Nuri Bilge Ceylan's 'Winter Sleep' Wins Palme d'Or at Cannes 2014
A big win for Turkey. Winners of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival awards, including the coveted Palme d'Or, were revealed at a ceremony today in Cannes featuring Quentin Tarantino, Adrien Brody and plenty others. The big winner: Winter Sleep, a three hour, sixteen minute long Turkish film from filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan, who last brought his masterful Once Upon a Time in Anatolia to Cannes a few years ago. Other key winners include Foxcatcher director Bennett Miller and a tie between 83-year-old Jean-Luc Godard and 25-year-old Xavier Dolan for the Jury Prize. Another excellent year at Cannes ends with deserving winners.

Discuss: Suggestions for Improving the Academy Awards Telecast
I'm sure you everyone out there is shocked to know that as much as I love the Oscars (the results of which can be found here) and more or less everything that comes with it (including my paycheck, of course), the show itself is something that I think could stand to be improved in many ways. Yes, the Oscar telecast can more often than not leave something to be desired, regardless of who you are, even if everyone involved in the production of the show always has their hearts in the right place. Some years we have better shows than others, with the same going for the winners for that matter, but I can't ever remember watching the telecast and thinking that they absolutely nailed it, and I know I'm not alone in thinking this way.
Check Out the Stylish Best Picture Nominee Cards from the Oscars
All right, how about just one more post about the Oscars last night? We already posted the video highlights from the ceremony for the 86th Academy Awards, not to mention the bittersweet In Memoriam tribute saying goodbye to all the great talents we lost last year. Now we have some cool artwork that viewers saw last night as the nominees for the awards were announced. The best pieces were crafted for all nine of the Best Picture nominees, where a minimalist style was meshed with the style of the marketing materials for each film. The result is some beautiful nominee title cards that should be framed on a wall. Look below!
Must Watch: In Memoriam Tribute from the 86th Academy Awards
Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that the 86th Academy Awards were last night, and 12 Years a Slave took home Best Picture while Alfonso Cuaron took home Best Director for his work on Gravity (which won plenty of other awards). You can check out the full winner's list right here, and also the video highlights and acceptance speeches right here. But the one part of the show we really want to separate from the pack is the traditional "In Memoriam" tribute honoring all those prominent names from the industry who are no longer with us. We've lost some truly great icons this year. Watch the tribute below.
Watch: Speeches & Ceremony Highlights from 86th Academy Awards
Awards season is over and 12 Years a Slave and Gravity went home with the biggest accolades from the 86th Academy Awards (check out the full list of winners right here). But if you didn't catch the live broadcast of the ceremony hosted by Ellen DeGeneres last night, we've got some of the highlights that you should take the time to watch, including acceptance speeches from winners like Lupita Nyong'o winning Best Supporting Actress in the aforementioned Steve McQueen directed drama, and a great speech from Matthew McConaughey who won Best Actor and again delivered the signature phrase we all love. Watch!
2014 Academy Awards Winners - '12 Years a Slave' & Alfonso Cuarón
The 86th Academy Awards are upon us and it's time to watch the show and announce the winners of the most prestigious award in Hollywood. The Oscar ceremony is being broadcast live from the Dolby Theatre with another returning, exuberant host - Ellen DeGeneres. Last year featured a vivid and memorable set of movies, from Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity to Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave to Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street to Spike Jonze's Her to David O. Russell's American Hustle to Paul Greengrass' Captain Phillips as the key contenders, among many others. Who will win? Time to finally find out at the 2014 Oscars. The full list below will be updated with winners marked as they're announced live tonight - refresh for updates.
Read on for the complete list of 2014 Oscar nominees & winners. Let us know what you think of the results!
This will be updated throughout the night to reflect the winners as revealed. Additionally, I might be adding a small bit of editorial commentary beneath each category. Winners are highlighted in BOLD below.

2014 Indie Spirit Winners - '12 Years a Slave' with 5 + McConaughey
The Independent Spirit Awards are an annual award given in the name of independent film, featuring plenty of those little indies which deserve the honor and recognition that, this year, they might not receive at the Oscars. The 2014 winners were announced Saturday before the Oscars, via EW.com, at a ceremony in rainy Santa Monica. The big winner this year was Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave, which swept the ceremony and took home a total of five wins from Best Feature to Best Director to Best Cinematography. These all always my favorite awards because they always get them right, including even Blue is the Warmest Color for Best International and Jared Leto for Supporting. Read on for the full list of Indie Spirit winners.

