Located in Sunnyvale in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Cogswell College is an accredited 4-year institution of higher education with a curriculum that fuses art
and engineering. It has a distinguished 123-year history
in California and has always been associated with best
practice in the industries and communities it serves.
Cogswell College offers an intimate and stimulating academic environment that enables its students to earn a BA
degree in Digital Art and Animation or Entrepreneurship
and Innovation or a BS degree in Digital Arts Engineering, Digital Audio Technology, Computer Engineering or

A pacemaker that regulates the heart by wirelessly zapping it with pulses of ultrasound from outside the organ
is currently undergoing human trials in Europe. Conventional pacemakers stimulate the heart tissue via electrical leads that are fed into the heart through a vein. But
leads can fail, requiring additional surgery to remove and
replace them. The conventional approach also restricts
where the therapeutic shock can be delivered. The new
device uses focused acoustic waves that are picked up
by a small receiver implanted permanently inside the
heart, converting the energy into electricity. Unlike radio
waves, ultrasound can pass through tissue at high-enough
energy levels without causing any heating. “This represents a significant breakthrough, eliminating the lead
in the heart,” says Paul Skjefte, marketing strategist for
EBR Systems, the company that created the pacemaker.
The startup, based in Sunnyvale, California, was spun
out of research by founder Debra Echt, a former professor
of medicine and a cardiologist at Vanderbilt University.
The new device, called the wireless cardiac stimulation
system, works like an RFID tag in that the receiver has
no power supply of its own, and instead gets all its power
and signal wirelessly, but with ultrasound instead of radio
waves.
Plastic bag bans are making headlines in California
again this week, with two more cities passing ordinances

exempting restaurants and nonprofit organizations, the
San Jose Mercury News reports. To encourage customers
to bring their own reusable bags on their shopping trips,
stores will charge 10 cents per paper bag distributed – a
Page 5
a fee that will increase to 25 cents in 2014. The city expects the new regulations to reduce plastic bag use within
the jurisdiction by 95 percent, from 75.2 million bags a
year to 3.8 million, according to advocacy group Californians Against Waste.

the U.S., Elop said in an interview last month.

dedicated to delivering fast, reliable and inexpensive
connectivity while providing award-winning technical
support.
Sonic.net continues to offer broadband plans
without data caps and recently dropped its speed limits,
meaning all connections now run as fast as the pipes
allow for the same price. Perhaps more interestingly,
the company is gearing up to vastly accelerate those
speeds in certain areas, to levels far higher than what’s
generally available in the region today.
Sonic now offers a standard broadband service
throughout much of the Bay Area featuring download
speeds of up to 20 megabits per second, along with
aflatratephoneline,for$39.95permonth.Itshighlevel service includes two lines and speeds of up to 40
Mbps for $69.95.

Enjoy True Spirit every day. “Live life your way”,
is the gift I learned from Kanaya, my Siberian
Husky. His name meant “True Spirit”and is the
inspiration behind True Spirit Pet Photography.
Enjoying and documenting our walks throughout
his 12 years and striving to live by the most important thing Kanaya taught me; When you promise
something…mean it. Whether it is a truck ride, a
pig ear, or a walk. Walk the talk. And that goes for
everything in life. Trained in pet photography. I am
honored to document your pet, your walks, your
stories, your true spirit.
