Please keep your flipping cats indoors.  In a report that scaled up local surveys and pilot studies to national dimensions, scientists from the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and the Fish and Wildlife Service estimated that domestic cats in the United States — both the pet Fluffies that spend part of the day outdoors and the unnamed strays and ferals that never leave it — kill a median of 2.4 billion birds and 12.3 billion mammals a year, most of them native mammals like shrews, chipmunks and voles rather than introduced pests like the Norway rat.

As always, please enjoy responsibly.
We need creative leaders in business. The lifespan of large companies will continue to shrink unless they learn to reinvent themselves. The lack of creativity is a problem — a 2010 IBM poll of 1,500 CEOs identified creativity as the number one leadership competency of the future – but what are we doing to address it? Unlike the Flynn effect, in which IQ rises with each successive generation, creativity scores among U.S. children have been falling since 1990.
