grenade, footage, "beam" me up, teleportation

Footage from J.J. Abrams's upcoming “Star Trek” movie, starring Chris Pine as Capt. Kirk and “Heroes” villain Zachary Quinto as Spock, is showing at CES's Intel booth, of all places.

A transporter is a fictional teleportation machine used in the Star Trek universe. Transporters convert a person or object into an energy pattern (a process called dematerialization), then "beam" it to a target, where it is reconverted into matter (rematerialization). The term transporter accident is a catch-all term for when a person or object does not rematerialize correctly.


An expedition in the Pacific Ocean captured footage of a deep-sea squid, often referred to as the "whiplash squid," which is rarely seen alive. http://cnn.it/1IABRt7

Scientists are studying the footage to learn more about this animal.



First glimpse of Guantanamo interrogation 

Canada's public broadcaster has acquired footage of the interrogation of a Canadian teenage detainee at the Guantanamo Bay prison.
It is the first time such an insight into conditions at the United States facility for terrorism suspects has made its way into the open. A 10 minute clip, released on the internet, shows Canadian agents interrogating Omar Khadr in 2003. Khadr cries throughout the video and complains of a lack of medical treatment, but the tape does not show any abuse.
The tape was released by Khadr's defence lawyers, who are seeking his return to Canada. They say he has been consistently isolated and deprived of sleep. Khadr was 15 when he was captured in Afghanistan in 2002, after allegedly killing a US soldier with a grenade.
