I’ve been an avid FireFox user for years.  One of the main reasons I like it is the huge variety of Add-ons that are available.  Google and Apple have recently added support for extensions to Chrome and Safari, respectively, but FireFox has such a massive head start on them in terms of Add-ons that it will take a while for them to catch up. I’ve got some Add-ons that I simply can’t live without.  I install them on every new computer the second I start using it.  There are still thousands out there I want to check out, but these are the ones that I use religiously: SearchStatus – Automatically displays the PageRank and Alexa ranking for every website that you go to.  It can display it as a graphical bar or a text number.  I like the number personally.  I always like to know how much authority and link juice a site has while I am reading it, and this is the best way.  My browser feels naked without it. Echofon (formerly TwitterFox) – An awesome Twitter client for FireFox.  Unlike TweetDeck, it doesn’t take up any additional resources on your computer.  I love it.

By guest blogger Sharon Halkovics It’s just the start of summer, and I admit to not always being motivated to cook meals involving more than two or three steps of preparation – especially on weeknights.  One of the magnificent perks summer brings forth is brilliantly fresh, abundant produce that is showcased most stunningly with little alteration.  I’ve been absolutely thrilled to start regular harvest of items from my garden.  Just this past week, I’ve picked radishes, broccoli rabe, arugula, lettuce, herbs, and green onions. When I arrived home around 7:30 last night to a warm, sleepy, slightly muggy kitchen, I was not very interested in preparing anything that required more then 15 minutes of attention.  Blissfully, I opened windows and doors, headed out to the garden to gather a beautiful bunch of bright green spring onions, and prepared a delicious 15 minute dish using a recipe from the Momofuku cookbook: Ginger Scallion Sauce.  I altered David Chang’s recipe just a bit (cut down on the ginger, added a small amount of seasoned rice vinegar, a tablespoon of sesame oil, and a splash of fish sauce) and served it over cold soba noodles with a few scoops of avocado.  Yet another simple recipe to keep at my finger tips, as it is refreshing and amazingly versatile. I’d honestly LOVE to get comments and conversations rolling with readers, fans and customers about your ‘go-to’ lazy summer day recipes.  Many Boulder County Farmers’ Market shoppers stop by our booth regularly to pick up market recipes and enjoy their simplicity.  I encourage you to let us know your favorites so we can offer more recipes that you’ll want to keep in your ‘back pocket’ and use over and over again.

Remember those puzzles you used to do when you were six or seven? That mass of dots and numbers on a page just looked like a mess. But when you went through and connected dot 1 to dot 2, moving on through dots 100 and 101, you wound up with a picture of a pony.

Through the early 1960s, it was common practice for employers to segregate job listings for men and women. In many cases, identical ads were run for each gender – but with a lower pay rate for the job targeting women.

Last Friday my daughter and I enjoyed a lovely Indian cooking class with Rinku Bhattacharya, a special blogger friend and excellent cooking teacher.  She took us through the paces to prepare a complete Indian meal consisting of garlic cumin rice, saag paneer ( creamy spinach wth cubed Indian cheese), naan and tomato cardamom chicken curry. Her downstairs cooking class kitchen was soon filled with the aromas of heavenly Indian spices.  Rinku clearly explained each step as we chopped, pureed and kneaded our way along

Unfortunately, the world of query letter writing is one of numbers:  the more you write, the more responses you get.  Now that gets a little daunting at first, because you might not get any (or few) replies – even rejections!  Hopefully, if you’re following along with our other query letter tips, you’ll be getting better and better

The search for the genetic underpinnings of autism spectrum disorder has just yielded a new set of clues. In the largest study to date, the Autism Genome Project consortium reports that people with autism have more copy number variants – segments of DNA that have been either duplicated or deleted – in their genes. The results, published today in Nature, could eventually be used to develop quick diagnostic tests

A bit of background information: this is a meeting I am really happy to be part of, and even more so honored to be a co-organizer. One of my main scientific interests is the prediction of the function of genes and proteins of unknown function. Some background information: we have sequenced more than 1000 genomes of microbes, and hundreds of plants and animals.

If there were life on the Saturnian moon of Titan, the thinking goes, it would have to inhabit pools of methane or ethane at a cool -300 degrees Fahrenheit, and without the aid of water. While scientists don’t know just what that life would look like, they can predict what effects such tiny microbes would have on Titan’s atmosphere. That’s why researchers from the Cassini mission are excited now: They’ve found signatures that match those expectations

Yikes! Hospital uses armed man in unannounced drill Test of security procedures results in frightening moments By Marshall Allen Saturday, May 29, 2010 | 2:01 a.m. How’s this for an ill-conceived emergency preparedness drill? An off-duty cop pretending to be a terrorist stormed into a hospital intensive care unit brandishing a handgun, which he pointed at nurses while herding them down a corridor and into a room.

When I was growing up, my parents taught me that it is customary to be grateful and polite when you are invited to somebody’s house. The rules would be no different for the White House, of course.  Maybe that is why I have been hesitant to write about my trip to DC until now.  I

The University of California is mulling a boycott of Nature Publishing Group in response to what it claims is a proposed 400% increase in subscription fees to the group’s journals, a letter from the university’s libraries reveals. Dated 4 June, the letter says that unless NPG keeps to the current subscription agreement, faculty will be asked to cease submitting papers and undertaking peer review for NPG journals, to resign from all NPG editorial and advisory boards, and to not advertise jobs…
