FIRST ANNUAL AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF CALIFORNIA'S STEM CELL AGENCY IS COMPLETED Copy of the Report Available on CIRM Web Site
SAN FRANCISCO, June 21, 2006 – The first annual audit of the financial statements of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) reported that they "present fairly, in all material aspects, the financial position of CIRM" from the time of its inception on November 4, 2004 to June 30, 2005.
"We are very pleased with the audit report. It is a positive indication that CIRM operates within the common practices of other state agencies," said Walter Barnes, Chief Administrative Officer for the CIRM.
Proposition 71 requires that CIRM commission an annual audit of its financial statements by an independent certified public accounting firm which is sent to the State Controller for review. Proposition 71 also requires that the audit and the review reports be presented to the Financial Accountability and Oversight Commission (FAOC) for an additional review and issuance of a final report with recommendations for improving CIRM's financial practices and performance.
The Sacramento-based public accounting firm Gilbert Associates, Inc. (Gilbert) was competitively selected to conduct CIRM's audit. Gilbert audited CIRM's assets, liabilities, fund balance, revenues and expenditures for the period from inception to June 30, 2005. Gilbert examined CIRM's accounting practices and internal controls and tested for compliance with any legal requirements regarding the use of the two sources of funds available to CIRM during this period—a $3 million start up loan from the state's general fund and a $5 million grant from the Dolby Family Foundation. The audit also noted that CIRM received additional revenue in the form of nearly $85,000 in temporary office space provided free of charge by Wareham Development in Emeryville.
Gilbert also issued a separate management letter that contains recommendations to improve future financial operations and CIRM has already agreed to implement them.
Copies of the Gilbert Audit Report, management letter and the review report may be seen at: www.cirm.ca.gov.
Governed by the ICOC, CIRM was established in 2004 with the passage of Proposition 71, the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Act. The statewide ballot measure, which provided $3 billion in funding for stem cell research at California universities and research institutions, was approved by California voters, and called for the establishment of an entity to make grants and provide loans for stem cell research, research facilities, and other vital research opportunities.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Michael Dunn, the man accused of murdering Jordan Davis, 17, was back in court for two hearings Tuesday.
Dunn asked again to be declared indigent, and that request was denied. This request was also denied in May. He also requested bond and that request was also denied, as it was in March.
Judge Russell Healey is the third judge to oversee this case.
Dunn is charged with first degree murder and wanted the court to declare him indigent, which means he claims he does not have enough money to pay for a legal defense.
If the court had granted his request, Dunn's defense would have fallen onto taxpayers by way of a public defender.
First Coast News previously reported Dunn's parents were paying $7,500 a month for their son's legal expenses.
Dunn also previously said his only asset was a vehicle that is now in police custody.
It is unclear what has happened that has caused Dunn to need to be declared indigent. He previously sought such a declaration, which was denied by the case's first judge, Suzanne Bass.
Dunn's defense attorney at the time argued he could not receive a fair trial with Bass on the bench. She then recused herself.
Judge Mallory Cooper was then assigned to the case before she too recused herself this month. No reason was given.
State Attorney Angela Corey has said she will personally prosecute the Dunn case.
Authorities say Dunn fatally shot Davis at a Southside gas station last November after an argument over loud music.
The public defender's office would not release a dollar amount to First Coast News about how much Dunn's defense would cost if he were declared indigent.
However, the office said every case is different, especially when dealing with a high-profile murder case.
Meanwhile, the attorney for Davis' family released a statement to First Coast News.
John Phillips said it is important moving forward to minimize any comparisons to the Trayvon Martin case.
Here is part of the statement:
"Until further notice, we are no longer doing press conferences or phone interviews on anything related to Jordan's cases. We will review and consider any and all proposals for "warm extended conversations" about the family, the case and other matters of public interest. These will be largely sit-down interviews, not sound bytes. As we approach trial, we have a strong interest in uniting this city, state and country, letting them all know about this wonderful family and its terrible loss and have learned from the cold and forced messages of other suits. The same requests will apply to all forms of media and are to go through me until completion of criminal trial. We want a fair trial and were all shaken by the events in Sanford."

text: Hello all. My brother and I are from Washington and we bought our non resident deer,elk combo tags the other day on the 18th because we did not draw just the deer tags that we origonaly put in for. we have decided to try and hunt elk in Montana this year and was told that we should put in for some limited archery elk permits while we were at it and if nothing else just start building some points if we did not draw. I have ben doing a little research and from what I have picked up is that the Missouri River Breaks area has some good hunting. If we dont draw a permit, what other areas in the state in your opinion would be a good general season to look at. Not looking for honey holes or monster bulls, just a decent hunt with the chance at a decent bull. 300 to me is a decent bull. Any advice would be greatly appreaciated.

Cook-off at BC-U in Daytona Beach a spicy affair
Published: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 19, 2013 at 2:40 p.m.
Ana Randolph showed up at the University of Central Florida Business Incubator in Daytona Beach last year with what site manager Connie Bernal came to recognize as "a bag full of memories."
It contained a seasoning blend, the recipe for which was confided to Randolph by her father, Abraham Rosa, before she left Puerto Rico decades ago. The DeLand resident approached the incubator, housed at Daytona Beach International Airport, for help to start a business. The rub was a secret ingredient in the 34-year success of a cafeteria and catering house her father founded on the island in 1956. Randolph wanted to package and market the seasoning — much as Rosa had done from his homeland from 1981 until he perished in a boating accident in 1990.
"She said, 'Connie, I want to make this happen because I promised him he would be alive again,'" Bernal recalled at the podium last week, during the public launch of Abraham Rosa Seasonings.
The event took place Thursday at Bethune-Cookman University, in a conference room of the business building. As Bernal and others spoke, a live video feed played on a screen behind them. It showed the action taking place in the adjacent teaching kitchen for the university's hospitality management program — the final minutes of daylong cook-off by students who developed recipes using the seasoning blend. Eleven students participated in the contest, six of them cooking seafood dishes in the morning and five of them finishing up their chicken dishes as the ceremony got underway.
Breanna McCloud, a freshman from Tampa still in her kitchen uniform from the morning session, snapped into full hospitality mode when she noticed the crowd in the room was overtaking the number of seats. She and another student pulled more chairs from a closet and quickly yet expertly slipcovered them in shiny gold fabric. She was there to hear whether the Peach-glazed Salmon she created was a winner.
It turns out she took first place and a $500 prize in the seafood category. Second place for seafood, $300, went to Olivia Pringle for an Under the Sea Gumbo and third, $150 went to Keyana Evans for a tilapia dish called Pina Colada Under the Sea. First, second and third for chicken, respectively, with the same payouts as the seafood division, went to: Antonio Clark for Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta; Jaron Williams for a recipe for chicken breasts, On a Nice Autumn Day; and Chinatsu Kajiwara for Chicken Thigh Herb Grill. The students' recipes will be posted on abrahamrosaseasonings.com.
Randolph said she engaged the university in the launch because her father valued education. Though he, born in 1921, only made it through second grade before having to go to work, he made sure all five of his children went to college.
"I know he is smiling," she said.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan State University says Henry Blosser, a pioneering nuclear physicist and founding director of its cyclotron facility, has died. He was 85. The East Lansing university says Blosser died March 20 in a Lansing hospital.
Blosser joined the university in 1958 and oversaw creation of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. University President Lou Anna Simon said in a release that he "left an indelible mark on the field" of nuclear physics and helped launch one of the leading research facilities of its kind.
A cyclotron is a machine that hurls atoms against each other at a rate of 100,000 miles per second. The speed allows scientists to separate the nuclei of the atoms and study their properties.
Memorial services are scheduled for April 19 at the university's Alumni Chapel.

