The base
An
unpleasant chill down the spine as I read the editors' piece
"The Choice" in
The
New Yorker (November 1 edition, p. 37)
this morning.
It mentions that the Bush regime calls its staunch conservative
Christian
support community "the base". And they add in a parenthesis:
"(in English, not Arabic)".
Translating "the base" into Arabic gives us, of course,
al qa'eda. I think I might […]

Henry Gee ends his article on the new found Homo floresiensis with the above question.

The discovery of Homo floresiensis raises hopes for yeti hunters and, says Henry Gee, poses thorny questions about the uniqueness of Homo sapiens.

If
another species of humans existed so recently, perhaps […]

Optimization of goal-directed movements in the cerebellum: a random walk hypothesis

Harris presented a mathematic model for evolution
and optimization of motor planning. The optimization part is obvious,
and he made a good case in this article. The evolution sense is
unclear-in that there is not a clear analogy for natural selection.
Nonetheless, Harris' basic model should apply beyond motor learning.
It's the same idea behind Bob Siegler's […]

A great benefit of a true logographic orthography — traffic signs are
close but, alas, not quite there — is that everyone can read
regardless of the language s/he speaks. It pays unexpectedly. Bill

I first saw CapShare 920 in the CNet's review of a similar product,
DocuPen ($150). One review claims that the HP scanner is better than
the Planon one.
Its older sibling, the CapShare 910, though, was deemed by BusinessWeek to be a hands-down failure. The CapShare 920 was out in 2000.
Neither seem to be […]

A good illustration of why it's a bad idea to leave web (and interface)
design in the hands of computer geeks. Setting up a spam filter
involves a lot risk-benefit analyses, where one would expect the
webpage to provide accessible information to assist this process.
Neither "Spam-High" nor the explaination (Messages identified as
junkmail level "high.") […]

The HFSP started from the G7 summit in 87. The emphasis is on
international, interdisciplinary research on bioscience, including the
Brain Science. Psychology and Linguistics are different disciplinaries;
Japan (which pays half of the bill) and the US sounds like
international… and they do have a Young Investigator Grant… to be
or not to be?
