Evil Geniusby Catherine Jinks
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Cadel Piggott has a genius IQ and a fascination with systems of all kinds. At seven, he was illegally hacking into computers. Now he's fourteen and studying for his World Domination degree, taking classes like embezzlement, misinformation, forgery, and infiltration at the institute founded by criminal mastermind Dr. Phineas Darkkon. Although Cadel may be advanced beyond his years, at heart he's a lonely kid. When he falls for the mysterious and brilliant Kay-Lee, he begins to question the moral implications of his studies for the first time. But is it too late to stop Dr. Darkkon from carrying out his evil plot?
An engrossing thriller with darkness and humor, freaks and geeks, Evil Genius explores the fine line between good and evil in a strange world of manipulations and subterfuge where nothing is as it seems.
"With a series of breakneck twists and turns, Jinks's (the Pagan Chronicles) latest novel follows Cadel Piggott, a seven-year-old Australian boy with an incredible mind and a proclivity toward mischief: 'He loved systems: phone systems, electrical systems, car engines, complicated traffic intersections.' Following a string of disasters, which Cadel engineers (e.g., hacking into the city's power grid), his desperate adoptive parents take him to a psychologist, Dr. Thaddeus Roth. But instead of refocusing Cadel on more positive activities, Dr. Roth encourages the boy to develop increasingly destructive plans, such as orchestrating massive traffic jams and manipulating his classmates' emotions so that they turn on one another. Dr. Roth also stuns Cadel by revealing that he is employed by Cadel's birth father, Dr. Phineas Darkkon, a criminal mastermind serving a life sentence. From prison, Dr. Darkkon established the Axis Institute for the world's genetically talented and criminally inclined. Drs. Roth and Darkkon convince Cadel to join its small freshman class, and Cadel slowly uncovers a conspiracy of lies and betrayals that leave no aspect of his life untouched. Jinks has created an intricate, well-constructed and layered reality in this hefty novel, and as the complex deceptions that have shaped Cadel's life come to light, his emotional unraveling and awakening will likely engross readers. Ages 12-up." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"This book will appeal to younger teens who can see the possibilities for adventure through the eyes of the bad guys." VOYA
"[T]he dark humor and freakish characters (the student whose stench is so awful he has to wear a spaceman-like suit; the beautiful, devious, mind-reading twins) may grab fantasy readers with a cynical bent who are looking for something out of the ordinary." KLIATT
An entertaining romp through sinister evil.
A gripping sci-fi thriller about a spaceship that transforms into a living organism and then begins to turn on the human crew as if they are parasites.
What happens when a single moment changes everything? For seventeen-year-old Cheney, life on earth exists only in history books. He and more than one thousand other people have known life only aboard the Plexus spacecraft: self-contained, systematic, and serene. But that was before the radiation wave.
Now Plexus has suddenly turned on them, becoming a terrifying and unrecognizable force. As the crew dwindles under attack, Cheney and his friends need to fight back before the ship thats nurtured them for so long becomes responsible for their destruction.
Now that the Axis Institute for World Domination has been blown up; the founder, Dr. Phineas Darkkon, has died; and Prosper English (who enrolled Cadel in the first place) is in jail for myriad offenses, Cadel Piggott has round-the-clock surveillance so he'll be safe until he testifies against Prosper English. But nobody seems to want Cadel. Not Fiona, his social worker; not Saul Greeniaus, the detective assigned to protect him.
and#160;and#160;and#160;and#160; When he is approached by the head of Genius Squad--a group formed to investigate GenoME, one of Darkkon's pet projects--Cadel is dubious Genius Squad can offer him a real home and all the technology his heart desires. But why can't he bring himself to tell Saul what the group is really up to? And how can Genius Squad protect Cadel once Prosper English breaks out of jail?

Cigarette Use Among High School Students—United States, 1991–2009
July 9, 2010 / Vol. 59 / No. 26
- Intro
- Highlights
- Full text
MMWR Introduction
Analyses of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) found that the prevalence of current cigarette use among high school students began to decline after a peak in the late 1990s, but the rate of decline slowed during 2003—2009. Effective strategies to increase the rate of decline in cigarette use among high school students include expanded counter-advertising mass media campaigns; reductions in tobacco advertising, promotions, and availability of tobacco products; tobacco-free environments; programs that promote changes in social norms; and higher prices for tobacco products through increases in excise taxes.

