Most of us Aerie girls have at least one multi-way bra in our bra wardrobe…but are we using it to its fullest potential? Our fit and style expert, Jenny Altman (@ILoveAGood), answers your latest #AskJenny question on how multi-ways can be so much more than strapless, below!
Q: I know there are other ways you can wear Aerie's convertible bras besides just strapless – but I'm lost! What exactly are the different ways to wear a multi-way bra?
A: The great thing about having a multi-way bra in your closet is that it is so versatile! You do not need a bra for each outfit, you just need a great do-it-all bra. Aerie offers several multi-way bras in both pushup and lightly lined…functioning as 6+ bras in one!
My personal favorite is the Mia Multi-Way pushup bra…it adds just the right amount of lift that's perfect with everything from your strappy tanks to most formal dresses. A great everyday option is our Audrey Multi-Way bra for you lightly lined girls!
If you only have budget for one multi-way bra, I always suggest nude for maximum versatility.
The animation below gives a step-by-step guide for all the different ways to wear your favorite multi-way (here, it's the Mia Vintage Lace Multi-Way pushup bra). With so many ways to wear, this bra can really go the distance – and stretch your dollar!
So, Aerie girls, don't let the straps on your newest multi-way purchase collect dust in your drawer! Use them to their full potential and you'll see what a versatile must-have a multi-way bra is in your wardrobe. They are truly the best investment bras ever!

Steve McIntosh needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 38 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
We are a software development firm specializing in workflow/collaborative applications development.
Our logo and brand image is outdated and in need of updating. It's old, tired, confusing and amateurish - or so our target market tells us. We want something reflective of a dynamic, innovative technology company.
- The new version of the logo must retain the 1+1=3 moniker
- The name of the company is Teamwork Solutions. That can be used as a tagline, though our current tagline is "integrating people and technologies for improved corporate performance". Open to suggestions on this.
- The current logo can be found at http://www.teamsol.com/home2.nsf/TS…2.GIF?open
- The color scheme of the new logo should be complementary to the product's logo: http://www.processitsoftware.com/pi…o.GIF?open
- The new logo should be legible in color and black and white. It will be used primarily on the web, but will occasionally be used in printing and on clothing.
- Final file should be in a vector format like that produced by Adobe Photoshop
- Many contrasting colors

AT&T are once again selling the wired Nokia Purity Headphones for just $99 from its online store. The accessory isn't the latest model with Bluetooth and NFC, nor can it make you a splendid cup of tea, but they're highly rated and are a perfect companion for a Windows Phone.
We previously looked at the US operator slashing the price of the headphones last month, but it's good to see AT&T take advantage of the season for explosive shopping sprees. For comparison, Amazon currently have the same headphones listed for $200.
If you're set to purchase a Lumia 920 on AT&T, be sure to check out the deals available on optional hardware.

Mike deGruy
Award-winning nature cinematographer
Mike deGruy, 60, an award-winning marine scientist and nature cinematographer best known for documentaries featuring underwater footage that brought viewers up close to sea creatures, plants and geographical features, died Saturday in a helicopter crash in eastern Australia, National Geographic said.
Australian television writer-producer Andrew Wight, 52, also died when the helicopter he was piloting crashed soon after takeoff from an airstrip near Nowra, 97 miles north of Sydney.
DeGruy, a Santa Barbara resident, produced and directed documentary films primarily about the ocean. An accomplished diver and submersible pilot who spent many hours filming deep beneath the sea, he was the director of undersea photography for James Cameron's 2005 "Last Mysteries of the Titanic."
Born Dec. 29, 1951, in Mobile, Ala., DeGruy earned a bachelor's in marine zoology from North Carolina State University and did graduate work in marine biology at the University of Hawaii. He worked at a marine lab in the Marshall Islands before becoming a nature cameraman.
While diving near the Marshall Islands in 1978, DeGruy was attacked by a gray reef shark that tore off part of his right arm, but he was undeterred by the 11 operations, skin grafts and tendon transfers he endured.
He shot film for documentaries and later began producing and hosting the films that ran on the BBC, PBS, National Geographic and the Discovery Channel.
He shared an Emmy Award and another from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts for cinematography in 2002 for his work on Discovery's "Blue Planet: Seas of Life" program.
