The First Amendment's assembly and petition clauses--eviscerated by Big Money?
Martin Luther King addressed civil rights supporters in 1963, relying on First Amendment protection of the right to assemble.

But while the mall is a very public place in some senses, it is private property and hence not governed by the First Amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to impose on the owners of these public spaces the requirement to honor people's assembly and speech rights there (though they left the door open for states to find such a right in their own constitutions). When our lives in public are increasingly conducted in privatized space, are conventional understandings of "public" and "private" adequate for a democracy?A corporate colossus
Both these First Amendment freedoms illustrate the paradox of U.S. politics. On one hand, we have extensive formal guarantees of political freedoms that have been hard-won by dissidents and progressive political movements that pressed the courts and legislatures to expand the scope of freedom. But the concentration of wealth in corporate capitalism means that those formal freedoms--while never irrelevant--are increasingly less important in a world in which money is necessary to amplify our voices in mass media.
The distortion of a political process by our economic system is also obvious in the realm of the speech and press clauses of the First Amendment, where we face tough questions about how to counter the increasing concentration of media ownership in a shrinking number of corporations, and whether full First Amendment protection should extend to commercial advertising.
If First Amendment debates are to be productive--if they are to be part of a process that helps us re-energize a political system that an increasing number of people feel is irrelevant to their lives--we will have to come to terms with the inherent incompatibility of capitalism and democracy. The former is a wealth-concentrating system that also concentrates political power, while the latter is premised on the assumption of the diffusion of power.
To date, the Supreme Court has ignored this simple reality, as has most of U.S. society. Even the self-proclaimed guardian of freedom, the American Civil Liberties Union, has trouble thinking straight about the problems for democracy that capitalism creates.
But if the First Amendment is
It is unlikely they will confront the issue unless We the People force them to.

CAPE CORAL, Fla.- One of Cape Coral's longest serving firefighters will be retiring after 33 years of service.
Tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m., the station tones will announce the retirement of Lieutenant James Carroll, who began his career in November 1980 with the Cape Coral Fire Department. Carroll spent his final shift visiting the fire stations and fellow firefighters he worked with during a career spanning three decades.
Carroll ends his career the same way he started… surrounded by fellow firefighters as he went around to all the Cape Coral fire stations to visit one last time as a Lieutenant.
"You can't do anything alone," said Carroll as he sat around the table at Fire Station 10, his home away from home for the last 10 years. "The brothers and sisters take care of you. There are so many positive things that happen when they put their heads together. It's like family."
Carroll began his career at the old Fire Station 1 on Chester Street south of Cape Coral Parkway where he rode on the tailboard of the old fire engine.
"That was a lot of fun," he said laughing.
Through his career he has been in a variety of situations, including fighting a house fire during Hurricane Charley in 2004. He moved up through the ranks in the Department serving in a variety of assignments, but found being a Lieutenant on the streets most satisfying.
Lt. Carroll's roots in public safety run deep. His grandfather was a volunteer firefighter in Chicago. His father, Jim Carroll Sr., served as Assistant Police Chief with the Cape Coral Police Department after the family moved to Southwest Florida. Today, Carroll's son James Carroll III is a firefighter with Cape Coral Fire Department.

Diabetes Wellness Fair Benefits Entire Region
Middletown Regional Hospital's Diabetes Wellness Center, in conjunction with the Middletown Area Family YMCA, will host its sixth-annual Diabetes Wellness Fair Thursday, November 2, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Middletown Area Family YMCA, 1020 Manchester Avenue. The fair, which coincides with American Diabetes Month, is free and open to the public. It is made possible by generous contributions to the Mid-Miami Healthcare Foundation's Diabetes Community Outreach Program.
Blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol screenings will be offered, and representatives from various MRH departments will be on hand to discuss services available at MRH. Several organizations specializing in diabetes care also will be available to showcase their services and products. "We encourage everyone to stop by," said Carolyn Fogarty, director of the Diabetes Wellness Center. Everyone can benefit from information available at the fair, not just those with diabetes."
Because a number of other diseases are more visible or are discussed more frequently, diabetes has remained a "silent killer" through the years, according to Fogarty. The disease affects approximately 21 million Americans. Of those 21 million, more than six million are undiagnosed. In 2005, 1.5 million new cases of diabetes were diagnosed in people aged 20 years or older.
"In Butler and Warren counties alone, there are more than 34,000 residents with diabetes," explains Fogarty. "Nationally, a staggering 54 million people have pre-diabetes. These are the people who could prevent diabetes through education, exercise and healthy eating."
With treatment and proper care, individuals with diabetes can lead long, fulfilling lives. But, if diabetes is not managed properly, it can lead to complications, such as heart disease, stroke and blindness. Through diabetes education, early and aggressive treatment, weight reduction, cholesterol control and constant vigilance, the risk of complications can be dramatically reduced.

