Publisher's Summary
An exposé of pseudoscientific myths about our evolutionary past and how we should live today.
We evolved to eat berries rather than bagels, to live in mud huts rather than condos, to sprint barefoot rather than play football - or did we? Are our bodies and brains truly at odds with modern life? Although it may seem as though we have barely had time to shed our hunter-gatherer legacy, biologist Marlene Zuk reveals that the story is not so simple. Popular theories about how our ancestors lived - and why we should emulate them - are often based on speculation, not scientific evidence.
Armed with a razor-sharp wit and brilliant, eye-opening research, Zuk takes us to the cutting edge of biology to show that evolution can work much faster than was previously realized, meaning that we are not biologically the same as our caveman ancestors.
Contrary to what the glossy magazines would have us believe, we do not enjoy potato chips because they crunch just like the insects our forebears snacked on. And women don't go into shoe-shopping frenzies because their prehistoric foremothers gathered resources for their clans.
As Zuk compellingly argues, such beliefs incorrectly assume that we're stuck - finished evolving - and have been for tens of thousands of years. She draws on fascinating evidence that examines everything from adults' ability to drink milk to the texture of our ear wax to show that we've actually never stopped evolving.
From debunking the caveman diet to unraveling gender stereotypes, Zuk delivers an engrossing analysis of widespread paleofantasies and the scientific evidence that undermines them, all the while broadening our understanding of our origins and what they can really tell us about our present and our future.

Love a good discussion of Evolution and not....
Excellent discussion of Evolution and a lot of current health trends. I have found that many people don't begin to understand evolution. In particular they seem to see evolution as a directing force towards some optimal form. However, that assumes a static system so there can be some optimal form. I think the author does a thorough job of debunking that particular fantasy. The other fantasy she goes after is that there was once some idealized state of man before the fall, which lately seems to be staked to the rise of agriculture. She references a lot of interesting evidence of what our species was and was doing which challenges most or perhaps, all of the notions of what she refers to as paleofantacists. It's interesting to see evidence based on dental plaque on our most ancient remains. If you are trying to eat like our ancestors, or exercise like our ancestors because you believe that it is inherently better, you'll likely be wrong. On the exercise front, it appears that a lot of the notions of what we were doesn't line up with the evidence either. I think this is an important read. I feel more prepared when some paleo zealot wants to drone on endlessly about the truth of our ancestry, and I can ask how he or she knows that, and be able to challenge them better. I may be a curmudgeon on the subject, but I get bored with folks treating pseudoscience reverentially. Look, if it's what you want to believe, and it doesn't interfere with me, you go right ahead. Just don't try and muddle science and call it gospel. Go do the research from people who study genetics, anthropology, paleontology, and stay away from the cranks, please.

Dropping some evolution knowledge!
Paleofantasy was an enlightening, if expansive, book for me. I don't think I read the subtitle before picking the book, or I may have been a tad bit less surprised by the evolution and anthropology lessons I received. I expected more of a straightforward discussion of the Paleo-type diet - they say eat these foods, Marlene Zuk says eat these foods. Diet books often play out this way. Paleofantasy is so much more than a diet book, however. It is a series of lessons behind many of the concepts in evolution, with studies cited to explain certain points.
The chapters are: 1) Cavemen in Condos, 2) Are We Stuck?, 3) Crickets, Sparrows, and Darwins -- or Evolution before Our Eyes, 4) The Perfect Paleofantasy: Milk, 5) The Perfect Paleofantasy: Meat, Grains, and Cooking, 6) Exercising the Paleofantasy, 7) Paleofantasy Love, 8) The Paleofantasy Family, 9) Paleofantasy in Sickness and in Health, 10) Are we still Evolving? A Tale of Genes, Altitude, and Earwax.
Zuk does a great job of staying neutral, addressing the misconceptions and assumptions that many Americans have about our Paleolithic ancestors. Instead of trying to make a specific case (stop doing this, do it this way instead) she just wants to set the record straight. She addresses everything from the idea of cavemen needing to spread their seed for the survival of our species, to our paleolithic ancestors' ability to consume grains and evolution of the digestion of grains, to barefoot running. Paleofantasy is filled with the usual inconclusive terms of science Americans hate to hear, such as "it is hard to know for sure" and "this is more complicated than it seems".
As you can imagine, in a book that takes an entire chapter to discuss a human's ability to digest milk, there is a huge amount of information presented. At some points I felt like it was too much to be hearing rather than reading on the page. I listened to some chapters twice just to absorb their info. This is "just the facts" journalism, not dressed up in a more pop non-fiction style like many current non-fiction books that aim to create a more vivid experience.
I really appreciated Laura Darrell's narration. She sounded so excited/amused through the whole book, and she really enunciated her books. I can't stand narrators who fail to really enunciate, as sometimes I can't make out what they are saying.
This book affirmed my faith in the advice Michael Pollan: "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants". Pollan often talks about how little we truly know about the food we eat and what happens to it inside our bodies, he talks about how limited the science of nutrition and digestion is today. Paleofantasy illustrates we don't know much, and we have a long way to go before finding the "best" way to eat, move our bodies, and be with each other.

