Scientists Set Out To Find How Stereotypes Evolve Over Time
Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
Researchers said at the British Science Festival in Aberdeen that stereotypes evolve like languages.
A team at the University of Aberdeen designed an experiment using aliens, which is a similar approach used to study the origins and evolution of language.
The aliens invented by the team had different colors, shapes and sets of personality traits, such as arrogance, pushiness or selfishness.
The researchers then asked a volunteer to learn the characteristics assigned to each of the aliens. The information was refined by the volunteer and then passed down through a communication chain.
It started out as jumbled and complex individual characteristics, and traits ended up encompassed in sets of stereotypes.
Character traits became linked with form and color, such as blue aliens became perceived as arrogant, pushy and untrusting.
Dr. Doug Martin told the BBC that the information becomes simpler, more structured and more learnable over time, making people at the end of the chain far more knowledgeable than those at the start.
"It's essentially what stereotypes are – massively over-simplified but easily learnable associations between social groups and bits of information," Dr. Martin told BBC News.
The attributes associated with each group of aliens became more polarized as each of the stereotypes evolved.
"It's almost as if at the end of a chain you have the good guys and you have the bad guys", he told the British news agency.
Martin said while making a presentation at the Festival of Science in Aberdeen that the creation of stereotypes seems to occur in the same way messages become garbled in the children's game Chinese Whispers.
He said as information is passed from one person to the next, it gets chained as it moves down the chain.
Martin said he believes that understanding the process may suggest ways to modify it and possibly manipulate it for the good of society.
A June 1918 issue of the Ladies' Home Journal said that the accepted rule to choose a color for a newborn was that "pink for boys, and blue for the girls." The magazine claimed that pink was "a more decided and stronger color," whereas blue was "more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl." Martin used this as an example of a stereotype that has evolved and changed.
"Now we've established that stereotypes can form and change over time via social transmission we now want to see if we can manipulate these," he said.
"We structure the world in a categorical way – it seems our brains are set up to do that," he told the BBC. "People who want to eliminate stereotypes are missing the point."

AFRICA/MALI - Armed conflict exacerbates the already precarious country's education system
Barcelona (Agenzia Fides) - The armed conflicts underway in Mali continue to aggravate the already precarious education of children, and to cope with this emergency, the Spanish NGO Intervida is committed to the education of 738 displaced children in addition to the assistance to 20 thousand children who are victims of poverty. This state of insecurity and violence puts, especially children, at serious risk. It is estimated that 300 000 students were not able to return to school when the war broke out and 80% of school age refugee children do not attend the lessons. Even before the conflict, the education system in Mali was very precarious, with more than 800 thousand children excluded from the right to education.
According to the latest estimates of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the crisis which exploded in northern Mali earlier this year has caused the internal displacement of 200 thousand people towards Mopti, Ségou and Bamako, while 145 thousand people have sought refuge in the neighboring countries such as Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Niger, Algeria, Togo and Guinea. Intervida has been working in the region of Ségou since 2002, in favor of children's rights, and has integrated into its projects children displaced by the conflict, providing them with medical care and access to education.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's announcement of a shift in her government's Asia policy towards New Delhi — ahead of the just concluded state visit — should set the tone for the future of bilateral ties, already underpinned by the 2006 strategic partnership. The high-powered business delegation that accompanied Ms Merkel, representing the country's defence, education, and transport sectors, had an eye on India's expanding defence procurement market and growing infrastructure investment needs. The mobile science exhibition flagged off on Tuesday is a symbolic statement to ordinary Indians on Germany's technological prowess. But the European Union's biggest economy and world's largest exporter would like to see its share of Asia's gigantic market increase from the current meagre one per cent. Berlin's leadership sees good reason for optimism on this account, given the impressive growth in Indo-German trade, which has risen at an annual average of about 20 per cent since the economic reforms of 1991; the figure doubled last year. Moreover, India had registered a surplus for a number of years during that period. Germany, along with the other EU states, has been negotiating a reduction in import tariffs as intermediate goods account for a large proportion of India's trade. Mutual differences persist, however, on climate change. But Germany, as a member of the nuclear suppliers' group, has thrown its weight behind India's bid to enter the nuclear safeguards regime, pending the conclusion of its agreement with the United States.
The motives underlying Germany's new found India policy are evidently economic. But Berlin is equally keen to build on the common strengths of democratic institutions, rule of law, and pluralism. There is already considerable mutual appreciation of the present-day imperatives of consensual politics — a process that is facilitated by parliamentary exchanges. The grand coalition, Germany's ruling dispensation headed by Ms Merkel since 2005, is a classic example of traditional rivals, Social Democrats and the Christian Democratic Union, steering a mighty industrial power of post-World War II vintage into 21st century globalisation. An Indian parallel is the United Progressive Alliance government of Manmohan Singh, which is an instance of the parties of the political centre and the mainstream left finding common cause to address the country's challenges by leveraging its strengths on the international market. Together, the German and Indian models could well provide an answer to the blurring of the conventional political divide in many countries and the challenge from forces of the far-right, which as yet remain on the fringes.

