I almost didn't downloaded this tool because of the following comment:
Note that this only adjusts the font size of the content in the "sidebar" as defined by your WP theme.
It simply isn't true!!!
You're able to adjust the size for predefined pieces of text.
Standard it says "body". Simply add: "body, p, li" (and other body tags you'll need.)
Don't quite understand the low rating.
Works great!!!

Wisconsin: 15th most obese state in the country
Wisconsin may be known as "America's Dairyland" but these days it is also getting a reputation for being one of the most obese states in the nation, ranking 15th in the country. In Wisconsin, one in three adults are obese. Obesity is defined by having a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30.
According to a new report by Trust for America's Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation titled "F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future, 2013", every state in the country has an adult obesity rate above 20 percent. This is a startling increase given that in 1980 no states had an adult obesity rate above 15 percent. Continue Reading »
Patient blog: how I reclaimed my life from diabetes
"Like many people in my family, I am diabetic. I was diagnosed with type II diabetes several years ago, but thanks to my primary care physician, Dr. Brian Scott, the disease had not progressed considerably until this past winter. Despite my efforts to control it through exercise and diet, my blood sugar levels rose considerably, peaking at 8.9 A1C in March. Dr. Scott's nurses, Shawn and Heather contacted me at regular intervals to monitor the situation. When Dr. Scott referred me to Lee Cleveland at Affinity Medical Group on Midway Road, I was not sure he was going to be able to help much. Faced with the probability of starting a new and very expensive medication, I listened carefully to Lee's advice on controlling my carbohydrate intake. After two months of better dieting and riding my bicycle every possible day, my A1C levels fell to 6.5 and Dr. Scott was able to put the new medication on hold. Now that I limit the carbohydrate intake and keep riding my bike as often as possible, I feel better and feel that I can continue to improve. I truly appreciate the excellent care given by the medical professionals mentioned above."
-Gary, a grateful patient

VAIL, Colo. (AP) -- Vail Resorts plans to lay off about 50 workers and eliminate nearly 100 vacant positions following a significant drop in advance bookings.
CEO Rob Katz told the company's 3,300 full-time employees this week that the company isn't immune from turmoil in the overall economy, even though it has worked to pay down debt and cut expenses.
Vail Resorts will also suspend matching employee 401(k) retirement fund contributions in 2009. Merit raises will be deferred and executives won't get raises during fiscal year 2009.
The Broomfield-based company operates Breckenridge, Beaver Creek, Keystone and Vail in Colorado, plus Heavenly Mountain in California.
Meanwhile, Aspen Skiing Co. is leaving about a dozen vacant positions open.

What about Shay Given - imho he is the best player by far at SJP right now - without Given nufc would be down with Sunderland! Scott Parker looks good, Nzogbia and Emre may prove good buys - time will tell. Souness must go!

The biggest worry is that the toon are £90m in debt and were banking on european football this and next season to help cover the massive transfer expenditure. Freddy Sheppard is running the club down and i feel that Leeds united spring to mind whenever i see Newcastle Play.
Everyone knows Owen did not pick Newcastle as his first choice, he went there becasue 1) Liverpool didn't want him; 2) Newcastle paid stupid money for him.
The rumour is now that Souness will buy Anelka. Good luck Geordies, you guys have a habbit of buying ex-Liverpool players, you know, the rejected ones (that includes Souness).

I agree wholeheartedly. I've said it before - it seems that SJP is a rest home for players on their way to somewhere else. I think that the number of so called injuries is indicative of a bunch of players with no heart who are workshy. We need more players like Scott Parker who are passionate and give 100%. Souness can't get them to work for him so he should be bulletted as soon as possible and get Sam Allardyce in asap. We need a manager with something about him that can inspire our bunch of workshy players. Souness is about as inspiring as winning a fortnights holiday on Weirdside.

u want 2 know why owen isnt happy at newcastle is because of souness get him out of this club before it goes down he has failed at everything and is clear that he is failed at newcastle even with the injuries we can still but out a team tht could hav beat fulham cant relay on shearer anymore also heard of given going to spain i dont blaim him

