„Wie
Wasser
ohne
Aufenthalt unter einer Brücke hindurchfließt,
so rinnt
das Geld
durch
die Hände
der Freien, ohne jemals
von ihnen
angehäuft
zu werden.“
(Ramakrishna,
indischer Weiser,
1834 – 1886)

Bayesian decision-making rules our unconscious. Bayesian statistical modelling is a tool used to compare new events to past experience, something useful for applications as diverse as predicting whether a message is spam and whether a Web-page is relevant to a given subject. New research indicates that we do a lot of Bayesian comparisons in our heads, particularily when engaged in athletic tasks:
"Most decisions in our lives are done in the presence of uncertainty," Dr. Körding said. "In all these cases, the prior knowledge we have can be very helpful. If the brain works in the Bayesian way, it would optimally use the prior knowledge."
The researchers drew the analogy to tennis in their paper, and it is not the first study to suggest that athletes have a more sophisticated understanding of mathematics than even they may realize.

State of the Union highlight. This was, hands-down, the best moment of last night's (infuriating) State of the Union address:
GW Bush: "Key provisions of the Patriot Act are set to expire next year."
Audience: [Applause]
GW: [Frowny face]

Churchill's parrot. Winston Churchill's 104-year-old parrot lives:
Charlie, who kept Churchill company during World War II, was famous for occasionally squawking four-letter obscenities about Hitler. But Martin told Reuters the bird has mellowed.
