From next year, new phones and other hand-held devices will be required to be fitted with special chips to receive the alerts, which will also be sent by state and local authorities. Users will be able to opt out of every type of alert except those from the president, said the Federal Communications Commission.
The system will include alerts about missing children and will supersede all other phone traffic to avoid delays.
Ok, so we can opt out of all of this except for messages from the president? Where does the president get this right from? Maybe I have overlooked the constitutional power of the president to text when reading the Constitution.
Just kidding.
Most likely the government will use this new power like it does so much else – incompetently. Alerts will go out after the tornado hit. But there is potential for tremendous abuse. How about on election day a targeted message to registered Democrats in closely contested elections to go to the polls?
You say it can't happen? Well, probably not on a national level, but in places like Obama's adopted hometown of Chicago where the dead routinely vote, I don't see such abuse so far fetched.
And who can assure us that these new chips do not also track our location. Apple may be doing this already (although what they really track appears to be cell tower usage), but at least now we have a choice of phones. Starting 2012 the only choice will be the one with the government chip in it.
Ten days ago we rejoiced at President Obama's correct decision to assassinate Osama bin-Laden. It was nice that he made a decision we could wholeheartedly endorse and that Obama had continued to utilize the tools and information infrastructure created by the Bush administration to fight the war on Islamofascism. It was a little embarrassing to hear the Obama administration's contradictory statements explaining what happened so that they didn't have to admit to the lunatic left that they simply wanted to kill bin-Laden and turn him into fish food. But we can't get too worked up about this given the major achievement of killing the number one terrorist.
But don't expect Obama's success to change his agenda of controlling more and more aspect of our lives. Today it is the president's new power to text. A few days ago it was a tracking device in your car so that you can be taxed on the miles you drive regardless of the fuel consumption. I did not make this up. The White House actually floated such a proposal a few days ago only to distance themselves from it in face of the controversy it raised. Their concern is that gas tax revenue will plummet when government subsidized hybird and battery-operated cars will reduce fuel consumption. And of course knowing our location at any point in time has lots of other potential abuses. Just wait for the mandatory tracking implant that you need to accept in order to be treated under Obamacare. (Note to leftist readers: I realize this is not part of Obamacare now. I just extrapolate from current policies to make my point.)
This blog focuses a lot on the coming financial crisis if we do not address out of control government spending. We should not overlook the dangers of increased tracking by government of our every move and the Obama administration's desire to subject us to messages from the government regardless of our desire to opt out.
The Tea Party movement has just begun to challenge the decline of freedom in the United States. We have a long way to go.