I think they call it marketing.
You're lucky you have a 40 I want one for second car but that's impossible now
I read somewhere that the guy tried it with the 40 and it work you might want to try it let us know
I was initially stated that all Tesla models S would have free supercharging then it changed for some reason. 40's should get it since anyone with 40 was an early adopter when it was advertised all Tesla's would have free super charge.
The superchargers were not even part of the conversation when the 40s were ordered...
And all can have it. Upgrade the 40 to a 60 via the software upgrade and then pay the supercharger activation fee...
As a 40 owner I'm naturally biased.
I can think of a few minor reasons why Tesla doesn't offer the SC option for the 40. As others have stated, Tesla made a big deal about how Model S owners could use the SC network. Given how infrequently a 40 would use the SC network, I think Tesla could get a lot of possitive exposure by offering 40 owners the SC option at the same price as 60/85 owners.
I think this is an area where Tesla could improve. People frequently ask me questions about the car. I tire of explaining how the 40's were excluded without being able to provide a good reason. I think it takes a bit of the shine off an otherwise good experience.
My understanding is that the original 40kWh battery was not going to be able to handle the amount of juice a Supercharger delivers.
Later they decided to just software limit the 60kWh battery instead of making different batteries because there was so few orders.
There was so few car orders without Supercharging that they just decided it was more efficient to just install the hardware and make it software activated.
They were adapting to the market on the fly. It turned out great for the 40kWh customers.
eAdopter - I agree, I find myself explaining to others a lot that yeah, the SC network is out there for longer trips, but I can't access it, so I have to use my wife's ICE. It's just confusing to explain.
church - I don't think this is a marketing tactic, but rather Tesla not wanting 40 owners trying to make it to the next SC and running out of juice on the way there. I'm pretty sure this would be a rare occurrence though.
webcrawler - I don't really need a 60 for range purposes, and $11k is a lot to cough up for something I don't really need on a routine basis (and would only add about half of the upgrade fee to the value of my car). I'd rather put that $ towards my next Tesla.
Would other 40 owners pay $2500 to get access to the SC network?
Just called tech support - they didn't have an answer as to why the 40s can't access the SC network, but they are adding this to the "feature request" list.
I ordered the 40 since it met my range requirements and the car battery would weigh 30% less then the 60 kw battery pack and would allow for better acceleration and range. Now I get to carry around the extra weigh which reduces range and acceleration. We get to carry the extra baggage with none of the benefits.
I understand your complaints, but you do get some benefit from having the 60 kWh battery in your car.
1. You have to option to increase capacity via OTA update at anytime. Even if you don't use this, it would make your car worth more at resale.
2. Your battery should last longer since you never charge to the maximum.
I would definitely pay the full $2,500 for the Supercharger access if that was an option on my 40 (and I mention this just about every time I visit a service center). Yes, it wouldn't get me long-distance travel, but it would open up my Model S traveling options to Madison, WI; South Bend, IN and a few other places (Indianapolis maybe soon). These are places that I travel to often for work in my wife's sporty Honda Odyssey.
That being said, when we confirmed our purchase on the 40s, we thought we were getting a 40 kWh battery, no option for Supercharger access, and a slower car (acceleration and top speed) than the 60 kWh version. We did get a great deal in that we received the performance of the 60 kWh version at no additional cost, plus we now have an option to upgrade in the future to a full 60 kWh car (with or without Supercharger access). These are all things we didn't think we would be able to do when we confirmed.
In the end, I don't mind at all that Tesla makes us upgrade the battery first before allowing Supercharger access given that this is the same decision/dilemma we had before final confirmation; however, I personally will never upgrade at full price (especially given that the longer we own our cars, the less time we will get to use the benefit, plus the benefit is reduced even further by our batteries degrading over time).
I do believe that they will eventually reduce the price to unlock. I don't know if that will be this year or two years from now, but if they ever do offer a reduced price, I may or may not upgrade based on their asking price and my perceived remaining useful life of the vehicle.
@robgoodin: actually, the 40s were going to be slower in acceleration. At the time we ordered, they were quoting 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds for the 40. As for range, I believe they gave us access to a little over 40 kWh to make up for this (43.2 kWh is what I remember calculating).
In addition, the top speed was going to be limited to 110 mph for the 40 (vs. 120 mph with the 60). However, this point doesn't mean anything to me given that I will likely never test the top speed.
Now, we do likely use more energy per mile given the extra weight, but I'm okay with that given the increase in performance.
The other problems with the original 40 kWhr packs is that if they did Supercharge, they would tie up a Supercharger for just as long as a 60 kWhr or an 85 kWhr. This is because, all other things the same, smaller batteries can't accept as fast a charge as larger ones. They would then tie up the Superchargers by needing to stop at every one for longer time each.