A new mouse model, created by scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, suggests that what researchers have learned about the regulation of p53 activity from in vitro studies may not be relevant to living, breathing organisms. The Salk scientists' findings are published in this week's online early edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Until now, scientists had assumed, based on studies in cultured cells, that p53 had to be modified by attaching chemical groups to specific sites on the protein to function normally in the body. The new research indicates that these modifications are not necessary to activate p53 under conditions of stress or to prevent p53 from throwing a wrench into the cell cycle machinery, when nothing is wrong.
"The chemical modifications of the p53 protein that we thought were essential for its normal function may just fine-tune the activity of the protein under physiological conditions in a living organism, but they are not essential," explains lead investigator professor Geoffrey M. Wahl. "This new study focuses our attention on the network of regulators of p53 and how they are regulated."
"This study caused a big shift in how we think about p53," explains Salk scientist and first author Kurt Krummel. "You have to look at all interacting partners because after all, modifications of p53 itself might not be so important as modifications of negative regulators and co-activat

Last word on SB 21
Alaska voters will settle debate over oil tax cut
The referendum to repeal Senate Bill 21, the oil tax cut, won certification for the August 2014 primary ballot last week. Backers gathered more 45,000 valid signatures, about 15,000 more than needed.
So now all Alaska voters will either confirm or reject the judgment of Gov. Sean Parnell and the Legislature.
This will be the hottest issue on the primary ballot.
With this vote Alaskans will not only be deciding the merits of one bill, but saying something about what Alaska's relations should be with the most powerful industry in the state, just how we define the "owner state" and just how much faith we have in our elected representatives.
Need more? The vote on the SB 21 repeal may well tell us how the governor's race and some legislative races will go.
There's good reason to put this one before all Alaskans, aside from the fact that 45,000 Alaskans have called for a vote.
• The oil tax issue affects all Alaskans. That in itself is not necessarily reason to put the issue on the ballot. We govern ourselves in a republic, through elected representatives, not by direct democracy. But the Alaska Constitution allows for direct democracy if enough of its people call for a popular vote on all but a few issues, and the state's courts have maintained a liberal view of what Alaskans may vote on.
Oil is the state's economic lifeblood. Everything from the health of our Permanent Fund to the quality of our schools, from fish and game management to public safety, draws on the wealth that our constitution says belongs to all of us in common. When enough Alaskans aren't satisfied with how our representatives have voted, they can claim the legislative power for themselves and their fellow Alaskans to settle the issue. That's what's going on here.
• While the passage of some sort of oil tax cut was a foregone conclusion in the state House, the Senate, even after the 2012 elections that finished the bipartisan coalition, passed the bill by only an 11-9 vote -- and two of the senators who voted yes work directly for the oil industry. The vote on SB 21 won't resolve the broader ongoing issue of legislative conflicts and how lawmakers treat them, but will resolve any questions of legitimacy in this case.
• Because all of us will have a voice, we dilute our own self-interests and take the special-interest, lobbying power out of the equation. It won't be enough to persuade a few people in the Capital Building.
That's not to say we're in store for a civics book exercise, pure as the driven snow. The campaign to come could spin us dizzy. Conventional wisdom says results in a referendum such as this can be bought. Sure, but only if we're lazy, only if we're willing to sell. We should look for facts, not cries of falling skies; for context, not just cherry-picked numbers.
No question, it's a big decision. And now it's ours to make.
BOTTOM LINE: Alaska's voters will have the last word on Senate Bill 21.

Shirley was a blessing. We encountered several issues with our buyer she never left me behind, she worked so hard to get everything done.
Other than duplicating herself so she can be with more clients at the same time there is no other suggestion I have. She is and was a wonderful agent. I couldn't have closed without her. I can be impatient and tempermental but Ms. Shirley always reassured me by applying her knowledge to my situation. She kept me informed of any changes and soon as she knew. Her professional demeanor went above being a real estate agent and I will recommend her to everyone I know. Thank you Mrs. MItchem.