I love running. I have specialized in running half-marathons and marathons, and crossing the finish line is always a very rewarding experience. After finishing 18 full-length marathons so far, there are surprisingly many similarities between blogging and running.
In this post, I share those similarities, the action steps you can take to save time (in blogging), and how to motivate yourself to keep on going with your blog – even if at times you feel like quitting.
1. You need to know your 'why'
Before you start training for a marathon, you should know your why – why do you want to do it, and what's in it for you?
For instance, in my case I wanted to experience what it is like to cross the finish line after running 26.2 miles and I also wanted to challenge myself to accomplish that goal.
It is the same with blogging. You should know what the core reason behind doing it is and why you have a blog. Otherwise, it may become very difficult to take action and do whatever it takes to grow a successful blog.
Action step: Know well in advance what you want out of blogging and why you want to do it. Spend some time with yourself and try to come up with a simple answer, then write it down on paper. Then, stick that paper in a place where you can see it when you work.
That piece of paper acts as a reminder that helps you stay motivated – even during the times when you don't feel like it.
2. Nobody cares how you cross the finish line and what your finish time is (except maybe you)
Style is unessential when it comes to running. This applies to crossing the finish line as well – nobody cares how you do it, as long as you do.
Even if you think that your finishing time wasn't what you expected, this doesn't matter where other people are concerned. You are celebrated as a hero since you still belong to that rare group of people who have finished a full-length marathon.
It's the same thing with blogging. If you have set a goal (say, earning $5000 per month through your blog) and you eventually reach that goal, that's what matters the most. Sure, people might ask how you did it and why it took you so long, but the most important thing is that you made it.
If it took you 5 years to achieve that kind of income, of course you may be a bit disappointed that it took so long for you to achieve this goal. On the other hand, who really cares? You are now somebody others look up to, since they want to reach the same goal as you.
Action step: Get rid of perfection once and for all. If you work persistently enough, you'll reach your goal someday. However, if you try to make everything perfect, you'll make things much more challenging for yourself.
Define your finishing point, and once the task is done, move on. For instance, you could create a checklist related to a task. Once all the items are checked out, you are ready to do something else. You can always improve things later on.
3. At times you feel like quitting
Have I ever wanted to quit running when I have been racing in a marathon? Yes! Have I ever wanted to quit blogging? Indeed!
What has kept me going is my motivation and a desire to reach a goal. It's also the desire to finish what I have started.
It seems that in running a marathon, the willingness to quit is at its highest just before reaching the finish line. In blogging, the willingness to quit happens as soon as you are not getting any tangible results (no new visitors, no new e-mail subscribers …).
Action step: To fix your dangerous thoughts of quitting – once again – remember your why: Why are you doing it in the first place? If you know your why, you should also remember that both in running marathons and having a successful blog, there will be good and bad moments.
However, to deal with the bad ones, you should just remember that those are really part of the journey. They can be considered as a test – how much you really want to reach your goal. If you still manage to keep on going no matter what, you have passed that test for now and you are a little stronger to beat the next challenge.
Running marathons is an endurance sport and it takes guts and persistence to reach the finish line. It is the same with blogging: it's a type marathon and it will ask for your persistence. If you hang on long enough, you will cross that "blogging finish line".
4. You want to hire some help
You can cross the finish line in running by yourself and you can also reach your blogging goals this way too. However, if you really want to speed things up and make more considerable progress, I'd suggest you hire some help.
If you are serious about running, at some point you'll want to ask for some advice from others. You could hire a coach and that person will tell you the right things to focus on.
It is the same with blogging: hiring a coach will improve your blogging considerably and you'll be able to reach your goals much faster than doing things by yourself.
Action step: Whether you hire a running coach or a blogging coach, you have to remember two things.
First, they both cost money. Yes, there are people who can't afford to hire a coach, and that's totally understandable.
Second, you still have to do the work yourself. Even if you decide to hire a coach, you are the one who has to do the work – not your advisor.
If you are not willing to do the work, then you should consider doing something else. On the other hand, if you are committed to doing the work, then hiring a coach is the right option.
Hiring a person to help you out is a long term strategy, and it will pay off if you are doing your part. Just keep that in your mind all the time and everything will work out fine.
If you are interested in coaching, check out this interview I did some time ago. It talks about coaching and whether you should do it or not.
5. You need to prioritize your actions
People are always complaining that there isn't time to do this and that. I'm willing to say that is mostly an excuse and the priorities are not set straight in that case. If you have a passion that you care about a lot, you will always find time for it – no matter what.
For instance, I'm able to blog and train for marathons – even though I have family and I work from 9-5. See, it's all about prioritizing those things. When I prioritize, my most important actions related to my passions are done – on a daily basis.
Action step: If you have a day job and family, then the available time for anything else is limited. However, the way I have solved that issue is to wake up earlier, so that I have time to do the things I like.
In fact, I wake early enough so that I have time to do work related to my blog and also exercise before going to work.
Sure, you might have to wake up much earlier than what you are used to. Then again, you have to question yourself about priorities and maybe then you can decide whether waking up late is a good idea or not.
If you decide to start waking up earlier, you can do it two ways: 1) Do it at once 2) Do it gradually.
In my case I used option number one, but more likely option number two is much easier for the majority of people.
In both strategies, you choose your target wake-up time. Then, in option one, you just start waking up on the target time starting from the next morning.
On the other hand, in option two, you wake up earlier and earlier every week. For instance, you could decide to wake up 15 minutes earlier and the next week yet another 15 minutes earlier.
Eventually you'll have reached your wake-up goal and realize that you now have time to do the stuff you like – like blogging or running (if you are into it).
You need persistence when it comes to blogging (and running marathons too). However, once you define your why and you strongly believe in your goal, you will make it.
It may take longer than you expected, but still… you will make it if you stick at it long enough!

