What is Facebook Graph Search, and will it help stalkers find me?

The highly anticipated and extremely confusing Facebook Graph Search feature is now in effect for U.S. Facebook users who post in English. If you don't have the Graph Search feature on your Facebook page, you will within the next three weeks. You've heard about Graph Search for months, but it's kind of a difficult concept to explain, and you didn't have it anyway so who cares. Now you do have Facebook Graph Search -- and it has you, to submit you as a search result to people you do not know.

If you're among the thousands who got Facebook Graph Search capabilities yesterday, go ahead and fool around with it to see how it works. More importantly, fool around with your privacy settings so the damned thing doesn't get creepier than OKCupid the day before Valentine's Day.

Let's take a look at what Facebook Graph Search does, and what you can do to minimize unwanted romantic solicitations or lingerie picture embarrassment.

Facebook is launching Facebook Graph Search to all English-speaking U.S. users, beginning this week. It's a little different from the standard Facebook text search you're used to. The search bar even looks different -- it's now white with a blue background, instead of grey on blue.

Graph Search doesn't just search for text words. It combines numerous text searches for you into a single broad thematic search, and gives you more search results than you could ever have had displayed before. Graph Search will show you results for your friends, friends of friends, or anything marked "Public".

So if you showed people your boobs at Burning Man that one time, you'll want to take that picture down or else mark it as "Private".

Just for kicks, I tried a Graph Search on "Single Christians who like Neil Diamond". I got dozens of results -- not one of whom was a friend of mine, nor a friend of a friend. So your privacy settings on Facebook matter more than ever, because stalkers can now find you based on interests instead of just your name or location.

How to change these privacy settings? If you've always ignored your Facebook privacy settings, no may be the time to pay attention to them.

On your Facebook profile page, click on Activity Log. This will display everything you've done on Facebook, and it scrolls down far enough that it does show literally everything. If there's anything you don't want to be public, click the little icons to the right of that statement, comment or picture to make it private.

You'll want to go through your photos as well, and mark anything you're not comfortable with as "Private". If you want to know what I mean, try performing a Graph Search on "Pictures of Single Women". Consider the results you see. And then consider that ten thousand creepers are currently performing the exact same search, and getting very similar results.

Facebook Graph Search does not intend to violate your privacy -- it intends to simply sell more advertising on Facebook. Just be careful with your settings, because Facebook will always remember that time you showed people your boobs at Burning Man.

Choral Singers Sync Heartbeats

60-Second Science

Because phrasing requires synchronous respiration, choral singers also sync up their heartbeats, which may add to the group feeling of unison. Sophie Bushwick reports.

More 60-Second Science

Music. It can tug at our hearts. Perhaps even literally. Because when people sing together, their hearts begin to beat in sync with each other. [Bj?rn Vickhoff et al, Music structure determines heart rate variability of singers]

Researchers monitored the heart rates of 15 teenagers as they produced sounds solo. The participants either hummed one note or sang a hymn while breathing whenever they wanted. They also performed a mantra that required them to breath only at the end of each phrase. Then the exercises were repeated by groups of five subjects all singing at once. And when the subjects performed regular song structures in unison, their heart rates slowed down and sped up at the same time.

Vocal performances impose set breathing patterns, which regulate and synchronize heartbeats. According to the researchers, choral participation can thus improve well-being. It not only tones the cardiovascular system, but also produces the same relaxing effect as breathing exercises practiced in yoga. So music truly soothes the savage breast?or at least, the heart beating inside it.

Support Coming for Chinese Plane Crash Survivors

The Chinese students involved in Saturday?s harrowing crash landing in San Francisco will soon get some additional support.

A group of 17 family members, school administrators and local government officials from their area left on Monday morning with plans to fly to San Francisco later in the day, according to officials at the school the students attended. The group includes family members of the two dead girls and those of two badly injured ones.

South Korea?s Asiana Airlines has identified the dead girls as Wang Linjia and Ye Mengyuan, both 16 years old.

The family and officials were leaving from Jiangshan, the county in China?s eastern Zhejiang province where the school is based. Once in the U.S., the administrators plan to assess the next step for the students, many of whom lost luggage and personal effects like glasses and mobile phones.

Nicknamed Jiangzhong, the school is a multi-building complex of gray brick with a sports track in the center. The well-regarded school is relatively large with enrollment of up to 800 students each year, but on Monday was quiet for the summer holidays. Aside from a contingent of reporters, there was little sign on campus of the tragedy that involved its students.
