The Swinger
Here's a music remix project from "music hacker" Tristan Jehan (who apparently got his Ph.D. at MIT!) named The Swinger. The Swinger takes any song, recognizes and isolates each beat, and then speeds up the 1st half of each beat and slows down the 2nd half of each beat - creating the uptempo-to-downtempo sound that is characteristic of swing music. It actually produces some pretty cool songs, check out these 4 songs to see an example of what The Swinger sounds like:
Daft Punk
Journey
Rihanna
Guns N' Roses
ps - I looked for a good 10 minutes for a hip-hop track that was remixed, but the best he had was that rihanna song..

USA Sets 30 Man World Cup Roster
Great to see Onyewu making the roster. Sad sad story about Davies not making the cut. There was a lot of buzz lately about him making a speedy recovery, however the odds always seemed to be slim to none. Davies said he will support the team even though he didn't make the team via his twitter account.
All in all, this roster has enough talent to be considered one of the top 16 to top 8 teams in the world cup.

Obama Disses iPad, iPods, XBox and Playstation
In a Commencement Speech to Hampton University, President Obama said this about new age consumer electronics...
"And meanwhile, you're coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't always rank that high on the truth meter. And with iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations — none of which I know how to work — information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation. So all of this is not only putting pressure on you; it's putting new pressure on our country and on our democracy."
Interesting that this is how are president feels about consumer electronics. What are your thoughts about this?

LP4 - Ratatat
So apparently, Ratatat's latest album, titled LP4, leaked on the interwebs last week!! I was eagerly awating the early summer release date so i could get my hands on (torrent) the album, so i think i may wait until the actual release date (June 8th) and maybe buy it. Either ways, they released a single off of LP4, titled "Party With Children" (which sounds very LP3-ish, but i dont mind that), and the rest of the tracks are circulating all over. Listen to Party With Children here
EXTRA: Here is an interview they did with pitchfork, where they talk about Cudi, doritos, etc. You can find the tracklist in that same link!

World first remote heart operation to be carried out in Leicester using robotic arm
Expert at University of Leicester and Glenfield Hospital to conduct pioneering treatment
A pioneering world first robotics system operation is to be conducted at Glenfield Hospital Leicester thanks to expertise at the University of Leicester and University Hospitals of Leicester.
Dr André Ng, Senior Lecturer in Cardiovascular Sciences at the University of Leicester and Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist, Glenfield Hospital, University Hospitals of Leicester, is the first person in the world to carry out the operation remotely on patients using this system.
He will use the Catheter Robotics Remote Catheter Manipulation System for the first time in a heart rhythm treatment procedure.
The system is novel because it allows a doctor to carry out a common heart treatment procedure remotely using a robotic arm.
These procedures involve inserting thin wires, called catheters, into blood vessels at the top of the groin and advanced into the heart chambers. Electrodes on the catheters record and stimulate different regions of the heart to help the doctor identify the cause of the heart rhythm problem which usually involves an abnormality in the electrical wiring system of the heart. Once this area is identified, one of the catheters will be placed at the location to ablate or "burn" the tissue to cure the problem. Catheter ablation has been developed and used over the past 2 decades effectively in many patients suffering palpitations due to heart rhythm disturbances.
Dr Ng said: "The new Robotic procedure is an important step forward because, while some procedures are straightforward, others can take several hours. Because X-rays are used to allow the doctor to monitor what is going on inside the patient, it means that doctors standing close to the patient wear radiation shields such as lead aprons which are burdensome. Protracted procedures can lead to clinician fatigue and high cumulative radiation exposure.
"The benefit of the Robotics system to the patient is that movement of the catheter could be done with great precision. It is anticipated that further developments of the system may allow complex procedures to be made more streamlined. On the other hand, benefits to the doctor are that heavy lead aprons would not be necessary as he / she will be controlling the movements of the catheter using the Remote Controller at a distance from the patient outside the radiation area and that he / she can be sitting closer to the monitors displaying electrical signals and x-ray images as opposed to standing at some distance across the room from them which is current practice."
Dr Ng and his team's international standing and leading position in the management of heart rhythm disorders are reflected in the invitation to be the first to apply this new Robotics System in clinical procedures which also affirms the world-class research and pioneering work at the University of Leicester.
The Remote Catheter Manipulation System (RCMS, Catheter Robotics Inc., New Jersey) is a new system and Dr André Ng, who has extensive experience in EPS procedures, has been selected to apply the system in human studies for the first time in the world. Two other remote navigation systems are commercially available but one uses a huge magnetic field to control a magnetic tip catheter whilst the other uses a large deflectable sheath to move the catheter. The RCMS has the benefit of using standard EPS catheters which can be dismounted and remounted onto the system with ease. The technology has obtained CE mark through rigorous bench safety testing and pre-clinical studies and has now arrived at a stage where it can be applied to clinical procedures.
Dr Ng is an expert in the management of heart rhythm disturbances especially in catheter ablation and the use of mapping systems in such procedures. The Department of Cardiology at Glenfield Hospital is one of the largest Electrophysiology Centres in the UK performing over 600 EPS procedures every year. Dr Ng has a distinguished research profile in investigations into cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmia mechanisms, leading both non-clinical and clinical teams of talented researchers. At the cutting edge of scientific research and development, the innovative work in his group has been acknowledged with many accolades including Young Investigator and Da Vinci Awards. He is also Director of pan-European training programmes on advanced three-dimensional mapping systems and arrhythmia ablation
