Florida Medtronic Recall Death Lawsuits
On October 14, 2007, Medtronic, Inc. announced a recall due to a defect in its Sprint Fidelis cardiac leads (thin wires) that are utilized to connect an implantable pacemaker or defibrillator directly to the heart. The following day, the New York Times published an article claiming that the flaw in this lead wire has caused numerous device malfunctions. Furthermore, five defibrillator patients may have died as a result of this malfunction. Medtronic has stated in a press release that since the Sprint Fidelis was unveiled in 2004, roughly 200,000 U.S. patients have received this lead. The following models of the Sprint Fidelis have been recalled and are potentially defective:
- 6930
- 6931
- 6948
- 6949
If you had a pacemaker or defibrillator lead implanted since 2004, you should check your device identification card for one of the model numbers listed above. If you have a Sprint Fidelis lead, or are uncertain as to whether you have an affected lead, then you should immediately make an appointment with your doctor to check for any fracture in the wire that could potentially result in unnecessary defibrillator shocks or, even worse, the life-threatening failure of your pacemaker or defibrillator to function when therapy is necessary. It is especially important that you contact your physician if you have experienced symptoms of multiple shocks, lightheadedness, fainting, or palpitations. Moreover, you should be aware that many patients have a Sprint Fidelis lead manufactured by Medtronic even though their cardiac device was manufactured by another company such as Guidant, Boston Scientific, or St. Jude.
Medtronic believes that between 4,000 and 5,000 patients with the faulty Sprint Fidelis component could suffer a lead fracture within 30 months of receiving the implant. The information serving as the basis of this statement was compiled from two studies carried out over a 30-month period that monitored the Sprint Fidelis. The New York Times reports that Medtronic is encouraging all physicians to cease using the Sprint Fidelis in its patients. However, Medtronic is refusing to pay for the replacement of properly functioning Sprint Fidelis leads, even though such leads are included on the recall list. With support from the Food and Drug Administration, Medtronic has discontinued the sale of the Sprint Fidelis lead and is recalling any that are not in use.
The Morgan & Morgan team of product liability lawyers is currently accepting cases of pacemaker and defibrillator patients with an implanted Sprint Fidelis lead, regardless of whether the lead has malfunctioned. We are accepting individual (not class action) cases in all 50 states. If you or someone you know has the Sprint Fidelis lead now, or has had trouble with the Sprint Fidelis lead in the past resulting in lead replacement surgery, don't hesitate to contact us immediately to discuss a potential claim.

Boomer Esiason on D&C: Mark Sanchez 'like a chihuahua'
|01.04.12 at 4:39 pm ET
CBS Sports NFL analyst Boomer Esiason made his weekly appearance on the Dennis & Callahan show Wednesday morning to discuss a wide range of topics, including the New York Jets and their quarterback situation. Boomer has come under fire in New York for his comments on Jets QB Mark Sanchez.
When asked about the the possibility of Peyton Manning being traded to the Jets, Esiason responded, "Everywhere you look, that's what they're saying. But first of all, we don't even know if Peyton's able to play. If Peyton is able to play and the new general manager and whoever they hire to run that team out there decides to go without Peyton Manning, then I'm sure that the Jets will be sniffing around. Because that's what the Jets do. They're trying to find their Tom Brady. They're trying to find their Aaron Rodgers. And I don't think in their mind they think that they feel like they've found the kid. If you watched Mark Sanchez the last month of the season, he was like a chihuahua standing on Madison Avenue and 36th Street entering the Midtown Tunnel, eyes bigger than you-know-what, and just so shaky."
Hear the entire conversation by clicking right here. Esiason's comments on Sanchez begin at the 10-minute mark.

Thirty years after meeting in City Pages, gay couple plans to wed
The personal ad that brought Sawatzke and Johnson together.
courtesy Randy Sawatzke
In early December of 1983, Randy Sawatzke was lonely. He decided to take out a personal ad, his first one ever, in City Pages. "I'm looking for a gay white male... [who] wants to go places and do things together," he wrote. "Someone who normally doesn't answer ads."

He got "more than one hundred replies," he remembers today, but at first, answered only two of them. Then he got a note hand-written, in cursive, on a sheet of loose-leaf paper. The letter-writer confessed that he had never responded to an ad before, and that "no one else besides you and I know that I am gay."
A close-up of the ad that started it all. Click to enlarge.
"Thank you for writing your ad the way you did," the letter-writer continued. "It gave me the courage to write. Maybe this could start a life for me I never thought possible."
It did. Thirty years after Sawatzke ran his ad in City Pages, he and the letter-writer, Jeff Johnson, are still together. In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's DOMA ruling last week, which struck down the 1996 law that prevented the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages, the couple is now planning to wed.
When Sawatzke saw Johnson's reply to his ad, he wrote him back immediately: at 1:50 a.m. on December 11, 1983, the time stamp on his letter reveals. It had been just four days since his personal had appeared in City Pages.
"Dear Jeff," Sawatzke's response started. "BINGO!! I'm so excited I don't even know where to begin!"
The next night, the two men met at the hotel where Sawatzke worked at the time, the since-closed Fair Oaks Motor-Hotel and Restaurant, kitty-corner from the MIA. They talked about their mutual affection for country music, and they've been together ever since.
The couple now lives in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where Johnson works for the local television station. Sawatzke has always referred to Johnson as his life partner, but on Wednesday, when the Supreme Court decision broke, he started letting himself think about marriage.
"We had talked about it, but I said, 'You know, I don't want to even think about it until the Supreme Court comes back with its decision, because you get your hopes all up," Sawatzke says. Now, though, the two are planning a Minneapolis wedding in December, on the 30th anniversary of when they met.
Twenty years into their relationship, Sawatzke needed a kidney transplant. He has 10 brothers and sisters, but none of his siblings had an organ that would work for him. Instead, Johnson offered Sawatzke his own kidney. He was a perfect match.
When they met in 1983, Sawatzke was 29 and Johnson was 21.

