2011 law school grads, 9 months later:
55% in law jobs (10% in big
firms)
9% unemployed (26% unemployed using a different definition)
National Law Journal article
money quote: "At 20 law
schools, more than 40 percent of graduates fell into Law School Transparency's
definition of underemployed."

The Joint Tactical Radio System was an amazing concept put forward by the US
military.
It was designed to future-proof the entire communications system used by all US
defense organizations, which is why it required 15 years of work and the
investment of $6 billion dollars.
Sadly, things didn't go to plan.

Looks like Larry Ellison is about to
buy 98 percent of the
island of Lanai. I bet he was
hoping to win Oracle vs.
Google so he could afford the other 2% :-) [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Right now the OS does little more than boot up, but if the embedded version of
Chromium can be made to function without issue it could make browsing the web on
the Broadcom SOC-sporting PC much less painful.
Then again, performance is a big question mark.

USPTO is not the only government organization/department
that seems to be
lacking in "intellectual skills".

Wow, is
Washington capable of doing anything right?
What is the per-capita ratio or
lawyers to everyone else in
Washington? Anyone know?

Apparently Larry Ellison just bought one
of the Hawaiian
islands.
In other news, Oracle just filed a change of venue motion
for
their appeal to be heard in Hawaii....:)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Results — Prospective studies on IgE
antibodies in three subjects following tick bites showed an
increase in IgE to
alpha-gal of twenty-fold or greater. Other evidence included i) a
strong
correlation between histories of tick bites and IgE to alpha-gal
(χ2=26.8, pAmblyomma americanum is
common, and iii) a significant
correlation between IgE antibodies to alpha-gal and IgE antibodies
to proteins
derived from A. americanum (rs=0.75, p[less than]0.001).

Allergic to Meat: Lone Star Tick May Make Vegetarians of Some

i just posted this because of the word
'ectoparasite' which i've never seen before, but if you have meat alergies or
live on the east coast (~ Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas,
Virginia, and the
southern half of Missouri) it is probably worth the read [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Microsoft Screws
Over Nokia
While pulling the most panic-stricken PR move
ever, Microsoft has guaranteed the death of the Windows Phone OS and proven it
should stick to what it knows: desktops. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"This voter registration and voter history system has been widely criticized
-- in Colorado, where it reportedly assigned voters who are Republicans as
Democrats, and vice versa, and in Tennessee where it has been proven to lose
