Clean up your room!Playing with toys is fun - but you need to put them away before time runs out! It's more Mah Jongg madness as you match a whole new set of tiles! Trains, dolls, cars, stars, and airplanes are just a few of the fun tiles that you'll be looking for!
1. As with most Mah Jongg tile games, the object is to clear the board by clicking on matching tiles. In this case, you're looking for matching toys!
2.In many cases, tiles will be partially hidden – however, you can get a preview of any top-facing tile by hovering over it with your mouse. The preview will appear in the lower left-hand corner of the game screen.
3.You need to act swiftly because you are being timed – when the time runs out, your game is over.
Mah Jongg Toy Chest Tips and Strategies
· Double check to make sure that the toys really match – both in type and color.
· Work from the top down and outside in whenever possible.
· Use the preview window to help identify which tile you have selected. It will help you find the right match!
· The time is ticking off points as you play – so work fast to clear the board and earn as many points as you can!
· If you get stuck, click on Switch View to see a two-dimensional image of the board. This may help you locate a match you haven't seen.

A personal project, done in PS.
A personal project, done in PS.
Looks good. I like the city walls and the town layout. I'd recommend varying the size of blocks inside the town, and the houses themselves. At the moment it looks like everything within the city walls is the same size which implies the same economic level everywhere. Also, the roads inside the city are massive compared to the roads outside the walls. I'd expect roads outside to be wider, as space within the city walls is at a premium.
Love the colour scheme and the details in the farmland too. Very nice!
Yeah this is great Sap. I especially like the outside areas with the small farming buildings and whatnot.
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden

Great comments Torstan, didn't noticed it until you mentioned it, you have quite the trained eye!
Thank you guys!
@Torstan: really good comments, hadn't noticed the streets and the houses issues. I will take care of these in the next town map.

What would you like to know about your Universe — The third online poll
This poll is now closed. The most popular question was: "What are dark energy and dark matter?" We will publish the answer in an article and podcast on Plus shortly. Thank you for taking part!
This is our third online poll in our series to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy 2009. Choose your favourite question from the list on the right, and we'll put the one that proves most popular to world-leading astronomers and cosmologists, including Astronomer Royal Martin Rees and author and cosmologist John D. Barrow. The poll will remain open for a month and the answer will be published in a Plus article and podcast soon after. If your most burning question is not on this list, then leave a comment on this blog and we'll endeavour to include it in a future poll — there will be four more polls dotted throughout the year.
The most popular questions in polls far were was What happened before the Big Bang? and Are the constants of nature really constant?. Read the answers by clicking on the links, and discuss them on our blog.

This special double issue of Plus is cause for celebration: both of the endeavours of physics to understand our Universe, and of the writers of tomorrow who may help explain it. We explore the frontiers of modern physics: searching for alien life in space and exotic particles in the LHC, looking through the Hubble Space Telescope, imagining a holographic Universe, and wrestling with one of the biggest problems in modern physics. And the winners of the Plus new writers award 2009 explore the most beautiful equation of them all, explain the credit crunch, and unveil the curse of good looks. We raise a toast to mathematics and physics — to all the explorers of the new frontiers and the new writers who can take us there!

Not so fantasy football
Next time you're off to the bookies to place your footie bets, you might be better off consulting a statistician than a football expert. On his Understanding Uncertainty website self-confessed football un-enthusiast David Spiegelhalter used a simple statistical model to predict the results of the last ten Premier League matches, which were played on the 24th of May 2009. In terms of predicting whether a game ended in a win, draw, or defeat for the home team, Spiegelhalter's model was right nine out of ten times, compared to the seven out of ten score achieved by the official BBC football expert Marc Lawrenson, and the model predicted two scores exactly.
Spiegelhalter and his co-authors Mike Pearson and Ian Short quantified the individual teams' attack strength and defense weakness based on their past performance, and then, with a little help from probability theory, used these ratings to work out the most likely outcome of a particular match. (You can see the details of this model on his website.) "These types of models have been refined over the years and are now used by bookies and sports betting companies, who employ experienced statisticians and make use of the latest computational methods," says Spiegelhalter. But he concedes that his very basic model might have been a bit lucky this time: "One thing you can bet on is that simple models like this one will be very unlikely to out-perform the odds being offered by bookies, so don't use them to spot good bets!"
Spiegelhalter announced his prediction on the BBC Radio 4 programme More or Less, which was aired before the final match day, so you can be sure that no hindsight fraud was involved.
David Spiegelhalter is Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge and regularly writes for Plus (see for example his article on the 2006-2007 Premier League season). His Understanding Uncertainty website is designed to inform the public about everything to do with risk and uncertainty, from health scares to predicting election results.

At the very heart of sport is a fierce battle in which the combatants strive to outwit and outplay each other. Each thrust is matched by a parry and in the end, there can only be one winner. The rules of each sport dictate how that winner is determined, and whether it is football, tennis, golf or chess, it is those who perform best on the day who take home the glory. This latest installment of the Plus sports page looks at two ranking systems that couldn't be any different from each other — those of sumo and chess.

Take a trip through the looking glass...
Looking for something to think about next time you gaze at your reflection when brushing your teeth? Then Sara Santos has some mathematical inspiration for your next daydream in her MMP public lecture, Through the looking glass... again and again!. If Alice took a magic trip inside a conic arrangement of mirrors, what would she find in this mathematical wonderland? You can take a look through a 3D kaleidoscope to see what happens to Alice's cubes and icosahedrons!
Sara Santos is Clothworkers' Fellow in mathematics at The Royal Institution of Great Britain (Ri) and is responsible for coordinating the UK-wide network of secondary Ri mathematics masterclasses. Sara will be speaking at 11am on Thursday 11 June 2009, at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, just down the hall from Plus! Admission to the lecture is free but by ticket only — for tickets please contact Kerstin Enright, Millennium Mathematics Project, Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Wilberforce Road, Cambridge CB3 0WA (01223 766839) or email: email@example.com. You can also sign up for notifications of future MMP events at the MMP site.
And don't forget you can also see the London Mathematical Society's popular lectures on Monday 22 June in London and Tuesday 15 September in Birmingham. Come and see how physicists helped answer a hundred year old question about prime numbers and how random matrices and Riemann zeroes feature in a major Hollywood movie with Nina Smith. And Mark Miodownik will explain how fleas can jump over 100 times their own height, flies can walk on water and a hamster can survive falling from aircraft without a parachute.
Admission is free, but by ticket only. For more information and tickets, contact Lee-Anne Parker, London Mathematical Society, De Morgan House, 57-58 Russell Square, London,WC1B 4HS (email: email@example.com), or visit the LMS website.

I am new to Zimlets and have some basic questions. I have a zimlet working and now I am getting ready to add the external call to a remote server. The Server is a Content Management System that supports WebDAV or just plain HTTP GET/PUT messages. Is the ideas that These calls are made from the Java Script running in the client browser, or do these call have to be somehow delegated back to the Zimbra Server to be made on behalf of the client?? If the latter is so, is there a way to delegate non-SOAP calls??

