Someone was using a Post-It note to remind them to not lock their keys in the office. The designers at TPM Technologies came up with a 3D printed part that looks a little nicer than the dog-eared, barely-hanging-on note. The unit fits snuggly around the door knob cap. 3D printing is bringing all kinds of new applications to products of all kinds. You can see the projects list over at TPM Technologies by clicking here. One fascinating story in 2013 for 3D printing is Robohand. The Robohand is an open source prosthetic developed using 3D printing technology. Makers from all over the world are donating their capability to help people that need fingers. You can visit the site where they have a blog and see what is happening.

A 24 hr Day in the Life of a 3D Printer
We overheard the Makerbot talking to itself at the 3D Cyber Wigwam today…
12:00 am I'm awake but no one is stirring. The part from yesterday is still on the build plate.
5:30 am The Boss is awake. Time to look sharp.
5:35 am That door clamp is removed from the build plate. That was a 3 hour build. I put a lot of layers into that one.
5:36 am Boss wants to change filaments. I have to heat up the head.
5:37 am Pink? What's he got in mind now?
5:38 am Oh Boy, here comes the instructions. A piece of cake. This one is only 23,462 blocks.
5:39 am Build plate is heating, come on.
5:43 am Build plate is 110C. Fire up the extruder.
5:44 am Build plate is 110C, Extruder is 220C.
5:45 am Bring the build plate up and start extruding.
5:46 am First layer complete. Hmmm, interesting pattern. Now for layer 2. This one has 3 solid layers to begin.
5:48 am Now we begin the honeycomb fill. Trace, trace, trace.
6:15 am Ooo, the extruder is getting too hot, a little more fan.
7:00 am I see, this is a personalized key ring that looks like a karabiner.
7:10 am I see. It's personalized with writing on the side, "Rachel." That must be why it's pink.
7:20 am Now to finish the top layers.
7:30 am Complete! TaDa! Ring the bell.
7:31 am They must be in a hurry today. They are switching in a new program. 264,516 blocks. This one's going to take a while to crunch.
7:32 am The build plate hasn't cooled too much. Come on, get to temp.
7:34 am Build plate up to temp, Bring up the extruder.
7:37 am OK! Let's start laying some extrusion. Hmmm, interesting pattern.
7:38 am Got to fill it in.
7:39 am Next solid layer.
7:40 am One more solid layer.
7:41 am Now the honey comb. How deep is this thing?
7:42 am I think it's another one of those roof rack accessories. Time will tell. It's not too often we have a large radius like this.
8:30 am Oh, boy this is getting boring, we've done the same pattern now for 40 layers. What's that in human speak? 1/2 an inch?
8:45 am Temps ok. Something different coming up. Oh goody.
8:50 am A couple holes on the side wall. Careful that they don't sag.
9:40 am I feel like I've spent my life on this pattern.
9:45 am Hey, it's time for the top surface. It's got the part number in it. That's what those funny notches were.
9:50 am One more stitch, we're done! Lower the build plate. Turn the heaters off. Ring the bell.
10:50 am Did anyone hear us?
11:50 am Did anyone hear us? This part is complete.
12:50 am Hey, anyone out there? There's a part on the build plate.
1:50 pm Hmm, we finished it, right?
2:50 pm Should we ring the bell again?
3:50 pm We could do it again. No, that wouldn't work. That thing is still sitting on the build plate, in the way. Besides the heaters are all cooled off.
5:50 pm Just our luck they'll show up at supper time and expect us to work.
7:50 pm Hey, someone pulled the program chip out. Maybe something will happen.
8:30 pm Finally we got that thing off the build plate. It was starting to grow barnacles.
9:30 pm Here comes the program chip. What's in store?
9:31 pm 860,567 blocks? That will take us all night!
9:32 pm Build plate heater on. Hey you've got to get to 110C, don't take all day.
9:52 pm Build plate up to temp. Fire up the extruders.
9:55 pm OK! Start laying extrusion.
10:05 pm Hmm, this pattern looks familiar.
10:30 pm It's similar but different. Time for honeycomb.
11:30 pm I see, it's pretty much the same except they made that hole bigger. Make sure it doesn't sag!
11:59 pm This is boring. I feel like I've been doing this all day. Move, extrude, move extrude, move, extrude. How deep is this thing anyway?
1 inch cube technology at Council Blogs & Studio YouTube
How much can you fit in a one inch cube? The bloggers at Council Blogs saw the latest addition at Studio YouTube. It is a small self contained video camera that fits in a case 1 inch X 1 inch X 1 inch. The unit sports a 1/4″ tripod mount, infrared LEDs for night vision, a slot for a micro SD memory chip, power and operation buttons, LED indicators, and a USB connection. The battery is self contained. Initial experiments with the SYT quad copter went well as far as the video. The weight and balance in relation to the quad copter is another story. Great footage of aerial acrobats and crash landings looking sideways when the dust settles. The technology of video capture at this size is quite amazing and intriguing. This paves the way for the DIY Drone project at SYT later this fall.
Does 500 Gigabytes help you to remember? Don't forget backups!
The continual price drop of memory for computers is simply amazing. The bloggers here at the Cyber Wigwam collectively tickle close to 3 Terabytes of memory every time we meet. WordPress blogs and applications do have a bit of a memory load. The ease at which we can generate content and store it helps us to amass a tremendous amount of "stuff" in our computers and hard drives. Here at lept Like A Blog we have turned to external hard drives and USB memory sticks as storage devices. The main thing is to remember to back it up. Hours of work can quickly dissipate when a memory device fails. In one case we have worn out an SD chip where the pins have become detached and one computer will not read the chip. Luckily, not all chip readers are created equal and some of the computers at Council Blogs will still read it. Which begs the question. How big is the cloud and how often is it backed up? Just like Click and Clack, our parting close is "and don't backup like my brother!"
MayDay: Time for spring cleaning on those 17 draft blog posts
Most of the bloggers here at the Cyber Wigwam have kept up posting on a regular basis. Inside of the WordPress dashboard their list of draft posts is minimal. In a few rare cases the list of draft posts is quite long.
With spring in the air and May Day around the corner it is time to think about allowing some of those great ideas to sprout. Who knows what profound thoughts lurks in those top of mind ramblings. WordPress.com has a neat feature that allows you to send a link of your draft post to trusted advisors for their feedback. It is called "Request Feedback" and is a button below the post editor box in the Writing Helper box.
Your trusted advisors will receive an email with a link to your draft. When they click on that link they can view your draft and have a box to comment. You can then look at the list of comments in the same Request Feedback box. So now that spring is here, take a look at those lists of draft posts and see what can be finished up.

