News: Ga ga, goo, goo...bleh wah gwah blubby globby. Baby babbling studied
by scientists: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/01/science/social/01BABB.html
Comment: An interesting article on how scientists videotaped babies' faces
and analyzed the movement of their mouths when babbling. They concluded that
different parts of their brains were activated (the babies' brains, not the
scientists) when the babies were trying to form words as opposed to when the
babies were just humming or making random sounds.
Of course, some of us grow up and still never get the hang of activating our
brains at the same time that words come out of our mouths.

Comment - What could be more exciting than a game designed to teach managers
how to run a business meeting? Players participate in a series of meetings
with peers, superiors and subordinates, with the goal of resolving a crisis
or dealing with a problem. You can suggest solutions (chosen from a list) or
elicit ideas from others.
You must also deal with the constant threat of everyone agreeing to end the
meeting and go to lunch before anything gets done.
