Many of you expressed surprise that I would like such an ad campaign, especially since I'm a self-identifying Smarty. A few commenters also made the very valid points that the some of the "stupid" behavior that women were engaging in these ads was sexualized (flashing a security camera, taking a picture of their lady parts) while the men in these ads were doing silly, creative things.
A few readers also made comments that leaning out of car windows and flashing cameras "aren't things that a smart woman would do."
All of these responses are really, really interesting to me. As I said in the post itself, the ads appeal to me because I've never felt pressured to hide my intelligence under the proverbial bushel, nor have I ever felt ostracized for being bright. I have, however, had my own personal struggles to embrace the more impetuous, less cerebral aspects of life and these ads encourage me to live a little, in a way that registers with me.
So I'd love to hear what you kids think about intelligence. What does 'intelligence' even mean?
Once you're out of school and you're no longer being graded on material, how do you measure intelligence? How do you know when someone you're interacting with is intelligent?
And in terms of these ads: do you think that risk-taking and intelligence are mutually exclusive? How does intelligence manifest in someone's behavior? Surely we all know PhD candidates who can't balance their bank account or follow a recipe. And I'm sure we all know people who flunked out of school but are leading amazing, successful lives.
What do you think intelligence means? Do you consider yourself to be intelligent? Why?

Roommate Success Guide
You are here
Roommate Success Guide
Congratulations, your college years have begun! Many new and different experiences await you. An important part of college is learning to get along with others by developing an awareness and appreciation for other lifestyles and values. One of the first opportunities you will have is establishing close relationships with others. The time you will also learn about living in a community will be when you move into your room! The information below is designed to assist you in building a positive relationship with your roommate.
Also be sure to look at Emily Post's tips for roommate success.
The Guide to Positive Roommate Relations
Having a positive relationship with your roommate depends on each of you trying to make an honest attempt to get know the other. When students are placed in a residence hall they must prepare for this new experience with an open mind and an appreciation for those differences that exist in each person's background. The following information is designed to assist you in practicing the important communication skills of careful listening, open and honest feedback, and reaching a mutually agreed upon living arrangement.
Part I: About My Background
During the first couple of days at Delaware State, sit down with your roommate and begin to get to know each other. Even if you have been friends before coming to school, it is important to start getting to know each other as roommates. If you have just met your roommate it can be difficult to begin sharing, but start with the basics.
Some suggested topics for "breaking the ice":
- Discuss your family backgrounds and hometowns.
- Share you reasons for choosing Delaware State University.
- Describe your neighborhood, your high school friends, and your best friends.
- Explain your hobbies, interests, and activities.
- Answer the questions: What will you miss most while being away from home? What will you miss the least?
Part II: Personal Preferences
Once you have covered the basics about each other, you are ready to move into more serious areas of concern for roommates. Living in the same room does not mean that you must do everything together nor will you necessarily be the best of friends, but you do have to develop the ability to communicate with each other and adapt to each other's lifestyle. Discuss the following questions with each other.
- Discuss your sleeping habits (i.e., weekdays, weekend, etc.).
- Discuss what kind of sense of humor you have (e.g., silly, sarcastic, etc.).
- What time do you typically come home by? (e.g., before midnight, after midnight, 2:00 am) Discuss how to handle late nights and evenings.
- Discuss issues about the noise level in the room (e.g., TV, radio, studying, sleeping, etc.).
- How much TV do you watch and what kinds of shows do you like to watch?
- Does it bother you if your roommate watches TV when you are in the room? (Give examples when it would/would not be okay).
- Discuss what state you like the room to be in (e.g., very neat, messy, etc.)
- What kind of music do you listen to? Are there any types of music that you dislike?
- Where do you like to study?
- What belongings of yours are you willing to share? If so, what are the ground rules?
- How do you feel about the use of drugs/alcohol?
- Do you smoke? (Keep in mind, residents cannot smoke in the residence halls.)
- What are your spiritual or religious values?
- What are some of your habits that a roommate might need to know?
- What guidelines should be set for guests in the room? Under what circumstances can someone else stay in the room? Does this conflict with the University's overnight guest policy?
