FRC: Maine Turns LePage on Radical Counseling Ban

“Imagine being stuck in a cycle of depression or an unhealthy relationship and not being able to get help. Well, people in 13 states don’t have to imagine it.

WND: Invisibility breakthrough! New device makes stuff disappear

“Scientists in the U.S. and Canada say spectral cloaking technology has been demonstrated in lab tests resulting in a breakthrough that has all kinds of potential applications, reports the Optical Society. For starters, the approach is being hailed as a way of securing data transmitted over fiber optic lines, helping improve technologies for sensing, telecommunications and information processing, researchers say. In concept, they say, it could be extended to make 3D objects invisible from all directions – a significant step in the development of practical invisibility cloaking technologies.”
