C A+F Guys & Girls: Boys at UNC can basically be broken into four categories: Liberal Arts, Athletes, Greek Life and Hard Science. The Liberal Arts boys tend to be slackers and this is reflected in their grades and habits - a lot of Cs and Ds, a lot of pot-smoking, a LOT of drinking. Athletes tend to keep to themselves - their class work tends to be terrible and they spend most of their time practicing. There have been some drug related scandals. Greek Life... Oh, where to begin? There are some sexual abuse scandals. One death, last year, that remains unsolved and his fraternity brothers are keeping silent and "lawyering up." Lots of drinking. The Hard Science students tend to keep to themselves because they are studying.
B A+F Guys & Girls: I wish there were more guys because the ratio is only 40% guys.
C A+F Guys & Girls: The majority are nice people trying to find their place at the university.
A- A+F Guys & Girls: The female to male ratio is 60:40. On average, the girls are attractive and there is a great party scene.
A+ A+F Guys & Girls: Melting Pot of dress and personality types at Chapel Hill. There is a 60/40 split girls to guys...seriously there are more beautiful girls and hunky guys. However, all individuals are very intelligent. There is something for everyone, and most people are very active, there will always be someone out running on a nice day. Very easy to meet people at school and community events.

Think twice about becoming vegan
In today's trendy artsy world, more and more young people are becoming vegan every single day. The reason most of these people become vegan is for the protection and welfare of animals. They encourage vegan meals, no meat, cheese, dairy, eggs etc. What most vegans do not realise is that there is a dirty underworld to the growing and manufacturing of this disgusting world trade that is kept well hidden from society.
Above is a picture taken in Indonesia of a carrot being prepared and slaughtered. The carrots are first skinned, then drowned, and can be eaten raw or are cooked in boiling water.
Also above is a disturbing picture of potatoes being ripped from their home. The preparation is the same as the carrots.
Bananas grow together in a herd. When they ripen, they are stolen from their family, and whilst they are still alive their skin is peeled back and their entire body is usually in eaten in about 6 bites.

India vs England Live Score, IND vs ENG Live Score 2nd Test Match
Watch India vs England Live Score 2nd Test Match. Get Ball by Ball commentary and Live Score IND vs ENG to played on Nov 23, 2012 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
England will look to fight back and draw the series when they take on hosts India at Mumbai for the 2nd Test. Having succumbed to a big defeat despite fighting efforts from skipper Alastair Cook and Matt Prior, England will be doubly determined to not be so easily run over by MS Dhoni's men and put up a show worthy of their recent rankings.
Click here for IND vs ENG 2nd Test Match Live Cricket Score.
India will be very happy with their showing in the first Test and will be keen to continue in the same vein. Their batting was top-notch while their bowling too lived upto its billing on a turning track.
Virender Sehwag's return to form and Cheteshwar Pujara's good run will give the hosts confidence of another good showing with the bat. There will however be concerns about the lack of form of Sachin Tendulkar and Gautam Gambhir and The team management will hope the two batting mainstays cash in, in Mumbai.
On the bowling front, the spinners managed apply a strangle hold against England's batting line-up, especially Pragyan Ojha. R Ashwin bowled well in the first innings but couldn't do much in the second, but he will remain a vital cog in India's plans of troubling the visitors. Dhoni will also be extremely happy with the performance of their pacers - Zaheer Khan pulled in all of his experience to keep their English batsmen on their toes while Umesh Yadav gave the England pacers a lesson or two on how to use pace to be a wicket-taking threat in India. Yadav however has been ruled out of the game and the team think-tank will hope Ishant Sharma, who is most likely to come in, ensures the Indians don't miss Yadav much.
England had very little to cheer about in the first Test. They were thoroughly outplayed by a relentless Indian team and have a few concerns to address in almost every department.
England will be pleased with the batting efforts of Cook and Prior but the rest of the batting order came up a cropper. They will want the likes of Nick Compton and Kevin Pietersen among others to pull up their socks and perform to potential if they are to keep India at bay.
Bowling-wise, only Graeme Swann managed to trouble the Indian batsmen. The off-spinner used the conditions well and was a constant thorn in the flesh for the Indians, but without support from the other end it could be asking for too much from the spinner. England are likely to bring in left-armer Monty Panesar for the 2nd Test and they will hope his inclusion proves to be the shot in the arm they are desperate for.

