1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to vascular prostheses that contain hormone-producing cells in microcapsule form.
2. Description of Related Art
Microcapsules consisting of saccharide, amino-acid polymers and other materials, such as agarose polymers, are already known and are apt to contain living hormone-producing cells.
Microcapsules with the above-mentioned features are manufactured and marketed by Damon Biotech of Boston under the name of Encapcell, and also by other laboratories.
These microcapsules allow for the protection of the cells contained the microcapsules against a possible rejection phenomena, while allowing the metabolic activity of the cells to continue and permit the leaking out of the hormones secreted by the cells. However, the introduction of such microcapsules in the body brings about some problems, among which the following should be emphasized:
1) the microcapsules introduced in the body are wrapped in a reactive connective tissue, which prevents both the metabolic supply to the cells and the leaking out of the secreted hormones;
2) the microcapsules, if injected into a cavity such as the peritoneal cavity, tend to move downwards and concentrate in a limited area, thus causing a lively connective reaction involving them.
The problems of the prior technique can be solved through the use of a vascular prosthesis of a low porosity material, such as PTFE inside of which is another prosthesis 3 of a synthetic tubular mesh is used which allows for oxygen and hormones to pass through. Microcapsules of semi-permeable materials, such as; polysaccharides and amino-acid polymers that contain the hormone-producing cells, are placed between the two prostheses. The preparation of the vascular prosthesis involves the following steps:
a) Inside of a vascular prosthesis a low posity mesh such as PTFE a second prosthesis is placed, made of a synthetic tubular mesh with external support (EXS),
b) the microcapsules which consist of, for example, saccharide or amino-acid polymers and contain the hormone-producing cells are placed in the space between the two prosthesis,
c) a spindle of a plastic material is then introduced into the interior of the prosthesis.
Prostheses according to the present invention are used to create artervenous fistulas.
The characteristics and advantages of the vascular prostheses and the relative preparation process, according to the present invention, will be dealt with in greater detail in the following description, also referring to the enclosed FIG. 1.
FIG. 1 represents schematically the prosthesis according to the present invention. With reference to the symbols of said figure, microcapsules 2, containing the hormone-producing cells, are placed between a prosthesis 1 of PTFE or of a low porosity material and a prosthesis 3 of a synthetic tubular mesh, and in said prosthesis 3 a plastic material spindle 4 is introduced.
The tubular mesh is preferably made of polyester or polytetrafluoroethylene fibres (for example, Dacron or Teflon fibres) and has an internal diameter of between 4 and 14 mm with an external support (EXS).
The empty spaces between the filaments making up such mesh are between 10 and 300 micron, such that the microcapsules are retained.
The microcapsules are made of saccharide and amino-acid polymers or other semi-permeable material with a porosity of about 60.000 Dalton. This allows for the transfer of the metabolic products from the inside to the outside and viceversa, but not the passage of the immunoglobulins or other high molecular weight molecules.
The spindle is preferably made of silastic or PVC and has an external diameter compatible with the internal diameter of prosthesis 3. The spindle transforms the space between prosthesis 1 and prosthesis 3, in which the microcapsules 2 will be placed, into a virtual space. The prosthesis according to the present invention is implanted, after extraction of the spindle into the recipient through an artero-venous fistula.
A vascular prosthesis is thus obtained; consisting inside of a synthetic tubular mesh that retains the microcapsules, which are in practice exposed to the hematic flow and which is covered by an endothelium-like tissue.
In such vascular prosthesis the hematic flow allows for the metabolism of the cells contained in the microcapsules to exist, and at the same time it also allows for the circulation of the hormones secreted by the cells themselves.
A particularly useful application is possible when the microcapsules contain Langherans islands cells which secrete insulin.