erectile dysfunction Such dysfunction at all times wounded men, made them vulnerable. celery leaves and fennel fruit, pour two liters of red wine. Drugs to increase potency provide a local impact, for maximum efficiency it is necessary to operate in complex and, for example, to combine them with the treatment of cardiovascular, endocrine or psychiatric disorders. And it is important that correcting one system of the body, you do not hurt another. It is a psychological and physiological deviations, and the manifestation of psychosomatic disorders.
In his view, if "female impotence" indeed recognize new disease, doctors will cease to pay enough attention to the way of life of their patients and would prefer to just give them pills. Carrot and honey It is an ancient Russian recipe and is also very simple. The test results were unexpected: the most powerful sexual stimulants were the smells of CINNAMON rolls. Probably you are one of those who "do not judge and not be judged," and therefore believe that a reasonable mix of sex and alcohol has a right to exist. For many men a diagnosis of "impotence" is worse than a death sentence.
Mix 50 ml of beetroot juice (after squeezing let stand four hours), 2 tbsp of Cahors, 0, 5 tbsp. Good to do several times a day, in the shower. If desired, the course can be repeated but not sooner than two weeks. Currently in China, Tibet and Hong Kong produced many drugs for potency on the basis of only natural components. This mixture will enhance the mood and improve overall body condition. Seven repetitions, short rest and again seven. The course of treatment is about one and a half months, but positive changes can be noticed after a week. Sexual side effects of antidepressants are enhanced with increase in dose of medications.

Side effects can be nausea, vomiting, blood flow in the area of the brain, and dizziness.

Gilles Bernheim
|Gilles Bernheim
|Gilles Uriel Bernheim
30 May 1952
Aix-les-Bains, France
|Chief Rabbi of France
Gilles Uriel Bernheim (French pronunciation: [ʒil y.ʁjɛl bɛʁ.nɛm]; born 30 May 1952) is a French rabbi who was formerly the Chief Rabbi of France. Born in Aix-les-Bains, Savoie, in 1952, he was elected by the general assembly of the Central Consistory chief rabbi of France on June 22, 2008, for a seven-year mandate starting from January 1, 2009.[1] Until then, he had been rabbi of synagogue de la Victoire, the main synagogue in Paris, since May 1, 1997. The Chief Rabbi of France was respected as a scholar not only in the Jewish community but in the wider academic world.[2] However, he resigned as chief rabbi in April 2013 before his term had ended, amid revelations of plagiarism and deception about his academic credentials.
He succeeded chief rabbi Joseph Sitruk.[3] He was very critical of the lifting of the excommunication of bishop Richard Williamson.[4]
The French Government appointed him Knight [Chevalier] in the Légion d'honneur, on April 10, 2009.
Career as chief rabbi[edit]
In October 2012, he took a clear position against gay marriage in a plagiarized essay entitled "Mariage homosexuel, homoparentalité et adoption : ce que l'on oublie souvent de dire"[5] (approximately equivalent to "Gay marriage, gay parenting and adoption: What we frequently forget to mention" in English)
« The problem in the proposed legislation, the harm it would cause to our entire society for the sole benefit of a tiny minority, once they have irreversibly blurred three things:
- the genealogical substituents of parenthood in paternity and maternity,
- the status of the child, shifts to being subject to that of an object to which anyone is entitled,
- identities where naturally given sexual differentiation would be forced to give way to the orientation expressed by each in the name of countering inequality, twisted into the eradication of differences. »
This essay found a strong echo in Roman Catholic circles, culminating in Pope Benedict XVI quoting him at length in his annual address[6][7] to the Roman Curia, 21 December 2012
"The Chief Rabbi of France, Gilles Bernheim, has shown in a very detailed and profoundly moving study that the attack we are currently experiencing on the true structure of the family, made up of father, mother, and child, goes much deeper."
Bernheim's father was a wood seller and died when Bernheim was 14. His mother, Berthe (Blime), née Klein, is a former pupil of Antoinette Feuerwerker and was a teacher of mathematics. His wife is a psychoanalyst, and he is the father of four children.
Gilles Bernheim was a student of Séminaire israélite de France in Paris.[8]
Plagiarism and qualification scandal[edit]
The affair started in early March when the Strass de la Philosophie blog revealed that a passage on hasidic exegesis from Bernheim's work was almost identical to an interview of the philosopher Jean-Francois Lyotard that appears in the 1996 book "Questioning Judaism" by Elisabeth Weber.[9]
Bernheim acknowledged that his 2011 book "40 Jewish Meditations" contained one passage that his ghostwriter plagiarized without Bernheim's knowledge.[9][10][11] "I have been fooled," he wrote. "However, I am responsible. I apologize to the authors whose texts have been copied, to the people who have read these 'meditations' and to my publisher who was not informed of the existence of an outsider."[9] It was also revealed that he did not actually qualify for the prestigious title of "agrégé of philosophy" that had often been attributed to him.[12] The agrégé title required passing a rigorous examination that was necessary for becoming a professor of philosophy. While he may not have directly claimed to hold that qualification, he had allowed others to refer to him using the title without clarifying his actual status.
Le Figaro reported that "there was heavy pressure" on the part of unnamed officials from the Jewish community for Bernheim to resign.[10] On April 11, 2013 he resigned as chief rabbi.[13]

