I was watching the Chiefs-Raider game on Monday night football.
Sometime during the third quarter, John Madden started talking about
injuries, rehabilitation, and comebacks. Marveling at the return from
what had looked like a career-ending injury by one of the Chiefs' running
backs, he

I've been asked to talk to a reporter for the local newspaper who's

in talking about why people get so into Halloween (making and

out of Halloween recently.

I often wondered this myself, but now, as a dad of a year-three-old,
I have to start playing the game! But the same goes for many such
traditions we celebrate (Easter, Thanksgiving, Xmas, Birthdays, etc., etc.).
Is it simply the strong transmission of cultural traditions that are

Hello tipsters,
I have been asked to give a talk on research done long, long ago. All of the graphs
and ERP traces were rendered back in the days before technology as we now know it. I
have very professional looking 'blue burn slides' to work with (anyone else out there
remember these
One idea: my scanner (at home, sorry I don't have the model, but it is an HP) has an
attachment that holds slides (and does the appropriate scanning color correction).
This makes graphic images, which could then be imported into a powerpoint (or other)
presentation.

I have a slide scanner at home--also an HP--which I use to convert slides to graphics.

PS--It cost me about $200 (if I remember correctly) and has been more than worth it.

Anybody interested in this topic ought to read Tufte's essay and see his
data (edwardtufte.com). In a nutshell, Tufte's gripes:
foreshortening of evidence and thought
low spatial resolution
deeply hierarchical single-path structure for all content

I just bought a scanner and even the lower end models ($100) came
with the slide attachment. As an aside, I'm returning the Microtek

I recently bought a scanner, and went with an Epson for two reasons: it came with
Adobe Photoshop Elements software (a pared-down version of Photoshop), and the strip
film holder was a better design than the one for the HP scanners. I've scanned a few
hundred slides and negatives in the last

Mine's dedicated and so it doesn't require a holder and allows for different
adjustments/cleanups. I do love it, and I already have Photoshop. I have scanned many,
many slides with it. My favorite use so far has been to scan hundreds of slides from
my childhood for my parents' 50th anniversary

that is bad science. Students should be allowed to make mistakes
