...they used genetic engineering to create a mouse without this crucial gene and devised an experiment to test the hypothesis. The mice were guided into a box where they would get a mild foot shock; they would react by freezing. Then they were guided into a very similar box with no shock. The altered mice would freeze in the safe box as well, and it took them a long time to figure out the difference. Normal mice figured it out pretty quickly...
Until now. Thanks to the Health-Care Callousness Assessment Test (or HCCAT, for short)--a test I've devised as a supporter of universal coverage enacted in economically rational ways--the guesswork and knee jerk can be taken out of the equation. With three simple questions--the kind that can be dropped casually in conversation or on national TV during a debate--anyone can discern whether a Republican's approach to health care is truly pitiless or merely unsympathetic. A look at how the HCCAT scores Romney's Massachusetts plan and the health-care tax deduction just announced by Rudy...
...students start to head back to campus, the decisions made at the Detroit convention will be put to the test. SDSers may still have time to prove themselves.

They're learning from our mistakes, not repeating them," says Mark Rudd, the leader of the 1968 Columbia strike who has been an unofficial consultant to the new SDS. "Give it time before you make comparisons...
Farrar agrees and says the Los Alamos lab has been testing sensors on bridges for the last 10 years, but that the technology is not yet ready for implementation. His team is about a year and a half into a four-year project to test and develop this technology, and it will be tried out on a New Mexico bridge at the end of the month. He expects that after the project is completed, it will still be a year or more before these new sensors for infrastructure become commercially available...
...called "Antoniennui." For audiences unable to get on the director's wavelength or into his measured rhythm, seeing his characters suffer in slow motion was like watching paint dry. Movies were supposed to move, not slouch against a wall, and the pace of Antonioni's movies was a special test for the antsy...
