What is Hotlinking?
It is posting an image from one website onto another one, such as BZ. This not only steals bandwidth from original site, but also may result in broken links overtime (empty posts & etc), an increased server bill for the original site, and potential legal issues.
An Example of Hotlinking: Taking an image from victoriassecret.com, then copying the URL of the image and posting it using the image tags with their URL. It looks like this:
[img=VS Image URL]There are many free image-hosting sites on the web. Here is a short list of some hosts:
ImageShack - nudity is not allowed on this host
TinyPic - For images under 1050 pixels in width only
*Images hosted on social media sites such as facebook, instagram, pinterest, tumblr, twitter, VK, etc. are not meant to be hotlinked outside their approved sites.

When Vaclav
Klaus, who has just won reelection as President of the Czech
Republic, states that he has comparative advantage over other speakers
on the issue of Climate Change, he is trenchantly correct. Klaus
lived under the last large central planning scheme — communism.
He rejects the offer to live under the even more draconian central
plan of our time — climate alarmism and environmentalism.
explained his déjà vu vantage point to over
five hundred participants at the 2008
International Conference on Climate Change assembled
at Times Square New York City on March 2–4. Stressing his personally
acquired wisdom, Klaus said, "Future dangers will not come
from the same source [communism]. The ideology will be different.
Its essence [environmentalism and climate alarmism] will, nevertheless,
be identical — the attractive, pathetic, at first sight noble idea
that transcends the individual in the name of common good, and the
enormous self-confidence on the side of its proponents about their
right to sacrifice the man and his freedom in order to make this
idea a reality."
I see in Europe and the U.S.," Klaus cautioned, "is
a powerful combination of irresponsibility, of wishful thinking,
of implicit believing in some form of Malthusianism, of a cynical
approach of those who are themselves sufficiently well-off, together
with the strong belief in the possibility of changing the economic
nature of things through a radical political project."
Klaus focused
on facts that showed that decreases in CO2 emissions in the EU have
come about because manufacturing radically disappeared when the
communist economy collapsed. Future decreases appear to rely on
miracles or the deliberate pushing of the EU countries back into
the Dark Ages. Carbon dioxide decreases are not normal for growing
and prospering civilizations, given current technology. Most of
those assembled would not consider such decreases to be either needed
or desirable.
Klaus brought
to our attention that the thinking of the climate alarmist is the
same as Hayek's portrayal of central planners in The
Fatal Conceit. He boldly challenged the large assembly,
"We have to restart the discussion about the very nature
of government and about the relationship between the individual
and society. [Freedom] should be the main message of our conference."
The aim and
objective of this stimulating gathering was to collapse the fake
on human-induced catastrophic global warming. Achieving this is
a necessary step toward turning climate alarmism into climate realism.
The step was taken. "Consensus"
collapsed. Over one
hundred scientists were provocative proof of the absence of
"consensus" that has been touted by alarmists.
These scientists
presented, exchanged and debated research showing global warming
to be mostly natural, definitely moderate and realistically unstoppable.
They held no consensus in their approaches or their results. Enter
the dawn of climate realism.
The New
York Times on Tuesday, March 4, ran an article by Andrew C.
Revkin titled "Cool View of Science at Meeting on Warming."
Written as a criticism, Revkin wrote that "the group…displayed
a dizzying range of ideas on what was, or was not, influencing climate."
That was the very point of the conference.
No "consensus"
can be touted when, in fact, so many scientists do indeed dispute
what data are meaningful and causative of the highly complex dynamics
of climate change. Several, like Dr.
Willie Soon, astrophysicist and geoscientist, displayed data
the sun to be the more likely driver of temperature variations,
as compared to carbon dioxide radiative forcings.
Howard Hayden,
physics professor, concluded that astronomical phenomena cause about
seventy-five percent of the fluctuations in Earth's temperature.
The combined effects of all greenhouse
gases, changes in surface reflectivity of the sun's radiation,
and other Earthly changes account for no more than about three degrees
Celsius of the changes during transitions between ice ages and interglacials.
Hayden provided a repeatable sound bite when asked about computer
models that are the basis for alarmist views. He simply said, "Garbage
in; gospel out."
William M. Gray, meteorological researcher for more than
forty years, contributed that the deep oceans, not carbon dioxide,
are driving climate. Rather than global warming, Gray believes a
recent up-tick in strong hurricanes is part of a multi-decade trend
of alternating busy and slow periods related to ocean circulation
patterns. Contrary to mainstream thinking, Gray believes ocean temperatures
are going to drop in the next five to 10 years.
Vincent Gray, knows water vapor to be the principle greenhouse
gas as others do. However, Gray emphasizes that climate models fail
to reflect the fact that water vapor is extremely variable. Gray's
work finds that the global warming claim fails on two fundamental