The time machine had malfunctioned for the second time, and now a tyrannosaurus rex stomped around the research bay chomping on the low hanging fluorescent lights.
"Those bulbs are hazardous if not disposed of properly," Dr. Batkiss declared as she pushed the black-rimmed glasses with wide, black lenses up the bridge of her nose. "Be careful not to inhale the gas—it's quite toxic."
I didn't stop what I was doing, which was trying to open up the weapons cabinet before getting eaten by the Jurassic era's alpha predator, when I asked her what needed to be asked. "There's a dinosaur fifteen feet from consuming us, and you're worried about the fluorescent light bulbs?"
"I pity you for not having pride in your workplace." Dr. Batkiss tsk'ed me and shook her head in those short condescending shakes that feel like being corrected by your mom in the middle of the toy store.
The tyrannosaur roared as bulbs from one light fixture fell and popped in concussive waves of broken glass and hisses of escaping argon and mercury. Instead of staying put as he was told, one of the interns screamed and darted from his research cubicle.
I'll give him credit. Maybe the kid played some football or ran some track. He made it a good twenty, maybe twenty-five feet before the tyrannosaur got him. I can't blame the dinosaur because the kid was screaming his head off. I mean, come on. We've all seen some strange, strange things in this lab. What's one dinosaur more? The kid was clearly overreacting.
The tyrannosaurus leaned over and ate the intern whole. One quick bite. At that point I was convinced that this invader to my workplace was female. I quickly dubbed the dinosaur "Stephanie" after an ex-girlfriend who consumed my soul in quite the same manner.
It became clearer to me now. I had to send Stephanie packing. She didn't belong in this lab, and I was running out of interns.
"Can't you get that weapons locker open?" Dr. Mafuni screamed. Like he could do a better job. I'm the sixth smartest person on the planet. Mafuni's only twenty-third. And from what I hear some fifteen-year old Indian girl from Alipurduar was about to take his spot.
I ignored Mafuni bout couldn't help notice Batkiss still watching me. Her eyes followed along as I fumbled with the lock. She did this to me once before. In bed. That's right, she paid more attention to my technique than being absorbed in the heat of the moment. Next time you get the bright idea to hit on a scientist remember one thing: if she's not judging you on what you're doing, she's thinking up 3.1417 ways that you could be doing it better. No wonder scientists are always such a lonely lot.
A large crash alerted me that Stephanie was getting closer. I turned for only a moment to see another intern become a snack. Poor kid. Out of all the interns, he bothered me the least. She was the one with all the little Pokemon figures lining her cubicle. I wonder if I could grab some of them before anyone cleans them out. My nieces would die for her Polywhirl.
"I got it," I said. It was stupid because I swung the doors of the cabinet wide open. Nothing like being so damned obvious when you're trying to be so damned heroic.
Dr. Batkiss brushed past me and reached in to grab the Tesla-Senior. This gun had the longest barrel of all the rifles, and the polished stainless steel reflected what little lights that Stephanie had not yet knocked down.
"Figures you'd grab that one," I said to Batkiss.
She cocked the weapon and sneered. "This is hardly a time to make Freudian quips. And I'll give it back when I'm done."
"No, you can keep it."
"No, you need me to fix the time portal. I can't have the sixth smartest person tinkering with my machine."
Mafuni screamed.
"Look, you beat me by three measly points."
Batkiss charged the weapon; it hummed as the coils filled with energy. "But I still beat you."
Mafuni screamed. Again.
Stephanie had made her way right to us. Her tail swooped back and forth, and I cringed each time it came close to snapping the ion acceleration manifold on the weather changer. She raised her feathered head and had knocked hard against the roof. I sighed because I would have to get that Philipino guy that I can't understand out to realign them. I hate calling that guy.
I grabbed the best weapon left in the cabinet—it was a Higgs-Bosun mark four. Inside a small container marked "WARNING: In Case of Dinosaur Threats" was a hunk of meat. We recycled it out every couple of days by putting the old meat in the "WARNING: In Case Of Zombie Threats" container. That reminds me, I need to restock both since that last incident.
Anyway, I stuffed the slab of beef in Mafuni's collar and kicked him. Hard. He stumbled forward, landing right at Stephanie's feet.
Stephanie stopped and smelled the air. Her nostril pulled big gulps as they honed in on the source of the teasing aroma. She looked down and found it—attached to the smartest man in Asia but the third smartest person in the room.
And he was pissing himself. No kidding. A small pool of urine collected on the floor next to his moccasins. Some people just can't rationalize simple situations.
Mafuni collected his wits enough to run. Or maybe it was just adrenaline kicking in. I didn't care, but unfortunately, he ran right for me. "No, you fool. Run that way." I pointed down the hallway to the zero gravity chamber and break room. I had been working on the Lego version of the Millenium Falcon and was seventy-four bricks away from making the Kessel run in under ten parsecs. Whatever that means. If things went wrong, I would have to start over. But it was a sacrifice I was willing to make.
Mafuni somehow heard me and waddled down the hallway. Stephanie, like the good tyrannosaurus that she was, gave chase. Batkiss held up five fingers to remind me of her world ranking and ran where Stephanie had just been.
So it was up to me to keep the dinosaur occupied and having some Asian food. I readied the Higgs-Bosun mark four and hit the activate button. The previous three models, when tested, disappeared into nothingness like Schrödinger's cat at the opening of the box. From near as I could figure, the anti-matter induction cores were malfunctioning. I made the interns swear not to tell Batkiss because she would offer a solution. And she would probably be right. Well, at least the interns can't tell her anymore.
Stephanie cornered Mafuni by the break room. He knocked over the vending machine in the hopes that Hershey Bars and Kit Kats would satiate the dinosaur's taste buds. As the vending machine fell, it clipped the table that was my temporary Mos Eisley and sent the Millenium Falcon crashing to the floor, disassembling like the atoms in a fission reactor.
"Mafuni, I'm docking your pay. And you need to buy me the Lego Star Destroyer, too." I added that last part because I remembered that this was my lab. Some times you have to be the boss.
"Help me," he cried. Literally. Tears were running down his fat face.
"You need to distract it. Dr. Batkiss will require at least seven point nine-six--"
"Got it," Batkiss called from the other side of the lab. "And your computational skills match those of someone who deserves to be the sixth smartest person on the planet."
That Batkiss really knows how to hurt me.
I brought the Higgs-Bosun mark four to the ready. I took aim. I squeezed the trigger.
Reality—both time and space—slowed down in a circular area about the size of the splash pool at Six Flag's Atlantis. The weapon jerked from my arms exploded outward, and opened a rift in the fabric of the universe.
I peered into the tear. Inside I could make out a figure. My height. My weight. He wore the same white lab coat with the same Voltron t-shirt underneath. But it was scaly. Reptilian. It was a dinosaur version of me. He looked over and saw my dinosaur on the loose. I peered down his hallway and saw a giant, naked human woman wrecking his lab.
Simultaneously we nodded. Only once. Twice would mean we're gay and I'm not indicating to the sauropod version of myself that I want to suck his dinosaur dick. One nod meant good luck. We both would need it.
The rift closed with a pop like the explosion of a potato chip bag. Mafuni stood shaking and soiled amidst the broken glass and candy bars. Even Stephanie the tyrannosaurus rex perked up an eyebrow as if to ask what the hell had just happened.
"I can fix your little gun," Batkiss called out from down the way.
Damnit, why did she have to see that?
"Come on," I screamed at Stephanie. "I know you women are all alike." I pointed to my chest. "My heart is still beating. Don't you want to tear it out?"
Stephanie charged for me.
I made my way through the debris of the lab and headed for the open time portal. Sulfurous air tickled my nose. A blast of heat hit me like a Florida afternoon. Batkiss had managed to get the portal open and aimed at the right time to send the tyrannosaurus back home. Now I had to get Stephanie out of my life. Again.
As the dinosaur gained full speed I ran off to the side and hid under the particle reducer. Perplexed that its prey had vanished, the tyrannosaur skidded to a halt on the freshly waxed tile floor. She waved her tiny, useless arms and sniffed the air. Her snout aimed right at my hiding place.
Stephanie, jaws open and drooling buckets of saliva at the thought of consuming me once and for all, opened her mouth and leaned in to eat the particle reducer and me in one swift shot. She got so close that I could see the tattered white lab scrubs that were standard issue for the interns caught in between light-saber sized teeth.
Stephanie roared. I swore knowing I was going to die not having finished the Lego Millenium Falcon. Man, that sucked.
And Batkiss shot the dinosaur right in the ass with the Tesla-Senior. The shock had been so potent that Stephanie, fearing another blast, gladly bolted right through the time portal and back to the safety of her own time.
Batkiss powered down the machine. The room was quiet for a moment before I heard the familiar click of Batkiss' Italian shoes on the tile floor. The rhythmic cadence was slow and stead like a metronome. I was about to get one hell of an "I told you so's" from Batkiss. Again.
She stopped at the particle reducer, leaned over, and called out after me. "You can come out now."
"I wasn't hiding. I'm recalibrating the particle reducer."
"No you aren't."
"Yes, I am."
Batkiss leaned the Tesla-Senior against the wall so she could fold her arms and pout. "It's a phase shift modulator in a gelatinous conductive colloid. There are no moving parts to calibrate."
"Everyone okay?" Mafuni said as he peered around the corner to see if it was dinosaur free once again.
"Mafuni, you are the most worthless particle-physicist ever to come out of Osaka," I said as I pulled myself out from under the machine.
I felt kind of bad saying that, but from what I understand Mafuni's father talks to him the same way.
"What do we do now?" Mafuni said as he looked over all the wreckage and the now empty intern cubicles.
"Two choices," I advised my colleagues. "You can either stay here and clean the lab or come get inebriated with me. This is going to be a bad one. I estimate by eleven o'clock I will go home and eat half my niece's birthday cake, feel deep regret, and then drunk dialing my ex before the night is through. Who's with me?"
"I'll get the broom," Batkiss said.
"And I'll mop," Mafuni added.
"I hate you guys."
Batkiss waved her five fingers as I left to get drunk.

