Miguel, based on previous posts about hookers and other delights, I think he just may have meant it exactly that way ;) Annette

Mike, surely you are not suggesting that we 'hook up' in the modern sense, right? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hook%20up. ;-) Miguel PS: Feliz año nuevo ________________________________ From: "Michael Palij" <[email protected]> To: "Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS)" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 1, 2012 8:35:48 AM Subject: [tips] Happy Freakin' New Year! Well, someone has got to wish the group a Happy New Year! One gets the impression that everyone on TiPS secretly got together and chartered a place in Costa Rica or similar topical paradise and left their computer/ipad/tablet/smartphone/etc. at home, given the number of posts to TiPS in the last week. Anyway, I just wanted to remind everyone that 2012 appears to be the 20th anniversary of Tips and, that folks who are so inclined, should attempt to celebrate the anniversary. Perhaps with hook-ups at meetings/conferences/conventions/etc or the "First Annual Tips Pool Party and Barbecue" (which could also be held at a meeting/conference/yadda-yadda). Maybe we need a catchphrase to aid in the commemoration? I suggest the following: "I only take TiPS!" NOTE: this is the punch line to an old Jewish joke. As folks think this over (or get through their hangovers -- anyone got a face tattoo last night?), here's some serious stuff to consider: At you next poker game, invite some great apes over to see how valid the research reported in the following is. First, a mass media account: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/8983988/Apes-gamble-like-humans-by-calculating-odds.html Well, perhaps it's time to see how good chimps and gorillas are at Texas Hold 'em. For those more interested in the original source, that mass media article does not cite it but I think I've located the primary source: http://pubman.mpdl.mpg.de/pubman/item/escidoc:927625:7/component/escidoc:1281560/Haun_et_al_Great_Apes_Risk_Taking_Strategies_2011_PLoS_One.pdf Daniel Haun seems to be responsible for this research and his webpage can be accessed here: http://www.mpi.nl/people/haun-daniel/publications And to make sure that we keep focusing on every higher goals (or just plain sights), check out the astronomical events that will occur in 2012 that you can look forward to; see: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45828528/ns/technology_and_science-space/#.TwBZzlZROi0 Last and probably least: for those of you with pets, well, here's your pets' horoscope: for January 2012: http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/horoscopes/monthly-pet-horoscope-january-2012-article-1.998979 NOTE: in another article on the horoscope page, Katy Perry is available again. Plan appropriately. ;-) -MIke Palij New York University [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
