...demanding as this swarm of unofficial chores is in McComb, it is far tougher in districts where one nurse is responsible for up to several thousand students, sometimes spread throughout as many as 10 buildings. That kind of work load is typical in Illinois, where the state school-nursing association lobbied unsuccessfully for tobacco-settlement money to go toward hiring nurses. In such cases schools rely on lunchroom supervisors and secretarial staff for basic first aid and call 911 for anything more complicated, says Phyllis Pelt, director of the school-nurse certification program at the University of Illinois at Chicago...
...Kodak's mc3, a digital camera that takes pictures, records video and plays back up to 1 1/2 hours' worth of music in the MP3 format. The mc3 will retail for $299 and will be available in mid-March. Also on display was a nifty thing called (e)film. Load this electronic film into (most) old-fashioned 35-mm cameras and--click--take digital pictures...
...next to you at the pub, the story about the guy who owns the chipper down the streetyou know, Joe and Frank's dad. There's a smell of whiskey in the air and you're sure the bloke staring you in the face is telling you the biggest load of bollocks this side of Cork, but you can't help but listen.

In his pre-i-mode days, he would deliver a load of pipes from Tokyo to Nagoya and then return empty. But a year ago, his boss launched a site for i-mode that brokers deals between drivers and cargo companies. One night, Hakuta logged on and found a client needing pipes trucked the other way, back to Tokyo. That load earned Hakuta an extra $230. "It's changed the way I work," Hakuta says. The only problem...
...country. Much like its Web predecessors, the Dancing Baby and the "I kiss you!" home page of Turkish journalist Mahir, All Your Base spread from office to office via e-mail like a benign virus. As a slide show rather than bandwidth-hogging video, it takes seconds to load (on such websites as thefever.com/AYB2.swf) Much of the spreading was being done last week by dotcom workers in San Francisco and the Silicon Valley, where good laughs are in short supply these days. But the inside joke may not be inside much longer: All Your Base T shirts...
