MEMORIAL The sunken memorial, called Reflecting Absence, will echo the footprints of the twin towers and will contain a museum dedicated to the events of 9/11. It is scheduled for completion in 2011 Subway transit center Underground Concourse...
...been asking himself, and his employees, that question for the past five years. And what Iwata has noticed is something that most gamers have long ago forgotten: to nongamers, video games are really hard. Like hard as in homework. The standard video-game controller is a kind of Siamese-twin affair, two joysticks fused together and studded with buttons, two triggers and a four-way toggle switch called a d-pad. In a game like Halo, players have to manipulate both joysticks simultaneously while working both triggers and pounding half a dozen buttons at the same time. The learning curve...
Indeed, most researchers believe autism arises from a combination of genetic vulnerabilities and environmental triggers. An identical twin of a child with autism has a 60% to 90% chance of also being affected. And there's little doubt that a vulnerability to ASD runs in some families: the sibling of a child with autism has about a 10% chance of having ASD.

"We think there are a number of different autisms, each of which...
...praying as the plane sways towards the velvet Appalachians. “United 93” is a superbly shot film, with strikingly poignant sequences that heighten the spiritual feel—the airplanes lined up on the tarmac looking fuzzy in the boiling heat of their engines, the Twin Towers burning desperately through a window of the banking plane. Greengrass uses a soft focus and grainy film to create a washed-out effect, which does work to bring out the jumpy chaos as the realization of the tragedy builds. However, for me one of the most striking aspects...
...gotten off track is when the choice has been framed in a way that narrows the numbers of people that can support us. Right after 9/11, President Bush was saying we were against the terrorists. And so people who were definitely opposed to seeing airplanes fly into the Twin Towers, who were against acts of terror, could be on our side. But when the choice was enlarged or changed by the President saying, you need to be with us on Iraq or what we're doing on Iran or in other parts of world, it became much harder for other...
