...University of Wisconsin who is also a cellist, went on to do a similar test using laboratory rats. They were exposed to the same piano sonata in utero and for two months after birth, and then let loose in a maze. There they navigated their way out far quicker than three other groups of rats, which had been exposed to white noise, silence or a highly repetitive piece by American composer Philip Glass. In the decade since, these studies have sparked an academic storm, with many of Rauscher's peers either refining or debunking her findings. Other researchers have...
...earthquake to stage a comeback there. Ex-guerrillas now deploy their motorized rubber boats, on which they had trained for commando maneuvers, to ferry passengers across the Neelum River where bridges have collapsed. Immediately after the quake, militants were first on the scene in many villages, getting there far quicker than the Pakistani army, and they applied their expertise in first aid to save injured people pulled from fallen buildings. Their knowledge of the saw-backed ranges along the Line of Control has made it possible for them to reach quake-struck hamlets bypassed by the big aid agencies...
...with athletic forwards who can rebound out of position. When the rebounds come off short and the name of the game is boxing out, Harvard dominates the glass. But when the misses bounce far from the hoop—as can happen in facilities with harder rims—quicker and tougher opposing teams claim the majority of the boards.“I wouldn’t look too much into [the rims],” Stehle said. “But it’s probably good for a couple rebounds a game.”BALANCING ACTThrough...
...21st Century. "We now have a single currency, a common foreign and security policy, and an external relations impact on places like the Balkans and Iran. So we need a different kind of project, something that simply works better." The sooner Europe finds such a task, the quicker it will forget its really horrible...
...quicker for developers to rip an old house down," says Brett Zamore, 34, who renovated a house built in the shotgun style--first used by African-American settlers in the early 1800s--for his Rice University grad-school thesis. "But houses like the shotgun have strengths and character" as well as the potential, he says, to be prototypes for responsible modern living--and for rebuilding hurricane-hit communities on the Gulf Coast...