Skill Level Beginner
Now that we understand how permissions work, how do we go about changing them? Well, you remember with ownership, we used chown, change ownership. We are going to use chmod to change permissions. It stands for change mode and that's what Unix refers to the mode of these files is being what it calls to permissions. So chmod and then we are going to put in whatever the mode is. I am just going to write the word mode as placeholder, we will talk about what the mode is, followed by the file name and so we will just put file name. That's the format. chmod, whatever changes to the mode we want, and then the file name.
So let's look at some example of what that mode might look like. So first, remember that we have three categories. We have user, group, and other. Notice the first letters of those. u, g, and o. We are going to be using those first letters to indicate where we want to make changes to, which category should get changes. Okay, so u, g, and o, r, w, and, x. So the first one I want to look at is going to be changing user, group, and other and setting them all equal to something. All right, so it can provide whatever three letters I want there. I am going to say r, w, and x. This is going to give all of them all three of those.
Now most of the time you don't want to do that. Most of the time you are trying to set different permissions for different people. So another way to write that out would be to say u= and give it whatever permission is for u, followed by a comma then the g= whatever permissions it should have and then o for other. User, group, and other. Commas separating them. That's a long thing to type and I don't know anyone who really types it out that way. Typically when you are changing the permissions, you know what the current permissions something are. what you want to do is change it to something slightly different.
You are like, oh, you know what, I wish that the user and group both had write permissions to this file. Well, to do that, you can just use the plus sign. Keep the existing permissions exactly like they are. All I am interested in is for user and group add the w permission. We can also do the same thing subtractively. We can say all right, I want to take away the write permission from other. So plus and minus, it's typically the way people work. Instead of spelling it all out for each one, typically you just say all right here are the changes that I want to make.
Now as I said, u, g, and o are how we define the three categories that we are targeting. There is one other shortcut I want to show you which is, is if you are trying to do something to all three of them and you are using ugo, you can also use a, so that's a shortcut. Those last two do the exact same thing. a means u, g, and o altogether. Let's try it out, so you can get the hang of it. Okay, I am going erase this line, because that's not going to do anything for us. Let's do ls -la so we can see the current permissions and I am going to really target everything on this ownership.txt. You can use any file you want. You can just create a new file.
You can see that the current permissions are read and write for the owner and just read for the group and other categories. So to begin, let's do chmod and let's do user group and other equals, so we can see what that looks like and let's say r and x. And we will do it to ownership.txt. So that's typically what a chmod statement looks like. chmod, then what we want to do to it, followed by the file name. So we are going to add essentially an x to the last two. ls -la and now you will see that the x has been added to those two.
You see that actually took the w away from the owner as well, because I set it to equals. So now let's try it slightly different. let's do chmod u=rwx and let's do group = rw and other. It's going to be equal to just r for ownership.txt. ls -la again. Now you can see how we changed it using that. All right so we broke it up using commas. We can also add to it, for example. Then we can say chmod user group and other, plus x for ownership, ls -la.
There we go, you see that it added the x to it and let's just do chmod a-x so you can see what that does. ls -la again. You can see that it took back away the x. So now that you have the hang of how we specify these, let's see what the actual practical affects are of these. Let's try chmod and let's do user group and other. Let's take away their read privileges. Okay, so now we don't have the ability to read anymore. We just clear the screen so you can see it. So there we are. We don't have read privileges anymore.
Let's try nano ownership.txt. And notice that it pop opened nano but look at the message that it gives us at the bottom, permission denied. So I am inside nano, but I can't do anything. I can type here, but I am not actually inside that file and when I say save, it's going to save to a new file. It's not actually reading the contents that file into the buffer for me to change. I am just essentially opening nano. So let's try now changing the ownership so that, say chmod, let's say user group and other ought to be equal to read for ownership.
All right, so now we only have read permissions. We don't have write permissions. Once again, let's try opening up nano ownership.txt. So it opened it up. It read it fine. There is nothing inside this file to begin with, but it did successfully open it. Let's say hello and now let's do exit, save buffer, yes. File name to write. Now I have the opportunity to provide a different file name but I am essentially now about to write on to this file, and I hit Return. It says, "Sorry, permission denied." So we can't write to it.
We can write to a different file name if we want, we still have the ability to save our changes, but we can't overwrite ownership.txt because we don't have write privileges. So I will just say no to saving those changes and let's go ahead and just set it back to chmod and we will make user gain its write privileges back on ownership.txt. Let's take one last look at it and there we go. The other thing I just want to mention to you is that in addition to doing changes like this, if we have a directory and we want to change this to the directory, let's say that we want to do chmod, let's add the write attribute for group, and we will write that for test.1 for the test directory.
If we do this right now, it will change it just for that top level one, same as the ownership did. If we wanted to change it to everything that's inside of there, we have to also include the recursive flag. So that's the option -R and that will recursively change everything that's inside of there, directories and files all the way down the line. So I just want to make sure you know we have that recursive option available to us. That's important if you are trying to change everything that's inside of that directory to have the same permissions. That's really all you need to being able to manage permissions in Unix. You now understand what they are, you understand how to read the notation that it gives you there on the directory listing, and you now know how to manipulate them, how to enable and disable permissions for those three categories one way or another.
But before we move on, I wanted to take a look at how we can also specify these permissions using something called octal notation and we will do that in the next movie.

