Unfortunately, Darwin did not fare well in the Greatest scientist of all time Cage-Match Tournament:
Darwin was upset by a tenacious Pasteur. Darwin had shown both grace and athleticism in his first round victory over Ptolemy but against Pasteur he seemed disorientated and made frequent attempts to escape from the cage before ultimately falling to the Frenchman who accentuated his victory by standing over the father of evolutionary theory and exclaiming, “You’ve been Pasteurized!” Later, his coach explained that Darwin had insisted on employing a multi-generational breeding strategy whereby he and his offspring mated with the world’s toughest women. Darwin felt that this strategy, combined with a smear campaign that claimed Pasteur suffered from syphilis, was unbeatable. Unfortunately Darwin’s coach was unable to convince him of the plan’s shortcomings, most notably its overly long timescale.

I loved how the National Center for Science Education worked in a little musical harmony there. Very festive.
One thing I’m wondering about… is Professor Lenski from Michigan State holding a shot glass that he’s using to toast Darwin? Or is it a beaker full of protozoa or something?
I guess it doesn’t matter if we know for sure, but I hope he did.

Close, but not quite. Per the parody…..
Pasteur was thoroughly outclassed by Newton. Ironically Pasteur, who had spent the lead up to the fight telling anyone willing to listen that he was going to “beat down Newton just like I beat down the theory of spontaneous generation” and had developed a reputation for arrogance, was unsure of himself and in the infrequent moments when he seemed to gain the upper-hand was unable, or unwilling, to press his advantage. In the end Newton emerged victorious after a powerful blow to the knee sent Pasteur to the mat for good.

The priorities of Democrats, exposed
We’re receiving E-mails from Capitol Hill staffers expressing frustration that they can’t get a copy of the stimulus bill agreed to last night at a price of $789 billion. What’s more, staffers are complaining about who does have a copy: K Street lobbyists. E-mails one key Democratic staffer: “K Street has the bill, or chunks of it, already, and the congressional offices don’t. So, the Hill is getting calls from the press (because it’s leaking out) asking us to confirm or talk about what we know—but we can’t do that because we haven’t seen the bill. Anyway, peeps up here are sort of a combo of confused and like, ‘Is this really happening?’”

Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman folds:
Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman has retreated slightly in his demand that President Obama apologize to the city for a recent remark. Instead, Goodman, as chairman of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, wrote a letter to Obama saying he must “straighten out the record.” Obama said companies should not take trips to Las Vegas or the Super Bowl at taxpayers’ expense. Goodman stressed that it’s wrong to stereotype business trips to the city as “junkets.” Senator Harry Reid defended Obama, saying he realizes Las Vegas is America’s top destination to do business.

Einstein’s theory not only tries to explain the fission/fusion of atoms but it also delves into the whole time/space question as well as a host of other astrophysical implications.

I heard an interview with Michio Kaku once where he said that there are maybe a few dozen people worldwide who really understand relativity and they all know each other. It’s a pretty small club.
Ashley Monatgue supposedly told Einstein this joke:
Two old men were sitting on a park bench. One of them says to the other: “All I hear about is Einstein and his Theory of Relativity. I just wish some one could explain to me this theory.” The other says: “It’s simple. It works like this. If a pretty girl is sitting on your lap, an hour seems like a minute. If an ugly girl is sitting on your lap, a minute seems like an hour. That’s Relativity.”
The first old man scratches his head and asks: “And from this Einstein gets a living?”
Einstein was supposed to have laughed and said it was as good an explanation as he had yet heard.

Ya know? those facebook people are nazi’s I’d been on there all of 1 month with an Obamessiah pic as my profile pic. After awhile one of the lib friends caught on that it was not supposed to be flattering, reported it and Bang! Account shot dead. Just like that, no warning. nothing.
Easy fix for that: Dont have lib friends.

How can Cato get bounced? If I understand this correctly, when Robert accepted the invitation to join that group, certain other friends of Robert were notified that Robert had joined, and one of those friends passed that info on to Cato.

Well, let’s see.
Cato the Elder finds Robert Joins and “unsavory” (genocide being unsavory) group on Facebook.
I find a post from last May where Robert uses the same logo, language and reasoning sans genocide as this bunch.
This fits a evolving pattern of at least the last year.
Robert’s excuse is he joined not knowing who they were / he was pranked / or Cato or Charles hacked his account. (It’s hard to tell), and he hasn’t addressed his Nakba post.
Robert goes to Hot Air threatens to sue Cato, Charles and anyone else who wanders into his line of fire.
I’d call that a rant.

