'World's fastest' full colour 3D printer ships in UK for £3,249
Prints 12x faster than standard printers
A 3D PRINTER claiming to be the world's fastest has started shipping in the UK, promising up to 12 times the speed of average 3D printers.
The Prodesk3D is a full colour 3D printer launched by a company called Botobjects and is touted to "revolutionise the 3D desktop printing market" due to its ability to increase its speed so that large 3D prints can now be done in minutes.
The Prodesk3D printer comes in orange colour for £3,249 or a limited edition blue colour for £3,749, both prices without shipping or VAT. The prices include one starter five colour cartridge set and one support material cartridge.
However, if you order today you'll have to wait six to eight weeks for the printer to arrive, according to the company's website order form.
"This move is as transformative as the original printing press and will galvanise the prototyping and design establishment and set the new benchmark for the industry to follow," said Botobject CEO Martin Warner. "The speed of this new printer is a real game changer. Speed is at the heart of mass consumerisation for 3D printing.
"We believe that the Prodesk3D will revolutionise the 3D desktop printing market, like Apple did for the PC."
As you will see from the video below, the printer is capable of printing small objects in full colour at 25 microns in just under one hour.
This wasn't the only 3D printing technology announced on Tuesday. Best known for its budget Android devices, Australian hardware company Kogan has launched a commercial "plug and play" 3D printer for just $699 Australian, or about £390.
Named "The Da Vinci 1.0", Kogan's 3D printer aims to offer the average home the technology it claimed "is out of reach and out of pocket for most people".
The Da Vinci 1.0 3D Printer was unveiled at CES 2014 in Las Vegas, with its main draw being the claim that it is capable of printing items 20 percent larger than most other 3D printers in its class can print.
Some of the printer's features include Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology, auto-adjusting build plates to allow for different sized items, four printing modes for different speeds and sizes, and easy-to-install and replace filaments.
"The Da Vinci 3D printing experience removes the complexity of 3D printing. Simply choose a design from the XYZ Cloud or elsewhere, then prepare and customise the design with the easy-to-use software," Kogan explained.
The Da Vinci 3D printer is presently available for pre-order only. The firm's website promises to ship the device to its Australian customers on 05 June. Kogan told The INQUIRER that there are no plans for a UK release just yet. µ

EURYNOMOS (or Eurynomus) was the netherworld Daimon (spirit) of rotting corpses, who stripped the flesh from the bones of the dead. He was probably connected with with the creatures which fed on corpses such as flies, maggots and vultures. Eurynomos was depicted with black-blue skin and wearing a vulture's-hide cloak.
EURY′NOMUS (Eurunomos), a daemon of the lower world, concerning whom there was a tradition at Delphi, according to which, he devoured the flesh of dead human bodies, and left nothing but the bones. Polygnotus represented him in the Lesche at Delphi, of a dark-blue complexion, showing his teeth, and sitting on the skin of a vulture. (Paus. x. 28. § 4.)
Source: Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology.
Pausanias, Description of Greece 10. 28. 7 (trans. Jones) (Greek travelogue C2nd A.D.) :
"[Description of a painting of the Underworld by Polygnotos C5th B.C. at Delphoi :] Eurynomos, said by the Delphian guides to be one of the daimones of Hades, who eats off all the flesh of the corpses, leaving only their bones. But Homer's Odyssey, the poem called the Minyad, and the Returns, although they tell of Haides and its horrors, know of no Daimon called Eurynomos. However, I will describe what he is like and his attitude in the painting. He is of a colour between blue and black, like that of meat flies; he is showing his teeth and is seated, and under him is spread a vulture's skin."

What's Getting in Your Way?

I am a firm believer that your surroundings tell a lot about the state of your career, finances, relationships, etc. and that the more clutter and junk you have, the less room you have to grow and the less space there is for new things to come into your life.

Consider Yourself Self-Employed to Achieve Greater Career Success
by Melani Ward - Apr, 2007
Many people believe that if they go to work every day for somebody else, then they are not self-employed. I read a great quote by Brian Tracy that I thought could use repeating: "Always view yourself as self-employed.

