HHMI's grants and fellowships provide funding for pre-K–12 and undergraduate science education, graduate science education, and medical student research training. Past programs include:
Early Career Scientist Program
Established in 2009, HHMI's early career scientist program provided support for 50 of the nation's most promising researchers at a critical stage of their careers. Each Early Career Scientist received a six-year appointment to the Institute, full salary, benefits, and a research budget of $1.5 million. The selected scientists, who were at 33 institutions across the United States, were required to have led their own laboratories for two to six years.
HHMI remains committed to supporting and advancing early career scientists and continues to experiment with the most effective ways to do this. In 2015, the Institute partnered with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Simons Foundation to launch the Faculty Scholars program, which provides five-year awards to faculty at an early career stage. The Institute also plans to create additional programs to support early career scientists.
HHMI-NIH Research Scholars (Cloister) Program
The HHMI-NIH Research Scholars Program, also known as the Cloister Program, gave outstanding students at U.S. medical schools the opportunity to receive research training at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. NIH has continued with a lab and clinical program for research training for medical and dental students that builds on its existing Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP), and HHMI continues to collaborate with NIH to provide unique training elements to the program. Visit the NIH MRSP website for more information.
HHMI remains committed to offering medical, dental, and veterinary students the opportunity to consider careers in biomedical research. The HHMI Medical Research Fellows Program supports students engaged in year-long research training experiences at their home institutions or at laboratories around the country.
Physician-Scientist Early Career Program
The Physician-Scientist Early Career Program provided early career support to exceptional physician-scientists. This program helped launch the academic careers of 63 promising scientists, all alumni of the HHMI-NIH Research Scholars and HHMI Research Training Fellowships programs. Each awardee received up to $375,000 over a five year period, and many have used this support to help them compete successfully for NIH RO1 grants.
Precollege Outreach Initiative for Biomedical Research Institutions
Grants through this initiative supported pre-K to 12th-grade science education. Funding provided to medical schools, dental schools, veterinary schools, public health schools, hospitals, academic health centers, and independent research institutions enabled these organizations to work with school systems, museums, and other partners skilled in delivering science content to students.
Predoctoral Fellowships in Biological Sciences
The Predoctoral Fellowships in Biological Sciences promoted excellence in biomedical research by helping prospective researchers with exceptional promise obtain a high-quality graduate education. The program began in 1988 and provided five years of financial support for over 1,200 students pursuing a PhD. The alumni of this program have followed a variety of paths to their success: academia, industry, science writing and science policy, and other parts of the nonprofit sector. Several HHMI investigators and Janelia group leaders are former fellows of this program.
Postdoctoral Research Fellowships for Physicians
The Postdoctoral Research Fellowships for Physicians program was initiated in 1990 and has provided support for more than 400 physicians to pursue advanced research training and facilitate their transition into research careers. The three-year fellowships provided training, under the guidance of mentors, in research directed toward an understanding of basic biological processes or disease mechanisms. After completing the fellowship, most fellows proceeded to independent faculty or research appointments and were able to prepare highly competitive research proposals.

Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM)
Over the last 30 years, the number of women earning bachelors, masters, and doctoral degrees in math and science has increased significantly. This success has been largely due to the work of educational institutions, foundations, professional networks and research and advocacy organizations. Yet despite these efforts, a huge gap still exists between the numbers of women and men pursuing advanced studies and careers in science – especially in physics, chemistry, engineering, computer science and technology. Schools, colleges, the technology sector and businesses, as well as other sectors, need to intensify efforts to recruit and retain talented women in STEM fields. Advancement for women not only diversifies the workforce, but also provides gender balance in setting research goals, developing new product lines and enhancing innovative and strategic decision-making.

Wednesday August 21, 2013
NEW YORK (AP) -- Chris Johnson hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning and Atlanta beat the New York Mets 4-1 on Wednesday after Braves outfielder Jason Heyward was hit in the right jaw by a pitch.
Heyward went down in a heap during a scary scene at Citi Field in the sixth. He was examined by Mets doctors and taken to a hospital for X-rays.
Atlanta, with the best record in baseball and a huge lead in the NL East, got an RBI single from Freddie Freeman and another impressive start by rookie Alex Wood in splitting the two-game series for its 20th victory in 24 games. The Braves also benefited from a disputed call in the 10th.
Johnson then launched a drive to left field on Greg Burke's first big league pitch since he was recalled from the minors on Sunday.

