...visually logical way for users to get at all their information easily. Vista is creeping in that direction, with improved search functions and nicely built-in music and photo organizers - you can actually "tag" photos with keywords, which is very handy. Useful widgets like clocks and photo albums cluster happily at the edge of the screen like attentive waiters, happy to serve...
...BRAIN CAN BE TRACKED NOT JUST IN SPACE but also in time. Neuroscientists have long known that consciousness depends on certain frequencies of oscillation in the electroencephalograph (EEG). These brain waves consist of loops of activation between the cortex (the wrinkled surface of the brain) and the thalamus (the cluster of hubs at the center that serve as input-output relay stations). Large, slow, regular waves signal a coma, anesthesia or a dreamless sleep; smaller, faster, spikier ones correspond to being awake and alert. These waves are not like the useless hum from a noisy appliance but may allow consciousness...
...recent years. Close ties to the booming mainland continue to drive the economy, which grew 8.6% in 2004 and 7.3% in 2005. For 2006, the final figure is expected to be 6.5%. That success is partly due to the fact that Hong Kong is home to a cluster of firms such as Li & Fung, which help orchestrate the production and flow of goods supplied by factories in the developing world to multinational retailers. Hong Kong, says Dennis Cicetti, group managing director of product-sourcing firm William E. Connor & Associates, is "the command and control center" for much of world trade...
...time we reach adulthood we are pretty much stuck with what we have. Yes, it can create (and lose) synapses, the connections between neurons that encode memories and learning. And it can suffer injury and degeneration. But this view held that if genes and development dictate that one cluster of neurons will process signals from the eye and another cluster will move the fingers of the right hand, then they'll do that and nothing else until the day you die. There was good reason for lavishly illustrated brain books to show the function, size and location of the brain...
...Rick Perry, has urged his fellow board members of the Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers Association to press political leaders for more study, but to no avail. More changes are ahead for the state's rural areas. Plans have been approved to develop Competitive Renewable Energy Zones that will cluster new and upgraded transmission lines near wind farms, a $10 billion cost that will be passed on to ratepayers...
