Psychology Honors Research Mentorship Program
The Psychology Honors Research Mentorship Program provides a three-year, intensive research experience opportunity in which students work closely with a faculty member to develop and hone their research skills. This program is intended for students who plan to pursue doctoral-level graduate work in psychology and are considering a career in academia and/or one that involves research. Psychology honors students may apply into this program during spring term of their freshman year. Students are expected to have completed their requirements in Research Methods and Data Analysis before joining the program or to enroll in these courses in SU14 or AU14.
At the end of the freshman year, students attend a series of workshops in which they learn about research within the subdisciplines of psychology and specifically, the areas of research that are ongoing in the department, the IRB process, research funding opportunities, and other research related topics. Before the end of spring semester, students select the lab they would like to work in for the upcoming three years.
During the sophomore year, students begin working in their chosen lab during autumn semester. In May, students travel to the Midwestern Psychological Association's annual conference in Chicago, Illinois, to see firsthand how research knowledge is communicated through symposia and posters. The goal of the sophomore year is to become acclimated to the research process and begin preparations for the Honors Thesis during the junior year.
In autumn of the junior year, students enroll in the first term of the Honors Thesis course (4999.01H) and begin working on their Honors Thesis. During the junior year, students are expected to complete their Honors Thesis with their research mentor (enrolling in 4999.02H in SP). In the spring semester, students will present their research at the Denman Research Forum and the Midwestern Psychology Association annual conference.
During the senior year, students will work with their research mentor to extend their research experience and continue their professional development. This may include collecting additional data, completing a follow up research project, working with their research mentor to prepare a manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed or undergraduate research journal, presenting their work at a discipline-specific conference, or other opportunities supported by the research mentor.
Applications are due Monday, March 1st. To apply, please click here.

Closure of the Cone of Sums of $2d$-powers in Certain Weighted $\ell_1$-seminorm Topologies In a paper from 1976, Berg, Christensen and Ressel prove that the
closure of the cone of sums of squares $\sum
\mathbb{R}[\underline{X}]^2$ in the polynomial ring
$\mathbb{R}[\underline{X}] := \mathbb{R}[X_1,\dots,X_n]$ in the
topology induced by the $\ell_1$-norm is equal to
$\operatorname{Pos}([-1,1]^n)$, the cone consisting of all polynomials
which are non-negative on the hypercube $[-1,1]^n$. The result is
deduced as a corollary of a general result, established in the same
paper, which is valid for any commutative semigroup.
In later work, Berg and Maserick and Berg, Christensen and Ressel
establish an even more general result, for a commutative semigroup
with involution, for the closure of the cone of sums of squares of
symmetric elements in the weighted $\ell_1$-seminorm topology
associated to an absolute value.
In the present paper we give a new proof of these results which is
based on Jacobi's representation theorem from 2001. At the same time,
we use Jacobi's representation theorem to extend these results from
sums of squares to sums of $2d$-powers, proving, in particular, that
for any integer $d\ge 1$, the closure of the cone of sums of
$2d$-powers $\sum \mathbb{R}[\underline{X}]^{2d}$ in
$\mathbb{R}[\underline{X}]$ in the topology induced by the
$\ell_1$-norm is equal to $\operatorname{Pos}([-1,1]^n)$.

Inverse Semigroups and Sheu's Groupoid for the Odd Dimensional Quantum Spheres In this paper, we give a different proof of the fact that the odd dimensional
quantum spheres are groupoid $C^{*}$-algebras. We show that the $C^{*}$-algebra
$C(S_{q}^{2\ell+1})$ is generated by an inverse semigroup $T$ of partial
isometries. We show that the groupoid $\mathcal{G}_{tight}$ associated with the
inverse semigroup $T$ by Exel is exactly the same as the groupoid
considered by Sheu.

Cesà ro Operators on the Hardy Spaces of the Half-Plane In this article we study the Cesà ro
and its companion operator $\mathcal{T}$ on Hardy spaces of the
upper half plane. We identify $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{T}$ as
resolvents for appropriate semigroups of composition operators and we
find the norm and the spectrum in each case. The relation of
$\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{T}$ with the corresponding Ces\`{a}ro
operators on Lebesgue spaces $L^p(\mathbb R)$ of the boundary line is also

Equivalence of $L_p$ Stability and Exponential Stability of Nonlinear Lipschitzian Semigroups
$L_p$ stability and exponential stability are two important concepts
for nonlinear dynamic systems. In this paper, we prove that a
nonlinear exponentially bounded Lipschitzian semigroup is
exponentially stable if and only if the semigroup is $L_p$ stable
for some $p>0$. Based on the equivalence, we derive two sufficient
conditions for exponential stability of the nonlinear semigroup. The
results obtained extend and improve some existing ones.

Inner $E_0$-Semigroups on Infinite Factors This paper is concerned with the structure of
inner $E_0$-semigroups. We show that any inner
$E_0$-semigroup acting on an infinite factor
$M$ is completely determined by a continuous
tensor product system of Hilbert spaces in
$M$ and that the product system associated
with an inner $E_0$-semigroup is a complete cocycle conjugacy invariant.