5 Productivity tips for Busy Bloggers in 2013
Ever wonder how you could be more productive in your blogging other than typing faster? The left hand shortcut keys are your answer. If you want to be more productive like the bloggers here at the Cyber Wigwam you can practice using the shortcuts listed below. Adapted into Windows from the early Apple days who pulled it from high-end workstations at the time, there is a series of keys that give your left hand something to do while your right hand is busy with the mouse. Once you get used to how they work you can increase your productivity. The letters don't literally make sense but are chosen to use the lower bank of left-most keys to make it easy for your left hand. The technique is to use the Ctrl key. The nice thing is that most applications support the functionality. Here are the keys:
Ctrl-Z : Undo
Ctrl-X : Cut
Ctrl-C : Copy
Ctrl-V : Paste
Ctrl-A : Select all
The Apple keyboard works the same and you can use the Apple key instead of the Ctrl key. Get more productive and practice using your shortcut keys today.
Cyber Tuesday – not too late for stocking stuffers for your dog
You missed Cyber Monday but the beauty of the internet is you can still order things online and receive them in time to stuff them in a stocking. You can click over here and order your customized dog biscuit cutter any time during Cyber Week and get it in time for stuffing in someone's stocking. Order early and you'll have time to make a batch of biscuits too! They are even safe for Santa to eat. Check out the recipes here. The cutters are made special to order with your dog's name with the 3D printing technology of the Makerbot. Many of the dogs of the bloggers at the Cyber Wigwam will be spoiled this Christmas with their personalized dog biscuit cutters. You can spoil your dog too!
Winterizing your blog for 2012
With cold weather hitting us in Illinois, we feel winter right around the corner. It is time to take a look at that long list of draft posts and see if one can be freshened up and published. The good news is that WordPress allows you to save lots of drafts. (No winter pun intended) The bad news is that WordPress allows you to save a lot of drafts. It can cruise along with you in your inspirational wisps of wit capturing those dutifully. But when your creative juices drop off you hit the save draft button and the list grows. So now it's time to check the list and see if there is something that can be finished. Here at the Cyber Wigwam we counted 40 draft posts between all the bloggers just waiting to find the public domain. When you get ready to click the Publish button, double-check that you have your tags selected. Here at Council Blogs all the bloggers have moved their Tags box up underneath the Publish box in the sidebar of the editing window. What tips do you have to share with the bloggers? Feel free to share and comment below.
Cyber Wigwam Votes Makerbot for Best 3D printing at Home 2012
After cranking out parts for the last month the chiefs at the Cyber Wigwam have declared the Makerbot Replicator a good tool for 3D printing at home. After a small learning curve, the Makerbot has the blogging club armed with keychains and personalized dog biscuit cutters. Click here for more on the cutters. The next experiment is using 3D panoramic imagery to make miniature 3D busts of the bloggers in the blogging club. The technology has advanced where a digital camera can be used as a 3D scanner. Stay tuned for the progress on that experiment. The Makerbot Replicator is a 3D printer a little bigger than a breadbox that extrudes ABS thermoplastic to realize a 3D shape. The Makerbot Replicator reperesents an excellent approach to 3D printing essentially out of the box. Feel free to comment on your 3D printing experiences below.