Each of the two French words involved in the name 'chasse-marée' has a range of meanings but in this instance, they are chasser 'to impell' or 'to drive forward' and une marée, 'a landing of fresh sea fish'.
The most prolific fish such as herring are abundant in given waters only in their season so keeping them for use out of season required salting or smoking them. This permitted their sale in inland markets too but fresh fish tasted better so long as it really was fresh. There was therefore a premium on fresh fish in this top end of the market. The medieval chasse-marée merchants catered to this originally by carrying fish in pairs of baskets on pack ponies, as far as possible, overnight. They rushed la marée (the batch from a particular landing) to market but the distance coverable before the fish deteriorated was limited. Another problem was that every lord through whose manor the road led wanted his toll so that if the road was too long, the enterprise became less economic.
Later, where the quality of the road permitted, the range might be extended by the use of charrettes (carts). When designed for this trade, with a minimum of weight put into their construction and provision for harnessing the four horses, these vehicles took the name of chasse-marée. As speed was essential, they were normally hauled by two pairs of horses rather than the single horse which is normal for a cart. The vehicle took the form of two wheels, of a diameter large enough to minimize the slowing effect of bumps in the road. On their axle was mounted an open rectangular frame within which were slung the baskets holding the fish, packed in seaweed. More baskets were stacked above. The teams of usually fairly small horses were worked hard and changed at posting stations in the same way as those of mail coaches.
The coast supplying Paris by road was originally, that which was nearest to its market, around Le Tréport and Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. At its most developed, it extended from Fécamp to Calais including such places as Dieppe, Boulogne-sur-Mer and Etaples.
On the coast of Brittany, originally in the southern part, later known as Morbihan, from the eighteenth century, fast luggers bought fish from the fishermen at sea and carried it to the Loire and Gironde for sale in the markets of Nantes and Bordeaux.
With the spread of wealth within places like Paris, the market expanded and supplies were sought from more distant coasts. In the nineteenth century, these Breton three-masted luggers began to bring fish from ports further north on the Breton coast and from fishing boats off its coast, into the Seine estuary for sale in Rouen and for transshipment up to Paris. In such waters, a vessel without engines relied heavily on the skilful use of tides. Here, the parallel tidal meaning of marée and the catching of the tide became relevant to prosecuting the trade. It may be this which led the compiler of the Oxford English Dictionary to translate the vessel's name as 'tide-chaser'. This translation is accurate provided less-relevant meanings of the two component words are taken.
According to the Naval Maquette (Ship Model) site, the chasse marées took return cargoes where they were available, so tended to move into the cabotage trade. That is to say; coastal tramping. In particular, having taken fish south to Bordeaux, they would return with salt from Charente Inférieur, as it was then known (Lower Charente) or from Vendée to more northerly coasts of France. Early vessels were replaced progressively by the luggers, then dundees, brigs and schooners. The rig called in French dundee is a little obscure. The Nouveau Petit Larousse Illustrée (1934) describes it only as a 'large sailing ship'. Other available dictionaries ignore it but the Mandragore II site describes it as a gaff ketch and says that the rig was used principally in lobster boats and herring drifters. The article includes an illustration showing a vessel well adapted to the chasse-marée trade, with a large sail area and strikeable bowsprit and bumkin. Apparently, the yawl rig (cotre à tapecul) used by French tunnymen was sometimes but improperly called a dundee.
The days of the chasse-marée were numbered but still the marée in both senses, ruled the life of the longshore fishermen of the tidal French coasts. The chasse-marée boat seems to have persisted for some years by using its crew's capacity to buy on the fishing grounds and bringing the marée ashore. In that way, the vessel, designed for speed, permitted the fishing fleets to develop into working more distant waters, a process which developed further when it was possible to obtain ice and ultimately, refrigeration.
By this stage, the chasse-marée had receded into the romance of history. That process was under way when Monet painted several pictures of the boats on the lower Seine in 1872.
Some horse lovers are attracted to the idea of driving a version of the chasse-marée carts, as a recreation.

Final Score: Northern Illinois 65, Toledo 30
DeKalb, IL (Sports Network) - Chad Spann scored three touchdowns on the ground
and Northern Illinois ran all over Toledo en route to a 65-30 drubbing in a
battle of the top two teams in the Mid-American Conference's West Division.
Chad Harnish had a terrific day under center, throwing for 162 yards and a
touchdown on 11-of-16 efficiency while also amassing 149 yards and a score on
13 carries for the Huskies (8-2, 6-0 MAC), winners of seven straight overall.
Spann had 70 yards on 20 totes and Akeem Daniels added two TD runs,
highlighting an attack that rushed for 422 yards.
Adonis Thomas paced the Rockets (6-4, 5-1) with 152 yards and two scores on 10
carries, while Terrance Owens threw for 186 yards with two touchdowns and an
interception on 18-of-38 passes in the loss, the program's first since a
defeat at Boise State a month ago.
NIU held the ball for the first 7:20 of the game, and Spann capped the 14-
play, 74-yard drive with a one-yard plunge.
Daniels got a 21-point second quarter started with a 12-yard run 3 1/2 minutes
into the stanza, and after Toledo missed a field goal, Nathan Palmer hauled in
a 33-yard bomb for a 21-0 lead.
In the final minute of the half, Harnish took it himself on a draw around the
right end 28 yards for a comfortable margin going to the locker room.
Harnish was sacked in the end zone by Alex Johnson for a safety early in the
third quarter, and, following the free kick, Thomas went in from 18 yards out
for a 28-9 game less than five minutes into the third.
Spann answered with a five-yard score, and Thomas came right back with a 60-
yard dash to pay dirt.
That was as close as the Rockets got, as Daniels narrowly reached the ball
over the goal line at the tail end of a 50-yard gallop, and Spann barreled in
for an eight-yard score following an Owens interception later in the third.
Eric Page hauled in a three-yard TD pass from Owens in the final minute of the
quarter, but Tommy Davis took the ensuing kickoff back 83 yards for a 56-23
In the fourth, NIU's Michael Cklamovski added a 43-yard field goal and Jasmin
Hopkins went 55 yards for yet another long TD for the hosts.
Jerome Jones' five-yard TD reception in the final minute accounted for the
final score.

Friday, I concluded a four-part history of the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan: why it was written, how it has been applied, and why it has been updated. Together, I think the four essays provide a good overview of most of the key events that influenced the original plan and its two revisions, from the point at which the Forest Preserve was created in 1885, to how we arrived at the master plan that we have today. » Continue Reading.

DEC Opens Backcountry Roads To Motor Vehicles
The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has opened new roads and facilities on nearly 25,000 acres of forest preserve and conservation easement lands in the Adirondacks.
New roads and facilities will allow motor vehicles to access the 18,000-acre Kushaqua Tract Conservation Easement Lands in Franklin County using the 3.3-mile Mountain Pond Road, and the 1,600-acre public use area of the Township 19 Tract Conservation Easement Lands in Hamilton County using the 2.6 miles of O'Neil Flow Road and Barker Pond Road.

