This led them to a penalty shoot-out; as one by one, players went against the opposing team’s goalie. After four shots by each team, Portugal was ahead 2-1. Portugal’s star Cristiano Ronaldo shot to English goalkeeper Paul Robinson’s left, but Robinson dove right. Portugal scored, won the game, and went on to the semifinal. When Robinson dove to his right, he was making a common choice for our right-oriented brains, according to a new study which will be published in an upcoming issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. The researchers found that, in World Cup ...

I mentioned a winning project in the U.S. competition, a smartphone-based imaging system that can help diagnose malaria in far-flung corners of the globe. Today, the creators of that system and a few other Imagine Cup participants are in New York for the international finals. A few of the students appeared on CNN’s American Morning with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. CNN said the malaria app is 94 percent accurate, better than the traditional field test for malaria. Another project, Harmonicare, incorporates a tablet computer to add a musical aspect to the “blowing” test used to help patients regain respiratory function ...

I can’t check CNN.com every half hour for the most recent headlines like Eric, my husband, does. I’m way too anxious about the world’s doom and gloom. Like all the other important activities in my week, I wait for the right moment: when I have a full stomach of protein and fiber, when I’m semi-rested (very rare with two insomniacs as children), when I’m not too caffeinated (even rarer), and when I’m not ticked off at a family member (rarest).

A recent poll asked women from 20 countries to rate men from all nations on their ability in bed and give reasons for their answers. See the top 1o Worst Lovers list below! But first, let’s talk about who was the least worst! Spanish men topped the table as the best lovers!  Why?  I think this might be an example,  Iker Casillas turned a little naughty after winning the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Girlfriend and TV presenter Sara Carbonero was interviewing him and asked about the match however Iker Casillas replied by kissing her live on the Spanish TV. Maybe this is why women see Spanish men as intense, passionate and exciting lovers?  Sara Carbonero was took by surprise and said “Oh my God, I will come back later”, and I am sure sh...

Bipolar disorder is one of these. What’s especially unnerving for people is that relapse can seem random, as though you go to bed feeling one way and wake up another, feeling hints of mania or depression. Why relapse occurs is largely unknown. But we do know certain facts based on research findings, according to Joseph R. Calabrese, M.D., director of the Mood Disorders Program at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, in this excellent article in bp Magazine on relapse: “Those who are diagnosed with bipolar II are more likely to relapse than those with bipolar I. Their episodes of depression, mania or hypomania are often shorter than the episodes experienced by those with bipolar I but tend to return more of...

Given the mysteries of FIFA (soccer’s world governing body) decision making, I was less sure than most that the United States had this one “in the bag,” despite what the New York Times described as “an apparently superior technical bid.” Still, I was surprised that the pea-sized (okay, Connecticut-sized) Middle Eastern nation got the nod . . . and more than a little disappointed given the human rights record of the country. FIFA was apparently drawn to the idea of the transformative power of football and the notion that a World Cup in Qatar could alter opinions of the Arab world.  According to the head of Qatar’s winning bid, Sheik Mohammed bin Hamad al-Thani, the 2022 World Cup will “present a new image ...

I would expand Grant’s first point to darned-near all elite international organizations, from the International Olympic Committee all the way to the United Nations (though the Wall Street Journal today said FIFA makes the UN look like a mode...

For those Ecuadorians who don’t have Direct TV, but only have cable TV or the local network channels, the only place to have watched the much-awaited matches was on one of the state-owned TV stations and with constant state propaganda. (You can watch the videos depicting the private press as a snake or as shooting bullets coming out of the TV here, here, here and here.) When I say constant, I might be understating the frequency: according to Infomedia — a media monitoring company— during the weekend of June 18-20 these ads were broadcasted 414 times for a total of 7,988 seconds or 133 minutes.

No endangered species inhabits [sic] a football pitch, unless you count the U.S. national team.” (Did these morons watch today’s match against Algeria?) Greenpeace’s point is that there are a lot of trees being cut down all the time.

That is, until Solafrica, a Swiss nonprofit, provided them with a portable solar power station to run a large TV. And Solafrica didn’t stop there. In partnership with Greenpeace, they trained local young people to make simple solar-powered LED lamps to replace the kerosene ones being used in Kibera.