Clever narative device, covers many topics
The author uses the clever narrative device of using modern day caveman wannabes incorrect beliefs and tells a story that teaches the reader about prehistory, evolution, psychology, diet, genetics and etc.
She'll state an incorrect caveman wannabe belief. Show why it's absurd. State that "the truth is much more complex than that", and give all the relative current science on that matter and how it doesn't really make sense. All the while doing it in a highly listenable way because the topics are always interesting.
This is a good book. She's not a great writer and sometimes takes multiple paragraphs to say something that should have been said in a single paragraph. The narrator is not a great narrator either.
I'd much prefer an interesting topic presently poorly than a boring topic presented well. If you have an interest in how we fit into the universe (and who doesn't?), I'd recommend this book strongly.

Overview of our evolution!
Also a overview and explanation of why we can't go back to our ancestors diet and lifestyle. We have to evolve just like our gens have. But also a hint that we have to consider our past diet and lifestyle as a starting place to a modern and healthy diet and lifestyle. Great overview and easy to understand.

What should we really eat?
Among the current dietary and lifestyle fads is the paleo diet--the idea that we evolved to eat like our paleolithic ancestors, and have had too little time to evolve to suit our current lifestyle and diet. Marlene Zuk looks at the actual science, including what our paleolithic ancestors really ate, and how long it really takes for natural selection to spread changes in what foods we can digest and how.
I should say up front that Zuk isn't against eating a paleo diet, if that's what works for you. What she's arguing against here is the idea that paleo, or any other highly specific diet, is or can be the One True Way.
The archaeological evidence says our ancestors were eating grains and root vegetables much earlier than previously thought. Also that just like contemporary humans, populations in different areas ate different things, based on what was available locally. The idea that paleolithic humans only ate meat, fruits, and maybe some non-starchy vegetables is as unfounded as the idea that eating meat is "unnatural" despite the ample evidence that our ancestors have been eating meat for at least two million years.
What we do see when we look at modern humans is that, whether living in "developed" countries or maintaining something close to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, diets vary widely depending on what's readily available and culturally acceptable to the people doing the eating. Hunter-gatherers in coastal regions eat a lot of fish. More inland hunter-gatherers eat a lot more plant foods, but the animal foods they eat are a lot more likely to be mammals than fish. Most Western populations don't make much, if any, use of insects as food, though they are valued as a tasty, convenient source of protein in many other cultures.
The evidence we do have for paleolithic hunter-gatherers, as far as we've been able to find it, is that they had similarly diverse diets, based on what was available in their regions.
The other part of the equation is, how fast can we evolve changes in what we can easily digest? Here, the evidence is that the paleo enthusiasts, as well as other, differently extreme, diet advocates, have it wrong.
Consider milk. Most people reading this review will have grown up in a culture that regards milk as a healthy food. Most will also be aware of some people who have "milk intolerance," the inability to digest milk because their bodies stopped manufacturing the necessary enzyme, lactase, in infancy.
What you may or may not realize, depending on your background, is that ending lactase production after weaning is normal, in humans and pretty much all other mammals. Adult milk consumption is weird, really.
But in people descended from populations that had a pastoralist lifesstyle--following herds or keeping herds of cattle, horses, goats, etc., eating milk and milk products is normal, while in places that have been long-settled and long-civilized, such as China, the mammalian norm of hardly anyone producing lactase after weaning is the norm for the human populations there, too.
In populations where people lived a pastoralist lifestyle for a long time, that minority of the original population who kept producing lactase into adulthood were more successful, and had more offspring, and that mutation became widespread. And this happened fairly quickly, starting no more than about 7,000 years ago.
What's even more interesting is that while the mutation that continues lactase production is the most common route to adult milk consumption, in some populations, a different path to the same result occurred. Zuk describes populations that, instead of producing lactase as adultss, seem to have a different mix of gut bacteria. Gut bacteria do a lot of the work of digestion, and these populations have a mix of gut bacteria that helps them digest milk.
My discussion of this is not nearly as interesting as Zuk's. If I've interested you at all, or touched on things you think could be interesting if discussed better, do read the book.
Highly recommended.
I bought this book.

