Speak Out Against Unsustainable Wolf Management
On October 15 Wisconsin began its third wolf hunting season since the species was removed from the Endangered Species Act list. The hunt will continue until the end of February, unless this year's quota of 156 wolves (includes 6 wolves for the tribes that won't be used) is reached before then. Given that 113 wolves have already been killed during the first 14 days of the season, it is likely that it will end early. The problem is that, when all is said and done, current DNR rules might allow for killing more wolves than the quota specifies, and over time, scientists fear that the hunt may be unsustainable. For instance, before zone 2 in northeastern Wisconsin closed, 29 wolves were harvested, despite the fact that the quota was 15. Six wildlife researchers recently voiced serious concerns to the US Fish & Wildlife Service about DNR's population monitoring methods since the wolves were delisted – and they have even called for an emergency relisting of the species. Specifically, data on successful reproduction of wolf packs has not been presented, and required necropsies of dead wolves have not been performed to determine whether poaching has increased since the advent of the hunt or deregulation of hound training earlier this year. In addition, wolf monitoring methods have changed from year to year, complicating efforts to document changes over time.
While the John Muir Chapter's newly formed Protecting Native Forests & Wildlife Subcommittee is carefully weighing the implications of supporting federal relisting, we share the experts' concerns about Wisconsin's wolf hunt. To that end, we are urging the DNR to include all human-caused wolf mortality when considering when to close this year's wolf season, rather than keeping the hunt open until the quota in each of the six hunting zones is officially achieved or exceeded.
This is important, given the potential lag time allowed between time required to report kills (with the hotline between open between 7am and 10pm, rather than 24 hours a day) and giving hunters five days before voluntarily presenting carcasses for inspection. Wisconsin is the only state in the nation that allows hounds to be used for wolf hunting, and we are the only state that offers depredation payments for lost hunting dogs, with payments amounting to nearly $500,000 since 1985. Hunting is allowed statewide during breeding periods.
Please click here to urge the DNR to include all human-caused mortality to ensure that this year's quota of 156 will not be vastly exceeded. Given the rapid pace of this year's hunt, on top of deficient population monitoring, and the 367+ wolves killed in previous seasons, allowing careless management of this iconic, native predator could put populations in jeopardy once again.
Take Action to Expand Clean Transportation Options in Wisconsin
Expanding investments in transit, biking, walking, and local roads is essential for reducing our dependence on dirty tar sands oil, reducing climate change emissions and air pollution, and meeting mobility needs of low-income communities, disabled citizens, young professionals and seniors.
For many years, WisDOT has been spending billions of taxpayer dollars overbuilding highways, while shortchanging local roads, transit, and biking and walking infrastructure.
Highways continue to expand, even as demand for them is dropping. Wisconsinites drove 8.4% fewer miles in 2012 than in 2007, and surveys show young professionals increasingly want to live and work in places that offer options other than driving! Help us block repeated attempts to remove transit from the transportation budget, support for a more balanced transportation budget that meets the needs of all citizens, reject attempts to divert flexible funds that should be used for cleaner transportation options to highways. Click here to sign the petition calling for a more balanced transportation budget today!
If you want to get more involved in clean transportation work, attend one of our Transportation Town Hall meetings in October. Please join the Sierra Club and other members of the Coalition for More Responsible Transportation (CMRT) for an event on Tuesday, October 14 in Milwaukee to learn more about the proposed $1.1 billion I-94 highway expansion that will bisect neighborhoods, desecrate cemeteries, and disrupt local businesses. Whether or not you can attend, please sign our petition calling for cleaner, cheaper, safer alternatives to this costly highway boondoggle today! If you live outside of Milwaukee, join us at upcoming events in Eau Claire (10/13), Appleton (10/16), La Crosse (10/22), Wausau (10/23) and other locations for lively discussions about Wisconsin's transportation future and funding decisions.
Take Action to Stop Destructive Mining Threatening the Penokee Hills
Gogebic Taconite's proposed open pit iron-ore mine in the Penokee Range offers short-term benefits in exchange for increasing the risks of permanent water contamination, adverse health effects, and degradation
of the Bad River Tribe's culture. The Penokee Range is home to hardwood forest and pristine rivers and streams, wetlands, and lakes. The land provides crucial habitat to wolves, bald eagles, songbirds, rare plants, and countless other animals that rely on the forested community.