They (Muslims) are an invading army and likely to start mass hostilities in Europe before the Continentals begin resisting.Hopefully it won’t come to that but it is Muslims pouring into Europe who are the one waving signs around about the the “Real Holocaust” they’re looking to unleash.

No it just means you are a moron..

I’m not sure what you mean by “return to what he does best”. I’ve not seen a course or charter on this blog. I would seem the owner of the blog would take it in the direction he so chooses.
One of the reasons I signed up (after a long time lurking) was the incredibly intelligent comments. The other reason was the posts put up by Charles. The majority deal with topics that excite people like me, people who love to learn and research. I’ve not seen that waiver or falter in any way shape or form.

Well, let’s see.
Cato the Elder finds Robert Joins and “unsavory” (genocide being unsavory) group on Facebook.
I find a post from last May where Robert uses the same logo, language and reasoning sans genocide as this bunch.
This fits a evolving pattern of at least the last year.Robert’s excuse is he joined not knowing who they were / he was pranked / or Cato or Charles hacked his account. (It’s hard to tell), and he hasn’t addressed his Nakba post.
Robert goes to Hot Air threatens to sue Cato, Charles and anyone else who wanders into his line of fire.

OT (I guess)
“Aurora drill-team member with ‘guns’ awaits expulsion decision”
She had a prop rifle in her car from her drill team. She carries a prop rifle when she marches…
An expulsion hearing for a Cherokee Trail High School student who had fake guns in her vehicle at the Aurora school took about an hour this morning, and a decision on her future is expected Friday.
Senior Marie Morrow, 17, was suspended for 10 days a week ago for having the fake rifles. She is a member of the Young Marines group, and the rifles were props used by the group.
Morrow’s attorney, David Lane, said the hearing went well. “Everyone testified to what an exemplary student she has been and continues to be.”
Cherry Creek Schools Superintendent Mary Chesley must decide whether Morrow will be allowed to return to school.
School officials said they had no choice but to suspend Morrow because state law mandates expulsion
Marie Morrow holds one of her practice rifles this afternoon as she awaits word of whether she’ll be expelled.
Morrow could be expelled for the rest of the year or return after she serves her suspension.

Apparently you haven’t been paying attention to the fact that Spencer, GoV, and some other sympathetic “anti-jihad” people/sites have been off the rails of sanity and common sense on the fascism train…we (Charles, along with most of us here) aren’t about to crawl into bed with those disposed to fascism, neo/paleo-Nazism, and ethnic nationalism in order to fight Islamists.

Colonel: US Army has working electropulse grenades
Contradicting previous reports, a US Army electronic-warfare colonel has apparently confirmed the existence of working non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse (EMP) ordnance - apparently so portable that it is even available in hand-grenade size.
The revelation came at a blogger roundtable (press conference) held in order to introduce the US Army’s new electronic-warfare specialist career field. The briefing was reported by the war-hacks at Military.com:
“EMP grenade technology is out there, but I’ve never had my hands on one,” said Col Laurie Buckhout, chief of the newly formed Electronic Warfare Division, Army Operations, Readiness and Mobilization…
The target may be a small building or a village, she said, and so a small jammer could be used, or EMP grenades.

re: #258 Killian Bundy
Odd that a foreign paper writes this when our own say we are much more sophisticated in our abilities.
At [Link: www.afcea.org…]
Col. Laurie Moe Buckhout, USA, chief of the Army EW division, points out this:
The army has been able to use EW for targeting and for surgically interdicting specific operators without interfering with other users of the local electromagnetic spectrum.Electronic countermeasures systems pressed into action against IEDs were not designed for crowded urban environments rife with various radio frequency systems. Many of these early counter-IED efforts interfered with friendly spectrum, both military and civilian.
Satellite, FM and cell phone systems all suffered from some of these jamming measures.
The military found that its vital global positioning system (GPS) and communications systems, including Blue Force Tracking, were disabled when these IED jammers were operating.
Iraqi emergency responders, such as Red Crescent ambulance staff, could not use their communications systems.
Civilians who relied on cell phone connectivity for their day-to-day existence were cut off, and even helicopters and aircraft could be affected locally.
But a key tactical success in the EW counter-IED effort was the refinement of materiel, techniques and operations, Col. Buckhout states.
Those interference issues have been largely resolved, so the Army now can counter enemy IEDs more effectively while maintaining vital communications and radio frequency systems.
“We have come a long way in technologies and capabilities to address the threat while enabling our own friendly use of the spectrum,” she states.
“We have had great successes countering certain types of IEDs by denying the enemy use of the spectrum.

