When language switching has no apparent cost: Lexical access in sentence context
Bilinguals have the remarkable ability to switch from one language to the other. In a new study, Jason Gullifer and colleagues from Pennsylvania State University, USA, looked at whether language switching incurs a processing cost. They show that the mind has little difficulty in preventing such mix-ups between languages. When 26 North American Latino people were asked to read aloud an underlined word within a text that mixed English and Spanish, they did not think longer or make more mistakes than when the text was in a single language. Gullifer et al. conclude that voluntary language switching is a natural feature of bilingualism that requires little additional processing time by the mind.

Contrasting genomic properties of free-living and particle-attached microbial assemblages within a coastal ecosystem
In terms of environmental and economic impact, the Columbia River is the most important river in the US Pacific Northwest. To characterize the microbial diversity within its estuary, Holly M. Simon and colleagues from Oregon Health & Science University's Center for Coastal Margin Observation and Prediction and the J. Craig Venter Institute, sequenced total DNA from water in four habitats: the Columbia River's immediate outflow; the river plume that extends into Pacific Ocean; upwelling low-oxygen water off the coast; and the ocean bottom. They show that the Columbia River estuary is a complex region characterized by high turbidity ("cloudiness"), in which bacteria attached to solid particles suspended in the water are crucial for recycling organic matter.
Paradoxically, the turbidity blocks sunlight in these estuarine waters and makes it difficult for photosynthetic algae to grow there, yet light-dependent bacteria dominate these waters. These bacteria are known as photoheterotrophs because they use both organic substrates and light energy for growth and survival. They employ a protein that is related to light-sensitive pigments in mammalian eyes to generate energy from light, which helps them survive when nutrients are scarce. Habitat diversity, in the form of local variation in size and type of suspended particles, maintains the considerable bacterial biodiversity in the estuary of the Columbia River.

Age-related similarities and differences in brain activity underlying reversal learning
Memories are constantly updated because surroundings are not static. One way that researchers have investigated memory updating is with "reversal learning" tasks in which participants learn as association (e.g., Mary is angry) and then update their response when contingencies change (e.g., Mary is no longer angry). Kaoru Nasiro at the Center for Vial Longevity at the University of Texas, Dallas and colleagues from the University of Southern California, USA, examined brain activity in younger (19-35 years) and older (61-78 years) adults while they were engaged in two types of reversal learning tasks in an fMRI scanner; one involved emotion and the other did not (e.g., who is angry? vs. who wears eye-glasses?).
During emotional reversal learning, both groups showed similar activity in the amygdala, a region critical for emotional memory, and the frontopolar/orbitofrontal cortex, which updates old emotional memory. During neutral reversal learning however, older adults showed greater activity in regions that control attention than did younger adults. The results suggest that brain mechanisms underlying emotional memory updating is little affected by age.

Music training, cognition, and personality
Two key personality traits openness-to-experience and conscientiousness predict better than IQ who will take music lessons and continue for longer periods, according to a new study. A team of researchers, led by Glenn Schellenberg at the University of Toronto Mississaug, also found that when personality traits and demographic factors are considered, the link between cognitive ability and music training disappears. In separate groups of 167 10-12-year-olds and 118 university undergraduates, the researchers looked at how individual differences in cognitive ability and personality predict who takes up music lessons and for how long. They found that pre-existing differences in personality could explain why musically trained children have substantially higher IQs and perform better in school than other children.

The role of the primary auditory cortex in the neural mechanism of auditory verbal hallucinations
How can healthy people who hear voices help those with schizophrenia? In a recently pubished study, Kristiina Kompus and colleagues analyzed data from a functional magnetic reasonance imaging (fMRI) study, to show that those with schizophrenia have a reduced ability to regulate the primary auditory cortex using cognitive control compared to those who hear voices but are otherwise healthy.