Surprised at the performance, but just started using it. 02/10/2014
This review is from: ASUS GeForce GT 630 DirectX 11 GT630-SL-1GD3-L 1GB 64-Bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 HDCP Ready Video Card
Small foot print; Quiet (fanless); Uses a PCI-X slot; Does not require 12V 12-Pin Connector. Easy install and setup. Does the job I intended it to do quite well.
No Cons really. It's a little wide and will prevent you from using the next available slot on your motherboard, unless it's unusually far away from your primary PCI-X slot.
Other Thoughts:
Windows found drivers automatically. Updated drivers from the NVidia website later. Set up in a HTPC and runs everything smoothly. Video playback performance is clear and concise. Built in HDMI has no problems carrying video and sound to my receiver. Windows Experience Index gives this a 5.3 in Desktop performance and a 6.4 in 3D business and gaming graphics. Does not appear to run hot.

Banks have started to relax credit criteria for home buyers that have comparatively high household income. The main driver is ongoing job stability and reasonably stable house prices in the major cities.
It is not a free-for-all. The banks are targeting those of you with household salaried incomes over $100,000 with good job stability, no outstanding debts, and a genuine 5% saved deposit. You also need to have a clean credit history.
The criteria vary significantly from lender to lender and low equity fees will apply. The low equity fees vary significantly from lender to lender. It's our job to get you approved and make sure we get you the best possible deal.
At 95% these lenders are looking for strong ability to service your mortgage. Typically that means you can borrow up to four times your income.

TYPO Berlin highlights
Our feet have just about touched the ground since the wonderful whirlwind that was TYPO Berlin 2013 last week. So, we thought we'd share some snippets and snapshots.
Taking place over three days and reaching it's eighteenth year running, this year's TYPO Berlin was one of the biggest yet with design superstars such as Jessica Walsh, Neville Brody, Albert-Jan Pool and Ken Garland.
This year's conference also played host to the first ever Type Review that took place on Friday 17 May. Members of our official TypeBoard, Erik Spiekermann, Stephen Coles, Erik van Blokland, Andreas Frohloff, Jürgen Siebert and Ivo Gabrowitsch were let loose on stage to critique, commend and appraise typefaces in public.
We were also delighted to meet up with a number of our FontFont designers who were at TYPO Berlin.
The quality of the speakers was fantastic and highlights included Simon Manchipp and Neville Brody. There was a number of workshops to take part in, including Erik Spiekermann's print workshop and the Calligraphy and Lettering Workshop by our Head of Type, Andreas Frohloff.
If you missed out on the conference, have a peek at our Flickr profile for more visual delight, have a read about the conference on the TYPO blog and watch the videos.
First ever TypeReview to take place at TYPO Berlin
For the first time in its history, members of the FontFont TypeBoard will be let loose on stage at TYPO Berlin to critique, commend and appraise typefaces in public. In the inaugural FontFont TypeReview, you have the chance to get your work judged by the likes of Erik Spiekermann, Erik van Blokland, Stephen Coles, Andreas Frohloff, Jürgen Siebert and Ivo Gabrowitsch.
In a fun and fast-paced hour, members of the official FontFont TypeBoard will assess and review entries. It's a golden opportunity to gain invaluable advice, tips and feedback as to how to develop your typeface further and to hear from some typographic heroes.
So, if you are attending TYPO Berlin or are in Berlin on Friday 17 May and would like your typeface to be judged in front of a live audience, make sure you attend FontFont's first TypeReview.
How it works
On Friday 17 May at 13.00 in the Nest at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (House of World Cultures), Erik Spiekermann, Erik van Blokland, Stephen Coles, Andreas Frohloff, Jürgen Siebert and Ivo Gabrowitsch will take to the stage to consider, review and criticize your entry in front of an audience.
How do I enter?
If you would like for your typeface to be publically judged at TYPO Berlin, please come along to the Info Counter on Thursday 16 May with a sample/specimen of your typeface to hand it in. The FontFont TypeReview will then take place the following day, Friday 17 May at 13.00 in the Nest. Due to time constraints, although we'd love to see a full family (if you have one) you can also just enter one weight and style.
I'd really like to enter my typeface to FontFont TypeReview but I don't have a ticket to TYPO, does this matter?
No, you don't need a TYPO ticket. This session is open to everyone; just make sure you inform the door staff that you are attending FontFont's TypeReview.
I don't want to enter a typeface but I'd still like to watch, is that possible?
Yes, you can still watch. As places are limited, please make sure you arrive on time.
This sounds like a great idea but I'd much prefer to submit my typeface to the official TypeBoard, how do I do so?
The official TypeBoard takes place on 15 May. All details as to how to submit your typeface can be found on our Become a FontFont Designer page.
Can I submit my typeface to the official TypeBoard AND TypeReview?
Yes, of course you can, please just inform us clearly that you would also like your submission to be considered at the TypeReview as well as TypeBoard when you send it. Please note, you will need to be able to attend on the day if you wish to enter TypeReview. All details as to how to submit your typeface to the official TypeBoard can be found on our Become a FontFont Designer page.permalink

