Boys and girls, they pointed out, develop differently and are quite out of sync with each other. Most boys lag behind most girls developmentally. Although they perceive spatial relationships vividly and achieve large motor control early, their relationship to the physical world makes them less able to sit quietly, listen closely, and, in general, behave like girls...
...potential uses of DeepStream's technology are endless. The company envisions sensors that detect wasted motor motion, power surges, electrical loss, overheating and unnecessary lighting - leading to vast improvements in efficiency, perhaps saving half a billion tons of carbon emissions in Britain alone each year. "Energy sensors are going to be a massive part of our future," says Crosier. Perhaps Eaton would like to buy some...

The most white-knuckle time of all was post--Sept. 11, when even confident flyers took to the roads. Not surprisingly, from October through December 2001 there were 1,000 more highway fatalities than in the same period the year before, in part because there were simply more...
