When Money

Rated Jul 27 • 1 review • health • livescience.com

" 'Happiness and well-being may not depend on a person's financial state in times of health, but when that health fails, as it will eventually for most of us, money matters,' said lead researcher Peter Ubel, a professor of internal medicine and psychology at the University of Michigan."

Interesting take on things...

Introduction to Wolfram|Alpha by Stephen Wolfram

Rated Jul 12 • 1 review • search, technology, search engine • wolframalpha.com

In-freakin'-credible !

Stephen Wolfram, who brought you the world's most thorough math website, MathWorld, has designed a search engine that can almost read your mind!

I exaggerate - but it really is amazing, and you should take the 13 1/2 minutes to see the Overview video.

Want to compare fish production in France to New York City's trash output? Wolfram|Alpha can do it.

See where the International Space Station is? Just type in "ISS."

How popular is your first name? Type it in and see.

And it's relatively new - only "Open to the Public" since May 15, 2009. I could spend days here...

"There are no schools we know of that teach cats how to perform helpful tasks, as there are for dogs. Cats that rise to the occasion to become service animals are generally not taught to do the job. They understand there is a need, and they fill it. ..."

"Cats often have a very strong bond with their owners, and a desire to protect them from harm. ..."

"[Dr. Bill Thomas] found a remarkable difference in the health of nursing home residents once cats came to live with them. In one specific instance, the residents experienced a 50% drop in infection rates. Even more remarkable, there were 25% fewer deaths than at a similar facility that did not have resident cats."