Marketplace: The Trouble with Truffles
Market prices vary depending on many factors. When goods and services become relatively more scarce, market prices increase. This increase affects buyers and sellers. Buyers must decide if the good or service is worth the increased price, and sellers must decide if they can make a profit by selling the good or service at an increased price. In this lesson you will learn how consumer demand for the delicacy known as a truffle drives entrepreneurs to invest resources in producing them. You will also learn of the darker side of the truffle market. Unmet demand has lead to an influx of inferior truffles from Chinese producers attempted at being fraudlently passed off has the real thing.
In this lesson, you will watch a 60 minutes report entitled 'The Trouble With Truffles.' While watching, you will use an interactive note-taker to record supporting details about three of the story's main ideas. Then, using your notes, you will answer questions related to the story.
Watch the 60 Minutes Report.
While you are listening, use the note-taker to find and record supporting details for three main ideas. The three main ideas you will focus on today are these:
1. Scarcity of Truffles
2. Price of Truffles
3. Buyers and Sellers of Truffles
Additionally, as you watch the segment, record any words which you don't know or which you think are important economic terms.
Then watch the report again to gather additional supporting details and possible definitions of the vocabulary words, using context clues; record these in your note-taker.
Finally, you will be asked a series of questions related to the story.
Why are truffles so valuable _______.
a) Consumer preferences
b) Abundance
c) Shortage
d) Chinese Substitutes
2) What contributes to the scarcity of truffles?
a) Truffles can't be produced in labortories
b) Lack of a reliable technique for cultivation
c) Exactly where and why truffles grow is impossible to predict
d) All of the above
3) What is the incentive to a producer to use the Chinese truffles but not explicitly label their product as such?
a) Increase their sales in China
b) Decrease their sales in China
c) Sell Truffles at a lower price than they otherwise would
d) Sell Truffles at a higher price than they otherwise would
Question 4: What is the price per pound of black truffles?
Question 5: If truffles could be mass-produced in a laboratory, what do you think would happen to their price?
Question 6: Why do some restaurant owners continue to use truffles despite the increased cost and risk? What does the increased cost and risk do to their profits?
Activity 2:
You have listened to a news story discussing scarcity and its effects on buyers and sellers. One of the restaurant owners is faced with a decision regarding whether or not they will continue to sell truffles.
Discuss the following scenarion with a partner. Think about each question and record your ideas on paper.
You are a restaurant owner and must decide how to deal with the increase costs (related to securing and insuring) truffles. Consider the following:
Will you continue to sell truffles at the current price, or raise your prices?
What are the benefits of keeping your prices the same for the season even though you are spending more money to secure your supply of truffles? How would keeping prices the same affect your profit?
What might happen if you raise your prices to compensate for the higher cost of selling truffles? Could this affect your profit?
What are the possible effects of removing truffles completely from your menu?
By the conclusion of this lesson, you should be able to identify at least three main effects that scarcity has on buyers and sellers, and you should understand that scarcity directly affects profit in the market.
1. Hand in your note-taker. Your answers should reflect an understanding of scarcity and its effects.
2. Discuss Activity 2 with your classmates and hand in your recorded ideas. Focus your discussion on the effects the increased cost of selling truffles. Be sure to discuss the potential effects that the high demand and low supply would have on your prices and profits.
Learn more about scarcity and market prices by completing Economics in the Headlines and Save the Moonflowers.

TWERKIN' at HOME
I love when I get to work from home. I can take small breaks to play with Beatrice and even fudge around with furniture and tchotchkes like this white desk I just found. I was on my way to my mom's and out of the corner of my eye, I saw it sitting on the side of a road, so I busted a U, popped open the trunk and threw it in. It's not the greatest looking piece, a little on the janky side, but it gets the job done. It's temporarily jibing with the books and the tv in the our media room, also our dining area. We're those kind of squirrels who eat with the tv on. I gotta get my doses of Modern Family, it's my happy pill! And I can't wait for Mad Men to return.
Alright, have a fantastic weekend and don't work too hard, my vintage vultures.
+ My sweet coasters are by Satsuki Shibuya.
+ Breakfast at Little Dom's
+ PCC Flea Market
+ Want this for a camera bag.
+ Nice design blog, Jake

I have been wondering about this for a while now. My current bitrate is around 8 Mb/s, My highest bitrate is 35MB/s. I clearly have no idea if this is average? Is my bitrate too low? Streaming works fine most of the time, lagging a bit sometimes, video freezes for a second and then continues just fine. I'm just wondering if my bitrate is normal? Is there any way to get a higher bitrate without having to upgrade my PC's hardware?

nothing fancy.

About the Book
"Anne Mallory gives classic romance a fresh and delightful spin with her clever plots and winning imagination."
—Teresa Medeiros, New York Times bestselling author<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Explore seduction, deception, and searing passion in USA Today bestselling author Anne Mallory's Seven Secrets of Seduction. A RITA Award finalist (for Three Nights of Sin and For the Earl's Pleasure ), Anne once again delivers a passionate, heart-wrenching Regency Era romance, intricately well-plotted and filled with memorable characters, including a particularly fearless heroine. Fans of Julia Quinn and Elizabeth Boyle will delight over Anne Mallory's scandalous Secrets.
Scandalous and provocative, The Seven Secrets of Seduction is an intoxicating insight into the mind of men and the desires of women—and the book has all the ton talking.
Secret #1: Every good seduction begins with a baited hook . . .
Well-educated, but not part of society, Miranda Chase is just as captivated by the erotic pages as everyone else in London. Intrigued by the layers she sees beneath the book's surface, she writes an editorial about it, never realizing that her passionate words will draw an actual viscount to her uncle's bookshop.
Maximilian, Viscount Downing, has very particular ideas about passion and sees truth only in desire. He freely flaunts his sensual power and seeks nothing more than another conquest—the one that could justify his entire debauched existence. But Miranda's blend of innocence, trust, and love cause a strange thing to happen on the way to this seduction. Something that just might threaten the very fabric of his jaded heart . . .

