Pope Francis has given the world a choice between "debris, desolation and filth" or "a serene harmony with creation." The path we take, both individually and on a global scale, depends upon a clear-eyed view of reality and the deep connection we experience as God's creatures with one another, with our world and with God.

Cloud Adoption Is Moving Faster Than Expected
Cloud Adoption Is Moving Faster Than Expected
The use of virtualized environments and private clouds to maximize resource utilization is happening faster than most industry experts had expected. These infrastructures are becoming very pervasive in data centers today.
Power-Usage Standards Quickly Developing
The power consumed by servers, storage and networking equipment is becoming an increasingly important consideration in the data center, which will result in routine use of standards such as Energy Star from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Power Measurement (UL2640) from Underwriters Laboratories.
Virtualization Is Proving Its Value Across Regions
More organizations are taking advantage of virtualization, which makes it easier to manage loads within and across data centers in order to operate multiple, geographically dispersed data centers to enhance disaster recovery preparedness and achieve other operational benefits.
Power Distribution Becoming More Effective
Capacity planning efforts that eliminate stranded power that is present in nearly every data center will begin to include power distribution and actual consumption as critical design factors, potentially resulting in an increase of up to 50 percent in server capacity.
Centralized Data Center Management Packages Will Become Mandatory
Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) systems will become a mainstream—and even a must-have—tool. Early adopters already have proven its value along with an increased focus on power consumption as driving factors.
DCIM Will Take Over Physical Plant Management
With the considerable overlap between the DCIM system used by the IT department and building management systems used by the facilities departments, organizations will begin migrating to DCIM as the primary platform for managing data centers and integrate other systems into it.
DCIM as a Cloud Service is Moving Up the Charts
With the increased use of software as a service (SaaS) and other cloud-based services, DCIM functionality will also become popular as a service for monitoring and managing a data center's environmental conditions and power consumption.
Automation Preventing, Fixing Human Errors
Data center automation will make a comeback. With the adoption of technologies like virtualization, DCIM, load-balancing and other sophisticated management systems, mitigating the risks caused by human error by managing critical functions in the data center through automation is once again desirable.
Can Automation Be a Revenue Creator?
Increased automation will finally make it possible for data centers to participate in lucrative energy markets, making them a direct source of revenue for the organization.
Is a Tipping Point Coming for DC Power?
As DC power becomes more common in new data centers owing to its greater efficiency, Thomas Edison will be vindicated for his preference for DC over AC.

After the hard work cleaning ONE room and mopping the whole house, our hunger started to attack us around 6pm... Andy kept on munching whatever biscuits that was available in the house... so pitiful.. both of us had to wait for our princess to finish her tuition classes before we could have our dinner...
At first we couldn't decide where to go for dinner but since we wanted to go Jaya Jusco to get some stuff, we might as well get ourselves famished there...
We landed up in Ting Hao restaurant and Andy kept ordering and ordering until I said, "hey, enough lo!" He ordered 5 dishes all in all...

How To Trim The Throttle On Your RC Vehicle
Locate the steering trim knob on your RC transmitter or underneath your RC vehicle. If it is on your vehicle, it should look like this:
The first thing to note is that not all RC vehicles have a throttle adjustment knob. If your RC vehicle does have one, make sure only to adjust it if it is necessary. The incorrect adjustment will cause the vehicle to peel out and take off upon start up. Lay your RC vehicle on a flat paved surface such as a parking lot or driveway.
Find the throttle adjustment knob on your RC transmitter. Adjust the nob clockwise to increase the throttle speed. Adjust the nob counter clockwise to decrease the throttle speed. Play with the throttle until the vehicle accelerates in a realistic manner. Once that is done, you are ready to race!

It's my passion to connect women entrepreneurs to funding. When I co-founded Springboard Enterprises in 2000, we didn't know what was possible. Eight years later, Springboard Enterprises has presented 360 companies nationwide, which have raised over $4 billion. Over a third of these companies have had positive returns for their investors already, including seven IPOs. More are on the way.
Another passion of mine is media. As a trustee of The Paley Center, together with trustee Loreen Arbus, we launched The Paley Center for Media's She Made It: Women Creating Television and Radio initiative to recognize women who have achieved great success in the world of media.
We have combined these organizations and are looking for the next Facebook or DoubleClick. This joint project by Springboard Enterprises and She Made It will showcase women-led media companies at the forum called All Things Media [PDF], which was just announced on March 24th.
