Aug 18, 5:02pm: I sadly have very little time now for forum and general SU participation. I'm hoping this will change in the not-to-distant future.

Glossary of psychiatry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Jun 26, 11:52pm 1 review
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_psychiatry; "Knight's Move thinking a phenomenon similar to derailment of thought or loosening of associations, is characterized by odd, tangential associations between ideas that lead to disruptions in the smooth continuity of speech. The name for this disorder likely derives from the odd movement pattern of knights in the game of Chess."

The Sydney Morning Herald: national, world, business, entertainment, sport and t…: Jun 23, 3:09pm 7 reviews marine-biology
http://www.smh.com.au/news/environment/monsters-of-the-deep/2008/06/18/121377...; "Normally you would expect the rate of discovery of species in a habitat to level off when there are no more to be found, but with large sea creatures, the rates are still to level out, which suggests we have not found them all yet."

Penrose-Hawking singularity theorems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Jun 23, 1:58am 2 reviews science
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose-Hawking_singularity_theorems; "An interesting "philosophical" feature of general relativity is revealed by the singularity theorems. Because general relativity predicts the inevitable occurrence of singularities, the theory in a sense predicts its own breakdown at a finite time to the future."

Opponent process - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Jun 23, 12:24am 1 review
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opponent_process; "The color opponent process is a color theory that states that the human visual system interprets information about color by processing signals from cones and rods in an antagonistic manner. The three types of cones have some overlap in the wavelengths of light to which they respond, so it is more efficient for the visual system to record differences between the responses of cones, rather than each type of cone's individual response. The opponent color theory suggests that there are three opponent channels: red versus green, blue versus yellow, and black versus white [...]"

Primary color - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Jun 22, 11:39pm 1 review
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_color; "It would be incorrect to assume that the world 'looks tinted' to an animal (or human) with anything other than the human standard of three color receptors. To an animal (or human) born that way, the world would look normal to it, but the animal's ability to detect and discriminate colors would be different from that of a human with normal color vision. If a human and an animal both look at a natural color, they see it as natural; however, if both look at a color reproduced via primary colors, for example on a color television screen, the human may see it as matching the natural color, while the animal does not; in this sense, reproduction of color via primaries must be "tuned" to the color vision system of the observer."
