DIY Cockroach Robot can Survive a 300-foot Fall Off a Building!
2009-10-27 02:04:00 The UC Berkeley EECS department has been developing these robots that mimic traits of a cockroach and can also survive a 300-foot fall from the top of a building to the ground. Apparently, this could possibly lead to better disaster-proof designs for airplanes, cars, and alike. Heck, I would like them to build a life-sized cockroach ...

Can SMS Ever Be Dead? Can You Survive Without Them?
2009-09-10 10:29:00 With the ever-improving telecom infrastructure, can it ever happen that one fine day people stop text messaging once in for all? Vinay Goel, Head of products, Google India certainly thinks so. In a recent interview, Mr.Goel predicts that people are moving more and more towards e-mailing via their mobile phones that SMS may become obsolete pretty soon. “Typically, the data plans currently on offer charge 10 paise for 10 kb. So an email of say 100 bytes would cost 0.1 paise as compared with an SMS of around 100 characters which normally costs Rs 1″ he said. So, will text messaging die? It simply cannot, in my opinion. And this is not the first time SMS has a death warrant issued against it, either. Way back in the early part of the decade, when mobile phones with MMS capability became common, it was often argued that a picture is worth a thousand words and so people are no longer going to use the plain text messages. SMS has come a long way since then. Mr. Goel has fai...

Will "lingerie" football survive?
2009-09-04 22:01:00 The Sears Centre will transform itself into a legitimate football arena for female football or a giant gentlemen's club in disguise. What do you think? I'm staring at a group of Chicago Bliss season tickets that I'm hesitant to take. My wife will kill me if I try to set foot in that stadium. But if the football playing is quality, I'm going to the Lingerie Bowl. Chicago Bliss Dennis McKinnon, former Bear, will be coaching the ladies as Chicago gives the green light on scantilly clad women on the gridiron. But is this any different than men wearing skin tight pants? I think not. Women love to see well cut wide receivers and burly middle linebackers running after the pigskin. So...

How to survive an abnormal pap smear
2009-08-22 22:34:00 This one is for my girls. But of course, right now, my male readers, all two of you, are squirming and about to bounce. Relax. An abnormal pap smear might happen to one of *your* girls and then you should know how to help for a change. Instead of just sitting around, scratching your balls. Which might be why we’re in this predicament in the first place. Dolls, if you get a phone call from your doctor saying you have atypical cells all up in your junk and need to be scheduled for a colposcopy, here are some helpful hints. Cry it out: Take about ten minutes to pull a Holly Hunter from Broadcast News. Exercising, sex, hitting someone or crying (and sometimes all four at the same time) can be great stress relief. Take a deep breath – Don’t spend too much time feeling sorry for yourself. Somewhere, someone has been through worse and gotten through it. Toughen up, cupcake.

How to Survive a Family Reunion
2009-08-18 01:53:00 Photo from Queen Photographer Extraordinaire and Awesome Cousin: Karen Thayne I was making the 1100 mile journey for my kids. Our family hadn’t pulled off a decent reunion since the late 1990s when the economy was booming, my hair was out of control, and Nana was still alive. Since then, I’ve seen relatives at the usual places – weddings, funerals, and the occasional sheriff’s website, but somehow that wasn’t enough. A reunion sounded like fun. It would mean getting into a car with two kids I’d threatened to sell overseas less than a week earlier. It would mean having to smell my Uncle’s chili. It would mean close encounters with flying false teeth. But at almost ten years of age, Oldest and Youngest didn’t know half their family members. This year, that would change. Even if it meant group therapy and medication later in life for all of us. But I wasn’t making the drive for me. I was subjecting myself to lectures about inappropriate humor, drunken ramblings about...

Could you survive in a public housing high-rise? Part I
2009-06-30 20:45:00 The Tribune's Sara Olkon wrote today on the tension between public housing residents and condo owners at Westhaven, which I blogged about when WBEZ's Natalie Moore covered it a few weeks back. Same stuff - condo owners get mad because CHA residents hang out in public spaces. We always talk about how the condo owners want it quiet and don't want people hanging around. I can sympathize with that. It's annoying to have loud neighbors. They keep you up at night. It's disconcerting to see people you don't know hanging around your building.But here's the thing: that's only one way of looking at it. We talk about building skills a lot with public housing residents. Educational skills, job skills, interview...
How to Survive Living at Home With Your Parents…When You are Almost
2009-06-28 02:49:00 If you find yourself back home with the ‘rents while looking for a place to live, towing a spouse and two kids behind you, here’s how to get through the experience with some style and grace. What makes me an expert? One time I yelled “NASCAR isn’t a sport!” Just last week I tasted Mom’s leftovers, accidentally ate bacon, and ended up on the toilet for three hours. Don’t get me started about where I mistakenly stored my love toys. (Hint: Stay away from dresser drawers marked Rosary Collection.) Style and grace. Trust me. Here we go. 1. Pretend you are deaf and blind. This is especially helpful if you are a converted Jew who hardly believes in God and your parents are devout Catholics. Just pretend you don’t hear the nightly chanting of the rosary. Make believe you can’t see Jesus looking at you in every room. Ignore kids’ questions like, “What’s wrong with Nana?” But be careful when moving about in the Ho...