facts: 1.) No average temperature of any part of the earth's surface,
over any period, has ever been made. 2.) The sample is grossly unrepresentative
of the earth's surface, mostly near to towns. No statistician could
accept an "average" based on such a poor sample. It cannot possibly
be "corrected." Dr. Vincent Gray, a member of the UN IPCC Expert
Reviewers Panel since its inception, has written to Professor David
Henderson, to support the latter's
call for a review of the IPCC and its procedures. Gray's call
for such a review ends with these harsh words, "The disappearance
of the IPCC in disgrace is not only desirable but inevitable. The
reason is that the world will slowly realize that the "predictions"
emanating from the IPCC will not happen. The absence of any "global
warming" for the past eight years is just the beginning. Sooner
or later all of us will come to realize that this organization and
the thinking behind it is phony. Unfortunately severe economic damage
is likely to be done by its influence before that happens."
Roy Spencer, NASA senior scientist, produced recent
evidence for reduced climate sensitivity. Background "noise"
in climate systems creates temperature variations that are not random.
This "noise" exceeds all of the warming that has been
thought to have been made by humans. Climate models don't handle
clouds and convection in the tropics well. Precipitation systems
interactively regulate the climate system. Computer models predicting
climate change are necessarily flawed. Spencer releases his new
book March 27, 2008: Climate
Confusion — How Global Warming Hysteria Leads to Bad Science, Pandering
Politicians, and Misguided Policies That Hurt the Poor.
Robert Balling, professor of climatology, questioned what the
increase in global temperature does and does not tell us. Water
vapor and non-solar control seem dominant. The theory, measurements,
and understanding of the greenhouse effect are advancing rapidly,
and drastically changing the original predictions from only a few
decades ago. Measured warming has been nowhere near the earlier
predictions, and the mathematical models are being constantly revised.
Both Balling and Dr. Ross McKitrick highlighted failings
in data collection. Many temperature stations have been discontinued.
Technology for recording temperatures has changed. Urban heat-island
effects continue. Data adjustments made by alarmists appear biased.
T. Avery, and co-author S.
Fred Singer, wrote Unstoppable
Global Warming — Every 1,500 Years They presented
their findings and stressed, "Most of our modern warming
occurred before 1940, before much human-emitted CO2. The net warming
since 1940 is a minuscule 0.2 degree C – with no warming at all in
the last nine years. The Greenhouse Theory can't explain these realities,
but the 1,500-year cycle does." The cycle is solar induced.
cores show sun, not humans, controlling Earth's climate.
So, no consensuses
None need exist
when the subjects are scientific.
and theories should continue to be tested.
By different
skeptical approaches each scientist at this gathering proved he
was courageous. Why courageous? Because, to be a climate change
skeptic is political-funding suicide. Few feel they can step forward
before they retire. Many, even when gathered together and taking
courage from the presence of so many others, felt they had to step
away from being in group pictures. Those are choices. They are respected.
Debunking the
false "consensus" position of climate alarmists didn't
end with the mere conclusion of the conference. Several synchronous
efforts include: A Manhattan
Declaration on Climate Change. It was endorsed by scientists
and researchers. The document stated clearly that "Global warming"
is not a global crisis. This tangible product with many signatories
declared among other points: That attempts by governments
to inflict taxes and costly regulations on industry and individual
citizens with the aim of reducing emissions of CO2 will pointlessly
curtail the prosperity of the West and progress of developing nations
without affecting climate; the furtherance of the nascent International
Climate Science Coalition (ICSC)
publication of a current and future Nongovernmental International
Panel on Climate Change report (NIPCC)
a new journal on climate science; making video presentations from
the conference online; making audio CDs of either a session or the
complete conference available; enlistment of interested parties
into a speakers bureau; and a 2009 London conference being planned.
This agenda
is aggressive, necessary, and appreciated. Hopefully there will
be many others who step up, especially in response to Vaclav Klaus'
plea that we recognize that the issue has never been global climate
cooling or global climate warming. It has always and ever been about
political power and control of earth's population.
over seventeen years I have witnessed at United Nations international
gatherings so much ego, money and meeting time being poured into
this global central plan to ration energy — to control carbon dioxide
by controlling people. To control people by controlling carbon dioxide.
To brand the stuff of life — carbon — a deadly pollutant. Political,
activist and business careers, especially legal careers, now depend
upon creating this new bureaucratic global layer of rules and regulations.
The new-age rulers want the wealth and power that will accrue to
them as they impose their centralized, consummate plans upon us.
The Czech Republic's
President stands firm, honoring the lives and liberties of his citizenry
against this particular brand of fresh oppression. Would that these
United States had such a courageous leader.

