IF it's really 100% (or close) accurate, how soon can it be used for the general populace?
Alzheimer's costs a LOT to deal with. Beyond avoiding some suckage for the patient and especially their family, this could save some serious money if universally applied.
It's kinda invasive with requiring an injected marker, but that's already done pretty routinely for kidney trouble etc.
Vasagel ( https://www.parsemus.org/proje... [parsemus.org] ) is pretty far along, with human trials expected in 2018. It's shown good efficacy and reversibility in animal studies already.
RISUG, which uses a different polymer, has been in human trials in India for more than a decade, with good results and no serious side effects. It's currently in Phase II trials there, which is the last step before being available by prescription.
Most of the information on RISUG is either very superficial or very dense, but this archived page has good information with sources cited. http://web.archive.org/web/200... [archive.org]
As has been stated elsewhere, the progress on these options is slow, largely because there's little money to be made in a one-time (or once a decade) shot, as opposed to a daily pill for life. Vasagel is funded entirely by donation.
Neither of these gels provides any protection from STI, but they are currently the most promising non-permanent male birth control.
As it stands right now, there are NO male-controlled birth control options besides condoms and vasectomy. Vasagel would allow men to take control of their fertility, notwithstanding impulsive moments when a condom may not be handy.

sneakemail.com has an excellent service for exactly this.
They auto-generate unique email addresses which can be used bi-directionally, without ever exposing your 'real' address.
It's very useful for your BigBoxStore@domain.com example, and once abuse on the address begins you can blackhole it, set to auto-reject or your choice of return error.
Also, you don't have to setup the addresses individually. You create a code like "nwb123" and then simply use an address like Bigboxstore-nwb123@sneakemail.com as your signup address. The confirmation will come through to your regular email, and so will password resets etc.
I like this system since it becomes obvious when (and by whom) my email address is sold or stolen. Delta.com hasn't produced a spam email yet in--- like ten years?

i have a cedar shake roof now, and will be replacing it with standing-seam steel with integrated PV as soon as the price reaches the break-even point. Shakes suck ass at rainwater reclamation, which is half of my motivation for replacing this (very expensive) perfectly good roof.
PV tiles are available that match the terra-cotta tiles, currently mostly in the German market, where those tiles are dominant.
The PV will always be colored dark, as they need to absorb the light in order to work. If one is so hide-bound to the notion of traditional "good looks" then i guess it's just buy electricity from the grid. There are some currently available PV roofing materials that look almost exactly like slate, which is another "premium" roofing material.
Here's the text of the comment i just submitted....
I am writing today to urge you to support a bill introduced by two of your collegues, Rep. Jay inslee (D-WA) and Rep. Don Manzullo (R-IL). Their proposed "Internet and Radio Equality Act" is a positive step forward for musical artists, small webcasters and your Maryland consitiuents.
Currently, small webcasters are under the threat of extinction due to the obviously RIAA, big-industry motivated ruling by the Copyright Royalty Board which would increase their royalties/fees by 300 to 1200 percent, retroactively back to 2006. This will immediately bankrupt many small, vibrant and diverse webcasters and will result in an immediate negative impact for music lovers in Maryland and the United States.
By implementing the proposed bill, webcaster royalties would be set at the same level as satellite radio broadcasters, which seems to be a wholly fair and appropriate given the similarities between the technologies.
"price drops to reflect the savings on manufacturing and distribution"
Well, just how much do you think it actually costs to stamp a CD? The initial investment in manufacturing machinery and so forth was repaid long, long ago....
I don't know, but i'd guess that the actual manufacturing cost is in the pennies. Distrubution would be more expensive, but not that much considering the $/volume of pre-recorded CDs.
I suspect the major expense is in the marketing of the chosen few mega-stars.
It will put out a fire [tpub.com] at concentrations of about 5%, leaving plenty of oxygen to breathe.
I stand corrected! I was under the impression that it works by displacing the ambient air (and it's oxygen).
As for the engine-room thing, I think the point was that an engine, being essentially a large positive-displacement air pump, could actually pump the halon out of the engine room, creatng toxic gasses as it did so, and also lowering the overall amount of halon in the room to the point of rendering it ineffective.
There is some controversy (according to this article in PassageMaker) as to whether these halon systems should be installed with an automatic engine-kill or not. On one hand, it would suck to have your engine suck all of the halon out of the engine room.... otoh, it would suck worse if you needed that engine to maneuver during the emergency (to avoid collision etc) and it had been killed by the fire system.
Anyhow, you make good points and I'm glad I know better now.
Halon will kill you just as dead, just as quickly, as CO2.
Both gasses extinguish fire by excluding oxygen... which isn't good for people either.
The difference is that one cannot comfortably breath CO2, an involuntary physiological reaction makes it impossible. (next time you open a bottle of Coke, try sniffing the little cloud of CO2 that forms in the top of the bottle)
Halon, otoh, is perfectly comofortable to breathe in and out, but will provide no oxygen. This is similar to breathing helium (recommended as the nicest way to commit suicide, after N20) in that one would be quite comfortable right up until one passed out from hypoxia. Death follows soon after.
Also, i've read in boating magazines that undersized Halon systems used in engine compartments can be dangerous. Apparently, if the diesel engine is running when the system fires and there isn't enough Halon to kill the engine, the burned Halon/air/diesel mixture produces some really nasty toxic gasses.
Anyhow.. enough rambling!
sounds like UCONN.....

It reminds me of USA Today. Soon will come the misinformed and outright incorrect "infographics"

yep, i got a 5310 too, and i'm in love with it.
nothing i've tried with it has given me trouble, and the wireless has worked seamlessly everywhere i've been (travel a lot, airports)
if i have a complaint, it's that the fan is somewhat noisy. it's stepped-speed and will run faster when the machine is cpu-intensive.
