This is Broken:After years of suffering, trouble and pain I finally fixed my keyboard. I will never ever again touch the Caps Lock accidentally. The harassment's over.

Isn't the Caps Lock key one of the most annoying things on every keyboard? I think I can honestly say I have NEVER used this key purposely in the past 15 or 20 years.

Snowsuit: Insert is your white-trash neighbor. It?s surrounded by hall-of-fame keys: Backspace and Delete ? the very Bread & Butter of the computing world. Backspace and Delete are great neighbors. They keep things tidy and don?t let their un-neutered cat roam around the neighborhood.

Why, for instance, did US forces decide to bomb the Husseins' hideout, thereby losing the opportunity to capture and interrogate them, and perhaps find Saddam sooner? "All traditional news channels can do is ask the questions," says Keith Halper, CEO of the New York-based news-cum-games service. "What we did was get on-the-ground photos, satellite images and so on to model the building exactly. You put that all together, provide all the info for the user to consider the alternatives, to see the place as the soldiers there did, and then you perhaps understand why they didn't storm the building, how it could have meant a lot of troops getting shot...

"We live between being the news and being a game," adds Halper. "We wanted to put people in the middle of situations they read about or see on TV so as to better understand them. People submerge themselves in games, so they're important in terms of the emotional perspective they can offer. And to win them you need a grasp of the strategic detail that is often hard to grasp when presented through normal news channels. This is a potentially very powerful adjunct to traditional media."

It was claimed that German scientists created the specimen in the 1890s and sent it to the Natural History Museum in order to dupe their British counterparts.

But, the story went, the museum had dismissed it as a hoax and it had been spirited away by a museum porter.

In fact the dragon was created by Crawley Creatures, the model makers behind TV's Walking with Dinosaurs, and the jar was made by a specialist glass blowing studio in the Isle of Wight.

Earth:The largest ocean wave ever recorded - a mammoth 170 metres high - has been documented off the tiny, low-lying Western Pacific nation of Palau. Two scientists studying seawater temperatures spotted the wave, which was entirely underwater.

Titan:"Waves grow to be up to seven times higher and longer than those on Earth," Ghafoor told SPACE.com. "However because of the lower gravity on Titan, waves on Titan will generally appear to move in slow motion."

It was about 35 years ago that Mr. Ben David first discovered the presence of the sea balls, the name he coined for the rarely seen cylindrical and round balls of varying sizes - an intricate composition of ocean debris, molded and knotted together by Nature's hand.

When dried they are lighter than tennis balls and fragile to the touch. In his collection Mr. Ben David has one oblong sea ball, approximately 18 inches in diameter. Like handcrafted artifacts, the seaweed, twigs, roots and eroded beach and sea grasses are entwined in a tight weave. Smaller samplings, made primarily of grass, are dense and perfectly round and become buoyant and are carried away by the surf.

Fishermen from Fraserburgh have caught one of the biggest fish ever netted in the Irish Sea. A ten feet monster tuna which could provide 3,000 cans was caught 70 miles south west of Ireland.

Yet how to deal with hypochondria, a disorder that afflicts one of every 20 Americans who visit doctors, has been one of the most stubborn puzzles in medicine. Where the patient sees physical illness, the doctor sees a psychological problem, and frustration rules on both sides of the examining room.

Recently, however, there has been a break in the impasse. New treatment strategies are offering the first hope since the ancient Greeks recognized hypochondria 24 centuries ago. Cognitive therapy, researchers reported last week, helps hypochondriacal patients evaluate and change their distorted thoughts about illness. After six 90-minute therapy sessions, the study found, 55 percent of the 102 participants were better able to do errands, drive and engage in social activities. Antidepressant medications, other studies indicate, are also proving effective.

Dacre versus Campbell But if [Dacre] doesn't have much time for Mr Morgan, it is as nothing compared to his detestation for Alastair Campbell.

This is one of the great vendettas. Think Montague v Capulet, Heseltine against Thatcher, Godzilla versus King Kong. In no case do you care very much who wins, but it isn't half fun watching the battle.

Incredibly witty and funny, you have a taste for irony in all that you see. It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense
of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You could coin a phrase that replaces the word "paradox" for millions of people.

Guardian: In a series of short, bright chapters, Ball mines the specialist journals to provide the very latest applications of "social physics" to urban planning, the movement of pedestrians and motor traffic, stock price movements, trade, the rise and fall of corporations, diplomacy, political alliances, voting patterns, the composition of city neighbourhoods, criminology, matrimony, the transmission of culture and fashion, circles of acquaintance, the internet, sexual epidemiology, weapons of mass destruction. It soon becomes clear that this is not physics, but something that only looks and sounds and tastes and smells a bit like physics.

Independent: The logical problems upon which the classical political economists went to work have largely been resolved or sidelined. The pressing questions at the beginning of the 21st century - among them the way that we approach risk, the state of the environment, the progress of globalisation and the effects of the politics of human rights - are very different, but just as prone to riddle and wrong-headedness. Ball's search for a "social physics" is a rousing call-to- arms, and an elegant answer to the shallow tradition of British empiricism, for whom everything beyond the immediately observable comes as an uninvited surprise.
