As far as ESB's go, I prefer Fuller's over Red Hook. I did get to try a nice beer at the Bonnaroo Music festival last week. It's a Vermont brew called Magic Hat. My daughter, who goes to school in Vermont, had been telling me about it, but it's not distributed here in Missouri. So I grabbed the chance at the beer table at the festival. Very, very, nice and refreshing. |

Plan 9 From Outer Space Hands down. This has everything: cheesy effects, aliens, vampires, Bela Lugosi, incredibly bad dialogue ("The sheriff's been murdered! Well, one thing's for sure--someone's responsible!"). And it was directed by Ed Wood. My favorite scene is when a character walks down his driveway to get in his car. Unfortunately, the driver's side was against a backdrop, so the actor had to get in his car from the passenger side. |

My youngest daughter goes to Warren Wilson College, near Asheville NC. I drove her back to NC after Christmas break, just in time for us to catch Richard Thompson and his 1000 Years of Popular Music show at the Orange Peel (great venue). The show is a treat. In fact, any Richard Thompson show (acoustic solo or with his electric band) is worth seeing. |

Warren Wilson is an excellent fit for her. Unlike her older sister, who is intense and driven (and found Bennington College a wonderful fit for her personality), Claire is laid back but accomplished. The school emphasizes academics, work (every student must have an on-campus job--that keeps the tuition 'reasonable'), and service (every student must complete a community service requirement before graduating). It tends to attract very liberal students interested in things like conservation, self-sufficiency (the school maintains a farm and raises much of its own meat and vegetables, and many students work it), international aid and activism of various kinds. So it isn't for everybody. The Sierra Club rated it number 3 in their list of "10 Coolest Colleges", but WWC also ranked number 2 in 'Reefer Madness" in the Princeton Review, LOL. The campus is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and is just beautiful. Claire's starting her second year there, and loves it. KC |

That last video was a recording of a simple middle school stepline routine. Steplines are a popular activity among African American students (especially in college), and in no way militant or creepy. And what were these kids talking about? Being inspired to become doctors and lawyers and stuff.

A couple of things. First of all, the fruit flies in question are not in the genus Drosophila, but in the genus Bactrocera. Nevertheless, they are a serious pest, threatening the growing olive industry in California. Secondly, I find it weird that a Republican candidate should proclaim research on pests threatening business as not being in the public good. |

I looked up Prager and Wilson's paper. They are tallking about the development of complete hybrid inviability. P&W found that certain groups of organisms, birds and amphibians in particular, lose hybrid viability very slowly. 20-30 million years (which suprised me). However, other groups, such as mammals lose it much more quickly (by around a factor of ten): 2 - 3 million years |

Actually, whether or not these populations are actual species yet in the strict sense of the term is irrelevant. The fact remains they are morphologically and ecologically distinct, and reproductively isolated, which can only lead to further divergence. In other words, they are species in all but complete post-zygotic isolation. |

| bornagain77 seems to think that the fact the genomes of ancient bacteria recovered from older salt deposits are remarkably similar to modern bacteria is some kind of problem for evolution. He forgets that if we can revive old bacteria from salt deposits, then erosion of older rocks could do the same thing, continually, for millions of years, releasing billions and billions of these bacteria on the surface. He also forgets how much salt we mine and throw on roads every winter alone. |

Jerry is simply obsessing on the idea that many of the populations in the Galapagos hybridize, albeit rarely. Therefore they have to be of the same species. An interesting fact (which jerry also seems dazzled by) is, birds as a group tend to develop genetic incompatibility (hybrid sterility) as a form of reproductive isolation much more slowly than with other groups, like mammals, by a factor of about 10. It's not clear why that is so-- the reason may be develpomental. So avian species possess a large capoacity for hybridization between species. Why this is of such interest to jerry is beyond my simple mind. What is obvious in birds is, they do maintain enough reproductive isolation (geographic, ecological, etc)to develp not only an astonishing diversity, but enough to keep those diverse populations relatively stable enough for us to recognize and think of them as separate species without having to resort to artificial selection to keep them that way. This means the actual level of hybridization is not high enough to disrupt the diversification. The fact they make take longer to develop hybrid sterility is truly irrelevant. |

Yes, but to tards who slavishly adhere to the Biological Species Concept, it's not interspecific hybridization when it's between members of the same species. Jerry and his ilk think the species of finches in the Galapagos are actually varieties or subspecies. Not that it matters of course. Just a useful red herring to deceive the laypeople. |

