Even though you are consciously committed to egalitarianism and strive to behave without prejudice you may still possess strong hidden negative prejudices or stereotypes. You believe that you see and treat people as equals, but hidden biases may still influence how you think and what you do. Psychologists at Harvard, the University of Virginia, and the University of Washington have created Project Implicit and launched a series of tests on the Internet – “Implicit Association Tests” – that aim to detect any hidden bias in people’s attitudes.

“With Wall Street engulfed in the biggest financial crisis in a generation, there are a few things that consumers can do to protect themselves from this perilous storm,” says Gibran Nicholas, Chairman of the CMPS Institute, an organization that certifies mortgage bankers and brokers. www.CMPSInstitute.org
#1 – Make Sure Your Investments Are Protected Through the SIPC
The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) is a non-profit, non-government organization whose primary goal is to return funds and investments to investors if the investment bank holding these assets, such as Lehman Brothers, goes bankrupt. The SIPC will make sure that you recover the assets you hold in the investment account. For more on the SIPC, see http://www.sipc.org/
#2 – Make Sure All Your Bank Accounts Are Covered with FDIC Insurance http://www.fdic.gov/
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent federal agency that was created in 1933 to insure bank depositors and protect them against the failure of their bank. Additionally, you may consider asking your bank if they participate in the CDARS® network (Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service®). http://www.cdars.com/index.php

Leading ladies then and now...
Yahoo! Movies celebrates the release of The Women today with a gallery of top actresses over 40, and still in their prime. It proves your career doesn't have to die as you collect a few years, wrinkles, and botox injections. So who looks good and who looks, well, a tad plastic? Michelle Pfeiffer is 50 and takes my pick for best on this list. Check out full gallery here. |
