THE FIRST RULE OF OBAMACARE CLUB IS DON’T TALK ABOUT OBAMACARE CLUB: ObamaCare Operator Fired After Taking Call From Sean Hannity. “On the top of Thursday’s broadcast of his radio show, Sean Hannity revealed Erling Davis, the Obamacare operator he called early in his Monday show, got fired. Hannity quizzed her on how well the law is being received by applicants and she revealed no one liked it. Hannity had Davis on his show today and revealed he will give her a year’s salary of $26,000 and help her find a new job.”

JENNY ERIKSON: Obama Aide Whose Funny Tweets Criticized Obama Should be Promoted Not Fired! Nonsense.

FASTER, PLEASE: Scientists propose quantum wells as high-power, easy-to-make energy harvesters. “By collecting heat energy from the environment and transforming it into electrical power, thermoelectric energy harvesters have the potential to provide energy for a variety of small electronic devices. Currently, the biggest challenge in developing thermoelectric energy harvesters is to make systems that are both powerful and efficient at the same time. One material that scientists have experimented with for making thermoelectric energy harvesters is quantum dots, nano-sized crystals with semiconducting properties. Due to their sharp, discrete energy levels, quantum dots are good energy filters, which is an important property for thermoelectric devices.”