Since joining the News 12 team, Meredith has demonstrated a true interest and involvement in our community. So many viewers have called or written to let us know how impressed they are by Meredith's enthusiasm and sincerity. She's a great addition to our evening anchor team."
Over the next two months Meredith will transition from News 12 This Morning, the Augusta area's fastest growing morning newscast. "More and more viewers tell us they've made the switch to News 12 This Morning to watch Meredith and Meteorologist Tim Strong," said John Ray, President & General Manager of News12. "The last television ratings show our morning news up in viewers every half hour from 5am – 7am while our competitors have lost viewers. As important as it has been for us to find the right person for our evening anchor team, we are just as committed to finding the right person to succeed Meredith in the mornings."
Meredith will continue to split her time as anchor of News12 This Morning and News 12 early evening newscasts until News 12 names her successor for News12 This Morning.

The Morning Download: How Macy's Got Its Groove On
The Morning Download comes from the editors of CIO Journal and cues up the most important news in business technology every weekday morning. Send us your tips, compliments and complaints. You can get The Morning Download emailed to you each weekday morning by clicking here.
Good morning. Innovation isn't invention, it's incremental improvement, and that can lead to huge dividendsMacy's certainly didn't invent the idea of having stores double as distribution centers for online sales. But while most multichannel retailers simply use inventory from stores closest to the customer, minimizing delivery costs, Macy's took things a step further this year and added store inventory levels to the equation, allowing the company to avoid depleting stocks in one store while having to put the same item on sale at another location because it hadn't sold enough of it. The specific weighting of distance and inventory is their secret sauce, but the results are there for all to see. During a holiday season that had most retailers shaking their heads, Macy's turned in a robust 52% gain in online sales and a 4% pop in overall sales compared to December 2011. "The combination of lowering shipping costs and preventing a future markdown helps to improve margins," Macy's spokesman Jim Sluzewski told CIO Journal.
Yes, we're afraid of newfangled stuff. We figured IT leaders would recoil at the implications of our story about VCs steering their portfolio companies away from selling to CIOs, who were portrayed as risk-averse and too slow-moving. But CIOs we spoke with agreed that, yup, they'd rather stick with the devil they know. For instance, Land O'Lakes Inc. CIO Barry Libenson says he won't take random calls from startups because of the risks associated with unproven technologies. "I don't get rewarded for taking a huge risk and having it pay off, but I get heavily penalized if we take a risk and screw something up," Mr. Libenson tells CIO Journal. And Greg Fell, CIO of global manufacturing firmTerex, says embracing new technologies is too risky at a time when CIOs are responsible for complying with federal data protection standards, and provide audit committees with risk assessments. But all isn't lost — Mr. Libenson says he will take calls from veteran venture capitalists he trusts to have vetted their young charges, and tests technology from companies he doesn't know based on recommendations from peers.
Old dog, new tricks. Don't count Caterpillar., founded in 1925, and Etratech Inc., an electrical components manufacturer, among the faint of heart. They're embracing social networking despite some concerns about reputational risk, and in the case of Caterpillar, are even porting data gleaned from social media to the back end tools used to manage sales and inventory. That turns Facebook Inc. into more than just a listening post, and illustrates why marketing chiefs should work hand-in-glove with technology executives, rather than lone-wolfing their forays into social media. William Burrows, business development manager at Etratech, says the company's use of YouTube videos to showcase its manufacturing plant has shortened sales cycles considerably. "It's usually a deal-closer," he told CIO Journal.
Focus on data scientists to unlock Big Data's promise. Guest Columnist Irving Wladawsky-Berger says experts are questioning whether it is big data per se that we should be excited about, or the emerging data science disciplines, which aim to leverage big data to discover new insights, enhance decision making, improve the effectiveness of people-oriented processes and optimize the overall management of social organizations like cities, companies and economies. He says that the term Big Data implies an emphasis on data, while the term data scientist puts the emphasis on science. "Data scientists should have a hybrid set of skills: the IT skills that are necessary to deal with and analyze vast amounts of data; and the subject matter skills needed to know which valuable business insights can be extracted from the data, and how to best frame the questions and build the right model that will reveal these insights," he writes.
Or think about data scientists as fantasy baseball team owners. If your employees play fantasy sports, they're ready for Big Data, argues guest columnist Jeffrey M. Kaplan. "In the same way today's mobile technologies have turned yesterday's geeks into mainstream technologists, fantasy sports has spawned a new generation of analytics-hungry workers who no longer view statistics as the sole domain of nerds and mathematicians," he writes. The confluence of social networking, cloud, and fantasy sports has created the hydra-headed persona needed to handle Big Data analysis. "Today's corporate employees – trained on the virtual fantasy sports fields of Yahoo , ESPN and elsewhere – are further up the statistical analysis learning curve than many of the BI specialists and business analysts of the past. And these 'digital natives' are happy to capitalize on the latest cloud-based BI apps to perform their day-to-day jobs."
Electronics develop a sixth sense. Tech companies are striving to help gadgets more effectively exchange information and track users' movements, gestures, voices and anticipate their intentions. A hot buzz phrase at this year's Consumer Electronics Show is "context awareness"—enabling products like smartphones or set-top boxes to pick up clues to users' desires and respond without the need for commands, writes the Journal's Don ClarkQualcomm describes the smarter devices as offering a "digital sixth sense." AMD's senior vice president and chief technology officer, Mark Papermaster, calls the trend "surround" computing, whileIntel/strong>. describes techniques like interpreting facial gestures with PCs as "perceptual computing."
TV makers search for the next sensation. Almost every major electronic device you own is a black rectangle that is brought to life by software and content. So how can hardware companies make their products stand out in a sea of black rectangles? "The hardware is no longer what's driving the future," James L. McQuivey, an analyst for Forrester Research, tells the NYT's Brian X. Chen. More exciting things are happening in software, Mr. McQuivey says. Dozens of tablets are on the market, but Apple and Amazon lead the pack because of the impressive apps and digital content available for their devicesSamsung Electronics SonyLG Electronics and Panasonic/strong>. are trying to grab attention by supersizing their television screens and quadrupling the level of detail in their images. And manufacturers continue to push the idea of "smart" sets by adding apps and other interactive elements.
Microsoft finds living room draws a crowd. Microsoft Corp. transformed its Xbox from a videogame machine into a multipurpose entertainment hub. Now, the 11-year-old hardware line is facing its stiffest competition yet, writes the WSJ's Shira Ovide. The outcome of the battle might come down to how Microsoft updates the Xbox, which some industry watchers say could happen by the end of 2013. Executives have considered whether the next Xbox should come in two versions, a powerful but more expensive console primarily for gaming, and a stripped-down, less-expensive version intended mainly for watching video and performing online tasks.Nvidia plans to sell its own gaming device. Nvidia Corp. plans to change its strategy by selling a gaming gadget of its own directly to consumers, the WSJ's Don Clark reports. The company disclosed plans for an unusual portable device that can run its own gaming software and wirelessly stream games running on powerful home computers. It can also wirelessly send the game images to be viewed on high-definition TVs in addition to its own small screen. Nvidia didn't disclose the price of the device or say when it would be available, but the Sunday night announcement at CES struck some observers as one of the show's first real surprises.
