Across the world, the participation of women and minorities in computer science is at an all-time low. According to studies conducted by the National Science Foundation, the annual graduation rate for women in computer science is just 22%, just 6.5% for Hispanic students, 4.8% for African American students, and under 1% for American Indian students. As part of our global effort to increase diversity in our industry, we have created scholarship programs with the United Negro College Fund, the Hispanic College Fund and the American Indian Science & Engineering Society. Each of these programs is meant to encourage students to excel in their studies and become active role models and leaders. It's our hope that these programs also help dismantle barriers that keep women and minorities from entering computing and technology fields. (Read more about Google's scholarship programs.)
Now comes the really fun part: announcing the 2008 winners. Please join us in congratulating the 42 students who have been recognized for their outstanding academic and leadership accomplishments in the computer science field. Each of these students will receive a $10,000 academic scholarship from Google, as well as an invitation to attend the all-expenses-paid Annual Google Scholars' Retreat held each Spring at the Googleplex in Mountain View.
Earlier this year, we also had the great pleasure of announcing the winners of the 2008 Google Anita Borg Scholarship in the U.S. and Canada as well as in Europe. (This scholarship is also offered to women in Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East.)
Congrats to all!

How To Make Love Like A Porn Star
Jameson's memoir is many things at once: a shocking sexual history, an insider's guide to the secret workings of the billion-dollar adult-film industry, and a gripping thriller that probes deep into Jenna's dark past. [ReaganBooks]
Make Love Not War
You know what I thought when I watched Terminator? Why can't these giant killer robots just put down their weapons and have sex with each other? Well looks like I wasn't the only person who thought that, because somebody actually went and actually put this together. Check out the entire Flickr gallery here. Possibly NSFW, depending on your office's stance on killer robot sex.
Lets make love.....
Not quite sure if these are Small White, Large White,
Green-veined White, or Dark-veined White...only sure thing is they are having a jump

Hi Colin
Green-veined, I would say. I think that I read that second brood tends to have stronger colouration on the veins. Was the background much darker, it has that kind of grainyness that I get when I pull up a really dark patch. PS I like the dof on the droopy devils bit head.