On a clear day, recovering an underwater vehicle could be relatively easy. ?Clear,? in this case, referred not to the sky, but to the ocean. Using sound signals, scientists guided the robotic vehicle Puma to surface in a calm, open pool of water in the ice pack and head right toward WHOI engineer John Kemp in a crane-operated basket, almost like a good dog coming home to poppa (left). Oden?s Able Seaman Stefan Borstad crooked the crane?s elbow as far down as it could go and extended its forearm to get the basket as close as possible to the water line. Kemp reeled in Puma, and Borstad reeled in Kemp.
Clear days were rare, however, and most recoveries posed nerve-wracking challenges. More ice required more maneuverability, so Oden?s small boat, Hugin, was dispatched to find and recover vehicles surfacing in the ice pack.
WHOI researchers Hanu Singh and Mike Jakuba secure Puma by ropes to Hugin, which towed the robot back to Oden.
Singh attaches Puma to Oden?s crane for hoisting back on board the icebreaker.
From Polar Discovery, July 21, 2007: Sometime after 7 a.m. Friday, about 3,700 meters, or 2.3 miles, under the Arctic Ocean ice cap, the robotic vehicle Puma lost a thruster on a mission to search for plumes from hydrothermal vents on the seafloor. Scientists, engineers, and the crew of the icebreaker Oden all mobilized to try to get the hobbled vehicle back to the surface, to guide Puma to a rendezvous with Oden in the shifting ice pack, and to make a hole in the densely packed ice for Puma to surface safely.
With Oden?s master, Mattias Peterson, directing operations, and its second officer, Thomas Stromsnas, working the ship?s controls, the icebreaker mashed broken chunks into smaller pieces. In this fish-eye lens view, you can see how the ship circled the pieces, herding them into the center. The ship then tried to push the pieces to one side, to clear a patch of open water for Puma. But the ice pack was unforgiving today. The ice moved backed quickly, filling the hole again, and swarming the ship?s hull.
Meanwhile, MIT/WHOI graduate student Clay Kunz (center) and others on the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) team were holed up in the AUV control van, calculating Puma?s slow ascent, tracking its position, and nudging the vehicle via computer commands toward Oden. The drama took hours to unfold. Chief Scientist Rob Reves-Sohn?s cuticles paid a price. ?I wish fingernails grew faster,? he said. WHOI engineer John Kemp (left) gets an update on the situation.
When Puma nears the ship, the ship?s transponders can no longer pick it up well, leaving the AUV team unable to locate it precisely. WHOI scientists Susan Humphris and Tim Shank and helicopter pilots Sven Stenvall and Geir Akse were dispatched with a receiver that could hear a sound beacon on Puma?a device normally used to locate people trapped under avalanches. Stenvall flew the helicopter around the boat with the receiver dangling by a cable just above the ice, listening for telltale signals from Puma, somewhere nearby and under the ice. Then Shank spotted Puma?s blinking strobe light and a bit of its yellow ?skin? in a tiny gap between ice floes, hugging Oden?s hull on the portside bow.
There?s a joke aboard ship that John Kemp will miss no opportunity to get into a ship?s crane-operated metal basket. Oden?s chief officer, Ola Andersson, lowered the basket toward the ice, reaching slightly underneath the ship and along its hull. For several tense minutes, neither Kemp nor anyone else saw Puma, and we wondered if it had disappeared under the ice or under the ship. Then Japan?s National Institute of Advanced Science and Technology geochemist Ko-ichi Nakamura saw Puma?s nose peeking out from under an ice floe. Andersson maneuvered Kemp toward it. With a long metal pole, Kemp pushed aside ice floes to free Puma. Nearly 22 hours after he had let Puma loose, Kemp grabbed hold of it again and brought it back on board.
Two days later, Puma?s robotic sibling, Jaguar, surfaced somewhere under a seemingly endless blanket of white. Oden?s helicopter flew low, dangling a receiver just above the ice to listen for a sound signal from Jaguar. After more than an hour, a signal finally came. Pilot Sven Stenvall dropped a red-painted piece of wood on the ice to mark Jaguar?s location underneath. Oden broke ice and up popped Jaguar. Mattias Peterson, Oden?s captain, expertly and gingerly maneuvered the icebreaker toward it, trying to avoid accidentally running over it, pushing damaging ice floes into it, or stirring up the ice too much and losing the vehicle again.
WHOI engineer John Kemp (red suit) and Ulf Hedman, expedition leader from the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat, were lowered in a metal basket to the ice to recover Jaguar. Each man was armed: Hedman with a shotgun in case of polar bear; Kemp with a pole and a rope and safety harness so he could jump safely from one ice floe to another. But by the time they reached the ice, Jaguar had suddenly disappeared again, and they could not relocate it.
More fretful hours passed, but at last, a crack opened in a large ice floe that had pinned Jaguar. Stenvall landed on the floe, and co-pilot Geir Akse hooked a line to Jaguar (note the red marker).
Oceanographers often say their underwater vehicles ?fly? through the ocean above the seafloor. Jaguar flew through the air. The helicopter delivered it to a pool of open water near Oden, where it was brought aboard as ice floes rushed in against the hull. During the expedition, Puma and Jaguar were launched eight times. To the relief and delight of WHOI scientists Rob Reves-Sohn and Hanu Singh, the number of recoveries equaled the number of deployments.

This maybe an easy question but i dont seem to find the solution.
I'm using PreAuth to access Zimbra, and I want it to redirect straight to the calendar part of the Zimbra app but I do not find a direct link to it other than using the link to the standard -non ajax- version ('http://184.108.40.206/zimbra/h/calendar').
Is there anyway for PreAuth to redirect to the Ajax Calendar section of Zimbra CS.

Anybody know how it has been weather wise out there? Any tips or pointers to head me into the right direction would be much appreciates. Ill keep everyone posted on how the hunt goes. Should be a fun adventure.

Working Together
Partnerships in conservation
IUCN programmes, projects, and activities are mostly implemented together with partners and IUCN members in the region.
The IUCN Programme in Asia is guided by the global and regional Interessionsal Programmes developed with the input of the IUCN constituents. Practical implementation of the Programme is based on IUCN's ability to draw the attention of donor agencies to the issues highlighted in the Programme and to negotiate common agendas with these agencies and other stakeholders.
There are currently 160 active members from 19 of the 23 countries in the region. There are 12 IUCN State members in Asia alone, 19 government agency members, 2 affiliates, 5 international NGO's and 121 NGO's members. The latter makes up 75 percent of the members in Asia. IUCN Asia, in close collaboration with the Membership Unit at Headquarters, coordinates membership and constituency-related matters in the Aia region.
Strategic and Institutional Partners
IUCN initiatives in Asia are often developed in close consultation with our strategic partners, as well as community-based organizations at grassroot levels. The strategic partners in Asia include, but are not limited to:
- UN Agencies (FAO, UNDP, UNESCO, and UNEP)
- Multilateral and regional institutions such as the Mekong River Commission (MRC), Asian Development Bank (ADB), and ASEAN Regional Centre for Biodiversity Conservation (ARCBD)
- Secretariats of relevant conventions such as Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), Climate Change, Ramsar, and CITES
In addition to IUCN members and partners, IUCN Asia is able to draw expertise form its 1700 commission experts in Asia. The commission members are leading scientists in the fields of environmental law, environmental education, protected area management, environmental economics and policy, biodiversity (species) and ecosystem management. The six commissions are:
- Commission on Ecosystem Management (CEM)
- Commission on Education and Communication (CEC)
- Commission on Environmental Law (CEL)
- Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy (CEESP)
- Species Survival Commission (SSC)
- World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA)