Life and death online: Who controls a digital legacy? Although people are spending and documenting more of their life online, society has not quite figured out what to do with the megabytes of personal information once someone dies. The WSJ's Geoffrey Fowler recounts the struggle of one family to claim the online photos and writings posted by their daughter on online properties run by Facebook, Tumblr, and Yahoo Inc. before she died of cancer. In 1986, Congress passed a law forbidding consumer electronic-communications companies from disclosing content without owner consent or a government order. Although that law predates the rise of the commercial Internet, courts and companies have largely interpreted it to mean that the families can't force companies to let them access the deceased's data or their accounts. There are movements to change the law, but tech companies fear that allowing the living access creates other privacy issues.
Behind Google antitrust escape. People familiar with the FTC's antitrust probe of Google Inc. say that while FTC staff felt that the search giant engaged in questionable behavior, they could not come up with a theory showing how consumers were harmed, the WSJ reports. While FTC staffers mulled, Google stepped up its presence in Washington, D.C., spending more than $14 million in 2012.
Google deal with FTC could turn heat off patent disputes. While the FTC stopped short off slapping Google with antitrust penalties, it did manage to get Google to agree to other restrictions that could have broader implications on the technology industry, reports Reuters's Andrew Longstreth. As part of a deal, Google agreed to stop seeking injunctive relief against competitors in certain payment disputes. "Unlike a court decision, the FTC's agreement with Google is not binding on other companies," says Longstreth, "But it could give leverage to defendants in disputes with essential patent holders that could be used in court."
Google's Schmidt Lands in North Korea. Google's Eric Schmidt landed in North Korea, which his delegation said he's visiting—over objections from Washington—because he wants a firsthand look at the economy and social media there. The Associated Press said that the mission, undertaken with former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, was a humanitarian mission. "We'll meet with North Korean political leaders. We'll meet with North Korean economic leaders, military. We'll visit some universities. We don't control the visit. They will let us know what the schedule is when we get there," Mr. Richardson said.
Windows 8 fails to spur holiday notebook sales. Windows notebooks didn't grace many stockings over the holidays says, the NPD Group. Windows notebook holiday unit sales fell 11%. Apple didn't fare much better, with MacBook sales declining 6%.
Hulu CEO to depart. Hulu LLC CEO Jason Kilar said Friday he will leave the streaming video service in the first quarter, reports the WSJ's Christopher S. Stewart. Hulu is owned by several entertainment companies, including Walt Disney and WSJ parentNews Corp. and Mr. Kilar's departure comes amid intense debate between some partner's about Hulu's future strategy. Hulu, which streams TV shows and movies, competes against Netflix and Amazon.com's Prime Instant Video service. The WSJ reported last month that he had asked the site's owners to invest about $200 million to fund more programming development—roughly double what the partners contributed to the company the year before.
Phablets are so hot right now. Looks like those "giant" smartphones with 5-inch screens first made famous with the Samsung Galaxy Note are gaining hold. Reuters's Jeremy Wagstaff and Lee Chyen Yee report that ZTE Corp. and Huawei Technologies Co. both plan to launch their own supersized phones, also known as "phablets" for their tablet-like dimensions.
IBM services chief to retire. IBM Corp. said Michael E. Daniels, head of its services division, will retire in March, reports the WSJ's Spencer Ante. IBM didn't appoint a new singular head to lead its services division. Instead, the company said, responsibility for running the group would fall to its two other top executives, Bridget van Kralingen and Erich Clementi.
Congress may consider mobile tracking bill. Sen. Al Franken (D., Minn.) is pushing a bill requiring that makers of apps that track user locations get user consent and notify users how their data is being shared, reports the NYT's Natasha Singer. The bill dovetails with beliefs by some advocacy groups that location tracking is an unacceptable commercial intrusion. Needless to say, many marketers are not happy, saying that they need to have access to user location so they can direct relevant mobile ads.
Flextronics CEO sees hope for U.S. manufacturing. The CEO for Flextronics International, a Singapore-based company that provides logistics and manufacturing services for companies, says its getting "easier to justify" production in the U.S., reports the WSJ's James Hagerty. CEO Mike McNamara cited a declining difference in labor costs between the U.S. and Asia as well as aggressive outreach programs by local officials as reasons to believe that even smartphone production may return to the U.S. But McNamara noted that the process will remain "slow and evolving" given relatively high U.S. taxes, health-care expenses and other regulations.
Opinions harden ahead of budget battle. The coming debt-ceiling standoff is already taking shape. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday that Republicans won't accept further tax increases in negotiations. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the Democrats' No. 2 leader in the Senate, was on another program calling for more revenue by scaling back tax breaks. The latest round of comments leaves "unclear whether and how lawmakers would proceed with the push toward a comprehensive overhaul of the tax code," the WSJ says.
Junk bond boom could fade. Junk bonds have started off 2013 much like they finished 2012—on fire. But the surge in prices doesn't leave much room for more gains, write the WSJ's Matt Wirz and Patrick McGee. With borrowing rates at record lows, companies are raising new debt to call outstanding bonds. High-yield issuers bought back some $101 billion of bonds in 2012 — a 16-year high and a 38% increase over 2011. "It is the reason there's very limited capacity for bond prices to push significantly higher," said Oleg Melentyev, credit strategist at Bank of America.
How some companies push the limits of a tax break. The NYT's David Kocieniewski looks at how the practice of exchanging one asset for another without incurring taxes has spread to big companies — far beyond the family farmers the tax break was intended to help. It's hard to gauge the true cost of the tax break for like-kind exchanges, like those used by CendantGeneral Electric and Wells Fargo. The government estimates that it diverts less than $3 billion a year from the Treasury, but industry statistics suggest the number could be higher. The tax break also exposes a huge vulnerability of the tax system: It depends on voluntary compliance. The IRS staff "is so outnumbered by tax lawyers and accounting departments at major corporations that there is often little to prevent taxpayers from taking a freewheeling approach to interpreting and administering the rules," Mr. Kocieniewski writes.
Banks near foreclosure settlement. Banks were closing in on a $10 billion foreclosure-abuse settlement with regulators that could be announced as soon as today, the WSJ reports. Hopes for a deal got a boost after the Fed backed down on a demand for more compensation for consumers and other changes to the pact. Under the settlement, reviews of some individual borrower files will end and the banks are expected to pay a total of $3.75 billion in cash and the balance in other forms of borrower relief.