Let's Not Forget All the Below the Line and Technical Oscar Nominees
As you may have noticed in my most recent and final Oscar predictions, I didn't provide any commentary on the "below the line" Academy Award categories. Besides wanting to get to the actual predictions, I wanted to save some room for a full piece in regard to the technical categories. The techs are often the hardest to predict, especially the shorts. Yes, there are guilds to consider, but in many ways the Academy voters are never more unpredictable than when considering the non-major awards. Sometimes they go in interesting directions, other times they pick one film and vote for it everywhere they can. The fun thing here is how open many of these races are, which goes along with how unpredictable this year's Oscar ceremony may be.
Final Oscar Predictions Update: Big Show is Sunday, It's Now or Never
At long last, it's time for my final Oscar predictions. I'm going to keep things slightly light on the commentary, since we've been discussing this so much, there's really not much left to do but plant your feet firmly in one direction or the other. I'll quickly be giving some analysis for the major categories, but much of what I've said remains true from my post-nomination predictions. A number of races are likely over, but a handful of the big ones are definitely up for grabs, which has me both excited and nervous. There's never been a year where I've expected to do worse with my predictions that this, but that's the sign of a tight race.
Oscar Pie Charts Cleverly Break Down 2014 Best Picture Nominees
It's almost time for awards season to come to an end with The 86th Academy Awards coming this Sunday. We've had endless analysis from predicting who will get the nominations to who will end up taking home the prize, not to mention Joey Magidson letting us know what he thinks should win the Oscar, whether they were nominated or not. Now Vulture has delivered some Oscar analysis of their own, but in a very unique way. They've put together some pie charts breaking down each of the Best Picture winners, for example, how much of The Wolf of Wall Street was a Girls Gone Wild movie and stuff like that. Look!
Check Out These Cool Saul Bass Style Posters for 'Gravity' & Other Noms
The 86th Academy Awards are this weekend, and we hope you've been paying attention to all our awards coverage throughout the week. As we head into Oscar weekend, Graphic artist Geminianum has put together some pretty cool posters, inspired by the work of Saul Bass, that honor some of this year's Best Picture nominees. While the best ones are for Gravity, 12 Years a Slave and Captain Phillips, I'm not a big fan of the Dallas Buyers Club piece that uses real pictures from the movie (though it's inspired by The Man with the Golden Arm), or The Wolf of Wall Street poster that takes a cue from West Side Story, but cheaply uses the falling Don Draper from the "Mad Men" opening titles. Check out the posters below!
Watch: Recap Annapurna Picture's Year Two Films in 2014 'Hustle' Reel
"We saw some beautiful things here... some things we'll never forget." Let's kick off the Oscar weekend with something a bit fun. Annapurna Pictures, started by youngster Megan Ellison, has been producing some of the best films of the past two years. Looking back they've released an Annapurna: Year Two video called the 2014 "Hustle" Reel, looking back at Spike Jonze's Her and David O. Russell's American Hustle. I love Her and was a fan of Hustle. This also includes clips for Spring Breakers and The Grandmaster, two more Annapurna films which were released in 2013. The video (with the music "Firewater" by Django Django) was edited by our old friend Kees van Dijkhuizen, behind many retrospectives of years past. Enjoy!
Academy Advocacy: Who & What Should Actually Win Oscars This Year
It's once again time for some Academy Advocacy ladies and gentlemen, and one of the final ones for the season! But rather than delivering the normal awards opinions and whatnot today, this one will be a little more personal as I'll be dictating what I think actually deserves to win in all of the major Oscar categories. I won't be limiting it to the official nominees either, so these picks will vary quite a bit from what voters are choosing this week. We all have our preferred candidates, and I'm no exception, so below you'll be seeing who and what I would have voted for, as opposed to the choices that Academy members made. In some cases, they're actual nominees, though in other cases, I've gone off the ballot. More below!
Check This Out: Icon Infographic of 85 Best Picture Oscar Winners
It's the annual cinephile challenge - trying to impress your friends by recalling all 85 of the Best Picture Oscar winners of past right as we get close to this year's Academy Awards. Can you do it? To help you on your quest, a new infographic has surfaced for 2014 profiling all 85 of the previous Best Picture winners as circular icons. It presents a particularly sleek look at each of the winners, making us think a bit differently about some of them. Perhaps some are the best way to identify the film. Whatever the case, it's a good way to get us in the Oscar mood as we near the big ceremony this weekend. There's even a look at 2013's noms.

Mayor Daley explains the new gun ownership regulations while chiding Chicagoans for allowing the gun culture to flourish.
In response to the Supreme Court's ruling that returned Chicago's gun ban law to the lower court, Mayor Daley today outlined a new "Responsible Gun Ownership" ordinance for the city.
Highlights of the new ordinance include:
"We are a country of laws and should never be a country of guns," Daley said. "I encourage the council to act quickly."
Speaking passionately, Daley reiterated his claim that it's easier to get a gun than a driver's license. Daley also advocated for "immunity for first responders-fire and police," and argued that penalties for youths should be strengthened to discourage teenage violence.

Help me learn to swallow my pride
April 18, 2012
How can I learn to not take others' success/intelligence as an affront to my own?
I was a smart kid. Brighter than most of my peers. And I was raised to believe that made me special. Sure, most kids are raised to think they're special, but I seem to have taken it to heart, because now that I'm a grown-up, I'm very sensitive to other people correcting me or showing themselves to be better-informed than me in areas in which I consider myself reasonably well-informed.
This is exacerbated by the fact that I have bosses and peers that I'd like to have good relationships with, but don't always agree with. When I realize they're right and I'm wrong, it's very difficult for me to process, because my pride is hurt. When I have high confidence that I'm right and that they're wrong or when I feel it's a matter of opinion, I have difficulty, too, in making my case in a personable fashion.
I'm circling what my actual question here is: How might I better train my ego to STFU? I'd really like to become the kind of person who can swallow his pride with ease when a situation calls for it.

Meeting someone who knows more than me is the best part of my day. Now I get to become smarter by learning from that person.
Being wrong is almost as good, because not only am I now smarter, I have an intimate knowledge of how a smart person can arrive at the wrong answer and am thus better positioned to correct other smart people in the future.

