...cameras are only a piece of a big puzzle that ranks Chicago as one of the most techno-savvy departments in the nation. The city's advanced weapons against crime include instant suspect notifications and photos that are sent to police in the field via BlackBerrys; special cameras that police can use to scan partial or full license plates to see if a car is wanted; and gunshot detection equipment in certain pockets of the city that uses sensors to alert cops to shootings before citizens even pick up the phone to call them...
...received the coveted Culinary Workers Union endorsement last week. The powerful group of 60,000-plus members could well swing the caucuses one way or another. They are so powerful that when Nevada was setting up the system a year ago they convinced the state to allow the nine special at-large caucuses on the Strip for workers who don't have time to return home for two hours in the middle of the day. Held in hotels just down the hall from over-oxygenated casinos, they are open to any workers within 2.5 miles: croupiers and show girls...
Another species of bird, the scrub jay, has challenged our supposedly unique gift of foresight. Scrub jays like to store food, and they remember thousands of different hiding places. Studies have shown that they make a special point of tucking food away when they expect they'll need it the next day. What makes the time-traveling and toolmaking of birds all the more impressive is that, unlike apes and monkeys, they don't share a close evolutionary history with us. They evolved these supposedly human features on a line parallel to the one we traveled--essentially developing the skills...
This week's cover package, the Science of Romance, our annual Mind/Body special section, continues that tradition of digging into complicated areas that reveal not only rich science but science that relates to our readers in meaningful ways. The main story was written and the entire package was edited by TIME science editor Jeffrey Kluger. Co-author of Apollo 13 (which served as the basis for the 1995 movie) and the author of five other books, including the upcoming Simplexity, about the beautiful simplicity and complexity of everything around us, Kluger has been with TIME for 12 years...
...experiences span the issues of the modern political landscape: elections, globalization, and the environment. The six one-semester fellows, announced yesterday, hail from Ireland, Indiana, and places in between. They will lead study groups where students can gain a firsthand perspective on public service, and work with undergraduates on special projects. In addition to several politicians and political journalists, the institute also selected an environmental advocate as a result of student interest, IOP Director Jim Leach said yesterday. The fellows include David Yepsen, a political columnist for The Des Moines Register who has covered the Iowa caucus since...
