"Soon after the coup against the government of Salvador Allende on September 11, 1973, Chilean graduates of Friedman's economics department, who were soon dubbed the "Chicago Boys," took over the helm of the economy and launched a program of economic transformation with doctrinal vengeance. In light of his much-quoted assertion about political freedom going hand-in-hand with free markets, the irony that in Chile a free market paradise was being imposed with the bayonets of one of Latin America's most bloodstained dictatorships could not have escaped the guru. Yet Friedman visited Chile during the dictatorship, anointing the radical free-market, export-oriented thrust of the regime, praising Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet for his commitment to a "fully free market as a matter of principle," and delivering talks with a title "The Fragility of Freedom" that could only be ironic in the Chilean context.

How Hunting is Driving "Evolution in Reverse." | Newsweek Project Green | Newsweek.com
4 hours ago - newsweek.com - Link
"Some of the most iconic photographs of Teddy Roosevelt, one of the first conservationists in American politics, show the president posing companionably with the prizes of his trophy hunts. An elephant felled in Africa in 1909 points its tusks skyward; a Cape buffalo, crowned with horns in the shape of a handlebar mustache, slumps in a Kenyan swamp. In North America, he stalked deer, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep and elk, which he called "lordly game" for their majestic antlers. What's remarkable about these photographs is not that they depict a hunter who was also naturalist John Muir's staunchest political ally. It's that just 100 years after his expeditions, many of the kind of magnificent trophies he routinely captured are becoming rare." - Anna Haro via Bookmarklet
Elk still range across parts of North America, but every hunting season brings a greater challenge to find the sought-after bull with a towering spread of antlers. Africa and Asia still have elephants, but Roosevelt would have regarded most of them as freaks, because they don't have tusks. Researchers describe what's happening as none other than the selection process that Darwin made famous: the fittest of a species survive to reproduce and pass along their traits to succeeding generations, while the traits of the unfit gradually disappear. Selective hunting—picking out individuals with the best horns or antlers, or the largest piece of hide—works in reverse: the evolutionary loser is not the small and defenseless, but the biggest and best-equipped to win mates or fend off attackers. - Anna Haro
When hunting is severe enough to outstrip other threats to survival, the unsought, middling individuals make out better than the alpha animals, and the species changes. "Survival of the fittest" is still the rule, but the "fit" begin to look unlike what you might expect. And looks aren't the only things changing: behavior adapts too, from how hunted animals act to how they reproduce. There's nothing wrong with a species getting molded over time by new kinds of risk. But some experts believe problems arise when these changes make no evolutionary sense. - Anna Haro
So true. Predatory animals will hunt the weakest and oldest, leaving the strongest to live. Hunters always kill the best looking animals, screwing up the balance of the population. - Raoul Pop
weakest and oldest prove easiest to catch with minimal chance for self injury. You can see this in marine life too - whales are on a trend that show the average size is shrinking after the largest we hunted out of existence. - alphaxion

BBC NEWS | Americas | Hemingway archive opens in Cuba
4 hours ago - news.bbc.co.uk - Link
"Cuba has opened up electronic access to thousands of documents belonging to the writer Ernest Hemingway, who wrote some of his greatest works on the island. The archive includes photographs, letters and manuscripts, as well as an unpublished epilogue to Hemingway's novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls." - Anna Haro via Bookmarklet
I am aware he loved Cuba and some of his greatest work was written while there. But I am surprised his works will be displayed there and not here. So many fans, his place of birth and his home for so long. - Adriana

