			<description><![CDATA[<img title="" alt="" src="http://talentdevelop.com/images/brainscan3.jpg" align="left" border="0" vspace="5" width="78" height="80" hspace="11"/>As a neurosurgeon, I don't normally slice brains open, right down the middle, so this will give me a different perspective. With pathologist Robert Reichard and Rex Jung, a psychologist at the
MIND Institute who studies creativity, we head to the dissection room. When looking for creativity inside a human brain, the first thing you notice is -- nothing unusual. Most scientists say that current brain imaging technology doesn't tell you much more. But Jung and his colleague Dr. Richard Haier of the University of
California, Irvine, claim they are on the verge of refining imaging
techniques to a point that would make traditional intelligence tests
obsolete.]]></description>

Often it seems as though American higher education exists only to
provide gag material for the outside world. 

      
      The
latest spectacle is an Ivy League professor threatening to sue her
students because, she claims, their "anti-intellectualism" violated her
civil rights.<br/> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[
Highly intelligent, talented students need special programs to keep
them engaged and challenged. 

      
      But
experts say too often they aren't even identified -- especially in
low-income and minority schools.<br/> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<img title="" alt="" src="http://talentdevelop.com/images/TWoods.jpg" align="left" border="0" height="99" hspace="11" vspace="5" width="81"/>A sober look at any field shows that the top performers are rarely more gifted than the also-rans, but they almost invariably outwork them. This doesn't mean that some people aren't more athletic or smarter than others. The elite are elite partly because they have some genetic gifts - for learning and hand-eye coordination, for instance - but the very best rise because they take great pains to maximise that gift.<br/> ]]></description>

			<link>http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/527/1/Nerds---the-book/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[To child psychologist David Anderegg, the nerd stereotype is not just a fleeting playground obstacle. It represents a particularly American strain of anti-intellectualism that has plagued the culture since Ralph Waldo Emerson endorsed the idea that Americans were &#8220;men of action, not men of reflection.&#8221;<br/> ]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Gifted Adults]]></title>
			<link>http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/481/1/Gifted-Adults/Page1.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[By Cheryl M. Ackerman, Ph.D. -- In
a society that largely considers gifted adults to be those who have
achieved some significance in their field, and which focuses almost all
of its attention (when it pays any at all) on gifted children, it is
challenging to think about gifted adults in other ways.

			<description><![CDATA[By Rebecca Wallace-Segall


-- Ben, 16,
heads to my creative writing lab to work on his heartfelt memoir about
his parents' bitter divorce. 
Alison, 15, rushes from her elite
private school in the Bronx to work on her short screenplay... Why, one might wonder,
do these kids need an extracurricular creative writing coach? 
The
answer is simple, though twisted: Their schools -- while touting
well-known athletic teams -- are offshoots of the "progressive
education" movement and uphold a categorical belief that "thought
competition" is treacherous.<br/> ]]></description>
