The brain slices have had a strange journey

If you've ever wondered what the brain of a genius looks like, make your way to Philadelphia. There, the public can view for the first time 46 slivers of the brain of Albert Einstein, the theoretical physicist who developed the Theory of General Relativity.

The brain slices have had a strange journey since Einstein's death in 1955 at age 76 from an abdominal aneurism. The pathologist who completed Einstein's autopsy, a man named Thomas Harvey, removed Einstein's brain as part of standard autopsy procedure -- and then failed to put it back. Harvey later said that Einstein's son had given him permission to take the scientist's brain, but the Einstein family disputed that claim.

Einstein's brain will be in good company at the museum, which also boasts displays of a tumor from President Glover Cleveland and neck tissue from John Wilkes Booth. The goal, Dhody said, is to let visitors see what the brain of a genius looks like, while emphasizing that no one really knows if anything about Einstein's brain structure made him great.

Faced With A lightning Strike Of Flash Bulbs

FACED with a lightning strike of flash bulbs, Martin O’Neill sat in stationary solitude at the front of the Stadium of Light’s Riverview Suite. In the room where predecessor and fellow A List name Roy Keane was presented as Black Cats boss, the newly-unveiled O’Neill showed little of the animation which will become part of his routine in the Sunderland dug-out.

The assembled hacks chuckled at the display of dark humour from a manager renowned for his charm and O’Neill continued to captivate through the remaining two hours in which he addressed television, radio and print media. O’Neill conceded the evident flaws in Sunderland’s game at present, both a lack of goals and lack of confidence, and realized they needed to be eradicated sooner rather than later.

Neither did O’Neill delude himself into thinking he would receive special favours on the terraces for his boyhood allegiance to Sunderland.

Newt Gingrich On Monday At A Meeting Of Conservative

The Republican primary season begins, Newt Gingrich spent his Monday not on the hustings of Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina, but in Midtown Manhattan, prospecting for what his newly resurgent campaign needs most desperately money. Bolstered by strong debate performances and top billing in some recent Republican polls, Mr. Gingrich cruised into the Union League Club for a fund-raiser and news conference, followed by private meetings with potential high-dollar donors around Manhattan.

When most of the Republican candidates are hustling for votes, Mr. Gingrich must, in matter of weeks, build a fund-raising infrastructure that can finance last-minute campaign trips, advertising and get-out-the-vote efforts in the early states and give him staying power to compete beyond them.The challenge is especially stark for Mr. Gingrich, who until now has been among the weakest fund-raisers in the field.

Sexting Not A Common Practice For Young Teens

The teenagers horny little devils or precious little angels? This week, according to the dominant media narrative, it seems to be the latter. After years of hand-wringing over the trend of teenagers texting each other naughty photos, the release of a new study on Monday prompted a flood of headlines like “‘Sexting Not a Common Practice for Young Teens” and “Only 1% of Teens Are Actually Sexting.”

Schizophrenic coverage:

The coverage of this latest finding should highlight our cultural inability to look at teen sexuality with any nuance. The narrative tendency is to swing between the extreme poles of corruption and innocence. They are either hormonal, sex-crazed maniacs or innocents in need of protection.

Astronomer Tanya Hill, from the Melbourne Planetarium at Science works, said lunar eclipses were great astronomical events everyone could enjoy.Lunar eclipses are common for turning the moon a rusty, reddish colour, which is caused by beams of sunlight hitting the moon from a different angle than usual, after they bounce around the atmosphere.

The Global Carbon Project, An International Collaboration Of Scientists Tracking The Numbers

Global emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil-fuel burning jumped by the largest amount on record last year, upending the notion that the brief decline during the recession might persist through the recovery. Scientists with the group said the increase, a half-billion extra tons of carbon pumped into the air, was almost certainly the largest absolute jump in any year since the Industrial Revolution, and the largest percentage increase since 2003.

The increase solidified a trend of ever-rising emissions that scientists fear will make it difficult, if not impossible, to forestall severe climate change in coming decades. They do not expect the extraordinary growth to persist, but do expect emissions to return to something closer to the 3 percent yearly growth of the last decade, still a worrisome figure that signifies little progress in limiting greenhouse gases.

They Indian Player Harbhajan Singh Started Taking Their Own "Rest" And "Injury" Breaks

The little surprised the news that Harbhajan Singh was dropped from the tour of Australia and then missed his next Ranji Trophy game because of a shin injury didn't make the headlines it should have. A week later, we learn he may be out for a long time because the scans have revealed the injury is a lot more serious than it was originally thought to be.

India's management of their players' fitness has left a lot to be desired over the years. It was an important reason why Indian cricket was humiliated in England earlier this year. If the curious case of Harbhajan's injury is ignored by the authorities and allowed to pass, an important lesson will not have been learned from the England tour.

So the players took a more pragmatic approach. Instead of taking on the boards to get the right balance between rest and play, they started taking their own "rest" and "injury" breaks, while their nation's cricket marched on.

In New York Verizon To Further Expand Its Wireless Data Networks

The spectrum transfer, if approved by the government, will allow Verizon to further expand its wireless data networks. But perhaps just as important, a separate agreement announced Friday will enable the cable companies – Comcast, Time WarnerCable and Bright House Networks – to market Verizon services and vice versa, foreshadowing the possibility of cable television, broadband, home phone and cellphone service someday appearing on a single monthly bill.

The spectrum transfer part of the deal will require approval by the Federal Communications Commission and an antitrust review by the Justice Department. The agencies strongly objected to the proposed acquisition of T-Mobile by AT&T, Verizon's chief rival. That deal has been withdrawn from the FCC. Daniel S. Mead, chief executive of Verizon Wireless, said the spectrum would be a "critical mechanism" for delivering wireless service in the future.

The guttural voice behind Batman's black mask may soon be silenced, according to the man who plays the iconic superhero.Bale played the Gotham protector in two previous Batman films: “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight,” both of which were directed by Christopher Nolan.

Late last year, the actor spoke to E!

Joining Bale in his last sojourn as the Caped Crusader for the upcoming film are newcomers Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon Levitt and Tom Hardy. Bale praised his three costars as being “wonderful,” “phenomenal” and “intriguing,” respectively.

But for all of Batman's tough-and-tumble stunts, the hardest role, he acceded, probably went to Hathaway. "There are a number of people who feel that the Catwoman role has been defined previously," he said. "So, I always saw Anne's role as being the toughest job of any of us."

The Union Leader went for Steve Forbes in 2000. That year, publisher Joe McQuaid wrote that Forbes “believes in what he says and he says it. His two main rivals, on the other hand, seem much more interested in what the news media say about them than in their own message.”

Question Raise From Facebook's Phone Will Fail

Facebook’s supposedly forth coming smartphone, reported by All Things D, paints the picture of a company that either thinks it can do no wrong, is feeling incredibly squeezed by Apple and Google.
The impression created is that Facebook is weaker and has more problems than most people imagine. Not good with an IPO supposedly around the corner.Since Walt Mossberg’s site gets all the best leaks, I am betting the report is as true a story as Facebook is willing to tell 12-18 months pre-launch. But if their story is a tad off, the alternate reality is more interesting and might be more successful.

The same sort of hubris that makes Facebook believe the world is clamoring for it to be in the smartphone business will eventually be its downfall. Facebook has more corporate ego than Microsoft could ever imagine and it will come back to haunt the company in the form of big legal challenges.
