        Really like this color coded system for helping kids understand the level of importance of tasks.

  • Genetic Link Found To Glioblastoma - Health News Story - WCVB Boston on 2009-07-15
    • A gene that researchers believe would suppress the growth of tumors is missing
      in 75 percent of patients studied. That absence could allow other, more
      aggressive genes that fuel cancer to take over.

        It seems that understanding the genetic components of illness is the key to unlocking cures for all diseases.

  • Shop and stop - The Boston Globe on 2009-07-15
    • The friendly red-and-white color scheme, the cute ads, the democratic “Design
      for All’’ motto, they all got me. I always fell in love 50 times between the
      front door and the diaper aisle: With the edgy shirts, the impossibly stylish

  • How to Use Diigo on 2009-07-14
    • Diigo is like Del.icio.us on steroids and if they were brothers then Diigo would
      definitely be the less popular (but much smarter) younger brother.
      • Another thing that Diigo can do for you is automate this process with the
        ‘Daily Blog Post’ feature. Here’s how you do it:


        • Go to the Daily Blog Post page.
        • Select blog(s) from the blog list on the left (or start by entering “Add a
          blog”).
        • Click “Add a new job” to create a posting job – No codes insert needed!
        • You’re then given the choice of displaying your Annotations only, all, or
          just links.
        • With Diigo’s “transparent” web-annotation platform, your readers can click
          and view your annotated webpages with your public highlights/sticky notes even
          without any Diigo toolbar installed!
  • NTSB: Fatal crash could have been prevented - Newton - Your Town - Boston.com on 2009-07-14
    • Investigators for the National Transportation Safety Board said today that a
      fatal Green Line crash in May 2008 could have been prevented if the MBTA had an
      automated train control system.
