Re: [tips] Shame on Chris and David
Jeez, since when did having a PhD automatically confer an ability to handle anything? Not to mention OUR long history of tolerating snide posts that contain all manner of insult against women, gays, various ethnic groups etc. All made by the self-proclaimed cross cultural expert (I still don't buy this at all - being a member of a social or political minority doesn't make you automatically an expert in this realm) who in actuality is mocking, disrespecting and ridiculing the list, its members and its purpose every time he does so.

Re: [tips] Shame on Chris and David
Actually, according to a devalued definition of 'millionaire' (one whose assets total more than one million dollars or pounds) I suspect that many of us who are at or near retirement age and who have been properly feeding their IRA's would meet that definition, although the drop in the stock and housing markets may temporarily eliminate some. Two wage earner families would generate even more 'millionaire households'. Millionaires aren't what they used to be. To capture the original sense of the term, it might be better to define a millionaire as someone whose income exceeds one million -- I doubt that anyone on this list would qualify.

Michael- I've never been to a ski resort, especially in the Nordic/cross-country portions, where there were not children and, yes, infants, about. I'm not sure exactly why you are wondering about children and infants out in the snow- other than temperature they don't face particular dangers there that they don't elsewhere. Though it is true they don't thermoregulate as well and you have to limit the sun exposure, there are numerous products to compensate to allow families to include the little ones in the snow fun!

Re: [tips] Shame on Chris and David
1. Do we know for a fact that Michael is the old African-American on TIPS? How do we know? 2. Unless it is relevant, none of us on this list identify each other in an email by their race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, etc. Therefore you must have found some relevance when you used the phase, Jewish Tipsters. Please explain why you chose to identify some of the Tipsters as Jewish. 3. You ARE correct in stating, it is not indicative of a conspiracy... It is indicative of your ethnocentric biases that you have so often demonstrated on this list. 4. You are intellectually dishonest if you do not admit that your choice of the phrase Jewish Tipsters was purposeful and aimed at getting back at those who you, thought were out to get you. So, why DID you use that phrase?

RE: [tips] Nitops
Hi Joan, The weather today in Tampa was very nice in the morning and then it got a little cloudy. The temps hung around 72 degrees. Doug is one of several who helped and nurtured NITOPS. He looks handsome and quite dapper since he recently came back from England. Scott Lilienfeld was at a loss for words :) during his misconceptions about psych speech when he realized he was describing the Little Albert experiments and kept on referring to Albert as Little Hans. Annette Taylor's ( a TIPS favorite) soon to be published paper on misconceptions was mentioned several times by Scott. Wayne Weiten was his usual eloquent self talking about the price and contents of psych books. I heard about but did not see Laura Kings' neuronal demonstration. David Myers was excellent as usual for his speech. He is worth seeing every time. I wish all of you could have been there to enjoy the weather and these wonderful presenters.

Re: [tips] Consider extinction please tipsters
Hi A member just queried me off-line about whether I was aware that many people responding to this thread don't celebrate Christmas, perhaps hinting that I might be adding fuel to the fire. Such was not my intention. In case it is not obvious from past discussions on TIPs, I am a devout atheist and attach absolutely no religious significance to Christmas. That does not mean, however, that I do not harbour some of our shared cultural associations with the season, as I suspect do many of us no matter what our religious affiliation or lack there-of might be. Who cannot, for example, be touched by anecdotes of enemies at war making momentary truces to celebrate the season? Or by the extraordinary charity of many people around the season. If the comment did come across inappropriately, my deepest apologies. Take care Jim James M.

[tips] Mind-reading with fMRI
Perhaps it's time we got back to psychology. I was watching the (USA) TV newsmagazine programme _60 Minutes_ tonight, and they featured a rather breathless account of research using fMRI to (in their words), read minds. They (and the experts they consulted) assured us that this was not science fiction. I think it is. One of their experts was Marcel Just, the D.O. Hebb Professor of Psychology at Carnegie Mellon (nice that this American school has a chair named for an eminent Canadian psychologist, my old prof at McGill). Dr. Just provided a demonstration of this so-called mind-reading, using a _60 Minutes_ producer as test subject. As I understood what was done, they stuck her in an fMRI, and told her to concentrate on ten words (knife, hammer, etc), one at a time. They fed the fMRI output into a computer. The computer was then given a choice between the target word the subject had concentrated on and another word. In all ten cases, it chose the target word. This seems impressive except that it would have been easy to fudge a demo such as this, as the experimenter knew the correct choice in each case. I'm waiting until they show this under the condition that only the subject knows which word of a pair she was concentrating on. Just has a website at http://tinyurl.com/9pmyj4 but while he lists publications relating to the use of fMRI to study cognition, there's nothing there that suggests that anything like this demo has made it into print.
