More people are waiting for organ transplants and dying on transplant waiting lists. So governments around the world are looking for new ways to encourage more people to be donors, and doctors are using organs that they might have rejected in the past.
Israel just launched a system where people who agree to be donors get higher priority if they ever need an organ; surgeons in Maryland recently transplanted kidneys from which they had excised tumors.
In an essay in this weekend’s WSJ, George Mason University Economist Alex Tabarrok cites these and other examples, and argues for new measures — including, perhaps, some form of compensation — to increase the supply of organs.
Another option is the “daisy chain” of live kidney donors. It’s unlikely to have as broad an impact as paying for organs, but it’s uncontroversial, and its use is already growing. Here’s how it works.
One person — call him Abe — wants to donate a kidney to Bob, but they’re not a good match. In the next town over, Carlos wants to donate a kidney to David. Also, alas, not a good match.
But, as it happens, Abe is a match for David, and Carlos is a match for Bob. So each donor can give his kidney to a stranger, in exchange for the knowledge that his own friend will get a kidney.
That basic model (known in its simplest form as paired donation) can be expanded to include lots of intermediaries — the full daisy chain — when a simple paired swap doesn’t suffice.
This kind of thing has been around for a while now, but it seems to be getting more common — and more complex — lately. A chain of 10 transplantations carried out over eight months was described last year in the New England Journal of Medicine. And late last year, doctors at two Washington hospitals did a chain of 13 transplants over six days.
If you are a user of PixelPipe, you will be happy to know that they have recently upgraded their Android App to allow one click publishing pictures taken from your in-phone camera. Simply put, they have streamlined the services provided.
When you take a picture, PixelPipe will now give you a menu right away to add a title, caption and tags to the image, then allow you to pick which social networks you want to upload the image to.
Also included in this update is the ability to publish ALL images taken automatically in the background after they have been taken. (I can see some problems with this, embarrassing problems heh).
In additional news, the Washington Post reported that the CEO of PixelPipe says that their Android App is the most popular app by far when compared to the other platforms they have the program out for. Pixelpipe says it has more new users per day coming from Android than any of the other platforms, and saw a noticeable rise in this stat after the launch of the Droid. It will be interesting to see what the Nexus One does to the user base.
PixelPipe is an app that allows you to syndicate text, audio, video and image files to 120 different social networks, blogs and sites. If you have not tried it as of yet, give it a shot. The barcode for download is included below.

Oh look, it’s Naomi before she discovered the catwalk….or Blackberries! Check out this rare footage of supermodel Naomi Campbell, age 8, making her acting debut in a 1970s Brtish children series….
Video above shows the technology in action on a big screen
GestureTek announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that it is launching a brand new engine that allows Windows® Mobile publishers and developers to integrate motion and object tracking into their gesture-control games and applications.
GestureTek’s new momo(TM) for Windows Mobile uses a mobile device’s camera to track objects and motion within the camera’s field of view. The engine defines interfaces for two trackers – the Motion tracker which determines interaction by following specific movement and the Mosaic tracker which tracks objects, including faces and hands. They provide developers with a vast array of options when developing gesture control applications.
"Momo makes possible groundbreaking mobile games that can respond to hand motions over menu items and even track the position of the user’s head," says Yoshi Kumagai, GestureTek’s Senior Vice President of Mobile.
GestureTek’s software can be delivered over the air or embedded directly into many camera-enabled devices, with no special hardware or design updates required. It is an easy to implement software solution that makes adding gesture control more cost-effective for manufacturers.
Once the software is enabled, users can shake, rock or roll their phone to play games, answer calls, shuffle playlists, navigate maps, scroll, pan, zoom, turn pages and even browse the web – all without pressing a button or touching the screen.
With Momo users can control the action using specific hand or body gestures – with no movement of the device required.
GestureTek software has widespread applications in many consumer electronics products. Many developers are already using GestureTek software to bring immersive, gesture-based interactivity to a variety of platforms, including PCs, laptops and toys.
"Greater accessibility to GestureTek’s gesture recognition software is significant for developers in the mobile and consumer electronics space," says Vincent John Vincent, President of GestureTek. "Developers now have the ability to create gesture-control games and applications for multiple platforms and to develop for multiple mobile devices, including those with hardware-based gesture control solutions (such as accelerometers) and software-based gesture control solutions."
GestureTek software is available on millions of mobile devices worldwide, including on NTT DoCoMo phones in Japan, and is used in more than 200 mobile applications. Selected handsets enabled with GestureTek’s software include models from Sony Ericsson, Nokia, NEC, HTC, Motorola, Samsung and LG.

Hollywood is gearing up for their annual awards, but there is a real problem in a fundamental part of filmmaking — a problem many of us have seen for some time. Good writing is scarce. And when you add in a list of rules so byzantine and twisted, the nominees for Best Original Screenplay and Best Adaptation from another work, turn very odd. One example: the critical acclaim for “Inglorious Basterds” is likely to earn a Best Picture nominee, but Quentin Tarantino won’t get a script nod because he is not a member of the Writer’s Guild. Then there’s writer Nick Hornby, whose movie “An Education” is gaining lots of praise and nominations, but since he belonged to the ‘wrong chapter” of the Guild, he is not eligible for an Oscar nod. The rules in place are making a shambles of the potential race for “the best” and a fine write-up at Cinematical details how everyone is being disqualified.