Zalman King
Writer-producer of '9 1/2 Weeks'
Zalman King, 70, who became one of the best-known erotic filmmakers in Hollywood after writing and producing "9 1/2 Weeks," died Friday at his home in Santa Monica, said his son-in-law Allison Burnett. He had cancer.
Born Zalman King Lefkowitz in Trenton, N.J., on May 23, 1941, he studied anthropology at Grinnell College in Iowa and worked as a commercial diver before moving to Southern California with his wife, Patricia Louisianna Knop, in the 1960s.
Beginning his career as an actor, he was a regular from 1969 until 1971 on the TV series "The Young Lawyers" and had guest roles on "Gunsmoke," "Daniel Boone" and other shows. He also acted in movies including "The Ski Bum," "Trip With the Teacher" and "The Passover Plot" and got his start as a producer on the Alan Rudolph films "Roadie" and "Endangered Species."
King and Knop co-wrote the screenplay, along with Sarah Kernochan and Elizabeth McNeill, for "9 1/2 Weeks," which became a cult hit in 1986, with Adrian Lyne directing and Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke starring.
King built on the success of the film at overseas box offices and in video rentals by writing and directing more movies in the erotic genre, including "Two Moon Junction" and "Wild Orchid." He also became a writer, producer and director for the popular Showtime cable TV anthology series "The Red Shoes Diaries."

Difference between revisions of "Gran Parque Natural Topes de Collantes"
Revision as of 03:01, 30 August 2008
Gran Parque Natural Topes de Collantes is in Cienfuegos, Villa Clara, and Sancti Spiritus provinces of Cuba.
Che's rebels hid in the Escambray mountains during the revolution. After the revolution (1961-1969) CIA-sponsored counter-revolutionaries (bandidos) hid in the same mountains. The Museo de la Lucha Contra Los Bandidos, a museum in Trinidad, documents the latter fight.
The national park has jungle-covered limestone mountains with waterfalls and caves.
The highest mountain is Pico de San Juan, at 1150 meters (3773 feet). You can't hike to the summit, as the mountain is in a military zone.
Flora and fauna
Get in
Get around
The main road starts at a junction four kilometers west of Trinidad. The road to Topos de Collantes is about fifteen kilometers and is amazingly steep. It is paved well (by Cuban standards).
The road from Cienfuegos through La Sierrita to San Blas is good, and quite scenic. Near San Blas is a cliff with stalactites. Somewhere between San Blas and Buenos Aires, near the village of Matagua, the pavement ends. Locals say the road is impassable after this, unless you have a Jeep. This road goes to Topos de Collantes, and has a turnoff that goes to El Nicho. This road goes through the highest mountains and might be a good mountain bike ride. Be aware that much of the area is military zone, so don't go hiking off the road, or take too many pictures.
The national park has several tourist areas.
Parque Guanayara
According to the map, this site includes "canyoning cascades," as well as the Cascada El Rocío waterfall, swimming, hiking trails, camping, and a restaurant.
Parque El Nicho
El Nicho is a beautiful series of waterfalls and clear blue pools. The drive from Cienfuegos is one to two hours each way. The road is good to Crucecitas, and after that it's OK if you drive slowly. There's a bus from Cienfuegos. El Nicho can be popular, especially in the summer. Don't expect solitude. The entrance fee is 5 CUC. You can hike along the creek above the waterfalls. Horseback riding is also offered. A restaurant serves meals.
Parque Altiplano
This is the most developed tourist site. The only hotels are here (including the huge Kurhotel Escambray). There's the Museo de Arte Cubano Contemparano ("Museum of Contemporary Cuban Art"); the Casa de Café, featuring locally grown coffees; and the "Mi Retiro" restaurant.
The 7-kilometer (roundtrip) hike to the 75-meter Salto de Caburní ("Caburní Falls") is well worth the effort (6.50 CUC fee at the gate). You can swim in the large pool below the falls. The trail starts east of the Kurhotel.
Another good hike is the Sendero La Batata, which is about six kilometers (roundtrip) to a cave with an underground creek. You can swim in the cave. Bring sandals for climbing around in the cave, unless the soles of your feet are tough! The trail starts at the Casa de Café. The fee is 3.50 CUC.
Other features include the Jardin de Gigantes ("Giants Garden") and a short hike to Salto Vega Grande ("Vega Grande Falls').
