Thousands of nanoscale filters remove toxins from the blood, while a BioCartridge of renal tubule cells mimics the metabolic and water-balance roles of the human kidney.* UCSF researchers today unveiled a prototype model of the first implantable artificial kidney, in a development that one day could eliminate the need for dialysis.http://news.ucsf.edu/releases/ucsf-unveils-model-for-implantable-artificial-kidney-to-replace-dialysis/ The device, which would include thousands of microscopic filters as well as a bioreactor to mimic the metabolic and water-balancing roles of a real kidney, is being developed in a collaborative effort by engineers, biologists and physicians nationwide, led by Shuvo Roy, PhD, in the UCSF Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences. The team has established the feasibility of an implantable model in animal models and plans to be ready for clinical trials in five to seven years. End-stage renal disease, or chronic kidney failure, affects more than 500,000 people per year in the United States alone, and currently is only fully treated with a kidney transplant. That number has been rising between 5-7 percent per year, Roy said, in part because of the kidney damage associated with diabetes and hypertension. Yet transplants are difficult to obtain: a mere 17,000 donated kidneys were available for transplant last year, while the number of patients on the transplant waiting list currently exceeds 85,000, according to the Organ Procurement ant Transplant Network. Roughly 350,000 patients are reliant on kidney dialysis, Roy explained, which comes at a tremendous cost. The Medicare system alone spends $25 billion on treatments for kidney failure – more than 6 percent of the total budget – while the disease affects only 1 percent of Medicare recipients The treatment has been proven to work for the sickest patients using a room-sized external model developed by a team member in Michigan. Roy’s goal is to apply silicon fabrication technology, along with specially engineered compartments for live kidney cells, to shrink that large-scale technology into a device the size of a coffee cup. The device would then be implanted in the body without the need for immune suppressant medications, allowing the patient to live a more normal life. “This device is designed to deliver most of the health benefits of a kidney transplant, while addressing the limited number of kidney donors each year,” said Roy, an associate professor in the UCSF School of Pharmacy who specializes in developing micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology for biomedical applications. “This could dramatically reduce the burden of renal failure for millions of people worldwide, while also reducing one of the largest costs in U.S. healthcare.” It costs $75,000 per patient each year for dialysis, according to the U.S. Renal Data System. Dialysis also takes a human toll. A typical dialysis schedule is three sessions per week, for 3 to 5 hours per session, in which blood is pumped through an external circuit for filtration. This is exhausting for patients and only replaces 13 percent of kidney function, Roy said. As a result, only 35 percent of patients survive for more than 5 years. With the limited supply of donors, that means thousands of patients die each year waiting for a kidney. The implantable device aims to eradicate that problem. The two-stage system uses a hemofilter to remove toxins from the blood, while applying recent advances in tissue engineering to grow renal tubule cells to provide other biological functions of a healthy kidney. The process relies on the body’s blood pressure to perform filtration without needing pumps or an electrical power supply.

