Giving License to Creativity: Our initial goal is to provide an easy way for people (like scholars, musicians, filmmakers, and authors--from world-renowned professionals to garage-based amateurs) to announce that their works are available for copying, modification, and redistribution. We are building a Web-based application for dedicating copyrighted works to the "public domain," and for generating flexible, generous licenses that permit copying and creative reuses of copyrighted works.

Language is a uniquely human trait likely to have been a prerequisite for the development of human culture. The ability to develop articulate speech relies on capabilities, such as fine control of the larynx and mouth, that are absent in chimpanzees and other great apes.

FOXP2 is the first gene relevant to the human ability to develop language.

1. It didn't have Lo Pan in it.
That's right. I'm talking about the perpetuator of ass kicking himself, Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China: one of the best movies ever made. Lo Pan, for those of you who are adept at depriving yourselves of things that rule, is an evil war lord cursed to roam the world in spirit form.

Man has sex with horse while high on Ecstasy. Gets videotaped and will spend 18 months in prison, and has to register as a sex offender. USA! USA !

GULFPORT - A Gulfport man will spend the next 18 months in prison for having sexual intercourse with a horse.

Carl Patrick Brown, 30, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Harrison County Circuit Court to a charge of having intercourse with a horse. Prosecutors said the owner of the mare caught Brown in May 2001 on videotape. The tape would have been used at trial.

Brown must register as a sex offender when he is released from prison because the offense is considered a sex crime in Mississippi. Brown, who said he had used the drug ecstasy when he committed the crime, will be on probation for five years after his release.

The police log from beautiful Arcata, CA, in the heart of Humboldt County. Unbelievably funny.

-- snippets --

Sunday, July 7 9:33 p.m.
At the trailer park
As grown-ups shared fisticuffs
A baby cried.

10:21 p.m. A husband-wife argument culminated with him barefoot at a clammy shopping center payphone, pleading with police to "take me away." An officer drove him back to the trailer and stood by while he picked up his stuff.

12:29 p.m. A man was assaulted from behind in what was described as an unprovoked attack at Ninth and H streets. A struggle ensued, falling far short of cinematic depictions of manly conflict, which generally involve heroic posturing, elegant choreography, well-aimed blows and a clear victor and vanquished. In reality, there was a lot of inconclusive grappling, grasping at clothing with heads down, garbled curses and swift encirclement by blue uniforms. A suspect was jailed, no one got the girl and civilization continues to be doomed by powerful evildoers.

3:19 p.m. If what police say is true, a young man attempted to take something from an I street cooperative supermarket that didn’t even belong to him. It gets worse. Evidently the lad has taken a very wrong turn and begun experimenting with marijuana. Right here. In our town.

What are the One Minute Speeches? Well, Representative Traficant would occasionally stand up and deliver these rants on the floor of the House. Sometimes the rants were exhortations in general to strengthen America's steel industry. Others, like the one about soccer violence, were more weblog-like rants with no clear political motivation -- just observations, apropos nothing.

...

Considering that Traficant was recently kicked out of congress for being a _crooked_ nutjob, you should see what sort of people we let into our government.. :)

THE INSIDE STORY OF THE MIT BLACKJACK TEAM'S CONQUEST OF THE CASINOS.

"I try to control my breathing as I stroll through Logan International Airport. Terminal C is buzzing and chaotic, an over-air-conditioned hive of college students escaping Boston for a long weekend. I am dressed like everyone else: baggy jeans, baseball hat, scuffed sneakers. But in my mind, I have as much chance of blending in as a radioactive circus clown. There's enough money hidden under my clothes to buy a two-bedroom condo. And to top it off, there's $100,000 worth of yellow plastic casino chips jammed into the backpack slung over my right shoulder."
