It hasn't been very often, if ever, in American history that the mother of the President of the United States was a scholar and an academic.  Congratulations to Duke University Press for publishing Against the Odds:  Village Industry in Indonesia, by the late S. Ann Dunham.  Duke U Press Editorial Director Ken Wissoker notes:  ?It is a great privilege for Duke University Press to be publishing this remarkable work by Ann Dunham.  Her global perspective and obvious respect for other people?s intelligence and self-direction is a model we all can learn from.

As part of Cathy Davidson's class, "This Is Your Brain on the Internet", at Duke University, we have been discussing the brain, its functionality, and its ability to adapt to changing circumstances and even traumatic situations. It is interesting to note that, despite our tendency to think linearly, our brain is actually processing everything in a massively parallel system.

Michael is just a really great communicator. I wish that more CS folks were like him...:) Even in something as serious as Illuminated manuscripts he finds a way to make things fun such as by callin the "Manuscripts Torture Chamber" to the room where they carefully manipulate the manuscripts - most (all?) from France and Belgium.