Comments: The libraries need to be cleaner. The study tables, computer areas, and bathrooms are often filthy.
Our cleaning staff works very hard to keep the library buildings clean. To assist them in their work, the University Libraries has also instituted some new policies and re-emphasizing other policies of long standing.
No beverage may be brought or consumed in any of our Libraries unless it is in a covered container. There is a strict no eating policy in effect in the Neef Law, the Purdy/Kresge, and the Science and Engineering Libraries as well as on the third floor of the Undergraduate Library. In those areas in which our customers may eat, there is a strict policy against eating at Library computer workstations.
But let's be frank. Almost 2,000,000 visits were paid to the University Libraries last year. Unless the WSU community comes to the realization that keeping the Libraries clean is a responsibility they share with the library staff, we will be fighting a losing battle. At present, far too many people feel they can simply walk away from their messes and someone else will clean them up. The student community needs to assert some positive peer pressure.

I've found elk at or above 9000 and lower than 7000. they go where the best grass is and the time of year and weather play a big part as well
I just recentley moved to the helena,Mt area, so this will be my first year bowhunting in MT...Ive always bowhunted in Idaho, Some people here have been saying you have to hunt around 8000ft to be into elk aournd here so thought id get some opinions! So In montana do the elk stay typically in the high country during the first parts of semptember or will they move down or if even if there is any realationship with elevation and finding elk in early september.
Any Insight would greatly be appreciated!!!
I've found elk at or above 9000 and lower than 7000. they go where the best grass is and the time of year and weather play a big part as well
Up high, down low, they are all over.
Elk are where you find them...
Pretty cocky for a starvin pilgram...
Elk are all over, you just got to find them!
So true...no science to it. Some basics, but once you think you have them figured out, it all changes. Finding them is most important. If your wondering if they are where you are, look for tracks, droppings, and trashed brush and trees. If your not seeing these things, its time to relocate.
I hunt because......
Agreed..So many people make the mistake of hunting a "Good" area that they saw elk in once day after day and never find any fresh sign. I'll give an area a half day. If I'm not at least into some fresh sign, I'm outta there and over the next ridge. I'd start high and get off the beaten path..talk to some locals or the Game wardens. they may be helpful. Good luck.
Thanks a lot for the info guys much appreciated!

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that it's Shark Week, an annual weeklong series of programs on Discovery Channel dedicated to the underwater beast.
The hugely popular programming seems to generate more and more buzz every year — especially by online word-of-mouth. You know it's that time again when Facebook and Twitter become flooded with updates and tweets like "OMG!!! Shark Week," "Don't text or call- Shark Week" and finally the ubiquitous expression: "Live every week like it's Shark Week."
Which is really catchy and all, until you stop to contemplate what it means. What does it entail, exactly, to live every week like it's Shark Week?
I decided to ask around to gain some enlightenment. The responses ranged from clueless to philosophical to just plain unhygienic.
"I don't know, man. No clue. Why?"
"Happiness, and the best week ever?"
"Shark Week is awesome and exciting and makes people want to behave like sharks. So I suppose it means to live every week like you're the beast of the sea."
"Watch Discovery Channel all day every day."
"Stay inside and watch more 30 Rock?"
"Watch TV all day and never shower again."
"Considering that I didn't do shit for Shark Week, it means live life normally."
"That is my mantra. Whoever told you that is a very wise person."
"Live like it's exciting and frightening? So laugh, cringe and be squeamish every week."
"Live every week like it's an adventure. Take advantage of every opportunity you're given. And stay out of the ocean."
To the Point:
"Live like you're about to be eaten."
"Live every week like it's the greatest week ever."
I don't know exactly how to behave like the beast of the sea, and I don't know about you, but "cringe and be squeamish" doesn't sound like a great way to live. Still, there's truth in these words. Shark Week is simultaneously entertaining and frightening, addictive and unwatchable. There's something about sharks that both fascinates and scares the living bejeesus out of all of us.
I've deducted this much: Living every week like it's Shark Week means to live life energized, on the edge and with just a little, healthy dose of fear — and awe — of the crazy world in which we live. It means to live life uncompromisingly, aggressively — to eat or be eaten.
What's it mean to you?
Drop those pickles and ice cream, ladies! Becoming Mom Spa in Mason is looking for the hottest pregnant gut in the Tristate for its Beautiful Belly Contest.
Knocked up chicks are encouraged to send in a photo of their lovely lady lumps, which will be displayed on the spa's Facebook page for public voting. Because that doesn't sound like it could go horrifyingly wrong.
For every vote on the photos, Becoming Mom will donate $1 to the March of Dimes. Prizes for top-voted bellies include gift certificates to The Polo Grille, Buy Buy Baby, Radiant Hair Removal (which you should probably think about before you submit a photo...) and other businesses. Becoming Mom will also crown Most Creative Belly Shot, Belly Shot that Best Represents the Journey to Motherhood and Most Beautiful Belly with $100 a pop.
Before MomsLikeMe.com hijacks this shit, I want to be clear. Being pregnant is totally cool (as long as you aren't a white trash idiot who learned the hard way that a pregnancy pact doesn't come with an MTV contract). I mean, you and a dude made a person! Holy shit, that's like one of the coolest things humans can do. And it's particularly special for women, because they get to let the thing simmer in 'em, pop it out and then feed it with milk their own bodies produce. That's hella eco-friendly. Pregnant women even look cool most of the time.
Terrifying other times.
Motherhood should totally be celebrated. I don't think a pregnant woman needs to hide her belly under a tent dress by any means, but do you really have to go to Sears, strip down and get a portrait of yourself covering up your boobs and vag like you're some kind of bloated Venus? No amount of retouching in Photoshop is going to make you feel like you look like Demi.
Not pictured: a normal pregnant person
But I know what you're thinking. You're going the tasteful route: planning on the denim/white oxford ensemble?
What a unique idea!
And let's think about who's truly affected by a contest like this: the little tadpole inside. How's Junior gonna feel when he finds out mom whored him out on Facebook before he was even born? All this for a couple bones and some Greater's gift cards. It's bad enough you picked the kid's name off a Web site, then tweaked it to end with "-ayden."
But if you disagree, send your belly shot to email@example.com by April 22. Winners will be announced on - wait for it - Mothers Day. Aw!
This is the caliber of photo Becoming Mom is looking for, so, preggy ladies, take note:
Mariah Carey continues to set the bar high:
Super Bowl Sunday has come and gone, and what an emotional rollercoaster it was! Not only was the game neck and neck until the end, but viewers were taken through a gauntlet of tear-jerking ads between plays.
puppies? Check. Dead children?
Of course! It is the Super Bowl,
after all. It's as if advertisers suddenly realized humans have emotions, and
that beer + bikini + kick to the crotch is not in fact the perfect formula to
lure every football fan. Check out more Super Bowl commercials here.
But there were some funny ads, too. Lindsay Lohan poked fun at her wreck of a life for Nationwide; Mindy Kaling learned what it was like to be invisible; and that Pete Rose Sketchers commercial aired, so that's not embarrassing or anything.
Meanwhile the IRL Women
and Women First, the owners of Portland, Ore.'s feminist bookstore In Other Words, took over
twitter account to give a feminist commentary on the night's events. Here are
some highlights.
Before we knew it, it was half-time, headlined by Katy Perry.
While she's no Beyoncé (the disclaimer I give before complimenting anyone), homegirl brought it. Even people who are way too cool to listen to the pop star were all, "I'm not a Katy Perry fan, but that was a great performance," which is hipster for "I liked it." And if you were a fan of the amazing graphics throughout the show, you have a local company to thank! Lightborne Communications was behind all the 3-D animations and projections (they also worked on her recent tour). Read more about Lightborne's involvement here.
The singer came out on a gigantic metallic man-powered lion, danced on a checkerboard come-to-life, served up early-Katy Perry retro beach realness (#leftshark 4 lyfe) and flew across the stadium looking like "The More You Know" star. Lenny Kravitz was already announced as a guest star, and he didn't disappoint, performing Perry's breakout single "I Kissed a Girl." And oh, how I wanted to be that girl. Seriously, the man has not aged in the last 20-30 years. I wonder if he and Gwen Stefani both sold their souls to the devil around the same time in the '90s.
But Kravitz wasn't Perry's only guest! Rumored performer Missy Elliott surprised the audience with a medley of some of her top hits. It's been a decade since she released any new music, so hopefully there's more to come from Missy because the bitch can still put her thang down, flip it and reverse it.
There must be something in the air with pre-Millennium R&B musicians returning to the spotlight, because D'Angelo performed on Saturday Night Live last weekend at took us all to church while he did it. I never thought I'd like D'Angelo with so much clothing on, but he killed it (and owns the sophisticated baglady look).
SNL celebrates 40 years later this month (on a Sunday, which is weird). Tons of former cast members and hosts will appear: Dan Aykroyd, Jim Carrey, Jimmy Fallon, Jon Hamm, Jack Nicholson, Amy Poehler, Chris Rock, Adam Sandler, Justin Timberlake, Christopher Walken and so, so many more, including Eddie Murphy, who'll be returning for the first time in more than 30 years.
Now stop everything, because the Game of Thrones trailer is here.
"Who said anything about him?" BOOM.
Jimmy Fallon took The Tonight Show on the road for the week, and some of the show's most hilarious clips have resulted. First, after the Super Bowl, Fallon and friends did a live show from Phoenix. Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart — who watched the big game together and co-star in the upcoming Get Hard — threw down in a lip sync battle ("for their LIVES" – RuPaul) with Fallon. Watch the guys do either best Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson and more here.
On Monday, the crew traveled to L.A. So, naturally, Fallon opened the show with a recreation of the intro from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
But the throwback fun doesn't stop there. No stranger to Mark-Paul Gosselaar (who famously did an interview with Fallon as Zack Morris on Late Night), Fallon reunited the Saved By the Bell crew — Zack (Gosselaar), Kelly (Tiffani Thiessen), Slater (Mario Lopez) and Jessie (Elizabeth Berkley) — for a trip back to Bayside.
This is all great but where is Lisa Turtle (Lark Voorhies)?! I mean I know Dustin "Screech" Diamond was probably busy with his recent arrest and all, but what's her excuse?
Finally, the movie event horny bitches across the planet have been waiting for is finally here. Folks have been talking about it — anticipating it — since 2012. Some scenes can't even be shown on TV.
No, I'm not talking about that Fifty Shades bullshit, I'm talkin' Magic Mike XXL. Try to keep your composure.

