Blue Zircon 3.5mm Round Glossy Stacking Ring with 1.5mm band - Blue Zircon Ring - In Recycled Sterling silver - Stackable
• This listing is for the depicted Blue Zircon ring
• Hand Made in 100% USA recycled 925 sterling silver
• The setting is 3.8 mm in diameter and it comes up 3 mm from the band. The band is 1.5 mm in thickness.
• smooth round band, with a glossy surface finish
• Featuring a select grade 3.5 mm Natural Blue Zircon Gem (heat treated only) from either Sri Lanka or Thailand
• I custom make this item to order for production
I use very traditional methods to make this ring,
I use silver or gold tubing & wire that I shape, cut & solder. I cut a measured piece of round 14 ga wire, solder it together for the ring band. I form and shape the band with a steel or plastic mallet until the desired shape and texture has been achieved. Then I cut a piece of thick walled tubing for the gem setting. I solder it to the ring band, then I set the gem and polish or matte the ring
A ring sizing is free but it counts as an exchange, except you have more time to decide to get it sized. You have to ship the ring back to me at your expense, but I will resize the ring and ship it back to you at my expense. I prefer you contact me within 3 months of purchase to initiate the sizing.
- To initiate a ring sizing simply send me an Etsy conversation and I will give you return shipping details and a time frame from when the ring arrives, typically a sizing takes me 3-5 business days.
Each ring order comes with a free ring sizing band. This can be used to determine a correct size for a resizing or size your other fingers, or gift it to a friend! Remember, it is a wide band so if you are ordering a ring with a very thin band say 1-1.5mm(like a stacking ring) you may want to have it be a quarter size smaller than the measured size.
IMPORTANT Shipping/Delivery notes:
Please LET ME KNOW when the delivery deadline for your order is in the "note to seller" box at checkout. I need to know when items need to be delivered by so I can plan production based on the fastest approaching deadlines within reason.

I want you have your order in time for when you need it so letting me know will ensure a smooth experience. If I am unable to meet your deadline I will let you know right away and offer you a refund.
I am now able to update my production/lead times in real time, see the shipping section of the listing for current wait times. I will increase or decrease it depending on the volume I have and how many clients are waiting on projects. Thanks!!

Each ring order comes with a free ring sizing band. This can be used to determine a correct size for a resizing or size your other fingers, or gift it to a friend! The sizing band is considered a wide band (3mm), consider a quarter size smaller for narrow band such as a 1.2mm stacking ring.

You are responsible for the cost of mailing the item back to me, however, I will cover the cost of mailing the exchange and or sized ring back to you. I will notify you when the item has arrived at my shop and I will follow up with a shipping notification once the exchange and or ring sizing is complete.
As you may have noticed I offer 14 and 18 kt white gold for my cast jewelry. I personally prefer 18 kt white gold because it is a little bit softer than 14k and more suitable for setting bezels however I have recently found a very suitable 14 kt white gold alloy for setting bezels. This is what the difference is:
18kt means the gold metal contains 75% gold
14kt means the gold contains about 58% gold
Palladium based white gold is also available for all my cast items upon request. Send me an Etsy conversation for a price.
Yes! Most of my metals with the exception of Platinum are 100% recycled
- 925 Sterling Silver - 100% USA recycled
- 935 Argentium Sterling Silver - 100% USA recycled
- 10, 14 or 18kt yellow gold - 100% USA recycled
- 14kt and 18kt white gold - 100% USA recycled
- Palladium based 14kt or 18kt white gold - 100% USA or Canada recycled
- 14 kt rose gold - 100% USA or Canada recycled
- Platinum - sort of, see below
100% Recycled means that the metal was refined from post consumer or from manufacturing scrap metal.
I will often recycle one more time from my scrap pile to make rose or yellow gold beads for rings or for ring re-sizing.
Here is a list of my most popular gems origins:
Blue Sapphires: Sri Lanka, Camboida, Australia or Thailand
Pink Sapphires: Sri Lanka
Yellow Sapphires: Thailand
Green Sapphires: Thailand
White Sapphires: India
Emeralds: Columbia or Brazil
Rubies: Sri Lanka, Cambodia or Thailand
White Diamonds: Canada
Black Diamonds: South Africa
Yellow and Brown Diamonds: Australia
Aquamarine: Brazil or Madagascar
Amethyst: Brazil or Zambia
Peridot: Arizona USA
Topaz - Sky Blue, Swiss Blue and London Blue: Brazil, Sri Lanka, Mozambique or Madagascar
White Topaz: India
Red Sunstone: India
Oregon Sunstone: USA
Opal: Ethiopia or Australia
** Please note this list is subject to change, I will do my best to update it periodically**
Citrine: Brazil
Garnet (almandine): India, Sri Lanka or Madagascar
Tsavorite Garnet: Kenya or Tanzania
Rhodolite Garnet: Sri Lanka, India or Madagascar
Iolite: India
Apatite: Brazil or Madagascar
Tanzanite: Tanzania
Green, Pink and Blue Tourmaline: Brazil, Madagascar or Afghanistan
Blue Zircon: Sri Lanka or Thailand
Morganite: Brazil or Afghanistan
Moonstone: India
Amber: Baltic (Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia)
Amazonite: Brazil
Blue Chalcedony: South Africa
Malachite: Zambia
Jadeite: Burma
Labradorite: Madagascar
Lapis Lazuli: Afghanistan
Nephrite Jade: Taiwan or British Columbia
Rose Quartz: Brazil or Madagascar
** Please note this list is subject to change, I will do my best to update it periodically**
If you are uncertain about your ring size you can contact me and request a ring sizing band to verify your size. If you have already placed an order it is free, if not it is $3 and you do not have to return it.