new studies about vegetarians - moved from General Chowhounding board
ok the way people here will respond to this may prove them right
several new studies have shown a link between high IQ in children and vegetarianism(not nessessarly veganism) in their adulthood me i like my meat but so i am not expressing any opinion here has anyone heard anything more
Where might one find information about these "several new studies"? It's hard for me to have an opinion about something when I don't know what that something is.
re: small h
Here's the study.
The study attempts to show a relationship between high IQ in CHILDHOOD with vegetarianism in ADULTHOOD. It appeared in the British Medical Journal in 2007.
BMJ. 2007 Feb 3;334(7587):245.
IQ in childhood and vegetarianism in adulthood: 1970 British cohort study.
Gale CR, Deary IJ, Schoon I, Batty GD.
Medical Research Council Epidemiology Resource Centre, University of Southampton, Southampton General Hospital, Southampton, SO16 6YD. email@example.com
OBJECTIVE: To examine the relation between IQ in childhood and vegetarianism in adulthood.
DESIGN: Prospective cohort study in which IQ was assessed by tests of mental ability at age 10 years and vegetarianism by self-report at age 30 years.
SETTING: Great Britain.
PARTICIPANTS: 8170 men and women aged 30 years participating in the 1970 British cohort study, a national birth cohort.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Self-reported vegetarianism and type of diet followed.
RESULTS: 366 (4.5%) participants said they were vegetarian, although 123 (33.6%) admitted eating fish or chicken. Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class (both in childhood and currently), and to have attained higher academic or vocational qualifications, although these socioeconomic advantages were not reflected in their income.
Higher IQ at age 10 years was associated with an increased likelihood of being vegetarian at age 30 (odds ratio for one standard deviation increase in childhood IQ score 1.38, 95% confidence interval 1.24 to 1.53).
IQ remained a statistically significant predictor of being vegetarian as an adult after adjustment for social class (both in childhood and currently), academic or vocational qualifications, and sex (1.20, 1.06 to 1.36).
Exclusion of those who said they were vegetarian but ate fish or chicken had little effect on the strength of this association.
CONCLUSION: Higher scores for IQ in childhood are associated with an increased likelihood of being a vegetarian as an adult.
Obviously, there are huge problems with the study.
The number of vegetarians in the study was 366 people, or 4.5% of 8170 people.
The number of true vegetarians was even less, 243 people, or 2.9% of 8170 people.
How was the IQ measured in children?
What test was given?
How accurate was the test?
A followup article published shortly after the study was published
said that the association between vegetarianism and IQ
was not about health, but about NONCONFORMITY.
"Non-conformity may be hidden driver behind [the] relation[ship]."
Kobe Millet and Siegfried Dewitte, BMJ 2007 334: 327-328.
Another followup article was titled
"Childhood intelligence and being a vegetarian"
Please note thay several statistics have since been corrected.
Marcus Richards, BMJ 2007 334: 216-217.
Finally, Dr. Ramakant Sharma, a physician in India, makes an excellent point in his rebuttal letter to BMJ when he ponts out that vegetarian cultures and countries
are not, as a whole, more intelligent than meat-eating countries.
In his letter he writes that "IQ has nothing to do with vegetarianism." Sharma said that 60% of his fellow Indians are vegetarians and they are not more intelligent than his Western counterparts who eat meat.
Sharma goes on to state that vegetarianism is a cultural phenomenon and it should be looked as that only. He gives the interesting statistic that in spite being vegetarians, Indians have a 7 times higher incidence of Coronary Artery Disease than Westerners.
re: maria lorraine
Thanks! Much as I would like to feel super-smart, as a fish-eating woman with high academic qualifications that are not reflected in my income, Dr. Sharma's response makes an awful lot of sense to me. And I share your suspicions about the IQ test itself. Standardized tests are a good measure of how well people perform on standardized tests. And not much else.
re: maria lorraine
>>He gives the interesting statistic that in spite being vegetarians, Indians have a 7 times higher incidence of Coronary Artery Disease than Westerners. <<<
wow, that's astonishing.
re: alkapal
Must be all that ghee
re: maria lorraine
The non-conformity bit makes sense to me.
re: maria lorraine
Well, the things that struck me strange in the report (as reported here) is that there was no "control group" of children with "average" IQs to compare incidence of vegetarianism, and it also bothered me that the implication of the way things are worded is that children with a high IQ may or may not grow up to be intelligent adults. I could go on, but I quickly concluded that those who wrote and published the study must be in one of those "Publish or Perish" career fields. Not exactly a font of wisdom.
re: Caroline1
Its a study of a large cohort in which differences showed up over time. Perfectly OK.
re: Sam Fujisaka
Right. That, and the differences that should have been obvious from the start. '-)
re: Caroline1
Yup. The starting point differences were defined by scores on standardized IQ tests. Monitoring of the stratified cohort over time found that there was a significant association between high early IQ testing and vegetarianism later in life. All legit!
re: Sam Fujisaka
I'm not saying it's not legit, Sam. And I am undoubtedly being something of a curmudgeon, but I don't like "data" passed to me in standard deviation format. I find it intellectually constipating.
But I did find this little morsel interesting: "Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class (both in childhood and currently), and to have attained higher academic or vocational qualifications, although these socioeconomic advantages were not reflected in their income." Is this a "glass ceiling" for women or for vegetarians? '-)
re: Caroline1
Standard deviations just tell you about the distribution of data around the mean. Although the statistical measures are OK, one would have to look at the study in more depth to be able to comment on the conclusions derived from the statistics.
re: Sam Fujisaka
Eggzackitally! Standard deviations are fluff.
re: Caroline1
Maybe you can be hired to deal with stuff like:
El Adlouni, Salaheddine and Taha B Ouarda. 2009. Joint Bayesian model selection and parameter estimation of the generalized extreme value model with covariates using birth-death Markov chain Monte Carlo. Water Resour. Res., Vol. 45, No. 6, W06403. http://dx.doi.org/10.1029/2007WR006427
re: Sam Fujisaka
They're wasting their time, Sam. EVERYONE knows that EVERYTHING is 6 degrees from Kevin Bacon! As long as no one messes with my quark in a jar, I'm a happy camper.
re: Caroline1
Tidbits from the study:
There was a difference of 5 points in the IQ between vegetarians vs. non-vegetarians.
No differences were found between strict vegetarians and those who consumed fish or chicken.
Vegans' IQ scores were nearly 10 points lower than other vegetarians.
Vegetarians were more likely -- as caroline1 mentioned --
to be female
to be of higher social class (both in childhood and currently), and
to have attained higher academic or vocational qualifications
Maybe it's just me, but this makes me want to ask all kinds of questions.
5 whole points?
No diff in IQ between vegetarians and those who ate fish or chicken?
So vegetarians are smarter than vegans?
What happened to the men?
Does a study of 366 people prove anything that is definitive worldwide?
Is this study more a reflection of cultural programming in Britain than intelligence? (like dr. sharma was saying)
Were the Brit IQ tests given in 1970 accurate?
Is the vegetarianism a reflection of IQ or nonconformity, or of familial or cultural or peer programming? Or does it reflect a concern about health or calories or some other thing?
And, like I said, maybe it's just me...
but anything that infers eating a certain way makes someone smarter or better or more ethical makes me wanna scream.
The complete study (.pdf file) can be downloaded here:
re: maria lorraine
A causal relationship was not claimed. There was an association between high childhood IQ testing and adult vegetarianism. The study had nothing to do with eating something making you smarter. Your further queries are all good; and the researchers probably thought about all of the same things in order to explain that association. As to the five point difference, that is a simple statistical question as to if it represents a significant (i.e., non-random) difference.
re: maria lorraine
'Scuze me while I say a few swear words. I had a longish, well-reasoned response written and hit the wrong key and it's now floating somewhere in cyberspace. Sh*t...!!!!
Okay. Calm yourself, Caroline.
Five points difference in IQ scores is ridiculous, and a good example of why I don't like results for any study disclosed by "standard deviation". Five fishes to feed a crowd is impossible to anyone except Jesus, but five IQ points is insignificant! "Standard deviation" can be used to obscure questionable conclusions, and I think that's the case here.
The thing that many people, including academics and researchers, don't seem to fully understand is that one's IQ is NOT an inflexible state. I can teach anyone with an IQ above 90 and older than four how to raise their IQ score by five points in a week or two. Some can learn in hours.
