Scientific American: Watching World Series Causes Drop In Hospital Visits.

"The researchers determined that there was an inverse relationship between the number of people watching a baseball game, based on Neilsen television ratings, and how busy the ER was."

I could read something into this about priorities...

Also today, "The 'Masculine' and 'Feminine' Sides of Leadership and Culture: Perception vs. Reality."

"Cummings began her session on gender perceptions by asking the women executives attending the program to brainstorm a list of words describing female leaders. Among the words that surfaced: multi-tasking, emotional, empathetic, strong, intuitive, compassionate, relationship building, verbal, consensus building, collaborative and gossipy.
Then Cummings asked for a list of words associated with being a male leader. Strong, arrogant, intelligent, ego-driven, bravado, powerful, dominant, assertive, single tasking, focused, competitive, stubborn, physical, self-righteous and direct made the list. One woman marveled at the way men are capable of having an argument at work, then go out for a beer together as if nothing had ever happened. "Women hold a grudge," she said. "Men are passive-aggressive," countered another. "They sit in the bushes and wait." "Men have a sense of entitlement," said yet another executive. "It's a given that they will be successful."
