"Sound Bulbs" Are Vintage Speakers That Screw Right into Light Sockets

Dominic Wilcox has a knack for the absurd. He?s designed gold-plated luxury skipping stones, anti-theft bike stickers, and a post-it note tattoo for hand-written notes. His latest design, though, is both absurd and incredibly useful: a conversion system that makes it possible to screw old sound systems into light sockets.

Wilcox calls them Sound Bulbs, and they were built in response to a game aimed at finding new uses for old objects. The challenge was based on the age-old sleepover game, Telephone, with a slight twist: rather than passing along a word, participants passed along objects. The recipient was then responsible for creating a new use for the old object. ?The object I was given was a ceiling lamp,? Wilcox explains on his blog. ?I started to think about ceiling lights and the question of ?why do we only plug light bulbs into lamp sockets???

Indeed! Wilcox set about collecting nine volt transformers, bayonets, and Edison screw lightbulb connectors (the silvery bit at the end of each bulb). With a bit of tinkering, he was able to create a working conversion between a handful of old electronics and an average light socket. Technically, he explains, he didn?t need to use old systems?they just looked cooler than a Bose hanging from the ceiling:

I could have chose a minimal table lamp and a modern day music player, but decided to go in the opposite direction. There are not many opportunities in life to combine 1880 golden statues with 1980 ghetto blasters so I took it.

The mapping of one set of functions onto another resulted in some interesting chances to explore how the intersection of two design typologies: for example, the on/off string on the lamp became a way to start and stop the music a boom box. We've seen "audio bulbs" before, but this a fascinating example of how a simple DIY hack can retrofit ubiquitous infrastructure with new functions. [Dominic Wilcox]

Will Climate-Change-Fueled Superstorms Wipe Out London?

Climate change seems to have a new do-badding best buddy these days. His name is Catastrophic Flooding. In March, we reported?that Florida, and particularly Miami, is being threatened by a rise in sea levels if current climate-change and sea-level rise patterns continue.

Now, The Independent has published highlights from a new study that notes, ?There is significant risk of London being hit by a devastating storm surge in the Thames Estuary by 2100 that could breach existing flood defenses and cause immense damage to the capital.?

In the past, storm surges that might breach the Thames barrier would have occurred with a frequency of about one in 1,000 years, but that could increase in a warmer world to be as frequent as one every 10 years.

---

The research was conducted by an international panel of glaciologists and climate scientists. Professor David Vaughan of the British Antarctic Survey tells TakePart that the rise in sea levels was estimated using ?models that essentially simulate the processes going on in the ice sheets and glaciers, forcing them with global and regional climate projections.?

Vaughan is the coordinator of the Ice2Sea research program, which was established in 2008 by the United Nation?s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the wake of its third climate report.

?That report identified shortcomings in our ability to predict the future of the ice sheets, and Ice2sea was designed to help improve the situation,? he says. ?I developed the idea for Ice2sea with a small group of like-minded scientists from some key institutions.?

Yet Vaughan notes that, ?All scientific models are a compromise between including so much detail that the model is impossible to use in any practical sense, and being so simple that it cannot be trusted.?Normally we test that a model is adequate by seeing if it can reproduce observations.?

?For ice sheets, the body of observations of change is rather limited?it really only began in 1992 when the first really useful satellites were launched?so the degree to which we can validate the model is also limited,? he says.??We know, we?re doing a better job than models were ten years ago, but we can?t currently be sure we?re doing all we need to.?

So the scientists carried out what they call ?expert elicitation.? Vaughan explains that it is a formal process of asking a group of experts about their uncertainty.

?It includes a process of calibration to find out if the experts are as expert as they think they are, and then a process of asking straightforward, unambiguous questions and looking for agreement and disagreement in their responses,? he says. ?It?s not scientific in the sense that it?s truly reproducible, but it allows us to get an idea of the ?unknown unknowns? that keep scientists awake at night.?

---

With ice loss and an increase in sea level rise now appearing to be an unavoidable consequence of global warming, let?s hope that the more we can learn about those unknowns, and ways that we can protect our cities, the less acquainted we?ll become with our not-so-good buddy catastrophic flooding.

Sears Canada Q1 FY?13 sales down 6.6%

Sears Canada Inc. announced its unaudited first quarter results. Total revenue for the 13-week period ended May 4, 2013 was $867.1 million compared to $928.0 million for the 13-week period ended April 28, 2012, a decrease of 6.6%. Same store sales decreased 2.6%.