I would really like to keep the postfix option 'reject_unknown_sender_domain' enabled - it is very effective in the fight against spam, yet Zimbra's own mail domain, at least 'www-prod-3.zimbra.com' has neither an A or MX record! Seems strange for a company where this is their business.Code:

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - On one of the biggest nights of the year for alcohol consumption among young people comes news of a case 9News has been following for a year.
9News was the first to report on the alcohol sales to minors at Town Square Market in Northwest Washington. Andrea McCarren, who has covered this story extensively, reports a shocking update:
On Wednesday afternoon, D.C.'s alcohol control board announced that it would renew the liquor license of Town Square Market, despite the store owner's conviction for selling to a minor and despite the neighborhood advisory commission petitioning against it.
"Disgust. Shock. Outrage. How could this happen?" That was the reaction of a local parent who says her 16-year-old bought vodka and beer from the owner of Town Square Market for a year and a half without being asked for identification.
"He couldn't have been caught more red-handed on dozens of occasions, and yet none of this seems to matter. He can do anything he wants in this town and people don't really seem to care," said the parent.
For almost a year, we have closely documented alleged liquor sales to children as young as 14 at Town Square Market. A D.C. Superior Court judge convicted store owner Richard Kim in May. In June, he was given a $550 fine and a suspended jail sentence.
"It's personal because I went and confronted this guy. He didn't have the guts to look at me," the same parent told us.
The investigation into Kim's business practices went beyond D.C. and into Montgomery County, where officers issued more than three dozen citations to teenagers who'd bought alcohol at the Northwest Washington store and drove with it across the line into Maryland.
"He's just basically thumbing his nose at me and every other parent, including the ones who didn't go confront him and saying, I win, I win. We should all be outraged," the parent told us.
The final ABC board vote was 4 to 1, with the majority arguing that Richard Kim had taken steps to ensure he would not sell to minors in the future.
Still he faces another hearing in January on charges being brought against him by the Office of the Attorney General. But again, despite documentation of sales to minors by D.C. and Montgomery County police, his liquor license will be renewed.

The Miu Miu woman possesses a creative intelligence and an overtly rebellious sense of fashion, perfect for a label that defies any preconceived category or aesthetic. It is fitting then that the seasonal advertising campaigns have often featured emerging actors: Miu Miu celebrates the outsider, the iconoclast, and the risk-taker.
The SS'16 collection is a study in extreme contrasts: tweed, jacquard, knit, satin, gingham, lace and leather are all featured simultaneously in complex, textural compositions. The colors are as diverse as the materiality comprising greys and taupes intercut with deep maroon, gold, and blue. The forms range from the exaggerated trench with white and brown leather to a yoked cotton shirt drawn straight from the prairie.
For the SS'16 campaign, long-time creative partner Steven Meisel brings the collection to life through a series of elegant portraits featuring a quartet of new, international actors – contrasts in themselves – Millie Brady, Julia Garner, Matilda Lutz and India Salvor Menuez. One of Britain's fastest-rising stars Millie Brady, seen on ITV's Mr. Selfridge, appears in Burr Steers forthcoming film Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, as well as the upcoming Knights of the Roundtable, a film by Guy Ritchie. New Yorker Julia Garner can be seen starring opposite Lily Tomlin in the film Grandma. She is currently filming Baz Luhrmann's Netflix series The Get Down, and makes her stage debut in February opposite Zachary Quinto in Noah Haidle's play Smokefall. Italian actor Matilda Lutz was cast as the lead role on Paramount's newest installment of The Ring to be released in April, she also recently completed filming a lead role in Gabrielle Muccino's film Summertime. Performance artist and actor India Salvor Menuez will appear in the highly anticipated film White Girl, debuting at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and recently sat for multiple portraits with painter John Curran.
Always the consummate craftsman, Meisel presents his impeccable images in a frank, straightforward manner. Tightly cropped, asymmetric, and shot against a neutral grey backdrop, the actors directly confront the camera in a manner that highlights their expressive range and luminous beauty. The neutrality of the approach reveals the richness of the eclectic looks coupled with the palpable intelligence of the women.