Part III: My Emotional Style
How you experience and express your feelings has a lot to do with how easy you are to get along with. Roommates who enjoy living with each other typically "read" each other's feelings fairly accurately, and respond with empathy. By sharing some information about your emotional style, you may make understanding and responding to each other easier.
Discuss the following issues:
- When I am upset about something I usually…
- Something that will usually cheer me up…
- When things are going really well I'm usually…
- I would prefer to be left alone when…
- When do you need time alone?
- How will you let me know when you need time alone?
- You'll know when I'm angry because I usually…
- What makes you angry?
- How will you let me know when you are angry?
- I get tense or uptight when…
- What makes you tense or uptight?
- How will you let me know when you are tense or uptight?
- You'll know I am tense/stressed because I usually…
- How will you let me know when you are tense/stressed?
- Something that is likely to annoy me is…
- How will you let me know what annoys you?
- We will communicate feelings or frustrations by…
To me, relaxing is…
Part IV: My Impressions/Reactions
The quality of roommate relationships is related to the communication between roommates. Positive relations have been shown to be typified by roommates more clearly understanding each others' expectations, more openly communicating with each other, and their ability to verbalize to each other thoughts and feelings about one another. During all of your discussions with your roommate, listen carefully. Try to be unconditionally accepting of what you hear even though you may disagree. When you are accepting, your roommate will feel free to express things honestly.
Try to follow these guidelines:
- Be willing to listen and speak openly.
- Try to understand rather than evaluate or judge.
- Be receptive to different ways of life and different values.
- Be willing to make compromises.
- Spend time getting acquainted.
Be aware of assumptions and try to get the facts.
When differences arise, try talking out issues while using the communication skills that help most—be open and honest, listen closely, and be specific.
Use the Roommate Agreement Form (see below), reevaluate your living situation, and change the ground rules. You will both change throughout the year, which means that this document should change as well.
However, if difficulties do arise in your roommate relationship, there are people and resources on campus available to assist you:
- Talk with a residence life staff member in your corridor or another staff member in the building.
- Seek assistance from the Resident Advisor, Manager, or Assistant Manager.
- If you still have a need for further assistance,
The Roommate Agreement Form
This agreement is designed to help roommates get to know each other, and to start opening the lines of communication on topics that we know are important for successful roommate relationships.
A blank Roommate Agreement will be given to all residents within the first day or two after move-in. Roommates fill out and sign the Roommate Agreement Form together.
This agreement may be revised at any time. Residents are encouraged to revisit this agreement after the first month of the semester.

Globalization, Human Rights & Security
Globalization—as a political, economic and cultural trend—continues to have a mixed impact on women. Although it is strengthening promotion of gender equality around the world, it is also in many cases widening the gulf between rich and poor, accelerating environmental degradation and increasing the workloads of women and girls. The expanding global marketplace is increasing women's employment opportunities but also producing jobs that may be temporary, unsafe or exploitive. Furthermore, economic reform programs imposed on developing countries by international financial institutions have often eroded critical services, such as public health and education programs, thereby increasing the caregiving burdens of women and girls. While globalization has opened up new avenues for some women, it has also led to increased hardship for others.

Original Price: $299.99 Shop all In-dash Video Receivers Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff.