Very sad state of affairs. IndyCar is nowadays like F1 where contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on. The sadder thing is that if Im not mistaken, this is the 'lass' (Katherine) who had the huge CART shunt a good few years ago (in which she was lucky not to be killed) somewhere in the US. Clearly she doesnt deserve this but its gone beyond a 'sport' now. Its a cut throat commercial jungle. I wish Kath the best.

After receiving heaps of praise for his thin-crust pizzas at Beacon, chef Waldy Malouf opened this 15-seat pizza parlor to properly showcase his beloved pies. We can confirm that his shop is sending out the same quality specimens, which arrive on long boards right out of a massive wood-burning oven. But we"re not sure you"ll want to hang around to enjoy them: The place feels like a Cosi sandwich shop inside. It"s located on a desolate block in the garment district; salads come in black take-away ramekins (even if you"re eating in); and the lighting is so bright that it almost highlights every bead of sweat on the guys shelling pies in and out of the oven"s fiery maw. Nevertheless, the beer is cold (a Brooklyn Brewery pilsner and pale ale are available on tap) and the pizzas are naturally tasty; a thin base is by turns crisp and chewy, and loaded with organic ingredients like braised lamb, proscuitto and sunny-side-up eggs. Our favorite was the white pie, slathered with snowy white ricotta and generously sprinkled with crunchy breadcrumbs and clams. Your best option is to scarf one down at the long counter in front or pick up a pie to go.

May 23 – 31, 2014
If you want to come to Asheville, NC, to tour the Biltmore Estate or hike the mountains, you can come anytime. But if you want to come to Asheville to sample the local beer selections, the best time is the last week in May. Why? That's when the 3rd Annual Asheville Beer Week takes place.
Beer City USA
The hype about Asheville beer began in 2009 when the city was first crowned "Beer City USA" on a national poll by Examiner.com. Asheville edged out Portland, Oregon, a much larger metropolis, for the title. Asheville went on to win four consecutive Beer City USA titles. And in 2103, CNN named Asheville one of the eight best beer towns in the U.S.
To celebrate the victory in 2009, the Beer City Festival was quickly organized. It became such a rousing success that it's now held annually. This year's 5th Annual Beer City Fest will be held on May 31, which not coincidentally is the last day of Asheville Beer Week, which runs May 23 to 31.
Asheville, A Beer Destination
Asheville has become a tourist destination solely because of its beer. Microbreweries and brewpubs have sprung up faster than mushrooms on a rainy day. Major breweries like Sierra Nevada and New Belgium have already started construction on facilities in and around Asheville.
Asheville is already home to the famous Brewgrass Festival and Oktoberfest, but that's just the foam on the glass. More events are poured onto the social calendar every year. Here's a sampling of the local beer-related enterprises:
- The Amazing Pubcycle
- Asheville Pizza and Brewing
- Barley's Taproom
- The Bier Garden
- Bruisin' Ales
- French Broad Brewery
- Green Man Brewery
- Highland Brewing
- Lexington Ave Brewery
- Oskar Blues Brewing
- Thirsty Monk
- The Wedge Brewery
- Wicked Weed Brewing
Asheville Beer Week
This year's events will take place all across the city. Many of the happenings require no admission fee, although you'll have to pay for your drinks. Last year's events featured a LaZoom bus tour and beer run, beer showcases, specialty beer merchandise, beer especially brewed for the event, brewery tours, panel discussions, taste-a-thons, and fundraising fests.
Your mileage may vary, since it's near impossible to attend every event during the week. The staff at Asheville Cabins of Willow Winds urges our guests to drink responsibly and not to drink and drive. Luckily, your luxury mountain cabin is so close to downtown that it's just an inexpensive cab ride away.