That’s just it. It has never been conclusively confirmed. That’s why they still call it a “theory”.
Artifactual retroviral DNA sequences conclusively demonstrate beyong rational statistical doubt that humans and great apes evolutionarily diverged from common ancestors. And the spontaneous evolution of e coli has been observed in Richard Lenski’s lab, and since he froze lots of them before the mutation happened, it can be re-played and re-observed at will.

Egg of Power?
It’s an artistic statement I’m trying to make. The stores are blurring the lines between one holiday and the next, so this year I decided to start leaving up holiday decorations, as the holidays pass.
I started at Halloween, still have Halloween directions scattered around the apartment. A few Thanksgiving items are out on display Christmas decorations are blinking away.
Valentine Day will have to wait until I have a “valentine.”
And now Easter is coming up, so I need to add a little Easter into the mix.
My idea is to be ready for any holiday, at any time, in this way I don’t miss the spirit.
It looks kinda interesting in the apartment. A little had to explain to potential girlfriends.

Some people just do not understand how free speech works. Post whatever you want on your blog. On Charles’ blog, he is free to post what he wants, and allow whomever he wants to contribute comments. Comments he does not like he can and will delete.

I’ve actually created a database table to keep track of blocked users, and when I hit the button, I can enter the reason for the block. I did this because so many of these people like to go to other sites and claim they were banned just for uttering harmless opinions — when in reality, they’re almost all because of insults, demands to be banned, blatant dishonesty (very common in creationists), racist comments, or advocating violence.
Now if it becomes an issue with one of them, I can consult the blocked users table and pull up their records.

More than that — Robert Spencer only has a blog because I talked him into doing it. I put in at least $10,000 worth of work on his website without billing him, and defended him on dozens of occasions when he was attacked by leftists or Islamists. I sent him dozens of emails explaining over and over why I wanted nothing to do with Eurofascist groups, and he lied to me and said he agreed — then turned around and started making ridiculous, dishonest excuses for them.

Actually, my husband had one to keep in touch with his Army buddies, and then his kooky friends from Vermont joined up to keep in touch with him (my rigid ideology chased some of those friends away, I’m sad to say). So I joined up and started out with my husband as my one sad and lonely friend. Then I linked up with a milblogging friend of mine, and got to know some of his friends that work on projects similar to the ones I am involved in, and it is an easy way to blast an update to an entire group. Its really a way to keep in touch with friends, you can’t link to another person’s page unless you confirm you “know” that person - both parties must agree to it.

I’m confused again. Inside of Facebook, can’t you keep someone from linking from their Facebook page to your page? And vice versa?
If you answer is YES, then how does anything get out of control. You don’t put “friends” on your page who are kooks, and you do not accept a “friends” link on his kook site.
This is what confuses me. Doesn’t Facebook work just like any other social network, I mean a live one. You just don’t associate with kooks.

I don’t know where he went wrong, but I am sorely disappointed in the guy for hanging with the kind of crowd that would just as soon as throw me under the bus as the Islamic terrorists when given the opportunity. In the meantime, he offers up his legitimacy as a counter-jihad expert to these fringe groups and undermines the cause he fights for. Disappointing probably doesn’t begin to cover it, but I am disappointed in him and those who flock to his support and who haven’t thought this out.

Did you see the add for the new movie coming out in May, IIRC. Kirk as a young Star Fleet officer before becoming Captain of Enterprise.
Yes, it’s a Trek movie about the whole crew, fresh out of school (Star Fleet I guess). I’m not a great Trek fan.
I know someone in the movie.

True story. When the final episode of ST:TNG came on, I worked at a super geeky company. Several of us got together and partied at a friend’s house, planning to watch the episode together.
After about 20 minutes or so, the station started having problems and we missed the entire episode. We were in serious anguish. Thankfully, the channel rebroadcast the episode the next week. I still have it on tape.

Got deceived and bought into one of those phone rebate scams a few years back. Free $100 phone. Only need to buy a card per month. Oh, you can buy the number of minutes, but you can’t buy less than xxx. And if you don’t use them, you lose them.
And if you don’t complete the 18 question rebate card and provide ALL the sales documentation they require, no free phone. Clever scam. Cost me.

