Link Soup: October. What's cooking (in the world)

Interesting reads and sights that didn't get broad attention in the mainstream press:

Durrell's vontsira - a novel carnivore species discovered on
Madagascar. And a cute one! (Big pictures here.)

The Guardian about Jon Stweart, who misses an imaginary Hero-Obama.

Ingrid Betancourt about her time in captivity.

People (and politicians) do what's best for them - even if that isn't immediately obvious: Elizabeth Pisani's TED talk.

NELL - the never-ending learning system learns about semantics.
A 15-minute interview with CMU Machine-Learning professor Tom
Mitchell, whose team created this.
