People like to buy pretty red balloons at Phish concerts but not blue onesPsychedelics popular because they make the concert bearable

By Jessica Witchleymanaging editor

a group of researchers at the massachusetts institute of tech-nology edged out about 4,300 other teams on saturday in a pen-tagon-sponsored contest to cor-rectly identify the location of 10 red balloons distributed around the united states.

The contest, which featured a $40,000 prize, was organized by

the defense advanced re-search projects agency, in an effort to devel-op new ways to understand how informa-

tion is disseminated through so-cial networks.

The winning group, a small team at the mit media labora-tory human dynamics Group led by a physicist, riley crane, took just eight hours and 56 minutes to complete the challenge.

The balloons, which were 8 feet in diameter, were arrayed around the country. some were in highly trafficked locations like union square in san Francisco; others were in more obscure places, like Katy park, a baseball field in the houston suburbs.

The winning researchers, who specialize in studying human in-teractions that emerge from com-puter networks, set up a Web site

asking people to join their team. They relied on visitors to the Web site to invite their friends. They also sent e-mail messages inviting people to participate and sent a small number of advertisements to mobile phones.

They said that they would dole out the prize money both to chains of individuals who referred people who had correct informa-tion on the balloons’ locations and to charities. They described

their method as a “recursive in-centive structure.”

The approach “rewards people who make real contributions,” said crane, whose research has recently focused on how infor-mation spreads in computer net-works, like youtube.

“This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform an experi-ment at a massive scale,” he said.

in the simplest case, a single person who contributed the cor-

rect answer would be given $2,000 and the research group would give another $2,000 to charity. in cases where multiple people contrib-uted, participants will get some fraction of $4,000.

The researchers said they had received contributions from 4,665 participants.

“They got a huge amount of participation from shockingly

The lead detective on the hit cbs series “csi: Ny,” mac taylor, is a pretty conventional television hero: like his colleagues on the two other “csi” franchises, he uses sci-ence to follow the evidence and catch the bad guys.

but in the episode for oct. 24, taylor, played by Gary sinise, finds himself entering the computer-based virtual world known as sec-ond life, walking (and sometimes flying) around three-dimensional, animated manhattan landmarks, recreated by a technique called machinima, and pursuing not a suspect but an avatar.

avatars and machinima? Virtu-al worlds? is this really going to be on cbs, the network with a reputa-tion as the somewhat stodgy older sibling of the broadcast-television family?

it is. cbs executives, aware of their need to attract a younger generation of viewers interested in interacting with television rather than just watching it, hatched the notion of a story line that involves second life, the virtual world in which members create fan-tasy characters for themselves — known as avatars — and engage in simulated adventures in a highly stylized animated environment populated by other enthusiasts.

it was an amorphous notion at best, but they knew exactly whom to call to execute it.

at cbs anthony Zuiker is the house savant of cool. The creator of the “csi” franchises, which have generated billions of dollars for cbs, mr. Zuiker is in day-to-day charge of “csi: Ny,” but his port-folio is much broader. as Quincy smith, the president of cbs in-teractive put it, “anthony is a free ion.”

mr. Zuiker accepts that desig-nation with relish. “my job is to bring as many people to television as possible, but also to do things that are promotable and young,” he said. “That’s where my bones are.”

When mr. smith and several other cbs executives brought up

like the internet search gi-ant Google inc., some of the best-known companies in massachusetts have staked their most promising hopes for future growth on one of the most dynamic economies in the world: china. but Google’s threat to possibly close its china operation may challenge those companies — including data storage giant emc corp. in hopkinton, manufacturer evergreen solar in marlborough, and even dunkin’ brands, the cof-fee retailer based in canton - to reexamine any accommodations they may have made to do business under the watchful eye of china’s government.

Google’s frustration with doing business in china, which it detailed

in an extensive statement on its cor-porate blog tuesday night, included references not only to censorship, but also to cyber assaults on the e-mail accounts of human rights ac-tivists.

but if other companies are en-couraged to reevaluate the value of their china operations, as Google says it will, that would mean a re-versal of strategies that have been mostly focused on growth.

emc, for example, said in 2007 it would be investing $1 billion in china over the next five years, and opening a second research and development center in beijing. in 2008, it started a research collabo-ration with elite chinese universi-ties.

on Wednesday, in response to the Google statement, the storage firm issued a terse release on its

chinese operations.“at this time, we’ve seen no evi-

dence suggesting that emc has ex-perienced attacks similar to those described by Google,” the statement said. “We continue to protect our operations and intellectual proper-ty in a consistent fashion around the world, and are diligent with regular and rigorous security reviews.”

