...bigger picture, of course, such resolutions are mostly harmless international name-calling - Beijing was never going to mimic the histrionics of Havana, which held mass official demonstrations Wednesday against criticism by the U.N. commission - but the vote may be a bellwether of international sentiment on China. Washington's failure to rouse a majority for castigating China suggests that the international community is increasingly unwilling to manage its relationship with Beijing through the prism of U.S. concerns, and that gives China plenty of room to maneuver. Even Washington's closest international ally, Israel, has rebuffed U.S. efforts to stop it from...
...about any DNA recipe and read off a passable 3-D interpretation of the animal it would create. After a massive amount of digital trial and error, the nerds reckon they have a recipe for a creature that would closely resemble a small, running dinosaur like Struthiomimus ("the ostrich mimic"). The rest is as easy as Dolly the sheep: call up a company that can synthesize the genome, stick it into an enucleated ostrich ovum, implant the same in an ostrich and sit back to watch...

The digital scenes are jarring (part Blair Witch Project, part 1981-era Duran Duran video), but Levinson says they mimic the "voyeuristic kind of approach" of shows like Cops.

Which may be why the artificial odor detectors that engineers have been building since the 1950s to try to mimic the olfactory abilities of our built-in sensors have taken so long to find their way to the market--and then, in most cases, have flopped...
...Cornell have fought some monstrous battles on the ice, part of the attraction of the renewal of this rivalry is the participation of the crowd. From senior defenseman Mark Moore (and brothers Steve and Dominic) hearing the chants of "Moore-on" to senior netminder J.R. Prestifilippo watching the crowd mimic every single move he makes before the referee drops the puck, each player falls victim to some peculiar invective...