Interesting and well researched
In addressing the various themes of "our stone age bodies/minds aren't designed for modern life" the author covers a lot of ground, but she still leaves some areas unexplored. The performance matches the sometimes serious, sometimes funny text well.
The author uses evolutionary science to debunk several claims regarding modern diets, fitness regimens, child rearing and relationships. Unfortunately, she only chooses to address concepts that she seems confident she can refute. While she convincingly argues for the plasticity of our genome, there certainly are ancient limitations that we are stuck with (our poor grasp of probability, our low genetic diversity, the fallacy of multi-tasking).
Her discussions are evidence based but she mostly avoids directly citing papers and studies. However, this leaves many discussions meandering in a grey area between opinion/interpretation and hard facts.
She tempers her criticism of the "paleo" movement with wit and empathy for those people trying live a better life. I believe adherents of the paleo-lifestyle who are interested in the other side of the argument could enjoy the book.

The title sounded interesting - however it takes forever for the author to make her points. It's not that I disagree with her conclusions, rather her style of writing makes the book just too tedious for me to care what they are.

Very Entertaining Strawman
I picked this up so impulsively that I didn't read the description carefully. Thus, I was surprised to find that the author organized the book to take on and refute the 'urban paleo diet' movement. Since I have never found the 'urban paleo diet' movement credible anyway, this approach would not have appealed to me. I might never have read it, and that would have been my loss. It's a good book, and the author takes a glee in noting grim details and bursting myths. The details about human anatomy and running were interesting; her take on continuing evolution with respect to human diet, illness, and microbes was fascinating. I hope that in her next book she foregoes the artifice of taking down online commenters, though - she doesn't need that shtick, her science writing is engaging as it is.

A Brilliant Book With Awful Narration
The narrator appears to be struggling with reading throughout. It's awkwardly paced, phrased and she has a whining tone on top of that. This is a shame because the data within is fascinating and I learned an awful lot about evolutionary biology from this text. I, cautiously, recommend this but I am thinking reading it would be far less painful than listening to it. One of the worst things about this is that the author clearly has a good sense of humor and a keen wit and it's completely butchered by the reading of this work. I would love to read more by this author but I'd prefer to avoid the narrator completely in future.

It may not be what you want to hear, but it's important to hear!
Marlene Zuk has done a solid job of pulling together research from multiple arenas of science to back up everything she is explaining. She uses great analogies and helps us to understand more clearly our own evolutionary past and future.
I would have rated this book higher, but at some points I struggled to make sense of what was being said. I think I'm going to get a hard copy of this book so that I can more fully digest her claims and information. While not a "beginners guide" to evolution and natural selection and the science behind how we understand it, Zuk does a really good job of helping to make the complex understandable.
I teach high school biology so I probably have more background then the average listener, but this book is so important for everyone to at least think about. She lays out a very strong case for why it is false to think that humans are "done" evolving and that natural selection does not still work on us.
Her treatment of the Paleo crowd is not harsh but is not particularly kind. She is more matter-of-fact and clearly explains why our fantasy with all things Paleo is just that, a fantasy.
A solid listen, but I think it would be a better physical read. If you don't have the time for it though, listening is the next best thing.

Tex on target for Sunday; roster ramifications unclear
ST. PETERSBURG -- Mark Teixeira singled in five Minor League at-bats on Friday and is moving closer to being activated by the Yankees, who are planning on having him in the lineup on Sunday against the Rays at Tropicana Field.
Teixeira, who is on the 15-day disabled list with a Grade 1 strain of his right hamstring, played five innings at first base on Friday at the Yankees' Himes Avenue complex. He is scheduled to play seven innings on Saturday.
"Another good day," Teixeira told The Associated Press. "Couldn't be happier with how it's progressing."
Teixeira injured his hamstring while reaching for a foul ball on April 4 in Toronto.
"Just as long as he's feeling good, I think, is the important thing," manager Joe Girardi said. "So far, everything has been good."
Girardi said that the Yankees have not yet decided who will come off the 25-man roster to make room for Teixeira.
"There's too much that can happen in two days," Girardi said. "We'll figure that out when we have to."
Teixeira will have company on Saturday at the complex; right-hander David Robertson (left groin strain) is scheduled to pitch in a game as he prepares to be activated from the DL on Tuesday.
Infielder Brendan Ryan (cervical spine nerve injury) is also in game action, tuning up to join the big league club sometime in May.
"It's nice to be almost a player again," said Ryan, who played in his last Spring Training game on March 4. "It's coming along great."