One's IQ fluctuates all through the day, as well as all through life. It's not a huge fluctuation (short of serious brain injury), but it does fluctuate. There are tons of factors that impact on how well or poorly one does on an IQ test. Things such as anxiety level, how rested they are, whether they have been listening to specific types of classical music (pastoral music doesn't work as well as a toccata, for example) just prior to the test, whether they are really hungry or really full, do they need to go to the bathroom? All sorts of things have an impact, and some can modify the end score of the test by 5 IQ points easily.
And then there is the thing that few take into consideration: An IQ score ONLY identifies the smart people who get the answers within the time frame. NO points given to those smart people who come up with 100% of the correct answers AFTER the bell rings! There is a Nobel Laureate in Medicine (names are my Waterloo!) who is quite proud of his 115 IQ. And rightfully so. On the other hand, I have an exceptional IQ, but no Nobel Prize! But he, with his Nobel Prize, or I, with my exceptional IQ, can get ourselves cup of coffee for around five bucks at any Starbuck's on the planet. Well, if they know who he is, more likely his coffee will be comped. Oh, and for the record, I consider my IQ my primary birth defect. Any time you're born with something outside the norm, it is technically a birth defect and can work as a handicap.
So back to an opinion I voiced above: This test looks like the work of "Publish or Perish" academicians and researchers. Or as Shakespeare put it, "Much Ado About Nothing."
re: Caroline1
Again standard deviation is simply a measure of distribution around the mean. Deciding whether or not five points is significant is a done using simple statistics, not by opinion. Significance simply says that something observed was not a random difference. All the research said is that there is an association between high childhood IQ testing and adult vegetarianism. What the result means can be debated; and that may have been the reason for publishing - to stimulate possibly usefull discussion, including the validity of IQ tests. But there is no need to criticize statistics and statistical analyses: all publications have to show the statistics used and how inferences or conclusions were drawn. Others who are interested can easily check if the stat analysis was done properly.
re: Caroline1
Hey, buddy! It must be hot and high summer in Plano. Turn on the aircon because:
I'm not attacking or arguing with you at all. The study in question may be seriously flawed. All I'm saying is that the statistics probably are not. What one infers from the statistics is another question. Stats are a way of dealing with often small differences that are quantitatively continuous but often patterned around a mean. How variable that distribution is and how much is clustered around the mean gives you the SD or coefficient of variance. Statistical significance simply means that an observed patterns was not random at specified confidence levels. Simple, innocent statistics.
re: Caroline1
"Is this a "glass ceiling" for women or for vegetarians? '-)"
Perhaps it reflects the possibility that vegetarians are less aggressive than meat-eaters, and this carries over to not pursuing higher power and pay in their careers.
re: jfood
I've seen that too, and I did preface my remark with "perhaps." But other than vehemently (defensively?) insisting that theirs is the right dietary choice, I don't find most vegetarians overly aggressive in general, and many overtly espouse a "walk gently upon the earth and do no harm" approach of which vegetarianism is just a part.
re: BobB
Generalizations about vegetarians are rubbish. Vegetarians are simply PEOPLE. There are nice ones and nasty ones, some with high IQs and some with low IQs (as with omnivores). Some are vegetarians for moral or health reasons, others for fashion (and don't even get me started on the ones I've met and have known who wear high end leather, don't recycle, drive inefficient vehicles, the list goes on). Some only wear vinyl and recycled cotton. It's not an all or nothing lifestyle and there are variations.
A well known dictator whose antics helped start WWII was a vegetarian and teetotaler who loved animals.
re: Caralien
I take it you don't subscribe to any of the arguments about diet affecting temperament, then?
re: Caroline1
There are probably certain jobs/types of jobs (both high-paying and otherwise) that vegetarians are unwilling to take/don't want, depending of course, upon their reasons for becoming vegetarians.
re: maria lorraine
Thank you for digging this up.
It's a simple correlation. Deciding to become vegetarian is a decision based upon reason and knowledge. For example, one may decide not to eat meat out of concern for one's health or concern for the treatment of animals, etc. Each of those conclusions requires a deductive process. I would not be surprised if a significant number of those children with high IQs elect not to be vegetarians based upon the same process. The point that the data really proves is that children with low IQs are unlikely to become vegetarians, since they are unlikely to engage in thoughtful consumption.
Edited to disclose that I am a carnivore.
re: MGZ
Choosing to be a vegetarian is a personal decision, but doesn't necessarily require much intelligence or thought. I knew someone who blamed Arby's for becoming ill, and changed his diet to simply be the same garbage he normally ate without meat (Domino's 4-5x per week, for example, hold the pepperoni). I also knew lifelong vegetarians who were never particularly sharp (this group would have been avoided in the study, not being affluent).
There have always been eloquent speakers who can convince those of any intelligence level to believe something, true or not (look at trends and fashion, food or otherwise). This removes the need for deductive reasoning.
That said, vegetarianism in all forms is great when chosen for the right reasons and followed in a sensible, non-alienating way.
My guess based on no research whatsoever (so take it for what it is), is perhaps that it is simply more likely that persons with higher IQ's are more likely to evaluate their diet and have a reason for choosing as they do, which would increase the chance of changing it (for instance eliminating meat).
So I'd agree with MGZ when he/she says that it is the dietary evaluation that is the main correlation, vegetarianism being a secondary caused by the primary. There's an "extra step" there for the tangent of people who after careful consideration remain omnivorous.
Well since people are trying to purport this as a more intelligent choice, I'll offer up the notion that it's because higher IQ people hang around in loftier circles more often than not. They're more likely to be the kind to keep up with the Jones's. Or more to the point, they feel the need to have a holier than thou attitude.
The mere fact that I had originally spelled intelligent wrong should be enough to show you I'm a meatitarian.
re: Davwud
So wait- people with higher IQs are more likely to try to keep up with the Joneses and be holier than thou? Where the heck do you get that conclusion from?!
It's been said, and I generally agree, that a high IQ means nothing more than being really good at doing IQ tests.
But to bring it back to the question of food, I must say that the vegetarians I've met here in England are way less likely to be holier than thou than the American vegetarians I've known. They seem to have a way more un-preachy, live-and-let-live attitude, whereas the many American vegetarians I have known can't seem to resist trying to make people feel bad for eating meat. Not sure why that is.
i think i saw a blurb about this in the economist a few years ago, actually.
if you'll forgive some talking out the ars, here (i haven't read the study), the results probably have something to do with the fact that high IQ and vegetarianism are both more prevalent at higher socioeconomic levels.
re: cimui
Precisely. This is similar to a study published recently in the International Journal of Epidemiology that found that light drinking during pregnancy (defined as no more than 2 drinks per week) is not only not harmful, it may actually be beneficial to the child. As reported by the BBC at the time:
"The study...found boys born to light drinkers were 40% less likely to have conduct problems and 30% less likely to be hyperactive than those whose mothers had abstained. They also scored more highly on vocabulary tests and on identifying colours, shapes, letters and numbers. "
To be fair it also noted that "Light drinkers were more likely to be better educated and from higher income households and were less likely to have smoked during pregnancy than abstainers."
Bottom line: it may just be another indication of the well-known correlation between socioeconomic status and functional intelligence.
re: BobB
very interesting study re: light drinking (by the mother during gestation, i assume?). i think that may explain a few things. my mom didn't drink. :)
i know there are ways of correcting for socioeconomic status, at least in part. i wish i knew enough about these studies to know whether / how this'd been done.
I agree with MGZ's response.
Also, I know that when I turned veg I had a lot of people trying to debate with me over animal cruelty&health issues, so I was constantly researching and reading current articles relating to it. The research and debates always seemed to benefit my study habits and grades in high school.
The constant reading of ingredient labels have probablly, in some way, helped too.
That's strange, I read the opposite in the Chronicle a couple of months back, but now I can't quote it of course. I did find this http://www.denvernaturopathic.com/new...
when I tried to find the article I had read, but this link is to an older article '05.

