Why Men Report More Sex Partners than Women Robert Roy Britt LiveScience Managing Editor LiveScience.com Fri Feb 17, 11:00 AM ET Most surveys about sex find impossibly that men have had far more partners than women, typically two to four times as many. Either there are a bunch of phantom females out there, or somebody is lying. Or perhaps men just have lousy memories. Psychologist Norman R. Brown at the University of Michigan has done several studies on the apparent flaw in these surveys. The latest was a web-based survey of 2,065 heterosexual non-virgins with a median age in their late 40s. The women reported on average 8.6 lifetime sexual partners. The men claimed 31.9. Rather than let it go at that, Brown and his colleagues later in the survey asked the participants to rate the truthfulness of their response. About 5 percent said they lied. In addition, more than 10 percent said they knew their answer wasn't accurate. "They gave an answer and then two minutes later admitted they had lied about the answer," Brown said. But there's more to the discrepancy. Men and women use different methods to calculate their past dalliances. Women rely on a raw count, a method Brown says is known to result in underestimation. "They tend to say, 'I just know,' and if you ask them to explain how they know, they say, 'Well, there was John, Tom, etc.'" Men also rely on a flawed strategy. "Men are twice as likely to use rough approximation to answer the question," Brown said. "And rough approximation is a strategy known to produce over-estimation." Then again, maybe Brown's study is flawed, too. His next survey will be done by telephone, to find out if people lie and fudge as much in that medium, or if the Web-based surveys invite such behavior. The self-proclaimed liars "could be liars who lie about lying," he said.

Yes, I see it now.

And his right hand was restricted . You could never tell from his playing.

There is a record shop by my home. I normally don't hunt anymore for LP's, but I saw this one that perked my curiosity. And for 3.99 why not grab it. Anyone familiar with this session?

The dots in red are ones that have been convited of sexual abuse against children.

I guess everyone has the right to live somewhere. But it is scary when fond one close to your home.

Scary to think one may be living very close to your home or your children's school. http://www.familywatchdog.us/

Maybe this should move to the artists section.

Oh man, that sucks. I really enjoy his music. I've seen him at the Blue Note with Horace Silver in the 1990's. He sure knew how to get the audience to tap their feet. RIP Ray.

Okay how about New York City? Is that going to be June?

Great to hear that. I'll mark it on my calendar.

I was on a busniess trip when Organissimo was in NY last fall. Anything in the works to bring you back to NY in the near furture?

Hey man, Joe and I have two CDs worth of our compositions out there. What you got? Touche. You got me there.

CNN today. Greenland glaciers dumping ice into Atlantic at faster pace Thursday, February 16, 2006; Posted: 2:05 p.m. EST (19:05 GMT) Many bergs are calved each year from the Kangerdlussuaq glacier in east Greenland.

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) -- Greenland's southern glaciers have accelerated their march to the Atlantic Ocean over the past decade and now contribute more to the global rise in sea levels than previously estimated, researchers say. Those faster-moving glaciers, along with increased melting, could account for nearly 17 percent of the estimated one-tenth of an inch annual rise in global sea levels, or twice what was previously believed, said Eric Rignot of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. An increase in surface air temperatures appears to be causing the glaciers to flow faster, albeit at the still-glacial pace of eight miles to nine miles a year at their fastest clip, and dump increased volumes of ice into the Atlantic. That stepped-up flow accounted for about two-thirds of the net 54 cubic miles of ice Greenland lost in 2005. That compares with 22 cubic miles in 1996, Rignot said. Rignot and his study co-author, Pannir Kanagaratnam of the University of Kansas, said their report is the first to include measurements of recent changes in glacier velocity in the estimates of how much ice most of Greenland is losing. "The behavior of the glaciers that dump ice into the sea is the most important aspect of understanding how an ice sheet will evolve in a changing climate," Rignot said. "It takes a long time to build and melt an ice sheet, but glaciers can react quickly to temperature changes." Details of the study were being presented Thursday at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The study appears Friday in the journal Science. The researchers believe warmer temperatures boost the amount of melt water that reaches where the glaciers flow over rock. That extra water lubricates the rivers of ice and eases their downhill movement toward the Atlantic. They tracked the speeds of the glaciers from space, using satellite data collected between 1996 and 2005. If warmer temperatures spread to northern Greenland, the glaciers there too should pick up their pace, Rignot and Kanagaratnam wrote. The only way to stem the loss of ice would be for Greenland to receive increased amounts of snowfall, according to Julian Dowdeswell of the University of Cambridge, who wrote an accompanying article.

The video is in two parts, the first part is with the Sonny Rollins trio (no piano) recorded in Europe in the early sixties(?), the other is Dexter playing at various menues in Europe in the sixties, mostly from Montmartre, Copenhagen.

I guess no one is up for the challenge. What's the word.?.. wussy.

I'll have to check.

The woman I work with, her husband sells home heating oil. She said they are going to charge more, not because of demand, because they aren't delivering as much, and they need to make money to pay the workers. Screwed either way you look at it.

Would anyone have this? Another member here had it but the taped snapped. It's no longer in print.

Probably listened to someone and said, "You think I can $80 for a T shirt? Let's do it."

wrong: all serious scientist will tell you that things are changing and that humans are the cause. All scientists that tell you otherwise have too much corporate money in there pockets. It's leaded gasoline and CFCs all over again. I agree 100% with this. Put money in someone's pocket and they will tell you what you want to hear.

I believe the glaciers are receding the length of 3 football fields a year. Didn't recently an iceberg the size of Rhode Island just melt?