Siliconera:Team Ninja is one of the early third party Wii U developers and when we met with studio head Yosuke Hayashi we asked him we he thought about Nintendo's new console.
The entire article they treated the game like a full third party game without mentioning that Nintendo published this additional content title.
They are only removing the QTE's which is great but the game will still be missing on tons of stuff like:
obligeration techniques
no advance UT by absorbing orbs
only 1 ninpo
poor selection of weapons
no store
no items
no lvl up system for the weapons
And all of this will be on the Wii U version plus Ayane and the other girls from prior games will be playable too.
they transformed one of the best hack n slash titles to shit

Schloss Prielau was first documented in 1425, with a Christian Glaser zu Prielau named. In the 16th century the castle was rebuilt and gained the design it keeps today.
Over the following centuries, Schloss Prielau changed owners many times. The last prince bishop to use the castle was Sigmund Christoph von Zeil and Trauchburg. His emblem can still be seen today at the castle gate.
In 1932 Gerti von Hofmannsthal, the widow of Hugo von Hofmannsthal, bought the estate and restored the castle. In the Second World War the family was dispossessed and sculptor Josef Thorak was able to acquire the castle. After the war the Hofmannsthal family then had their estate returned.
In 1987 the Porsche family bought the property and converted the castle into a hotel.
Since 2004 the castle has been managed by Anette and Andreas Mayer, who treat guests at the hotel and Mayer's gourmet restaurant.

5 Email Basics To Keep Your Subscribers HappyJillian Smith
Happy email subscribers equal happy and healthy email programs. For us, happiness begins with solid permission marketing techniques (thank you Seth Godin), low bounces rates, solid content, and… a smile. Get started with the 5 tips below… your customers will thank you. 😉
1. Ask Permission, Host a Preference Center
Watch out for email fatigue. Sending too much email to your subscribers can drive high unsubscribe and/or complaint rates. Offer a preference center so users can choose what updates they'd like to receive from you and how often they would like to receive them. Here's a great example from everyday design company, Fab.
2. Keep a Clean List, Avoid Traps
A clean, well-managed subscriber list can be your best asset, whereas "dirty" lists with out-of-date information are a leading cause of deliverability failures and are sure to damage your sending reputation. List hygiene is the process of removing "bad" addresses in a timely manner. Good list hygiene practices are essential to avoiding spam traps and keeping your bounce rates low—key drivers of your reputation. (What are spam traps and bounce rates you ask? Check out our spam trap and bounce management posts for more info.)
Implementing regular reconfirmation/win-back campaigns is also a good way to ensure that your lists stay clean. These campaigns help you remove unengaged users so your lists are up to date. One of my teammates here at SendGrid notes that often senders won't clean their lists for 10 years (!) and when they do, it's a big shock when they remove the unengaged users form their lists. The analogy he likes to share with senders is, "If you haven't cleaned your house in 10 years, you are going to run into some funky stuff." Kind of makes you want to drop everything and clean your list, right?
3. Send a Welcome Message
Begin your relationship with your subscriber with a smile—give them a warm, and personal welcome. What do we mean? Our Director of Revenue Marketing, Carly Brantz, breaks down the basics of creating a memorable welcome message in our recent blog post.
4. Follow the Law
Be sure to comply with the federal CAN-SPAM Act. The CAN-SPAM Act is geared towards marketing email (with transactional email technically being exempt), but we advise that senders follow its regulations regardless of what type of email they send. Here's a look at some of the act's guidelines:
- Have a working unsubscribe mechanism in the footer and/or header of all email communications.
- Include your official business street address in the footer of all email communications. This should be your corporate headquarters or another address where official communications are handled. It cannot be a P.O. Box.
- Handle all unsubscribe requests within 10 business days. This means when someone asks to be removed from your list, you must suppress that email address from future mailings within 10 business days. This is the minimum, and ideally the suppression should occur within 24 hours.
Complying with CAN-SPAM is ultimately the bare minimum when it comes to sending email. We recommend stepping it up a notch and going above and beyond CAN-SPAM by following the recommendations we outline in our Deliverability Guide.
5. Send Good Email
This sounds obvious, but it can be harder than it sounds! There is no secret formula to sending email that works. But there are certainly steps that can help—a few of which are outlined above. Here are some basic questions you should ask yourself before you hit send:
- Have I asked my subscribers what kind of content they want to receive?
- Will my subscribers want to read this email?
- Have I included both an HTML and a plain text version?
- Is my email responsive?
- Is my email a positive reflection of my brand?
- Is my messaging consistent from my subject line, to my header, to my body copy, to my conclusion. (Look at your email as a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end. )
And overall… Am I getting the right message, to the right subscriber, at the right time?
Keep these 5 suggestions in mind as you evaluate your list and your email content! Also, subscribe to the blog for more suggestions that will keep you and your customers in an email happy place!

I, Leah Flores, had loved photography, illustration, & everything creative since I was a little kid, but had no roadmap as to how to turn that passion into a career. I entered college on an athletic and academic scholarship, but changed my major a million times (six to be exact), because nothing felt right. I went hiking and camping with friends on the weekend and would come back to my dorm and print out the photos from the trip to hang on my dorm's walls. One day I uploaded my photos online to see if anyone else happened to like them too. Turns out - quite a few people did. Over the next few years my brand has developed into a team of artists that work with global brands to create unique, creative content
This is a black and white photograph overlooking Yosemite Valley with Yosemite Falls plunging 2,425 feet in the center of the valley.
Decorate your Samsung Galaxy with a piece of unique artwork. We have cases for Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge models in the classic or wallet styles.