Intoxicating laughter shows up unexpectedly
After a long days hike we sit down for a beer in a lonely village along a dusty road. My friends are quietly exhausted and the Englishmen we befriended are keeping their spirits up by throwing fruit at each other. A cargo truck stops in a plume of dust. I speak in my broken Spanish to the big guy who seems to be in charge, he signals me to talk to the 12 year old kid that accompanied him who is busy taking inventory of cola bottles and candy bars in the open aired shop. After quick negotiations I signal to my party to hop in the back of the truck, everyone is cheering and laughing while avoiding power lines that are closer than we are used to in the States. As we pass by a tour group and I wave to their leader as she smiles and shakes her head in disbelief because she knows she owes me a beer at the next campsite. When I am not winning bets and making deals on South American trails I am out with friends, laughing, exploring and learning as I go. Other times I am quietly reflecting in my hot tub while listening to Spotify. Sometimes I sit still for very long periods of time, this is usually when I am tired. Looking for someone smart and confident to talk to and Hugh Hefner isn't taking my calls after that monkey incident at his last party... If you think we might get along send me a message or wink me and lets chat, if we end up friends I'll consider my investment in this completely successful.

Memphis yesterday won first place in its population category as the cleanest city in the nation. Mrs. B.G. Brown, chairman of the City Beautiful Commission, gave most of the credit to civic pride. "It's all we have. We have no power to force anyone to clean up and it's much better that way." It is the 14th time in 22 years that Memphis has placed first in its population class. The city has also won the Ernest T. Trigg trophy as the cleanest city in the entire nation four times in the 22-year period. "We are the only city that has won the trophy that many times," Mrs. Brown reported.

I find this smooth, organic "bullet" shape to house the moss specimens beautifully; the curved shape magnifies the moss fronds, and lets you see them much more clearly from all angles.
I'm either going to make these into a separate listing, or add them as an option to the pre-existent listings. Probably the former.

Because I Said So: Dream of building a better block is at hand
My family likes to go on walks, hikes and bike rides. Places like the Greater Memphis Greenline and the riverfront make this pretty easy to do. However, going from place to place can be a challenge.
For instance, we can walk to Overton Park from our house in about 10 minutes. Five of those minutes are spent trying to cross six lanes of very heavy traffic on East Parkway near Sam Cooper. There are no crosswalks, and it can be pretty sketchy. It wasn't until my boys got older (they're 6 and 8) that I even considered crossing the street with them.
Commuting is also dangerous. My kids' school is less than a mile away, but to walk or ride bikes there, we have to cross both East Parkway and Summer. The sidewalks are broken and bumpy, and the heavy traffic makes riding bikes in the street too dangerous, especially during morning rush hour. It's scary enough when I'm with them -- I can't imagine ever allowing them to traverse those streets without me.
Enjoying the nearby amenities is nearly impossible. For us to walk or ride bikes to the movies or a restaurant in Overton Square, we have to cross East Parkway and Poplar. Again, two streets that pedestrians and bikers dread. Sadly, sometimes it's easier just to drive, even when the distance is just a mile or two.
There have been some promising signs lately that things won't always be so daunting for those of us who choose to leave the house without thousands of pounds of steel surrounding us. The new bike lanes on Southern, the planned bike lanes in Cooper Young, and the plans to extend the Greenline to the river are all exciting projects.
But I still dream of the day when our neighborhood streets are safe enough to let the kids ride and run around without worrying about cars barreling down the road.
This weekend, we'll get a taste of the future when our neighborhood gets a 31-hour facelift. An event called "A New Face for an Old Broad," Friday 3-10 p.m., and Saturday 8 a.m.-10 p.m., incorporates all of the things I've been dreaming of, and more.
We (neighbors, area businesses, bike enthusiasts, artists and schools) are literally building a better block. Broad Avenue is (temporarily) adding bike lanes, creating pedestrian-friendly streets, and even erecting a skatepark. Stores, food carts, and live performances will be popping up all along the block. Activities just for families also fill the bill.
At 10 a.m. Saturday morning, a decoration station opens for the 11 a.m. Biker Babes' Parade. Kids and kids-at-heart are invited to bring their bikes, spruce them up, and parade down Broad.
By pulling together to make Broad Avenue a street for people, and not just cars, we hope to show the possibilities for permanent improvements in our neighborhood and yours. Come out and experience it!

