Boys Need Not Be Boys

Most of “Woman,” neither a guide to women’s health nor another tiresome tour through male/female differences, is a treasure chest of did-you-knows: that the X chromosome contains some 5,000 genes, while the male Y chromosome holds but a couple dozen? That lactobacilli, also found in yogurt, disinfect the vagina by making it more acidic than coffee? That the uterus makes “chemical cousins to morphine and heroin”? The tone can grate–especially Angier’s view that “the female body deserves Dionysian respect....

Boyz N The Quad

Malik (Omar Epps), a runner on a partial athletic scholarship, is a struggling student who feels his worth is measured only by his track performance; Kristen (Kristy Swanson), an Orange County blonde who’s date-raped by a frat boy, is awash in sexual ambiguity; and Remy (Michael Rapaport), an isolated Idaho rube, is desperate to fit in anywhere. Each of them is lost and looking for role models. Malik, a chronic complainer, gets little overt sympathy from his West Indian political-science professor (Laurence Fishburne), a stern sage who rejects Malik’s ethos of victimization....

Branded Entertainment It S What Millennials Enjoy

Millennials don’t want ideas and ads shoved down their throats with a one-size fits all approach, either. Instead, content that fits in with what they are already watching, without actually seeming like advertising, is more effective. That’s where branded entertainment comes in.

Bray Skeptical About A Few Of Mlb S Proposed Pace Of Game Changes

But I’m skeptical of several of the proposed changes. The proposed change: A batter must keep one foot in the box, except in certain situations. Penalty will be a called strike. My thought: Not a bad idea. Just like pitchers that take too long on the mound, there are some batters that have lengthy between-pitch routines. Should help speed things up. MORE: Tigers-Orioles photo gallery | A’s-Royals photo gallery | MLB Twitter must-follow list...

Breathing Life Into A Number

In “The Golden Ratio: The Story of Phi, the World’s Most Astonishing Number,” Livio traces the discovery of phi back to ancient Greeks who noticed that when a line is divided into two unequal sections, the ratio of the longer part to the shorter is in the “golden proportion” if it equals the ratio of the whole line to the longer section. First dubbed the “divine proportion” by a 15th-century friar who argued that it was the most esthetically pleasing ratio, by the 20th century the number–now called phi–had developed a cult following among scientists and amateurs for its reported appearance in nature and art....
