Governors aside, feds building health care markets
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican governors who’ve balked at creating new private insurance markets under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul may end up getting stuck with the very thing they’re trying to avoid….

Tea party focused on coming GOP Senate primaries
Sarah Palin is mounting an aggressive campaign in Missouri — in television and radio ads, in automated telephone calls, even serving barbecued pork sandwiches at a rural political picnic. She's urging residents to vote for Sarah — Sarah Steelman, one of three Republicans in a prickly U.S. Senate primary.

Hold the presses! Amazon UK selling more e-books than printed ones
It’s becoming a habit of Amazon’s to report on the rise of the e-book at the expense of physical texts, and their latest announcement is no different. Sales figures show that in the UK, 114 Kindle purchases have been made for every 100 printed copies so far in 2012. A similar statistic was achieved in the US last year, but whether these are true indications of e-book supremacy is up for discussion. Free downloads were excluded from the tally, but those released via Kindle Direct Publishing without a paper twin were counted. The Guardian also notes that these are unaudited figures, so there may be a digit awry here or there. And with a few physical stores still around, there’s no need to panic-buy that Kindle just yet.

Valve reportedly preparing second-generation Source engine, kinda explains the Episode Three delay
ValveTime has dug through the Source Filmmaker code to reveal references to “Source 2,” reportedly a next-generation revamp of Valve’s famous game engine. Given that the three major consoles are all due a refresh, it’s unsurprising to see preparations being made. That said, however, the second (and major) launch title for the original Source was Half Life 2, so we’re gonna be getting a complaint letter ready if we don’t get some more time with Gordon, Alyx and Dog in a beautifully rendered future dystopia.

Visualized: this motion compensated tool prototype will haunt your dreams
The Biorobotics lab at Harvard has interests extending beyond robot hands. The team is doing some fascinating stuff in the medical field, as well, including the exploration of heart surgery while the heart itself is still beating. They’ve explored some motion compensating tools, and we just couldn’t take our eyes off of this one during our visit — not exactly the last thing you want to see before they put you under. Part of the reason the device is so large is due to the weighted motion compensating system built in making it look like the sort of tool they’d use if they ever needed to perform open heart surgery during Blade Runner.

Stone Spray research project wants to print bridges with sand, solar power
Envious of your pet hermit crabs’ 3D-printed domicile? Maybe you should cast your green eyes upon the Stone Spray project, an Eco-friendly robot printer that’s exploring the viability of soil as a building material. Although making actual buildings is a bit out of the robot’s reach, its team has managed to print a series of scaled sculptures (such as stools, pillars and load-bearing arc structures) out of sand, soil and a special solidification compound. The machine’s jet-spray nozzle seems to have an easier time constructing objects over per-existing scaffolding, but the team is striving to design structures that don’t require the extra support. “We want to push further the boundaries of digital manufacturing and explore the possibilities of an on-site fabrication machine,” the team writes on the project’s homepage, citing makeshift printed bridges or an on-beach canopy as possible applications of technology. If the Earth itself doesn’t make a green enough building material, consider this: the Stone Spray robot can be powered by solar energy alone. Check it out in all of its sand-sculpting glory in the video below.