May 29, 2013 ? Students preparing for final exams might want to wait before pulling an all-night cram session -- at least as far as their neurons are concerned. Carnegie Mellon University neuroscientists have discovered a new intermediate phase in neuronal development during which repeated exposure to a stimulus shrinks synapses. The findings are published in the May 8 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience.
It's well known that synapses in the brain, the connections between neurons and other cells that allow for the transmission of information, grow when they're exposed to a stimulus. New research from the lab of Carnegie Mellon Associate Professor of Biological Sciences Alison L. Barth has shown that in the short term, synapses get even stronger than previously thought, but then quickly go through a transitional phase where they weaken.
"When you think of learning, you think that it's cumulative. We thought that synapses started small and then got bigger and bigger. This isn't the case," said Barth, who also is a member of the joint Carnegie Mellon/University of Pittsburgh Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition. "Based on our data, it seems like synapses that have recently been strengthened are peculiarly vulnerable -- more stimulation can actually wipe out the effects of learning.
"Psychologists know that for long-lasting memory, spaced training -- like studying for your classes after very lecture, all semester long -- is superior to cramming all night before the exam," Barth said. "This study shows why. Right after plasticity, synapses are almost fragile -- more training during this labile phases is actually counterproductive."
Previous research from Barth's lab established the biochemical mechanisms responsible for the strengthening of synapses in the neocortex, the part of the brain responsible for thought and language, but only measured the synapses after 24 hours. In the current study, post-doctoral student Jing A. Wen investigated how the synapses developed throughout the first 24 hours of exposure to a stimulus using a specialized transgenic mouse model created by Barth. The model senses its surroundings using only one whisker, which alters its ability to sense its environment and creates a sensory imbalance that increases plasticity in the brain. Since each whisker is linked to a specific area of the cortex, researchers can easily track neuronal changes.
Wen found that during this first day of learning, synapses go through three distinct phases. In the initiation phase, synaptic plasticity is spurred on by NMDA receptors. Over the next 12 hours or so, the synapses get stronger and stronger. As the stimulus is repeated, the NDMA receptors change their function and start to weaken the synapses in what the researchers have called the labile phase. After a few hours of weakening, another receptor, mGluR5, initiates a stabilization phase during which the synapses maintain their residual strength.
Furthermore, the researchers found that they could maintain the super-activated state found at the beginning of the labile phase by stopping the stimulus altogether or by injecting a glutamate receptor antagonist drug at an optimal time point. The findings are analogous to those seen in many psychological studies that use space training to improve memory.
"While synaptic changes can be long lasting, we've found that in this initial period there are a number of different things we could play with," Barth said. "The discovery of this labile phase suggests there are ways to control learning through the manipulation of the biochemical pathways that maintain memory."

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) ? A United Nations spokesman says that Congo's M23 rebels have fired several rockets on the eastern city of Goma, killing two people.
The military spokesman of the United Nations mission in Congo, Lt. Col. Felix Basse, said Wednesday that in the past week the M23 rebels fired five rockets that hit the Mugunga camp for displaced people, killing one. Basse said two other rockets were fired by the rebels on the Ndosho neighborhood of Goma, killing one civilian, and wounding four others.
Basse also said that civilians in the territory controlled by the M23 are threatened by looting, kidnapping and other violations of human rights.
The U.N. is preparing to deploy a new brigade of soldiers to eastern Congo that will be authorized to attack rebel groups like the M23.