Volume 4 (2010)
The Journal of Physical Security 4(1), 2010
Welcome to the latest issue, 4(1) of the Journal of Physical Security. This is a very eclectic issue. It includes papers about museum security, using private citizens to neutralize shooters and armed assailants, and how to combine data from various security sensors to decide on an intrusion threshold. There is also a paper about techniques for detecting sticky bombs on motor vehicles, and a discussion of the peer-review process and physical security.
The latter paper, by Associate Editor Jon Warner, is meant inter alia to address questions that our contributors and potential contributors have frequently asked about the peer review process used by this journal and many others. While a peer review process is common in science and engineering (and often familiar to researchers in cryptography, criminology, or cyber security), people who work in physical security may not have previously encountered the concept.
Jon's paper also contains a brief analysis of the type and number of journals and papers about physical security. One of the reasons we started the Journal of Physical Security (JPS) was because of a perceived lack of journals devoted to physical security, especially peerreviewed journals. Jon's analysis suggests their continues to be a need for this type of journal.
As usual, the views expressed by the authors and the editor in the Journal of Physical Security are their own, and should not necessarily be ascribed to Argonne National Laboratory, UChicago LLC, or the United States Department of Energy.

Paper 1 - Formal Evaluation of a Majority
Voting Concept to Improve the Dependability of Multiple Technology Sensors
Francesco Flammini
Finding a good trade-off among the probability of detection (POD), the false alarm rate (FAR) and the reliability of detectors is a very important task in physical security system design. Existing solutions try to achieve this aim either by using the most advanced technologies or by combining basic sensors in logical OR/AND relations. However, these approaches are either not cost-effective or they do not allow for the necessary flexibility to obtain the right balance. In this paper I propose a majority voting scheme for multiple technology detectors which I evaluate using stochastic modelling techniques....

Shawn F. Peppers
The current physical security paradigm that engages an active shooter primarily depends upon law enforcement - which has response time limitations. From the time of the shooter's first shot until his incapacitation, 3 to 4 minutes have elapsed, with the shooter having shot a person every 15 seconds. The Strategic Citizen, derived from the Federal Flight Deck Officer (FFDO) Program, is a conceptual homeland security model for enhancing the physical security of Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR) against armed assault...

and the Thomas Crown Affair (**)
Eric C. Michaud
Over the years, I've daydreamed about stealing a Vermeer, a Picasso, or Rembrandt. It tickles me, as much as watching the reboot of The Thomas Crown Affair. Why is it, do you suppose, so much fun (despite the obvious immorality) to think about stealing a world renowned piece off the wall of a major metropolitan museum? Is it the romantic thoughts of getting away with it, walking past infrared detectors, and pressure sensors ala Indiana Jones with the sack of sand to remove the idol without triggering the security system? Is it the idea of snatching items with such fantastic prices, where the romance of possessing an item of such value is less intoxicating than selling it to a private collector for it to never be seen again? I suspect others share my daydreams as they watch theater or hear of a brazen daylight heist at museums around the world, or from private collections...

Roger G. Johnston, Jim Vetrone, and Jon S. Warner
A "sticky bomb" is a type of improvised explosive device (IED) placed on a motor vehicle by (for example) a terrorist. The bomb is typically attached with adhesive ("duct") tape, or with magnets. This paper reports some preliminary results for a very rudimentary demonstration of two techniques for detecting the placement of a sticky bomb on a motor vehicle. There are other possible security applications for these techniques as well...