After working three days straight with TorontoALPHA's historic Educator's Conference 3 weekends ago, I had a lot to think about. There were a lot of thoughts roaming around inside my head regarding the events of World War II in Asia and how it is lost in most history books. A lost chapter in history it seems. So I tried to relate with the many scholars, speakers, and brilliant minds who voiced their thoughts throughout the conference, but ultimately, I couldn't relate. Due to my lack of experience and knowledge with history and anything political, I did as I always did, I listened and admired. The only way I could relate is to connect with my own perspective and my own story. I had to see everything through the lens of a Banana. And thus, I wrote down a speech of sorts, and I voiced it in front of a camera. Enjoy.
A Dire & Personal Topic by Philbert Lui – A Banana's "Embraced Contradiction" & TorontoALPHA:
The video is fairly long, but I hope you get something out of it. If you prefer reading, below is the written version of what I said (with slightly better grammar and sentence structure and more typos):
Hi there. I'm Philbert Lui of The Banana Times. This particular video blog is going to be a little different. Usually, traditional video blogs would have many cuts in the timeline to jump from shot to shot or scene to scene to make some kind of point. Well, that's not happening today because of the nature of what I'm about to talk about, I feel that this has to be uncut just so my train of thought is evident.
For those of you who have been following my personal twitter account or the Banana Times twitter account, you might know that I have been working for TorontoALPHA. Now TorontoALPHA is a non-profit organization aiming to promote the education of the events of World War II in Asia. And three weekends ago, TorontoALPHA hosted a very significant conference for the educators of Canada and others; to help spread the word on this lost chapter of history.
Now, to summarize, or to attempt to summarize any of the topics and amazing speeches seen at the conference would do the entire event injustice. Due to the amount brilliant minds that congregated at the conference, me trying to relay any of it would be feeble and quite offensive. So in order to shed any light on the event, on what I learned and on what I feel, I would have to speak from my perspective. For the few people who actually read The Banana Times blog or watches our once-in-a-blue-moon video on Youtube, may have noticed that I take pride in recognizing my own bias and that I embrace the contradictions within myself.
When I say being a contradiction, I mean it on several levels. For one, I think many people who assimilate with the Banana identity, whether you think you're completely Westernized on the inside or that you feel like you're multicultural on the inside, sometimes unknowingly lack the understanding that you are on some level a contradiction. Now I say and mean this in the most inoffensive way I possibly can. When I say you or people, in this context, are a contradiction, it is not an insult or an attack. Rather I think it is something to be embraced, and is also what my team and I strives for in The Banana Times. Being a Banana requires a capacity to embody more than one set of cultural values and attitudes beyond your native Asian identity, thus making you a liaison between certain boundaries of society. Being a person of Asian descent and be influenced and inspired by Western cultures and societies, in its very basic, traditional and prejudice form, is a contradiction. But going back to the origins of the term "banana", it was used by an older generation of Asians who considered themselves purely Asian, against a younger generation who have been brought up or influenced by Western cultures. In short, it's a derogatory term. And yet today, we embrace it with pride. And with that pride comes an embraced contradiction. An acceptance that with this nation-less but global label, comes the ability to withstand conflicting forces of culture, society, politics, gender within yourself. A power to hold and contain contradiction, which otherwise have been deemed negative by many others.
Now even though I identify with this "embraced contradiction" it is only 100% guaranteed applicable to me. To say it is applicable to others is nothing less than presumptuous. With that said, I also take pride in expressing through the lens of my own bias. Everyone's point of view, perspective or opinion is in itself a bias, and can be beneficial if embraced. Again, this is all me. I take pride in calling Craig Ferguson one of my modern day heroes because a few years back he said "I am no expert or alcoholism or anything, but I am an expert on my own story. I was there when it happened". These two sentences stuck with me, and perhaps will continue to for as long as I live. I claim to have the ability of "embraced contradiction" and the recognition of my own bias, because this is my own story. Out of everything I will learn, or come to learn or teach in my life, I will only be an expert on one thing. Myself. And thus I take much pride in saying and indicating that I have a bias and that I walk with contradiction with whatever I express or create.
I constantly reference the "Banana" or "Banana culture" because it is a significant of my story. And being able to reflect on my own story as an expert, I discovered something. Sure, after hearing my theories on biases and inner contradictions being good things, always talking about Bananas makes a lot of sense. But this is also valid because it is a case study. Being a Banana, in my words, means you have a beneficial ability to withstand, contain, and excel with more than one set of values and attitudes within you, but this is not only applicable to Bananas. Rather, it applicable to any similar form that also has an embraced contradiction. Meaning that anyone of any race who were raised, inspired, influenced, lived in a different society or culture from their ethnic origin can have this embraced contradiction. The Banana is only a case study in which me and The Banana Times specialize in, there are many other case studies related to multicultural capacity that I would not be nearly qualified to talk about. But I urge those who are experts of their own story to explore this capacity, to embrace this contradiction, and to be proud of your own unique bias.
Now that I've talked a little bit about how I operate and how my mind kind of works, I'd like to return to the weekend I've had. TorontoALPHA held a historic and important educators conference last weekend, I believe the first of its kind since WWII, and I was lucky enough to volunteer for them as a videographer. They aim to raise global awareness on the history of WWII in Asia specifically, as many people don't know about the atrocities that happened on that side of the world, especially those of us who grew up in the West. Many studies and books have been written about the European side of WWII with the genocide of the Jews, but there was also a similar Holocaust in Asia instigated by the Japanese Empire. And ultimately, TorontoALPHA aims to convince the Japanese government to make a sincere apology for their war crimes and admit to the atrocities they committed over 60 years ago. There were many speeches, testimonies, videos from many scholars and filmmakers, and to try to relay their knowledge would be egotistical of me.
But I would like to say this. I identify myself as a Banana. A person of Asian descent, more specifically Chinese descent, who was born in the West and have been influenced and surrounded by Western culture throughout his life, therefore creating a contradiction within myself as I said before. This contradiction is what I thrive on, and I tell stories and accounts of this contradiction through my own bias. And from this, I want to tell you something that I feel bananas are obligated to do. Learn about the events of World War II in Asia.
As members of the Banana community, we know more than one set of values and attitudes, that is our nature. But like any culture, it originates from history. The post-WWII era is a period in human history where mass-diaspora and migration increased, thus creating hybrid identities like Bananas. Not only do we need to learn about the events of WWII in Asia because of justice, but also to learn how identities such as the Banana came about. We are not only Asian or Western; we are international because of the nature of our identity. The Holocaust of Asia is not a Chinese problem, or a Japanese problem, or a Korean problem or an American problem, it is a global problem and a human problem that has yet to be resolved even after 60+ years.
Many of our grandparents were alive during WWII and without their strength and their vigor we would not be here. If there were a time where you should practice the Asian tradition of respecting your elders, this would be the time. Respect them by learning what they had to go through and what they had to endure for you to be here. Without our grandparents and their peers, Bananas would not exist. We would not exist. I would not exist.
Now what I have said comes out of the brief experience I have had with Toronto ALPHA. These are all thoughts from my own bias, and may be flawed. But if you are going to take anything way from what this contradictory, presumptuous Banana boy has said, take away this. If you believe you are a Banana, or have any other identity that enables you to have a multicultural capacity, and that you think that you have a contradiction within yourself that you can benefit and excel from, talk about it. Tell people your own story, because that's the best tale you can tell. You are the expert of your own story. Learn more about the Holocaust in Asia and maybe that would become part of your life and part of your story as well. Banana Culture is a culture that is both local and global. If your voice is heard, it will travel far.
Good luck.
If you have any questions, feel free to shoot them my way – email@example.com – I'll be happy to answer them. I have to stress that everything I have said is only 100% applicable to me, for others it may be different. But even so, this is just a gathering of thoughts from a person who is trying to tell his own story, but I hope it connects with people in any way possible. Because what happened to our grandparents and forefathers during World War II in Asia must be heard and learned.
I wish you luck.