The Stanley Cup finals are painting a misleading picture after Game 2 on June 7. The New York Rangers have led or tied the Los Angeles Kings in every single active second of the Stanley Cup finals after two games. Yet the Rangers have no wins to show for it, as the Kings erased three two-goal deficits in Game 2 and waited until double overtime to take their first and only lead this time by 5-4 -- taking their own two game lead in the series.
Like in Game 7 against the Chicago Blackhawks and Game 1 against the Rangers, the Kings never held the lead in regulation. Things were a little different this time after the Rangers took another 2-0 lead, as the Kings waited until the second period to get on the board. Yet Martin St. Louis put New York back up by 3-1 afterwards, before Willie Mitchell brought Los Angeles back to within 3-2 on the power play -- 11 seconds before Derick Brassard got that goal right back.
Down 4-2 after two periods, it looked like even the Kings would be hard pressed to complete this rally. But then they got a break that could shift the entire Stanley Cup finals, when Henrik Lundqvist got tangled up with Matt Green on a Derek King goal and no interference was called. It loomed even larger when Marian Gaborik scored his playoff-leading 13'th goal minutes later, leading to yet another overtime.
The last three Cup finals have had overtimes in Games 1 and 2, including the Kings' 2012 triumph over the New Jersey Devils. Los Angeles won both opening overtime games in New Jersey two years ago en route to the Cup, and now it has won two straight opening overtimes at the Staples Center. The Kings had to survive an extra overtime in this case, as they traded chances and penalties with the Rangers until Dustin Brown deflected Mitchell's final shot.
It was a terrible sports day all around in New York, as the ironically named California Chrome lost the Triple Crown at the Belmont Stakes before the Rangers blew yet another shot in California. Now the Stanley Cup finals may not come back to California at this rate, as it would require the Rangers to hold any kind of lead at some point in Madison Square Garden -- preferably in Game 3 on June 9.

The report, "The Grass is Indeed Greener in India and China for Returnee Entrepreneurs," is based on a survey of U.S.-educated Indian and Chinese professionals who had returned to their home countries and started businesses. These respondents cited economic opportunities, favorable conditions for starting a business and the speed of professional growth as the leading motivations for returning home. Family ties also played a significant role in attracting the entrepreneurs back to their native countries.
While every state continues to experience the impacts of the economic downturn and resulting recession, it will be many years before we understand the full nature and causes of the financial crisis. But it appears that one of the contributing factors to both the crisis and the anemic nature of the recovery has been the weakened position of the U.S. economy in global markets. This relatively untold story of the recession and recovery is, in fact, perhaps one of the major developments in the U.S. economy, one that will have significant impacts on state economies for decades into the future—particularly if the nation continues to ignore the issue.
In the last decade, the United States has found itself fully immersed in nation building, despite its alleged distaste for such endeavors. U.S. military forces in particular have been at the center of these efforts, building schools in Iraq, staffing Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) throughout Afghanistan and training soldiers in Mozambique. U.S. Army platoon leaders hand out micro grants to small business owners and help stand up city councils. Civil servants who once trained for peacetime development work now find themselves mediating tribal disputes in remote mountain provinces. Regardless of the efficacy of such efforts, public statements by both President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suggest that nation building and related activities are preferred solutions in the war against terrorism. Yet despite the enormous complexity and ambition of such efforts, there remains a gap in the training and education for nation building.
Entrepreneurs can use this helpful tool to evaluate their company's strengths and weaknesses in all areas of business.
This checklist, derived from the book, Mastering the Rockefeller Habits, includes a set of key tasks for entrepreneurs to undertake every day in running their company.

I'm setting up an OS X 10.4 Tiger Server box - just for the fun of it rather than for any serious purpose. I'd like to run a simple backup script daily, regardless of whether any user is currently logged in, and I'd like the script to have access to an AFP share (a USB drive connected to an Airport Extreme base station). So I'm trying to mount the share at startup rather than at user login. I can mount the share from the command line with:
mount_afp afp://username:password@servername/sharename/ /Volumes/sharename/
...where "servername" is the name of the base station rather than the server I'm setting up. That works fine. I haven't had any luck trying to make the system mount the share at startup, though. Being an ex-Linux user, I naively went looking for /etc/fstab so I could add an entry for the share, but the mount command doesn't seem to see my entry. To my surprise, I haven't been able to find any help on this either on apple.com or on the rest of the web. It seems like a very simple task; is there a standard way of doing this?

Frank Darabont returns to television – TNT, to be specific – with Mob City, a series I'm definitely looking forward to because, well, it's Darabont and because Jon Bernthal is starring (that guy has promise). Because Mob City is on the way, that means Darabont is back in the press and because he's back in the press, that means journalists are going to ask him about The Walking Dead, a show he was fired from.
And guess what? He's still not happy that the AMC suits cut him from the series. (To be fair, he's not the only showrunner to get the boot.) Here are some choice words he had for Variety that pressed him about the debacle.

