- From The Progress Report who has begun highlighting a BLOG of the day. The White House contacted the CEO of AdvancePCS – a pharmacy benefit management company – while it was writing key parts of the Medicare "drug discount card" bill, despite the fact that the company would make millions from the bill, and the President himself was an original investor in the company. The CEO, David Halbert, had previously "helped clean up a deal with Harken Energy that had prompted an SEC investigation of George W. Bush," was a big funder of Bush's gubernatorial campaigns, and had given Bush the investment opportunity in AdvancePCS, which made the President up to $1 million. |

- Origami - the Japanese art of folding paper to make models - is being put to a new use - to help engineers design, amongst other things, new telescopes and cars. Exploiting the study of the way that paper folds, known as computational origami, can reveal both better ways to construct objects and also predict how they will respond to certain pressures. So why didn't all those times I spent playing football with an origami football or MASH (Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House game) pay off? (Meryl) |

- Does adding wireless connectivity to a notebook make workers more productive? Intel says it does. The company recently sent me a report detailing the results of a study it conducted with about 100 of its own employees over a two-month period. Intel migrated the employees from Pentium II-based notebooks up to its new Centrino-based technology (which includes integrated 802.11b wireless LAN connectivity) and recorded quantitative data regarding productivity of the staff members. |

- When I was in Florida, mom was all about cooking a good Atkins breakfast for me and my dad. She makes the best damn scrambled eggs with cheese ever in the universe, all browned and gooey with crispy cheese bits. And believe me, I've eaten my share of scrambled eggs and cheese on this diet to be a connoisseur of such things. I watched her every move this time. Simple enough ingredients. |
