Re: [tips] So, Is Anyone Going To Watch That Hockey Game This Afternoon?
Hi Personally, I'm glad that we Canadians have 4 years to brag on Tips about how hockey is "OUR" game! As for teaching-relevance, the NY Times today had an article about how the Islamic Solidarity Games (somewhat of a misnomer, it turns out) had to be cancelled because of internal strife over what to call "The Persian Gulf," "The Arabian Gulf," or simply "The Gulf." The writer made several points (e.g., lack of homogeneity within Muslim nations, allegiances to various entities in addition to Islam, ...) that might be relevant to psychology. Here is link: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/28/opinion/28karsh.html Certainly contrasts with the Olympic Games being held despite serious tensions between countries and even on the eve of World War II. And Olympics as alternative to warfare is possible them ... although that has overtones of the discredited catharsis hypothesis and is somewhat contradicted by examples such as WWII (although possible there would be more conflict in world without Olympics than with it). I wonder to what extent Olympics fosters dual identity responses in people (participants and viewers ... we are all "hockey fans"), something that has been shown to be associated with lower levels of prejudice towards outgroups (e.g., Americans)?

The same can be said of religion, to lump the tremendous variety, from orthodox liturgical practices to the highly individualistic practices of some christian churches, not to mention the interesting practice of lumping wild sex into religious practices (Rasputin tied his spiritual/ Russian Orthodox beliefs to some great parties I hear). Religiously conservative black churches in the US are sometimes hot beds of social liberal activism. And Catholic 'liberation theology' is radically left and socialistic. What is the common thread between all these things? Having a solid operational definition of these terms would help (there are some, not sure they are universally accepted). I suspect it is easier operationalizing spirituality that religiosity and atheism.

[tips] Hamas, Mossad, and Leo DiCara
The BBC reports today that the Dubai police are claiming that the Hamas leader allegedly assassinated by the Israeli secret service, Mossad, was killed using a drug called succinylcholine. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8541612.stm They correctly describe the drug as a muscle relaxant but incorrectly add that it was used to "sedate him" before he was suffocated. A sedative it is not. Succinylcholine is a curare-like neuromuscular blocking agent, and paralyzes muscles, including those controlling breathing. The subject dies directly by suffocation, no need for a pillow. Rather than causing sedation, the drug does not impair consciousness, and the victim suffocates while fully conscious. Nice. A similar but not identical paralyzing agent, turbocurarine, was used by DiCara and Miller (1968) in their notorious attempt to show that heart-rate could be operantly-conditioned. The drug was used to paralyze the rats, and so rule out the possibility that the conditioning was achieved by muscular movement. It was necessary to provide artificial respiration during the trials. Dworkin and Miller (1986) later reported that the positive results at first obtained in Miller's lab with this technique were not replicable. In browsing the literature, I see that DiCara (with Wilson, 1975) used succinylcholine in at least one study. Dworkin and Miller (1986) reported they used it as well as tubocurarine in their desperate attempt to find some way to replicate the earlier work. Wikipedia tells me that the main difference between succinylcholine and tubocurarine is that succinylcholine depolarizes the motor end-plate; tubocurarine does not. Succinylcholine also enters the literature as an agent used in misguided studies to treat alcoholism with aversion therapy. carried out at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario in the 1960's (e.g. Madill et al, 1966). In what must have been one of the most terrifying experiments ever carried out under laboratory conditions, subjects were paralyzed with succinylcholine to the point of suffocation, while alcohol was applied to their lips. They thought they were going to die. But it didn't work to cure alcoholism. Apparently it does work to cure terrorists.