On Monday morning, President Obama and Vice President Biden announced the launch of a government-wide Campaign to Cut Waste. The campaign builds on the Administration's ongoing efforts to make government more efficient, responsive, and accountable to the American people. The goal is to find and eliminate unnecessary expenditures of taxpayer dollars across the federal government. As Vice President Biden said during his press conference, we want to create "the most transparent and efficient Federal Government in our lifetime."
The Campaign will include two key elements: a new oversight and accountability board, and regular meetings where Cabinet members will report directly to the Vice President on progress in cutting waste and delivering results. Both will build on the successful and unprecedented transparency and accountability the Vice President oversaw during the spending of Recovery Act funds.
As the Labor Department's Chief Operating Officer, I worked closely with Vice President Biden's team to make sure that Recovery Act funds distributed through the Labor Department were accounted for; we distributed funds quickly and efficiently; and where we found fraud, waste or abuse, we addressed it. I know our entire leadership team is eager to continue and expand our efforts consistent with the President's new campaign.
One of the campaign's first steps will be targeting duplication among the estimated 24,000 Federal Government websites. The Labor Department's Customer Service Modernization Program (CSMP) is finding ways to make the department's websites easier to use. For example, we've reduced the number of public-facing email addresses on DOL websites by over 1,300. The elimination of duplicative or out-of-date email addresses is making it easier for our customers to contact the correct agency or individual to address their concerns.
As part of future steps in the CSMP, we will also be streamlining our web presence and consolidating websites to provide the public with easier and more intuitive ways to communicate with DOL. These moves won't just save the department money – they will make DOL more responsive to inquiries and complaints and thus allow us to better serve our stakeholders.
Since Secretary Solis and the rest of our leadership team began our work in 2009, our goal has been to deliver services more effectively and efficiently to the American public, and at the lowest cost possible. The Campaign to Cut Waste and the President's accompanying Executive Order align with several DOL efforts already underway, and will guide our work moving forward.
Every bit of resources we save will permit a more intensive focus on job training and skills development programs, enforcement of workplace laws, and improved outcomes for workers across the country. Simply, the Campaign to Cut Waste will allow us to more efficiently achieve our department's mission: Good Jobs for Everyone.
Seth Harris is the Deputy Secretary of Labor.

He has been nominated many times for various awards and has won some too . He won two flimfare awards.His life has been characterized several ups and down . Here is a brief description of how he has been through various stages of his life.
High Image courtesy to the owner.
Early Days:-
Akshay kumar was born in Amritsar. His father was an army officer and mother a housewife. He did his schooling in Don Bosco School in Mumbai and then graduated from Guru Nanak Khalsa College in Mumbai.
He learned Thikondo while in India and obtained black belt.Then he went to Bangkok,Thailand where he learned Martial Arts.He also learned Muay Thai there.
During his stay in Thailand , he worked as a chef . After returning back to India , he started teaching Martial Arts . One of his students was a photographer who recommended him to do modelling.His student got him a modelling assignment.
Akshay kumar got a handsome amount just for posing few hours in front of camera . One morning he missed his flight for an ad-shoot at Bangalore. Disappointed with himself, he went for his usual rounds at various film studios with his portfolio.
Luckily that same evening, Kumar was signed for a lead role by producer Pramod Chakravarthy for the movie Deedar.
Akshay Kumar is not his real name he uses it for his filmy career, his birth name is Rajiv Hari Om-Bhatia. We all knows that he is famously known for khiladi, all the Bollywood movie which named Khiladi, belongs to Akshay Kumar. There are eight movies which are named on Khiladi, these are,
Movie Name
Year of Movie
|Main Khiladi Tu Anari
|Sabse Bada Khiladi
|Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi
|Mr. and Mrs. Khiladi
|International Khiladi
|Khiladi 420
|Khiladi 786
That is the reason why Akshay Kumar so called Khiladi Kumar. Kumar is a very handsome man he is 5 feet 11 inches tall, Akshay is 45 years old but he doesn't look so. Akshay Kumar makes his debut from Saugandh in 199, and after that a very next year he will get a huge appreciation for the movie Khiladi in 1992, that was a blockbuster movie of 1992, this movie had changed the entire career of Akshay Kumar, this movie was full of action and suspense, which took Akshay to the peak of success. This year Akshay Kumar has 3 movies, one is already a big hit, Special 26, and other two are near to release. The second Once Upon a Time In Mumbaai Dobara the movie is round the corner, releasing on August 15, 2013. This movie will be another hit for Akshay Kumar and after that on October 18, 2013, he has another big release, that means that this year will be an another successful year for Akshay Kumar.
Upcoming Movies of Akshay Kumar 2014-2015:

text: Sexually Biased Insurance Mandates: Concealed Taxes Set to Backfire by Fergus Hodgson August 9, 2011 Proponents of the latest federal mandates on medical insurance, targeted solely at women, defend them with claims that they will save money, improve health, and reduce unwanted pregnancies. Such confidence in this lopsided government coercion is either naive or disingenuous. A shift toward "preventive care" and fewer subsequent treatments is the supposed mechanism for cost savings.

