...that work for them. What researchers never knew was precisely how elaborate that tactile system is, nor exactly how it operates. But in research that will be published in the Feb. 28 issue of Neuron, investigators at MIT have come up with an imaginative tool for finding out: high-speed video technology that works at 3,200 frames per second - approximately 100 times faster than home video. "There were hypotheses before," says Christopher Moore, member of the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT and senior author of the study. "But now we can actually see how these whiskers work...
...apologized for not properly citing another professor’s work in his 1985 book, “God Save This Honorable Court.” That same year, law professor Charles J. Ogletree Jr. admitted to lifting six paragraphs in his book, “All Deliberate Speed,” from a Yale professor. And in Oct. 2006, The Crimson uncovered another incident of plagiarism in Ogletree’s book, citing a paragraph that contained wording from a 1996 work by a University of California-San Diego civil rights scholar...
...there lies the rub: The chance of either China and India - two countries that remain poor, despite the speed at which their economies are growing - accepting limits on their greenhouse gas emissions is virtually nil.

An atypically restrained Kanye finally makes his appearance when Rita opens the trunk to reveal his bound, gagged, and tuxedoed figure. She gives his ducktaped mouth a kiss and retrieves a shovel. As the camera pans...
...acquiring culinary gadgetry was easy compared with creating it, and Arnold quickly proved himself a gifted inventor. There was his immersion blender with an 18-volt battery and a trigger borrowed from a DeWalt high-speed drill, for starters. He began writing about equipment and technology for Food Arts magazine, and one night, while eating at the restaurant wd~50, Arnold chatted up chef Wylie Dufresne, a man so gadget-happy, he has deep-fried mayonnaise. Dufresne, like most people, came away from his first meeting with Arnold just a little dizzy. "He's probably a little ADD," says Dufresne...
