America's top dog continues its 22-year reign

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Labrador retriever held its 22-year reign as America's top dog, but a determined bulldog is gaining ground in the popularity stakes.

The American Kennel Club's annual ranking of most popular dog breeds on Wednesday showed Labradors in the lead, with other large dogs moving up and once-popular smaller breeds such as the Yorkshire terrier and the miniature poodle losing some ground.

"Bigger breeds are making their move," said AKC spokeswoman Lisa Peterson. "The bulldog has muscled his way into the top five," she said, displacing the popular Yorkie, which dropped to sixth.

The No. 2 in popularity was the German shepherd, followed by the golden retriever and the beagle, which swapped the third and fourth spots from last year's rankings, "adding insult to injury for smaller breeds," Peterson joked.

With more than two continuous decades as the United States' most popular breed, the Labrador tied the feat of the poodle, which was tops for 22 straight years in the 1980s and 1990s, AKC said. Poodles took the eighth spot this year.

"Labradors come in different temperaments, just like we do," said Micki Beerman, an owner and fan of the breed.

"I have five, and she never leaves my side," she said of Sheena, a 5-year-old chocolate Labrador who sat next to the Brooklyn resident.

"They're just everyday, intelligent, loving animals," Beerman said.

The AKC also released some regional preferences that indicated bulldogs were becoming a favorite in New York City, taking the No. 2 spot while the French bulldog was third.

"They're a wonderful family pet," enthused Deirdre Nardelli about the bulldog.

Labradors became most popular in New York, while Yorkies plummeted from first to fifth place in the city in just one year.

The AKC revealed its rankings in advance of next month's Westminster Kennel Club dog show, the nation's most prestigious dog competition that culminates with the "best in show" award at Madison Square Garden.

Two new breeds, the Russell terrier and the treeing Walker coonhound, will compete this year.

Althouse: "At-Home Dads Make Parenting More of a 'Guy' Thing."

From the Wall Street Journal:
At-home dads... take pride in letting their children take more risks on the playground, compared with their spouses. They tend to jettison daily routines in favor of spontaneous adventures with the kids. And many use technology or DIY skills to squeeze household budgets, or find shortcuts through projects and chores, says the study, based on interviews, observation of father-child outings and an analysis of thousands of pages of at-home dads' blogs and online commentary.

"Just as we saw a feminization of the workplace in the past few decades, with more emphasis on such skills as empathy and listening, we are seeing the opposite at home?a masculinization of domestic tasks and routines," says Gokcen Coskuner-Balli, an assistant professor of marketing at Chapman University in Orange, Calif., and lead author of the study. "Many men are building this alternative model of home life that is outdoorsy, playful and more technology-oriented."

Good Reads: Mexico City cleans up, avoiding 'truth,' and a rare visit to North Korea

This week's good reads include Mexico City's bike-sharing and walkways, the gap between information and understanding, outsourcing personal chores, and a young American's insights on the 'hermit kingdom.'

By Whitney Eulich,?Staff writer / January 30, 2013

New metrobus lines in Mexico City have helped to ease traffic congestion.

Bernardo Montoya/Reuters/File

Enlarge

Mexico City has long had a dark cloud hovering over it ? both literally and figuratively ? when it comes to traffic woes and vehicle emissions. As recently as 2011, residents of Mexico?s vibrant capital city reported ?enduring the most painful commute,? according to a report in National Geographic. ?Based on factors such as roadway traffic, stress levels, and commute times, the city scored worse than 19 cities, including Beijing, China, and Nairobi, Kenya.?

So it might come as a surprise that this megacity, home to 20 million people and more than 4 million vehicles, was recently selected to receive the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy?s Sustainable Transport Award.

National Geographic describes Mexico City?s progress, noting that over the past two years the city has taken great strides to become more pedestrian-friendly with car-free walkways and plazas, new bus lines, a bike-sharing program, and a system of parking meters.

