Re: Happy new year.
Here is a little New Years present. Would have mentioned that we are the biggest terrorists but then they wouldn't have published it.
Looking forward to seeing you in March!

Very good piece. Here's some further statistics of some interest: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/01/14/are-all-terrorists-muslims-it-s-not-even-close.html.
Yeah, they wouldn't have published it. Look forward to seeing you in March — and on the screen! Always wanted to know a movie star.
Noam: One of the sessions during the (private) workshop in March is entitled Encoding and Generating Patterns: Language, Reasoning, and Creativity. Would you be willing to be one of the 4-5 people who speaks for 10 min or so to get discussion going? The tentative make-up of the session (only 2 of the speakers confirmed at this time) is given below. It would be great if you would do this.

Session 2: Encoding and Generating Patterns: Language, Reasoning, and Creativity
- Barbara Landau "Language, Maps, and the Patterns of Human Communication"
Noam Chomsky Title TBD

Noam.. I haven't heard from you about this.. I assume you are ok with this?
