Brain nerve stimulation could speed up learning, study suggests
http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/XcYcYf1SmKU/brain_nerve_stimulation_could_speed_up_learning_study_suggests
In a breakthrough that may aid treatment of learning impairments, strokes, tinnitus and chronic pain, researchers have found that brain nerve stimulation accelerates learning in laboratory tests. Another major finding of the study involves the positive changes detected after stimulation and learning were complete. Researchers monitoring brain activity in rats found that brain responses eventually returned to their pre-stimulation state, but the animals could still perform the learned task.

Letting Bush tax cuts expire would solve 75% of deficit over next 5 years, 40% over 20 years

I'm not terribly thrilled about paying more taxes, especially when we know the Republicans will simply take the money and declare a few more wars. But, it is interesting to see how much money we'd save by simply rolling back the Bush tax cuts and returning taxes to where they were during the prosperous Clinton era

Young Stars in the Rho Ophiuchi Cloud: APOD April 14th 2011
http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/ZrV3tAmvs_U/young_stars_in_the_rho_ophiuchi_cloud_apod_april_14th_2011
Dust clouds and embedded newborn stars glow at infrared wavelengths in this tantalizing false-color composition from WISE, the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. The cosmic canvas features one of the closest star forming regions, part of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex some 400 light-years distant near the southern edge of the pronounceable constellation Ophiuchus. After forming along a large cloud of cold molecular hydrogen gas, young stars heat the surrounding dust to produce the infrared glow. Stars in the process of formation, called young stellar objects or YSOs, are embedded in the compact pinkish nebulae seen here, but are otherwise hidden from the prying eyes of optical telescopes. An exploration of the region in penetrating infrared light has detected emerging and newly formed stars whose average age is estimated to be a mere 300,000 years. That's extremely young compared to [...]

What happens when two Falcon Punches collide ?

These are the devastating effects of a Falcon Punch Collision (FPC). Such a collision has been theorized to anhilate all matter in the universe and create a paradox. FPCs are often considered what would be one of the most devastating doomsday disasters ever.

President Obama offered a broad vision for solving the nation?s long-term fiscal problems. This was not a speech about dollars and cents as much as it was an appeal for Americans to think about what kind of country they want and how they define shared sacrifice.

A digital rallying cry
http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/7PyD2rVHtfU/a_digital_rallying_cry
THE Twitter account of Ai Weiwei, China's foremost artist-activist, fell silent when he was arrested on April 3rd. Chinese state media suggest that he is guilty of "economic crimes" and a bevy of other reputation-killers such as plagiarism and being "erratic." But his imprisonment is clearly a means of shutting him up. A forceful advocate of democracy and free speech, Mr Ai used his blog to confront the fictions of government propaganda. With belligerent conviction, he railed against the inhumanity of a regime with no respect for the truth.

How to protest like the Japanese (hint: orderly and politely)
http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/xJLfTRIDtSg/how_to_protest_like_the_japanese_hint_orderly_and_politely
Last weekend, Japanese protesters staged the biggest public demonstration in Tokyo since the 1970s, but because Japanese people are so nice it was more like Hay-on-Wye than a siren-soundtracked, policeman-burning black blocalypse. The anti-nuke parade swamped the city streets with apologetic sweetness, as protesters followed a step-by-step guide to protesting as described in the My First Demonstration cartoon pamphlet handed out to all in attendance. It was all totally kawaii.

Just one year after the first Scream, Austin Powers sent-up bad spy movies.The first two, while a bit ludicrous, still operate as spy narratives themselves. In 1999, the criminally underrated Galaxy Quest did the same thing for Star Trek.

Hedge Fund Gamblers Earn the Same In 1 Hour As Middle-Class Households Make In 47 Years
http://feeds.digg.com/~r/digg/news/popular/~3/BS9yngYtOeA/hedge_fund_gamblers_earn_the_same_in_1_hour_as_middle_class_households_make_in_47_years
The top 25 hedge fund earners took in $22.07 billion in 2010. Thanks to a generous tax loophole these billionaires will pay a top tax rate of 15% instead of 35%. Closing that loophole on just those 25 individuals ? just 25 guys who wouldn?t miss a penny of it -- would raise $4.4 billion, which is enough to rehire 126,000 laid-off teachers.
