Mariah Gardner
Photo by Nicolas Zurcher at the Hyde St Pier, near her tugboat-turned-office, the Sea Fox
About Mariah
These days Ms.Gardner finds herself taking long walks down a short pier on a fairly regular basis. When she's not keeping a weather eye on her sea-going minions, she can be found drowning her troubles in freshly-shucked oysters and homemade tonic. She once tried to shuck the oysters herself, but found the sense of remorse too great to enjoy the fruits of her labor and now solicits hard-hearted and well calloused heels to do the dirty work. If she could play the ukelele she would, but then she wouldn't spend nearly as much time Lewis and Clark-ing her way through uncharted waterways, dark bars and Sunday afternoons, remembering always to photograph her whereabouts for posterity. From a distance of forty feet, she's not a bad shot.

Artist Irving Kriesberg dies in New York City at 90
American painter Irving Kriesberg has died in New York City. He combined intense abstract colors with human and animal elements.
His son, Matthias, tells The New York Times his father died Nov. 11 of complications from Parkinson's disease. He was 90.
Kriesberg's works appear in major museums, including New York's Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington.
The Chicago-born artist also taught at Yale, Columbia and Pratt Institute.
In the 1940s, he applied for a job as lighting designer of the Times Square Wondersign billboard. For his audition, he created an illuminated Frank Sinatra, and got the job.
Survivors include his wife, Felice K. Shea, a retired State Supreme Court justice; and two children.

Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Scientists Tell Their Stories: George Murphy
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
Oxygen and Co-Creation
In the mid-seventeenth century, John Mayow conducted a series of experiments in which he showed that burning candles in bell jars consumed one-fifth of the enclosed air before extinguishing. Remarkably, mice placed in bell jars did exactly the same thing...
Series: Randomness and God's Governance
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
Understanding Evolution: Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence, Part 1
In science, we don't really know the true way things actually work. What we have are theories—broad explanatory frameworks supported by experimentation, which we can use to make testable predictions about the natural world.
Series: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Series: Evidences for Evolution
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Series: New Limbs from Old Fins
Stephen Matheson presents common descent by evolution as the best explanation for the universal pattern found in tetrapod limbs. He discusses initially the evolution and development of limbs in specifically vertebrate tetrapods. He looks at the question of origins and further digs into amazing fossil discoveries. He then gives evidence of evolution from fish to tetrapods by discussing the similarities in the anatomy, development, and genetic systems associated with this amazingly common pattern in vertebrate appendages.
The Source of Human Value
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
The Crutch
Providing the crutch for non-believers to lean on is a well-intentioned strategic error that has no benefit and likely does much harm. However, I am even more concerned about something else related to our construction of these crutches.
Series: Reviewing "Why Evolution is True"
In this three part series, Robert C. Bishop provides a helpful review for Evangelicals of the book Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne. He first debunks many outdated ideas and myths about the theory of evolution and its implications. He then goes on to critique Coyne's conclusions about God as a "bad designer." He further addresses how Christianity and science overlap as well as how to have a meaningful discussion between two individuals with radically different views.
Series: The Cambrian "Explosion", Transitional Forms, and the Tree of Life
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
Stochastic Grace
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".

Want to welcome a Japanese exchange student into your family this summer?
The Milpitas Lions Club is looking for homes to place seven students in from August 11 to 25, according to Thelma Batilo, the region chair for Lions Club International. There are a total of 30 students coming through the annual program, which fosters cultural exchange and understanding.
"The ultimate goal is to have each participant, upon returning home, apply the greater awareness and appreciation of others to fellow students, friends and family; to foster harmony toward good will in international relations," according to the basic guidelines on the program.
The guidelines ask families to accept the visiting students as a member of the family, and not just a guest. Families arrange a schedule of nearby things to do and places to see, as well as spending time at home.