Fake it until you make it. It's okay if your immediate reaction is to bridle at someone else's success or intelligence. But as soon as you notice that reaction in yourself, push it down and appreciate their success.
You are intelligent, so you know that you need to learn from other people and benefit from their strengths. Just act on that knowledge.

I think a lot of readers of this site will be able to identify with that. Taking the context of work, I would suggest breaking the problem in three:
- Try and avoid I'm-right-and-you're-wrong constructions: instead, when you think someone is wrong, ask a question instead of making a statement. So instead of, 'We can't possibly make more widgets due to the titanium shortage!', ask, 'Will the titanium shortage affect our plan to make more widgets?' Then if you are 'wrong', or missing some other angle, it's more of a conversation than a confrontation and there is no embarrassing climbdown.
- Use data as much as you can to get around opinion-based conversations. If an issue really is a matter of opinion, the most senior person in the room usually wins out, and there's not a lot you can do about that. Many times though you can introduce data and shift away from the opinion battle. Just be careful how you do it - as per the above, instead of saying 'You're wrong because my data say the titanium supply is fine for the next three years!', frame it as, 'I've had a chance to run some analysis, and the titanium supply looks strong. That might allow us to proceed?'
- When you get feedback on something that you could have done better and you think it's incorrect, control the instinct to say 'How you could have such a stupid opinion of my good work!' Instead, ask yourself 'What have I done or not done that this person could have an opinion I believe to be incorrect?' Much of corporate success is based is managing your image in the eyes of others.
And for what it's worth, you probably _are_ intelligent, but no one person can know all things, and successfully operating in a complex environment is about getting to grips with that.

While - as you know - it can be really hard to do so, it is actually an enormous relief to throw off the burden of being the most knowledgeable or most "special" in any given situation. Setting that standard for yourself places a great amount of pressure on even the most banal interactions, and you'll always feel you have to one up everyone around you to continually prove your worth. There's always someone plotting to overthrow the king, after all.
If you're able to lift that weight off, I think you'll be shocked at how much easier professional and personal interactions become. Something you can try on your own is reminding yourself as they happen that the goals of each interaction you're engaging in are collaborative at heart - you're not trying to impress your boss, you're trying to work with him/her to solve X problem quickly. You're not trying to make your friend Smacky Meehan think "Wow, anonymous knows more about restaurants than anyone I've ever met in this town", you're trying to pick a great place for lunch that will let you both enjoy your outing to the maximum extent possible.
Nthing that this is super common. For a lot of former smart kids praised for their achievements growing up, some of this anxiety can be traced back to internalizing the sense that your worth comes from being the smartest person in the room, rather than just being you. That isn't true, but it can be a tough lesson to learn without an objective third party. If you find that you can't make any headway on your own, therapy can be incredibly helpful with untangling this pattern of thinking, and your life will be happier for it.

I am (or, really, was) like you. I think part of the answer is that for most of us, this feeling can wane as you grow older; there's just too much else in life to get worked up over. Being right is not as important as being a good spouse, or providing for your kids, or whatever.
The other thing that occurred to me along the way is that there assuredly is nothing in this world that someone out there is not better at. You are not the fastest. You are not the foremost expert on Mid-East Relations. Someone out there knows more about Dr. Who than you. There are better singers. More successful entrepreneurs. Chess grand masters whose openings will be replayed 100 years from now.
For me, this helps to keep in perspective. I am not an authority on anything, though I may know marginally more than the guy next to me. I'm not going to argue with them; it feels like jostling over which legally blind person has better eyesight.

Always remember this: you're not living up to your potential if you're the smartest guy in the room. Period. Being around a lot of people who are smarter than you is a badge of honor. It's easy, as someone who learns quickly, to sit on your ass and coast along based on your natural gifts. You've done good if you've worked yourself into a place where you're surrounded by intellectual peers. You've done GREAT if there are a lot of people around you that are smarter.

One thing I find is really useful is to remember that opinion is its own type of knowledge that often has no "right" or "wrong" answer. Most opinion is nearer to a type of fact. Just a fact you did not know.
Someone isn't "right" for liking a particular tv-show, music style, food, or restaurant more than any other type of tv-show, music style, food, or restaurant. It's merely a fact that they do. Once they inform you of that you have more information. Pride, literally, has nothing to do with that, anymore than you should feel prideful for looking up the molecular weight of carbon when you need to know it.
I like to think of myself as pretty smart, and I used to have a lot of the same feelings that you did about other people's intelligence. For me what helped was really internalizing the following idea: "The smartest person in the world is not smarter than everyone else." By which I mean that no matter how smart a person is, their intelligence is positively dwarfed by the cumulative intelligence of everyone else. It's probably dwarfed by the collective intelligence of even a medium sized group. Our brains just aren't that big, and their too much knowledge in the world.
Finally, looking at my own life, mistakes, and follies helped me. It's also good for dating. True humility in objectively competent people is attractive.

"there's too much knowledge in the world." See, a mistake to be humble about; they're not hard to find!