Screen Calipers
A set of calipers that floats above any other application so you can measure anything on your screen. The Screen Calipers have a unique advantage over other on screen rulers due to their unique shape. Pixel-perfect accuracy is ensured every time simply by aligning the Screen Caliper's ruler points around an object.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: measurement , calipers , screen , measurement , pixel
5 Opinions
Oh, I just saw this app on another screen-ruler entry, and it looks good:
I particularly like the grouping capability. VERY useful for some applications.
Jeezaloo... $30 for calipers? Don't they know that the Art Director's Toolkit that COMES with OSX has a measuring device in it?
Oh, you have to pay to be able to rotate it. Wow. Just stretch the ADT ruler edges. It measures the diagonal distance, AND tells you the angle. I officially can't see a use for this program. Ever.
Try it. Pop open the ruler, change it to measure pixels, line up the edges, and viola. Horizontal and vertical alighment in a snap, with a cleaner interface, and for free. True, there's no compass... but hell, I could probably code something like this in approximately zero time flat. The skinnable interface would be trickier, but that shouldn't be the selling point of an app anyway.
After poking around on the site a bit, I have to admit they do have some good tools... but the prices are flat out rediculous. All 3 combined might be worth the money. They'd probably sell more if they sold all 3 at $20 (then people who needed to measure things actually WOULD buy it, instead of just the (evidently) stupid ones).
Don't know how many of you know newgrounds.com. Anyway, they have the possibility to "Blam!" a submission. If there are enough Blam's, the submission gets dropped.
In the light of this, I think iusethis should have an counterpart to the <3 - Button.
The authors apparently don't believe the price is a joke, but it is a particularly shocking example of the pecuniary obsession and absurd greed of so many OS X developers that in my opinion detracts greatly from the enjoyability of the platform. Note that the $30 is only for the calipersâ"the calipers, a protractor, and a compass cost $74! I hope I am missing some fine print somewhere that acknowledges that this is a joke and they are actually donating the proceeds to the FSF or some similar organisation.
I'm afraid I wouldn't be terribly surprised if there is someone on the Internet who is trying to sell a Hello World! application for OS X.
That price tag is a joke, right?