by Ken Nail A mobile A/V hub with the bonus of built-in Bluetooth® Pioneer's AVH-P2400BT DVD receiver boasts excellent A/V capabilities and functionality, while built-in Bluetooth adds the convenience and safety of hands-free calling. The receiver sports a 5.8" screen with user-friendly touchscreen controls, plus simple menus that you can customize to your liking. And you can choose from five display colors and 112 key panel illumination options for a look that's right for your dash. Bluetooth, built-in Once you pair your mobile phone with the AVH-P2400BT, you'll never have to fumble for your phone when you're in the car. Just press a button when a call comes in and talk hands-free, just as if the caller is in the car with you. You can also access your phone book from the screen, so outgoing calls are quick and easy to make. Start playing your music and video After you've connected your iPod® to the front-panel USB input, you'll be able to use the receiver's controls to access your playlists, while Alphabet Search and other handy tools help you find the song you want in a snap. And the 1-amp USB port will charge your devices quickly. Of course, this Pioneer will play all your discs, including CDs or DVDs you've burned with music files. The 5.8" LCD screen plays DVDs in bright, clear detail when you're parked. Add Pioneer's CD-IU51V cable to view video content from your iPod or iPhone®, then set up some video screens for your backseat passengers so they can watch movies or other video content while you drive. Pandora® control If you connect your iPhone to the receiver with Pioneer's CD-IU51 cable, you can take charge of your Pandora® account from the touchscreen, complete with thumbs-up and thumbs-down controls. Strong Pioneer sound The receiver's built-in amp delivers crisp, clean sound that you can tailor with an 8-band equalizer. If you'll building a system, the three pairs of preamp outputs help you connect and control your external amps. Add navigation and more Pioneer's AVIC-U220 navigation module converts the AVH-2400BT into a full-fledged navigation receiver. And you can add a rear-view camera to the receiver's cam input — it'll make backing up in tight spots a lot easier and safer, too. Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls? In most vehicles, you can use an adapter to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Pioneer stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Pioneer, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.

* See Detailed Description for qualified FDA Health Claims
EDEN Hard Red Spring Wheat is grown in vital soil and ground at our certified organic, AIB rated Superior, Michigan mill. A versatile all purpose flour for most baking needs. Use it for breads, pancakes, crackers, pretzels and anything baked. Mix it with other flours for endless variety.
Hard Red Spring and Hard Red Winter Wheat Triticum aestivum L. are the same grain planted in different seasons. Spring Wheat is a fast growing crop. It's sown in Spring and harvested in late Summer or early Fall. The gluten in spring wheat makes the best bread.
EDEN Hard Red Spring Wheat Flour is low fat, saturated fat and cholesterol free, sodium free and a good source of fiber. According to the FDA, "Diets rich in whole grain and other plant foods and low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers." Also, "Low fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain products, fruits, and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors." It is a good source of protein, thiamin B1, and magnesium. 100% whole grain.
Hard Red Spring Wheat is known as 'bread flour' and is useful in just about anything you bake. People also keep Hard Red Wheat on hand to mix with lower gluten flour such as buckwheat and rye to make bread and other baked goods.
The common ancestor of all wheat is called einkorn, first cultivated 8,700 years ago in present day Iraq. Because wheat is the world's most important carbohydrate crop and the most widely distributed cereal grain, it is grown in nearly every country.

Well, it sounds appealing to me JD. But I am not someone who can currently afford it, basicly I'd have no real way to make a living there, nor would many of us. Sure, I might sell out here and manage to buy up there (assuming the real-estate market comes back, here). Once there, I'd be hard-pressed to make a living. Unless I took up subsistence fishing or greenhouse gardening or custom knife making or firewood cutting or occasional welding (or perhaps all of the above..). Whether that could cover the overhead there? I'm not sure..
To sell these things you'll be needing to find people who are financially secure, and also looking to live fairly simply. Whether thats doable? Probably, yes. Especially when mainland life breaks down and becomes more hellish, as it is threatening to do at any moment with the monetary situation. Folks would love to escape to someplace like that once things "hit the fan" (if it can still be put together when that happens).
I could also see rich folks going to there seasonally in their sailing yachts if there is a good sheltered moorage or marina facility. For that, you may want to be sure there are enough comforts to appeal to them, if they are who you want to attract. A restaurant, maybe a bed-n breakfast for guests, and a decent store? A resort atmosphere would probably make some seasonal jobs and allow a few more of us to join you. You may need to make some of the cabins a bit more posh (but still "earth friendly"?) to attract some of the money people. They would probably support some service jobs for the rest of the "commoner" residents.
Unfortunately, currently, my friends who have a sailing yacht are about to have their house foreclosed upon, it is so far "underwater"! Their IT business is failing, their suburban home is being encroached upon by vacant shopping malls and rising homeless person crime, and the best they can muster is maybe a week's vacation at your marina and B&B there (if you put one in).
But some folks do still have their inheritances or whatever.....You are going to have to attract financially secure people.
