HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb)
2008-04-14 09:53:00 La semana pasada se presentó en el Ministerio de Ciencia japonés un robot que ha desarrollado el inventor Yoshiyuki Sankay para ayudar en su quehacer diario a aquellas personas que tengan dificultades para desplazarse o para cargar objetos pesados, como es el caso de los ancianos o quienes padecen algún tipo de discapacidad motriz leve o moderada. Hal (Hybrid Assistive Limb), que es como lo han llamado, está equipado con sensores que captan las señales nerviosas que el cerebro envía a las extremidades, de forma que es capaz de copiar los movimientos que hacen los brazos y las piernas en tiempo real.Actúa a modo de traje cibernético, como si fuera un esqueleto externo adicional, y expande, potencia y amplifica las funciones motrices del cuerpo humano. Está disponible en 2 versiones, una completa para todo el cuerpo que pesa 24 Kg y otra sólo para la mitad inferior que alcanza los 15 Kg. Aunque hace ya varios años que se viene hablando de HAL, no ha sido hasta ahora que se ha puesto...

Enrique Iglesias Risks Life and Limb for His Fans
2008-01-29 16:29:00 Cute little Enrique Iglesias looks like he's about to get his arms pulled out of their sockets if he's not careful. The international pop star reached out his hands to his fans at a performance in Acapulco and looks like he's getting as much out of giving his performance as his crazy fans are getting out it. He just needs to make sure that he comes back from the fray with all of his digits intact. He looks so thin under those clothes, with his cute little lesbian hair-cut. I just hope he's got some seriously beefy bodyguards waiting in the wings, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice because those those adolescent girls can pick the meat off a man's bones under thirty seconds.

Really funny jokes-Out on a limb......
2008-01-02 12:38:00 A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried this creative defense:"My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few trifling articles. His arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed by his limb.""Well put," the judge replied. "Using your logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not, as he chooses."The defendant smiled. With his lawyer's assistance he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench, and walked out.

World Record of Limbo Skating Under Car

Cougars Are Limber
2007-12-27 20:59:00 Rraooww. Look at Michael Bolton ignoring all that oiled cougar flesh upended in his old face! Here's Nicolette Sheridan and fiance Michael Bolton lounging around St. Barthelemy. Nic's spreading tan grease over every surface imaginable and getting her frolic on whilst Michael Bolton ignores her completely. What gives? Sure, she's 100 but she's looking good for an older type. In fact, I watched the episode of "Desperate Housewives" when the tornado attacked the street and Nic Sheridan's the best-looking broad on that show. In fact, the best part of the show was watching her run her cougar ass around to beat Eve Longoria at her own game and Felicity Huffman's cry of anguish when she thought she lost her husband Gay Matt from "Melrose Place" and the kids. And yes, Nic's got it over on Eva Longoria. Eva Longoria's irritating and might be a ladyboy. We're not sure yet.

What Is Phantom Limb Pain, Capgras Delusion And Synesthesia?
2007-12-27 05:24:00 In this very interesting video, Vilayanur Ramachandran, the director of the Center for Brain and Cognition at the University of California, San Diego, and an adjunct professor at the Salk Institute, explores how brain damage can reveal the connection between the internal structures of the brain and the corresponding functions of the mind. Firstly he talked about the Capgras delusion, where head-damaged people, who are otherwise perfectly normal, believe their family members have been replaced with imposters. He then talked about paralysed phantom limb pain. A phantom limb is a continual sensory experience of the presence of a missing limb even after amputation. In fact one might experience a phantom anywhere, even within the inner part of the body. He has developed a simple $3 tool made of a mirror and a cardboard box, which can relief excruciating phantom limb pain by using the reflection of the normal limb to get a visual feedback to the brain to un-learn a paralysis. In the la...
Trend in Singapore luxury hotels to continue upward climb: industry experts
2007-12-26 15:45:00 Trend in Singapore luxury hotels to continue upward climb: industry experts There may be worries about the world economy – especially with the ongoing subprime crisis and rising standards of living – but that hasn’t stopped interest in luxury hotels from making a steady comeback. With the recent entry of a new player in Singapore’s luxury hotel industry, the exclusive St Regis, competition looks set to heat up. St Regis opened the Saturday before Christmas, but even before it officially commenced business, the hotel has already sold out almost all its year-end dinner parties. Singapore’s hospitality sector is experiencing one of its strongest recoveries in over a decade despite the US subprime setback. In November, the average room rate (ARR) set a new milestone of S$226 per night, the highest ever in any month and up 29.8 per cent over last year, according to figures from the Singapore Tourism Board (STB). The city-state’s hotels also generated record ro...