Parque Codina
This is near the Parque Altiplano. A restaurant serves tour groups. There are hiking trails to waterfalls, caves, and viewpoints. Birdwatching and camping are also listed on the map.
Parque El Cubano
This site is the closest to Trinidad. According to the map, this site has a waterfall, swimming, camping, birdwatching, horseback riding, and a restaurant. A trail goes to the Mirador de Caribe, which is on the road to Topos de Collantes.
Embalse Hanabanilla
This reservoir is on the north side of the national park. At El Salto de Hanabanilla ("Hanabanilla Falls") there is a hotel with hiking, horseback riding, boating, and fishing. The nearest town is Manicaragua.
Villa Guajimico
Though not in the national park, this resort for Cubans is close by. The resort is on the coast, at the mouth of the Río La Jutía. 51 nice cabins are available, a good restaurant, and a salt-water swimming pool. Villa Guajimico is about halfway between Cienfuegos and Trinidad. Closer to Trinidad, Playa Ingles ("English Beach") is a simple campismo for Cubans, with a decent beach but no food or showers. Even closer to Trinidad is Río Yaguuanabo, a more developed resort for Cubans with a large beach below an impressive bridge.
Cave Exploring
The Cueva Martin Infierno is one of Cuba's most important caves. It is closed to the public but speleologists can contact the Sociedad Espeleológica de Cuba in Havana to request a visit. The cave is on the western (Cienfuegos) side of the national park, west of Parque Codina. A second cave, Cueva El Maiz, is nearby.
The hike from Topos de Collantes to El Nicho looks appealing, and is probably about 15 kilometers. A multi-day hike might be possible starting at Parque El Cubano, climbing to Topos de Collantes, staying two nights with local hiking the second day, then hiking to El Nicho the third day.
Fishing and Boating
Fishing and boating might be possible on the Embalse Hanabanilla reservoir.
The Museo de Arte Cubano Contemparano ("Museum of Contemporary Cuban Art") is near the Kurhotel Escambray.
The Casa de Café, south of the Kurhotel Escambray, serves a variety of locally grown coffees.
The huge Kurhotel was built in 1936 and has 210 rooms and 16 suites. A spa, it also has a restaurant, five gyms, a cabaret, and a thermal swimming pool with massage and therapeutic services available.
The two other hotels are the Villa Caburní and the Hotel Los Helechos.
All three hotels are tourist-only (no Cubans allowed). There are no casas particulares and nowhere for Cubans to stay.
Campismos are indicated on the map, at Parque Guanayara, Parque Altiplano, Parque Codina, Parque El Cubano, and Parque El Nicho.

Hardanger is in Norway.
Hardanger consists of the following municipalities: Jondal, Kvam, Granvin, Ulvik, Eidfjord, Ullensvang and Odda
Other destinations[edit]
Hardangervidda - Largest mountain plateau in Europe and the largest national park in Norway. Folgefonna - Glacier located on the east side of the Hardangerfjord Kvamskogen - Mountain area. Home to several skiing resorts.
When thinking of Norway, most people think of fjords and mountains, and to that degree, Hardanger is one the most stereotypical Norwegian areas in Norway. The region covers the area from Kvam in the west, up north along the Hardangerfjord to Granvin and Ulvik in the north, Eidfjord in the east, and down along the Sørfjord to Odda in the south. Roads cling to the mountainsides along the fjord, and there are three ferries crossing the fjords. Apart from the grand nature, the region is most famous for it's huge fruit production. Farms growing apples, pears, cherries and plums cover almost all the fields along the fjords. This makes the region a spectacular travel location during the fruit blooming in May and early June. The region is also home of several notable artists, musicians and writers. The mountain-areas of the region are good locations for skiing and winter sports. The Folgefonna glacier also has a summer-ski center.
Get in[edit]

Get around[edit]
The easiest way of getting around once you reach Hardanger, is by using a car. If you bring a bicycle, the area is well suited for biking trips. Hiking in Hardanger is also recommended.
By bus[edit]
If you would like to travel by bus or coach, the national coach operator is called NOR-WAY Bussekspress. Further regional and local buses are managed by the public transport authority in Hordaland, Skyss on Public Service Obligations. In Hardanger, you may find some lines to be rather infrequent. Some lines run only a handful of times per day, some only on schooldays and so on. Even so, the network does cover most areas.