JD,you know(or not)that you're somewhat endeavoring a social experiment of sorts with this thread.It gives you a raw estimate of what the genre of this forum is made up of,a lot of people who'd like to try to do what you all do but would never think of actually living your way.A lot of people will try something for awhile 'to make a point' either to themselves or to their social clique either from where they came from or to the current residents there.You must know this behaviour,being an ex-or sometimes expert legal mediator.Some really do give it all up and go,try to forget what and why they lived the way they lived but they are few and far between from what I've seen but anyways my suggestion would be to try an orchard,public farm kind of thing maybe,community gardening plots?You describe it as stone as I see from the pics but the mild climate you describe would hold dear to apple trees and such.Try to have something to hop into a boat for a day and go picking ?Bait sales do well here in winter,all the ice fishing going on.
As I say from my POV I did'nt have a choice but to buy what I have and sensibly live the way I do,Most others never get that chance.If I had a huge income and my choice of any place to live,I don't know if I would have made the same choices I did but hindsight is 20/20.I am glad for myself that I chose the way I did.I have no regrets.To say that others who never have done hard labor before,especially in their aged years,I would not think it a smart move,especially if they don't want to raise chickens and chop wood.It may be nice for a week or so but I would'nt count on them being permanent residents.
See thats the rub jd,as you know when folks get desperate they'll do anything to get out of where they are or the need to do something different.Maybe an enclave(not OOM necc. sorry Sarah)but similar.Maybe like an artists colony.We have a famous one here in the Monadnock Region,been here 102 years or so,the MacDowell Colony;I think they have a webpage.Robert Frost,Thornton Wilder,and over 6,000 writers,poets, performers and artists(of all types) have spent a lot of time in peace working out things there..Or a fish farm,sould do that.Go see the site jd,you'll get some ideas possibly and a good view of where I live.I know from my own perspective having had professional artists for parents how important it is to get away from society(families,businesses and the metropolitan 'crush' of people/life tend to inhibit creativity a lot)and there aren't very many of these colonies and many are sought out by businesses,universities and such to send their brightest to work on huge creative projects and it works.The best ideas come from clear minds as you well know jd..
I think your going to find that it is the community that is your problem.
I see this continually, communities that refuse to become more self-sufficient because of engrained special interest groups. They create an economically-defunct enclave.
Every household/homestead is an enclave unto itselve. It must either provide the necessary skills/labor/materials from within itselve, or produce something to 'trade' with the outside.
It sounds as if your enclave wishes to produce little internally, and does not have the capacity to produce anything of value for 'trade'.
JD, not sure if I ever mentioned this before, but I've been sort of close to where you are up there once before. About 5 years ago I took a car trip up to visit an online friend who lives in Gibsons, on the Sunshine Coast. I'm in S.W. Oregon, but was visiting family in Seattle area, so breezing on up to B.C. sounded like a fun side trip. I drove up from Seattle, into Canada, through Vancouver, and on to Horseshoe Bay, where I caught a ferry to the Sunshine Coast. That place, several small towns, is only reachable by ferry or air (I believe..). It was not cheap for me to get to the Sunshine Coast. Everything was expensive (from my perspective). Fuel, groceries, housing are all high cost. Understandably, since everything there has to arrive by ferry, including me and my car (which really costs a lot to bring on the ferry...) Where you are at is even farther on up than that. Not sure just how much farther, but it is remote. I understand. Only private boats (and they are certainly more expensive these days with fuel costs etc. as well...) venture out to your island.
Moving anything is expensive. Coming or going. Any freight moving out (as trade items) faces the same prohibitive costs as freight coming in. Apples, or fish, or anything else that can bring in money and livelyhood to the folks on your island will surely be costing much to move. If you hauled apples out of there to market, they'd be competing with the apples grown in the Okanagan or other more easily accessed fruit regions. Transportation costs will make that prohibitive. Same goes for anything that has to move out of where you are there on a freight type basis.
So, I think we're back to the same place I said before. You need to import rich people to make the planned community work. Now, I did like Davisonh's idea of the artist's colony. Those kind of folks would fit in with and attract the well-heeled kind of money folks you need, as well.
