...even you made it because you don’t know what the hell else to study. Because while they spend hundreds of hours a semester in the unflattering fluorescent lights of a lab or scribbling out equations on their so-called “midterms” that occur on a weekly basis, you’ll be relaxing quietly in a dark lecture hall looking at pictures. Maybe you can even sit in the back and take a midday nap. It’s like preschool all over again. You’ll spend much of your time...
...There is one more reason that I won't be throwing eBible to the top of my "favorites" queue, however. At least for now, although other links on the site occur almost instantaneously, the money link, the one that actually takes you into scripture, is considerably slower than BibleGateway's. That may be the price you pay for all that interactivity, but for a guy who mostly wants to be able to cite chapter and verse like he actually went to Sunday school, it's a problem. I type "slow" into eBible and it reminds me that Moses was "slow...
...study is being run by Neurosense, an Oxford-based consulting firm that's a leader in the fast-growing industry called neuromarketing. Neuromarketing uses the techniques and technologies of neuroscience - particularly FMRI scanners - to better understand how our brains react to advertising, brands and products, reactions that mostly occur subconsciously. This burgeoning ability to peer inside the black box of the brain to see how it processes images and messages and reaches decisions potentially gives marketeers a new tool that can be used to fine-tune ads and marketing campaigns, bolster or extend brands, or design better products...
...drugs we have are the corticosteroids like prednisone. They have too many side effects to be first-line arthritis drugs but many folks have to take them for other reasons. These patients might find them actually too effective against pain. Appendicitis, gall bladder disease or even bowel infarctions can occur in these patients without them feeling any pain at all. This is very dangerous - the pain of early appendicitis is a good thing; it saves lives by bringing patients to the doctor before they start to die of abdominal infection...
What Bush realized after 9/11 is that unless we can change the conditions that give rise to terrorism, new recruits will simply fill the shoes of those we eliminate. And while radicalization can occur in almost any context, it is easier to defuse the consequences in an open society--one where grievances can be addressed through the political process rather than through suicide bombings. Democracy is no cure-all, but the record suggests that liberal, representative regimes are less likely to sponsor terrorism or wage aggressive wars than their more illiberal neighbors...