People are asking: why women, when so many venture-backed businesses are led by men? Well, that's the point. While many venture-backed businesses are led by men, women are now beginning to show their metal in this very competitive high-growth sector. Previous Springboard presenters have the track record to prove it. We're betting media companies will produce similar results.
And there are so many ways for individuals in media to get involved [PDF] and be a part of this union. This will be a collaboration of venture capitalists, strategic investors, lawyers, accountants and the very successful women in the She Made It honor roll who will screen, coach and present these outstanding entrepreneurs.
Media is one of the explosive growth industries today with start-ups ranging from radio and TV to internet, broadband, mobile, social networking, games and much more. As Jonathan Schwartz, president and CEO of Sun Microsystems, Inc. noted in his remarks at the launch which introduced All Things Media to the community of investors and entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley last week, "The barrier to entry is low and the next great idea can come from absolutely anywhere." It takes ingenuity, focus and the right network of support to make things happen. Stay tuned.

Media, Labor, Mobility: Introduction
by Hye Jean Chung and Athena Tan
[ PDF version ]
In an opening credit sequence for the animated TV series, The Simpsons, which aired in October 2010, the customary shot of the Simpson family sitting on their living room sofa transitions to reveal the show displayed on a large screen above a dimly lit factory floor. Below, row upon row of unsmiling workers in uniform toil over the show's animation (most of which is outsourced to South Korea), while elsewhere in the factory still more workers are shown assembling and packaging ancillary products such as T-shirts and DVDs. This provocative segment by street artist Banksy joins a growing pool of references to the issue of globalized creative labor in mainstream media. Despite its playful depiction of dolphins, unicorns, and giant pandas on the assembly line, it alludes to the subpar working conditions at sites of outsourced labor. These conditions, and the very fact that the workforce is globally dispersed in media production, are usually unrecognized and often masked in media texts through discursive strategies that serve to uphold the fetishization of media commodities.
Banksy's self-reflexive, tongue-in-cheek representation of the globalization of labor in media industries raises some of the questions central to the theme and contents of this issue of Media Fields Journal, "Media, Labor, Mobility." What are the circumstances unique to neoliberal globalization under which workers labor to make images move—to become animated and to circulate? How might digital labor facilitate the movement of media products and information, but not necessarily of laboring bodies? How do new regimes of creative production simultaneously expand and constrict workers' lived experiences? How can the spaces and speeds of film, video, and other audiovisual media illuminate varieties of spatial and temporal disjuncture such as those experienced through "virtual migration"?[i] How can media technologies be used to regulate and to enable the movement of laboring bodies?
In conceptualizing this issue's theme, phenomena such as runaway productions, global visual effects pipelines, and outsourced post-production work that are part of the "new international division of cultural labor" were some of our primary considerations.[ii] But beyond the geographical dispersion of creative labor, the triad "media, labor, mobility" as we conceive of it is also meant to invoke the offshore manufacturing of technologies that sustain the production of moving images, mediations and media representations of mobile labor, and forms of labor arising from the use of mobile media technologies. Our aim in this issue is to offer an examination of labor and mobility from a range of media-centered approaches—to situate issues specific to audiovisual media within the context of older and emerging socio-spatial configurations of production, and to explore ways in which media might be used to portray (to animate, if you will) these configurations.
