Omigod, no wonder I just freaked out!
Tuesday morning at 11:45am is the most stressful time of the working week, according to a survey.
Researchers found that nearly half of British workers identified mid-morning on their second working day of the week as the moment when they were most under pressure.
Researchers experimenting with a new drug have been able to erase certain memories. While it might be nice to forget certain traumatic events, what about the ethical implications of, say, removing the memory of a crime?
If you outlaw phosphates, only outlaws will have phosphates:
Those sinners in Indianapolis are on their way to being saved after saying their Earth Hour prayer at the global-warming altar:
The lights at the shop and some other locations in the city went out at 8:30 p.m. and stayed out for an hour. Sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund, the same observance was planned for the same local times around the globe.
At the shop, candles lit the room, and the lights-out participants expressed dedication.
Finally, the truth about weather forecasting:
Predicting snowfall totals for Colorado Springs is a crapshoot: How far south that precipitation lasts is often anyone's guess. Add to that the potential for a narrow band of heavy snow to suddenly develop and, on Wednesday morning, none of the meteorologists could predict for sure what's going to fall where.
"Here in Pueblo, we could get an inch or 2, or we could get a foot," Magnuson said.
Psst. Want to get ahead?
More than three decades of research shows that a focus on effort—not on intelligence or ability—is key to success in school and in life.
We needed a big research project and an article in Scientific American to know that?
This is just plain dumb:
Plans call for Sci Fi and its companion Web site (scifi.com) to morph into the oddly spelled Syfy — pronounced the same as “Sci Fi” — on July 7. The new name will be accompanied by the slogan “Imagine Greater,” which replaces a logo featuring a stylized version of Saturn.
Can someone explain this mindset to me?
President Obama said Monday that he will ensure the government never "opens the door" for human cloning, before signing an order to lift restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
Some critics say the stem cell research can lead to human cloning, but Obama said his administration would develop "strict guidelines" to avoid such experimentation.
Not real sure about this:
Doodling while listening can help with remembering details, rather than implying that the mind is wandering as is the common perception. According to a study published today in the journal Applied Cognitive Psychology, subjects given a doodling task while listening to a dull phone message had a 29% improved recall compared to their non-doodling counterparts.
Maybe we need full-time legislators here. While our part-time lawmakers are fooling around with silly things like a two-year budget, the wise men and women in the Illinois legislature are dealing with truly cosmic issues:
SPRINGFIELD - Like some sort of rulers of the universe, state lawmakers are considering restoring little Pluto's planetary status, casting aside the scientific community's 2006 decision downgrading the distant ice ball.