Unfortunately, the 40 kWhr battery pack weighed just as much as the 60 kWhr and the 85 kWhr. This is because the handling and safety design assume the same mass for all cars. My understanding was that the 40 kWhr pack was going to have to have a lead weight added.
I wonder if the fact that this seems wrong was one of the motivators for Tesla to cancel that option.
You 40 kWhr folks really did come out ahead since your packs should last longer than the original 40 kWhr packs since you can't put as much stress on them by charging fully or discharging fully.
" I know the SC network is built for 60s, but I don't need to drive across the country - I just want to drive from San Diego to LA."
That's a good reason. No one owes you anything if you recognized it when you made the purchase.
carlk - I guess my point is that I'm willing to pay Tesla $2500 to access the SC network, but not $13,500. It's lost revenue to Tesla (not much I admit) to not allow 40s to purchase access to the SC network. I just can't think of a valid reason to not allow 40s to use it if they are willing to pay for but don't need/want the range of a 60.
It would make a small group of their customers happy. Would 60 and 85 owners be upset if 40s could pay $2500 to access the SC network?
@DavidE35 You were not allowed to pay $2500 to access the SC network when you placed the order. For that you need to make the hard choice of if it's worth it for you to spend more. The pricing structure is such that the priority is for Tesla to make reasonably profit and not to make everyone happy which is an unachievable goal anyway. Nothing has changed because you took advantage of getting a software limited 60kWh. You don't think that is fair?
I have two of the 40's and we were told that if we get leather and air, that would speed up the car delivery. Also supercharging was included when we places our orders.
I thought that the supercharging option would be nice, for $2,500, for the once or twice I would use it. It would be extra income for Tesla.
I don't think that the approx. 400 of the 40's would even make a dent in the supercharging network.
@David, to the specific question that I, as an 85 owner would be upset if you could activate supercharging for $2500...the answer is no. Given so few 40's I don't think it would impact wait times at SC's much at all.
That said, @carlk is making a ton of sense.
I have been on teslamotors.com from the point Model S became configurable. The Superchargers were never available to the 40kWh battery. The pricing structure is included supercharger access with 85kWh battery. $2500 with the 60kWh battery and following that logic if it were ever to be added in the future it should be $5000 for the 40kWh battery.
Any other car company would have not accommodated the less than 5% that chose a 40kWh battery. Not give you a battery that costs $10K more and software limiting it to 40kWh to keep the small group of people happy.
Now those who when they confirmed their order knew exactly what they were ordering because you don't need to drive beyond the range offered by the 40kWh battery think that should all change to allow the very things they did not need when ordering their car. And to insist that ontop of not paying for the 60kWh additional cost.
I was one of the original reservation for the S40 and knew the car was slower, and could not use the SC's. It was always clearly communicated in the website. I switched my configuration to the S60 just a few days before they made the announcement of the substitution for the S40 reservation holders. Yes, I was pissed for a few months. We all know the S40 reservation holders got a sweet deal from Tesla. Don't forget that most or all of the S40's were priced at the 2012 pricing which was $2,500 lower. You basically bought the base S40 car for $49,900 once the federal rebate was factored in. You will benefit for a long time since you will have a longer battery life with little or no degradation, much much slower depreciation, and endless upgradability to an S60 with SC access. If I want a S85 I have to sell my S60 and buy a S85 to get one as opposed to just making a call to Tesla and having it done OTA. S40 owners got the best value for their money of all the Tesla owners. If SC access is wanted the $13,500 should be paid to be fair and not undercut all the other owners.
Hey Chuck! It's nice to hear from you.
I'm not sure if I read your post correctly. Did you get a 40 with Super Charging enabled?
I'm not complaining at all. I love my 40 and got a great deal. I understood that I would not have SC access at the time I bought it.
My question is what business purpose does Tesla have to disallow 40s from using the SC network. So far, I haven't really heard any compelling reasons. Although I'm sensing from some of the comments that some 60 owners that would have otherwise selected a 40 if not for the SC access restriction may be a bit resentful if the 40s are allowed to just pay $2500 to access the SC network.
Just because they didn't offer SC access for 40s originally doesn't mean that it makes sense to continue to restrict access. Seems like it would be revenue neutral for Tesla and would align the customer base. But then again, I'm biased.
Not complaining, just asking the question in hopes other 40 owners are interested and Tesla is listening. Perhaps they could put in a rule stating that 40 owners have to buy 60 and 85 owners a cup of coffee if they are taking up a spot in the SC lot.
Tesla really did right by the 40kWh buyers.
Tesla paid for all the cells for a 60, but only charged for 2/3 of them.
SuperCharging was never planned or promised for the 40, so no one lost out on anything.
Tying the SC upgrade to the 60kWh upgrade is a very reasonable way for Tesla to recover their cost to deliver the benefit.
Tesla's offer to provide the upgrade at any time that works for the buyer is an extraordinary, standup policy.
