...since the movie - written by Drew Goddard, from an idea by producer J.J. Abrams, and directed by Matt Reeves - purports to be a video document "retrieved at an incident site formerly known as Central Park" (now known as U.S. 447), and is told exclusively from the point of view of a few twentysomethings. We know only what they know, see what the videocamera sees. I.e., not much...
...feels so good. The earliest fMRIs of brains in love were taken in 2000, and they revealed that the sensation of romance is processed in three areas.

For three long minutes, Hu Ziwei regaled an audience of thousands of Chinese and foreign reporters with tales of sports department head Zhang Bin's alleged infidelity, repeatedly asking, "If Chinese have no humane values to present to the world, what is the purpose of the Olympics after...
...Saturday afternoon in central Baghdad, Iraq's often raucous Parliament did something out of character. It voted to pass an actual piece of legislation. Just over half of the 275 members of Iraq's parliament voted in favor of a new de-Ba'athification law after months of obstruction by hard-line Shi'ites, effectively rolling back the previous order set by the American administration...