Thoughts on Huckabee-Limbaugh
2007-12-22 20:45:00 Let me first say that I’ve never been overly enthralled with Mike Huckabee and his candidacy for presidency. He’s never struck me as overly bright individual to begin with, and his activities subsequent to announcing for the presidency, and have not changed that perception. Indeed, they’ve solidified it. The guy can’t find his backside with a flashlight, both hands and step by step instructions. That said, he’s taken on a new level of stupidity with this most recent whine about Rush Limbaugh. David’s comment to the point is nothing short of brilliant: You don’t claim to be running against the Washington elites and then pick a fight with the person who makes his living skewering the same elites. That said, let’s face facts here; the support for Huckabee in the Republican rank-and-file has never been more than lukewarm. In my hearing, Limbaugh has been walking a fine line are several days now, as regards Huckabee, apparently sensing&helli...

Singapore Record office rents continue to climb
2007-12-22 14:28:00 Singapore Record office rents continue to climb Some companies forced to move to cheaper space in older buildings By Joyce Teo, Property Correspondent  SOARING office rents have forced the Shenton Medical Group clinic out of its Republic Plaza location to a cheaper space at an older building nearby - The Arcade. The company had been paying $5 plus per sq ft (psf) since 2002-2003 but was stunned with a demand for about $18 psf in the middle of the year, when lease renewal talks started. Dr Lee Hong Huei, deputy president, Singapore operations division of ParkwayHealth, said the massive rise was a major factor in the firm’s decision to move. ‘We felt that it was a bit difficult to pass on the costs to our clients,’ he said. It is becoming a familiar story around town with companies caught between a space crunch and relentless rent rises. Parkway’s new clinic will open in January and take up a similar amount of space on part of The Arcade’s 18th floo...

Gaviidae Limbo
2007-12-12 05:55:00 Back a decade or so ago, a musician named Michelle Shocked recorded a song titled “Graffiti Limbo.†Driving back from Brownsmead late this morning, I listened to that song pumped through the speakers of my little Prius by my iPod as I headed east along Highway 30. Like most people with a bit more creativity than is good for them, I began playing with the lyrics, changing them somewhat to fit my circumstances at that moment – I was, and still am, in Gaviidae Limbo.For those who read yesterday’s post about the indecision plaguing my mind about whether to go in search of an Arctic Loon (Gavia arctica; IOC English name: Black-throated Loon) that was reported as being seen in Blind Slough near Brownsmead, Oregon. Needless to say, I worked out the necessaries with my family and drove off into the pre-dawn darkness this morning in pursuit of that very bird. It was a smooth trip, the site was easily located, and I may have seen the bird I sought. That’s the problem.I “may have s...
US October Pending Home Sales Climb
2007-12-11 23:10:00 A forward-looking indicator of home sales in the U.S. rose during October, the second climb in a row. The National Association of Realtors? index for pending sales of previously owned homes increased at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 0.6% to 87.2 in October from September?s 86.7, the industry group said. The level of the gauge was 85.5 in August and 91.4 in July. The NAR is forecasting sales and prices to drop in 2007 and rise weakly in 2008. NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun said the worst part of the credit crunch has been accounted for in the data, and that mortgage conditions have gotten better. ?Some postponed activity should turn up in existing-home sales over the next couple of months, and I expect sales at fairly stable to slightly higher levels,? he said.Finally we have some good press. The Howard County market is typically much stronger than the national market. Recently, I have been saying the market slow down is overrated. There are a l...