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Redd plays, Bucks lead
Charlotte – The Bucks led the Charlotte Bobcats, 46-45, at halftime here Monday night.
Bucks guard Michael Redd made his long-awaited return to game action and it didn't take coach Scott Skiles long to get him on the court as Redd entered with 9 minutes 54 seconds left in the first quarter and Milwaukee trailing, 5-2. It was the first time that Redd, coming back from a major knee injury, had played in over 14 months.
Redd departed with 1:30 left in the quarter and the Bucks trailing, 23-22. Redd missed his only shot but had four assists.
The Bobcats led after a closely contested first quarter, 27-26. Bucks center Andrew Bogut dominated inside against the under-sized Bobcats, making 9 of 11 shots and scoring 18 points. Charlotte made 11 of 17 shots (64.7%).
Bucks forward Drew Gooden, who had not played since late January because of a left foot injury, also returned to action as Skiles started him in the second quarter.
Gooden left with 6:45 left and Charlotte leading, 34-29. He missed all four of his shots and had three rebounds.
The Bobcats scored 10 straight points to take a 37-29 lead midway through the second quarter, but the Bucks later scored seven straight to cut the lead to 41-40. A dunk by Larry Sanders with nine seconds left gave the Bucks their one-point halftime lead.
Gooden returned to play the final 2:21 of the quarter.

CSU mulls pay raises for 3 new presidents despite budget troubles
At the same time the California State University Board of Trustees is discussing a possible tuition increase and across-the-board pay cuts, it will also consider pay raises for three new campus presidents using foundation funds.
Under compensation proposals [PDF] the board will take up Tuesday, new CSU Northridge President Dianne Harrison and newly appointed CSU San Bernardino President Tomás Morales would receive 10 percent more in pay than their predecessors - the maximum amount allowable under the university's newest executive compensation policy approved in May.
A third college leader, new San Francisco State University President Leslie Wong, would receive 9 percent more than his predecessor.
The CSU trustees have been heavily criticized for their executive compensation policies since last summer, when San Diego State University President Elliot Hirshman got a pay package totaling $100,000 more than the previous president.
Since then, the trustees have made some changes to the policies. Most recently, in May, the board approved a policy that would freeze the amount of new presidents' base pay from public funds, keeping it at the same level as the previous president's salary until 2014.
But the policy left room for CSU to pump up new presidents' pay by up to 10 percent of the base using foundation funds. Harrison and Morales would get the full 10 percent available, while Wong would come very close.
Wei Ming Dariotis, associate professor of Asian American Studies at San Francisco State University and president of that university's chapter of the California Faculty Association, said that while she's very optimistic about Wong as a leader, the pay raise feels like a "slap in the face."
"As a public institution, I would think that we would be looking at folks who define the value of their work not by how well they are compensated but by the good they're able to do through the kind of institution they are serving," Dariotis said.
CSU spokesman Michael Uhlenkamp said the executive compensation policy allows the university to recruit competitively while also being mindful of the economic situation.
"We do have to recruit from a national pool for the best and brightest not only in presidents, but in faculty and in staff," Uhlenkamp said. "Regardless of whether your salary's frozen, and there's a supplement that increases your salary, these individuals are being paid less than what they would make on the market outside the state of California or not working for the CSU."
The compensation proposals come as the trustees are talking about what they might cut if voters do not enact Gov. Jerry Brown's tax initiative in November. If the initiative fails, it would trigger a new $250 million cut for CSU.
According to Tuesday's agenda [PDF] , the trigger cut could lead the university to raise tuition by 5 percent midyear and cut pay and benefits across the system by 2.5 percent.
It could also lead the university to enact new fees, including charging students more for every extra class they take above 16 units per semester; fees for taking the same course more than twice; and a "graduation incentive" fee on so-called super seniors, students who have earned five years or more of academic credit on the state's dime.

