2. Cathode Ray Tube -- Electrons
   Cathode ray tubes were the primary electronic information display device for over half a century. Even today they remain dominant as the picture tube in television receivers. Moreover, much of the world continues to use them as computer monitors. The secret to their success is their amazing flexibility and their low cost. They can be made in almost any size, with screens ranging from .5 inches to 50 inches. They can display an immense amount of information per second.
3. Top Model 5
   America's Next Top Model Today is the big day. It's the day we've all been waiting for. Today is the day when Tyra Banks goes head to head against Martha Stewart. These two divas continue their quest for world domination with four, yes four, television shows between the two of them on the air in one day. They each have daytime talk shows on the air, and tonight they will have prime time reality shows on air at the same time. Thank goodness for DVR.
4. Zz Top -- Frank Beard
   Sometime around the Cretacious period, ZZ Top and their family moved to Bedrock, a then thriving location that had a strong rock and roll scene which greatly influenced the would be superstars. Frank Beard, the drummer managed to get a job at a local Bronto Burger while Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill formed a band with their first drummer Pebbles called The Flaming Titties. While they achieved some local sucess and gained somewhat of a cult following in Bedrock, the band realized that something wasn't right. Their gut feelings turned true when the late Pebbles OD'd on heroin the next day. She died at age 3 1/2. While this was a sad time, this gave Frank Beard a chance to drum for what would become ZZ Top.

7. Eric Schmidt -- Miscellaneous
   "It is not some product you can just build and leave alone," Schmidt said. Protecting copyrighted material is likely to involve an endless cat-and-mouse game to keep pace with hackers bent on breaking such security tools.
8. Paint Shop Pro -- Open Psp
   After you unzip the files you need to get them into Paint Shop Pro. Open PSP. Do a File, Open and select the .tub file you just unzipped. From here you can rename the tube if you like. Be sure to fill in the Cells Across and Cells Down info. Your .ctl file will be updated with your new tube.
9. Polymerase Chain Reaction -- Cycles
   Taq polymerase, the key ingredient for a polymerase chain reaction, is extracted from a deep-sea, thermal vent-dwelling bacterium, Thermus aquaticus. It works well for copying, but not perfectly, making an error about once every 8 million base pairs. Before Taq polymerase, other polymerases were used, but many of them broke down at the necessary temperatures for the reaction to commence. The heating cycle is complicated, but includes temperatures briefly ranging almost all the way to the boiling point, so durability in the polymerase is essential.
10. Anencephaly -- Brains
    Anencephaly is a distressing condition of infants whose brains have failed to develop during gestation beyond a very rudimentary stage. Although this condition is relatively rare, recent medical advances raise serious questions about the care of such children: Are infants with anencephaly persons? Were they never persons? If once they were, are they now "brain-dead"?1 Even if they are persons with human rights, may they not be prematurely delivered in order better to insure the rights of their mothers, since at best their lives will be very brief? Since they will soon die, may their organs be removed before death so as to be in their best condition for transplantation to save another's life? Because these urgent questions involve important ethical principles whose erosion in medical practice can have wide consequences, the U.S. National Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Doctrine has issued the concise statement, Moral Principles Concerning Infants with Anencephaly.
