...paper just published in PLoS ONE - a journal of the Public Library of Science - a team led by psychiatrist Gregory Berns of Emory University in Atlanta shows that adolescents who engage in more dangerous activities have white-matter pathways that appear more mature than those of risk-averse youths. White matter is essentially the brain's wiring - the neural strands that connect the various gray-matter regions, where the actual nerve cells reside, that are otherwise independent of one another. Maturation of white matter is important because it increases the brain's processing speed; nerve impulses travel faster in mature...
...there were such a thing as evangelical royalty, Anne Graham Lotz would be the crown princess. Billy Graham's daughter is an author and preacher who has led revivals for tens of thousands of people around the globe. But having a recognizable last name doesn't mean she always feels comfortable in church.

At the moment, he and his team are wary of ascribing meaning to the signs - an act of conjecture, he says, that has led other Indus Valley experts in the past...

Kirby. “Quite by accident,” Szonyi became interested in the Quemoy archipelago, which was a point of conflict between the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan during the Cold War. This confrontation almost led the United States to use nuclear force against China on two separate occasions. Szonyi is currently working on a book that compares villagers’ perspectives in Quemoy with villagers in mainland China who live in the area across from the islands. His most recent trip to China yielded interviews with villagers...
