http://controlc.com/ Ever copy but forget to paste? This free tool will prevent you from losing that material. The automated service monitors your
computer's clipboard and stores text and data that you've copied. The site encrypts clipboard content, so personal information
is safe when you hit Control-C (or Command-C if you're a Mac user). Users can also decrypt content and share it with others.

When the price of an item you purchased drops, retailers offering price protection policies will refund the difference. The
stores won't alert you of the savings, however, so you have to sift through the ads and retail sites yourself—or use Price
Protectr. The site tracks purchases and sends an e-mail alert if the price of something you bought drops. Visitors can also
monitor items they're thinking of buying from the site's 162 supported retailers.

Bicycle Diaries
David Byrne
As front man of Talking Heads, Byrne began riding a bicycle as primary transportation in New York City. The new-wave band
has since broken up, but Byrne has continued his passion for cycling. This book, a chronicle of the author's world travels
with a folding bike, discusses the liberation, exhilaration, and connection to the world that biking has offered. As he travels
to South America, Europe, and beyond, Byrne writes about the people he meets and the sites he views from his seat. His writing—like
his music—is a personal blend of humor and curiosity.
The When Diet: Mathematically Optimizing Eating and Exercise for Weight Loss
Todd Easton, PhD
This book doesn't delve into health and fitness like other dieting books do; instead, it looks at dieting as an engineer would
look at a system's inefficiency. That's because Easton isn't your typical dieting guru—he's a once-overweight professor of
industrial and manufacturing systems engineering. As his own test subject, he sought to maximize weight loss while minimizing
deprivation. In the process of the experimentation, Easton developed a mathematical proof and lost 30 pounds, which he has
kept off for five years.
Spirituality and Medicine: Can the Two Walk Together?
Glenda F. Hodges, PhD, JD, MDiv, and Harold B. Betton, MD, PhD
Hodges, the director of community relations at a university hospital, and Dr. Betton, a family practitioner and pastor, examine
the relationship between religion and science—and how it affects medicine—in this account of their professional and personal
experiences. The book includes a historical discussion on the spiritual aspects of medicine in major world religions, and
the authors present concepts of faith and prayer, as well as research on their effects. Also explored are burnout and abuse
in the healing professions, legal issues surrounding death and dying, and tools clinicians use to understand a patient's spiritual
side.