Whoa… what fresh hell have we entered here tonight. Trolls airlocked left and right and Charles on the warpath over that and Spencer.
Spencer did you wrong Charles, and you deserve to be pissed at him. More to the point, you have every right to be disappointed in the guy for standing with the Eurofascists and then watching him shrug and attempt a lame-ass Who me? Alfred E Neuman imitation. It’s unbecoming for him.
I don’t know where he went wrong, but I am sorely disappointed in the guy for hanging with the kind of crowd that would just as soon as throw me under the bus as the Islamic terrorists when given the opportunity. In the meantime, he offers up his legitimacy as a counter-jihad expert to these fringe groups and undermines the cause he fights for. Disappointing probably doesn’t begin to cover it, but I am disappointed in him and those who flock to his support and who haven’t thought this out.
If he had simply posted something like:
“I didn’t read what was on that Facebook page before joining the group, and I apologize for being careless. I renounce their views and want nothing to do with haters like that. It won’t happen again.”
I would have posted something like:
“Robert Spencer apologizes for joining this group, and says he doesn’t support their hateful views. Good enough for me.”
But instead, he’s concocting ludicrous conspiracy theories and throwing them out to his nutjob sycophantic followers like gobs of red meat.
Scum.

One thing has occurred to me, Charles, that doesn’t seem to occur to those trashing you over at that HA post. Pretty much every time this issue comes up, you go back and re-tell the story from the beginning where Spencer is content with just starting the story anew with, “Charles is a shameless liar.”
I don’t know the whole story on this, and at one time had great respect for what Spencer brought to the table, but his insistence that you are simply wrong in your assertions, then calls you a liar, leads me to believe your story.

Doohan (along with Marc Okrand) also created the Klingon “language” for ST:TMP, which has been used as the basis for almost all of the Klingon that’s been spoken and written in every ST series and movie since.

I know virtually nothing about Facebook but have been wondering about it today.
If I understand correctly, Facebook is primarily a facility for dating and social networking.
Could it be that some people are so lonely and hard up for companionship or other forms of personal interaction that they make a habit of joining others’ Facebook sites indiscriminately in a desperate search for meaningful personal relationships?
And knowing this, do others use Facebook to promote themselves purely for financial gain by preying on the lonely and desperate Facebook users and pretending to be their “friends”?
Comments?

Last time I was overseas was for Desert Storm, which was before I left active duty.
I’ve been mobilized for most of the last 5 years conducting training here in CONUS, but haven’t been deployed yet. My unit’s pretty much non-deployable, although we’ve had a good number of our people get cross-levelled into other units to fill vacancies.
There’s not much call for people in my MOS, particularly E-9s, so I pretty much have to talk them into letting me go over.

James Doohan’s Scotty accent was very much acted. He literally created the role of Scotty by doing the accent during a casting call for the second pilot. Too bad the creators of the show never took advantage of his missing middle finger on his right hand. Lost it during D-Day, and the show could have shown even 23rd century medicine couldn’t do some things.
FWIW, he died in Redmond, WA, about 30 or so miles north of where I am back in July 2005.

Well, science traditionally has been about the joy of discovery in observing our physical world.

Hooey. None of those people are burning incense at any altars dedicated to Darwin. They are scientists and students filled with the joy of discovery and are paying homage to one of their own who had the insight, courage and audacity to say: I think God did it this way.

As a thirteen year old I was told by a Christian brother, that Charles Darwin wasn’t very bright.
As an eighteen year old I read the “Origin of Species” and rapidly came to the conclusion that Darwin was a genius, with a superhuman deductive talent based on his observations.

Creationists really love this stupid “evolution is religion” argument, because they’ve failed utterly in trying to promote their religious pseudo-science to the status of real science, so instead they need to redefine science as religion so they can criticize it on the same level. Cognitive dissonance is inherent in this silliness; the only conclusion is that religion is somehow “less” than science, because when creationists do this it’s always intended as a smear against science.
It’s degrading to both science and religion, but it’s to be expected since intelligence and logic aren’t strong suits of creationists.

“Aurora drill-team member with ‘guns’ awaits expulsion decision”
She had a prop rifle in her car from her drill team. She carries a prop rifle when she marches…
An expulsion hearing for a Cherokee Trail High School student who had fake guns in her vehicle at the Aurora school took about an hour this morning, and a decision on her future is expected Friday.
Senior Marie Morrow, 17, was suspended for 10 days a week ago for having the fake rifles. She is a member of the Young Marines group, and the rifles were props used by the group.
Morrow’s attorney, David Lane, said the hearing went well. “Everyone testified to what an exemplary student she has been and continues to be.”
Cherry Creek Schools Superintendent Mary Chesley must decide whether Morrow will be allowed to return to school.
School officials said they had no choice but to suspend Morrow because state law mandates expulsion
Marie Morrow holds one of her practice rifles this afternoon as she awaits word of whether she’ll be expelled.
Morrow could be expelled for the rest of the year or return after she serves her suspension.
