Hobbits and hypotheses | Henry Gee :: All good tales should have a self-consistent back story. If they do, they are amenable to scientific investigation"Why?" If you have a toddler, this is a question that will assail your ears many, many times each day. Why is the sky blue? Why do people get old and die? Why am I here? To a person newly exposed to the world, everything is unfamiliar, and therefore deserving of explanation, even if the encrusted taboos of adulthood are broken in the asking. To a parent, who is old enough to have the luxury of taking everything for granted, it's infuriating. "Scientist" is a name we give to a person who has never really got beyond the toddler stage of inquiry. To a scientist, the world is still full of marvelous phenomena that demand explanation, and in which nothing should ever be taken for gr...

Longer Lives, Lower Incomes for Japanese Women :: When Hiroko Taguchi retired this past April, at the age of 64, from her job as an insurance sales agent, she joined the rapidly growing ranks of Japan's aging women who now outnumber their male counterparts.
Taguchi, a divorcee who lives alone, is heavily dependent on her pension to support what will likely be a lengthy retirement, given that women in Japan live, on average, about seven years longer than men. A survey conducted earlier this year by the Health and Welfare Ministry revealed that women account for 87.3 percent of Japan's record number of 50,000 centenarians.
"I am lucky I did not quit my job when I married, as was the norm for women of my age," Taguchi told IPS. Indeed, she is one of a very small number of women in Japan for whom old age is not synonymous with povert...

US CPI Flat In Dec, Up Just 1.7% In 2012 :: <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>U.S. consumer prices were flat in December and rose just 1.7% in 2012, the U.S. Labor Department<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm"> announced Wednesday.</a></p>
<p>That 1.7% rise for all of 2012 is down from a 3.0% increase in 2011 -- and it means inflation at the retail level remains within the U.S. Federal Reserve's "comfort zone."</p>
<p>What's more, that modest inflation should allow the Fed to maintain both quantitative easing and low, short-term interest rates in an effort to boost the sluggish U.S. economy.</p></div></div></div>

Longer Lives, Lower Incomes for Japanese Women :: When Hiroko Taguchi retired this past April, at the age of 64, from her job as an insurance sales agent, she joined the rapidly growing ranks of Japan's aging women who now outnumber their male counterparts.
Taguchi, a divorcee who lives alone, is heavily dependent on her pension to support what will likely be a lengthy retirement, given that women in Japan live, on average, about seven years longer than men. A survey conducted earlier this year by the Health and Welfare Ministry revealed that women account for 87.3 percent of Japan's record number of 50,000 centenarians.
"I am lucky I did not quit my job when I married, as was the norm for women of my age," Taguchi told IPS. Indeed, she is one of a very small number of women in Japan for whom old age is not synonymous with povert...