Slacker mentioned his ex wife would sleep over at his house and eventually started bringing stuff over every week. She had just signed a lease at her own place so she started to purposly leave things around the house to force her actual roommate to break the lease, so she could live with him.
A man in Mesa, Arizona was arrested after he allegedly went after his roommate with a sledgehammer.
The victim called 911 and said that he was trying to break up an argument between his roommate and his brother when the suspect began smashing the bedroom door with the sledgehammer.
The 911 operator also heard him threatening to kill the victim, but officers showed up and helped the man and his dog to climb through a window to safety.
The SWAT team was called when the suspect refused to come out, but he was eventually arrested.

The park like setting includes native trees, bushes and flowers of Patagonia's unique species.
Lodge Amenities

Gather in the main lodge which is the family home. Here guests can lounge in front of the fireplace reading books from the library. Meals are served at one of the two dining tables, each providing seating for ten. Guests are always welcome in the classically beautiful Patagonian kitchen, the most important place in Mallin Colorado and where many of the guests have felt most at home.
The lodge provides the perfect location for exploration of the pristine Chilean Patagonia surroundings. Situated not only with excellent views of the lake and mountains, it also holds claim to 500 hectares of native forest land. More than 15 kms of carefully created walking and trekking trails have been installed on the property.

Guests are consistently surprised and delighted to be treated to such excellent cuisine while simultaneously being surrounded by the splendors of the remote virgin natural setting. A menu is posted daily for all the guests and the ecolodge prides themselves on their delicious and diverse recipes.
Some evenings guests will enjoy a meal in the Quincho, a gathering space built around a fire pit with a wind screen, benches and tables. It is in middle of the park, and provides the central place for all guests to join together for a traditional Patagonian lamb barbecue, which is prepared slowly for five hours.
Mallin Colorado is located in the Region of Aysen on the shores of Lake General Carrera, in Chilean Patagonia, 273 Kms. to the south of Coyhaique on the Austral Highway. The area is scarcely populated and a large portion of the land lies in national parks or protected areas. Here you will find a place with a unique identity and a strong local culture that has been developed little since its discovery at the turn of the 20th century. It is one of the most pristine places on the planet.

In April of this year, I posted in this forum that Beta 2 could not find the desktop server. That post is located here: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/install...tml#post181127.
There were no replies. :(
Thought I'd give Beta 4 a try. It's a no go too. What's interesting to me is, I had installed a version (unknown which build at this date) that did work. But I went back to 1.04, which I'm still using, but probably not much longer. :(
I did a reinstall, same result. No log file is created that I can find.
When I attempt to run Zimbra, the first thing that happens is I get an Unresponsive Script message, saying it may be busy or stopped responding. The script appears to be file:///Applications/Zimbra%20Desktop/macos/prisim/Prism.app/Contents/Resources/modules/WebAppProperties.jsm:184. Hopefully I've typed the info correctly. If I stop the script, I end up with a blank Zimbra window, and the only option is to quit. If I choose Continue, I get the message I couldn't access the Zimbra Desktop Server. The message includes a link to report the error. A link that doesn't work. :( By it doesn't work, it's invalid, if you cut an paste the link into your browser, you get the message from Zimbra Invalid Forum specified. Yada, yada, yada. :-)
Also, the Readme.txt file says the software requirement is for OS X 10.5.9. Since there isn't a 10.5.9 ....... Sheesh, maybe those additional resources I read about today should include a proofreader, as that typo is in earlier readme files also.
If someone from the VM team wants to ask further questions to solve this, please send an email, I won't be back to the forums for troubleshooting. Too many irons in the fire at the moment.
I really liked the look and feel of 1.04, but I've never been able to get the filters to work. :-( And I don't want to be a beta tester, better things to do. :-) So, when I get the desire, I'm going to switch to Mozilla Thunderbird and see if it will do what I want.

Cass and Avondale report mixed truckload and intermodal rates for September
October 16, 2013 - LM Editorial
Truckload and intermodal pricing was flat annually, according to the September edition of the Truckload and Intermodal Cost Indexes from Cass Information Systems and Avondale Partners.
This pricing data is part of the Cass Truckload Linehaul Index and the Cass Intermodal Linehaul Index, which were both created in late 2011. The indices are based on actual freight invoices paid on behalf of Cass clients, which accounts for more than $20 billion annually and uses 2005 as its base month.
Cass and Avondale said the truckload index "isolates" the linehaul component of full truckload costs from other components such as fuel and accessorials, which in turn provides an accurate reflection of trends in baseline truckload prices.
September truckload rates were up 1.7 percent compared to September 2012 and up 2.7 percent compared to August.
The report explained that demand for truckload capacity continues to increase, with mid-single digit pricing growth in recent months and tight capacity intact.
The fact that capacity remains tight is not a huge surprise, given the myriad challenges motor carriers are facing, including: the economy; driver hiring, availability, training and retention; demand; and the increasing amount of regulations the industry faces, among others.
Even with slow economic growth, coupled with the federal government shutdown, capacity availability has been "tight but predictable due to the moderate recovery, but available pockets here and there make it more predictable in helping to find trucks," said Jim Tucker, COO of Tucker Worldwide, a global freight brokerage services provider.
The Cass and Avondale report stated that rates on the intermodal side were down 0.5 percent annually in September and fell 1.2 percent from August.
"Despite record volumes (partially due to mode shift from long-haul truckload), the pricing dynamic in intermodal remains very competitive," the report's authors wrote. "We expect linehaul rates to remain relatively flat in the near term, but do expect fluctuations in diesel to cause 'all-in' pricing to continue to be somewhat volatile."
When the Truckload Line haul Index was first introduced in November 2011, Avondale Partners analyst Donald Broughton explained that the objective of this index was to deliver a more timely barometer of truckload pricing than the one provided by the American Trucking Associations (ATA), which does not fully "remove the effect of diesel in its revenue per mile series," adding that the ATA' revenue per mile series—on both a seasonally-adjusted or non-seasonally adjusted basis—tracks more closely with Cass' Truckload Total Cost (per mile) Index, which is more sensitive to changes in diesel than with Cass' Truckload Line haul (per mile) Index.
He added that whereas the ATA reports truckload pricing roughly 45 days after the end of the month, Cass data is ready to be analyzed three-to-five days after the end of the month.
"The fact that Cass processes $20 billion in freight bills annually is significant," Broughton told LM in an interview. "The biggest concern initially when putting this together was protecting confidential information of Cass' customers, as many of them compete directly with each other and do not want each other to have access to their respective freight spend. Once that was taken care of it is a matter of going through the data and delineating it to strip out accessorial and fuel-related charges."