Hudson & Fournier: Catholic Countdown to Election 2012, Day 6. The Art of Speaking Catholic Nonsense
With Election Day a week away, it's no surprise that Obama's Catholics are engaging in the art of speaking Catholic nonsense
With Election Day a week away, it's no surprise that Obama's Catholics are engaging in the art of speaking Catholic nonsense. As everyone knows, or should know, Biden rejects an entire list of moral and social teachings that protect persons and society from the destruction of innocent human life, the family, and our natural right to obey God without interference from the State.
As Alice replies to Humpty Dumpty, "The question is whether you can make words mean so many different things."
WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - With Election Day a week away, it's no surprise that Obama's Catholics are engaging in the art of speaking Catholic nonsense.
Lewis Carroll, the British author of the "Alice" stories, was a trained logician in addition to being a gifted writer. His Alice in Wonderland is filled with characters who speak nonsense, a habit which Carroll repeatedly underscores with lines like this:
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."
More from "Alice" later, because we should pause to mention just which Obama Catholics are sounding like Humpty Dumpty lately. First, and most notably, our nation's first Catholic Vice President, Joe Biden, who rather pathetically, yesterday, had to release a video reminding voters that he is a "practicing Catholic."
The script read by Biden into the camera is classic Humpty Dumpty, containing words that Biden delivered as if they meant he was a "believing Catholic," that is, one who believes and accepts the teachings of the Church. As everyone knows, or should know, Biden rejects an entire list of moral and social teachings that protect persons and society from the destruction of innocent human life, the family, and our natural right to obey God without interference from the State.
As Alice replies to Humpty Dumpty, "The question is whether you can make words mean so many different things."
Biden, however, only receives our B+ grade for the audacity of his dishonesty, while the A+ goes to the president of "Catholics for Choice". In an article from the Oct. 30 Chicago Sun-Times, which looks like it belongs in the Style section rather than the news, Jon O'Brien calls himself a "real traditionalist."
O'Brien, for any who may not know, replaced Frances Kissling at the helm of a "Catholic" group that promotes abortion and contraception to a mainstream media who lap it up. (The US Catholic Bishops have formally declared, several times, that O'Brien's group is NOT a Catholic organization.)
O'Brien speaks with the firm conviction of a Humpty Dumpty without shame: "I believe in the totality of Catholic teaching, and that includes the right to dissent and freedom of conscience."
You have to admire, so to speak, a man who can say that to a newspaper reporter on the same day he received a Personal PAC. When O'Brien, and Catholics like him, start talking about "conscience," it's time either to lift your sword and shield or leave the field because anything can, and will, happen.
The reporter, to her credit, did ask O'Brien the obvious question: whether he was a "cafeteria Catholic?" "No," O'Brien answered,
"What makes you a Catholic," he said, "is your Baptism."
Whatever happened to the life-is-a-journey sort of thing that Catholics like O'Brien used to wax poetical about? All of a sudden we are in a world of once-and-for-alls and theological finality: "What makes you Catholic is your Baptism." Really? Is that all there is to it, nothing else is required? Perhaps O'Brien should watch the Biden video where he equates being a "practicing Catholic" with helping those less fortunate.
Humpty Dumpty didn't allow Alice the last word, Humpty Dumpties never do:
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master -- that's all."
Yes, to be the "master" is all that matters to the Catholics who speak nonsense. Nov. 6 will reveal whether their gibberish will prevail with Catholic voters.