I don't know if you can, unless you're willing to rethink the meaning of smartness in your life.
Because...you didn't do anything to deserve to be smart, really. Bit of lucky, really, one sperm over another. Why take pride in something over which you had no control? It's happenstance, not accomplishment.
I tend to think your worth as a person is more to do with how you treat other people. It's about kindness, respect, loyalty, and compassion. That's what's worthy in life.
Smarts is secondary --- you have to think about it as a resource you can tap to aid accomplishment, not an accomplishment in itself.
I mean, don't get me wrong, nothing annoys me more than when people treat me like I'm stupid. But I've always felt like being smart --- inasmuch as I may lay claim to that --- is valuable because it gives me an opportunity to do more, be more. But until and unless I avail myself of that opportunity I'm just another knucklehead.

You're probably not smarter than Richard Feynman was. He was sometimes described as the smartest man in the world. What his mother had to say about that was:
"If that's the smartest man in the world, God help us."
In other words, learn to get over yourself. Being "smart" in the sense you think of it here is not that big of a deal in the overall scheme of life, and goes along very easily with being extremely dumb in other other ways.
What you want to get is that when this is coming up for you, what's going on is that you are being self-obsessed and pre-occupied with "How do I look?" and "Where do I stand?" rather than say "What is the solution?" or "How can I best help the group?" That is probably not how you'd choose to be if you stepped back and made a choice.
Now understand that thinking that way and being somewhat self-obsessed is a natural human foible. So, yes you're going to catch yourself sometimes being a little irked that there should even exist someone like Dick Feynman who is (probably) in a different league to you. As it's a natural foible, it's ok to give yourself a break, laugh at yourself for that, and then get back to how you want to be, say: focused on contributing the best you can.
Also if you have been a jerk to people about such stuff, it might be a good idea to apologize and let people know that's not how you want to be in future. Maybe even tell them that because you very much want to change, it'd be ok and even appreciated for them to point out the behavior to you if they notice you doing it.
Expect that initially you'll be catching yourself more often after the fact than not doing it in the first place. But taking the time to catch yourself, and maybe if appropriate to apologize or make amends will be a part of the transition.
Also probably good to remind yourself from time to time of the impact this has on your and other people's lives. Even when you succeed at showing off how smart you are, you're going around in life making other people feel inferior and annoyed, alienating them and putting distance in your relationships. And I'd bet that is not just with your colleagues, but your family and friends and lovers too.
"Being smart" is not a problem. "Being constantly obsessed with proving how smart I am" is.
Another aspect of this is that if you're obsessed with whether you're the smartest one around that is quite likely a sign of insecurity. Insecurity about your smarts, insecurity about whether people get your abilities, and insecurity about whether there is anything else of worth about you other than your smarts.
Relax on all counts. If you need to, tell other people about your insecurities, and they'll probably say: "Gee, so that's why you act that way! No you don't have to worry about that, everyone knows you're really great." (And, reminder: these other people probably include your family and friends, who've probably had a bellyful of your proving how you're smarter than them anytime you get the chance.)
Finally, realize you're not that special in having this issue, lots of smart people do. In fact many people have some version of it about whatever they've decided is their central, defining, most valued (by themselves) characteristic. Thinking that it's special, down to your childhood etc is "more of the same". If you have a need to feel special, even having a special "issue" satisfies the need, and that becomes a reason why you unconsciously won't want to let go of the issue.

Check it out, this chimp is also smarter than you:
Can you do that as well as a chimp? Nope? But I'm going to presume there's something else you can do better than a chimp. Intelligence is a many-faceted thing.
Most people will be better than you at some things, worse at others. The presence of one does not negate the other.
Also, you shouldn't equate more intelligent and "better-informed." Someone who grew up in England is going to be better informed about the country than someone who stayed there for two weeks vacation, no matter their intelligence.

Realize that while you might be a hell of a lot smarter than whoever's in the room about SOME things-- no matter what, they WILL be smarter about other things than you. Whether it's taxes, fixing a carburetor, or the history of the Crimean War-- on some subjects you will never be the most informed person in the room. Even the six year old you're having lunch with will be better informed than you about something, even if it's simply playground politics or the Pokemon world. There is no such thing as the smartest person in the room, in my opinion-- there is just who is the most informed on certain subjects.
Also being informed? Not the same as being experienced. Knowledge and wisdom-- two very different things.
Once you stop seeing intelligence less like blanket, and more like a patchwork quilt, you can feel good about knowing a lot about, say, international relations-- but recognize you know nothing about, say, chemistry or cooking or human relationships. And that's okay, it's great even-- it means you, like every single person on earth-- has room for growth and learning. Something we can all bond over.
Another thing Richard Feynman, genius-man, said: "I was born not knowing and have only had a little time to change that, here and there."

Do something you know that you'll be exceptionally crap at. I have some fairly well honed analytical skills so i can process a lot of very complex information fairly easily. Sometimes I get extremely irritated when other people can't see what I can see either as quickly or at all. Unsurprisingly this can make me seem like a know it all dick, which doesn't go down too well.
Recently I did a beginner language course and by god did I suck. I mean, seriously sucked. No getting around it, no hiding it, out in the open and in front of everyone, sucked. And I thought I'd be great because how difficult can it be? I would have to be massively delusional to say i did ok. You can tell me a phrase and two seconds later I've literally forgotten it. No idea what it is. Five year olds would be better than me. And everyone was very polite and no one got irate with me for screwing up so much. They were visibly surprised and could see how frustrated I was but they were pleasantly supportive and patient.
Intentionally sucking can highlight very acutely for you how you don't actually know everything. If you can suck so much at something very, very simple and straight forward (with an audience) it will put everything in perspective.
Sure, I would've liked the ground to swallow me up and I don't think I could inflict myself upon another class, but at least now I know I'm really, really rubbish at something. It forces me to confront just how my intelligence is only one of many different types that is ultimately no better or worse than anyone else's.