May 30, 2016
Highway patrol investigators say it's likely that the weather played a big role in two fatal accidents over the past two days.
Shortly after 7:00 a.m. Thursday morning, 31-year-old Daniel Acuna was killed instantly when a tree fell on the vehicle he was driving.
The accident happened about five miles west of Forest on Highway 80. The passenger in the car was critically injured.
Meanwhile, Valerie McMullan, 38, also from Forest, was killed in a two-vehicle accident Wednesday. It happened around 7:00 a.m. on Interstate 20 just west of Newton.
Troopers say the driver of the other vehicle was not injured.

why do not you put it
Because those are already listed in the jutsu infobox, there's no need nor point in listing them twice. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:25, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
2 jutsus
you should also put Sage Art: Great Ball Rasengan and Super Great Ball Rasengan in the list --184.108.40.206 (talk) 17:27, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
- I take it you are talking about the derived jutsu list. That list is only for techniques that are directly derived from the the featured technique. Both the Sage Art: Great Ball Rasengan and the Super Great Ball Rasengan are directly derived from the Great Ball Rasengan. --ShounenSuki (talk | contribs) 18:46, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
oh your right i apologize
can rasengan potentially kill someone or damage them severely? --22.214.171.124 (talk) 06:25, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
Why do you think the jutsu is A-ranked? --(_)LTR/-\ F()RCE 02:27, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps because it was explicitly said so? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 11:44, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
Rasengan variations
why does there need to be a page for all of the different variation of rasengan? they are all basically the same move and most of them only get used a few times and often only in one fight. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 19:55, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
Adding a derived
Shouldn't we add Sage Art: Super Great Ball Rasengan to the derived list? 184.108.40.206 (talk) 16:45, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
- The list only shows up until "grandchild" jutsu, so to speak. That one is further down at the genealogical tree. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:10, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
1 Handed Rasengan should be added to the Trivia.
I stopped watching Naruto Shippuden a long time ago around before Episode 40 was out. now i'm on: Naruto Shippuden Season 2 : Ep. 100|23:14|
and I found Naruto use a 1 handed rasengan in some illusion and almost hit Kiba, but Kakashi held him back.
Three different versions of the same attack
These three should be mentioned in the article. We have Konohamaru's golf-ball sized version; Naruto's, Jiraiya's, and Kakashi's baseball sized version; and Minato's larger volleyball sized version.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 23:10, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
- Konohamru's isn't perfected, Naruto needs help from a clone, and Minato's is just a bit bigger, I don't think that means they are different versions.--Deva 27 (talk) 23:18, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
- Nothing in the manga indicates that Konohamaru's isn't perfected, Deva 27. He combined for rotation and power and made a smaller version of the Rasengan. Naruto doesn't ALWAYS need the help of a clone *again, few times Naruto has done it with one hand*, he just uses it since its faster. And Minato's being bigger also means its more powerful. There are three versions of the technique that we've seen in the manga. Tiny (Konohmaru's), Standard (Naruto's, Kakashi's, and Jiraiya's), and Large (Minato's). --SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 23:24, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
- The boy's a genin with well i'm going to say regular or average chakra for his age (maybe more being a Sarutobi and being able to perform 2 A ranked jutsu in succession and what not). You expected his rasengan to be the size of seasoned users? Two of which were noted to have an immense chakra reserves? There was nothing wrong/weird about his rasengan...--Cerez365 (talk) 01
- 02, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Naruto said he would show Konohamaru how to make it bigger. Again, the manga has shown different versions of the same attack, first Konohamaru's tiny one, the standard one, and then Minato's larger version. --SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 01:07, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
- How to make a bigger one he was more than likey talking about Oodama Rasengan. The manga has shown different versions to the same attack yes but they all used the rasengan so it's the same attack. The size of the rasengan is proportionate to the amount of chakra you can put into it. There was no "difference" in any of the attacks except for that. --Cerez365 (talk) 01:25, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
- The size of the Rasengan also shows how powerful the attack is. The larger the Rasengan, the more powerful it is.--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 01:27, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Except this isn't change like from Rasengan to Chōōdama Rasegan. The difference is barely noticeable. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:51, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

The first time Naruto had a successful rasengan may have been a different version. It was alot more powerful than the one Jiraya used to show Naruto. Can anyone explain? YellowPhoenix (talk) 02:39, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
Obviously Jiraiya wasn't trying to kill the man, and naruto put his all into his.
Underwater Rasengan Formation
In the Land of Tea filler arc during part I, Naruto used shadow clones, each had a Rasengan, and put they're hands in a circle to make a whirlpool. I think that needs to be put as an Anime Only variation Your mine! Fireball Jutsu! (talk) 18:58, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
On the cover of Volume 52, I believe, Rasengan was shown to be white-ish in colour. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 21:58, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Blue Impact???!
Sorry, but I played Ultimate Ninja 3, and there's no way that Naruto formed a Rasengan in his hand while punching the enemy!!! It's just chakra gathered in this hand, not in a spiral sphere. And besides, Naruto needs a CLONE!! And the Green BEast Naruto only uses taijutsu!! Why is such an attack put in the derived jutsu?188.8.131.52 (talk) 10:03, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

I know that. My question was(and is), "Why are they all there?" 184.108.40.206 (talk) 13:21, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
Parent Jutsu?
How is the Menacing Ball it's parent jutsu? It says that the Rasengan was based on the Menacing Ball (and in my perspective) like Iron Sand is based on the One-Tailed Shukaku's automatic sand defense, so wouldn't you have to change that article to reflect that as well? Questionaredude (talk) 00:36, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
- My thoughts exactly. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:05, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
- there is a subtle difference, though. The Rasengan is a specific technique based off another specific technique. Iron Sand is a whole collection of techniques based off the general abilities of a jinchūriki. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 01:08, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
- I still don't think it's enough to call it the Rasengan's parent jutsu. Definitely something for the related jutsu field though. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:16, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
- You're probably right, especially considering we don't know the exact story behind it. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 01:21, December 3, 2010 (UTC)

