	smash your head against the wall My computer is now an amnesiac. Due to an inability to boot up, I've had to put all its memory in a little box and then wipe it clean. Of course, I can't install an OS, so now I'm running it off the aforementioned little box and hoping against hope I can get my brainbox back up and running sometime sooner than later. Until then, I'm back to being out of touch,... Posted by xtop at 07:59 PM \| Comments (0)

	my math hero: paul erdös "A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems." He was allowed back into the United States in the 1960s, and from 1964 his mother, now in her mid-eighties, began travelling with him. Apart from his family and old friends, Erdos had no interest in a relationship which was not founded in shared intellectual curiosity and he was content to remain a bachelor. Nor did he see the need to... Posted by xtop at 11:52 PM \| Comments (6)

	preserved sounds Inside a bombproof vault a few blocks from the White House, Dan Sheehy is surrounded by audio ghosts: the clickety-clack of typewriters, the tumble of glass bottles inside a soda machine, a 1960s-era telephone ring. Here, sonic blasts from the past are entombed in a hodgepodge of vinyl records, compact discs and reel-to-reel tapes. We are a museum of sound, said Sheehy, whose job is to preserve Americas acoustic heritage for an... Posted by xtop at 01:35 AM \| Comments (0)

	biological ball Fire ants have developed a unique method to keep from drowning. At first hint of rising water, worker ants gather the entire colony into a ball - sometimes as big as a basketball. As the water overtakes the mound, the ball rides the flood like a living raft, rolling in the water so all the members can take turns breathing. When they strike a solid object, be it a swimming dog... Posted by xtop at 01:36 AM \| Comments (0)

	brain changing Hypnosis is more than just a party trick, it measurably changes how the brain works, says a UK researcher. Hypnosis significantly affects the activity in a part of the brain responsible for detecting and responding to errors, says John Gruzelier, a psychologist at Imperial College in London. Using functional brain imaging, he also found that hypnosis affects an area that controls higher level executive functions. This explains why, under hypnosis, people can...

	back and to the left channel requires NYT registration Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have begun work on a digital scanning apparatus that they believe will be able to reproduce sound from the only known audio recording of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas. The recording was made through an open microphone on a police motorcycle during Kennedy's motorcade into Dealey Plaza, where the president was shot to death....

	russian woodpecker The Soviets fired the first shot in 1976. Miami Springs amateur operator Andy Clark (W4IYT, now SK) remembers it. Clark was operating a commercial aeronautical communications station, one which keeps contact with long-distance airliner flights by shortwave radio. Suddenly, powerful interference came on the air, disrupting communications. "I named that damn thing the woodpecker," Clark said, when he asked the New York headquarters of his communications firm if they, too, were experiencing... Posted by xtop at 10:36 PM \| Comments (0)

	in the nick of time According to a prospective study on the dangers of smoking that date back half a century, cigarette smokers die an average of 10 years sooner than nonsmokers. At least half, and possibly up to two-thirds, of people who smoke from youth are eventually killed by their habit, a quarter of them while in middle age (ages 35 to 69). "There are risks in life, but you don't have many things that kill... Posted by xtop at 04:00 PM \| Comments (3)

"It was a little rock, and over the years it's gotten bigger and bigger. I'm scared of that rock." Price said fear often was the reaction when she showed the rock and then told the story behind it. "When people see it, they... Posted by xtop at 11:53 PM \| Comments (0)

	darpa's wild kingdom In an August 2003 article, Los Angeles Times reporter Charles Pillar noted that DARPA has put forth some of the "most boneheaded ideas ever to spring from the government" -- including a "mechanical elephant" that never made it into the jungles of Vietnam and telepathy research that never quite afforded the U.S. the ability to engage in psychic spying. As former DARPA Director Charles Herzfeld noted in 1975, "When we fail, we... Posted by xtop at 01:39 AM \| Comments (0)

	100 percent sloughing By all accounts, Sarah Yeargain, shouldn't be alive. But she is and some are calling it a medical miracle. Three weeks ago, the skin on Yeargain's body began sloughing off. Dr. Daniel Lozano, from the UCSD Regional Burn Center, said, "She lost skin in her entire body. It's rather dramatic to really see this coming off in sheets." Even the membrane covering her internal organs -- her eyes, mouth, and throat --... Posted by xtop at 01:32 AM
