Japan discovers new
gas source: 300 meters below the seabed for methane hydrate, perhaps enough
for the nation’s natural gas needs for a century. The country had been a major
importer of liquefied natural gas and thermal coal from Australia for a while.
[Note: I have my doubts on whether such resource can be commercially harvester]…Source:

How air-traffic
control can use television signals to plot aircraft: A NOVEL radar will
soon be helping to keep an eye on aircraft flying over London. Conventional
radar uses a rotating antenna to sweep the sky, sending out radio pulses and
detecting those which are reflected back from aircraft. The experimental system
that will begin operation in June does not send out any signals of its own, but
instead relies on a network of receivers to pick up television programs…Source:

Letting go of food
completely: Been going on for years now for patients via injections and
feeding tubes; Abbott or Nestle’s medical foods are the ones we can purchase in
the market that are both palatable and biologically potent; this good stuff

The 21-page draft
application for Obamacare: For subsidized insurance coverage, in case you
are interested. It’s quite long and, frankly, most are either unaware or
skeptical. [Note: but it saves you money if you qualify, definitely worth the
hassle]…Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/02/22/poll-obamacares-biggest-beneficiaries-are-skeptical-of-obamacare/
