Harvard’s schedule follows the same pattern with two cupcakes—Holy Cross and Lafayette—and one tough home date against Northeastern...
Eureka moments are rarely this sweet and simple. Thomas Kelsey, a computer scientist and cancer researcher at Scotland's University of St. Andrews, was browsing through a medical journal in April 2003, when he spotted a graph that looked oddly familiar. That bit of pattern recognition may help give women a window on their reproductive future - the ability to know in advance when they will reach menopause. The graph plotted the ovary size of healthy women in the U.S. against their age. But to Kelsey's eye, it had an identical trajectory to a mathematical model used to estimate...
...Scandal at Abu Ghraib As details of the horrible torture of Iraqi prisoners of war by U.S. soldiers and interrogators continue to emerge [May 17], they fit into a pattern of abuse shown in reports from Afghanistan and Guantánamo.

As a psychologist, I can state that some of the methods are well-known psychological procedures of behavior control. The attempt by the Bush Administration to blame individual soldiers for these abuses is ridiculous. Guido F. Gebauer Niedersachsen, Germany...
...makes DB special is its ability to learn new skills by mimesis, or mimicry. To understand how the human brain integrates sensory information and motor control, Kawato gave DB a dexterous body with functioning eyes, neck, torso, arms and legs. DB can watch a dance demonstration, memorize the movement pattern and replicate it by moving its body. So far, the robot has acquired about 30 skills, including juggling, air hockey, yo-yoing, folk dancing and playing the drum. Kawato is calling for a 30-year national project that would combine government money, academic research and corporate know-how to build...

The third and fourth frames followed the same pattern as Penn won 30-28 to take a 2-1 lead in the match only to have Harvard respond with a 30-26 game four win. But for the sixth time this season, the Crimson failed to capture the deciding fifth game, as it fell...