Combinatorics of Words and Semigroup Algebras Which Are Sums of Locally Nilpotent Subalgebras We construct new examples of non-nil algebras with any number of
generators, which are direct sums of two
locally nilpotent subalgebras. Like all previously known examples, our examples
are contracted semigroup algebras and the underlying semigroups are unions
of locally nilpotent subsemigroups.
In our constructions we make more
than in the past the close relationship between the considered problem
and combinatorics of words.

Andrei Khokhlatchev, PhD
Signaling in the Ras pathway regulating growth and apoptosis
The Khokhlatchev laboratory is interested in Ras signal transduction and the molecular mechanisms of tumor suppression, focusing on the novel family of tumor suppressors represented by NORE1 and RASSF1. In humans, Ras is the most common dominant oncogene, especially in tumors of epithelial origin. Ras activation often leads to uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor development. Therefore, it is likely that there are molecular mechanisms in cells that sense the suitability of Ras activation, and in the case of inappropriate activation, blocks cell proliferation or eliminate the cell.
NORE1 was discovered as a protein capable of binding to activated Ras in vitro and in vivo with high affinity. Recent data from several laboratories strongly suggests that NORE1, specifically its longest splice isoform NORE1A, is a tumor suppressor. The current hypothesis is that NORE1 is the key regulator in Ras signaling, determining an outcome of proliferation or cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. To understand the molecular mechanisms of NORE1 tumor suppression, the laboratory is performing structure-functional studies of NORE1A to determine and characterize regions of the molecule essential for growth and tumor suppression and is studying mechanism of NORE1A activation by Ras. Subsequently, components of growth-inhibitory signal transduction pathway that starts at NORE1A will be identified and molecular mechanism of their action will be characterized. In addition, recent studies by the lab determined that NORE1A is capable to bind microtubules. The significance of this interaction for NORE1A-induced growth and tumor suppression will be determined.

Scunthorpe V Tranmere at Glanford Park : Match Preview
Scunthorpe V Tranmere - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
Slocombe in Iron frameScunthorpe goalkeeper Sam Slocombe could be a surprise inclusion in the starting line-up against Tranmere.Slocombe sustained a dead leg in the weekend defeat at Portsmouth and was replaced by James Severn midway through the first half, but has recovered quicker than anticipated and is hoping to start.Skipper Paul Reid made his long-awaited return to the bench as an unused substitute on Saturday after recovering from a broken bone in his hand, but manager Alan Knill is loathe to rush him back.Reid, yet to feature for the Iron this season, ideally requires a reserve-team run-out, as does fellow defender Callum Kennedy, who has been sidelined since the end of August with a toe injury.Knill, who has no other new injury or suspension worries, must decide whether to hand Chris Sedgwick his first start, while fellow midfielders Damien Mozika (ankle) Michael Collins (tendonitis) remain long-term absentees.Tranmere boss Ronnie Moore is likely to be without three players.James Wallace, Andy Robinson and Ben Gibson all picked up knocks as the league leaders drew 1-1 against Brentford at the weekend.Wallace is a major doubt after picking up a leg injury and is the most likely of the trio to be missing.Loanee Ben Gibson has a calf injury while midfielder Robinson picked up a groin strain. The pair will be given every chance to prove their fitness ahead of the game.Should all three be absent, Moore is looking for his squad players to step up to the challenge of replacing them."This gives the lads who have had to sit out an opportunity," he told the club's website. "If they come in and do well and we get the result then they'll stay in."

As Bears Bash, Amazon Heads to $300
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- While the board of directors at Best Buy (BBY - Get Report) digest (and likely blow off) my latest report about its ineptitude, Amazon.com (AMZN - Get Report) keeps chugging along to $300.
As I write -- just prior to the market close -- it's toying with the $260 level.
To think that, according to a former employee, Best Buy's former management actually said, No partnerships with Amazon. No Exceptions, should not only shock the hell out of you, it ought to send your creativity juices spewing uncontrollably through your nose.
But, enough about Best Buy. Talking about what Amazon's doing, not so indirectly, speaks to what -- here comes a generic news scribe identifier -- the electronics retailer doesn't have going for it.
Even though awful water pressure at my hotel made my hairdo look like it drowned in an oil slick, I think I made a good point in this video I shot with TheStreet's Chris Ciaccia and James Rogers: Even relative to Apple (AAPL - Get Report), a company Wall Street's sizable gaggle of hack analysts has all wrong, there's less uncertainty in Amazon's long-term story. That's why the shares continue to do so well. Through all of the noise -- and it is noise because AMZN bears come few and far between, this is a strong stock floated by a strong company. And for a reason. At Apple, you have a dominant franchise, but -- and this is a big but -- to keep the momentum going, you need more than iPhone 5S or 6, an iPad mini with Retina Display or the next iteration of the full-size iPad. Unless it's 110% revolutionary, MacBook "refreshes" will only cut it for so long. And, while cute, redesigns on iPod Touches raise very few eyebrows. Apple needs iTV or whatever the next big thing in its pipeline is. Bullish or bearish, you have to admit to an incredible amount of certainty around this. But, not just uncertainty . . . again, it's pretty much a necessity that Apple come through or else the long-term caution I express could prove prudent. Look at it like this -- if you're staring at a portfolio full of gainers in December 2012 that includes AAPL and AMZN, it's not crazy to make the decision to sell AAPL first over tax-related concerns. Putting away hot sports opinions and crystal balls -- just looking at things as they are today -- AMZN is the better long-term play. We know what Amazon's opportunity is. It knows what its opportunity is. And it very clearly has a spending plan laid out to seize this massive opportunity. Nothing has changed that approach for about 13 years. There's no transition. No state of flux. It's just Amazon being Amazon and a trusty Jeff Bezos being a trusty Jeff Bezos. Remember -- suspend emotion (I am as angry as the next guy about what's happening to AAPL near-term) and consider what we know today. We're not sure what Apple's opportunity is beyond the current products and we're not sure at all how they plan on maximizing it. If Apple actually had real competition, the stock might have fallen harder and not bounced back. While I think both companies crush the holiday quarter, I would be slightly more comfortable putting my cash in the stock with price-to-earnings ratio of 3,000, not the company we all can agree analysts continue to give the shaft. View the P/E as a measure of confidence in a company's ability to grow and grow exponentially for considerably longer than the foreseeable future.

