[Recently] I have been on vacation, but I didn’t necessarily unplug. I screened for critical emails once a day. I had prewritten and scheduled a couple of posts, but they didn’t require much maintenance. Besides that, I was too busy boogie boarding, kayaking, and eating crab cakes to really look at Twitter.

They aggravate acne, eczema, psoriasis and other inflammatory conditions.  You can make your own soothing daily cleansers with very little effort. Grape juice is an excellent cleanser.  The red varieties contain unique antioxidants that may help reduce the risk of heart disease if eaten and prevent wrinkles if applied directly. Do not use grape juice that you purchase at the store.  It contains added sugars, which are not good for your skin’s health or appearance. Simply buy a bunch of red grapes.  Slice two or three in half.  Remove the pits and rub the flesh and pulp ...

I say so because the default setting in life is privacy. Staying in bed maintains privacy pretty well. Clay Shirky gives privacy a contrary treatment on the New York Times‘ Room for Debate blog. We are both discussants there of the question whether the government should intervene to solve privacy issues with Facebook. Shirky, a teacher in the Interactive Telecommunications Program at N.Y.U., writes: There are two principal effects of the Internet on privacy. The first is to shrink personal expression to a dichotomy: public or private. Prior to the rise of digital social life, much of what we said and did was in a public environment — on the street, in a park, at a party — but was not actually publ...

In 1970 — 40 years ago — he taught a class on how to apply psychology to personal life. Yes, that’s right — Dr. Tucker-Ladd pre-dated all of those positive psychology folks and self-help gurus who talk about how you can apply basic psychological principles to help improve our own happiness and well-being. But I met Clay many, many years later — in 1996 — when we began discussing and working on how to publish his self-help book online, the first online self-help book. The self-help book is called fittingly enough Psychological Self-Help, a book he began writing back in 1973. No publ...

Exposure to lead can result in a number of harmful effects, and a developing child is particularly at risk of effects on the brain and nervous system. Arsenic is a carcinogen, and excessive long-term exposure to it has been associated with a range of adverse health effects, including cancers of the urinary bladder, lung and skin. Nzu,...

I recently finished reading an entry on the list: Here Comes Everybody, by Clay Shirky. I enjoyed the book - much of it was familiar to me, but it makes good use of specific examples to convey general principles. Of more interest to me is the application of these ideas to science online. Here’s what I think we can extrapolate from the book - and this is purely my personal interpretation. Most online science communities will fail Why? Answer: almost everything on the Web fails. However, there is so much activity that a few ideas succeed. Shirky uses the notion of “failure for free”; if you have an idea, it costs little or not...

I don't need any help in being confused. But that's what happened when I got up for a bowl of cereal, only to discover that "Clay Aiken is Gay" was a national news story yesterday thanks to Friday's People Magazine cover story. I'm not going to pile on Aiken here. Nor am I going to mention his first solo album was called "Measure of a Man". I can't imagine how hard or terrifying it must be to have a country analyzing your sexual identity before you've figured it out for yourself. OK, maybe I piled on a little.

While such characteristics may be exaggerations, you may find traits of them in a few of the people in your workplace, amongst your friends, or even a loved one. Psychological research has suggested several ways of coping with difficult people in your life, e.g. hostile co-workers or bosses, complainers, super-agreeables, know-it-all experts, pessimists, and stallers. 1. The Hostile Co-worker or Boss Dealing with hostile people requires both tact and strength. Since persons who feel they have been wronged are more likely to be belligerent and violent, you should first try to be sure they have been dealt with fairly. In addition, it would be wise to hel...

This week I was going to write an article about marriage burn-out, but I didn’t bother because someone else already did in yesterday’s Washington Post! While the Washington Post article by Abigail Trafford focuses mostly on long marriages, I think one can have that “burned out” feeling doing anything for even just 5 or 6 years, much less 20 or 30. I think marriages, unlike jobs, are far more challenging to maintain, and beyond just maintaining it, actually helping to nurture it and watch it grow over the years. It can be done. The article mostly focuses on describing how and why many marriages burn out after decades of togetherness, often due to two people growing apart over th...

After 12 year in America, I still can’t make the adjustment. I sit in a posh restaurant with my good pals. Their children are now adults. My pal stands up, adjusts her lapel and whispers sotto voce, “I just need to go potty,” as she departs. I resist falling off my chair because I have an instant translator, but I can’t quell this automatic response. Why do grown up people who are long out of diapers, insist on using this repellent terminology?To be fair, I waited many a goodly year for my own boys to use that very same phrase, preferably prior to the act. Now that they are older and words are more common, they do use it, sometimes prior to the act. With the speech delays, it would appear to be too much of a challenge to move them on...

How so? Today Americans axed  U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and many people cheered his resignation. But did we win – or can we solve deeper problems that plague our progress, with a replacement such as Chertoff?That brief statement made from the Justice Department today seemed more than the conclusion of government services of Attorney General of the United States effective September 17.
