After watching the CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) soap plays, I find that I am lack of sense of security. In my eyes, every big city could be the sin city now. Before watching the CSI plays, the sky in my city, Seattle, is always blue, everyday could be another fine day and the air is always fresh. Everything is lovely in my eyes. But CSI displays us too many crimes. It seems like that every day when you step out your house, you could easily find a body in the corner of your yard or in the garbage cans. And sometimes I think the murderers and killers and rapists could hide anywhere around me. Sometimes I just want to wear a rubber wristband which has my name, my address and all the key information about me on it. The color should be bright and the fluorescence material would be better. But I think as long as I own that ID wristband, the new things I would worry about would come next. I might worry about my wristband would be lost and the crimes would use it to do some bad things. And everything could make me nervous now. Though I am scared by the CSI plays, I still could not move my eyes away from it. Every day when I am free, I would turn on my computer and search the resource online of CSI. Is it kind of inflicting---- the more scaring it is, the more interesting I would have? Though this world becomes a terrible place which is full of crime, the detectives in CSI could be regarded as the Guardian Angels in this world. They could not change the facts or stop crimes, but they just try their best to find the crime and protect the innocent people in this world. Maybe they are the main reason for me to be a fan of CSI.
1. I have little faith that this show would have provided an objective take on things as it relied on the Lewontin Fallacy (more within group gene variation than between group variation). This was debunked in 2003 by Cambridge geneticist AWF Edwards. The problem is that it overlooks the correlations and that genes vary in frequency across groups. 2. Efforts to tar iq tests with bad things in history overlook the fact that Stalin and Hitler banned IQ testing. In Hitler's case he banned them because Jews did well on them. 3. IQ tests actually have a progressive background in allowing working class kids with academic ability to get into Colleges previously only for the rich. hartford-hwp.com/archives/45/129.html 4. Tests aren't perfect but they predict academic performance very well. More recently neuroscientists have identified that people have quite distinct brain characteristics which correlate with iq test performance. These include cortical thickness, myelination quality and efficiency in processing info. UCLA neuroscientist Paul Thompson & Yale Psychologist Jeremy Gray summarize these findings here. loni.ucla.edu/~thompson/PDF/nrn0604-GrayThompson.pdf 5. These traits are significantly heritable. "The UCLA researchers took the study a step further by comparing the white matter architecture of identical twins, who share almost all their DNA, and fraternal twins, who share only half. Results showed that the quality of the white matter is highly genetically determined, although the influence of genetics varies by brain area. According to the findings, about 85 percent of the variation in white matter in the parietal lobe, which is involved in mathematics, logic, and visual-spatial skills, can be attributed to genetics. But only about 45 percent of the variation in the temporal lobe, which plays a central role in learning and memory, appears to be inherited. Thompson and his collaborators also analyzed the twins' DNA, and they are now looking for specific genetic variations that are linked to the quality of the brain's white matter. The researchers have already found a candidate--the gene for a protein called BDNF, which promotes cell growth. "People with one variation have more intact fibers," says Thompson." technologyreview.com/biomedicine/22333/ 6. Many genes have undergone significant change over the past 10,000 years so the possibility that groups would differ to some extent on average is not implausible. "Dec. 10, 2007 - Researchers discovered genetic evidence that human evolution is speeding up - and has not halted or proceeded at a constant rate, as had been thought - indicating that humans on different continents are becoming increasingly different. "We used a new genomic technology to show that humans are evolving rapidly, and that the pace of change has accelerated a lot in the last 40,000 years, especially since the end of the Ice Age roughly 10,000 years ago," says research team leader Henry Harpending, a distinguished professor of anthropology at the University of Utah. Harpending says there are provocative implications from the study, published online Monday, Dec. 10 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences: "We aren't the same as people even 1,000 or 2,000 years ago," he says, which may explain, for example, part of the difference between Viking invaders and their peaceful Swedish descendants. "The dogma has been these are cultural fluctuations, but almost any Temperament trait you look at is under strong genetic influence." "Human races are evolving away from each other," Harpending says. "Genes are evolving fast in Europe, Asia and Africa, but almost all of these are unique to their continent of origin. We are getting less alike, not merging into a single, mixed humanity." He says that is happening because humans dispersed from Africa to other regions 40,000 years ago, "and there has not been much flow of genes between the regions since then." unews.utah.edu/p/?r=120607-1
The Wire season 2 is on HBO on demand but it is MISSING THE LAST EPISODE!! When will this be added as this season is only available on there for another 2 weeks?
Who cares!! It is all a load of prefabricated garbage. Someone who tells as much erroneous information just to get in the media, totally managed by someone behind the scene, that is not Katie as she has no brain. Why do we (you lot) want to watch drivel. Get a life or read a book. Go for a walt or plan a pleasant healthy meal for tomorrow. Do not be a couch potatoe, putting on weight and not exercising just to watch this rubbish. One day you will be old enjough to regret wasting your very soul by viewing a boring persons fabricated life. They don't tell the truth - it is all make believe. It is just to get you to participate to sell advertising. Nothing else. It could be the teletubbies 24hours a day - an improvement but still gives me suicidal thoughts. Wake up people. There is a world that needs help out there. Care for it. Not some fictitious life of a bimbo who even claims rape as a means to promote herself. No, there was no rapist. No symapthy deserved. No crime committed. She should be had up for wasting our lives. But if you are fool enough to believe it, they send donations to me, Father Fraudster, at the Mission to Save my overdraft, a registered charity in NeverNeverland.
OMG this show is so compelling! - once you start to watch you are hooked! you just won't want to miss any of it. This guy is certainly facing his demons. Stunning scenery too.
i want to see yoga for you 30 August 09 episode
When will more episodes be available on Tiscali on Demand? It's great that the first episodes of series 1 are available but it's frustrating knowing that series 2 used to be available only a few months ago... Living TV is not available on the Tiscali TV package is it?
My kids love watching Mickey's clubhouse, would be even better if they could watch it online.
Watched this last night - RIP John Candy.
Hi Cory, thanks for your feedback. We had a problem with the Virin1 TV information and this has now been fixed. It is great that you are enjoying using the site.
