“In the following tests, however, various combinations of novel and known pictures, which could be rewarded or unrewarded, were presented to the birds. . . . ‘More than half of our cockatoos choose their pictures in a way that clearly indicates the ability to infer by exclusion about rewarded stimuli. However alternative strategies also play an important role in guiding their choices,’ says Mark O'Hara who developed this task together with his colleagues.”

“We didn't experience a massive hurricane, but too many of this city's residents live in communities where our children's routes to school force them to cross perilous gang boundaries; where the walk to work entails passing blocks and blocks of boarded storefronts, glass littered streets and vacant homes; where massive school closures have disrupted our children's learning process; and where shootings abound.

“There have been suggestions that low levels of vitamin D might be a factor in cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease, but there's no proof that the lack of D is actually causing the problems. A study published Monday doesn't prove that link, but it does find that people with low levels of vitamin D lost key thinking skills more quickly than people with enough. The study is notable because of the diversity of the participants: 62 percent were women, 30 percent were African-American, 25 percent Hispanic and 41 percent white. Most earlier studies looking at cognitive decline and vitamin D were in white people.”

In light of this reality, McQueary's cruel and absurd longing for a hypothetical disaster completely ignores the fact that a very real disaster is happening right now, right here in Chicago, right under her nose — if only she made the effort and had the moral imagination to see it.”