While more gifts would be nice, it's more reciprocal to be thanking them, than to expect something more.
I am an 85 owner and so have no bias here.
Upgrading to 60 and adding SC option is already available to 40 owners.
I don't see why Tesla is not allowing plain SC option for 40 owners. H/W is already in the car. This allows 40 owners to enjoy SC privileges. There are not too many 40s on the road and not all owners will get SC option. If they charge 2.5K for 60 owners, they may ask similar amount from 40 owners. Seems fair to everyone.
I support above as it seems the right thing. It is not that 40 owners are legally entitled for it. Tesla makes effort to retrofit many features on the old cars (like parking sensors, folding mirrors or twin chargers) at a cost. In this case it is a simple software setting for them. They should look into it.
What you've missed in your be fair at a cost is a 60kWh battery was given to the 40kWh buyers at no extra cost. That is the omly reason that being able to SC at this point even exists. They want now to not pay the additional $10K cost of the battery under their car and just pay the upcharge a 60kWh owner has to pay.
I have no problem with someone paying $12,500 and upgrading it to a true 60kWh battery with SC privileges. I don't have a problem with them leaving it software limited to 40kWh and paying $5000 for SC privileges. But to pay for a 40kWh while getting a 60kWh battery and pay only what a 60kWh owner has to pay is unfair.
The poster's that have the 40kWh that are pushing for the privilege have definitely said they won't pay the $10,000 more that their actual battery is worth. If they didn't get that battery given to them in the first place their car would not be in the situation where it could even be possible to get SC privileges.
They ordered a 40kWh, it never had the possibility to supercharge, it had the range they wanted. If it is no longer the car they really wanted they do have an option to pay $10,000 more for the battery and remove the software. The owners of the 60kWh don't have that option to increase to an 85kWh without actually paying the difference and getting another car.
That would be like someone with a 60kWh battery asking for Tesla to give them back $12,500 and have their car software limited to a 40kWh because they found they were never going to drive on long trips and don't want to supercharge anymore. Even though it is able to be done. Just because something is possible doesn't mean that it should be done.
I think if someone who has gone on these forums and bragged about how great a deal they got with their 40kWh battery and how people that paid $10,000 more for range they won't probably ever need or use was just stupid, can now come on here and post that just because they got a 60kWh battery for the original price of a 40kWh that they should be able to pay only the supercharger fee because it can be done.
I have an 85kWh battery that I will beg Tesla to return $20,000 of the price to software limit my Model S to act like a 40kWh if they do allow 40kWh to supercharge. Then if someday I want to go on a longer trip or just want to use Supercharger to fill up weekly I will just have them turn it back on at no extra charge because all the right equipment is already on my car.
The cars that can supercharge from the factory have special equipment just for DC to DC that is not on the cars that leave the factory not supercharger ready. It's not just an OTA change as most people think. The reason it is $500 more to add after the fact to a 60kWh than add to the original configuration is for the DC to DC equipment that is not on the non supercharger equipped 60kWh. So even though a software limited 40kWh is really a 60kWh battery it still is not just an OTA change to add Supercharging.
The 60 can be upgraded to an 85 according to David Noland at Green Car Reports. He paid $18,000. Search GCR for "Tesla upgrade".
I would say the business purpose is to encourage 40 owners to upgrade to the 60. That way they can recoup the loss they suffered on the car.
It was Tesla's decision to ship 40s with 60 batteries. I don't understand why owners of those vehicles should now be penalized out of "fairness" to those who paid more. There is no reason why a 40 owner needs to upgrade to a 60 capacity just to get the ability to pay for a supercharger upgrade. Tesla could make some money here where it otherwise couldn't. I don't see how that's a bad thing.
Capacity and supercharging are two different things that don't need to be tied together. Much in the same way people didn't appreciate the HPWC being bundled with the twin chargers.
@PaceyWhitter "I would say the business purpose is to encourage 40 owners to upgrade to the 60. That way they can recoup the loss they suffered on the car."
Do you mean by upgrade for $2,500 as op asked or $12,500 for the entire package?
Not making business sense is exactly the reason why 40kWh owners should not be allowed to pay only $2,500 to upgrade to SC capable. It prevents people from considering paying $12,500 to upgrade to 60kWh and, most importantly, it gives new customers a false impression that they could spend the minimum and Tesla will treat them nice in the future and let them to upgrade cheaper than they could when buying new. No good company with sound business practices will do that.
Well that's dumb. You can buy 85kWh for less $8,000 less. Why upgrade. By the 40kWh to 60kWh upgrade is meant to let you use the software restricted portion of the larger battery you already possess for the price of the smaller battery.
Obviously they are changing from a 60kWh to a different 85kWh battery for that $18,000 upgrade.
@Pacey Whitter
The only way to recoup the $10,000 lost to the 40kWh buyer is to upgrade them for $10,000 then if they want to supercharge they can pay $2500 more.
That goes directly against the subject post and following comments where they want to only pay $2500.