June 23, 2005,
7:47 a.m. Morgan Spurlock, of Supersize Me fame, may have gained 30 pounds living on McDonald's for a month, but Soso Whaley had an altogether different experienceboth losing weight and dropping cholesterol points. (Read an analysis of her diet here.) And like Spurlock, Whaley has made a documentary all about her fast-food feasting. How did she do it? It's all about the choices you make, Whaley says in an interview with NRO Editor Kathryn Lopez. (You can view a trailer for Mickey D's and Me or purchase it here. Read more about Whaley's McDonald's exercise here.) National Review Online: Do you dedicate your documentary to Morgan Spurlock? What made you want to do your Mickey D's time besides the proving-him-wrong aspect? Soso Whaley: Actually I dedicate the film to the late Julia Child, who just wanted us to enjoy our food, and my dog Jock who is the "moaning dog" of my production company, he helps me stay active. I heard about Super Size Me on Good Morning America about mid-March of 2004 and was amazed that people were actually being bamboozled by director Morgan Spurlock of The Con Production Company. Even without seeing the film I could tell from the clips and the description by Spurlock that this was nothing more than junk science masquerading as legitimate scientific discovery. I had been looking into the issue of junk science through the site www.junkscience.com and felt that Super Size Me should not be allowed to exist without a proper counterpoint to it's blatant propagandizing and shoddy scientific methodology. Other than that, I wanted to lose ten pounds. NRO: Let's be honest. McDonald's isn't exactly health food. Why are you bucking them up? Whaley: If by "health food" you are referring to seaweed and new-age-type food products that taste like cardboard but claim to have great health benefits, no, McDonald's isn't what is considered to be a "politically correct" source of food in our current cultural climate. However, when I was growing up during the 50s and 60s we didn't have all the tens of thousands of food choices available today. Back then a hamburger or a chicken sandwich was considered a legitimate way to acquire a serving of high-grade protein and grains, add a tomato and some lettuce, maybe a little onion, pour an 8 oz. glass of milk and you have what would be considered a pretty healthy meal, provided you use proper serving sizes. So from my point of view McDonald's serves food that is no better or even different than that which I could acquire at the local store or pretty much any other restaurant To be honest this film is not about bucking up McDonald's, just a close look at what happens when a person engages in a lifestye which includes common sense and personal responsibility. I understand that these concepts are very scary to those individuals and corporations who rely on our fear and lack of education to make a buck. It's time to take a stand against these food cops and health nannies who won't be happy until we are eating only food approved by a small group of people who claim to have our best interests at heart but whose real agenda seems to be more about scaring people than in truly educating the public. Spurlock is merely an agent of those who would seek to control our lives and limit our choices "for our own good". NRO: So you lost weight? Did you just eat the salads? Aren't the salads even non-ideal calorie wise? Whaley: Yes, I lost weight and have managed to maintain that loss. The first time I did the diet in April 2004, I lost 10 pounds (going from 175 to 165) and lowered my cholesterol from 237 to 197, a drop of 40 points. I did the diet again in June 2004 and lost another 8 pounds (going from 165 to 157), there was no change in my cholesterol during that time as it remained at around 197. After the holidays in 2004 I had managed to maintain my weight around 155 but could feel that I was getting out of control in my eating habits and was looking to lose a bit more weight for the Spring of 2005. The real motivating factor that took me back to the Golden Arches for another round in February 2005 was the Oscar nomination for Super Size Me. I was not surprised but certainly disappointed that the Academy nominated Spurlock's film for an Oscar for Best Documentary. To protest this nomination of such a blatant piece of propaganda as a legitimate documentary I once again ate for 30 days at McDonald's and experienced another 10-pound weight loss. I was relieved that the Academy at least saw fit to reward a true documentarian for their efforts rather than The Con Production Company which is run by Spurlock. No, I did not just eat the salads. One of the parameters of two of the three diets was that I had to eat everything on the single item menu at least once during the course of the 30 days. As for your question about salads being "non-ideal" calorie