...Recently Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, said the whole movie industry needed to radically rethink the way it was operating. What needs to be done? The movie business has for a long time been a troubled business. Content has never been king. The reality is that, wonderful as it is, the value of it doesn't go to the shareholders. Movie moguls need to be smart about how to manage talent. The reason [longtime Universal Studios owner] Lew Wasserman was able to make more money than anyone was that he set the culture of the industry. In his day there...
...with a growing number of foreclosures that are being caused by unemployment. If you don't have a steady stream of income, you don't qualify for those loan-modification programs. People with those problems will inevitably wind up going into foreclosure. Secondly, we're going to see a whole slew of option-ARM loans reset next year. In many cases, these properties are going to be upside on the loan amount. In other words, the homes will be worth less than what's owed on the loans. The only way these loans will qualify for modifications...
...rats undergoing this crucial stage of neural development, Christopher Turner, an assistant professor of neurobiology and anatomy at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, witnessed out-of-control apoptosis in the brains of rats treated with drugs that mimicked the action of the general anesthetic ketamine. Starved of calcium, whole portions of the rats' brains died off - enough to cause significant cognitive impairment. In adult rats, the effect was much less severe. "There is something about the young brain that makes it exquisitely sensitive to the loss of calcium," says Turner, who was the first to propose that calcium depletion...
...elderly patients, and it could be the result of inflammation or other stress responses to major surgery, rather than the anesthetic.) The only research to associate surgical anesthesia in infancy to cognitive impairment later in life was Wilder's study earlier this year, but the literature on the whole in this area remains inconclusive. So far, the bulk of the evidence comes from studies in lab animals, rather than the human population. "The animal data is convincing," says Wilder. "But we need further studies to see if it's true in humans...
Project Implicit offers a whole range of implicit association tests, from other races and various skin tones to a sexuality IAT. Again, FlyBy wonders what these tests seek to achieve. Such a program builds itself only on the ability to highlight racism where none may actually exist. This likely exacerbates the issue of racism, doing nothing to combat it, but trivializes it to the scale of what could be a Facebook app. Tired of the same old liberal versus conservative grids? Instead, check out my bigot meter... telling you that when I see faces of black people, I think...
