Task Force Takes 31 Suspected Drug Dealers Off The Streets
Biggest Drug Sweep in McKean Co. History
McKean County District Attorney Ray Learn just issued the following news release:
Today, the McKean County Drug Task Force arrested thirty-one (31) suspected drug dealers from various parts of McKean County. In the first operation of its size, seventeen officers from the McKean County Drug Task Force, assisted by thirteen law enforcement officers from other county and municipal law enforcement agencies, made arrests in nearly fifty (50) cases for Felony drug delivery charges. These charges span from early 2009 to June of 2010. The sweep resulted in the seizure of five vehicles, quantities of cocaine and cash, prescription pills, and drug paraphernalia.
Participating in the operation was the McKean County Drug Task Force, McKean County District Attorney's Office, Bradford City Police Department, Bradford Township Police Department, Foster Township Police Department, Port Allegany Police Department, Smethport Police Department, McKean County Sherriff's Department, Cattaraugus County Sherriff's Department Canine Unit, McKean County Adult Probation, McKean County Children and Youth Services, Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, and the McKean County Humane Society.
District Attorney Ray Learn said: "This was an enormous undertaking that was made possible by the cooperation of all the law enforcement agencies involved. We had officers in several places throughout the county executing arrest and search warrants simultaneously all day. Today's sweep was the culmination of nearly two years of work conducted by the Drug Task Force. The Officer's and prosecutors that were involved have worked extremely hard on making this happen. It is a top priority of my office to address the significant drug issues plaguing McKean County. I want the message to be clear; that drug dealers will be prosecuted in McKean County. I also want to thank the County Commissioners for their continued support of the Drug Task Force."

Don't Get Taken In By This New Twist By Scammers
New scam asks people to pay a tax on an imported sweepstakes prize
LIAM MIGDAIL-SMITH, The Patriot-News
A new telephone scam, which is targeting some homes in central Pennsylvania, asks people to pay an import tax on a sweepstakes prize.
One caller, who says they're from Publisher's Clearing House, a company that hosts sweepstakes nationally, calls a home saying the resident has won almost $500,000. The next day someone posing as a customs officer calls saying they've intercepted the check and they'll need the resident to pay a one percent tax - $5,000 - on it.
Margaret Crossan, of Publisher's Clearing House, said the company's name is often thrown around in scams since they're linked to winning prizes. But if you get a call asking for money or information, it's a scam. Publisher's Clearing House will never ask you for money and there's no reason any other agency would ask for money in relation to winning one of the company's sweepstakes, Crossan said. More...

EQB Holds Hearing On Updated Gas Well Regulations For Marcellus Shale
Public: Drilling rules must be stronger
By DAVID THOMPSON - dthompson@sungazette.com
Sun Gazette
A state Environmental Quality Board public hearing on proposed well casing standards for the oil and gas industry attracted a small crowd Wednesday to Lycoming College.
Although only a handful of people testified during the hearing, most of them voiced concerns that the proposed standards are not strong enough.
The proposed regulations would "update existing requirements regarding the drilling, casing, cementing, testing, monitoring and plugging of oil and gas wells, and the protection of water supplies," said Patrick D. Henderson, executive director of the state Senate Environmental Resource Committee, which is chaired by Sen. Mary Jo White, R-Franklin.
The hearing was one in a series held to gather testimony from the public regarding the proposed regulations. A hearing was held recently in Tunkhannock and others are scheduled for Pittsburgh and Meadville, Henderson said. More...