Carlos J Emanuel Lomas de Urdesa Edif. Vista Grande II Guayaquil, 960 Ecuador |
Edit Your Page |
I am researching the Emanuel family, that branched in Ecuador, South America. My great-grandfather Carlos Emanuel went to Ecuador towards the end of the 19th century, around 1890, and had two children, one of them, Carlos Segundo Emanuel, born in 1893, is my grandfather. According to family tradition, my great grandfather was originally from Italy and went to Ecuador by way of New York, to where he supposedly returned before WWI. We have no records of him apart from an autographed picture taken around 1900 in Ecuador. And we would like very much to receive any information that could help us document his identity and establish his whereabouts after he left Ecuador. |

China demand to underpin gold price: analysts
PUBLISHED: 15 Jan 2014 13:19:00 | UPDATED: 15 Jan 2014 16:25:51PRINT EDITION: 15 Jan 2014Citigroup expects gold to hit $US1250 an ounce in 2014 before climbing to $US1350 an ounce the following year. Photo: Bloomberg
Vesna Poljak
Demand for gold among Chinese buyers will support the price of the precious metal this year as it loses favour among investors who had sought gold for its protection from inflation.
Toby Lewis an investment strategist at Citigroup, predicted that two themes which have underpinned gold's incredible 12-year rise won't be as relevant this year as macro-economic conditions shift led by the United States Federal Reserve's reduction in stimulus.
But investors can still count on physical demand for gold, especially that coming from China.
"We expect support for the gold price to be driven by Chinese physical demand increasing later in the year," Mr Lewis said. "Investor demand is likely to remain subdued throughout the year as demand for a safe haven from financial crises and demand for inflation protection are likely to be much lower."
Citigroup has a $US1250 an ounce forecast for 2014 and $US1350 an ounce for 2015.
"Despite the fact that a return of the European debt crisis cannot be ruled out altogether, the relatively small increase in the gold price in October (as the US approached the debt ceiling) suggests that investors are growing in confidence," Mr Lewis added.
While global economic output will accelerate, "the high levels of unemployment and idle capacity do not suggest that inflation will experience any significant upward pressure".
Gold loses its shine
Mr Lewis is not the only strategist with concerns around how the macro outlook will influence the precious metal. Experts told an Australian Financial Review round table of the outlook for commodities that the threat of rising consumer prices was receding, dealing a blow to gold's appeal.
"With the progressive 'cleansing' of the global financial system since the GFC [global financial crisis] leading to the return of self-sustaining growth in the major economies, the need for various forms of co-ordinated debt-funded growth is passing, together with the risk of inflation that it poses. This is a bearish transition for gold's price," said UBS analyst Tom Price.
On the flip side, a smaller than expected increase in the gold supply will be a positive force over the medium term, said Pengana fund manager Tim Schroeders, and ordinary investors and central banks will maintain an interest in accumulating gold, said MineLife analyst Gavin Wendt.
Citigroup's Mr Lewis said that with an overall decline in bulk commodity prices in mind as China's economic growth becomes less reliant on commodities consumption, "gold stands out as a beneficiary of increasing demand from China beyond 2014".
"Whether China can effectively transition to a lower, more sustainable level of growth is one of the key investment questions, not just for commodity markets," he said. "We do see Chinese growth slowing this year, before accelerating again in the fourth quarter."

