ScienceDaily (Sep. 4, 2012) Thermal imaging technology might one day be to identify drunks before they become a nuisance in bars, airports or other public spaces. Georgia Koukiou and Vassilis Anastassopoulos of the Electronics Laboratory, at University of Patras, Greece, are developing software that can objectively determine whether a person has consumed an excessive amount of alcohol based solely on the relative temperature of different parts of the person's face. Writing in the International Journal Electronic Security and Digital Forensics, the team explains how such a system sidesteps the subjective judgements one might make based on behaviour and so allow law enforcement ...

TOTO rolled out the eco-friendly three-wheel 250cc motorcycle with a specially customized toilet-shaped seat that runs on bio-fuel from the discharge of livestock or waste water.

> A Proposal for Romney/Ryan9/6/12Romney and Ryan, to the best of my knowledge, and with a web search, have not made public their College Transcripts. Since it's a key issue by many that Obama has denied access to virtually ALL of his early recordsI would propose that much could be gained by Both Romney and Ryan to make available, via WebSite Links, their transcripts (I'd assume they're at least Average Grades, they're both obviously intelligent). Obama Can Not release his. Someone in the GOP Camp needs to bring this up to the Candidates. It's an Issue!As another play, Post Their Birth Certificates on other Sites. Link them on campaign literature. Show ...
Compressed natgas vs electriic for cars Post Date: 2012-09-03 04:37:23 by Tatarewicz

Although I'm a long-time supporter of electric vehicles, it would be irresponsible as an investor to ignore potential threats to this market. So for the sake of clarification, I've decided to take a closer look at the benefits of natural gas-powered vehicles to see if they are, in fact, enough to close the lid on electric car development. The first benefit is fuel price. The most recent EPA report of compressed natural gas (CNG) prices indicates $2.13 per equivalent gasoline gallon. In some parts of the country, that's half the price of 87 Octane. Of course, natural gas won't be dirt cheap forever... but neither will gasoline. Quite frankly, I suspect there will be a ...
Premonitions - C2C recap Post Date: 2012-09-03 02:16:03 by Tatarewicz
1 Comments
In the first half, paranormal expert and author Joel Martin talked about premonitions and related stories. According to Martin, eight out of ten people have received an after death communication from a deceased loved one. Many of these are actually premonitions, he said. They can be challenging to research because one must either accept a person's claim or be present to record the premonition and verify the subsequent predicted event, Martin explained. He defined a premonition as a forewarning, usually related to tragedy, and noted how they are part of the normal human experience. Premonitions should be fairly specific and not merely a general feeling of unease (i.e., common sense), ...

Nick Hodge formula for avoiding a food stamps income Post Date: 2012-09-01 06:46:22 by Tatarewicz

Somebody didn't like the essay last week... The one about how we've turned into a nation of zombies 100 million people on some form of welfare, 46.5 million on food stamps, and disability claims growing six times faster than the population. This person (I'll call her Lauren) sent me a long diatribe. I take pride in my work and writing, so I must respond. It's also in your best interest that I do. Lauren begins: I didn't like this article. I didn't like your comment about $100k/yr not being 'very much' if you have two kids, a mortgage, and two car payments. If you don't think $100k is very much... Try supporting a household on $28k-$45k/year. ...

ScienceDaily (Aug. 30, 2012) "Information overload" may be an exaggerated way to describe today's always-on media environment. Actually, very few Americans seem to feel bogged down or overwhelmed by the volume of news and information at their fingertips and on their screens, according to a new Northwestern University study. The study was published in the journal The Information Society. "Little research has focused on information overload and media consumption, yet it's a concept used in public discussions to describe today's 24/7 media environment," said Eszter Hargittai, an associate professor of communication studies at Northwestern and lead ...

The Iowa State University Distinguished Professor of psychology appointed 12 IRSA researchers to the commission, including Douglas Gentile, an ISU associate professor of psychology.

German customs seized a $1.2 million violin from a professional musician and are demanding she pay almost $500,000 to get it back, reports said on Wednesday. Belgium-based Yuzuko Horigome was transiting through Frankfurt Airport last week after performing in her home country Japan, the top-selling Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper said. When she tried to walk through the green gate for travellers arriving in the EU with nothing to declare, customs officers stopped her and said she needed to pay 190,000 in duty on her 1741 Guarnerius violin. On top of this were fines, taking the total cost to an eye-popping 380,000 euros, the Tokyo-based paper said. Customs confiscated the ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The former U.S. Navy SEAL who authored a soon-to-be-published book about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden is now facing threats against his life in addition to possible criminal prosecution. An official al Qaeda website on Friday posted a photograph and the name of the former Navy commando responsible for the book, calling him "the dog who murdered the martyr Sheikh Osama bin Laden." The head of U.S. Special Operations Command told current and former troops that the military would take legal action against anyone found to have exposed sensitive information that could cause harm to fellow forces.

Photos Of Athletes: Nobody Notices Nuthin' By Steve Sailer on August 24, 2012 at 10:03am With the news today that Lance Armstrong is surrendering his seven Tour de France cycling titles, I want to return to my rant from last weekthat nobody seems to notice anything when famous celebrities look a little odd. Here, for example, is a picture of the veteran tennis-playing Williams Sisters from the cover of the upcoming New York Times Sunday Magazine. Venus, on the left, looks like an enormously tall and extremely athletic woman in the peak of physical shape. As I recall, when Venus emerged as a pro in the 1990s, she set a record for velocity of service speed for a woman. So, Venus is ...

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22, 2012 (Reuters) The U.S. government was surprised by the news that a Navy SEAL who participated in the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan has written a book about the operation in which the al Qaeda leader was killed, U.S. officials said on Wednesday. "No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission that Killed Osama Bin Laden" was written by a Navy SEAL under the pseudonym Mark Owen with co-author Kevin Maurer and is to be released next month on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks. It was not vetted by government agencies to ensure that no secrets were revealed. "The book was vetted by a former special operations ...