The industry is all a-buzz today with Rand Fishkin?s announcement that SEOmoz is relaunching and rebranding as simply Moz. They are distancing themselves from their history as an SEO company and positioning themselves as a provider of more general marketing tools, with a focus on ?inbound marketing,? the phrase that local Boston company HubSpot and others made (relatively) famous.
I couldn?t help but notice that Rand?s blog post explaining the change included a revision of a diagram he had previously used when discussing inbound marketing. Here?s the new diagram, which distinguishes between inbound marketing and ?interruption marketing?:
And here?s the old diagram, from Rand?s March 2011 blog post:
Notice anything missing? That?s right, brainiacs, PPC is mysteriously missing! In the new diagram, PPC is right next to SEO, at the top of the list - where I think it belongs! So what changed?
Earlier this year, there was a long thread at Inbound.org, started by our own Victor Pan, who petitioned for a PPC category on the site. Tad Chef responded by saying that ?buying ads is outbound?:
Ian Howells echoed this idea, saying: ?Not that I hate on paid search, but erm? the site is called inbound.org. PPC is paid media, which is the polar opposite.?
Martin McDonald then followed up on the topic in a post called ?WTF is Inbound Marketing, Anyway?? at his blog, which drew another long chain of comments. Martin disagreed with both Tad and Ian:
Now frankly, I?m in disagreement with both of the above. PPC is absolutely a part of inbound marketing by my standards.?My definition of inbound revolves around being somewhere with the answer when someone is looking for it, NOT sticking an advert for a product or service in front of their faces. That absolutely includes PPC!
This sparked another thread at Inbound.org, with people continuing to debate whether PPC, being a form of paid media, qualifies as inbound marketing.
The answer, as Ed Fry points out, really depends on how you define inbound marketing. Is it about cost of distribution, or context?
Some people in the web marketing space have suggested that PPC shouldn?t be included in ?inbound marketing? because you have to pay for placement. But this doesn?t make any sense.
The whole point of introducing a term like ?inbound marketing? is to create a more nuanced distinction than just ?free marketing? and ?paid marketing.? Any marketer who manages a budget knows that no form of marketing is truly ?free.? HubSpot, one of the first proponents of inbound marketing, sells a product that helps you do it ? how is that free? They know that if they called what they?re selling ? a platform for blogging and SEO ? ?free marketing,? it would? be a contradiction in terms. Of course, you can do inbound marketing without HubSpot (duh), but you?re either going to be paying someone or a team of people to do it (a blogger, a social media manager, an SEO specialist, etc.) or you?re going to be doing it yourself, as the business owner, and any time you spend on inbound marketing is time you can?t spend on other business activities, so all those activities have a cost. That?s why ?free marketing? doesn?t cut it.
It makes much more sense to think of ?inbound marketing? as the opposite of ?outbound marketing,? or ?interruption marketing,? than as the opposite of ?free marketing? (which doesn?t exist). By this definition, inbound marketing is any kind of marketing that reaches customers when they go looking for something to buy.
For example: if you own a local pizza joint and you go around stick fliers and menus under people?s windshield wipers and rubber-banding them to their doorknobs all the time, that?s outbound or interruption marketing, because you?re coming to them and getting in their face, even though you have no idea whether they want pizza or even like pizza.
But if someone in your area searches for ?pizza? on their mobile phone at 5 pm, and they get an organic local listing or a mobile PPC ad from your businesses, that?s contextual. Neither option is interrupting the flow of what they?re doing. Either way, you?re giving them information they were already looking for. Because PPC, like SEO, is contextual and query-triggered, it?s inbound marketing. Clearly, Rand and the Moz team realized this sometime in the past couple of years, and that?s part of why they?re changing their position.
Hubspot, who helped create and popularize the inbound marketing buzzword, has long argued that PPC is a marketing addiction. At the 2012 HubSpot user conference in Boston, Mark Roberge, a senior HubSpot executive, gave a talk where he claimed that paid search is not sustainable. Here?s a photo from that event!
I won?t reiterate the irony of HubSpot being a paid product. But I will repeat that all media is paid media. SEO requires tremendous effort. Thousands of new websites are launched every day, but the first page of the search results isn?t getting any bigger. In fact, if we look at the trends in mobile search, if anything, the SERP is getting smaller! That means the competition to get on the first page of Google is getting exponentially greater all the time.
And of course Hubspot knows this. After all, we?ve even done joint webinars together on how to leverage PPC. And they spend 10?s of thousands of dollars per month on PPC advertising to generate leads in a cost effective and scalable way, according to tools like SpyFu and SEMRush:
Ian Lurie pointed out recently, SEO is a zero-sum game. There?s only room for 10 organic listings on the first page (if you?re lucky). And if someone else takes those spots, that means you can?t! If you think it?s going to be easy to compete with bigger businesses who have been doing it longer, you?re crazy. And you?re even crazier if you think SEO is free.
I?m glad that more marketers including Rand Fishkin and I realize that PPC is inbound marketing, it is sustainable, and it does work.
Are you on board yet? And if not, why not?

