, Spineless Classics does not expect customers to read the full text in its entirety. Yet, the team behind the project believes that fanatics will appreciate the unique effort. Novels like Pride and Prejudice and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer?s Stone are already available among others. The transformations are flattened posters that bookworms can hang on almost any wall.

Bibliophiles who are avid about decorating spaces with book-esque pieces now have a remarkable new option. Spineless Classics? work is still fresh, but it currently sells prints for Little Women and Black Beauty, as well. The famous Sherlock Holmes tale, The Hound of the Baskervilles is also available for purchase from the company.

Spineless Classics founder Carl Pappenheim did not just have fiction in mind for the new art. Significant documents such as the United States Constitution and the Book of Genesis from the Bible have also been transformed into visual artworks. In short, one of Pappenheim?s core values is to respect the original work. By maintaining the purity of the text to every acute detail, the posters can be as timeless as their original books.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer?s Stone was the most recent work to undergo treatment by Spineless Classics. J.K. Rowling?s first book in a world-renowned series is available in various sizes. The wall art features a white cutout of Harry Potter?s glasses, as well as his owl, Hedwig. Rowling made a contingency that author royalties from the 30-by-40 inch prints shall be donated to Lumos, her charity which assists disadvantaged children.

The company?s exceptional art launch coincides with the 15th anniversary of Harry Potter?s first stateside publication. Spineless Classics prints locally in the United States and UK, and the posters are available in a range of sizes so as to accommodate the length of the text and satisfy bookworms everywhere.