Nucleosynthesis and era of nuclei • From 0.001 seconds until 3 minutes universe underwent fusion – 75% of baryonic matter became 1H – 25% became heavier H isotopes, He, and Li. • Era of Nuclei – for next 500,000 years universe cooled until galaxies could form. – Era is observed today in the form of Cosmic Background radiation 3 K Background Radiation • Echoes of the era of the nuclei are seen as a 3 K blackbody background curve • This was first seen as "noise" by a microwave antenna by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson at Bell Labs. • Princeton scientists recognized this as redshifted light from the Big Bang. • Penzias and Wilson won the Nobel Prize in 1978 for this discovery. 3 K Background Radiation • This is light from when the universe was 500,000 years old – It forms a perfectly uniform blackbody curve from a temp of 2.7 K which was 3,000 K when it was created but longer due to redshift. • The spectrum was measured with great precision by the COBE (Cosmic Background Explorer) satellite in the 1990's. • It found that the cosmic background was extremely uniform in direction but it did have inhomogeneties in it. – These inhomogeneties are fluxuations of 0.002 K to 2.7 Background – These measurements are evidence of inflation (later) Cause of CBR • This is light from the synthesis of He • Happened as universe cooled from 1011 K to 1010 K. • after about 1 minute Evidence for Big Bang • Galactic redshift (universe is expanding) • Cosmic Background radiation • Observation of Helium which agree with the standard Big Bang model. • Obler's paradox (1800's)- why is night sky dark?

Inflation • Theory was created in 1980's by Alan Gurth • Basic Idea: Universe underwent tremendous growth (1030 times its original size) during the time when the Strong force was "frozen out" from GUT. • Quantum fluxuations caused the negative pressure which forced this rapid expansion. • These fluxuations are what we see as inhomogeneties in COBE's measurements of CBR.

Gilbert Gottfried Dresses as Madeline, Burns Aflac on 'Tonight Show' (VIDEO)
by Jason Hughes, posted Mar 25th 2011 3:07AM
'The Tonight Show' (Weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC) reached into our childhoods and across the ocean to score an interview with popular children's character Madeline. Oddly, she looked and sounded a lot like Gilbert Gottfried in a Madeline costume.
Leno asked
him her about proper dating etiquette, after which Gottfried Madeline detailed a list of things the man should do on a date, including getting the door, bringing flowers and picking up the check.
"If the man does all those things, the polite thing for the woman to do is to bang him,"
he she concluded.