What are your thoughts on the camouflage trend?
Thursday, April 3, 2014
Trending: Camouflage Printed
Black Sequins + Silver Pumps styled by Jessye
Emerald Green + Boots styled by Darya
Bling + Bourdeaux styled by Kimberly
Blue Blazer + Ankle Boots styled by Negin
Leather + Breton Stripes styled by Jessy
Crochet + Mary Janes styled by the Fahionalble Esquire
Old Navy is a treasure trove for camo printed clothing. If you haven't visited the store, quickly make sure you do, before they sell out of the popular pieces you see below. I've fallen in love with their latest Spring collection. It's jam-packed with prints of all kinds, including the season's essential hues... whites and brights!

Great inspiration choices! I'm like Amy a little- I don't go on a military base often but there are a LOT of military people in my area and for a civilian to wear camo...I'd just feel too phony or like I'm playing dress up. If I didn't, I would be all over it since it's a fun play on a neutral.ReplyDelete

Love this collection of looks! I think the first one is my favorite!ReplyDelete

Comments about Remo Pinstripe Fusion ProPack:
These are the best drum heads Ive ever played on. they are durable and sound great! I bought these seven months ago and put them on the front of all my drums then about three months ago my local music shop had a sale on an Evans pro pack. I bought them and put them as back heads. After about two weeks they broke! Yet my seven month old remos are still holding strong, and sounding amazing! Remo is the best.
Comments about Remo Pinstripe Fusion ProPack:
These heads are GREAT, VERY durable, they help eliminate unwanted overtones while still letting the drum resonate. A lot of attack lending to a punchy and articulate sound. 2-ply heads help resist wear. They sound great, thats why I play them. If youre looking for heads that stand up to some abuse and also add some warmth try these. Coated embassadors are great for snare batter side, VERY nice for brush playing and also stand up to some heavy hitting. A great head for all styles of music.

Google has finally reached a deal with the European Commission in the antitrust case and, as expected, the company's competitors aren't pleased at all.
The displeasure comes from the fact that they weren't consulted this time around and that the European Commission chose to review the proposal on its own.
"A settlement without third party review is a massive failure. Complaints and others must see Google's proposed commitments, not just the Commission's analysis of why they will work. Hard data from market tests proved that the previous settlement would not work – we need time and opportunity to ensure full technical assessment of how effective the proposed remedies would be," noted David Wood, ICOMP general counsel, TechCrunch reports.
Other voices are displeased that the results promised by Google will be displayed on the right side of the search results page, which isn't exactly the go-to place for users.
Joaquin Almunia, the commissioner in charge of the case, believes that Google's proposal will address the concerns.
It's fairly easy to see why the European Commission chose, after more than three years, to go over the proposal without the prying eyes of Google's competitors, since they're obviously never going to be happy with any type of concession from Google.
"Without a third party review, Almunia risks having the wool pulled over his eyes by Google. Having initially welcomed earlier proposals, effective market tests demonstrated their fatal flaws and the commission rightly rejected them. Why has Almunia chosen to ignore the expert advice of the market on this occasion?" Wood further said.
He also doesn't believe Google will keep up its part of the deal, which is why he implores Almunia, in the name of ICOMP, to allow a third-party review of the submission, which is "the very least" they can do.