If you have already placed an order please contact me as soon as possible as to not delay your items production time. Within the US it usually takes 3-5 business days to arrive so if you contact me right away it will likely arrive with enough time for me to make and ship the ring on time.
Remember, it is a wide band so if you are ordering a ring with a very thin band say 1-1.5mm(like a stacking ring) you may want to have it be a quarter size smaller than the measured size.
I do NOT recommend printable ring sizing charts.
Sort of, a very small amount of it exists for use for jewelry/industrial and scientific applications. So platinum is certainly recycled for re-use ,however, the amount of heat and resources required to recycle and refine platinum for re-use is immense. So with that the answer is still sort of.
Why don't I have very much ready to ship jewelry on Etsy?
Most of my ready made jewelry is on display at a gallery here in Berkshire County. If you are traveling through Western Massachusetts its called the Good Purpose Gallery on the Main street in Lee, MA. Lee is exit 2 on the I-90.

'Awake': Can A Risky New Drama Break A Streak Of Bad Luck?
There's a new show coming to NBC next week, it's called "Awake." Promotional ads for the show ran during the Super Bowl. A middle-aged man who's lost his family in a car crash quietly talks to his psychiatrist.
JASON ISAACS: (as Michael Britten) I close my eyes. I open them.
CHERRY JONES: (as Dr. Judith Evans) And this has been happening since accident.
ISAACS: (as Michael Britten) Yeah.
JONES: (as Dr. Judith Evans) Your mind created an entire reality. Your wife survived in one and your son in the other.
BD WONG: (as Dr. John Lee) Detective Britten, the reality is that you can't tell whether you're asleep or awake at this very moment.
MONTAGNE: A daring premise. "Awake" was created by writer Kyle Killen. His entire career has been defined by interesting failures - TV shows and movies that ended up losing millions of dollars for the companies that gambled on them.
NPR's Neda Ulaby met Killen and asked him about taking creative risks in an industry that's generally risk-averse.
NEDA ULABY, BYLINE: It probably doesn't hurt that Kyle Killen is the kind of Hollywood writer who looks like an actor; the kind who'd star in an upbeat romantic comedy. But "Awake" is just like all his other scripts: challenging, densely constructed. And it's about an emotionally wounded family man with a psyche splintered by trauma. So it's a little surprising when Killen mentions the movie that made him want to be a screenwriter.
MICHAEL J. FOX: (as Marty McFly) Are you telling me that you built a time machine out of a DeLorean?
CHRISTOPHER LLOYD: (as Doc Brown) The way I see it, if you're build a time machine into a car why not do it with some style? Look out.
ULABY: Yes, the splashy mainstream comedy "Back to the Future."
KYLE KILLEN: The structure of that thing like the brilliance of how it was put together and everything interlocked, and it all worked. And it worked in this way that was super emotional and made you happy.
ULABY: Happy is not exactly Kyle Killen's stock in trade. He studied screenwriting at the University of Southern California. And when he graduated, he found himself writing in L.A. coffee shops filled with other people doing exactly the same thing.
KILLEN: My wife had become pregnant with twins, and we literally had a conversation about how I needed to either make money writing or get a different job by the time those kids were born.
ULABY: Now most people would say OK, I need to write the most commercial screenplay possible - something I can sell. But not Kyle Killen.
KILLEN: I just decided I would do something, even if it seemed super problematic and unlikely to ever be made, a story that I believed in telling. And so, for whatever reason, that involved a man and his British beaver puppet.
MEL GIBSON: (as Walter Black) Did you read the card?
JODIE FOSTER: (as Meredith Black) Yes.
ULABY: Before "The Beaver" became an epic flop and one of last year's most denigrated movies, it was widely regarded as one of most intriguing screenplays floating around Hollywood.
GIBSON: (as Walter Black) Read the card.
FOSTER: (as Meredith Black) The person who handed you under this card is under the care of a prescription puppet, designed to help create a psychological distance between himself and the negative aspects of his personality.
ULABY: Here's where I have to admit this story about Kyle Killen wasn't really my idea. It was suggested to me by Linda Holmes. She's NPR's pop culture blogger. She supports Kyle Killen's career so much, she's even got something nice to say about "The Beaver," like, it's wildly original.
LINDA HOLMES, BYLINE: It's not as if you can say: not another movie where a guy has his personality taken over by a prescription beaver puppet.
ULABY: She says if you look underneath all the noise about Mel Gibson's bizarre comeback movie after so many years of horrible behavior, you'll find a smart idiosyncratic screenplay. And, like many other TV critics, she adored Kyle Killen's next flop. The Fox TV show "Lone Star" was about a con man torn between two women he's leading on and his scheming dad.
JAMES WOLK: (as Bob Allen) I'm not working an angle here.
DAVID KEITH: (as John Allen) What do you mean?
WOLK: (as Bob Allen) I mean I'm not doing this anymore. I don't ever want another situation like Midland again.
KEITH: (as John Allen) You mean the fact that you had a girl there, too? Now, whose fault was that, son? I mean I've always taught you, you can play any character you want. Never play yourself - that's what let's you walk away when the time is right. Now, you forgot that and you got hurt. That's why we play by rules. Eat up.
HOLMES: "Lonestar" was one of the very few, perhaps the only, well-reviewed network pilot of Fall 2010 Season. And it lasted two episodes.
ULABY: Two episodes. Then canceled because practically nobody watched it in spite of all that critical love.