1794 Laurie and Whittle Nautical Map of the Mahe and Amirantes Islands, SeychellesSeychelles-lauriewhittle-1794
1794 Laurie and Whittle Nautical Map of the Mahe and Amirantes Islands, SeychellesSeychelles-lauriewhittle-1794
An early nautical chart of the Seychelles.
1794 (dated) 18 x 23.5 in (45.72 x 59.69 cm) 1 : 900000
The map offers rich detail including countless depth soundings, notes on the sea floor, commentary on reefs, rhumb lines, shoals, place names and a wealth of other practical information for the mariner. As noted in the title, Laurie and Whittle derived this map from an earlier survey completed the Frenchman Monsieur le Vicomte Grenier made in 1776. This map was published by Laurie and Whittle from their offices at 53 Fleet Street, London, on May 12, 1794.
Laurie and Whittle (fl. 1794 - 1858) were London, England, based map and atlas publishers active in the late 18th and early 19th century. Generally considered to be the successors to the Robert Sayer firm, Laurie and Whittle was founded by Robert Laurie (c. 1755 - 1836) and James Whittle (1757-1818). Robert Laurie was a skilled mezzotint engraver and is known to have worked with Robert Sayer on numerous projects. James Whittle was a well-known London socialite and print seller whose Fleet Street shop was a popular haunt for intellectual luminaries. The partnership began taking over the general management of Sayer's firm around 1787; however, they did not alter the Sayer imprint until after Sayer's death in 1794. Apparently Laurie did most of the work in managing the firm and hence his name appeared first in the "Laurie and Whittle" imprint. Together Laurie and Whittle published numerous maps and atlases, often bringing in other important cartographers of the day, including Kitchin, Faden, Jefferys and others to update and modify their existing Sayer plates. Robert Laurie retired in 1812, leaving the day to day management of the firm to his son, Richard Holmes Laurie (1777 - 1858). Under R. H. Laurie and James Whittle, the firm renamed itself "Whittle and Laurie". Whittle himself died six years later in 1818, and thereafter the firm continued under the imprint of "R. H. Laurie". After R. H. Laurie's death the publishing house and its printing stock came under control of Alexander George Findlay, who had long been associated with Laurie and Whittle. Since, Laurie and Whittle has passed through numerous permeations, with part of the firm still extant as an English publisher of maritime or nautical charts, 'Imray, Laurie, Norie and Wilson Ltd.' The firm remains the oldest surviving chart publisher in Europe.

Dinner Tonight: Shredded Romaine Salad Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Making a great salad has never really been a question of time. Most can be mixed together in a matter of minutes, and this one is no different. What is different about this little beast, beyond the cute presentation, is how it turns the normal Greek salad on its head by removing ingredients instead adding them. It's simply romaine, green onions, dill, lemon, oil, and salt. I added a little feta just to be horribly difficult, but that's really all you need.
I found this recipe in Jim Botsacos's The New Greek Cuisine, a book I wish I had the courage to tackle more often. (Most of his recipes look fantastic, if a tad complex). It's only natural that I'd drift to the one that can be whipped up in less than five minutes.
Shredded Romaine Salad
- Yield:Serves 4
- 1 head of Romaine
- 4 green onions
- 1 bunch of fresh dill
- 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Feta
- Salt
Separate the romaine leaves from the heart. Wash the leaves and dry. Lay about four leaves on top of each other and thinly slice crosswise. Repeat with the other leaves until done. Toss in a large bowl.
Thinly slice the green onions and add them to the romaine. Finely chop the dill.
Add the juice of 1 lemon, and the oil until properly dressed. Top with crumbled feta.