I, too, thought that the idea of an artists colony sounded like a possible great plan. If you are trying to build the population a bit, I don't feel that attracting retiree's is the answer. Seems to me that attracting a younger set would be more of a long term fix. And if I understood the artist colony concept correctly, you would have a revolving door population coming and going. That way if you don't like someone, you can at least know that soon they will go away
Seriously, though, the space issue was my biggest drawback. That and the fact that I really am glad that I don't have neighbors to see me run out the door in my bathrobe and mudboots to chase a wayward goose or loose horse... some of us are better left where nobody will see us!
Shirley in ND
Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines as Cmate...
I would rather have seasonal 'temporary' residents and maintain a part of the solitary lifestyle... the lifestyle you moved out there for in the first place.

Phoronix: NVIDIA Releases Beta OpenGL 4.4 Linux Driver
The Khronos Group only publicly unveiled the OpenGL 4.4 specification yesterday, but already NVIDIA Corp has out public beta drivers for Windows and Linux of their first graphics drivers to support OpenGL 4.4 and GLSL 4.40...
Well, that was fast
damn, nvidia are fast! The ball is in your court AMD!
Any word on Kernel support? Does this finally bring 3.10+ support? Thanks.
no EGL Support.........
I'm not terribly surprised nvidia released it this quick. First of all, it's a beta. Second, nvidia and AMD are pretty much the only companies that have hardware effectively capable of opengl 4.4, so that means nvidia must have already been experimenting with this before it was even announced.
I personally won't really care how long AMD takes to release their 4.4 compatible drivers. There's barely anything out there that uses 4.2.
instead of against us, and contributed to Mesa instead of keeping with the old ways of doing things, we might all have more advanced OpenGL functionality across the board.
It's the same as the last beta driver released over three weeks ago.

The Singing Kettle
Over the years, the Singing Kettle has grown from being a small show for children, touring playgroups and schools, to the biggest box office draw in the UK. Early shows were based on clues for songs inside brightly coloured kettles. While this principle is still central to the action, plot lines and stage sets are now built around imaginative story lines, transforming the original concept into a spectacular musical for the whole family.
Cilla Fisher, Artie Trezise and Kevin MacLeod with Gary Coupland have turned children's theatre into an art form and their unique performances have become the bench mark for fellow professionals everywhere. They have performed in hundreds of venues, from the Palladium in London to the Town Hall in Campbeltown, from the Palace Theatre in Kilmarnock to the Royal Palace in Jordan. BAFTA award winning and decorated with MBE's for services to children's entertainment, audiences worldwide are hooked on their madcap musical adventures flavoured with cheeky Scottish humour.
Adults and children alike find themselves singing the songs together long after the performance is over.
'... a delight for kids, parents and grandparents alike. The laughter, singing and inter-action is contagious' (Edinburgh Evening News).

A team of Dutch scientists is trying to solve the mystery of personality. Why are some individuals shy while others are bold, for example? What roles do genes and environment play in shaping personalities? And most mysterious of all, how did they evolve?
The scientists are carrying out an ambitious series of experiments to answer these questions. They are studying thousands of individuals, observing how they interact with others, comparing their personalities to their descendants' and analyzing their DNA.
It may come as a surprise that their subjects have feathers. The scientists, based at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology, are investigating personalities of wild birds.
Until recently, most experts in personality would have considered such a study as nothing but foolish anthropomorphism. "It's been looked at with suspicion and contempt," said Dr. Samuel Gosling, a psychologist at the University of Texas.
But scientists have found that in many species, individual animals behave in consistently different ways. They argue that these differences meet the scientific definition of personality.
If they are right, then human personality has deep evolutionary roots. "It's a matter of degree, not of differences," said Dr. Piet Drent of the Netherlands Institute of Ecology.
The bird study that Dr. Drent and his colleagues are conducting is considered the most ambitious investigation of personality in wild animals.
"They've gone the furthest," said Dr. Sasha Dall, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Exeter in Cornwall.
The Dutch researchers are studying the importance of genes to the personalities of the birds, and the effect different personalities have on their survival. They hope next to carry out parallel studies in humans to see whether the same forces behind the evolution of bird personalities are at work in our own species.
The science of human personality is about a century old. Psychologists have relied largely on questionnaires and other testing methods to map out its dimensions. One common method is for scientists to ask their subjects how well certain adjectives apply to themselves (or to people they know well).