A recent Gallup poll, discussed at length in The Atlantic on Wednesday, sheds light on how Americans perceive divorce and infidelity.
Gallup's annual Values and Beliefs survey asked 1,535 American adults about the moral acceptability of 20 behaviors, and having an affair was found to be the very worst, with 91 percent of respondents deeming it morally wrong. Surprisingly, a smaller percentage deemed polygamy (83 percent), human cloning (83 percent), and suicide (77 percent) morally wrong.
Divorce, on the other hand, was determined by most to be morally acceptable, with 68 percent of respondents deeming it so. Unmarried women having babies, sex between unmarried men and women, and gay and lesbian relationships also saw high percentages of moral acceptability, at 67, 63 and 59 percent, respectively -- all up from a decade ago.
Hugo Schwyzer discusses these findings at length in The Atlantic, noting that the prevailing attitude is, "'I'd rather be left than lied to," and that "it's not a stretch to suggest that the reverse would have been true just a few decades ago."
He continues:
The same Gallup poll that found near-unanimous disapproval of cheating also found rising acceptance of many other non-traditional, consensual sexual relationships. The new ethical consensus that you can do whatever you like as long as you're not hurting anyone -- and as long as you're being rigorously candid -- reflects a thoroughly modern mix of tolerance and puritanical censoriousness. We've become more willing to embrace diverse models of sexual self-expression even as we've become ever more intolerant of hypocrisy and the human frailty that makes hypocrisy almost inevitable.
We want to know: is an affair really the worst moral offense? Click over to The Atlantic for more on this discussion, then let us know your thoughts in the comments.
HuffPost Divorce recently partnered with YouGov to poll 1,000 U.S. adults about what they consider to be adulterous behaviors. Check out the results below:
The HuffPost/YouGov poll was conducted March 8-10 among 1,000 U.S. adults. The poll used a sample selected from YouGov's opt-in online panel to match the demographics and other characteristics of the adult U.S. population. Factors considered include age, race, gender, education, employment, income, marital status, number of children, voter registration, time and location of Internet access, interest in politics, religion and church attendance.
The Huffington Post has teamed up with YouGov to conduct daily opinion polls. You can learn more about this project and take part in YouGov's nationally representative opinion polling.

