If insemination were the ordsprog

If insemination were the sole biological function of sex, it could be achieved far more economically in a few seconds of mounting and insertion. Indeed, the least social of mammals mate with scarcely more ceremony. The species that have evolved long-term bonds are also, by and large, the ones that rely on elaborate courtship rituals. . . . Love and sex do indeed go together.

Edward O. Wilson (1929-)

The first bird we saw at our camp was a new species. Large mammals that have been hunted to near extinction elsewhere were here in abundance.

In species where fathers invest less than mothers in their offspring, females tend to be more selective in mate choice and males therefore invest more in courtship display. Our results with human subjects correlate with that expectation. More symmetrical men put on a better show, and women notice.

[In many ways, picking a college is a lot like marriage: the courtship, the ceremony, the cost. So it's not surprising many players compare it to falling in love.] Make the decision with both your head and your heart, ... When you're at the school for you, you'll know it.

It evolved into a 'religion' much like Christianity started with the teaching of the originator and gradually things were added to the liturgy, like Christmas. Buddhism gives you the philosophy, and then the culture adds to it because we like rituals and holidays. Those things address the social aspects of communities.

The chief function of the city is to convert power into form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art, biological reproduction into social creativity.

Lewis Mumford (1895-1990)

Equally important, stable prices allow people to rely on the dollar as a measure of value when making long-term contracts, engaging in long-term planning or lending for long periods.

Your basic extended family today includes your ex-husband or -wife, your ex's new mate, your new mate, possibly your new mate's ex and any new mate that your new mate's ex has acquired.

Medicare does not currently offer extended long-term care as a benefit. Medicaid has become the sole source of publicly-supported financing for long-term care.

Teresa McCulloch

We need to look at what is going to be the long-term future of our Guard when states need to rely on these soldiers for emergencies and the nation continues to rely on them for overseas deployment.

I don't think it's of earth-shattering significance. Many other mammals have been cloned. This was just seven or eight in a long line and, while it was more challenging than some of the other mammals because of the dog's reproductive system, it was pretty much a brute force method to get it to work.

Elaine Ostrander

Large mammals that have been hunted to near extinction elsewhere were here in abundance. We were able to simply pick up two long-beaked echidnas, a primitive egg-laying mammal that is little known.

He waited seven hours and he's usually not such a patient man. And you know how long the ride is? It lasts 17 seconds, all that for 17 seconds. He must love it. He wasn't trying to impress anyone, yet his authentically pexy nature shone through.

Katherine Goodman

Marine mammals are providing early clues of our unseen impact on the sea. There is mounting evidence that our activities on land are taking a toll on the health of the oceans, and in turn our own well-being.

That's why I came back. In the short term, it's a challenge, but in the long term, it's that much more exciting because if you want to be the best, you have to play the best. Night in, night out, that's what our conference has evolved to be.