Popular discourse (e.g., in the mainstream news media) about the global circulation of media texts and the global dispersion of media production and of information and communication technology (ICT)-enabled work celebrates global mobility as a positive and progressive force. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman has vocally championed outsourcing to companies in India and China as an example of how the world has become "flat" in the era of "Globalization 3.0."[iii] Such approbatory rhetoric, however, often disregards the material concerns and exploitation of human subjects that are involved in transnational production circuits in the digital and information economies. Scholars in various fields across the humanities and social sciences, such as cinema and media studies, anthropology, sociology, communication, and geography, have addressed this elision by foregrounding the material aspects of mediated mobilities through work on geographical nodes of media production,[iv] offshore ICT-enabled labor,[v] physical migration and border crossings,[vi] the global export of electronic waste,[vii] and material infrastructures of media piracy.[viii]
Drawing on the rich diversity of scholarship that anchors mediated mobilities to specific sites of labor and laboring bodies, this issue provides a much-needed space to scrutinize some of the manifold ways in which media, labor, and mobility intersect. We believe that the symbiosis of the three terms within the contents of this issue opens many possible paths for reimagining the boundaries between materiality and immateriality; play and work; interactivity and control; production, consumption, and distribution; entertainment and exploitation; online and offline activities; and secular and spiritual practices. Yet while distinctions between "manual" and "mental" work (and between work and non-work) may have blurred, they have not collapsed altogether. Despite the extensive theorization of creative, digital, user-driven, immaterial, and affective labor,[ix] the productive activities that these concepts encompass often continue not to be recognized or valued as such even by the laborers themselves or by those that benefit from their labor (as in the case of free, user-created applications on social networks). Also, a misplaced emphasis on the "dematerialization" or "disembodiment" of such forms of labor not only effaces the materiality of the objects that are produced, the sites and circumstances of production, and the medium itself, it also disavows the multiple capacities in which mediated bodies and subjects (such as, in the contents of this issue, Asian "iPhone girls," Congolese children who mine the coltan used in electronic devices, TSA agents, and "virtual assistants") are made productive. Therefore, the material elements of the labor that undergirds the digital and information economies—bodily effects, site specificities, physical infrastructures, tangible inputs and outputs—must not be overlooked or cloaked under a rhetoric of abstraction, automation, and affect.
In this issue, media scholars, anthropologists, filmmakers, artists, and industry specialists ponder a range of conceptions of labor, taking into account modes of production, consumption, (co-)creation, participation, and exchange that characterize digital technologies and spaces in a global information economy. In some cases, contributors to this issue explore forms of labor that create and circulate media products via various media technologies and modes of mediation, including digital filmmaking, screening and surveillance technologies (backscatter X-rays), gaming consoles, virtual worlds (Second Life), digital media devices (iPhones), visual effects production, and telematics (virtual assistant services). In other cases, contributors take up the possibilities of audiovisual media for representing labor and reflect on the ethical responsibilities of (and their own work as) artists in constructing these representations. All contributors consider ways in which the forms of labor they address constitute and are constitutive of different modes of mobility and immobility—economic, social, physical, geographical—that are not always desired, and at times forced (as in the case of migrant workers and refugees).
In their multifarious approaches to the topic at hand, the contents of this issue indicate the significance of interrogating media, labor, and mobility together for all of us that produce, consume, communicate, and seek out sources of pleasure, profit, and meaning within the contemporary global mediascape. The controversy surrounding artist-activist Ricardo Dominguez's Transborder Immigrant Tool, a global positioning system application installed on low-cost mobile phones that guides immigrants crossing the US-Mexico border on foot to safety, points to the stakes that can come into play at the points at which media, labor, and mobility join up—citizenship, the uses of technology, and life itself.[x] While Banksy's Simpsons sequence offered a fun and striking glimpse into the dark underbelly of outsourcing creative labor, its critique lacks subversive bite, couched as it is in exaggerated imagery and ironic humor. The sequence begs the question, what to do with this recognition of globally dispersed labor and its technological mediations? This exploratory issue of Media Fields Journal only begins to undertake the ongoing, vital task of attending to this pressing question. We anticipate that the assemblage of perspectives that we present here will generate multiple entry points for pinpointing and theorizing the material concerns of mediated bodies and subjects in a globalized workforce.

Well, it's been two months and once again Engadget has the latest scoop on the PlayStation Phone. Currently sporting a Sony Ericsson branding, the device is still in its prototype stages with an expected release in 2011 -- although a late 2010 release might still be possible. Nearly dead-on with the specs, Engadget reports the phone features a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 with 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, and a screen ranging from 3.7 to 4.1 inches. The game controls are pure PlayStation with a long touchpad in the center. There's no Memory Stick slot, but microSD cards will be covered.
All in all, if the purported bugs are ironed out, this device has the potential to level the playing field in smartphone gaming. Apple may have a large variety, but there's only so many ways you can use a buttonless touchscreen for games. Current Android devices benefit from being open, but a dedicated marketplace could usher in more sophisticated developers and, in turn, hardcore gamers.
Basically, if the Nintendo DS also had smartphone capabilities with the backing of an exploding consumer and developer base, that would be this phone.
Again, this does not look like another N-Gage.

Lack of information, unawareness, and the infectious nature of Hepatitis C have, sadly contributed to the stigma associated with it, effecting jobs and relationships. The unfounded fear of hepatitis C spreading through physical contact or shared glasses leads to people having the disease being shunned and made to feel ashamed. Hepatitis C is also linked to drug abuse.