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is performed to return youthful shape and lift to breasts that have sagged as a result of weight loss, pregnancy, loss of the skin's natural elasticity or simply the effects of aging and gravity.
It is usually necessary to reposition the nipples into a more elevated position, and the pigmented areola is often reduced in size. If there has been a loss of breast volume following pregnancy, or if an increase in breast size is desired, breast implants can be inserted in conjunction with a breast lift to improve both the shape and the size of the breasts.
It is usually done under general anesthesia and as outpatient surgery.
back to top
Large breasts can cause pain, improper posture, rashes, breathing problems, skeletal deformities, and low self-esteem. Breast reduction surgery is usually done to provide relief from these symptoms.
The procedure removes fat and glandular tissue and tightens skin to produce smaller, lighter breasts that are in a healthier proportion to the rest of the body. It is often covered by provincial health plans (e.g., OHIP) and is performed under a general anesthetic, usually as an outpatient.
Many women carry a private sorrow. They suffer from uneven breasts; with each breast differing is size from the other. This condition is also known as breast asymmetry and is a relatively common condition. The embarrassment about the uneven breasts could affect their daily lives, sexuality and confidence. Researchers say that for those women with significant asymmetry, breast surgery can considerably elevate quality of life and self-esteem.
Breast asymmetry occurs when a woman's breasts differ in size or shape. For example, a woman's left breast may be a B-cup and the right, a D-cup. Conversely, a woman may have one breast that significantly droops, and the other does not, making the woman's breasts appear unbalanced.
Breast augmentation, breast lift, and breast reduction are usually used to correct breast asymmetry and create balance between the breasts. Depending upon the type and degree of asymmetry, plastic surgeons may utilize one or all of these procedures.
Inverted nipples can cause functional problems and emotional concerns for women. An inverted nipple can look flat or a slit like depression or hole at the normal nipple location. There are different degrees or grades of nipple inversion and correction of inverted nipples depends on the degree of the problem.
Typically, this procedure is done under local anesthesia and as an outpatient.
Over development of the male breast is a common problem. Frequently, it begins during puberty, but may occur at any time during adulthood. Men describe feeling self-conscious about their breast size and are uneasy about exposing their chest in public or wearing certain clothes.
The procedure removes fat and/or glandular tissue from the breasts, usually via liposuction and/or a small incision near the nipple, resulting in a contoured chest that is flatter, firmer and natural in appearance. It is performed under a general anesthetic, usually as an outpatient procedure.
Reconstruction of a breast that has been removed due to cancer or other disease is one of the most rewarding surgical procedures available today.
Most breast reconstructions involve two or three procedures that occur over time. The initial operation involves the reconstruction of a new breast mound. This can either be performed immediately following breast removal (mastectomy) or can be done months to years later. In one or two more stages, a final shaping of the breast mound might be required, a reconstruction of the nipple and the areola is performed, and possibly surgery to enlarge, reduce or lift the natural breast to match the reconstructed breast is performed.