I find it hard to see much relationship between that article and this thread other than the fact that they both touch on vegetarianism.
re: MGZ
Really, I thought the thread was about intelligence in vegetarians and that link referenced a study saying that children were shown to be less skilled when fed (oops) a vegan diet. I guess in that case you are correct. Although it does also have a group fed milk and fats that performed better than the vegans but were not as strong as the meat eaters.
re: Missmoo
You are looking at a study that implies some sort of causal relationship between childhood vegetarianism and cognitive development. The concept originally raised in this thread points out that there is a correlation between a child with a high IQ and adult vegetarianism.
Can we get links to these studies please? It's difficult to assess and form an opinion without knowing more.
re: Sam Fujisaka
Yet clearly you are not lacking IQ points... otherwise the future state of worldwide agriculture is at stake :)
re: enbell
Meat-eaters saving agriculture. How about that?!
re: Cinnamon
Oh geez, I hope my comment wasn't misunderstood! I was only trying to tease Sam because he is clearly an intelligent and successful scientist, the meat-eather that his is. Sorry for any confusion!
re: enbell
Hilarious. Actually I don't eat much red meat. I've been preparing lots of fish and quite a bit of roast chicken.
And my Mom always said that fish was "brain food". Haven't thought of that in years!
re: Sam Fujisaka
Perhaps Mom was right, there is apparently growing data showing a causal relationship to that effect.
re: MGZ
That would be nice, MGZ.
Besides being a surgical nurse and great cook, Mom studied nutrition at Berkeley before being shipped off to the concentration camps in WWII. When we were growing up, we had only from scratch great food with lots of fish and vegetables and food fluency in many, many cuisines.
Thanks, Mom!
re: Sam Fujisaka
I remembered stories based upon this study (and, I think, others):
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 88, No. 3, 789-796, September 2008
"Associations of maternal fish intake during pregnancy and breastfeeding duration with attainment of developmental milestones in early childhood: a study from the Danish National Birth Cohort"
Emily Oken, Marie Louise Østerdal, Matthew W Gillman, Vibeke K Knudsen, Thorhallur I Halldorsson, Marin Strøm, David C Bellinger, Mijna Hadders-Algra, Kim Fleischer Michaelsen, and Sjurdur F Olsen
re: enbell
Enbell: And likewise I only meant to embellish on that. :)
"There was no difference in IQ score between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarian but who reported eating fish or chicken."
I'd stick a fork in that now.
re: Cinnamon
That is precisely the point - people with higher IQs are more likely to put thought into what they consume. Similarly, I would have little doubt in the veracity of a study showing that children with high IQs were more likely to become adult Chowhounds.
re: Cinnamon
Those who claim to be vegetarians but eat chicken and fish are not vegetarians, they're flexitarians.....
I wonder how these studies stack up in cultures and populations where vegetarianism is the norm? My guess is that it wouldn't, which supports the idea that if it's a conscious decision within a western industrial carnivore society, perhaps conscious veggies show some signs of higher IQ.
Of course if the IQ test is a standardized test, it's more a socio-economic situation/question then not. I think you could find similar results in brie eaters vs. American cheese eaters and wine drinkers vs. beer drinkers.
re: Caroline1
My husband is an Mensan and long-time (30+ yr.) vegan...
My 10-yr-old has an 11-yr-old friend who's a STRICT vegetarian. She's eat eggs and cheese, but her diet consists mainly of grains, pastas, fruit, veggies, beans, and, as I said, eggs and cheese. (Oh, and candy). She hates, and will not eat, tofu or any tofu products. Now this kid is very smart, having scored one of the top 3 in her grade, but physically, she is very, very small, wearing size 6 and 7. While her mom's not very big, her father is tall, and I became concerned when my child, who's also small for her age, still outgrew her and now stands a few inches taller than the older veggie child. I brought it up to her mother who basically told me it was none of my business.
I am interested in the article you mentioned because I'd like to see if the possibility of decline in physical as well as mental growth of vegetarian children has been addressed.
re: Michelly
Interesting. I could believe that.
I'm only 5' 1" and very much the runt of the litter, much shorter than my mom (5' 8"), my dad (5' 7"), my brother (5' 9") and my sister (5' 5"). My mom swears that it was because I was a vegetarian from sixth grade through college. My siblings and parents have never been vegetarians. Whether I have brain deficiencies is still subject to debate.
My SO's dad grew up on a balanced South Indian vegetarian diet and is about 5' 8" (and quite brilliant). My SO is 5' 10" and his mom is shorter, so maybe his dad did lose out on a few inches of growth.
'Course height isn't just determined by your parents. And height isn't everything. They do say that short people live longer... ;)
re: cimui
I'm a 5'8" vegetarian who has been so since about age 12 (pre-puberty). Though I was on the taller side of the spectrum as a child, my sister only got to 5'4" (she's also a vegetarian, though I believe she had gone through puberty before converting), with a 5'4" mom and a 5'11" dad. Not sure the truth in this, but a doctor told me that becoming a vegetarian likely delayed puberty slightly for me, meaning I grew more before puberty before hitting my final growth spurt and getting to my final height. Again, I am not sure of the medical information to back this up, but in some ways I think it could explain why I came out 4 inches taller than my sister when we both started out as children who were on the upper end of the growth charts.
re: Laura D.
I hate you, Ms. Tallpants. ;)
But no scientific conclusions drawn. Maybe you'd've turned out to be 5' 10" and me 5' 4".... Or maybe I'd've turned out to be 4' 5" had I not been vegetarian... Or maybe my growth spurt is still destined to hit when I turn 30..... ;)

