Iron in Serena's soles

Within 4 millimeters, the US Open question has become: throughout the
tournament, was everyone who served and touched the line "too soon"
uniformly called for it?

Suggestion. Continue the use of the magnetic field in tennis to
automate the process. Require certain grade metal in the soles of
shoes and in the heads of racquets (or the strings). Combined with the
metal powder present in tennis ball rubber, a device can be created to
determine that the head of the racquet is in probable contact with the
ball before either shoe is in contact with the line. Over the line OK.
In contact with the line a no-no before the strike -- an alert sounds
giving the umpire the opportunity to make the call. The service motion
happens too fast to trust humans to make the evaluation. Machines are
better. The game improves as we take emotions out of it.

Brown doctors

Do our US doctors of the medical industrial complex stand for good? We
are about to find out.

If they do not use their influence to get us equitable care for
everyone, we should open the markets to allow Americans access to
international health plans. Versus no care, why not be treated
remotely over the web? Outsourcing will do the industry good. If US
care is so good they won't mind if we trust but verify -- utilize
competition to yield metrics. Let markets decide. Pray for choice. Ask
god for a doctor in India. With the price you are paying you can
afford it.

Calling all Harvard & Stanford grads. Share this direction with
Washington. For health care the referendum is on the doctors. Who did
we send to medical school? Who took all those government loans and
subsidies to get through to residency? How much have they made in
return? Where are they now that our country is in crisis? Why won't
they treat the people, all the people?

If Americans are denied a complete health care solution this year
doctors will lose the good will of the people. Being a US doctor will
be an embarrassment. There will be no hiding. Your MD will be viewed
with disdain in the rain on the golf course. Everywhere you go you are
going to start to hear feedback from the public. There will be no
where to cower from the common sense reasonable person verdict of the
untreated.

Shadow boob jobs recovery

Have a sense of humor. It appears as though the rebuild of America is
for political appearance purposes. Looks are king. Even if we have to
blow up salty balloons of water and put them in our chests for
courage, we're on the rebound damn it. Don't touch the recovery and
call it fake you dotty whiner.

On the back of the fantastic American health care system which we've
decided is best preserved by actually not taking care of people,
workers will be in jobs with facades in the continental US. Take care
of yourself. Inflate the balloons. There is room for you in the lobby
greeting clients.

I don't get it. If everyone in America wanted a lawyer my brethren
would be drooling all over the plan to do it. What the heck is wrong
with our doctors? We need their leadership. Did they go to med school
for the money truck?

Why keep it twice? - search engineering esperance your-oo

Leapfrog Google? The search industry is bent down. Imagine next week
the Yahoo to Redmond flights where heads hit the seat upright pillows
dreaming of this upheaval. You are about to receive a magic vessel
infusion. When you lift your head from this email you'll have the
power to start your own company with two 'o's in its name. What part
of Africa, the Ukraine, India, Europe, China or the US will fuel the
your-oo headquarters? You'll be lauded for your green solution. No
data center near Grand Coulee or wave energy farm was needed. Why keep
the data twice?

The energy to store the data in your search results was paid for once.
You store it on your server we can access now. Why pay to copy and
keep a reflection of what is on your server in other locations too?
And what about latency? The copies are never accurate on demand.

So. The answer? Build an open source or proprietary search project
that leaves a stub of your data indexed on your server. It is your
data not theirs. Each server advertises. Create a billing system that
pays server providers where this footprint is above a certain onerous
threshold. Your data center costs for your-oo reduce to staging areas
around the world that temporarily hold indices and common high volume
results. The Redmond-Mountain View business models are disrupted.
You're a genius. Google survives with unbridled aspirations reduced.
They own the translation layer to the data on your server. Redmond
consortium dies replaced by you. Valid revolution starts as impossible
fantasy.