wise, how exactly do you mean? Veggies do not normally have a lot of calories and a veggie is a veggie, some have more nutrients than others but veggies are more important for fiber, not calories. I think this is the type of wrongheaded thinking that is currently driving the confusion surrounding our dietary habits. NRO: And your cholesterol dropped? Does that even make sense? Whaley: Yes it did, without any medication, and eating food only from McDonald's my cholesterol dropped 40 points and I've maintained that drop. Of course it makes sense if you factor in that I was eating less food and a more balanced diet for my age and physical condition as well as engaging in regular moderate exercise. Another reason to recommend personal responsibility and making healthy choices as a first step to improving one's health. NRO: Did any doctors say you were crazy? Whaley: There are plenty of people, doctors included, who have a lot of time and energy invested in believing that certain types of food are "bad" for you, and I'm sure they are just horrified at my dietary adventures under the Golden Arches. Unfortunately, no matter what my results, these people and "experts" are far more interested in controlling our eating habits using fear and confusion rather than educating people about good dietary habits. Me & Mickey D is a threat to those who rely on knee-jerk response to control the public mind set. NRO: What's been the most surprising reaction you've gotten to your project? Whaley: When husbands ask me to talk to their wives about giving up spending lots of money at Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers and switch to the "McDonald's Diet" to save money. I have to laugh but certainly don't recommend that anyone try this particular diet. The real key was moderate exercise, making healthy choices, and staying at around 2,000 calories a day. This was about making lifestyle changes, not about what kind of food I was eating NRO: What's the most erroneous claim Super Size Me makes? Whaley: Spurlock asks where "personal responsibility ends and corporate responsibility begins" at the start of his film. As far as I'm concerned personal responsibility for your own life never ends. Besides I don't need some corporation to be "responsible" for me and my actions. NRO: What's your favorite McDonald's food? Whaley: The Big & Tasty with Cheese has been a favorite of mine since it was introduced. I also love the California Cobb Salad with Crispy Chicken. My favorite meal? A medium chocolate shake with medium fries. Yummy. NRO: What's the worst? (No one really eats McGriddles, do they?) Whaley: I love the McGriddle sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese. Very tasty. However, I must admit that I find the fish sandwiches to be a bit dry and bland. NRO: Would you recommend anyone eat McDonald's for 30 days? Whaley: Actually I think a lot of people do, at least for a few meals a week. Tens of millions of people eat there every day without ill effect. As for a 30-day diet to lose weight? That's up to the individual. This was not intended to promote a McDonald's diet for losing weight, it was meant to demonstrate that some of our current belief systems are incorrect. NRO: You expect to be nominated for an Oscar? Whaley: That would be nice but I'll be happy to make the Northern Lights Film Festival for now. NRO: Besides the obvious, Super-Size-Me-is-wrong/be responsible/McDonald's-can't-make-you-fat,-only-the-choices-you-make-can message, what is the overall point of your documentary? Whaley: Simply to encourage people to take more responsibility for their own lives and to appreciate the concept of freedom of choice that we have in the U.S. I also hope to inspire people to get out and move around more. Forget about "exercising," just get out there and celebrate your life by staying busy and productive. "Eat to live, don't live to eat." Moliere NRO: What's next? "Ice Cream and Me?" 30 days at Carvel? Whaley: Actually, I'm working on a documentary about the Camel Races that take place in Virginia City, Nevada, every year. I'm in the process of editing the footage I shot last year and am looking forward to premiering the film at the races this year in September. Tally Ho!

Allegheny County is a funny place to live—even for the native-born—with its chaotic assemblage of cities, townships, boroughs and municipalities cropping up all over the map with little apparent logic or consistency. There are so-called "cities" like Clairton and Duquesne that are tiny little places and townships that are immense.
Just the other day, after decades of looking for it, I found Lower St. Clair. We all know about Upper St. Clair, but in all my years of living in the South Hills, I never could find Lower St. Clair. Well, it's been there all along, hiding in plain sight. But that's another story.