'Burn Notice' - 'Devil You Know' Recap (Season Finale)
by Allison Waldman, posted Mar 5th 2010 1:57AM
(S03E16) If you wonder where the excitement is in entertainment, you're probably not watching 'Burn Notice.' However, if you're reading this review, you probably are a watcher and you have just gorged yourself on what was mostly called a season finale.
In some ways, it was a typical 'Burn Notice' finale, leaving Michael in a seemingly puzzling situation. This was ranked up there with one of the more intriguing ones. It was everything creator Matt Nix promised it would be. More on that, the client named Simon, and how to hot-wire a jet ski after the jump.
'Burn Notice' - 'Good Intentions' Recap
by Allison Waldman, posted Feb 26th 2010 3:21AM
(S03E15) Every now and then, it's fun to watch what happens when Michael or Sam or Fiona don't have the upper hand in a situation. This penultimate episode of the season was one of those with lots of flying by the seat of their pants and taking a walk on the wild side ... whether they wanted to or not.
'Burn Notice' - 'Partners In Crime' Recap
by Allison Waldman, posted Feb 12th 2010 1:38AM
(S03E13) 'Burn Notice' is generally more serious dealing with spy business than a show like 'Chuck', which is more playful. There's more blood on 'Burn Notice,' and the killing is not done to popular music. Both shows are fun, but for a tougher brand of espionage, 'Burn Notice' is the way to go.
This was one of the better 'Burn Notice' episodes because it put Michael somewhere he hasn't been in a while -- a very vulnerable position. And Larry was back. You remember Larry, played with menacing lunacy by Tim Matheson? More on Larry, the Colombian cartel, Jack Fleetwood and -- oh yeah -- Michael's brother, too, after the jump.
Review: 'Burn Notice' - 'Noble Causes'
by Allison Waldman, posted Feb 5th 2010 12:45AM
(S03E12) Does Michael Weston work and play well with others? Umm, not really. He prefers being at the controls and calling the shots. Have you noticed that with Fiona and Sam, Michael is usually the de facto lead? And remember how he disliked working for Carla? Hence this relationship with Gilroy is problematic to say the least. This week was an example of just how difficult it's likely to be.
Review: Burn Notice - Friendly Fire
by Allison Waldman, posted Jan 29th 2010 2:05AM
(S03E11) For a nice change of pace, Burn Notice played up the local color. Lots of Little Dominica (not Little Havana) and action, including multiple explosions, a little face-forward repelling and a new somewhat mystical character for Michael to play. No Southern boy this week. No tank tops or muscle shirts. Nope. Michael was looking like Mr. Applegate, the devil in the musical Damn Yankees.
Burn Notice: Long Way Back (summer finale)
by Allison Waldman, posted Aug 7th 2009 1:43AM
(S03E09) Wow! Talk about a powerful finale. There were a lot of plot points and emotional issues addressed, and if you had any question about Michael's true loyalty, this show answered it. Burn Notice goes on hiatus -- is that what they call it? -- till the winter, and it's going to be a long rest of the summer and fall waiting for the story to resume. There was change in the air, what with Michael inching closer to a return to the CIA -- or so it seemed. More on all that and the blistering finale after the jump.
Burn Notice: Question and Answer
by Allison Waldman, posted Jun 12th 2009 9:40AM
(S03E02) I love Sam Axe, which is another way of saying Bruce Campbell makes watching Burn Notice a pleasure. Especially an episode like this one that was all about the chemistry between Sam and Mike when working undercover on a case with a nut job criminal intent on leaving Michael swimming in a pool of his own blood.
It's not just Sam that keeps me coming back for more from this show, or the tense but compelling subtext between Fiona and Michael's "is it love?" relationship. By and large, Burn Notice is smart TV. It shows me scenes I haven't seen before on other shows or on the big screen. More on the specifics after the jump, so if you don't want to know because you haven't watched yet, be warned.

Today the park is cherished by thousands who find its serene beauty a refreshing escape. Whether hiking in the holly groves, jogging by the squirrelly oaks, climbing glacial rocks, walking your dog under the cathedral of old pines, horseback riding, birding, or just plain relaxing, it is truly food for the soul. A public treasure, it is a special and relatively untouched piece of ancient "Quonahassit." Enjoying the area, as the Native Americans did 1,000 years ago, has been made possible by the investment of the town and the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs' Self-Help Program.

Alertus Desktop Alert, emergency notification software, is being installed on all faculty and staff computers as well as classroom and lab computers. In the event of an emergency, the Alertus Desktop Alert will send safety messages to all campus computers instantaneously: a full-screen alert will open on active campus-owned computers.
Used in conjunction with the university's current emergency messaging outlets (Safety Alert System, university website, electronic marquees and social media), Alertus will be used to notify the campus of issues affecting safety, health or well-being such as a campus fire, building evacuation, etc. Campus emergency notifications are sent via the Office of Public Affairs. No personal information is gathered or transmitted.
For PC users, the Alertus icon will be located on the right-side of your taskbar (at the bottom).
For Mac users, the Alertus icon will be located on the right-side of your menu bar (at the top).
A yellow Alertus icon in your task/menu bar means that the Alertus desktop agent is in communication with the Alertus desktop notification server and can receive emergency alerts.
A red Alertus icon in your task/menu bar means that the Alertus desktop agent is installed on your computer but is not in contact with the Alertus desktop notification server. Your computer will NOT receive emergency alerts at this time. However, when you computer is connected, either on-campus or via VPN off-campus, the icon will change to yellow and will receive emergency notifications.
If you don't see an Alertus icon in your task/menu bar at all that means that the Alertus agent is NOT installed on your computer and you will not receive emergency desktop alerts at all. To get the Alertus agent installed, submit an IT Service Desk ticket (you will need to know your BroncoName and BroncoPassword). If you can't log a ticket, use the Help Request Form or stop by the IT Service Desk in Building 1, Room 100.