If you haven’t actually heard them (annoying), you’ve probably heard of them: They’re those long, colorful plastic horns that drown out any other sound in the soccer stadiums, and make you think an air raid is imminent. Players are complaining about them, TV and radio commentators are complaining about them – even viewers at home hate them. We get the whole player distraction thing. But no one’s even mentioned the horns’ worst quality – the actual waste they create.

It’s been a while since we took a trip to the local fromagerie (we took French in college, no big deal) to buy some cheese we can’t afford. But it’s totally worth it, because dairy could reduce our risk of heart disease. Rent a movie. Going to the movies nowadays will set you back quite a ...

Five stadiums that will be used in the games all embody some environmentally-friendly practices. Two are new, two are old, and one is remodeled, but all are leaning toward being as “green” as possible in their own specific ways. The new stadiums were built with solar power capabilities; are flexible enough to be used for other events in the future; and one even has a rainwater collection system. While the older stadiums aren’t equipped with solar panels or anything high-tech, they’re age helps make them environmentally friendly. Rather than tearing down perfectly good, usable stadiums, opting to use preexisting structures is definitely a responsible choice. Finally...

Reusable bags, reusable bottles, and now reusable French presses. Hey, wait – French presses have always been reusable. Because they’re glass. Jeff Baccetti, inventor of the “XPress Lid” by Smart Cup, thinks life would be easier (and a more fun) if coffee chains sold individual “disposable and recyclable” French presses (paper cup, plastic lid). The disposability of these one-use cups suggests that the over-caffeinated should be French pressing on-the-go, which seems cumbersome and impractical. Coffee drinkers could just use a real French press, instead of one that many will just dump in the trash, only to spend eternity taking up space in a landfil...

(8:00, ESPN2 “USA! USA!

Checking email as I walked to the gym, I found an inquiry about the tickets and phoned the guy, who happened to live 100 feet from where I was walking.

I can’t imagine running around a soccer field while sick with the regular flu, let alone Swine Flu, can you? But the H1N1 virus has been shown in his system. Did it have something to do with the team’s loss? It certainly couldn’t have helped. Donovan says he did feel lethargic and just not himself before the game, but he couldn’t pinpoint the problem. Despite playing in Mexico, Donovan also says he must have caught the disease in the United States. Donovan appeared tired about halfway through the game, when normally he would have been the fastest player on the team. Donovan was Player of the Month in July, but no news on whether he’ll...

Most people don’t know what it does or why we have one. In fact, most of the time when someone hears about the spleen, it’s when someone has injured it and has to have surgery to remove it: a splenectomy. Boston Bruins defenceman Matt Hunwick was one of those unlucky ones yesterday. The 24-year-old hockey player had to leave his team, which is in the first round of the Stanley Cup play offs against the Montreal Canadiens, and will be spending the next few weeks recovering from his surgery. Your spleen is a rather small, unassuming organ. It can be anywhere from 2.5 to six inches long and is usually on the left side, just below your rib cage. For an unknown organ, it has an important role. Along with other body organs...

I know that in the months prior to my MS diagnosis I would fade each and every day around 2:00-2:30pm.  My 3 o’clock mocha was as much a part of my business daily routine as were at least one plane flight and an uncomfortable hotel bed.  If I didn’t get my mid-afternoon jolt of caffeine and sugar, I was a dead man walking. I never bought into that whole Prokarin thing, the patch of histamine and caffeine touting itself as new multiple sclerosis therapy.  I prefer my buzz to come in a flavorful cup rather than a dermal plaster.

In this section, I will discuss the scholarly literature in favor of this assertion. * * * Current Theoretical Background on Sport Participation as Reconciliation The idea of employing sport as a means of addressing group conflict has been gaining traction in academia. U.K. education scholar Richard Bailey of Roehampton University, for instance, points to the fact that student participation in sports may mitigate the risk of student social alienation and enhance a sense of social inclusion (Bailey, 2002). Sociologist Fred Coalter of the University of Stirling similarly observes that participation in sport has i...

The researchers looked at cardiac, or heart, emergencies and heart attacks in Munich, Germany when Germany won the 2006 World Cup tournament. “The more important the game, the greater the risk,” said Dr. Ute Wilbert-Lampen, one of the study’s lead authors. “There is also a direct correlation between the tension in the game and the amount of stress one feels — and thus the strain on the heart.” The researchers looked at 4,279 heart cases that occurred in the greater Munich area during World Cup games that Germany was playing in.