September 16th, 2013
Hey guys and girls,
I thought about how to address this letter for a couple nights, trying to decide how best to word it or bring it across. Suspire's been off and on (some of us more on than off) in our lives for a long time, and before Suspire there was Diablerie as well. We've made friends, lost friends, found husbands, wives, girlfriends and boyfriends on our game over the years. That's saying a lot for a table top game that managed to find it's way online! As you've probably guessed by now, we're going to shut off Suspire. We've discussed keeping the server running off and on for the past couple of years, and always decided to give it that "one more shot". But, I think at this point in our lives - myself and Tabby's that is - we're not really willing to dedicate the time and energy that it requires to be a pair of "good" Storytellers for everyone. In short, I guess you can say we've moved on and probably have for awhile, but it's sometimes something you're not really willing to let go of. We're going to be getting married and do travel, all the things we've talked about over the years but never had the money and careers to do. And honestly, that leaves Suspire gaming in the cold. I'd like to say that I'd always be in touch, but we all know the way of the Internet and those we've met on the Internet. That said, firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com are both ways that you could always drop a line to and say hello. If you'd like anything from the game wiki, feel free to send me an email and I'll pull it off of the server for you. I hope that you all have extraordinary lives and fulfill everything you want to do in the short time we've been given. With love, Christine (natasha) Suspire Roleplaying Network, 2006-2013 |

Who will have the better career -- Mesoraco or Grandal?
I know, it's early, but they're both essentially rookies, both born in 1988. Grandal went to Miami, Mesoraco signed out of high school. The Reds obviously bet on Mesoraco, but he has struggled in the bigs so far (albeit it is a small sample size).

