          <pubDate>Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
          <description><![CDATA[The video is brief, just a couple of minutes, but it&rsquo;s reality TV as riveting as anything you&rsquo;ll ever see. A man in his mid-50s, affable, articulate, faces the camera and talks a bit about a medical procedure he&rsquo;s had. He holds in his hand what looks like a remote control. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll turn myself off now,&rdquo; he says mildly. The man presses a button on the controller, a beep sounds, and his right arm starts to shake, then to flap violently. It&rsquo;s as if a biological hurricane has engulfed him, or perhaps it&rsquo;s that his arm is made of straw and some evil sprite is waving it about. With effort, the man grasps the malfunctioning right arm with his left hand and slowly, firmly, subdues the commotion, as if he were calming a child in the throes of a temper tantrum. He&rsquo;s breathing hard, and it&rsquo;s clear he can&rsquo;t keep it up much longer. With an almost desperate gesture, he reaches out for the controller and manages to press the button again. There&rsquo;s a soft beep, and suddenly it&rsquo;s over. He&rsquo;s fine.Composed, violently afflicted, then composed again. All with the flick of a switch. As before-and-after moments go, this one is potent, verging on the miraculous. It&rsquo;s the kind of thing you&rsquo;d expect to witness under a revival tent, not in the neurology ward of a British hospital. Once you&rsquo;ve seen it, you&rsquo;ll have an indelible image of Parkinson&rsquo;s disease. The word &ldquo;tremor&rdquo; doesn&rsquo;t convey what can happen to people--the way they are thrashed and harassed by their own bodies. But this scene, involving a patient of ours, informs viewers about more than a disease; it&rsquo;s a vivid window onto a powerful medical technology known as deep-brain stimulation (you can watch the video at www.kringelbach.dk/nrn).

          <pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2009 08:20:11 +0000</pubDate>
          <description><![CDATA[We've waited all summer for an action movie with genuine (not canned) excitement, twisty plotting, and real characters. We'd never have guessed it would come in the form of Torchwood, formerly known as Doctor Who's ridiculous spin-off. Minor spoilers ahead. So the first two episodes of Torchwood season three, the five-part miniseries known as "Children Of Earth" have already aired in the U.K., and they've vastly exceeded my expectations.  I'll try and keep this review relatively spoiler-free, for all the people who aim to watch the show when it airs on BBC America starting July 20. But be warned: by "relatively spoiler free," I mean I'll try and stick mostly to details that were in the trailers and preview articles that have appeared in official places like the Radio Times. Information the BBC wants you to know before seeing this story, in other words. So. Honestly, I think the trailers sold this story a bit short. I expected it to be a lot of slow scenes of children being spooky while people wrung their hands, intermingled with sinister government people being sinister. But actually, the thing with the kids stopping absolutely still, and later repeating the alien message "We are coming," was extremely intense and well handled. And most of the credit belongs to Russell T. Davies, who wrote the first episode and obviously worked on the second one as well. Davies knows how to convey the rhythms of family life, and the chatter of everyday people coming and going, so when he gives us children stopping dead and chanting spookily, it doesn't feel at all like a cruddy horror movie. It feels, at first, like an inconvenience &mdash; and then the horror of it sort of sneaks up on you. The aspect of this storyline that I expected to be the most annoying turned out to be dead effective. I often feel like there are two Russell T. Davieses &mdash; there's the one who creates storylines like this one, or the Doctor Who episodes "Midnight" and "Turn Left": jagged dramas where people are pushed to the edge and they reveal their inner ugliness as well as their inner courage. And then there's the one who wants you to bathe in a swimming pool full of schmaltz and bombard you with a rough sequence of over-the-top "moments" that are disconnected from each other and