Advice For Personal Finance For You And Your Family
Being a financial expert is not needed to control your personal finances. With common sense and a thorough knowledge of money management, not only will you lead a comfortable financial life, you can also increase your wealth.
Be aware on letters that arrive in your mail regarding changes done in your credit accounts. The law states that these creditors must give you a 45 day heads up. Take careful note of the changes, and determine if the account is still acceptable to you under those terms. If you decide it's not worth keeping, then it's time to pay the bill and close the account.
Try setting up an automatic bill payment through your bank to ensure you pay on time. Regardless of whether or not you can pay off your credit cards in full, paying them in a timely manner will help you build a good payment history. You are sure to make your payments on time every month if you have an automatic payment set up through your bank. Any month that you have some extra money, you can always make an additional payment on the credit card account.
It's normal for people to make mistakes, and it happens to everyone, especially when it comes to finances. If a check bounces, you can request the fee be waived. This courtesy is usually only extended to customers who are consistent in avoiding overdrawing their checking account, and is usually offered on a one-time basis.
An excellent method of locating coupons not available in newspapers or stores is to search online. Make the most of your budget and have more money to contribute to your savings by always taking advantage of coupons and discounts.
Eat as though you are a local when traveling to other countries and you will save money. The restaurants in hotels and tourist areas have "tourist trap pricing," which can be substantially higher than what locals pay. With this in mind, eat where the locals eat! The food is likelier to be more enjoyable and less expensive.
Let your investments do some international travel. The simplest way to invest internationally is through a no-load mutual fund, which provides diversification and greatly reduces the expense and amount of research needed to buy individual foreign stocks.
If you're under 21 and you desire to have a credit card, you need to be aware that certain rules have changed through the years. Once upon a time, credit cards were freely issued to college students. You must have a cosigner or an income that can be proven. Read the fine print about the card before signing up for it.
There are many home improvement projects you can do yourself, so don't pay the high prices charged by professionals. There are D.I.Y. classes in home improvement stores, along with many online articles and videos that show you how to effectively complete a job yourself.
Ensure that your budget is properly calculated so you can afford your monthly property expenses. Keep track of all your cash receipts and expenses to assess your investment's performance each month. Make certain to have a solid budget in mind and stick to it.
Purchase store brand items. In many cases brand loyalty only leads to lower value. Most of the time, it even has the same things in it. Do not be scared to eat these things, they can help you save a good amount of money.
You can save lots of money at home by learning how to cut your own hair as well as that of your family's. Only visit a hairdresser when an actual cut is needed. Give yourself and members of your family a free haircut!
As has been shown in this article, it is quite possible for someone to live comfortably, increase their wealth and have healthy finances. If you combine your common sense with the beneficial financial advice presented in this article, you can devise a budget that's easy to maintain, decrease or eliminate your debt, develop a savings plan, and gain control of your personal finances before they gain control of you.

Re: State Park Hanging Rules
pure mahem <pure_mahem@...>
I got the point of the snails! Guess I'm glad I don't have to worry about that up here in the North Woods, all we got is some common moss, less bugs, more trees than you can shake a stick at, no snakes, and beautiful mountains! This will always be my home. I think it's important to take into consideration that not everyone can understand local regional concerns as not everyone lives in that area. Up here the eye hook or sawing action of ropes on the trees would be the only reason you wouldn't be allowed to hang a hammock. Nobody said anything about no endangered snails in the origninal post. And as it has been mentioned a lot about no hanging in Florida I don't recall anyone posting about no snails until they just pointed it out recently. So I was just trying to help with a suggestion not knowing about the snails. Take a chill pill! ----- Original Message ---- From: Dar <rigpilot@...> To: hammockcamping@... Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 10:18:15 PM Subject: Re: [Hammock Camping] State Park Hanging Rules Did you miss the point that they are not protecting just trees? Moss, snails, ground cover, flora, fauna, insects, animals, and various environmental elements need protection. Also, don't forget that most hangers/campers/ packers do not use their equipment properly. As well, many feel entitled if they see others doing what they want to do.

