While all color films have dyes printed directly onto the film stock, Kodachrome's dye isn't added until the development process. "The film itself is basically black and white," says Grant Steinle, vice president of operations at Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kans., the only photo-processing center still equipped to develop Kodachrome film. Steinle says that although all dyes will fade over time, if Kodachrome is stored properly it can be good for up to 100 years. The film's archival abilities, coupled with its comparative ease of use, made it the dominant film for both professionals...
Kodak quit the film-processing business in 1988 and slowly began to disengage from film-manufacturing. Super 8 went by the wayside in 2007. By 2008 Kodak was producing only one Kodachrome film run - a mile-long sheet cut into 20,000 rolls - a year, and the number of centers able to process it had declined precipitously. Today, Steinle's Kansas store processes all of Kodak's Kodachrome film - if you drop a roll off at your local Wal-Mart, it will be developed at Dwayne's Photo - and though it is the only center left in the world...
...thousands of different proteins, researchers narrowed the potential candidates by comparing the 12 samples to those from healthy children without appendicitis. "We analyzed the proteins to see which were statistically significant compared with [the controls], and this gave us a short list," explains Hanno Steen, director of the Proteomics Center at Children's and a co-author of the study. That short list, combined with other possible protein candidates identified in previous research on the subject, comprised 57 different possibilities. (See the top 10 medical breakthroughs...
...first sign of trouble came on June 18, when a report was released from the China Internet Illegal Information Reporting Center, a government agency, that accused Google of providing links to pornography. A story from the official Xinhua news agency soon followed alleging that an unnamed Google official had admitted that a "huge amount of porn and lewd information" had been disseminated via the search engine. The issue has also received a significant amount of news coverage on China Central Television (CCTV...
...country's Dear Leader has quietly launched an educational offensive to ramp up his country's computing skills and build an internationally competitive IT industry, moves that experts say have been strongly encouraged by Kim's oldest son, Jong Nam, who directs the Korea Computer Center. Grade-school kids are now drilled in Pascal and other computer languages, while gifted students are channeled into science and technology programs at Kim Il Sung University and Kim Chaek University, which some have dubbed the MIT of North Korea. Although currently stalled because of troubled bilateral relations with South Korea, another technical university...