I know where you're coming from. Your sense of self-worth is built on being the one with all the answers. As a result, when you are confronted with the fact that you might be wrong, you feel, deep down, like your self-worth is being assaulted. As a result, you get defensive and emotional instead of staying calm, open and rational.
It's important that you not be upset about feeling what you feel. It's something you've been raised to feel, and it is a feeling that has
served you well
for most of your life by driving you to learn. When you get shown up by someone who catches you in an error, the sting of humiliation makes you remember that fact, and drives you to learn more and more and more to fend off future errors. That's why you're the educated, skilled person you are today.
But now you're seeing the limitations of this emotional strategy.
You've gotten a lot of good advice, and what I'm going to suggest is a time-consuming and long-term way to work on the problem, which may or may not be what you're looking for right now. It has two facets:
1) Learn to be mindful of that instinctive, emotional, defensive reaction. When you are aware of it, you can acknowledge it, and choose not to act on it. Again, you don't want to judge yourself for what you feel, or try to repress the feeling. But when you become non-judgmentally aware of it, the simple recognition that "Oh, look at that, I'm getting defensive!" can significantly diffuse the feelings of fear and anger, freeing you up to engage productively with the situation.
2) Build up a feeling of self-worth and emotional security that isn't dependent on being the smartest.
Meditation can help with both of these things. The practice of mindfulness meditation trains you to be aware of your thoughts and feelings, both while you are meditating and in everyday life. Meditation can also help you to find a peacefulness, an understanding that the true core of your being is not your delicate ego, it is something that is completely impervious to outside assault—it can survive and be okay no matter what, even if you turn out to be the dumbest person on the planet.
You can find a lot of great resources on starting meditation in past AskMe threads, or feel free to MeMail me.

I've been there.
When you're a kid in school, the smartest kid in school gets an award. Or a medal. Or the highest grades. It's really easy to figure out where you are in the rankings, and there's only one way to measure it. There's only one top prize.
But when you get older, there's no single medal given out for being the world's smartest person. There will always be someone smarter than you. And even if there isn't, nobody will care that you're the smartest person in the world. In fact, more people will want to be friends with the person who isn't the smartest -- who has some flaws. Hanging out with the smartest person in the world can be really intimidating.
There are an infinite number of ways to measure your worth as a person besides intelligence or professional success.

I feel for you, I've been there.
Not sure if that applies to you, but the way I see it, some smart kids just grow up thinking that is who they are. Smart kids. This is their entire self-concept. I am the smartest kid in the class. Otherwise, I do not know who I am. When someone challenges that, or simply does not recognize my Superior Intellect, it may seem like there is no identity left. And that is scary.
If that's the case? reminding oneself that there are plenty of smarter people in the world may not necessarily help. That's exactly what some of us are afraid of, and we fight back.
What helped me, personally, was trying to see myself as a whole person, not just a walking and talking IQ score. Also, taking a deep breath every time I catch myself getting defensive, and consciously trying to let it go. Who cares, anyway? I still struggle with that but the more I practice, the easier it gets.
Also, spending time alone, without having to impress anyone, helped a lot.

Because...you didn't do anything to deserve to be smart, really. Bit of lucky, really, one sperm over another. Why take pride in something over which you had no control? It's happenstance, not accomplishment.
I was always a smart kid, and like many, it made me a miserable young adult. At some point I realized something like what Diablevert said; Why do we treat smart people as if they're better? It's no different than being born beautiful or athletic. Many bristle at the idea that someone is a better person because of their looks, then give that same status to smarter people. It's not the skill set you're born with that's important, it's the person you become.
From your description you don't really want to find the best answer, you want to win the discussion. This is a terrible attitude. You'll find that people are just leaving you out of things because they don't want to deal with it.
Being upset because you don't have the best answer is like being upset that you're not the best looking person in the room.

yeah, totally agree with StephenF--the right/ wrong dichotomy isn't necessary, or necessarily the best way to approach life.
i mean, i wish the world and people in it were that easy; i sometimes wish things could be reduced to a point where there is clearly a right and clearly a wrong answer to every question. but things are more complex than that. people and problems are more nuanced. oftentimes there are two very different approaches--two very different solutions--to doing something, right?
oftentimes, when i feel Totally right about something in a situation that i have reduced to a right and a wrong approach, it has to do with a lack of understanding. i just don't get where the other person is coming from. or maybe they just don't get where i am coming from, and seem uninterested in even trying to understand my perspective.
in that situation, it's often helpful to get an outsider's perspective. talk it out with someone else. see if you're suffering from myopia of thought or emotion. recognize that not everyone thinks like you. recognize that there are time you're just going to have to let things go.
it's good that you're owning that pride occasionally gets the best of you. think it happens to all of us every once in a while, and not everyone has the self-awareness or desire to do something about it. it especially sucks when the person with whom you're arguing is being equally stubborn about their position--they will not budge on their approach (recently happened to me).
what helps, i think, is broadening your POV enough to see who else in the room your dispute might be affecting. is the negativity your conflict stirring up making other people stuck in lecture with you super uncomfortable? in an argument, a lot of times there is no right or wrong solution. also, oftentimes, there are innocent bystanders!