This personal "Mystery of the Missing St. Clair" set me wondering about another South Hills conundrum: why are there two Baldwins? How come Baldwin Borough and Baldwin Township? They're both sitting right there, but they don't touch one another. Brentwood, Whitehall and even Castle Shannon separate them. How did that happen?
Today, Baldwin Borough is the bigger of the two at nearly six square miles of area and a population of about 19,000. Baldwin Township is comparatively little—less than one square mile in size and a population of less than 2,000. There are high schools with larger populations.
But way back, Baldwin Township was the big place with an area of 16 square miles. Baldwin Township was established in 1844. Petitioners named the land for Henry Baldwin, a Pittsburgh tycoon and Pennsylvania Supreme Court judge, and initially, the township stretched from the Monongahela River south to Washington County.
Industry thrived in Baldwin Township. Coal was king, and there was a prosperous glass factory. Cherries were a major agricultural crop, and whiskey was a thriving business.
By the early 1900s, however, things started going south (pardon the expression) for Baldwin Township as residents broke away to form their own communities that were more responsive to local needs.
Originally, the township embraced 10,550 acres—enough land for three dozen South Hills Country Clubs. Nowadays, the great majority of that land has spun off to become Baldwin Borough, Brentwood, Castle Shannon and Whitehall. Some of it was glommed by the City of Pittsburgh.
Here's another surprise: Did you know that Baldwin Borough is only 59 years old? It was established in October 1952 and spans a long, narrow vector of land running from the Monongahela River at the Pittsburgh line to South Park Township, bordering Pleasant Hills, Whitehall, Brentwood, West Mifflin and Bethel Park.
Out of the original Baldwin Township, "Carrick Borough" was founded in 1908 and became part of Pittsburgh in 1925. Castle Shannon Borough was founded in 1919 from parts of Baldwin Township, Mt. Lebanon and "Bethel Township."
Brentwood Borough was founded in 1915, combining the villages of Brentwood, Point View and Whitehall. "Hays Borough" was established in 1901 and became the 31st Ward of Pittsburgh in 1928.
"Overbrook Borough" was formed in 1919 and became part of Pittsburgh in 1929.
Today's Whitehall Borough was founded in 1948 from parts of Brentwood Borough and "Bethel Township," which morphed into Bethel Park Borough in 1949.

Tension rises for the 6-series from 630i to M6: The AC Schnitzer TENSION Street Version
The IAA 2005 saw the much-observed premiere of the Concept Car AC Schnitzer TENSION based on BMW M6. The positive reception together wîth huge demand for this unique vehicle persuaded us to include in our range a road-going version, limited to 50 examples, for conversion from the 630i - M6 model. After just 11 months of development and testing, we now present: the AC SchnitzerTENSION Street Version
Naturally the 'small brother' could not be a 1 : 1 copy of the Concept Car, as the TENSION is a technology showcase which demonstrates what is technically feasible. In contrast, the
TENSION Street Version had to incorporate suitability for everyday use wîth no loss of
driving pleasure or reliability.
The focal point of the development work was adaptation of the breathtaking, costly aerodynamic
conversion for series production.
The bonnet of the AC Schnitzer TENSION, restyled from the standard 6-series, is used on the Street Version. It reveals at first glance, from its large air outlet edged in a chrome frame, that the ventilation of the power plant is actively supported by sufficient cooling air flow. The front skirt of the TENSION technology showcase has been completely adapted. It makes the TENSION Street Version look much lower and at the same time improves downforce on the front axle at high speeds. The air intake provides additional cooling for the engine and the front brakes and also gives the TENSION Street Version its unmistakeable facial expression. To provide sufficient ventilation for the power plant, the new front wing has integral air outlet openings which wîth their three chrome ribs and the indicators are reminiscent of a shark's mouth.
Adequate air exchange is essential not only in the front of the vehicle in order to develop its full
potential. The same principle applies to the rear.
