...tests, and each time they got similar results. Powerful-feeling people performed better than the powerless. Galinsky says the study's conclusions could have a profound impact on social-order ideology and business. "People say the United States is a meritocracy," says Galinsky. "But let's not be too quick to say that the hierarchy that exists today is a perfect demonstration of a meritocracy - that everyone is completely ordered by their abilities - because rank in a hierarchy fundamentally alters people's basic cognitive function." The findings further support the idea, for example, that disadvantaged socioeconomic groups remain entrenched...
...camp resident Li Baorong, 37, memories of the recent past overwhelm any thoughts about the future. When the quake hit her hometown of Beichuan, she told her mother to run out of their house. She told her to be quick, but when she looked back her mother, who was just a few steps behind, was engulfed in their collapsing house. "I regret that I allowed her to trail behind," Li says. Now she is trying to find the other survivors from her family, which lost seven members. "Where we will go next, I don't know," she says. "This just...
...Obama would benefit from reading the California court decision. At enormous length (nearly 30,000 words) and with great clarity, the court laid to rest all the silly arguments against marriage equality marshaled by the right over the last few years.

Eight Belles died on the altar of the quick buck. About that, even the most stalwart horse-racing fans can agree. Andrew Beyer, dean of America's racing writers, explained the death of the Kentucky Derby runner-up by noting that thoroughbreds are, in fact, overbred. They are no longer created with robust careers in mind; their life goal is a couple of quick wins in Triple Crown races, followed by retirement to a stud farm. "Modern commercial breeders produce horses in order to sell them, and if those horses are unsound, they become somebody else's problem," Beyer wrote...
...both charming but often sloppy and uneven.“Dance of the Four Cygnettes” was particularly disappointing. Though one of the most difficult pieces in the “Swan Lake,” the four dancers began strongly. With interlaced arms, they performed the same quick footwork beautifully. Soon, however, they fell out of line, lacking the critical unison that makes “Four Cygnettes” so impressive and challenging. But the “White Swan” and “Black Swan” solos more than compensated for the missteps...