You might like the old sci-fi novel Inverted World by Christopher Priest. Premise set-up is p. 41-42 and spoiler p. 219... search for "optimum" - that'll get you to the pages.
That said, while I'm sure there have been many other studies done on height and vegetarianism vs. non, did see this:
"on average Adventist vegetarian children were taller than their meat-consuming classmates"
(But the Adventist kids were ovo-lacto, and the group's known for emphasizing nutrition.)

but i think you people had/have some very good points of view on the subject anyway
re: foodperv
Are you a vegetarian proselytizing in sheep's clothing? It's a yes or no question.
re: foodperv
I apologize for my caustic question. I wanted to edit it away but I missed the window. I assumed incorrectly about you and this thread, and that was my mistake.
oh please. more crappola.
jfood was frotunate spending 6 years at great undergraduate and graduate schools surrounded by major brains. in his professional career he has also been fortunate to work with incredibly smart people. His sample would be>95% of these people could suck the fat off a porterhouse at twenty paces.
Now, in addition to all the "how dare you eat a living thing" comments, we meat lovers, will have to listen to the abuse of how we are child abusers.
re: jfood
In anthropological circles, it is widely agreed that the Human brain started to develop from the primitive Primate based brain, into the powerful tool(in MOST cases..;-) ) that it is today, when Humans started eating Animal flesh in abundance.
that being said, how can Vegitarianism/veganism not be considered de-evolution? Discuss. (hopefully, I was clear with my use of snark...)
dunno, I don't read the OP as vegetarianism being the cause of high IQ, but that adults who had higher IQ's from childhood, can lean more towards vegetarian diets.
I don't think it says anything about abuse of children through meat eating, that's a bit of a stretch.
I grew up eating meat unti at age 29, I became primarily a veg (I say primarily, as sometimes when travelling, I will take a treat of fish, never meat, and that is few and far between, my diet at home is vegetarian). I've always said I ended up that way because I thought too much, and I read too much about it all, particularly factory farming.
btw, I also grew up reading just about everything I could get my hands on, and I think i was an inquisitive child. In addition to meat, I also grew up eating all sorts of stuff that wasn't exactly the epitome of healthy eating as we know it today. I sure don't remember lots of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, low sodium / fat / sugar.
But would you have consciousness in general about social or dietary issues if you had a low IQ ? So it's not really a "being vegetarian causes your brain to grow off the charts" sort of thing. It's more the reverse, the way I see it, provided your environment allows you such a choice.
Then again, "studies" could be produced by the likes of PETA-esque agencies (whom i despise, despite my views on meat), wanting to show that meat eating is the depths of depravity saved for brutal savages who don't know any better. That was evident in their recent squawk about Canada's governor general daring to eat raw seal meat up north.
My son, who is 5, won't eat beef at all, and doesn't eat much meat period. Maybe a few bites of chicken or pork here and there. He could spell about 100 words when he turned 1, read when he was 2, has near perfect auditory as well as visual memory. (I could continue, but the point is that yes, although I'm sure I sound like a proud mama, it's pretty irrefutable to say he has a high IQ). Anyway, I've read a lot about high IQ children. I think in a lot of cases, it's a sensory thing. There are a lot of traits children like this tend to have in common. Ear problems, allergies, myopia, atypical language development, as well as the small stature mentioned by Michelly are a few examples. Of course, as it applies to a decision made later in life, I've read that higher IQ people are generally more socially/politically liberal, so being more prone to choosing vegetarianism for reasons of environmentalism or empathy toward animals would also make sense.