Consequently, in the TENSION Street Version too air ducts for the rear brakes have been worked into the striking side skirts. The side skirts which give the vehicle its elongated appearance form the smooth transition to the rear, which on the TENSION Street Version in comparison wîth the Concept Car is still very sporting but slightly less lavish. The rear skirt houses not just the solid stainless steel twin exhaust system wîth chromed Sports Trim tailpipes but also a carbon diffuser.
Another highlight at the rear of the TENSION Street Version is the boot lid which was originally
reserved for the TENSION. But its modified styling gives the rear of the BMW 6-series the 'Finishing Touch', so the new boot lid is now a firm part of the Street Version conversion.
The bodystyling of the TENSION Street Version is completed by the AC Schnitzer sports mirrors and the extravagant two-colour paintwork in Alpine White in combination wîth Anthracite Metallic. Naturally other paint options are available on request.
What does a costly aerodynamic conversion look like without the right wheel and tyre combination? We think it's incomplete. So we decided to equip the TENSION Street Version wîth the latest AC Schnitzer wheel generation: the forged alloy Type V. Appearance is one thing, but much more important in this context is the safety aspect. To take this into account, and secondly to meet the high technical demands placed on the AC Schnitzer wheel by our engineers, a complete new wheel development was required. The result is the Type V alloy forged wheel wîth bi-colour finish. It has a partly polished, partly painted surface. This wheel type, available for all 5 and 6-series, achieves a fundamental paradox: reduction in weight wîth simultaneously maximum wheel diameter and width.
The TENSION Street Version is fitted wîth rims size 9.0J x 20' on the front and 10.0J x 20' on the rear, and each front wheel weighs in at just approx. 10.8 kg. The tyres to fit the wheels are size 245/35 ZR 20 on the front and 285/30 ZR 20 on the rear.
In conjunction wîth the wheel and tyre combination, a sports suspension has been developed for the TENSION Street Version which lowers the vehicle by around 25 - 30 mm and perceptibly improves driving dynamics. For the M6, a suspension spring kit is available. To counter lateral roll, AC Schnitzer antiroll bar sets are fitted to the front and rear axles. Another suspension highlight is our in-house spring strut brace of aluminium which superbly prevents distortion in the vehicle front.
Depending on base vehicle, the TENSION Street Version can be fitted optionally wîth the new AC Schnitzer 5.1 l engine. This is available in principle for all BMW 6-series wîth N62 B44 or N62 B48 TÚ engines.
The new engine offers a true alternative to the M5 or M6. As this conversion is also available for vehicles wîth automatic transmission, fans of automatics can now enjoy the higher power in conjunction wîth the pleasures of an automatic.
Whereas the basic engine gives maximum torques of 450 or 490 Nm, the AC Schnitzer 5.1 l engine achieves 550 Nm. Naturally the performance has been optimised. It rises from 245 kW (333 HP) or 270 kW (367 HP) to a superb 302 kW (411 HP). At the same time, driving performance is enhanced. The top speed rises on average by around 35 km/h.
These excellent figures are obtained by the use of specially developed engine components. Individually, these are:
AC Schnitzer special cylinder block AC Schnitzer special cylinder head
AC Schnitzer special pistons AC Schnitzer special conrods
AC Schnitzer special crankshaft AC Schnitzer exhaust manifold
AC Schnitzer special catalyst AC Schnitzer Control Únit Program
AC Schnitzer sports rear silencer wîth chromed Sports Trim tailpipes
To achieve excellent deceleration figures, the AC Schnitzer high performance brake system from the TENSION has been modified. At the front axle, an 8-pot fixed caliper wîth perforated, vented brake discs and special pads ensures braking wîth ruthless efficiency. However, this kit is reserved for the Street Versions based on BMW M6.
Only the interior remains, and this too has been modified in typical AC Schnitzer fashion: Starting
with the carbon interior trim in titanium via the 3-spoke airbag sports §teering wheel in leather wîth carbon applications, the automatic selector lever in carbon, the new combiinstrument wîth a speed display up to 320 or 330 km/h, through to velours mats for footwell and boot wîth red embroidered logo: this all gives the characteristic look to the interior of theTENSION Street Version. The overall impression is completed wîth silver or black anodized aluminium accessories comprising pedal set, foot rests, handbrake handle and cover for the controller of the 'i-Drive' systems.
