How to set up Eclipse
Interesting page layout and concept. Really it covers ant, apache, svn, and junit as a package before installing eclipse.
I have not attempted to follow it, but the concept alone is valuable. The page is divided into three columns:
--summary & download
--installation tips
--background
Very cool.

So Big and Healthy Grandpa Wouldn’t Even Know You - New York Times
So Big and Healthy Grandpa Wouldn’t Even Know You - New York Times: "By GINA KOLATA
Valentin Keller enlisted in an all-German unit of the Union Army in Hamilton, Ohio, in 1862. He was 26, a small, slender man, 5 feet 4 inches tall, who had just become a naturalized citizen. He listed his occupation as tailor.
A year later, Keller was honorably discharged, sick and broken. He had a lung ailment and was so crippled from arthritis in his hips that he could barely walk.
His pension record tells of his suffering. “His rheumatism is so that he is unable to walk without the aid of crutches and then only with great pain,” it says. His lungs and his joints never got better, and Keller never worked again.
He died at age 41 of “dropsy,” which probably meant that he had congestive heart failure, a condition not associated with his time in the Army. His 39-year-old wife, Otilia, died a month before him of what her death certificate said was “exhaustion.”
People of Valentin Keller’s era, like those before and after them, expected to develop chronic diseases by their 40’s or 50’s. Keller’s descendants had lung problems, they had heart problems, they had liver problems. They died in their 50’s or 60’s.
Now, though, life has changed. The family’s baby boomers are reaching middle age and beyond and are doing fine.
“I feel good,” says Keller’s great-great-great-grandson Craig Keller. At 45, Mr. Keller says he has no health problems, nor does his 45-year-old wife, Sandy.
"
Full of amazing information -- especially that on the civil war generation and the 1918 influenza survivors.

MIT researchers watch brain in action - MIT News Office
MIT researchers watch brain in action - MIT News Office:
"...an unprecedented look into how genes shape the brain in response to the environment. Their work is reported in the July 28 issue of Cell.
'This work represents a technological breakthrough,' said first author Kuan Hong Wang, a research scientist at the Picower Institute who will launch his own laboratory at the National Institute of Mental Health in the fall. 'This is the first study that demonstrates the ability to directly visualize the molecular activity of individual neurons in the brain of live animals at a single-cell resolution, and to observe the changes in the activity in the same neurons in response to the changes of the environment on a daily basis for a week.'"

Gianni Milanesi’s Weblog � AjaxWp - An AJAX enhancement for WordPress blogs: "AjaxWp is a lightweight JavaScript enhancement that adds AJAX functionality to WordPress blogs speeding up load times, increasing the responsiveness of the user interface and giving the blog an overall cooler look.
Out of the box AjaxWp requires minimal configuration and no additional markup, other than the script inclusions in the header file and a support PHP file. This allows AjaxWp to degrade gracefully and leave the blog fully functional even for users with JavaScript disabled."

Google Web Toolkit get GUI / RPC IDE
Thanks to Ed Burnett, we know it will be out tomorrow.
Evidently it integrates with the eclipse Web Tools as well. Looks like it hides most of the nasty stuff and allows one to work at an object level w/o worrying about distribution, etc.