NIST unveiled a new laboratory designed to demonstrate that a typical-looking suburban home for a family of four can generate as much energy as it uses in a year. Following an initial year-long experiment, the facility will be used to improve test methods for energy-efficient technologies and develop cost-effective design standards for energy-efficient homes that could reduce overall energy consumption and harmful pollution, and save families money on their monthly utility bills.
Two-faced materials boost hydrogen productionSeptember 12, 2012 9:48 am | News | Comments
Though costly to produce, hydrogen is crucial for the oil-refining industry and the production of essential chemicals such as the ammonia used in fertilizers. The recent invention of a new photocatalyst may help the efficiency of this process. Nanometer-scale "Janus" structures consisting of cheap metal and oxide spheres were recently demonstrated as an excellent catalyst for a hydrogen-production reaction powered only by sunlight.

This post originally appeared on CraftsUnleashed while I was a design team member there. But now it's time for you to have the crafty goodness here! All supplies were from ConsumerCrafts.com.
You'll need:
- Gold Memory wire bracelets. (Each coil will make 2 napkin rings.)
- Memory Wire Shears
- Looping Pliers
- Assorted glass beads: I used the brown/beige/gold and some loose orange beads
- Green "Leaf" beads
- Gold 10 MM jump rings
I used Memory Wire bracelets because I had them in my jewelry-making stash- but you also could any gold craft wire that's 18 or 22 gauge.
Start off by cutting your Memory Wire coils. You need 2 "loops" for each ring. Separate the wire and cut with the wire cutters. Trust me, this wire is STRONG and it will KILL your scissors. Ask me how I know.
Next, using your pliers, form a small loop at one end of the wire. It'll keep the beads from falling off and make a nice place to hang some dangles.
Now, start stringing your beads. I went kind of random- a 3-5 beads, then a cluster of 2 leaf beads, all the way around. You can make a pattern if you like, or keep it serendipitous. You can even get your kids to help.
Wait! I just had a brainstorm! This would actually be a fun craft activity to keep the kids (or teens or Aunt Lou) busy while they're waiting for the dinner. Then they could take it home to wear or re-gift to teachers, etc.
Ok, on with the craft. Once you get it all strung up, simply make another loop at the open end.
To make a dangle, string 3-5 leaf beads on a jump ring, then thread the ring through a loop, and close.
So there it is- quick, festive, and a two-fer! Enjoy!

Actress Shilpa Shetty is so much impressed with Harman Baweja's performance as gangster Vicky Kartoos in "Dishkiyaoon" that she sees the film as Harman's first film and feels the actor has not been tapped to his true potential as an actor.
"For me 'Dishkiyaaoon' is Harman's first film, really. After this film, you are surely going to like him," Shilpa said here Wednesday at the launch of a song from the film.
"I really feel that he has not been tapped of his true potential. He is a very hard working boy. He has worked really hard over his character of Vicky Kartoos in the film," she added.
Harman made his acting debut in 2008 with "Love Story 2050". Later, he was seen in the films "Victory", "What's Your Raashee?" and recently in "Gori Tere Pyaar Mein", where he did a cameo.
However, now Shilpa feels the audience would not only love the film but also Harman, who has done a fantastic work in the film.
"He (Harman Baweja) deserves to get your (audience) love. I hope this film becomes a hit and I wish he gets all the love from the audience," Shilpa said.
Slated to release March 28, "Dishkiyaoon" is an action thriller. Directed by debutant Sanamjit Singh Talwar, the film also features actor Sunny Deol and newcomer Ayesha Khanna.