Ilion is a fun one. He came up with a "disproof" of evolution (regarding the human chromosome 2 fusion) in some gaming forum years ago), and has been traveling from forum to forum peddling it ever since. His argument has been dismantled several times by different people, but when that happens he just leaves (because he just can't stand "intellectual dishonesty", you see) and finds another where the members haven't seen his pet argument demolished. Here is a thread on ARN where I dealt with him, and here is a blog where he tried it again ( a friend who frequents the blog noticed his presence and let me know). He is nasty piece of work, but easily refuted. The trouble is, many laypeople are impressed by his 'sciency' schtick. |

Not one ever replied. I think Joe lives in Salem's Lot |

Sal has had a bromance with Sanford for years. Sanford's lame book makes a big deal about a paper Lynch published expressing concern about mutational meltdown and the fitness of the human population. But what Sanford doesn't mention is work Lynch later did with Susan Estes, where they took lines of C. elegans, saddled them with huge detrimental mutational loads, and found that several lines actually recovered their original fitness levels. So much for genetic entropy. This paper provides a great slapdown when discussing genetic entropy with IDiots. Estes S & M Lynch (2002).

This reminds me of something I wrote up oN ARN once to show how duplication and recombination could result in an increase of information: Consider a partial grocery list for a 4th of July Picnic: 1 gallon bottle spring water 2 1-Liter Bottles Orange Crush 1 pound sliced Virginia ham 1 pound sliced Provolone Cheese 1 melon Now consider a duplication occurring for the word "water", and a recombination of "water" and "melon" to produce this: 1 gallon bottle spring water 2 1-Liter Bottles Orange Crush 1 pound Virginia ham 1 pound sliced Provolone Cheese 1 watermelon The second list has additional, novel, specified (oh how the creationists love specified information!) information ("watermelon" is more specific than just "melon"), and this specified information was produced by duplicating and recombining information that already existed. There is also a decrease in uncertainty. |

Overlapping species with similar ecological requirements can also coexist by "niche-partitioning". Diet specialization is one way. We see this in some species of Darwin's Finches, who, when food is abundant, are seed generalists. During drought, however, as the food supply dwindles, the different species avoid competition by specializing-- those with larger beaks seek the harder seeds, leaving the softer ones to the smaller birds. |

All one has to do to counter that Genetic Entropy nonsense is to mention that study by Estes and Lynch where they seriously degraded populations of Tribolium with deleterious mutations, then sat back and noticed that many of the populatioins not only eventually regained their original fitnesses before the degradation, but improved (probably due to compensatory mutations). If Genetic Entropy is true, that should never happen. |

I'm familiar with it. There have been several supposed finds of "precambrian" pollen: one in the Grand Canyon by a creationist named Burdick, one in the Salt Range of the Punjab, and the one discussed here, in the Roraima formation in South America. The Burdick claim was shown to be modern contamination due to extremely sloppy technique. Contamination is the most likely explanation, since both sites are in some of the most complex geological formations in the world. It's interesting that no such finds ever occur in more normal, stable precambrian formations. Another possible explanation is misidentification. One popular creationist claim was that a paleozoic angiosperm fossil was found in 1923 (angiosperms didn't begin showing up until the Cretaceous). It was subsequently shown to be something else, after other experts took a look at it. Color me skeptical |

Yeah, funny how creationists simply fall silent when we point out that flowering plants were created on Day Three of Creation Week, yet only appear in the "Flood strata" so much later. |

That's true, Lou; however I think the pollen found was believed to be that of angiosperms. They did find spores as well. |

Indeed. "Jerry" over in UD once stated that it took incredible amounts of new information to produce macroevolutionary change  at the level of new genera (I think "new genera" was his example). So I upped the ante to families by asking what huge differential in information there was between squirrels and gophers.  I don't remember jerry's exact response, but I do recall the grinding noise of goalposts being shifted. |

They keep saying how, without God threatening them with eternal damnation, they'd be mass murdering all over the place. How they must fantasize about having the freedom to do that without accountability. Their internal struggle against their murderous nature must be exhausting. |

The British Pacific Fleet included:  6 Fleet carriers 4 light carriers 9 escort carriers 2 aircraft maintenance carriers The BPF saw action at Operation Meridian and supported the Okinawa campaign by suppressing Japanese air activity at kamikaze staging airfields. The carriers  endured heavy kamikaze attacks, but because they had armored flight decks, returned to action very quickly. As one US Naval liason officer wrote: " "When a kamikaze hits a US carrier it means 6 months of repair at Pearl. When a kamikaze hits a Limey carrier it's just a case of 'Sweepers, man your brooms.'"   British Pacific Fleet |