The shoes you wear may have significant effects on your osteoarthritis of the knee, according to research presented this week at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting in Boston, Mass.
Knee osteoarthritis is caused by cartilage breakdown in the knee joint. Factors that increase the risk of knee osteoarthritis include being overweight, age, injury or stress to the joints, and family history can increase the risk of knee osteoarthritis.. Knee OA is increasing in frequency in our overweight and aging society.
In knee OA, there is abundant evidence that patients with abnormally high loading knees (high amounts of stress on part or all of the knee joint) are at increased risk of both injury and disease progression.
Researchers studied the effects of various types of footwear on 13 women and 3 men with knee OA. Each participant underwent gait analysis (evaluation of the way they walk and load their knees) while barefoot and while wearing a clog, a stability shoe (designed to limit foot movement), a flat, flexible walking shoe (designed to allow significant foot movement), and flip-flops.
After having time to adjust to their new footwear, each participant was observed walking at normal speed. Researchers calculated the load on the knee.
Researchers found that clogs and stability shoes were associated with significantly higher loading of the knees, while the walking shoes and flip-flops resulted in lower knee loads similar to those occurring when walking barefoot. Therefore, shoes that allowed natural foot motion and flexibility appeared to be more beneficial in terms of knee loading.
"These results highlight the importance of re-evaluating the design of modern day shoes in terms of their effects on knee loads and knee OA," said Najia Shakoor, MD, assistant professor of internal medicine, Section of Rheumatology, Rush Medical College; and an investigator in the study.
"Knee loads play an important role in the progression of knee osteoarthritis," she explains. "Shoes have traditionally been engineered to provide foot comfort and little previous attention has been directed to the effects that shoes may have on loading of osteoarthritic knees. Results from this study suggest that shoes can significantly affect the amount of load on osteoarthritic knees—with flat, flexible shoes providing the greatest degree of benefit in terms of knee loading."

Big Ticket Reminder: Timbuk2 x Threadless
Time is running out to submit your guess for this week's Big Ticket Tuesday. What does Josh have in his bag? A laptop? A change of clothes? Jars of his own urine? Your guess is as good as mine. And we have some good news. Although only one of you is going to be getting the Timbuk2 by Threadless bag, the two runners up (we did say there were three items in the bag) will get Threadless tees.
[ED NOTE: Yes, threatening Josh on the street and stealing his bag is a disqualification.]

For skaters to function as a team, first they all must think like a team. Terry Orlick, Ph.D., the president of the International Society for Mental Training and Excellence, writes:
"We cannot win in team situations or in relationships by ourselves. It is like trying to pick up a pencil with only one finger...Even if that one finger is extremely strong, it will prove almost impossible to pick up that pencil unless you use your other fingers or some other part of your hand. Teamwork is a bit like using all of your fingers. Each one is unique and contributes something different, but they unite in pursuit of a common goal."

Sign The Contract
Dear Editor,
Your husband is on strike, what do you do?
My husband is on strike at Dayton Beach Park. He goes 7 days a week, 10 – 12 hours a day. I work all week and when he gets home he's too tired to do anything but close his tired eyes.
What do you do when the only day you get to spend with your husband, he is going to walk the line at the strike?
Well I threw on my pants and went with him.
Mike has come home at night exhausted and burnt, but well feed thanks to all the "generous shareholders." Home cooked food, endless bottles of water and ice. As I sit with the guys and some shareholders I feel a family feeling. Everybody is out watching that they are fed enough and that they don't need anything. I want each and every one of you to know how much I appreciate the support you have given and will continue giving to these men that are tired, burnt and don't get to see their families.
These men, after walking the line all day, 7 days a week, go NOT home to their families but to a second job. This strike not only hurts the men financially, it hurts their spirits, and makes them worry 24/7 how are they are going to support their family if this keeps going.
I know they are going to be walking that line as long as it takes and will NEVER give up.
SIGN THE CONTRACT and let the men go back to keeping your homes clean and safe and let them come home to their families that miss them.

