CHICAGO — The cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants is in hot water from a study suggesting that watching just nine minutes of that program can cause short-term attention and learning problems in 4-year-olds.
The problems were seen in a study of 60 children randomly assigned to either watch "SpongeBob," or the slower-paced PBS cartoon "Caillou" or assigned to draw pictures. Immediately after these nine-minute assignments, the kids took mental function tests; those who had watched "SpongeBob" did measurably worse than the others.
Previous research has linked TV-watching with long-term attention problems in children, but the new study suggests more immediate problems can occur after very little exposure — results that parents of young kids should be alert to, the study authors said.
Kids' cartoon shows typically feature about 22 minutes of action, so watching a full program "could be more detrimental," the researchers speculated, But they said more evidence is needed to confirm that.
The results should be interpreted cautiously because of the study's small size, but the data seem robust and bolster the idea that media exposure is a public health issue, said Dr. Dimitri Christakis. He is a child development specialist at Seattle Children's Hospital who wrote an editorial accompanying the study published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
Christakis said parents need to realize that fast-paced programming may not be appropriate for very young children. "What kids watch matters, it's not just how much they watch," he said.
University of Virginia psychology professor Angeline Lillard, the lead author, said Nickelodeon's "SpongeBob" shouldn't be singled out. She found similar problems in kids who watched other fast-paced cartoon programming.
She said parents should realize that young children are compromised in their ability to learn and use self-control immediately after watching such shows. "I wouldn't advise watching such shows on the way to school or any time they're expected to pay attention and learn," she said.
Nickelodeon spokesman David Bittler disputed the findings and said "SpongeBob SquarePants" is aimed at kids aged 6-11, not 4-year-olds.
"Having 60 non-diverse kids, who are not part of the show's targeted (audience), watch nine minutes of programming is questionable methodology and could not possibly provide the basis for any valid findings that parents could trust," he said.
Lillard said 4-year-olds were chosen because that age "is the heart of the period during which you see the most development" in certain self-control abilities. Whether children of other ages would be similarly affected can't be determined from this study
Most kids were white and from middle-class or wealthy families. They were given common mental function tests after watching cartoons or drawing. The SpongeBob kids scored on average 12 points lower than the other two groups, whose scores were nearly identical.
In another test, measuring self-control and impulsiveness, kids were rated on how long they could wait before eating snacks presented when the researcher left the room. "SpongeBob" kids waited about 2 1/2 minutes on average, versus at least four minutes for the other two groups.
The study has several limitations. For one thing, the kids weren't tested before they watched TV. But Lillard said none of the children had diagnosed attention problems and all got similar scores on parent evaluations of their behavior.

A Surefire Way To Crack The Secret To A Best-Selling Novel
Another day, another computer program is waiting to take our jobs. This time, it's a bookish algorithm that claims it can predict the commercial success of fiction with 84% accuracy — something acquisition departments at book publishers do daily with, we're guessing, a much lower success rate.
So, how's this budding media mogul do it? By using a technique called stylometry, which mathematically analyzes words and grammar, it's pinpointed the characteristics of Amazon darlings. The top-line qualities are obvious: "interestingness," novelty, style of writing, and an engaging plot. But, the specifics are surprisingly grammatical: Books that sell tend to load up on conjunctions, nouns, and adjectives and hold back on verbs and adverbs. Adverbs we get. After all, the road to hell is paved with them. But, verbs are sort of vital — like water, air, and the Internet. That said, if you have to use one, verbs that describe thought processes (recognized, remembered) over those of action and emotion (wanted, promised) are supposedly better. We're thinking unpleasant feelings about this.
Behind all this are computer scientists at SUNY Stony Brook who determined their 84% success rate by using Project Gutenberg, a digital library of free e-books. There, they were able to run their algorithm on 800 texts, which were all fiction but ranged from classic lit to recent sci-fi. They then compared findings to historical info on book sales, taking the least successful (and, therefore, harder-to-find) novels from the very bottom of Amazon's rankings. Also lumped in there was Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol because — despite its commercial success — it, well, inspired a lot of vitriol.
While this isn't the first attempt to apply science to the art of book-selling, it is supposedly the largest and most applicable. So, we'll just have to wait and see if publishers use it. If it's good for their struggling bottom line, great. But, with a newfound ability to mold prose based on what sells, it's the rest of the lines we're worried about. (The Telegraph)

A federal judge on Tuesday upheld Maryland's new ban on assault rifles and magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds, handing at least a temporary victory to state officials who say the measures could ward off mass shootings, reports the Baltimore Sun.
A collection of gun owners, stores and industry groups had sued the state, saying the bans violated their Second Amendment right to bear arms.
Judge Catherine C. Blake disagreed, writing flatly: "I find the law constitutional."
Blake's decision adds to a growing list of legal victories for states that have tightened their gun laws in recent years, even after the Supreme Court decided in 2008 that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to bear arms.
Gun rights advocates say they are not disheartened, however, and plan to keep fighting.