One word: Curiosity.
At points like this, remind yourself that one of the most important gifts we humans have is the power to invoke our curiosity.

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
by Carol Dweck and it will most likely explain to you why you feel the way you feel and give you tools to feel and act differently. In short, like many bright kids, you were most likely overly praised for your intelligence and developed a "fixed mindset", which among other things makes you want to always have the right answer to everything in order not to feel inferior or like a failure (or worse others thinking that you're stupid). The problem with always having the right answer is that it is learned and pretty quickly you'll only move in the areas where you are sure to be right at the cost of forgoing learning new things (including being happy to be corrected because it teaches you something new). Seriously, read the book, I suspect you will find yourself in it and it will give you just what you need to change.

text: David Ortiz Selfie with Obama Samsung Marketing Ploy Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart Sports 2 Apr 2014 post a comment President Barack Obama's selfie on Tuesday with Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz was part of a Samsung promotion just like Ellen's "selfie" at the Oscars that became the most re-tweeted photo in history. Soon after Ortiz snapped the selfie with Obama, Samsung's Twitter account re-tweeted it to its 5.2 million followers. It then tweeted, "This photo was taken with a #GalaxyNote3." Obama may not have known, but he was a part of Ortiz's and Samsung's marketing ploy. Sports Business Journal first reported that Ortiz had signed an endorsement deal with Samsung and the Boston Globe reported on Tuesday that the company did indeed plan with Ortiz to capture the selfie with Obama. "We were thrilled to see the special, historic moment David Ortiz captured with his Galaxy Note 3 during his White House visit," Samsung said on Tuesday, according to the Globe. "It was an honor to help him capture such an incredible and genuine moment of joy and excitement. Similar to the selfie Ellen was able to capture during the Oscars, this was an opportunity for David to share the incredible moment with his fans. "When we heard about the visit to the White House, we worked with David and the team on how to share images with fans. We didn't know if or what he would be able to capture using his Note 3 device."

HPV/Genital Warts Health Center
July 7, 2008 -- Teenage girls who are sexually active and those who are not eventually all have the same risk for infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV), new research suggests.
The finding that early sexual activity is not predictive of future HPV infection suggests that using risk factors as a means of determining who should get vaccinated against HPV is not an effective strategy, researcher Amanda F. Dempsey, MD, PhD, of the University of Michigan tells WebMD.
Most women become infected with at least one of the more than 100 HPV types soon after becoming sexually active, but the infection usually clears up on its own. When infection persists it can lead to cervical cancer and genital warts.
The HPV vaccine targets two HPV types that cause roughly 70% of cervical cancers and two other types responsible for almost all genital warts.
"In our study, all women who eventually became sexually active at some point had an equivalent risk of getting HPV," Dempsey says.
HPV Vaccine Strategy
The HPV vaccine has been widely available for a little over a year. The CDC and the American Cancer Society agree that all girls between the ages of 11 and 12 should get the three-shot vaccination series.
But while CDC recommends vaccinating all women up to age 26 regardless of sexual history, the American Cancer Society recommends vaccinating all women younger than 18 and selectively vaccinating those between the ages of 19 and 26, based on sexual history.
The more sexual partners someone has had, the less likely the vaccine will be effective for lowering cervical cancer risk.
This and the fact that the vaccination series can cost uninsured women as much as $1,000 led to the recommendation, American Cancer Society Director of Breast and Cervical Cancer Debbie Saslow, PhD, tells WebMD.
"We never make recommendations based on cost alone, but we do consider cost-effectiveness," she says. "The vaccine just isn't cost-effective from a cancer standpoint for a woman in her 20s who has five or 10 sexual partners."
HPV Risk Examined
Dempsey counters that it is unlikely that a sexually active woman has been exposed to all four HPV types that the vaccine protects against, so denying her the vaccine based on her sexual past could jeopardize her health.
"Few studies have evaluated the ability of specific risk factors to predict future HPV infection prospectively," Dempsey and colleagues write in the July issue of Pediatrics. "This is an important distinction, given that HPV vaccines must be provided before vaccine type-specific infection to be effective."
In an effort to determine the value of adolescent risk factors for predicting future HPV infection, Dempsey and colleagues examined data on more than 3,000 women who had participated in a nationwide study of adolescent health.