Starring: Millie Brady, Julia Garner, Matilda Lutz, India Salvor Menuez

Just a thought I had reading through the Mallet thread on this forum. Do you think Mallet will be traded at some point (there is the Browns rumor, but even if that doesn't happen) or do you think he stays long enough to eventually take over when Tom Brady leaves?
I know nobody can truly answer it, but just wanted to hear some opinions.

Thierry Henry and Arsenal may have tempted fate a little when he posted with an Arsenal kit a few days ago before going back to New York for final paperwork.
Whatever happens, Arsenal fans could see that His Highness Henry is more than willing to return to the Gooners, where he enjoyed the peak of his career before moving to Barcelona.
The only downside for the French striker is perhaps having to leave this sleek $15 million New York penthouse. And you can't really compare Finsbury Park with Nolita as a neighborhood.
But it seems to him that losing that comfort for two months is "Pas de problème".
Check out photos of Thierry Henry's home. Thierry Henry's New York home: modern sleek penthouse in Nolita, NYC . He'll return to it in March when he continues to play for New York Red Bulls, that is, if all goes well with the paperwork for Arsenal.

A collection of poems, short stories and drawings by John Lennon is to go under the hammer in New York later this year.
The manuscripts written by the Beatles legend have been kept in a drawer for 50 years by publishing boss Tom Maschler, but will be sold off at Sotheby's auction house in New York in June.
Most of the documents were produced by Lennon in connection with two books of poetry, drawings and musings which he released in 1964 and 1965, "In His Own Write" and "A Spaniard In The Works."
The sale's center piece is a handwritten draft of "The Singular Experience Of Miss Anne Duffield," Lennon's longest piece of prose, which is expected to fetch as much as $60,000.
Other items include a drawing of a four-eyed guitarist, valued at as much as $25,000, and another of a boy with six birds, which is expected to draw bids as high as $15,000.
The items, which have been on display at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, will also be shown at Sotheby's London between March 21 and March 25 ahead of the New York auction on June 4.

I was just wondering what people would say is their favorite piece of ISU memorabilia that they own. Mine has to be either the authentic helmet signed by McCarney or the signed Seneca Wallace ball.
I've got an authentic, signed helmet by Troy Davis.
My father was ill with leukemia, while he was going through his first round of chemotherapy at Mercy, before heading to Mayo, Cy personally brought my dad a team signed football with a personalized note from Dan wishing him well. It was neat seeing Cy in the hospital. Anyway, my dad did not win the fight and has since passed. Needless to say that football and note are my most prized cyclone memorabilia.

My wife entered a raffle at our local school and got me a limited edition ISU basketball signed by GMac and all of this year's team with the exception of Vette and Brister, of course. Gave it to me on my birthday last week. Very Nice!
I've got a framed and autographed #40 Fred Hoiberg jersey. Bought it back when they had very cool Cyclone Shootouts. Was able to go down on the floor with my dad to get the jersey and meet Fred.
I removed it.
I don't have anything signed or anything like that. I guess my favorite cyclone possession would be the Cyclone seat covers my girlfriend made for me in my 1968 Ford pickup she bought be last summer. She also made a Cyclone dash cover and bought Cyclone floormats. The truck was a suprise as well. It was sitting in my driveway when I returned from Iowa last summer. It is kind of my Cyclone mobile.
I was working at a brain injury center in Ankeny 2 years ago we had a little boy who was a huge ISU fan. In a coma, he always wore his ISU bandana, had an ISU blanket, and has ISU posters all over his room. He had a crappy little football that they used to put into his hands for sensory integration.
I emailed Jamie Pollard about this kid and he gave me a free football with a few autographs on it. I just happend to be outside the IPF when coach Mac came out after practice. I asked him if he would sign the ball too. Very kindly he of course replied. He also took me inside to practice and asked his players to sign too. All the players were more than willing to sign the ball. I left with a free football loaded with well wishes and autographs.
It was a quick reminder for me how good of people we have at ISU, as well as made his family very happy.
Dwayne Crutchfield game jersey. Tear away. Never wore it, in the stack of back-ups. Already cut to midriff.
I kept my plastic soda cup from my first ISU basketball game back in the '70s. Kicking Cy on it.
I also have a Cyclone logo headrest cover from the charter aircraft the football team took to Shreveport back in 2005. I ended up working on that aircraft before it left with the team, and they had some extras.
I'm baaack! See my Hot Milk For Breakfast blog under Social Groups for more details
Cael bobble-head. Now I just need to get it signed.
I've got a super piece..... I have the printing plates used to print the front page and interior continuation/photos/etc of Cael's Gold Medal performance in the Olympics, that was used by the Cedar Rapids Gazette the day after his victory. They are frame and it's signed by Cael.
I also have a few team signed FB's and BB's, but the Cael printing plates have to be my all time favorite.
1. Peoples 32oz FAC mug - still in use today
2. Diploma
My father's letter jackets etc. from playing basketball in the early 50s.
Iowa State hand towel that smelt like beer that I picked up before the 02 nebraska game. Had to hide it from my dad because he wanted to throw it. After we won I washed it and hung it on my wall.
It's a tie
1) my pep band shirt from ISU's Sweet 16 appearance in San Antonio. I got most of the team to autograph the shirt. Cato, Willoughby, Klay Edwards, Jacy Halloway and Shawn Bankhead's autographs on it.
2) Autographed Seneca Wallace picture given to me by a friend.