The Houston Ship Channel is home to a wide range of heavy industry, including chemical processing plants and petrochemical refineries.
Richard Harris/NPRThe Houston area produces about a quarter of the nation's gasoline, and about a third of the plastics that are in our cars, cupboards and just about everywhere else. So it is no surprise that this heavily industrial area has a problem with air pollution. But in the past decade, Houston's air has improved dramatically.
How that happened is a tale of good science, new technology and a Texas law that prompted companies along the Houston Ship Channel to disclose their emissions.
This image, from the Houston Clean Air Network Ozone Viewer, shows readings taken on Jan. 21, 2013, at 3:15 p.m., on a particularly bad air day in the region. At the Houston Clean Air Network's site, you can watch the plume grow and spread over the city over the course of several hours.
Houston Clean Air NetworkThe channel is a muddy brown body of water that is surrounded by refineries, tank farms and about 200 petrochemical companies. It meanders inland from Galveston Bay toward downtown.
Dana Blume is standing on the deck of a fireboat plying the channel. She's been monitoring the air and water for the Port of Houston Authority for the past 14 years.
Summer here can bring misery. "It's hot; it's harder to breathe," she says. "I'm fortunate. I don't have respiratory issues. But I do worry about my child and other children who play on days that it's a high ozone day."
In recent years, those high ozone days come less often, and they're less intense when they strike.
"I can look out of my office window now and almost every single day see downtown. And that wasn't the case 10 years ago," Blume says.
To get the surprising back story about how Houston's air got cleaner, it's worth a visit to Harvey Jeffries, at the University of North Carolina's school of public health in Chapel Hill. As this retired professor tells the story, air pollution regulators were on the verge of making a multibillion-dollar mistake. They were going all-in against one of the pollutants that create smog, while downplaying the role of other emissions from the petrochemical plants.
Ozone (often called smog) forms when nitrogen oxides react in sunlight with chemicals called volatile organic compounds. Regulators were focusing their efforts overwhelmingly on nitrogen oxides, cranking down on them so hard that compliance would cost $4 billion a year. Jeffries says that was a big mistake.
"If you spent the $4 billion, if you did all the cleanup, they were controlling the wrong thing and ... they wouldn't do anything to prevent the true cause of the highest ozone," Jeffries says. He made that argument to the state and local officials.
Jeffries said the most bang for the buck would come from cutting back on volatile organic compounds like ethylene, which is used to make polyethylene plastic. Chemicals like these are produced in abundance along the ship channel.
"You're talking about billions of pounds of fluids and liquids a day, being produced in Houston. And if you only lose .001 percent of that, it's a massive amount of material, and that was being ignored, totally, completely," he says.
Jeffries pointed to a massive scientific study the state of Texas had funded in the year 2000. Results from that showed that volatile chemicals were a big culprit. Happily for industry, they were also a cheaper problem to fix.
It turns out that routine day-to-day emissions were not the biggest problem. On occasion, plants put out large bursts of chemicals. That could be when they were starting up or shutting down, or simply trying to avoid a disaster when a process went awry. Ethylene gas is commonly vented to the air.
"Ethylene is more explosive than hydrogen, and they're making billions of pounds of ethylene," Jeffries says. "And that's not something you want to fool around with. If there's likely to be a big back-pressure or something like this, you want a safety valve to go off."
But when a valve goes off, tens of thousands of pounds of these chemicals can vent into the air in a matter of minutes.
If the sun is beating down, and the wind is blowing in the right direction, a narrow plume of smog can form. Because smog forms over the course of a few hours, often these plumes appear in the suburbs, miles from the ship channel. Usually, a bad-air day in Houston is caused by one of these narrow plumes. It's often not a citywide miasma, as you find in Los Angeles or Dallas.
Scientists linked those plumes of smog to chemical "burps" thanks to a Texas law that required industry to report unexpected events in a public database.
"And as soon as all of this became visible, voila, it got cleaned up," Jeffries says.
Just a few years after Houston had won the title of the worst air in the country, residents finally tasted success. Beginning in 2005, when new standards went into effect, peak ozone concentrations started dropping sharply. And in 2009, Houston ? for the first time in 35 years ? met the federal air quality smog standard, Jeffries says.
A new technology helped tremendously. Regulators and companies bought cameras that "see" in infrared light. Invisible chemicals like ethylene show up as gray clouds in this camera.
Jason Harris, with the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality, uses an infrared camera to find leaks at a chemical facility near the Houston Ship Channel. The specialty cameras cost around $100,000.
Richard Harris/NPR"We did some flyovers of the ship channel," says Jason Harris from the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality. "We attached [an infrared] camera to a helicopter and flew over the industrial areas and saw some pretty eye-opening things."
Barges carting chemicals up and down the channel were leaking chemicals that contribute to smog in the air. And some types of storage tanks were leaking as well.
Steve Smith from the chemical giant LiondellBassell says his company didn't want to lose its products to the air, so it bought nine of the infrared cameras, at about $100,000 apiece, to find its own leaks.
"We are able to fix things sooner and we're able to fix the right things," Smith says, since the cameras easily pinpoint leaks. "And therefore we can do the right thing sooner and obviously have lower emissions and a cleaner environment."
This also saves the company money, by reducing its pollution taxes and potential fines.
Larry Soward was one of the commissioners on the Texas environmental board during those critical years when Houston's air improved. He says getting industry to this point wasn't quite as painless as you hear tell these days.
"Early on they came kicking and screaming because it meant either major investment for technology or it meant major operational changes," he says.
Gradually, many companies came to realize that tightening up their leaks and reducing accidental releases gave them a competitive advantage.
But there is still work to be done. Houston, the nation's fourth largest city, still doesn't meet the federal smog standard most of the time. And getting there will involve more than industry.
In February, we met up with Matthew Tejada, who was head of the region's only nonprofit organization dedicated to the issue of clean air: Air Alliance Houston. (Tejada has since taken a job as director of the Office of Environmental Justice at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.)
Tejada drove us through the sprawling city. He said if you add up all the gas stations, print shops and dry cleaners, they actually put more smog-producing volatile organic compounds into the air than the refineries do. "The unique thing you have to remember, though, especially when you're talking about ozone, is a print shop can't release 100,000 pounds of VOC in five minutes," Tejada says. "One of these facilities on the ship channel can."
Matthew Tejada stands near an air monitoring station.
Richard Harris/NPRSo the little guys and the big guys will both get a hard look as regulators search for ways to ratchet back smog.
So will transportation. Cars are much cleaner than they used to be, but they're still a major source of smog for Houston. And people drive everywhere ? public transportation here is not much of an option.
Tejada says even if Houston can do more to reduce emissions from industries, businesses, cars and trucks, the city still won't be able to meet the ozone standard. The federal limit is currently 75 parts per billion ? and there are days when air blowing into Houston is already loaded up with 50 or 60 parts per billion of ozone.
"We're going to have to go out and find out where that ozone's coming from and make them clean up," Tejada says.
What's more, the city's population is expected to double by 2030, which means there will be many more sources of pollution. And, with the recent boom in natural gas in Texas, the petrochemical industry is poised to grow rapidly in the next decade.
"What's the bigger picture for the Houston region if in the next 10 years we build five new gas processing facilities?" Tejada asks. "What's that going to do for our air quality picture? I think we're very slow to look at the holistic implications of what that will mean for the Houston region."
But in a city that is dependent on the petrochemical industry, those questions get asked only as an afterthought.