Here is the reality, without the double-speak:
1) As an Illinois state senator, Barack OBAMA VOTED 4 TIMES AGAINST the BORN ALIVE INFANT PROTECTION ACT
2) As Senator, Mr. Obama voted against the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, which would have notified parents when their kids crossed state lines to have an abortion
3) Senator Obama voted NO on preventing minors from crossing state lines for an abortion
4) Mr. Obama amazingly opposed a bill that would have prevented partial birth abortion
5) President Obama gave hundreds of millions of federal dollars to Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider
6) The Obama Administration rescinded a Bush regulation that would have protected providers from being punished for refusing to participate in abortions
7) Obamacare mandates that religious schools and hospitals provide health insurance plans that pay for abortifacients and contraceptives
8) President Obama selected 2 pro-abortion judges (Kagan and Sotomayor) to the Supreme Court.
9) President Obama nullified the pro-life "Mexico City policy", making organizations that perform and promote abortions eligible for United States foreign aid funds
10) Mr. Obama supports Roe v, Wade
11) As Senator Obama, he co-sponsored a bill that would have allowed cloning of embryos for research (S. 1520)
12) President Obama approved the use of taxpayer funds for embryonic stem cell research in March 2009
Needless to say, the National Right-To-Life Committe rated Mr. Obama 0% pro-life, and NARAL rated Mr. Obama 100% pro-choice.
Mr. Romney vetoed an embryonic stem cell research bill in 2005. Romney also supports the Hyde amendment, which would prevent tax-payer funding of abortions. Mitt Romney supports prohibiting the funding of Planned Parenthood. Mr. Romney is against Roe v. Wade. Mitt Romney's selection of Paul Ryan as VP (100% pro-life by NRLC) is strong. I challenge anyone to name one current Democratic Senator, Congressman, President, or VP with a stronger pro-life record than Paul Ryan. -

Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful article! I particularly enjoyed :"B+ grade goes to Joe Biden, for the Audacity of his Dishonesty; and an A+ grade goes to the President of Catholics For Choice".
The Intelligence and Ignorance (yes I know, I am giving them the benefit of the doubt) of these two men would be laughable if it were not so deadly. Are not Both these men intelligent to have such high positions? Yet, when it comes to their Catholic Faith, they appear to be dumb...in hopes that other poor souls, will see such men in high positions and believe what they say to be near gospel. In doing this, they commit grave sin, although they themselves ignore it, because in Truth, they are Both Not "practicing Catholics". This is fact according to CCD and Our Holy Father.
IF Joe Biden Were a True Practicing Catholic, he Would Not Be a politician of the Church's Four Non-Negotiables: Abortion, Embryonic Stem Cell Research, the Family, and Marriage. (Which is supporting homosexuality as a Natural Lifestyle, thus going Against Natural Law and Nature itself. Nature is also a Natural abortive=miscarriage. The Church and Others, do Natural Stem Cell Research which works well...there is no need to Abort babies for this. Abortion=Murder. The Church states a Catholic politician may Not Support These Four Items.
Holy Mother Church views them as Non-Negotiables. Therefore, How can one support Biden?
Common Sense 101 tells you: YOU CAN NOT!
Joe Biden Supports ALL of the ABOVE! So does the President of Catholics For Choice!
The first thinks that "...helping the less fortunate" qualifies as being a practicing Catholic!
"Please, Mr. VP, "Do Not Insult My Intelligence'!!! I believe you know Right from Wrong. I therefore must believe, that you, another Obama Catholic, have sold your soul for Greed and Power. And here I do not judge you. Only God knows the heart. But I do have Common Sense, and your Actions Speak Louder Than Your Words".
The second person in All of the Above is the same to me, I am sorry to say. I say to him as Biden. Especially since he has the audacity to say, as Joe Biden, that he is a "practicing Catholic". What makes him a Catholic? He answers: "Baptism". Then, the icing on the cake is: "I believe in the totality of Catholicism...and that includes the right to dissent and freedom of conscience".
That last sentence is contradicting! Now do you understand why I say Intelligence and Ignorance? Yes, Catholics in such High Power Need Not Be In High Power, leading the Really poor and ignorant astray. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! Nor should it be when you cast your vote!
Who you vote for says who you are. What you Believe. If you believe as these two High Powered men: You do not know your Faith in Catholicism. Or if you do, you are throwing caution to the wind, and you are Catholic in Name Only, here on earth. Not in Eternity.
It is heart wrenching to me, to see and hear Pretend Catholics. I pray for their souls, as well as my own and those of my family. "Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Pray For Us". -

