We started out by lining up on different sides of the street, then by saying our vote out loud. We've used many methods to vote, but most of them were corruptible by the party in power. But have we reached the pinnacle? Have we finally achieved the "perfect ballot?" Today, Dan Cassino of Farleigh Dickinson University and Josh Pasek of the University of Michigan walk us through the history of ballot design, the ballot fiasco in 2000, and how some ballots continue to favor one candidate (or party) over the other.Wanna look like the hippest Civics 101 fan in town?

#208 In this episode, I welcome back clinical neuropsychologist and founder of Biocognitive science, Dr. Mario Martinez. Mario is the author of the best-selling book "The MindBody Code'' and lectures worldwide on how cultural beliefs affect health and longevity more than genetics. His research demonstrates how thoughts and their biological expression co-emerge within a cultural history, even as current science continues to divide mind and body, and ignore the influence cultural contexts have on the process of health, illness, and aging. Mario has interviewed over 300 centenarians from around the world and who also live in 'Blue Zones'. People who are not only over 100 years old, but are mentally and physically healthy. Today we dive into what he learned from this and how our culture, people and environment affect our health and happiness long-term and what we can do to change it. Prepare to have your life changed. See you on the inside. About Mario: Dr Mario Martinez is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in how cultural beliefs affect the interaction of productivity, health and longevity. He is the founder of Biocognitive Science and the Empowerment Code. He developed an organizational model that views productivity and wellness as inseparable components of sustainable profits. The Empowerment Code is the first organizational training program that brings combined principles of cultural psychoneuroimmunology, cultural neuroscience and cultural anthropology to the workplace. Based on parameters that allow the immune system to make several hundred thousand decisions per minute, the Empowerment Code offers an organizational language that maximizes creativity, initiative and productivity, while diminishing conditions that contribute to chronic illnesses. Martinez holds a Masters degree in clinical psychology from Vanderbilt University and a Doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Madrid. He also has post-doctoral training in psychopharmacology from Farleigh Dickinson University. Because of his work in how cultural beliefs affect the immune system, Martinez has investigated alleged cases of stigmata for the Catholic Church, the BBC, National Geographic and Discovery Channel. He lectures worldwide on his theory of Biocognition and teaches Empowerment Code principles to top US corporate executives and to global organizations in Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia Pacific.

Founded by Bob Cacchione in 1967 when he was a sophomore at Farleigh Dickinson University, the Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association’s goal is to give college students the opportunity to participate in equestrian competition regardless of financial status or riding level. The organization welcomes beginners through advanced riders in hunter-seat equitation, Western horsemanship and reining. These riders can compete both individually and on a team. With more than 400 colleges that participate and more than 10,000 members, the IHSA eliminates the expenses of horse ownership. Horses for the local, regional and zone competitions as well as the IHSA National championship are furnished by host colleges. To ensure fairness, at each competition, students draw to find out the horses they will be riding, In this episode, Bob, the IHSA’s executive director, and Peter Cashman, the IHSA’s first president discuss the IHSA’s mission, how Bob started it and how it works, from the regional level to the National Championship. They also talk about the educational and life-skills experiences the IHSA provides as well as the camaraderie between students and colleges.

A little about our guests. They are both dentists, Aaron is a general dentist and Susan is an orthodontist. They met when attending Farleigh Dickinson University in 1985, married since 1990. They have 3 children, all are in college. Matthew is going to dental school and will be working with Dr. Mom and Dr. Dad in the future.  They always made sure that whenever there was something to do with the kids, one of them was always with the kids. They always had each other’s back. They truly enjoy treating children and working with each other. IF he wasn’t a dentist, Aaron would have been an architect. A little about their business. Susan decided to go into orthodontics and after working in a general practice, decided to become a pediatric dentist and become Susan’s best resource. After their residencies, they decided to start a practice in Randolph, NJ so they could share the responsibilities of the office and the home and kids. Aaron takes care of business and bills, Susan takes care of the office staff and day-to-day operations. Recently, they sold their practice but continue to practice dentistry without having to do day-to-day operations. One piece of advice (the nutshell version) If you work for someone, gain from those around you what they are good at and what their weaknesses are.  That will be a tremendous asset when you move into your own business. You must 100% trust each other in all aspects of business and life. Have the same philosophical approach and values as your spouse.