« Curse Of the Lost Compounds |
| Enhancing the Brain: Here We Go »
Posted by Derek
Fellow chemists, let's address a housekeeping problem. I know that not all of us are thrilled at all times with the American Chemical Society, but I think that we can agree that the journals it runs are (for the most part) a valuable resource.
And in these days of modern times, as the Firesign Theatre used to say, the presence of such journals on the internet is crucial. As many of you know, the ACS recently revamped the web pages for its journals, adding a number of new functions. Unfortunately, they seem to have taken away some at the same time.
Initially, on too many of journal sites, the graphical abstract was presented at a default size of "itsy bitsy". If you wanted to browse the ASAP in-press articles, you had to squint at tiny, fuzzy blobs to see what the authors of each article wanted you to know about it. And that's clearly not what a graphical abstract is for, is it? I'm relieved to see that this seems to have improved in the last few days.
But I'm not sure when the change took place, because I hardly ever visit the front doors of the ACS journals I read. That's because I, like many other scientists, follow these things through RSS feeds. (I use Google Reader myself – if anyone's just setting up an RSS reader and would like my OPML file, just e-mail me and I'll send it along and save you some time).
And what does the RSS feed look like now? Well, for several days, there were no graphical abstracts at all, which made the ACS feeds look just as ugly and nonfunctional as the Elsevier ones. Way to go! (Isn't it odd that Tet Letters, the journal that pioneered the whole idea of a graphical abstract in chemistry, doesn't include its graphics in its RSS stream? I don't get any, at any rate). Which reminds me - if you don't care for the Wiley feeds, either, specifically Angewandte Chemie's, you can get a better version of that one here.
I wrote the ACS support people and complained about the problem, and was told that they were fixing things. Well, their idea of a fix is apparently to include the tiny, blurry graphic in the feed – those have started showing up this week, and an irritatingly useless sight they are. This is one of those examples of taking something that was perfectly useful before – the RSS feeds they way they were last month – and improving them into junk. The ACS pages will be down again on Sunday, presumably for more fine-tuning. We'll see if the feeds return to functionality next week. If they don't. . .well, please consider adding your voice to the chorus asking that they do. Thanks!

I could not agree more as I read the ACS journals with Google Reader myself. And I have been telling the journal support what I think of that 'improvement'! I just hope that many people do that, this way we should have the graphical abstracts back in usable form soon.
I just cannot believe that they had no chemist as beta tester, and that this person would not have picked this up instantly!
This so reminds me of the odd 'IT improvement' in our industry...

Well, I, for one thing, would like to know who came up with the idea of removing an option of sorting search results by publication date.
3. Anonymous on December 5, 2008 10:40 AM writes...
they may have had a chemist as a beta tester, but maybe not an organic chemist. We're really the ones who think pictorially. Heck, I still don't feel right drawing structures with a pen, I need a pencil! Needless to say, I have no idea what you're talking about. RSS confuses and frightens me - I'm just a caveman ...
4. Anonymous on December 5, 2008 11:07 AM writes...
I don't use RSS, but I go directly to the ACS website, and the new site makes it much more difficult to read the ASAPs every day. The graphic quality for the displayed abstracts is very poor. They have this option to flip through other thumbnail images in the paper, but these come out very small in general and appear to be random images from the article with no context. Also, once you click to display graphical abstracts (this is not the default), and then proceed to view and article, when you go back to the ASAP list, the graphics are gone and it returns you to different part of the list from where you left. I have also been unable to sort search results by date.
I have emailed the ACS to complain and I encourage everyone else to do the same. There is a link for "comments and suggestions" on the JACS home page.

While on the subject of RSS feeds; I came across a way to create your own RSS feed in pubmed. I use it to keep track of authors, natural products, biological targets, etc.
6. Giagan on December 5, 2008 11:58 AM writes...
My e-mail ASAP alerts are a mess now. When the switch to the new site was made, they began sending them to my home e-mail address (where I obviously have no subscription to ACS journal content) rather than my work one. It's been difficult to get this straightened out.
To warn me of the change to my e-mail alerts, they sent me the same form e-mail *9* times in that week.
They are also sending me TOC alerts when a new issue is compiled, rather than the daily ASAP alerts that I prefer.
The times at which articles for a given day are posted seems inconsistent, meaning that I have to scan back daily through 2 days of graphical abstracts for all of the 11 journals I watch. I now have to check all 11 each day and I have to navigate to them separately, rather than simply following links to specific journals from the daily ASAP alerts.
I will send this feedback to the ACS, and I will also look into this RSS feed business that you all speak of.