Natalie Neff and her Fiesta survive a roque tire
2009-06-15 12:44:00 Natalie Neff, an up-and-coming editor at AutoWeek, was almost killed by a runaway tire. The tire came off an old Cutlass traveling in the opposite direction, took a bounce, and came down on top of the Fiesta she was test driving at approx. 75 miles per hour. Thanks to fate and the Fiesta's boron steel windshield frame, she survived and walked away from the incident. Read her article about it here: http://www.autoweek.com/article-/20090610/CARNEWS/906109990&nbs-p; There remains the question of how a tire came off the Cutlass. Presumably the owner was ticketed... presumably the tire was improperly torqued or was worn out. Kudos to Ford for the new Ford Fiesta. This car clearly isn't some cheap little econo-box. It's a very well designed car, high quality, and carefully executed. This, and the upcoming new Focus, demonstrate what the Europeans have been telling us for years: that quality, luxury, and driving dynamics can be had in small cars. These ...
10 Ways to Survive Facebook
2009-06-09 23:08:00 To maintain good mental health and cut down on panic attacks, one should follow a certain set of rules when using Facebook, Twitter, and other online networking sites. I would argue even the free-for-all, but not-for-you, bulletin boards over at Craigslist demand a certain protocol and code of ethics. For example, Downtown Dolly doesn’t do fecal play. Don’t make her flag your ass. I’m not suggesting we need online security guards to enforce and punish. Rather, policing ourselves seems the way to go. My guidelines should be considered *suggestions* instead of commandments written in stone. View the following as a living list, if you will, sort of like Catechism. Feel free to pull a Pope and add or subtract as you deem necessary. Come on, peeps, you know yourself. What will allow you to interact positively with as many people as possible without wanting to slit your wrists? Adhering to my behavior norms will set you free. Pinky swear. Who am I to offer such advice? I...

How to Survive Summer Camp - Or Not
2009-06-08 20:46:00 In honor of summertime, one of my Sunday Journal entries published in The St. Petersburg Times… I arrived at summer camp with my sister and an attitude. “Look at the cabins, trees and flowers,” Michele said, full of preteen optimism. A few years older, I knew there was nothing to get excited about. “You think sharing a room with me is bad,” I said. “You’ll be ready to scream after a week with six other girls and no air conditioning. When we go outside for a breath of fresh air, millions of mosquitoes will be there to greet us.” I preferred a performing arts camp in the city where we’d sing, dance, and act for adoring audiences. My mother hoped I would discover something about myself during this weeklong learning experience. I knew better. During our first camp meeting, the counselors outlined policies and procedures. They discussed hikes and other adventures where we’d see and learn about plants, trees, rocks and wildlife....

Exclusive Interview: Will Joss Whedon Survive the DOLLHOUSE?
2009-01-30 18:44:00 Attention Fans: It’s officially time to cut Joss Whedon a little slack Because as it turns out, there is an incredibly high price to pay for having a track record of culturally relevant television, millions of passionate followers, and Summer Glau on your speed dial. That price: An almost inhumane level of self-inflicted pressure and fan expectation. Expectation that is about to reach a boiling point as the Whedonverse (yes, he has his own universe) anxiously count down the days (14 in case you’re wondering) until the February 13th bow of his highly anticipated new FOX series DOLLHOUSE. None of which comes as a surpise to Joss Whedon himself, who was only too happy to sit down with this TV Addict at FOX’s recent January press junket in Los Angeles to talk about surviving the Dollhouse. Talk about the pressure you’re feeling right now. Joss Whedon: There is pressure, but it’s the same pressure I always feel. It’s the same pressure I felt in high sc...

Tips To Survive The Recession
2009-01-15 23:25:00 Recession is one word which we all fear and the reason is simple because simply said there is now growth especially for the companies and the economy as a whole.As an individual the effect is that when the company does not grow it does two things either it will cut down spending or will look for growth somewhere else. When it looks for growth somewhere else it means mainly outside the country in the growing economies of the world which are India and China. In both of these scenarios the existing employees have a tough task saving their jobs. Since the company want to cut down spending they will let the employees go as that is the easiest thing to do when you want to cut costs. Most of the employees are caught unawares when these things happen because when the going is good you never think about these things. So make sure that you think about a life without a job when that happens. The main important thing is that when there is no job you should at least have cash to survive. It is v...

Can China's banks survive the financial storm?
2008-10-16 22:12:00 From ReutersBy Michael Flaherty and Samuel Shen - AnalysisHONG KONG/SHANGHAI (Reuters) - With signs of cracks appearing across China's credit system, concerns are growing that the country's banks may be ill-equipped to handle a drop in the Chinese economy.Corporate collapses and defaults in the last few weeks, together with a tightening interbank lending market, show that China's banks are hardly in the clear when it comes to negotiating their way through the global financial turbulence.Some of the country's financial groups, including large, state-run institutions such as ICBC and China Merchants Bank, have the benefit of government ownership and relatively small exposure to the West's subprime mortgage mess.The main concern is focused on smaller commercial banks, whose regional concentration makes it harder to withstand a downturn than the larger, more diverse state-run banks.There are around 8,500 rural financial institutions and 125 city commercial banks, with Bank of Shang...