Last but not least, the silver serial number on the black anodized aluminium placard on the centre console permanently reminds the driver that he is sitting in a very special car: e.g. TENSION Street Version no. 1/50.
The AC Schnitzer TENSION Street Version is available in various levels. The conversion
work is performed exclusively by AC Schnitzer in Aachen. The only exceptions are the ÚSA
and Japan, where trained specialists perform the vehicle conversion locally.Source - AC Schnitzer

Lakemoor man acquitted of home invasion, battery
WOODSTOCK – After about three hours of deliberation, a jury Wednesday acquitted a Lakemoor man on charges of breaking into his on-and-off girlfriend's home and punching her repeatedly in the head.
Robert L. Hilt, 36, had faced between six and 30 years in prison if convicted of home invasion. He also was charged with two counts of domestic battery.
Hilt and the alleged victim have known each other since they were 11, dated for about four years and have a child together.

This is a first draft of what I plan to eventually post to the talk.origins newsgroup. Comments from real astronomers or anyone else are requested.
Gravity versus the Young-Earth Creationists
Young-earth creationists not only claim that the Earth is less then ten thousand years old, they almost always claim that the universe is itself under ten thousand years old as well. The reason for this is clear if one literally reads the first account of creation that starts the Book of Genesis which indicates that the Sun and Moon were created on the fourth day while grass, herbs, trees, and dry land were created on the third day. The discovery that the vast majority of astronomical objects are so distant that it would take light far longer than ten thousand years to reach the telescopes of astronomers is often pointed out as an observation that contradicts the premise that Genesis should be accepted as literal truth. How astronomers know how far astronomical objects are and how young-earth creationists deal with this objection are covered in detail in the Determining Distances to Astronomical Objects FAQ. It must be noted though that the astronomical absurdities of such creationist views are hardly limited to the problem of seeing light that should not have had time to reach us. Our solar system has many features that are strong evidence for the notion that it existed before ten thousand years ago. This essay focuses on one of them: an asteroid collision that can be conclusively dated as happening 5.8 ± 0.2 million years ago simply by tracing back the orbits of its fragments.
Asteroids or minor planets are small rocky objects orbiting the Sun many of which are in a "belt" between the planets Mars and Jupiter. As of February 12, 2004 there are 152,303 asteroids in the AstDyS database. Many asteroids in the asteroid belt form "families" as was first noted by Japanese astronomer Kiyotsugu Hirayama in 1918.
These families are groups of asteroids with orbital parameters closer to each other than would be expected by chance. Hirayama suggested that these families are the result of breakup of a larger asteroid. This was a reasonable hypothesis since with thousands of asteroids it would be reasonable to expect the collisions that would cause asteroids to breakup would occur but for decades there was no strong evidence to back this up. Starting with a 1999 Massachusetts Institute of Technology doctoral thesis by Schelte Bus this changed. One can examine the spectrum of the light from asteroids. If a Hirayama family is really is the result of an asteroid breakup then its members should have similar spectra due to similar chemical compositions. Furthermore not all Hirayama families will have the same composition. Bus showed that these predictions were true for some Hirayama families.
Ivezic et al. (2002) examined 10,592 asteroids (6,612 with well-determined orbits) using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. That survey which is actually for objects outside of our Galaxy had to recognize the presence of asteroids moving in front of objects that it intended to observe so they would not contaminate the data. Ivezic et al. (2002) showed that just mentioned predictions were true and thus provided strong evidence that the members of a Hirayama family have a common origin. Indeed each of the three largest Hirayama families (Eos, Koronis, and Themis families each named after their largest member) represented different category of the four major types of asteroids. The Vesta family represents the fourth type. This family is named after (4) Vesta, which is the third largest and brightest asteroid. (The "4" in "(4) Vesta" indicates that fourth asteroid cataloged.) The studied showed that asteroids judged to be members of a family based on orbital considerations have similar composition based their observed light. The study furthermore concludes that 90% of the main-belt asteroids (i.e. between Mars and Jupiter) are members of a family.