Sure, traffic still exists and air quality isn?t perfect, but anyone who has been to the bustling metropolis knows the hurdles the city has had to confront and what great progress must have been made to entitle it to an award of this sort.

Avoiding the truth

?In the three or four decades after 1490, the human experience on planet Earth arguably changed more than it had since the Year One,? writes Todd S. Purdum in Vanity Fair. And the life-altering changes that took place ? from international exploration connecting the Eastern and Western Hemispheres for the first time to the creation of movable type ? may have been the most revolutionary years civilization has seen. Until now.

?[W]e know almost everything? today, Mr. Purdum notes. That?s thanks in part to a second round of radical change that started a few short decades ago and continues in full force. Changes such as the ?ricochets? of money and people around the world, and the simplification of information sharing via the Internet. But our newfound knowledge and interconnectivity doesn?t necessarily mean we understand our environment or ?The Truths? that confront us.

Unlike our forefathers ? who may not have had enough information to understand that the ?sweating sickness? (malaria) that suddenly plagued coastal England was linked to the slave trade, or who couldn?t foresee that the printing press might also launch freethinking and religious wars ? we aren?t in the dark. We have overwhelming amounts of information that wash over us daily that we can?t seem to process.

Consider the lasting debate over global warming, despite the volumes of real-time proof.

?Fixed cameras can capture the melting of glaciers through time-lapse photography, but they can?t quell the doubts of climate-change deniers,? Purdum offers as one example.

The chore of no more chores

Have you ever dreamed of coming home from work and having that pile of dirty laundry miraculously washed and folded? Or of having that book that?s been taunting you from your bedside table read in time for your next book club meeting? You, dear reader, are not alone.

?Oh, to be rich and powerful,? Patricia Marx writes in the opening of her New Yorker article ?Outsource yourself: The online way to delegate your chores.? Ms. Marx takes her readers through a humorous journey of ?test driving? the world of online services. There, ?Task Rabbits? (errand runners) and ?virtual personal assistants? can be hired to do everything from writing a brief history of outsourcing in the US for an article (hers) or even to read Proust and come up with insightful musings to impress book club friends (hers again).

There are numerous websites and Internet communities dedicated to outsourced work. But, as you might imagine, Marx?s adventures reveal that after spending time soliciting errand runners for simple tasks and then sifting through bids on these chores, it might just be quicker to do them yourself.

Turn up the heat, North Korea

Sophie Schmidt, daughter of Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt, tagged along in January when her father took part in a nine-person US delegation to North Korea, organized by former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. Ms. Schmidt, a grad school student, made a number of enlightening observations about the ?hermit kingdom? on her blog, Sophie in North Korea.

In a post titled ?It might not get weirder than this,? Schmidt writes, ?Our trip was a mixture of highly staged encounters, tightly-orchestrated viewings and what seemed like genuine human moments.? She notes under ?Top Level Take-aways? that ?Nothing I?d read or heard beforehand really prepared me for what we saw.? It was also extremely cold and none of the sites they toured ? schools, malls, and government buildings ? were heated, despite frigid temperatures.?

?It is quite extraordinary to have the Honored Guest Experience in such conditions: they?re proudly showing you their latest technology or best library, and you can see your breath. A clue to how much is really in their control.?

Actor Jason London arrested after Ariz. bar fight

PHOENIX (AP) ? Authorities say actor Jason London has been arrested on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct after an Arizona bar fight.

Scottsdale police say London allegedly sneezed on a man who then asked him to apologize, but London refused and instead hit the man in the face.

The Arizona Republic (http://bit.ly/VoULau ) says the two men were escorted out of the bar, but London began pushing and cursing at firefighters trying to treat him and appeared extremely drunk. He was arrested early Monday.

London's Twitter account says "some guy thought I was hitting on his girl" and that several large bouncers beat him, breaking bones in his face. London added, "the truth will win" and "I hate Arizona."

London is best known for the 1993 movie "Dazed and Confused."