"Certain traits tend to go together," Dr. Gosling said. "We find that people who are energetic also tend to be talkative. It needn't be that way, but that's how it tends to be." The flip side is true as well: less energetic people tend to be less talkative.
Psychologists have found they can bundle these traits into just a few personality dimensions. People may be more or less extroverted, for example, which means they are sociable, assertive and tend to have positive emotions. The same dimensions have been documented across the world, from Zimbabwe to the Russian Arctic, suggesting that they are universal in humans.
Some studies have suggested that genes are responsible for some of the differences in people's personality ratings. But they have been far from conclusive because scientists cannot do experiments with humans. "Human mothers will not let you just swap their infants at birth, which would be a great study to do," Dr. Gosling said.
It has been only in the last decade or so that scientists have investigated whether animals have personalities. In one pioneering study in the mid-1990's, Dr. Gosling studied a colony of 34 hyenas at the University of California, Berkeley. "My goal was simply to say, can we measure personality in animals? It wasn't clear it was going to work," he said.
Dr. Gosling asked the four caretakers of the colony to fill out a modified version of the human questionnaire for each animal.
"It turned out that they agreed at the level you find in humans," Dr. Gosling said. What's more, the hyena personalities fit some of the dimensions found in humans, like neuroticism and agreeableness. Since then, a number of other studies have documented personalities in animals ranging from chimpanzees to squid.
To some biologists, the main question about these animal personalities is why natural selection keeps such a wide range of them. "Why hasn't one personality become the standard in the population?" asked Dr. Drent. If being extroverted offers the best odds for a hyena to reproduce, you might expect that over time, all hyenas would wind up as extroverts.
Dr. Drent and his colleagues hope that their study on birds may reveal some clues. They are studying a European relative of chickadees called the great tit (Parus major). Most of the birds spend their entire lives in a single forest, and they are happy to move into comfortable nest boxes provided by the scientists. As a result, the Dutch researchers can track the entire population of birds for years, keeping tabs on their health and their success at reproducing.
The scientists can also bring some of the birds into the lab in order to measure their personalities or carry out breeding experiments.
"These birds are perfect for these sorts of studies," said Dr. Niels Dingemanse of the University of Groningen, a collaborator Dr. Drent.
Instead of questionnaires, the Dutch team tests the behavior of the birds to measure their personalities. In one test, the scientists place a strange object - a penlight battery or a Pink Panther doll - in a bird's cage. Some birds are quick to approach it, while others hang back.
In another experiment, the researchers open a cage door, allowing the birds to explore a large room filled with five artificial trees. Some birds are quick to explore the trees, while others prefer to remain in the comforts of their cage.
In a third experiment, the researchers place a bowl of tasty mealy worms in the room. When the birds land on the bowl to eat, the researchers startle the birds by lifting up a nearby metal plate. They then see how much time passes before the bird returns to the bowl.
The tests revealed that the birds have consistent personalities that remain stable for years. Bold birds, as the scientists call them, are quick to inspect new objects, to explore the trees and to recover from the metal-plate surprise.
Shy birds are slow on all three counts. The differences go well beyond these tests. Bold birds are also more aggressive than shy ones and experience less stress when the scientists handle them.
Breeding experiments revealed that these traits had a strong genetic basis. Over just four generations, the researchers could produce significantly bolder and shyer birds. "About 50 percent of the variation you find in avian personalities is due to differences in genes," said Dr. Kees van Oers of the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Germany.
Dr. van Oers is searching for the genes responsible for these differences. He estimates that as many as 10 may play an important role, and he has already pinpointed one strong candidate, known as DRD4.
Some studies on the human version of this gene suggest that it influences how much people seek out new experiences. But other studies have failed to replicate the link. "We're still working on the last bits, but it looks promising," Dr. van Oers said.
The genes for both bold and shy traits have been preserved by natural selection. To find out how this happens, the researchers have observed how birds with different traits have fared over the years. "We were not sure how the data would turn out because no one had collected them before," said Dr. Dingemanse, who led this part of the study.