See[edit][add listing]
Do[edit][add listing]
Eat[edit][add listing]
Hardanger is famous for it's fruit. Small fruit stalls can be found along all major roads from late summer 'till mid-fall. Most of these stalls are not manned, but rely on the honesty of the customer. Most often there is a small jar where you leave the money for the purchased products. Stealing from these jars would be considered extremely rude.
Drink[edit][add listing]
The Hardanger apple-cider is world famous, and should be tried if you find yourself in the region. The cider comes in both alcholic and non-alcoholic variants. However, due to national law, the variant containing alcohol can no longer be sold outside the state owned liquor store, where it is only rarely available, The non-alcholic variant is sold from the fruit stall along all major roads from August 'till early October. The price ranges from 50NOK to 80NOK per litre.

'Heads I Win, Tails You Lose': How Parapsychologists Nullify Null Results
Richard Wiseman
Skeptical Inquirer Volume 34.1, January / February 2010
Parapsychologists have tended to view positive results as supportive of the psi hypothesis while ensuring that null results don't count as evidence against it. Here's how this self-deceptive process works and four suggestions to overcome it.
After more than sixty years of experimentation, researchers have failed to reach a consensus about the existence of psi (psychic ability). Some argue that there exists overwhelming evidence either for or against the psi hypothesis, while others believe that it simply isn't possible to answer the question one way or the other. One of the main obstacles to closure on the psi question involves the way in which null results are viewed (Alcock 2003). Many parapsychologists have adopted a "heads I win, tails you lose" approach to their work, viewing positive results as supportive of the psi hypothesis while ensuring that null results do not count as evidence against it.
Cherry-Picking New Procedures
Parapsychologists frequently create and test new experimental procedures in an attempt to produce laboratory evidence for psi. Most of these studies do not yield significant results. However, rather than being seen as evidence against the existence of psychic ability, such null findings are usually attributed to the experiment being carried out under conditions that are not psi-conducive. They are either never published (the "filedrawer effect," see Douglas M. Stokes, "The Shrinking Filedrawer," SI, May/June 2001) or are quietly forgotten even if they make it into a journal or conference proceeding. Once in a while one of these studies produces significant results. Such studies frequently contain potential methodological artifacts, in part because they are using new procedures that have yet to be scrutinized by the research community. In addition, the evidential status of these positive findings is problematic to judge because they have emerged from a mass of nonsignificant studies. Nevertheless, they are more likely than nonsignificant studies to be presented at a conference or published in a journal, usually viewed by proponents as tentative evidence for psi, acting as a catalyst for further work.
To my knowledge, only one paper has revealed an insight into the potential scale of this problem. Watt (2006) summarized all of the psi-related final-year undergraduate projects that have been supervised by staff at Edinburgh University's Koestler Parapsychology Unit between 1987 and 2007. Watt tracked down thirty-eight projects, twenty-seven of which predicted overall significant performance on a psi task with the remainder predicting significant differences between experimental conditions. The work examined a range of new and established procedures, including, for example, dowsing for a hidden penny, the psychokinetic control of a visual display of a balloon being driven by a fan onto spikes, presentiment of photographs depicting emotional facial expressions, detecting the emotional state of a sender in a telepathy experiment, ganzfeld studies, and card guessing. Interestingly, Watt's paper also demonstrated a reporting bias. Only seven of the thirty-eight studies had made it into the public domain, presented as papers at conferences held by the Parapsychological Association. All of these papers had predicted overall significant performance on the psi task. There was a strong tendency for parapsychologists to make public those studies that had obtained positive findings, with just over 70 percent (five out of seven) of the studies presented at conferences showing an overall significant result, versus just 15 percent (three out of twenty) of those that remained unreported. Watt's analysis, although informative, underestimates the total number of psi-related studies undertaken at Edinburgh University because it did not include projects undertaken by students prior to their final year, experiments run by postgraduate students and staff, or any work conducted before 1987. Multiply these figures by the number of parapsychologists who have conducted and supervised psi research across the world over the last sixty years or so, and the scale of the issue becomes apparent.