Dear Ship Family,
Earlier today, officials at the NCAA's National Headquarters announced that Dr. Roberta Page, our director of intercollegiate athletics, will join that organization as its Director of Championships. I have attached the release at the bottom of this e-mail.
During her tenure here, Roberta has enabled our student-athletes to achieve excellence athletically and, more importantly, academically. I know while she is proud of the championship trophies our teams have won, she is equally as proud of the numerous academic honors our student-athletes earned.
We WILL miss Roberta Page – no doubt about that, but at the same time, we wish her well in this very exciting new opportunity. I know that she will now provide even more student-athletes with the same dedication and commitment that she has shown to the Ship family. Please join me in congratulating Roberta!!!!!!!!Shippensburg AD takes national office leadership position
Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Roberta Page has been hired as a Director of Championships at the NCAA national office. Page will begin her new duties in June.
Page, who has served as AD at Shippensburg since June 2003, fills a position vacated by Wayne Burrow, who left the Association in February. Among championships in all divisions that Page will oversee are those in track and field, swimming and diving, gymnastics, and tennis. She also will serve as the primary liaison to the Division II Championships Committee.
"I am very excited about the opportunity to work with championships at the NCAA," Page said. "I have the utmost respect for the individuals who work at the national office and am truly excited to join this outstanding team. I am equally excited to work with the membership, as our common goal is to make the student-athlete experience a positive one."
Page joined Shippensburg athletics in January 2000 as associate director of athletics and then served as interim athletics director from December 2001 until June 2003 when she was named AD on a permanent basis. In addition to supervising a staff of more than 60, Page was responsible for all operations, budgets, events and external activities for the athletics program.
Shippensburg has been a frequent host of NCAA championship competition under Page's direction, and NCAA Senior Vice President of Championships Joni Comstock noted Page's commitment to enhancing the student-athlete experience.
"Roberta has a keen understanding of what it takes to provide student-athletes with a meaningful and rewarding postseason experience," Comstock said. "As a former coach and administrator herself, she is very aware of the membership's expectations to deliver a positive experience for student-athletes and other key constituents."
Page also has been involved in NCAA governance, having been a member of and eventually chairing the Division II Management Council. She also was a member of the Division II Planning and Finance Committee. Earlier this month, Page had become the first female to be appointed as a member of the Division II Football Committee. She previously had served as a member of the Division II Men's and Women's Track and Field Committee.
"Shippensburg University has always supported my involvement with the NCAA committee structure and has paved the way for me to take on this new professional opportunity," Page said. "My time at SU has allowed me to be surrounded by some of the best coaches, administrators, and more importantly, student-athletes. Ship will always be a special place for me and my family, and one I will always consider home."
Shippensburg President Bill Ruud praised Page for her leadership of the university's athletics program. "During her tenure, Roberta brought the athletics program at Ship to new levels of success, both on the athletics fields and in the classroom. Thanks to her leadership and commitment, our student-athletes have not only won national championships but they have earned numerous academic honors. Their success is a testament to the high standards she set for them, and for herself. She will be missed by her many friends and colleagues."
A native of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, Page played basketball and softball at Slippery Rock where she graduated in 1988 as a physical education major with a minor in sports management.
She then taught health and physical education and served as assistant track coach (1989-95) and assistant varsity and head junior varsity basketball coach (1989-94) at Chambersburg High School. She also was head women's volleyball coach at Wilson College (1992-94).
In August 1995, Page moved to Gettysburg High School where she was director of athletics and assistant principal. In fall 1998 she went to South Middleton School District where she was the director of athletics and assistant principal.
Page earned two master's degrees from McDaniel College in athletics administration and educational administration with a concentration on higher education. She earned a doctoral degree in educational leadership from Duquesne.

ATA report shows increased truck driver turnover for large fleets
June 24, 2011
A new report from the American Trucking Associations (ATA) found that longhaul truck driver turnover was up during the first quarter.
The ATA's Trucking Activity Report said that there was an annualized rate of 75 percent for large truckload fleet driver turnover, representing a 69 percent increase from the fourth quarter of 2010 and a 39 percent annual increase compared to the first quarter of 2010. The first quarter turnover percentage is at its highest level since the second quarter of 2008.
The report noted that turnover is on the rise, with the driver market tightening in conjunction and drivers moving around from one carrier to another for the best pay and benefits.
"The driver market is tightening," ATA Chief Economist Bob Costello said in a statement. "We hear nearly every day from fleets who cannot find enough drivers to meet demand. With the economy continuing to recover from the Great Recession, the implementation of new regulations and the number of retirees outpacing the number of drivers entering the industry, I expect to see the turnover rate continue to rise."
Driver turnover and tight capacity are two things that clearly go hand in hand in the trucking industry, especially during the current tight market conditions, spurred on by a stalled economic recovery and the recent implementation of CSA 2010, as well as possible changes to truck driver hours-of-service regulations.
And unless capacity is added by major trucking players, it is likely that turnover will continue at its current rate, say industry experts.
"Even if carriers were buying trucks, they still cannot find drivers," said Lana Batts, partner at Transport Capitol Partners. "In order for carriers to attract and retain drivers, rates will need to rise from where they are today. Rate hikes will go to driver pay first even though unemployment is still nearly ten percent. Possible driver candidates are collecting unemployment with a cash job on the side—and are also home every night."
While the ATA report points to increased turnover, it should not suggest that strong economic activity is what is supporting that effort, according to FTR Associates Senior Consultant Noel Perry.
"The trucking data is not an indication of economic recovery," Perry told LM in a recent interview. "It is an indication of a trucking recovery. Turnover goes up early in recoveries as drivers who want to change fleets do so. Truckers have not hired earlier because productivity allowed them to move more freight without hiring. Now they have to hire to expand."
The ATA report also found that driver turnover at small truckload fleets inched up one percentage point to 50 percent in the first quarter for its highest level since the third quarter of 2008, and less-than-truckload (LTL) fleet turnover rose to 8 percent in the first quarter from 6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Systems Management, Simplified in the Cloud
ScaleXtreme seamlessly transitions to the open cloud with Rackspace.
CUSTOMER'S BUSINESS: ScaleXtreme offers systems monitoring and management software that allows customers to view all of their servers through a single unified interface.
CHALLENGES: The company was seeking a simple solution for both enterprise customers and those new to the cloud; they also sought a stable and scalable platform for their own testing and development.
RACKSPACE SOLUTION: Rackspace® Cloud Servers powered by OpenStack®
BUSINESS OUTCOME: The company's transition to next generation Cloud Servers was completely seamless, involving no coding.
Based in San Mateo, Calif., ScaleXtreme offers systems monitoring and management software that allows companies to view both internal and cloud-based servers and systems through a single pane of glass. In addition to this federated view, the application allows customers to monitor their servers, automate jobs across multiple systems, patch and update Windows and Linux systems, and control spending on servers.
A Rackspace Cloud Tools partner, the company was an early adopter of Rackspace next generation Cloud Servers powered by OpenStack®. In upholding its motto, "Simplicity, scalability, and sociability," ScaleXtreme has found the next-generation servers to be a perfect complement to their own offerings, requiring no coding to adopt and offering a range of improvements.
An early adopter of the next-gen servers, ScaleXtreme's developers and engineers were immediately impressed. CEO Nand Mulchandani says, "We started working with the Rackspace technical team very early on, when they had very early versions of it. One of the things we found right away is that it's completely standards-compliant. We actually didn't need to make any changes to Open-Stack APIs or providers to work seamlessly with Rackspace."
This is an atypical experience for the ScaleXtreme team. Because ScaleXtreme's application allows customers to monitor servers hosted by a variety of cloud providers, its engineers generally have their hands full whenever a new provider or product comes along. "For a new proprietary provider, who has proprietary APIs and interface, it literally takes us months of engineering time to have our two systems talk together," Mulchandani says.
By contrast, Mulchandani says, "Working with the new Rackspace system has been easy. Because the new Rackspace systems are all based on the OpenStack standard, and because ScaleXtreme was supporting OpenStack from the very beginning, making the two systems talk to each other was a matter of simply pointing at the new APIs and the new standard system and just testing it. Everything just worked, right out of the box. It was so easy to do that it was basically a non-event for us."
In addition to its out-of-the-box compatibility, the next-generation servers' new interface impressed Mulchandani. "The UI itself is much richer," he says, "much simpler, and a lot faster. I think customers will find it to be a completely new experience, although they're not going to have to go through any learning curves around the core functionality itself."
This ease-of-use has led Mulchandani to recommend Rackspace to cloud-computing newbies. "One of the things we highly recommend to customers is that, of all the cloud computing systems out there, we've found that Rackspace is one of the easiest to use, and the most approachable one to get into," he says. "The combination of Rackspace with ScaleXtreme is probably the easiest and simplest way to get into cloud computing."
Though simple enough for newcomers to cloud computing, Rackspace is stable and scalable enough for the enterprises ScaleXtreme also serves, and the company itself relies on Rackspace. "All of our test and development at ScaleXtreme runs on Rackspace, because of the scalability and the predictability of the platform," says Mulchandani. "That's been a very big win for us."
Director of Engineering Karthik Ram echoes Mulchandani's praise. "We're impressed with the speed and performance of Rackspace next-gen Cloud Servers," he says. "The API is remarkably reliable and we can be comfortable with its stability thanks to its OpenStack heritage."
The constant availability of support also puts the ScaleXtreme team at ease, though they've rarely had to take advantage of it. "Fanatical Support® is definitely there," Mulchandani says. "We actually haven't had to call Rackspace support very often, as it's been an extremely stable platform, very open."
Mulchandani feels that Rackspace's use of a nonproprietary infrastructure fulfills the original promise of cloud computing. "The promise of the cloud is to get away from a locked-down, proprietary system, and for systems of data to move freely," he says. "A major platform vendor like Rackspace adopting OpenStack has enabled an ecosystem of partners and tools and products to grow around it, so that there's a high level of interoperability. Customers can feel comfortable, because all of a sudden now there isn't this onerous lock-in that cloud computing was supposed to get rid of in the first place."
Ram agrees, saying, "This may be one of the first infrastructure-as-a-service offerings to take full advantage of the power of open standards, and we're excited to be using it."
ScaleXtreme's enthusiasm for Rackspace shows no signs of waning. "Working with the team has been fantastic," Mulchandani says, "from the marketing teams, to the system development teams, to the solution partner programs. It's been an absolutely great experience."
The company's relationship with Rackspace continues with a place in Rackspace's Marketplace, where ScaleXtreme offers a systems-management application that supports both generations of Rackspace servers. According to Mulchandani, "Within minutes, you can be managing your systems and discovering new things about what you can do with the new Cloud Servers you'll be launching at Rackspace."

Applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that investigates and offers solutions to language-related problems in the world. The discipline relies on the theories and findings of linguistics, together with the experiences and needs of language users, to engage real-world issues at such intersections as language and society, language and education, and language and power.
The applied linguistics minor is designed to provide systematic study of and principled approaches to language and engages such topics as language teaching, language learning, and language use.
Courses in the minor consider such topics as learning and teaching of languages, social and regional language variation, literacy, language policy, language disorders, and language history, to name a few.
The discipline of applied linguistics has application to careers in a wide variety of fields, including:
Admissions Office
"I believe one of the greatest strengths of the applied linguistics program is its diversity and cross-disciplinary nature. Through the program, I was given not only the raw information to understand the mechanics of language and its use, but I was also given the tools to critically explore language issues, not just on paper, but in the world around me."

Life is getting better at an accelerating rate. Food availability, income, and life span are up; disease, child mortality, and violence are down all across the globe. Though the world is far from perfect, necessities and luxuries alike are getting cheaper; population growth is slowing; Africa is following Asia out of poverty; the Internet, the mobile phone, and container shipping are enriching people's lives as never before.
The pessimists who dominate public discourse insist that we will soon reach a turning point and things will start to get worse. But they have been saying this for 200 years.
Yet Matt Ridley does more than describe how things are getting better. He explains why. Prosperity comes from everybody working for everybody else. The habit of exchange and specialization, which started more than 100,000 years ago, has created a collective brain that sets human living standards on a rising trend. The mutual dependence, trust, and sharing that result are causes for hope, not despair.
This bold book covers the entire sweep of human history, from the Stone Age to the Internet, from the stagnation of the Ming empire to the invention of the steam engine, from the population explosion to the likely consequences of climate change. It ends with a confident assertion that thanks to the ceaseless capacity of the human race for innovative change, and despite inevitable disasters along the way, the 21st century will see both human prosperity and natural biodiversity enhanced. Acute, refreshing, and revelatory, The Rational Optimist will change your way of thinking about the world for the better.

"Delightful Case for Things Looking Up"
An extended argument that human intelligence and the well-being it allows is created, collected, maintained, distributed and extended by trade. Trade is "ideas having sex." Ridley builds his case with point after point then examines all the usual counterexamples and objections, taking them out one by one. It's a wonderful book. Of course it helped that he was preaching to the choir with me. What's most delightful is Ridley's goodhearted skewering of pessimists -- the technological and environmentalist Jeremiahs in particular -- with the most obvious of weaknesses is their flimsy cases. He's almost embarrassed for them. Ridley is a bit repetitive at times, but maintains a wry humor and lighthearted tone throughout, which makes his writing all the more effective. He's a good writer and he's right about everything.
"Changed my outlook"
After reading this book my outlook towards the future has changed. I now have a very positive outlook. No more am I going to let doomsday-sayers inflict me with stress and negative thoughts about the future.
Awesome book!!!
l'enfer c'est les autres
"We've got it good"
We really are living in special times. This book with Pinker's "Better Angels of our Nature" show how we are living at a very special time and things will most likely only get better. The book demonstrates how humans became special through our ability to trade with one another. You'll learn about prehistory and how the average person has it better than the Sun King, Louis XIV. After all, we have Novocaine and a seamlessly but complex system of trade which brings food from all over the world to my local table for an incredibly affordable price.
If you can give a person only one gift, let it be the gift of optimism. They will live longer on average and have happier lives. This book will help even the most pessimistic among us become an optimist.
"Contrarianism, convincingly argued"
This book will make you feel more optimistic about the prospects for humankind than you might have thought possible. The author does this, not by ignoring the many very real problems that we face, but by taking a broad historical perspective. His conclusion, which is very convincingly argued: the human condition has improved dramatically by almost any measure and there is every reason to expect it will continue to do so. The reasons why are intriguing and the analysis draws from a broad range of economics, history, science and technology.
I wish my activist friends would read this book and re-assess the focus of their concerns. We all want to make the world a better place and surely the most effective way to do so is to assess, rationally and without ideology or dogma, what has worked in the past as a guide to what might work in the future. It won't be an easy exercise for many because it leads the author takes a contrarian view on many currently fashionable topics including world trade, alternative energy, genetically modified food, global warming, etc.
The author makes a strong case for rationalism and it is a nice, but not inevitable, outcome that rationalism leads to optimism. If that sounds promising to you, you will find plenty of material here to bolster your hopes and inform your views of where we should be going from here.