Zeke, 17, and Luke, 5, both live in Texas, and they both suffer with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs). Children with EGIDs have painful reactions to food, often to nearly everything they eat. Food is like poison to their bodies, and every meal is a reminder of their lifelong battle. Zeke, who was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis in his early teens, had never met or even heard of anyone else who shared his diagnosis. Then one day, his hometown gastroenterologist, Michael Russo, MD, recommended he meet then 3-year-old Luke Zicarelli, who also has eosinophilic esophagitis, as well as eosinophilic colitis. Despite their age difference, Zeke and Luke made an instant connection. "We told Luke, 'Zeke's tummy hurts just like your tummy hurts,'" Luke's mom, Amy, recalls. "Luke immediately understood. They became fast friends."
Young Luke's tummy has hurt since birth. "As a newborn, Luke was very unhappy and fussy whenever he was eating," Amy says. After many tests, Luke's diagnosis was still unclear and his symptoms, including diarrhea and vomiting, were not going away.
Unlike Luke, Zeke's problems with food weren't severe until he was almost 13 years old. His parents, Cindy and Frank, noticed him struggling at his favorite activity: ice hockey. "Hockey was always Zeke's passion," Cindy says. "But from the stands, it looked like he wasn't putting in much effort. We thought he might have lost his interest in the sport." Zeke's passion had remained, but he was having trouble gaining weight and keeping his energy level up. Because of a family history of gluten allergy, Cindy took Zeke to see Dr. Russo. After going through some initial food allergy testing and two scopes of his esophagus, they found Zeke could only eat turkey, peaches and apples without a horrible, sickening reaction. Zeke and Luke were both referred to Cincinnati Children's.
Cincinnati Children's is home to the Cincinnati Center for Eosinophilic Disorders (CCED), the international leader in caring for patients with eosinophilic disorders and researching a cure. "Cincinnati Children's welcomed us like we were family," says Mike, Luke's dad. "Their care team had a full plan for our visit including tests, education and a discussion with us about the best treatment plan for Luke." "Although it was scary to hear Luke's diagnosis, the doctors at Cincinnati Children's made us feel like we were not alone – they would be with us on this journey," Amy adds.
Luke's journey includes testing a few foods at a time while managing his symptoms with medicines and new treatments, such as steroids. Through this process, Luke has found some foods he can eat, like tacos. Luke's tacos consist only of beef and the taco shell, but it's one of his favorite foods because many of his friends like eating them, too. Similar to Luke, the short-term goal for Zeke is to find the foods that cause him the least harm while giving him the nutrition he needs. "I try three or four foods every three months," Zeke says. "Then I go back to Cincinnati Children's for biopsies that show how my body is reacting to the new foods." The long-term goal is finding a cure so Luke, Zeke and others like them can live a normal life.
Zeke, Cindy and Frank Angel (on left) have already planned two successful events with Lyla, Amy, Mike and Luke Zicarelli that raised nearly $250,000 for Cincinnati Children's
EGIDs, which can affect the esophagus, intestines and/or colon, are increasingly being recognized and are a growing medical problem. "Ending suffering from these perplexing disorders is dependent upon research," says Marc Rothenberg, MD, PhD, director of the CCED. After meeting with Dr. Rothenberg and touring his lab, Zeke found new hope for a cure for EGIDs. "Luke was really sick when I met him," Zeke says. "So I wanted to raise $1 million to find a cure." Zeke's and Luke's parents were inspired by Zeke's enthusiasm and have joined together to raise money and awareness through an annual event they hold in Texas, PAR-TEE for a Cure Gala and Golf Outing. After two years of the event, the Angels and Zicarellis have donated almost $250,000 for Dr. Rothenberg's pioneering research at Cincinnati Children's.
Having someone else who understands the experiences they have gone through has helped Zeke and Luke cope with the day-to-day challenges of their conditions. "When Luke is eating, sometimes he'll ask if Zeke can eat this, too," Amy says. The food restrictions have become an integral part of both families' lives, and their bond has become stronger as they work to find activities outside of eating to enjoy with family and friends. "Zeke and Luke like to play outside and with the Wii," Amy says. "Luke also watches Zeke play ice hockey." Zeke says that being on the ice is a needed release for him from the pressures of school, the worries of being a teenager and the stress of his serious gastrointestinal disease. Zeke knows when he needs some extra support he can count on Luke to cheer for him in the stands. And, as the team at Cincinnati Children's works towards a cure, Luke and Zeke continue to cheer for each other – on and off the ice.

On the day you died, Casey woke up and told me that he had a wonderful dream about you. You were 20 years younger, and telling him about a wonderful meal you'd just eaten.
On the day you died, it was raining the morning.
On the day you died, "What a Wonderful World" came on in the car on our way to work, and I looked over at Casey – the tears streaming down his face mirrored mine as he whispered, "My Mom loves this song."
On the day you died, I cried all the way to work after I dropped Casey off. I couldn't shake a terrible feeling.
On the day you died, I glanced at my phone at 11:47, saw a missed call from Casey, and knew you were gone.
On the day you died, the sun came out at noon and we wondered if you were lighting the day.
On the day you died we held each other. We cried, we remembered. We said so many "I love yous" as we tried to fill the void you left.
On the day you died Casey and I fell asleep holding hands, tears streaming down our face silently in the darkness.
On the day you died, the world didn't stop spinning, but our world did– at least for a moment — as we took time to honor your time on this Earth and wish you well on your journey to the next.