The net loss for the quarter this year was $31.2 million or $0.31 cents per share compared to net earnings of $93.1 million or $0.91 cents per share for the same period last year. Included in the net earnings for the first quarter last year was a pre-tax gain of $164.3 million related to the lease terminations of three stores as announced by the Company on March 2, 2012.

Excluding the gain from lease terminations, the net loss in the first quarter last year was $44.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) for the 13-week period ended May 4, 2013 was a loss of $9.8 million compared to a loss of $22.7 million for the 13-week period ended April 28, 2012, an improvement of $12.9 million.

"We are encouraged to see significant improvements in areas that we have targeted with our Transformation, particularly in the soft lines businesses," said Calvin McDonald, President and Chief Executive Officer, Sears Canada Inc. "We experienced year over year growth in Apparel and Accessories for the second quarter in a row, the first time this has happened in over six years.

?The Bed and Bath category has also improved this quarter compared to the same period last year. Our Major Appliances business maintained market share but experienced sales declines, as did our Furniture and Mattress businesses all of which suffered in a very tough quarter of trading because of unfavourable economic conditions and low consumer confidence. The unseasonable cool spring in most parts of the country had an adverse impact on sales of outdoor power equipment, patio, and other seasonal lines.

"We are continuing to make progress in our Transformation, and we believe the growth in Apparel and Accessories is an indicator that we are on the right track," continued Mr. McDonald.

"At the same time our rate management initiatives have positively impacted gross margin by 50 basis points, while our focus on controlling costs has reduced expenses by 7.9% compared to the same period last year. Factoring out the gains from the return of the three leases to the landlord last year, we are seeing an overall improvement in our bottom line for the quarter as compared to the first quarter last year.

"The efforts of our 29,000 associates are a key component in making the Company's three-year Transformation a success. While their hard work is starting to bear fruit, there is still work to do," added Mr. McDonald.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure, and excludes finance costs, interest income, share of income or loss from joint ventures, income tax expense or recovery, depreciation and amortization and income or expenses of a non-recurring, unusual or one-time nature.

Sears Canada is a multi-channel retailer with a network that includes 181 corporate stores, 248 hometown dealer stores, over 1,400 catalogue and online merchandise pick-up locations, 101 Sears Travel offices and a nationwide home maintenance, repair, and installation network.

Cyclist tests positive for EPO, risks life ban

ROME (AP) ? Former Giro d'Italia winner Danilo Di Luca tested positive for EPO in a surprise test at his home before this year's race, organizers announced Friday.

If confirmed in a backup "B'' sample, Di Luca risks a lifetime ban since this is his third offense.

"I wasn't expecting this. It was a surprise for me. I'm disappointed," Di Luca said upon leaving the team hotel. "I'll ask for the backup analysis, then we can talk again."

The UCI provisionally suspended Di Luca pending a hearing with the Italian cycling federation and the Vini Fantini-Selle Italia team fired the 37-year-old Italian rider.

"Danilo has betrayed cycling once again," Giro race director Mauro Vegni said. "But I'm happy it wasn't a young rider. Danilo belongs to a generation that has navigated through the doping system."

The test was carried out April 29, five days before the Giro started, and the result drew a strong rebuke from Vini Fantini team director Luca Scinto.

"Di Luca is an idiot. I never wanted him," Scinto said. "Di Luca is sick. He needs to be helped."

Seemingly headed for retirement just a few months ago, Di Luca signed with Vini Fantini on April 26. Scinto and others were against hiring him, but sponsors eventually prevailed.

"The sponsors chose him and now they've got to take responsibility," Scinto added.

The team is considering suing Di Luca for damaging its image.

The race ends Sunday and Di Luca departs in 26th place overall, 33 minutes, 33 seconds behind overall leader Vincenzo Nibali.

The announcement came a day after the 28-year-old Nibali extended his lead by dominating a mountain time trial, garnering headlines in Italy as the new face of the sport.

In 2009, Di Luca was given a two-year ban after testing positive during the Giro for CERA, an advanced form of the blood booster EPO. That ban was subsequently reduced by nine months after he collaborated with Italian anti-doping authorities.

Di Luca was stripped of his second-place finish and two stage wins in the 2009 Giro.

And after winning the 2007 Giro, Di Luca was banned for three months later in the year for frequent visits to Carlo Santuccione, a physician at the center of a four-year doping investigation titled Oil for Drugs.

Di Luca fared well in several stages of this year's race, finishing third in the seventh leg, seventh in Stage 9, sixth in Stage 11 and 10th in Thursday's uphill time trial.