Now your brake situation.
Use a Raybestos MC #39052 (you can get your local parts store to cross this number over to Cardone or Fenco part numbers) and a disc/ disc prop valve on a stock 79 Camaro disc/drum booster. This master is spec'd for a 1980 Corvette not 79, it may cross to the same number. It works and is cost effective.
The proportioning valve used is a PV-4. Check out a valve at your parts store and see if you already have one on your truck(I know you said you weren't sure anymore if it was 79 Camaro). If you have trouble with the PV-4 number working at your parts store let me know and I'll see if I can cross it over.
This should work for you and happy braking.
Let me know how it all works out.
Best Of Luck
Are you kidding me? No need to apologize for anything. I'm so grateful for everyone's help here it's not even funny !!
I looked up the Raybestos MC #39052 and JC Whitney has it for the 1980 Corvette. They also have the Cardone for the same car and it's the same part# as the one I previously found for the '79 Corvette so I'm in luck because O'Reilly's website says they have it in stock in all of their stores around here. It must be a popular MC.
Found the PV-4 here. Haven't found it anywhere local but I'll keep searching

Black Hole and The Boys coming to the big screen These are two separate books being turned into separate movies. I'm not sure exactly why they go lumped together in one press release.

Black Hole on the other hand is the fantastic work by Charlie Burns of teenage alienation in the face of a STD that causes mutations. (Hint: its a metaphor for AIDS)

Get Ready For Two Years of Trump-Might-Run Coverage Even Though Everyone Knows He Won't
It would be one thing if "E! News" did this but when the supposed "real" news outlets do it it's pretty disgusting. In short, get ready to get played:
Here we go again.
More than three years ahead of the 2016 election, Donald Trump is already hinting at a presidential run, and the media — though certain this time around that he can't be serious — are covering it anyway.
Dubbed a "sideshow" by NBC's Chuck Todd and a "serial presidential campaign explorer" by CBS News, Trump is being accused by the press of engaging in yet another publicity stunt. "Folks," the NBC News political team flatly declared this week, "he isn't going to run."
But don't for one second think that means an end to Trump coverage. And lots of it.
Even as reporters suggest that Trump should not be taken seriously, many media organizations continue to cover him as a potential legitimate candidate, as they did in 2012. The reason for that is something Trump, the executive producer and host of NBC's "The Apprentice," is very familiar with: ratings.
Oy, The Second Presidential Debate
Heading into this new week I'm already exhausted because all the attention in the US media is on Wednesday night's second presidential debate. Nobody knows what will happen of course. It's all about speculation. Predictions. What ifs. Could be. This or that.
We're watching talking heads justify their own existence and their own paychecks.
A friend of mine had some simple advice for me last week: Don't watch any of the debates so you can…sleep.
I'm thinking she's right.
And another thing: So much is going on in the world but in order to save/make money, the MSM has laid off their foreign correspondents and the campaign is all they've got.
So, here we are. The Debates. That's it.
If only we could train them to to think we care about real news.
Watch Cable News Outlets Cover for Paul Ryan's Lies
Watch his painful mashup of cable newsers covering for the lies Paul Ryan told last night in his speech at the Republican National Convention.
Ryan wouldn't tell lies like this if he wasn't pretty darn sure he would never be called out on them so thanks "liberal media!"
Geezus. The cables are so terrified of being called "biased," pointing out a lie and proving that it's a lie is off limits. In my opinion, that's the definition of news. Pointing to the fuc*ing facts and ah, hello, informing people for God's sake.
Can you hear me screaming now?
This is News? Really? REALLY?
If we didn't click on headlines like this, "news" organizations wouldn't publish them:
Geezus. Thoughts about the collapse of civilization come to mind.
News Outlets With Agendas
This is crazy.
Check out this headline at the Daily Mail,
over this picture:
An otter looks to the heavens and prays for food?
Forget the headline. Read the article:
'I took the photos at Whipsnade Zoo, which has this island with a purpose built moat for the otters. I had to hide there for a long time to get the shot.
'The otter was running around cradling a stone under his arm when he was surprised by another otter jumping out of the water which caused him to jump and throw the stone in the air.
'When he started trying to grab it I took the snap.'
Gee. Imagine what your memory of this would be if all you read was the headline.
Colorado News Channel: Sonogram Shows Baby Tebowing
Say it ain't so already:
You expect to find out if you're having a boy or a girl, but you might not expect what one local family saw in their sonogram this week. It showed their baby boy "Tebowing" in the womb.
"I think it really hit us kind of when we came home and looked at it because we had just got this on Tuesday; and the weekend before we were all 'Tebowing,'" Elizabeth Vigil said. She added that the baby is already a part of her Broncos family.
"You're born into the Broncos when you're born into my family, pretty cool," her husband, David Vigil, said.
What with so many things happening in the world that the corporate media would rather not touch, I guess you've got to fill the time any way you can.