One Man Killed on Superman Ride at Six Flags New EnglandSix Flags New England: A 55-year-old man died after falling out of the ride at around 3 p.m. Saturday. From Shane Falcone
A 55-year-old man died after falling out of the ride at around 3 p.m. today, according to local news reports.Posted May 1, 2004 at 8:56 PM Comments in chronological order. Most recent at the bottom. Scroll down to respond. From Barbara Sabat
I was at Six Flags New England today and I rode Superman like at 1pm. I enjoyed the roller coaster but it was a weird experience. I had a bad feeling just as I got on it because I had trouble keeping my restraint in place. As we went up I started praying because I felt like I feared for my life. That day all the rides in general gave me a sense of disorganization and weirdness. You might think I'm making this up because I heard the news but I had never felt that weird at a theme park before. I don't think I ever want to ride Superman again. Posted May 1, 2004 at 9:27 PM From John Lumsden
RE: Superman...the circumstances surrounding how the accident actually occured have not been determined. I would imagine that the state will be closely involved however, as they had just completed the mandated safety checks two weeks ago. You can be sure the safety inspection efforts of all the parks rides will will be doubled or tripled after this. The park can't afford bad press going into the season, especially on their premiere ride, without showing increased safety measure standards.Posted May 2, 2004 at 5:23 AM From Chuck Allen
Not only does the ride have lap belts but also has a lap bar that fits very tight against you. I can't imagine a circumstance that would allow a person to come lose. The local news reports are saying the accident happened near the end of the ride where there is not a lot of force being put on you, only a few small hills and dips. If maintenance is to blame it would not be very supriseing. On my last visit the park looked awfull. You couldn't even find a toilet that worked.Posted May 2, 2004 at 6:21 AM From Philip Curds
More details from the local news network at:Posted May 2, 2004 at 9:59 AM http://www.nbc30.com/news/3260041/detail.html From Laura Gonzalez
Some news reports are saying that the man that died had cerebral palsy. That means he was disabled and probably had some body parts that were paralyzed. My question is how the hell did they let him ride? And if they did, did they make sure the restraints were poperly in place because it's obvious that if the man had a disabling disease such as this one, he might had not been able to put on the restraints himself.Posted May 2, 2004 at 11:11 AM From Chuck Allen
Local news here in massachusets is reporting that the same day of the Superman ride tragedy that the bat man or bat wing ride broke down. This is the ride that suspends you on your belly and spins you like you are flying. New reports state that people were trapped on the ride for over 20 min. Until the Agawam Fire department could free them. Posted May 2, 2004 at 5:42 PM From KEVIN PEDRO
I FEEL REALLY BAD FOR THE MANS FAMILY AND CAN'T UNDERSTAND Y THEY LET THE MAN ON THE RIDE BUT STILL THE MAN STILL COULD OF ASKED TO GO ON AND THEY SAID YES WELL LET'S JUST HOPE THE MAN DOES NOT START HAUNTING THE PARK THEN THEY WILL HAVE A NEW THING FOR FRIGHT FEST AND + THAT WILL JUST BE SCARY BUT COOL AT THE SAME TIME Posted May 2, 2004 at 7:52 PM PEACE OUT From luis gonzalez
that was in terrible taste, mildly amusing, but in very bad tastePosted May 2, 2004 at 9:47 PM From Laura Gonzalez
I haven't heard anything about the Batman ride. My friends got on it that day like at 6. I guess it must have happened after we left, shortly after they rode Batwing.Posted May 2, 2004 at 11:27 PM From Matt Smeltzer
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20040502/D82AOKQG0.htmlPosted May 3, 2004 at 6:41 AM This article suggests that the man was able to get on the ride himself, and under the ADA, park workers are not permitted to keep him off the ride. I don't know if this argument holds water, but if it does, it absolves the park of any wrongdoing in letting him on the ride. From Laura Gonzalez
Yeah, but if the restraints came lose, and that's the only way he would have flown off. Then I think the park is responsible because they had to make sure everything was in place.Posted May 3, 2004 at 8:35 AM From Chuck Allen
Massachusetts has now as of today banned the use of T bar lap style restraints such as the one used on Superman. The commonwealth is asking that all rides useing this type of restraint system be redesigned before they are reopened to the public.Posted May 3, 2004 at 4:11 PM There is a lot of talk that this man may not have been buckled in to the ride at all. Having ridden Superman many times myself I have to say that if the ride attendants checked each ridder as they are supposed to do it would have been very difficult for anyone to fly out of the ride vehicle, The lap bars fit tightly against a persons belly up at the hip line and the seats are deep enough to make flying out difficult. From Derek Potter
Its a terrible shame that this happened. My condolences go to the man's family. As for this incident, something just doesn't add up at this point. If I am correct about this, Superman is an Intamin designed coaster, and basically a smaller version of Millennium Force. The ride has 2 sets of restraints per rider...a seat belt and the "T" lap bar. Having ridden a few Intamin coasters...namely Dragster and Millennium Force, both of which use the same types of restraints, I can say that those particular restraints and seats are very effective and well designed not only for safety, but for comfort. If the state wants to ban these type of restraints, then that is their perrogative, but I can't imagine that they are solely to blame... least of all with an additional belt that ride ops are supposed to check. The fact that the rider had a disabliity such as cerebral palsy leaves even more questions. Posted May 3, 2004 at 7:10 PM Why was he allowed on the ride? Not to be someone who is discriminant, but the ride goes about 75 mph and pulls about 3.5 Gs. Not only that, but the accident supposedly happened on a medium to low intense part of the ride. If he has paralysis in his body, then that makes him a danger to himself and others when he rides a ride such as this. If the ADA rules permitted him on this ride, then they need to seriously review these types of regulations. Not only that, but parks need to think about enforcing their regulations a little more. We have yet to find out who really is at fault here, so one can't jump to conclusions just yet, but something stinks yet again at Six Flags, and this time it isn't just the toilets. From jeff Huff
I'm writing in response to the piece about the man killed on the roller coaster at 6 flags. I had a similar experience about a year ago, only without the part where I die. I was at 6 flags Darien lake, in Darien new York (sorry not sure on the spelling of the city). The same people who used to own, 6 flags new England, when it used to be Riverside Park, formerly owned Darien Lake. 6 flags bought that company out, and got both parks. I had been going there for years, since before it was a 6 flags. We would go up with our family. But after 6 flags bought them out the whole place changed, it was dirty, it was crowded. Maintenance appeared to be an after thought, but it also meant new and exciting rides. There is a super man there as well, but the ride appears to be a different one, just in its layout, not as exciting as the one in Agawam. The reason I am writing to you however involves a different ride, a smaller roller coaster named the mind eraser. It's an inverted coaster, the type where your feet, hang beneath you and just sort of dangle. Very exciting, ride, long one of my favorites, as I've always like the inverted coasters. I had been on the ride, hundreds of times, felt pretty safe in it, as it is just a ride. Unfortunately this particular time, as I reached the top of the first hill, and began to drop, the harness, which holds me in, unlocked. I was left dangling, and had to use all my strength to hold myself into the chair, for what seemed like an eternity, till the ride stopped. It was exceedingly difficult because, at a point in the ride there is a loop, which acts as a slingshot, throwing you forward. Knowing this as I had been on the ride many times before, I was able to brace myself to keep from being thrown clear. Had it been my first time on the ride however I probably would have died. The issue is, I told the attendants on the ride, what had happened, and they shuffled me off. Payed no attention to me and continued loading the ride, without checking to be certain it was safe. I did the only thing I could at that point and simply told the guy in line behind me not to sit in my seat, and was quickly escorted away from the ride. This is not the only time I had an issue on a ride at 6 fags however, at the same 6 flags, I was on the super man, the one which is not quite like the one at Agawam but fun just the same. As the ride was beginning, it stalled and got stuck 3/4's of the way up the track, and we were trapped there for over an hour in the sun, while the maintenance crew attempted to free the ride. This problem of the super man becoming stuck, I know is a frequent occurrence, because every time I go to the new York park it gets stuck at least twice. I have never brought these issues up with 6 flags and never mentioned it, and I still go to 6 flags for the simple fact that im a thrill seeker, and there is nothing more thrilling then an amassment park ride that might kill you, or may im just stupid. Either way, hearing about the man being killed upset me because it could very easily have been me, and I never told my story. But I have experienced 6 flags carefree approach to maintenance, and seeing as it has led to a death, I feel guilty for never saying anything before. Posted May 3, 2004 at 6:49 PM From Robert Niles