Barack Obama picked Joe Biden (rated 0% pro-life by the NRLC), and Mitt Romney picked Paul Ryan, whose congressional record at votesmart.org shows why the National Right To Life Committee rated Ryan 100% pro-life. This is a good indication of values in future nominees and appointments, like judges, cabinet, etc,

Terri Kimmel I agree with you. Deacon Fournier I apologize. I have not read all you have written, my comment should have been addressed only to what the articles on the election have discussed. I am a sinner. I ask your forgiveness.

To Tom McGuire: I too am a Catholic writer, but not nearly as prolific as Deacon Fornier. One of the greatest frustrations and petty annoyances we as writers face is when a reader harvests thin air (that which we did not address in our written article) and formulates a postulated belief/philosophy on the writer's behalf and then promotes it as the writer's position on an issue. That's deception, in other words, it's lying. That's what you're doing here, Mr. McGuire. You're fabricating a position for Deacon Fornier out of what he /didn't/ address in his article. That's manipulative, misleading and insidious. Shame on you.
Going back to the cafeteria metaphor, commenting on the main course does not indicate that there isn't a balanced meal. Parsing words, drawing hasty conclusions, and attributing invented motivations to others are abusive behaviors. -

To: Tom McGuire. No. You are absolutely wrong. I just do not have time to get caught up in your verbal fisticuffs. There are five days left till this critical election. Who is elected has GRAVE consequences. For example, he will choose up to four Supreme Court Justices and implement or not implement a heinous "health care act" which has devastating implications... Just Google me and you will find I write about and contend for ALL those issues. However, there is a hierarchy of application. When there is no human life because of an administration fails to recognize the fundamental human right to life, all of the other ramifications Blessed John Paul so rightly addresses in that beautiful letter do not come into the forefront of the discussion. Before you presume to know where I stand, check my years of writing (INCLUDING my initial opposition to the INITIAL foray into what became the Second Iraq war as not justifiable).AFTER Nov 6th, I will return to the other issues and contend for all of them. Blessed John Paul II is my life champion and that letter is one of his greatest contributions.

For cafeteria Catholics, here is a list of intrinsic evil to choose from. This list is to be found in Veritatis Splendor where Pope Benedict XVI is quoting the Vatican Council.
"Whatever is hostile to life itself, such as any kind of homicide, genocide, abortion, euthanasia and voluntary suicide; whatever violates the integrity of the human person, such as mutilation, physical and mental torture and attempts to coerce the spirit; whatever is offensive to human dignity, such as subhuman living conditions, arbitrary imprisonment, deportation, slavery, prostitution and trafficking in women and children; degrading conditions of work which treat labourers as mere instruments of profit, and not as free responsible persons: all these and the like are a disgrace, and so long as they infect human civilization they contaminate those who inflict them more than those who suffer injustice, and they are a negation of the honour due to the Creator".
It would seem the authors of these articles on the election are cafeteria Catholics. They choose to limit the fare to a few items on the menu. Am I right?

Michaels, why is it that somebody "has to show you"....Why don't you use your own brains to figure things out! After all, we shall all be judged as individuals, on the basis of our own actions and not according to what someone else told/shown us!

Joe Biden is just a fool. The bad part is that "he" believes his own words. The good part is that few others do. Surely no Catholic can believe what he says.

Your concern is common to the concern of many people with good will.
We are truly unable to find a good candidate as we used to in the past.
however, we have a rule of thumb when make a choice.
with both are good, choose the better
with both are evil, don't choose the more evil but the lesser one
wish you have a best choice

This a good product. Can be used in the car which is a huge plus. The wood box holder it comes in is pretty convenient also. Helps in keeping product all in one place and together. The one drawback is that the cover to the box is a plastic and is pretty flimsy. I do wish it was a bit sturdier, Other wise a good product.