Matching Plans Bolster Aid For Tsunami Victims
Corporate matches drive up tsunami donations.
International relief agencies say employee contributions matched by corporate donations are helping to drive an unprecedented outpouring of money and support to help the victims of the tsunami disaster in South Asia.
"We have never seen anything like this," Susan Schroeter, managing director of corporate partnerships and alliances for UNICEF, says of the size of contributions from employees and corporations. UNICEF received $45.5 million in cash and pledges in just over two weeks after the Dec. 26 disaster. Corporations contributed $14 million of that, she says. The previous high for corporate contributions to the agency was $2 million, which it received after a devastating earthquake in Gujarat, India, in 2001, Schroeter says.
Both UNICEF and CARE USA report receiving contributions from many companies that had never contributed to international relief campaigns before. Marshall Burke, vice president of private support for CARE USA, says his relief agency had raised $21 million by mid-January—$5.4 million of that from corporate sources. By contrast, CARE took in $8.2 million over six months in 1999 in the aftermath of the genocide in Kosovo, he says. The agency hopes to raise $50 million for tsunami relief.
"A lot of that is being driven by the corporate matching campaigns," Burke says. "There are literally dozens of corporations, large and small, doing matching campaigns."
Overall, more than $400 million had been raised by relief organizations by mid-January, an amount that exceeded the $350 million pledged by the U.S. government up to that point, according to The Chronicle of Philanthropy. The American Red Cross raised $173 million of the total amount going to relief organizations, and that is the largest amount received by an individual agency. The Chronicle said that while the overall pace of donations to tsunami victims was extraordinary, it trailed the more than $550 million raised to help victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks during the two weeks after that tragedy.
Companies are mostly matching their employees' contributions dollar for dollar. But some, like the Gap, are doing better than that, handing over $2 for every $1 contributed by employees. Some companies are setting limits on matches. Home Depot is matching gifts up to $1,000 per employee. JPMorgan Chase will match employee contributions up to $100,000 per gift. Crain Communications Inc., which publishes Workforce Management, is matching employee gifts on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
Matt Hirschland, director of research and communications for Business for Social Responsibility, which promotes corporate ethical values, says it is pushing its 300 member companies to contribute. "Our counsel to our members is to please give," Hirschland says. "There is a need."
Those involved in the money-raising drives cite many reasons for the outpouring of support by corporate donors. With globalization, many businesses have manufacturing plants and outlets in the devastated areas. Nike, which has factories in several of the stricken countries, made an early $1 million contribution to four aid groups and set up an employee matching program.
"There is a deep emotional response to the sheer scale of this tragedy," Burke says. "So many people are bereft, whole communities are gone, people are gone, schools are gone. For anyone who has lived on a coast or near a coast, there is a sense that there but by the grace of God go I."

In a note mailed to its Washington members, the NRA called for "URGENT" action to contact GOP Rep. Mike Hope, who works as a Seattle police officer and previously had the NRA's support. The group said Hope's vote could determine the fate of a "sweeping gun control measure."
Hope supports the background check plan, saying Tuesday it is a reasonable way to help keep guns away from violent criminals and the mentally ill. Hope said he's invited the NRA to help shape the bill and will propose changes to make it better.
"What frustrates me is that they're not really looking at that stuff," Hope said of the NRA. "They're just looking at a unilateral `no' to everything, and they're not looking for a solution."
Gun buyers already have to undergo a background check if they purchase from a federally licensed firearms dealer. The bill supported by Hope and many Democrats would expand that to sales between private parties, with Hope saying criminals purchase guns privately to avoid having to prove that they are legally allowed to own one.
Hope said he's received about 300 emails related to the gun bill and believes there are a lot of misconceptions about what it does. In the memo the NRA sent to its members, the group said the bill would have no impact on criminals and would be "the first steps toward universal registration of firearms and owners." It called the background checks plan "a massive regulatory scheme with huge burdens and obstacles."
Hope said the note is inaccurate. He said records of the background checks would not be maintained or part of a registration system. Under the bill, two people wanting to complete a transaction could go to their local gun shop or local law enforcement agency and pay for a background check of $20 or less.
NRA officials did not respond to requests for comment.
The background checks plan also has the support of Republican Sen. Steve Litzow and Senate Majority Leader Rodney Tom, a Democrat who has aligned himself with Republicans this year. House lawmakers will begin considering the measure Wednesday in a committee hearing.

Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn.Member, House Banking Committee
We face many challenges as a country, but after four years in Washington and a lifetime in business, I believe unsustainable spending habits and fiscal insolvency pose the greatest threat to our economic stability, freedom, way of life and future as a nation.
We are in real danger of becoming the first generation of Americans to leave our country in worse shape than we found it.
If that family applied Washington logic to its budgeting, the family would spend $71,500, in other words, $28,500 more than it earned.
In 43 presentations throughout Tennessee during the fall, I presented this information and shared my plans to introduce legislation to cap spending at a sustainable level, force Congress to make tough choices and incentivize economic growth.
The result is the Commitment to American Prosperity Act, S. 245.
The CAP Act, cosponsored by Senators Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.; Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.; Richard Burr, R-N.C.; Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.; Mike Crapo, R-Idaho; Jim Inhofe, R-Okla.; Johnny Isakson, R-Ga.; Mark Kirk, R-Ill.; Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.; and John McCain, R-Ariz., would, for the first time, set an across-the-board, binding cap on all federal spending.
The fiscal straitjacket created by the CAP Act would result in $7.6 trillion less spending over a 10-year period than projected current policy, and it would change the way Washington does business.
The beauty of the CAP Act is that it imposes fiscal discipline and smaller government, while incentivizing lawmakers to pass policies that promote economic growth.
Specifically, the CAP Act would:
Washington continues to borrow and spend, and despite the pleas of the American people, there is no end in sight. As we approach our debt limit of $14.29 trillion and more and more Americans – Republicans, Democrats and Independents – call on Washington to get spending under control and reduce our deficit, I see no better time to change course.
Cutting trillions of dollars from the federal budget in the coming years won't be easy or painless; it will require backbone and discipline on the part of policy makers and shared sacrifice for the country.
But I believe in American "exceptionalism." The American people, when they understand the stakes, have always risen to the occasion.
I believe Americans are signaling a willingness to make short-term sacrifices for the long-term good of our country and a demand for commensurate actions from their elected officials.

