    @CJ: Kudos to your new logo. Anyway, just read a rant on ChemBark's blog about inane chemistry stock photos/clip art. What's your opinion about this jem from ACIE Early View?

    There is also a long term impact on the high unemployment rate, almost 20% of children in America are living in poverty.

    The economy needs to have jobs growing at this rate for awhile for a recovery to be certain.

    A10:45a: You know, for some reason I don't find it very offensive. I find it cutesy, as opposed to the "mad chemist" cartoons that you can find, which I find really irritating.

    Funny how that works -- I think it's the dot eyes and stuff.
