• Bass River History Site (New Gretna, NJ).
• Bass River Township, NJ Blog.
• New Jersey Maritime Museum.
• Woman Guides Robot Arm With Thoughts. The Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh. I saw this on CBS's show 60 Minutes on December 30, 2012. Watch Video. It is one more expected and incredible step toward Ray Kurzweil's (see item below) predictions of silicon merging with human tissue. Wow!
• Raymond Kurzweil. Perhaps the most significant futurist thinker currently among us. Highly articulate books containing plausible predictions of the future, backed by an impressive track record of inventions and predictions with time lines, many that have already come true.
• Wolfram Alpha and Wolfram Alpha Pro. A computational knowledge engine. Brilliant! This is the computational engine behind Microsoft's Bing and Apple's Siri.
  TED Talk by Stephen Wolfram. Computing a theory of everything. (see link on TED Talks below).
  Also see: Stephen Wolfram's book: A New Kind of Science. It begins with cellular automata and evolves into a new approach to science. The year 2012 is the 10th anniversary of the book's publication. See It's Been 10 Years: What's Happened with A New Kind of Science?, Living a Paradigm Shift: Looking Back on Reactions to A New Kind of Science and Looking to the Future of A New Kind of Science.
  And now: Announcing Wolfram SystemModeler. Wolfram SystemModeler.

But in following Dr. Amen's career, I think he has left science behind for a lucrative capitalistic endeavor where science has been left behind for other unbiased researchers to prove or disprove.
• Zotero. Something to keep an eye on. It is early in development now, but it just may be the way of the future for handling references.