Even on a holiday weekend, the holdover specialized films--especially "Sleepwalk with Me"-- continued to prosper as the new ones opened badly . They boasted the lowest opening per-screen averages since the low-performing post-Christmas period. The three best new openers earned significant reaction at their Sundance premieres, but so far have failed to achieve the same level of ticket-buyer response.
The big story though is the second week of Mike Birbiglia's huge NY-opener "Sleepwalk With Me." A quick expansion yielded decent results even as it became available on Video on Demand, certain to be studied by the industry as a possible model.
Because of the four-day holiday, several films ( including "Compliance," "The Queen of Versailles," "Compliance" and "The Imposter") have not yet reported grosses.
"For a Good Time, Call..." (Focus) - Metacritic score: 58; Festivals include: Sundance 12
$141,361 in 23 theaters; PSA (per screen average): $6,146
Less than helpful reviews have initially trumped strong advance audience responses (starting at Park City) for this very funny, raunchy female-based comedy not unlike "Bridesmaids." Opening wider than normal affected the PSA, but even taking this into account, this at best an average gross -- so far.
Acquired reportedly for something over $2 million for worldwide rights, this is the latest in a string of NY or LA based offbeat female-driven romcoms after the breakout success of "(500) Days of Summer." As with "Ruby Sparks" and "Celeste and Jesse Forever," the film was written by its lead actress (Lauren Miller). None of these has yet showed close to the success of last summer's breakout comedy hit, and even the best of them has fallen below several successful specialized releases during a very successful summer. So, combined with the less than stellar reviews, the initial modest response isn't a huge surprise.
What it means: The key is word of mouth. This opened to enough audience sampling that, with little competition over the next two weeks for audience attention, its real humor and genuinely surprising elements could yet develop a decent audience.
"The Ambassador" (Drafthouse) - Metacritic score: 69; Festivals include: IFDA 11, Sundance 12, New Directors/New Films 12; also available on Video on Demand
$11,900 in 4 theaters; PSA: $2,975
Mads Brugger's African-set diplomatic documentary (almost a performance art piece a la Sacha Baron Cohen) got favorable reviews after its successful Sundance premiere, but ended up with a weak total gross. This was a tough film to market, despite getting solid press attention. Its subject was not an attention-grabber and its director/"star" (the director) was unknown.
What it means: Though this is set for one week bookings in other major cities, this will primarily be a VOD-viewed film.
"Little Birds" (Millennium) - Metacritic score: 69; Festivals include: Sundance 11, Tribeca 11
$5,400 in 1 theater; PSA: $5,400
This Sundance 2011 Juno Temple/Kate Bosworth-starrer opened Wednesday at NY's Angelika Theater to a weak gross, despite decent reviews. This release comes 20 months after its premiere, delayed in no small part because director Elgin James had to serve a federal prison stint for a years-earlier assault charge from when he was involved with gang-related activities.
What it means: It looks like tough going ahead for this road drama.
"The Bullet Vanishes" (China Lion) - No Metacritic score
$40,000 in 15 theaters; PSA: $2,587
This 1930s Shanghai-set murder mystery/ghost story, a commercial hit in China, received a typical China Lion release in multiplexes adjacent to its likely audience, to mixed results at best.
What it means: These releases always bring more attention to the later DVD releases of these films, which always find an audience. Like similarly released Indian and Korean films, this opened close to its home country date in order to minimize piracy.
"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" (Indomina) - Metacritic score: 60; Festivals include: Berlin 2012
$90,000 in 18 theaters; PSA: $1,800
Hong Kong master action director Tsui Hark's film was a 2011 release in Asia, and now is getting mainly non-specialized theater play, with strong backing from AMC Theater's Independent program.
What it means: Most likely a single-week film for most of its runs.
"The Day" (Anchor Bay) - No Metacritic score; Festivals include: Toronto 2011, Sarasota 2012
$10,800 in 12 theaters; PSA: $900
This sci-fi thriller premiered as a midnight film at last year's Toronto, where it was picked up by wrestling entertainment's WWE (which has acquired a number of action films) and then partnered with Anchor Bay. The result is a nothing gross, but the marketing will elevated its later availability.
What it means: "The Raid: Redemption" remains the sole Toronto Midnight film last year to gain any traction.
"Sleepwalk With Me" (IFC) - Week 2; also available on Video on Demand

American tenor Carl Tanner begins the 2013-14 season as Radames in Aida at Pittsburg Opera-opening the season-a role he previously sang at the Metropolitan Opera of New York, Staatsoper Hamburg, Bayerische Staatsoper Munich, Edmonton Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Semperoper Dresden and with the Minnesota Orchestra (c: Andrew Litton). He travels to Washington National Opera to make his debut in the role of Captain Ahab in Moby-Dick and later returns to England's Grange Park Opera to appear in the title role Peter Grimes in a new production, and also to revive the role of Hermann in Pique Dame, a role he inaugurated with great acclaim last season.
Future season appearances include return engagements at The Metropolitan Opera and at London's Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
Recent successes include Dick Johnson in La Fanciulla del West at Opéra Royal de Wallonie in Liege and Cavaradossi in Tosca at Deutsche Oper Berlin, a role he previously sang at the New National Theatre in Tokyo, Greek National Opera and in his debut at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. He opened the Metropolitan Opera's Aida to great public and critical acclaim, and travelled to the UK to make his debut as Hermann at Grange Park Opera. The artist joined the roster of the Bolshoi Theatre as Calaf in Turandot, a signature role and one he has sung at Gran Theatre del Liceu Barcelona, Semperoper Dresden, Staatsoper Hamburg, in both Florence and Tokyo with Zubin Mehta, and before an audience of 100,000 at the Metropolitan Opera's Opera in the Park in Central Park.
Carl Tanner made his debut as Canio in I pagliacci at Teatro San Carlo Napoli, a role he went onto sing at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, and in Hamburg (in a double-bill alongside Tiriddu in Cavalleria Rusticana), Dresden, La Monnaie and at New York City Opera. Dresden's Semperoper was also the scene of the artist's debut in 2010 in the title role Otello and Manrico in Il Trovatore (a role he also sang at Washington National Opera, and at Bregenz Festival recorded for DVD), while in Buenos Aires at Teatro Colon he debuted as Luigi in Il Tabarro. Season 2010-11 saw his Metropolitan Opera house debut as Dick Johnson in Fanciulla del West, a role he also sang at the Edinburgh Festival, Deutsche Oper Berlin, and at Carnegie Hall.
In 2009 the artist appeared for the first time as Des Grieux in Manon at Opera de Las Palmas. In the same season, he debuted at the Paris Opera as Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly. He appeared as Don Jose in Carmen with Zubin Mehta in Florence, at Rome Opera, in Hamburg and for his La Scala Milan debut, and as Enzo Grimaldo in La Gioconda at Deutsche Oper Berlin and at Teatro Real Madrid. Other highlights of the artist's career include his appearance in the title role for Samson et Dalila with Olga Borodina in Amsterdam at the Concertgebouw, a role he later sang at Washington National Opera with Placido Domingo on the podium; the title role Andrea Chenier in Tokyo, the role of Rodrigo in Luisa Miller at De Vlaamse Opera, and the title role Edgar with Orchestre de Radio France in Paris.
On the concert stage, Mr. Tanner has performed as soloist with many symphony orchestras, including the St. Louis and Atlanta Symphonies, and the Roanoke and West Virginia Symphony orchestras in Verdi's Requiem. He has recorded Puccini's Edgar (title role) and the role of Menalaeus in Richard Strauss' Die ägyptische Helena with Deborah Voigt. In November 2006, the artist released his CD of Christmas songs entitled Hear the Angel Voices.
Carl Tanner was inducted as a National Patron of Delta Omicron, an international professional music fraternity on August 8, 2005, and received an Honorary Doctorate in Music from his alma mater, Shenandoah University in 2009.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
This hat is following the "low profile" trend, sigh. I have 2 of the original Longbill caps and they are wonderful, none of this low profile nonsense. My head has not suddenly gotten "low profile" , so these don't work so great in the wind because you can't pull it down any further. A Patagonia rep on the website suggested a string , how odd, if you made the cap like it used to be you'd need no string ! Strings just get in the way too. With the Originals, You can pull it down just a little bit, to the top of your ears and tighten. It doesn't get blown off very easily like this one does. The quality, albeit subjective, is not like the prior ones either, it feels like any other department store cap now.
To each their own. I returned this.