From Florida to Arizona, what to watch for this spring
Ten storylines worth following as teams get back on field to prepare for new season
With Spring Training camps opening in Arizona and Florida this week, baseball can turn its attention back to the field. The business takes a back seat and teams can focus on getting their rosters in shape for the start of the season.
The talks turn from free-agent pursuits and blockbuster trades to position battles and the health of players attempting comebacks.
Here are 10 storylines to watch:
Yankees: Who's on third?
... and first and second and shortstop? Not advancing to the postseason for the second time in 19 seasons, the Yankees made a splash, landing Japanese right-hander Masahiro Tanaka after signing free-agent outfielders Carlos Beltran and Jacoby Ellsbury and catcher Brian McCann. What they didn't do was answer the questions about an infield in upheaval.
Second baseman Robinson Cano signed a 10-year, $240 million deal with the Mariners. Third baseman Alex Rodriguez finally accepted a season-long suspension for violating baseball's PED policy. And first baseman Mark Teixeira and shortstop Derek Jeter are coming off serious injuries that virtually wiped out their 2013 seasons. The Yanks can cross their fingers for a return of Teixeira from wrist surgery, who will turn 34 on April 11, and Jeter from the broken left ankle, but he will be 40 in June. Are Brian Roberts at second and journeymen Brendan Ryan at shortstop and Kelly Johnson at third really answers for a team with postseason aspirations?
A's: The little guys who could
The A's have found a formula for success and it doesn't cost a lot. They are coming off back-to-back division titles despite ranking 29th out of 30 teams in Opening Day payroll in 2012 and 27th in '13. They ignored the Angels' landing of Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson two years ago, and Josh Hamilton prior to last season. Now they also have challenges issued by Seattle, which shook up the baseball scene by signing Cano and then also adding free agents Corey Hart and Fernando Rodney, and Texas, which traded for Prince Fielder and signed Shin-Soo Choo. Oakland's response? The A's took a risk on pitchers Scott Kazmir, Jim Johnson and Eric O'Flaherty, and let it be known they aren't the least bit intimidated by the deep pockets of their rivals.
Rangers: Who has Washington's back?
The Rangers have not met expectations in each of the past two seasons, watching the A's win the American League West, while also losing Wilson and Hamilton to free agency. They bolstered their roster with a $268 million commitment in which they acquired Fielder from Detroit (which picked up $30 million of the $168 million he's due the next seven years) and signed Choo to a seven-year, $130 million deal. What Texas didn't do was give manager Ron Washington any love. He goes into the spring in the final year of his contract and no longer has the security of backer Nolan Ryan, who lost a power struggle that resulted in his resignation as CEO.
Red Sox: Second time around
A year ago, the Red Sox became only the 11th team in Major League history to go from last to first, and the only one other than the 1991 Twins to cap such a season by winning a World Series. Can they repeat their success in 2014? Of the 10 previous teams that went from worst to first, only two won back-to-back division titles: the Braves in 1991-92 and the Cubs in 2007-08. Boston lost Ellsbury and potentially shortstop Stephen Drew to free agency, and it's looking for unproven replacements to pick up the slack. The candidates for center field are Jackie Bradley Jr., who struck out 31 times in 95 big league at-bats last year, and Grady Sizemore, attempting to come back at the age of 31 after missing the better part of the past four seasons. Xander Bogaerts, 21, gets the shot at shortstop after only 60 games at the Triple-A level.
Tigers: New kid on the block
Jim Leyland took his likely Hall of Fame managerial resume into retirement after taking the Tigers to three straight AL Central titles. Enter Brad Ausmus. A graduate of Dartmouth College who arrives with his only managerial experience being his time with Team Israel in the World Baseball Classic, Ausmus inherits a veteran team. However, he has never let odds get in his way. He was a 48th-round Draft choice of the Yankees and an Expansion Draft pick of the Rockies, who dealt him because Bob Gebhard, then the general manager, didn't want Ausmus to block the development of Jayhawk Owens. Ausmus' answer to the questions about his ability? An 18-year big league career, including three with Detroit. He won three Gold Glove Awards and was considered one of the game's premier handlers of pitchers.
Nationals: Making up for lost time
After winning the National League East in 2012 but getting knocked out in the postseason, the Nationals were expected to make a major statement last year and send manager Davey Johnson into retirement with a World Series ring. So much for expectations. They finished 10 games behind Atlanta and were a combined 7-24 against the three NL division winners, leaving the franchise that began as the Montreal Expos in 1969 as the only one other than Seattle to have never appeared in a World Series. With Johnson having moved on, GM Mike Rizzo went to the other extreme and brought in former Arizona third-base coach Matt Williams, who has no regular-season managerial history on his resume.
Cardinals: Shuffling the Cards
From Tony La Russa to Mike Matheny, nothing seems to change in St. Louis. No team in the NL has won more regular-season games -- 538 -- over the past six seasons than the Cards, who have reached at least the NL Championship Series in each of the past three seasons, during which they won a World Series and lost another. The Cardinals have not been afraid to juggle their roster, and this offseason was no different. They have new faces at three of the four spots up the middle. Joining incumbent catcher Yadier Molina in the projected lineup are shortstop Jhonny Peralta, second baseman Kolten Wong, and center fielder Peter Bourjos. Bourjos' acquisition from the Angels will allow Allen Craig to slide over to right field, vacated when Beltran left.
Pirates: Time for the next step
So much for the celebration in the Steel City. Yes, the Pirates ended two decades of decay last season, winning 94 games and an NL Wild Card spot en route to their first postseason appearance and winning record since 1992. The Bucs and their fans felt like a major burden had been lifted. Manager Clint Hurdle, however, has made it clear that there's no satisfaction in what happened last year. The Pirates didn't win a division title, and they didn't get to the World Series. And that, said Hurdle, are the goals he has set for this season. The Bucs haven't been to the World Series since they knocked off Baltimore in 1979. Since that time, 27 other teams have been to the World Series (aforementioned Seattle and Washington are the others who have not been there), and 19 of them have won at least one World Series title.
Dodgers: The pressure is on
The great debate about manager Don Mattingly ended when he was signed to a three-year extension, but it's not like there will be any dull moments at Dodger Stadium. The new ownership has made it clear that money is no object and winning is the only acceptable result. In the owners' two years, the Dodgers' payroll has more than doubled from the $104 million of 2011. It's Mattingly who is expected to keep the egos checked at the clubhouse door. Given his experience as a Yankees player and coach in the days of The Boss, Mattingly has the perfect personality to go undistracted by outside influences.
Giants: It's time, again
The Giants have won two of the past four World Series. Each time, they stumbled the following year, in part because their rotation wasn't as consistent. San Francisco wondered if it could be the residual of workloads made heavier by an extra month of pitching in the postseason. Something certainly went haywire. Matt Cain had been the ace until last year, when he was 8-10 with a 4.00 ERA, but that came after a three-season stretch in which he worked 715 2/3 innings, including the postseason. Will he bounce back after a career-low 184 1/3 innings last year? Ditto Ryan Vogelsong, who after going 14-9 with a 3.37 ERA in 2012 was limited to 19 starts, 103 2/3 innings and a 4-6 record with a 5.73 ERA.