The New Trails To OK Slip Falls, Hudson River
It's a gloomy Saturday morning with rain in the forecast, but we're determined to see OK Slip Falls. When we sign the register, we learn we are not alone: four other parties have preceded us on the trail to the tallest waterfall in the Adirondacks.
Added to the Forest Preserve last year, OK Slip Falls has become a popular destination since the state Department of Environmental Conservation opened a trail this year. Long owned by Finch, Pruyn & Company, the waterfall had been closed to the public for a century before the state bought it from the Adirondack Nature Conservancy. As a result of the acquisition, the falls and other state lands in the vicinity are part of the recently created Hudson Gorge Wilderness.
The hike to the falls is fairly easy: a three-mile walk through a handsome forest, with hardly any elevation gain, leads to an overlook with a spectacular view of the 250-foot cascade. Those seeking a harder challenge can extend the outing by hiking a mile or so from the falls to the Hudson River, a side trip that will require a steep climb on the return.
Dave Gibson On Essex Chain Plan:
Does It Comply? Does Anyone Care?
The draft Unit Management Plan (UMP) for the Essex Chain of Lakes is out and available for public comment until July 18th. To discerning readers, it will be clear that many of its recommendations and management actions, which the APA must deem to be in compliance with the State Land Master Plan, are just going ahead anyway. For example, primitive tent sites, parking lots and other facilities throughout are being completed this summer "prior to adoption of the Unit Management Plan." These are not interim steps. These are final decisions as to number, design, and location.
I understand why the State appears to be rushing to complete this parking and camping by permit system on the Essex Chain and Upper Hudson River. These are vulnerable aquatic systems and nobody wants to establish an early pattern of recreational overuse which could degrade these ponds and their shorelines and rare ecological plant and fish communities. I conceptually support this UMP's camping permit reservation system. It makes management and stewardship sense, as does the inclusion of the Student Conservation Association and the Adirondack Interpretive Center in managing such a camping reservation system. » Continue Reading.

The classification of the properties, formerly owned by Finch Pruyn & Company, was endorsed by the Adirondack Park Agency on December 13, 2013 as the preferred alternative.
The plan will allow recreation access to the newly acquired lands for people of all abilities for a wide variety of uses including hiking, paddling, cross country skiing, hunting, fishing, mountain biking, horse riding and snowmobiling. » Continue Reading.
New State Lands: An Explanation and Analysis
After months of public debate and behind-the-scenes negotiations, the Adirondack Park Agency voted in December to prohibit motorized recreation on most of the former Finch, Pruyn timberlands the state purchased from the Nature Conservancy a year ago.
The unanimous decision will create a 23,494-acre Hudson Gorge Wilderness and ensure that the quiet of the remote Essex Chain Lakes will not be disturbed by motorboats. Under the APA plan, the lakes will be the centerpiece of a 9,940-acre Essex Chain Primitive Area. » Continue Reading.
APA Approves Finch, Pruyn Classifications:
Hudson Gorge Wilderness, Motorless Essex Chain Lakes
The Adirondack Park Agency voted unanimously today to approve a staff recommendation to create a 23,494-acre Hudson Gorge Wilderness Area and a 9,940-acre Essex Chain Primitive Area on lands once owned by the Finch, Pruyn paper company.
The vote climaxed a year of work that included public hearings, which elicited thousands of comments, and negotiations between state officials and various stakeholders.
Underscoring the importance of the decision was that Basil Seggos, Governor Andrew Cuomo's deputy secretary for the environment, drove up from Albany to attend the APA's meeting.
APA Lays Out Options For New State Lands
The staff of the Adirondack Park Agency has proposed seven options for the classification of 22,538 acres of former Finch, Pruyn & Company lands recently acquired by the state, all calling for the creation of a Hudson Gorge Wilderness.
The size of the new Wilderness Area—which would require the reclassification of lands already in the Forest Preserve—would range from 18,829 acres to 45,347 acres, depending on the option.
Under six of the proposals, the Wilderness Area would extend from just south of Newcomb through the Hudson Gorge to just north of the hamlet of North River. Under the other proposal, part of the river corridor would instead be classified a Canoe Area.
Because motorized use is forbidden in Wilderness Areas, local governments often oppose such a classification in favor of Wild Forest, which is less restrictive. However, Fred Monroe, executive director of the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board, thinks local officials can accept the creation of a Hudson Gorge Wilderness. The battle, he said, is likely to be waged over the classification of the nearby Essex Chain of Lakes and the degree of motorized access to both the Essex Chain and the Hudson. » Continue Reading.
DEC Plan for Former Finch Lands Unveiled
The state Department of Environmental Conservation is proposing to classify the Essex Chain of Lakes and the surrounding landscape Wild Forest, a designation that environmental activists contend will allow too much motorized access.
Under DEC's proposal, 13,000 of the Essex Chain Tract's 18,000 acres would be classified Wild Forest. It would be called the Essex Chain Canoe Recreation Area. The other 5,000 acres, in the vicinity of the Hudson River, would become part of a Hudson Gorge Wilderness Area. The Wilderness Area would incorporate other lands that the state owns or intends to buy.
The Adirondack Council, Protect the Adirondacks, and the Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) all want to see the bulk of the Essex Chain Tract classified Wilderness. (Click here to read about the council's and Protect's rival visions for the tract.) The major difference between Wilderness and Wild Forest is that motorized use is forbidden in Wilderness Areas. » Continue Reading.