South African side AmaZulu report Ghanaian midfielder Awal Mohammed to FIFA
The South African Football Association has referred the matter between AmaZulu and Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed-Awal Issah to world football's controlling body Fifa.
KickOff.com reported last month that the KwaZulu-Natal side had initially taken the issue to the Premier Soccer League, alleging that the player had reneged on their contract by absconding from the club.
The PSL then referred the matter to Safa, who have since asked Fifa to intervene.
"The matter is now with Fifa's legal department. He went AWOL twice hence we referred the matter to the League and now we are waiting to hear from Fifa,†AmaZulu PRO Philani Mabaso said.
The Accra-born Issah went AWOL in November after starting just two games for Usuthu since his return to the club last July.

Lena Dunham Fires Back at TV Critic Over Girls Nudity: "If You're Not Into Me, That's Your Problem"
Lena Dunham got into a tense exchange with a reporter at the Television Critics Association press tour event for "Girls" on Thursday after the journalist asked her why she's naked so frequently on the show.
The HBO series' creator-star was on stage with her co-stars (as well as producers Judd Apatow and Jenni Konner) when Tim Molloy of The Wrap posed a pointed question. "I don't get the purpose of all the nudity on the show," Molloy told Dunham. "By you particularly. I feel like I'm walking into a trap where you say no one complains about the nudity on 'Game of Thrones,' but I get why they're doing it. They're doing it to be salacious. To titillate people. And your character is often naked at random times for no reason."
She replied, "It's a realistic expression of what it's like to be alive, I think, and I totally get it. If you're not into me, that's your problem."
"You're going to have to kind of work that out with whatever professionals you've hired," added Dunham.
Her producers were even more outraged. Apatow asked Molloy if he has a girlfriend (he does), going on to say, "Let's see how she likes you when you quote that with your question and just write the whole question as you stated it… and tell me how it goes tonight." Konner wondered aloud whether his girlfriend might be a "misogynist."
Later, after the panel had moved on from the question, Konner returned to the topic. "I literally was spacing out because I'm in such a rage spiral about that guy that I literally could not hear," she told the audience. "I'm so sorry. I really don't mean to disrespect you. I just was looking at him and going into this rage, this idea that you would talk to a woman like that and accuse a woman of showing her body too much." She added, "The idea, it just makes me sort of sick, and so I apologize to everyone. I'm going to try to focus now, but if I space out, it will be because of that guy."

A/C Low Pressure Switch - does it have an o-ring?
1 Attachment(s)
The A/C refrigerant on my 1994 Wrangler Sahara (4.0L) leaked out of a rusty condenser. I replaced the condenser, accumulator/drier, and all the system's o-rings. But when it comes time to thread the low pressure switch back onto the drier, I noticed it has no seal. Is it supposed to? Did I lose it?
Under the pressure switch is a handy schrader valve which lets you change the switch without venting the system. Both are metal thread interfaces; I have a hard time believing a metal to metal seal would be sufficient. Can anyone verify if there should be an o-ring here? If so it must be custom, none in my generic kit are small enough!
Attached is a pic of the inside of the switch. The rod opens the schrader valve.
Thank you very much!

In a feat once as unlikely as the miller's daughter of fairytale fame spinning straw into gold, scientists in the United Kingdom have spun fine threads of biocompatible silicone that contain living human brain cells. The cells remained alive and capable of growth afterward, they say.
"This has far-reaching implications and will enable significant advances to be made in technologies ranging from tissue engineering to regenerative medicine," Suwan N. Jayasinghe and Andrea Townsend-Nicholson state in their report. It appeared Nov. 13 in ACS' Biomacromolecules, a bimonthly journal.
"The ability to electrospin biologically active threads and scaffolds of living organisms will be tremendously useful for the development of a whole host of novel bioengineering and medical applications."
Electrospinning is a well-established process for drawing fibers out of a thick polymer by use of an electric field. The scientists used an electrospinning approach in which a concentrated suspension of living cells flowed through a tiny inner needle while thick poly(dimethylsiloxane) flowed from an outer needle. The silicone material formed a fiber around the cells.
One of the many topics awaiting study, the researchers said, is how the process affects the biological properties of the cells in the long term.

