Claims of Obama's ‘secret deal’ with Russia draw Democrats’ ire
Posted by admin / Under Flexible Fuel Vehicle
Democrats are crying foul over GOP suggestions that President Obama has a “secret deal” on missile defense with Russia. The fight began in March, when a hot mic at a summit caught Obama telling then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he’d have more “flexibility” on the issue after the election. Medvedev famously responded that he would transmit that information to Vladimir Putin, who is now Russia's president. Republicans immediately attacked Obama for making a secret deal, and they used this week’s floor debate on the Defense authorization bill to highlight their argument. No one in Congress has been more vocal about...

President Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space. President Medvedev: Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you… President Obama: This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility. President Medvedev: I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.

(PhysOrg.com) -- A British firm's quantum dot technology will be used for flat screen TVs and flexible screens, according to the company’s chief executive.The quantum dots will be in use for ultra thin, light flat screen TVs by the end of next year, and, in another three years, will be used in flexible screens rolled up like paper or used as wall coverings. The company, Nanoco Group, is reportedly working with Asian electronics companies to bring this technology to market. “The first products we are expecting to come to market using quantum dots will be the next generation of flat-screen...

We must confront our enemies, using whatever force is necessary. We cannot try to “shoot in the shoulder” people who are trying to blow us up, knock down our buildings and cut our throats. We cannot temporize with fanatics who are building nuclear weapons. We cannot be both “firm and flexible.” We cannot set a date to end a “war of necessity.” We cannot ignore what George Orwell taught us: “The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it.”

Health Care Reform Has Immediate Tax Increase on Certain Middle Class Employees (Vanity)
Posted by admin / Under Flexible Fuel Vehicle
There is a provision (section 532 on page 325) of the house bill that will increase taxes on lots of people. The provision places a $2,500 cap on qualifiying benefits in Flexible Spending Accounts (so called "Cafeteria Plans"). Currently there is no cap. Here's a real example. I own a small business and I provide up to $10,000 a year, per employee, into an FSA. If an employee making $50,000 a year uses the entire $10,000 for family health care coverage, it's all tax-free. Under the health care plan (both Pelosi's and the Senate Finance Committee version), only the first...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have given new meaning to the term flexibility in the context of displays. They've developed of a stretchable display connected by organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic transistors with a new highly-elastic conductor. Credit: Takao Someya, the University of Tokyo The rubbery display, pictured here on the left, can be stretched to 50% of its normal size, folded in half or crumpled up without incurring any damage, and can also cover complex three-dimensional objects. As Technology Review writes, the technology can lead to displays and simple computers that you can wear on your sleeve,...