8. MTK on December 5, 2008 1:11 PM writes...
One thing to bear in mind is that the same website can look different depending on your browser and your own personal settings. This is in fact one of the challenges that web designers run into in trying to get a particular look.
9. Molecular architect on December 5, 2008 2:47 PM writes...
Arghh! I'm getting the same result with RSS feeds using NetNewsWire (on Mac). This used to work beautifully and was a quick, efficient way to scan the graphical abstracts each day.
Why can't content providers follow the sage advice: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"?
Good point about Tet Letters. I don't understand why all publishers that have graphical abstracts don't include them in the RSS feed.

11. Handles on December 5, 2008 10:00 PM writes...
Giagan I had similar problems. I went to the alerts site, deselected all journals and saved, then reselected everything again. Now I at least get ASAP again, and the multiple copies have stopped.
12. jt on December 5, 2008 11:40 PM writes...
I too was dismayed by the "updated" ACS journals web site. I discovered, much to my delight, that if you log on with an iMAC the site ROCKS. Naturally, like nearly everyone on the planet, I have a Windows "operating" system run on a popular PC named after a very wealthy person with a short last name that rhymes with SMELL, at work. The ACS journals website sucks (to be polite) from my work computer.
Mystery solved: Toyota=iMAC; Buick=PC
13. zts on December 6, 2008 7:47 AM writes...
A picture is worth a thousand words. If I can't see the graphical abstract, I won't read the paper. They took something that used to work, and "upgraded" it, so now it is worthless. I used to read the journals via the RSS feeds, but when the graphical abstracts were shrunken, I went back to the web page. Unfortunately, they upgraded the web page too.
Apparently, the web page was designed to work properly on a PC *only* with Firefox, which is quite lazy because a lot of people still use IE (at work I have no choice). On IE, the graphical abstracts do not display by default. If you click the link to display them, they are so warped as to be almost unreadable. You can scroll through some of the graphics from the paper on this screen, but only some of them, not necessarily the most important ones, with no context, and most of them, again, are so small you can't read them.
The default page for the journal only shows the first 5 papers, you have to click another link to show all of them (then click again for the graphical abstracts), even though most people have fast enough internet connections that they can manage the whole list without any problem. ACS should be making things easier for us, not harder.
Choices for reading articles:
1) HTML, still useless because the graphics do not display in a readable size by default. For most of us, at least us organic chemists, the graphics are the most important part of the paper, and we skim them first. Some of the graphics do not have their captions, so when a scheme just has a, b, c, etc. over the arrows you cannot find out what the reagents are (at least on one of the papers I checked).
2) Pdf with links, a good idea, except it puts really thick ugly boxes around all the graphics. Sometimes these overlap with the figures making them hard to read. When I click on these links, what does it do but bring up a picture of the scheme. I could already see the scheme just fine, what is the point of this? Also, footnote numbers in the text are *not* hyperlinked to the footnote section, so you still have to scroll around. The supporting information is not hyperlinked to.
3) High-res pdf. The pdfs now have an annoying cover page showing when you downloaded the paper. This adds no value and just gets in the way, so now I have to take extra steps to print without that page, or delete it prior to saving a copy of the paper.
Additionally, I feel like the pages look more cluttered and unprofessional. Did the ACS have any chemists test this prior to rolling it out?

15. drug_hunter on December 6, 2008 9:32 PM writes...
From direct experience on editorial boards of several ACS journals, and longtime membership in ACS, I can tell you I've simply given up on ever expecting them to do the right or creative thing. The ACS simply doesn't have a lot of incentive to be innovative, and indeed are locked into a stodgy read-guard action to protect their fiefdom. Look at their nauseating response to PubChem and the increases in journal prices even though on-line delivery of journals is LESS expensive than paper. Other publishers are no better than ACS. I look forward to the day that CAS no longer has a stranglehold on chemical information, and that all scientific journals are free. We need the equivalent of PLOS for chemistry! www.plos.org
16. KB on December 7, 2008 12:33 PM writes...
Oh dear. From what I can see the site works least well on IE7. Which is a problem if you work at some large pharma companies since they are still stuck on IE6. In that case the site just won't work. At all. Messy messy redesign. One of the worst I have seen. There's just too much crap on the page before you get to the real stuff. Web 2.0 for the sake of it. They should hang their heads in shame
17. Jav aslinger on December 8, 2008 10:01 AM writes...
Interestingly, as I read these posts I recall thinking 'hmmm, I thought the new website was pretty good...'...
So I just checked again... I'm running a Vista system with Firfox 3.04.
Everything looks great... The pictures are clear and certainly large enough for me.
I can't speak to an RSS feed as I'm not sure what it is.. but just going to www.acs.org and browsing the journals looks fantastic on my system.

