Princeton’s finest boffins have managed to print out an ear, and it’s not just a simple prosthetic, it’s actually an enhancement with a radio antenna built in. The process of combining electrical circuits with flesh is fraught with difficulties, and building ears is a common challenge given the complexity of shape and their propensity to become torn off or damaged Continue reading

Goddesses And The Divine Feminine – Rosemary Ruether ll4.me Goddesses And The Divine Feminine – Rosemary Ruether This landmark work presents the most illuminating portrait we have to date of goddesses and sacred female imagery in Western culture-from prehistory to contemporary goddess movements.

Designed for SC12, a supercomputing conference taking place this week, the demonstration relies on cPacket Networks for monitoring performance and for reliability assurance. High speed networks are important for our efforts to expand our supercomputing and cloud infrastructure, said Paul Lang, Senior Networking Engineer from the High End Computer Networking Group (HECN) NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Continue reading
On health care: The tax man cometh
July 8, 2012 By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold most of President Barack Obama’s health care law will come home to roost for most taxpayers in about two-and-a-half years, when they’ll have to start providing proof on their tax returns that they have health insurance. That scenario puts the Internal Revenue Service at the center of the debate, renewing questions about whether the agency is capable of policing the health care decisions of millions of people in the United States while also collecting the taxes needed to run the federal government. Under the law, the IRS will provide tax breaks and incentives to help pay for health insurance and impose penalties on some people who don’t buy coverage and on some businesses that don’t offer it to employees.