Explain Away Unsuccessful Attempted Replications
If a procedure seems to yield significant psi effects, additional follow-up studies using that procedure are conducted. Although these additional studies occasionally take the form of strict replications, they usually involve some form of variation. If these follow-up studies obtain significant results, they are often the subject of considerable debate: proponents argue that the findings represent evidence of psi, and skeptics scrutinize the work for possible methodological and statistical shortcomings. However, any failure to replicate can be attributed to the procedural modifications rather than to the nonexistence of psi. Perhaps the most far-reaching version of this "get out of a null effect free" card involves an appeal to the "experimenter effect," wherein any negative findings are attributed to the psi-inhibited nature of the parapsychologist running the study.
This nullifying of null findings permeates parapsychological literature. For example, Kanthamani and Broughton (1994) report a large-scale attempt to replicate the alleged ganzfeld telepathy effect, wherein one participant (referred to as a receiver) experiences a mild form of sensory deprivation and is then asked to identify a target being viewed by another person (a sender) in a distant location. Parapsychologists have employed various types of targets in these experiments, including photographs and drawings (static targets) and video clips (dynamic targets). In the studies described by Kanthamani and Broughton, the target material consisted of randomly chosen pictures (mainly postcard-sized art prints). The project involved a huge amount of work: researchers ran a series of experiments over a six-year period and conducted more than 350 individual ganzfeld sessions. The studies yielded a nonsignificant cumulative effect. However, Kanthamani and Broughton spent no time discussing whether this null finding might act as evidence against the psi hypothesis and instead simply concluded that "it is probably safe to say that static picture targets remain a less than ideal choice for ganzfeld experiments."
Once again, this process represents the "heads I win, tails you lose" principle. Successful replications are seen as evidence of psi, while null results are attributed to the non-psi-conducive conditions under which the replication was carried out.
Data Mining
In addition to explaining away null findings via allegedly failed procedural modifications, some parapsychologists also adopt an "any anomaly will do" attitude and data mine in an attempt to produce some kind of psi-related result. Although such post hoc data mining might help guide future work, it has little if any evidential value. Nevertheless, parapsychologists often present it as tentative evidence in support of the psi hypothesis.
Willin's (1996) description of his ganzfeld psi studies presents a striking example of this process at work. Willin conducted one hundred ganzfeld sessions over a fifteen-month period, taking the unusual step of using musical clips as targets. The study obtained a nonsignificant result. However, rather than explore whether this null finding counts as evidence against the psi hypothesis, Willin conducted a series of post hoc analyses, exploring, for example, the relationship between participants' psi scores and their age, profession, hobbies, previous paranormal experiences, and relationship with the person acting as the sender. Additional analyses explored psi scoring as a function of the month and time of day each trial was conducted. Most of these analyses yielded inconclusive results, but Willin eventually found that trials conducted early in the experiment obtained a higher hit rate than those conducted later and suggested that this might have been due to "less interest being shown by the Receivers and the Senders or by an unintentional goat effect being displayed by the Experimenter."
This type of data mining again shows the "heads I win, tails you lose" principle in action, with any null effects being nullified by the apparent discovery of post hoc findings.
Meta-Analyses and Retrospective Data Selection
After several studies have been conducted using a new procedure, parapsychologists usually carry out some form of meta-analytic review of the work. If the combined outcome of the studies is significant, the meta-analysis is usually the subject of considerable debate, with proponents believing that the finding represents evidence of psi and skeptics arguing that it may have a normal explanation (including, for example, publication bias, inappropriate inclusion criteria, and poor methodology). However, if the cumulative effect is nonsignificant, parapsychologists often attribute this null effect to the non-psi-conducive procedural variations described in the preceding section.
Perhaps more important, the procedurally heterogeneous collection of studies usually presents parapsychologists with an opportunity to "explain away" overall null effects by retrospectively identifying a subset of studies that used a certain procedure and yielded a significant cumulative effect.