The news recently broke that the troubled latest chapter in in the Spider-Man film saga will be a total reboot. Sam Raimi and Tobay Maguire are off the film completely and a new script based on the popular hero's high school roots will be used. Marvel Studios and Columbia will co-produce the movie and aim for a 2012 release. Ideally this also means that the wall crawler will join the ever growing pantheon of Marvel heroes sharing a universe on the big screen.
The separation of the new film from the original creative team may seems to be amiable (despite the recent friction selecting a villain worthy of the big screen) as Raimi had the following to say: "Working on the 'Spider-Man' movies was the experience of a lifetime for me. While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job."
Sony bigwigs have reported that their primary driving goal in creating the Spider-Man films has and will be the story. While this was clearly not the case in the miserable attempt at the third movie, the potential reboot may offer a wide array of new stories and challenges for the webhead. Hopefully there won't be another origin, as that particular part of Spider-Man's history has been done to death.

Get too experimental and try tricks you can't manage, and you'll wipe out and loose a huge chunk of that carefully-acquired rocket power. Success in a race means you've learned to walk the fine line between daring and intelligent, with just enough attention to each attribute."

NELSONVILLE, Ohio
Once feared, a new bypass coming for Route 33 now is seen as a likely help for downtown Nelsonville in southeast Ohio.
People in the city of nearly 5,400 people expect the four-lane, 8.5-mile bypass to spur development and encourage visits to the downtown by relieving today's heavy congestion, traffic choke points and crash problems. About 1.5 miles of the highway's westbound lanes on the city's western edge will open Wednesday. The same segment's eastbound lanes will open later this fall.
The full project is expected to be open in September 2013.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that another help to traffic and downtown is expected from a roundabout being built. It's also expected to serve as an attractive visual "gateway" that lets drivers know they are entering downtown Nelsonville.
When construction preparations began several years ago, some people worried that carrying traffic around the city would dry up downtown visits and business.
Mike Tink, who sells late-model used cars and pickup trucks, said he has talked to business owners in Lancaster, Ohio, who say their early fears of the Lancaster Route 33 bypass were misplaced. Instead, the bypass has brought new businesses and shopping.
He thinks he'll get more customers when congestion is eased. There can be delays of up to half an hour to get through the city when people are on their way to Ohio University for special events. The bypass will allow drivers to keep going around Nelsonville at 65 mph
I spent 3 years in that area while attending Ohio University[Athens}. Glad to see some improvements for that part of the state. Students died every year speeding to/from Columbus. Narrow, curvy roads made for horse and buggy days, become death traps for our faster cars and lives. Thanks ODOT for some long-needed improvements for our beautiful South-eastern Ohio.

MEDINA — Medina's girls soccer coach Doug Coreno knew that a one-goal lead wouldn't be safe Wednesday night.
Coreno also knew the first 10 minutes of the second half would decide who would ultimately win his team's Brunswick Division I District semifinal with rival Strongsville.
The third-year coach was partially right as the second-seeded Mustangs scored four unanswered goals and dominated the entire second half against the top-seeded Bees to advance with a 4-1 win in front of 1,100 fans at Medina Memorial Stadium.
"It was just one of those things where we came out flat in the first 10 minutes and it continued all the way through," Coreno said.
"We talked about how the first 10 minutes were really going to set the tone for the rest of the match and they jumped all over us getting that goal in the first five minutes … I don't know, we just could never recover."
That control by the Mustangs (17-1-1) helped them advance to the district title match for the eighth time in the last nine seasons — this time against fourth-seeded Holy Name, which beat No. 3 North Royalton 2-1 in the other semifinal. The win also helped Strongsville get a little revenge on reigning D-I state champ Medina, which upended the Mustangs 2-0 earlier this season. Since that setback, the Mustangs have won 13 straight.
"This meant a lot," said sophomore striker Madi Franklin, who scored the game-winning goal with 10:42 left. "They're our biggest rival. All we thought about was playing them again."
The Mustangs got that rematch after going on the same side of the bracket as the Bees (13-3-3). Wednesday, they made the most of the second chance.
Despite dominating the game, Strongsville found itself down a goal at halftime before Ashley Meier gave the visitors the much-needed spark they were looking for five minutes into the second half, heading the goal in from Alexis Manoa with 35:08 remaining.
"They gained a lot of confidence from that point on. Their intensity rose and we just dropped from there," Coreno said of the Meier score. "You have to give them credit. I think it was a lot more about what they did than what we didn't do."
From there, the flood gates opened as the Mustangs fired eight of their 13 shots on goal in the final stanza and scored three times in the final 10 minutes.
Franklin's game-deciding goal came after the varsity rookie took a lead pass from teammate Leah Sandercock and headed it past the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Taylor Burke for the score.
After an unassisted strike less than two minutes later from Franklin, Strongsville proceeded to keep firing shot after shot on a Bees backline that allowed just seven goals all season coming into the contest.
Manoa pushed a ball in with no time remaining to ice the game and stun a Medina team that was ranked No.1 in the preseason in a national poll compiled by ESPN Rise.
"You have to give them credit. They came out possessed in the second half. They beat us in every aspect of the game," said Coreno, whose team didn't have a shot on goal in the second half. "They spread out our defense. We couldn't possess the ball and couldn't get any offense going. We couldn't match their energy. I don't know if we did anything wrong, I just think they did an awesome job and you have to give them credit."
Medina, which was outshot 13-2 on goal and 18-4 in attempts overall, scored late in the fast half on a bullet off the foot of Jillian Graff as the senior fired a strike that ricocheted off the far post.
Despite the four goals posted by the Mustangs, Burke was masterful in goal once again as the University of Florida recruit stopped nine shots, including a pair of diving stops and a leaping stop midway through the second half.