Bright minds descend on Manchester for FIRST competition
Manchester Memorial's Zachary Marais of the Cruisin' Crusaders adjusts his team's robot during the FIRST Robotics BAE Systems Granite State Regional at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester on Friday. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
The tech-savvy teens spent the last six weeks designing, building and often rebuilding their robots while trying to balance strategy within the limits of physics and engineering. The 45 teams came up with a wide variety of contraptions competing at the Verizon Wireless Arena during the Granite State Regional Friday and today. Every round seemed to reveal a new glitch.
"We're right there. Another match or two and we should be doing exactly what we want to," said Drake Parker, production manager for defending regional champion Gilford High School team. "We're just working out the little bugs right now."
FIRST - For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology - added a new twist to this year's competition, dubbed the "Ultimate Ascent."
Instead of propelling balls at the targets for points, plastic disks like the common Frisbee were flying about the 27-by-54-foot "field" with a series of targets at each end. The higher the target, the more points the teams received for successfully getting a disk through the narrow rectangles. Each round started with a 30-second period when the robots had to operate autonomously before the team could take to the remote controls.
There were also a pair of 10-foot pyramids with three tiers worth 10, 20 or 30 points at the very top. Climbing the pyramid rungs can eat up a chunk of time during the 2 minute, 15 second rounds, so the common strategy Friday was to score as much as possible with the flying disks then guide the robots to the pyramids at the end for a final push toward the top.
Some made it, others missed out by a fraction of an inch when a corner of the machine was touching the arena surface. Officials dropped to their hands and knees to confirm whether the entire apparatus had indeed cleared the ground and successfully reached the first tier.
Manchester Memorial High School's "Cruisin' Crusaders" focused on pyramid points during the design and building process, but had to designed and planned around getting pyramid points, but were forced into a major overhaul on Thursday.
"We had one designed to go up to the third tier. It didn't quite work, so we scratched it and we threw together another one," senior Sean McGuire said. "It was kind of difficult, but everyone got together, put our heads together and were like 'That's what we need to do - and immediately."
The Central team opted against spending the time developing a way to launch the disks accurately, choosing instead to "dump" the disks into the lowest goal a few feet off the ground, rack up as many points as possible there and then climb.
Other teams took the disk route and came up with some creative ways to launch the objects through the goals. Gilford used a small wheel on a flat surface on top of the robot to spin the disk through a guide that narrowed to increase the force and spin. The Screaming Eagles' machine was on target during the fifth match Friday, firing off four or five straight through the mid-range goals. That was tremendous progress from an earlier match, when the team lost communication with the robot and was unable to control it remotely.
"It's been up and down," Gilford co-captain Dominic Jude said. The competition rules were announced worldwide on Jan. 5 and teams had until Friday to create a machine that fit all the specifications. Gilford's team lost valuable work time to five snow days, but was able to make it up - barely.
Parker said he spent part of Thursday night drilling holes where it wouldn't affect the strength of the structure, which was narrowly above the 120-pound weight limit. By Friday, it weighed in at 119.7 pounds.
"We were working on this some late nights," Parker said.

It was at that point that he became fascinated with using computers in developing design concepts. He soon became a member of the Society of Illustrators and worked with a number of the leading international advertising companies in the Gulf when he completed his studies. Eventually, he established his own company and had many successes winning awards for some of his advertising campaigns. After seven years however, he decided to leave behind the commercial sphere for more creative pastures; that was when Muharraqi Studios was born. In the short time that he has been developing his skills in 3D animation, Khalid has become one of the leading CG Artists in the region as well as gaining international recognition for his work. Aside from winning awards and getting numerous posts on websites and magazines around the world, Khalid's skills have been sought after to create 3D visualizations of some of the major architectural developments in the Kingdom of Bahrain.His long term goals are to make an animated movie and is involved in a number of projects, both locally and in Hollywood, but there are no limits to what can be done. The nature of the industry is continually evolving with the rapid rate of technological development and could drive us into a direction we cannot even imagine today. "maybe: "my mission is to get the world to change to the better and to make it a happier and more colorful environment for us all. Things will not change until we try to change them. We are the future and the time has come to step up and become it. Art has no skin or religion or belief. It should always be beautiful and that is what I aim for."

Relational Good at Work! Crime and Sport Participation in Italy. Evidence from Panel Data Regional Analysis over the Period 1997-2003
AbstractWhat is the broad impact of sport participation and sport activities in a society? The first aim of this paper is tackling this crucial point by studying whether or not there is a relationship between sport participation and crime. A panel dataset have been constructed for the twenty Italian regions over the period 1997-2003. The impact of spot participation on different type of crimes has been studied. Results show that: (i) there is a robust negative association between sport participation and property crime; (ii) There is a robust negative association between sport participation and juvenile crime; (iii) There is a positive association between sport participation and violent crime, but it is only weakly significant.

Everton maintained their pressure on the sides above them in the Premier League with a convincing and straightforward home victory over Blackburn.
The Blues sparked into life in the second half of a contest that had offered little in the opening period - with goals from Leon Osman and Leighton Baines via the penalty spot sealing a thoroughly warranted three points.
The victory moves the Blues to within one point of sixth placed Liverpool with five games of the Premier League campaign remaining.
The one downside from the afternoon for fans of the Blue persuasion was the early departure through injury of Dutch international John Heitinga.
He pulled up on 15 minutes holding his hamstring and was replaced by Jack Rodwell - himself back from a spell on the sidelines after an ankle problem.
Other than wayward efforts from Jermaine Beckford, Phil Neville and Leon Osman, that was the only moment of 'action' in a first-half which will not live long in the memory.
The second half was far better and started with much more promise - courtesy of two efforts drilled narrowly over by Magaye Gueye and Osman and a thunderbolt from Leighton Baines that fizzed inches wide.
Diniyar Bilyaletdinov was soon in on the act too as the home side showed increased attackung cut and thrust.
And it was little surprise when, on 54 minutes, Osman lashed a low effort into the bottom corner from 10 yards.
With the volume in the stadium increasing in proportion to the goalscoring chances, it seemed a matter of time before Blackburn's goal would be bulging again.
Gueye fired into the side-netting as the Blues continued to press and, when the French Under-21 international was withdrawn to be replaced by Seamus Coleman with 25 minutes left on the clock, he received a rapturous ovation from the Goodison faithful.
The sub was central in Everton's second goal, showing quick-feet to win a chase for the ball in the penalty area which resulted in a cast-iron penalty when Phil Jones slid into him.
Baines stepped up to smash home his sixth goal of the season.
A mix-up between Jagielka, Tim Howard and Baines with 13 minutes remaining gave sub Morten Gamst Pedersen a tantalising glimpse of goal but he fired wide.
It was a rare moment of worry for an Everton defence that had been untroubled and which performed with composure and quality.
At the other end, Osman and Vellios were unlucky not to convert moves which were a joy to behold. So it remained 2-0 and, with 47 points now racked up for the season, Everton's ambitions of a late surge into the European qualification places are still alive.