A striking illustration of this occurred in the late 1990s during a meta-analytic debate surrounding the ganzfeld psi studies. In 1999, Milton and Wiseman published a meta-analysis of all ganzfeld studies that were begun after 1987 and published by the start of 1997, and they noted that the cumulative effect was both small and nonsignificant (Milton and Wiseman 1999). Some parapsychologists criticized this analysis, arguing that they had included all of the ganzfeld studies conducted during this period and that they should have instead focused on those that had employed a "standard" procedure developed by parapsychologist Charles Honorton and his colleagues during a seminal set of ganzfeld studies conducted at the Psychophysical Research Laboratory (PRL) in the late 1980s. The difficulties with this approach became clear when researchers were unable to settle on what would constitute a "standard" set of procedures (Schmeidler and Edge 1999). Eventually, Bem, Palmer, and Broughton (2001) set out to tackle this issue experimentally, asking several people to rate the degree to which the studies in our analysis had employed Honorton's "standard" ganzfeld procedure and then correlating their ratings against the effect size of each study. Rather than provide their own description of this "standard" procedure, Bem, Palmer, and Broughton had the raters read relevant sections in two previous papers describing the PRL studies. However, they also added a series of additional conditions, informing their raters, for example:
You should treat as standard the use of artistic or creative subject samples (as one of the most successful components of the PRL experiments used such a sample) or subjects having had previous psi experiences or having practiced a mental discipline such as meditation (as such subjects were shown to be the best scorers in the PRL experiments).
The addition of participant selection as an allegedly "standard" condition was not mentioned in the method section of either of the papers describing the PRL work. As such, it could be seen as an excellent example of retrospective data fitting, wherein parapsychologists decide which studies to analyze (or, in this instance, the weight assigned to them) on the basis of their known outcome.
Once again, it's the "heads I win, tails you lose" principle. A significant overall effect is seen as evidence for psi while a null effect initiates post hoc searching for pockets of significance.
Decline Effects and Jumping Ship
The alleged psi effects associated with a certain procedure frequently have a curious habit of fading over the course of repeated experimentation. Skeptics argue that this is due to the parapsychologists identifying and minimizing potential methodological and statistical flaws over time. However, some parapsychologists have come up with creative ways of explaining away this potential threat, arguing that such decline effects are either an inherent property of psi or that psychic ability really does exist but is inversely related to the level of experimental controls employed in a study (see Kennedy 2003 for a review of this approach).
The decrease in alleged psi often causes some parapsychologists to abandon ship in search of a new procedure, placing them back at square one, ready to repeat history. This is not a new observation. For example, writing over thirty years ago, parapsychologist Joseph Gaither Pratt noted:
One could almost pick a date at random since 1882 and find in the literature that someone somewhere had recently obtained results described in terms implying that others should be able to confirm the findings.... One after another, however, the specific ways of working used in these initially successful psi projects have fallen out of favor and faded from the research scene—except for the latest investigations which, one may reasonably suppose, have not yet had enough time to falter and fade away as others before them have done. (Pratt 1978)
This constant "ship jumping" is one of the defining features of psi research, with new paradigms emerging every decade or so. Take, for example, the different trends in ESP research that have emerged over the years. Initial work, conducted between the early 1930s and late 1950s, primarily involved card guessing experiments in which people were asked to guess the identity of specially printed playing cards carrying one of five simple symbols. By the mid-1960s parapsychologists had realized that such studies were problematic to replicate and so turned their attention to dream telepathy and the possibility of participants predicting the outcome of targets selected by machines. In the mid 1970s and early 1980s, the ganzfeld experiments and remote viewing took over as dominant paradigms. In 1987, a major review of the area by parapsychologists K. Ramakrishna Rao and John Palmer argued that two sets of ESP studies provided the best evidence for the replicability of psi: the ganzfeld experiments and the differential ESP effect (wherein participants apparently score above chance in one condition of an experiment and below chance in another). More recently, parapsychologists have shifted their attention to alleged presentiment effects, wherein participants appear to be responding to stimuli before they are presented. Finally, there are now signs that the next new procedure is likely to adopt a neuropsychological perspective, focusing on EEG measurements or functional MRI scans as people complete psi tasks.
Parapsychologists have tended to adopt a "heads I win, tails you lose" approach to their work, viewing positive results as supportive of the psi hypothesis while ensuring that null results do not count as evidence against it. This involves cherry-picking new procedures from a mass of chance results, varying any allegedly "successful" procedures and then blaming these variations for any lack of replication, searching for pockets of post hoc significance whenever a meta-analysis produces a null result, explaining away decline effects as an inherent property of psi, and finally jumping to the next new promising procedure. This giddy process results in an ambiguous dataset that, just like the classic optical illusion of the old hag and attractive young woman, never contains enough information to allow closure in one direction or the other.