Savor the flavors of everyday real food, fresh from the garden or stored on your pantry shelves.
By Tabitha Alterman
egg recipes, eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, breakfast
According to culinary legend
M.F.K. Fisher, "Scrambled eggs have been made, and massacred, for as long as
people knew about pots and pans, no doubt." The secret to perfect scrambled eggs is gentle cooking, which can be achieved by this unusual method. It may seem like poaching scrambled eggs would be tricky, but it's simple and the water strains right off if you use a big slotted spoon.
2 farm-fresh eggs
beat your eggs in a bowl with a whisk or fork, until you no longer see a
separation of white from yolk. Bring a deep, wide pan of water to a simmer,
then stir the water in a circle with a spoon. Pour the beaten eggs into the
center, and cover the pan with a lid for 1 minute. Remove the eggs from the water
with a large slotted spoon. Food and Wine
magazine likes scrambled poached eggs served with a simple sauce of melted goat
cheese whisked with warm water. Serves 1.

Fran Spear: I hope he survives the fallout. The behavior in the USA is drawn from "high school level" behavior where conformity becomes the sole power point and groups will do anything to make somebody bow to their authority - even if their authority is insane. This generation in America had better wise up. People operate above highschool level and do not require everybody "fall in step", dye their hair yellow, all use the same cell phones, etc. The Japanese/Chinese obsession with "sameness" is threatening the idividual in the USA and we are a nation of individuals. Stand on your own, just do it.

I recently obtained all three of my credit bureau reports. As stated by another poster in this forum, a query by RJM only appeared on the Transunion report.
First USA Bank does not appear on any of my credit reports, and so RJM is making a fraudulent claim against me.
I am sending them the following letter gleaned from two sources online that requests they provide verification documentation from my original creditor and cease all future communication with me:

Re: File #RJM file Original creditor - #account -For: $$$.$$
Dear Debt Collector/Debt Collector Attorney:
This will serve as your legal notice under provisions of federal law, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), to cease all communication with me in regard to the debt referenced above.
I am in receipt of your letter attempting to collect an account/liability that is not only invalid, but is also illegitimate and in legal dispute. Therefore, please consider this response as my formal legal dispute pursuant to Public Law 95-109, 15 USC 1692f 808 and 1692g 809. I furthermore request the name, address, department and phone (including any extensions) of the original creditor who is stating that this alleged liability belongs to me, so that civil action can be implemented, if necessary, to resolve this egregious accusation.
Any further attempt to collect and/or continue to falsely report this disputed information on my personal credit file without complying with the above stated provisions will be deemed as non-compliance and you will be held liable under 15 USC 1692 (k) (civil liability) to one or more of the following:
1) All actual damage sustained by a consumer as a result of such failure;
2) (A) included above, additional damages allowed by the court, not exceeding $1,000; or
3) If a class action is filed, such amount for each named plaintiff, recovered under subparagraph (A) of the stated Title, and an amount not to exceed the lesser of $500,000 or 1 per centum of the net worth of the debt collector; and
4) All cost accrued by the consumers' successful action to enforce the foregoing liability, along with attorney's fee.
It is my intention to resolve your inaccurate claim amicably. However, rest assured I will pursue all legal rights necessary to resolve this matter.
If and when the accuracy of this liability is legally proven to be valid, it will be my intention to rectify it post haste. Thank you for your cooperation.
If you fail to heed this notice, I will file a formal complaint against you with the Federal Trade Commission who is responsible for enforcement, the States Attorney General office and/or the American Collectors Association or local State Bar Association.
I have decided that I do not desire to work with a collection agency under any circumstances. I will contact the original creditor to resolve this matter directly, as circumstances warrant.
You are also notified that should any adverse information be placed against my credit reports as a result of this notice that appropriate actions will be taken. Give this very important matter the attention it deserves.
My Name, not a signature!

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, backup QB Matt Simms "has some real support to play" within the Jets' organization.
"Should Geno (Smith) struggle, worth watching," Schefter reported. Simms is a 24-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Tennessee. He beat out Greg McElroy for the Jets' backup job in August, finishing the preseason with a 74.6 completion rate and 8.1 yards-per-attempt average without a turnover on 59 throws, albeit against deep backups. Smith has been the weak link on a Jets team that has otherwise been better than people expected. If Smith keeps giving the ball to the other team, the Jets' offensive staff may have to seriously contemplate a switch. Geno has five turnovers through two games.
The chaos at the insane asylum known as the New York Jets could push two quality players down to us in the first three rounds,
I have nothing against Geno Smith, but I hope he continues to act in our best interest.

