ABC News Medical Unit Sept. 14, 2006 Claudia Mitchell is the first "bionic woman."
When Mitchell thinks, "close your hand," her hand closes, even though she lost her hand and entire arm two years ago. Mitchell, a 26-year-old former Marine, lost her left arm in a motorcycle accident in 2004 and just received a bionic prosthesis from the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. She now has partial use of the arm that she lost - and she controls it with her thoughts. |

Thu Sep 14, 2006 WASHINGTON - The largest planet ever found orbiting another star is so puffy it would float on water, astronomers said Thursday. The newly discovered planet, dubbed HAT-P-1, is both the largest and least dense of the nearly 200 worlds astronomers have found outside our own solar system.
HAT-P-1 orbits one of a pair of stars in the constellation Lacerta, about 450 light-years from Earth. |

The Sunday Times September 10, 2006 GEORGE W BUSH has the lowest average IQ of all but one American president since the start of the 20th century, according to the estimates of psychological researchers.
He "is definitely intelligent . . . certainly smart enough to be president of the United States", says Dean Keith Simonton, a psychologist at the University of California. But his intellect falls below all other presidents of the past 110 years except Warren Harding, who was in the White House briefly in the 1920s and regarded as a failed president. Comment: Don't miss this part:
"Low scorers on integrative complexity can only see things from a single perspective - their own." |
