Economist Paul Krugman Endorses 'Watchmen' Alien Invasion Plan for Fiscal Recovery - ComicsAlliance | Comic book culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews
Every Watchmen fan remembers the plot of Adrian Veidt a.k.a. Ozymandias: Save the world from the imminent threat of nuclear war by creating the even bigger threat of an alien invasion, and forcing the people of the world to unite against a greater enemy. Yesterday, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman sounded very similar to a modern-day Ozymandias during his appearance on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS show, where he suggested that a fake alien invasion -- and the government spending it would create -- would fix the economic slump within 18 months.
Think about World War II -- that was actually negative social product spending and yet it brought us out... If we discovered that space aliens were planning to attack and we needed a massive build-up to counter the space alien threat, and inflation and budget deficits took secondary place to that, this slump would be over in 18 months. And then if we discovered, "whoops, we made a mistake," we'd [still] be better... There was a Twilight Zone episode like this, in which scientists fake an alien threat in order to achieve world peace. Well, this time we need it to get some fiscal stimulus.

Shifting Bike Gears with Your Mind [Video]
Toyota reached out to Parlee Cycles and Deeplocal to build an aero-road bike imbued with the same forward-thinking that went into the design of the Prius. Benefitting from a monocoque carbon-fiber frame, built-in smartphone dock, countless wind-tunnel-tested aerodynamic tweaks and its unprecedented mind-powered shifter, the PXP concept bike has emerged as a purpose-built machine that blends the simple with the complex to become a better and more efficient version of itself.

The SDCC Files: In Memoriam – The Black Panel Pays Tribute To Dwayne McDuffie | Racialicious - the intersection of race and pop culture
Image via WikipediaI've been on a look out for any information on the Dwayne McDuffie tribute during the Black Panel at the San Diego Comic Con 2011 for the past few weeks! At least there was this following post describing what occurred during the event! I totally agree with the following: Those testimonials underscored McDuffie’s legacy to both of the industries he worked in – one Cowan exhorted the audience to continue on his behalf.
“Bury the man, but not the plan,” Cowan said. “The revolution goes on.”

Iron Man-Like Exoskeleton Nears Production - Technology Review
Here is an article about the Raytheon Sarcos robot exoskeleton. The article states that they are just 5 years from production. I posted a blog post about two years ago on their work. So this means that they have come pretty far in terms of progress. Raytheon's second-generation exoskeleton (XOS 2), essentially a wearable robotics suit, was unveiled for the first time recently during an event at the company's Salt Lake City research facility. XOS 2 is lighter, stronger and faster than its predecessor, yet it uses 50 percent less power, and its new design makes it more resistant to the environment.
The wearable robotics suit is being designed to help with the many logistics challenges faced by the military both in and out of theater. Repetitive heavy lifting can lead to injuries, orthopedic injuries in particular. The XOS 2 does the lifting for its operator, reducing both strain and exertion. It also does the work faster. One operator in an exoskeleton suit can do the work of two to three soldiers. Deploying exoskeletons would allow military personnel to be reassigned to more strategic tasks. The suit is built from a combination of structures, sensors, actuators and controllers, and it is powered by high pressure hydraulics.
Representatives from Paramount Home Entertainment, including the actor Clark Gregg (aka Agent Phil Coulson of the Marvel® Movie franchise) were in attendance to capture footage of XOS 2 to include in a video that's being produced to support the release of Iron Man® 2 on DVD and Blu ray.

Answering Muslims: Teenage Apostate Susan Ithungu Tortured and Starved by Her Muslim Father
In March 2010 an evangelist from Bwera Full Gospel Church spoke at Susan’s school, and she decided to trust Christ for her salvation.
“I heard the message of Christ’s great love of him dying for us to get everlasting peace, and there and then I decided to believe in Christ,” she said from her hospital bed. “After a month, news reached my father that I had converted to Christianity, and that was the beginning of my troubles with him. Our father warned us not to attend church or listen to the gospel message. He even threatened us with a sharp knife that he was ready to kill us in broad daylight in case we converted to Christianity.”
There have been many discussions on this blog about what a true Christian is and Susan is a living example In the face of profound persecution, she holds on to the faith that God gives her. She doesn't run away. She doesn't recant. She does not "put her hand to the plow and look back." She does not console her self of her inability to know Jesus by saying no one does. She does know Jesus. It's the only way to explain how she is able to endure as she has. We need to pray for people like Susan because she isn't the only one suffering because she refuses to back down from Jesus. There are many people all over the world who don't have it as cushy as we have it in the United States.