DSF40 TOPICS: "Focusing on myself; Changing the things I can; Detaching"
TOPICS: "Focusing on myself; Changing the things I can; Detaching" from 5-10-2010
Good morning all! I hope all the moms had a great weekend (Mother's day wknd)
I am ever grateful to be here, working it with you.
I have recently discovered, as I was newly diagnosed with add/adhd
that I have, actually – been "hyper-focusing" on my program and in my life.
This new term, that the neurologist gave me – it is exhausting too, it takes up about 25% of my total energy – to stay focused in life sans the new medication.
It was very hard before, the new ADHD medication has allowed me to think and focus much easier.
I did not know how to focus on me – growing up
I did not know how to love me.
What my family showed me, was how to be a co-dependent enabler, people pleaser and manipulator.
Thank god for free will/choice.
As an adult I can re-evaluate the "coping mechanisms"
that I developed as a child living in chaos and dysfunction. I can make choices that are healthier for me.
It is amazing how easy it is to hurt others emotionally, unconsciously
the manipulation and denial is SO strong
I wanted them to fix me, to help me (like I had done so lovingly for them for so many years).
I was not seeing the big picture or my own power.
I was stuck in that resentment and victim mentality for a long time and
it was terrifying to think about taking responsibility-
that meant I'd have to get up, clean off, change everything I was doing and
do something new.
Once I began to – change myself the only thing I can change or control ;)
it was instantly empowering.
It felt really good to be the impetus behind my own changes.
The second I put my focus onto someone else- their life, their choices, their consequences-
I am feeding the collective disease and I lose myself immediately in that.
I had to "put blinders" on
you know, like what the horses wear.
It took constant conscious effort
I was – reprogramming my mind and my behavior.
When you do change your own behavior
your feelings begin to change, then your perception changes.
Program allowed my mind to open so much more
I obviously didn't know everything.
My best thinking got me here
I had to throw out what I knew
my expectations, thoughts.
I got into reality
which is this present moment (only)
and then this next living moment – now is a process of living in awareness and the ability to respond in life.
The past and the future are not real- when I focused on that, it created chaos in my life and a lot of pain.
I lived in my head, in my own fantasies.
They were fear fantasies of dread, anxiety and the worst I could possibly imagine.
Now, I do not have to know everything. I can accept that.
You cannot prepare for everything
god will throw out something to you that you never even thought of even if you tried to think of every single scenario.
Being present in this moment, surrendering to god
focusing on just me – not others- is all I can do (or be insane).
This is my job to love myself and honor god/nature in my life.
To me, focusing on me and detachment are two sides of the same coin
to do one, is a constant reminder to do the other.
The loving part of detaching with love
came later for me, it snuck in from the back – it is a two-fold process.
As I followed my own boundaries
respected myself and "let" others do the same
I am expressing love which for me love is a verb
an action word, something you do and practice
just like forgiveness is.
It has been hard to accept other's choices sometimes
but when I did that (in general) I got so much freer in my life.
Others sensed it too
I was no longer a laser beam pointed at them
my mom was happier to be around me and see me
because I quit attempting and manipulating to control her. There was relief.
She doesn't have a program or want to change and
I can detach from her choices and accept them and respect her – that is her life, her business. I have learned validation and approval have no realm in love.
I don't get triggered like I used to by their (other's) behavior. I don't take it personally now.
It is an awesome experience to own yourself emotionally.
Many days wish I could hand others what I now have
-codie- behavior coming out again
so I can LOL about it and get back to me and detaching with compassion, understanding and loving kindness.
Love YOU because you are worth it and life is your gift.

