Cutting Umbilical Cord Early Eliminates Stem Cells 139

GeneralSoh writes "Delaying clamping the umbilical cord at birth may have far-reaching benefits for your baby, according to researchers at the University of South Florida's Center of Excellence for Aging and Brain Repair — and should be delayed for at least a few minutes longer after birth. This new recommendation published in the most recent Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (14:3) notes that delaying clamping the umbilical cord allows more umbilical cord blood and crucial stem cells to transfer from mama to baby."

I have been using encrypted Backblaze $5/mo backup for my home system for a few months now. I think in the end it will save me way more money on the bottom line then a dedicated system that will periodically need updated and maintained. It is uses 2048-bit RSA public/private key system that makes me feel warm and fuzzy. For the first time I feel pretty good about my backup of all my family photos and movies. http://www.backblaze.com/

Microsoft's Office Web Will Do iPhone, Linux, Mac 202

Posted by timothy on Thursday November 13, 2008 @05:15PM from the do-is-a-flexible-verb dept.

CWmike writes "Gregg Keizer reports Microsoft has clarified that its upcoming Office Web service will be available to users running Mac OS X and Linux, as well as from Apple's iPhone. The key to this cross platform-friendliness: Office Web will run in Firefox and Safari browsers, in addition to IE. Introduced last month, Office Web is a lightweight version of its Office suite that runs as an online service. I think it's time for Google to embrace OpenOffice.org to take on Microsoft head-on, as CW blogger Preston Gralla has argued for and described how to go about it."

Every June in Florida the local news is full of reports by experts that this year would be the worst hurricane season on record. After 7 years of hearing the same stuff I started to tune it out.
