Medical / Biology has it's own author order convention. First author is generally the person that did the most work/research on the publication. Last author is the person who managed it. Second author is generally the primary grunt of work. After that is anyone else that contributed / edited, often in order of amount contributed.

Source I worked at a research hospital for several years and actually managed to snag myself a second authorship on a project.

IMO the solution is to change it from charging the battery to swapping out the battery. The problem then is having a standardized battery configuration/connection and we all know how well standards go. The station can then charge for the electricity and expenses, including an amount to cover the occasional battery replacement.

Comment Re:7.1 million is pathetically low, so ya I believ (Score 1) 723

I don't know which numbers include children/dependents and which ones don't. That is an important bit of information. If the 60 million is individuals and the 7.1 million is plans, which is how it reads then the total coverage could be significantly higher. If it's the other way around then it is significantly worse.

Ya, it would be nice if there was a Amazon app for Android so I could watch it on my Nexus. We only got it for two reasons: free shipping (as we had just moved into our first house) and I had been gifted a Kindle 7 HD. Now we've also acquired a Nexus 10 and the only option to watch Prime videos is via the browser with flash enabled, which is a non-trivial task.
