Union Rules: One subway line in Boston is still forced to employ two drivers per train when the other Boston lines, and most all subway systems worldwide, use only one. A June Boston Globe analysis estimated that the second driver, doing virtually nothing useful, costs the government $30 million annually.

In Torrington, Conn., in June, a teenage girl, hearing a woman she lived with screaming in another room, summoned four of her friends, who quickly arrived and beat up the 25-year-old man who was with the woman. It turns out that the couple were having consensual sex (and good sex, at that). The girl and three of the boys were charged with assault

How About that

Hi All

Well another semester is well underway and I am back to blogging again. I still am not sure about a subject but, will find something soon.

Well I will post today. Finals are rapidly approaching I hope everyone is ready.
Thurs. i have to have a cardiac cath to check for blockage . We will see how that turns out.

Another day and the only thing on my blog is what I put there. This does not seem to be a constructive use of time.

Spring Break is over and still no one has visited my blog site.

Still no posts from the followers.

Another day in blog land and again no one has been to this site. What would get you to post a comment or at least get the traffic to increase on this site? Visitors are always welcome and encouraged to post.

But recently Scott found a new voice. "Can everyone hear the PC? I apologize for the quality of the voice," he asked in writing.

Scott wrote these words, one letter at a time, with nothing but his thoughts and the help of what's called a brain computer interface or "BCI." He wears a cap that picks up the electrical activity of his brain and allows him to select letters simply by thinking about them. Then the computer turns his sentences into speech.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/10/31/60minutes/main4560940.shtml check out this story . This is a good example of what is being accomplished with just the power of the brain.

According to the most current research, a brain-healthy diet is one that reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes, encourages good blood flow to the brain, and is low in fat and cholesterol. Like the heart, the brain needs the right balance of nutrients, including protein and sugar, to function well. A brain-healthy diet is most effective when combined with physical and mental activity and social interaction.

More information I found on the web about keeping the brain healthy. This is something a person should think about a healthy brain contributes to a healthy body and improves the quality of life as we get older.

Brain researchers for the first time claim to have found a method for improving the general problem-solving ability scientists call fluid intelligence, otherwise known as "smarts."

Fluid intelligence was previously thought to be genetically hard-wired, but the finding suggests that with about 25 minutes of rigorous mental training a day, healthy adults could improve their mental capacities.

Improve your mind it is possible to improve then power of your mind. Mental exersises are supposed to help.

More on Brain Power

A Drexel University researcher today presented a game that lets players control the action on the screen merely by concentrating. The game, called Lazybrains, uses a technology that measures oxygen levels in the frontal cortex of the player to determine neural activity. By thinking hard enough, the player can perform various actions on the screen, such as moving obstacles out of the way.

The technology, called functional near-infrared imaging, measures oxygen levels in various portions of the brain by projecting infrared lighting into the brain via a headband. The device was initially developed at Drexel's School of Biomedical Engineering in Philadelphia as a way to detect when patients under anesthesia were conscious but unable to move.

Lots of interesting stuff on this subject out in cyberspace. In the near future its hard to tell where this will go. Just think of being abnle to drive a car with thought waves, watch out for the scatterbrains on the road.

Check out the videos on the last post. The scientist has a monkey operating robotic arms with nothing but his thoughts. This will be a major accomplishment for the paralyzed of people with amputations.