KILLEN: I think we were all stunned and disappointed by scale of its failure.
ULABY: Kyle Killen is trying not to look morose, as he says he's learned a lot from his last show. But it's possible he's being set up to fail again.
Bill Gorman runs a website called TV By The Numbers, and he cast an appraising eye on "Awake's chances.
BILL GORMAN: Its already going in with a lot of handicaps.
ULABY: Gorman said, first of all, it's a midseason premiere. That doesn't signal confidence. And it's replacing a show with pathetically awful ratings - even by NBC's low standards.
GORMAN: That can't be good. I mean, I don't know. Is the show going to be successful? That's a really, really, really difficult timeslot for NBC.
ULABY: "Awake" will be up against "The Mentalist" and "Private Practice," two of the most highly rated shows on CBS and ABC. Now, if "Awake" was a novel or even a studio recording, the stakes would not be as high. It would not cost a fortune to produce, create work for scores of people or be one of the last hopes of a network desperate for hits. But "Awake" is all of those things, as well as being a complex, relentlessly somber TV show about a cop caught between two devastating alternate realities.
WONG: (as Dr. John Lee)I don't think I've ever seen a coping mechanism quite like it. An elaborate and ongoing dream relieving you of the obligation of dealing with his death.
ISAACS: (as Michael Britten) It all feels completely real to me.
ULABY: I asked Kyle Killen what it's like to have produced such a string of interesting failures when the stakes are so terribly high. But I was a little more diplomatic.
How do you balance being a creative risk taker with reality of the industry that you're in?
KILLEN: Perhaps not very well. I mean I think, like, you can't make good TV by committee. Somebody has to be following their own North Star. And mine has certainly led to places that it turns out there are not a lot of other people there.
ULABY: But Kyle Killen has gotten chance after chance in a high stakes industry, partly because it's seemed as though his interesting failures hold more promise than uninteresting hits. But keeping perspective he says is not a problem.
KILLEN: I was working construction, like not very many years ago, and all of this is sort of, like, all right. I mean at some point people will wake up and realize like I'm still a guy who belongs over there doing that.
ULABY: Or may be not. Even if "Awake" becomes the latest of Kyle Killen's interesting failures, the people who admire his choices and follow his career still think he's off to a good start.

Brenda Kirsch Frketich of St. Paul, Ore., has been chosen one of America's Best Young Farmers and Ranchers by The Progressive Farmer magazine.
Frketich, who grows grass seed and hazelnuts on her family's 1,000-acre farm, was one of six young producers chosen by the magazine. She and the others will be featured in the magazine's February issue. To be eligible, nominees have to be age 40 or younger, manage at least 500 acres and be active in their community.
In addition to taking over operations on the family farm, Frketich is active with the local fire district, volunteers with the Farm Bureau and advocates for farming on her blog, www.nuttygrass.com.
As reported previously by the Capital Press and others, Frketich went from her small Oregon high school to study business at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, but realized she wanted to farm instead. After graduating, she returned to the family farm and made a deal with her father, Paul: She would work a two-year internship, doing everything he did. If either one was unhappy with how things turned out, they could walk away.
It worked, and this past January Paul Kirsch decided to turn everything over to his daughter. He's available for consultation, but otherwise Brenda, 30, makes the farm decisions.

We have to admit, all of us have been on the to-don'ts list of fashion at least once in our lives. More than just putting together pieces of clothing and accessories and hoping that it pulls together, some people take fashion more seriously than you think. Creativity and attitude are insufficient when it comes to the fashion industry. Proper training from the top fashion universities has become a necessity in becoming a popular fashion designer.Fashion universities know that the fashion industry is a competitive field. Designers often go back to school to take refresher courses as they don't want to be left behind on the latest trends. The following then are tips to fashion designers on how to stay in fashion in the industry.1. Be innovativeFashion universities teach their students how to stay current. Fashion designers are trend-setters. Practically speaking, they are the ones who dictate what savvy people will be wearing in the next season. People follow fashion designers and it is the job of fashion universities to instill that trend-setting mindset to their students. Immersing yourself with fashion and being exposed to anything and everything can kick up your creativity level. Remember that clothing is supposed to be a way of expression which puts a heavy responsibility on the designers. People will be wearing your design which means that designers should remained challenged to always come up with new ideas to express oneself.2. Fast-pacedThe fashion industry is a fast-paced environment that requires constant innovative designs. Fashion universities can keep you up to date with the prevailing trends at a time, but by tomorrow, a brand new concept will be introduced. With technology, design software can also be used by not only speeding up the process of designing but also make use of techniques that cannot be instilled in pencil drawing. As the industry goes from season to season, fashion designers will always have to be a season ahead of everyone else. Fashion universities then keep students conscious of the shifting demands and opportunities of the fashion industry. Fashion designers should know how to think quickly and master their skills because something new has to be put on the store shelves for next season.3. Broaden your optionsThere are hundreds of fashion designers that dream of getting their designs on the runway. Graduates of fashion universities are usually either self-employed or work for a clothing and apparel company. Inadequate capital and social connections are factors that hinder good fashion designers to be seen in fashion shows. As only a handful of designers get recognized in the fashion industry, fashion universities regard several options to which students should consider. Make-up Artists, Stylists, and Fashion Merchandising are but some examples of careers that are closely related to fashion design which are also offered by many fashion universities.Fashion universities are best suited for those who truly have a love for clothing and fashion. Staying in fashion can be both a tiring and rewarding career. Like Heidi Klum says in her popular TV show called Project Runway, "One day you're in, and the next day you're out".