The Google announcement should be a wake-up call to us companies expanding in china, said alan tonelson, a research fel-low at the united states business and industry council educational Foundation, a manufacturing trade group in Washington, d.c.

“The Google statement should cause any company that’s doing business in china to ask itself if its investment is really working out, or if it’s a victim of hype about the

The us economy has begun a “very modest recovery” but remains too fragile for policy makers and lawmakers to boost interest rates, raise taxes, or pull back on federal spending, Federal reserve bank of boston president eric rosengren said yesterday.

While the situation is vastly im-proved from last year, the economy faces several challenges that could unravel the nascent recovery, start-ing with the nation’s 10 percent un-employment rate, rosengren said. eventually, the Fed will have to raise interest rates to prevent inflation, and the us government will have to attack mounting federal deficits.

but those are measures for the longer term, rosengren said. “in the short run,” he said, “we should be more focused on getting to full employment.”

in a wide-ranging interview with boston Globe editors and report-ers, rosengren presented a sober economic outlook for the coming year. he said he expects the unem-

ployment rate to retreat slowly in the face of tight credit conditions, restrained consumer spending, and uncertainty among employers about the staying power of the re-covery.

massachusetts might recover a bit faster than the country as a whole because the state relies more heavily on health care and profes-sional services than manufacturing and construction, rosengren said. historically, health care and profes-sional services are among the first sectors to add jobs in a recovery.

over the past six months, those two and related sectors have added more than 16,000 jobs in massa-chusetts, according to state em-ployment statistics. The state un-employment rate, at 8.8 percent, is more than a point lower than the national rate.

but the high unemployment rate is weighing on the commercial and residential real estate markets. With fewer employees, businesses rent less office space, driving up vacancy rates, lowering property values, and leading to loan defaults, rosengren said. troubled commercial real es-

tate loans are putting more pressure on banks and their ability to make new loans.

at the same time, extended job-lessness is helping to keep the resi-dential foreclosure rate high, threat-ening a housing rebound spurred by low mortgage rates and home buyer tax credits. it remains uncer-tain whether the housing recovery can be sustained over the next few months, when the tax credit expires and the Fed ends programs aimed at lowering mortgage rates.

“We’re not through the foreclo-sure problem yet,” rosengren said.

still, rosengren added, there’s no doubt the situation is much im-proved, due in large part to the ex-traordinary measures undertaken by the Fed last year, including slash-ing its key interest rate to about zero, and the $787 billion stimulus program passed by congress.

“We’ve gone from people being worried about the Great depression to people talking about how strong the recovery will be,” he said.

additional stimulus spending might be appropriate if lawmakers are “uncomfortable with how slow-

Lawyers petition for detaineeFor the past three years, two Newton lawyers have repre-

sented an algerian detained at Guantanamo bay, a 34-year-old man who has been cleared of wrongdoing. Now the Newton board of aldermen is considering aresolution that would invite the man, abdul aziz Naji, to resettle in Newton if congress lifts its ban on allowing Guantanamo detainees to move to the united states.

The resolution, sponsored by alderman stephen m. lin-sky, would also urge congress to rescind the ban. a com-mittee unanimously approved the resolution, which will go before the full board of aldermen tuesday.

“i think a lot of people knew Newton had a special con-nection with this particular detainee because of our work,” said ellen lubell, who with her law partner, doris tennant, represents Naji. “We’ve spoken at schools. We’ve spoken at libraries. i think mr. linsky felt that this community had re-ally expressed support for the work we’re doing. and as a next step, the community could really act on that.”

Group lambastes Mass. curbs on charter schools

massachusetts has one of the most restrictive laws on charter school growth in the nation, according to a report being released today by a leading charter school organiza-tion, which is urging the legislature to scrap all limits.

The report will be distributed to legislators as a confer-ence committee tries to negotiate a compromise on an overhaul of public education, ahead of a tentative vote by each chamber tomorrow. provisions will probably call for increasing the number of charter schools in some districts, but would still maintain an overall limit.

by not moving more aggressively to expand charter schools, massachusetts is running the risk of not qualifying for $250 million in federal stimulus money being offered in president obama’s “race to the top” competition, accord-ing to the National alliance for public charter schools, a nonprofit that has been advocating for unfettered charter school growth across the country.

“The legislation is a step in the right direction, but it’s still constraining growth,” said todd Ziebarth, the alliance’s vice president, who coauthored the report. “massachusetts has the most caps in the country.”

Outside groups fund attack adsoutside interest groups are springing up on a daily ba-

sis to dump huge sums of money into the us senate race, funding negative television ads that seek to tip the race in its closing hours.

massachusetts has become ground zero in the struggle over a national health care overhaul pending in congress, and groups on both sides of the issue have emerged to blast mostly negative ads at the relatively small electorate that will decide the election tuesday. total spending on advertising in the final nine days by the major-party candidates, demo-crat martha coakley and republican scott brown, and their allies could approach $3 million, which is an astounding fig-ure for a bay state election.