Life Among the Cheeseheads
A UC grad is pursuing a fashion-focused writing career in Wisconsin, almost 1,000 miles away from her hometown. Read on to learn more about her inspiring adventure.
Graduating college, beginning a new career and moving to a completely new city are ingredients for adventure. Aviva M. Cantor, a 2010 graduate of the University of Cincinnati has recently begun a new chapter of her life by moving to Madison, Wisconsin and becoming an assistant editor for Shopbop.com, a fashion e-commerce Web site. Using her first love of writing, Cantor began a blog, Aviva in Dairyland as a way of motivation to explore her new home, but more importantly as a way to document this exciting time in her life.
Cantor's first and most important piece of advice to adventurous women pertains to going after what they want, she says. "Find a career path that truly interests you, and go to college for a degree that will specifically help you achieve that goal. Your degree should indicate your career and your future," Cantor says. Taking her own advice, she did just that and unknowingly began her own adventure.
During her junior year of high school, Cantor started thinking about career paths. Although she considers writing to be her first love, she says she didn't think going to college to learn about something she already knew about would hold much interest for her. Even though she isn't sure how she decided on a fashion merchandising major, Cantor says she's certain it's related to her background in figure skating. She started skating at four years old and ever since she can remember, she has designed and styled her own costumes for competitions and shows. "Through figure skating, fashion became my second love," she says.
While attending UC, Cantor earned a degree in fashion design, a certificate in journalism and squeezed in eight internships ranging from apparel design, footwear design, visual merchandising e-commerce, social media, publishing and broadcasting. These opportunities helped Cantor reach an important conclusion on what kind of career she wanted after graduating, she says. "I love to design, and I love to write, but I am best off at a job that is somewhere in between," Cantor says. This goal is realized in her Shopbop.com assistant editor position.
Now that Cantor is beginning her dream job, that's when the real adventure truly begins moving to the state of Wisconsin, 900 miles away from her family and friends in North Carolina and 500 miles away from her college friends in Cincinnati. But Cantor is staying very focused on making friends and getting to know the area, all while settling into actual adulthood, she says. Through her outgoing personality and a love of experiencing new things, she has quickly fallen in love with her new home. By keeping a blog, she has been recording things that have happened to her while in Madison. It has also replaced the answer to the repetitive question from her family and friends: "How's Wisconsin?"
She usually replies by saying, "It's great! Read my blog about it," she says.

Once the skiers and snowboarders got down the mountain, they had to hike back up and ride the gondola back down or hike out to the bottom because there's not a lot of snow down there.

Sandy Hook and Congresson January 3, 2013 @ 8:27 am (Updated: 11:33 am - 1/3/13 )
Sandy Hook Elementary was back in session Thursday, seven miles from the original school in Newtown, in a building re-made to look like old one.
Photos: Sandy Hook students return to school
"Everything is in order, where it should be," described one of the parents. "The desks are there, even down to the teacher's tic-tacs in the right spot. So they've done a great job."
There will be no special assembly and no one will bring up the massacre unless a child brings it up. The idea is to move on.
The big question now is whether the new Congress, which is also back in session Thursday, will want to bring it up.
The latest polling shows 49 percent of Americans say that it's more important to control gun ownership than to protect the rights of gun owners, and there's that celebrity gun control PSA, featuring Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz and other A-listers.
So the pressure is on. But so far, the only pro-gun members of Congress who appear willing to change their minds and support gun regulation are a handful of pro-gun Democrats.
And that celebrity ad has already turned up on YouTube as a mashup that intercuts those same celebrities with their most violent on-screen gun scenes.
It ends with Conan O'Brien saying, "enough," then a clip of him firing a machine gun on his show.
If you thought what happened at Newtown would make gun regulation a slam dunk: maybe not.
By the way, the new Sandy Hook Elementary is being protected by what reporters describe as a large number of police, just as the NRA has recommended.