Great recipe! I cut out the actual peppers, upped the adobe sauce by 2 and added a bag of stir fry veggies (green, red, yellow peppers and onions). Made a beautiful soup! Tasted great too, sort of a sweet/hot instead of just hot.

razmataz25 Posted: 01/25/10
good base, but needed more seasoning. addition of onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper made a great soup.
crazy4sushi Posted: 12/20/11
super easy to throw together. had to doctor it up to my liking. added garlic, onion and cumin.
ttsholland Posted: 10/15/12
I loved this soup, so fast, so simple, the chipolte chilies and adobo sauce add wonderful depth of flavour. I added 2 cans of cream corn to give the soup more substance and tripled the chilies and sauce. YUM

MG and SWD in the final game is a fitting last chapter to MGs seniors rise from unknowns to champions……. more later…… but one new question arises out of todays games……will the good SWD team of the region championships or the barely interested team that played on Saturday…..show up next week…….yes they won…..but it was more to FPs physical condition and stamina than SWDs play.
Weaver or Hunt deserve 5A player of the year and Thompson 1st team 5A……. spectacular defense deserves recognition

Anyway. "If auto makers innovated the way we do," Lobbyist Frank says proudly, "cars would get 100,000 miles to the gallon and cost 50 cents." "They'd only be this big," Josh says miserably, holding up his thumb and forefinger. HA! Best line of the episode, by far. Not that this is saying very much. Josh begs the guy at least to spread the layoffs over a couple of years, but nothing doing. He begs for retraining, but the guy won't budge. "Is that what you told the head of your union?" Josh says as the guy is leaving. Lobbyist Frank says no, but that Josh can feel free to tell him. Lobbyist Frank is pretty confident that the union is probably in touch with the White House. Yeah, no kidding, if by "in touch" you're referring to the touch of the union's icy fingers around Josh's scrawny neck.
We move to the monitors behind C.J. and Toby, which are blaring out the farmer protests in Europe. Toby is telling C.J. something meaningless about playing footsie with Reuters on the plane, but she's busy sniffing out the fact that there's something rotten about the media ownership standard of 39.37%. Noooooo, you think so? You think that when a bizarre benchmark comes out of the air with a bunch of decimal points in it, it might be there to avoid cooking some particular interested party's bacon? Good God. Welcome to your first week in any political job. Toby claims that it seems to be a good compromise, since the alternative was 45%. C.J. questions the weird number again. Toby blows off her concern. "The FCC's totally independent," he says preposterously. C.J. goes on about big business absorbing local media and so forth, but just then, Carol appears in the door to tell them that Ben is stopping by. C.J. tells Carol to tell Ben he can't come by, but that she'll call him from the plane. "You're going to Belgium; he wants to make sure you don't sample the endive," Toby says with a smarmy wink. C.J. says that she can't become "one of those women who sits around eyes a-fluttering, waiting for her man." "'Eyes a-fluttering'?" Toby asks. "You know, parasols a-twirling," she says. Duh, C.J. Everyone knows if you do you're a-fluttering and you're a-twirling at the same time, you'll poke yourself in the eye. C.J. yells to Carol that she'll call Ben from the plane. Toby gets up to leave, and C.J. asks again why no one can explain the 39.37% figure. "You want to crack that code?" Toby asks. "Follow the money." Oh, good. Because stupid C.J. never would have thought of that. Money! It's about regulated companies who have money! Next, they'll be telling us that there are people who give of their own personal private funds to support political candidates, who then are allowed to meet with those candidates in person. Somebody dab my forehead with cool water, would you? With this pearl of wisdom duly dispensed, C.J. asks Carol to pull last year's media ownership records from the FCC. Because maybe...just maybe...dun dun duuuuun!

Energy Healing
Energy healing is a broad term that covers a variety of alternative health techniques that have one thing in common: They are all based on the idea that the human body runs on a form of spiritual energy called chi.

In 1990, President George H. W. Des économistes lancent un manifeste contre la rigueur. Deux économistes de renom, qui en ont assez de voir les hommes politiques vanter sans relâche la rigueur budgétaire, ont décidé de pousser un coup de gueule.
Publié dans le Financial Times [lien payant] et titré « Manifeste pour le retour à la raison économique », ce texte fait l'objet d'une pétition que tous les économistes sont invités à signer.