Old East Dallas neighbors worry Waffle House will attract rowdy crowd
Some Old East Dallas homeowners are worried what the addition of a breakfast restaurant infamous for catering to a late-night crowd will mean for their neighborhood, KXAS-TV (NBC5) reports.
Waffle House opened two weeks ago near Ross and Henderson avenues and has served a steady stream of customers.
But some residents fear that a late-night crowd could be bad for the neighborhood.
"If a police presence has to be on the property at two o'clock in the morning, then Waffle House will have to figure that out," said homeowner Tom Rush, who lives several blocks away.
So far, there have been no fights and no unruly behavior at the restaurant. Police haven't been called out there.
There has been a single customer complaint for loud noise.
A Waffle House corporate manager said they've discussed hiring overnight security officers, but so far it's not necessary.

Product Description
Kojak came at a perfect time for Savalas and cop dramas in general. The actor's career was slumping in the early '70s (he'd just appeared in the Italian horror film Lisa and the Devil), and he quickly put his personal stamp on the role with street-wise sarcasm and trademark lollipops (a perfect prop that Savalas adopted to quit smoking). Consistently well-written, the series was realistically rooted in a broad spectrum of New York City crime. These qualities attracted plenty of fresh and established talent, and these 22 well-preserved episodes include guest appearances by Harvey Keitel, James Woods, Richard Jordan, Hector Elizondo, John Ritter (in one of his first TV roles), Paul Michael Glaser, Dabney Coleman, Tina Louise, and a host of familiar TV veterans. For this debut season, Savalas won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, and Kojak ran for five well-rated seasons, followed by several TV-movie revivals in 1985, 1989, and 1990. The enduring popularity of Kojak was further proven when the show was revived yet again in March of 2005, with Ving Rhames in the title role. --Jeff Shannon

Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behaviorby Ori Brafman, Rom Brafman
View All Available Formats & Editions
Why is it so difficult to sell a plummeting stock or end a doomed relationship? Why do we listen to advice just because it came from someone "important"? Why are we more likely to/b>/i>
A fascinating journey into the hidden psychological influences that derail our decision-making, Sway will change the way you think about the way you think.
Why is it so difficult to sell a plummeting stock or end a doomed relationship? Why do we listen to advice just because it came from someone "important"? Why are we more likely to fall in love when there's danger involved? In Sway, renowned organizational thinker Ori Brafman and his brother, psychologist Rom Brafman, answer all these questions and more.
Drawing on cutting-edge research from the fields of social psychology, behavioral economics, and organizational behavior, Sway reveals dynamic forces that influence every aspect of our personal and business lives, including loss aversion (our tendency to go to great lengths to avoid perceived losses), the diagnosis bias (our inability to reevaluate our initial diagnosis of a person or situation), and the "chameleon effect" (our tendency to take on characteristics that have been arbitrarily assigned to us).
Sway introduces us to the Harvard Business School professor who got his students to pay $204 for a $20 bill, the head of airline safety whose disregard for his years of training led to the transformation of an entire industry, and the football coach who turned conventional strategy on its head to lead his team to victory. We also learn the curse of the NBA draft, discover why interviews are a terrible way to gauge future job performance, and go inside a session with the Supreme Court to see how the world's most powerful justices avoid the dangers of group dynamics.
Every once in a while, a book comes along that not only challenges our views of the world but changes the way we think. In Sway, Ori and Rom Brafman not only uncover rational explanations for a wide variety of irrational behaviors but also point readers toward ways to avoid succumbing to their pull.