Guest Picks: Rupert Holmes
Rupert Holmes was here to talk about the musical "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," which he wrote the book, music, and lyrics for. He stopped by with two of the show's stars, Jim Norton and Jessie Mueller, and he shared his guest picks with us!
What have you read or seen over the past year that moved or surprised you?
The first 100 pages of my new novel surprised me to no end. Especially that I finished them.
What are you listening to right now?

Australia's best-known red, shiraz, is on the comeback trail. Alas, after being the New World's darling for a number of years especially the 80s and 90s, shiraz lost its shine, was regarded as a tad unfashionable and its bruising, often high-alcohol "take no prisoners" style was regarded as somewhat gauche and not particularly food-friendly.
Some remained firm believers but many fell by the wayside, their throats awash with the film of harsh tannins and their palates crying out for relief and wines of a gentler, more ethereal persuasion.
But a classic is always a classic and if the fundamentals are present, your time is bound to come around again.
Aussie winemakers are smart and many of them now construct those shiraz giants in a slightly more bashful style with gentle restraint and more elegance, without losing that weight, structure and forward fruit upon which shiraz made its reputation.
Not easy. That unrelenting, at times viciously hot sun can be a double-edged sword, helping the ripening process on one hand but in danger of burning grapes on the other. (Let's not dwell on the matter of over-supply for too few buyers.)
To this end comes a raft of well-made McLaren Vale wines from South Australia, under the name of Penny's Hill. Established by Tony and Susie Parkinson in 1988 they have quickly established a reputation for some simple, fun, inexpensive brands, (Woop Woop and The Black Chook) to their top-flight serious reds that are exceptional in quality and most reasonable for price.
Black Chook draws on grapes from Langhorne Creek as well as McLaren Vale and is around the $21-$26 range.
Woop Woop is a mythical destination set deep in the Australian imagination and designed to capture the essence and remoteness of outback Australia. Most of the wine is $16-$19 and offers excellent buying.
Winemaker Ben Riggs has done a fine job crafting wines for the barbecue or the banquet.
Penny's Hill McLaren Vale Footprint Shiraz 2009, $65-$72
A real beauty, 100 per cent shiraz with a deep, almost black colour with all the blackberry, currants, spice, dried herbs and liquorice aromas you could wish for. It is full-bodied yet well-balanced, with layers of chocolate, leather and earth. A serious and sensual wine.
Woop Woop South Eastern Australia Cabernet 2010, $16-$19
Nothing too fanciful but flavoursome and fearless, this wine would be a great match for those sausages and red meats at the barbie, and also could go well with pasta. It's loaded with flavours of mulberry, black cherries, spice and bramble. Woop Woop is Australian for "out there".

Tomorrow is operation "blackout". Websites everywhere are being shut down for 24 hours tomorrow to stop the SOPA and PIPA bills from being passed later this month.
We at Three TEN Seven Design are absolutely against these bills and are joining tomorrows protest in an effort to stop SOPA from giving what we believe is far too much power to big business to censor content on the Internet as they see fit.
Small businesses, social media sites, sites like DeviantArt and Pinterest could be shut down at any time because of users expressing them themselves online; posting content that may have originated in other places. DeviantArt, for example could be shut down due the posting of fanart – or art that resembles a character or characters and that originated elsewhere.
We think this is a big deal and we also think that it will put boundaries on our freedom online, and we think that's an injustice. That's why, tomorrow, January 18th, 2012, we are shutting down for 24 hours beginning at 8am and will return the following day.
What are SOPA and PIPA?
If you are not familiar with either of these bills and how they work, read this. Please, educate yourself on these bills – you can search more resources and posts, just type SOPA or PIPA in Google.
Why we are doing this
As I mentioned above. We personally believe that the passing of these bills would be an injustice to the American people. We believe that freedom in this country is dwindling and we, as entrepreneurs, have always cherished our freedom.
You may find that you do not share the same opinions. We understand. But I encourage you to decide for yourself what you believe while we exercise the right to decide what we believe.
One more note, just because the site is down tomorrow does not mean we aren't available be phone or e-mail. We want to continue to serve our clients even while we are in protest, so if you need to contact us please feel free to do so.
Thank you