As the Fed meets and earnings news rains down, the big question in the week ahead is whether the S&P 500 can manage a break out.» Read More
Eckhart's Peter Costa has three long-term stock picks, giants in their sectors — banking, industrials, and conglomerates — that all begin with G.
Cramer makes the call on viewers' favorite stocks.
Here's Cramer list of names investors might want depending on who wins Tuesday's election.
Sales of physical gold reached record heights as investors sought the traditional safety of precious metals. "Since Sept. 15, I'd say business is up 300 percent," said Mark Albarian, CEO of Goldline, told CNBC.
When you take a look at what is oversold in the market, there comes a point when people seem to say enough is enough.
Here's our Fast Money Final Trade. Our gang gives you Monday's best trades, right now!
Inflation backlash?! That's what Rob Lutts predicts. So the founder and CIO of Cabot Money Management suggests preparing an anti-inflation strategy: gold ETFs and stocks.
Three market predictions: Robin Griffiths at Cazenove Capital told CNBC he sees the euro falling to $1.30 — and possibly lower; the S&P 500 will continue to plummet; and gold may slip to $750 — before rallying toward $1,400.
Gold prices rallied 14 percent over the last two weeks as stocks declined — but the precious metal is down for the quarter. But Dan Smith of Standard Chartered remains bullish.
The Dow, Nasdaq and S&P are down (as of this writing); oil, gasoline and natural gas are up. The dollar is down against the euro and the British pound. So where is gold headed? Up, says BlackRock's Evy Hambro.
Precious metals still have plenty of upside, two strategists told CNBC. Evaristo Stanziale, senior vice president at SCS Commodities, and Mark Hansen, director of trading at CPM Group, offered their insights into gold and other safe-haven commodities.
Cramer makes the call on viewers' favorite stocks.
Precious metals are about to jump. So says Peter McGuire, managing director at Commodity Warrants Australia. He offered his commodities insights to CNBC.
For the week ending Friday, August 22, 2008, the U.S. major Indices fell for the week on the unknown future of mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, downbeat home construction July data, and soaring producer prices. The NASDAQ Composite performed the worst for the week, declining 1.54%, its steepest decline since Independence Day week. However, Friday was a positive day for the markets helped by a welcome speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and a pull back in the price of crude. The Dow had three days of triple-digit point gains & losses, netting to finish almost flat for the week.
Banks are a big story but they're not the only story. Following are the Fast Money tech trades and more!
The recent correction in gold and oil prices might not be completely over. Stefan Risse, chief market strategist at CMC Markets, told CNBC why he thinks investors should be wary.
Gold demand is soaring. George Milling-Stanley, manager of gold market analysis at World Gold Council, offered CNBC some fun facts about the "6,000-year-old hedge" -- and why he wishes he could buy more of it.
Cramer recommended stocks he thinks could see a gain going into the Republican National Convention.
Following are the week's biggest winners and losers. Find out why shares of T. Rowe Price and Honda popped while General Motors and Costco dropped.
After the close, Washington Mutual reported earnings notably below expectations. The bad news is that there is more credit deterioration, which is creating more provisions for losses. The good news is the company felt they had "sufficient capital", with $40 b of available liquidity at the end of the quarter, and that 2008 would be the peak year of loss provisioning.

It's April–the month that houses Earth Day. Which means that you might be experiencing a rush of media extolling the virtues of reusable shopping bags, the evils of single use water bottles, and the importance of organic food. And seasonal food. And local food. And so on. All important issues, but I'm guessing a lot of you know about these things by now. So may I interest you in some other ideas on how to make an impact with your food choices?
Don't get me wrong. My closet's packed with cheerleading outfits for the basic tenets of green eating: local, seasonal, organic. They are, in my opinion, vastly important. So I'll pay tribute to them, quickly, in tip number one–and then cut to the chase with six other tips that see less of the spotlight.

A control group of 30 people matched for age, sex, education, ethnicity and meditation experience was assessed at the same time and in the same place, but did not otherwise attend meditation training at that time.
The Shamatha Project has drawn the attention of scientists and Buddhist scholars alike, including the Dalai Lama, who has endorsed the project.
Saron and his colleagues are now analyzing and publishing other findings from the project. In a paper published this summer in Psychological Science, Katherine MacLean, a recent UC Davis Ph.D. graduate now at Johns Hopkins University, reported that meditators were better at making fine visual distinctions and sustaining attention over a long period.
The group's next research article, currently in press in the journal Emotion, will describe a meditation-related reduction in impulsive reactions, which was linked in turn to enhancement in positive psychological functioning. UC Davis postdoctoral researcher Baljinder Sahdra is the lead author on that paper.

Everton defender Phil Jagielka is convinced they're on the march to Europe.
With the Blues in fifth place in the Premier League, Jagielka admitted that the possibility of a return to European football is driving them on – especially after avoiding their previous habit of bad starts to the season.
"I think the disappointment of the starts of so many seasons has meant that you're sort of deflated before you're even 10 games in," he said.
"This season we've managed to keep ourselves in with a chance. We've not been this high up with as many points around Christmas for a long time. I wouldn't say pressure starts taking a place but it's a nice pressure. Rather than looking behind us thinking we need to win to stay out of the bottom three, it's a case of playing a day late at Newcastle and the pressure being on to stay with the leaders.
"That's a lot better and I'm sure if you asked the lads in the dressing room, it would be something that we all wanted.
"The march towards a European place is motivating us, but we're not looking too far ahead.
"The manager has said that and we haven't got the biggest of squads so we have to take it basically each game at a time. At the moment, that's not working too badly for us."

