...Socially, that [disagreement] can be very threatening," says study co-author Katie Liljenquist of Brigham Young. "These folks are then driven to say, 'Something more is going on here; let's figure out what's at the root of our disagreement.' " The result: the whole group analyzed the data more thoroughly and considered ideas they might otherwise have ignored. (See pictures of life inside the Googleplex...
...original concern of the leaders who will come to the summit is that a lack of regulation was the root cause of the financial and credit catastrophe that ruined the international banking system.

The LDP has held power continuously (save for a brief period in 1993) since the modern Japanese political system took root in 1955. And it would not just be any old opposition leader who would be taking over; it would be the man who for nearly 20 years has been a backroom maverick in Japan's political system, who detests the LDP, and who has long argued that Japan...