Livestock Hauling For Specialized Truckers | Livestock
When most people think of livestock transport they imagine those huge, smelly trailers driving down the road full of cattle, often also full of manure, that are so common on the highways and byways of rural America. While this is one type of livestock hauling, there are other options to consider as well.Traditional or typical livestock hauling is more than just a driving a truck. You will be responsible for assisting with loading and unloading and also making sure that animals are not overcrowded in the truck. When in the truck on the road you have to keep the weather conditions in mind as very hot and very cold conditions can obviously lead to serious health issues for the load. Cattle arriving dead or in poor condition at delivery is not only inhuman but also a very negative strike against you with the customer. Packing plants and auctions will only accept live animals, which leaves you having to dispose of a carcass once you get it off your truck.Livestock hauling also means long hours, often early in the morning, to be at the farm, feedlot or auction to load or unload. This may mean loading in the dark to be at the auction, packing plant or abattoir to unload as soon as the business opens. While this is not always the case, trucking in the livestock industry usually means shorter runs for slaughter bound cattle.But, there are a lot of different livestock hauling options out there other than just hauling cattle for slaughter or short transport. Tapping into these markets and finding your specialization can create a very unique target market with very limited competition. In these specialized types of businesses your name and your personal reputation as a safe, efficient and humane hauler can propel you to the top of the list of truckers within that industry.Hauling HorsesUnless you were raised in and around the "horsey" community you may not realize just how many larger breeding, showing and competitive haulers there are out there. These rigs are not at all like traditional livestock hauling and include transporting horse trailers that may hold as many as 15 plus horses. These trailers will use a standard trailer hookup and may be complete with temperature control, storage compartments and rear and side loading ramps.Hauling horses requires a keen ability to work with both the animals and the owners. These horses are typically competitive or show animals and, considering their value, may be one of the most significant loads you could imagine hauling. As the trucker you will need to check the horses on a regular basis, provide feed and water, and, depending on the contract, you may be required to stop, unload, rest and reload the horses.For this type of specialized livestock hauling it is essential to know about horses and to have experience in hauling these animals. They do move and cause the trailer to shift, which will require top driving skills.Often these customers are very particular about their horses. Any sign of stress or distress, an animal that was injured in the trailer, or any type of concern about your ability to care for the animals and keep them safe will impact your ability to market your services. On the flip side, a highly recommended driver will find there are always loads of horses to take to show, race and competitions both nationally and internationally. Once established drivers in this specialized livestock hauling niche are rarely left without all the work they want.Hauling Show and Purebred Cattle, Goats and PigsLike show horses and competitive horses, show cattle and purebred cattle for breeding programs are not moved in the same types of trucks that cattle for slaughter or basic transport are hauled in. These elite of the bovine world travel in modified horse trailers or in semi or fully closed stock trailers.This type of hauling is in highest demand during the rodeo and show season. In most areas of the United States and Canada this is during the summer and fall months, but in various areas it may be year round. Breeding stock, which may include bulls or cows, typically is steady year round with the heaviest workload in the spring, summer and fall.Larger breeders of goats and pigs may also require a commercial trucker for hauling show animals or breeding stock. This is not as common as cattle and horses, but also requires a much smaller trailer. These hauls can be short distance hauls or can be cross-country trips. Feeding, watering and checking the pigs and goats will be included as part of your tasks as the driver.Overall ConsiderationsHauling livestock requires hard work, a willingness to help in handling the animals, and an understanding of animal health and safety issues. Keeping equipment clean and disinfected, staying on schedule and ensuring top of the line service to each and every customer will certainly go a long way in this very specialized part of the trucking industry.

Bell, Raines elected to Canadian Hall of Fame
TORONTO -- This year's voting process for the Baseball Hall of Fame didn't result in any living players being inducted, but the same won't be said for Canada's version of the baseball shrine.
Former Blue Jays star George Bell and Expos standout Tim Raines were among the five inductees for the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame's Class of 2013.
The list of honorees also includes the late legendary Blue Jays broadcaster Tom Cheek, former Toronto outfielder Rob Ducey and Nat Bailey, who was heavily involved in professional and amateur baseball in the Vancouver area.
"This year's inductees represent a cross section of individuals who have both left their mark on baseball in Canada and enriched the game for all Canadians," Allan Simpson, chair of the Hall's selection committee, said in a statement.
"We will be honoring two of the most celebrated players in the history of the Blue Jays and Expos, the most influential voice in Canadian baseball history, a pioneer in the development of baseball at all levels in British Columbia and a Canadian who had a lengthy big league career and helped Canada become a respected international opponent."
Raines, who received 52.2 percent of the vote in his sixth year on the Hall of Fame ballot, played in Montreal for 13 seasons and posted a career batting line of .294/.385/.425 with 808 stolen bases over the course of his 23-year career. He was named to seven All-Star teams as an Expo and ranks among the franchise's leaders in just about every offensive statistic.
There was a sense of disappointment for Raines when he came up short in his quest for the Baseball Hall of Fame, but his vote totals have increased every year, and while it has been a long wait, there's still the possibility he will eventually become successful in the quest.
In the meantime, Raines said he was overwhelmed to be recognized for the 13 years he spent playing north of the border for the since-relocated Expos organization.
"The emotions of not getting into the Baseball Hall of Fame is something I've been dealing with for five years," Raines said during an afternoon conference call with reporters. "But getting into the Canadian Hall of Fame, it's the highest honor I've gotten in my career since I've played professional baseball. This is a great moment for me [and] my family, and I was ecstatic hearing about it."
