Chitosan is extracted from ordinary crustacean shells — primarily crab, shrimp and lobster — by treatment with hydrochloric acid and then sodium hydroxide
.
Hmmm . . . that is one treatment that I will try avoid, if possible . . .
This reminds me of a Monty Python sketch, where they showed someone with a blurred face, and a distorted voice. The announcer said that it was for his own protection. But then stated, "His real name is XXX and he lives at YYY".

U.S. scientists on Tuesday unveiled the world's first computerized human brain map, an online public resource developed to accelerate understanding of how the human brain works and in hopes to tackle neurological diseases like Alzeimer's and Parkinson's.
Hmmm . . . can I use that map on my GPS Navigator?"
Navigator: "Please take a left turn at your next neurological problem,,, oh, never mind... can you replace the loose nut behind the wheel, and take this car back to Hertz?"
Funded by Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen, the 55-million-U.S. dollar project, named the Allen Human Brain Atlas, identifies 1,000 anatomical sites in the human brain, backed by more than 100 million data points that indicate the particular gene expression and underlying biochemistry of each site, said the Seattle-based Allen Institute for Brain Science.
Well, that says a lot . . . "Thanks for all the fish, Mr. Allen . .."
How come I think that the technology coming out of this place will never see the light of day:
The Center for Applied Technology, as it's been named, will serve 'as a focal point for bringing entrepreneurial-minded staff, emerging technologies, and pressing business problems facing the Census together'
Well, one manager folk told me and my manager in a call, when we asked about some features: "We are currently implementing plans to size the effort."
How come CERN seems to have money coming out their asses, to bang Large Hadrons together? Now, if they could just bang two Hydrogen atoms together, producing a butt-load of heat . . . now then we're talking!
The Economist once wrote that levying taxes is like plucking feathers from a goose. You want to get the maximum of feathers, with the minimal of fuss.
So I am surprised that any Senator would dare to pick a fight with a rather large crowd of folks who buy stuff off the Internet. Start plucking that goose, and you will hear some loud squawks.

It was all a fake! Well, at least we have Buzz Aldrin, ready to turn any impertinent folk's face into a Picasso, if the journalist claims that the Moon Landing was a fake. If I had traveled to the Moon and back, I would also be so onery, in case someone asked me if it was a fake. Oh, you could check it yourselves . . . one of the Moon missions left a mirror on the surface of the Moon. All you need to do, is to shine a laser on it.
Oh, and one more thing. The US Space Program was really tits up . . . even Werner von Braun had to turn to Walt Disney for support. When Sputnik and Gagarin went up, JFK got his ass in gear.

Ms. Brewer's surcharge would apply only to only certain childless adults:Those who are obese or chronically ill, and those who smoke.
So it's OK to be fat and smoke, if you have children. Ms. Brewer is thinking of the children!
Also:
They would need to work with a primary-care physician to develop a plan to help them lose weight and otherwise improve their health. Patients who don't meet specified goals would be required to pay the $50, under terms of the proposal.
So already overworked physicians will be tasked with yet more paper work, for filing out exemptions forms. Who is going to process all this? The state will need a Department of Fat, Smoking and Do-You-Have-Children. Any savings from the surcharge will be burned up in the processing bureaucracy.
Oh, I'm skinny, don't smoke and I don't live in Arizona.
The British SAS and various other counter-terrorist/hostage rescuers and other Secret Squirrels have been using these for years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stun_grenade . When storming some nasty hornet's nest, toss in a couple of these in first. A device that causes permanent blindness is forbidden by the Geneva Conventions.
But this thingy has a longer range, so that you do not have to be in throwing range. But I am afraid that these devices will fall into the wrong hands . . . like the lasers that creeps aim at airplanes.
The app uses the camera on the back of a smartphone to show a user a visual of his upcoming surroundings, which will supposedly prevent the user from running into the street or across a set of train tracks.
Constantly show a safe environment. The truck or train would take care of the rest. That would certainly teach them to rely on an app instead of staying vigilant themselves.
"I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that. There's a 'No Left Turn' sign there. To do so could only be the result of human error."
Will computer steered cars be able to dodge other dingbats on the road who are: twittering, spilling their coffee on themselves and putting on makeup? That is the real danger on the road. And those are the types of folks who will refuse a computer chauffeur.
Superconducting Super Collider? That just sounds expensive. So when Congress is looking to save money, that really stands out. Collider sounds to violent as well. If they had called it "Mini-micro concur-er," It would have been whacking up stuff today.

I constantly get calls from folks I don't know like this:
Them: "Hi, you don't know me, but I'm a friend of your milkman's, newspaper boy's, dogsitter . . . they all told me that you are, like real smart with computers. Mine won't start . . . it seems to start, but then the disk screams, and nothing happens.
Me: "Ok, when did you make your last backup?"
Them: "What's a backup?"
Me: "Ok, do you know your administrator password?"
Them: "There is no one here named administrator."
The sad fact, is that I cave in, and go over to help them out.
Or is there something special about Google's fibres?
Forget Google fiber. Go with Monster Cables. I've been petitioning the Oberbürgermeister in my city to get wired with Monster Cables. You can really hear the difference. Really!
However, the Oberbürgermeister has insinuated, that I might be out of my tiny little mind. When I asked if he could change the name of the city from Heidelberg to Google, he inquired if I am getting proper psychiatric care.
But really! The Internet sounds better over Monster Cables!
The doctor takes a look at you, the patient, and your insurance status . . . and decides if you are treated, or become Soylent Green. The sales of the Soylent Green would finance the medical system.