from any sense of storytelling &mdash; like last season's "Journey's End." Like so many writers, Davies' greatest strengths can become his worst weaknesses, when he gets too self-indulgent. But he's got a lot to prove here, by turning Doctor Who's weak sibling into a genuine success. Davies has said again and again that he'll stay with Torchwood (and the other spin-off, the Sarah Jane Adventures) forever, even though he's leaving Doctor Who at the end of the year. So he's obviously determined to win people over with this one. The Torchwood team have never seemed as likeable as they do in these first two episodes. Giving both Jack and Ianto family members of their own seems like such an obvious step at character-building, you have to wonder why it didn't happen in season one. Jack's visit with his daughter Alice is, as the Radio Times says, "low-key but poignant" &mdash; especially given what we find out about why we haven't seen her before. "I get older... and you stay the same," she says. Meanwhile, all the stuff with Ianto's family is hilarious, and it's great to see a different side to Ianto than the eager-to-please manservant we've grown to love.  As for Gwen &mdash; I never thought I'd say this, but she's really growing on me. Davies seems to sense that Gwen has spent too much time in previous outings having her lip tremble and her wall-sized eyes water, so she's thrown into the role of action hero &mdash; and it works beautifully. It's hard to believe these are the same people we saw bickering endlessly, and obsessing over who was snogging whom, back in season one. There's still plenty of time for weird/risque humor, but it doesn't drive the story into the realms of the trivial. And then there's all the political intrigue, something Davies has tackled in the past, with mixed results. This time around, the stakes genuinely feel enormous, and the mystery that unfolds regarding whatever happened in 1965 is genuinely intense. And all of Torchwood's incompetence and silliness, that we've all lamented in the past, finally comes back to haunt them once the government sets out to destroy the team before they discover the truth about what's going on. We saw back in season two that even random old ladies on the streets of Cardiff see the Torchwood van drive by and mutter, "Bloody Torchwood." Now the fact that this organization is possibly the least well-kept secret in Wales turns out to be a genuine liability. And the ubiquitous surveillance state, which the Torchwood crew were so happy to take advantage of in the past (Remember all those scenes in the first two seasons where our heroes check the public CCTV camera feeds?) suddenly turns out not to be quite so warm and fuzzy. The other thing that "Children Of Earth" is doing really well, so far, is its alien menace. Whatever the mysterious alien threat behind the mind-controlled children and governmental paranoia is, it's being built up as a legitimately huge menace. Without having shown us so much as a tentacle-tip so far, the show has managed to build tons of anticipation for the alien threat to show up &mdash; here's hoping it doesn't actually disappoint. And finally, as the Radio Times says, Jack and Ianto have to deal with the implications of being a couple. And this is the other thing I really liked about those first two episodes. Without dragging us into any long relationship-wrangling scenes, the show gives us several glimpses of just what it might mean for Jack and Ianto to be "a couple," rather than just storage-room lovers. (And no, the show doesn't forget that Ianto used to have a girlfriend, as we saw in the episode "Cyberwoman." Even though we've all tried to forget that episode.) Not surprisingly, this is a subject near to Russell T. Davies' heart &mdash; the vast difference between queerness behind a veil of innuendo and secrecy, and proud, open queer relationships in the light of day. He doesn't retreat behind any simplistic archetypes, and instead allows both Jack and Ianto to have complex feelings about their relationship and how public it should be, which are hinted at from various vantage points, rather than spelled out in giant block letters. Oh and &mdash; and this is a bit more of a spoiler &mdash; RTD doesn't stint on the nudity. Those of us who worried that the move to BBC1 meant Jack would be covering up more needn't have worried. And