US National Security Agency
America's National Security Agency (NSA) is a cryptologic intelligence agency of the United States Department of Defence responsible for the collection and analysis of foreign communications and foreign signals intelligence. The NSA is a key component of the US Intelligence community, which is headed by the Director of National Intelligence. By law, the NSA's intelligence gathering is limited to foreign communications although there have been some incidents involving domestic collection, including the NSA warrantless surveillance controversy.
NSA spying on Europe-Asia undersea telecom cables: report
Most Popular
The US National Security Agency has collected sensitive data on key telecommunications cables between Europe, north Africa and Asia, German news magazine Der Spiegel reported on Sunday citing classified documents.
Spiegel quoted NSA papers dating from February and labelled "top secret" and "not for foreigners" describing the agency's success in spying on the so-called Sea-Me-We 4 undersea cable system.
The massive bundle of fibre optic cables originates near the southern French city of Marseille and links Europe with north Africa and the Gulf states, continuing through Pakistan and India to Malaysia and Thailand.
"Among the companies that hold ownership stakes in it are France Telecom, now known as Orange and still partly government-owned, and Telecom Italia Sparkle," Spiegel said.
It said NSA specialists had hacked an internal website belonging to the operator consortium to mine documents about technical infrastructure including circuit mapping and network management information.
"More operations are planned in the future to collect more information about this and other cable systems," Spiegel quoted the NSA documents as saying.
Der Spiegel has over the last several months reported on mass NSA spying on targets in the United States and abroad using documents provided by fugitive intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.
A White House-picked panel this month recommended curbing the secretive powers of the NSA, warning that its spying sweeps in the "war on terror" had gone too far.
US President Barack Obama plans to address the report in January.

1/2 Photos of No Pudge Brownie Clone
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
5 mins
35 mins
This recipe comes the closest to the ones that are sold in the stores. Do not substitute Splenda or other sweetner, the sugar in the recipe carmelizes as the brownies bake, making them more sticky (when I used Splenda, they felt like rubber. On the box vital wheat gluten also appears, I learned that it helps the brownies rise as the batter is rich in sugar. I figure about 1/2-1 teaspoon is enough * I didn't have yogurt at hand but I had some milk and Jello Sugar Free Fat Free Instant Chocolate Pudding. I made the pudding according to recipe on the box and substituted it cup for cup (I omitted the baking soda because the soda is there to offset the acidity in yogurt, no yogurt= no need for soda). The brownies came out even better!

