...hybrid court, which includes national and international judges and elements of international and domestic law, took years to hammer out, and on more than one occasion had many believing that the tribunal would never take place. Recent research conducted by the Human Rights Center at the University of California, Berkeley, found that of 1,000 Cambodians interviewed, fewer than one in 10 knew that five regime suspects have been awaiting trial. And only 3.3% of respondents could name the court's five detainees: Duch, former Khmer Rouge foreign minister Ieng Sary, Sary's wife, former social affairs minister Ieng Thirith...
...state that once drew people from all over the world to create Silicon Valley, Hollywood and Berkeley's free-speech movement now sees too many of its best residents leave. To stop that, Newsom hopes to borrow a page from Barack Obama's presidential campaign. On the floor of the Democratic National Convention last summer, Newsom told TIME that he hoped to run in 2010 - but first he wanted to see if voters would embrace Obama's campaign focus on youth and generational change. "I think we've had an answer to that, back in November," Newsom said. "Youthfulness...
...determine just how easily an all-hat-no-cattle leader can take control of employees, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, devised a pair of tests. Cameron Anderson, an associate professor of organizational behavior and industrial relations, along with doctoral candidate Gavin Kilduff, recruited a group of 68 graduate students and divided them into four-person teams. To eliminate the wild card of gender, the teams were either all-male or all-female. Each group was given the task of organizing an imaginary nonprofit environmental organization; the group that did best - as determined by the researchers - would...
Physics and magic aren't often mistaken, but increasingly, physicists themselves seem to be trying to change that. Last year, a team at the University of California, Berkeley, announced that it had developed materials that could lead to an invisibility cloak. Last month, a group of researchers at Harvard University and the National Institutes of Health reported that it had accomplished something not unlike levitation, causing a microscopic sphere of gold to rise above a glass surface. Now, according to a paper published in the Jan. 23 issue of Science, a team of scientists from the Joint Quantum Institute...
...cards and home values, got us into this situation. And there's evidence that certain so-called negative emotions can help us get out of it. In his new book, Born to Be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life, esteemed psychologist Dacher Keltner of the University of California, Berkeley, notes that we usually conceive of emotions as diseases: we say we are "mad with rage," for instance, or "sick with love." We think the ideal economic decision maker is an analytical automaton. But Keltner, who has made a career of studying the social effects of our emotions, says emotional...
