CERN scientists discover particle traveling faster than the speed of light, Einstein theory threatened

It ain't over till the LHC says so, which is why researchers at CERN are opening up their most recent OPERA experiment to the scientific community before officially releasing its findings. Why, you ask? Because the experiment could shatter one of the fundamentals of physics -- Einstein's theory of special relativity, which says nothing with mass can accelerate faster than the speed of light. While studying neutrino oscillations -- where particles shift from one type of subatomic particle (muon-neutrinos) to another (tau-neutrinos) -- scientists clocked a beam of muon-neutrinos outpacing the aforesaid ray of light by 60 nanoseconds. Calling the result "crazy," lead scientist Antonio Ereditato published the findings online, hoping to attract the attention of others who might shed some light on what it all means. We're not expecting a conclusive answer any time soon, but budding whiz-kids can get educated in the links below.

While there really are experts out there, there are so many who offer false hopes to newbies and tell them getting rich is as easy as pie. But they conveniently leave out the part about all the hard work that?s involved to be successful. You?ll never see them talking about all the sacrifice and work and effort involved. Getting on 100 mailing lists is easy, reading forever is also easy. But the genuine secret to online success is hard work and effort, and taking real action seems to be tough for many. You absolutely can be hugely successful with online business, no doubt. But do not forget to take your perseverance and dedication with you. Expect to fail before you succeed, and you may fail many times. Yet? if you keep working your plan and never stop working it can bring nice surprises. Be careful and avoid common avoidable mistakes.

Now we?ll look at some common beginner mistakes and the causes for them.

If you are seeking for very best specials and testimonials on this matter, than please go to Genesis Theme WordPress. Failing to build a list of targeted subscribers is something a lot of internet marketers do. Having an online business for years without building a list of subscribers and prospects is not building a business for long-term success. Your first order of business should build an email list. Why? You?ll be able to make more sale on the front and back end, and you?ll have the ability to make repeat sales to them.

There is also the problem many beginners have of getting on dozens of different email lists, all run by internet marketing experts or gurus, each with his own theories and methods. This just gets them overwhelmed and confused. Then you end up with an inbox filled to capacity, with thousands of great plans and systems for making money. Everything?s great, but how can you focus and take action when you?re bombarded with so much information?

The way to remedy this is to cut back on the number of subscriptions you get; choose only the ones that you find especially helpful or inspiring. Make the decision to start taking action, and reduce the amount of information you keep gathering. If you want to get more confident about your business, take more action. You will fail at times, but if you keep trying you will eventually succeed.

In order to find the success I?m sure you deserve, it?s possible that you?ll need to ?unlearn? some of the myths you already have ingrained within your mind. Just give it a shot at putting into practice some of the less complex strategies you may know. And you never know, they may cause profits to happen.

Pseudoscience of single-sex schooling examined

Thursday, September 22, 2011

While many parents chose to put their children in single-sex schools and anecdotal evidence may show these schools perform excellently, there is no well-designed research that demonstrates that these schools improve student's academic performance. There is, however, evidence that sex segregation increases gender stereotyping among children and teachers and legitimizes institutional sexism.

These findings are the focus of a new article that examines "The Pseudoscience of Single-Sex Schooling," published in the Sept. 23, 2011, issue of the journal Science. Authored by researchers in ASU's School of Social and Family Dynamics and social scientists from other universities, the article presents information for parents to consider when they are choosing an educational setting for their children.

Teaching boys and girls separately has become increasingly popular during recent years with at least 500 public school single-sex classrooms currently in the United States.

"Though public sentiment may have strengthened in support of such settings for improving the learning environment and outcomes for both boys and girls, the science is just not there to support this," said Richard Fabes, an author of the Science article and director of the School of Social and Family Dynamics in ASU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Fabes and the other co-authors cite evidence to the contrary, including a U.S. Department of Education review comparing single-sex and coeducational outcomes, which concluded that results of both are equal. Similar large-scale reviews in Great Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand found little overall difference between single-sex and mixed-sex academic outcomes.

