Since the dawn of time, man has dreamed of soaring through the clouds, without invasive TSA security checks and having the guy next to him fall asleep on his shoulder, drooling. FlyNano debuted three new planes at last week’s Aero 2011 show in Friedrichshafen, Germany, which it hopes will deliver that very dream. Thanks to a composite carbon fiber bodies and a sub-44 pound drive trains, each weighs less than 154 pounds, hitting the FAA definition for an ultralight vehicle and forgoing the need for a pilot’s license. But, while the company is pitching these electric-powered propeller vehicles as flyable straight out of the box, the things are still subject to FAA regulations, so don’t expect to go joyriding near a major airport anytime soon — and then there’s the “theoretical operational distance” of 40 miles to contend with. Pricing ranges from €25,000 to €27,000 ($36,380 to $39,290) and the company claims that they’ll start shipping in three months, plenty of time to get your life insurance premiums paid up.

Type: eBooks Title: Earthing:The Most Important Health Discovery Ever? See all customer reviews Product Description: The solution for chronic inflammation, regarded as the cause of most common modern diseases, has been identified! And it is not blueberries. It is something right beneath our feet-the Earth itself! Throughout most of evolution humans walked barefoot and slept on the ground, largely oblivious that the surface of the Earth contains limitless healing energy. Science has discovered this energy as free-flowing electrons constantly replenished by solar radiation and lightning. Few people know it, but the ground provides a subtle electric signal that maintains health and governs the intricate mechanisms that make our bodies work-just like plugging a lamp into a power socket makes it light up. Modern lifestyle, including the widespread use of insulative rubber or plastic-soled shoes, has disconnected us from this energy and, of course, we no longer sleep on the ground as we did in times past. Earthing introduces the planet’s powerful, amazing, and overlooked natural healing energy and how people anywhere can readily connect to it. This eye-opening book describes how the physical disconnect with the Earth creates abnormal physiology and contributes to inflammation, pain, fatigue, stress, and poor sleep. By reconnecting to the Earth, symptoms are rapidly relieved and even eliminated and recovery from surgery, injury, and athletic overexertion is accelerated. See the details

Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey starts off his post on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) new climate-change rap saying, “I don’t want to oversell it, but it might be the greatest hip-hop track since Joe Biden and Jay-Z dueted on ‘High-Speed Rail.’” I’m sold. The point seems to be conserving energy and water and walking, or something. And it’s aimed at kids.

Julia Sweeney considered herself an enlightened, sex-is-no-big-deal kind of parent. But that was before an innocent question about tadpoles prompted The Conversation One evening, on a school night, when my daughter Mulan was nine, we were eating dinner together at our favourite Thai restaurant. It was autumn, over two years ago, and writing about it now I see that Mulan and I interacted much like two roommates. We ate out a lot. We had a handful of favourite places. When you’re a single mother who primarily takes her daughter to dinner at restaurants (my meagre defence: I was spending four days a week driving her to gymnastics after school – 45 minutes each way – so, who had time to cook?), it’s easy to think of yourselves as a couple. You eat, you talk, and sometimes you just stare at each other in a stupor of familiarity. At the restaurant, we know the owner and chef, who this night recommended the frogs’ legs in hot peppers. We politely declined. Mulan told me

You’ve got to say it while you can. Getting pelters in the papers tomorrow and Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and next Saturday: Peter Walton (Northamptonshire) The most in-form team in the league must do without Tim Cahill, who only makes the bench, and Mikel Arteta, who’s not involved at all: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Neville, Rodwell, Bilyaletdinov, Osman, Beckford. Subs: Mucha, Cahill, Gueye, Vellios, Anichebe, Mustafi, Duffy. Fabio, Darron Gibson and Jonny Evans are all called up for Manchester United as Fergie keeps one eye on Tuesday’s match with Schalke: Van der Sar, O’Shea, Ferdinand, Evans, Fabio Da Silva, Valencia, Gibson, Anderson, Nani, Rooney, Hernandez. Subs: Kuszczak, Evra, Brown, Owen, Giggs, Carrick, Rafael Da Silva. We’ll start finding out how things pan out at: 12.45pm. How much of this is relevant, though? None of it, that’s what, I’m just filling space. Possibly more to the point is this: United have won their last 12 home league games in a row, they didn’t create much at Newcastle in midweek, and Everton haven’t lost in the league since mid February. Actually, that doesn’t get us very far either. Like all good Godfearin’ folk, United have mixed feelings about Easter, unsure whether to celebrate or mourn. In 1992, they drew at Luton Town and lost at home to Nottingham Forest, handing the league to Leeds United. But twelve months later, Steve Bruce scored his 197th minute winner against Sheffield Wednesday on the same day their closest challengers Aston Villa drew at home to Coventry City, and never looked back. Manchester United like playing Everton at Old Trafford. Of the last 17 fixtures against the Toffees down Sir Matt Busby Way, they’ve won 14 and lost a big Anderson-shaped zero. Even the season before that run began brought good cheer. United lost 3-0 at the start of the 1992/93 campaign, their fans beginning to seriously wonder whether they’d ever win the league after the previous season’s late capitulation. And look what happened since. Premier League Manchester United Everton Scott Murray guardian.co.uk

BASSEM MROUE Associated Press= BEIRUT (AP) — Thousands of people gathered for funerals in Syria on Saturday, draping bodies in white cloth to prepare them for burial after security forces killed more than 75 people in the deadliest day of the uprising against authoritarian President Bashar Assad. About 5,000 people were gathering near the Osman Ibin Afan mosque in Izraa, a southern village that was the scene of some of the worst violence Friday, witnesses said. Fifteen corpses were to be buried after the noon prayers. Syrian security forces fired bullets and tear gas Friday at tens of thousands of protesters across the country, in a clear sign that regime was prepared to escalate an already…
