Links to Your World, Tuesday February 14

From Victoria's Secret Model to Proverbs 31 Wife


I love reading stories like this--and in the NYT, no less. Asian-American Christians are taking justifiable pride in Jeremy Lin's noteriety.  



Did you read about the 3-year-old who climbed inside a coin-operated claw game at a family restaurant and proceeded to hand out the game’s candies and toys? He probably decided to engage in a little distributive justice...

 

The physiology behind tear-jerkers like Adele's "Someone Like You."

 

NASA scientists announced today they had received a radio transmission confirming the existence of intelligent, extremely condescending life in a galaxy nearly 13.8 billion light-years away. (The Onion)

 

"Only 54.3% of young adults aged 18 to 24 have a job. It’s the lowest rate since the government started keeping records in 1948." Yikes.

 

Promises for those struggling with unemployment.

 

"The brain is "neuroplastic" from cradle to grave. Neuroplasticity is the property of the brain that allows it to change its structure and function through mental experience....The question thus inevitably arises: What ambitious kinds of learning might we, as adults, undertake?" Norman Doidge reviews "Guitar Zero," a book that asks the question, is 39 years of age too late to learn guitar?