Ignorance and general apathy to drug users adds to the stigma. Though there are several ways in which one can be infected with the hepatitis C virus, the common assumption is that one who has hepatitis C must be injecting drugs.
The stigma associated with hepatitis C not only damages self esteem, but also causes depression, impairs mental health, reduces social support and at times, access to health care. Stigma: Hepatitis C and Drug Abuse by Astone-Twerell, Strauss, and Munoz-Plaza describes the damage which may be caused by this shunning or isolation from main stream society .

Whatever happened to "unearned income"?
That used to be the normal term for income from investments — dividends, interest and capital gains.
For some, that term produced images of "coupon clippers," another term you don't hear much anymore. The coupons in question were not the kind that get you 25 cents off on Jell-O at the grocery store. They were the ones that came attached to bonds in a precomputer age. To get your interest payment every six months, you literally had to clip off the coupon and take it to your bank.
More than half a century ago, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower proposed taxing dividends at lower rates than wages, Representative John W. McCormack, a Massachusetts Democrat who later was to become speaker of the House, was outraged.
"The Republican tax bill is indefensible in that portion which gives great benefits to corporations and constitutes a bonanza to stockholders, the larger ones in particular," he said in 1954. "It is unjust and in my opinion morally wrong to make a person with earned income pay considerably more in taxes than persons with unearned income from dividends."
That tax fight ended with a benefit for small shareholders, who would escape tax on the first $50 a year of dividends. But annual dividends above that amount remained fully taxable at ordinary income tax rates, which ranged up to 91 percent. Mr. Eisenhower's proposal to cut the rates on such payouts was rejected.Continue reading the main story
Not until 2003 were dividend tax rates reduced below ordinary income tax rates. Then they were cut to 15 percent, the same as the capital gains rate.
For most of the history of income taxes in America, long-term capital gains — defined at different times as investments held for minimum periods of as little as six months and as long as 10 years — have been taxed at substantially lower rates than top ordinary income tax rates.
There was, in fact, only one time that capital gains were taxed at the same rates that were paid by people who earned their money by working. That was during the years 1988 to 1990, as a result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 — a law championed by President Ronald Reagan.
To be sure, he changed his mind about unearned income in 1988. After Vice President George H. W. Bush, then campaigning to succeed Mr. Reagan, endorsed lowering capital gains taxes, the president allowed that might be a good idea. Mr. Bush and the Congress did lower them after he was elected.
These days, the conventional way to look at taxes on investments is to think they should be low to stimulate investment and thus help the economy. It is a view that has much more support in economic theory than in economic history.
Correlation is not causation, of course, but the economy has tended to do the best when taxes on unearned income were high. Economic growth was great during the 1950s, when dividends were taxed at very high levels and capital gains rates were 25 percent, much higher than they are now. Since 2003, tax rates on unearned income have been at their lowest levels ever, and economic growth has been sluggish.
Tax rates are not the reason for that, at least not directly. But it could be argued that low tax receipts now are having a pernicious impact, particularly on state and local governments. Their layoffs have been a drag on the recovery, and the declining quality of infrastructure in many areas has hurt many businesses. If the federal government taxed unearned income anywhere close to historical averages, there could have been a lot more tax money available to help out when the credit crisis hit.
There is no question that tax policy has had a major impact on investment, but its impact probably has been less in the overall level than in the allocation of investments.
Corporate profits, at least theoretically, are taxed twice, once when the company earns them and again when shareholders are taxed on their dividend payments. But interest payments to bondholders are deductible to the corporation, unlike the dividends it pays to shareholders. As a result, there has been an incentive to finance companies with as much debt, and as little equity, as possible. That maximizes return on equity in good times, and allows companies to plausibly claim they will raise profits much more rapidly than sales. But it also makes bankruptcies more likely when the economy falters. The Eisenhower tax policy that outraged Representative McCormack was intended to reduce that incentive a little, by reducing slightly the rates on dividend income. Had it passed, it probably would have had little impact.
The most interesting effort to end double taxation of dividends came from President George W. Bush in 2003. He proposed that dividend payments be tax-free — but only if the company could show that the dividends were being paid out of profits on which federal income taxes had in fact been paid.