Now that a family of asteroids has a common origin is something which can be put to good use by astronomers. But unfortunately if these families are hundreds of millions of years old, as astronomers believe them to be then enough time has passed that the family to been affected by additional asteroid collisions, by the effects that radiation has on orbits, and by chaotic orbital changes.
Nesvorny et al. (2002) set out to remedy this situation. They used a computer to search the known orbits of asteroids for groups of asteroids that might have been the result of a recent event. "Recent" meaning as an astronomer understands the term but not as a creationist would. They found that 39 asteroids that they looked at formed a "compact feature." For those familiar with statistics the clustering was statistically significant to a level greater than 99%. Calculations showed that the cluster cannot be older then a few tens of millions of years old since it would have dispersed in a greater time. Thus they concluded that the cluster "must be young--so young, in fact, that it may be the first essentially unaltered disruption structure ever identified in the main belt." They named it the Karin family after its largest member, (832) Karin.
Nesvorny et al. (2002) wished to deduce the actual age of the Karin family. The method is simply to trace back the orbits of the family's members. For this analysis they used 13 of the 39 asteroids. This subset was chosen on the basis of how well known the asteroid orbits were known so that only asteroids with well-determined orbits were used for reasons that should be obvious. Basically they used a software package that used Newton's theory of gravity to determine what the orbits of the asteroids were in the past. Since the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) have so little gravitational influence they were neglected, but the four gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) had their gravitational influence accounted for. They also neglected the effects of radiation.
The results showed that about 5.8 ± 0.2 million years ago the orbits converged to almost the exact same orbit. The researchers estimated the odds of 13 unrelated orbit randomly meeting in a period of four and a half billion years is less then one in a million. Thus it is safe to rule out coincidence and thus it would seem certain that these asteroids had the same orbit and thus were the result of a breakup that occurred 5.8 million years ago. The researchers further tested their ideas by redoing the analysis including the gravity of the inner planets and found it made no difference in the results. They also ran the calculations 50 million years into the future and 50 million years into the past and found no other alignment of orbits.
The point of all this should be obvious: The Solar System must be at least 5.8 million years old. Actually it must be even older than that since the Karin family is the only known grouping of asteroids that is young enough that such calculations can be done for the reasons already discussed above. Indeed the Karin family is itself part of much larger Koronis family of asteroids which itself is the remains of a more ancient breakup.
How can a young-earth creationist deal with this? They can't say that this was an event that was before the Earth was formed since a literal reading of the Bible clearly states that the Sun -- the object these asteroids are orbiting -- was created after the Earth was. Their usual methods of denying that it took light of astronomical objects millions or billions of years to reach us simply don't apply to the Solar System with the exception of God creating a universe that falsely appears to be old. They can't deny the theory of gravity since it so precisely and correctly predicts where objects in our Solar System will be and since it used so successfully to precisely navigate space probes. For radiometric dating and for light travel time creationists sometimes argue that constants of physics are not constant but greatly vary in time. But there is only one physical constant relevant to this analysis: the gravitational constant that governs how strong gravity is. But this is not an option since that would change Earth's orbit, affect the stability of the Sun, and make objects on Earth weigh many times greater. There is no way out for creationists other than ignoring the evidence or admitting that they were wrong about the universe being young.