I have a feeling adherents to at least one obscure fetish will be very happy about one particular scene in episode two. Obviously, the show isn't perfect &mdash; there are a few convenient coincidences that help our heroes out at various crucial moments. The British civil service seems to be pretty easy-going about handing out passwords to top-secret computer accounts as well. And there are one or two moments, here and there, that fall flat. But so far? I'm pretty riveted. I can hardly believe I'm actually saying this, but this could be the year that Torchwood becomes better than Doctor Who &mdash; at least until Steven Moffat takes over the reins of the parent series. Then all bets are off.  And a warning to people who've read this far and want to remain unspoiled &mdash; I have a feeling the comment thread on this post will get quite spoilery. That said, if you've seen the episodes already, please keep your first paragraph of your comment spoiler-lite, in case it crops up on the front page of the site. Thanks!<br />

          <description><![CDATA[Another round of ethnic violence in Urumqi as Han Chinese and Uighers clashTHE city of Urumqi was an ethnic tinderbox on Tuesday July 7th. Two days after rioting in the provincial capital of China&#8217;s western Xinjiang region had left at least 156 people dead and more than 1000 injured, tensions flared anew. Urumqi is home to 2.3m people, a majority of them Han Chinese, many of whom have lived here for generations, and a minority of them Uighurs, Xinjiang&#8217;s mostly Muslim indigenous Turkic population. Screaming in anger about the weekend unrest, thousands of Han Chinese marched through the centre of Urumqi on Tuesday afternoon, wielding a variety of makeshift and menacing weapons, including clubs, meat cleavers, long knives, axes and bricks. &#8220;This is no longer an issue for the government!&#8221; said an employee of the Tian Bai Commercial Plaza, wooden club in hand. &#8220;This is now an ethnic struggle between Uighur and Han. It will not end soon, and we Han will do what we must to protect ourselves&#8221;, he said. ...]]></description>

          <pubDate>Tue, 07 Jul 2009 09:55:13 +0000</pubDate>
          <description><![CDATA[<br />
The City of Copenhagen recently launched a public bicycle counter [copenhagenize.com], completely equipped with an air pump for the convenience of cyclists. The urban display counts the daily number of cyclists that use the new Green Path that slices diagonally across the Copenhagen and Frederiksberg pathway system. There is a 'sensor line' in the asphalt on the bike lane a few metres in front of the counter which registers the cyclists, probably via a motion sensor. <br />
<br />
The idea is to encourage more people to ride by showing how many are using it. The numeric displays show the total so far today and this year. On the barometer-styled display, the left side will show last years' total. <br />
<br />
The #500,000s cyclist passing by will get a fancy new bike.<br />

          <description><![CDATA[The Whistler Mountain Bike Park has announced that the highly anticipated Garbanzo Zone trails will open one week earlier than planned, this Saturday, June 20. â€œWeather has definitely been on our side this spring with lots of sunshine and warm temperatures melting away snow and drying up the trails,â€ says Rob McSkimming, vice president of business development at Whistler Blackcomb. â€œWeâ€™re very pleased that the Garbanzo trails are good to go so early. There is minimal snow up there and crews expect to get most of the trails open for the weekend. Although some sections of some trails are still a bit wet and soft from the snow melt, the overall conditions are excellent for this time of year.â€ <br />

          <pubDate>Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:17:57 +0000</pubDate>
          <description><![CDATA[Elisabeth Ruttkay, geborene Kiss, kam am 18. Juni 1926 in Pecs (F&#252;nfkirchen) in Ungarn zur Welt und starb am 25. Februar 2009 in Wien im Alter von 82 Jahren. <br />
<br />
Sie erwarb sich gro&#223;e Verdienste um die Erforschung der j&#252;ngeren Steinzeit (Neolithikum) und der Bronzezeit in &#214;sterreich. F&#252;r ihre wissenschaftlichen Leistungen wurde sie 1987 mit dem "F&#246;rderungspreis Nieder&#246;sterreichs" und 1988 mit dem "&#214;sterreichisches Ehrenkreuz f&#252;r Wissenschaft und Kunst" ausgezeichnet. <br />
