01. Is Google Making Us Stupid? , Atlantic Monthly
Excerpts: The idea that our minds should operate as high-speed
data-processing
machines is not only built into the workings of the Internet, it is the
network's reigning business model as well. The faster we surf across the Web
-
the more links we click and pages we view - the more opportunities Google and
other companies gain to collect information about us and to feed us
advertisements. Most of the proprietors of the commercial Internet have a
financial stake in collecting the crumbs of data we leave behind as we flit
from link to link - the more crumbs, the better. The last thing these
companies
want is to encourage leisurely reading or slow, concentrated thought. It's in
their economic interest to drive us to distraction.

01.01. Google and the Real Search for Meaning on the Web , NYTimes
Excerpts: Google has been publishing a series of posts about how its search
engine works, like [5] this one from Amit Singhal, one of the crucial
scientists in its search quality group. (I met Mr. Singhal when I wrote [6]
this article about Google's search algorithms.) This series reminds me how
much confusion there is in the discussion about the future of search and how
so
many companies are going to become Google-killers by building what they call
"semantic search." Semantic search is based on the idea that if you can
build
technology that better understands what a user is really looking for and
what a
Web page is really about, you can find the page most users want
faster. Semantic
technology has great promise to improve search, and it offers to
provide gainful
employment to scores of linguists who have been toiling unappreciated in the
world's universities.

01.02. Wikipedia, Meet Knol , NYTimes
Excerpts: Seven months after Google [8] began testing a service called Knol,
a
Wikipedia competitor, the company on Wednesday [9] finally introduced it. The
search expert Danny Sullivan aptly describes [10] Knol as " [11] Like
Wikipedia, With Moderation." Articles on various topics are penned by
individuals, and in many cases, experts - not collectively by the anonymous
masses. Knol authors can choose to benefit from the "wisdom of the crowds" by
letting others edit or supplement their articles. But those changes make it
into Knol entries only with the author's permission.

02. The Pivotal Role Of News Agencies In The Context Of Globalization: A
Historical Approach , Global Networks
Excerpt: The global media play a fundamental role in contemporary
globalization, making possible instant communication and promoting an
experience of global connectedness. The globalization of media communications
has deeply shaped the modern journalistic field in the last 150 years and, at
the same time, global news organizations have been instrumental in creating
the
very conditions that have made globalization possible. In this
article I explore
the relationship between globalization and the media and trace the historical
development of the field of global news, examining in detail the role and
trajectories of its most important players, the global news agencies, (...).

03. Comrades To Consumers: Study Of Advertising Reveals China's Startling
Transformation , Innovations-report
Excerpts: From ancient Arabian traders to Marco Polo followers, merchants
have tried to transform China massive population into materialistic
consumers. (...) How did China become a consumerist society (...) looks at
the
role advertising has played in China transformation. (...) analyzed
advertisements in the Chinese media for clues on how sociological and
ideological change has taken place (...). hroughout the 1980s and even today,
sacred political icons such as red stars and red flags, which used to
be closely
connected with the power and ideology of Chinese communism, have often been
co-opted in advertising to promote consumer goods from color TVs to
refrigerators, write (...).

04. Context Is Everything: New Research Uncovers Key To Consumer Preferences
,
ScienceDaily
Excerpts: When consumers shop for televisions or cereal, what makes them
prefer
one option to another? Which brand will they purchase again and tell their
friends about? New research (...) reveals that a product attractiveness can
shift depending on the other choices that are available at the time. Authors
(...) demonstrate that if consumers perceive they e choosing the best item
from a set of options, they are more likely to feel good enough about
choosing
the product again next time. (...)

Excerpts: The computer mouse is set to die out in the next five years and

"The new generation of smartphones like the iPhone all now have tilting
mechanisms or you can shake the device to do one or more things." Prentice
also
highlighted home entertainment efforts from Panasonic which employ hand and
facial recognition techniques to display information in place of a
conventional
remote control. However, while the mouse's 40 year-old reign is coming to an
end, the keyboard is here to stay, according to the analyst. (...)

06. Emotional Robots In The Spotlight , Innovations-report
Excerpt: A robot with empathy sounds like the stuff of sci-fi movies, but
with
the aid of neural networks European researchers are developing robots in tune
with our emotions. The tantalising work of the Feelix Growing project is
grabbing the world attention. Feelix Growing is developing software
empowering robots that can learn when a person is sad, happy or angry. The
learning part is achieved through the use of artificial neural networks,
which
are well suited to the varied and changing inputs that erceptive robots
would be exposed to. Using cameras and sensors, the very simple robots being
built by the researchers (...).

07. The Role Of The Orbitofrontal Cortex In The Pursuit Of Happiness And More
Specific Rewards , Nature
Excerpts: Cues that reliably predict rewards trigger the thoughts and
emotions
normally evoked by those rewards. Humans and other animals will work, often
quite hard, for these cues. This is termed conditioned reinforcement. The
ability to use conditioned reinforcers to guide our behaviour is normally
beneficial; however, it can go awry. For example, corporate icons, such as
McDonald's Golden Arches, influence consumer behaviour in powerful and
sometimes surprising ways, and drug-associated cues trigger relapse to drug
seeking in addicts and animals exposed to addictive drugs, even after
abstinence or extinction.