When I worked Thunder at Disney World, we would not let anyone ride who could not sit up by himself, unassisted by others. While I know nothing more about this incident than what's been reported and linked to on this thread, the issue of access for persons with disabilities is an interesting one.Posted May 3, 2004 at 7:52 PM Ride designers make certain assumptions when they create a restraint system. Among them are that the rider will be of certain size (that's why we have minimum heights) and that the rider will have the motor function to control his own body. Take away any of those assumed conditions, and you're endangering that rider by putting him on that ride. Courts and legislators can decide if a ride's *design" meets ADA requirements. But operational procedures cannot effectively substitute for design changes. A ride's *operator* should never overlook the assumptions behind the design of a ride in an effort to accomodate more passengers. From Kelly Carneiro
I was at the park the day of the accident. I was on the Jocker ride inside a building when it had happend. But my sister in law was on the Poison Ivy at the time it happend which is right next to the Superman. She said that she had heard the ride come to a screching halt. Like Barbara my sister inlaw was on the Superman at about 1:00. She had told me the exact same thing about the restrant.I have to respond to Chuck Allen I was coming off of the Batman roller coaster at about 7:00 p.m. and the ride called Double Trouble was upside down for 20 minutes no one was hurt and there was park safty crew, security, and an ambulance was at the sean almost instantly. When they got the ride down(manually) They did not let anyone off the ride until everyone was completly checked out. they all got water and I'm sure there tickets for the day was refunded to them all. I was so shocked to here at 10:00 p.m. what had happend that day at the park. There was so many rumors going around I didn't know what to beleive. When I was on the Batman Coaster I had asked the worker there as to why Superman was close the only thing she had told me was that she could not discuss what had happend. I feel so sorry for the family for that man. But like him I to have an illness. I have MS and if I can get on the ride myself I would be pretty mad if they told me I could not get on. But I don't look like I'm sick so I'm sure they would never tell me such a thing. And they are really good at double checking the restrants.And they will double check them if you ask. My sister in law did when she had gotten on the ride a couple of hours before.And one last thing I hope the state is to make them change the restrant on the ride it does not look like it is a very good one to begin with.Posted May 4, 2004 at 9:55 AM From Kelly Carneiro
Here is a good argument. Not saying that there was nothing wrong with the restraint but if the restraint was faulty wouln't you think that something would have happend at the 220 foot drop?Posted May 4, 2004 at 11:04 AM Good example. I was 14 I had gone on the cyclone for the first and last time. The bar did not come all the way down on my lap like it should have. I did not think any thing of it, I was 14. Over evey hill it took me all that I had to keep myself from falling out of the ride. It was a very long and frieghtning ride that I will never do again even though now I am 29 this month and weight a lot more. This is another reason why I have chosen not to go on the Superman ride. I feel that there should be a lot more than a t bar restraint for that ride. Cyclone's drops are no where close to that of Superman, nore the speed. From Robert Niles
I've always thought that on a well-designed coaster, the restraint system would be redundant. The ride's momentum should work to keep you in your seat, even on curves and inversions. Good "air time" effects shouldn't need restraints as the ride's momentum would push you off the seat only to have that seat "catch up" and collect you an instant later. Posted May 4, 2004 at 1:00 PM So the restraints would be there in case the ride does *not* function properly -- if the coaster stops suddenly or in an awkward place on the track. Unfortunately, people are conditioned to believe that the restraints are all that holds them in on a ride. So if the restraint fails, or doesn't hold the rider as tightly as they'd like, many riders tense up, and "fight" the ride, rather than allowing their body's momentum to go with it. That creates the feeling that you're about to fall out. And if a rider "fights" the ride's momemntum too hard -- through voluntary or involuntary movement or by being the wrong size or shape for the ride -- experience has shown that riders can fall out. Of course, I'm not willing to put this thought to the test, and ride a coaster without a restraint. My life's not worth gambling on any single machine's flawless operation. I believe in good restraint systems. That's why I use them, never cheat them and checked them on every row of riders that ever came through my station. From Coaster Enthusiast
Very interesting thought on restraint systems. As posted, the restraints on Cyclone are flawed. I sat next to a VERY large man. The lap bar did not even come close to my legs. As Robert pointed out, on a well designed ride, the carriage would 'catch up' to the rider on airborne acrobats. However, I was thrown so hard into the lap bar I continue to have difficuly in my left leg at my knee joint.Posted May 5, 2004 at 9:49 AM So sad to hear about what happened on Superman. My final season's adventure was to be at SFNE. I hope safety will be their #1 effort throughout this season! From Derek Potter
There are some instances on a ride when restraints are put to good use. Hitting the bunny hills and getting lots of air time is made possible by restraints. Im sure that Superman has a few of those hills. Over the shoulder restraints are a necessity if you want a hyper-element coaster, because without some form of stability, one could get hurt. A good coaster design doesn't always keep you in your seat or sitting still, however they also don't require a 5 point harness. The designers count on the restraints in key moments on the ride such as airtime, inversions, highly banked turns, etc. Intamin thrill rides, such as Millenium Force or Superman, utilize the lap bar more to stabilize the rider so that they can enjoy the elements without moving FROM SIDE TO SIDE, while enjoying moments of big airtime and 120 degree banked curves. Posted May 5, 2004 at 10:29 AM Having ridden in Intamin trains many times, I think that the particular restraints in question are one of the best designs in the business. They allow freedom of movement while minimizing the discomfort of a lapbar. They allow Intamin trains to have open air sides to increase the thrill factor, and the seats that go with them are also good. The bucket design with theater style elevation in the back seats goes as far for safety as it does for comfort and thrill. If this style of restraint can take the extreme forces and pressure of Top Thrill Dragster (420ft 120 mph) and Millennium Force (310ft 94mph), then it can withstand the somewhat slower and slightly weaker forces of Superman (220ft 80 mph). If you ask me, Massachusetts should be looking at other factors in this incident before the T-Bar restraint. From Robert Niles
We've been over the problems with bench seat lap bars before, but Coaster Enthusiast's point is worth noting. Posted May 5, 2004 at 1:46 PM Ultimately, restraints are all about comfort. Both the physical comfort of keeping your body and its momentum where it needs to be on the ride, and the mental comfort of knowing that you are secure even as the ride twists, flips and turns. If a restraint doesn't make you comfortable, it is not doing its job. From Amanda LaFrance
wabc radio in ny just reported that the cause of the accident was the failure of the park employees to properly secure the restraintsPosted May 7, 2004 at 6:10 AM From John Lumsden
Actually, the final report will assign blame to the ride operators as well as the ride manufacturer and finally the accident victim. It will state that the victims wide girth prevented the t-bar lap restraint from fitting firmly against his thighs. The ride operator should have noted this and denied access. The accident victim was 5-2 230lbs. Also noted in the report will be that he failed to notify ride operators of his pre-existing medical condition, cerebal palsy, as required by Ma. state law. As a side note the report will mention a similiar accident at SF in New York in 1999 which resulted in Intamin installing the seat belts. The accident victim survived and subsequently won 4 million dollars in damages.Posted May 7, 2004 at 3:46 PM From Derek Potter
The final report places blame on a few things. Here is a summary. The rider was of a unique size, and the T Bar restraint wasn't compatible with his particular size. The ride ops moved him to the front seat because it had a bigger seat belt. The belts in the front car are longer in order to accommodate larger guests. There are conflicting reports as to how tight the belts and restraints actually were. When the train left the station, the T Bar was not fastened tightly to the rider, and when the train hit the bunny hills, which are more intense in sequence the rider was knocked more and more loose, and by the time the last bunny hill led into the helix, the rider was hanging over the side of the car. By this time, the restraints were in a totally ineffective position and he was thrown out. The report seems to place the bulk of the responsiblilty on the ride ops and their failure to recheck and recognize the poor position and inadequacy of the T Bar for that particular rider. When combined with the riders body frame and health, along with the misinformation about the seat belts, it made for a terrible accident. Posted May 9, 2004 at 5:29 PM I can understand the nature of the Mass gov't wanting to react to the accident, I can't see where the blame falls on the T Bar. The fact of the matter is that it wasn't used properly and to the specifications of the manufacturer. It's accidents like these that make the industry and its patrons understand phrases such as "guests of exceptional or unique size" or all of those warnings about safety risks, loose restraints, and the fact that even though roller coasters are fun, they are still heavy machinery, and should be treated as such with respect and regard for those who ride it.