We'd love your input – and help – as we launch an initiative that will feature weekly rides, on many levels, on Saturdays in May, with some in association with the Carmel Departments of Parks and Recreation; a public arts project in the Putnam Trailway tunnels; an afterschool riding club at the local elementary school; a revival of the Tour de Putnam; a bike safety campaign; a mindfulness ride to the Chuang Yen Monastery; and the dream of having the Putnam Trailway dedicated as a county park. We'll get an update on state issues from Josh Wilson, executive director of the New York Bicycling Coalition. Putnam County planner John Pilner will detail the county's Putnam Trailway expansion — another mile into Brewster village, then 2.5 miles north on the Maybrook line toward the Connecticut border. We'll have sign-up sheets for the project you might like to work on. Among the tasks: getting our favorite Putnam route mapped onto RideWithGPS; finding ride leaders to commit to lead at least one ride in Putnam in 2014; dreaming up the arts project and fundraising for it; organizing for the Tour de Putnam; and riding with the fifth graders. The Library is at 668 Route 6, Mahopac, 10541. See you there. Call or text me 914-217-5600 if you have any questions. http://www.eventbrite.com/e/bike-putnam-launch-tickets-9252840495?aff=efbnend

College students obtain far less sleep than is recommended and often report that environmental factors such as noisy residence halls impair the sleep they do get. Insufficient and poor quality sleep put college students at risk for suboptimal academic performance, poor neurocognitive functioning, and accidents. The purpose of this study was to examine whether increasing participant accountability and salience of personal health behaviors, including sleep, would improve sleep variables.METHODS: As part of a larger study, college students completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in addition to a battery of other health related questionnaires both at the beginning and the end of an academic term lasting 10 weeks. Participants were 34 college students enrolled at a small liberal arts college and were recruited from psychology courses. The sample was 57% female, 88% white, and was 19.74±1.05 years in age. RESULTS: Participant self-reported sleep quality, with lower scores indicating better sleep quality, improved from Time 1 (M = 1.20, SD = 0.79) to Time 2 (M = 0.97, SD = 0.58) [F (1, 32) = 4.57; p < 0.05]. Ratings of sleep disturbance, with lower scores indicating less sleep disturbance, also improved from Time 1 (M = 1.14, SD = 0.43) to Time 2 (M = 0.94, SD = 0.49) [F (1, 32) = 7.78; p < 0.05]. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that simply asking college students to report on their health behaviors over time might be sufficient to improve sleep quality and reduce sleep disturbance. Follow-up studies should include objective measures; however, utilizing personal accountability and increasing personal salience of health promoting behaviors would be a low-cost, high impact method to improve both sleep and overall health for people of all ages.
Psychology, Sociology and Criminal Justice Research
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is characterized by cognitive impairments, which may result from intrusive, traumatic memories. One factor potentially influencing the development and maintenance of intrusive memories is prefrontal cortex development, a phenomenon associated with age. The present studies examined how age influences the effects of emotional memories on rat physiology and behavior. Adolescent and adult rats were exposed to predator stress and given water maze training five weeks later. Prior to memory testing, the rats were given a reminder of the predator stress. The results indicated that a reminder of the stress experience impaired long-term spatial memory in the female, adolescent rats only. These findings may have implications for the development of intrusive memories and the increased risk that females have for PTSD.
Clinical research suggests that a blunted corticosteroid response to trauma may be associated with increased risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In order to more directly test this hypothesis, we examined the influence of a blunted corticosterone response to stress on the development of PTSD-like behaviors in rats. One-month-old, male Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with metyrapone, an inhibitor or corticosterone synthesis, or vehicle prior to being exposed to an adult female cat for one hour. A week later, the rats were tested for anxiety-like behavior on an elevated plus maze (EPM) and for spatial learning and memory in the radial-arm water maze (RAWM). Analyses of post-stress serum samples verified that metyrapone effectively blocked the stress-induced increase of rat corticosterone levels. Behaviorally, we found that stress, independent of drug, led to an increase in some anxiety-like behaviors (e.g., overall movement, head dips) on the EPM. More importantly, we found that metyrapone administration prior to stress significantly impaired long-term spatial memory in the RAWM. These findings indicate that a blunted corticosteroid response to stress could exacerbate its effects on cognitive performance. Moreover, because anxiety-like behaviors on the EPM were not intensified by the blunted corticosteroid response to stress, our findings also suggest that specific physiological responses to an acute trauma may intensify some, but not all, PTSD-like symptoms.