Great car. I love the looks, the ride and handling. It is the best handling car I have ever owned and I haven't even started modding it yet! I think the seats are the best as well and the average MPG is 32.7 so far.

BOZOI, KAZAKHSTAN -- (Marketwired) -- 07/02/14 -- Tethys Petroleum Limited ("Tethys") (TSX: TPL)(LSE: TPL) is pleased to announce the test results from AKK17, AKK18, AKK19 and AKK20; the first four shallow gas exploration wells of its 2014 programme.
The AKK17, AKK18, AKK19 and AKK20 wells tested at an aggregate rate of approximately 650 Mcm/d (23MMcf/d) from the Tasaran horizon.
It is planned that these wells will be incorporated under the Akkulka Production Contract by Q1 2015 whereupon they will be tied-in to the existing gas production infrastructure and placed on permanent production. Additionally, the four previously drilled and tested wells, AKK05, AKK14, AKK15 and AKK16 will also be brought on stream in Q1 2015 to target an initial total production rate of 800 - 1,000 Mcm/d (28 MMcf/d - 35 MMcf/d).
Additional wells are planned to be drilled in the proximity of the new discoveries as well as the existing wells, such as AKK15 and AKK16, next year and subsequent pipelines will be laid and tied into the optimised infrastructure in order to maintain production levels.
In support of this shallow gas programme, work has already commenced on the gas dehydration project and on the pipelines required to tie-in these additional wells to the existing gas production infrastructure. Both projects are on schedule for completion by year-end.
Graham Wall, Chief Operating Officer of Tethys commented, "We are very pleased with the continued success of the Kazakh shallow gas programme. These latest results (some of which were tubing constrained) keep us on track to achieve a near three fold increase in gas production by the beginning of 2015."
Tethys is focused on oil and gas exploration and production activities in Central Asia and the Caspian Region. This highly prolific oil and gas area is rapidly developing and Tethys believes that significant potential exists in both exploration and in discovered deposits.
This press release contains "forward-looking information" which may include, but is not limited to, the potential for successful discoveries and their commercialization, and our exploration targets. Such forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain assumptions, including the assumption that the AKK17, AKK18, AKK19 and AKK20 wells will be incorporated under the Akkulka Production Contract by Q1 2015, and will be tied-in to the existing gas production infrastructure and placed on permanent production; the AKK05, AKK14, AKK15 and AKK16 wells will also be brought on stream in Q1 2015 to target an initial total production rate of 800 - 1,000 Mcm/d (28 MMcf/d - 35 MMcf/d); that additional wells will be drilled in the proximity of the new discoveries next year and subsequent pipelines will be laid and tied into the optimised infrastructure in order to maintain production levels; the gas dehydration project and pipelines required to tie-in these additional wells to the existing gas production infrastructure will be completed by years end; negotiations for a new gas sales contract will be finalised by Q4 2014; the fact that the Company will be successful in confirming the existence of the accumulations of petroleum in respect of its exploration targets, and subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the risk that limited discoveries will result from exploration wells and as a result the risk that any or all of the prospective resources will not become recoverable. See our Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a description of risks and uncertainties relevant to our business, including our exploration activities. The "forward looking statements" contained herein speak only as of the date of this press release and, unless required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise such information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

A man who grabbed and tried to abduct a woman from a bus stop had said she was ''very beautiful'' and that he wanted to be her boyfriend.
The 29-year-old victim, Susan, said she had been left shaken and scared to use public transport or trust others after the terrifying abduction attempt in Melbourne's north last month.

