Tweaking the roots of intelligence
Genetic inheritance and other biological factors strongly influence the ability to "overcome obstacles by taking thought."
The current science, as neuroscientists Jeremy Gray and Paul Thompson review it, suggests that at least 40 percent of variability in intelligence results purely from genetic inheritance. Another 20 percent of intelligence measured by IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tests stems only from differences in the fetal environment.
In our lifetime, these hard-wired limitations may no longer be destiny - think "Gattaca." Even now, scientists are developing ways to improve upon our natural intellects, to bust the genetically privileged minority's monopoly on smarts by building better brains.
"Enhancing intelligence is not science fiction," writes psychology professor Michael Gazzaniga in the October 2005 issue of Scientific American Mind.

budget-balancing act
Columbus- The 775,000 Ohioans who would get the largest targeted property tax cut in Ohio history can thank tobacco companies. They provided the $257 million a year that would be sliced off tax bills under Gov. Ted Strickland's budget proposal. The tax cut for elderly and disabled homeowners would be paid for by a plan to sell off the next 40 years or more of Ohio's tobacco settlement payments to investors willing to plunk down an estimated $5 billion up front. The plan is just one of a handful of strategies used to produce the balanced $52.9 billion budget for the next two years proposed by the Strickland administration Thursday morning. The budget represents a spending increase of 4.4 percent over the previous two-year budget. "The theme is living within our means and investing in what matters," said Pari Sabety, the state's budget director.
Economic issues preoccupy SAARC Summit
New Delhi, Apr 5: Economic issues dominated the just concluded 14th SAARC Summit with India's decision to unilaterally liberalise tariffs for the Regions LDCs being the cornerstone of the event, and a roadmap to be chalked out for a South Asian Customs Union and an ultimate Economic Union as the future goals.
India's decision to provide a zero duty regime would benefit the poor countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and the Maldives.
India already has a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Sri Lanka and the entirety of the proposal implies a Free Trade Area as far as India is concerned, barring, of course, Pakistan.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also promised to reduce the size of the negative list with these countries.
The fact of the matter is that Pakistan has yet to provide Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status to India, even though the latter did this decades ago to its neighbour.
More Coincidence?
I often feel like I am a stranger in a strange land, unable to comprehend the language and the customs. Scientists from the FDA recently stepped forward to announce they are receiving political interference and pressure to change their findings for non-scientific reasons (link) and these statements were barely covered on the national stage. I mean the FDA, in charge of the safety of our food supply and new drugs are being forced to tell the public untruths, but our headlines are full of politicians investigating each other, now thats productive. I try to stay away from fear-based reporting; I figure there is enough fear in this world without my adding to it, but folks, this isnt good. There is a serious disconnect between we, The People, and those sworn to protect us. Our leaders have a different agenda that has little to do with maintaining the health and well being of the American people.
China Breaks Rank With Traditional Globalization
The just concluded National Peoples Congress gave a clear signal to the Western countries that their conclusion that China has adopted Western-style capitalism was pre-mature. China made it clear that its priorities are fundamentally different from the economic-only traditional globalization of the West. Coming soon after one of the most unsuccessful trips of President Bush to South America, this is a clear indication that a vast majority of people of the world has discarded the decadent Western capitalism. This is going to quicken the decline of the west and accelerate the process of the end of Western domination. .
Climate protection in China: Siemens expects increased demand for ...
China is facing major challenges: rapid economic growth, increasing urbanization and major events like the up-coming 2008 Olympics and Expo 2010 are creating a need for advanced infrastructure. The main focus is on the fields of energy and transportation. At the 2007 session of the People's Congress, the Chinese government announced that conserving energy and raw materials, and protecting the environment were priority issues. Siemens sees this as a major opportunity. “The Siemens portfolio in China is ideally positioned for providing a modern, sustainable and environmentally compatible infrastructure," said Dr. Richard Hausmann, President and CEO of Siemens Ltd., China. “We are optimistic that, by 2010, we will double the sales of our Regional Company in China from their current level of roughly €5 billion." The technical know-how to handle the climate problem already exists.
