...discriminatory, Justice Breyer wrote the opinion joined by fellow liberals Stevens and Souter and by conservatives Roberts and Thomas. (Ginsberg joined Scalia and Alito in Kennedy's dissent.) Likewise the Exxon case, where the court cut the company's punitive damages in the Valdez oil spill, had a similar melange in its 6-3 ruling. "In one way there wasn't the unanimity and consensus the chief justice said he wants, but there was something reassuring this term," says Lazarus. "It seemed less political and more like a lot of lawyers disagreeing. The justices are working much better together...
...another scenario is also possible: that the growing outrage among the political parties and their cadres may spill onto the streets in the form of mass people-power protests. "If they want to make trouble," says Moeen, "let them" - but that belies very real concerns on the part of the government of the threat of widespread dissent. Across the walls of Dhaka University's sprawling campus are murals of activists and revolutionaries breaking their chains and fighting the state. Military rule may be encoded in Bangladesh's DNA, but so too is resistance...
...editorial is indistinguishable from the advertising. You can't tell where the drama ends and the product placement begins. Carrie's friendship with her new assistant (Dreamgirls' Jennifer Hudson) is cemented with the gift of a Louis Vuitton purse; and, in one climactic scene, the humans trying to spill out their emotions are upstaged by a Manolo Blahnik shopping bag. Posh brand names show up everywhere, occasionally with severe consequences (Carrie is effectively led astray by a Vivienne Westwood dress), but mostly to suggest the luxe that goes with the women's lust...
What's more, Bailenson's research suggests that the qualities you acquire online - whether it's confidence or insecurity - can spill over and change your conduct in the real world, often without your awareness. Bailenson has found that even 90 seconds spent chatting it up with avatars is enough to elicit behavioral changes offline - at least in the short term. "When we cloak ourselves in avatars, it subtly alters the manner in which we behave," says Bailenson. "It's about self-perception and self-confidence." But researchers are still trying to figure out the psychological mechanisms at work, and which...
...Given the environmental spill-over costs of factory farmed meats, HUDS should exert this power. As food prices worldwide spike, most of the world’s corn and soy crops are fed to animals—with grain-fed beef requiring 10 times more grain to produce the same amount of calories as direct grain consumption. This, coupled with absurd ethanol subsidies, incentivizes monoculture production of corn across the Midwest, which in turn erodes soil and creates nitrogen run-off into the Gulf of Mexico...