While Raines was leading off for the Expos in the 1980s, Bell was lending his power bat to the Blue Jays' lineup. The left fielder played in Toronto for nine seasons, batting .286/.325/.486 with 202 homers and 740 RBIs. He won the '87 AL MVP Award after hitting .308/.352/.605 with 47 homers and 134 RBIs and remains the only Blue Jays player to win the award.
Following his MVP campaign, Bell spent three more seasons in Toronto before eventually departing for the Cubs as a free agent in 1991. The Dominican native went on to play for three more years, but he said nothing compares to the time he spent with the Blue Jays.
"The experience I had with the Toronto Blue Jays was the best I ever had in my life," Bell said. "I grew up as a player in Toronto, and to leave Toronto after the 1990 season was kind of disappointing in my career to go somewhere else."
Cheek's induction represents yet another honor in what has proven to be a busy year for his family. In December, he was chosen for the 2013 Ford C. Frick Award, which is given to broadcasters for "major contributions to baseball."
The former voice of the Blue Jays will forever be known for his "Touch 'em all, Joe" call when Joe Carter hit a walk-off homer in Game 6 to capture the 1993 World Series over Philadelphia. Cheek spent 27 years as the Blue Jays' radio broadcaster, and at one point, he called 4,306 consecutive games. He passed away in 2005 at the age of 66.
"I think my first reaction was shock, and then I said it was the trifecta, because Tom was inducted into the Vermont Association of Broadcasters on Dec. 1, because his career started there," said Shirley Cheek, who was Tom's wife.
"To Tim Raines, Tom was associated and got his start in Montreal filling in as a swing announcer for the Expos. So that award came, and then I found out about the Frick Award -- and yes, it took eight years; so don't give up, Tim -- then to find out about this, it really was a trifecta finding out about the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame giving Tom this great honor."
Ducey, a native of Toronto, played parts of seven seasons with the Blue Jays and spent half of his last season with the Expos, the first Canadian-born player to suit up for both franchises. Ducey was a career .242/.331/.396 hitter with 31 homers and 146 RBIs over a 13-year big league career.
The 47-year-old also spent some time with the Blue Jays' organization as a scout, where he saw firsthand how much the game has grown in Canada since his playing days. Ducey faced a lot of obstacles along the way to the big leagues, but a lot of those barriers have since been broken down for Canadian athletes as they look to make it into the professional levels.
"The rules have changed. When I was younger, Canadians were not eligible for the Draft," Ducey said. "Baseball Canada has done a wonderful job of promoting baseball in Canada and developing a program that has grown leaps and bounds over the course of the last 25 years or so.
"I think the exposure, Canadian players are now taken serious as far as having the ability to play the game. We were known as hockey players, and that was about it, because there was only a handful of players that had ever reached the Major League level when I was younger, but now they're throughout the Major Leagues."
Rounding out the class is Bailey, who was involved with baseball in his hometown of Vancouver. In 1978, Capilano Stadium was renamed Nat Bailey Stadium, which is currently home to the short-season Class A Vancouver Canadians of the Toronto organization.

In the popular imagination and in conventional discourse — especially in the context of highly charged news events such as the shooting of Trayvon Martin — prejudice is all about hatred and animosity.
Scientists agree there's little doubt that hate-filled racism is real, but a growing body of social science research suggests that racial disparities and other biased outcomes in the criminal justice system, in medicine and in professional settings can be explained by unconscious attitudes and stereotypes.
Subtle biases are linked to police cadets being more likely to shoot unarmed black men than they are unarmed white men. (Some academics have also linked the research into unconscious bias to the Trayvon Martin case.)
Calvin Lai and Brian Nosek at the University of Virginia recently challenged scientists to come up with ways to ameliorate such biases. The idea, said Harvard University psychologist Mahzarin Banaji, one of the researchers, was to evaluate whether there were rapid-fire ways to disable stereotypes. Groups of scientists "raced" one another to see if their favorite techniques worked. All the scientists focused on reducing unconscious racial bias against blacks.
"Within five minutes, you have to do something to somebody's mind so that at the end of those five minutes you will now show a lower association of black with bad. And so this was run really like a competition to see which ones of them might work to reduce race bias and which ones don't," Banaji said.
The results were as surprising for what they didn't find as for what they did. Teaching people about the injustice of discrimination or asking them to be empathetic toward others was ineffective. What worked, at least temporarily, Banaji said, was providing volunteers with "counterstereotypical" messages.
"People were shown images or words or phrases that in some way bucked the trend of what we end up seeing in our culture," she said. "So if black and bad have been repeatedly associated in our society, then in this intervention, the opposite association was made."
Banaji, who has been a pioneer in studying unconscious biases, said she has taken such results to heart and tried to find ways to expose herself to counterstereotypical messages, as a way to limit her own unconscious biases.
One image in particular, she said, has had an especially powerful effect: "My favorite example is a picture of a woman who is clearly a construction worker wearing a hard hat, but she is breast-feeding her baby at lunchtime, and that image pulls my expectations in so many different directions that it was my feeling that seeing something like that would also allow me in other contexts to perhaps have an open mind about new ideas that might come from people who are not traditionally the ones I hear from."
It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm David Greene. Good morning.
The George Zimmerman trial has generated conversations across the country about race and perceptions, both conscious and subconscious. And in recent years there's actually been a huge amount of research by social scientists looking into the question of why we view people the way we do and how our subconscious views can differ from what we think we believe.
NPR's science correspondent Shankar Vedantam regularly joins us to talk about the science behind the news. And he's with me now. Good morning, Shankar.