County Applying For Help With Archiving, Record Retention

Fish & Boat Commission Reminds Boaters that Boating Under the Influence is a Crime
Boating Under the Influence is a Crime
Harrisburg, PA – With the summer boating season in full swing, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) is reminding vacationers that boating under the influence (BUI) is a serious crime and a threat to public safety, a fact underscored last week when an Clinton County man pleaded "no contest" to criminal charges resulting from a 2009 boat crash that killed a 12-year-old girl.
"Boating under the influence is no different than driving a car after someone's been drinking," said PFBC Director of Law Enforcement Tom Kamerzel. "Alcohol impairs an individual's ability to operate a vehicle safely. For the safety of all individuals on the water, please do not operate your boat, jet ski, canoe or kayak if you've been drinking."
On July 16, John Edward Englert II pleaded "no contest" to numerous criminal charges filed against him as a result of the July 10, 2009, boating crash. The Mill Hall man pleaded "no contest" to five criminal counts, including homicide by vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, two simple assault charges, obstruction of the administration of law, and driving a water craft while under the influence. The homicide by vehicle charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of three years in prison.
PFBC Waterways Conservation Officer Tom Nunamacher led the investigation and assisted the Clinton County District Attorney's Office in developing the case. The victim was a passenger on a boat struck by a boat driven by Englert.
Last year, PFBC officers arrested 57 individuals for boating under the influence. So far this year, 24 individuals have been charged with boating under the influence.
"Many boaters may not know that the threshold for BUI is the same as with motor vehicles – 0.08 percent," added Kamerzel. "Fish and Boat officers regularly patrol waterways. If officers suspect someone is boating under the influence, they can arrest the individual on the spot."
The mission of the Fish and Boat Commission is to protect, conserve, and enhance the Commonwealth's aquatic resources and provide fishing and boating opportunities. For more information, visit our website at www.fishandboat.com.

PennDOT Hails Volunteers for Collecting 12 Million Pounds of Litter in Spring Cleanup Effort
Volunteers Collected 12 Million Pounds of Litter
Harrisburg – More than 186,000 volunteers cleaned 19,373 miles of roads, trails and shorelines in Pennsylvania during the Great American Cleanup of PA, which ran from March 1 to May 31, PennDOT Secretary Allen D. Biehler, P.E. said.
"My sincere thanks to everyone who gave of their time and worked so hard to improve our state's environment and appearance," Biehler said. "While it's unfortunate that some inconsiderate people still choose to litter, we are lucky to have thousands of volunteers who participate in Adopt-A-Highway and join in cleanup events every year."
During the cleanup, 12 million pounds of trash was collected, with 3.7 million pounds collected by PennDOT's Adopt-A-Highway program volunteers. There were 4,822 reported cleanup events statewide. Of the total miles cleaned, Adopt-A-Highway groups cleaned a record 12,340 miles of roadways, with the help of nearly 104,000 volunteers.
Over the past three years, the Great American Cleanup of Pennsylvania has yielded more than 29.5 million pounds of collected trash, involved 533,627 volunteers and resulted in 54,940 miles of roadways cleaned. As part of those efforts, 284,838 Adopt-A-Highway volunteers collected more than 10.9 million pounds of litter on 32,678 miles of highway in that same period.
PennDOT requires that Adopt-A-Highway volunteers complete four cleanups per year, and the groups were encouraged to join in the Great American Cleanup of PA. The 7,156 groups in the Adopt-A-Highway program have two-year commitments and have adopted 16,562 roadway miles.
PennDOT provides gloves and safety vests for Adopt-A-Highway and Great American Cleanup of PA groups. The department typically spends approximately $11 million annually for litter pickup with department staff.

DEP Gives Cabot Oil & Gas 60 Days
DEP Gives Cabot Oil & Gas 60 Days to Implement Permanent Fix to Impacted Water Supplies in Susquehanna County Township
Company Required to Continue Providing Water Supplies in Interim May Resume Drilling Outside Affected Area
MEADVILLE -- The Department of Environmental Protection this week gave Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. 60 days to permanently fix the water supplies that were affected by the company's natural gas drilling operations in Dimock, Susquehanna County.
The directive is part of a modified consent order and agreement between the agency and the company that requires Cabot to continue providing temporary water services until the permanent solution can be implemented.
The 60-day timetable represents an extension that was made necessary when residents in the affected area objected to the company's previous proposal to fix the water contamination issue.
"This week's modification to the consent order and agreement gives us more time to find a water supply solution that will address the needs and concerns of residents," said DEP Secretary John Hanger. "Our goal is to find a permanent solution that will be agreeable to all parties."
In April 2010, DEP and Cabot entered into a modification of the original consent order and agreement that was executed in November 2009. One of the provisions required whole-house water treatment systems to be installed in 14 homes as a permanent water supply resolution.
After the document was signed, several of those residents expressed dissatisfaction with whole-house treatment systems. DEP met with a number of them in May to discuss their concerns.
Due to the resident reaction, Cabot requested an extension of the consent order and agreement time frame to install a permanent solution. DEP agreed to delay enforcement of that provision to allow for additional discussions with residents. Meanwhile, several residents in the affected area appealed the April modification to the consent order and agreement to the Environmental Hearing Board.
Also in April, DEP suspended its review of Cabot's pending permit applications for new drilling activities statewide until the company fulfilled its obligations to plug and repair the wells that caused the gas migration, which caused the water contamination.
This week's modification acknowledges Cabot's progress to date under the earlier agreement. In particular, Cabot has plugged three gas wells, as required, and has made repairs to another well. As a result, DEP will resume reviewing Cabot applications only for permits to drill gas wells outside of the affected area in Dimock Township.
Except for the permanent water supply and permit application review provisions, all other terms and conditions of the November 2009 consent order and agreement and April 2010 modification remain in effect, including the restrictions on drilling and hydrofracturing within the affected area.
Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. is headquartered in Houston, Tex. with a mailing address in Pittsburgh.

