How media covered Katrina aftermath affects response

New research shows that black and white Americans responded differently when exposed to a video presentation that described Hurricane Katrina and then blamed the botched relief efforts on one of two causes: either government incompetence or racism, because the majority of Katrina's victims were black........

To make maths teaching more rigorous and inspiring

An attempt to re-energise mathematics teaching in Europe is being made in a new project examining a range of factors thought to influence achievement. Mathematics teaching is as vital as ever both in support of key fields such as life sciences, alternative energy development, or information technology, and also through its unique ability to develop widely applicable problem solving skills. It should be highly relevant not just for the elite few but for all people in education........

Teens making poor choices when it comes to riding in vehicles

Injury prevention experts have long known that teens are less likely than other motorists to wear seat belts while driving. Now, scientists from the Meharry-State Farm Alliance at Meharry Medical College have discovered lack of seat belt use by teen passengers may be an even bigger problem. In the first ever direct comparison of the differences between driver and passenger seat belt use for a nationally representative teen population, the Meharry scientists observed that 59% of teens always buckled up in the driver seat but only 42% always wore seat belts as passengers. Even more sobering, only 38% of all teens reported always buckling up as both drivers and passengers........

Americans need to save paycheck-to-paycheck

Americans are better at saving money when they set goals in the near future -- such as next month -- rather than the more distant future, as per a new study by scientists at Rice University and Old Dominion University.

Right Whale Listening Network

Right Whales are an endangered species, characterized by a large head, whalebone plates in the mouth, and absence of a dorsal fin. They were so named by whalers, who for centuries considered them ''the right whales'' to hunt, because they float when killed and because they yield enormous quantities of oil and of baleen.

Now, endangered North Atlantic right whales are safer along the coast of Massachusetts thanks to a new system of smart buoys. The buoys recognize the distinctive call of the whales and route the information to a public website and a marine warning system, giving ships .........

Corporations Can Profit From Being Environmentally Friendly

Though a number of policymakers have argued that environmental regulations can negatively impact an organization's bottom line, a new study by George Mason University researcher Nicole Darnall shows that companies that develop green production processes can not only offset the costs of regulations, but can also reap further benefits........

Gear up before revving up ATVs

Fourteen-year old Cristian Avina knows all too well the devastating injuries all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) can cause. Four months ago, Cristian and his sister, Rociel, hopped on an ATV for a little innocent fun in the desert near their home. Cristian was riding tandem with his sister when a bird flew into them causing him to lose control. The ATV crashed, sending Cristian and Rociel flyingneither was wearing a helmet. Cristian suffered serious head injuries, including an amputated ear........

Good News about $4 Gas? Fewer Traffic Deaths

As unwelcome as they are, higher gasoline prices do come with a plus side - fewer deaths from car accidents, says a researcher at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). An analysis of yearly vehicle deaths in comparison to gas prices found death rates drop significantly as people slow down and drive less. If gas remains at $4 a gallon or higher for a year or more, traffic deaths could drop by more than 1,000 per month nationwide, said Michael Morrisey, Ph.D., director of UAB's Lister Hill Center for Health Policy and a co-author on the new findings........

Stepping up to the challenge: A tall order

Researchers have recently become interested in the biomechanics of a very unusual activity: skyscraper run-ups. Competitors in this extreme sport ascend the steps inside the world's tallest buildings, the winners often scaling thousands of steps in just a few minutes. Impressive, yes, but why should these people be of interest to physiologists and biomechanists? Professor Alberto Minetti, from the University of Milan, pioneered the study after prior work on walking and running at different gradients. His research has gone on to shed light on the metabolic profile of athletes, as well as having a potential impact on studies of ageing. He will be presenting his results on Wednesday 9th July at the Society for Experimental Biology's Annual Meeting in Marseille [Session A2]........

Forgotten Medical Cures

A home remedy is a treatment to cure a disease or ailment that employs certain spices, vegetables, or other common items from the kitchen. Home remedies may or may not have actual medicinal properties that serve to treat or cure the disease or ailment in question, as they are typically passed along by laypersons.

A significant number, however, have been demonstrated to effectively treat ailments such as sprains, minor lacerations, headaches, fevers, and even the common cold.

Here''s a compilation of home remedies and .........

Perception of hole size influenced by performance

Golfers who play well are more likely to see the hole as larger than their poor-playing counterparts, as per a Purdue University researcher. "Golfers have said that when they play well the hole looks as big as a bucket or basketball hoop, and when they do not play well they've been quoted as saying the hole looks like a dime or the inside of a donut," said Jessica K. Witt, an assistant professor of psychological sciences who studies perception in athletes. "What athletes say about how they see the hole and how well they play is true. We found golfers who play better judge the hole to be bigger than golfers who did not play as well........