Hi all,
My PS3 recently died, so with it, died my only way of watching my BluRay discs. However, I also used my PS3 to play my 720p and HD content of rips I made of my movies with a buddy's BluRay drive on his computer.
Here is my dilemma: I need two things, but am trying to cut down on costs. I don't know how I'm going to set my next system up, but would like some advice. Here is what I was thinking, but haven't been able to find a solution as of yet.
1) I want to continue either streaming or copying my HD content to a home theater player like the WD Live to my 40inch LCD TV using HDMI (1080p)
2) I have several (hundreds) BluRay movies that I want to watch on my TV, obviously, but would need something that could play the discs (like a bluray player) locally, i.e plugged in HDMI to my TV
So, basically, I'm looking for something like the Popcorn Hour or the WDLive that also supports being able to read BluRay discs, OR, buy a BluRay drive for my PC that contains all my HD content and stream it all, including the BD that are inserted into the computer. My computer is downstairs, which is a hassle, but am willing to do. Can PS3MediaServer stream the content from a BluRay drive on a computer? I think I recall being able to stream a DVD, am I correct in my assumption? I've never had a real use for it.
So, to recap:
- need a home theater that plays HD files like MKV as well as read BluRay discs, so one with a BluRay drive attached to it. Not sure if this is even possible
- as it was, I was streaming ALL my HD content from my Windows 7 box over my network using PS3MediaServer and playing them through my PS3, now dead
- as it was, I played my BD movies and shows from my PS3, which is now dead
- wondering if I can stream the content from a BD disc off the PC downstairs, to a unit such as the WD Live or other home theater variant
I'd like to try and avoid buying a new PS3 if possible, I hardly play console games (more of a PC gamer), and we already own a Wii and xbox360, which as you know for the 360, does not support MKV and even when I convert them to MP4, cannot support HD + digital audio, so no DD or DTS. I'm an audio whore, so I need my 5.1 minimum.
Thanks for any advice!

A man sentenced to a mandatory life prison term on a crack cocaine charge after the alleged ringleader of the conspiracy received 45 years has a new sentencing hearing.
An appeals court overturned Marcus Royston's sentence because it came after a change in the law that increased the quantities of crack cocaine needed to trigger statutory minimum sentences.
Royston and Ferris Lee were among eight people accused of distributing the drug in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. A jury convicted Lee on 13 counts, including engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise. Royston was found guilty on two charges.
Lee received 45 years because a quirk in federal sentencing laws required prosecutors to choose between competing charges.
Royston's hearing is Wednesday, when his attorneys plan to recommend a 20-year sentence.

Drink Milk; It's Healthy
Published: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 12:03 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 12:03 a.m.
A recent letter from Lyle Lovitt sought to discourage you from drinking milk and enjoying other dairy foods, stating they were not healthy ["Cow's Milk Is Meant for Bovine Babies; Let's Use A Healthier Alternative," Jan. 16]. But nothing could be further from the truth, as proven by scientific research that is supported by nutrition experts and government health officials.
Milk, cheese and yogurt are major contributors of nine essential nutrients in our diets. In addition, milk is the No. 1 food source of three of the four nutrients the USDA identified as lacking in the U.S. diet — calcium, vitamin D and potassium.
My husband and I are longtime dairy farmers in Polk County, and dairy always had a place at our table while raising our family. And practicing as a dental hygienist, I also know that dairy plays a beneficial role in dental health by helping to maintain strong teeth.
In addition to promoting bone and dental health, consumption of dairy products may reduce the risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, according to the USDA.
Consumers who are sensitive to milk products because of lactose intolerance don't have to give up dairy. There are simple strategies to make dairy easier to digest — such as drinking lactose-reduced or lactose-free milk, eating yogurt and consuming hard cheeses such as cheddar or Swiss that are naturally low in lactose.
By avoiding milk and other dairy foods, consumers may be depriving themselves of milk's nutrients and thereby increasing their risk of chronic diseases.
The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans encourages consumers to increase their intake of healthy foods, including fat-free and low-fat milk and milk products. The USDA's MyPlate illustrates the five food groups — including dairy — that are the building blocks for a healthy diet.
For those of you watching your grocery budget while still wanting to eat healthy, milk is a smart decision.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|The case for the Defendan... >
|Irving's response >>
5.170After the successful Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939, part of the newly acquired territory was absorbed into the Reich. In order to make way for ethnic Germans from other parts of Eastern Europe, the Poles from that area were deported eastwards into central Poland, which constituted the western sector of the General Government. The Jews and gypsies were deported into the eastern sector of the General Government in the region of Lublin.
5.171Initially the Jews were concentrated in ghettoes where living conditions were atrocious. But, following the Nazi invasion of Russia in June 1941, there was a change of policy. As I will describe in greater detail hereafter, task forces called Einsatzgruppen set about the systematic killing of Soviet Jews. In about the autumn of 1941 the extermination policy was extended to Jews in the area of the General Government. The gassing of Jews commenced in December 1941 at an extermination centre called Chelmno in the Warthegau; the latter being an area containing territory incorporated into the Reich after the conquest of Poland. In November 1941 construction of another death camp started in the General Government at Belzec which is situated south-east of Lublin. Jews were murdered in gas chambers at this camp. Two further camps were established the following year at Sobibor and Treblinka.
5.172So much is common ground between the parties. What is in issue is the manner in which Irving deals with the question of whether Hitler was aware of the policy of exterminating Jews.

