Here is a new defense against bacteria and other microbes which can be used on many different mediums. They use tiny molecular daggers which latch onto fibers and stab and destroy microbes. This could easily lead to killer clothes or bandages. You can read the details below.

"...When bacterial or fungal spores approach the fabric, their negatively charged fatty membranes are attracted to positive charges on the nitrogen-rich rings and to the fat-seeking blades. This forces the bug or spore onto the blade, which then penetrates the bacterial membrane.

Once inside, this charged end wreaks havoc and kills the spore by disrupting the delicate bonds inside. Each spore encounters a number of these molecular chains and eventually breaks up. "The bacteria effectively spill their guts," says Engel. ..."

Here is the patent for Mamo's Atmospheric Cold Megawatts at the United States Patent Office.
United States Patent: 6,696,766
Here is Anthony C Mamo's website on Atmospheric Cold Megawatts. You would not believe your eyes if you took the time to read this website. At least take the time to read through the advantages.
Atmospheric Cold Megawatts - Generating Energy from Differences in Atmospheric Pressure
This is great and horrible. An inventor in Arlington Heights, IL has recently received a patent for a new energy source which is completely clean. It is based on atmospheric pressure differences. An underground tube ran along a highway could produce as much electricity as 997 tower wind farm! That is major. Because of the governments heavy investments in fossil oil they are not paying any attention to this new discovery. As I find out more on this subject, Atmospheric Cold Megawatts, I will post them here. Below is an article in the Daily Herald, Chicago which wrote about this inventor.

This is a very usefull way to extract data from a DataTable. I never new it was possible until I found it on MSKB #308909
You can also copy DataRow objects from the results of a filtered DataView class or from the results of a Select method. For example: // Copy from the results of a Select method.
foreach (DataRow MyDataRow in DataTable1.Select("Region = 'WA'"))
{
DataTable2.ImportRow(MyDataRow);
}
Console.WriteLine(DataTable2.Rows.Count);
Console.ReadLine();

// Copy from the results of a DataView.
DataView1 = DataTable1.DefaultView;
DataView1.RowFilter = "Region = 'WA'";
for (int i = 0; i <= DataView1.Count - 1; ++i)
{
DataTable2.ImportRow(DataView1[I].Row);
}
Console.WriteLine(DataTable2.Rows.Count);
Console.ReadLine();

- Human Energy Theory -

I have been a father now for two years, and like most parents I wonder where my son gets all his energy from. We spent a few hours in the mall the other day and I swear he ran for 45 minutes straight. I was thinking about renaming him Forest.

This got me to thinking. While people watching, which I like to do an a consistent basis, I discovered this theory:

Each being is born with a certain energy capacity. This amount of energy is the maximum that you will have throughout your life.

When you are young, your body is small and very efficient. The maximum energy which you have lasts a long, long time. Plus I believe it is easier to restore.

As you grow older and bigger, your body may not be as efficient

As a teenager you have a long amount of energy. Your body is still growing and may be very, very efficient in how it burns the energy. The recharge rate is lessened though, I believe this is due to the constant burn to the rapid growth of your body. The huge amount of food consumed by teenagers is unrelated to the energy theory, as the food is to feed the needs of the rapidly growing body.
