What's wrong with zero-tolerance? Priests and the Hypocrisy of Zero
Tolerance
The harm of a zero-tolerance policy is that it allows an institution to
declare it has dealt with a problem. Faced with evidence of wrongdoing,
Americans are quick to resort to seemingly easy, absolutist policies.
Crime should of course be punished, the most serious crimes the most
severely. But zero tolerance is not about crime; it is a way to make
ourselves feel that we have done the right thing while actually allowing
wrong things to continue unimpeded. It is the lazy person's response to
serious social problems. 4/27/02

Why Stress May Cause Internet Addiction? Why Stress May Cause Internet
Addiction?
Experts estimate that only about 2% to 3% of all Web users fall into the
category of "Internet addicts"--individuals who typically neglect family
and friends, lie about how much time they spend online, and mold their
daily lives to fit their Internet use. The researchers found no
differences between men and women when it came to the percentage of
individuals showing signs of problematic Internet use, or their underlying
psychology. 8/26/02

Sex Make You Run Faster? Yes--Women, No--Men
Does Sex Makes You Run Faster? Yes--Women, No--Men
Women sprinters who have sex before competing generally perform better but
men should avoid amorous exploits before taking to the track. Scientific
evidence says women who have sex shortly before competing run better. It
boosts performance. With women the testosterone levels rise when they have
sex. But, unfortunately, male testosterone levels fall after orgasm. And
their muscles are less able to contract. 8/12/02
• Why Do
Women Have Better Memories? Why Do Women Have Better Memories?
The reason wives are better at remembering emotional issues than husbands

increased alertness, both subjectively and in the performance measures,
but not with the 30-minute nap," Lack said. He noted that after a
30-minute nap, participants were actually groggy for up to half an hour as
a result of "sleep inertia," which occurs after longer sleeping periods.

• Why low carbohydrate
high fat diet may be best? Why low carbohydrate high fat diet may be
best?
Now a small but growing minority of establishment researchers
have come to take seriously what the low-carb-diet doctors have been
saying all along. Walter Willett, chairman of the department of nutrition
at the Harvard School of Public Health, may be the most visible proponent
of testing this heretic hypothesis. Willett is the de facto spokesman of
the longest-running, most comprehensive diet and health studies ever
performed, which have already cost upward of $100 million and include data
on nearly 300,000 individuals. Those data, says Willett, clearly
contradict the low-fat-is-good-health message ''and the idea that all fat
is bad for you; the exclusive focus on adverse effects of fat may have
contributed to the obesity epidemic.''

• Why Can Drinking Too
Much Water Kill You? Why Can Drinking Too Much Water Kill You?
Drinking too much water is dangerous because the body cannot excrete that
much fluid. Excess water then goes to the bowel, which pulls salt into it
from the body, diluting the concentration of salt in the tissues. Changing
the concentration of salt, in turn, causes a shifting of fluids within the
body, which can then induce a swelling in the brain. The swollen organ
will then press against the bones of the skull, and become damaged. 7/2/02

according to new research. 7/1/02

more than a fourfold risk of dying within the next 25 years. 5/30/02

• How steaks are "made" - A
timeline and dollarline to post-obituary How steaks are "made" - A
timeline and dollarline to post-obituary. I paid $598 for No. 534 in
November; his living expenses since then come to $61 on the ranch and $258
for 160 days at the feedlot (including implant), for a total investment of
$917, leaving a profit of $27. It's a razor-thin margin, and it could
easily vanish should the price of corn rise or No. 534 fail to make the
predicted weight or grade -- say, if he gets sick and goes off his feed.
Without the corn, without the antibiotics, without the hormone implant, my
brief career as a cattleman would end in failure. 3/30/02
