Health - Wellness - Exercise - Reflections:
Is Google Making You Stupid?

by Bari Lieberman July 15, 2011, Men's Health

Can't seem to recall which year McGwire and Sosa battled it out for home run records? No problem, you'll just Google it. Trouble is, that habit is replacing the old trick of actually remembering stuff, research suggests.

We're less likely to try and remember the information when we know it's readily accessible (read: Google search it again), according to studies from Columbia University.

"We are adapting to having information consistently available by remembering where information is best found and prioritizing it over remembering the details of the information itself," says researcher Betsy Sparrow, Ph.D., assistant professor at Columbia. In other words: You don't actually remember stuff, you just remember where to look it up again. This may help to explain why you can't remember a single thing after hours of StumbleUpon readings.

A better approach: Sharpen your brain--not just your search skills-with these memory-boosting tips from Cynthia R. Green, Ph.D., founder and president of Memory Arts and author of Brainpower Game Plan.

1. Talk to yourself: When you repeat information to yourself, you force yourself to pay better attention to it. You also give yourself a chance to rehearse the information.

2. Make it a game: Read about a new hot restaurant on Barrel Street? Think of a Cracker Barrel or your high school friend whose last name was Barrel. Using a connection strategy will both boost your attention for the information you want to remember and give it some personal meaning that makes it more memorable.

3. Eat broccoli: Add a few stalks to your grocery chart. Foods rich in folic acid, such as broccoli, have been shown to help protect and possibly improve memory by lowering homocysteine levels in the blood, a Tufts University study found.
Take Action:
  • Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida!In conclusion, O'Reilly expressed out-right Hatrad of the LGBT Community.
  • Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations.Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customers. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard? Perhaps TARGET would better understand the issue if they cared about David Kato - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay! That is because Uganda wants to kill gay people. Again, TARGET invested in a political candidate that would Kill the Gays!
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • NEW: "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC renew the clown's show after he pulled all such low-class shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Dump NBC because they re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! NBC, Really? Update June 1, 2011: Trump now claims that Obama's long form, original birth certificate is fake. And NBC keeps this hater? NBC, You Kidding Us?
And Now, Model Wars!

'Ex-gay' conference headed to St. Paul in 2012
Michele Bachmann has endorsed past Exodus International conferences

By Andy Birkey - 07.15.11 - Minnesota Independent

Amid news that Rep. Michele Bachmann's Christian counseling clinic performs therapy aimed at "curing" gays and lesbians of homosexuality, the nation's largest "ex-gay" organization, Exodus International, announced it will hold its annual conference, "Exodus Freedom," in St. Paul next year. The last time an Exodus conference came to Minnesota, Bachmann gave it a glowing endorsement.

According to Exodus International, the conference will be held the last weekend of July 2012 at Northwestern College.
 
Northwestern is a private Christian college with deep connections to Minnesota's most conservative Christians. Minnesota Family Council CEO John Helmberger was a member of the college's board of trustees until 2008, and current MFC associate Megan Doyle sits on the board.
 
Bachmann's been a speaker at the college, and the school has placed interns with her office.
 
Janet Boynes, who describes herself as a "former lesbian" and is close friends with Bachmann and MFC, has also presented at the school.
 
The college seems an apt setting for Exodus' ex-gay conference. Its student handbook forbids homosexuality, and students who are in same-sex relationships can be expelled.

In 2007, the LGBT equality group Soulforce visited the school to convince it to relax its position on LGBT students. The college administration greeted Soulforce with three students who said they were formerly gay or lesbian.

Soulforce member Emil Pohlig recalled one speaker named Nate. "As a homosexual, he said, he had been broken in his ability to love, but Jesus fixed all of that for him. After all, 'the opposite of homosexuality isn't heterosexuality,' he said, 'the opposite of homosexuality is holiness.'"

Exodus' conference is being hosted by Outpost Ministries, a Twin Cities-based chapter of Exodus International.

In an email announcing the conference, the group wrote, "We need prayer for protection, strength and perseverence [sic] at the conference site, at the Outpost office location and wherever staff and conference personnel may be during that time. We believe that this will be a critical event in the history of Outpost Ministries, and will catapult us into a new realm of kingdom reality and spiritual warfare."

Exodus has brought its ex-gay conference to Minneapolis at least twice before -- in 2000 and 2004 under the name Love Won Out and in partnership with Focus on the Family (Focus on the Family handed the conference over to Exodus competely in 2009). Before the 2004 conference, then-Sen. Michele Bachmann gave a glowing endorsement of the event.

"I know that Love Won Out will present the truth about homosexuality," Bachmann said, "and present it in a compassionate and loving manner. Those of us working to safeguard marriage from redefinition by radical judges must inform our efforts with an understanding of the deep emotional wounds that many in the homosexual community carry. I look forward to welcoming Minnesotans and residents of surrounding states to hear the message of healing that is possible."

Bachmann and her husband Marcus made headlines last week when an undercover investigation revealed that their Christian counseling clinic performed therapy aimed at "curing" gays of homosexuality.
 
There's no indication that Bachmann will be part of the June 27-30, 2012, conference.
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