08. Seven Reasons Why People Hate Reason , New Scientist
Excerpts: From religious fundamentalism to pseudoscience, it seems that
forces
are attacking the Enlightenment world view - characterised by rational,
scientific thinking - from all sides. The debate seems black and white:
you're
either with reason, or you're against it. But is it so simple? In a series of
special essays, our contributors look more carefully at some of the most
provocative charges against reason. The results suggest that for all the
Enlightenment has achieved, we still have a lot of work to do.

10. Even Toddlers Get It: Data 'Chunks' Are Easier To Remember , ScienceDaily
Excerpts: Which is easier to remember: 4432879960 or 443-297-9960? The
latter,
of course. Adults seem to know automatically, in fact, that long strings of
numbers are more easily recalled when divided into smaller "bite-sized
chunks,"
which is why we break up our telephone and Social Security numbers in this
way.
Now researchers (...) have discovered that children as young as 14 months old
can -- and do -- use the same technique to increase their working memories,
indicating that "chunking" information in this way is not a learned strategy,
but is, instead, a fundamental aspect of the human mind. (...)

11. A New Strategy For Assessing Sensitivities In Biochemical Models , Phil.
Trans. A
Excerpt: An integral part of any systems biology approach is the modelling
and
simulation of the respective system under investigation. However, the values
of
many parameters of the system have often not been determined or are not
identifiable due to technical experimental difficulties or other constraints.
Sensitivity analysis is often employed to quantify the importance of each of
the model's parameters in the behaviour of the system. This approach can also
be useful in identifying those parts of the system that are most sensitive
with
the potential of becoming drug targets. (...)

12. Motor Neuron Disease: The Curious Ways Of ALS , Nature
Excerpts: That mutations in the SOD1 enzyme underlie inherited forms of a
motor
neuron disease known as ALS is clear. But the question of what the
consequences
of such mutations are seems to have more than one answer. (...) Among the
biggest challenges will be to distinguish mechanisms that cause the disease
from those that are only epiphenomena. In our view, the most likely
possibility
is that every set of observations discussed here is partly right, with
age-dependent, selective toxicity requiring a convergence of damage to motor
neurons and non-neurons alike.

13. Signal Transduction: Linking Nutrients To Growth , Nature
Excerpts: How cells sense nutrients to control growth is largely unknown. One
missing link involved in conveying the nutrient signal to the TOR protein,
which regulates growth, seems to be the Rag proteins. In mammalian cells,
nutrients (such as amino acids), growth factors and cellular energy together
trigger a molecular signalling pathway, mediated by the protein TOR, that
controls cell growth. Deregulation of this pathway is implicated in cancer,
and
TOR inhibition by the anticancer drug rapamycin prevents unruly cell growth.

14. Systems Biology: On The Cell Cycle And Its Switches , Nature
Excerpts: For the cell-division cycle to progress, hundreds of genes and
proteins must be coordinately regulated. Systems-level studies of this cycle
show that positive-feedback loops help to keep events in sync. The cell
cycle
is a complex but orderly sequence of events that culminates in the production
of two cells from one.

15. Developmental Biology: Serpent Clocks Tick Faster , Nature
Excerpts: Snakes have graceful, elongated bodies containing hundreds of
vertebrae. This extreme of morphology stems from evolutionary changes in a
developmental clock that regulates body patterning. (...) Their data suggest
that a developmental 'clock', which regulates key steps in body patterning,
ticks faster (relative to growth rate) in snakes than in shorter-bodied
animals. This is a dramatic example of heterochrony, in which adjustments in
developmental timing lead to morphological change.

16. Country, the City Version: Farms in the Sky Gain New Interest , NYTimes
Excerpts: Dickson Despommier, a professor at Columbia University, created
the vertical farm concept with 82 graduate students. He says that the
skyscrapers could protect a city's food supply from floods and droughts, and
from pathogens that attack crops.
Photo: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign When Mr. Stringer heard
about the concept in June, he said he immediately pictured a "food farm"
addition to the New York City skyline. "Obviously we don't have vast amounts
of
vacant land," he said in a phone interview. "But the sky is the limit in
Manhattan." Mr. Stringer's office is "sketching out what it would take to
pilot
a vertical farm," and plans to pitch a feasibility study to the mayor's
office
within the next couple of months, he said. "I think we can really do this,"
he
added. "We could get the funding."

Excerpts: The radar measures the scatter in microwaves bouncing off the sea
into orbit; the wave motion measured indicates wind speed. The image shows
wind-power density in December, January and February; during June, July and
August the density becomes greatest in the high latitudes of the Southern
Hemisphere. Many areas with high wind-power values experience mid-latitude
winter storms, trade winds or monsoons. In other cases, the shape of the land
funnels the wind into reliable jets.

British J. Pol. & Int. Rela.
Excerpts: The British government's response to the London bombings sought to
make the terror of that day foreign, even though it appeared largely
domestic.
This helped construct it as unusual, contingent, (...). However, it also drew
the response into the arena of British foreign policy, where the 'failing
state' has been the dominant conceptualisation of insecurity and terrorism,
especially since September 11th. When the bombings are examined through the
'failing state' disturbing and important problems are uncovered. Primarily,
the
'failing state' discourse deconstructs under the influence of the terrorism
in
London, revealing that Britain itself is a 'failing state' by its own
description (...).
