...fast? Once you've learned how to work that PC, go ahead and Google (you'll figure it out) a video called "100 Greatest Hits of YouYube in 4 Minutes." With one minute for every year YouTube has been in existence, this video has it all: Obama Girl, the Dr. Pepper guys, Matt's funny dance and an absurdly low-flying 747. Plus lots and lots and lots of people falling down and hurting themselves. Consider this clip a welcome-back present - and your pop culture lifeline. (See the top 10 everything...
...else could show up to the Toronto premiere of her first directorial effort, the roller derby-themed film Whip It, with a hair-do that looked like something put together by a bored Jolie-Pitt child during an unsupervised hour at the chateau? If this were Lindsay Lohan, Dr. Phil would be calling for an intervention, but when Barrymore dips the last two inches of her electrocuted-looking blonde bob into skunk black, we assume her motive was not pretension or looming personal disaster, but rather some sort of unabashed joy we may not share, but which we can appreciate...
Science agrees that listening to music at too high a volume can be dangerous, even for the young. Dr. Sandra Levey of New York City's Lehman College says 13% of teenagers aged 16 to 19 already show signs of noise-induced hearing loss. The inner ear contains small hair cells that vibrate against an inner membrane, generating an electrical signal that the brain interprets as sound, Levey explains. When bombarded by loud volumes over an extended period of time, these hair cells die off. The result is hearing loss, and potentially an array of other nasty consequences. A study...
...what's a safe level to listen at? Dr. Alison Grimes, manager of the audiology clinic at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, says it's difficult to tell. Eighty decibels is about the same level as ambient street noise, and existing U.S. government guidelines for workplace noise levels generally consider it a safe level for extended exposure. But Grimes says some people's ears are more susceptible to damage than others, which makes it hard to set definitive standards. In general, the softer the volume - and the shorter the duration - the lower the risk of hearing loss...
Leon Eisenberg was a pioneering psychiatrist, [trained in both adult and child psychiatry,] and not a psychologist as your article erroneously implies. I am sure that Professor Kleinman–also a psychiatrist–did not tell your author that Dr. Eisenberg would leave a legacy in “psychology,” a very different discipline from the one to which Dr. Eisenberg made so many contributions. Attention to accuracy about the facts of this great man’s life would have been a more fitting tribute...
