- Researchers have identified a circuit in the brain that appears crucial in converting short-term memories into long-term memories. The circuit links the major learning-related area of the brain to another region that governs the brain's higher functions. The studies may open the way for eavesdropping on one of the central processes in learning and memory. According to the lead researcher, the finding sheds light on a central question in learning and memory research that concerns the roles of two brain structures, the hippocampus, which is involved in memory formation, and the neocortex, which is associated with higher brain functions. |

- It was only after I had been in Baghdad for a month that I found what I was looking for. I had traveled to Iraq a year after the war began, at the height of what should have been a construction boom, but after weeks of searching I had not seen a single piece of heavy machinery apart from tanks and humvees. Then I saw it: a construction crane. It was big and yellow and impressive, and when I caught a glimpse of it around a corner in a busy shopping district I thought that I was finally about to witness some of the reconstruction I had heard so much about. |

- All of the worst distortions of the issue of domestic violence are still out there. Even the hoary old chestnuts like the Super Bowl hoax and the “rule of thumb” sham are still quoted as gospel by those who’ve never heard any different explanation. The 95% myth and the pure hokum of “a woman is battered every nine seconds” are also alive and well, sometimes even quoted by people like public officials who should know better. The issue of domestic violence has become the proverbial political football. I’ve been on the mailing list of AZCADV and one other of the major groups for some time now, and there has never been one word from either about improving services to more effectively serve their communities. |

- Michael Badnarik will be attempting to debate Kerry and Bush in Saint Louis this evening, or going to jail trying. I think we all know how that's gonna turn out, but to be honest, I'd love to see him take part. I'd even love to see Cobb take part, or anyone besides the two "biggies". It'd be good for democracy to turn debates back into debates, rather than the joint press conferences that they've become. Also, apparently Cobb will also be doing the "Debate or Get Arrested Trying" thing this evening. |