I am a complete noob at photoshopping but I have this GIMP on my operating system and I would like to fiddle around with it, maybe do some political cartoons using images. Thing is it all look likes gobbledy-gook and when I try to play around with it I get nowhere. When I click User Manual under Help I get this message:
The GIMP help browser plug-in appears to be missing from your installation.
So, I come here and enter "help browser plug-in" in the keyword search and get absolutely bupkiss. I try variations on it but no solid hits. Where is this manual?
I do a lot of tinkering around off-line so I would like to download this help manual to peruse at leisure without being connected.
Thank you for any help you can give.
Go to Edit/Preferences/Help System/
Change the web browser to "yelp %" (Without the quotes)
Then change the help browser to "Web Browser"
I figured it out from this post. I have Ubuntu 9.10, GIMP 2.6.7.
I have the gimp-help-en package installed already. In GIMP, I went to Edit > Preferences > Help System, and changed Help Browser > Help browser to use: to Web browser, and I changed Web Browser > Web browser to use: to "yelp" without the quotes.
Now when I hover over a menu item that says "Press F1 for more help" and I press F1, Gnome Desktop Help opens up looking at the correct article. Yay!
Just to make sure: has anyone reported this to Ubuntu yet? It's not really useful to discuss and make wild guesses guess about this here, at least.
Ubuntu bugs are tracked in launchpad:

Search continues for British man in Pacific Ocean
UK officials: Stinson, 38, fell from troubled sailboat
The U.S. Coast Guard and Navy continue to search a remote area in the middle of the Pacific Ocean for a British man who fell overboard from a troubled sailboat.
United Kingdom officials reported to the U.S. Coast Guard in Hawaii on Saturday night that 38-year-old Luke Stinson fell from the vessel. Coast Guard Petty Officer Eric Chandler says a woman remained aboard and was later rescued. The Navy diverted warship USS Peleliu to help search for Stinson.
The search continued Monday, with Navy helicopters and Coast Guard planes taking turns and resting on Midway Atoll.
Meanwhile, the sailboat is on its own on the ocean because the warship has no way to secure it. Navy crewmembers put a tracking device on the sailboat and turned on its navigation lights.

Document Number: 9038Effective Programs in Middle and High School Mathematics: A Best-Evidence Synthesis - There were 100 qualifying studies, 26 of which used random assignment to treatments. Effect sizes were very small for mathematics curricula and for computer-assisted instruction. Positive effects were found for two cooperative learning programs. Outcomes were similar for disadvantaged and nondisadvantaged students and for students of different ethnicities. Consistent with an earlier review of elementary programs, this article concludes that programs that affect daily teaching practices and student interactions have more promise than those emphasizing textbooks or technology alone. (Best Evidence Encyclopedia, October 2008)...

Last weekend, I attended this year's FIGMENT NYC festival on Governors Island and participated in HELLO!100: A Dance for 100 Hoopers. The 9-minute piece was choreographed by Bex Burton last year, when it was staged at Figment and at other hoop festivals as HELLO! A Spontaneous Dance for an Infinite Number of Hoopers: An Epic Tale of True Love.
It was a trek for me to get to Governors Island all the way from Long Island, so my collapsible Quattro hoop from Troo Hoops came in handy.
The dance was performed twice each day, once at 2PM and again at 4PM. Here are some shots from Sunday:
Bex gives us final instructions and a run-through of the choreography before we go on at 2PM.
Between performances, the Figment Peace Parade stopped at Picnic Point (where HELLO!100 was performed), and we hoopers joined in for a spontaneous jam/dance party.
Bex reminded us to save some energy for our 4PM performance. Here is the final video from Whitaker Films. Thanks to Bex, all the hoopers who performed, and everyone else involved for a wonderful weekend and spectacular performances!