Inventing a New Economy
What patent applications can tell us about America's economic prospects.
It should surprise no one that increased spending on R & D generates the patent flow that we have been discussing.
A few caveats are necessary—not about the data but about drawing quick policy conclusions from it. A patent application filed and granted in the United States by a U.S. company might not generate many jobs or much economic activity in the United States if the production and marketing of any resulting product or service took place overseas. So a critical question that remains is whether innovation in the United States will continue to have as significant and broad-based an economic impact as it has in the past. On balance, is it preferable to have Apple doing its R & D here, even if it manufactures the iPod in China? Of course it is, because the R & D here creates great value and wealth. But the loss of manufacturing jobs to the rest of the world has enormous economic consequences for the middle class.
Historically, our economic growth has depended in large part on our ability to generate new ideas and innovations. In addition, while there can be substantial discussion about which policies will best keep our innovation engine churning, increased investments in education—especially in technical fields—and basic R & D seem critical to any agenda. If we want robust economic growth to return, then we had better figure out how to reverse some of the trends suggested by this quick examination of patent data.

Windows Vista Delayed
Microsoft pushes its gaming-friendly OS into early 2007.
The PC gaming faithful have reason to pay attention to Windows Vista. Microsoft's new operating system promises not only various usability and security improvements, but plenty of support for gaming, not the least of which is DirectX 10 integration.
As if to emphasize the point, Microsoft is tying the PC version of Halo 2 to the new Windows; the game requires Vista in order to run, meaning Master Chief's newest missions won't be available to the mouse-and-keyboard set before the OS ships (Microsoft has yet to announce a release date for the game).
Unfortunately, that may be later than initially expected. Microsoft confirmed today that Windows Vista won't reach a wide audience until early 2007, instead of in the second part of 2006 as previously announced. Microsoft is delaying the consumer launch in part to accommodate PC manufacturers incorporating Vista.
Gamers savvy at sneaking in playtime at the office may be in luck, however. While Vista's broad launch doesn't come until next year, the system is still set to arrive for corporate customers in November 2006.
Microsoft is planning a second Vista beta test this spring.

self reliance
Self reliance is the behavioral mindset coupled with actions oriented toward independence as opposed to being dependent upon others for personal needs and wants.
In the context of daily living, the term "self reliance" is often used in reference to accomplishing yourself the basic survival skills common for a person to get by. These skills include the financial aspect of earning money for food, clothing, and housing; the ability to take care of oneself physically, mentally, and spiritually are also important components of self reliance.
Finally, a popular and contemporary way of thinking about self reliance amongst bloggers concerns the use of this term in a way that dwells upon growing and harvesting your own food, making your own apparel, preparing for emergencies, and frugal living.

Mutations in a Novel Isoform of TRIOBP That Encodes a Filamentous-Actin Binding Protein Are Responsible for DFNB28 Recessive Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 78, Issue 1, 1 January 2006, Pages 144-152 Hashem Shahin, Tom Walsh, Tama Sobe, Judeh Abu Sa'ed, Amal Abu Rayan, Eric D. Lynch, Ming K. Lee, Karen B. Avraham, Mary-Claire King and Moein Kanaan Abstract In a large consanguineous Palestinian kindred, we previously mapped DFNB28—a locus associated with recessively inherited, prelingual, profound sensorineural hearing impairment—to chromosome 22q13.1. We report here that mutations in a novel 218-kDa isoform of TRIOBP (TRIO and filamentous actin [F-actin] binding protein) are associated with DFNB28 hearing loss in a total of nine Palestinian families. Two nonsense mutations (R347X and Q581X) truncate the protein, and a potentially deleterious missense mutation (G1019R) occurs in a conserved motif in a putative SH3-binding domain. In seven families, 27 deaf individuals are homozygous for one of the nonsense mutations; in two other families, 3 deaf individuals are compound heterozygous for the two nonsense mutations or for Q581X and G1019R. The novel long isoform of TRIOBP has a restricted expression profile, including cochlea, retina, and fetal brain, whereas the original short isoform is widely expressed. Antibodies to TRIOBP reveal expression in sensory cells of the inner ear and colocalization with F-actin along the length of the stereocilia. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (2486 kb) |