Salmon on a Bed of Leeks
Leeks were enjoyed in Egypt and Mesopotamia as long ago as 2,000 BCE.
These tasty white-and-green stalks are members of the Allium family, which includes onions and garlic, but offer a more delicate, sweeter flavor.
Leeks provide many of the same beneficial compounds found in garlic and onions, albeit in smaller amounts.
Diets rich in Allium vegetables can enhance cholesterol profiles and reduce the tendency of blood to clot in unhealthful fashion.
Regular consumption of Allium-family vegetables may also reduce risk of prostate and colon cancer. Several of the compounds found in Allium vegetables protect colon cells from cancer-causing toxins, while also stopping the growth and spread of cancer cells.
Leeks are available throughout the year, but are in season from the fall through spring, when they are at their best.
Salmon on a Bed of Leeks
Serves 2
1 bunch leeks (3 to 4)
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon organic extra virgin olive or macadamia nut oil
1/2 cup dry white wine or vermouth
2 6 oz wild Alaskan Salmon fillet portions
2 tablespoons grated Gruyere cheese
Sea salt and organic black pepper to taste

February 22, 2006
It's day two of our special assignment Dumb and Dangerous Driving. You e-mailed us about bad driving and we set out to catch it on camera.
Bad driving doesn't just happen when your car is moving. Cars parked in the wrong space can also create big backups. Take a look at the Dumb and Dangerous Driving and parking we caught on camera.
After your emails poured in, photojournalist Kevin Carlson and I set out to catch local drivers in the danger zone.
One viewer writes about Union Street in Aiken. A train divides the street in half and our cameras catch this car trying to beat the train. There's no accident, but it's a close call.
Later in the day the rain comes down in Aiken. We head out to Aiken's busiest street, Whiskey Road. There are several red light runners at Whiskey and East Gate Drive by the Aiken Mall.
At the Whiskey and Pinelog Road intersection the lights get backed up. Drivers trying to turn on green get stuck in the middle after it turns red. This car just avoids getting hit. And drivers say it's the norm.
"It's a constant really, coming through this intersection and trying to make a turn and then you usually get caught," said Greta Way, Aiken driver.
On Saturday, parking at Augusta's Y is always crowded. Many people park in the grass or way down there. But just because it's tough to find a space doesn't mean it's okay to break the rules.
As we circle the parking lot for a space this car comes at us head on, blocking us for a while. And we notice a car parked in what isn't a space, could be tough for the drivers on either side to get out of their spots. But this Corolla with its blinking lights really stands out, parked in the fire lane. We watch it sit there for 24 minutes. Nearby cars have a tough job backing out, and some traffic gets blocked because of the car. When the driver comes out, we ask her why she did this.
"We couldn't help but see that you were blocking the fire lane for at least 20 minutes," News 12 said.
"I couldn't find my baby, I was late and he had to play two games," the driver said.
"Well, why not park in the grass or somewhere that's legal? What if a fire truck came?" News 12 said.
"It was an accident, I completely forgot," the driver said.
We still can't see how you can accidentally park on this curb painted bright red with Fire Lane written in bright yellow. But this driver promised to be more careful in the future.
And we have another night of Dumb and Dangerous Driving. Tomorrow night on News 12 at 6 o'clock several of you wrote us about the turn lane on Wheeler Road going onto Robert C. Daniel Parkway. We confront drivers who are creating a backup there.

