  • With the Olympics only a month away, athletes cannot risk falling sick and are taking few chances.
  • "You don't really want to go sailing around in pollution and I've never sailed in a place that's more polluted than this," said Australian coach Euan McNicol, a former skiff world champion.
  • The most shocking story is that of Australian sailor Elise Rechichi, who swallowed water when she slipped on a boat ramp during a test event here in 2006. It took her 10 months to recover from severe gastric trauma that had her in and out of hospital.
  • "It's made us all reasonably wary of what's going on,"
  • But for many Olympic sailors it's what they can't see in the water that is their greatest concern.
  • Boats, bulldozers and the military have been deployed to remove the eyesore.
  • On Saturday, officials briefly claimed victory over the algae saying the course had been cleared.
  • But Qu Chun, the 2008 Olympic sailing competition manager said the bloom has not been totally wiped out, estimating that 2-5 percent of the course was still affected, down from nearly a third a week earlier.

    The Stanford Dance Division offers a range of broadly diverse approaches to dance as a performing art, cultural practice, political act and embodiment of ideology and beliefs. All of the dimensions through which one comes to experience dance, from studying a range of dance techniques, choreographing and performing to viewing and critically and historically assessing dance, are represented in the course offerings of the Dance Division.

      this is a good site
  • well, almost. More often than not, the minimum age requirement for skydiving is 18 years old. However, there are some places that allow 16-year olds to participate in the sport.
  • First of all, if this is your first time sky diving, you will be given a lecture about the sport that would last for at least 4 hours.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Aside from that, you will also get to try on the skydiving outfit and other equipment that can weigh as much as 35 pounds.
  • Those who weigh 200 to 230 pounds are very much welcome to sky dive as long as they are in good shape.
  • On the other hand, for those who are between 230 to 250 pounds may also sky dive provided that they in really good shape
  • Note that skydivers freefalling in a group just use their hands to tell each other about their situation. It’s just too noisy to talk!
  • a single jump is only limited to an 80-second freefall time.
  • To avoid injuries when landing, a sky diver must deploy his parachute around 2000 to 2500 feet.
  • The price of skydiving actually varies from one drop zone to another. More often than not, the price of the S/L course ranges from $120 to $150. Then, you also have to pay for the AFF course, which ranges from $250 to $300. And if you are still a beginner sky diver, don’t forget that you also have to pay for the tandem jump (when someone is strapped to you and controls the jump and landing), which is worth $140 up to $200.
  • Let this exhilarating moment be captured and prepare to pay additional $50 to $75.

    Older people often lack social networks and recreational opportunities, and having a cat on their laps can be an immense boost to their health and happiness. Studies show that pets not only foster feelings of love and security but can also help lower a person's blood pressure, heart rate, and stress level. For seniors, these little benefits add up to an impressive advantage. A Canadian study of nearly 1,000 adults age 65 and over found that pet owners were more physically fit and less likely to suffer a decline in health in the course of a year. The trend held up even after researchers adjusted for the fact that pet owners tended to be younger and more active than non owners. Interestingly, cat owners enjoyed the same rewards as dog owners, strong evidence that pets can improve your health even if they aren't constantly begging for walks.

  • Officials have said the algae is the result of a hot spell after heavy rain, but environmentalists said such blooms are largely due to sewage and agricultural pollutant run-off.
  • "It's not clean, but two years ago it was much worse, you would see bags and things floating in. Now you're not seeing bags," she said.
  • Canadian coach Dave Hughes said the water quality has improved a lot, but there are still spots where sailors track through what smell like sewage.

  • "The water's not poison and it won't harm the athletes," he said.
  • He said the stomach problems experienced by athletes following previous races in Qingdao could be caused by a variety of factors, such as not being used to Chinese food.
  • The government has invested heavily to clean up Qingdao's water, he said, with new facilities moving sewage away from the coast and into the deep sea.
  • "Now you can see the bottom of the marina, before I couldn't see it," Qu said.

  • Even small doses provoked large discharges of coral mucous -- a clear sign of environmental stress -- within 18 to 48 hours. Within 96 hours complete bleaching of corals had occurred.
  • Pesticides, hydrocarbons and other contaminants have also been found to induce algae or coral to release viruses, hastening the bleaching process.
  • An estimated 4,000 to 6,000 tons of sunscreen are released annually in reef areas, with 25 percent of the sunscreen ingredients on skin released into water over the course of a 20-minute submersion.

      ... true, but how could a "savage"know of anything like this? of course he said "the great mass of people" which implies that he's... better than the average person.... isn't acknowledging your knowledge of psychology , and UNDERSTANDING of it basically being conceited? (does that mean I am?)

  • Yes, Yahoo is losing share to Google. Yes, Yahoo is barely growing. Yes, it's a tired argument that Yahoo is one of the strongest brands in the media world. Yes, this argument for owning its stock hasn't worked in a long time.

      yahoo is loosing shares to Google
  • It's cheap. There's always that. Morgan Stanley's Mary Meeker figures that given the value of Yahoo's cash and its publicly traded Asian assets (even taking into account the difficulty in selling stakes in other companies), investors value Yahoo's core business at just $6 per share, or eight times Wall Street's estimates of 2009 profits. That's an extraordinarily low multiple for any company with the opportunities in front of it that Yahoo has. Yahoo's management thought Yahoo was cheap at $30, of course. Today, investors would do quite nicely for a fraction of that amount.

  • Loosely speaking, behaviorism is an attitude. Strictly speaking, behaviorism is a doctrine
  • claims that psychology should concern itself with the behavior of organisms
  • Methodological behaviorism is a normative theory about the scientific conduct of psychology
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • purports to explain human and animal behavior in terms of external physical stimuli, responses, learning histories, and (for certain types of behavior) reinforcements
  • says that the very idea of a mental state or condition is the idea of a behavioral disposition or family of behavioral tendencies.
  • Analytical or logical behaviorism is a theory within philosophy about the meaning or semantics of mental terms or concepts
  • Psychological behaviorism is a research program within psychology.
  • Psychology is the science of behavior. Psychology is not the science of mind. Behavior can be described and explained without making reference to mental events or to internal psychological processes. The sources of behavior are external (in the environment), not internal (in the mind). In the course of theory development in psychology, if, somehow, mental terms or concepts are deployed in describing or explaining behavior, then either (a) these terms or concepts should be eliminated and replaced by behavioral terms or (b) they can and should be translated or paraphrased into behavioral concepts.