Statewide Meetings Planned For Regulatory Proposals To Make Gas Wells Safer
Public Input Sought on Proposals to Strengthen Oil and Gas Well Protections
Statewide Meetings Planned
HARRISBURG -- The Environmental Quality Board is inviting the public to comment on proposed regulatory changes that will substantially improve the safety of oil and gas wells across Pennsylvania and protect the state's water resources from contamination.
The proposed rules would amend state regulations for casing and cementing wells. The Department of Environmental Protection proposed the rule changes to strengthen construction standards for oil and gas wells. A properly cased and cemented well is critical to keeping gas, oil and other fluids contained inside the well bore and away from fresh groundwater.
The more rigorous standards are intended to prevent gas from migrating from a well, where it could contaminate a water supply or possibly enter a home and reach combustible levels. Among the new standards would be requirements for pressure-testing those casings used in Marcellus Shale wells, for using oilfield-grade cement, and for using blowout preventers.
The new regulations will also require well operators to inspect all existing wells quarterly to ensure each is structurally sound, and report the results of these inspections to DEP. The amendments would also clearly define a drilling company's responsibility for responding to gas migration issues.
To comment or present testimony on these proposed amendments, members of the public can attend one of the following four public hearings:
• Wednesday, July 21 -- 7 p.m.
Lycoming College
Heim Science Center Building
Room G-11
700 College Place, Williamsport, PA 17701
• Thursday, July 22 -- 7 p.m.
Northwest Regional Office
1st Floor Conference Room
230 Chestnut St., Meadville, PA 16335
Southwest Regional Office
Waterfront Conference Room A and B
400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745
• Monday, July 26 -- 7 p.m.
The public comment period will remain open through Monday, Aug. 9.
If unable to attend a meeting, members of the public may mail comments, suggestions or objections to the Environmental Quality Board, P.O. Box 8477, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8477 or to Rachel Carson State Office Building, 16th Floor, 400 Market St., Harrisburg, PA 17101-2301. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted.
Comments may also be e-mailed before the deadline to RegComments@state.pa.us. A subject heading of the proposed rulemaking and a return name and address for any response to comments provided must be included in each e-mail.

While you've probably been able to optimize Firefox a lot by going into about:config or installing helpful extensions, you can still go a step further by finding the custom Firefox build that is right for your processor and instruction set. The official build of Firefox is the one that you download from mozilla.com, but it isn't necessarily the best version for your system.
Third-parties (other users like yourself) have built more specialized versions of Firefox optimized for your computer. These builds are unofficial so user beware. Since only one copy of Firefox can be installed on your system, these unofficial builds are either packaged as Zip or 7-Zip files. Just decompress and test them out.
When browsing through the builds that are available, you'll see acronyms like SSE, K7, and so on. These are the instruction sets that are used by your system. SSE refers to Pentium 3 and some AMD processors. SSE2 refers to Pentium 4, Pentium M, Pentium Xeon, and some AMD processors. K7 and K8 refer to AMD processors. Other terms: trunk builds are absolutely bleeding edge Firefox releases so they may not be stable while branch builds are usually more optimized and stable. Choose the right build for your system by getting the build that matches your processor and instruction set.
mmoy: There are builds for 32- and 64-bit, Intel, AMD, and Apple processors optimized for different instruction sets (SSE, MMX, etc.).
bangbang023: You'll find builds for SSE2-supporting processors here.
Swiftfox: These builds are specifically for Linux-running AMD or Intel processors.
BlueFyre: These builds are optimized for Athlon XP and some Duron processors.
For more, see the Unofficial Builds Forum.