One-handed Rasengan?
At what point in, Naruto Shippūden Movie 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire, does Naruto create a Rasengan without the aid of his clones? —This unsigned comment was made by Questionaredude (talk • contribs) .
- I think it's when he fights Gaara, though he might have done that when he fights Hiruko as well. It's not exactly one-handed, he uses both hands, but he definitely doesn't use a shadow clone. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:50, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
Ok, thanks. I mis-worded that a bit.Questionaredude (talk) 03:19, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
Trivia about the rasengan's second color
I think that should be noted in the trivia section that, according to the Kishimoto's comments in the second artbook, he has not yet officially decided the color of the rasengan and this is the reason beacuse in many colored illustrations by Kishimoto, the rasengan (and the rasenshuriken) don't presents a color blue but a yellow/orange (and this particular is more evident now that it is also visible on the cover of volume 52).
It's only my supposition but probably this indecision/difference arises from the fact that, in the version of the manga, Naruto tell Jiraya that he feel the color of his chakra to be yellow, when instead the anime version has changed the dialogue replacing the word yellow with blue (and maybe influencing the color of the rasengan if in Kishimoto's point of view, he wanted that its color was equal to that of Naruto's chakra).--JK88 (talk) 12:09, December 9, 2010 (UTC)
Rasengan Inspiration
I have thought of something. How could Minato create Rasengan by observing the tailed beast ball when he only saw it once, at a day of his death. Even if he invented it at the day when he saw the TBB (Which is impossible since he mastered it in 3 years) there's no way he could tell Jiraya about it. Could it be that Minato fought the 9 tails before the incident when fighting Madara? --<<-Rage->> (talk) 20:28, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Who said he didn't see Kushina use it before? She had great control over the fox. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 20:30, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Who said he didn't see any of the other eight tailed beasts use a Tailed Beast Ball? —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 20:33, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
- She had great control, but I don't believe that a person like she would ever fully transform into fox. We also know that Nine tails isn't the guy who would let you transform and use such a jutsu. What I believe is that the Rasengan isn't similar to TBB because Minato observed it, it could be that it is just a coincidence. --<<-Rage->> (talk) 20:35, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Also, by the time of Minato, every tailed beast was sealed as far as I know. --<<-Rage->> (talk) 20:36, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
Were there any Jinjurickis that could totally control their beasts at the time? Sure, Killer Bee could be one, but I highly doubt. --<<-Rage->> (talk) 20:40, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
- Killer B, Yagura, possibly Yugito or her predecessor. You don't have to have complete control over your tailed beast to be able to transform into it and used the Tailed Beast Ball. —ShounenSuki (talk | contribs | translations) 20:45, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
Nine-tails Influence
Should we mention that due to Naruto Sealing off the nine-tails chakra into a separate part of his body, he currently cannot access any of his tailed forms, thus like Flapping Chidori, Demon Fox Rasengan is presumed unusable? Questionaredude (talk) 21:16, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Not really, the chakra is still in Naruto, and he has better access to it than he had before. We saw him trying to transform into the Nine-Tails, the reason he can't isn't related to the chakra, but with the cooperation with the Nine-Tails. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 21:34, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
- So what about saying, "Due to the Nine-tails ceasing to cooperate with Naruto, the Demon Fox Rasengan is presumed unusable"?Questionaredude (talk) 21:41, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
- That kind of statement is unnecessary. To add that would be to add that Kakuzu can't use elemental jutsu he doesn't have the hearts for anymore, that Sasori can't use the abilities of puppets he doesn't have anymore, that A cannot play pattycake with hands he doesn't have anymore. The wiki covers any point in the series, not just the most recent material. ~SnapperTo 02:27, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Rasengan rotation directions
It has been noted that rasengan is more efective if it is spined in one direction but as it seems it is spined in multi directions.Why is this? --Madman361 (talk) 22:52, February 6, 2011 (UTC)
Movie Only?
Should there be a "(Movie Only)" listing under the derived jutsus like Seven-Colored Rasengan or Tornado Rasengan?
- And on a side note: Would putting a "(Game Only)" listing be overbearing? Questionaredude (talk) 23:51, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Is this a plothole? If Naruto's shadow clones form the rasengan and the original merely provides chakra, and shadow clones transfer what they know to the original, shouldn't naruto have already learned how to do rasengan by himself?--GundamFun711 (talk) 23:35, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
- No. He uses shadow clones or chakra arms to form a shell for the Rasengan and compress it.--Deva 27 23:37, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
- And all the experience he earns from it is essentially making the Rasegan with more than one set of hands, which doesn't help him get better at making it with one hand. If he did the Multiple Shadow Clone training with each clone trying to make the Rasengan with one hand, then it might work. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:39, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
I think he can make a Rasengan with his own 2 hands and outside of his power modes. But this way it's faster.--Elveonora (talk) 23:48, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
No. If he had, that would have been something Kishi would have given a bit of focus on. Anyway, to answer the question, no it isn't a plot hole. All that the clones do is form the Rasengan the way that Naruto does it, thus the experience the provide is how to perform that method better. Skitts (talk) 23:51, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
Naruto simply doesn't have to aptitude to create the Rasengan with one hand, that much has been stated. Else I don't think he'd have taught Konohamaru how to do it with a clone.--Cerez365™ 23:53, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
That's stupid plothole then ... he has enough chakra control to be the only human able to balance yin/yang/natural chakras thus first to master Sage Mode. He is the one that completed Rasengan. He can do and mantain combination transformation. Looks like he can do some sealing techniques as well. I just cant see how the main and overpowered character can't do a Rasengan in one hand or at least to perform it with 2 hands without shadow clones or power modes.
Are you sure he was never shown using Rasengan without help of shadow clones and power modes ?--Elveonora (talk) 00:03, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
- Yes. With the exception of the futile attempts during his initial stages (vs Tsunade) there's no cannon media with him doing that.--Cerez365™ 00:09, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
I see, thanks. Then I will have to live with that he is weak T_T --Elveonora (talk) 00:13, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
First, we still have no confirmation that Yin and Yang actually refer to physical and mental energy rations. Second, what Naruto does to create Sage chakra is a change in the chakra's composition, he's not manipulating the chakra like one would in, say, medical ninjutsu. And just because Naruto is the only known true Sage, that doesn't mean he's the only one. Fukasaku says that the marks of true Sages are the eyes, how would he know that if no human had ever mastered Sage Mode before? Toads already have those eyes. There could have been others before him, who have died already. What Naruto did to Rasengan was to put another aspect of changing the nature of the chakra, that still doesn't have to do with what is known as chakra control. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:25, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
No offence but hope you are not being serious.Not eyes, the pigment around eyes.--Elveonora (talk) 00:43, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
I think the person's eyes themselves are also an indication. Also it was never said Naruto was the only Sage- Fukasaku said he bore the mark of a "true" Sage and said "compared to Jiraiya..." there were more than likely others that have walked the Path of a Sage (in this sense). I actually respect the fact that Naruto still cannot produce a Rasengan with one hand. It gives me a sense of familiarity- knowing where he's coming from and also remembering that he has no skill with stuff like that. Not because he's powerful is it going to mean that he's somehow improved his finesse with intricate skills like those.--Cerez365™ 00:54, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
Toads also have some pigmentation around the eyes, the marks around Shima and Fukasaku's eyes don't change when they're in Sage Mode, so to know that those are marks of a true Sage, other humans must have mastered Sage Mode in the past as well. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:03, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
Well if the eyes itself are an indication, then Gamakichi is s Sage as well. I remember Fukasaku stating the pigment around eyes are mark of a true sage. And you are right Omni, looks that way.
About yin/yang stuff, I think there's nothing more to add. Thinking that yin/yang and physical and mental/spiritual energies are 2 different things is silly since it was always referred to them as so. The OP's point being is that Naruto used Rasengan dozens of times and that he still creates more and more powerful and complex versions. The experience from Shadow Clones helped him to learn how to change chakra into wind nature. After creating that many shadow clones in the series, he should be able to perform Rasengan already without their aid and outside of power-up. So saying he can't is silly. It was said his usage of Rasengan has surpassed the previous users, so thinking he can't do it like Jiraiya is weird. Where was it stated that Sage Mode or Kyubi Mode helps him to make Rasengan with less arms ? I think we have seen Naruto using normal Rasengan in Sage Mode without Shadow Clones, attributing it to him being in Sage Mode is stupid since it should be even more difficult for him with even more chakra control required.
I think him using shadow clones to create Rasengan is not due to him being unable to himself, but because its his style after that many years. More arms = faster.--Elveonora (talk) 01:26, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
This is becoming a forum, the original question was answered so lets move on.--Deva 27 01:30, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
Sage Art: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan
Why' isn't Sage Art: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan in the infobox? Ultimatex (talk) 23:53, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Because a technique infobox only shows up to "grandparent techniques". That one is derived from a "grandparent technique", so it doesn't show up. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:59, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
Tornado Rasengan
Can the Tornado Rasengan added to the infobox.Ultimatex (talk) 12:30, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
- No. Movie and game techniques do not show up as derived techniques in infoboxes of anime and manga technques and characters. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 13:30, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
Just curious, this has probably been brought up previously, but why is this page, along with Chidori, referred to by it's romanized name, and not the literal translation of the Kanji? I sort of get it for the Mangekyo jutsus (E.g. Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi) due to the Shinto references, but why are both Rasengan and Chidori referred to as such? Why should the pages not be called "Spiralling Sphere" and "One Thousand Birds"? Again, I'm sure this has been brought up at a previous point in time. --Chitalian8 02:19, April 18, 2012 (UTC)
Probably due to those names being used in the english versions of the anime and manga so they are more recognisable than the literal translation. TricksterKing (talk) 03:00, April 18, 2012 (UTC)
Because they are most well known by just their Japanese names. Almost all translations never use their translated names.--Deva 27 03:02, April 18, 2012 (UTC)
- ^^ What he said. —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 03:10, April 18, 2012 (UTC)
From a familiarity standpoint, I understand: People know what the Rasengan is more than they know what the Spiralling Sphere is. However, why should we not keep consistency with the rest of the Jutsu articles? I'm just trying to be consistent. Chitalian8 14:08, April 18, 2012 (UTC)
They are simply just the exception to that rule. All the translations use the romanisation instead of the literal translation and they are essentially the signature techniques of the two foremost characters in the series. The bigger problem came along in trying to translate their derivative abilities. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 14:17, April 18, 2012 (UTC)
One handed rasengan revisited
In the movie Blood Prison Naruto does the rasengan one handed if i'm not mistaken --Mongrel Shadow (talk) 00:18, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
- In that same movie, Naruto knew B, yet the Invasion of Pain apparently never happened and they aren't fighting a war. He was also apparently going to die with the greatest medical ninja in the world and her two pupils one foot away from him. He also managed to use the Hiding with Camouflage Technique without the cursed seal burning and have a shuriken and wire string even though they searched him. The movie has no bearing on the storyline whatsoever.--Cerez365™(talk) 00:35, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
Kakashi's Chidori
It says "Kakashi Hatake tried to add his lightning element to his Rasengan, but was unable to and explains that he created the Chidori and Lightning Cutter instead," maybe this is just my opinion, but didn't Kakashi just copy the Rasengan with Sharingan? If he did, that would mean he created Chiordi before he learnt the Rasengan which I think is what happened even if he didn't copy it.188.8.131.52 (talk) 14:23, May 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Kakashi developed chidori before getting Sharingan --Salil (talk) 14:31, May 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Minato taught Kakashi the Rasengan as far as I remember, but couldn't add a Chakra Nature so developed the Chidori. This was all before he got the Sharingan though. --Speysider (Talk Page) 14:39, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

