High-resolution scans pinpoint the exact part of the brain where Alzheimer's begins - and trace its spread

Scientist from Columbia University in New York made the discovery
They found the disease starts in the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC)
It is linked to the part of the brain where long-term memories are stored
Study also outlined how the disease spreads from the LEC to the rest of the brain

From the Internet to the iPod, technologies are transforming our society and empowering us as speakers, citizens, creators, and consumers. When our freedoms in the networked world come under attack, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is the first line of defense. EFF broke new ground when it was founded in 1990—well before the Internet was on most people's radar—and continues to confront cutting-edge issues defending free speech, privacy, innovation, and consumer rights today. From the beginning, EFF has championed the public interest in every critical battle affecting digital rights.

Believing in yourself is the greatest gift you can give yourself.
Your friends can be an elevator, or a cage.
The best investment you can make, is in yourself.
Suffering is the result of unfulfilled expectations.
Intentions are like seeds in our consciousness, with water and nurture, they will flower into existence. What thoughts, what seeds, are you nurturing?
What you feel is always right, however, the root of those feelings may be based on lies.
The meaning of life is not found in something other than life.
Your level of happiness is largely related to your level of intimacy with nature.
Life is dreaming with the brain awake.
Creatively expressing yourself is like making love to the universe.
Everything is a game, or a dance, life is the ultimate game, the ultimate dance.
Time is a real illusion.
When beauty is seen as beauty, there is ugliness.
When the mind is clear, a dark room has its blue sky.
Sometimes the best answer is silence.
We are not our bodies, we identify ourselves with our bodies, but in reality, we are the energy that moves through them.
When tired, sleep, when hungry, eat.
Division is only found in the mind, it is not present in reality.
Love and compassion can heal the deepest wounds.
An eye for an eye makes us all blind.
The greatest gift you can give someone is your time.
Practice makes the master, we are creatures of habit.
If you want to receive, give.
In life we have control over two things, what we think, and what we say.
Your perception of others is a reflection of your own reality.
If you believe you can, you can, if you believe you cannot, you cannot.
When you are true to yourself in all your actions, your life takes on a whole new level of joy you never thought possible.
Devotion is the supreme symbol of love.
Life’s worth is not defined by external success, but by your collection of experiences.
Everyone is an divine artist, writing their own story each day, choose to write your story with love.
The meaning of life is found in the present, it is found now.
Sometimes your joy comes from your smile.
Imagine how our lives could change if with every action we simply asked ourselves “is this what I want?”

Ars Technica was founded in 1998 when Founder & Editor-in-Chief Ken Fisher announced his plans for starting a publication devoted to technology that would cater to what he called "alpha geeks": technologists and IT professionals. Ken's vision was to build a publication with a simple editorial mission: be "technically savvy, up-to-date, and more fun" than what was currently popular in the space. In the ensuing years, with formidable contributions by a unique editorial staff, Ars Technica became a trusted source for technology news, tech policy analysis, breakdowns of the latest scientific advancements, gadget reviews, software, hardware, and nearly everything else found in between layers of silicon.

MOSCOW (AP) — Mikhail Kalashnikov, whose work as a weapons designer for the Soviet Union is immortalized in the name of the world's most popular firearm, died Monday at the age of 94.

Kalashnikov once aspired to design farm equipment. But even though his most famous invention — the AK-47 assault rifle — sowed havoc instead of crops, he often said he felt personally untroubled by his contribution to bloodshed.