The saturation ad buys are most apparent in time slots adjacent to local news programs or in morning programs on the networks. For instance, viewers of abc’s “Good morning america” in the boston market would have seen at least a dozen senate campaign spots Wednesday.

This will cause a strong flow from the southwest, bringing hot, steamy air to our region. high temperatures on satur-day will top out around 69°F (21°c), well above average, so no need to cover up your hal-loween costume. The remain-der of the weekend will be dry with the next chance for rain

Saudis work to head off swine flu fears before disaster

every year, the single largest gathering in the world is the annual pilgrimage to mecca: 2.5 million people from 160 countries packed into a small city in saudi arabia for five days.

This year, some will be bringing swine flu.The saudi authorities, fearing that the pilgrimage, or hajj,

could turn their holy city into a petri dish for viral mutations and a hub for spreading a new pandemic wave around the world, are working hard to head that off. They have asked some worshipers, including pregnant women and the elder-ly, not to make this year’s trip, which is scheduled for the last week of November.

although the saudis have turned to the World health orga-nization and other health agencies for help in previous public health threats to the hajj, this year the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention is more deeply involved because it has so much experience with this new flu strain. consultants for the centers have gone back and forth to riyadh, flu experts at american medical schools have been called in and the u.s. Navy’s medical laboratory in cairo is preparing to help with any complex flu testing that is beyond what saudi laboratories can do.


Fdic Chief Criticizes Financial Reform PlanwAshInGTon — senior regulators and some lawmakers clashed once again with the obama administration on Thurs-day, finding fault with central elements of the White house’s latest plan to unwind large financial companies when their troubles imperil the financial system.

describing the details of the legislation to the house Fi-nancial services committee, treasury secretary timothy F. Geithner emphasized that it would give officials the tools to more tightly supervise the largest financial companies and that government would have the authority to order compa-nies to shed risky assets or limit trading activities if they pose a threat to the companies’ stability.


Pakistan pursuing taliban deeper into mountainssherWaNGai, paKistaN — here in the distant dun-colored hills of south Waziristan, the pakistani army pushed toward a special lair of hard-core taliban on Thursday, sending artillery and jet fighters to break the back of the militants, who in turn, have brought the war to where it really hurts, the nation’s cit-ies.

The offensive launched by the army in south Waziristan nearly two weeks ago has turned into a battle of wills between the army, the custodian of pakistan’s nuclear weapons and accustomed to facing archenemy india, and insurgents from the taliban and al-Qaida, who are determined to bring down the state.

sixteen albums and twenty-seven years after the release of their first, self-titled studio album in 1982, sonic youth has made a career of wowing crowds all over the world in the promotion of their newest work. last sunday, sonic youth rocked the older crowd at boston’s strangely arranged Wilbur Theater out of its argyle socks, and proved that having appeared in a tour vid-eo named 1991: The year punk broke does not prevent a band from contemporary greatness.

opening for sonic youth, thew much-ex-perienced Feelies put on a rollicking show, exhibiting extended, unfiltered-yet-clean guitar sound that excited the crowd far more than the average opener. Formed in 1976, The Feelies influenced many well-known bands until they broke up in 1992 (they re-united only last year). during one of their many prolonged and enjoyable solos, i rec-ognized suddenly how similar they sound yo la tengo, only to immediately realize that, properly, yo la tengo probably sounds a lot like The Feelies (the bands’ formations were separated by eight years but only 23 miles — the dis-tance from haledon to hoboken in New Jersey). despite the band members’ slightly out-of-sync sound, they displayed the same rock essentials that made them one of New york city’s favorite underground rock bands during their active years, prompting the crowd to demand a seldom-seen encore

from the opening band.torturing the audience with an unusually

long wait between sets, sonic youth arrived to heavy applause, and promptly started their signature stage drunk-walk. Thrashing around as if surrounded by a horde of bees, the band members all managed to maintain their balance while ripping out fifteen songs, ten off of their new album The eternal. a me-diocre album by sonic youth standards, the album is structured in a wax-wane sequence, starting with the three strongest songs, and ebbing into the slower “antenna,” “What We Know,” and “calming the snake.”