text: X Prize: making the Tricorder a reality Science 17 February 13 by Jesse Sunenblick Walter De Brouwer's Scanadu SCOUTSpencer Lowell This article was taken from the February 2013 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.In 1967, Star Trek featured a fictional medical device, the Tricorder, which could diagnose a multitude of ailments non-invasively. Now a $10 million (£6.4 million) X Prize is fuelling a race to make the Tricorder a reality.Could Walter De Brouwer's Scanadu SCOUT, one of the contenders, be the diagnostic tool that will transform how we manage our future healthcare? Walter De Brouwer: On his office balcony, he holds the SCOUT to his head. The bio-data is sent to his phoneSpencer Lowell In 2005, Walter De Brouwer carried his five-year-old son, Nelson, into an emergency room in Brussels. The boy was unconscious, and the left side of his head was caved in. In medical parlance he was class three on the Glasgow Coma Scale, a designation that carried the implication of permanent brain damage. Nelson had fallen from a window ten metres up. If he had not been operated on, the blood from his wound would have exerted so much pressure that his brain might have exploded. Medical procedures for head injuries differ around the world, but some physicians consider operating on Glasgow-3 patients to be pointless. The Belgian doctors agreed to operate, but with the caveat that if Nelson survived there was a good chance that he would be vegetative. They said his "content" might be gone.The idea of total content loss was significant to De Brouwer: he was a digital entrepreneur who viewed information as the most important currency in the modern world. In his youth, as the publisher of the Belgian cyberpunk magazine WAVE, De Brouwer had been an anarchist; this was when proclaiming "information must be free" sounded like dissent. By the time he founded the deep-future research firm Starlab in 1996, the net was blossoming and disruption had become the norm. Starlab employed the physicist Serguei Krasnikov to research portals for time travel, and the AI expert Hugo de Garis to develop an artificial brain. When Starlab closed its doors in 2001, after losing some key investors, De Brouwer took a job in finance; he was finished with big ideas. The downside of being an information scientist is that you see everything in terms of data. After Nelson's surgery, De Brouwer sat with his son in the intensive care unit (ICU) beside a series of machines that offered information to the doctors. Then Nelson was moved to the general wards, where, instead of machines, there were just nurses. De Brouwer became consumed by the idea of all the data stuck inside Nelson. "When the doctor comes in it's, like, 'Open your mouth…'" De Brouwer says today. "Our grandchildren will laugh about this, the comedy capers of medicine."There was a moment -- it would not come for a few more years, after 13 more operations for Nelson -- when De Brouwer wanted to share this knowledge with the world. He wrote to Starlab's former investors: "I propose doing one last big idea. If we succeed, everything else will be a footnote. Our last legacy: to disrupt healthcare. To destroy the hospital and clinical system and give the tools and knowledge to the people."De Brouwer's big idea? To build a machine to read the information in Nelson's brain.Singularity University is an experiment in futurist education situated at Nasa Ames Research Center, in the heart of Silicon Valley. Dr Peter Diamandis, the chairman and CEO of X Prize Foundation, cofounded Singularity with Ray Kurzweil in 2009, and he continues to use the institution as a testing ground for bold ideas. In the summer of 2011, when De Brouwer was launching his healthcare project, Scanadu, Singularity hosted a seminar called FutureMed, which aimed to explore how exponential technologies can disrupt healthcare. De Brouwer arrived at FutureMed eager to reveal a secret: Scanadu wanted to manufacture a medical Tricorder -- a piece of hand-held technology from the TV show Star Trek that is capable of scanning, analysing and recording a wide array of data, including physiological. What he didn't realise was that Diamandis wanted to create an X Prize to encourage development of exactly such a device.The X Prize is renowned for targeting the cusp of what is humanly possible, and the Tricorder certainly qualified. Placed near a patient's body on Star Trek, it offered a complete, non-invasive diagnosis. Like many technologies unveiled on Star Trek, the Tricorder seeped into popular culture, a tribute both to how well the show's creator, Gene Roddenberry, limned the scientific expectations of his day, and to how the Tricorder addressed a latent desire about data extraction: mining the self. As the global healthcare industry has evolved into a morass of expenditures and conflicting interests, the impulse of self-diagnosis evoked by the Tricorder has come to represent the ultimate goal for medical innovation. Eugene Chan's Universal Blood SensorSpencer Lowell In early 2012, Diamandis went public with the Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize. Sponsored by the Qualcomm Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the telecommunications equipment giant, the prize offers $10 million (£6 million) to the successful designer of a handheld device that integrates the latest in sensor and imaging technologies with non-invasive laboratory tests and an artificial-intelligence data engine, a device capable of diagnosing 15 different diseases in three days. About 250 companies or individuals have pre-registered. By mid-2014 this list will be winnowed down to the ten most technologically and medically proficient concepts. A year later, the finalists will be announced, based on the results of diagnostic testing, a "consumer experience evaluation" and "proof of adequate high-frequency data logging"."In my BMW and plane I have 50 to 100 microprocessors watching what's going on, generating data about all the critical parameters," Diamandis says. "On the human, I have nothing. I have a few bits of data I get on my annual physical. You should have gigabytes of data, to identify well in advance of cancer and heart attacks when something's off. This is where the future is going, there's no question."The list of the Tricorder X Prize applicants supports this. Stephen Johnston, from the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, has developed a finger-prick blood test that takes an "antibody signature" to provide a wellness report and detect diseases early. Michael Barnathan, the CTO of an AI startup called Living Discoveries, plans to build a device that integrates passive data on everything from mammography to movement. Russian researcher Igor Grakov has developed a cognitive test to determine altered perception of colour -- imbalance is indicative of changes to the autonomic nervous system and molecular biology: this test is being utilised by UK firm Montague Healthcare. Another startup, Lifecom Products, intends to combine individualised sensors with advanced "decision support" to create an intermediate agent that saves physicians from drowning in data. Like other competitors, Lifecom CEO Steve Datena accepts that the intelligence of his product may not matter unless he finds someone to partner with. The breadth of the X Prize's goals appears designed to encourage collaboration, so it's hard to gauge an early front-runner. Eugene Chan at work in his subterranean office in Cambridge, MassachusettsSpencer Lowell Eugene Chan has as good a chance as anybody of winning. In the 90s, he dropped out of Harvard Medical School to pursue an idea for the fastest and cheapest personal genome decoder the world had ever seen. Using a fluorescence-based sequencing technique, he believed he had found a way to decode the variations in all three billion base pairs of DNA in the human genome in 40 minutes. Chan raised $20m to start a company, US Genomics; luminaries such as Craig Venter marvelled at the possibilities and helped him raise a further $30m. However, it changed its business model and scientific focus several times, finally settling on pathogen detection. Unhappy with the company's new direction, Chan returned to medical school. One night, during a shift at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, Chan saw a dying patient wait two hours for test results. How could it be that in the 21st century one couldn't get instant lab results? Thus began his journey into medical diagnostics -- he wanted to change the way blood was drawn. He applied to Nasa for funding and set up shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts.His Universal Blood Sensor (left) looks like an early mobile phone and ejects a small blood-collector. The blood sample travels through a tiny piece of plastic -- a "lab on a chip". Because the sensor can conduct unlimited assays, Nasa commissioned a prototype for the next generation of astronauts, who, if they make it to Mars, will need to perform their own medical diagnosis.The genome is unchanging; its information is primarily useful as a predictive tool. But the information in blood is ever-changing or, in medical parlance, "actionable". In clinical medicine, actionable information beats static information every time. It could be that Chan's epiphany at the hospital could have enormous impact on medicine.Diamandis's first X Prize, the Ansari, was awarded to the first privately developed spacecraft to go into outer space -- Scaled Composites' SpaceShipOne -- just eight years after the competition was announced. Since