| A Neolib New Deal?:
Omigod, not the Web site! Will Saletan argues the fuss over Lieberman's downed Web site shows the Internet has "arrived" as a force in politics: ... [I]n the election's final hours, the Lieberman campaign treated the crash of its Web site as fatal sabotage, and the media and law enforcement took the charge seriously. Losing your Web site on Election Day is now regarded as the equivalent of having your phones jammed or your TV ads rejected by stations. Even for campaigns that don't use it well, the Web has become not just an asset, but a necessity. Hmmm. Here's an alternative theory: Lieberman "treated the crash of its Web site as fatal sabotage" because that was a great anti-Lamont story for him to have in the headlines during the last 24 hours of the campaign! I doubt the Web site was particularly vital to the incumbent senator's old-fashioned campaign.
Potential To Restore Range Of Motion, Accelerate Healing Using Freeze ...
Donated, freeze-dried tendon grafts loaded with gene therapy may soon offer effective repair of injured tendons, a goal that has eluded surgeons to date. According to study data published in the journal Molecular Therapy, a new graft technique may provide the first effective framework around which flexor tendon tissue can reorganize as it heals. Such tissue-engineering approaches could significantly improve repair of anterior cruciate ligaments and rotator cuffs as well, researchers said. The study was in a mouse model designed to resemble hard-to-repair flexor tendons in human hands, and the results should provide an impetus for future clinical trials.
Tendons are elastic cords that anchor muscle to bone and enable flexing muscle to move limbs. Related injuries represent nearly half of 33 million U.S.
Get TechWeb's RSS Feed
RSS is an Internet format that gives you a new way to quickly and easily access Web-based headlines, blurbs, and article links from a wide variety of sources. It's most often used for showing the latest headlines from online newspapers, magazines, weblogs, and vendor and technology information sites.
Using Automatic Discovery
To access an RSS feed, you need a software program known as a news aggregator or RSS reader. If you already have a news aggregator and it supports auto-discovery, you can usually add an RSS link for a given site by using your aggregator to surf the home page of that Web site.
Adding An RSS Link Manually
When auto-discovery doesn't work, the manual process is easy enough:
1. Copy the RSS feed link from the content site.
Banks treating Swan like a 'mug'
Opposition treasury spokesman Malcolm Turnbull backed comments by former Coalition treasurer Peter Costello last week that the banks were taking advantage of Treasurer Wayne Swan's inexperience. "Wayne Swan is being treated like a mug by the banks, no question," Mr Turnbull said on ABC radio today. He described as "absolutely dismal" Mr Swan's performance on interest rates. "When the NAB came out and put up rates the first time, Wayne Swan defended them with an eager enthusiasm that made him sound like a public relations officer for the Australian Bankers Association," Mr Turnbull said. The threat of the banks raising mortgage rates independently of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) was "always coming up in the lift". "Wayne Swan did nothing to get ready for it.