At the Speed of Sound: Gene Discovery in the Auditory System The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 69, Issue 5, 1 November 2001, Pages 923-935 Barbara L. Resendes, Robin E. Williamson and Cynthia C. Morton Abstract As auditory genes and deafness-associated mutations are discovered at a rapid rate, exciting opportunities have arisen to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying hearing and hearing impairment. Single genes have been identified to be pathogenic for dominant or recessive forms of nonsyndromic hearing loss, syndromic hearing loss, and, in some cases, even multiple forms of hearing loss. Modifier loci and genes have been found, and investigations into their role in the hearing process will yield valuable insight into the fundamental processes of the auditory system.

In seven families, six different mutant alleles of TRIOBP on chromosome 22q13 cosegregate with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness. These alleles include four nonsense (Q297X, R788X, R1068X, and R1117X) and two frameshift (D1069fsX1082 and R1078fsX1083) mutations, all located in exon 6 of TRIOBP. There are several alternative splice isoforms of this gene, the longest of which, TRIOBP-6, comprises 23 exons. The linkage interval for the deafness segregating in these families includes DFNB28. Genetic heterogeneity at this locus is suggested by three additional families that show significant evidence of linkage of deafness to markers on chromosome 22q13 but that apparently have no mutations in the TRIOBP gene.

The Pink Glass Swan
Selected Feminist Essays on Art
Selected writings from America's leading feminist art critic.
In the 1970s, Lucy R. Lippard, author of the highly original and popular Mixed Blessings, merged her art-world concerns with those of the then-fledgling women's movement. In a career that spans sixteen books and scores of articles, catalogs, and essays on art, political activism, feminism, and multiculturalism, her engaging and provocative writings have heralded a new way of thinking about art and its role in the feminist movement.
This new collection of previously published essays covers more than two decades of Lippard's thinking on the ever-evolving definitions of feminist art, the convergence of high and low art, political and activist art, and the contributions of feminist theory to the politics of identity that infuses the production and exhibition of much of today's fine and popular art.
With a new introduction from the author, The Pink Glass Swan brings together selections from two of Lippard's leading works, From the Center: Feminist Essays on Art and Get the Message?:A Decade of Art for Social Change, and numerous other articles written for newspapers, magazines, and art catalogs across the country.
Lucy Lippard is one of America's most provocative and influential art writers, activists, and curators. She has written frequently for publications such as the Village Voice, In These Times, and the Nation and has published numerous other articles and books, including Mixed Blessings: New Art in a Multicultural America and Partial Recall: Photographs of Native North Americans (also from The New Press).

The President's press secretary said Wednesday that the potential loss of middle-class manufacturing jobs in places like Wichita where bizjets are built is a "difficult choice" that has to be made to preserve jobs for teachers or the national defense.
And the remarks, not surprisingly, drew the ire of GAMA. Beechcraft, formerly Hawker Beechcraft, announced Tuesday it has formally emerged from the Chapter 11 process. The company's Joint Plan of Reorganization (Plan) was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and became effective on Feb. 15, 2013. The Japanese Transport Ministry said Wednesday that a battery in the auxiliary power unit (APU) aboard an ANA Dreamliner which was forced to make an emergency landing January 16 was incorrectly connected to the main battery that overheated. But they have not said definitely that the miswiring was the cause of the failure. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!

"We ADORED this groovy little shack, the kids became quite attached and were downright miserable to leave (umm, me too!). Cooking together while spinning the vinyl, early morning beach walks, late afternoon bush walks, swimming (and thanking the weather gods), barbecuing, catching up and making memories. Hooray for summer! Thanks Angela, and if you're ever thinking of selling SBH... we're a bit smitten" - Stayz Guest Review. Please also read our review in the Lonely Planet guide to Tasmania.