Tweney * September 1, 2010 | * 2:21 pm | * Categories: Home Audio and Video * Previous | Next * * * * * Previous | Next View all SAN FRANCISCO — In a sign that its television “hobby” has turned into serious business, Apple announced an aggressively-priced new set-top box that takes aim at the heart of the cable TV and DVD rental industries. The new Apple TV, which will go on sale at the end of September for $100, is a puny box just 1/4 the size of the previous model. It has an HDMI port, a power supply built in it, an optical audio port, an Ethernet jack, and built-in Wi-Fi. “It’s silent, cool and tiny,” said Apple CEO Steve Jobs, showing off the diminutive metallic box. Despite rumors, the product was not re-branded as “iTV.” Jobs did not state whether it was running a version of iOS, although the Apple TV’s new interface includes some very iOS-like touches, such as icons that jiggle when you are rearranging them in your Netflix queue. Apple joins an increasingly crowded and risky scrum of companies trying to reinvent television for the internet age. Netflix and Hulu both have been offering streaming video playback of movies and TV shows, with some success, for over a year. Google is working on a set-top box that would blur the line between TV and internet fare, YouTube is said to be planning mainstream film rentals and Amazon is rumored to be planning its own Netflix-like video streaming service. But the real threat are the cable companies and TV networks, which have a lock on the shows that people want to watch — and so far, there’s been little incentive for them to open up their tightly-controlled ecosystems to internet upstarts. Apple’s play is for convenience, but it’s not the cross-platform strategy needed for dominance, wrote Andrew Eisner, a director at online electronics retailer Retrevo.com. “A TV OS vacuum exists at the moment and unfortunately for consumers, TV manufacturers appear to be filling it with their own proprietary offerings,” Eisner wrote recently. “Apple needs to gain control of the third screen or TV screen, after smartphone screens and computer screens, and the TV industry needs to move away from closed environments and let their connected TVs work with all the apps and streaming content that consumers are finding so appealing.” The company will also be providing a feature within iOS 4.2 that customers can use to share videos wirelessly from their iPhones, iPod Touches or iPads. Called “AirPlay,” the feature will let customers display a video from their mobile device, on an Apple TV-connected TV screen, with a single tap. IOS 4.2 won’t be available until November. AirPlay “puts iPhones and iPads in the driver’s seat and makes the TV just an output device for the Apple ecosystem,” said Forrester analyst James McQuivey. “Expect Apple to gradually push more and more in that direction.” “But,” McQuivey added, “as of this moment in 2010, Apple has not yet made a significant play for control of the TV.” In an implicit acknowledgment of Apple TV’s poor sales to date, Jobs again referred to the product as the company’s “hobby.” He showed the new Apple TV at a press conference here on Wednesday. But Jobs was careful to cast the company’s previous product as a learning experience, and indicated his intention of throwing more of the company’s weight behind the upgraded Apple TV. Apple TV customers will be able to rent first-run HD movies for $5, at the same time as they’re released on DVD. That’s a substantial improvement from the past, when

Mr Worf, it's an interesting trend indeed. I would say that this is due to lessened mobility.

You read that right. The trend is unmistakable, according to new Pew Research data. Over the past year, social networking use among internet users aged 50 and older has nearly doubled, from 22 percent to 42 percent. Assessed another way, half (47 percent) of internet users ages 50-64 and one in four (26 percent) users ages 65 and older now use social networking sites. The older set still has some ground to make up if it wants to equal or better the 18- to 29-year-olds, 86 percent of whom say they use sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. But if the current adoption rate holds, it could happen. “Between April 2009 and May 2010,” reported Pew, “internet users [aged] 50-64 who said they use a social networking site like MySpace, Facebook or LinkedIn grew 88 percent and those ages 65 and older grew 100 percent in their adoption of the sites, compared with a growth rate of 13 percent for those ages 18-29.” The data also suggests that, in addition to their acceptance of social networking, older people say they also are becoming regular users. “The use of Twitter and other services to share status updates has also grown among older users—most notably among those ages 50-64,” said Pew. “While just 5 percent of users ages 50-64 had used Twitter or another status-update service in 2009, 11 percent now say they use these tools. On a typical day, 6 percent of online adults aged 50-64 make Twitter a part of their routine, up from the 1 percent who did so in 2009. “By comparison, social networking sites have gained a much larger foothold in the lives of older Americans over time. One in five (20 percent) online adults ages 50-64 say they use social networking sites on a typical day, up from 10 percent one year ago. Likewise, 13 percent of online adults ages 65 and older log on to social networking sites, compared with just 4 percent who did so in 2009.” Looked at another way, among the pool of adults ages 50 and older who use social networking sites, 44 percent used them on the day prior to their being contacted for the survey.

