Rubricks is a open source CMS being built on top of Ruby on Rails. It looks elegant, neat and fast. There are some features that need to be added, and i am not sure about the admin part as I just looked at the demo on
http://en.rubricks.org/
It has a wysywig editor ( which is a good start ), news, bbs, RSS reader and a search engine.
It looks much better than the Radiant CMS which is the one getting the publicity on the R on R sites.
The project is very new with the first version out this April. Thus it is keeping a good pace in development. Greater community involvement may make this the number one R on R CMS.

On-line publications in urology
There are many on-line magazines now and there are online versions of paper based magazines. However, it seems that the online publishing phenomenon is not as well established as the paper version.
The International Brazilian Journal of Urology is one of the journals in my field that has really taken the way forward. It is an excellent journal; it is an online journal and access is completely free. It is accessed frequently, quoted profusely and many in the field from far and wide send articles to it.
The pioneering journal in Urology, no doubt....

VUR
The treatment of VUR is now mostly conservative. However in Grade 3 sometimes and 4 and 5 most of the time, surgery is needed. To prevent surgery the use of bulking agents were used. But these were toxic, tended to migrate or disappear altogether.
DEFLUX is made of two types of sugar-based molecules (polysaccharides) called dextranomer and hyaluronic acid. Both substances are well-known from previous uses in medicine. Both materials are also biocompatible, which means that they do not cause significant reactions within the body. In fact, hyaluronic acid is produced and found naturally within the body.
Therefore if this has some long-standing support, stays in and prevents VUR that is, it could be a useful adjunct in the therapeutic armamentorium..
The cost is the other factor to be considered, of course.

G-Web hosting
Google is getting serious about this hosting business. Google web creator is ready. It looks great. Blogs, mail, calendars, wordprocessors and spreadsheets and now web site, all in one place.
Google has planned things well. To open a new account one has to give ones mobile phone number. Very clever, again. This makes so many connections to an individual from various areas of his communicating methods with the outside world.
To Google means to grow and grow and grow, over and into, everything.
Is this Ggood or is it Gbad?
So far so good.
Thank God I don't have any Top Secrets to protect!

Assistive Reproductive Technology.
An ethical time bomb. What weird things can happen to humanity is only imaginable. It will hit us when we realise it. What about the future of the resulting offspring?
Nothing in the history of the human race has ever shaken our very basis of birth, death, love, sex and family. Our spirituality, religosity and whatever else.
Wow!
When does life begin? at fertilization? zygote stage? embryo when the heart starts to beat? When is a mind established? When does the soul enter?
The study of life - human beginnings, what is it called? The study of death is Thanatology........