Hey look here’s a subhead

The album heats up again before finish-ing on the meandering, ten-minute epic “massage the history.” of course, mediocre by sonic youth still ranks this album among the best of the year. performing profession-ally, sonic youth’s members all appeared surprisingly engaged — an unexpected bo-

nus from a band that has been touring or almost 30 years.

i was surprised at the discernibility of sonic youth’s music; i normally relegate sonic youth to an “earphone band” —

albums saved for extended bus trips neces-sitating the high volume and headphones that enable one to decipher their intricately grungy tracks. This concert — probably due in part to some talented mixing on behalf

of the sonic youth roadies and the Wilbur’s staff — made me rethink that distinction. re-gardless of the cause, Kim Gordon’s smoky voice and Thurston moore’s guitar meshed as opposed to mashed, allowing the crowd to discern the lyrics and individual notes, particularly through the older, “classic” sonic youth songs the band played for their two encores, including “cross the breeze” and “The sprawl.” having never seen 500 40-year-olds rock out that hard, the con-cert managed to fulfill the collective longing for some late-80s nostalgia without being slowed by the weight of the history.

a sonic youth/Feelies combination con-cert is conducive to feeling rockosophical: it is easy to write about sonic youth’s beginnings in the “do it yourself” punk movement, or about their impact on rock — both in-die and mainstream — in the years fol-lowing their monumental releases like Goo and daydream Nation, but to me, the most interesting aspect of this concert is less ret-rospective. unlike other big names in rock, sonic youth continues to tour with new, solid material. by not resting on their lau-rels and merely playing their greatest hits, they have shown that some rock bands can, with great talent, neither burn out nor fade away. This phenomenon of aging rockstars is fascinating as it is essentially new in our generation. to view the data: The Velvet un-derground broke up after writing essentially 30 songs 4 different ways; The rolling stones released new music in ’97 and ’05, but nei-ther sounded any different than their ear-lier work, and despite wild financial success, met some critical failure; The beatles — well, let’s just not get into that. The history of pro-gressive rock is littered with the bookends of talented bands, the al

bums that you look back on and say to yourself, “this was the last album where they tried.”

An earphone band

sonic youth has somehow managed to escape this fate, and following few other luminaries — the late, great Johnny cash comes to mind — continues to create new albums that easily compete with some of their earlier work (here, specifically, i am re-ferring to sonic Nurse, which kicked ass). as much as i regret not having been able to see them in 1992, i feel positive that in twenty years, the distinction between their work in the nineties and their more recent record-ings will have blurred. all i can hope is that we merit more other superb albums.

Engineers superulcerate Mount Holoyoke Lacrosse

By Shreyes Seshasaiteam memBer

a group of researchers at the massachusetts institute of tech-nology edged out about 4,300

other teams on saturday in a pen-tagon-sponsored contest to cor-rectly identify the location of 10 red

balloons distributed around the united states.

The contest, which featured a $40,000 prize, was organized by the defense advanced research projects agency, in an effort to develop new ways to understand how information is disseminat-ed through social networks.

The winning group, a small team at the mit media labora-tory human dynamics Group led by a physicist, riley crane, took just eight hours and 56 min-

utes to complete the challenge.The balloons, which were 8

feet in diameter, were arrayed around the country. some were in highly trafficked locations like union square in san Francisco; others were in more obscure places, like Katy park, a baseball field in the houston suburbs.lortio odipis aut iuscips ustinci endre digna con velessequip eu feugiat autpat irilit autem vel utpat. ut dolorpero et iriliqu amconse quisim quatie con utet acilissent nullaor eriure facipit ut amconul laoreetue modolor se dolummodip ea feuguer am quate magna con et aliqui enim do eliquam zzrilit am dolum ing ercipsu scilissisit ut la feu facil-landre tatie feuguer sum delisi.

a group of researchers at the massachusetts institute of technol-ogy edged out about 4,300 other teams on saturday in a pentagon-sponsored contest to correctly identify the location of 10 red bal-loons distributed around the unit-ed states.

The contest, which featured a $40,000 prize, was organized by the defense advanced research proj-ects agency, in an effort to develop new ways to understand how infor-mation is disseminated through so-cial networks.

The winning group, a small team at the mit media laboratory human dynamics Group led by a physicist, riley crane, took just eight hours and 56 minutes to com-plete the challenge.

The balloons, which were 8 feet in diameter, were arrayed around the country. some were in highly trafficked locations like union square in san Francisco; others

were in more obscure places, like Katy park, a baseball field in the houston suburbs.lortio odipis aut iuscips ustinci endre digna con velessequip eu feugiat autpat irilit autem vel utpat. ut dolorpero et iriliqu amconse quisim quatie con utet acilissent nullaor eriure facipit ut amconul laoreetue modolor se dolummodip ea feuguer am quate magna con et aliqui enim do eli-quam zzrilit am dolum ing ercipsu scilissisit ut la feu facillandre tatie feuguer sum delisi.
