Oh kids these days get all the fun! I wish my science class (back in the day) offered our class a challenge to fly a cellphone with GPS & camera up into the stratosphere to take photos of the Earth’s curvature. Alas, the closest I came was an egg drop contest, which was designed to teach about gravity, mass, and seat belt safety (don’t ask). A firetruck ladder would drop our eggs in our homemade egg protection cases and see whose eggs survived the fall

From the NYTimes : Latisse is the same formula as Lumigan, Allergan’s eyedrops for glaucoma, which reduces eye pressure but also happens to grow lashes. Both are also known as bimatoprost ophthalmic solution. In early 2009, Allergan introduced the drug as a lash enhancer

Multi-party HD videoconferencing is often thought of as an expensive proposition that is restricted to special boardrooms with expensive video equipment and large monitor displays. One of the major driving forces behind videoconferencing is its ability to enable collaborative meetings across distances with multiple participants, so having multiple high-tech videoconferencing boardrooms can be cost prohibitive. Further, many employees work from home all or part of the week or travel, which would make attendance at a fixed videoconferencing boardroom impossible.

The CDC study shows that six in 10 American adults were regular drinkers in 2005-2007, but only about three in 10 regularly exercised. Since 1997, rates of cigarette smoking have declined by several percentage points, rates of obesity have climbed, and rates of alcohol use, exercise, and sleep have remained relatively unchanged.

Golfers playing in Vail, Colorado, at 2500 meters (roughly 8200 feet) above sea level, got significantly more burn protection from sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 70+ compared to one with an SPF of 15. There is 8-10 percent increase in sun exposure for every thousand feet of elevation . In the summertime, you can get anywhere from 40 percent to 50 percent greater sun intensity than at sea level.

DoubleSided: HP’s ePrint Technology Bypasses Drivers With Email; Google Also Has a Plan John Gage is credited with coining the phrase “the network is the computer” when he worked for Sun Microsystems well before the Internet became commonplace. If the statement wasn’t true then, it certainly is now as we all benefit from so-called cloud-based services ranging from online banking to word processing. As we move to the cloud and go mobile with smartphones, what happens to the printer

From CNN : Men with cardiovascular disease and ED were twice as likely to die from all causes than men who did not have erectile dysfunction. And those with ED were 1.6 times more likely to suffer from a serious cardiovascular problem such as a heart attack or stroke. Erectile dysfunction is something that regularly should be addressed in the medical history of patients; it might be a symptom of early atherosclerosis.

Energy Star Labels on Printers Save You Money and Help Protect the Environment Printers, like refrigerators, can qualify for an Energy Star label: a government-backed symbol that means the product will save you money and help the environment by reducing energy use. Printers earn the Energy Star label by meeting product specifications published by the Environmental Protection Agency ( Energy Star Program Requirements for Imaging Equipment , July 2009 version 1.1).

David A Kessler , former commissioner of the FDA (the US Food and Drug Administration): “Our favourite foods are making us fat, yet we can’t resist, because eating them is changing our minds as well as bodies For example, KFC’s approach to battering its food results in “an optimised fat pick-up system”. With its flour, salt, MSG, maltodextrin, sugar, corn syrup and spice, the fried coating imparts flavour that touches on all three points of the compass while giving the consumer the perception of a bargain – a big plate of food at a good price.” The ranks of overweight adults and children continue to increase

PrinTip: Laser Printer Makers Don’t List Processor Specs So Look at Pages Per Minute Instead Printers are not like personal computers. When you buy a personal computer, the processor and its speed may influence your decision to buy one computer over another. When you buy a printer, a processor only matters if you buy a laser printer — yet most consumers don’t take processor speed into account (we ourselves don’t list it in our Specs That Matter section for reasons explained below)
