Thinking About God Calms Believers, Stresses Atheists

Thinking about God can help relieve anxiety associated with making mistakes.

…Interestingly, atheists reacted differently. When they were
unconsciously primed with God-related ideas, their ACC increased its
activity. The researchers suggest that for religious people, thinking
about God may provide a way of ordering the world and explaining
apparently random events and thus reduce their feelings of distress….

…t teach an old dog new tricks.
In all seriousness, even after seemingly puking up his first dog, Shaq seems to be holding his own early on until Joey decides to show off his hot dog eating prowess mid-way through the footage. Unfortunately because no one wanted to reveal the ending, we can pretty much make the assumption that the currently unemployed…

HIROSHIMA, Japan The site of the world’s first atomic attack swarmed with tens of thousands of people Thursday as Hiroshima prepared for a memorial that will for the first time have representatives from the United States and other major nuclear powers.Washington’s decision to attend the 65th anniversary event on Friday has been welcomed by Japan’s government, but has generated complex feelings among some Japanese who see the bombing as unjustified and want the United States to apologize.”Americans think that the bombing was reasonable because it speeded up the end of the war. They try to see it in a positive way,” Naomi Sawa, a 69-year-old former teacher, said after paying her respects to the dead. “But we were devastated.”About 140,000 people were killed or died within months when an American B-29 bombed Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945. Three days later, about 80,000 people died after the United States…

What Not to Wear in a Courtroom

Apparently, t-shirts that say “Who the Fuck is Kanye West” is on that list.

…(That case was about a comparatively benign jeans and shirt ensemble a lawyer wore to court). And while Miss. Eneorj was in the hotspot as an alternate juror (not a party to the case or a lawyer), it the logic of the Bank case would seem to apply to all attendees at courtroom proceedings.
Going further, Bank also hit on what it means for restrictions to be viewpoint neutral. Under Bank, those that are discriminatory against a particular viewpoint will not fly. But with Miss. Eneorj, that is definitely not the case. The judge did not permit “Who the f*** is Stephen Colbert?” shirts and ban this young…

I was weaning my daughter Valentina, but I still had a lot of milk that I was pumping, so I breast-fed the baby. You should have seen his eyes.

TOKYO The US military is using manga to teach a new generation in Japan about the importance of their half-century security alliance in a new comic book series.The story features an American boy called Usa-kun — a word play on USA and “usagi”, Japanese for rabbit — who wears a hooded jacket with bunny ears and befriends a Japanese girl, Anzu Arai.In the first issue of “Our Alliance — A Lasting Partnership”, to be published online Wednesday, the boy tells Anzu that he has come to defend her home because they are “important friends”.The United States is publishing the Japanese-language comic as both nations mark the 50th anniversary of their security treaty, and two days before the 65th anniversary of the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima.US-Japan ties have been strained for the past year as a new centre-left government in Japan for months publicly toyed with the idea of moving a controversial US airbase off the southern…

Boston Celtics Close to Signing Shaquille O’Neal

According to multiple sources it looks like the Boston Celtics are on the verge of signing Shaquille O’Neal to a contract for next season. Kicker is they want him to come off the bench…

…from the field? Therefore to Shaq’s credit he still would be justified in starting for the Celtics over Jermaine O’Neal in the absence of Kendrick Perkins during his recovery.
Celtics fans will likely be thinking ‘WTF?!’ when they hear the news that Shaq may be signing with their team. But on sober second thought they will realize that if Shaq does agree to a limited role in the regular season, it could mean big things for them come playoff time. The Celtics will need all the big bodies they can get to deal with the Dwight Howard’s, Chris Bosh’s, and with a little luck Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum’s of the league.
The Celtics are also likely thinking about the Offense/Defense possibilities of having two O’Neals on their roster. Jermaine O’Neal may be limited offensively due to his knee, but he’s still a solid shot blocker and defensive specialist as he’s proven the last few years with the Heat and Raptors. And what better way to complement that defense than to have the Big Diesel come off the bench and attack…

WATCH VIDEO: Cutting-edge robots, recently unveiled by NASA and General Motors, will work next to humans on Earth and in space.

Robonaut 2 will be the first humanoid robot in space, taking up residence at the International Space Station once it is delivered by the shuttle Discovery in November. The goal is to build a robot that can help astronauts with their daily tasks, especially those that are repetitive or especially dangerous. A humanoid robot will not require a redesign of interfaces and tools that are already in place for the space station’s carbon-based hominid…