Attempted abduction in Campbellfield
Police search for a man who attempted to abduct a woman from a Campbellfield bus stop on the evening of Thursday, February 20.
Susan, who did not want her surname used, was waiting for a bus on Mahoneys Road in Campbellfield, about 10pm on Thursday, February 20, when a white-coloured Toyota Camry approached and the driver wound down his window halfway.
The man said his name was John, and offered her a ride.
''I said 'No, I'm fine. I'll catch the bus','' Susan said.
''You don't take lifts from strangers – that's the number-one rule from your parents. But he kept insisting.
''He was saying 'you're beautiful ... I want you to be my girlfriend', all the normal pick-up lines that men use.
''He wasn't happy and he got quite angry.''
Police said the man got out of his car and opened the passenger-side door after she refused his advances.
He grabbed her arm forcefully with both hands, while Susan fought him off, and he eventually drove away.
''If it wasn't for the pole I had my foot against, I don't know if I'd be here today,'' she said.
''Who knows what he could do to me – rape me, hurt, me, try to kill me ... I just thought about my family, how they would feel if something happened to me.''
Susan said she wanted to speak out about her ordeal to help find him and stop him from abducting anyone else.
''It could happen to someone younger than me, your daughters, your sisters – it could be anybody.''
Constable Steve Willer, of the transit crime investigation unit, said the attack was ''shocking''.
''Susan is very lucky,'' he said. ''Obviously she is more physically capable than, for example, a teenager or a much younger female, so therefore she was able to use her strength.
''We're very lucky this male didn't try to attack a much younger female.''
The man is described as in his mid 30s, scruffy in appearance, unshaven with grey hair, solid build, tall with dirty hands and fingernails.
Susan told police that the man smelt of cleaning products such as detergent or degreaser. She said he spoke with a strong accent, possibly Lebanese or Arabic.
Police have released a computer-generated image of a man they wish to speak about the incident, as well as a picture of a Toyota similar to the one he was driving.
Anyone with information is asked to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Four killed in Indonesia tunnel collapse
Jakarta: Four workers were killed while many others were still missing after a mine tunnel of a subsidiary of US mining giant Freeport-McMoRan in Indonesia collapsed, local media said Wednesday.
The incident was reported from eastern Indonesia`s Papua Province early Tuesday, according to Xinhua news agency.
"Fourteen workers have been evacuated from the tunnel until Wednesday morning with four men dead," Tito Karnavian, chief of the Papua Regional Police Command, was quoted by Indonesia`s news portal metrotvnews.com as saying.
At least 40 workers were in the tunnel when the accident happened at 7:30 a.m. local time Tuesday and the cause of the accident is still unknown, it said.
Production at Freeport Indonesia`s Grasberg mine where the tunnel collapsed was not expected to be significantly affected, according to local media.
The Grasberg mine, which started its production in the 1970s, holds the world`s biggest gold and second-biggest copper deposit. It employs more than 20,000 people.

"How to be a man (and other illusions)", however, is a medium enjoyable read. Why is this?
1) The book repeats a number of things that have been said before. If you have read the previous book, or even some of his columns in Seattle Weekly, you will tend to think, "Oh, that!" in a number of places. I suppose that this was to be expected - there's only so many things you can say about any one person's life. Putting out two books on yourself in a spell of a few years only is an ill-advised decision. If Duff had waited for another few years, it would have been more interesting to see how his perspective on certain things might have changed.
2) There are a lot of "fillers". There is, for instance, an epic list of albums that every man should know. They're in alphabetical order, so if you enjoy reading dictionaries, you will love this chapter. The pages and pages of recommended books are equally frustrating. I understand that Duff would want to include these things. But a list of 20 would have been quite sufficient, and would have made the individual recommendations more significant.
3) I am genuinely happy that Duff's life has turned out the way it has. Like I said, he is an inspiration in many ways. I am glad he loves his family. This is how it should be. Does this make for a good life? Yes. Does it make for an interesting read? I am not so sure.
Still, I enjoyed Duff's style. He is funny with more than a hint of irony. I also appreciate him taking an open stand on a number of important topics. I do hope that this is not his last book.
And after all - I'm a woman, so maybe I am just not the targeted reader! ;-)
Decided to buy this one and can say that it is a good read. Very insightfull. Now want to buy Slash's book too.
Just to see a drug and alcohol addict completely transform his life and now be a successful husband/father/business man and still be a rock star, you don't read a lot of those stories. They don't usually end well. But I think you can take the advise from someone who's done it, which is in this book.

If Marquez retires after the Pacquaio fight, "Houston we have a problem"
It's going to look really bad if Marquez retires after this fight, I don't care what the reason is. I'm not saying this is going to happen, but the easy paydays need to stop. The fact that they are acting buddy buddy doesn't help at all.

He even mentioned it in the video where Manny interviewed Marquez. It'll be disappointing for sure, but he's had a great career. He deserves the payday IMO. He can continue his career after this fight back at 135, but who knows, perhaps he won't see a need for it anymore by already receiving the biggest payday he can get.

JMM goal the last couple years was to get his 3rd fight with Pac and for all you know thats the main thing thats been motivating him to continue boxing its not about the money to him and you can bet hes going to going to show up and give it his all to win and if he decides to retire afterwards theres nothing wrong with that.

Word in Mexico is , Marquez sold himself out for some extra mills, the contract clause is he has to stand and trade with Pacquiao so he can finally knock him out. sad but we'll know come fight night if it's true. that's why not to many people are interested in seeing a legend have to sell himself out in order to retire.

