A new study suggests that just fingering an item on a store shelf can create an attachment that makes you willing to pay more. Previous studies have shown that many people begin to feel ownership of an item – that it is theirs – before they even buy it. But this study, conducted by researchers at Ohio State University. Here is the full story. 0160; I thank Deron Bauman. This is s...

Politicontrabajista . . . . . Thursday, October 16, 2008. Today they found my computer. My computer was on my bed. They also like to bite people. These horrible little things seem to be related to or the very same Caribbean ants that invaded Texas and caused nightmares there, even threatening NASA's Johnson Space Center. They are called crazy rasberry ants by the Texans (who aren't known for their entomology either). From the Times. Creative commons photo from Flickr user binux. Better Places Than This.

Cloudy with Chance of Asteroids. February 8, 2013. Http:/ www.vimeo.com/58731907. NASA has reassured me. Scientists believe there are approximately 500,000 near-Earth asteroids the size of 2012 DA14. Of those, less than one percent have been discovered. As more of those asteroids are discovered and their paths tracked. Maybe the next close shave will be with a giant space rock named “Asteroid Bob.”. Sign in with Twitter. Sign in with Facebook. And the World Will Fall to Pieces. Not Lost in Translation.

Guns, Gods, and Schoolmarms
http://michaelbales.com/guns-god-and-schoolmarms
Guns, God, and Schoolmarms. December 15, 2012. I’m trying, unsuccessfully, to imagine my teachers of yesteryear packing heat at school to protect me from crazy people armed with assault rifles. Not that shootings at schools happened in my youth, a comparatively quaint time of many fewer guns and people who killed with them. Now gun zealots of many stripes want to arm teachers.
