...recent federal study on children in day care has added to our guilty burden, purporting to show a link between day care and aggression in kids in kindergarten. But beyond the headlines, researchers have pointed out that the rise in aggression is actually quite small, that it seems to peak and recede depending on the age of the child, and that the possible reasons for the day care-aggression link are as yet unstudied...
...bother? Well, if you had a suit made of rubidium canisters, you'd be invisible (except for the suit of rubidium canisters, of course). And solar power - storage being the missing link when it comes to that sort of thing - comes to mind. But most folks, when they think of taming light, dream of super-fast, super-small computers, and that seems to be where this all headed. A so-called quantum computer - one that used light instead of electricity - could use switching mechanisms moved by a single photon. Quantum communications could never be eavesdropped upon. Without the ability...
...break one of the most common signaling pathways by blocking an enzyme known as a tyrosine kinase. But the message that encourages a cancer cell to grow involves hundreds of biochemical signals that can travel by hundreds of different pathways. Each of those pathways represents a target, a link that could be interrupted with the properly designed drug...
Finally, I tested Advance's multiplayer features, which let you link as many as four players at once, by encouraging three brothers, ages 8 to 10, to duke it out. "I like the bigger screen because you can see where you're going," said the oldest, Victor. Kyle especially liked Atlus' Super Dodge Ball Advance. "When you hit the ball, it can go high." But Andre had some issues with Bam! Entertainment's Fire Pro Wrestling. "You can't grapple," he complained, "and the person I'm playing against always wins...
...American Gas Association, who raised or gave $250,000, is invited, as is former Republican Party chairman Haley Barbour, who lobbies for the huge coal-based utility Southern Co. and the firm of Cassidy & Associates, whose clients include Exxon, Texaco and Pennzoil. It's a stretch to link their fund raising and the Bush Administration's energy plan, but the timing is a p.r. nightmare: the Vice President breaking bread with energy lobbyists just four days after giving a boost to the industry...