My current approach is to use robots and biologically realistic neural models to explore how humans develop from drooling infants to (less drooling) toddlers.
I am at present stationed in the Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) lab, which has recently moved to Tufts University.

text: Apple's MacBook Air 13″: The perfect ultrabook (review) July 16, 2012 6:00 AM | James Pikover In the constant cycle of tablet and smartphone news, the seemingly minor upgrade to Apple's MacBook Air barely made headlines. That's not really surprising, especially after the announcement of the Retina ready MacBook Pro. A next generation Intel CPU and graphics processor, USB 3.0 ports, and more flash storage don't sound all that impressive.

When I was younger, my mother opened up bank accounts for my brothers and I. We received an allowance and were encouraged to save a portion of it; however, the decision of how much was ours. As we aged we were able to see that money grow. It taught us discipline and finances. We learned to budget for our pleasures, as well as for what we deemed "necessities". We learned to delay an instant gratification to receive a larger one down the line. It inspired us to save and taught us before we went out into the world ourselves. It was a wonderful learning lesson from our mother, that I am trying to pass along to my own boys by giving them an allowance (age appropriate) and having them budget for their wants and needs.
For that reason, I'm always on the lookout for companies that will help me reinforce these lessons with my own children. Thats why I was so happy when I discovered that TD Banks is giving their Youth Savers an incentive to read AND to save! They are paying your children $10 to read ten books before September 30, 2009.
In order to qualify for this incentive you must have or must open a Youth Savers account. Its a passbook savings account that allows them to watch their savings grow.
The Youth Saver account is for anyone younger than 21; however, I do not suggest it for kids older than 14 as their rate is pretty low. Teens, with their parents support, can open regular accounts that include debit and credit card options. I do, however, think that TD Bank's Youth Saver passbook account is a great teaching opportunity for children under 14. It can benefit your child in various ways, including but not limited to:
- Teaching them that there is a cause and effect with money (Read and earn, just like a job)
- Teaching them how banks function (interest rates, how to make deposits, withdrawals, etc.)
- Teaching them to save and budget for any items they may want
- Teaching them basic skills that they will utilize the rest of their lives
Teach them early to stash that ca$h, a skill they will never forget, whether you use TD Bank or another! Prepare them and they'll be ready to conquer the world!

