Scientists say losing the facility means losing seeds and plants that exist nowhere else. But a Russian agency says much of the research center occupies weed-choked fields that would be the perfect spot for new houses.

According to Kori Schake of Foreign Policy, there is a serious disconnect between military missions and the statements coming out of the White House. Far from being the “responsible drawdown” mantra the Obama administration keeps chanting, its transition to a completely civilian mission in Iraq puts at risk the gains the military force has achieved thus far.

With 50,000 troops still in the country "in an advisory capacity," he can't declare victory, so he will instead celebrate "the end of combat operations." If he follows others who have already marked this occasion, he will focus his comments on Iraq: the state of Iraqi democracy, the level of violence, the impact of seven years of war on Iraqi society.All of which is fair enough. But I hope he spares a few extra minutes to assess the impact of seven years of war on American society–and American foreign…

The financial crisis has taken a painful toll on many E.U. members, and high national debts and the uncertain health of the continent's banks may mean more trouble ahead. But these woes pale in comparison with a more serious malady: From London to Berlin to Warsaw, Europe is…

Steven Malanga, RealClearMarketsOne sign of a potential bubble is that market makers come to believe that they are insulated from risk. The housing market, for instance, inflated as banks made increasingly riskier loans which Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and private investors snapped up in mortgage-backed securities, which took the loans off lender balance sheets.Another sign of a bubble is that the market froth inevitably produces a significant upswing in fraud as new players race to get in on the action at any cost. As investors who were short the mortgage market will tell you, the rampant cheating which came to characterize…

There is sometimes merit in that charge.As, likewise, is there sometimes merit in the charge against isolations and other doves that they always see 1914 (start of WWI) or 1964 (beginning of escalation of troops in Vietnam) — the imminent and foolish entry into or escalation of a war that can't…

Filed under: FunIn recent months I’ve been losing my mind. I don’t know if I actually have something wrong upstairs, but I have been finding it increasingly hard to keep things — ideas, snippets, variables — in short-term memory. I think, though, that it’s just a symptom of Information Overload. I sit here, hour after hour, day upon day, scanning RSS feeds, IRC rooms and forums. The amount of new data, videos and funny cat photos is simply overwhelming; I can’t keep it all in my head! I guess it’s inevitable that some things spill over the edge.
But it turns out that there might be some help on the horizon for Information Brokers like myself. With the help of brain-stimulating skull electrodes — or, more succinctly, a thinking cap — both the capacity and accuracy of your visual short-term memory can be doubled.
I’ll try and break down the complex biotechnological stuff. We have two anterior temporal lobes (ATL) in our brain, by our left and right temples. The left ATL is for context processing (where have I seen that face or heard that sound before?), while the right ATL is where a lot of visual memory takes place. It’s already been found that those with damaged left ATLs (weaker context processing) have better visual memories (very similar to autists), so the researchers decided to stimulate the right ATL to see if a similar effect could be achieved, without the need to damage the brain!
Sure enough, during testing, stimulating the right ATL improved visual memory by an astonishing 110%! To put it another way, by running a weak non-invasive electrical current across a part of the brain, the participants of this test were granted something similar to photographic memory.
Of course, I don’t know whether memorising shapes (faces, objects, tools) without their context is particularly useful. But I’m interested in the short-term capabilities of such technology. When you forget what you were going to search for in the time it takes to switch to Firefox and open a new browser tab… well… I’ll take what I can get!Open a new tab and forget what you were about to do?

A car plows through traffic on the Pulaski Skyway in Jersey City, and the Evo 4G is there to capture the aftermath.

Had I been 3-5 seconds late in moving to the left, I definitely would have gotten rammed. When the cops drove by all I could smell was burnt oil and burnt trans from the poor police cars. As soon as he passed me I grab my phone and start recording."Another reason why having a great phone with a great camera is important these days.

When I was a kid, I used to love LEGOs. Building intricate systems out of bricks is just a lot of fun. Isoball 2 is a lovely time-waster that captures some of that fun. There’s a glass ball in the wall, and when you hit Start, that ball is released. It has to get to the hole in the floor (on the left side of the screenshot).
The ball can’t fall too hard on the floor. In fact, it can’t fall at all. You get a very limited set of bricks, which you have to use to build a path for the ball. Many of the bricks are used to form a ramp, but some also change the direction of the ball.
By providing a nice slope for the ball to roll down and strategically placing the “direction shifters,” you should be able to get the ball to where it needs to go.
The first few levels are incredibly easy, but then it gets tough. The level shown in the screenshot is fairly difficult (that’s level seven).
Like many of these games, its main weakness is in the soundtrack; I wish they’d go for something more acoustic. The graphics are beautiful, though, and the isometric perspective really works.Isoball 2 is a LEGO-like, isometric Time-Waster originally appeared on Download Squad on Tue, 17 Aug 2010 13:00:00 EST.

In our society, we are free to do many things that we nonetheless choose not to.

Scott Conroy, RealClearPoliticsBy Scott Conroy – August 20, 2010More Election NewsWhile unpleasant economic news and the heated debate over the so-called Ground Zero mosque continue to dominate the Washington discourse, a massive human calamity 7,000 miles away appears likely to occupy an increasing amount of President Obama's energy in the weeks ahead.About four million Pakistanis have been rendered homeless by the floods that first hit nearly three weeks ago, and more than 20 million may feel the effects of food shortages and disease.Those numbers are cataclysmic by nearly any measure, and the White House says that…

Paul Krugman, New York TimesAs I look at what passes for responsible economic policy these days, there's an analogy that keeps passing through my mind. I know it's over the top, but here it is anyway: the policy elite "” central bankers, finance ministers, politicians who pose as defenders of fiscal virtue "” are acting like the priests of some ancient cult, demanding that we engage in human sacrifices to appease the anger of invisible gods.Hey, I told you it was over the top. But bear with me for a minute.Late last year the conventional wisdom on economic policy…

Aaron David Miller, LATWoody Allen got it wrong. Ninety percent of success in life isn't just showing up; it's showing up at the right time and knowing what to do once you get there.Barack Obama has gotten it half right then.