More adults need vaccines, and not just for flu: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

ATLANTA (Reuters) - The flu isn't the only illness adults should be immunized against, U.S. health officials said on Tuesday, as a new study found current adult vaccination rates in the country "unacceptably low."

The report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) concluded that a "substantial increase" in adult vaccinations is needed to prevent diseases including pneumonia, tetanus, diphtheria, hepatitis, shingles and whooping cough.

"Far too few adults are getting vaccinated against these important diseases, and we need to do more," said Dr. Howard Koh, an assistant secretary for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

In 2011, there were 37,000 cases of invasive pneumonia in the United States, and most of the 4,000 people who died from the illness were over the age of 50, Koh said.

The CDC, a federal agency, recommends that older patients at risk for pneumonia receive vaccinations for the disease, he said.

Adults who don't get vaccinated can put others, including children, at risk, Koh said. In 2012, 9,300 adults were diagnosed with whooping cough out of a total of 42,000 cases.

"When the source is identified, four out of five babies who got whooping cough caught it from someone in the home, a parent, sister, brother, grandparent or babysitter," he said. "These are just examples of why adult vaccines are critical to the public health of our country."

Some vaccines, such as flu shots, are recommended for all adults, the CDC said. Others are suggested based on a patient's age and overall health.

"We are encouraging all adults to talk with their health care providers about which vaccines are appropriate for them," Koh said.

Try Your Hand at Hands-on Math

On Sunday, I wrote about my public statistics session at ScienceOnline. Today, I?ll tell you a little about my other session, Hands-on Math, co-moderated by Matthew Francis. If you come to our session, you might get to take home a mathematical surface of your very own.

Meet Ellie. She may look like an oddly shaped pillow, but she is much, much more.

Ellie, a surface of genus 2. More pillows should have genus.

In the first place, Ellie is a surface with genus 2. She has two holes, which you can see a little better in this picture.

A top-down view of Ellie, demonstrating the fact that she does indeed have genus 2.

Surfaces show up all over the place in mathematics, and Ellie is a very interesting surface with a lot of properties to explore. For example, she is a translation surface. These surfaces are formed by taking a polygon in the Euclidean plane, in this case an L-shaped piece of fabric, and gluing (or sewing) parallel sides of the same length together.

An L-shaped piece of fabric labeled with identifications to make it into a translation surface. Edges with the same symbol will be sewn together.

I?ll let Diana Davis?s ?Dance Your Ph.D.? video explain it another way.

Cutting Sequences on the Double Pentagon, explained through dance from Diana Davis on Vimeo.

In the first scene, whenever the dancer crosses one of the edges of the double pentagon, she re-emerges in another part of the screen because we are to imagine that the figure is glued up, with sides of the same colors identified.

Translation surfaces are just fun to play with on their own, but they also arise naturally when we study billiards on polygons. For example, in an L-shaped billiard table, what kinds of trajectories can the cue ball take? Believe it or not, we can study surfaces like Ellie to find out. By the way, this is not an entirely academic exercise: mathematician Moon Duchin actually came across one of these L-shaped tables on a trip to South Africa.

An L-shaped billiard table. Image: Moon Duchin.

A plain old single-holed torus is another example of a translation surface. The polygon in that case is a square or rectangle.

A diagram indicating the way to glue sides of a rectangle together to form a torus.

An animation showing the gluing process.

We can see that no matter where we stand on the torus, the ground is very smooth around us. That?s because if we look at what happens to the corners of the square, they are all identified together, but there is exactly 360??of angle around them. With the L-shaped table, this is a little different. Once again, all of the corners are identified to the same point, but now we have way more than 360? around that point.

When the identifications are made, the blue vertices are all the same point. The green arcs around the blue points help us count the amount of angle around this point. Here we can see that we have three circles' worth, 1080?.

