NEW YORK, NY, February 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) The manager of TDS Insurance discovered Islamaphobic vandalism on his store and reported it to police, reported the New York Daily News (2/9/2012). The apparent New York hate crime incident occurred last week.
"'Allah is s--t,'" said the anti-Muslim graffiti, according to the New York Daily News.
As reported by the tabloid, Bangladeshis in Kensington said they are now "living in fear" and "emotionally scarred" as a result of the apparent hate crime.
"Hate crime is not acceptable," said New York civil rights violation lawyer David Perecman, founder of The Perecman Firm, one of New York's civil rights violation law firms. "Everyone has the right to live their lives without fear of targeted hostility, discrimination or harassment based on their religion, nationality, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, or disability.
New York City reported 350 New York hate crime incidents in 2010, according to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. Anti-Islamic bias accounted for 22 out of 119 New York hate crime incidents (18%).
New York's hate crime law allows for enhanced penalties if a crime takes place in which the victim is targeted because of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation or other factors, regardless of whether the belief or perception is correct.

A new link between traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder
2012-02-23
Philadelphia, PA, February 22, 2012 – Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are cardinal injuries associated with combat stress, and TBI increases the risk of PTSD development. The reasons for this correlation have been unknown, in part because physical traumas often occur in highly emotional situations.
However, scientists at University of California at Los Angeles provide new evidence from an animal model of a mechanistic link underlying the association between TBI and PTSD-like conditions.
Using procedures to separate the physical ...

2012-02-23
NEW YORK – February 22, 2012 – Research on the relationship between teacher characteristics and teacher effectiveness has been underway for over a century, yet little progress has been made in linking teacher quality with factors observable at the time of hire. A recent study by Columbia Business School's Prof. Jonah Rockoff, Sidney Taurel Associate Professor of Business, Finance and Economics; Brian Jacob, Walter H.

A faster way to catch cells
2012-02-23
Separating complex mixtures of cells, such as those found in a blood sample, can offer valuable information for diagnosing and treating disease. However, it may be necessary to search through billions of other cells to collect rare cells such as tumor cells, stem cells or fetal cells. "You're basically looking for a needle in a haystack," says Sukant Mittal, a graduate student in the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST).
Mittal and his colleagues at MIT and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have now demonstrated a new microfluidic device that ...

Local cops on front lines against product counterfeiting
2012-02-23
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Contrary to common perception, state and local police are often on the front lines against product counterfeiting, yet it's unclear how prepared they are to deal with the growing crime, according to a new report from two Michigan State University criminologists.
Justin Heinonen and Jeremy Wilson found that local and/or state police were involved in nearly half of the identified product counterfeiting cases related to Michigan, which range from jewelry to car windshields to cholesterol drugs.
"Product counterfeiting may have links to terrorism and ...
Blacks with higher education and prior treatment less likely to seek mental health care
2012-02-23
WASHINGTON -- Young adult blacks, especially those with higher levels of education, are significantly less likely to seek mental health services than their white counterparts, according to a study published by the American Psychological Association.
"Past research has indicated people with higher education levels are more likely to seek out and receive mental health services. While that may be true for whites, it appears the opposite is true for young adult blacks," said study author Clifford L. Broman, PhD, of Michigan State University. Broman's article was published ...

2012-02-23
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – A paper from Rhode Island Hospital and Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit examines whether different presentation formats, presenter characteristics, and patient characteristics affect decision-making for patients requiring treatment for asymptomatic carotid stenosis. Based on the study, the researchers concluded that how the treatment options are presented to a patient strongly impacts patients' decision-making, while the patient's age, gender, and education level may also influence the decision. The study was recently published in the journal Neurology.

Is there a general motivation center in the depths of the brain?
2012-02-23
The results of an activity (physical or mental) partly depend on the efforts devoted to it, which may be incentive-motivated. For example, a sportsperson is likely to train with "increased intensity" if the result will bring social prestige or financial gain. The same can be said for students who study for their exams with the objective of succeeding in their professional career. What happens when physical and mental efforts are required to reach an objective?
