...countries losing their population, family-friendly policies that make it possible for women to work at the same time as bearing children might make a difference, he says. The lifting of restrictions on immigration for able workers could also help. "Countries like England, Ireland and Sweden, which are seeing population increases, have a relatively open labor market while Germany still makes it difficult for people to immigrate," says Kroehnert. In Britain, however, the projections have triggered calls for tighter immigration controls...
Newell's answer to the Science paper is called "Think, Blink or Sleep on It? The Impact of Modes of Thought on Complex Decision Making," co-authored with colleagues at the University of New South Wales and the University of Essex in England, and published in the most recent issue of the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology. It took four experiments to make the point, but Newell's conclusion is that unconscious deliberation is no more effective than conscious deliberation - using lists of pros vs. cons, for example - for making complex decisions, and that if anything, people who deliberate methodically...
...cautiously upbeat about its future. The show has been financed almost entirely by the British venues where it will tour after its Edinburgh opening; in return for investing, they will receive a guaranteed share of box office.

To bring Tim Burton's gothic coming-of-age film to the stage, New Adventures raised $2 million from investors, and Arts Council England put in a further $780,000. Scissorhands played British venues until the autumn of 2006, then took off for Korea, Japan and the U.S., where it toured until spring 2007. In May of this year, a revived version of the show traveled to Australia, launching a national tour at the Sydney Opera House. The company...
Most teachers expect to correct their students' spelling mistakes once in a while. But Ken Smith has had enough. The senior lecturer in criminology at Bucks New University in Buckinghamshire, England, sees so many misspellings in papers submitted by first-year students that he says we'd be better off letting the perpetrators off the hook and doing away with certain spelling rules altogether...