That proposal caused something close to panic among some business lobbyists. Had it been carried out effectively — and it was evident that the Bush administration had not thought through all the details before announcing the proposal — the result would have been that companies that pay taxes would have been able to offer tax-advantaged payouts, while those that managed to lobby for loopholes would have had to tell shareholders that they could get no such tax break. Shares in taxpaying companies would have outperformed shares in others, at least until a new equilibrium was reached.
The Bush proposal quickly was changed to simply lower the rate on dividends to 15 percent, the same as the new capital gains rate. Before that, the maximum tax on dividends had been nearly 40 percent, while the capital gains rate went as high as 21.2 percent. Share owners get a break whether or not the profits being paid out were actually taxed at the corporate level.
This history came to mind this week when Mitt Romney told a news conference that his effective tax rate was probably around 15 percent. That makes sense, since he gets a lot of his income from "carried interest" on private equity investments, which is taxed at capital gains rates even though the executives who get those payments typically made no actual investment, and are instead being compensated for their work in putting together and managing the investments. Mr. Romney, a founder of Bain Capital, continued to share in those payouts long after he left the company. Until he offers more information, there is no way to know how much of his income came from actual investments, as opposed to carried interest.
It does seem odd that those who work for their money generally pay higher tax rates than those who simply collect investment income. It also seems odd that those who work in that one industry — private equity — get to pay lower rates than those who work in other businesses.
Perhaps Mr. Romney's ability to pay little in taxes will evoke interest in the issue this year. Whoever wins the presidential election, the country's deficit problems could provide an opportunity for the most serious tax reform since Mr. Reagan's 1986 tax act. That law lowered rates while reducing exceptions and loopholes, so that lower rates could produce as much money as the previous higher ones had brought in. It also ended the preferred tax status of unearned income.
It was a good idea then. It may be a better one now.Continue reading the main story

Interview with STALIN, GABO and GEE, producers of Mad Ciphas TV show - Mar 14, 2005
Were street A&Rs, so if a label comes along and is interested in an artist that they found through our show, then were going to charge them a finders fee,says Stalin, Gabo and Gee, producers for the New York City TV show Mad Ciphas. The show airs performances of unsigned hip hop artists every Sunday night at 10:00 P.M. and can also be seen on the website, www.madciphas.com.
Since the show began in 2000, artists such as Jae Millz (now signed to Universal/Wanna Blow), J.R. Writer, Jae Hood, Shells, and Immortal Technique have started off their careers on the show.
Who came up with the show, and whats the idea behind it?
Stalin came up with the idea. We knew a bunch of people that could rap, and we wanted to give them the exposure they deserved. And what better way to do so than through public access television, since it allows us to have creative control of our own show.
Was there a need for a new forum for talents?
Yeah, the show was something that was needed. If it werent for mix-tapes and DJs who give upcoming artists a chance to be heard then it would be even more difficult for gifted talents to have their voices heard. This show provides them with an outlet, a means towards fulfilling their dreams.
How is the show organized?
The show airs for half an hour. No commercials. Its broken up into two segments, and we feature as many as ten artists every week. Stalin makes the edit, and Gabo and Gee are the hosts. During the segments we talk about whats going on with the show, and promote events or the available CD releases by the artists.
Are you also artists, as well as doing the show?
No, we only produce the show.
Do you actively look for new artists, or do you get demos sent to you?
It works both ways; we search for new artists, and new artists look for us. Then we decide whether they have what it takes to be on the show.
What does it take to be on the show?
Youve got to have the right skills. We can tell the first time we hear and see an artist whether they have what it takes. So far weve been successful in our judgment - artists such as Jae Millz, J.R. Writer, Jae Hood, Shells, and Immortal Technique have all started off their careers on our show.
When you discover artists, do you profit from it?
When we first started doing the show we did it out of love for music, but now we have a business mind-state. Were street A&Rs, so if a record label comes along and is interested in getting in touch with an artist that they found through our show, and then were going to charge them a finders fee when a record deal is signed.
Do artists bring their own beats or DJs along to the show?
The artists either bring instrumentals or beats provided to them by a producer. We encourage them to bring original beats, since that allows us to feature both upcoming artists and producers at the same time.
Is it hard to break a Hip Hop artist?
If an artist is determined and has the right skills they will go far, and its not hard to break them. For instance, Jae Millz from Harlem was on the show every week for two straight years, generating a buzz, which made him able to sit down and meet a couple of label executives.
Hes currently signed to Universal Records/Wanna Blow and also made appearances on mix-tapes, and MTVs Making the Band. That goes to show that if you have an objective and you follow through on your goals then you have a very good chance of making it. Our show provides the opportunity that many upcoming artists are looking for - exposure.