"Should Be on Your List"
This book is almost too perfectly aligned with my core beliefs that the story of the world is one of progress. The mental architecture that I place new learning is built around a narrative of progress. The story is one technology driven change towards lower mortality, lower fertility, better nutrition, and better health. My training in both demography and history has taught me to be weary of any talk of "better days or golden ages" - as I appreciate lower child mortality, the spread of democracy, and expanded access to education.
So Ridley has written the book that conforms to almost all my prior beliefs - although he arrives at his conclusions by routes I probably wouldn't go. First, Ridley is clearly leans libertarian. He is suspicious of the role of government in promoting progress. I'd be interested in how he explains away government led policies that are responsible for so much of the progress we have enjoyed, everything from sewer projects to social security, civil rights legislation to medicare, medicaid, and the recent health care bill. I think Ridley does not give enough credit to the role of organized labor for contributing to spreading the benefits of capitalism to more people, nor does he seem to grasp the importance of government in supporting education at every level.
His dismissal of global warming as a major concern will get lots of attention for being basically wrong-headed, and I'd agree that he oversells his case and therefore gets the actions that we should be taking basically wrong. (My take…worry less, invest prudently).
I like that Ridley comes out as a fan of hydrocarbons and big oil (timely given the BP disaster), and his critique of ethanol is accurate and devastating. But he misses the importance of investing in alternative energy as an engine to insure innovation, seemingly blinded by the idea of a zero sum game of social investments (which is strange as he rails against zero sum thinking). I like a book where I agree with the conclusions but disagree with how the argument is derived. This tells me that the fundamental truth of the progress story is intact - and where we need to argue and debate is around the means rather than the ends.
"A rational response to chicken little"
Wow. After listening to this book for a third time in the last year, I decided I needed to write a review.
This book provides a well constructed, reasonable walk through time to give the reader some true perspective about our current condition relative to all those that have come before us.
At a time when media coverage is based around telling us what's wrong with us, our planet and our country, this book provides a practical antidote. Part historical narrative, part social anthropological study and part defense for science, technology and capitalism, this should be required reading for every high school student so they have something to balance their exposure to an almost completely reactionary media without any historical perspective.
It's true, there is a reason to believe mankind has a bright future! Who knew?
"Good message, too much detail"
The premise of this book is intriguing and the author backs up his theories with a myriad of well-researched data - probably too much so. I found my mind wandering too many times as the narrator droned on about the fluctations in coal prices in Britain in the 1840s or the silk trade transactions between the Eriteans and the Kyristanians in the thirteenth century. The over-arching message of the book of optimistic evolutionary behavior that will make life better for future generations was a nice respite from the Al Gores of the world but I think I may have enjoyed the hard copy book better to just skip over all the data provided.
"Brilliant capture of the human experience."
I am listening to this title for the second time back-to-back. First time I've done that in nearly 300 titles purchased.
Matt Ridley has beautifully woven together up-to-date dicoveries and insights in biology, genetics, archeology, and anthropology with economic principles and historical narrative, to form a clear picture of how humanity got to where it is today, and what the future might hold for our species. He does so in an easy to understand flow that offers enough specific detail to make it facinating, without bogging down in technical arcana.
Whether you are trained in any of those foundational dicsiplines or just a curious layman I promise you will find it engrossing, entertaining, and enlightening.
The narrator, L.J. Ganzer, adds to the experience with a very smooth, well inflected delivery.
"Really Good"
I was worried that the book would be too simplistic and repetitive, but it's smart and original and full of insight. It convinced me that people's lives in the past were worse than I thought, and the future looks bright, and humanity is on a steady upward trend.
This was one of my favorite listens, and I recommend it to anyone who likes good nonfiction.
Avid audiobook addict!
"Excellent book!"
I found it thoroughly interesting and enjoyable. Unlike many scientists, this author is actually a pretty decent writer.

ATLANTA -- A massive project to find a cure for cancer is kicking off this spring, and Atlanta has the largest push for volunteers in the nation.
The Cancer Prevention Study 3 (CPS 3) will study 300,000 people in hopes of finding a cure.
They want 5,000 volunteers around metro Atlanta to be studied.
The first study was a few generations ago and found the link between smoking and cancer. CPS 2 found links between obesity and cancer.
If you volunteer, you will fill have blood drawn, your waist measured and fill out a questionnaire. Then you'll fill out another questionnaire every three years or so for the next 20 to 30 years.

Found this little beauty today in my travels. Didnt even know it was in the works with all the hype of the price increase bill. Curious as to how much or little everyone supports this bill.
No thanks, leave the system alone. The most "fair" system is a totally random draw.
I don't have a horse in this race, but one thing I have definitely noted about 20 years of point games. The politicians love to sell points, then 5-10 years later screw those who bought them by devaluing them via "rule changes". The list of states is endless. The way to screw the early investors is endless. And the politicians love to devise new ways to water down the value in an effort to get new ground floor investors' fresh money. Politicians love the smell of fresh money over old money.
In my 20 years of point buying, the only states that have not devalued my points were Arizona & New Hampshire. That is it. The worst case was Maine, where after 6 years they started peddling 10 point packs for $50 or something to newbies. Talk about cutting in line! I sure hope New Mexico does not go to any point system.
In MT, the rule change greatly aided early investors. Originally points only slightly increased your odds, but now those same points are squared.
I also have no dog in this fight but I find it disturbing that we have to discuss politicians and big game stuff in the same conversation. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Check out my post on this topic, and especially the first 2 links up at the top. Unreal bickering to steal money:
What wouldn't be fair, is when your state starts a preference point system for residents, and then 15 years down the road, you have a kid thats ready to hunt, but, he or she will never draw a good tag, because they are 15 years behind the point game.
A preference point is badly needed in WY for residents for elk, deer, and antelope. This legislation still allows for 25% of tag quota to be issued for a random draw. So that meets your idea of "fairness". 75% then is issued in the preference point system. If you look throughout the state at draw odds, most "Blue Chip" areas could be drawn in a 5 year window. This would allow guys to better plan their hunts and be assured an opportunity to hunt this area, should they choose. Their is ample opportunity to still hunt elk, deer, and antelope through 2nd and 3rd choice as well as reduced price tags. This allows for people hunt, put meat in the freezer, and build points for a future "trophy" hunt. I agree and have experienced first hand how true luck plays a role in getting opportunities to hunt. But I also was rewarded for putting in 16 years of applying/buyings points and being afforded an opportunity to hunt a trophy species. This legislation helps provide opportunities for those not as "lucky" and again boils down to all of us working hard to contribute time and dollars towards habitat and animal conservation that ultimatley puts more critters on the mountain and more tags/hunts available. I support this legislation 100%.
As a nonresident it is pretty handy to be able to know when and where you should be able to draw a tag. Frustrating sometimes to actually know the pretty much predetermined outcome but much better for makeing plans. I can see the advantages when I think about it a bit. Any change in what you may be accustomed to most likely won't be welcome at first blush.