You read that right. The trend is unmistakable, according to new Pew Research data. Over the past year, social networking use among internet users aged 50 and older has nearly doubled, from 22 percent to 42 percent. Assessed another way, half (47 percent) of internet users ages 50-64 and one in four (26 percent) users ages 65 and older now use social networking sites. The older set still has some ground to make up if it wants to equal or better the 18- to 29-year-olds, 86 percent of whom say they use sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. But if the current adoption rate holds, it could happen. “Between April 2009 and May 2010,” reported Pew, “internet users [aged] 50-64 who said they use a social networking site like MySpace, Facebook or LinkedIn grew 88 percent and those ages 65 and older grew 100 percent in their adoption of the sites, compared with a growth rate of 13 percent for those ages 18-29.” The data also suggests that, in addition to their acceptance of social networking, older people say they also are becoming regular users. “The use of Twitter and other services to share status updates has also grown among older users—most notably among those ages 50-64,” said Pew. “While just 5 percent of users ages 50-64 had used Twitter or another status-update service in 2009, 11 percent now say they use these tools. On a typical day, 6 percent of online adults aged 50-64 make Twitter a part of their routine, up from the 1 percent who did so in 2009. “By comparison, social networking sites have gained a much larger foothold in the lives of older Americans over time. One in five (20 percent) online adults ages 50-64 say they use social networking sites on a typical day, up from 10 percent one year ago. Likewise, 13 percent of online adults ages 65 and older log on to social networking sites, compared with just 4 percent who did so in 2009.” Looked at another way, among the pool of adults ages 50 and older who use social networking sites, 44 percent used them on the day prior to their being contacted for the survey.

14 Cool Concept Motorcycleshttp://coolmaterial.com/cool-list/cool-concept-motorcycles/ By JC http://coolmaterial.com/author/jenni/ [image: 14 Cool Concept Motorcycles] We love to show you the latest cool rideshttp://coolmaterial.com/cool/rides/ available, but if you’ve been wondering what kind of awesome motorcycles may be on the horizon then check out these cool concept bikes. Some are functional, but not practical yet for mass production, while others really push the envelope in terms of creative design. 0diggsdigg [image: 14 Cool Concept Motorcycles] Mach Ness Motorcycle manufacturer Arlen Ness crafted this metal monster powered by a gas-turbine helicopter engine. The aluminum outer shell with noticeably large rivets gives it a sort of steam punk edge that you just won’t get from carbon fiber and plastic. The body has been shaped entirely by hand, which lends to why it’s not being mass produced. Sourcehttp://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/halloffame/oneimage.asp?id=423 [image: 14 Cool Concept Motorcycles] Icare Bike Concept If we had access to all the possible concept designs for Batman’s motorcycle the Icare Bike Concept would certainly be on the list. We could just imagine the Dark Knight leaning into a tight turn on this sleek black bike. Icare isn’t just a cool concept, but a real working design. It’s powered by a six-cylinder 1.8 liter Honda engine with dual exhaust. Right now it’s still up in the air whether or not it will go into production, but keep you fingers crossed. Source http://hypebeast.com/2008/07/icare-bike-concept/ [image: 14 Cool Concept Motorcycles] Swordfish Motorcycle Concept Any concept bike you’ve ever thought of as sleek has nothing on the Swordfish. The Swordfish Motorcycle concept by Alexander Kotlyarevsky sports an aggressive futuristic design and hubless wheels. The overall look has interesting mix between curves and sharp angles that earn this bike its name.Sourcehttp://gizmodo.com/5155563/swordfish-motorcycle-concept-imagines-our-hubless-wheeled-future [image: 14 Cool Concept Motorcycles] Halbo Future Duo-Wheel BMW If you’re looking for an incredibly small and fast motorcycle and could care less about your personal safety then we’ve got a bike for you. Designer Pierre Yohanes designed the Halbo for eco-minded people who want something compact and electric powered. The front wheel is stationary and the back tail turns, so it’s kind of like riding a motorboat. Sourcehttp://www.yankodesign.com/2009/07/02/super-green-super-dangerous-super-bike/ [image: 14 Cool Concept Motorcycles] Jaguar M-Cycle This isn’t one of those concept bikes with a name like Jaguar that’s meant to represent it’s speed. Its name is pretty literal in this case. The Jaguar concept by M-Cycles draws inspiration from the Jaguar car manufacturer logo. The bike measures 8 feet in length and features ebony lacquered fiberglass over stainless steel. Source http://m-cycles.com/ [image: 14 Cool Concept Motorcycles] Scarab Motorcycle While the Scarab sounds like a bike you’d likely drive around in the desert it’s actually designed with urban situations in mind. The bike can adapt to sit completely upright while parked so it takes up as little space as possible in a crowded city parking lot. In fact you and 3 of your friends using scarabs can fit your motorcycles in a standard sized space for a car. Designer David Miguel Moreira Gonçalves envisions the Scarab to be used as a rental vehicle as a convenient and eco-friendly transpiration solution.