Besides being a good rapper, what other skills does it take to be successful?
You have to practice and go to as many open-mic sessions at clubs as you can in order to get a feel of what other people think of your skills. An artist must stay focused and be willing to make sacrifices in order to fulfill their dream. They also need to have a supportive team that will keep them focused and away from negativity.
What are major record labels looking for?
The presence, voice and creativity of the artist are important. Also, an artist must come up with their own original songs.
Is it important to be small and exclusive at the beginning?
Yes, its important, because people will respect you more if you generate a buzz in your hometown and then expand. They can relate to an artist who works hard and is determined. For example, T-Rex from Harlem, is another artist who started his career on our show over three years ago and is now appearing on magazine covers and getting the recognition he deserves.
Any artist whos come through our show and moved on towards being successful makes us proud, and fulfills what the show sets out to do, which is to provide artists with the opportunity to be seen and heard.
Is it possible for a record company to develop Hip Hop artists in the same way that they produce pop artists?
No, its impossible for a record company to develop a Hip Hop artist from scratch. You cant pick a regular guy or girl from somewhere, give them a microphone and clothes, and hope that theyll be a Hip Hop artist. It takes a lot of work. We think that, for example, Britney Spears is fabricated and isnt a real artist. Hip Hop is an art that takes a lot of work, and years to master.
No one becomes an overnight celebrity; they have to pay their dues. A good example is Twista, whos been in the Hip Hop scene for over a decade and is just now starting to get the recognition that he deserves. You must have your own exclusive style, and in order to be successful you have to be able to relate to your listeners.
Being real is a keyword in Hip Hop. How can artists develop their own authenticity?
Music comes from your soul. You cant follow another persons lead. You have to become your own leader and find your abilities within yourself. If you freestyle or release a song you must make sure that you give 100% at all times, because listeners are very judgmental, and as an artist you have to approach each song or freestyle as if its your first time, with the hunger that got you into that position. An artist should never get too comfortable, because they can easily be replaced.
Can people separate the artist from the person behind the artist?
Yeah, people can separate the artist from the person because the artist can be exposed by those who know them. You cant come out talking about things you havent seen or done. If you want to speak about it you might as well have seen it or done it, because Hip Hop is a lifestyle and its based on life experience. So you have to keep it real.
If you could change anything in the music business, what would it be?
Right now the music business is very profitable, but people shouldnt forget where Hip Hop came from, or the artists that paved the way for others. Some new artists and fans dont know anything about the history of Hip Hop, and that needs to be changed. More Hip Hop fans should take Hip Hop 101 and get their education.
When Hip Hop became mainstream in the 1980s it was free, creative, expressive and humorous, and you did what you wanted. Nowadays everything is so serious, and the big corporations that regulate things want artists to have a certain sound or a certain look. This approach takes away from the creativity that originated in the 80s and early 90s and that is lacking from some of the new artists around today.
In what musical direction do you think Hip Hop will develop in the future?
A lot of artists are sampling old 60s records now. Hip Hop is constantly changing and it never stays heading in one direction for a long time. Personally, we believe that more live instruments will be used in the future. The Roots have been doing this for years. This will allow artists to further expand their stage presence and performance.
What are your future plans for the show?
We want to have the show on a major network, and take trips across the States or other countries looking for new artists. Maybe the doors will open up for us to be A&Rs at a record label.
We also want to release volumes of the best footage from the show since it started, so look out for the Best of Mad Ciphas DVD coming soon!

Single women and lesbian couples may soon be eligible for IVF treatment in the UK, after the government hinted that it planned to scrap the requirement of a father for IVF treatment.
Currently, doctors advising women on IVF treatment are required to consider the need for a father in the welfare of the child, but health minister Caroline Flint told MPs yesterday that this rule was likely to be dropped.
The move could clear the way for single women and lesbian couples to receive IVF treatment, although Ms Flint was keen to stress that the government's position did not mean that fathers were not important.
Speaking to the Commons science and technology committee, She also said that the Department of Health would aim to tighten IVF laws to prevent parents from being able to select the sex of their child through embryo selection except on health grounds.
Some genetically transmitted conditions, such as haemophilia, largely affect only males, making gender selection before birth desirable for families with the history of the disease.
Changes to the laws affecting the use of embryos are expected to be announced later this year.