Meanwhile researchers continue to use the discovery of the Karin family. Michel et al. (2003) did one such follow up study. They modeled asteroid collisions in a computer in an attempt to simulate the asteroid collision that created the Karin family. They discovered that the collision of monolithic asteroids (i.e. solid bodies) could not result in the formation of a cluster with the properties of the observed Karin family. However if the colliding asteroids were pre-fragmented, they could generate results that resembled the Karin family. Thus they concluded that the parent body of the Karin family was pre-fragmented. This should be unsurprising since the Karin family is part of the older Koronis family. Furthermore the largest members of the Karin family are according to the modeling the results of gravitational reaccumulation of the smaller objects created by the collision. Michel et al. (2001) had previously simulated that formation of the Eunomia and Koronis asteroid families and had concluded that their larger members were gravitationally reaccumulated fragments and that it was likely true for all the large asteroid families.

Beginner Carving Supplies
The following items are recommended as the basic requirements for a person that is beginning to carve. They are listed in order by the importance or necessity of use in carving. If you would like to call our customer service desk, (800-809-4286), we will help you with your selection. We are carvers ourselves and we make recommendations based on our years of experience and our experience of what works and what does not.
Click on red words for links to web pages with more information & pictures.
1. Safety Supplies -- We recommend that all carvers should consider the use of a safety glove and a thumb guard.
2. All woodcarvers need a
knife. We recommend the American made general
carving knife with the 1-1/2" blade. The knife has a slim
handle that many people prefer.
Catalog number: HCK102 $14.95 Another very good choice
for a quality tool would be the
Fur and Feathers handmade knives.
These knives are very sharp, and they hold that edge for a long time without
regular sharpening on a stone. They are available in four blade lengths
from 1" to 1-3/4". Handles are solid hardwood - Zebra Wood, walnut, or
cherry. Good value for the money.
3. Woodcarving gouges are a must for almost all projects. We recommend starting
Ramelson gouges with palm handles that
fit nicely in the hand and have a flat side that prevents them from rolling off
a table or bench. These gouges are available in either a "standard" or
"miniature" size. The miniature tools are frequently used for fine detail work,
but the main tools you will use are in the standard size set. If you are going
to buy only one set, go with the standard size set. Straight handles are
available for those carvers that prefer them over the palm style.
SP117 Standard size with palm handles
SP117M Miniature size with palm handles
SP116 Standard size with straight handles
SP116M Miniature size with straight handles
4. Tool rolls are a safe and easy way to store and protect your carving tools. Either the Wood is Good brand or Boat Canvas Tools Rolls will do the Job. The above listed Ramelson gouges will fit in the 6 inch tool roll.
5. Books, patterns and other reference materials. There are three basic types of books available - the general reference book, the step-by-step book that details how to carve one or two projects, and books of patterns only. We recommend a book like Woodcarving With Rick Butz - good basic information on tools, woods, painting and finishing. For the step-by-step books and pattern books, there are a wide selection available and it will be your choice based on your own interests in subject material for carving. Good authors are Tom Wolfe, Helen Gibson, Kelly Stadelman, and Cleve Taylor - Click here for a list of their books as well as some other step-by-step titles. Click here for a list of very good books for those starting out in carving. We also have books that are specifically written for children - Click here.
Wood!!! We recommend basswood
as a good wood for carving. The basswood is quite soft and has a
consistent grain structure that is very consistent to work with and it will hold
detail without crumbling off.
We carry a good selection of prime top quality of basswood in many sizes.
7. For chip carving, we recommend the
Barton Knives
- the cutting knife and the stab knife. Wayne's
deluxe knives have slightly larger handles and the cutting knife has an
increased angle on the blade - a definite improvement over
older style knives..

Comment: Re:Transactional Currency, not Safe Haven Storage (Score 1) 490
However, mined Bitcoins required Electricity and Hardware, very real assets to produce -- it is unlikely that large miners will be willing to release their BTC for a price significantly lower than the cost they incurred to generate the BTC
The cost/difficulty of mining is not constant, but adjusts in response to the number of nodes mining at any given moment. If the value of Bitcoins go down and people stop mining, the network responds by making it easier to mine so people start mining again. That way, Bitcoins are created at a predictable rate, whether Bitcoins are valued at $100 or $0.01. The price floor effect you're talking about won't happen.
