Helping Aging American Women See Their Value

DateThursday, March 18, 2010 at 7:32AM

Body|Beauty|Sex Today’s NYTimes Style section introduces Dr. Vivian Diller and Dr. Jill Muir-Sukenick who are ‘trying to help’ american women deal with the demoralizing challenges of aging in America.

At a time when cosmetic surgery is increasingly seen as a casual endeavor, and anti-aging injections as inevitable, “Face It” gives women practical steps to parse how they feel about this beauty paradox. “Should women simply grow old naturally, since their looks don’t define them, or should they fight the signs of aging, since beauty and youth are their currency and power?” the authors ask in their book.

DateThursday, March 18, 2010 at 6:48AM

Love | Peace Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has distanced himself from his brother=in=law Hagai Ben-Artzi’s accusations that US President Obama is an antisemite who hates Israel.

Hagai Ben-Artzi, the brother of the Israeli premier’s wife, said on Israeli Army Radio that the US president dislikes Netanyahu and the Israeli people because he had spent years in the church of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who he said is “antisemitic, anti-Israeli, and anti-Jewish.” Obama once declared the fiery liberal Chicago preacher was his spiritual mentor but disavowed him during the campaign. via Guardian UK

Representative Dale E. Kildee, Democrat of Michigan, said the abortion restrictions were sufficient to win his vote.

Wild Vervet Monkeys Pay More Attention to Female Monkey Teachers

DateWednesday, March 17, 2010 at 10:33AM

GreenTracker| BBC News reports that scientists studying wild vervet monkeys in South Africa were better able to learn a task when it was demonstrated by a female. Before readers jump to conclusions, this isn’t a story about superior female brains.

Read the details of this first known experiement on social primates living in the wild, and not in captivity. After concluding that females were better teachers than male monkeys, head researcher Biologist Erica van de Waal, from the University of Neuchatel in Switzerland is quick to explain that the male monkeys didn’t fail being good teachers of how to open the boxes but rather than monkeys of both sexes paid more attention to female monkeys.

Flowering Plants May Have Evolved In 25-75 Million Years Earlier

DateWednesday, March 17, 2010 at 9:34AM

GreenTracker| Previous studies on the evolution of flowering plants believe that they first arose 140 to 190 million years ago. A new paper to be published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences argues that flowering plants (angiosperms) actually appeared 25 to 75 million years earlier.

“If you just looked at the fossil record, you would say that angiosperms originated in the early Cretaceous or late Jurassic,” said Michael Donoghue of Yale University. “Most molecular divergence times have shown that they might be older than that,” added Yale biologist Jeremy Beaulieu.

Gen Petraeus Testifies Israel-Palestinian Conflict Is Major Source of US Problems in Middle East

DateWednesday, March 17, 2010 at 8:42AM

Love|Peace In spite of Israeli media and pundits denying that the Israel|Palestinian conflict is a major source of anti-American hatred in the region, Gen.

On last night’s PBS Newshour, the pro-Israeli position was that Israel|Palestine conflict is one of 20 problems for America in the region, not a primary one.

DateWednesday, March 17, 2010 at 7:00AM

GlobeTracker| Global multinationals are reassessing their business relationships with China, as the evolving largest economy in the world does the same with them.

4000 Year-Old Ying | Yang Sexual Symbolism Mummies

DateTuesday, March 16, 2010 at 11:36PM

DolceTracker| While women were recast as decadent creatures responsible for the downfall of man further west in the desert, men and women enjoyed a robust, fertile celebration of life in China, 4000 years ago. Yes, this Chinese cemetery looks like a place of phallic worship, and it was. Don’t jump to conclusions. Mummified men were traveling into the heavens with vulva totems at their side. In fact, certain female mummies were the most glorified of all.

4000 years ago “The whole of the Small River Cemetery was blanketed with blatant sexual symbolism,” Dr. Mair wrote. In his view, the “obsession with procreation” reflected the importance the community attached to fertility. Read on Chinese Mummies Blanketed in Sexual Symbolism.
