WELL, THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY, YOU KNOW: London doctors are first in the world to print a 3D heart model.
Dr Sonya Babu-Narayan, a honorary consultant cardiologist, said the technology was useful in invasive heart procedures and in and treating heart rhythm disturbances in patients born with congenital heart disease.
She said: “Firstly, surgeons and other clinical team members are able to better grasp how a patient’s heart is affected by their condition. This leads to better care and allows us to diagnose and repair conditions with less need for invasive diagnostic procedures.
“Secondly, a 3D model can be a huge help with the communication between the clinical team and the patient. A 3D visual representation of the heart is so much clearer than anything we could put in to words.”
How long before doctors are able to 3D print a self-contained artificial heart?

Shot: Bill Clinton* says Trump will return U.S. to ‘Mad Men’ era.
—The Washington Examiner today.
Chaser: Mad Men counts Barack Obama among its fans. Obama sent a fan letter to [producer/creator] Matthew Weiner following Season 3, telling him how much he enjoys the show. A stunned and flattered Weiner keeps the letter from Obama in a frame on the wall outside of his office.
—The Internet Movie Database’s trivia page on Mad Men.
* Bill can’t be talking about the brutal sexual politics of the TV series, right? He’s a um, rather flawed spokesman for that argument.
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY SPIN:
Republicans and Russian hackers have made Hillary Clinton the most transparent candidate in history https://t.co/F3Spbm8z2z

This isn’t as bad as the man convicted of killed his parents begging for leniency because he’s an orphan. It’s worse — because the story about the killer is apocryphal, but Ezra actually wrote this.
SHOT: 28 percent of Florida GOP early voters picked Clinton.
CHASER: Early Voting a Poor Predictor of Final Results.
It’s 2016; anything can happen.
At the beginning of the election cycle, Michelle was even supporting Hillary — she didn’t like anyone on the Republican side. Back in the ‘90s, she voted for Bill. She supports marriage equality. “I’m okay with abortion,” she said. “I’m just not okay with late-term abortion.” She likes that Trump isn’t super religious, or a super social conservative like Ted Cruz, because she’s not a particularly religious person herself. And over the last few months, it’s become clear that she needs to vote for Trump — because Hillary’s corrupt, and belongs in jail, and will be business as usual in Washington.
Democrats thought they’d own the women’s vote the way Obama owned the black vote, but it turns a lot of women don’t like Hillary.
SHE LIES ABOUT EVERYTHING: Hillary Clinton wrongly says she was in NYC on 9/11.

WHY ARE DEMOCRAT MONOPOLY INSTITUTIONS SUCH CESSPITS OF RACIST HATE SPEECH? “Roberto Orci, a producer for ‘Star Trek,’ says he has a special bond with one of the franchise’s most popular characters. Orci, a Mexican-born filmmaker, likens Mr. Spock to an illegal* alien in modern society, and would refer to the fictional character as ‘Mr. Spic’ when developing the ‘Star Trek’ movies and TV series. ‘I always thought of Mr. Spock as a Latino, he’s an alien, an immigrant,’ the Latino producer said at Variety’s #Inclusion Summit on Tuesday. ‘Just between us, and only I can say this, I personally used to call him Mr. Spic.’”
As with the country itself, the Hollywood institution that Gene Rodenberry built a half century ago is in the very best of hands.
* I don’t recall the backstory where Spock entered the Federation illegally, do you?
