Finally, CBS Admits the Problem 09/20/2004 03:10 PM

Reuters: CBS Says It Was Misled Over Bush Military Memos. "Based on what we now know, CBS News cannot prove that the documents are authentic, which is the only acceptable journalistic standard to justify using them in a report," CBS News said in a statement. "We should not have used them. That was a mistake, which we deeply regret."

This begins to undo the damage. Now it's time for CBS to tell us what happened. For starters, the network needs to tell the world exactly how it got the memos, and much more. It needs to launch a 60 Minutes-like investigation of the entire episode -- from the creation of the forgeries all the way through their airing on TV -- to expose the tricksters and explain how other people got fooled. The "confidential sources" who gave them this stuff don't deserve continued protection, as far as I can tell. Lift the veil. Do I think Dan Rather and the producers of the show were in on the fraud? No. But they now have an obligation to lay this thing bare. The future credibility of CBS depends on it.

Sulfnbk Syndrome, Media Consumption, and
the Dry Run that Wasn't 07/24/2004 09:20 AM
Remember when emails were flying around about the sulfnbk.exe virus? It began on the internet, spread like wildfire, and eventually made it all the way to the cable news channels. It turned out, of course, sulfnbk.exe wasn't a virus. It's a program that backs up long filenames created by Windows, but few people bothered to look it up before deleting it. As a result, the more unfortunate victims were puzzled to find some DOS programs had rendered many of their file names illegi~1. Less a computer proficiency deficiency than an aversion to independent thought, the sulfnbk syndrome seems to repeat itself with unfailing consistency. The story you're about to read is just the latest permutation.

Bigfoot in Oklahoma

"No muzzle, no tail. Just boing, boing, boing."

Oklahoma Hospitality

Oklahoma Hospitality 04/09/2004 04:11 PM

About halfway across the country now in Oklahoma City.  The general aviation airport here, Wiley Post, has an 8000' runway, longer than many of the major airports back East.Avgas is ridiculously cheap:  $2.20/gallon at the self-serv pumps.A quick drive in a brand-new Ford Taurus borrowed from the Millionair FBO brought me to the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, formerly the National Cowboy Hall of Fame.

The paintings by Albert Bierstadt, Russell, and Remington were fantastic as expected.  The outdoor koi pond underneath a statue of Buffalo Bill was a pleasant surprise.  The volunteer docents were a good source of entertainment.  For example, according to th e Death Penalty Institute of Oklahoma the state has the second highest per-capita rate of executions in the U.S.  This fact had come to the attention of some German tourists and they asked the volunteer how he could be happy living in a state that executed convicted criminals.  He responded "Different countries have different justice systems.  We Oklahomans execute murderers.  People in other countries execute their Jewish neighbors."

Just next door to the museum is County Line Barbecue.  After serving up some brisket and black-eyed peas, Terri explained how the old gun culture documented at the museum lives on today:  "Generally I don't shoot at animals but we get too many alligator turtles in the pond behind our house and I don't want them getting at my 3-year-old daughter."  What kind of gun works best for turtles?  "Oh I generally use a 12-gauge shotgun."  Isn't that rather unsporting?  "That way the turtle is divided up into lots of little pieces that sink to the bottom for the fish to eat and he doesn't go to waste."

Early bird syndrome linked to genetic
mutation

Early bird syndrome linked to genetic
mutation 03/31/2005 11:46 PM
David Pescovitz: In this week's issue of Nature, neuroscientists report that they've implicated a single gene mutation in Familiar Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome (FASPS), or "early bird syndrome." Often, people who have this condition have no choice but to crash in the early evening and wake up long before dawn. From National Geographic News:

"The net result is you can feel very isolated," (FASPS sufferer Susan) Middlebrook said. "Who wants to party at three in the morning? Nobody I know, and I'm not headed to the local bar to see who's still there." Instead, she quietly cleans the house, makes breakfast, or cuddles up with a book.

About three-tenths of a percent of the world's population lives like this, including two of Middlebrook's sisters, her daughter, and her mother. "Their whole clock is shifted," said Ying-Hui Fu, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco...

The researchers are not yet certain how the gene mutation works to shift people's sleep time. But laboratory experiments suggest mutation slows the activity of a protein called casein kinase I delta (CKIdelta). "The next step is to figure out why," Fu said.

RIP: Judy Scott, amazing sculptor with
Downs' Syndrome. 03/17/2005 03:56 AM
Xeni Jardin: In 2003 here on Boing Boing, Mark wrote:

"Judith Scott (born 1943), a fifty-five year old woman with Down's Syndrome, has spent the past ten years producing a series of totally non-functional objects which, to us, appear to be works of sculpture, except that the notion of sculpture is far beyond Judith's understanding. As well as being mentally handicapped, Judith cannot hear or speak, and she has little concept of language."

A friend of Boing Boing says, "I've just learned that she died last night."

We understand that a television segment about Ms. Scott's life and creative legacy may air soon on a network TV show. If so, we'll blog it here.