The researchers found that the personality of birds had a powerful effect on their survival, but that effect changed from year to year as the supply of food fluctuated. "It's quite a complex story," Dr. Dingemanse said. In lean years, for example, bold female birds had a better chance of surviving than shy ones, while shy males did better than bold ones. Those patterns switched during years with abundant food.
Over the course of several years, however, birds with intermediate personalities appear to have had more success at bearing young. "Animals in the middle did better," Dr. Dingemanse said.
If intermediate birds are better adapted than very bold or shy ones, it is strange that all the birds are not intermediate. One possibility is intermediate personalities arise when birds inherit a "bold" version of certain genes from one parent and a "shy" version from the other.
Since a bird has a 50 percent chance of inheriting a gene from its mother or father, it's inevitable that some will wind up with two "shy" genes or two "bold" ones. As a result, they may get extreme personalities.
Another idea the Dutch scientists want to explore is that the social life of birds helps bold and shy personalities to coexist.
Each year the birds fight for territory where they can feed and breed. Bold birds are more aggressive than shy ones, and that sometimes helps them win territory. But the scientists have found that when bold birds lose, they are slow to recover. They end up at the bottom of the hierarchy, and in many cases just fly away. "They go to other places to try to become No. 1," Dr. Drent said.
This struggle might balance the birds between bold and shy personalities. If there are a lot of shy birds, the few bold ones will rise to the top. But if there are a lot of bold birds, they will fight a lot, and that will result in a lot of bold birds flying away. In these cases, the few shy birds will thrive. "So one of the personalities can never disappear completely," Dr. Drent said.
He and his colleagues plan to test this hypothesis by altering the ratio of bold and shy birds in the wild.
Many of the findings are summarized in the February issue of Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews.
Researchers studying animal personality hope that their work will yield some practical benefits. Dr. Gosling and his students, for example, have been focusing much of their research on the personalities of dogs.
An accurate test of dog personality may help animal shelters match pets to families. It may also help identify dogs that are especially well suited to jobs like detecting explosives.
Studies on animal personality may also illuminate human personality. The Dutch researchers are now beginning to compare their research on birds to research carried out on children.
"It was amazing how the way they measured the boldness of the birds resembles tests we have for young children," said Dr. Marcel van Aken, a psychologist at the University of Utrecht. He and the bird researchers plan to measure the personalities of birds and humans with a common set of tests, hoping to find clues to the evolution of human personality.
Barely any research has been carried out on the evolution of human personality, but what little there is suggests that it may have some parallels with what's happened in birds.
In a survey of 545 people, Dr. Daniel Nettle of the University of Newcastle in England found that the more extroverted people were, the more sex partners they tended to have had. That might give them an evolutionary edge, but Dr. Nettle found that they were also more likely to wind up in a hospital.
Dr. Nettle is reporting his findings in a paper to be published in Evolution and Human Behavior.
Some experts on human personality remain skeptical. Dr. Daniel Cervone of the University of Illinois at Chicago considers describing animals with terms like extroversion as "extremely risky." The word inevitably means something different when applied to a human or a bird.
"There's a whole load of human qualities that simply weren't going into the ratings in the first place," he said.
Dr. van Aken agrees that anthropomorphism is a real danger, but he thinks it can be avoided. "I'm not so concerned about it," he says. "You have to define clearly what you are going to measure and then let the data speak."
Deborah Lykins for The New York Times
Dr. Samuel Gosling led a study into animal personality involving hyenas.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
evolution ping
I have always wanted to conduct a study of personality influences on Alligator behavior, all I need is about $250,000. I have the Gators, but they won't work for nothing!
Thanks for the ping.
Give the Dutch enough grant money and legalized pot and this is what you get.
Did my Big Mac origin have a happy life? Who cares
So, what's wrong with the study they're doing? There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamed of in your philosophy. And these guys are exploring one of those things.
Think it's for the list?
It's attracting the Luddites. I'd say yes.
"It's been looked at with suspicion and contempt," said Dr. Samuel Gosling, a psychologist at the University of Texas.
You just can't make this stuff up.
Mayhap Dr. Gosling would have preferred a study of geese?
Hey, my dog made me write that. I gotta hide his stash.
