Around 1995 I logged on to AOL through a computer at my mom's office. There was a chat room and people were asking what the Internet was, and how you could access it. Eventually I learned, then there was college and pr0n, and now I buy stuff from Amazon without tax. Even in California. Also, no more trips to the library, and no more wondering how to make byesar. Thank you Sir Tim.
Perhaps I'll have to stop referring to my enlarged abdominal region as a beer belly. A quick search leads to no convincing evidence of a link between alcohol consumption and obesity. Worst of all, IAA medical researcher!
Not so fast my friend. Humans are extraordinary in that they have the largest brain:body mass ratio of all life forms (as I recall). Alcohol makes you fat. Getting fat reduces your brain:body mass ratio. Gotta agree with anonymous coward here. Though I hear they smoke lizard dung in Africa.
The Fed was also created and owned by a private companies, and how many people know who made it? Homeland security is just following their example.

Emotional and physical pain feel different to you, don't they? That means they feel different to your brain. I'm certainly not denigrating this study - it's interesting - but the link to the CNN summary is not fit for nerds. The article's title makes such an irrational claim that it should not be considered for further reading. The journal article's authors realize that a good fMRI scan gets hundreds of thousands of neurons per voxel at best. Even if the data were identical (they weren't) it only means is that physical and emotional pain don't look different in the average of a large functional group of brain cells. fMRI will get you the coarse activity of a brain regions, but not a neural correlate of conscious experience.
Show your data to someone who's dying old and alone. Kids are fun. I have two. I'm a scientist. I dispute the notion that time in the lab is always time better spent. Even the most quantitative scientists benefit from an appreciation of how life works, and there's no better way to observe it than raising children.
Yes, I figured you were making stuff up when I read your comment about retinal. Hey, who knows, maybe you know something I don't:) However, it did make as much or more sense than the original post, which I took as its intended effect.
You're criticizing an article about biology, allegedly written by poser astronomers, and you think biologists will call you stupid? Even if biologists know you're sucking up, they'll still like it.
I call BS. Your eyes only evolved to process green well because plants were critical to your ancestors' survival. If you'd grown up in black-plant-land, what you call green would probably correspond to our red or infrared.
FYI, I had that discussion with the wife, and so far the verdict is that 2 kids is enough. Never thought oldness would preclude my sexiness. My fraudsters comment was directed at such claims, which you don't refute, as "drawing up a 'hit list' of doctors that criticized its drug Vioxx, and creating a fake medical journal to endorse its products" The goal of creating boner pills is not the issue.
Nobody should be suing anybody, especially older, crisis-stricken men who don't want to be raising no childrens anyhow. Props to zaxios for calling out the Merck fraudsters.
Have you ever looked at a health care bill? These are for stroke victims, etc., so they'll try to get their R&D cost back by selling them to people who are rich and/or have good health insurance.
I've wondered about this. My own experience suggests that HFCS produces significantly different behavior than sucrose, but the 45:55 glucose:fructose ratio makes it hard to explain. Perhaps the concentration of free glucose in HFCS is much higher, there are glucose-dependent fructose transporters in the small intestine, etc. I lean toward believing that the mechanism is not known, rather than the effect is not there.
No one should be surprised that a paper in a social psychology journal lacks statistical validity. Social psychologists are not usually quantitatively inclined. Sure there may be exceptions, but fluff like this is often the rule, and it only gets noticed when the conclusion is of interest to the public.
Well there's a real understatement. It sucks that people might consider RNA editing to be news because some idiot journalist wildly misstates the content and novelty of the finding.
When asked for the timing of her line during a filming of Boston Legal, an acquaintance of mine replied that it was right after the captain's (not remembering his real name). The entire room gasped in horror, and the director quietly explained that he didn't like to be called the captain. She's no longer an actress, but that's probably not the reason why.

PhysOrg is still reporting/reblogging this as a news headline.

Just kidding, sorry, forgot my sarcasm flag. Retina is a good example of a specialized brain region.
To play devil's advocate, I hereby dispute this.

Not at CNN.

You're saying his birth certificate is an obvious forgery? You must be ignoring the truth. http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=185094

Obviously you're not a reductionist. You don't belong at the astronomers' meeting.

you link to a page with an offer to contact you about helping or investing. Doesn't sound free.

That seems a little high, but maybe it's because clouds don't form so well when it's zero degrees outside.

The ScienceNews article may be complete garbage