RepRap: Before nanotechnology Posted by Erik de Bruijn in RepRap at 17:46

RepRap: Before nanotechnology
It's always nice to hypothesize about the future.
I think most will agree that nano-technology (as in nanomanufacturing) just isn't there yet, not discounting 'smart fabrics' (nanomaterials) or chemistry for that matter. As you can see, higher up Wikipedia's list of emerging technologies (commercial production) are 3D printers. An interesting belief that I share with the writer, is this:
"When the first "late beta†version of RepRap -the "replicating rapid-prototyper"- is released in early 2008, critics have a field day. It's slow. It's clumsy-looking. It can't actually replicate itself without adding a few key commercial parts. But where critics see an ugly duckling, design students, DIY hackers, and open source enthusiasts see a swan-in-the-making. By the summer, dozens of novel fabber projects emerge (some forked from RepRap, but most based on original designs), and by the fall, some have actually produced devices that an adventurous home user could play with. Forward-looking strategists at mega-retailers and mass manufacturers feel a distinct chill run up their collective spine. The open fabber era had begun, and through the end of the decade, free and open source software hackers around the world turn their attention to hardware… By the time molecular manufacturing applications do mature at the nanoscale, Openfabs are a ubiquitous fact of global life. It's not surprising, then, that the first atomically-precise devices are designed with Openfab-standard interconnects for integration into the existing open world standard for human-scale production infrastructuresâ€. "
Source: Scenario 2 of the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology Working Group
Their first scenario is a less optimistic scenario, but attaches the same promis of ubiquitous fabrication posibilities within years:
"Primitive computer-controlled fabrication machines, often called "fabbers" or "3D printers," had been available to universities and commercial manufacturers since the mid-1990s, but over the new century's first decade, this technology sees a dramatic drop in price combined with an equally-dramatic increase in sophistication. By 2009, these devices can easily "print" inexpensive electronic devices, low-efficiency photoelectric materials, and most "dumb" plastic products. Moreover, they prove able to make most of their own parts, the remainder being easily and cheaply obtained from hardware stores or by online mail-order. Refrigerator-size 3D printers more powerful than the best industrial fabbers of a few years earlier can be had for the cost of a used car.
These systems operate at the "meso-scale" of small-but-not-microscopic raw materials—resins, powdered solids, and other forms of "fabber toner." This technology isn't even close to precise molecular manufacturing, but for the first time, industrial designers as well as "do it yourself" hardware hackers can treat the material world like just more software. By the end of the decade, most universities have fabber design classes, and the "open source objects" movement rapidly gains steam (along with concerns about "product design piracy"). TIME magazine puts a $1500 Hewlett-Packard ThingJet on its July 2, 2010, cover, asking "Is this the decade of fabrication?""
Source: Ibid.
Scenario 3 end pretty inspiring:
"Economists I know are wondering about how to deal with a new economy that looks like it might begin to be based on abundance. The politicians are wondering what to do about a world where anyone can make just about anything. The rest of us are wondering about just what will come next."

(Originally published
The coppers came through the door with truncheons swinging, one of them reciting the terms of the warrant through a bullhorn. One of Da's customers had shopped him. The ipolice paid in high-grade pharmaceuticals—performance enhancers, memory supplements, metabolic boosters. The kind of thing that cost a fortune over the counter; the kind of thing you could print at home, if you didn't mind the risk of having your kitchen filled with a sudden crush of big, beefy bodies, hard truncheons whistling through the air, smashing anyone and anything that got in the way.
They destroyed grandma's trunk, the one she'd brought from the old country. They smashed our little refrigerator and the purifier unit over the window. My tweetybird escaped death by hiding in a corner of his cage as a big, booted foot crushed most of it into a sad tangle of printer-wire.
Da. What they did to him. When he was done, he looked like he'd been brawling with an entire rugby side. They brought him out the door and let the newsies get a good look at him as they tossed him in the car, while a spokesman told the world that my Da's organized-crime bootlegging operation had been responsible for at least twenty million in contraband, and that my Da, the desperate villain, had resisted arrest.
I saw it all from my phone, in the remains of the sitting room, watching it on the screen and wondering how, just how anyone could look at our little flat and our terrible, manky estate and mistake it for the home of an organized crime kingpin. They took the printer away, of course, and displayed it like a trophy for the newsies. Its little shrine in the kitchenette seemed horribly empty. When I roused myself and picked up the flat and rescued my peeping poor tweetybird, I put a blender there. It was made out of printed parts, so it would only last a month before I'd need to print new bearings and other moving parts. Back then, I could take apart and reassemble anything that could be printed.
By the time I turned eighteen, they were ready to let Da out of prison. I'd visited him three times—on my tenth birthday, on his fiftieth, and when Ma died. It had been two years since I'd last seen him and he was in bad shape. A prison fight had left him with a limp, and he looked over his shoulder so often it was like he had a tic. I was embarrassed when the minicab dropped us off in front of the estate, and tried to keep my distance from this ruined, limping skeleton as we went inside and up the stairs.
"Lanie,†he said, as he sat me down. "You're a smart girl, I know that. Trig. You wouldn't know where your old Da could get a printer and some goop?â€
I squeezed my hands into fists so tight my fingernails cut into my palms. I closed my eyes. "You've been in prison for ten years, Da. Ten. Years. You're going to risk another ten years to print out more blenders and pharma, more laptops and designer hats?â€
He grinned. "I'm not stupid, Lanie. I've learned my lesson. There's no hat or laptop that's worth going to jail for. I'm not going to print none of that rubbish, never again.†He had a cup of tea, and he drank it now like it was whisky, a sip and then a long, satisfied exhalation. He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
"Come here, Lanie, let me whisper in your ear. Let me tell you the thing that I decided while I spent ten years in lockup. Come here and listen to your stupid Da.â€
I felt a guilty pang about ticking him off. He was off his rocker, that much was clear. God knew what he went through in prison. "What, Da?†I said, leaning in close.
"Lanie, I'm going to print more printers. Lots more printers. One for everyone. That's worth going to jail for. That's worth anything.â€

