GLOBAL SOLUTION? WIRELESS BROADBAND
Australia’s incumbent telco Telstra has already gone live with a 21Mbps mobile network while Vodafone in Europe is testing a 28.8Mbps equivalent…then we’re looking at networks that promise roughly 10Mbps. That’s almost double the UK fixed broadband average speed… Source
Quantitative easing
Now the Federal Reserve has effectively cut the target lending rate to zero, it only has one more weapon in its arsenal. Senior Editor Paddy Hirsch explains what this nuclear option it is, and what the Fed hopes to do.
LETS MOVE TO THE MOON…
[See last post below: It's official NASA confirms WATER ON THE MOON]
It is hard to dispute the facts as the Earth never tells a lie. We continue consuming and populating the planet with limited resources, so lets look at the numbers as to why we face these changes?
Births, Annual Number
India 27,008,000
China 16,029,000
United States 4,354,000
Gross National Income Per Capita, 2007 (US$)
China $5,370
India $2,740
United States $45,850
Solution: Developing and producing solar cells at the price a Chinese and Indian worker can afford to provide sufficient energy for them to join the middle class.
And with a few degrees of ocean water temperature changes we can look for the release of Methane Clathrates the pandoras box of gases 10,000 times worse.
So who do you guess pollutes the most as we race to a global population by 2050 of 9,309,051,539 ?
Arctic sea ice declined this summer to its second smallest extent in the satellite era, suggesting that the record set in 2007 may not have been an anomaly. If recent trends in the melt rate continue, we could see a virtually ice-free Arctic each summer much sooner than previously thought.
As a result we will build new cities…

Global Warming: NASA study suggests extreme summer warming
A new study by NASA scientists suggests that greenhouse-gas warming may raise average summer temperatures in the eastern United States nearly 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the 2080s.

Enter the ATLAS OF THE HUMAN JOURNEY presented by National Geographic Society and access the online results.
Are you from East Africa? Are we all connected?
Enter the world of our past by giving a cheek swab you can sample your own DNA with potential results that will reveal your deep ancestry along a single line of direct descent (paternal or maternal) and show the migration paths they followed thousands of years ago so order today ($99).
The Genographic Project is a five-year research partnership led by National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Spencer Wells. Dr. Wells and a team of renowned international scientists and IBM researchers, are using cutting-edge genetic and computational technologies to analyze historical patterns in DNA from participants around the world to better understand our human genetic roots.
NBC Reviews the Project.
The Sorenson Database is the foremost collection of genetic genealogy data in the world. Search by DNA results or surname and find your place in the worldwide genetic family tree.
The Genographic Project’s findings … that modern humans had a close brush with extinction in the evolutionary past. The number of early humans may have shrunk as low as 2,000 before numbers began to expand again in the Late Stone Age, (BBC).
Technology and Emerging Countries – 2008 Video Library leading up to the 2009 Show in Las Vegas Jan. 8 – 11
The Consumer Electronics Show debuted in New York in 1967; 17,500 attendees saw goods from 200 exhibitors. Now it’s 140,000 people and 2,700 companies.

To create the powder, the pig cells are spun, dried and mashed. When the material is placed over a wound, the stem cells circulating in the body recognize the empty matrix and begin moving into the area. The matrix then signals the stem cells to differentiate into whatever specific cells are needed to “heal” the area. For example, placing the powder next to a bone spurs the development of bone cells. Near a vessel, the power stimulates the growth of cells that form new vessels.

Part 2
Currently, the only way to replace lost body parts is to use donor tissue/organs or a man-made prosthesis. But scientists are getting closer to developing natural replacements.
Researchers with the Pittsburgh Tissue Engineering Initiative have developed a special “powder” they are testing as a springboard for the growth of lost tissue. The powder is made from extracellular matrix (ECM), a type of tissue taken from a pig’s bladder. ECM is a supporting scaffold secreted by cells. It’s made of protein fibers (collagen, elastin, fibrillin, fibronectin and laminin) and proteoglycans (a protein core with attached chains of polysaccharide molecules). The ECM regulates cell division and growth, survival and differentiation of stem cells into specific types of cells.