"We all LOVED this gorgeous house, inside and out. It has a great vibe. Lovely artworks, funky interior, comfy beds, great record collection ... charming flowering garden and big lawn. This is a beach house full of good times and memories. We didn't want to leave. And thanks Angela for your much valued list of local tips." - Stayz Guest Review.
Surrounded by Rocky Cape National Park, Sisters Beach House is perfect for people who wish to explore the secluded beaches or inland tracks, or enjoy swimming in its pristine beaches. Sisters is famous for its record collection and the collective memories created by reliving various music eras. We invite guests to wind down and relax in front of the wood fire heater, or out on the deck, spin some vinyl and enjoy the beautiful surrounding environment.
"We have really loved our stay @ your lovely Beach House. It has been a delight to take in all the wonderful touches you have provided, and the bed was fantastic! ... the best nights sleep Ive had in at least 10 years! We have added a couple of spoons to your collection. This psychedelic relic thanks you for sharing the albums, especially 'Ripper' and 'Peter Frampton Live'. Awesome." - Visitor Guest Book
"We all just loved the property, it has such a nice vibe. Sadly the weather was very ordinary, but it made for a very nice Saturday night with too many wines playing board games ... We loved the vinyls - they were on high rotation! I had to laugh when one of them asked how to 'pause' a record ... Thanks again for having us and being flexible with the additional guests - the kids had a great time" - Visitor Guest Book.
"A lovely sunny day! Off to Boat Harbour, on our way to Stanley to visit the Nut and see the lobsters. We liked them so much we invited one home for dinner along with 12 young oysters! A detour to Smithton before returning for another beach walk (at Sisters), what luxury! "- Visitor Guest Book.
"Great house; very relaxing. Loved the fact that its always 11 o'clock; light = 11am; not light = 11pm. Enjoyed catching up on all the gossip mags here. Some great local cow cooked on outside timber BBQ. Perfect atmosphere & flavour. Had some fun reliving old times spinning the vinyl (11 year olds question - Does that sound come out of the grooves?) "- Visitor Guest Book.
"Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed staying at your shack. Weather was good and we really liked exploring the local area. It was great to stay in a place that was more like a home, not a generic resort style operation "- Visitor Guest Book.

Our famous vinyl collection includes original 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s music such as 10CC, ABBA, ACDC, Beatles, Bruce Springstean, David Bowie, Dusty Springfield, Elton John, Kiss, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Style Council, Black Sabbath, Gary Glitter, Glenn Campbell, Heart, Icehouse, Neil Diamond, Randy Crawford, Roberta Flack, Rolling Stones, Silver Convention, Soul II Soul, Suzi Quatro, Terence Trent Derby, Wham and many more.
Gaps in the record collection are filled with ill-fated K-Tel compilation records such as Ripper, The Best of Motown, Disco Motion and 20 Happening Hits. We make no apologies for our 'taste' in vinyl and our guests love it.

Book Description: From the world-award-winning writer comes the gripping, true story of a group of Alaskan Eskimo students who, despite nearly impossible odds, achieve one of the most stunning educational feats in the history of American education. In 1982, George Guthridge brought his wife and two young daughters to Gambell, Alaska, a small village on the edge of the remote blizzard-swept St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea, one of the harshest and most remote places in Alaska. Guthridge was there to teach at a Siberian-Yupik school -- a school so troubled it was under threat of closure. For its own reasons, the school district enters the students into one of the most difficult academic competitions in the nation. The school has no computers and very few books. The students lack world knowledge and speak English as a second language. Still, George resolves to coach them to a state championship. But the students have an even greater goal of their own. Hilarious, disturbing, densely atmospheric -- and packed with surprises at every turn -- The Kids from Nowhere is a powerful, poignant story that will make you want to cry and cheer at the same time. Similar to an Alaskan Stand and Deliver, this is an inspiring story of triumph over adversity that provides a fascinating view of a remote Alaska Native village.