then the X Prize Foundation has launched competitions to sequence the genomes of centenarians, clean up oil spills, put a robot on the Moon -- and create a Star Trek-style Tricorder.Before the idea for the Tricorder X Prize came about, Diamandis sought advice from experts across disciplines. He talked to Larry Brilliant, the doctor and technologist who worked with the World Health Organisation to eradicate smallpox; and to David Ferrucci, the IBM employee who built Watson, its AI natural-language processor. But the most interesting conversation Diamandis had was with a marketing executive in Qualcomm's Health amd Life Sciences group named Don Jones.Diamandis approached Jones about an earlier idea for a medical X Prize that he thought Qualcomm might want to sponsor. The idea was to combine AI with smartphone technology to create an "AI Physician" that could make a diagnosis by combing through a patient's medical history and asking questions. "It's projected that, by the year 2020, the US will be short of 91,000 doctors," Diamandis tells Wired. "But that shortage is good compared to the rest of world. Take Africa. It has 25 per cent of the world's disease burden but has only 1.3 per cent of the world's healthcare workers." Diamandis's goal was to provide a doctor for every human being on Earth.Jones told Diamandis that Qualcomm might be interested, but, "Would be much more interested in a solution incorporating more data points than could be provided by software and queries," Jones recalls. Wireless sensors, imaging technology and medical equipment were advancing fast, and Qualcomm saw in them huge opportunities for advancing global health. In thousands of laboratories across the world, scientists were creating a new generation of medical tests so minimally invasive that they could soon be partnered with wireless technology. Generating an infinite stream of real-time information about every cellular function imaginable, our bodies would become living, breathing data centres."There's a good working example of this," Jones says. "Diabetes. Forty years ago if you were diagnosed with diabetes you had to go to the doctor's office and get your glucose measured and your insulin dosage adjusted." But with the advent of glucometers, patients can do these things themselves. Self-testing revealed new details about how diet, exercise and stress affected glucose levels. Fifty years after the invention of the glucometer, diabetics remain a rare patient group that can manage their health in real-time. The rest of us rely on metrics such as our body temperatures.Jones believed that even healthy people should be able to have access to the sort of data available to diabetics. He told Diamandis that Qualcomm would be interested in sponsoring an X Prize that incorporated AI and remote sensoring and diagnostics, a prize that offered not only the possibility of self-diagnosis, but of data management and analysis. Following further development of the concept, the Qualcomm Foundation formally became sponsor of the Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize. The De BrouwersNelson (left) and his father Walter in the Bay Area, San Francisco, May 2012Spencer Lowell But convincing people that they not only have the right to the information within their bodies, but the knowledge to manage it, is challenging. "There's a great danger in saying healthcare information should be the same as [online] banking. There are so many variables," says Leslie Beard, the manager for the Centre for Innovation in Complex Care, a division of the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine. Even Harvard chemist George Whitesides, whose work miniaturising diagnostic tests on to squares of paper is being used by the company Diagnostics for All to proliferate cheap medicine throughout the developing world, admits the notion of healthcare's intrinsic "differentness" has merit. "You have something called a 'patient', who you need to get something physical from," he says. "A drop of blood. Urine. You have to think about privacy. You have to think about discomfort."When Diamandis announced the Ansari X Prize back in 1996, not only was it was illegal in the US to send a commercial rocket into space, there was no regulatory authority for such an idea. Diamandis had to ask Nasa and the Federal Aviation Authority to create one. The Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize faces similar challenges.There are also regulatory hurdles confronting the Tricorder X Prize. In the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plays a czar-like role in dictating which medical technologies enter the marketplace. When Jones and Diamandis finalised the Tricorder concept, they made sure to contact the FDA. "There's never been a device this complex," Jones says. "But the actual prize doesn't require a commercialised, FDA-approved product. Just one that works."Do you really want unmitigated, real-time access to your body's data? Might it create a population of unfathomably detail-orientated hypochondriacs? Could information be a gift or a curse? Will doctors become mere intermediaries between our bodies and machines? Instead of six years of training, will they require six months?De Brouwer thinks a lot about such questions. He views Scanadu as part of the digital era's three-pronged information revolution. This first goal is to create citizen doctors. Then, perhaps, he'll turn his attention to government and then education. A concern, however, is whether Scanadu might become another Starlab. The company was started with an initial $2m in seed funding, and has continued to attract investors. By the end of 2013, it aims to have taken three products to market. However, some VCs find Scanadu challenging due to its plan for a multi-pronged product line: Tricorders for the medical establishment, for consumers, paediatrics and parents. Scanadu's business model has evolved to target "spit and polish" Tricorders that aim to execute existing ideas better, such as measuring physiological traits (Scanadu SCOUT), testing for upper respiratory infections (Project ScanaFlu) and checking urine for diabetes, kidney failure and pregnancy (Project ScanaFlo). But whereas Starlab was a patent farm, Scanadu is manufacturing products; whereas Starlab believed anything was possible, Scanadu has a discerning attitude towards new technologies; whereas Starlab was headquartered in a former embassy building on the outskirts of Brussels, Scanadu rents space in a former naval barracks on the campus of Nasa Ames Research Center, down the street from Singularity University. And whereas Starlab was the creation of unbridled optimism, Scanadu was set up by a man who seems to have learned from his mistakes. De Brouwer knows Scanadu is a tough sell. Investors love to throw money at single-purpose technologies that come out of storied institutions and can do one large market test reliably. But Scanadu is, as yet, unproven in the market.On the day Wired was supposed to meet him last summer, De Brouwer had a heart scare, prompting Scanadu's medical consultant, Jamison Feramisco, to run an ECG with a prototype of the Scanadu SCOUT. De Brouwer caught a flight back to Belgium for a proper check-up, as he has no US health insurance. When he returned to the US, Wired met him at his house in Los Altos, California. He was alone, sitting on a sofa in front of an enormous flat-screen TV that took up an entire wall. There was no other furniture. He was unshaven, and he was wearing black sunglasses.In Belgium, the doctor had given De Brouwer an ultrasound and a cardiac stress test. If a middle-age heart scare typically instills the fear of advancing age, for De Brouwer it only affirmed what he already believed: that the advice dispensed by doctors, otherwise known as a "diagnosis", was not nearly as valuable as most people think. "He puts me on the machine, puts on the gel, takes the ultrasound," De Brouwer says mockingly. "And all he says is, 'Yep, yep, OK, yep…'"These days, his son Nelson has problems with syntax and universal knowledge, and the right side of his body is paralysed. When De Brouwer was in the ICU, he made a discovery that deepened his conviction about why medicine will undergo radical change. There were other children in the ICU, and De Brouwer realised that the only way he could be useful -- either to Nelson or himself -- was to indulge a kind of therapeutic energy by trying to help the parents. The strangers traded tips and tricks about the significance of the machines' oxygenation readouts, about what to do in case of a blood clot. They created a network. "I forgot my own situation," he says. "Helping is therapeutic, it helps you forget your own misery."Diagnosis is a 20th-century word, it's obsolete," he says. "A carbon-based unit with a degree and residency duty has pronounced a verdict protected by a community of brethren about a number of government-audited procedures that have been documented by the pharmaceutical industry. The new word is 'recommendation'. If my child is sick, I want to compare him to other children with the same illness. And then I will talk to a doctor, if necessary." Like many X Prize competitors, Scanadu is building on existing technology, while developing proprietary tech (with a claimed 38 patents at time of press), diagnostic algorithms and techniques such as hyperspectral imaging in diagnosis. Can all this bring us a step closer to a Star Trek future, where data is the doctor? We can't be sure, but someone has to boldly go there. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

