And nothing is more synonymous with TRONIism than the electric motorcycle from the film 鈥?which you can now have a chance to own.

That includes the TRON bike, an exact, working replica of the one seen in the film. Its got a 96 volt direct-drive electric motor, actual suspension, and hydraulic brakes. The bike was only ever ridden around the storage at the Andrews collection, so its in as-new condition.

Its no secret that the US鈥攚hen compared to similarly well-off countries鈥攊s not that great at keeping its infants and new moms alive. But a new study published Tuesday in PLOS-Medicine o adidas samba adidas ffers a detailed state-by-state look of how short of the mark were falling: air max 1 Infants born in the US can be over twice as likely to die before their first birthday than in stable European countries. And the new work also seems to rebut a common theory for why these deaths are happening. Because more women in the US deliver their children prematurely than elsewhere, earlier studies have suggested this could largely explain the mortality gap. But when the researchers of this current study compared rates of infant mortality across the US from 2010 to 2012 to six European countries where rates have been historically low, thats not what they saw. Surprisingly, we found that the US actually performs comparably to other high-income countries when it comes to the survival of preterm infants, lead author Neha Bairoliya, a researcher at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies, told Gizmodo via email. The same is not true for infants born full-term, where children born in the US face more than twice the mortality risk of children in leading European countries.

Cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub exited the ISS and began their spacewalk at 1:49 p.m. ET. During the nearly eight hour spacewalk, the pair were inspecting a leak on a backup radiator on Russias Nauka laboratory module when residual coolant spewed out of the leak site, NASA wrote in a blog post.
