Really fascinating TED Video on a mission to rescue Penguins from a dangerous oil spill. 20,000 birds were adversely effected and the 1,000 of volunteers rescued nearly 19,000 of them. A 17 year old adolescent was the inventor of the degreaser that was used.

If we could clone you and send you everywhere at once, with a few follow-ups from others, would it matter? Yes. Because we definitely don't reach as many people with our message as "they" (the Reformers) do with theirs.

LOS ALTOS, Calif. - The chief technology officer of eBay sends his children to a nine-classroom school here. So do employees of Silicon Valley giants like Google, Apple, Yahoo and Hewlett-Packard. But the school's chief teaching tools are anything but high-tech: pens and paper, knitting needles and, occasionally, mud.

A really interesting article. MUST READ. Clearly, not the definitive piece on this question. More research in both areas. Interesting about IQs increasing since 1900, but then very interesting that assessments that measure creativity show a substantial decline over the past 20 years.