SHANKAR VEDANTAM, BYLINE: Good morning, David.
GREENE: So I think when most people think about racism, we think of it as being motivated by hate or animosity. Now, when scientists actually look at racism, is that what researchers find?
VEDANTAM: I think it's one model of prejudice, David, and it certainly explains the kind of prejudice we might have seen in America in the 1950s or '60s. But there's been a lot of research in the last 10 or 20 years, which really suggests that that might not be the main way prejudice actually takes place today. For one thing, virtually no one today in America admits to being prejudiced. And so you have a paradox: You have racism but not necessarily racist.
GREENE: What is an example of what you just said?
VEDANTAM: So Alexander Green at Massachusetts General Hospital once conducted a study. He had physicians evaluate patients and some of the physicians thought they were evaluating a white patient. And some of them thought they were evaluating a black patient. And what Greene found is that the higher the levels of subtle unconscious stereotypes the physicians held, the more likely they were to not prescribe the black patient with clot-busting drugs for a heart attack.
GREENE: Based on the color of a patient's skin, they were actually treating patients differently for heart problems.
VEDANTAM: Yeah. But here's the important thing, David. The physicians didn't act in ways that were driven by animosity. In fact, when they saw the results, they were horrified. They weren't trying to treat the black patients badly. What was happening really, someone complains of chest pain and you're having to judge: Is this person suffering from indigestion or about to have a heart attack? And in that kind of situation - where you're not completely sure - your biases can help play a very powerful role.
GREENE: OK. If there are biases like this found in doctors who are not showing animosity or hatred, I presume that these types of biases could be widespread. I mean what can we do about them?
VEDANTAM: Yeah, I think they're extremely widespread. And one of the interesting elements of this research is it suggests that these biases are held by the whole culture. Black police officers can be shown to act in biased ways to get black motorist. Or you know, women can be shown to act and sexist ways against other women.
There's been a lot of work trying to figure out how to reverse these subtle stereotypes. And I came by an interesting new study. Calvin Lai and Brian Nosek, at the University of Virginia, they asked teams of scientists to come up with rapid interventions that can reverse these subtle biases. And the scientists came up with 18 different techniques, which they ran on more than 11,000 volunteers to see which of these techniques could reverse these subtle unconscious biases.
GREENE: OK, so what did they find?
VEDANTAM: Well, what they found, David, is that teaching people a history lesson about the injustice of prejudice was completely ineffective. What did work was to expose people to messages that Harvard University psychologist Mahzarin Banaji calls Counter Stereotypical Messages.
MAHZARIN BANAJI: People were shown images or words or phrases that in some way bucked the trend of what we end up seeing in our culture. So if black and bad have been repeatedly associated in our society, in this intervention the opposite association was made.
VEDANTAM: And you know, Banaji told me that she's taken this message to heart herself. She programmed her screensaver to flash Counter Stereotypical Messages at her all day long. And she told me that one image in particular has had an especially strong effect on her.
BANAJI: My favorite example is a picture of a woman who is clearly a construction worker wearing a hard hat, but she is breast-feeding her baby at lunchtime. And that image pulls my expectations in so many different directions that it was my feeling that seeing something like that would also allow me, in other contexts, to perhaps have an open mind about new ideas that might come from people who are not traditionally the ones I hear from.
GREENE: OK. So is that the message here, Shankar: We should fill our days as much as we can with images that break stereotypes and are not what we expect?
VEDANTAM: You know, I think that's certainly what this research suggests is one way to counter these stereotypes. Now, the truth is these interventions are probably not long-lasting. You know, once you leave the office you're not going to see a lot of women nursing their babies at a construction site.
But what I find really interesting about this, David, is that the model of prejudice that this research is pointing to is very different from the model of prejudice that is based on animosity. What it's really suggesting is that our brains are like a car that tends to drift to one side of the road. And Banaji's point is, you may have to lean on the steering wheel a little bit in the opposite direction.
GREENE: It's a metaphor we can relate to. Just keep a little extra pressure on the wheel going in the other direction. Shankar, thanks so much.
VEDANTAM: Thanks, David.
GREENE: Shankar Vedantam, he regularly comes in to talk about social science research. And you can find him on Twitter @Hidden Brain. And while you're at it, follow this program at @nprgreene and @MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Netflix shuffles the TV deck with "House of Cards"
In Netflix's bid for a flagship original drama of its own -- a "Sopranos" to its HBO -- the subscription streaming service is presenting a high-class adaptation of a British political thriller offered up all at once, with its first season immediately ready for TV-viewing gluttony.
The show, "House of Cards," is a bold attempt to remake the television landscape with the kind of prestige project cable channels like HBO, AMC and Showtime have used to define themselves. But "House of Cards," produced by David Fincher and starring Kevin Spacey, won't be on the dial of that refuge of quality dramas -- cable television -- but streamed online to laptops and beamed directly to flat-screens through set-top boxes and Internet-enabled devices.
"It's sort of like we're the new television series that isn't on television," says Spacey.
On Feb. 1, all 13 hours of "House of Cards" will premiere on Netflix, a potentially landmark event that could herald the transition of television away from pricey cable bundles and toward the Internet -- a process well under way at YouTube, Hulu, Yahoo and others, but not yet tested to the degree of "House of Cards."
The show is no low-budget Web series, but an HBO-style production for which Netflix reportedly paid in the neighborhood of $100 million for two seasons.
"When we got into original programming, I wanted it to be loud and deliberate," says Ted Sarandos, head of content at Netflix, who only will say the cost was in the "high end" for a TV show. "I wanted consumers to know that we were doing it and I wanted the industry to know that we were doing it so we could attract more interesting projects. Doing it in some half way, some small thing, it wasn't going to get us there."