Found the name of the place, sute cute place in Aventura. Walked by but have not heard anything of it yet. Has anyone been to Kefi or knows anything about it? Its in Aventura, a bit hidden but I guess once the sign is set people will start coming. Last night I walked by with my doggy and there were about 4 tables filled. It is certainly beautiful inside and outside. Specially overlooking the boats.
o Sarah, had to try this restaurant since live in Aventura. It is only a never come back to but in 1 year will be some other restaurant. $150 a couple for poor Italian food,overpriced steaks, undercooked lobster and the poorest wait staff I have seen in a restaurant in a long time.Try it if you must.
Hello All! Well, i did go, but did not have dinner...geez. My husband and I live right in front at the Venture, but I have been trying to give it some time, as we have been 3 times and the appetizers have not yet convinced me to stay for dinner. Maybe I should give the drinks and apps a rest and actually sit for dinner in the right area. I have only stayed at the bar, they are great for chatting hehehe. Thanks

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is getting an update on the problems plaguing the health care system for veterans from his acting veterans affairs secretary and a top aide.
The White House says Obama will meet Friday with Acting Secretary Sloan Gibson after returning from a two-day trip to Minnesota. Top White House aide Rob Nabors will join them in the Oval Office.
Obama tasked Nabors with leading a broad review of the VA following allegations of treatment delays and preventable deaths around the country. That review is due to the president this month.
Gibson replaced former Secretary Eric Shinseki, who resigned amid the growing scandal. Obama hasn't announced a nominee to replace Shinseki, but the White House says finding a permanent replacement is a priority.

Strength In Southern Tier Propels Stein Mart Comp Sales
Thursday October 10th, 2013 - 9:51AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!

I love spreading this on toast....at first it is a little hard to use, but just warm it up a bit in some water and it becomes easier to spread.

- Dog kennels can be very noisy environments.
- Multiple dogs barking can cause high sound levels.

amplify the noises causing echoes and loud noises.
eNoise Control has helped improve the acoustics inside kennels and other animal shelter locations. Our typical approach is to add sound absorption to the walls and/or ceiling to help damping and lower the echoes inside the kennel. We have many product offerings for lowering the noise levels.

Only Cate Blanchett shines as Blanche Dubois … er, Jasmine … in Woody's rueful comic drama
If you're going to steal, steal from the best.
That must be what Woody Allen was thinking when he semi-lifted the plot and character outlines of Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire" for his latest rueful comic drama, "Blue Jasmine."
Or maybe it's just that leading lady Cate Blanchett gave a definitive performance on stage both in Sydney and New York as Blanche Dubois in "Streetcar" a few years back, and it's still echoing through her work.
See video: Woody Allen's First 'Blue Jasmine' Trailer: Cate Blanchett Needs Stronger Xanax
She's the major reason to see "Jasmine," a mixed bag of a movie, one that finds Allen, who both wrote and directed, returning to a more serious, unsettling tale after his recent fizzy forays, "Midnight in Paris" and "To Rome With Love."
Blanchett plays Jasmine, a formerly wealthy Manhattan socialite suffering from badly jangled nerves and a tendency to talk out loud to herself. Life has been hard on her ever since her philandering businessman husband (Alec Baldwin) was revealed as a crook and then killed himself while in prison.
Also read: Zach Braff Taught Crowdfunding to Woody Allen – and He Liked It
Following a breakdown, a destitute Jasmine heads to San Francisco at the beginning of the film to try to rebuild her life while staying with her working class sister, Ginger (Sally Hawkins). Jasmine's move into Ginger's cramped apartment, along with the refined airs that Jasmine puts on, don't sit well with Chili (Bobby Cannavale), Ginger's rough-hewn fiancé, a mechanic.
And, yes, there's a gentleman caller. That would be Dwight (Peter Sarsgaard), a wealthy diplomat with political ambitions who meets Jasmine at a party and begins romancing her, unaware of her dodgy background. (Not to be a spoilsport, but wouldn't he have Googled her immediately after the shindig if he was considering calling her for a date?)
Also read: 'Red 2' Review: Bruce Willis Sequel Dies Hard, Lands With Dull Thud
Blanchett isn't really doing Blanche here, or at least not Blanche as the classic, faded Southern belle. Rather, she's playing what Blanche might be if she lived today and was part of the Upper East Side-Hamptons set but had started out poor, ended up rich and then lost it all again. It's a tour de force performance, and one that doesn't necessarily beg the audience to like her.
The problem with the film is that no other character in "Blue Jasmine" registers as strongly as Jasmine or seems nearly as well drawn by Allen. There's no domineering, earthy, wisecracking Stanley here to balance out Jasmine's Blanche.
There are amusing bits (Louis C.K. stops by briefly to pay enthusiastic suit to Ginger), but "Blue Jasmine" doesn't really hang together. Characters flit in and out, and the whole feels only half developed.
Other than Blanchett's arousing performance, the movie never gets its colored lights going at full intensity.

