...lately boosted the pace of discovery. Structures that two decades ago would have taken a couple of researchers 10 years to crack can now be solved by one in a matter of weeks. "By the end of the five-year pilot phase," predicts John Norvell, director of the NIGMS program, "each of the centers will be producing 100 to 200 protein structures a year...
...video camera. "First we found out it's all about foam," says Zargarpour. "Then we found out it's all about mist." Reality was then simulated by ILM's software creators, fluid-dynamics expert John Anderson and programmer Masi Oka. Given variables like wind velocity, for example, the program could determine the size of a wave or the magnitude of a splash. ILM artists would often test hundreds of variables for a single shot, and Zargarpour's team would provide "shaders" to simulate texture and reflection of light...
...program's success is not surprising, especially considering the results of a new survey conducted for the Nickelodeon channel and TIME. What emerges from the poll of 991 kids, ages 9 to 14, plus 400 parents and 103 middle school teachers, is a noteworthy disconnect in many families over parental involvement in their children's education. While 92% of the parents said they are very interested in their kids' schoolwork, the number falls to 75% when kids were asked if this is true of their parents. Similarly, 77% of parents said they help the kids with homework to help them...
...money. In 1973, Tom, sick of engineering for major corporations, quit his job and opened a do-it-yourself garage with his tinkering younger sibling, then a frustrated high school teacher. A few years later they were invited to be on a panel of mechanics on a local radio program; they soon had their own show. The brothers have been offered lucrative deals on commercial radio stations but turned them down because they seemed like a lot more work. "Most people have overestimated how much money they need and have miscalculated the work-to-play ratio," says Ray. "Except...