Alcoholism is a chronic disease that develops as a result of a mixture of genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors. It is characterized by a continuation of habitual alcohol consumption following the realization that it poses a threat to the individual's interpersonal relationships and social standing. Addiction to alcohol tends to be progressive and untreatable, partly due to the cognitive distortions that commonly accompany the disease, particularly denial. In addition, alcoholics are distinctive in that they place drinking at a higher priority than obligations. The application of Émile Durkheim's macro-level theories can provide an understanding of alcoholism in terms of society's influence on the individual. According to Durkheim, in modern societies, individuals are immersed in both a profane and a sacred reality. Symbols are reminders that occur during the profane reality as reminders of the sacred reality and rituals. Rituals are enacted during the sacred reality and further consolidate the emotions that originally made membership to a group captivating. Durkheim also conceptualized "anomie," a lack of moral regulation over the individual. The lack of regulation over the treatment of alcohol, in particular, makes modern societies prone to alcoholism. Symbols are constantly compelling individuals to engage in the ritualistic act of drinking through alcohol advertising and surrounding conversations about alcohol. Joining a group with symbols of sobriety can establish a new sacred reality within the individual that thrives on the ability to defeat alcoholism. Despite psychological and genetic factors, a possible cure lies within strong group value systems that provide moral regulation over alcohol, as well as rituals and symbols that make sobriety a new, energizing way of life.
This paper addresses sociopathic behavior from the context of society as a whole. Using Durkheim and Mead takes sociopathy beyond a set of individual characteristics and allows us to look at how the sociopathic individual interacts with society to have an impact on the larger whole. Additionally, by understanding this phenomenon through both structural and interactional lenses we are able to see how patterns in society can affect and are affected by sociopathic individuals.
Interracial adoption is the phenomenon where children of one racial or ethnic group are adopted by parent(s) of another racial or ethnic group. Racial disparities are apparent within the adoption system in the United States. With the increasing acceptance of family structures outside the nuclear family, this work examines the continued reluctance to create interracial families through adoption. Max Weber's concepts of status, party, rationality and the construction of race are used to address white parents preferring to adopt non-black, minority children, the use of race as a factor in matching a child with a family, the reluctance to the idea of a biracial family, and the hesitancy of black families to interracial adoption more so than white families.
Research has found that emerging adults often report poor sleep quality, which has been connected to problems with mood regulation, academic performance, and accidents. One way to regulate these problems is to practice healthy sleep habits, such as keeping a regular bed time to ensure optimal sleep quality. Additionally, some people with external locus of control, believing events are outside one's personal control, may disregard their ability to engage in good sleep practices, affecting their overall sleep quality.METHOD: As part of a larger study, Rotter's Locus of Control (LOC) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were utilized to assess college students over the course of an academic term. Participants (N=34) ranged in age from 18-22 (M=19.73) with 19 females and 15 males.
RESULTS: An ANOVA assessing the relationship between LOC and Global PSQI scores indicated a main effect of LOC (p=.045), such that those with an external LOC had higher overall PSQI scores (M=8.59) than those with an internal LOC (M=6.28). An additional ANOVA examining regular bed times and Global PSQI scores showed a main effect of bed time (p=.016), such that those without a regular bed time had higher overall PSQI scores (M=8.47). Furthermore, participants' scores were above the accepted clinical cutoff of 5 for Global PSQI indicating overall poor sleep quality.CONCLUSION: The results suggest that among emerging adults, an external LOC and not having a regular bed time are associated with worse overall sleep quality than those who have a set bed time and have an internal LOC. These findings suggest that manipulations of one's locus of control as well as education about sleep hygiene might be a point of intervention for college students to improve sleep quality and, subsequently, academics and mood.
We have studied the effects of spatial learning and predator stress-induced amnesia on the expression of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and calcineurin in the hippocampus, basolateral amygdala (BLA), and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). Adult male rats were given a single training session in the radial-arm water maze (RAWM) composed of 12 trials followed by a 30-min delay period, during which rats were either returned to their home cages or given inescapable exposure to a cat. Immediately following the 30-min delay period, the rats were given a single test trial in the RAWM to assess their memory for the hidden platform location. Under control (no stress) conditions, rats exhibited intact spatial memory and an increase in phosphorylated CaMKII (p-CaMKII), total CaMKII, and BDNF in dorsal CA1. Under stress conditions, rats exhibited impaired spatial memory and a suppression of all measured markers of molecular plasticity in dorsal CA1. The molecular profiles observed in the BLA, mPFC, and ventral CA1 were markedly different from those observed in dorsal CA1. Stress exposure increased p-CaMKII in the BLA, decreased p-CaMKII in the mPFC, and had no effect on any of the markers of molecular plasticity in ventral CA1. These findings provide novel observations regarding rapidly induced changes in the expression of molecular plasticity in response to spatial learning, predator exposure, and stress-induced amnesia in brainregions involved in different aspects of memory processing.