'Bear Grylls might appreciate overgrown parks, but Harrow residents don't'
16:33 10 October 2013
PA Wire/Press Association Images
Parks in Harrow which might delight "Bear Grylls but no one else" will be tidied up as part of a £500,000 cleaning blitz in the borough.
The previous 'wilderness parks' approach will be overturned, with £100,000 being spent on improved maintenance of parks, and parks will also benefit from a £60,000 rapid response team clean-up team.
Harrow Council, which says the measures will come into force in the next few weeks, will also spend £80,000 on a five-person blitz team and dedicated street cleansing team to tackle litter hot spots, environmental eyesores and support volunteer intiatives, and there will also be a recycling team to help support businesses and individuals.
Cllr Susan Hall, leader of Harrow Council and cabinet member for the environment, said: "It is no secret that local people are fed up with litter-strewn streets, unsightly eyesore areas and parks so overgrown they might be a delight to Bear Grylls but no one else.
"It is time to clean up the borough and return it to being a clean and safer place to live."
The council will also spend £50,000 to support the Neighbourhood Champions scheme, a project set up in 2009 with the goal of having a champion for every street in Harrow – 2,068 in total. There are currently just under 1,000 champions, who report litter, graffiti, potholes and low-level crime back to the council or the police.
Cllr Hall said: "People in Harrow will start to see the difference in streets and open spaces over the next few weeks. We are going to put the pride back into our status as one of the greenest boroughs in London."

The insider's guide to social media consulting success
Jan 20th
When I have been asked for a proposal to create a social media marketing strategy for a company, I have won the business 95 percent of the time. That may seem remarkable but I've found there is one simple secret of social media consulting success and connecting with companies at this early stage of engagement.
Competing agencies typically try to impress by piecing together glossy, elaborate plans spanning from Facebook promotions to blasting out a Pinterest campaign.
I do no such thing. In fact, I put together no plan at all. I simply, and truthfully, tell the client that I don't know what they need. And neither do they. We need to start with a foundational strategy (not an action plan) that is aligned with the company's goals, and even more important, aligned with the company's CULTURE.
Social media consulting success secrets
This is the difference between creating a glimmering strategy that crashes and burns on take-off, and a realistic strategy that can actually be accomplished and change the company.
In every organization there are five common hurdles to social media success. A critical step in the strategy development process is to provide a painfully honest assessment of these factors and the company's ability to execute and sustain a social media marketing initiative. That is where the consulting process should begin — not picking out the colors for the Facebook page!
Assessing the social media "engine"
Here are the five critical components I assess before even thinking about creating a social media plan:
Budget and resources — Is the company willing to commit the proper financial and human resources to execute the right way, or are they just checking a box to create an image? Do they seem committed to adopting "digital" as a business philosophy? How will they make this transformation?
Technology — I look at this very broadly. Is this a tech-savvy company eager to embrace new platforms or are they stuck in the 1990s? Are they fast and flexible, or ponderous in their approach to development? Have they erected security firewalls that will jeopardize success? Is the IT department a fortress resisting change or an agent propelling progress?
ROI and measurement — Does the company have a realistic view of the social media opportunity, or are they looking for immediate gratification? Are they willing to consider qualitative, as well as quantitative, measures of success? Do they even have measurement processes in place that we can build upon? Are they looking at this as a band-aid or a long-term strategy?
Legal — Can the Legal Department adjust to the new demands of the social web? Are they willing to push accountability down through the organization or will they have to approve every tweet? Are they also willing to make the cultural adjustment necessary or will they "review" an initiative into oblivion?
Corporate culture/leadership — I mention this last, but it is not the least. In fact, it is most important of all. A corporate culture is very complex but is largely determined by the leadership of the organization. If the leadership does not understand, embrace, and become actively involved in the change, a social media initiative will never move past checking a box. There is no such thing as a grassroots cultural change in a company> The leader has to be actively on board. Is the company culture customer-centric? Conservative? Slow to change? Nimble?
Now what?
Once you do this analysis, what do you do with it?
Creating an actionable and sustainable social media initiative requires all five of these building blocks to be in place. Think of these elements as integral parts of an engine. If even one part is not working, the car may start quickly, limp along for awhile, but ultimately sputter and stop.
So the strategy must be created in the context of the political reality of the company. Perhaps the first step toward social media success is not starting a blog or Facebook page, but hosting a series of social media workshops to get everybody on the same page. Or maybe it's one-on-one counseling with a leader, or creating an internal social media council.
Social media consulting success doesn't start with a Facebook page, it begins (and perhaps ends) with corporate culture. Agree? Do you see these landmines and opportunities at your companies too?