We are almost half way through Ranger's first year or life and training to become a Conservation K9! He really did not seem to grow much the first few weeks but now he is just growing like a weed and turning into a very handsome Golden Retriever!!
Ranger's training continues to progress. We train each weekend with the Search and Rescue team, as well as attend puppy obedience class. We trained at a couple novel locations this month, which was great to see how he reacted, and not surprisingly he did just fine. One day we had a short training session at my local UPS store here in Brenham, TX where Ranger was allowed to run around off leash, do some short sit, down, sit exercises and then I did a lot of playing with him. At one point I threw his beloved toy onto a pile of discarded cardboard boxes and he, without hesitation, clambered up to retrieve his toy. This is a really great sign at such a young age that he has potential to be a successful detection dog because it shows that he will do quite a bit to get his toy, even if it is a little scary or uncomfortable!
A week later I took Ranger to Lowe's and he got to run up and down the lumber department, retrieved his toy off a few piles of wood and even jumped onto a very tipsy lumber cart multiple times to get his toy back… I was very pleased!!
Of course wherever we go Ranger gets to meet new people, and I am thrilled with his temperament because he is an absolute love bug with everyone he meets. I have decided that he has a definite backup career as a therapy dog one day!!
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
As Ranger's training has progressed, Dogs for Conservation has also made some big strides lately. We have assembled what I like to call a "Dream Team" consisting of several amazing detection dog trainers, and thanks to one of them, Sgt. Renee Utley, we also have several fantastic dogs who are old enough and have what it takes to immediately start training for Conservation Projects. One of these new dogs is a Springer Spaniel named "Bea" who has an keen nose, absolutely loves her ball, and is starting her new career in Conservation next week as she begins training to search for one of Texas' most endangered species!
Dogs for Conservation has teamed up with the highly esteemed Caesar Kleburg Wildlife Research Institute (CKWRI) at Texas A&M University in Kingsville, TX to start training dogs for a couple different research projects that will be very useful to biologists to survey for these endangered species they are studying. The CKWRI instantly recognized the value and potential to use dogs to assist in their various research areas, and I believe we are going to be working with them for a long time. One of these soon-to-be-announced projects is also in collaboration with one of my favorite childhood places, the Houston Zoo!
I am also happy to announce that we have had several new sponsors come on board this month including Micah Jones from Blue Giraffe Art Works who donated a commissioned portrait of a CenTex Search and Rescue dog we work with regularly during training and which proceeds from will help both organizations. We were also generously donated several great products from the Kyjen Company, whose Outward Hound product line is a perfect fit for our working dogs in the wilderness!
Check back with Dogs for Conservation next month to see how Ranger and Bea's training is coming along! You can also join us on Facebook or on our Website to check for more regular updates!