In addition, claims that boys and girls learn differently is not supported by brain research since neuroscientists have found few sex differences in children's brains beyond the larger volume of boys' brains and the earlier completion of girls' brain growth, neither of which is known to relate to learning, the article states. Differences among the sexes can grow in sex-segregated environments, making positive interactions between boys and girls constrained, the social scientists write. "Positive and cooperative interaction with members of other groups is an effective method for improving intergroup relationships," according to the authors. There is evidence, however, that sex segregation increases gender divisions among children, according to the article. "Separating boys and girls in public school classrooms makes gender very salient, and this salience reinforces stereotypes and sexism," Fabes said.

The social scientists noted that research shows that children exposed to environments where individuals are labeled and segregated along some characteristic - gender, eye color, or randomly assigned t-shirt groups - infer that the groups differ in important ways and develop biases in their individual groups. "Is it ever good to segregate on the basis of race, income or age? I think the answer is no," Fabes said. "There is no good evidence that it is ever a good time to separate and segregate. Any form of segregation undermines rather than promotes equality."

Palestinians confident on U.N. vote, but veto looms (Reuters)

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) ? The Palestinian foreign minister said on Tuesday he was confident the U.N. Security Council would vote to recognize Palestinian statehood and urged the United States to reconsider its veto threat, but the White House repeated its determination to block the move.

Diplomats still hope to avert the political crisis looming over this year's meeting of the U.N. General Assembly, but Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki said he thought at least nine of the 15 members of the Security Council would endorse the Palestinian move.

"We're working toward it and I think we'll manage it," Malki told reporters.

"We hope the United States will revise its position and be on the side of the majority of nations or countries who want to support the Palestinian right to have self determination and independence," Malki said.

A veto by the United States, one of the five permanent members of the council and a firm ally of Israel, would still block approval even if most other members agree.

But securing the nine votes necessary to claim a Security Council majority would allow the Palestinians to highlight the U.S. veto as an obstacle, increasing the diplomatic risks for Washington during a period of unprecedented political turmoil in the Middle East.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Tuesday the dispute between Israel and the Palestinians must be resolved or risk poisoning the "Arab Spring" evolution to democracy.

NO PROGRESS YET

President Barack Obama is due to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday on the sidelines of the General Assembly meeting.

White House officials say Obama has no meeting planned with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who has vowed to hand in the statehood application on Friday, but note that the schedule may still change.

Highlighting the political minefield Obama faces on the issue, Republican presidential challenger Rick Perry on Tuesday blasted the administration over its Middle East policy, saying U.S. peace efforts "encouraged the Palestinians to shun direct talks.

In the West Bank, clashes broke out as angry Jewish settlers protested the Palestinian plans -- another sign of growing tensions in the territory that some fear could spin dangerously out of control.

Senior diplomats from the United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations -- the Quartet of Middle East mediators -- are meeting throughout the week in hopes of a last-minute breakthrough.

The Quartet has for months been trying to put together guidelines for future peace talks, so far without result. British Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Tuesday there had been no progress.

Even if the Palestinians file their Security Council application on Friday, an immediate vote is unlikely -- which could allow more time for diplomacy aimed at restarting peace talks, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said.

"There's a procedure for dealing with such requests and it can take a few days or weeks more, which means there is room for other initiatives," Juppe told Europe 1 radio.

"We hope to find a way of convincing all involved to get back around the negotiating table, and in a serious fashion."

IMPASSE OVER TALKS

Israel has called for renewed direct talks with the Palestinians and says the U.N. move is aimed at de-legitimizing the Jewish state. The Palestinians say their U.N. bid will open the door to new peace talks among two equal sovereign states.

Direct talks between Israel and the Palestinians collapsed a year ago after Israel refused to extend a moratorium on new settlements in areas the Palestinians want for a future state.

Israel has occupied the West Bank and the Gaza Strip since the 1967 war, and the two sides are divided on borders, the status of Jerusalem, the future of Palestinian refugees and whether Israel should be acknowledged as a Jewish state.

The Palestinians want the West Bank and the Gaza Strip for their future state, with East Jerusalem as their capital.

The White House on Tuesday repeated its intention to torpedo any Palestinian move at the Security Council, saying Obama would use his speech to the General Assembly on Wednesday to lay out his view that Palestinian statehood can only be achieved through direct negotiations with Israel.