Q: df.loc and value count So I am trying to get the first letter of a column and then get the value counts for that letter
df5 = pd.DataFrame(df['EmployeeLastName'].astype(str).str[0].value_counts())

and then select only the values that are more than 50
df5.loc[df5['EmployeeLastName'] > 50]

Is there a way I can accomplish this without creating a new data frame?
I tried this put it is resulting in an error.
df.loc[ df['EmployeeLastName'].astype(str).str[0].value_counts() > 50 ]

Thanks

A: Use groupby and transform
df.loc[(df.groupby(df['EmployeeLastName'].str[0])
          .transform('count') > 50).squeeze()]

September has been a weird month for sewing - done in fits and spurts.
I may not have done much, but I did devote some time to September's RSC color of orange.
Filled in the gaps with green, blue, yellow, and black SJSs that were partially finished.
There was even a bit of orange in a "found" project this month.
participants did with orange this month.
There are many advantages to cleaning up your sewing room periodically.
These were buried on the outer reaches of my Koala table.
Buried since April of last year!
How convenient that there are a few more days left in September.
More Buckeye Beauty blocks are on my agenda.
interesting critter on my deck last week.
I couldn't tell if it was coming or going.
I wonder what it will be when it grows up.
First, an update on Monday. I needed a recovery day so I spent the entire day at the sewing machine. I was able to get half the rows into twosies on the quilt I'm calling Triangle Bliss.
This quilt was inspired by a quilt in Fons & Porters Quilting Quickly, May-June 2015.
The video tutorial mentioned at the bottom of the photo is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feOcEVq7hL4.
After a day of happy sewing, I was ready to get back to the studio rearrangement today. Mr. Hillside decided to go ahead and move his desk even though the chair pad to go on the upstairs carpet has not arrived. As soon as he had all the major pieces out of the way, I moved the Koala table across the room.
There's still a lot of surface detritus that needs to be relocated. I am determined to deal with it and not just shuffle it to another surface. The area where the Koala table had been is now waiting for the quilt frame.
For the nine years Queen Mother (invalid MIL) lived with us, my husband and I shared the basement -- Mr. Hillside for his architectural studio, and me for my quilting studio. Poor Guy, he had to look at my mess all the time, but his side of the room wasn't much better.
I used the upstairs bridge for my "office," but also put a 10' quilting frame up there because it's the only place it would fit. It's a long story why I didn't do anything with the frame for over 5 years. My bad!
Now that QM is no longer with us, we have been plotting and planning how we can take over the master suite. In the meantime, I suggested that since DH is recently retired and eventually we will no longer occupy the upstairs bedroom, he could move HIS office to the bridge and I could have the entire basement! Don't you think that is a VERY logical (and fair) argument?
However, it's like rearranging dominoes. You have to move something out in order to move something in, a maddeningly slow process. We've also pulled all of the QM's things out of storage, trying to make decisions on what we will keep and what to part with. That, in itself, is hard.
The whole house is a pile of clutter -- stacks and boxes for a yard sale, things waiting for SIL to choose what she wants to keep, items in transit from upstairs to basement and vice versa.
We ARE making progress, though. The lift went to a pediatric neurological nurse, the hospital bed went to a 90+ woman aging at home, the push chair went to our church for emergencies, the potty chair and walker went to Goodwill, the stand-assist recliner went to Habitat Re-Store, the power wheelchair went back to a medical supply company for parts, and we have a buyer for the HC accessible van!
1-800-GOT-JUNK came to pick up the loveseat and console TV from the QM suite (plus some other junk from around the house); now the room is almost ready for repairs and redecorating. Happy to report we have finally found a general contractor who will answer our calls and who can do all the little things we need done to get this house ready to sell. Whew!
So, back to the studio. The Koala table has been smalled down to its basic size, ready to roll across the room.
The quilt frame, resized to 5' will go where the Koala table has been.
One oak book case has been placed on the left side of the fireplace.
All my extraneous bits and packages of batting have already been relocated so that they will be readily accessible to the quilt frame that will go next to it. The matching bookcase is on the other side of the fireplace.
Right now it's just loaded with stuff, but this bookcase will eventually hold works in progress. Hubby's old conference table has been moved in front of the windows.
There is room to work on both sides so that I can use it to trim quilts for binding or layer the sandwich for quilting. The Koala table will go where Mr. H's workstation is now.
We're hoping the new floor mat will arrive Monday so that he can relocate his desk to the bridge, along with his computer, printer, and plotter. Then I can finally settle back in and start sewing again.