Centuries ago, in the year 2004, Beyoncé, Britney Spears, and Pink were in a Pepsi commercial about women gladiators.
It's quite possibly the most epic Pepsi commercial ever featuring female gladiators singing "We Will Rock You," yet somehow you forgot it existed.
Here are three things we'd like to quickly point out that definitively prove this ad was created ten years ago:
1. Beyoncé takes a backseat to Britney.
If this commercial were remade today, there's no way Beyoncé would be jumping in on the second verse—she'd be the lead.
2. Everyone's frosted lip gloss.
3. Enrique Iglesias as the tyrannical emperor of the Pepsi Kingdom.
Never forget again…or Enrique Iglesias will execute you!

Angelique Mcfadden12/20/145 Stars - I just passed my driving exam on my first try. A Affordable Driving School Inc is very nice and patient. She gives clear instructions and prepares you very well for the driving exam. I wasn't great at parallel parking, and she showed me an easy way to parallel park for the exam. I would highly recommend her driving school.Momof 211/14/145 Stars - Thank goodness I took this course. I did a 2-hour refresher with Ryan before taking a driving test (I have a license from another country). Even though I felt reasonably confident about my driving before, when I walked into the DMV to take the test, I realized I was a more confident, more able driver due to Ryan's class. He is clearly used to teaching driving in a way that is easy to remember on the road, and found a way to work driving facts into conversation, so that when I was taking the knowledge test afterwards, I kept thinking, "that's right, Ryan said that." I think it made the difference - I passed easily. The office for this business is modest but the actual classes have everything you need. And unlike the other schools I called, Affordable returned my calls promptly, and all the staff went out of their way to accommodate me on several occasions. These are nice, down-to-earth people who know what they're doing.Adam D06/24/145 Stars - Just finished the classroom/behind-the-wheel course and it was by far one of my best educational experiences! Ryan and Kevin are both exceptionally talented teachers and both do an absolutely stellar job of keeping the tone laid back and casual without sacrificing the educational side. Both instructors make a point of answering any and all questions and making sure that students are absorbing and understanding the information presented. Definitely going to recommend to my friends.Ron Dein04/07/145 Stars - The 6 hour driving course was a blast. If you're a brand new driver in need of some practice, or a veteran in need of a refresher I highly recommend Affordable Driving School. All in all it was an incredibly positive experience. Please consider this school as your first choice.Brandon Gray01/20/145 Stars - Ryan the instructor was very informative and helpful, as were the videos. I took the Saturday course, which runs from 8am-4pm, but the time actually went by pretty quickly. I highly recommend it for anyone who has to take a driver improvement course, whether voluntarily or by court order.

NSA working to undermine the last ten years of encryption
Demonstrators hold placards featuring an image of former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden as they take part in a protest against the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) collecting German emails, online chats and phone calls and sharing some of it with the country's intelligence services in Berlin on July 27, 2013.
Last week's investigative piece by the New York Times, ProPublica, and the Guardian showed that the NSA was not only conducting surveillance, but also working to undermine the last ten years of encryption online. Chester Wisniewski, senior advisor at the cyber security firm Sophos, joins Marketplace Morning Report host David Brancaccio to discuss.

For Kayla Coley and Ciara Leonard, Saturday afternoon at Plymouth Whitemarsh must have felt just like practice.
There was Coley, Cheltenham's Texas Tech-bound hurdler, capturing the 100-meter girls' hurdles at the Suburban One American Conference Championships. And near her side, just two-tenths of a second behind, was sophomore teammate Leonard.
"We put them next to each other every day on the hurdling drills," coach Kelly Jensen said. "They work tremendously together and are competitive, but collegial."
The two helped the Panthers capture their fourth straight girls' team title, and the Cheltenham boys' team won its first crown since 1996.
Coley finished in 13.78 seconds, surpassing Ryann Krais of Methacton's 2008 meet record by two-tenths of a second. Leonard tied the mark of Krais, who now runs at Kansas State.
