Man creates font designed to help dyslexics read
Lindsay Deutsch, USA TODAY Network 1:39 p.m. PST November 13, 2014
A font created by a dyslexic designer could potentially bring relief to the up to 20% of the U.S. population who experience symptoms of dyslexia.
The typeface, called Dyslexie, better distinguishes letters that are often confused by dyslexics and slows them down while reading.
The Mayo Clinic defines dyslexia as "a learning disorder characterized by difficulty reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words."

To honor his mother, the late Mary Gates, Microsoft Chairman and CEO William Gates III will contribute $10 million to the University, the UW announced May 5. The gift will establish the Mary Gates Endowment for Students, income from which will support outstanding undergraduate students. Mary Gates served on the University's Board of Regents for 18 years (1975-93).
"My mother championed the efforts of the University to enhance undergraduate education," said Bill Gates. "Melinda and I are pleased to make this gift in her honor and in support of an objective that was very important to her."
The old Physics Building was renamed Mary Gates Hall May 19 to honor the late regent and UW alumna.

Gates' $10 Million To UW Honors Mom
By Marsha King, Michele Matassa Flores
Seattle Times Staff: Seattle Times News Services
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has donated $10 million to the University of Washington in honor of his late mother, the UW said today.
The gift will establish the Mary Gates Endowment for Students to support outstanding undergraduate students. Mary Gates, who died last June, was a 1950 UW graduate and served on the university's Board of Regents from 1975 to 1993.
"I decided I wanted to do something significant in my mother's name soon after she passed away," Gates said. "I thought the university would be a good choice. She put an immense amount of time into that and believed in its importance."
Income from the endowment will be used to extend students' education beyond the classroom, said Fred Campbell, vice provost and dean of undergraduate education. It will support scholarships, internships and mentoring programs for work with faculty and community leaders.
That might mean a student takes on a special biology project with a faculty member or devotes time each week to community service.
The endowment also will fund "Venture Scholarships" to students most capable of carrying out independent work. Examples might include writing an opera, or traveling to do research.
While some money will be reserved for the best and brightest, much will be spread throughout the student body, giving any student the chance to apply.
University officials said regents will be asked at a May 19 meeting to name a campus building Mary Gates Hall. The building formerly housed the physics department but is to be renovated and expanded as a center for undergraduate education.
The university approached the Gates family with the idea of an undergraduate endowment about two months ago, when it became apparent that a new name would be needed for the old building.
Gates donated $12 million in October 1991 to establish a UW department of molecular biotechnology. Paul Allen, another Microsoft millionaire, donated $11.9 million in 1988 for the Kenneth S. Allen Library in honor of his father.

He slept on the Brattleboro Municipal Common that evening, under the partial shelter of the bandshell. He turned in as soon as it was dark, and fell asleep instantly. Some sound woke him with a jerk a time later. He looked at his watch. The thin radium lines on the dial scratched out eleven-twenty. He got up on one elbow and stared into the darkness, feeling the bandshell huge around him, missing the little tent that had held in body heat. What a fine little canvas womb it had been!
If there had been a sound, it was gone now; even the crickets had fallen silent.

FORD: Why can't we use our generators to get the weapons systems of Atlantis working?
ZELENKA: Because those systems were designed to be powered by the Zero Point Module -- and the satellite isn't.
SHEPPARD: And you think it's powerful enough to take out a Wraith hive ship?
McKAY: According to the Ancient database, it should be able to take out all three when fully charged. Keep in mind that the Ancient technology was far superior -- they only lost the war because they were vastly outnumbered.

Christmas Broadcast 2006
I have lived long enough to know that things never remain quite the same for very long. One of the things that has not changed all that much for me is the celebration of Christmas. It remains a time when I try to put aside the anxieties of the moment and remember that Christ was born to bring peace and tolerance to a troubled world.
The birth of Jesus naturally turns our thoughts to all new-born children and what the future holds for them. The birth of a baby brings great happiness - but then the business of growing up begins. It is a process that starts within the protection and care of parents and other members of the family - including the older generation. As with any team, there is strength in combination: what grandparent has not wished for the best possible upbringing for their grandchildren or felt an enormous sense of pride at their achievements?
But the pressures of modern life sometimes seem to be weakening the links which have traditionally kept us together as families and communities. As children grow up and develop their own sense of confidence and independence in the ever-changing technological environment, there is always the danger of a real divide opening up between young and old, based on unfamiliarity, ignorance or misunderstanding.
It is worth bearing in mind that all of our faith communities encourage the bridging of that divide. The wisdom and experience of the great religions point to the need to nurture and guide the young, and to encourage respect for the elderly. Christ himself told his disciples to let the children come to him, and Saint Paul reminded parents to be gentle with their children, and children to appreciate their parents. The scriptures and traditions of the other faiths enshrine the same fundamental guidance. It is very easy to concentrate on the differences between the religious fai² €and to forget what they have in common - people of different faiths are bound together by the need to help the younger generation to become considerate and active citizens.
And there is another cause for hope that we can do better in the future at bridging the generation gap. As older people remain more active for longer, the opportunities to look for new ways to bring young and old together are multiplying.
As I look back on these past twelve months, marked in particular for me by the very generous response to my eightieth birthday, I especially value the opportunities I have had to meet young people. I am impressed by their energy and vitality, and by their ambition to learn and to travel.
It makes me wonder what contribution older people can make to help them realise their ambitions. I am reminded of a lady of about my age who was asked by an earnest, little grand-daughter the other day "Granny, can you remember the Stone Age?" Whilst that may be going a bit far, the older generation are able to give a sense of context as well as the wisdom of experience which can be invaluable. Such advice and comfort are probably needed more often than younger people admit or older people recognise. I hope that this is something that all of us, young or old, can reflect on at this special time of year.
For Christians, Christmas marks the birth of our Saviour, but it is also a wonderful occasion to bring the generations together in a shared festival of peace, tolerance and goodwill.
I wish you all a very happy Christmas together.