Many of our guests at Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast have never heard of Select Registry. We are honored to be a member since 2006. At this time there are only eight Inns in Ohio. I thought I would give an explanation as to what it is all about. We give each of our guests a Select Registry directory book to take home with them to use as a reference for a future getaway.
The association was founded in the late 1960's by Norman Simpson, the "father of Country Inn travel in American". In his pioneering book, "Country Inns and Back Roads", Simpson noted that each member inn is original and unique, a reflection of the personalities and tastes of the individual innkeeper-owners. This was never intended to be a total guide to country inns in the United Stated and Canada, but rather a carefully selected group in inns or bed and breakfasts. The purpose was to encourage travelers to visit and to experience this unique type of personal hospitality. When Norman Simpson first compiled a directory of inns, there were twelve properties, primarily in the New England area. Today they represent nearly 400 of the finest country inns, bed and breakfasts, and unique small hotels from the United States and Canada – the very best the travel industry has to offer.
Select Registry carries out a quality assurance inspection for each of its nearly 400 inns. This program involves independent inspectors – not employees of Select Registry – with years of experience in the hospitality industry. The inspectors arrive unidentified, spend the night, and evaluate the inn on a detailed point system, which translates into a pass/fail grade for the inn. Inns applying for membership are inspected, as are existing members on a periodic schedule. Not all inns have what it takes to pass the inspections, and this process provides a guarantee to the traveling public that a Select Registry inn is in a class of its own. A recent internet directory identified over 20,000 country inns and bed and breakfasts in the United States and Canada. A select few of those are members of the Select Registry.
The historical registry 'Quill' is the original instrument of guest registration and has been incorporated into our association's graphic identity. You'll find the symbol in the guide book, carved into our coffee mugs, printed on our wine glasses, embroidered on our robes and on all printed and web material. It is a brand you can count on when you see it.
Hope to see you soon,
Whispering Pines Bed & Breakfast

OAKLAND -- BrightSource Energy has raised $15 million in an equity and promissory note offering, according to a regulatory filing on Wednesday by the solar energy company.
All told, BrightSource Energy seeks to raise $35 million, the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission showed.
Oakland-based BrightSource said 44 investors were involved in the equity and note offering. The SEC filing didn't identify the investors.
BrightSource has developed a solar thermal technology to concentrate the sun's energy into high-temperature steam.
The company's largest project is a 377-megawatt solar complex in the Mojave Desert. The project has the capacity to generate electricity for 140,000 homes.
In early June, John Woolard disclosed he would step down as chief executive officer of BrightSource.
In a blog posted on the company's Web site on June 6, Woolard and BrightSource Executive Chairman H. David Ramm described the "next stage of growth" for the company.
"BrightSource has accomplished a tremendous amount over the last seven years," Woolard and Ramm wrote. "We are committed to work together as a team as we advance the company's technology, expand our geographic scope, and transition to a new CEO over the next few months."

STANFORD -- Stanford coach David Shaw has agreed to what the school called a "long-term" contract extension.
The length of the deal was not disclosed, nor was Shaw's compensation.
"Everyone understands his value and leadership," athletic director Bernard Muir said Wednesday after Stanford announced Shaw's extension.
Shaw, a former Cardinal receiver who counts Bill Walsh as a mentor, had two years remaining on the contract he signed upon replacing Jim Harbaugh in January 2011.
Shaw has compiled a 22-4 record with two Bowl Championship Series appearances and a conference title in his two seasons.
He is also one of a handful of coaches to be named Pac-12 Coach of the Year in back-to-back years.
Despite insistence that he had no interest in leaving Stanford, Shaw was a rumored candidate for various college and NFL openings.
"I want to be around until my kids graduate from here," said Shaw, who has three children.
"This is not a stopgap job. I love it here. My family loves it here. My wife (Kori) loves it here. We want to be here for a long time."
Notre Dame's Brian Kelly won the award with 25 votes from the AP college football poll panel. Penn State's Bill O'Brien was second with 14 votes, followed by Shaw (four), Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin (three), Kansas State's Bill Snyder (two) and Alabama's Nick Saban (one).

Therefore, as the convener of the International Education Committee, please arrange, as soon as feasible, an organizational meeting. In addition to a chairperson, please also elect a secretary.
Primary responsibilities of the chairperson include:

· organizing and conducting meetings.
· completing a year end report on the International Education Committee activities to be submitted to the Senate Office no later than May 31, 2010.

In the event the committee chooses to rotate secretarial duties, please designate one person to be responsible for e-mailing the meeting minutes to Sibbie Weathers.
In addition to the committee's normal duties, I ask that the committee consider and report on the following special charges:
· In coordination with the Office of International Education, continue to review and monitor the status of International Housing issues and make any appropriate recommendations.
· Continue the collaboration with the Select Committee on Internationalization concerning the future of the International Website.

StarOffice Presentation Minimizer
By Tim Thomas on Apr 16, 2009
I would like to point people to my favorite StarOffice plugin, the StarOffice Minimiser. You can get it here, and I do so wish that everyone would use it. Many presentations I download now exceed 10MB in size, and some exceed 20MB, and this is usually because they are full of JPEGS that have a resolution more suited to the sides of buildings than a presentation!
You can use the StarOffice Minimiser repeatedly on the same slide set as you add/change slides (i.e. new images will be minimized, previously minimised images will not be minimized again). There are also options to delete hidden slides and removes notes as part of the process, if desired.