U.S. Mint Suspends Production of $1 Presidential Coins
The U.S. Mint is suspending production of dollar coins as the government looks to nickel and dime its way to smaller budget deficits.
"The steps we're announcing today will save at least $50 million annually over the next several years. That's the right decision for taxpayers," Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Neal Wolin said Tuesday in a blog post.
The U.S. budget deficit in fiscal 2011 totaled $1.297 trillion, marking the third consecutive year the gap exceeded $1 trillion. Public debt is more than $15 trillion.
Tuesday's announcement was part of the Obama administration's "Campaign to Cut Waste."
Dollar coins have been a flop. Congress in 2005 enacted the Presidential $1 Coin Act, mandating that the Mint issue four new presidential $1 coins each year from 2007 to 2016. But demand hasn't met supply. (Read more about the presidential coins.)
"At the end of the most recent fiscal year, the Federal Reserve Banks held nearly 1.4 billion surplus dollar coins in their vaults–enough to meet current levels of circulating demand for more than a decade," Wolin said.
Wolin said that minting coins that end up sitting in Fed vaults isn't a "prudent use of taxpayer resources."
The Mint has produced 20 of the coins–Presidents Andrew Johnson, Ulysses Grant, Rutherford Hayes and James Garfield were honored in 2011.
All isn't lost. The next coin in the series, the President Chester A. Arthur $1 coin, will still be released in Spring 2012, though with a much lower production run based on collector demand, Wolin said.

Schwarzwald, Colin C; Jenni, Rolf (2009). The search for valved conduit tissue grafts for adults (>22 mm): an ultrasonographic study of jugular vein diameters of horses and cattle. BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 9(1):38-44.

BACKGROUND: Natural heterologous valved conduits with a diameter greater than 22 mm that can be used for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction in adults are not commercially available. The purpose of this study was to measure by ultrasonography the maximum diameter of the distended jugular veins of horses and cattle, respectively, to identify a population of animals that would be suitable for post-mortem collection of jugular veins at sizes greater than 22 mm. METHODS: The study population included 60 Warmblood horses, 25 Freiberger horses, 20 Brown Swiss cows, and 20 Holstein cows (including 10 Holstein and 10 Red Holstein). The maximum cross-sectional diameter of the distended jugular veins was measured at a location half-way between the mandibular angle and the thoracic inlet. The thoracic circumference (heart girth length) was used as a surrogate of body size. The jugular vein diameters of the different populations were compared by analysis of variance and the association between heart girth length and jugular vein diameter was determined in each of the four study populations by linear regression analysis. RESULTS: There was considerable individual variation of jugular vein diameters within each of the four study populations. There was no statistically significant relationship between thoracic circumference and jugular vein diameter in any of the populations. The jugular vein diameters of Brown Swiss cows were significantly larger than those of any of the other populations. Warmblood horses had significantly larger jugular vein diameters compared to Freiberger horses. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that the production of bovine or equine xenografts with diameters of greater than 22 mm would be feasible. Differences between species and breeds need to be considered. However, prediction of the jugular vein diameter based on breed and heart girth length in an individual animal is inaccurate.