This year's theme is "LifeApps" with a focus on authentic living. Meshach Soli and his team are presenting the workshops - The Gospel According to "The X Factor". The "X Factor" of the title refers to the undefinable "something" that makes for star quality. In a culture that promotes self-centeredness we find that our youth have been misled to go in search of "something" (aside from God) to discover their own identity in the eyes of media, social network, self-help resources, and other worldly influences. This weekend will be focused on pointing our youth to the Real "X" factor in life which is Jesus Christ. This is where we find our true identity and purpose. Without Christ as the X factor in our lives we are all just living in a false Reality!
Focused Text: Matthew6:33 (MSG)
Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
Topics and Workshop Leaders: Keynote Speaker/General Sessions: Meshach Soli
CoXist - Workshop will be outdoors and will focus on team work. Media often times promotes self dependency in which we as Christians should do the opposite and find accountability with one another to help us develop in our faith.
The Xtraction of "Me" - Workshop focuses on the dangers of media and how it is often times focused on self-centeredness. As Christians our focus is on Jesus. HE>I
Xcuse my Reputation - Workshop focuses on the dangers of Social media and how we can use it for God's glory.
Xcape the Mold - Workshop focuses on how media promotes a self absorbing attitude that really doesn't set us apart but conforms us into a mold that takes away from the uniqueness of who God made us to be.
Created for Xcellence - Workshop focuses on Identity and knowing that our Bodies are the temple of God!
An Xotic Kind of Love - Workshop focuses on how Media/Hollywood promotes a provocative, physical, and uncommitted relationship with others. This session will share values on Christ Centered relationships.
Return to Pathfinder website.
The Pathfinder Club, a church-centered recreational-spiritual program, is designed for both boys and girls. The program offers action, adventure, challenge, and group activities that produce team spirit and loyalty to the church. Pathfinders are encouraged to complete their class studies to learn more about Jesus, by digging deep into the Bible and into God's second book, nature. One of the Pathfinder Clubs' basic purposes is to fulfill the Elijah message of Malachi in which the "hearts of the parents are turned toward their children and the hearts of the children are turned to their parents." As parents and church members work, worship, and play together with the Pathfinders, the so-called generation gap disappears in a bond of common experience. Children learn best by example; the whole Pathfinder philosophy is built on this idea. It is important, then, that spiritually committed, dedicated leaders of high principles be chosen to work with the Pathfinders.

TaylorMade's Mark King on the business of golf
Company back in the swing with $508 million quarter
Had we invested and not grown, you would probably be talking to somebody else. We have a great parent company. That allowed us to be creative and aggressive. So it's the combination of their support and our ability to create new and different products.
Q: What are the advantages of having Adidas as a parent company?
A: They let us do things that maybe you wouldn't do if you were a stand-alone company. And now we're gaining confidence so were taking more risk.
RocketBallz in and of itself was a risk — the name. A lot of people when they heard it said, "Well, it's not conservative golf, and it will offend touring professionals.' It did just the opposite. They loved it.
We had a parent company for many years, the Salomon Co. That was a great company. They had passion for products. But they were from the ski business and wanted to be very involved in making critical day-to-day decisions on running a golf business. That didn't work. Decisions were slow and many times the wrong decisions.
Adidas bought the company in 1998. They since sold off Salomon. They kept us. We run completely autonomous. They support us as much as they can financially when we want to make an investment like the purchase of Adams Golf.
Q: What does Adams Golf bring to the table?
A: Our company talks about really focusing on the zero to four handicap — the best of the best golfers. Now we sell a lot of products to people who aren't zero to four, but the voice of the company and the inspiration for products comes from zero to 4 handicap golfer. Adams Golf, although they make products for tour players, the focus of their company isn't the top of the playing pyramid. It's the middle of the playing pyramid.
So when we put these brands together, we going to talk about how we have the number one brand in golf, TaylorMade, and we have the No. 1 friendliest brand in golf, Adams.
Q: What's the future of golf look like?
A: The first spurt of growth would be from people who come into the game from a nontraditional way of entry, and once they get hooked on it, they move over to more traditional golf.
There is a (public) golf course in Minneapolis. It has an 18-hole course and a nine-hole course. They just converted the nine-hole course to a 15-inch cup for everybody. The feedback already is people are loving it. They're shooting lower scores. The pace of play is faster — all of the issues that have plagued new entrants to the game. Once you get hooked on the game, at some point you're going to say, "I want to play on the big course."
Q: What was it like appearing on "Undercover Boss"?
A: I learned that the people who work at our company and really at any company, they work really hard without a lot of appreciation. Even at a company like ours — and we do a lot of things to try to make people feel like we know who they are, we recognize them as human beings, we recognize what they do — the pace of work today is so fast, these people who do all the hard work. They need to be appreciated more.
And I definitely found out that when I say something, by the time it gets down to the guy doing the work, it doesn't even resemble what I originally said. So on the key message points we need to find a better way to communicate to people so they understand where we're going, how we're going to get there and what role they play in it.

