Automation Studio is a design, animation and simulation software tool. It was created for the automation industry, specifically to fulfill engineering, training, and testing requirements. The workshops associated with the software reflect the prevailing usage in the industry as closely as is possible. The simulation utility makes Automation Studio an efficient tool for the certification of automated processes and programs.
In the Automation Studio environment, all the design tools are readily accessible. The core system contains three utilities: a Diagram Editor, a Project Explorer, and a Library Explorer. The Diagram Editor allows you to generate and simulate diagrams and create reports, while the Project Explorer handles file management and the classification of all documents associated with a simulation project. The Library Explorer supplies the symbols libraries necessary for the creation of the diagrams that make up your projects.
Finally, this software allows you to document your project. You can print and export your diagrams along with the various associated lists and reports to assemble a complete work file.

ScienceDaily (2008-08-21) -- The field of particle physics is poised to enter unknown territory with the startup of a massive new accelerator -- the Large Hadron Collider -- in Europe this summer. On Sept. 10, LHC scientists will attempt to send the first beam of protons speeding around the accelerator.
I love these flash UI's

Slashdot | Judge Rules Man Cannot Be Forced To Decrypt HD
I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "In Vermont, US Magistrate Judge Jerome Niedermeier has ruled that forcing someone to divulge the password to decrypt their hard drive violates the 5th Amendment. Border guards testify that they saw child pornography on the defendant's laptop when the PC was on, but they made the mistake of turning it off and were unable to access it again because the drive was protected by PGP. Although prosecutors offered many ways to get around the 5th Amendment protections, the Judge would have none of that and quashed the grand jury subpoena requesting the defendant's PGP passphrase. A conviction is still likely because prosecutors have the testimony of the two border guards who saw the drive while it was open." The article stresses the potential importance of this ruling (which was issued last November but went unnoticed until now): "Especially if this ruling is appealed, US v. Boucher could become a landmark case. The question of whether a criminal defendant can be legally compelled to cough up his encryption passphrase remains an unsettled one, with law review articles for the last decade arguing the merits of either approach."

This is for april, but it's a PC app
Periodic Table 4.2
This multifunctional periodic table is an excellent tool for both students and serious researchers. It has over 20 types of data on each element and all known isotopes in customizable, user-expandable tables. All sixteen numeric data types (plus any user-added data) can be corelated in particle or line graphs. Includes a powerful chemical equation balancer that can solve the most complex organic reactions and calculate molecular weights and amounts of reagents.
* Complete data on the chemical elements of the Periodic Table including atomic mass, ionization potentials, electroconductivity, electronegativity, density, place and time of discovery (more then 20 various data types for each element).
* Provides information on more than 890 isotopes of the 111 elements, including natural abundance, half-life and decay mode.
* Balances the most complicated chemical equations.
* You can add numerical and/or text information on each chemical element and have it represented in tables and/or displayed in particle or line graphs.
* Displays graphs of any two of the supplied categories of numerical data on each element (can also graph user-entered numerical data).
* Displays the Periodic Table of Elements in all of the standard configurations using customizable styles and colour schemes.
* Determines the oxidation degree of each element in compound.
* Organizes and displays the complete series of chemical activity of metals.
* Converts temperature from one scale to another.
* Automatic checking of the reaction equation.

How to use tinydb.org
how to use
write a DB entry
Make a POST or GET request to http://tinydb.org/_write.
write GET example:
http://tinydb.org/_write?this=is so simple&i=will use this a lot
You can make as many variables as you in your POST or GET request.
the only special field that is always created is \"url\"
the _url parameter is so when people click your link on a web page, they can go to an actual site rather than seeing your data.
the _url paramater must be in the format http://www.url.com or http://url.com after submitting your request, we will return a unique short url you can use to access your data ( tinydb.org/c )
If your _url parameter contains the string __tinydb_id__ , this string will be replaced with your new tinydb id. Eg, setting the _url param to http://kortina.net?tinydb_id=__tinydb_id__ will create a tinydb record that redirects to http://kortina.net?tinydb_id=19f (or whatever the tinydb id you create is)
read a DB entry
Call a url. If you want the data returned in a certain format add ?_f=json to your request. The current formats are:
* _f = json - returns a json object containing your data
* _f = jsonp - returns a json object but in javascript, that is fed directly into a callback function, tinydbCallback, to be called once the script is loaded. use your own callback with ( &_c=callback )
* _f = js - returns a json object but in javascript, with an optional callback function ( &_c=callback ) to be called once the script is loaded
* _f = xml - returns your data in XML
- these also work on the _write call, allowing your app to get the id back in a friendly format.
- the default format for read is HTML, so if you provide no _f parameter, you will recieve html
- the default format for write is plaintext, so if you provide no _f parameter, you will recieve a plaintext url for your tinydb data
read examples:
http://tinydb.org/c
http://tinydb.org/d?_f=js&_c=callwhendone
http://tinydb.org/e?_f=json
http://tinydb.org/e?_f=xml
*** Note: It should be assumed that any data stored in tinydb is not secure and can be accessed by anyone.
read and write multiple rows
To create an entry with multiple rows add the _i parameter to your first write call (i.e. http://tinydb.org/_write?_i&name=jane&comment=first row). This will basically your first entry be your parent_id. So additional writes to this should contain the id as the _i variable returned on the first write. (i.e. http://tinydb.org/_write?_i=Qw&name=joe&comment=another row).
To return a list of the rows just call the original id with the _i=true as a parameter (i.e. http://tinydb.org/Qw?_f=xml&_i=true )
Remember you can create rows, but not edit them - you can see a sample of this here.
FLASH DEVELOPERS: There is a bug with google app crossdomain.xml file -- so to get the proper unrestricted crossdomain.xml you must use the appspot.com domain which in our case is tinydborg2.appspot.com (i.e. http://tinydborg2.appspot.com/Qw?_i=true&_f=xml).