This has been a very frustrating week, dealing with internet issues and trying to stay one step ahead of Mr. Hillside in our urban renewal project (more on that later).
I was raised in the school that you vacuum behind the furniture when you move it, and you wash the windows when you have access to them. But Mr. H moves things in the dark of night and "thoughtfully" puts heavy iron tables in front of dirty windows. Bless his heart.
Needless to say, I haven't had much stitching time this week. But, it's been interesting.
I started with a bag of paired solid triangles.
Frankly, I have no recollection of where/when/how I acquired this bag of triangles! But it floated to the top as I was moving things for the studio revisions. There were six different solids already paired with Kona White. Talk about mindless sewing.
... and positioned on my new design wall.
That's as scrappy as I could get this week. Linking up with Cynthia at Quilting is More Fun than Housework.
In between the frustration of no internet and the urban renewal going on in my sewing studio, I been doing some mindless sewing.
Somewhere along the line I inherited / picked up / stole a zip-bag full of half-square triangle pairs.
I've been trimming these every night while dinner cooks. Six different solids -- dark gray, dark green, peach, gold, and two shades of aqua -- all paired with what appears to be Kona Snow.
Trimmed to 2-1/2", they will finish at 2". There will be at least 250 of these little gems when I'm done. At 2" it will take a lot more to make a quilt of any size. I think I've found a pattern where I can use what I have and fill in with plain snow white.
Oh, I forgot to say it was a MOUSE that ate the soap! Maybe it talked back to its mother. That was the punishment for me when I was young -- mouth washed out with soap. Only happened once, believe me!!
I was going to show a picture of a Comcast/Xfinity technician/repairman when, wouldn't you know, we were fully functional at 8 a.m. when he called to say he was on his way. Since we had been functional throughout the night, we assumed everything was fixed and cancelled the call.
So why am I sitting in McDonald's right now, doing this post?
Just wanted to let my loyal readers know I'm OK. Just haven't had reliable internet connections the last few days. What little time I'm able to get online, I'm busy responding to email and checking other blogs.
Comcast is coming Wednesday. I hope to be back to normal operation soon thereafter.
Adoption is closed. Winner has been notified.
I have three orphan projects up for adoption, so please be sure to check my other related posts.
I made these blocks as a class demonstration.
4-Patch Posey is a kaleidoscope technique.
Blocks are cut from a stack of four identical fabric repeats.
There are 14 different blocks that will finish at 6".
Extra fabric is included for blocks or borders.
Quality Free Spirit Fabric by Westminster.
If you would like to adopt this UFO, leave a comment telling me what you plan to do with it.
PLEASE, include your email address in your comment so that I can contact you when you win!
I will ship to US only.
I know I'll never get around to using this panel so thought I'd pass it along.
Nice quality fabric, it measures 24" x 44".
"Sleigh Ride" by John Sloane for Wilmington Prints.
I thought these cute panels would make a fun soft book for a baby. The baby just turned 13!
They have been backed with stabilizer.
There are 8 total; they measure 5-3/4" x 7-1/4".
from the studio to the main floor.
I have no clue how it got in the house.
I included the leaf in the picture so you could see how little it is.
After I assembled the two orange Scrap Jar Stars for September's Rainbow Scrap Challenge, I realized I had pieces and parts in the box for some earlier month's colors. So yesterday I finished another blue and another green SJS.
I decided to throw all of the blocks on the wall to see if I'm even close to having a complete quilt.
Three more blocks will give me a 4x5 setting. That would be 48" x 60" without sashing or borders. I have pieces/parts to make another yellow star.
I want to make another mixed-colors-on-black star. Then October's RSC color would make 20! Just in time to assemble the quilt at Mountain Quilt Camp. Haven't decided if I'll add sashing between the blocks. I sorta like the white frame that forms at the intersection of the blocks set together. If any readers have made one of these quilts with sashing, I'd like to see a picture.
So I'll be making the yellow this Monday. And linking with Monday Making.
My sister-in-law evacuated from Savannah yesterday and headed to her mountain cabin in western North Carolina. She took meds, important documents, and this.
I made this for her in 2015. I'm honored she included it in her prized possessions!
I've long been a fan of orange, have even gone through several "orange phases."
So I assumed I would have plenty of orange scraps. NOT!
... and a couple of Scrap Jar Stars.
Granted, the SJSs need some assembly. The centers are sewn.
of the various shades in each month's color.
Thanks, Angela, for hosting the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
I hope you remain safe from Irma.


