...implicit biases that prejudice people without their knowledge, to an audience representing a wide range of disciplines. In one example of a study demonstrating prevalent perceptual biases, Banaji, who is also the Pforzheimer professor at the Radcliffe Institute, had the audience count the number of passes in a clip showing basketball players. The audience was so focused on the players that most did not see a woman with an umbrella walk through the game. “Social biases are not that different from perceptual biases,” Banaji said. She said that people demonstrate similar blindness in their...
...wrinkles is under way. And Medicis and Allergan aren't the only ones battling for the $14 billion Americans will spend this year to rejuvenate their aging faces. The overall aesthetics market, including laser devices and breast implants, is only going to keep growing, at a 25% annual clip, according to Allergan's calculations.

The reason we are still growing is that our immigrants and naturalized citizens are the one part of the population with a birth rate that is more than replacing itself. Half of all the population growth in America is occurring among Hispanics. With immigration becoming such a pivotal issue, people need to remember that in a very real sense immigration is what keeps us growing and helps invigorate our society in myriad ways...
...join us in the next 37 years, half will be immigrants or their children. In the next few decades, 97% of the world's population growth will occur in the developing world; the U.S. is the largest developed country in the world that is still growing at a healthy clip. That matters, strategically, economically and politically, as developed countries try to maintain their services, their militaries, their economic strength. If there is already a gap in energy and optimism between the U.S. and Europe, it looks likely only to widen in the next generation...
