Men do have trouble hearing women, scientists find Sat Aug 6, 7:29 PM ET ===<begin quote>=== Men who are accused of never listening by women now have an excuse -- women's voices are more difficult for men to listen to than other men's, a report said. The Daily Mail, quoting findings published in the specialist magazine NeuroImage, said researchers at Sheffield university in
northern Men deciphered female voices using the auditory part of the brain that processes music, while male voices engaged a simpler mechanism, it said. The Mail quoted researcher Michael Hunter as saying, "The female voice is actually more complex than the male voice, due to differences in the size and shape of the vocal cords and larynx between men and women, and also due to women having greater natural 'melody' in their voices. "This causes a more complex range of sound frequencies than in a male voice." The findings may help explain why people suffering hallucinations usually hear male voices, the report added, as the brain may find it much harder to conjure up a false female voice accurately than a false male voice. ===<end quote>=== So now we have a scientific reason for not hearing our
better half. While I am sure the story will be met with derision in my house,
your mileage may vary. So, I guess when the Good Brotehr at |

She had three goals as a freshman and a goal and an assist as a sophomore. She failed to score last year. ``My role has changed with the team over the years,'' the 5-foot-10 midfielder said. ``My responsibilities have turned to the defensive side of the field. But we didn't do much scoring last season and hopefully, we'll push up the ball a little more this season and I can get involved a little more with the offense.'' Wright has been impressed with the play of Carr since she took over the head coaching job. ``Ann is a good soccer player but she's also a tremendous person and a pleasure to coach,'' Wright said. ``She's very solid on defense and I feel that's where her game has grown the most. She's not a goal scorer, but does a good job as a playmaker. She's very loyal to our program.'' When Wright took over the head coaching job, the players soon found out that they better get in shape. ``Coach is big on fitness and that was a huge adjustment for a lot of the players,'' Carr said. ``Some of the players came on board, but we lost a few players. We had to take it up a step. But it's great and I couldn't be happier about playing for this team.'' Carr was a four-year soccer player at ``The Big Ten and the Atlantic Coast Conference are the premier college conferences in the country,'' she said. Despite the 2-8 record, Carr feels that ``We were so much better than our record,'' she said. ``We

The Defending the NCAA against an antitrust lawsuit brought by
the NIT, attorney Gregory Curt ner showed jurors a June 2000 letter from
Wagner athletic director Walter Hameline to Thomas Scanlan, president of Wagner and "It is imperative that (the NIT) select as many teams as possible from the seven or eight top conferences, since it is those 'name' teams, and those alone, which give the event whatever credibility it has," the memo said. "The continuation of the policy is absolutely essential to the MIBA to sustain its relationship with ESPN." At issue in the case is the legality of the NCAA's rule requiring teams to play in its postseason competition, and no other, if they're invited. Attorneys from both sides have declined public comment on the case, including how ESPN's role is relevant. But it might have been an attempt by the NCAA to diminish the NIT in the eyes of the jury as merely a made-for-TV event. The NCAA Tournament includes the champion from all Division I conferences. Curtner read from the NIT's contract with ESPN, which was extended in 2000: "(The NIT) and ESPN shall jointly select the teams and create the brackets." Fordham athletic director Frank McLaughlin, on the witness stand, denied that ESPN has undue influence. "ESPN might say, ' In unrelated testimony supporting the NIT's case, jurors
watched "Maybe a team knows that they're going to get
absolutely smashed in the NCAA Tournament and would rather go to the NIT and
maybe get to "If there was a third tournament and my team was invited to play, we would play. . . . To turn down an opportunity to participate and continue to play -- it angers me that a coach would do that." Calipari said the money from the NCAA's $6.2 billion, 11-year contract with CBS for television and marketing rights to the tournament isn't always used in the best interests of the players. "We make rules based on money," Calipari said. "They make $6 billion, and everything's based on money. We should have freshman ineligibility. But it costs money, so it's not even discussed. Kids should have five years (of eligibility) instead of four." The week-old trial is expected to last a month. Call Star reporter Mark Alesia at (317) 444-6039. LOAD-DATE: August 7, 2005 |

The Journal News ( New leader unlikely to champion reform, observers say Some international observers were surprised when the

promoting the redistribution of wealth and nationalist politics. Some
observers say he appealed to "There is no doubt in my mind that there was cheating," said Cortlandt resident Bruce Siahpoosha, noting that Ahmadinejad was not well-known before the election. As an Iranian native, Siahpoosha voted in the run-off
election at polls that were set up in Usually, he does not vote in Iranian elections because he does not believe the candidates are fairly selected; this time, he said he voted "out of desperation" because did not want a staunch conservative to win. "I feel like my vote did not count at all," said
Siahpoosha, a computer engineer who moved to the Though he is pro-reform, "The fact that he was able to win was because, for
the last eight years, reformers didn't accomplish much," said the Now that conservatives hold all the major offices in the country, Naraghi said their platform will be out in the open. "People will see what they are doing," he said. "If they fail, which I think will happen, then the reform movement gets into better action." While Naraghi believes Ahmadinejad may try to appease reformists with cosmetic improvements, Siahpoosha feels instead that the new president will crack down on the reform movement. "I hope I am not right, but the way I see it, there is going to be a sweep of the reformists," he said, fearing arrests and tighter restrictions. "They're not going to leave them alone."