Turn the world into your gym - Los Angeles Times
Sunday at 11:34 am - latimes.com - Link
"Gym memberships are something of a luxury these days. But without the usual suspects -- treadmills, elliptical trainers, cable machines and free weights -- is it easy to get a decent workout? Absolutely. Just take your workout to the streets -- or the beach or the hiking trail. Southern California is a gym unto itself, with countless outdoor opportunities to exercise that don't cost a penny. Hiking trails -- in Griffith Park, the Santa Monica Mountains and Runyon Canyon, for starters -- with their hills and uneven terrain, are perfect places to practice interval training and improve cardiovascular endurance, as well as strengthen core and leg muscles. Miles of beach, glittering from San Diego to beyond Santa Barbara, are a fitness boon. Muscles must work harder when feet dig into sand, ramping up the difficulty of even the easiest workouts." - Anna Haro via Bookmarklet
And LA is perfect for any activity. Most of our parks have stuff you'll need for muscle toning, there are tons of hike, bike and running paths, free tennis, basketball and volleyball courts abound. Lawn bowling, cricket, soccer and baseball fields are all over and so many of them are underused. The article focuses on the most popular locations, but the places we go are so relaxing because they're so empty. - Anika Malone
Walking, cycling etc. are all very good exercises - of course the lousier the weather the less attractive they are. But a gym ball and a set of weights in your house are also plenty to get exercise. Get a dog too, although that costs about the same as a gym membership, possibly. - Joelle Nebbe
Actually, funny reading this as we are about to go play at the tennis courts around from our house. This park is underused, so the kids will be able to play at the top playground while we volley. The park also has an indoor pool, basketball courts, a lower playground, a field with 3 baseball fields, a soccer field that people use to do laps around and a skate park. - Anika Malone
Joelle, another thing I always suggest to people who have cable is to use FitTV via OnDemand. I have an exercise module for kids (8 - 15 exercises rom yoga to bhangra dancing) that my children do almost daily, there's a modules for yoga, pilates, aerobics, dancing, and muscle toning. If there's no time to hit the gym, turn on the TV and get cracking. - Anika Malone
The thing about outdoor exercise is that you aren't just doing one thing at a time. You are exercising *and* enjoying nature *and* looking at the pretty girls *and* going somewhere. Whereas if you are at the gym, you are a gerbil in a wheel. - Wirehead
Anika - that's really pragmatic and clever. I dont think there is a fitness channel on TV out here, but there are plenty of website-based videos. - Joelle Nebbe
Here's the link to Exercise TV (what I use regularly OnDemand): http://www.exercisetv.tv/brows... and then FitTV is very helpful and fun too:http://fittv.discovery.com/con.... Both actually help me so that when I go to the gym I'm not flailing about in a class (except for Step). - Anika Malone

"Just as you will struggle over which new devices to buy and use—iPhone or BlackBerry Storm?—media companies will struggle with how to create and pay for content in a world changing so quickly that no one knows how to get it paid for. At the same time the large media companies will be watching as customers change their consumption habits, advertising revenues drop, and creative talent goes in a hundred directions. If this was football, it would be like changing the field, the ball, the number of players and the rules at the same time. Maybe we could even throw in a BCS Playoff system to decide who wins." - Anna Haro via Bookmarklet

"Chances are you've seen a blind person accompanied by a guide dog. But what about a guide horse, a service parrot or a monkey trained to help an agoraphobic? These are just a few of the nontraditional service animals that are used across the country to help people with disabilities and psychological disorders. As their uses are expanding, however, the government is considering a proposal that would limit the definition of "service animal" to "a dog or other common domestic animal." - Anna Haro via Bookmarklet

ScienceDaily - Songs From The Sea: Deciphering Dolphin Language With Picture Words
Thursday at 2:39 pm - sciencedaily.com - Link
(Dec. 31, 2008) "In an important breakthrough in deciphering dolphin language, researchers in Great Britain and the United States have imaged the first high definition imprints that dolphin sounds make in water. The key to this technique is the CymaScope, a new instrument that reveals detailed structures within sounds, allowing their architecture to be studied pictorially. Using high definition audio recordings of dolphins, the research team, headed by English acoustics engineer, John Stuart Reid, and Florida-based dolphin researcher, Jack Kassewitz, has been able to image, for the first time, the imprint that a dolphin sound makes in water. The resulting "CymaGlyphs," as they have been named, are reproducible patterns that are expected to form the basis of a lexicon of dolphin language, each pattern representing a dolphin 'picture word." - Anna Haro via Bookmarklet

Is that a cedar waxwing like the ones we rarely see here in Indiana? I really like those. They're so hard to find. I wonder where they hang out all the time. Goldfinches are similarly hard to find. - Kamilah Gill

Yep, looks like a Cedar Waxwing, but it has more *color* on the wings than ours which only have yellow tips on the tail feathers and a little yellow on the wings, no black, white red on the wings (some nice color is on the face though)... hmmm - Susan Beebe
That's a Bohemian Waxwing. Same genus, different species. :) The entire Bombycilla genus is absolutely lovely, IMO. I love the crazy little crest on the head and the blends of colors their feathers have... - Amanda H.