That funny point, which is hard to photograph, is often called a cone point. I made Ellie because I wanted to have a touchable model of a surface that is kind of like the surfaces I study, which have these funny cone points. She is not exactly the same as my surfaces because her skin is modeled on the boring Euclidean plane rather than the sexier hyperbolic plane that I work with. But I don?t have any vast sheets of fabric made from hyperbolic crochet, and the hyperbolic surfaces wouldn?t fit into 3-dimensional space properly anyway, so Ellie is the closest thing I have.

Which brings us back to the purpose of this post: to invite you to the fun world of math you can make and touch at our hands-on math session. We?ll be talking about some of the subjects I?ve brought up here: topology, geometry, and dynamical systems, and we?ll be making surfaces from fabric and paper. Matthew is a physicist, and he?ll introduce some of the ways these mathematical concepts come up in physics.

If you think you might come to the session, we would really appreciate it if you could let us know on the wiki. I know these decisions are often made at the last minute, and that?s totally fine. But a general idea of the number interested will help us with bringing the right amount of fabric. If you can?t come, you can follow us on Twitter by using the hashtag #HandsOnMath.

Starbucks says no plan to freeze UK investment

LONDON (Reuters) - The world's biggest coffee chain Starbucks Corp denied it had threatened to suspend investment in Britain in protest over perceived government criticism of its tax affairs.

"Starbucks remains fully committed to opening 300 new stores and creating 5,000 new jobs by 2016," the company said in a statement on Sunday.

"We do not discuss the details of our Government meetings, but can say that we do not recognize how it has been reported."

The Sunday Telegraph said the Seattle-based coffee chain had demanded talks with British officials last week after Prime Minister David Cameron warned tax-avoiding firms to "wake up and smell the coffee" - seen as a reference to Starbucks.

Starbucks threatened to put on hold plans announced last year to invest 100 million pounds ($158.06 million) in new British branches, the paper said, citing unnamed sources close to the company.

Last year, Starbucks was caught up in a consumer backlash against legal techniques used by companies to cut their tax bills after Reuters revealed it had booked no profit and paid no tax in Britain for three years, despite telling investors its British arm was profitable.

The company has since bowed to public pressure and is expected to pay about 20 million pounds in British corporation tax over the next two years.

($1 = 0.6327 British pounds)

Leah's engaged and pregnant on 'Teen Mom 2'

By Drusilla Moorhouse, TODAY contributor

MTV

Jeremy and Leah are expecting a new baby!

We begin Monday's "Teen Mom 2" recap with another real-time rundown in soap opera starring Jenelle Evans: Since announcing her pregnancy last week, the reality trainwreck filed assault charges against her husband, reunited with her bad-boy ex (does Jenelle have any good-guy boyfriends?) Gary Head and reportedly miscarried. Surely her evil (angelic?) twin will arrive any moment?

Enough with the spoilers! On the latest episode of "Teen Mom 2" ...

The Cabin in the Woods: Leah is whisked away by her boyfriend, Jeremy, to a deluxe vacation cabin that even has a hot tub on the back deck! While Jeremy declares, "I'll definitely be soaking my butt in that," Leah retires alone to bed. (What?! Keep reading.)

The next morning, Jeremy treats the young mama to her very first breakfast in bed and her second bouquet of flowers -- with an attached card reading, "Will you marry me?" Aw. Romantic, yes, but can anything top her first husband's proposal? Corey took Leah fishing and had her reel in her engagement ring. Classy!

Time to talk kids! Leah, practically middle-aged at 20, doesn't want to "wait 10 years" (or until she's grown out of her retainer) before having another baby. In related news, Leah admits to her appalled friend Kayla that she removed her IUD and seems to be experiencing morning sickness. With MTV filming everything but her bathroom breaks, Leah takes an in-home pregnancy test and shares the happy news with her twin toddlers: a baby sibling is on the way. (Spoiler alert: Heartbreak results, followed by more joyful tidings.)

Who's Your Daddy? Jenelle enjoys another TV-friendly outing with her son, Jace, taking him to a children's museum. There her girlfriends entertain the tiny tot by re-enacting Jenelle's latest roommate clash with puppets: "Hi, I'm Amber, and I'm a b----!" (Because Jace isn't treated to enough screaming profanity at home.)