Two years ago I began collecting entertaining Twitter bios. Clearly, I have too much time on my hands. But I'm constantly amazed at the amount of creativity you can fit into 160 characters … and I think when you read these, you'll agree! Here are some of my recent favorites:
Married to the luckiest man alive. Uh, I mean, *I'm* the lucky one {cough} We have eleventy-billion kids. I wife. I mom. I run. I write.
I'm actually not funny. I'm just really mean and people think I am joking.
We are building an empire and I have better hair than Donald Trump. He doesn't know us from a bar of soap, but will once we develop Tait Towers
When I'm not seeking therapy for my Xenuphobia (extreme fear of Tom Cruise) I'm curating the world's most amazing David Hasselhoff fan site.
Analogue at birth, digital by design.
Author, Self Help Satirist, Poet, Comedian, Playwright, Amateur Penis Model. I'm like an astronaut that's missing my tronaut. Occasionally NSFW.
I am a life form evolved to live off movies, comics, video games, junk food and snark. Sadly, I will never be a Ghostbuster when I grow up. I am very gucky.
I'm here to avoid friends on Facebook.
My hobbies are breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Wearing the entrepreneur hat this week and starting a new business. great plan of attack but no product yet. a dream told me to find the product in a dream
I'm that actor in some of the movies you liked and some you didn't. Sometimes I'm in pretty good shape, other times I'm not. Hey, you gotta live, you know?
Any combination of my first and last names you can think of, I've probably heard.
I'm a Texan with lots of opinions and pretty hair.
My Indian Princess name is Too Many Stilettos. Love Pack football, food & fashion. I wish people had a brightness setting.
A Caffeine based life-form
I'm real and I hope some of my followers are too.
A force to be reckoned with, I reckon
In search of sleep, sanity, & The Shire
Buoyant, waggish, efficacious, indefatigable, demiurgic, convivial marketing companion, self-made thousandaire
Trying to Think of a Motto Since 1973. Cartoonist, children's author, songwriter, kazooist, and … oh well, out of words now.
If you're reading this, then I'm already too late. Humanity has reached it's final days. Please spend all that time tweeting.

How to overcome the "I'm not an expert" fear
Jan 17th
By {grow} Community Member Sarah Santacroce
When I speak to my clients about the benefits of blogging, I often get a pair of big, frightened eyes looking at me. 'Sarah, I'm not an expert, who would care to read my stuff?'
According to Wikipedia an expert is "A person who has a comprehensive and authoritative knowledge of or skill in a particular area." OK, that's pretty impressive. What probably scares my clients is the word "authoritative" which, means a) Able to be trusted as being accurate or true; reliable, clear, authoritative information' and b)'Considered to be the best of its kind and unlikely to be improved upon.
Fair enough, that scares me too!
Reframing the discussion
What if we replaced the word "expert" with "specialist?"
My clients seem to prefer that! It's not as exclusive, and if someone calls themselves a specialist, it tells me that they specialize in this topic, and has valuable knowledge and skills in this area. You don't have to know absolutely everything, because of course there's always room for improvement.
In fact, even pretending to be an expert can be a negative, right? Let's face it, the person who pretends to know everything is just fooling themselves. I've always been more impressed by someone who admits that she doesn't have all the answers, but promised to look them up, do her research, and then report back to me.
Let's focus on your specialty
So how does that specialist title sound to you? Not that scary anymore, right?
You truly are a specialist at what you do, now you just need to let the world know about it. There's no better marketing method than to position yourself as the expert/specialist and then writing about what you do.
Funny enough it's often the same people who are scared of not being an expert, who are also not comfortable with selling their services. Well, that's the nice thing about blogging — you don't have to sell! You are just sharing your knowledge, educating your audience without bluntly selling your services.
Through your content people will get to see that you know your stuff and when they are ready to buy, they will contact you !
A few examples
Still not sure what you should write about? Let me give you a few examples:
- If you are a coach, write about your coaching approach, about the most frequently asked questions you get from potential clients, a series of coaching tips, a list of inspirational quotes.
- If you are a stylist, write about the different colors and which color fits which body type, about the latest winter fashion, about Coco Chanel or your favorite fashionista.
- If you are a nutritionist, write about the different food groups, about your best recipes, about the good fat in avocado, about the holiday over-eating.
Do you see where I'm going with this? There's an endless list of topics for every specialty. What are you curious about? Write about it. You just need to get over that fear and start thinking "Yes, I'm a specialist at what I do and I'm going to tell the world about it!"
I call myself a specialist in Social Media, Online Presence & Internet Marketing, NOT an expert. Far from that in fact! I learn new things every day and there's people out there who are way more experienced than I am. And yet you are reading my blog post
What do you think? How are you overcoming the fear factor in blogging?

How to do Social Media Management on the cheap
Jan 16th
By Kerry Gorgone, Contributing {grow} Columnist
A while back, I wrote a post on the Best Social Media Management Tools for Small Business Owners. I researched and reviewed a handful of the least expensive, most versatile options, but the comments included some lesser known alternatives that seemed worth investigating.
I've taken some time to check them out, using the same parameters I used to gauge the initial set of tools. To restate, any tool considered must enable you to:
- Schedule posts
- Connect numerous social media accounts
- Provide analytics
- Shorten URLs
Here are some additional options for small business owners in need of a cost-effective social media management tool.
Price: Starts at $9.99 / month for eight accounts, offers plans up to $99.99 for 120 accounts
Platforms: Web application and mobile apps for iPhone and Android, mobile web version
In addition to offering low-cost plans, Sendible enables you to manage your Google+ pages, which is still a rare feature in social media management tools. (Note that this is limited to Google+ pages, as opposed to your individual profile or stream.)
The service also supports Facebook (profiles and pages), Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, Tumblr, Ning, Bebo and a number of other options. The full array of services you can connect to Sendible is impressive, so most business owners should be able to manage their social media efforts quite handily. Sendible does not offer a free plan, however, which is a drawback.
Price: Free for 7 social accounts, offers plans up to $499 / month for 50 accounts
Platforms: Web application (Chrome extension available)
Viralheat also connects a robust assortment of networks, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google+, offers robust analytics including sentiment analysis for paid accounts (basic account analytics for free), has URL shortening via Bit.ly integration, and enables scheduled posts. My favorite feature: it enables geotargeted sharing to Facebook.
In short, Viralheat is a versatile social media management tool, well worth considering for small business owners.
Price: Free up to three team members managing 20 accounts, $20/month for five team members and unlimited accounts, custom pricing available for larger teams
Platforms: Web application, mobile web version
What you get for free with Jugnoo is impressive. Link up to 20 social accounts, managed by up to three team members. You also get access to web analytics, Google analytics and social analytics. This makes Jugnoo highly appealing, and if you need to connect additional accounts or give access to more team members to manage your content, leveling up costs just $20 per month. They do have a custom pricing model, as well.
Fresh out of beta, this lesser known option added some new features recently, including link previews and rich media embeds.
Scheduled posts are enabled through BufferApp, which is itself a good option for business owners to manage their social networks.
Among free and low-cost options, Hootsuite is still the reigning champion, in part because its widespread use means there are many plugins and informational resources available. There are some viable contenders for small business owners to consider, however.
I investigated some of the platforms mentioned by commenters on my previous post. Although helpful, they do not fully meet the criteria outlined above:
Agora Pulse — Offers granular management of your Facebook pages, from scheduling posts to managing contests, but it's limited to Facebook only.
Engagio — Engagio is a discovery tool, as opposed to a social media management tool. This service enables monitoring and engaging with Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and more through an inbox message format. Although this is helpful, this service lacks analytics and the ability to schedule posts, both of which are critical to small business owners.
Bottlenose — Still in beta, Bottlenose is a helpful tool for monitoring Facebook and Twitter feeds, LinkedIn, and more. The service offers some ability to engage by posting to linked accounts. Although Bottlenose is potentially useful for individuals, small business owners need need a tool that provides more holistic management capability (scheduling posts). The company is planning a pro version, which might have additional functionality.
Bundlepost — This service takes your existing RSS feed and makes it easy for you to select stories that would be of interest to your online audience. Then, you export prepared posts to a spreadsheet that gets uploaded to HootSuite. With minimal effort beyond scanning your news feeds, you've scheduled informative, helpful posts to go out over the course of the day, keeping you top of mind for your audience. In short, it's a great tool, but works in concert with HootSuite, as opposed to providing an alternative to it.
The good news for small business owners is that options abound for you to customize your own no- or low-cost social media management solution.