Tonight, film fiends will want to stay up late for a chance to see movie star Lana Turner in her one and only wacky LSD trip motion picture. Turner Classic Movies will air “The Big Cube”, made in 1969, and certainly a vivid snapshot of … hmm, well, a snapshot of Weirdness, in a groovy sexy ’60s kind of way.
It airs at 2 a.m. and is followed by another drug/romance tale, “I Love You Alice B. Toklas”. But since The Big Cube barely was released to theaters and just hit DVD last year, that is the one to watch.
Turner plays an aging actress (what a stretch) who has a daughter who speaks with an eastern European accent for some reason, and the daughter falls under the seductive allure of a Bad Man (George Chakiris from “West Side Story”) and pretty soon murder, orgies and crazed LSD trips fill the movie screen. Here’s the trailer for the movie (all nudity is genteelly blocked):

Warner Bros has released the first trailer for Leonardo DiCaprio’s science-fiction thriller, Inception.
Inception, directed by Christopher Nolan, debuts at the box office in July.
Product Description
Procerin comes in a convenient tablet form and topical solution that are used daily for the treatment of male hair loss. Procerin is an all-natural supplement available without a prescription. While there are several causes of hair loss, Procerin is effective in reversing hair loss in men caused by androgenetic alopecia, the most common cause of male hair loss. Androgenetic alopecia results in thinning hair and the familiar receding hairline (or widow’s peak)…. More >>
Product Description
Revivogen scalp therapy serum is an effective, safe topical hair loss treatment for men and women. This revitalizing anti-DHT formulation uses highly concentrated DHT blocking agents to help stop hair loss and thinning hair. This is JUST the 3 serums, does NOT include shampoo or conditioner….

Provillus is a new all natural solution that has actually been approved by FDA and is becoming more popular by the day. All the ingredients are clinically approved tropical remedies that can improve the hair growth by preventing hair loss problems. It blocks the DHT (Dehydrotestoterone) that acts as the main reason of baldness in most men.
Provillus is available in the market as a combination of liquid and capsule. As it contains no harsh chemicals that ruin your body system or hair, both men and women can use it effectively to treat their hair loss problems. It will not bring any side effects including sexual dysfunction that comes with many of the hair care solutions with chemical ingredients and that are now available in the market. The natural ingredients of this medicine will not harm the scalp or skin of the body of the person using it to cure his balding problem.
The key ingredients include Biotin, Gotu Kola, Magnesium Stearatern Muria Puania Pumpkin extract, Saw Palmetto, Silicon Dioxide, VitaminB6 and Zinc. All these natural ingredients of this product will act as an effective blocker that prevents DHT hormone from entering into the body of men. DHT hormone when it enters into the body of men will cause thinning of hair follicles that may ultimately lead to total baldness in men.
This solution is available for women also. It also does not contain any harsh chemical ingredients to harm the skin and scalp of those who use the product. All natural ingredients in Provillus for women are proven to be safe to be used as a solution for women.
When it comes to the hair loss problem of women we can see that there exists no specific pattern for hair loss in them. When compared to men it does not normally come in the younger age of women. Balding in women normally appears when they are getting older. The hair loss problem of women is most commonly associated with pregnancy, menopause and thyroid diseases.
The FDA approved tropical ingredients of this product are proved to be very effective to rejuvenate the hair follicles to stimulate hair growth level in women by providing optimal nutrition to women to make their hair grow healthy and fast.
This hair loss solution has been in the market for more than five years, is now known as an effective remedy to prevent hair loss. No side effect have been reported from the users of this product as yet.
Some other treatments that you may wish to try are two that many doctors will recommend, these are Propecia and Rogaine. Propecia is a strong chemical tablet that can have some intense side effects which is the reason most men choose to stay away from it. Rogaine is similar to Provillus, however it is not made from natural products and reportedly has headaches as a side effect for some men. Another herbal remedy however is Procerin which has been shown to also have no side effects but also doesn’t have the scientific backing or research to support their claims.

Un campus empresarial para regenerar el viejo colegio de Lekaroz El nuevo proyecto acogerá actividades educativas, culturales y económicas. La iglesia, única construcción que se mantiene, será un centro multiusos y se recuperará la regata
Los planes para el viejo colegio de Lekaroz cobran forma casi al tiempo que ha finalizado el derribo de las construcciones que albergaron el emblemático centro escolar. El Gobierno de Navarra presentó ayer el proyecto de campus empresarial que se va a impulsar para albergar iniciativas culturales, educativas y económicas que potencien la comarca de Baztán-Bidasoa. La idea, que se perfilará a lo largo de este 2010, año en el que también se tratará de llenar de contenido y empresas, incluye también un centro de inmersión lingüística, un parque empresarial y un área de acogida en la zona de la iglesia. Las nuevas construcciones tratarán de integrarse en el entorno natural y quedarán abiertos al disfrute público. (…) El proyecto para Lekaroz ha sido diseñado por un despacho de arquitectura de Pamplona – Arquitectos Asociados SL (Asoarq)- que ha resultado ganador de un concurso al que se presentaron cinco ofertas. Una de ellas, según se contó ayer a la comisión de seguimiento de Lekaroz, fue excluida, por lo que fueron cuatro los anteproyectos sobre los que se ha trabajado. El plan ganador, que se desarrollará a lo largo de este año, propone la reurbanización de los 120.868 metros cuadrados que conformaban el colegio y las parcelas próximas. De ellos, 34.000 serán edificables y el conjunto conformará un nuevo espacio que tendrá un carácter de campus empresarial. Según explicó uno de los arquitectos, Santiago Iribarren, dispondrá de grandes zonas verdes y una baja densidad, además de itinerarios peatonales y ciclistas. En concreto, se plantea la reedificación del entorno de la Iglesia como frente edificado de acogida (11.695 metros cuadrados), la transformación de las antiguas huertas en un parque empresarial de edificación flexible (49.691 metros cuadrados) y la reurbanización del entorno de los antiguos establos para la implantación de un centro de inmersión lingüística (59.482 metros cuadrados).