Jenelle is surprised by a 12-step "amends"-style call from Andrew, her absentee baby daddy. Or is he? Turns out she hooked up with BFF Tori's boyfriend after a "physical argument" with Andrew a month before she got pregnant. (Headdesk.)?"I felt really slutty afterwards," she admits about hiding the secret. When Jenelle proposes a paternity test, Andrew jumps at the chance. He's years behind in child support (although not as much as he thought, considering he thought his 2-year-old was 3), and he "literally, 100 percent" doesn't think he's Jace's dad. ?

Barbershop: Forget Snip-its for Kids: For their son's very first haircut, Kailyn and Jo take Isaac to a bare bones men's barbershop. Kailyn nervously hovers over her son, apparently terrified he's going to sob like Anne Hathaway in "Les Miz" (he doesn't), and is annoyed that Jo is indifferently texting. (Or is he live-tweeting the important event, ? la Jenelle and her supposed miscarriage?)

Thank goodness for Javi, Kailyn's very own Jeremy -- devoted, romantic and eager to capture the attention of the MTV film crew. "You're going to be my best friend," vows Kail's future teen husband, not at all stalkery. At least he isn't begging her to have another baby?

Weird Science: Chelsea sobs in her cheetah sheets because she's not celebrating baby daddy Adam's birthday with him. Rinse and repeat. Somehow she manages to pull herself together and take her math and science GED tests. "Pass or fail, it's a milestone," her proud papa says on her cell phone, which she's holding to her ear while driving in the ice and snow.

Los Angeles's First Real Estate Whales: 4 Rancho-Era Bigshots ...

Southern California's first private landowners were the early settlers granted tracts (ranchos) by the Spanish crown and Mexican government. (The crown didn't recognize land ownership, so the first truly "private" ranchos were those registered with the Mexican government after 1821.) Many of these grants were wiped out when California became a state; people couldn't provide the documentation to prove they owned the land, and others lost their family fortunes when the new American laws and regulations bankrupted them, opening the door for a new generation of whales. Here are four of LA's earliest real estate players:

Maria Rita Valdez and a relative, the local schoolmaster, petitioned the Mexican government for the official title to her land in present day Beverly Hills, in 1821. (The rancho was named Rodeo de las Aguas.) But when the schoolmaster got fresh with her, he was ordered off the land; Maria paid him "$17.50 for his share of the land; he threw in a peach tree and some farm equipment," according to Michael Gross's Unreal Estate.

Valdez sold her land to Henry Hancock in 1852, who only owned it for a brief period. He wasn't out of the game for long, though, and later bought Rancho La Brea further east. George Allen Hancock inherited Rancho La Brea from his father and, among other things, developed Hancock Park. He built himself a mansion at the corner of Vermont and Wilshire Boulevard. Before it was demolished, four of its rooms were carefully disassembled and rebuilt on the USC campus, where Hancock was a bigtime donor.

Benjamin Davis Wilson didn't let a few bear attacks deter him from making it to California from his native Tennessee, and when he got here he started buying up the place. Writes Gross: "known as Don Benito, having married into a Spanish family, [he] bought half of the 4,438 acre Rancho San Jose de Buenos Ayres [now Bel Air, Holmby Hills and Westwood] for $662.75" in 1852. Six years later the other half cost him $16,000.

Don Bernardo Yorba's "barronial" rancho in present-day Yorba Linda was the site of one of the largest homes in pre-statehood California. By Carey McWilliams's reckoning, Don Bernardo's 51-room house employed "two tanners, one soapmaker, one butter-and-cheese man, a harnessmaker, two shoemakers, one jeweler ... two errand boys, one head sheepherder, one cook, one baker, two washwomen, a woman to iron, four seamstresses, one dressmaker, two gardeners, a schoolmaster and a number of miscellaneous servants."