To help the field move forward and rapidly reach closure on the psi question, parapsychologists need to make four important changes in the way they view null findings. First, they should stop trying lots of new procedures and cherry-picking those that seem to work and instead identify one or two that have already yielded the most promising results. Second, rather than varying procedures that appear successful, they should instead have a series of labs carry out strict replications that are both methodologically sound and incorporate the most psi-conducive conditions possible. Third, researchers should avoid the temptation for retrospective meta-analysis by pre-registering the key details involved in each of the studies. And finally, researchers need to stop jumping ship from one experimental procedure to another and instead have the courage to accept the null hypothesis if the selected front-runners don't produce evidence of a significant and replicable effect.
I hope that this process will help consign the psi debate to the history books and parapsychologists will no longer find themselves sitting on the fence arguing the "there is enough evidence to justify further work but not enough to conclude one way or the other" position. Rather than nullify null results, experimenters should be brave enough to give it their best shot and finally discover whether psi actually exists.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- That evil bastard called cancer took Steve Jobs from us too soon. If he is looking down on us from wherever or has come back as a cat or some such, he's likely to die another death. Observing the state Apple (AAPL) is in has got to make him sick.I must qualify my sentiment: I operate under the assumption that, while Apple still dominates near-term, there's something amiss. As much as I have an unabashed love for Apple . . . wait . . . Allow me to stop down for a second . . . In our household, we have a MacBook Pro with Retina Display, three iPhone 5s, two "regular" iPads, one iPad mini, an iPod Shuffle, an iPod Nano and an old school, crazy big pinwheel iPod. I have never spent so much money that I did not have to spend (most of it over the last year) with one company in my life. I use Apple Maps and iTunes daily. I like them both as much, if not more than most. So, yes, I believe in Apple. There's nobody that does much of anything -- save Roku -- better. The selloff in AAPL stock has come much too soon. That said -- despite my adoration and pricey display of consumer loyalty -- I can't just say, Stay strong fellow warrior and buy the dips! because, that's an emotional response and, in investing, unchecked emotion -- as well as blind faith in your leaders . . . or anything -- can get you killed.
Let's just knock it down to what it is. Once again, I will do what few have the courage to do -- poke the elephant in the room. Relatively speaking, Tim Cook has absolutely no idea what he's doing. I say, "relatively," because I do not mean "relative" to standard hacks like me or you (not you!), but relative to Steve Jobs, relative to the way Apple once was. Apple never answered to and didn't take no **** from nobody (nod to another Northeast pop-rock icon Billy Joel). Shareholders. Hedge fund managers. Customers. The competition. The Chinese. But, man, those days are gone. Long gone. And, fair or not, it's on Tim Cook.
Seriously, add this incredibly odd apology to the Chinese, posted in Chinese at the Apple Web site, to the list of B-player head scratchers committed by Cook in his tenure thus far. As TheStreet's Special Projects Editor Carlton Wilkinson noted when he discussed this Monday, Why no English version of the apology? Does Cook think investors don't care about something that helps knock the stock down more than 3%? And why apologize in the first place with a press release that requires another press release for explanation?
Cook succeeded at nothing with his apology. In fact, just like he did during MappleGate, Cook pushed people who would generally look to Apple for answers to a Google ( GOOG) service. TheStreet's Chris Ciaccia had to employ Google Translate to make sense of what Cook said. (I'm only half-joking here).

On April 20, 2011, Baseball commissioner Bud Selig announced that Major League Baseball was taking the drastic step of taking control of the Los Angeles Dodgers. "I have taken this action because of my deep concerns regarding the finances and operations of the Dodgers," he said. However, after Selig rejected a lucrative television deal that stood to infuse the team with much-needed cash, the team filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on June 27, 2011.
Although relatively uncommon, sports franchises do go bankrupt from time to time. Generally, teams go bankrupt after racking up large amounts of debt, making bad investments or when the owners' primary business goes bust. Most of the time, a bankruptcy does not lead to the dissolution of the team, but usually results in a shift in ownership. Of the nine teams that have filed for bankruptcy in the past 40 years (the Pittsburgh Penguins filed twice), six are in the NHL.
So, which major professional teams have gone bankrupt? Click ahead to find out!

One week into Ravens training camp in 2008, coach John Harbaugh pulled aside safety Tom Zbikowski to share a company secret.
Harbaugh confided that if it were up to him, Zbikowski would be anywhere other than the Ravens practice field flailing around like the out-of-shape rookie he was.