Vfx artist Alex Brodie of Company 3 Santa Monica applied his subtle touch to BABY BOY, the new video from Beyoncé, helping to create a seductive setting for the sultry singer's duet with reggae rapper Sean Paul. Brodie enhanced virtually every scene in the video, affecting lighting and making numerous image manipulations, including adding to the "harem" that surrounds Paul in one of the video's most memorable scenes. BABY BOY, currently topping MTV's TRL Top10, is from Beyoncé's new album Dangerously In Love on Columbia.
Directed by Jake Nava of FM Rocks, the video cuts between Beyoncé and Sean Paul, who are pictured in an array of fabulous, dreamlike locations. Paul performs before a large circular window in the atrium of a oriental-styled home, and later lies on his back in a darkened room surrounded by what appears to be dozens of lightly clad women. In one of many scenes, Beyoncé is pictured floating on her back on a darkly rolling sea.
Nava shot the video in and near a palatial residence in Miami that provided a variety of architectural looks -- from a Japanese garden to an English tea room. In some instances, sets were built, including a large platform stage set on a beachfront where Beyoncé appears with a half dozen other dancers.
Post-production vfx and compositing work was intensive as Brodie altered the look of each setting, although primarily in ways that most viewers will not discern as visual effects. He enhanced or removed the skies from most exteriors so that each one has a consistent, idealized look. He also created lighting effects to highlight the central performers.
"We added smoke effects to the opening shots of Sean Paul and spotlight effects to the bed scenes to selectively emphasize or obscure areas of the picture," Brodie explained. "We did something similar for the scene with Beyoncé on the dance floor. We re-lit the image to make her stand out from the other performers. Since she was dancing, it would have been difficult to accomplish the same effect in camera while keeping the lighting perfect."
Brodie's most impressive achievement involved the harem scene where he multiplied the number of women who surround Paul. His challenge there was not only to make the replicants appear to be different individuals from the originals, but also to integrate them naturally. "It was tricky to get the shadows right and not have them overlap," he said. "As everyone is moving, the shadows, of course, had to react appropriately."
Brodie work was featured in four of five videos that were finalists for Best Female Video at this year's MTV Video Music Awards, including Beyoncé's CRAZY IN LOVE (featuring Jay-Z), which won the category.
Brodie was born in England and is a graduate of Ravensbourne College of Design located outside London. He began his career as a Harry artist with The Mill, London, and later joined FrameStore. At FrameStore, he was part of a vfx team that won Emmy Awards for Outstanding Visual Effects for Hallmark Home Entertainment's miniseries THE ODYSSEY and the BBC documentary WALKING WITH DINOSAURS. He also earned credits on scores of commercials for such advertisers as Nike, British Airways, Häagen-Dazs and the British bank Halifax.
Company 3 Santa Monica is located at 1661 Lincoln Blvd. Ste. 400 Santa Monica, California 90404. For more information, call Stefan Sonnenfeld at (310) 255-6600.

By Valerie email@example.com C.L. Shepherd has a message about overcoming adversity he wants to share with anyone who will listen. Born in Apopka, Fla., Shepherd is one of 15 siblings. His father went to prison for murder while his mother was still pregnant with him. His sister and older brothers went to prison for various offenses by the time he was 14. "I was asked by my mother to be the man of the house," said Shepherd, now a Hampton resident. "That was an oxymoron, because I had never seen a man in my house." On Sunday, Shepherd, a representative for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), who had a brief stint with the National Football League's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will give his testimony during the 10:45 a.m., worship service at Glen Haven Baptist Church. He is also the featured speaker for the church's 2 p.m., service. The church is located at 345 East Lake Road, McDonough. Shepherd becomes animated when he tells his story, his voice fluctuates as he recounts his experiences. As a teen, he took advantage of an opportunity to play football to earn a college scholarship. No male in his family had ever graduated from high school, or gone to college, he said. "I had never heard the word scholarship before." At age 15, Shepherd was invited to attend a men's prayer breakfast, and was later sent to a summer sports camp run by the FCA. Shepherd had a dramatic experience the second day of camp, when one of the college-athlete volunteers assigned to mentor him, gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder, and said there was a plan and a purpose for his life. "I had never heard that from a man before in my entire life," explained Shepherd. "I had been in cuffs before, I'd been stabbed six times, I'd been shot at, and shot at other people." The older athlete's influence made a difference in his life. Two years later, Shepherd had his choice of 27 Division I athletic scholarships, and 13 academic scholarships his senior year. He was the first male in his family to graduate from high school. "I am the product of someone taking the time to invest in my life," he added. "He really shaped me from boyhood to manhood." Shepherd was inducted into the Hall of Fame at Florida Atlantic University, and graduated from the school with Bachelor's degrees in Sociology and Corporate Communications. At age 21, he began training camp with the Buccaneers, but decided he was destined for something other than a career in professional sports. "I felt strongly that my purpose was not to be defined on a football field," said Shepherd. He became a representative for FCA and moved to Georgia to speak at local churches and schools on keeping a Christian perspective to lead a successful life. Some of the local churches where he has spoken on the need for adults to take an active role in children's lives include: Jonesboro First Baptist, Locust Grove First Baptist and Stockbridge First Baptist. Attendance for the Sunday afternoon service is expected to be between 500 and 600, said Warren Green, student pastor for Glen Haven Baptist Church. Green, a supporter of the FCA, met Shepherd soon after Shepherd moved to Georgia, and they became friends. "I played college football [at Georgia Tech] as well, so we have a lot in common," said the pastor. For information about the Super Bowl Sunday services, call (678) 432-5138. -- On the Internet: atlantafca.org

