...expect to see multiple species of robots appearing over the next few decades. There will be those that will be our appliances as well as those toward which we will feel more and more empathy. One day the latter will call our bluff and ask us to treat them as well (or as badly) as we treat one another. If they are unlucky, their prayers just may be answered...
...question for the industry is how it can still get a slice, how to make sure that all the money they spend on starmaking doesn't disappear down some college kid's hard drive. And that's where the lawyers come in.

...these past few years? Well, O'Connor, whose last full-length album, Universal Mother, was released in 1994, says she's been raising her son Jake, 11, and her daughter Roisin, 3. (O'Connor is divorced, and her children have different fathers, the former by an ex-husband, the latter by an ex-boyfriend.) She has also passed the time deciding which record company she wanted to move to after her old label, Chrysalis, went under (she is now signed to Atlantic). She has gone through years of therapy (she has charged in the past that her mother, now dead...
...sophomores led the women's Nordic team. Julia Silvis led the Crimson in the 10K classic at Dartmouth and Williams, best among Harvard women at each carnival. Classmate Kate Damon also came through for the Crimson in the latter half of the season, posting a 42nd-place finish in the freestyle pursuit at Williams and a 56th-place finish in the 10-kilometer classic at Middlebury...