Based on a Viper V-10 bike, it’s got a beefy 500 horsepower engine and 4 wheels. According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration anything with more than 3 wheels on the ground doesn’t qualify as a motorcycle. That probably has something to do with why this beast of a bike never made it into mass production. Shame because this awesome machine is basically just an engine and some wheels that provide raw speed and power between your legs.Sourcehttp://www.allpar.com/cars/concepts/tomahawk.html [image: 14 Cool Concept Motorcycles]http://coolmaterial.com/become-a-fan-of-cool-material/ [image: 14 Cool Concept Motorcycles] ENERGYA Motorcycle Since we discovered that technically anything with 3 wheels or less qualifies as a motorcycle then technically the ENERGYA Motorcycle fits the bill. With two wheels in the front and two full seats it almost looks like a racecar, but it only has one rear wheel. The designer Higgins-Aubé actually calls it a “motomobile” since it’s sort of a car/motorcycle hybrid.Sourcehttp://www.yankodesign.com/2008/10/07/3-is-the-new-4/ [image: 14 Cool Concept Motorcycles] Ferrari V4 Motorcycle Concept If Ferrari made a motorcycle to match the car this would be

[scifinoir2] Re: Is Newsweek biting the dust?
There was an article on-line a few weeks ago about the drastic dip in newsstand magazine sales and Newsweek and Time magazine have had precipitous newsstand sales declines. I don't have the numbers at hand, but I was shocked at the number of copies these once premiere magazines were currently selling. This doesn't even speak of subscription sales. I used to subscribe to both.

I like them in small doses but Sharon does the damn thing and their live shows are epic. I liked at first Amy Winehouse but that crap of crowning her the new face of soul music really galled me.

You read that right. The trend is unmistakable, according to new Pew Research data. Over the past year, social networking use among internet users aged 50 and older has nearly doubled, from 22 percent to 42 percent. Assessed another way, half (47 percent) of internet users ages 50-64 and one in four (26 percent) users ages 65 and older now use social networking sites. The older set still has some ground to make up if it wants to equal or better the 18- to 29-year-olds, 86 percent of whom say they use sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. But if the current adoption rate holds, it could happen. “Between April 2009 and May 2010,” reported Pew, “internet users [aged] 50-64 who said they use a social networking site like MySpace, Facebook or LinkedIn grew 88 percent and those ages 65 and older grew 100 percent in their adoption of the sites, compared with a growth rate of 13 percent for those ages 18-29.” The data also suggests that, in addition to their acceptance of social networking, older people say they also are becoming regular users. “The use of Twitter and other services to share status updates has also grown among older users—most notably among those ages 50-64,” said Pew. “While just 5 percent of users ages 50-64 had used Twitter or another status-update service in 2009, 11 percent now say they use these tools. On a typical day, 6 percent of online adults aged 50-64 make Twitter a part of their routine, up from the 1 percent who did so in 2009. “By comparison, social networking sites have gained a much larger foothold in the lives of older Americans over time. One in five (20 percent) online adults ages 50-64 say they use social networking sites on a typical day, up from 10 percent one year ago. Likewise, 13 percent of online adults ages 65 and older log on to social networking sites, compared with just 4 percent who did so in 2009.” Looked at another way, among the pool of adults ages 50 and older who use social networking sites, 44 percent used them on the day prior to their being contacted for the survey.

A while back I heard an interview on Fresh Air with a group called Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. This group is amazing, with a sound that hails back to the days of good old soul and funk. Jones has that rich, raspy voice that lends itself to heartfelt, even painful renditions, and her band sounds like something straight out of Stax records. They use old-fashioned methods to record: real tapes, hand editing, actual acoustics caused by the recording room instead of computer manipulations. Very, very good stuff. Albums are on iTunes: I bought two straightaway after listening to the NPR interview. Go to their web site to be treated to a listen to some of their latest songs, which start playing automatically. The first song up is I Learned the Hard Way, which has a real old feel to it. Other recent songs you have to seek out are Humble Me and the awesome 100 Days, 100 Nights, which sounds as if it came straight off an actual record from the 60s. Two links below. The first is to their website, where you can hear some of their songs. The second is to a great NPR SXSW showcase in Austin where Jones' group was the headliner. There you can hear the entire gig they performed, which is close to an a hour long.