SFDS 4th Grade Girls Soccer Team Excels
Forwards Traci Corsello, Kerri Gallagher, Eileen Little and Annie Schneider played a great forward position during the season and especially in the playoff and championship games. The girls played a tough game. Traci Corsello was injured a few times during the playoff and championship game but got right back in and played an excellent game. Kerri Gallagher did an excellent job getting the ball down the field with great speed and control.
Give thanks for a great season!
Back field players Annie Blittner, Alexa Marchese and Caitlan Wheeler played a strong back all season and did a great job for the playoff and championship game. Katelyn Donlon who played different positions during the season also did a great job playing center back for the playoff and championship game. Megan Boyle, although a very strong forward player, played a great goalie for the first half of the playoff and championship game. For the second half she did an excellent job as forward. The mid-field made up of Megan Dolan, Angela Gurino, Meaghan Judge, Carolyn Marconi ,Maryann Opperman and Jade Ritwo played great all season, especially the playoff and championship game where they played a strong defensive game.
St. Francis DeSales 2, coached by Kevin Dolan, had a great Spring season. The playoff game was St. Francis DeSales 2 against St. Francis DeSales 1. Both teams played a great game. it was the most exciting game of the season. The game went into overtime with St. Francis DeSales 2 winning by a score of 2 -1.
St. Francis DeSales 2 then went on to the championship against St. Francis of Assisi. Although St. Francis of Assisi won, St. Francis DeSales 2 played a strong defensive game, holding the score at 2-1.

I have been to several quilt stores and the fabric is usually pricey. So with that in mind, why go to a quilt store when you can go to JoAnns or Walmart??
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I have been to several quilt stores and the fabric is usually pricey. So with that in mind, why go to a quilt store when you can go to JoAnns or Walmart??
i prefer to shop online then go to any stores because i can always find cheaper prices or better quality for the same price online.
I have shopped at all three. I do try to support my LQS because the fabric is usually a better quality. Mostly I like their expertise. They are always willing to help pick out fabrics, help with quilty problems, suggest patterns or projects. I stop in sometimes just to chat.
Often, but not always, the LQS will have fabric of a higher quality. You also should be getting some additional help and direction from the staff at the LQS. The cutters at JoAnn's and WM may not have any quilting experience, let alone sewing experience! I've gotten lovely fabrics at all 3.
I just went to my local quilt store on saturday, I only ever buy notions there as the fabric is way over my budget but i got some good advice there. Thats really why I go. I get some thread or a half yard of some of the cheapest fabric I can find and pick their brains. Because im such a novice, the advice is worth it to me.
For something to do.
I am finding that I am able to find some really nice fabrics online. Many of the suggestions of online stores come from the wonderful quilters here on this forum. I've purchased some good quality fabrics online. I guess one thing about buying online is if you don't get a recommendation you take your chances in what quality you purchase. I can't afford the LQS either.
I usually go just to have a look at what they have. Our LQS isn't too pricey. The last time I was in there I found Micheal miller for $5.99/yd. and it was so nice. I had to get 1 yard.
I go once in awhile to one in Ct just to support them. Also sometimes they have fabrics I can't find at Joann's or Walmart...I do go to another QS in RI because they run reg sales and always have a clearance section very reasonable and they issue a newsltr every mth with coupons...
I buy my fabric everywhere i can find it, some times LQS has some great bargains.

Rogue Moon, by Algis Budrys, 1960. It explores the matter of the transporter in a strange and disturbing science-fictional context. It impressed me when I read it some years ago, and I'm not alone: it just missed out on a Hugo — to A Canticle for Leibowitz.
Curse this Internet! It, not procrastination, is the thief of time. I want to post a few words of comment montioning an old sf story, but am I absolutely sure I remember the title right? MUST check it, because after all it's so easy to do. In the old days, people got away with not getting things right, because it took so long to look them up. But now there's no excuse, and you get the full data, and also find out who got the Hugo instead… Which is not all that bad, honestly.
Brad Delong has a regular feature "Noted for your procrastination" with links to all kinds of things to waste your time on. That title ought to be used more widely.