Ansonborough Inn, Charleston

Tel: 800 522 2073

Fax: 843 577 6888
Concierge.com's insider take:
Rustic-cum-nautical décor and huge rooms, big enough to house an entire family, set this all-suite B&B apart from the historic district's lace-and-doily crowd. Lord Anson of England, a master sailor, won the property in a spirited poker game with famous Charlestonian Thomas Gadsden. The inn now sports exposed brick, pine beams, wood ceilings, and clubby leather chairs. Each of the 37 units is unique; some have lofts with separate sleeping areas, five have fireplaces. All are decked out in faux antique furniture, original art, and warm fabrics. Wine and cheese is served on the rooftop terrace against a backdrop of the city's skyline. An authentic British pub pours pints, spirits, and wine. And the South Carolina Aquarium is just a short walk away.

Kraft Zesty launches new 'Let's Get Zesty' integrated campaign via Being, Los Angeles
Kraft and Being Los Angeles have unveiled a new campaign for Kraft Dressings called "Let's Get Zesty."
Featuring TV, print, online and social, the TVCs launched exclusively on the Bravo entertainment network during the popular Real Housewives of Orange County season premiere. In the TVC, the audience is introduced to the Zesty Guy (@thezestyguy,) the host of a parody cooking show, who demonstrates how to add a little zest to meal preparation.
Each of the TV commercials has a surprising twist at the end and reminds the viewer how they can put a little zest in everyday moments, while giving them a new way to look at dressings. Further online shorts will run on www.bravotv.com and reflect some popular Bravo TV moments through their story lines.
Following the commercial's debut, the Zesty Guy will make an appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live as Andy Cohen's guest barman. At the website www.getmezesty.com consumers can create digital Zestygrams, personalizing and customizing messages featuring the Zesty Guy, to send to friends.
Print will also run in popular women's magazines, including People, Glamour, Cosmopolitan and US Weekly.
Says Patrick O'Neill, Being executive creative director: "With this campaign, we wanted to disrupt an overly pragmatic category. It talks to women in a more entertaining way, during their "me" time and taps into pop culture. It was created by women and for women, with one thing in mind: getting women zesty."
The campaign was created by Being Los Angeles, supported by Shopper Arts Network for consumer promotions and media agency, Starcom.

Being/LA..congrats..finally someone realized that women look at advertising too!! So tired of angels in push up bras..really?? This guy with tongue in cheek humor could sell me anything!
Bravo Kraft and BLA!
More please!
I opened my People Magazine only to find a Kraft ad, Get Me Zesty, which had a picture that I consider soft porn. Why does your corporation feel they need to peddle soft porn to get consumers to purchase a salad dressing. Very poor taste and a serious error in judgment.
I agree with Donna. The People magazine 2-page spread is selling something other than salad dressing. Listen, I'm no prude, but IMO this ad is more suited to one of the swinger websites I belong to, not a cheesy family entertainment magazine. Please consider what might be a more age-appropriate audience (Cosmo, More, etc) for this ad.
this is the first time I have ever written a company concerning an ad. however, this ad requires a comment. I do not think it is appropriate for people mag or any other for that matter. young girls look at these mags. put these ads in playboy/playgirl not mags on newsstands.
Your porn "guy" is a poor example of your product. Nothing with the name of KRAFT will enter my home again.
Beats the heck out of having to watch all the "Viagra" commercials, where the men take a pill(s) to help them have sex!!! Later the couple Is in a bath tub out in the middle of NO where. Com'on...there is NOTHING wrong with the Zesty commercials. All creatures are sexual.....all but the Nuns & Priests"....well I'll leave the "priests" comments alone!!!

The Special Needs of African-American Hair
Previous Page
It is important to remember that
damaged hair
cannot be "cured". The only option is to treat the hair with products that will protect it from further damage and help the hair to "look" healthy. Think on this when you are thinking of trying to lighten your hair. The first time you run your fingers through your hair and pull away with a handful of broken ends it will be too late.
All of these processes lead to stressed-out and weakened hair, prone to breaking. Because of this, Ethnic hair undergoing these processes must be treated frequently to strengthen the hair with proteins, re-hydrate the hair with moisture, and seal the hair against moisture loss. It's also imperative that the products used with Ethnic hair reflect these needs. There are many products currently available for Ethnic hair, and the hair care industry is releasing new product lines constantly.
In the case of Ethnic hair, it is important to use a gentle shampoo and
containing moisture-rich ingredients, and to condition the hair every day, even when you don't shampoo. It is also important to use a light, oil-based treatment to lock-in the moisture and prevent damage from styling. This becomes doubly important if you use heated appliances. Finally, consider a deep-conditioning treatment at least once a week, and protein treatments on at least a monthly basis.
By taking attentive care to the needs of Ethnic hair, you can be assured that you will have healthy hair with which you can be completely happy.

Don't get me wrong, I really have a healthy respect for and no fear of snakes-poisonous or not. I love to handle the ones I encounter in the wild (if they have the right disposition..) and I appreciate their beauty and unique place in our ecosystem. Definitely one on God's marvelous creatures. That said, the practice of using them in worship seems to come from a misunderstanding of the verse. Take the apostle Paul for instance; as recorded in Acts 28 was bitten by a serpent while gathering some wood for a fire. The fact that he didn't die amazed those watching for him to soon collapse and was "a sign" that he was being protected by God. He did not go out and find snakes or intentionally drink poison to prove to anyone that he had God's favor.