<br />
1944 legte Elisabeth Ruttkay die Matura (Abitur) ab. 1955 absolvierte sie die Lehramtspr&#252;fung und erhielt das Diplom an der Universit&#228;t Budapest. 1956 fl&#252;chtete sie nach &#214;sterreich, wo sie fortan lebte und 1961 die &#246;sterreichische Staatsb&#252;rgerschaft erhielt. <br />
<br />
Von 1962 bis 1968 arbeitete Elisabeth Ruttkay  am "Burgenl&#228;ndischen Landesmuseum Eisenstadt" und von 1968 bis 1992 an der Pr&#228;historischen Abteilung des "Naturhistorischen Museums Wien". Dort promovierte sie 1979 zum Doktor der Philosophie. <br />
<br />
Nach dem Tod ihres ersten Ehemanns heiratete Elisabeth Ruttkay 1983 den Philosophen Dr. Tibor Hanak, einen der Chefredakteure von "Radio Freies Europa". Seit 1992 ist Elisabeth Ruttkay im Ruhestand. <br />
<br />
Elisabeth Ruttkay hat eine Kulturstufe der Jungsteinzeit herausgearbeitet und beschrieben (Bisamberg-Oberpullendorf-Gruppe, 1976) und zwei weitere andeutungsweise aufgestellt (M&#246;dling-Z&#246;bing-Gruppe, 1973, und Herzogenburg-Gruppe, 1981). Auch einer Kulturstufe der Bronzezeit, der Attersee-Gruppe, gab sie 1981 den Namen. <br />
<br />
Au&#223;er vielen wissenschaftlichen Publikationen leistete Elisabeth Ruttkay erhebliche Beitr&#228;ge zu den popul&#228;rwissenschaftlichen B&#252;chern "Deutschland in der Steinzeit" (1991) und "Deutschland in der Bronzezeit" (1996) des Wiesbadener Wissenschaftsautors Ernst Probst. In der Fachwelt war sie wegen ihres enormen Wissens und ihrer gro&#223;en Hilfsbereitschaft sehr beliebt. <br />
<br />
Kurzbiografien von Elisabeth Ruttkay sind in den B&#252;chern "Deutschland in der Steinzeit", "Deutschland in der Bronzezeit" und "Superfrauen 5 - Wissenschaft" von Ernst Probst nachzulesen.<br />
<br />
Eine Liste der Publikationen von Elisabeth Ruttkay findet man unter der Internetadresse<br />

          <pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:03:10 +0000</pubDate>
          <description><![CDATA[Do you feel like you are in a binary discussion on some topic, that goes back and forth with no apparent progress? Do you feel you have gotten so involved in a micro topic, that you feel that you may be missing the big picture? Is perhaps the phantasy of such a big picture you have taken as your background, itself the cause of the problem you are dealing with?  Do you find yourself preaching that God is dead, or not? Are you preaching? Why?<br />
Peter Sloterdijk, one of the most famous contemporary German philosopher, is known to write very large books that span over all domains of human activity from philosophy to history, to technology, aesthetics, biology, religion and economics, in a passionate, often humorous, sometimes jolting way, linking these in a fluid narrative that flows healthily through the barriers of all academic disciplines. Sloterdijk diffuses dualisms through fluid depth of analysis, carefully linking both sides of a debate in such a way that they can be seen to be part of the same surface reflecting a third party that had not yet been seen, the real topic of the discussion perhaps, of which he goes on to draw the history and evolution.<br />
So in his latest book "Du mu&#223;t dein Leben &#228;ndern" ("You must change your life"), which I have nearly finished reading here in Vienna, Sloterdijk starts off with the a beautiful poem by Rilke of the same title (english translation with german original here ) where Rilke describes what could be called a religious call for transformation whilst looking at an ancient Greek stone torso of Apollo he had come across in the Louvre museum in Paris. The undeniable reality of this upward sentiment of transformation, is what Sloterdijk then goes on to describe the history of throughout his book, linking it to the exercises that Olympic athletes of our times to always further push back the boundaries of what humanity is capable of, which he then traces back to the budhist philosophers and their spiritual exercises,  the ancient greek schools of thought, and the exercises the early Christians followed to break through the barriers of death, by for example entering the Roman circus' to be devoured calmly by Lions. This pursuit of transcendental improvement can then be found to have moved from the monasteries of the middle ages into the artisans workshops where the practices of meditation were put to use in the building of the Protestant work ethic...<br />