New online advertising network launching later this year would like a new logo with a web 2.0 type design that conveys fun and simplicity.
We are an online advertising network with plans to launch later this year. We currently have a logo, but we're not in love with it. Take a look at http://www.adpickles.com/ . We'd like a new "launch ready" version if we can find something we like better than our current design.
- We'll need final versions of our logo with our tagline and without it, but for this contest, please include it. Our tagline is "Injection Advertising Network." Note that we have the word "The" in our current version at http://www.adpickles.com but we would like to remove it from the new version.
- The logo we currently have is a shade of green that works well with our site, but we are open to using other colors.
- We like the pickle we used in place of the "i" but we're not married to it.
- We'll need a final version with and without the word "BETA" but for this contest, please include it. Please see how it is currently used at the URL above.
- We'll need jpg and gif versions of any approved and final logo
- We'll also need final versions with both TM and (R) to the upper right.
- We spell our name "adPickles" - lowercase "a" and uppercase "P"

Now that enough elephants in D.C. have finally caved to the donkeys for the umpteenth time, everyone can enjoy a 90-day reprieve from the �how can we spend some more� caterwauling coming from D.C.
To the editor:
Now that enough elephants in D.C. have finally caved to the donkeys for the umpteenth time, everyone can enjoy a 90-day reprieve from the �how can we spend some more� caterwauling coming from D.C.
Here�s a hypothetical: We are all about to get $30,000 cash, but we must spend some or all of it on a brand new car.
A conservative spender would say, alright, I�ll go get a $15,000 car and keep the change. A liberal spender would buy a $30,000 car.
You know what a member of Congress would do with that $30,000? They would use it as a down payment and then borrow $30,000 more from China to get a Corvette.
My point is that conservatism can exist in either the Democrat or Republican Party, because the only issue is how much of, and on what, the money gets spent. It is extremely rare to find a conservative member of the Democratic Party and now the GOP has decided to exclude conservatives, too (Tea Party).
I don�t know anything about the Tea Party other than it came into existence in 2010 because a number of establishment Republicans decided that they had built such successful careers as kow-towing political sissies that they no longer needed to trifle with listening to their constituents.
Pay attention, Tea Party, whoever you are, and all potential GOP donors: Whoever gave up on repealing the inappropriately named �Affordable Care Act� � and I believe there were 87 of them � should not be re-elected or even re-nominated in next year�s midterms.
And may I remind the Democrats once again that loyalty to their party is one thing, but everyone votes with their wallets, and those wallets are going to be much lighter come January 2014.
If you are among the many people who have been unable to purchase health insurance (which is mandatory) because the government�s website is broken, the IRS will not be relieving you of your obligation to pay them over and above what it already takes out of your paycheck. The fine nobody is willing to tell anyone is whichever is more: $95 or 1 percent of household income, so it includes any form of money that comes into a residence.
Talk-show hosts only say the fine �starts at $95,� but they never mention the �or 1 percent of household income.�
So pay attention when you see how much of a chunk disappears from your income tax refund and recognize that the ACA is profoundly unfair. Then make sure you don�t re-elect the people who voted for it.
This law will negatively affect everyone, and we should not vote for anyone whose mission is anything short of repeal.

The CCI HD is a non contact 3D Optical Profiler with thin & thick film measurement capability. It uses an innovative, patented correlation algorithm to find the coherence peak and phase position of an interference pattern produced by our precision optical scanning unit. The new CCI HD merges world leading non-contact dimensional measurement capability with advanced thin and thick film technology
The CCI HD has been designed to offer both types of film thickness measurement in additions to dimensional and roughness capability. Thick film analysis has been used in recent years to study semi-transparent coatings down to about 1.5 microns; the limit is dependent on the refractive index of the materials and the NA of the objective. Thinner coatings have proved more of a challenge.
It is now possible to study thin film coatings down to 50 nm (also refractive index dependent) by interferometry. This new approach allows the study of properties such as film thickness, interface roughness, pinhole defects and delamination of thin coated surfaces, all from a single measurement.
2048 x 2048 pixel array for large FOV with high resolution
0.1 Angstrom resolution over the entire measurement range
0.3% - 100% Surface reflectivity can be accommodated
<0.2 Angstrom RMS repeatability, <0.1% step height repeatability
64-bit Control and analysis software in multi-language
Whatever the component, however quickly you must analyse it, confidence in your 3D areal measurement result is assured with the revolutionary CCI MP-HS non-contact optical profiler. A high speed 1 MP camera combines with 1/10 Ångstrom vertical resolution to deliver incredibly detailed analysis of all surface types from very rough to extremely smooth.
Greatly expand your analysis capabilities without increasing the complexity of your analysis programs. A broad range of components and surfaces can be measured without the complication of switching between measurement modes or the extra burden of intermediate lens calibration. Standardized methods, procedures and reporting ease the integration of CCI MP-HS into your quality management system.
1048 x 1048 pixel array for large FOV with high resolution
Advanced X, Y and Z stitching, extending the measurement range
<0.2 Angstrom RMS repeatability, <0.1% step height repeatability
Integrated anti vibration for optimum noise performance