Ex-Yonkers football star guilty in slaying Ayman Marji's head sagged and his relatives burst into
tears as the jury forwewoman announced the guilty verdict in "Justice was served. We knew this was the right verdict," said Luis Delapaz, the victim's stepfather, who hugged Torres' mother and her sister-in-law just after the verdict was announced. "We lost Omar and nobody can bring him back, but at least we can go on now that justice was done." Marji, 23, was convicted of second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon. He faces at least 15 years to life in prison and a maximum of 25 years to life prison when acting state Supreme Court Justice Richard Molea sentences him on Oct. 18. Prosecutors Robert Neary and Lana Hochheiser argued a revenge motive, that Torres, 26, was killed in retaliation for a drive-by shooting the night before in which a cousin of Marji's was grazed by a bullet. Marji's lawyers had criticized the police investigation and argued that the case was one of mistaken identity. They were hopeful of an acquittal as the second day of deliberations began, especially after jurors heard a readback of a key prosecution witness, Raymond Hattar, a gas station attendant and an Arab-American like Marji. Hattar testified that he saw Marji race past him moments after the shooting but that he had some doubt Marji was the one he saw because of the distance between the two. "It's a total miscarriage of justice," defense lawyer Michael Santangelo said as he left the courthouse. "If a jury can convict based on someone testifying that they have some doubt they saw something, then anyone can be convicted. It's a miscarriage of justice." Marji, a junior at Marji and his friends had an ongoing feud with the victim and Torres' twin brother, Javier. Javier Torres testified about a series of threats made by Marji and his friends, testimony that Santangelo argued the judge should not have allowed. Torres remained in the hallway outside the courtroom for the rest of the weeklong trial and the verdict. He was elated when told about the conviction moments later. "I think (the jury) did a good job. Everybody knew (Marji) did it," Torres said. "He thought he would get away with it because they had a lot of money. I guess there is a God." Marji was handcuffed and let away as Molea ordered him held at the county jail to await sentencing. His relatives burst into tears again as they realized he would not be allowed home before he was sent to prison. === Google Alert for: "manhattan college" -"marymount manhattan college" -"borough of manhattan college" Ex-Yonkers football star guilty in slaying The Journal News.com - ...

From: John Pecora [1985] Hi John, I have updated my Info in your Plaxo Biz card, and I have also registered with Plaxo, although I do not know how it use it yet. Plaxo looks like a very good way to keep all the ever changing addresses we all have to manage manually. I enjoy reading Jasper Jottings, even when they do not have much to do with anything I am involved in. The added plus is picking a good tidbit of information, like Plaxo, and I enjoy reading alternative political ideas, which make me think when I hear another's opinion. Thanks for keeping Jasper Jottings ALIVE all this time, several Internet communities I have joined, fell "by the wayside", since budgets and corporate demands have pulled everyone I know to the brink of sweat shop demands. Hope your are
enjoying the brilliant weather we are getting in the Northeast this year. It
reminds me of my youth, when I briefly lived in JohnP.. -- From The Desk Of :
John P. Pecora ..... == Subject: Re: Please update your contact information Hi, I am sitting in my car waiting for a break in a torrential rain. So much for beautiful weather! Plaxo is neat. I suggest
if you use Outlook at work or home, that you setup your contacts in
subfolder. Plaxo now handles these I am very careful what I have where. One's employer may have 'iinteresting' notions as to what is theirs and what's appropriate! ??? Rain stopping ??? == <Picking up inside and dry> Yes, employers have an interesting idea of what is "theirs". So I don't have plaxo deployed on my work top because I don't want the traffic there. Plaxo has pushed some message traffic onto to it but I get it off asap. Even though there is no formal policy. I have a lot of outside interest in addition to Jottings.
I network extensively. I counsel out of work execs. I have a Manhattan Prep
and I guess the frustrating part of Jottings is the apathy of the official MC alumni group. Like the LinkedIn freebie, all they have to do is a little paperwork and a whole new avenue opens up. I JUST don't understand them. Oh well, I've punch the clock and I have a weekly status report to do before my 8:30 am meeting. L8r Thank's for the participation, For a gregarious group, Jasper are sure quiet when it comes to Jottings, John'68 PS, the alternative political views are really mine. And Curmudgeon's. Kindred spirits. But, I really do think government is our BIGGEST problem. I don't know why others don't see it. |

Weirmar deutschmarks! What happens when money is no longer a store of value? I remember the story I was told or read somewhere of how people were paid twice daily and would run out at lunch time to buy something with their pay because it would be worthless by quitting time. Money has certain interesting characteristics. A store of value being one of them. Our current inflation is due to printing press money. When one tries to adapt to the loss of value, how does one store value? Commodities comes immediately to mind. Collectibles if properly selected would serve. Things that are frb (furbie Federal Reserve Banknotes) denominated are probably not good. Any other suggestions? |
And that’s the last word.