Feb. 7, 2012
VICTORIA, British Columbia - The sun had yet to crest on Vancouver Island as the rowers ambled out of cars and made their way to the boathouse on Elk Lake. It is the training home for the Canadian National team, situated just two hours from Seattle but almost 5,000 miles from London, the site of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.
On this particular morning, Husky crew coach Michael Callahan had made the short trip across the border to sit in on practice and observe how three of his current and former athletes - Conlin McCabe, Will Crothers and Rob Gibson - were acclimatizing to the rigors of international competition.
Bundled up in protection from the raw winter chill, each day for the Canadian Olympic hopefuls begins at 7:30 a.m. and doesn't end till late afternoon, combining multiple sessions on the water with weights and ergometer workouts.
The "Canadawgs" are three rowers who've used their Husky achievements as a springboard to the world stage. McCabe, on a one-year leave from Washington, joins fellow Canucks in Gibson and Crothers, both of whom were key components in the Huskies' run to a National Championship in 2009.
Overall, there are five Canadian-born Huskies who could possibly represent the Maple Leaf in London, including Anthony Jacob ('11) and Dave Calder ('00), two oarsmen who were in New Mexico training at Canada's high-altitude camp when Callahan visited.
This group rowing in Victoria has been instrumental in continuing the success of the Washington program, combining for three collegiate national championships between them. Now their challenge is to uphold the legacy of a Canadian national team seeking to defend its 8+ Olympic title on Eton Dorney Lake this summer.
As the fog began to evaporate off the lake, the Canadians were already in full swing for Workout No. 1 - 500 meter pieces in the single, up and down the course. Midway through the workout, the sweats and wool caps that protected from the cold were already stowed away. Facial grimaces told the story of lactic acid seeping into muscles, as the straining athletes knew each stroke was being scrutinized from the small launch trailing 10 meters behind.
Yet they weren't fazed by the grueling workouts orchestrated by iconic Canadian national team coach Mike Spracklen; after all, anyone who's witnessed one of the Huskies' training regimens can attest these UW rowers are physiologically able to handle the workload. Still, six to seven hours of training per day is not exactly a vacation, even for these elite rowers.
"In a word," said Gibson when asked to describe the training, "challenging."
Spracklen's "programme" is designed to stretch one's physical - and, at times, mental - capabilities. Think three to four workouts per day, six days a week (Sundays are, mercifully, rest days.)
On an average day, the athletes wake at 6:30 and within an hour are on the water for a two-hour row. After breakfast, treatment and maybe a quick nap, they're back on the water for another set in the four, working on building rates and boat speed. Lunch and another quick nap are followed by a turn in the weight room doing Olympic lifts like deadlifts and squats. Then the rowers head to the erg for two hours before dinner, leisure time and, famished from burning through calories, a second dinner. It's not unusual for the bone-weary 23-year-olds to be crawling into bed when most young men their age would be just gearing up for a night out.
"There are many days when I wake up and wonder how I'm going to get through each workout," Gibson admitted. "There are many days when I want to quit. But it seems that just when I'm on the brink, I will notice I have made progress and it motivates me to press on further."
The proof that Spracklen's program works for men's eights - evidenced by his victories in the 1992 and 2008 Olympics, along in the rowers' improved strength and speed - helps reaffirm the method behind the madness.
"We train as hard as we do," Crothers said, "so even on our worst day we can still win the Olympics."
"We find our motivation from each other, as we accumulate mileage together, we don't want to let each other down so we push through the highs and lows as a team," McCabe added. "We get motivated as we see that we can all do it together."
Off the water, being a full-time Olympic athlete is a bit less glamorous than TV footage of the Games might suggest. With no time for any job other than rowing, their primary financial support comes from a performance-based government stipend, which really only covers the basics. Visiting family and taking vacations are rare occurrences - this past Christmas, the members of Team Canada opted not to go home for the holiday, instead staying in Victoria to continue their daily training.
The sacrifices will all be worth it, the rowers say, should they help Canada strike gold again in London. Canada enters the competition as decided underdogs to the Germans (three consecutive World Championships) and the host Britons, who have seen an influx of cash and resources in recent years.
But rowing insiders know it's foolish to count out a Mike Spracklen-coached team in Olympic competitions.
"(Spracklen) just takes the guys down to the core of their belief system, and he gets the most out of them that he possibly can," Callahan said. "That's why he's been able to produce so many Olympic medals, but in particular his success in the eight has been incredible."
Gibson, Crothers and McCabe are part of an ongoing tradition of Canadian rowers who have notched impressive careers into the Husky record books. There are several reasons for the strong pipeline of talent from the North to the Seattle area - the legacy of crew victories, the strong academics at Washington, the generally mild temperatures allowing for year-round rowing on multiple bodies of water.
It also doesn't hurt that Seattle is close to the Canadian national team training center in Victoria, making summer commuting for training that much easier.
"Rowing at Washington really is the ideal location for a Canadian rower looking to take the next step," Gibson said.
All three credit the Washington program as crucial in providing the foundation for their accomplishments on the national and international levels.
"UW taught me how train hard," McCabe said. "I thrived in the environment and felt myself getting substantially fitter. It was motivating and made me want to continually push harder.
"So many of the things that make the UW program successful are the same at the senior level," he added.
For example, small boat training is a staple for both Spracklen and Callahan. In Victoria the majority of training is in singles and pair boats, much like on Montlake where the better part of the fall and winter is spent training in pairs. This is designed to teach responsibility and technical ability on the water.
Both coaches also employ low-rate long pieces side by side, capping rate and rowing maximum power. This, McCabe noted, made him realize in both programs that rowing effective length is essential to success.
The level of competition is comparable, with all rowers striving for a spot in the 8+.
"If you have 16 guys who are as competitive with each other as they will be against California or Stanford or Harvard, then you're going to have a very good V8 and a very good JV8 by the time selection is over," Crothers said. "Similarly, if we have 12 guys trying to make the Canadian eight, you can bet when the summer rolls around we are going to have a very good four as well."
And like Callahan, Spracklen knows just the right motivational tools for that extra burst of energy.
"He will ask us sometimes if we think the Germans or Brits are pushing as hard as us," Crothers said. "Everyone seems to find a little something more in their legs then."