I?m not sure Now You See Me is a real movie?I?m pretty sure it?s part of the massive viral marketing campaign for last weekend?s huge Arrested Development revival. Evidence: it stars Michael Cera look-alike Jesse Eisenberg, new A.D. cast member Isla Fisher, and the plot concerns both the theft of money and cheesy, Vegas-style magic?I mean illusions. (?A trick is something a whore does for money. Or cocaine.? ? GOB Bluth.) Here then are 10 certifiably real movies about magic anyway.
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
If they?d made that Arrested Development movie, and it was solely about GOB and his rival magician, Tony Wonder, this would be that movie.
?
Scoop
The ghost of a man played by a notable actor hamming it up (Ian McShane) helps a cute young girl (Scarlett Johansson) and her bumbling friend (Woody Allen) solve a mystery. Fun fact: Woody Allen wrote this in 1971 as a Scooby-Doo spec script.
?
Hugo
It?s about movies, and magic?but really the ?magic? of ?movies.? Awww?.
?
The Geisha Boy
Jerry Lewis stars in this Japan-set Jerry Lewis movie, combining two surefire crowd pleasures: dazzling magic tricks and casual racism.
?
The Escape Artist
This forgotten ?80s flick demonstrates the best and only reason to use magic: to take down mayors?bad, bad mayors.
?
Death Defying Acts
Guy Pearce plays the great Houdini, and Catherine Zeta Jones plays a psychic/con artist. Two sides of the same coin?one side just gets to wear a sweet cape.
?
Magic
Anthony Hopkins plays a lowly card-trick-based magician whose act really starts going places when he incorporates ventriloquism into his routine. Sellout. He is punished for his crimes when the magic turns real, and the dummy starts getting all murdery, as it goes. It?s the scariest Anthony Hopkins movie since The Human Stain.
?
The Great Buck Howard
Magicians endure a sometimes unfair image as being kind of creepy, which is why they cast John Malkovich in this probably.
?
The Prestige
Once in a great while, a weird thing happens in Hollywood where two movies with very, very similar, and very specific plots are developed and released at almost the exact same time. In 1997, the volcano-based Volcano and Dante?s Peak came out; a year later, it was asteroid movies Deep Impact and Armageddon. In 2006, the film community inexplicably decided that the world needed two movies about 19th century magicians. The Prestige was the one with David Bowie playing Nikola Tesla.
?
The Illusionist
Or was it this one?

Compared to these animals, us humans are just so boring. What do we do when we're scared? Run away. What do we do when we're hungry? Go to the supermarket. What do we do when we're outside? Complain about the weather. Well, these animals and bugs can shoot napalm, break bones for claws and so much more.

BEIJING (AP) ? Authorities have concluded that a newborn rescued from a sewer pipe in eastern China became trapped because of an accident. They say there will be no criminal charges against the mother ? who did not initially come forward to claim the baby.
They also say the baby has been released from a hospital into the care of the mother and a man claiming to be his father.
An official at eastern China's Pujiang county's propaganda office said Thursday that police concluded the unwed woman did not initially step forward out of fright. The official did not give his name, as is common among Chinese bureaucrats.
The unnamed woman secretly delivered the child Saturday in a rental building's restroom. She later claimed the infant accidentally slipped into the squat toilet.