text: Im going to start with pictures, and a short description of each one. From there I will give my intial thoughts and answer any questions or take any other pictures anyone here may want to see. I just recieved this pack, this past Friday (6/10). So its new to me, but my intial thoughts are for my style of DIY backcountry hunting this will be perfect for my hunts. I dont have all of my gear and supplies at this point in the year, but I did load my pack down with everything I would take, and what I didnt have on hand, (mountain food), I simulated with my drybags that I keep my food in stuffed with a small blanket, the red dry bag represents about what I would take for 7 days worth of dinners and the black bag was actually full of my cheese crackers and clif bars, the actual amount I'd have on a 7 day hunt as well.

Comments about Sportz SUV Tent:
I used the tent for the first time this past weekend and thought it was great!! My wife even enjoyed camping and I wasn't sure that was possible. I heard from reviews that people said that it was hard to set up, but me and my friend set it up for the first time in the dark and only took us 10 minutes, very simple. They even have a video that shows you how to set it up, I would advise watching it first if you are unsure. Others said that it wouldnt fit back in the bag that it comes with, but again, I had no problem with it at all. The only cons were the tent pegs that came with it. They had no point at the end and bent everytime you hammered them in. I went to REI and bought some titanium tent pegs and problem was solved. The only other con was that when using the zippers, they sometimes catch the overflap fabric. Not sure how to fix it yet, but not a big concern. The tent is big and very roomy. I'm 6'5" and could walk around the tent with no problem. I have a 2004 Toyota 4Runner and the fit was perfect. Great tent, cant wait to use it again!

