- I have commited to SVN an improvement to the caching system of MTIcon. Now it uses MT::PluginData for storage, which is a table in the MT system designed for plugins to store their own data. Also, now it also caches unsuccesful icon retrievals, which means that every URL will only be scanned once trying to find a shortcut reference. Even if it is not found, MTIcon will remember the URL and never ask for it again, unless you delete the specific row pointing to that URL (is very easy to spot if you need to) in the mt_plugindata table. |

- Article at About Mental Health - "Research reveals for the first time the biological mechanism that the brain uses to block unwanted memories. The study, published in the journal Science, demonstrates how unpleasant memories can be repressed. Psychology Professor John Gabrieli, a co-author of the study, is quoted in a Stanford University press release as stating 'The big news is that we've shown how the human brain blocks an unwanted memory, that there is such a mechanism and it has a biological basis. It gets you past the possibility that there's nothing in the brain that would suppress a memory – |

- Jef Raskin, one of the inventors of the original Macintosh interface, has a new interface project called The Humane Interface. The goal of his new interface is to take the discoveries of the past twenty years of cognitive psychology and re-invent the computer to human interface. The goal is to make an interface more intuitive than the normal GUI interface and more powerful than the command line. The site also links to many other pieces of interest by Jef Raskin, including his lectures, books, and projects.... |

- Story at Maine Today on demand for space at Maine's homeless shelters - "...Mary Ann Gleason, president of the Maine Coalition to End Homelessness and executive director of the York County Initiative to End Homelessness, said the demand for shelter beds across the state and the nation has skyrocketed. The rise in demand comes in part because federal programs that built low-income housing in the mid-1980s were eliminated and because federal rent subsidies have failed to keep up with growing demand." |

Ephedra Ban (Jan 12 2004 13:55 GMT) - The FDA recently banned Ephedra due to a report which documented 2 deaths, 4 heart attacks, 9 strokes and a seizure related to its use. On average, around 230 male babies die each year from circumcision but the government doesn't bother to ban the practice even though there is no medical necessity for the procedure. Each year nearly 3 million people die from tobacco-related diseases but the FDA allows continued sale and consumption of it. If you eliminated the cases where people exceeded recommended dosages, contraindications and general abuse there would effectively be zero Ephedra-related deaths. Seems to me that the government should spend their time & money on something more signficant. |

- A black activist writes: "In a fashion quite the opposite of Dr. King -- who challenged an unjust nation to return to the principles and traditions from which it had strayed -- gay political operatives work to re-write our traditions to suit their own proclivities. They say their struggle is about equality, but it's really about the exercise of political power and claims for entitlement." (... |
