	His goal: to unravel the origins of life - The Boston Globe
		Jack Szostak, a professor of genetics at Harvard University and a researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital, is exploring the origins of life by trying to recreate the first sputterings of evolutionary biology in a test tube.
		As a participant in Harvard's ``Origins of Life in the Universe" initiative, Szostak is one of many researchers from fields as diverse as astronomy and biology working together to unveil the mysteries of what happened on earth four billion years ago.
		Originally from Ottawa, Szostak studied cellular biology at McGill University in Montreal before moving to Cornell University in New York for graduate studies in biochemistry.

		Origins, the "national adventure game convention" (meaning the Midwestern-regional hobby games convention), was founded in 1975 by the Boys from Baltimore, the management of The Avalon Hill Game Company.
		Origins was predated, by some years, by GenCon, originally named for Lake Geneva, where it was located, and originally a fan-run convention.
		In the early days, Origins was larger than GenCon, which was still a small regional; once D&D boomed, however, TSR took over GenCon, made it their house convention, and turned it into the largest such thing in the game industry.

	Glenstal Abbey School
		The Glenstal Abbey Scholarship is to be awarded on an annual basis to a student for the duration of his secondary schooling in Glenstal.
		The award will be made to a candidate who displays an enthusiasm to develop his potential as much for others as for himself, and who would not, in the absence of the award, be in a position to attend the School.
		Although the criteria outlined above are necessary prerequisites to any successful application, the scholarship is an award and like any award will be as much about recognizing the achievements of the successful applicant to date in all aspects of their lives as what they are going to do in the future.

		This confusion is compounded by the Origins Award Committee's decision to extend their deadline specifically for products to re-admit under this exception.
		However, the Origins Award committee has chosen to rule that a d20 game is exempt from this rule.
		We regret the Origins Award Committee's decision to include books dependent on others to be considered as Best Roleplaying Game, which can only serve to confuse voters, and in turn will fail to properly acknowledge excellence in hobby and game publishing.

		I enjoyed this year's awards, but certain elements of the proceedings made it clear to me that major changes must occur soon for the awards to maintain any sort of relevance whatsoever.
		I was explaining my dissatisfaction with this year's winners to my wife, and the "controversy" over the awards, and she found the idea of said controversy within our geekly little niche hobby pretty hilarious.
		Frankly, one of the reasons I stopped caring about the Origins awards was that weighting...when five of six nominees in one catagory are all from the same company, it pretty much eliminates any meaning for that award.

	Harvard University Press: The Cultural Origins of Human Cognition by Michael Tomasello
		Michael Tomasello is one of the very few people to have done systematic research on the cognitive capacities of both nonhuman primates and human children.
		The Cultural Origins of Human Cognition identifies what the differences are, and suggests where they might have come from.
		Tomasello argues that the roots of the human capacity for symbol-based culture, and the kind of psychological development that takes place within it, are based in a cluster of uniquely human cognitive capacities that emerge early in human ontogeny.