Laid-off man wins $1 million–tithes 10 percent to church
by Jessica Rodriguez
Newscast Media PORTLAND—A laid-off man recently won $1 million after buying some lottery tickets on a whim against his wife's wishes, in Southern Oregon. After receiving his winnings the man immediately gave a 10 percent tithe to his church. According to reports, Riley Gunn was traveling with his wife and three children to their one bedroom residence when he stopped to purchase some corndogs. It was a rare treat for his family, because after he had been laid off in May they had felt the squeeze on their finances.
So it was even more surprising that Gunn decided at that time to buy some lottery tickets as well. Even though he knew his wife would not approve of such a purchase with their limited cash, he couldn't resist having a throw of the dice to see if lady luck was on his side.
And it proved lady luck was on his side; his $16 purchase of lottery tickets won him $1 million. He realized he had won as his wife slept, and he shook her awake to confirm he wasn't imagining it. His skeptical wife told him, "You'd better not be kidding me," according to The Associated Press.
When the win was confirmed, wife Misti Gunn, 32, couldn't even bring herself to scream or celebrate, she just sat down staring into space allowing what had happened to sink in. The family's finances were in such a bad way they even had to borrow money from a friend to drive to Oregon Lottery headquarters to pick up their winnings, according to AP.
After their drive they had to wait 10 minutes outside the HQ offices until it opened, and Gunn has said it was the longest 10 minutes of his life.
Gunn had been laid off in May by a telecommunications company in Reno, Nev. He recalled that when he purchased the winning ticket he and his family were in fact on their way back from registering for winter classes at Rogue Community College, as they were planning to gain degrees in Computer Programming, and Business Management in an attempt to get back into work.
After tax the family received $670,000, of which Gunn immediately gave a 10 percent tithe to his church. Gunn said, "You give back to God what he is giving to you."
Foot note by Joseph Earnest:
I think the tithe should be 10% of $1,000,000 as opposed to the $670K. Just saying.

Indonesia is blessed with bountiful nature, not only above the ground with its amazing mountains and fertile soil, or under the sea with wonderful and colorful underwater life, but also in the earth's belly with numerous mineral resources such as oil, tin, coal, copper to silver and gold ore and precious stones.
Punctuated by numerous active volcanoes that form part of thePacific Ring of Fire, the Indonesian archipelago is home to prehistoric man and many giant and strange animals. The Pithecanthropus erectus, or Java man, lived here thousands of years ago, whose remains were found at Sangiran in Central Java. Here also lived prehistoric Homo Floresiensis, Indonesian small people, or 'hobbits" recently discovered in the caves of Liang Bua, on the island of Flores in East Nusatenggara. Giant prehistoric animals also made these islands their habitat, where the Komodo dragons are the last living evidence of that prehistoric past.
Samples and Fossil collections of these are well displayed at the Museum of Geology in Bandung. (WA)
Located on Jalan Sudirman 57, the Museum is in the heart of the city of Bandung, and is, therefore, easily accessible.
Entrance to the Museum is FREE.
The Museum is Open : Monday - Thursday from 09.0 am to 3.30pm,
and Saturday and Sunday : from 09.0 am to 1.30pm. The Museum is closed on Fridays.

text: I see that my current free promotion is not going as well as my last. This maybe due to a problem with the promotion starting many hours late, maybe not. I have followed advice for new authors that I found on the net, "put a picture of yourself and some information about yourself and your book on sites like Goodreads", and this one. So I did, the results for this promotion are far worse than my previous promotion when I hadn't put my picture up or posted any promotional information anywhere. Is it "just one of those things", or does following this advice and doing this sort of thing put readers off? If it does I'll take it all off and leave these sites alone.

First of all, kudos for getting a jump on your Valentine's Day plans (T-minus less than three weeks to go!). Starting now (well, yesterday, with our Romance 101 Boutique) and for the next few weeks, we'll have Boutiques chock full of everything – and I mean everything – you'll need to outfit your day. Whether you're boycotting red and pink or laying a path of rose petals, plan (and shop) to your heart's content.
Second date
You like each other, but it's only been a couple of weeks (stop panicking). Get dolled up and dapper in these can't-help-but-stare dresses and date wear (that's gift enough for now) and grab drinks at a swanky bar. And gents, a bouquet of something never hurts.
Our It's Love: Valentine's Day Style for Her and Him Boutiques open Thursday, January 31, at 11AM ET.
"We don't do Valentine's Day"
Or so you say. Skip the not-quite-cooked-to-perfection meal out and plan an intimate dinner at home, complete with a rose centerpiece, Orrefors flutes, and filet mignon (cooked just how you like it).
Our Table for Two: A Romantic Dinner at Home Boutique opens Monday, January 28, at 11AM ET.
If you're with the one you want (like, for forever)
Guys, if you're hoping to put a ring on it (eventually), this is not the time to overlook seemingly silly holidays. So, if you're saving the diamond for another time, opt for an almost-as-impressive Swarovski crystal pendant or pair of earrings. Ladies, a stainless steel Raymond Weil watch is fail-safe. He'll pass this one on to the kids.
Our Be Mine, All Mine: Standout Watches & Jewelry Boutique opens Monday, January 28, at 11AM ET.