anybody else a big fan?
^i almost died laughing the first time i watched that laundromat scene.
anybody else a big fan?
^i almost died laughing the first time i watched that laundromat scene.
I never really watched it enough to know, but when I was younger I remember my dad loved it. He's something of a big fan of all things British. I remember he'd watch Keeping Up Appearances whenever it was on too...and then there was this show about vets too that I'd watch with him, All Things Great and Small I think it was called or something similar...man, that was so long ago...
When I was a kid, my grandfather watched after my brothers and I when my parents were at work and we used to watch Mr. Bean all the time!
Mr.Bean was a fixture here on CBC for several years. I watched it quite regularly when I was growing up.
Here's a couple of classics:
Man, I loved Mr. Bean. Have any of you seen the movie?
Favourite/least favourite by seasons that I own (somewhat stolen from Financial Panther):
3 - Dog of Death/When Flanders Failed 4 - Lisa's First Word/So it's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show 5 - Secrets of a Successful Marriage/Bart's Inner Child 6 - And Maggie Makes Three/Another Simpsons Clip Show 7 - Marge Be Not Proud/Bart the Fink 8 - Homer's Phobia/The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase 9 - King of the Hill/Trash of the Titans 10 - Wild Barts Can't Be Broken/Maximum Homerdrive
Yeah, I've seen both movies - they sorta pale in comparison to the magic of the TV series.
I have gone
Film 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bean_(film)
Film 2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Bean%27s_Holiday
The way I remember it; Mr. Bean's holiday stayed closer to the spirit of the TV series. I also recall finding both hilarious in places but I just think his stories fit the 10 minute or so long vignette form better.
All Creatures Great and Small: http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Cr...all_(TV_series)
It was a good show, although (from memory) a lot of what I saw seemed to be the assistant getting drunk and the main character going out to farms with quite gruff blokes with poorly cows and sheep. My mum worked on a farm for a while so she used to watch that show when I were a lad. Going to Yorkshire myself I always remember that show, it captured that beautiful bleak, rural landscape pretty well.
Yeah! That's it! I remember it used to be on every morning at like six or seven in the morning and I'd wake up, take a bath, and immediately come downstairs to watch as much of it as I could with my dad...I couldn't have been more than 6 or 7 years old at the time...the only episode I can remember vividly was one where they ate this weird bread and they couldn't stop burping or farting because of it, I forget which...memories
I'm surprised that reached America.
I think it was on A&E, or maybe PBS, I know Keeping Up Appearances was on PBS, but I don't really remember for sure...
the first movie was hilariously amazing. the second movie was pretty bad.

best scene from the first movie, called Bean:
whose got the series dvds?
I actually have an old VHS tape called the "The Best Of Bean". It has many of the classic episodes from the series including the ones posted so far in this thread.
The movie was funny and all but not even close to the original series. It was on HBO here in the U.S.
Yup, I do...
REally old, but I still laugh when it's christmas time and his watch gets stuck with the stuffing and ending up with the turkey on his head
Bean sitting in a park trying to make a sandwich from stuff ou of his pocket, so hilarious
Bean going to the swimming pool
And the first Bean movie, that painting redrawn hahahahahahahaha or pulling his middle finger out to everyone ( I tried it a couple of times just for fun with some mates, the peoples face were so good)
KPBS in San Diego usually shows the episodes on Saturdays...I used to watch when they were on.
Wasn't the next movie a flop? That's what I heard so I didn't see it.
if by flop you mean not very funny, then yes. i believe it received mixed reviews getting like a 5/10 most places.
I didn't think it was disappointing at all. I enjoyed it.
I lost my interest when the kid stole his camera in the second movie
First movie was funnier, second movie felt more closely related to TV series. Draw from that what you will.
Mr. Bean was always good for a cheap laugh but I can't say I'm a big fan. I loved the swimming pool scene a lot but otherwise I find it hot-and-cold.
I loved his fascination with M & Ms, especially in the movie....I couldn't find any pictures!

How NC Celebrates MLK Jr. Day
Residents across North Carolina observe the Martin Luther King Junior holiday with calls to service and celebrations. In Greensboro, city officials host a breakfast today ahead of other holiday events. Greensboro human relations spokesman Robert Nunn says the breakfast helps residents remember the city was in the middle of the Civil Rights Movement in the early 1960s:
"Greensboro has a long history of civil rights, and so this is just kind of one more thing that the community does, comes together, recognizes the history of civil rights in Greensboro, and also to commemorate Dr. King's legacy and his work in civil rights."
The Town of Cary hosts service projects tonight after residents join today's march in Raleigh. The Martin Luther King Junior holiday coincides with President Obama's second inauguration in Washington.

77% of Smartphone Users Accessed Local Content in December 2012
The influence of mobile devices on local content continues to grow, details the Local Search Association in a new study [pdf] prepared using comScore data. According to the study, 48% of mobile phone users accessed local content in December 2012, up from 42% a year earlier. And that figure should only grow alongside rising smartphone penetration: smartphone users were more than 5 times as likely as non-smartphone users to access local content (77% vs. 14%). In fact, a significant 24% of traffic to online directories and other local resources came from mobiles and tablets in December 2012, quadruple the 6% share from a year earlier. Read more »
