...study is one of the first to track patterns of discrimination based on weight. It's worth noting, however, that the survey relied on people's own perception of discrimination - the authors did not require the subjects to document bias in any way. In addition, the authors found that rates of discrimination by age and gender also increased in the same time period, suggesting that several forms of bias - or perhaps sensitivity to perceived bias - is on the rise overall, not just against the overweight. Nevertheless, the study did track the same population over time, and Andreyeva says that...
...field manual, a public document written for military use, is not always directly translatable to use by intelligence officers," McCain explained in February, reiterating his position from 2005. He added that the CIA should be allowed to use "alternative interrogation techniques," that are not otherwise outlawed as unduly coercive, cruel, inhumane or degrading.

"'Say on pay' in the U.K. was effective in achieving one of its major goals," the authors write, "to reduce the 'rewards for failure' through a stronger link between pay and realizations of poor performance." That effect has been most pronounced at the firms handing out the biggest pay packages...
...signed the cooperation agreement that will allow them to break ground on a four-building science complex, the first piece of the University’s expansion into Allston. The agreement, which outlines how Harvard will spend nearly $25 million on benefits to the neighborhood, is a legally-binding document. Some of the benefits the University will provide the neighborhood with over the next decade include an education center, public realm improvements, and workforce development programs. Several months have passed since Harvard issued a draft of the cooperation agreement to the Harvard Allston Task Force, but the document remains essentially...
...constantly in motion. Everything is flipping, moving or turning. It works the entire body in a way no other sport does, and the more body parts that are moving, the more you are open to injuries. So, safety should absolutely be the number-one concern. And the more we document and learn about these injuries - what they are and how they are caused - the better we can prevent them in the future...