"He wrote me a text message saying, 'I don't know what to say. I'm sorry,'" Giro director Michele Acquarone said. "If someone looks you in the eye and asks for your support and then betrays you, then it means he has a serious problem ? in this case a strong addiction."

It's the second doping case from this year's race, after French rider Sylvain Georges tested positive for the banned stimulant Heptaminol in a urine sample after the seventh stage. The 28-year-old AG2R La Mondiale rider was immediately withdrawn from the race.

The 19th stage on Friday was canceled because of snow.

Trayvon Martin texts, photos: Might they change Zimmerman trial?

Ultimately, many of the photos and cellphone records of Trayvon Martin released online Thursday by George Zimmerman?s defense attorneys ? indicating that the slain teenager smoked marijuana, got into fights at school, and had an interest in, and perhaps access to, guns ? may be ruled inadmissible in court. But they are already making the rounds in the court of public opinion, which can influence everything from fundraising efforts to the mind-set of potential jurors in Mr. Zimmerman's murder trial.

Mr. Zimmerman is slated to go on trial in June, accused of killing the 17-year-old Trayvon by shooting him at close range during a confrontation in a gated community in Sanford, Fla., in February 2012. Zimmerman claims he acted in self-defense. Trayvon?s family claims Trayvon was minding his own business after stopping at a store near the home he was visiting, and that Zimmerman confronted him without cause.

Zimmerman's defense team, however, on Thursday asked for a six-week delay in the trial. Circuit Judge Debra Nelson is expected to address that request at a pretrial hearing on Tuesday, as well as whether the photos and cellphone records will be admissible in court. She may also consider whether jurors can be told that the autopsy of Trayvon indicated that he had at least a small trace of marijuana in his system.

The judge might decide to wait to decide the admissibility of some of the evidence to see what approach the prosecution takes during the trial, says Eugene O?Donnell, a criminal justice professor at John Jay College in New York and a former prosecutor. ?[Prosecutors] have to decide, will they depict [Trayvon] as a law-abiding teen ? or not even go there?. The defense may argue that if the government raised the character of the victim, they will have the right of response,? he says.

The defense could also argue that the marijuana evidence is relevant because it could speak to the issue of whether Trayvon?s behavior seemed threatening to Zimmerman on the evening in question, but there is some precedent in Florida case law ?that rejects the notion that marijuana makes you more aggressive,? Mr. O?Donnell says.

To the Martin family attorneys, the photos and cellphone records should be deemed irrelevant. ?Is the defense trying to prove Trayvon deserved to be killed by George Zimmerman because [of] the way he looked?? they said in a statement Thursday. ?If so, this stereotypical and closed-minded thinking is the same mindset that caused George Zimmerman to get out of his car and pursue Trayvon, an unarmed kid who he didn't know.?

Much of the evidence released Thursday is unlikely to ever go before a jury because it is irrelevant, says Bob Dekle, who teaches law at the University of Florida. ?On a plea of self-defense you can sometimes get into evidence of prior violent acts or character of the deceased ? but saying something about fistfights in high school? Kids get into fistfights at school. I did, and I don?t think that made me someone that needed to be shot,? he says.

Most evidence uncovered during ?criminal discovery? in preparation for trial becomes a matter of public record in Florida, even if it isn?t allowed to be introduced to the jury. That?s an overly broad law, in Mr. Dekle?s opinion. ?It offers a marvelous opportunity for gamesmanship on the part of both sides for disclosing stuff that they understand is not going to be admissible,? he says.

Calling attention to this material and playing it up in the press is a public-relations strategy, law experts say.

?No judge will allow this to be a trial of whether the victim is a bad person,? O?Donnell says, ?but it can color the whole trial ? it can color the judge?s view of the victim and can affect the jury pool.?

The photos and cellphone records will also likely stir up similar debates about racial stereotyping that first emerged with the question of whether Zimmerman was suspicious of Trayvon because he was black and wearing a hoodie.

One photo, for instance, depicts Trayvon showing some gold teeth ? often considered a black stereotype. Another photo shows a handgun, and several show him sticking up his middle fingers. The cellphone texts could also be interpreted by some as heavy on street or even gangster-type language, and for some potential jurors, that would stick in their minds, O?Donnell says.

With the country polarized around this case, these depictions would try to bolster the anti-Trayvon sentiment and perhaps help raise money for Zimmerman?s defense, O?Donnell adds.