The oversensitive egg shoppers.
The lure of the flat rate.
Would you like insurance with that?
So long, Martha's Vineyard.
The passengers aboard KLM Flight 4805 didn't know it, but they were in the hands of one of the most experienced and accomplished pilots in the world. Captain Jacob Van Zanten didn't just have a knack for flying. His attention to detail, methodical approach, and spotless record made him a natural choice to head KLM's safety program. It was no surprise, then, that the airline was keen to show him off. One magazine ad featuring the smiling captain captured it all: "KLM: from the people who made punctuality possible." Even seasoned pilots--not exactly the type of individuals prone to swoon--regarded him as something of a celebrity.
On the flight deck of the 747, en route from Amsterdam to Las Palmas Airport in the Canary Islands, Van Zanten must have felt a sense of pride. Today's trip was moving along with the smooth precision that had become his hallmark. The schedule was straightforward: land in Las Palmas, refuel, and transport a new set of passengers back home to Holland.
But then Van Zanten got an urgent message from air-traffic control. A terrorist bomb had exploded at the airport flower shop, causing massive chaos on the ground; Las Palmas would beclosed until further notice.
The captain knew that at times like this the most important thing was to remain calm and proceed with caution. He had performed drills preparing for this kind of situation countless times. In fact, Van Zanten had just returned from leading a six-month safety course on how to react in exactly this kind of situation.
Following standard procedure, the captain obeyed orders to land fifty nautical miles from his original destination, on the island of Tenerife. There, at 1:10 p.m., his plane joined several others that had been similarly diverted.
Now, you don't need to be a seasoned airline pilot to appreciate that Tenerife was no JFK. It was a tiny airport, with a single runway not meant to support jumbo jets.
With his plane safely parked at the edge of the runway, the captain checked his watch. Seeing the time, he was struck with a worrisome thought: the mandated rest period.
The Dutch government had recently instituted strict, complicated rules to which every pilot had to adhere. After getting in touch with HQ and performing some quick calculations, Van Zanten figured the latest he could take off was 6:30 p.m. Flying after the start of his mandated rest period was out of the question--it wasn't just against policy; it was a crime punishable by imprisonment. But taking the rest period would open its own can of worms. Here in Tenerife there would be no replacement crew to take over. Hundreds of passengers would be stranded overnight. That would mean the airline would have to find them a place to stay, and there weren't enough hotel rooms on the island. In addition, a delay here would initiate a cascade of flight cancellations throughout KLM. A seemingly minor diversion could easily become a logistical nightmare.
It's easy to imagine the stress that Van Zanten was experiencing and why he became so determined to save time. It was like being stuck at a red light when you're late for a big meeting. Try as you might to stay calm, you know that your reputation is on the line; your frustration grows, and there's really not much you can do. But there was one thing Van Zanten could do: the captain decided to keep the passengers on board, so that when Las Palmas reopened, he could get back in the air immediately.
But the air-traffic control personnel who worked at Tenerife tower were of a different mind-set. Here was a small airport on a tropical island, now inundated with planes from all over the world that had been diverted because of the Las Palmas explosion. Not only was the tower understaffed, but the air-traffic controllers were in no hurry to get planes out of the gate; they were, in fact, getting ready to listen to a live soccer match on their transistor radios. Twenty minutes after landing, Van Zanten received word from the tower that he should let his passengers off: it looked like they would be here for a while.
From there, events at Tenerife continued to move forward like molasses. Twenty minutes turned into an hour. The captain spent every moment thinking of ways to minimize the delay. He held a strategy session with his crew. He called KLM headquarters to find out exactly how much time he had left before the mandated rest period kicked in. An hour on the ground had turned into two; then the captain came up with another idea. He decided to refuel at Tenerife and thus shave half an hour off the turnaround in Las Palmas.
But this time-saving idea backfired. As soon as Van Zanten started refueling, word came from Las Palmas that the airport had finally reopened. But it was too late to stop the thirty-five-minute refueling process.
Finally, just when it looked like the plane was set to go, nature threw its own wrench into the plan: a thick layer of fog descended upon the runway.
Kicking himself over his decision to refuel, Van Zanten became even more intent on getting under way. With the fog growing thicker, visibility dropped to just 300 meters--so poor that gazing out the cockpit window the captain couldn't see the end of the runway.
Van Zanten knew that every moment the fog got worse made it that much likelier that the Tenerife tower would shut down the airport. He saw that his window of opportunity to get out of Tenerife before an overnight stay was closing. It was now or never--time to go.
But what the captain did next was completely out of character. Van Zanten revved up the engines, and the plane lurched down the runway.
"Wait a minute," Van Zanten's copilot said in confusion. "We don't have ATC clearance."
"I know that," replied the captain as he hit the brakes. "Go ahead and ask."
The copilot got on the radio and received airway clearance--approval of the flight plan. But the tower said nothing about the vital takeoff clearance. And yet, determined to take off, Van Zanten turned the throttles to full power and roared down the foggy runway.
The jumbo jet was gaining momentum when, seemingly out of nowhere, the scariest sight Van Zanten could have imagined appeared before him. A Pan Am 747 was parked across the runway, and Van Zanten was approaching it at take-off speed.
There was no way to stop or swerve. Instinctively, Van Zanten knew that his only chance was to take off early. "Come on! Please!" the captain urged his plane. He pulled the aircraft's nose up desperately, dragging its tail on the ground and throwing up a blinding spray of sparks.
The nose of Van Zanten's plane managed to narrowly clear the parked 747. But just when it looked like he was in the clear, the underside of Van Zanten's fuselage ripped through the top of the Pan Am plane.
The KLM plane burst into a fiery explosion as it hurtled another five hundred yards down the runway.
Van Zanten, his entire crew, and all of his passengers were killed. In all, 584 people lost their lives that day.
The aeronautical community was stunned. It was by far the deadliest airplane collision in history. An international team of experts descended on Tenerife airport. They examined every bit of evidence, interviewed the eyewitnesses, and scrutinized every moment of the cockpit recorders in an attempt to pinpoint the cause of the accident.
