From the page: "Sleeping found to reduce mistakes in memory, according to a first-of-its-kind study led by a cognitive neuroscientist at Michigan State University. While previous research has shown that sleep improves memory, this study is the first to address errors in memory."

Dr. Rogers, Dr. David Iltis and Dr. Stephen Wooding have got lost inside their own scientific findings; they've provided an explanation of skin colour variance after the initial process of hair loss in humans. While I don't doubt their research, this is after the fact and provides no explanation as to why we lost our hair in the first place. After all, why would evolution confer a restrictive non-mutating lock on genes responsible for darker skins tones if we still had hair? The former cannot be influenced by the latter. It seems far more likely to me that human hair loss was an adaptation to prevent continued infestation from skin parasites. Also, why can't all theories be true? It seems entirely feasible to me that all of those things could have happened. Mother Nature can (like most women are alleged to) multi-task, can she not?

From the page: "Research suggests only one in 50 deals are struck at a first meeting, yet many sales people give up after just one or two knock-backs. Perseverance will give you a major edge on competitors, says founder of Marketing Wizdom, Robert Clay"

From the page: "A group of scientists has now suggested that laughing can be detected in mammalian species as simple as rats." Let's face it, for the rats, being tickled beats being deliberately poisoned / infected, dying in agony and then being sliced open and having some human paw over your innards, any day of the week!

From the page: "Despite the fact that 99% of Generation Y consumers (ages 18-24) report having an active profile on at least one online social networking site, only 22% of this same age group say they currently use Twitter, according to a study from the Participatory Marketing Network (PMN)."

From the page: "It is, however, a little more complicated to explain. Wolfram|Alpha's tagline is 'Computational Knowledge Engine,' which reflects the fact that it consists of a gigantic database of facts -- math and scientific matters are a specialty, but it also knows about world history, geography, movies, music, stock prices, and a lot more -- and has a semantic understanding of the information therein."

From the page: "The scaffold could offer a potential new treatment for sports injuries and other cartilage damage, such as arthritis, says Lorna Gibson, the Matoula S. Salapatas Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and co-leader of the research team with Professor William Bonfield of Cambridge University."