The study also finds that the best golfers had the biggest improvements in their scores. In this group, the average handicap dropped from 9.2 to 6.3, and their scores also improved from 10.8 to 2.8 on the sleep questionnaires.
"The biggest handicap improvements occurred in the lower handicap, often older golfers," says Friedman. "This group would be expected to trend in the opposite direction due to age-related deterioration in strength and endurance. The drop in handicap among the better golfers probably reflected that the major limiting factor was not golf skill but cognitive compromise that improved when the sleep apnea was treated."
According to Benton, it's likely that up to 3 million regular golfers have obstructive sleep apnea, and most are undiagnosed or untreated.
When proper treatment is offered, it's effective only if used regularly, the researchers say.
Studies in men have reported compliance rates as low as 40%, with people blaming discomfort, inconvenience, cost, noise, or embarrassment for skipping therapy, the researchers note in the news release.
In this study, patients in treatment had a compliance rate above 90%. "Providers typically attempt to maximize compliance with [the therapy] by promoting its medical benefits or warning patients of the risks involved in not being treated, but this approach does not always work," Benton says. "In the case of this study, the possibility of improving one's ability to play golf appears to have been a significant motivation to improve treatment compliance."
Kalpalatha Guntupalli, MD, FCCP and president of the American College of Chest Physicians, says finding new ways to encourage people with sleep apnea to undergo the therapy is "definitely encouraged."
Golf, the researchers conclude, may be a strong motivator to seek therapy.
The CHEST meeting is being held this week in San Diego.

On Thursday's Market Foolery, host Chris Hill and Motley Fool Funds analyst Tim Hanson give a thumbs up to the latest numbers from Facebook (NASDAQ:FB); but they aren't surprised.
Facebook's second-quarter profit more than doubled, overall revenue was up 61%, and shares are up 5%. To Tim, Facebook is impressive. Looking at the social site's advertising, Tim explains that campaigns small and large have overall been successful. Chris looks at what investors can easily miss. Some investors may not want to buy into Facebook because they don't use it, but advertising is what Facebook is about.
When looking at must buys, Chris and Tim look at the "cool" factor that Facebook is losing; yet they continue to innovate. Tim looks at the duopoly between Google and Facebook in online advertising, and he sees more possibilities in the online advertising space. Then, Chris and Tim look at how large the company has become, and the price of the stock.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

Tom Wark vs. James Conaway and 'the battle for Napa Valley'
Reading Tom Wark's blog post (err, rant) today over at Fermentation about comments from author James Conaway gave us a bit of a chuckle. Tom decided to call into question several quotes from Conaway that appeared in the Napa Valley Register from a recent talk he gave at the California Preservation Foundation Conference.
So why did the post give us a little laugh?
First off, let us say we tend to agree with Tom's assessment of the remarks–they're totally bizarre–but we also weren't at the conference to get the proper context (and we're certainly not going to take it on faith that the Napa Register is providing it).
That being said, it's always funny to us when people who have never lived in a place, or never lived there for any extended period of time, seem to be quite vocal about pointing out what's wrong and what's best for it.
Sure, Conaway spent some time in Napa Valley, interviewed a bunch of, to use his term, "elite" folks and wrote a couple entertaining books on its history. So, does that make him an authority on the Napa Valley? Does he know better than people who've lived in the valley their entire lives what makes the place tick, what the citizens think about its evolution, what the hot button issues are, etc.? Hardly.
Does Napa cater to tourists? Of course. Like it or not, the wine industry and tourism are what keeps the valley financially afloat. Finding a balance between catering to tourists and providing a good quality of life and opportunity for locals is the constant struggle. This is not a new issue. Is the valley changing as time goes on? You betcha, and please name a single place in America that is not. Do big corporations or big money own many of the local wineries? Sure, and again, name a relatively established industry where they don't. The comments from Conaway aren't anything new, we've heard it all before, over and over again. It's getting a bit tired.
We'll leave it at this. Is it just us, or does anyone else find it a bit ironic that Conaway is making a living writing books about the trouble with tourism in Napa Valley when the bulk of the very people who buy his books are likely themselves tourists who have–or will–visit Napa at some point?