<br />
For those who speak German here is a very interesting interview of him in October of last year on a Swiss television channel talking about the financial meltdown that occurred.<br />

          <pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2009 14:30:32 +0000</pubDate>
          <description><![CDATA[Wiesbaden (fossilien-news) &#8211; Der &#8222;Fossilienhandel Otto&#8220; in Wiesbaden pr&#228;sentiert ein ungew&#246;hnlich gro&#223;es Angebot an Z&#228;hnen und Knochen von H&#246;hlenb&#228;ren (Ursus spelaeus) aus dem Eiszeitalter in seinem Onlineshop unter der Adresse http://www.fossilien-onlineshop.net im Internet. Dabei handelt es sich vor allem um Originalfunde aus Rum&#228;nien aus einer alten Sammlung mit einem geologischen Alter von etwa 30.000 bis 40.000 Jahren.<br />
<br />
Besonders eindrucksvoll sind bis zu 12,1 Zentimeter lange Rei&#223;z&#228;hne von H&#246;hlenb&#228;ren. Die angebotenen Mahlz&#228;hne sind bis zu 4,7 Zentimeter lang, die Schneidez&#228;hne bis zu 5,8 Zentimeter. Beim Erhaltungszustand ist alles vertreten, sagt Stefan Otto, der Betreiber des Onlineshops. So gibt es preisg&#252;nstige Mahl- und Schneidez&#228;hne bereits ab 2 Euro, preisg&#252;nstige Rei&#223;z&#228;hne schon ab 14 Euro.<br />
<br />
Wer etwas tiefer in die Tasche greift, bekommt f&#252;r sein Geld auch sehr gro&#223;e und besonders gut erhaltene Exemplare. So reichen die Preise f&#252;r Mahl- und Schneidez&#228;hne f&#252;r die Topst&#252;cke bis zu 20 Euro, die der imposanten Eckz&#228;hne bis zu 50 Euro. Neben Z&#228;hnen vom H&#246;hlenb&#228;r bietet der &#8222;Fossilienhandel Otto&#8220; auch Kieferbruchst&#252;cke mit Mahlz&#228;hnen, Krallenknochen und einen kompletten Fingerknochen an.<br />
<br />
Der H&#246;hlenb&#228;r war wie der n&#228;chste heute lebende Verwandte, der Braunb&#228;r (Ursus arctos), ein Allesfresser. Mit einer Schulterh&#246;he von 1,70 Meter und einer L&#228;nge von 3,50 Metern war er allerdings deutlich gr&#246;&#223;er als dieser. Knochenfunde von H&#246;hlenb&#228;ren geh&#246;ren zu den h&#228;ufigeren Funden aus dem Eiszeitalter. <br />
<br />
Das Angebot des &#8222;Fossilienhandel Otto&#8220; umfasst auch Z&#228;hne von Dinosauriern, kleine Saurier (Branchiosaurier), Fische und Insekten.]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[Wiesbaden (wissenschafts-news) &#8211; Der &#8222;Fossilienhandel Otto&#8220; in Wiesbaden pr&#228;sentiert ein ungew&#246;hnlich gro&#223;es Angebot an Z&#228;hnen und Knochen von H&#246;hlenb&#228;ren (Ursus spelaeus) aus dem Eiszeitalter in seinem Onlineshop unter der Adresse http://www.fossilien-onlineshop.net im Internet. Dabei handelt es sich vor allem um Originalfunde aus Rum&#228;nien aus einer alten Sammlung mit einem geologischen Alter von etwa 30.000 bis 40.000 Jahren.<br />
<br />
Besonders eindrucksvoll sind bis zu 12,1 Zentimeter lange Rei&#223;z&#228;hne von H&#246;hlenb&#228;ren. Die angebotenen Mahlz&#228;hne sind bis zu 4,7 Zentimeter lang, die Schneidez&#228;hne bis zu 5,8 Zentimeter. Beim Erhaltungszustand ist alles vertreten, sagt Stefan Otto, der Betreiber des Onlineshops. So gibt es preisg&#252;nstige Mahl- und Schneidez&#228;hne bereits ab 2 Euro, preisg&#252;nstige Rei&#223;z&#228;hne schon ab 14 Euro.<br />
<br />
Wer etwas tiefer in die Tasche greift, bekommt f&#252;r sein Geld auch sehr gro&#223;e und besonders gut erhaltene Exemplare. So reichen die Preise f&#252;r Mahl- und Schneidez&#228;hne f&#252;r die Topst&#252;cke bis zu 20 Euro, die der imposanten Eckz&#228;hne bis zu 50 Euro. Neben Z&#228;hnen vom H&#246;hlenb&#228;r bietet der &#8222;Fossilienhandel Otto&#8220; auch Kieferbruchst&#252;cke mit Mahlz&#228;hnen, Krallenknochen und einen kompletten Fingerknochen an.<br />
<br />
Der H&#246;hlenb&#228;r war wie der n&#228;chste heute lebende Verwandte, der Braunb&#228;r (Ursus arctos), ein Allesfresser. Mit einer Schulterh&#246;he von 1,70 Meter und einer L&#228;nge von 3,50 Metern war er allerdings deutlich gr&#246;&#223;er als dieser. Knochenfunde von H&#246;hlenb&#228;ren geh&#246;ren zu den h&#228;ufigeren Funden aus dem Eiszeitalter. <br />
<br />
Das Angebot des &#8222;Fossilienhandel Otto&#8220; umfasst auch Z&#228;hne von Dinosauriern, kleine Saurier (Branchiosaurier), Fische und Insekten.]]></description>