The revered British original aired in three seasons from 1990 to 1996 and was adapted from the books by Michael Dobbs, a notable politician and adviser to Margaret Thatcher. It starred Ian Richardson as a scheming, manipulating politician who shared his power-hungry strategies directly into the camera. With a darkly comic antihero as protagonist, it was a forerunner to characters like Walter White of "Breaking Bad" and Dexter Morgan of "Dexter."
Independent studio Media Rights Capital, a producer of films like "Ted" and "Babel," purchased the rights to "House of Cards" and paired Fincher with the project, along with Beau Willimon, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of another political drama, "The Ides of March."
When MRC approached different networks (HBO, Showtime and others), it reached out to Netflix about adding the show to its digital library following a run on TV. But Netflix wanted "House of Cards" as a statement show to launch a crop of original programming.
Sarandos says their wealth of data on user viewing habits proved there's a large audience for Fincher, Spacey and political thrillers. As licensing rights have gotten pricier and harder to land, and the streaming business has grown more competitive, Netflix has focused on adding exclusive programming to entice viewers.
"When you look at 'The Sopranos' or 'Sex and the City' on HBO, or 'Mad Men' on AMC or 'The Shield' on FX or 'Weeds' on Showtime, if you have the opportunity to earn your way into becoming that sort of anchor flagship show that defines a network, it's a very special thing," says Modi Wiczyk, co-CEO of MRC. "I'm sure going in, all of those folks that produced all of those shows said, 'This is not an incumbent. What's it going to look like?'"
A general spirit of rookie experimentation pervades "House of Cards," the first TV show for Fincher, the director of "Fight Club" and "The Social Network."
"I walk into this as a total neophyte. I don't watch much TV," says Fincher, who directed the first two hours and has overseen the whole series. "What was interesting to me was the notion of having a relationship with an audience that was longer than two hours."
Obsessively bingeing on a serial, whether "The Wire" or "Battlestar Galactica," has become a modern ritual in DVR-emptying bursts, on-demand catch-ups or DVD marathons. In releasing "House of Cards" all at once, Netflix will sacrifice the attention generated by weekly episodes to cater to these habits. Sarandos notes that in the first 24 hours that Netflix had the second season to AMC's "Walking Dead," about 200,000 people watched the entire season.
Netflix, being outside the purview of Nielsen ratings, doesn't plan to release viewership figures for "House of Cards." Instead, it hopes to retain and add to its 27.1 million domestic subscribers, a number that hasn't always grown as quickly as some Wall Street investors have wanted. (A positive earnings report Wednesday, though, sent the stock soaring.) The audience for "House of Cards" will be immediately global: it premieres in 50 countries and territories.
"We want to have a situation where these shows have time to find their audience," says Sarandos. "We're not under any time constraints that we have to get all of America to watch this show Monday night at 8 o'clock. There's no differential value in people watching it this year, let alone Monday night."
Transferring the tale from Thatcher-era London to contemporary Washington, D.C., held obvious challenges to Willimon, who sought to broaden the show's scope. The wife to Spacey's Francis Underwood, played by Robin Wright as a kind of Lady Macbeth, has been fleshed out. The reporter whom Underwood exploits to both his and her advantage (played by Kate Mara) is now a blogger.
Urquhart's great catch phrase - "You might very well think that, but I couldn't possibly comment" -- is plainly British in manner. But Willimon had the breakthrough that if he made Francis a congressman from South Carolina -- where much of Willimon's family lives -- a Southern drawl would make the phrase more natural.
Part of the thrill of "House of Cards," the original and the adaptation, is its use of direct address. Just as Richardson did, Spacey occasionally turns devilishly to the camera to explain his Machiavellian politics. It's a device famously used by Shakespeare in "Richard III," which Spacey fittingly played in a touring show before shooting began on "House of Cards" in Baltimore.
"I'm not sure I would have known how to play it because you're just looking down the barrel of a lens, but I had just had the experience for 10 months and 198 performances of looking into the eyes of the audience around the world," says Spacey, who's also a producer on "House of Cards." ''I really learned a lot about that relationship."
The timing is good for "House of Cards" in that it presents a corrupt Congressman at a time when Congress is viewed by many as the antihero of American life. A recent poll by Public Policy Polling found that Congress, in its inaction and party rancor, is currently less popular than root canals and the band Nickelback.
That makes Fincher recall his first collaboration with Spacey, who played the elusive serial killer in his film "Se7en": "Now that John Doe's in Congress, he's so much more evil," he says, laughing.
Yet Spacey's Underwood gets things done, a Lyndon Johnson-style practitioner of strong-arm politics. Willimon believes the show is thus one of the most accurate political dramas "in terms of how the real world works."
"We give you Francis Underwood, a truly effective politician," says Willimon. "Are we willing to accept that side in our politicians that can be ruthless and self-interested if the result is progress?"
An earlier Netflix original, "Lilyhammer," starring Steven Van Zandt, was created for Norwegian television, but "House of Cards" was made purely for Netflix. In May will come the highly-anticipated rebirth of the former Fox cult comedy "Arrested Development." There are also upcoming shows from the horror filmmaker Eli Roth, "Weeds" creator Jenji Kohan and the comedian Ricky Gervais. Another slate will follow in 2014.
Says Sarandos: "This is definitely just the start."

