Rice Offers Free Tuition
An excerpt from CNN -
Rice University to offer free tuition to low-income and middle-income undergraduate students
By Gisela Crespo
Rice University will award scholarships that will cover the cost of tuition to students from low-income and middle-income families starting next fall, the school announced Tuesday.
Under an initiative called The Rice Investment, US students seeking an undergraduate degree with family incomes under $130,000 will not pay tuition. Those with family incomes below $65,000 will also receive grant aid to cover school fees and room and board.
Students with family incomes between $130,000 and $200,000 will be eligible to receive scholarships that will cover at least half of their tuition. The plan will impact continuing students who are eligible based on need.

How Pedialyte got Pedialit
Inside Pedialyte’s journey from toddler flu remedy to hangover fix.
By Kaitlyn Tiffany
In May 2015, Pedialyte announced that it would target the hangover market — or rather, a subset of the adult market made up of people who engage in what the brand refers to as “occasional alcohol consumption.” The market was already there — Abbott said adult sales of Pedialyte were up 57 percent since 2012, accounting for a full third of total sales; the company was just deciding to go after it officially.
Abbott’s senior brand manager Eric Ryan tells me the decision to woo adults was simple: “The beauty of the product is that the benefits haven’t changed — Pedialyte is still a medical-grade hydration solution backed by advanced science. We don’t endorse heavy drinking or claim to cure hangovers, but our users find confidence in having a trusted rehydration solution that works.”
People had been tweeting about using Pedialyte as a hangover remedy since at least 2009. (Although back then, you could also find lots of people talking about rehydrating kittens and puppies. It was a different time online.) Some of these people were famous, including Carson Daly, Diplo, and a slew of college football players.

Getting Rich Dumpster Diving
An excerpt from Wired -
THE PRO DUMPSTER DIVER WHO'S MAKING THOUSANDS OFF AMERICA'S BIGGEST RETAILERS
BY DAY, MATT Malone is a security specialist for Slait Consulting. By night, he earns even bigger money as a dumpster diver.
He’s not diving in just any dumpster. By targeting electronics stores, like Office Depot or Best Buy, he makes away with like-new vacuums, computers, surveillance systems—you name it. If he pursued this secondary career full-time, Malone estimates he’d make more than $250,000 a year.
Although he doesn’t object to the term “dumpster diving,” Malone prefers the term “for-profit archaeologist.” One man’s trash is this man’s treasure—because we’re conditioned to see it that way. “We can only do what we do here because we live in a society where most people have been conditioned to look past what’s right in front of them,” says Malone.

Stanford Children's Health - Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford
about 3 weeks ago
A chance encounter at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford has led to a heart-warming reunion between nurse and patient. Brandon, one of our pediatric residents, was born 28 years ago in our NICU--then just 29 weeks old. Vilma was his primary care nurse. Fast forward nearly 30 years, and Vilma recognized Brandon’s name while he was rounding at our hospital. What a memory! Here’s a special look at them both then and now. #WaybackWednesday
