New Emergency Alert System To Ping Cellphones, Internet
(WSJ, AP)
WASHINGTON -- The government will soon be pinging cellphones and posting on Web sites to warn Americans of impending disasters as it updates its Cold War-era emergency alert system. By the end of next year, the Homeland Security Department expects to be able to send emergency alerts to cellphones, Internet sites and hand-held computers to reach as many people as possible before a catastrophe strikes, spokesman Aaron Walker said Tuesday. It also is seeking to transmit warnings on cable TV channels and satellite radio to supplement the government's long-tested but never-used national alerts on network channels and AM radio stations.

Backs to the Future
Aymara Language and Gesture Point to Mirror-Image View of Time
By Inga Kiderra
Tell an old Aymara speaker to “face the past!” and you just might get a blank stare in return – because he or she already does.
New analysis of the language and gesture of South America’s indigenous Aymara people indicates a reverse concept of time.
Contrary to what had been thought a cognitive universal among humans – a spatial metaphor for chronology, based partly on our bodies’ orientation and locomotion, that places the future ahead of oneself and the past behind – the Amerindian group locates this imaginary abstraction the other way around: with the past ahead and the future behind.