"We will oppose a Palestinian move to have a state through the Security Council and if need be would veto that effort," White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters. "That continues to be the state of play."

The Palestinians may also ask the U.N. General Assembly to upgrade them from an "entity" to a "non-member state" -- a step they say would be backed by at least 126 of the assembly's 193 members and give further legitimacy to their claim.

The Palestinian decision to go to the United Nations has raised fears of new Arab anger against the United States, turning back the Obama administration's effort to harness the "Arab Spring" uprisings to forge a new set of relationships.

"A U.S. veto ... will be seen by the region as once again a double-standard policy of selectively standing by certain people in the region yearning for freedom, but not others," said Marwan Muasher, a former Jordanian foreign minister and now vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment.

Netanyahu's government is also navigating uncertainly through the new political landscape, and has seen tensions rise both with the Palestinians and with neighbors such as Egypt and Turkey.

The Palestinians, for their part, could see financing for their struggling government drop if donors such as the United States withhold funds, as some U.S. lawmakers have proposed.

Ex-wrestling exec launches 2nd Senate bid in Conn. (AP)

SOUTHINGTON, Conn. ? Former wrestling executive Linda McMahon announced Tuesday she is making a second run for a Connecticut U.S. Senate seat, saying the nation's economy has not improved since her 2010 campaign and she believes Washington needs her business experience.

"We still have high employment. We still have higher deficits. Our debt is clearly growing. So the issues that drove me to get into the campaign the first time are really the driving force again in this campaign," McMahon told The Associated Press in an interview, following her announcement at a Southington business that manufactures custom-built coil processing machines.

"I believe we need people with business experience," she said. "We didn't accomplish that the last time around."

This time, the Republican is hoping to fill the seat being vacated by the retiring Sen. Joe Lieberman, an independent. While her message of being "a job creator" is the same as in 2010, when she spent about $50 million of her own money on the race, McMahon said there will be some changes to her campaign strategy. For example, she said she plans to have "a robust fundraising component" this time.

McMahon, 62, acknowledged, however, that she also plans to spend her own money, saying she's "willing to invest to serve." She would not elaborate on how much.

McMahon received some criticism for her spending during the 2010 race, when she ran against Democratic Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. While she inundated voters with television ads and political mailings, Blumenthal was able to win the seat ? formerly held by Democratic Sen. Christopher Dodd, who retired ? by more than 10 percentage points.

Chris Healy, the former state Republican Party chairman, said he believes McMahon's message of building a successful company with her husband, Vince McMahon, will resonate with voters this time around.

"People are scared, really frightened about their futures, whether it's health care, whether it's education, whether it's just holding onto the job they have," he said. "So, Linda has built an immense economic record in the private sector, she's been a very generous person in her private life."

State Sen. Joe Markley, a Southington Republican backed by tea party activists, said he didn't initially support McMahon in 2010 but got to know her and was impressed. He said he believes once the voters become better acquainted with her, they'll be willing to give her a second chance.

"I'm glad she's doing it again," he said. "I think the challenge of the campaign is going to be to try to get her out and to meet as many people as possible and to have a campaign that communicates who she actually is."

As they did last year, Democrats criticized McMahon's ties to WWE and what they said was her attempt to buy the Senate seat.

"Even last year, when voters everywhere were electing Republicans, Connecticut voters said they didn't need a greedy CEO like McMahon who made her fortune by putting her own profits before the health and safety of her workers and marketing sex and violence to children," Matt Canter, spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said in a statement. "Nothing has changed about McMahon since voters resoundingly rejected her candidacy last year and she shouldn't be surprised when it happens again this time around."

As in 2010, McMahon is facing the prospect of a Republican primary. Former U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays is expected to formally announce his candidacy early next month. Hartford attorney Brian K. Hill and Vernon Mayor Jason McCoy have already jumped in the race for the GOP nomination. Former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker has also been contemplating a run.

On the Democratic side, U.S. Rep. Christopher Murphy, former Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz and state Rep. William Tong have already begun their campaigns for their party's nomination next year.
