Watching Cartoons Eases Children's Pain
Kids' TV helps distract youngsters from minor medical procedures, study shows

By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 16 (HealthDay News) -- Bugs Bunny, Scooby-Doo and the Power Rangers might have a place in the doctor's office, a new study finds.

Researchers in Italy found that cartoons helped distract kids from the pain of minor medical procedures.


"We found that watching TV has an analgesic power, even greater than active distraction obtained by mothers' efforts," said lead author Dr. Carlo Bellieni, from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Le Scatte Clinic of the University of Siena.

S. Korean movies play on animosity

SEOUL -- Recent antagonisms between South Korea and its most important allies -- the United States and Japan -- play out in the summer 's two highest-profile movies here.
    The popularity of the films may reflect public attitudes after Seoul's reluctance to join Tokyo and Washington in taking a hard line toward Pyongyang over its nuclear program and missile tests.

Time to Think About Annex and Transfer

Drastic times, drastic solutions. I feel now is the perfect time for Israel to annex Gaza and the West Bank, and expel all Arabs. All Israelis must have the security of knowing that those in Gaza will no longer have the leisure of running into Israel and bombing or kidnapping hostages. The same type of pamphleting campaign, which warns of Israeli retaliations, should carry a new message. If Arabs insist on continued campaigns of terrorism and warfare against any Israeli territory - anywhere - then ten percent of Gaza will be taken back by Israel. Be specific - which village, which well, which mosque, which street to which street - and then do it the next time they test Israeli resolve.

Dvorak: Microsoft Should Dump Vista, Anoint a 'Code Pope'
Wednesday, July 26, 2006
By John C. Dvorak

Microsoft needs to back up and re-fork its OS development from Windows 2000 Professional or even Windows NT 4.0.

Then it needs to find a "pope" who can understand the code base. Let me explain.

Fiction-filled computer code mystery peppered with 'ancient' puzzles

Consider it Carnegie Mellon University's version of "The DaVinci Code" or "Indiana Jones" flicks, but with computer codes and puzzles replacing villains and rolling boulders.

CMU's heralded Computer Science Department was chosen this year to create a contest for the ninth annual programming contest of the ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming to be held Sept. 18-20 in Portland, Ore.

Each year, the contest attracts computer scientists worldwide to compete for supreme bragging rights -- and a token cash prize -- in writing computer programs, solving computer problems and making their trusty computers operate more efficiently than their competitors'.

But this year, CMU created a contest that raised the bar, or should one say "cursor," along with some eyebrows. It's no surprise considering that U.S. News & World Report this year ranked CMU's doctoral program in computer science and its programming languages group as the nation's best.

A team of three doctoral students and one undergraduate computer scientist worked six months to produce a movie-like plot involving a fictional ancient codex and Rosetta stone.

Participants then had 72 hours, from noon July 21 to noon July 24, to use scant clues to solve the codex to activate a fictional ancient computer, which in turn was used to help solve eight puzzles. Many teams worked around the clock for three days to try solving the puzzles.



But by the reactions CMU received, most computer scientists reveled in the challenge and praised CMU's talent and programming gumption.

"The ICFP contest is always a great event, but this year's version really stood out," said Tom Duff, a pioneering developer at Pixar Animation Studios. "Most years the contest revolves around a really complex, quirky, optimization puzzle, but this year we got a double handful of moderately complex puzzles, which makes a better contest.

"The presentation was stunning and hilarious," he said. "It was like a scavenger hunt in a virtual 'Lost World' populated by antediluvian computer scientists."