I find it a bit interesting that there seems to be a flurry of media reports on animal personality in recent weeks (maybe I'm just encountering a disproportionate share). I always figured it was more or less a given that at least 'higher order' animals had personality types and emotional states. To be sure, I haven't the slightest objection to such research - to the contrary I think it's quite important - but I wonder if the slightly raised media profile may be a corrolary of the animal rights movement.
Speaking of which, I think the animal rights movement has admirable principles in the abstract, but frequently seems inane in practice. I think part of the problem is that personality and emotion is so loaded with connotation to our perception that it can be easy to 'anthropomorphize' other creatures. The rudimentary forms exhibited by most (primates and cetaceans being notable exceptions) are in my view such a difference in degree as to be different in kind. Ultimately, it's a man eat cow world out there!
PS. Are the "pink" flamingos the most flamboyant?
lol I was thinking the same thing
BTW, I've considered using "The Lazy Flamingo" as the name of the bar I'm opening when I retire.
I agree. Thanks for the ping.
Thanks for the ping!
Human FReepers (and anthropomorphic animal FReepers that can type) can find their personality type here:
"Ah, my little chickadee, I see you have a prodigious pair of Parus majors."
Wonder if Endemol productions underwrites any of these studies ... or merely donates in sponsored TV "reality show" time all manner of fodder for thought.
It's all hormones.
The main problem with this particular study is that we don't know if the personality traits identified in these kinds of birds are either homologous or analogous to those in humans, so how much they can say about us or other species is up in the air.
This is so cool...
Ugh. Not me. They have serious goals which are not in sync with our standards of liberty. I am 100% in approval of the animal welfare people though. But there's a serious intermingling of the two. I've worked with several dog rescues, and the rightists are just plain goofy.
I'll have to check with la gata on this one.

Plumas Arts invites you to savor the Taste of Plumas
The fifth annual Taste of Plumas is one of the most anticipated events of the season. It will be held Saturday, April 9, at the Plumas-Sierra County Fairgrounds. The tastings begin at 5:30 p.m.
The staff at Plumas Arts reports that there are more restaurants and more wineries participating this year than ever before. The admission price remains at the 2007 and 2008 levels.
The event is one of the primary fundraisers for Plumas Arts, the region's most active cultural programming organization. Plumas Arts brings art programs to the county schools and events and performances to local audiences; coordinates a regional cultural events calendaring system in print and online at plumasarts.org; works collaboratively with numerous local organizations, businesses and groups; hosts Words & Music in three county locations and a gallery of regional artists in Quincy; and manages the Town Hall Theatre.
The event will include samplings from all parts of Plumas. Many restaurants, caterers and food businesses are signed up and ready to go. In alphabetical order that list currently includes: Alley Cat Café, American Valley Baking, Bella Luna Catering, Bonta Street Bistro, Café Le Coq, Carol's Café, The Drunk Brush, Feather River College Culinary, Gamboni's Peninsula Grill, Genesee Bistro, Greenhorn Guest Ranch, The Grille at the Chalet View Lodge, Longboards Bar & Grill, Pangaea Café & Pub, Quincy Natural Foods, Southern Accent, Timatillos and Trattoria Rosa. Confirmations from several other establishments are also pending. Other culinary establishments that are interested in participating should contact Plumas Arts at 283-3402 or email@example.com.
"The Taste" also hosts samplings from numerous wineries and microbrew beers from around the North State and beyond. Another part of the event is a silent auction with a festive selection of food, fine art and travel.
Plumas Arts reports that the Taste of Plumas has been a sold-out event every year. Based on the fact that attendees offer rave reviews to their friends and neighbors, ticket sales are already very impressive.
The presale price of admission, $30 for members of Plumas Arts members or $35 for nonmembers, includes a souvenir wine glass and the opportunity to savor samplings from these 20-plus restaurants and culinary businesses. Non-members can become members with their benefit ticket purchase and commence their membership support and savings with this initial investment. Tickets are available at the Plumas Arts Gallery at 372 Main St. in Quincy, by credit card online at plumasarts.org or by calling Plumas Arts at 283-3402.
After April 1, if the event is not sold out, all tickets will be $40.
