Beads make everything better! Check out these radical wooden bead-covered extension cords, found on a French blog.
Their French nature means they won't work in US outlets, sadly, but I'm thinking DIY.

I was stoked after seeing a commercial for the Powermat, a wireless gadget charger that claims to charge any of your electronic toys without wires, cords, or trouble just by placing your device on the Powermat — finally a solution to my cord-management problems! A few days later I saw the Powermat at my local Best Buy and considered forking over the $100 listed on the price tag for convenience alone. But then reality (and an explanation from the sales rep) set in: $100 is not the bottom line on this super charger.

Taylor Lautner made an appearance Friday on the red carpet at Teen Vogue's annual Young Hollywood bash in LA. He's on the cover of the October issue, and Taylor was looking right at home as he mingled with a crowd that included new Eclipse star Noot Seear. On Saturday, Taylor was already at LAX on his way back to Canada, where his costars like Robert Pattinson spent the weekend with their usual cast dinners and filming.

Spinal tumors can occur inside the cord (intramedullary), within the meninges (membranes) covering the spinal cord (extramedullary - intradural), between the meninges and the bones of the spine (extradural), or they may extend from other locations.
Most spinal tumors are extradural.

Radiation Therapy Complications
- Radiation therapy in children with cancer increases the risk of new brain and spinal cord tumors, suggests a study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The risk appears to increase along with the radiation dosage. Children who receive radiotherapy before age 5 are especially at risk for second primary tumors.
- Survivors of childhood brain tumors who received cranial radiotherapy as part of their treatment are at risk for later having a stroke, indicates a study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Surgery
Kyphoplasty, a surgical technique used to treat spinal fractures, does not improve a person's back pain or quality of life, according to a review published in 2006 by a nonprofit health services research agency. Kyphoplasty should only be done if bed rest, medicines, and physical therapy do not relieve back pain.
Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to deliver gentle vibrations to an area of the body.
