thefluffingtonpost: City Council Mandates Puppies Every 15 Feet at Public Park A new city ordinance, passed via a 5-4 vote at last night’s city council meeting, mandates that all public parks will have puppies every 15 feet.  ”We really feel that this is going to makes our outdoor spaces more vibrant and enjoyable for visitors,” said city comptroller Louis Becker, who introduced the measure. Not everyone is convinced, though.  City councilwoman Alexandra Schiff voted against the puppy ordinance.  ”I really don’t think this is a wise use of our city’s cash reserves,” said Schiff.  ”I like puppies as much as the next person, but we have fire hydrants that need servicing, roads that need repair, a centennial celebration to plan… but we’re spending our money on dogs?  I just don’t get it.” Proponents of the measure point out that Schiff might be sore that her “Cats on Main Street” measure, which sought to install hanging baskets containing kittens all along main street, failed at a council meeting last month.

They want you to find a nice guy you can settle down with, marry, start a family. Your new boyfriend Jeff — sure, he has his own place and he may make good money as a bartender. But, he has tattoos.

This was fun.  And I actually got credit for taking the pictures! gentlemanstimes: “This is nothing,” someone in the crowd said. “At the viewing party last week, the one where Matt and Karen [the current Doctor and his companion] were actually there, they lined up overnight.” Live Review: Doctor Who premiere party

Not surprisingly, those who had eight hours of sleep hardly had any attention lapses and no cognitive declines over the 14 days of the study. What was interesting was that those in the four- and six-hour groups had P.V.T. results that declined steadily with almost each passing day. Though the four-hour subjects performed far worse, the six-hour group also consistently fell off-task. By the sixth day, 25 percent of the six-hour group was falling asleep at the computer. And at the end of the study, they were lapsing fives times as much as they did the first day.