Hollis school officials call police on Santa Claus
HOLLIS — Santa Claus paid an unannounced visit to Hollis Primary School Thursday morning, waving at students through windows and causing concern for school officials who called police.
Police said a school official called them just before 10 a.m. after Santa showed up and ran around the school waving to students in classrooms.
Santa's actions caused concern, police said, because no one knew who the man dressed as Santa was, and he left school grounds before police could speak to him.
Other schools in Hollis and Brookline were notified of the incident, and the school district also informed parents.
About 12:30 p.m., the man who dressed as Santa called police telling them he was a town resident who just wanted to spread some holiday cheer. Police said he did not understand how his actions would be perceived.
He had no ill intentions and police said he will not be charged in connection with the incident.

Drug: Hyperimmune intravenous immunoglobulin
Single intravenous infusion of 0.4g/kg of H1N1 2009 H-IVIG
Other Name: H-IVIG
Detailed Description:
Since the emergence of the novel swine origin influenza A virus (H1N1 2009) in Mexico in March 2009, the virus has led to a pandemic in over 170 countries, resulting in over 180 thousands microbiologically confirmed cases and over 18000 mortality. This strain represents a quadruple re-assortment of two swine strains, one human strain, and one avian strain of influenza. Although the H1N1 2009 is causing a mild disease and has a relatively low mortality rate currently in Hong Kong, severe cases have been reported.
Patients infected with severe H1N1 2009 have overwhelmed the intensive care services in these countries and the mortality has rose up to 6% in Argentina and Brazil, and 0.4% in Australia. This is very much higher than the 0.06% mortality rate of the seasonal flu. Furthermore, there were reports of H1N1 2009 oseltamivir resistance and zanamivir is difficult to be delivered to the consolidated lungs in the severe cases when such drug is most needed. In Hong Kong, vaccination for the H1N1 2009 was prioritised to the older people aged 65 or above with chronic illness, younger people with chronic illness and health care workers. The healthy adults aged 18 to 65, who are most at risk of developing severe H1N1 2009 was not covered by the vaccination program. Experience from 1918 H1N1 pandemic and single case report on the treatment for severe H5N1 infection (Zhou et al. 2007) showed that hyperimmune convalescent plasma is useful (Luke et al. 2006). Mice experiments also showed that antibody therapy is highly effective in the case of H5N1 infection (Heltzer ML et al. 2009, Writing Committee of the Second World Heath Organization, 2008). Therefore, convalescent plasma from patients recovered from H1N1 2009 infection can be harvested to prepare for hyperimmune intravenous immunoglobulin (H-IVIG) and the prepared H-IVIG can be assessed in a randomised controlled trial for treatment of patients with severe H1N1 2009 infection.

About the Schwalbe brand
For over 70 years Schwalbe have dominated the two wheeled tyre industry in Germany and Europe, being voted best MTB tyre brand in Germany for the past two years. From the very early beginnings where the company founder, Earnest-Wilhelm Bohle capitalised on the developing cycle industry, to the ultra modern distribution facility near Cologne, Schwalbe have continued to design and manufacture some of the finest bicycle tyres available. Schwalbe's success is due in part to the effort it makes in product development from lab tests at the manufacturing facility to the hardest proving grounds of all, professional cycle racing. 'Team Gerolsteiner' achieved a very creditable 7th place overall in the 2004 Tour de France and the unique performance of team captain Davide Rebellin winning three major classic races back to back using Schwalbe tyre. Other notable succeses include Normann Stadler winning the infamous Ironman triathlon in Hawaii, riding Schwalbe Stelvio tyres.

Print / FilmUpon finishing our annual "film" issue, I visited good friend and Color illustrator Ben Tour at the set of an independent film he's working on.
The projects requires 10 foot high paintings from Mr. Tour for a total of 1000 square feet. Needless to say, he was happy to get a visitor... maybe not as stoked as I was to be there.
On my way back to the office I went past this other film set. Talk about Hollywood North!
Stay posted for our annual "film" issue (8.5) dropping later this month with a very special illustration by Ben Tour for our Tattered Ten interview.