Sorry for adding this question here, but there is no place to add questions about windows 6.5 (on Getac PS336). I entered E-mail and then clicked on Setup E-mail. I entered my gmail address, and my account was automatically configured. But now I can't send nor download any messages because I get a notification "Messages cannot be downloaded to your mobile device. Make sure you are connected and that your e-mail account settings are correct. Then, try to download messages again." I'm 100% sure that I entered correct gmail address and password.
What should I do to configure my account?
Why is Equaliser not updating after Windows update on Lumia 535??
Why does Viber keep saying that there's "No connectivity"? Although I have both 3G and WiFi..

What technology are you really excited about?
I know there's a technology forum, but most of this stuff is still science, and we are learning more and more about it.
What scientific advancement, technology, process are you really excited about and you think holds great potential?
The Fool: Well as far as quantum science can't predict we can't make anything. Out of randomness. Because we don't know what will happen.
But look out for big advances in artificial intellegence, and even more advances in computer technology. We may even be able to have computers actually DO SCIENCE! at a ridculas rate. IF we can master a precise and computable scientific method. Our world can Change really reallly fast.
Everything I read about this just blows my mind. It's the closest thing to replicators we'll probably see in our lifetime.
The Fool: They are not printers in the classical/original sense of the term. in that we print on something. They are using that term to give it the impression of a WOW factor, its simply sending the 3D information, as in any computer program, and reforming it in the form of matter in the the machine.
Print is a derivative of "impression". which is derived from Greek as in "pressing on wax tablets" to write, in which is to "imprint" as in literally press on the tablet. They are not simply pressing on something.
Advances in medical science -- oh... man, awesome shiit is about to come out. Like, cybernetic limbs http://www.youtube.com... and much longer lifespans http://newyork.cbslocal.com... and manmade organisms and all this shiit. It's going to be crazy. I can't wait.
I've always wanted to live for a long time just to see how things change and witness it all. I mean, imagine living between like, 1890 and 1990?
Hooolllllyyyyy shiit, the things you've seen!
I mean... can you imagine?
That has fascinated me since I was a child. I was always a like, "I should try to live for a while, just to see it all."
And, right about here, things are about to get much iller. And, I'm going to just sit back at watch.
People are fascinating and ugly and beautiful; it's a great sight.
Your name is now The_Buzzkill_on_the_Hill.
They are using that term to give it the impression of a WOW factor, its simply sending the 3D information, as in any computer program, and reforming it in the form of matter in the the machine.
Yeah man, it's only sending 3D information and reforming it in the form of matter in the machine. There's nothing "WOW" about that, it's not even an actual printer.
The Fool: I know what was thinking that exaclty. "wow am I a buzz kill.!"
A human with a good attitude and work ethic.
Ren and I are the only people who have contributed to this thread. If you aren't interested in science, technology, or progress GTFO.
I always thought phasers were kind of retarded. Like, if I had a gun and you had a phaser, how much of an advantage would you really have? Any at all? And how are you supposed to power that sucker? We can't even keep a laptop going for more than a few hours and somehow we are going to power some weapon that unleashes massive amounts of energy into people? Even if we did find a power source this great it would likely be lethally radioactive or unstable. I find it hard to believe we will ever have powerful yet benignly functional hand-phasers in the Star Trek mold. I thought it was funny BTW in that Next Gen movie how he had to lure the borg onto the holodeck to kill them with tommyguns because the stupid phasers were useless.
