...Young, a cognitive psychologist, says the social comfort of a same-sex lunch partner probably makes a difference - but evolutionary instincts are also at play. The women are using food as a signal of attractiveness. "In past studies, when you compare the exact same woman either eating a meatball sub or a dainty salad, people find the salad eater more alluring and more desirable as a friend," she says. Young thinks that men, on the other hand, are probably focused on spending more money on the food instead of eating it, because evolutionary biology says that part of male...
...benefited from the program? From the manufacturers' perspective, everybody except for the luxury carmakers. Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, as well as Ford and GM's small-car lineups all experienced sizable sales increases. The perfect vehicle for the program was the sub-$20K midsize compact car. You will have a tough time finding any inventory that fits that description in most dealer lots today...
...wait and see for at least the next couple of weeks. If the auto-sales rate drops below expectations, there is always a chance Congress may come up with a similar or totally new stimulus idea, but that won't likely happen unless we experience another period of sustained sub-10 million level [in annual car sales], which I hope never happens again...
...Trees are present more among farmlands in the dense tropical areas of Southeast Asia and Central America, along with much of South America. The proportion is lower in sub-Saharan Africa - although Nobel Peace laureate Wangari Maathai's Green Belt Movement has helped plant more than 30 million trees for Africa's poor. The difference seems to come down mostly to support for tree-planting by governments or NGOs like Maathai's. In places where agroforestry is encouraged this way, trees are far likelier to bloom than in places where farmers are given no such guidance. (See TIME's special...
...virtually soundless, leaving sea creatures undisturbed and preserving a sense of the exotic. It won't take you long to get a feel for the acceleration and steering, and you won't need brakes: the coral is low-lying, and there's nothing to bump into apart from other sub-scooters (although there's little chance of that with scuba-diving guides pointing the way). Sure, the sub-scooter is too sedate for James Bond and probably rather restrictive for experienced divers, but it's still a thrilling experience for visiting water babies. A two-hour excursion, including 30 minutes...