The experts quickly ruled out a mechanical failure or terrorist attack. Piecing together the events of that day, it was clear that the other plane on the runway, Pan Am Flight 1736, had missed a taxiway turnoff and ended up in the wrong place. The thick fog contributed to the disaster. Van Zanten couldn't see the Pan Am plane, the Pan Am pilot couldn't see him, and the tower controllers couldn't see either one of them. On top of that, the tower was undermanned and the controllers were distracted by the day's events.
Despite all these factors, though, the tragedy would never have occurred if Van Zanten hadn't taken off without clearance. Why would this seasoned pilot, the head of safety at the airline, make such a rash and irresponsible decision?
The best explanation the investigators could come up with was that Van Zanten was feeling frustrated. But that didn't quite add up. Feeling frustrated is one thing; completely disregarding protocol and forgetting about safety is another.
Clearly, Van Zanten was experienced. Clearly, he was well trained. And clearly, he was good at what he did. How could he cast aside every bit of training and protocol when the stakes were so high?
The aeronautical experts turned over every stone in their search for an explanation. But there was something in Tenerife that remained completely hidden. Alongside the rolling fog and crowded airfield, an unseen psychological force was at work, steering Van Zanten off the path of reason.
A growing body of research reveals that our behavior and decision making are influenced by an array of such psychological undercurrents and that they are much more powerful and pervasive than most of us realize. The interesting thing about these forces is that, like streams, they converge to become even more powerful. As we follow these streams, we notice unlikely connections among events that lie along their banks: the actions of an investor help us to better understand presidential decision making; students buying theater tickets illuminate a bitter controversy in the archeological community over human evolution; NBA draft picks point to a fatal flaw in common job-interview procedures; women talking on the phone show why a shaky bridge can be a powerful aphrodisiac.
Charting these psychological undercurrents and their unexpected effects, we can see where the currents are strongest and how their dynamics help us understand some of the most perplexing human mysteries. These hidden currents and forces include loss aversion (our tendency to go to great lengths to avoid possible losses), value attribution (our inclination to imbue a person or thing with certain qualities based on initial perceived value), and the diagnosis bias (our blindness to all evidence that contradicts our initial assessment of a person or situation). When we understand how these and a host of other mysterious forces operate, one thing becomes certain: whether we're a head of state or a college football coach, a love-struck student or a venture capitalist, we're all susceptible to the irresistible pull of irrational behavior. And as we gain insight about irrational motives that affect our work and personal lives, fascinating patterns emerge, connecting seemingly unrelated events.
Let's examine the first of these streams, to help us solve the mystery of what happened with Captain Van Zanten. We find our first clue in an unlikely place--the egg and orange juice aisles of our neighborhood supermarket.
Professor Daniel Putler, a former researcher at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has spent more time thinking about eggs in a year than the rest of us spend in a lifetime. He carefully tracked and studied every aspect of egg sales in southern California. Looking at the data, he found some interesting patterns. Egg sales, for instance, were typically higher during the first week of each month. Not surprisingly, they were abnormally high in the weeks leading up to Easter, only to experience a sharp decline the week after. That was all well and good, but Putler's next discovery wasn't just of use to the USDA and Al the grocer. Poring over cash-register data that reflected egg-price fluctuations, Putler identified what is referred to in economics as an "asymmetry."
Now, traditional economic theory holds that people should react to price fluctuations with equal intensity whether the price moves up or down. If the price goes down a bit, we buy a little more. If the price goes up a bit, we buy a little less. In other words, economists wouldn't expect people to be more sensitive to price increases than to price decreases. But what Putler found was that shoppers completely overreacted when prices rose.
It turns out that, when it comes to price increases, egg buyers are a sensitive bunch. If you reduce the price of eggs, consumers buy a little more. But when the price of eggs rises, they cut back their consumption by two and a half times.
Anyone who's made a shopping list with a budget in mind can tell you how this plays out. If the price drops, we're mildly pleased. But if we see that the price has gone up since last week, we get an oh no feeling in the pit of our stomachs and decide it's cereal for breakfast that week instead of scrambled eggs. This feeling of dread over a price increase is disproportionate--or asymmetric--to the satisfaction we feel when we get a good deal.
We experience the pain associated with a loss much more vividly than we do the joy of experiencing a gain. Sensing a loss as a result of the high price, the shoppers can't help but put the carton back on the shelf.
And it's not only egg buyers who are affected by the pain of a loss. A group of researchers replicated Putler's study among orange juice shoppers in Indiana and arrived at the exact same results: Midwest OJ drinkers are just as finicky about price increases as are Los Angeles omelet makers. Regardless of geography and breakfast preferences, losses loom larger than gains.
Putler's research illuminates a mystery that economists have been grappling with for years. For no apparent logical reason, we overreact to perceived losses.
This principle is key to understanding Van Zanten's actions. But before we return to Tenerife and the investigation, it's important to see how our aversion to loss plays out in our own decision making.
Think about the seemingly straightforward decision we make when we sign up for a new phone service. After wading through the phone company's electronic menus, we're presented with a choice: we can either pay for service by the minute or opt for a flat monthly fee and talk till the cows come home. Chances are that the pay-as-you-go plan is our better bet. Most of us just don't talk enough to justify a flat-rate plan.
But at this point loss aversion kicks in; we start imagining ourselves gabbing like teenagers into the night. The fear of a monstrous bill looms, and we sign up for the unlimited plan "just in case."
Economists can scold us for making a poor choice, but in deciding which service to sign up for, we're willing to sacrifice a little bit to avoid a potential loss.
AOL stumbled upon this same phenomenon when, after years of charging clients by the minute for their dial-up Internet access, it introduced a flat-billing option. The results were catastrophic, but not in the way you'd think. As AOL's CEO explained, the flat-pricing plan was "working too well." New customers were signing up in droves, and for three months AOL's servers were completely jammed. As with the phone service, Internet users wanted to avoid the perceived loss associated with pay-as-you-go.