Immortality, or, at least, very very long lifespans. (through bioengineering or nanobots or whatever).
Cool post! Everyone posted great technologies.
I totally dig this technology! It's mostly for prototyping things and preparing samples for injection molds etc; but it will eventually be a sort of "replicator" like in Star Trek. However, that type of "matter assembler" will not be around for a while. Bu in the mean time, we can certainly benefit from 3D printing!
It's great to see the human-machine interfacing that is possible today! It is so uplifting to see (no pun intended) the paralyzed able to walk or control things with their minds! There is sooooooooo much potential!
Oh yeah! It's gonna be hard to convict murderers if the "evidence" is vaporized into thin air, though!
I always thought phasers were kind of retarded. Like, if I had a gun and you had a phaser, how much of an advantage would you really have? Any at all?
1) For starters, see above advantage.
2) It's a lot harder to dodge a phaser...not that it's that easy to dodge a bullet BUT if the phaser had a laser pointer attached, if you get lazed then you are EFFED!
3) You can set the phaser to different settings from stun to disintegrate.
4) A phaser doesn't need to strike you in specialized targeted areas on your body to make it effective.
And how are you supposed to power that sucker? We can't even keep a laptop going for more than a few hours and somehow we are going to power some weapon that unleashes massive amounts of energy into people? Even if we did find a power source this great it would likely be lethally radioactive or unstable. I find it hard to believe we will ever have powerful yet benignly functional hand-phasers in the Star Trek mold.
That's the whole point: ie it would be nice to have the technology of a practical phaser. Strictly speaking, it's not impossible.
I thought it was funny BTW in that Next Gen movie how he had to lure the borg onto the holodeck to kill them with tommyguns because the stupid phasers were useless.
I agree, this is awesome! However, I think a lot of this will be replaced (or developed in parallel) with virtual reality a la The Matrix.
Yes!!!!! That way I can procrastinate with yet another aspect of my life: death!
I love the multiplier technologies; stuff that advances many other technologies & concepts.
Nano-technology is one of those things that's going to help with other technologies across the board! Miniaturization, material sciences, batteries & electronics & photonics, bio sciences; so many things that will be leaped forward by this technology.
Quantum Computing, just like classical computing, will also have a multiplier effect on other technologies: cyber security, simulation/virtualization, sheer computing power, AI, research, etc.
Bio Engineering and genetics will help us lead healthier, longer, more productive lives. We will be able to find cures for many diseases and perhaps for the first time, finally cure a viral disease!
they are just as much printers as the kind that lay down ink on a page. they basically do the same thing... lay down a thin layer of some plastic resin.. but then move vertically and lay down another layer on top of that... and another on top of that... etc... until you get a 3D structure.
personally i am really excited about the possibility of growing organs in a dish and then being able to implant them into a living person... it would solve so many problems. (cancer of the x? just grow a new x...). not sure how far off that is though. also, i read recently that the idea of using bacteriophages to treat bacterial infections is coming back in vogue... treating bacterial infections with viruses... it doesn't get much cooler than that.
The confluence of those and other technologies as they increase exponentially will be interesting to watch and understand. Wake up, it's time for science!
The more technology advances the less relevant you become. They will make a machine one day to replace you and what you do. Isn't the ultimate piece of technology to make a machine that can do everything you can do? It will be better because it wont call in sick, ask for raises, and have a crap attitude and make no mistakes. I have had my fill of technology.

