| | myLot Discussions| Men want hot women, study confirms | | Science is confirming what most women know: When given the choice for a mate, men go for good looks.In the dating game, men know what they want.And guys won't be surprised to learn that women are much choosier about partners than they are."Just because people say they're looking for a particular set of characteristics in a mate, someone likethemselves,
doesn't mean that is what they'll end up choosing," Peter M. Todd, of the cognitive science program at Indiana University, Bloomington, said in a telephone interview.Researchers led by Todd report that in Tuesday's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that their study found humans were similar to most other mammals, "following Darwin's principle of choosy females and competitive males, even if humans say something
different."Their study involved 26 men and 20 women in Munich, Germany.Participants ranged in age from 26 to their early 40s and took part in "speed dating," short meetings of three to seven minutes in which people chat, then move on to meet another dater. Afterward, participants check off the
people they'd like to meet again, and... | |

A page from the Bombardier's Information File (BIF) that describes the components and controls of the Norden bombsight. The Norden bombsight was a highly sophisticated optical/mechanical analog computer used by the United States Army Air Force during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War to aid the pilot of a bomber aircraft in dropping bombs accurately.An analog computer is a form of computer that uses electrical or mechanical phenomena to model the problem being solved, or more generally by using one kind of physical quantity to represent another. Modeling a real physical system in a computer is called simulation.

| | Indiana Central College/University...Univ. Of Ind'p'l's...UINDY Connections!?! | | In September of 1971, I began my freshman year at what was then called Indiana Central College.By the time I graduated in 1976, it had been promoted to Indiana Central University.Because we were often confused with Indiana University by those who weren't that familiar with Indiana and its institutes of higher learning, it was decided, in the middle 1980s to change the name of our school to University of Indianapolis (U of I, for short).We're still University of Indianapolis but now are known by a shorter name: UINDYNo matter which name you use, it describes a great school with wonderful people learning, teaching, and, otherwise, being a part of the campus.My question?Several...First off, my time as a student was from 1971 to 1976.Are there any people here who were students, faculty, employees, and/or family/friends of those who were during this time in the school's history? Drop by and visit this thread so that we can share memories!People who were a part of ICC/ICU/U of I/UINDY during any other part of our school's history--and this includes students who haven't graduated yet and others who didn't hang around long enough to get a degree--please... | |
| | Nonsmokers Take Heart!!!!!!! | | Studies have shown that when towns ban smoking in public places, the number of heart attacks drops significantly. Now research from Indiana University pinpoints that it's nonsmokers who benefit first. In the 22 months after Indiana's Monroe Country outlawed smoking in restaurants, workplaces, and stores, hospital admissions for heart attack fell a whopping 70 percent- but only among nonsmokers. Admissions stayed the same for smokers. A halt on lighting up in public helps nonsmokers most quickly, says lead researcher Dong-Chul Seo, Ph.D., because "within 30 minutes of exposure to second hand smoke, blood becomes stickier and more prone to clotting. Plus, the level of carbon monoxide also rises, so heart cells getless oxygen."But Seo expects that smokers would see a payoff" as they quit or cut down." If you're a smoker who'd like to kick the habbit, look for a program with in-depth counseling. That, plus a supply of nicotine-replacement patches, gum or lozenges, almost doubled smokers' quit rates versus only brief counseling with nicotine replacements, reports study from Kaiser Permanente's Center for HEalth Research. | |
| | Do you think the subsidized education is of poorer quality? | | I have two degrees from Indiana University, in the USA. Indiana University is a subsidized university, in other words, it is a state university, not a private or church school.
I am pleased that I attended IU and have two degrees from there. I did not have to put up with private school traditions or church school dogma to get my education. I could choose what I wanted to take. Of course, I had some required courses that I will never use. Still, I don't resent that too much.
Subsidized or public education is much cheaper than private or church schools. I suspect that there is more academic honesty in public schools, too.
Did you attend a private or church college? If so, how do you feel about it? | |

| | Knowing Stuff | | Knowing stuff.That’s what becomes important to most men my age when the realization hits that we can no longer run faster or jump higher, and that anyone in America under the age of 40 has no clue what PF Flyers are. PF Flyers, that’s what helped us run faster and jump higher though if we’re being honest here, I could never run very fast or jump very high.Then there were Red Ball Jets, and Keds, and then of course the old standard, your basic Chuck Taylors, the Converse All Star high tops. These were what we called sneakers before the age of Nike, Adidas, Reebok and Air Jordans, and they didn’t cost as much as most places charge for rent either. Coolness of shoe was judged by a little rubber logo smaller than a postage stamp glued to the heel of your shoe. There were no pumps back then, no gel in the soles, no zippers, or aerodynamic design, though I still have trouble seeing how an aerodynamically designed shoe could make it possible for me to slam dunk. Give me my Chuck Taylors and a stepladder and I’ll show you a thunder dunk to beat all thunder dunks.I bet half the people in America under the age of forty have no idea what a thunder dunk is either, and... | |
| | 'Medical myths' exposed as untrue ( you must see this!) | | THE SEVEN MEDICAL BELIEFS
1. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day
2. We use only 10% of our brains
3. Hair and fingernails continue to grow after death
4. Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight
5. Shaving causes hair to grow back faster or coarser
6. Mobile phones are dangerous in hospitals
7. Eating turkey makes people especially drowsySome claim drinking eight glasses of water a day leads to good health, while reading in dim light damages eyesight.
Others believe we only use 10% of our brains or that shaving legs causes hair to grow back thicker.But a review of evidence by US researchers surrounding seven commonly-hold beliefs suggests they are actually "medical myths".Some are utterly untrue, while others have no evidential proof, the British Medical Journal reports.Researchers from the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis hunted medical literature for evidence on each claim.They found no evidence supporting the need to drink eight glasses of water a day.Medical mythsIn fact, studies suggest that adequate fluid intake is often met by drinking juice, milk, and even caffeine-rich tea and coffee.Data also suggests... | |
