The stay-at-home moms are actually now remarkably disadvantaged in terms of social capital. We're used to thinking everything is going to get more and more virtual until we're these big floaty video heads, but actually there is a return of the real, as we figure out how to use this stuff to have real-world encounters...
...immediate benefit would be at the clinical level. The atlas would give researchers and physicians around the world access to virtual maps of how the brain functions, to compare with data they obtain from scans of their subjects or patients. By the end of next year, they should be able to project local scans free of charge into the online atlas via a computer technique called "warping." That will immediately show if some part of the brain appears to be working abnormally, compared with norms established by the scans of the 7,000 "healthy" brains. "We can do very tight...

Like many men, female players are often drawn in by moneymaking dreams (as in Chris Moneymaker...

Businesses owners called for free parking, lower rents, more greenery, the removal of the virtual teller near the CVS pharmacy, and a lingerie store. During the meeting, owners split up into small groups and wrote their brainstormed ideas onto large notepads. While many attendees disagreed about economic problems such as rents and parking prices, other topics garnered much support. Although mentions of Harvard University were...