Glad you asked. The prospect of automatic driving cars is exciting. Google has been pushing the technology, and Nevada has a procedure for licensing automated vehicles for operation on public highways. They are running around now.
The vehicles go to their destination without human assistance. This is important for people who can't drive, especially due to handicaps. It would greatly facilitate handicapped people living in rural areas. The present limitations on public transportation are the fixed routes and fixed stopping points.
It would allow people to do other things on long trips. You could sleep and wake up at your destination in a distant city. Commute time could be spent productively, typing in debates.
In cities, cars could be automatically interleaved at intersections so there is no need for stop lights. The car could be sent to park at some relatively distant location, and then summoned when needed.
Drunks and drug users could be carried home safely.
Since prototypes are now operating successfully, the technology may be sold to the public relatively soon. Maybe high value applications like trucks and buses will be first. It is all computers and sensors, so prices should become reasonable quickly.
I really think better MRI scanners and CAT scanners excite me the most. The better they get, the better we will be able to diagnose.
Solar panels and how that technology is causing values to plummet.
Since I am both, this would help me out a great deal.
The question is obviously "how often do errors occur?" It seems that the more technology progresses, the more errors tend to seep in due to complexity. For instance, a computer quirk would not cause you to lose your files, it would cause you to lose your life. And don't even get me started about hackers!


In the center is a small mooshroom island, surrounded by a good sized ocean. Nearby on the south sand islands there is a shipwreck half submerged and half buried in the shore.Directly south of the mooshroom island is an igloo. North of that island is a manor and a village. Depending on if you ticked the find balanced seed, the other types of structures will generate differently, as there is a lava waterfall that flows into a forest. At least two manors have a village, and on the far left edge of the map is a red desert with a chance of a desert temple.. This seed is great for those who need to finish most of their achievements, but there is no jungle biome or sea temple.


Patrick Connor reportedly called Kim a "little hot piece of a**."
California radio host Patrick Connor lost his job — one of them, anyway — after making sexual comments about 17-year-old Olympian Chloe Kim last week.
During an episode of Sirius XM's Barstool Sports show Dialed-In with Dallas Braden, Connor made a number of suggestive remarks about Kim, who recently took home the gold in women's snowboarding halfpipe.
"Her 18th birthday is April 23, and the countdown is on, baby," Connor said during Tuesday's broadcast. "That's what I like about them high school girls."
"She's fine as hell! If she was 18, you wouldn't be ashamed to say that she's a little hot piece of a**," he added. "And she is. She is adorable. I'm a huge Chloe Kim fan."
Though Connor made the comments during a Barstool Sports show, he was fired the next day by KNBR, a radio station in San Francisco where Connor hosted The Shower Hour with Patrick Connor. He later took to social media to issue a public apology, Glamour reports.
"Yesterday in a weird attempt to make people laugh I failed," he wrote on Twitter. "My comments about @chloekimsnow were more than inappropriate they were lame & gross. Im [sic] truly sorry Chloe. You've repped our country so brilliantly. I apologize to my colleagues & the listeners for being a total idiot."
Dialed-In host Braden also addressed the incident during an on-air conversation with Connor, CNN reports.
"It is nothing to make light of," Braden said at one point. "We understand the severity of it."
Connor apologized further for his inappropriate remarks, saying, "I just want to quickly address my behavior yesterday. I'm super embarrassed. If I were to just slice up the pie chart of my comments they were, one slice was dumb, another slice was super insensitive and disrespectful. Kinda needy. It was pretty needy, and that's not a good look. And I've taken a pretty good beating and I effin' deserve it. Don't feel sorry for me."


Louis Vuitton Store, 230 Walt Whitman Rd., Huntington Station on Tuesday, April 2, 2019, at approximately 3:25 p.m.
Suffolk County Police Second Squad detectives are investigating a larceny that occurred at a Huntington Station store today.
Two black men wearing hats, scarves, sunglasses, and gloves entered the Louis Vuitton store inside Saks Fifth Avenue at the Walt Whitman Mall, located at 230 Walt Whitman Rd., at approximately 3:25 p.m. The men took six Louis Vuitton handbags and accessories, valued at more than $15,000, and left the store without paying. They fled in an unknown vehicle.
The investigation is continuing. Detectives are asking anyone with information on this incident to call Second Squad detectives at 631-854-8252 or anonymously call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