Senate could still eye Medicare cuts to fund extension of unemployment benefits
Calling it a "dangerous precedent," the AHA is urging senators to reject a proposal to extend the sequestration for mandatory spending – including Medicare spending – through 2024 to pay for an extension of unemployment benefits. The Senate could take up the proposal next week.The AHA said it strongly opposes using Medicare reductions to pay for non-Medicare related spending."If hospitals don't act now to let their federal legislators know that it's completely unacceptable, they will think this is OK with you," AHA President and CEO Rich Umbdenstock said in a recent message to the field. "Please get in touch with them and register your outrage at any proposal to use Medicare funding to fund other programs."The Senate earlier this month rejected a motion to vote on the proposal. But another vote could occur this week as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, continues to look for ways to offset the cost of extending unemployment benefits, which expired Dec. 28.In a Jan. 13 letter, the AHA and seven other national hospital organizations urged senators to reject the measure."While we do not oppose the extension of these benefits, we do oppose using Medicare reductions to pay for non-Medicare related spending," the groups wrote. "Medicare is meant to assure seniors access to needed medical care, not serve as a piggybank for other programs. It is bad policy to further extend Medicare sequester cuts that could undermine care for seniors."The groups noted that hospitals already face $113 billion in cuts that have been imposed over the past three years at a "time of enormous change and challenges."On that point, the AHA last week released a chart that shows the 10-year impact of legislative and regulatory actions on hospital payments since 2010, excluding cuts included in the "Affordable Care Act." (See the chart on page 3).For more on the hospital groups' letter, click on: http://tinyurl.com/lqmzumy. The debate over extending unemployment benefits – and whether to use Medicare funds to do it – is the first of three fiscal flashpoints that have implications for hospitals during the first quarter of 2014.The second flashpoint, the federal debt limit, is expected to expire in early February, although the Treasury Department says it can use so-called "extraordinary measures" to allow the government to continuing borrowing possibly into March. The third flashpoint is March 31, when the short-term physician payment fix and several Medicare "extender" provisions expire – setting the stage for new Medicare legislation. Congressional health care leaders also have drafted similar pieces of bipartisan legislation that would repeal and replace the Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate or SGR formula for annual physician payment updates. While the Congressional Budget Office estimates that replacing the SGR will cost at least $116 billion over10 years, none of the bills specify the offsets needed as a funding source. With hospital funding at risk in the weeks and months ahead, the AHA recently sent hospital leaders its legislative advocacy agenda. It lays out the AHA's biggest concerns and priority issues in managing the three flashpoints. The agenda seeks to protect hospital payments – always at risk for cuts as an offset to legislation restoring Medicare payments to physicians; provide relief from excessive and harmful policies, like the two midnight policy; and support rural health care by extending Medicare payment policies set to expire March 31. These include the Medicare-dependent hospital program, the low-volume adjustment and ambulance addon payments. For more on the agenda, click on: http://tinyurl.com/p3lplzr. To help amplify its message to Congress, the AHA is scheduling a series of Advocacy Day briefings. They kick off Jan. 28, with a briefing centered on the "two midnight" policy for hospital admission and review criteria. The meeting is designed to build congressional support for the "Two Midnight Rule Delay Act," H.R. 3698, which would delay the policy until Oct. 1. The policy is slated to take effect in April. For more on the Advocacy Day meetings, visit www.aha. org. And hear more about the AHA's legislative advocacy agenda by listening to the audio podcast on the right. Meanwhile, the association last week released a factsheet that show Medicare and Medicaid underpayments to U.S. hospitals reached $56 billion in 2012. Based on data from the AHA's Annual Survey of Hospitals, Medicare reimbursed just 86 cents and Medicaid 89 cents for every dollar hospitals spent caring for these patients in 2012. The AHA defined an underpayment as the difference between costs incurred and reimbursement received for delivering care to patients. Costs included personnel, technology and "other goods and services." Of the $56 billion in underpayments, Medicare represented $42.3 billion, and Medicaid was $13.7 billion.