Hamilton County School Board member George RicksPhoto by John Rawlston /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
A group of health care and nonprofit representatives tried to connect the dots with four lines without lifting their pencils and to match proverbs from different countries — all with the goal of thinking outside the box.
Representatives from La Paz Chattanooga and United Way's Center for Nonprofits held a workshop Wednesday for organizations seeking to engage and market to Hispanics in the area.
There are about 15,000 Hispanics in Hamilton County, according to the U.S. census, although La Paz estimates there are more than 20,000.
The key in serving this community, according to Stacy Johnson, executive director of La Paz, is cultural competency.
"Knowledge, awareness and sensitivity are important," she told the group.
When George Ricks, community outreach coordinator for the Southside/Dodson Avenue Community Health Center, first started reaching out to the Hispanic community, he thought everyone spoke Spanish, he said.
But most of Chattanooga's Hispanics are from Guatemala, where more than 23 Mayan dialects are spoken.
Ricks, also a board member of the Hamilton County Department of Education, said he wants to learn more about the Hispanic community to better serve them.
One of the challenges, he said, is getting everyone to understand not only the differences but also the similarities between American and Latino cultures.
La Paz used games and a panel to answer questions about best practices and challenges in serving the Hispanic community, which represent more than two dozen countries and different education and income levels.
The goal, Johnson said, is to develop a network surrounding Chattanooga's Hispanic community.
"We know we're not able to completely serve this growing population," she said. "It is part of our vision and mission to educate the entire Chattanooga community on the Latino population and the importance of cultural competency when trying to reach and/or work with this diverse population."
Debbie Bramlett, with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Chattanooga Area, said the nonprofit has tried to reach the Hispanic community but hasn't been successful.
"I'm not sure what we are doing wrong," she said.
La Paz's advice is to have staff who are bilingual and bicultural.
"We hope, that through seminars, we can give organizations the tools they need to join us in empowering and engaging Chattanooga's Latino population through advocacy, education and inclusion," said Johnson.
Perla Trevizo joined the Chattanooga Times Free Press in 2007 and covers immigration/diversity issues and higher education. She holds a master's degree in newswire journalism from Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid, Spain, and a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Texas. In 2011 she participated in the Bringing Home the World international reporting fellowship program sponsored by the International Center for Journalists, producing a series on Guatemalan immigrants for which she ...

Windows 7
Can't add to video library from two external drives
So today is my first day with 7 and overall I love it... but I have run into a strange problem with my video library. I have many videos organized by folders on two separate (but identical, both Lacie 1TB) drives that I would like to add to my video library. I can add one drive without trouble. When I try to add folders from the second drive from within media center, the program seems to be adding it but says 0 videos found and when i check back, the folders are no longer listed under the library (essentially the same thing happens from wmp.)
It doesn't matter which drive I try - as long as I delete the libraries first and only plug one drive in, either will add its folders to the video library individually. It's when I try adding the second drive that I can't add its folders. I can always access videos through explorer and view them just fine - strictly a library problem. I can also add the folders from the 2nd new drive to any other library without problem (there are no folders in either that I included in any other libraries - it's only a problem when there are folders in the same library on the first drive.)
When I try right clicking on folders in explorer from the 2nd drive (after adding the first) and try to 'include in library,' it starts to work and then says "The folder could not be included in Videos." I've tried changing the names of the drives and the drive letters, swapping cables and USB ports and nothing works.
Frankly, as it is a media center PC, this is a deal breaker. Please help me avoid going back to Vista...
|My System Specs
|02 Nov 2009
try moving the files from the drives to an external USB hard drive kit, add the drives back one at a time and format them, then add files back (but not to a root)- I suspect the drives have previous OS files on them or other corrupt files - or - try adding to the library just a folder on each and not the "root" - you may also want to review user permissions for the files/folders

Let me state that I generally hate yard sales, garage sales, and the like. Specifically:
*I don't like going to other people's sales, especially when they put out things that are, to quote Oscar the Grouch, everything "ragged and rotten and rusty."
*I don't like having our own sale, because it involved going through lots of our own stuff. It's time-consuming and enervating.
And most of all:
*I HATE bringing back into the house the stuff we decided to sell, but it didn't.
Yet we (OK, the Wife and the Daughter) agreed (and I accepted the decision) to have a yard sale on September 6. The logic of that date was that it would be after school began, but before the fall got going in earnest. Read the rest of this entry »

Who is your favorite visual artist? Favorite director?
I tend to be rather catholic about these things. Here's the best way to recognize the artist of paintings, BTW.
My church has Tiffany windows, which I like; the one above is one of them. Gordon Parks is a favorite photographer. Always though Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings were interesting, if not always practical. Van Gogh I enjoy, but there are so many more; I love going to the house in the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, NY because it's so eclectic. Did one of those Facebook things where you should live, and it came up with French Polynesia, which reminded me that I like Gauguin too.
But I guess my favorite visual artist is Rodin, whose work I find sensual as all get out, even if it isn't all his work.

Spinach, no lie. It was one of the few vegetables I would eat as a child, along with peas, corn, green beans, and carrots. In the day, it was all canned. Fairly recently (2013, maybe for my birthday), The Wife bought a can of spinach; it was AWFUL! Fresh, preferably; frozen, if necessary.

A night marathon for class 1c
At night on 5th September, a marathon
for class 1c was organised. The teachers Mrs.
Anna Kustra,
Mrs. Anna Lubińska and Mr. Remigiusz Łuc were
taking care of the students. The first-year
pupils started
the marathon from games during which they met better
and they had a great time together. The class
watched some interesting films, and spent some
time at the gym playing volleyball and football.
A tasty surprise was waiting for all the
participants. It was a delicious hot pizza. See the photos.
