Which Way Is the Dancer Spinning?

By Steven D. Levitt

Courtesy of Marginal Revolution, take a look at this dancer. Is she spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise?

Just as an FYI.. I am a complete angel on the road

There is NO WAY this could be true. Nope. There are plenty of cities in Arizona, California any sunny area by the water that has fitter people.

Ok so I believe in working what you've got in part to get what you want but this is a giant step back in equality. Its perpetuating a stereotype of 'me woman, I need to be pretty, skinny, wear scandalous clothing, and I live to serve man'. BLEH

Recent research shows it could be the grumpy workers who are actually a company's most creative problem-solvers, said Jing Zhou, associate professor of management at the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management at Rice University.

Quoted: At a festival that features several films with sexual content, including full male nudity and a documentary about bestiality, a Southern Gothic tale that includes the rape of a young girl is causing the biggest stir.

It is, according to Dr Cliff Arnall, a psychologist with a taste for self-publicity. His formula, taking in six factors - weather, debt, time since Christmas, time until pay day, low motivation and failure to keep new year resolutions - has been wheeled out for the past few years to calculate the most depressing day of the year. And since today is that day, wipe that smile off your face and remove that spring from your step.

Quoted: The real meaning of success -- and how to find it.

It's time to define the new era. Our faith has been shaken. We've lost confidence in our leaders and in our institutions. Our beliefs have been tested. We've discredited the notion that the Internet would change everything (and the stock market would buy us an exit strategy from the grind). Our expectations have been dashed. We've abandoned the idea that work should be a 24-hour-a-day rush and that careers should be a wild adventure. Yet we're still holding on.

NEW YORK -- AT&T Inc.'s planned rebranding of Cingular Wireless cell phone service under the AT&T name -- not AT&T Wireless -- is slated to start next week with a multimedia ad campaign announcing what's expected to be a multi-month transition.

I used to have AT&T Wireless, then was forced to Cingular which absolutely sucked and now back to AT&T. Make up your mind people!