CORVALLIS, Oregon (Reuters) - An Oregon teenager arrested on suspicion of making explosives and plotting what police said was a Columbine-style attack on his high school was due in court on Tuesday to face charges in the case.
Grant Acord, 17, was taken into custody at his mother's home on Thursday after police got a tip that he had produced a bomb and was planning to detonate it at West Albany High School, some 70 miles southwest of Portland.
A search of the residence in north Albany turned up six home-made explosives, including pipe bombs, Molotov cocktails and napalm bombs under the floorboards of Acord's bedroom, authorities say.
Prosecutors were expected to file attempted murder charges against Acord at the afternoon hearing in Corvallis, Oregon. Under Oregon law, he would be tried as an adult.
A Corvallis criminal defense lawyer for Acord could not be reached for comment on Tuesday.
"My heart goes out to everyone affected by Grant's struggle with PANDAS, a rare form of OCD," the boy's mother, Marianne Fox, said in a statement released through her attorney, Alan Lanker.
"I grieve for my son, but understand and support the efforts of law enforcement to keep our beloved community safe," Fox said. "This is a challenging and confusing time for everyone who knows Grant. I will have no further comment while I wait with the rest of you to see what unfolds."
Lanker said that Acord's parents were divorced and that the boy lives primarily with his mother.
In their search of the residence, officers also discovered diagrams of the high school, which "led us toward the conclusion that he was planning a Columbine-style attack," according to Captain Eric Carter of the Albany Police Department.
Carter was referring to the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School near Littleton, Colorado, in which two teenagers armed with guns and home-made bombs killed a teacher and 12 other students before committing suicide.
"He was definitely following a detailed checklist," Carter said of Acord. "It appears he had a systematic, well-documented plan, this was not just an errant note."
According to the website of the International OCD Foundation, PANDAS stands for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus. It says the disorder is caused by an immune reaction to strep and the symptoms are similar to those of childhood obsessive compulsive disorder and tic disorders.

May 28, 2013 ? The Hubble Space Telescope has captured the image of an unusual galaxy -- a beautiful, glittering swirl named, rather un-poetically, J125013.50+073441.5. A glowing haze of material seems to engulf the galaxy, stretching out into space in different directions and forming a fuzzy streak in this image. It is a starburst galaxy -- a name given to galaxies that show unusually high rates of star formation. The regions where new stars are being born are highlighted by sparkling bright blue regions along the galactic arms.
Studying starburst galaxies can tell us a lot about galactic evolution and star formation. These galaxies start off with huge amounts of gas, which is used to form new stars. This period of furious star formation is only a phase; once all the gas is used up, this star birth slows down. Other famous starbursts captured by Hubble include the Antennae Galaxies and Messier 82, the latter of which is forming new stars ten times faster than our galaxy, the Milky Way.
The data for this image were collected using Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 as part of a study named LARS (Lyman Alpha Reference Sample), which is investigating the interaction between radiation and matter in relatively nearby starburst galaxies.

NASA's Aqua satellite captured an image of System 92E, a tropical low pressure area that is ripe for development into a tropical depression and tropical storm, as it continues to develop near to southwestern Mexico.
System 92E may organize more and become Tropical Storm Barbara later on May 28 as it continues organizing near the southwestern Mexican coast. When NASA's Aqua satellite flew over System 92E on May 28 at 07:17 UTC (3:17 a.m. EDT), the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument aboard Aqua captured an infrared image of the storm. AIRS measured cloud top temperatures as cold as -63 Fahrenheit (-52 Celsius), that were indicative of high, strong thunderstorms with the potential to drop heavy rain. Those storms stretched over open waters west of Punta Escondida southward to Salina Cruz.
System 92E appears almost stationary, and the National Hurricane Center (NHC) expects the low to continue consolidating. Shower and thunderstorm activity continues to gradually increase today, May 28. System 92E's center is about 200 miles south of Salina Cruz, Mexico.
The NHC expects System 92E to become Tropical Storm Barbara late in the day on May 28, before it makes landfall later along the southwestern coast of Mexico. Tropical Storm Warnings could be posted later in the day and heavy rains are expected over southern Mexico and western Central America during the next few days.