Looking forward to the exciting evening ahead, Seth Rogen, Dave Franco and Chris Pratt had their game faces on as they showed up to the 2014 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night (April 13).
Enjoying some time away from their baby boy, Chris Pratt and Anna Faris showed up at the Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Thursday night (March 27).
The "Lego Movie" hunk and his "House Bunny" babe were all gussied up in their fancy finery as they strolled off to dinner at Nobu restaurant.
He's one of the funniest guys on television these days and it turns out Chris Pratt is also quite the doting father.
The "LEGO Movie" hunk told People that his son Jack (with wife Anna Faris) is able to pick him out while watching his hit NBC show "Parks and Recreation."
Ready to sit down and talk about their hit comedy, the stars of "Parks and Recreation" were on hand at the PaleyFest in Hollywood, CA on Tuesday (March 18).
Keeping it casual for the evening affair, Amy Poehler showed up in jeans and a colorful blouse while her co-star Aubrey Plaza opted for all-black.
Treating fans to a taste of what's to come, Marvel has unveiled the full-length teaser trailer for "Guardians of the Galaxy" and it's awesome.
We're still a few months off from the theatrical release of "Guardians of the Galaxy" and thankfully Marvel is giving movie fans an appetizer to stave off the pangs of hunger.
There's a new batch of first-look photos as well as a short preview clip, and lead star Chris Pratt is pumped about the project.
There was no shortage of handsome men at Rockefeller Center last night (February 6) as Colin Farrell and Chris Pratt showed up for "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."
The "Parks and Recreation" star was in the house to plug his new project "The Lego Movie" which just so happens to open in theaters this weekend.
Making a splash appearance on TV to discuss his latest flick, Chris Pratt swung by "Good Morning America" today (February 6) to talk cast mates, voice acting and his own little guy, Jack!
"GMA's" host, Robin Roberts introduced the "Moneyball" stud, saying, "They have been around for more than 50 years, more than 560 billion parts produced and now legos are ready for their close-up. Tomorrow their first ever full length 3D animated feature hits theaters. Well, like a cut of bricks."

text: James Watt's workshop reassembled in the Science Museum Science 22 March 11 by Olivia Solon Science MuseumSmall engineOlivia Solon The attic workshop of engineer James Watt -- the "first hero of the Industrial Revolution" -- has been painstakingly recreated in the Science Museum for an exhibition.When Watt died in 1819, his undisturbed workshop was sealed and left as an industrial shrine. It was moved, complete with some 8,434 objects used and created by Watt, to the Science Museum in 1924. This is the first time, however, that visitors will be able to enter the workshop and see the vast majority of its contents.Watt was the man responsible for significantly improving steam engine efficiency, allowing steam power to migrate from the coal mines to the factories of other industries, including breweries, textile mills, potteries. His work enabled a huge boost in output from British factories and helped to kickstart a long surge in prosperity in the form of the Industrial Revolution. He developed the concept of horsepower, and the watt was named after him. As a consequence he was the first engineer to be honoured by a statue in Westminster Abbey. His epitaph, by Lord Brougham, read:"Not to perpetuate a name which must endure while the peaceful arts flourish, but to show that mankind have learned to know those who best deserve their gratitude. The King, His Ministers, and many of the Nobles and Commoners of the Realm raised this monument to James Watt who, directing the force of an original genius, early exercised in philosophic research, to the improvement of the steam engine, enlarged the resources of his country, increased the power of man, and rose to an eminent place among the most illustrious followers of science and the real benefactors of the world."Watt's workshop is packed with a baffling array of objects, including the world's oldest circular saw, parts of musical instruments, ancient sandpaper, a roller press and a device used to mint and standardize the size of coins for the first time.Watt and his business partner Matthew Boulton were adept at "turning science into money", quite literally in 1796 when Boulton manufactured all of Britain's coins for the Bank of England with steam powered machinery. To commemorate this, the Bank of England is to print their image on new £50 bank notes. The exhibition, entitled "James Watt and our world", will be open for the forseeable future. Visit the Science Museum's website for more details. Edited by Duncan Geere Latest on wired.co.uk

Get Creative and Save Money!jentatertots
One of the things I love most about DIYing is that thinking creatively saves money. I have been working on decorating a guest room in my basement and I spent hours combing through online sites looking for a duvet for that space. I finally had given up and was going to sew a duvet out of a pair of sheets, when I happened to see a fabric shower curtain. That got my imagination running and I ended up making the duvet for my guest room from that shower curtain for a fraction of the price that buying a duvet would have cost. Plus, I was able to make a duvet that fit in with my overall design for the room, instead of settling for something that wasn't quite what I had in mind.
Find out more about my project after the break!
So when you are thinking of a project, consider repurposing items you may not have considered.You can see the entire Duvet Out of a Shower Curtain tutorial on my Tatertots and Jello blog. Plus, there are a couple other projects I made in that room that also saved me major money by DIYing myself.
Have you ever repurposed or upcycled something or a project? Share YOUR idea with us in the comments. We would love to see it!
