Robot Nation Teaser Looks Entertaining, Maybe Even Poignant

We honestly haven't kept up with the television documentary Vanguard or its sponsoring Internet/Cable channel Current TV, but this trailer for their upcoming show Japan: Robot Nation has our interest piqued. We're digging all of the robots, the ties of said robots to evolving Japanese culture and the overly dramatic score supporting the whole thing. The show doesn't air until December 10, 10PM EST & 10PM PST on Current TV. But if you've got the channel, now might be a good time to set the DVR. Otherwise it'll probably be viewable on the web at that time, too.

Duke's generous offer to the nation

We would like to respond to the letter (October 27) in regard to the bid by the National Galleries of Scotland and the National Gallery London to acquire Diana and Actaeon by Titian from the Bridgewater Collection for the nation. The two galleries have been offered the opportunity to buy Diana and Actaeon for £50m, certainly less than half the market value of such a painting in private possession. The Duke of Sutherland has ensured that the picture is available on exceptionally generous terms - the generosity being reflected not only in the price offered but in the time which the institutions have been given to pay for it. If it is acquired, there is an option to buy the pendant Diana and Callisto, and to obtain assurances concerning the remaining loan of the other masterpieces in the collection for another 21 years with the National Gall