"I was 225 pounds with a beer gut, and John told me, 'I really wanted Craig Steltz because he's bigger and more athletic,' '' recalled Zbikowski, the 86th overall selection in the third round of the 2008 NFL draft. Steltz went in the fourth round to the Bears, 34 picks later.
"I knew (Ravens general manager) Ozzie Newsome and (then-defensive coordinator) Rex Ryan wanted me but John didn't, so I was like, 'Point taken, coach, I'll get my (stuff) together,' '' Zbikowski said. "That's why I liked playing for John. He was like me, brutally honest.''
The truth that Zbikowski lost his zeal for football perhaps hurts him less than the loyal fans who followed the former Buffalo Grove (Ill.) high school star to Notre Dame and through a five-year NFL career that ended abruptly in August when the Bears released him. As Zbikowski sipped a beer Friday at his favorite suburban lunch spot, he sounded like a man relieved to be reduced to spectator status when two of his former teams meet Sunday at Soldier Field.
Last spring, the game was circled on Zbikowski's calendar. Now, Chicago's biggest Ravens fan will watch happily on television and root for buddies like Harbaugh and linebacker Terrell Suggs.
"Come on, the Ravens drafted me,'' Zbikowski said, smiling.
As for the Bears, Zbikowski's injured shin that caused him to miss the last five games of 2012 never recovered fully enough for him to make an impression in training camp. So Zbikowski understood getting cut, despite the Bears' problems at safety.
"It was the easiest training camp I've been involved with, schedule-wise, but I couldn't move, so I don't blame them,'' Zbikowski said.
Having seen Zbikowski show uncharacteristic lethargy at training camp, I asked if his heart was in it.
"No, not really,'' he answered. "It hasn't been for awhile. Football got old to me. … I enjoyed my first two years in the NFL because it was a challenge. I was playing with the best. But after awhile you don't care whether you win or lose because you're still getting a paycheck. I enjoyed high school and college much more.''
Unhappier than ever as a Colt despite starting 11 games, Zbikowski drank heavily to dull the ache. He liked to drink and was good at it.
"I'm the only guy who can drink six beers, then spar 10 rounds on the same day,'' said Zbikowski, an accomplished boxer.
Alcohol had become such a part of Zbikowski's routine the night before games that he compared it to a superstition. His ideal mix: four glasses of scotch and four Guinnesses. Of the 64 NFL games Zbikowski participated, he estimated at least 12 were played with a massive hangover.
"Get a little messed up, sneak a girl into your room, feel on top of the world,'' Zbikowski said. "I had some of my best games off of benders — some of my worst too. My two best seasons ever were 2005 (at Notre Dame) and 2009 (in Baltimore) when I was the most out of control drinking, so I thought, hey, maybe I should go back to that.''
But for the first time, Zbikowski felt his nighttime activities affecting his game-day ability.
"I was drinking too much,'' Zbikowski said. "I got fat.''
To lose weight, Zbikowski began taking a diuretic — "A water pill,'' he called it — banned by the NFL that he claims led to a four-game suspension. If Zbikowski had made the Bears, he would have been ineligible until Week 5. Embarrassed, Zbikowski most regretted creating the perception that he'd used a performance-enhancing drug.
"I don't want that label of a guy who took a PED because as much as I'm a hustler, I don't like cheating,'' he said. "I never even thought about that. I don't take protein shakes. I drink coffee, green tea and eat food. That's what I've done my whole life.''
These days, Zbikowski enjoys life more than ever back in his hometown. His family notices.
"I always thought Tommy overachieved and got everything out of everything in life he could, so he's content,'' said Ed Zbikowski, Tom's father.
Tommy Z the notorious partier says he no longer drinks in binges nor relies on painkillers like he often did as an NFL player. He recently stepped back into the ring for the first time in two years, proudly sporting a bruise on his right eyelid. He wants to fight competitively again only if measuring his brain's response produces "some kind of medical value.'' He expects to begin Chicago Fire Department academy training next month.
"I've had an extremely blessed life and I saved three-quarters of my money, so I can do whatever I want and I want to be of service to a community,'' said Zbikowski, who would be a third-generation firefighter. "Firemen show up in scary situations. They're symbols of pride, of faith, of what's good in society. I like to live dangerously.''
A relaxed, mischievous grin covered Zbikowski's face.
"Plus, I'll have 10 times the stories as a fireman I did as a football player,'' he said. "And at least I can tell these to women and children.''
