prefuse | interactive information visualization toolkit Use 5 or More Social Networks? You're a Better Employee Hey, bosses who block employees from using social media at work: You're doing it wrong. That's one conclusion that can be drawn from new data on the workplace by Evolv, a startup that monitors hundreds of metrics from Fortune 500 companies. Not only has Evolv determined that hourly employees who use social networks are more productive in general, but it seems the more social networks you use, the more productive you are. Hourly employees who regularly used up to four social networks — such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or LinkedIn — made more sales or handled customer service calls faster than those who weren't on any social networks. They also tend to stick around for longer (94 days of tenure with a company on average, compared to 83 days for those who shun social media). Those who use five social networks or more are slightly better at converting sales and handling customer service than employees on four or fewer networks, by 1.5% and 2.8% respectively.
AudioLiterate The 5 Best Plagiarism Detection Tools for Educators In a perfect world students would understand that education is for their benefit and put their all into every assignment.

d3.js Obama 'Limiting Press Access In Ways That Past Administrations Wouldn't Have Dared': AP WASHINGTON (AP) — A photo of the Obamas hugging that was released on Election Day 2012 has become the world's most popular tweet on Twitter. A dressed-up version of Barack Obama's State of the Union speech, packed with charts and graphs, is huge on YouTube. A playful picture of the president cavorting with a 3-year-old in a Spiderman costume is a favorite online. It's all courtesy of the Obama image machine, serving up a stream of words, images and videos that invariably cast the president as commanding, compassionate and on the ball. You'll have to look elsewhere for bloopers, bobbles or contrary points of view. Capitalizing on the possibilities of the digital age, the Obama White House is generating its own content like no president before, and refining its media strategies in the second term in hopes of telling a more compelling story than in the first. "Some of you have said that I'm ignoring the Washington press corps, that we're too controlling," Obama said.

Un adolescente inventa un nuevo método para detectar el cáncer de páncreas Jack Andraka, un adolescente estadounidense de 15 años nacido en Maryland y estudiante de primer año de preparatoria en North County, ha sido el ganador del concurso científico más importante del mundo a nivel de institutos, la Feria Internacional de Ciencia e Ingeniería (ISEF, por sus siglas en inglés), gracias a la elaboración de una prueba para detectar el cáncer de páncreas incipiente a partir del análisis de la sangre o de la orina de la persona, según informaron los organizadores del concurso en un comunicado. Según las conclusiones del estudio elaborado por este estudiante, el método es 28 veces más barato y rápido que las pruebas existentes en la actualidad. Posee una sensibilidad del 100% y detecta la enfermedad en el 90% de los casos. Además, a todas estas ventajas se le añade que no es invasivo, que no causa daño en las personas analizadas. El estudiante creó un simple sensor para evaluar la sangre o la orina del paciente y así determinar la presencia anormal de una proteína.
