- Connecting a battery across the front of the head can boost verbal skills, says a team from the US National Institutes of Health. A current of two thousandths of an ampere (a fraction of that needed to power a digital watch) applied for 20 minutes is enough to produce a significant improvement, according to data presented this week at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience, held in San Diego. And apart from an itchy sensation around the scalp electrode, subjects in the trials reported no side-effects. |

- Из состава избирательных комиссий четырех областей Украины в воскресенье исключены представители оппозиционных кандидатов, сказал РИА "Новости" представитель штаба блока Виктора Ющенко "Наша Украина". По словам представителя штаба, в Кировоградской, Одесской, Днепропетровской и Донецкой областях представители Ющенко, коммунистов и социалистов исключены из состава комиссий. В Центризбиркоме Украины сказали, что пока не располагают информацией об исключении представителей кандидатов от оппозиции из состава избирательных комиссий. Сотрудник ЦИК Украины сказала РИА "Новости", что из состава территориальных избирательных комиссий ее члены могут быть выведены только по собственному заявлению или в связи с отзывом направившего их кандидата в президенты. По законодательству Украины, утвержденный состав избирательных комиссий запрещено изменять за сутки до выборов. |

- elhaf writes "There is an article running in the Chronicle on Higher Education about the new trend of creating political-message video games for the next round of campaigns. TechNews has commentary on the situation as well. The article mentions that there are actually a few available already, but they mainly just allow opposition-bashing. This is not, I think, to be confused with Serious games, even though both groups seem interested in health care policy." |

- Филиппинские дипломаты прибыли в столицу Афганистана с целью добиться освобождения филиппинца, похищенного на днях вместе с еще двумя сотрудниками ООН, передает РБК со ссылкой на Associated Press. Как сообщили официальные источники в Маниле, координировать усилия по освобождению заложника будет посол Филиппин в Пакистане. При этом дипломаты намерены работать в тесном сотрудничестве с ООН и афганскими властями. Между тем, пока не ясно, вышли ли представители ООН на контакт с похитителями. Филиппинский дипломат Анхелито Найан, гражданка Великобритании Аннетта Флэниган и выходец из Косово Скипе Хабиби были похищены 28 октября с. |

Next add the amazingly rare, a perfectly clear fog free night in San Francisco, as viewed from the cliffs overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. Then I set up my trusty Sony MiniDV camcorder and wide angle lens on a tripod and proceeded to freeze my butt off for 2 hours. Dump the video into Premier, accelerate it 200x to just 37 seconds, and the resulting video is IMHO simply stunning. |
