[GummyIII]

We Support Our Troops!  For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday... Thank the Veterans who served in The United States Armed Forces.

It's a hodgepodge of new stuff tonight!  From nanotechnology to a new type of TV mouse to a treatment for cancer, there is something for everyone.  

---

Flexible CRT Displays A new method of patterning nanotubes could lead to flexible, flat-screen displays with many of the advantages of bulky CRTs. Methanol: The New Hydrogen By Chandra Shekhar Advances in methanol synthesis, coupled with improved fuel cell technology, could make it a viable alternative to gasoline How It Works: Quantum computing: qubits Photons, electrons and atoms, oh my! These particles are the raw materials for qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computers. The Evolution of IM By Kate Greene Traditional instant-messenging giants like AOL and MSN aren't driving innovation in the field -- the open-source crowd is. The Lithium-Ion Car By Kevin Bullis Altair Nanotechnologies plans to road test an advanced electric vehicle prototype. A One-Two Punch for Alzheimer's By Emily Singer An enzyme has been identified that can target both major markers of Alzheimer's, providing a new venue for drug development. Chips with Your Fiber By Kate Greene A new way to integrate electronics into fiber-optic cables promises faster and cheaper communication. Supramolecular Nanostamping A new six-step technique could make DNA analysis as routine as a blood test.

Cancer therapy to take next step An experimental treatment that couples directed radio waves with carbon nanoparticles has proved powerful enough to kill cancer cells. Researchers say the treatment has the potential to produce similar results in live patients.  Air mouse threatens to replace TV remotes   As MEMS-based products make their way into the consumer electronics market, one promising application is a device a reviewer dubbed the "remote control bagel." Study: Bone cells grow on carbon nanotubes University of California-Riverside scientists say they've determined bone cells can grow and proliferate on a scaffold of carbon nanotubes. Mighty molecular motor Scientists have made several types of single-molecule rotary motors. The challenge is getting them to do useful work...   Beyond Self-Tying Sutures As shape-memory polymers find commercial application, one researcher has activated them remotely using magnetism Light Bulbs Reinvented Higher-efficiency lighting would save lots of energy -- and organic light-emitting devices are one promising solution.

Keep Going For God!

Read:
Psalm 92

They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing. —Psalm 92:14

Bible In One Year: Judges 4-6; Luke 4:31-44

A familiar saying goes something like this: "Old age is a matter of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter!"

That must have been John Kelley's attitude. Kelley, who died in 2004 at the age of 96, ran in 58 Boston Marathons (that's 26.2 miles each time)—including his last one in 1992 when he was 84 years old.

Kelley's remarkable feat is a reminder to each of us that we must stay active as long as we can. Far too many folks hit middle age and put the body in neutral. And Christians too often put their service for Jesus Christ in the same inactive mode.

Each of us has a responsibility to God, as long as He gives us physical and mental strength, to work heartily "as to the Lord" (Colossians 3:23). We are never called to retire from life and coast home to heaven.

The psalmist said that the righteous "shall still bear fruit in old age" (Psalm 92:14). For those who are physically able, that means continuing in active service. For those who can no longer move about, that means being active in prayer and in quiet service.

Let's make sure old age doesn't stop us from bearing fruit. We need to keep going for God. —Dave Branon

Growing old but not retiring,
For the battle still is on;
Going on without relenting
Till the final victory's won. —Anon.

To stay youthful, stay useful.

You should be in bed dear!
I'll be praying for you for a quick recovery! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.