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Waayyy OT: Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings
Another old school singer (literally, in this case) is Bettye LaVette. Many of you probably heard of her recently. She sang at the pre-inaugural concert for Obama in 2009, and has been getting more notice. LaVette started singing in the '60s as a teen, but literally simply never made it. For example, an album she recorded in 1972 was never released--until recently! LaVette has that gritty, soulful voice that you associate with the best of blues, RB, and soul, a voice that sounds as if she's been smoking, drinking, and hoarse from yelling. She's a phenomenal talent. It's sad, amazing, and uplifting all at once that going on five decades later, she's just now making it. A real loss for the music world, but then, in the music business, the truth is that most of the real talent never gets to see success... ** Watch a clip of LaVette singing for NPR's Fresh Air: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127043684 NPR Fresh Air Interview: http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1t=1islist=falseid=99777150m=99777891 http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99777150 January 23, 2009 - If you've never heard of Bettye LaVette, the soul singer who belted out A Change Is Gonna Come with Jon Bon Jovi at the Inauguration Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial on Jan 18., you may be wondering why. There's a good reason: After a promising start in the early 1960s, when LaVette had a couple of singles that became RB hits, things just didn't work out for her. The 1972 album she recorded for Atlantic that was supposed to be her breakthrough wasn't released until 2000 when a French producer licensed it from Atlantic and started her comeback. She released her most recent CD, The Scene Of The Crime , in 2007... December 17, 2007 - Bettye LaVette recorded her first hit, My Man — He's a Lovin' Man, at the age of 16. She toured with Ben E. King, Barbara Lynn and Otis Redding. And now she's being crowned the Comeback Queen for her recent albums, I've Got My Own Hell to Raise , which came out in 2005, and her recent The Scene of the Crime . LaVette recorded The Scene of the Crime at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Ala., with the Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers and the legendary session musician and songwriter Spooner Oldham. (He played on Wilson Pickett's Mustang Sally and Aretha Franklin's I Never Loved a Man.) Most of the songs on the record are covers of soul classics that LaVette's husband, a record historian, played around the house, but she wrote the song Before the Money Came (The Battle of Bettye LaVette) herself at the prompting of Patterson Hood, guitarist and vocalist for the Drive-By Truckers. The Scene of the Crime isn't the first record LaVette made at FAME studios; a disc she cut there in 1972 was shelved by Atlantic. Those songs didn't see the light of day until the French label Art and Soul released it in 2000. Called Souvenirs , it reinvigorated LaVette's career and led to her signing with Anti Records in 2003. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127043684 May 21, 2010 We were not prepared for Bettye LaVette's appearance in the NPR Music offices. We thought we were — having set up our cameras and recording gear and signed in all the friends who had heard she was scheduled to play and beaten down our door. But then she blew into the room and conquered it before she'd sung a single note. She teased Bob Boilen mercilessly and told all the women how beautiful they were. She had reporters and producers doing her bidding all over the building. But after we cleared a spot for her to perch on the corner of Bob's desk, she went to work. The first song she sang, a cover of Ringo Starr's It Don't Come Easy, killed the room. LaVette hunched her shoulders, dropped her chin and yanked the song out of her throat. It felt like a confession. Every movement she made — whether she threw her head back in a desperate wail or drooped it to close a phrase signifying defeat — shoved further meaning into the words. Her voice was bruising, shocking, and she sang really loud. Before she began, LaVette asked us to close the blinds. It was 3 in the afternoon, but she said she was about to sing some night songs. She sang end of the night songs: It Don't Come Easy, Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me, Nights in White Satin. (Due to licensing issues, only It Don't Come Easy is available in the video above, at least for the time being.) But she took those songs — glammed up and kindly lit in the recordings we remember — and tore off their clothes. She wrestled them to the ground. It was a real performance, from which each of us emerged a little sore. At the end, LaVette's accompanist — Alan Hill, who had trained a gimlet eye on LaVette all the while — registered his approval. We should play more office parties, he said. - Original