Under Cover Of Darkness
The Strokes
Slip back out of whack at your best
It's a nightmare
So I'm joining the army
No house phones, but can I still call?
Will you wait for me now?
We got the right 'cause they'll fight to use it
Got everything and you can just choose it
I won't just be a puppet on a string
Don't go that way
I'll wait for you
And I'm tired of all your friends
Listening at your door
And I want, what's better for you
So long my friend and adversary
But I'll wait for you
Get dressed, jump out of bed into a vest
Are you ok?
I've been out around this town
Everybody's singing the same song for ten years
I'll wait for you
Will you wait for me too?
And they sacrifice their lives
And the land of all closed eyes
I've been said it a billion times, and they'll say it again
So long, my adversary
And friend
Don't go that way
I'll wait for you
I'm tired of all your friends
Banging down your door
Get up in the morning and yelling no more
So long my friend, and adversary
I'll be waiting for you

video: critique my roundhouses
You might remember that other thread where I asked for critiques of my work on a heavy bag. There was a lot of noise, but I did get a lot of important feedback from folks, and so I went back to the lab. Also, I thought seeing myself on video was wonderfully useful.
A big problem people had with my last video was my roundhouse technique. In this video, I try to cover a range of how I might kick, just so people can go over and say, oh, B is more correct than A, or better technique, etc.
Context: I don't train in a class setting anymore, cuz I graduated and started working (very busily, apparently). So I have one guy who trains a little with me and the heavy bag. It's not a great situation; you can see how messy the area is, and that's after I cleaned up a lot. But it's most accessible to me now.
I'm just kicking the bag, one roundhouse at a time. To the body. It's very basic, but I know from talking on the last thread that there's some problems.
Goal: In the vid, I'm kicking off my left and right leads, just for variety. My regular stance is southpaw. But I'm naturally right handed, and feel my right kick is better.
I've done the kick 3 ways: my ideal, hard, and recommended.
my ideal - I'm doing it with my "good" form. Quotes because this is how I feel it's best to kick. So not done with power, just "good" form.
hard - don't worry about technique, just kick as I would in an actual match or fight, as fast and hard as I can.
recommended - this is what WhiteShark has been patiently trying to explain to me. Here, I visualize spinning all the way around and turning my hip over. I emphasize these things as much as possible during the kick.
Bad habits I already noticed:
Man I keep my hands low. This is a good catch by video. I seem do a little better from southpaw, but still, I was yelling at myself to keep my hands up during this.
I telegraph my kicks by dropping my hands. Yeesh, even worse. Two different ways - sometimes I drop then kick. Other times I lower my guard for a beat, then kick. Both are not good!
I stick my chin forward. Not up, just not tucked down. It's sort of what Wanderlei and Cyborg do, only worse. Definitely need to work on this one. I think I do it in part cuz when I wear glasses, I try to see through them. To tuck, I'd have to look over them.
Square stance. You can see me occasionally try to slant off more, but I just haven't beaten this bug yet.
The recommended kicks seem to have a little more hip turn than my normal kicks. I think there's an inkling of a path to improvement. Let me know what you think here.
I think I am well on my way to fixing my elbow flare problem. Pretty happy the last thread made me take action there.
Thanks to people who go and critique this. I try to take all the criticism constructive and otherwise in stride. There's a lot of questions from my end, but ultimately, video of me doing it is the easiest way to address the issue. And the critique definitely has positive results.
Video itself (it's very beefy. let me know if you need a lite version):
Spoiler alert: I'm only wearing shorts here, so you can see more of my turning (or lack thereof). I'm not making excuses, but it was really hot that day and I got really sweat. And I'm not in great shape, so if you are grossed out by sweaty jigglage, you might have to pass on this video.
Bonus: you can still make out the IBM sunburn on my back that I did over a year ago.

"Joe Lauzon looks like a quiet, Internet guy..." -- Dana White
the most obvious thing i could see was that you were turning your hips over way to soon, almost assoon as your leg left the ground. your kick wants to come straight up and -then- turn over at the end. the way you are doing it your leg is coming upwards and is already turned over when it hits the pads. looks ugly.
heres a great vid of Samkor throwing kicks (like theres vids of him doing anything else) see how his leg goes straight up and only turns over right at the end of the kick. i dont know if this is how whiteshark explained it to you but this is how ive been taught.
edit- also, this is just a general tip when working a heavy bag- to steal a line from clint eastwood, don't let the bag work you. when it comes close either get out of range (imagine it has arms and legs) or throw something. golden rule of bagwork (at least at our gym) is that if you are close enough to be hitting it you should be hitting it or getting out of the way, never just standing there. this might not apply since you are demonstrating kicks but i thought i would mention it anyway

Also, you seem too square in your stance, although it may just be the camera angle.

Meg_mao, The first thing I see is too much tension in your leg on your "Ideal" I think there is a first step towards success in the "recommended" ones but only the first set. You looked a little tired or something in the second set and your form started to slip. Let me mull it over. I have some ideas but I need to think about it.

LAUREL, MD. (AP) -- Ben's Cat beat Steady Warrior by a length in the $100,000 Maryland Million Turf Sprint on Saturday, winning the race for the second straight year and making a case for a Breeder's Cup berth.
Ridden by Jeremy Rose, Ben's Cat finished the 5 1/2 furlong race for 3-year-olds and up in 1:06.07 to earn $3.00, $2.20 and $2.10. Steady Warrior paid $4.80 and $4.40, while Heaven's Voice returned $5.20 for finishing 10 lengths back in the field of seven.
Ben's Cat has won 13 races in 17 starts, and six of eight at Laurel.
Owner and trainer King Leatherbury hopes to raise $100,000 to run Ben's Cat in the Breeder's Cup, for which the 5-year-old gelding was not nominated.
The Turf Sprint is one of 11 races in the series for Maryland-bred horses inaugurated in 1986 by broadcaster Jim McKay.
