...species label was not supposed to be a permanent thing. A long-term goal of the federal act was to get animals to the point at which they could be removed from the list. In the case of the grizzly, the outlook is even brighter than the population numbers suggest. The original bear-recovery plan put together by the FWS called for a minimum of 15 cub-bearing females every year. Yellowstone easily exceeds that, averaging 40 for each of the past six years. What's more, those mothers are not in just one cub-friendly part of the park...
...here we are in a hot, stuffy room, on the floor, on a beautiful sunny day when the little kids would rather be running around and the older ones would rather be doing the opposite of whatever I suggest. An hour or more to kill, a bi-weekly camper-published newspaper that begs for content, and six-year-olds climbing up the wall—or ten-year-olds providing a screaming symphony, or 13-year-olds trying to stare you down...
...only a few--Will Smith, Queen Latifah, Mos Def--are regularly called on to play something other than big-screen versions of themselves. Undoubtedly there are studio heads with limited conceptions of what those (mostly African-American) selves can be, yet there's also plenty of evidence to suggest that some rappers treat acting as an entitlement rather than a calling.

The mechanism of creation is left unspecified. If God, who is all powerful and who is not limited by space and time, chose to use the mechanism of evolution to create you and me, who are we to say that wasn't an absolutely elegant plan...
...there safety concerns? I suggest that you correspond for a while. Experts suggest three months. I think that's a little long. Six weeks sounds like a long time too, but I think that's wise. If you think there's something going there, then have a date in a public place. Going for coffee or a drink after work is very good. You can always extend the date; that's what my husband did. When we agreed to meet for drinks, he said he had a meeting afterward. Then, over the drink, he said, "You know, that meeting...