The Way the World Worksby Nicholson Baker

New York Times bestselling author Nicholson Baker, "who writes like no one else in America" (Newsweek), has assembled his best nonfiction writing over the last fifteen years, a trove of original and provocative pieces.
The Way the World Works, Nicholson Baker's second essay collection, ranges over the map of life to examine what ails us, what eases our pain, and what gives us joy. Baker—recently hailed as "one of the most consistently enticing writers of our time" by The New York Times Book Review—moves from political controversy to the intimacy of his own life, from forgotten heroes of pacifism to airplane wings, telephones, paper mills, David Remnick, Joseph Pulitzer, the OED, and the manufacture of the Venetian gondola. In the book's title essay, Baker surveys our fascination with video games while attempting to beat his teenage son at Modern Warfare 2; in a celebrated essay on Wikipedia, he describes his efforts to stem the tide of encyclopedic deletionism. Through all these pieces (for The New Yorker, Harper's Magazine, and other publications), Baker shines the light of an inexpugnable curiosity; The Way the World Works is a keen-minded, generous-spirited compendium by a modern American master.
Editorial Reviews
John Jeremiah Sullivan
Charles McGrath
Lev Grossman
Carolyn See
Richard Eder
Cynthis Crossen
"His prose is so luminescent and so precise it manually recalibrates our brains."
"Nicholson Baker is such a swell, smart writer that he rarely—maybe never—tips his hand. . . . In Baker's view, the mundane, closely enough observed, may be the skate key to the sublime."
"Baker writes with appealing charm. He clowns and shows off rambles and pounces hard; he says acute things, extravagant things, terribly funny things."
"[A] winning new book. . . . This singular writer . . . can mount an argument skillfully and deliver an efficient conclusive kick."
"A fundamentally radical author . . . you can never be sure quite where Baker is going to take you. . . . [He] is an essayist in the tradition of GK Chesterton and Max Beerbohm, writing winning fantasies upon whatever chance thoughts may come into his head."
"Baker looks at the world around us in a way that is not only artful and entertaining but instructive."
"Mr. Baker is a wise and amiable cultural commentator worth listening to. . . . [his] prose is polished, witty . . . his essays are always provocative and entertaining."
"Baker's new essay collection, The Way the World Works, is always absorbing, merging his interest in solid, tangible objects with his devotion to the life of the mind. . . . simply dazzling."
"Exhilarating . . . Eye-opening . . . Baker continues his project of bringing new dimensions and idiosyncrasies to the personal essay, which he is devoted to reviving and reinventing."

Read an Excerpt
Way the World Works
Back in 1982, when I was just getting going as a writer, William Whitworth, the editor of The Atlantic, called to say that he was putting together a 125th-anniversary edition and he wondered if I had anything short to contribute to the front of the magazine. Flattered, I wrote something that tootled around in a ruminative way called "Changes of Mind." Other pieces followed, and I allowed myself to believe that I was helping to bring back the personal essay, which had fallen out of fashion. Some of my heroes were G. K. Chesterton, Christopher Morley, Alice Meynell, William Hazlitt, William James, and Samuel Johnson. By 1996 I had enough for a collection, The Size of Thoughts. Now it's 2012 and time, it seems, for a second and slightly heftier accrual. The first section of the book, LIFE, is made up of autobiographical bits arranged more or less chronologically; then come some meditations on READING and being read to. After that I tell the story of how I sued a public LIBRARY and talk about the beauties and wonders of old NEWSPAPERS; and then comes some TECHNO-journalism and writings on WAR and the people who oppose it, followed by a LAST ESSAY that I wrote for The American Scholar on mowing the lawn. I like mowing the lawn, and it didn't seem quite right to end the book with an impressionistic article on my unsuccessful efforts to master a series of violent video games. You'll find things in here about kite string, e-readers, earplugs, telephones, coins in fountains, paper mills, Wikipedia, commonplace books, airplane wings, gondolas, the OED, Call of Duty, Dorothy Day, John Updike, David Remnick, and Daniel Ellsberg. In a number of places I've changed a title, or restored a sentence or a passage that was cut to make something fit. I hope you run into a few items that interest you.
My thanks go to Jofie Ferrari-Adler at Simon & Schuster, and to all the careful, kind editors I've worked with on these pieces, especially Deborah Garrison, Henry Finder, Alice Quinn, and Cressida Leyshon at The New Yorker, Anne Fadiman and Sandra Costich at The American Scholar, Robert Silvers and Sasha Weiss at The New York Review of Books, Jennifer Scheussler and Laura Marmor at the New York Times, and James Marcus at Harper's.