At the end of Chapter Two, the authors engage in precisely the sort of dead head logic they lampoon in Chapter Three, which is where I stopped reading. This is the sort of breezy faux scholarship that department heads are forever force feeding middle management. If you want to learn about human nature, you'll get more by sharing two drinks with a bartender -- about what this book costs.
I purchased this after reading the WSJ review, thinking it would have some insights as to irrational behavior. However, it's just a subjective view of decisions the author thinks are nonsensical and then a pseudo-scientific analysis to support that perspective. I should have gone to a book store and skimmed the book first.
We all make mistakes. Some minor, others, life-changing. Obtaining all the knowledge we can about this field will enhance our time on earth. Based on great stories and solid research, this fun book takes a meandering stroll down the beaches of behavioral and social science. Along the way, we find pearls of wisdom.
In light of the lessons I learned in this book, I will now have to go back and re-read Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinkingby Malcolm Gladwell whose lessons I have been applying at work and home. This book - in a way - is the opposite of Blink whereby our intuition does not rush in to save the day.
I applaud the lack of digressions and tangents. Too often, this type of book leaves the subject matter to discuss an area the reader has not interest in. My only negative critique is that this is really more of a subject for a magazine or journal article rather than a full-blown book length treatment. Still, I really enjoyed the book and hope you find this review helpful.
Michael L. Gooch, SPHR
I'm always curious about why people (myself included) do the goofy things they do. Sway helps explain some of that, using storytelling and a generous amount of research into the topic. As it turns out, the main reasons we behave irrationally boil down to three: loss aversion, value affirmation and diagnosis bias. The author uses storytelling to define each, and then covers the research that gives them meaning. I thought this might be Gladwell-esque and it was. The stories aren't as extensive, but the research component is stronger than in Maldolm Gladwell's books. I thought the author gave short shrift to what we can do to help avoid the three traps in thinking. Some of the information he presented is counter-intuitive -- like the fact that money can be a DIS-incentive to rational behavior. I found it interesting that the altruism center and the pleasure center of the brain cannot be activated at the same time. Lots of food for thought in Sway, and for that reason alone, I can recommend it. I will be likely to go back to this book again and again.
Fast and entertaining read!
Very informative & easy to apply to real-life scenerios.
Great read
All in all, this was a book that starts of great and plummets down towards. There was some good insight on a part of our irrational behavior.But it seemed rather broad without a clear answer.This is all tolled from his perspective; unfortunately. And supported by some facts to prove his point.Not say that he is complete wrong, he did have intriguing descriptions regarding to how we make our judgment call's. This book is worthing read, I might have not found everything worth while because I couldn't apply it to my past experiences. But I did learn a little more about irrational behavior then, I would have not reading. There are a hand full of great description that I found beneficial to me. There were interesting ideas that if acknowledged can help us realize a little bit more about our decisions. I have learned that it's amazing that even thought we all think differently and processes information differently. There is a similarity in how our decision making can be mislead or "swayed" and that is where we all fail and make potential mistakes. I would say that if you get this book it's important to read till the end. Also, to have an open mind while reading not everything might apply to you.