Rule #1 - Be Patient - Rule #2 - Don't ask when, if you don't contribute - Rule #3 - You have coding skills - LinuxMCE's small brother is available: http://www.agocontrol.com
That is good news! So how would I go about using the on-screen orbiter to control that particular TV? I have never seen anything in the orbiter control menus that suggest I would be able to do this. Maybe a silly question, but how would I turn the TV back ON again using just the gyro mouse? Obviously in this case, the TV will be off, so I won't be able to use the on-screen orbiter!
To keep this from getting you, always reload when your TV is off an there will be no problems. I'm sure eventually we will come up with something more graceful. There are a few bugs with toggle type control (with both toggle power and toggle input) that I plan on working on after the svn merge is complete.
Now this I'm interested in. My TV has both the toggle type power as well as a single toggle button for all 5 inputs. Needless to say it's unreliable. I put my usbuirt in the cabinet with the core/md and cable box where it intentionally cannot control the TV.
Regarding the USB-UIRT device, should this be connected to the media director (to which the TV that I want to control is attached to), or should it be connected to the core? I may also add a VCR to the system as well at a later date, which I would also like to control.
My core is in the same room as the MD/TV, although it is in a cupboard - is there any advantage to having the USB-UIRT connected to the core? Or will it ONLY work attached to the MD?
why does nobody listen to me?Get a Xantech 286 double emitter, connect to the back of the UIRT, affix the nipples to each device's IR window. If you need more than two, get a Xantech connecting block, a power supply, and up to 4 of the Xantech 286 double emitters to control up to 8 devices.*hmm* I do not want to repeat this yet again.

The Daily News of Egypt reported that the national administrative court ruled last week that the popular Al-Tet "belly dancing channel" be taken off the air for broadcasting without a license. Who knew that Egypt had a belly dancing channel? (Does Comcast know about this?) It is evidently quite popular but apparently offensive to some of the rising Islamist forces in Egypt. It is not clear how much the Muslim Brotherhood's party had to do with the belly ban, but what is clear is that no one in Egypt is having much fun these days.
The country is more divided than ever between Islamist and less religious and liberal parties, and the Egyptian currency has lost 8 percent of its value against the dollar in the last two months. Even more disturbing, there has been a sharp increase lately in cases of police brutality and rape directed at opposition protesters. It is all adding up to the first impression that President Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood are blowing their first chance at power.
Sometime in the next few months, Morsi is to visit the White House. He has only one chance to make a second impression if he wants to continue to receive U.S. aid from Congress. But the more I see of Muslim Brotherhood rule in Egypt, the more I wonder if it has any second impression to offer.
Since the start of the 2011 revolution in Tahrir Square, every time the Muslim Brotherhood faced a choice of whether to behave in an inclusive way or grab more power, true to its Bolshevik tendencies it grabbed more power and sacrificed inclusion. This was true whether it was about how quickly to hold elections (before the opposition could organize) or how quickly to draw up and vote on a new constitution (before opposition complaints could be addressed) or how broadly to include opposition figures in the government (as little as possible). The opposition is not blameless — it has taken too long to get its act together — but Morsi's power grab will haunt him.
Egypt is in dire economic condition. Youth unemployment is rampant, everything is in decay, tourism and foreign investment and reserves are down sharply. As a result, Egypt needs an I.M.F. bailout. Any bailout, though, will involve economic pain — including cuts in food and fuel subsidies to shrink Egypt's steadily widening budget deficit. This will hurt.
In order to get Egyptians to sign on to that pain, a big majority needs to feel invested in the government and its success. And that is not the case today. Morsi desperately needs a national unity government, made up of a broad cross-section of Egyptian parties, but, so far, the Muslim Brotherhood has failed to reach any understanding with the National Salvation Front, the opposition coalition.
Egypt also desperately needs foreign investment to create jobs. There are billions of dollars of Egyptian capital sitting outside the country today, because Egyptian investors, particularly Christians, are fearful of having money confiscated or themselves arrested on specious charges, as happened to some after President Hosni Mubarak's fall. One of the best things Morsi could do for himself and for Egypt would be to announce an amnesty of everyone from the Mubarak era who does not have blood on his hands or can be proved in short order to have stolen government money. Egypt needs every ounce of its own talent and capital it can mobilize back home. This is no time for revenge.
The Brotherhood, though, doesn't just need a new governing strategy. It needs to understand that its version of political Islam — which is resistant to women's empowerment and religious and political pluralism — might be sustainable if you are Iran or Saudi Arabia, and you have huge reserves of oil and gas to buy off all the contradictions between your ideology and economic growth. But if you are Egypt and basically your only natural resource is your people — men and women — you need to be as open to the world and modernity as possible to unleash all of their potential for growth.
Bottom line: Either the Muslim Brotherhood changes or it fails — and the sooner it realizes that the better. I understand why President Obama's team prefers to convey this message privately: so the political forces in Egypt don't start focusing on us instead of on each other. That's wise. But I don't think we are conveying this message forcefully enough. And Egyptian democracy advocates certainly don't. In an open letter to President Obama last week in Al-Ahram Weekly, the Egyptian human rights activist Bahieddin Hassan wrote Obama that the muted "stances of your administration have given political cover to the current authoritarian regime in Egypt and allowed it to fearlessly implement undemocratic policies and commit numerous acts of repression."
It would not be healthy for us to re-create with the Muslim Brotherhood the bargain we had with Mubarak. That is, just be nice to Israel and nasty to the jihadists and you can do whatever you want to your own people out back. It also won't be possible. The Egyptian people tolerated that under Mubarak for years. But now they are mobilized, and they have lost their fear. Both we and Morsi need to understand that this old bargain is not sustainable any longer.
