R&D engineer, technologist, and conceptual theorist Marshall Barnes has now published a digital article that completely invalidates the celebrated findings of Baylor College professor David M. Eagleman, showing the perception of time slowing down during a crisis event is a function of enhanced memory. First published in December of 2007 in the online journal PlosOne http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0001295 , the peer reviewed Does Time Really Slow Down During A Frightening Event? posited that anecdotal accounts of time slowing down for people during frightening events are simply a function of the brain recording the event in a richer, more detailed process, resulting in memories of things happening slower.

The response to the report across the Internet was mixed, even as media attention of the Eagleman report grew.

Mr. Broad Builds His Dream Museum

His latest project is the Broad Contemporary Art Museum, a new wing at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) that's billed as one of the largest spaces in the country devoted exclusively to contemporary art. "BCAM" debuted on Feb. 9 with a swanky on-site dinner party attended by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes, and a bit of headline-generating controversy worthy of a Hollywood premiere. The building opens to the public on Feb. 16.

Broad became a billionaire several times over by catering to the needs of post-World War II families. His first company, KB Home (KBH), is still among the nation's largest homebuilders. He also built Sun America, now a part of American International Group (AIG), into the nation's largest seller of annuities.

MOVIE REVIEW & LISTINGS

He has visions of being under the sea in a diving bell representing his locked-in state. In other moments he soars above his condition on the wings of his butterfly persona.

Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy) is making a nice transition from the small screen to the big, first with Knocked Up and now with 27 Dresses, a romantic comedy about a woman who has been a bridesmaid 27 times. Versatile James Marsden (X-Men, Hairspray, Enchanted) co-stars as the cynical wedding reporter who falls for her, and, as is the norm these days in romantic comedies, Judy Greer is the indispensible funny sidekick.