This project would have massive air and water impacts on the Bad River Watershed, including threatening over 1,000 acres of wetlands, including the Bad River / Kakagon Sloughs, over 75 miles of Outstanding and Exceptional Resource Waters, and the aquifer that supplies well water to homes and businesses in the area. Over 200 inches of snow each year provides fresh clean water that supports the Bad River Watershed and Lake Superior. The Kakagon and Bad River coastal wetland complex on Lake Superior are known as "Wisconsin's Everglades". This area is critical to the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa for wild rice production. The new iron mining law fundamentally limits DNR's authority and resources needed to scientifically evaluate the impacts of this damaging proposal. We cannot risk these vital water resources and public health just to suit arbitrary mining company deadlines.
Mining is a 'boom and bust' economy, especially true with the inconsistent steel market. The mine threatens the current tourism and wild rice economy critical to the region. The risks don't outweigh the potential short-term jobs. Click here to urge the DNR to reject this risky proposal in order to safeguard Wisconsin's fragile natural resources.
Take Action to Prevent Another Raw Trade Deal Today
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a devastating trade policy that would cost Wisconsin jobs and lower working conditions and environmental standards worldwide, is being rammed through Congress in an alarming way. Last week, fast track authority for the TPP was introduced. Fast track limits legislative review and debate, requiring Congress to vote the deal up or down without amendments. Once approved, the TPP would actually require changes in local law where it conflicts with the terms of the agreement.
Like other free trade agreements before this one, the Sierra Club is concerned that US citizens have been kept in the dark while its details have been negotiated for years in secret by and for the world's largest corporations. In twenty years NAFTA has cost American workers 700,000 jobs. How many jobs are we going to lose with the Trans-Pacific Partnership? The Sierra Club is also troubled by the TPP's potential to undermine state and federal environmental protections. Similar provisions in previous agreements have already led to a race to the bottom that has resulted in water contamination, habitat destruction, and loss of biodiversity for participating countries. Finally, we have acute concerns about the Trans-Pacific Partnership Free Trade Agreement's potential to fuel destructive frac sand mining and fracking by speeding up exports of US natural gas to TPP countries with no Department of Energy review or assessment of the environmental or economic implications.
Since 2010, negotiations have been taking place for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a huge, NAFTA-style deal involving the United States and the governments of Australia, Brunei, Chile, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam. Negotiations are being conducted in secret, with little opportunity for citizens to see what is being proposed and agreed to. Everything from labor standards, food safety, environmental standards and human rights will be rolled back and dismantled if the TPP passes. The public deserves the necessary time to debate and fully understand the ramifications of this massive trade deal. Click here to send a letter to your member of Congress. Tell them to get TPP off fast track today.
Urge Legislators to Support Clean Energy for Wisconsin!
Sign the petition & help us reach our 5,000 signature goal this summer! |
Wisconsin's job creation rank continues to slip as we send over $12.5 billion out of state to import fossil fuels every year. We have a great chance to kickstart our economy by using assets that exist in our state right now to create high-tech renewable energy jobs. All that is missing is the political will to grasp the future. By investing in clean energy, Wisconsin will be far better positioned to compete in the 21st Century economy.
Wisconsin's 10% Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) will be met by all of our utilities by 2015. New goals are needed now to ensure continued renewable energy development that will create jobs, protect our health and environment, and keep more of our money in Wisconsin. We cannot afford to fall behind as clean energy companies chase states with better policies! Sign our petition urging your state legislators to protect our environment and create jobs by expanding renewable electricity standards, improving net metering, and allowing clean energy choice today!
Clean Energy Creates Jobs! Wisconsin already employs over 1,600 in the solar industry and another 2-3,000 in the wind industry. Investing in clean energy would stimulate economic development, provide revenue for rural communities, and create much-need jobs in a variety of areas, from manufacturing to research to installation and maintenance positions.
Wisconsin can't afford to fall behind in the clean energy race! According to the American Wind Energy Association, Wisconsin had only 648 MW of wind installed by the end of 2012, as compared to 988 MW in Michigan, 1,543 MW in Indiana, 3,568 MW in Illinois, 5,133 MW in Iowa, and 2,987 MW in Minnesota. As we look around to neighboring states, we are left wondering, why isn't Wisconsin open for clean energy business?
Clean Air Protects our Environment! Burning coal is the top contributor to climate change, and Mercury from coal-fired power plants has led to fish consumption advisories for every lake and river in Wisconsin. Clean energy provides an emission-free alternative to coal.
Clean Energy Protects our Health! Soot and smog from coal-fired power plants have been linked to asthma, heart attacks, and deaths. In contrast, no peer-reviewed studies have found any negative health effects of wind energy, or evidence of 'wind turbine syndrome.'

National Hugging Day: 7 Step Plan To Get More Hugs
"Hugs are what I miss the most."
A deep sigh followed by a painful silence. Not knowing the frail little lady in front of me, I was not sure what to say. Her skin at 85 was nearly transluscent and it looked like a hug might break a bone.
"How long has it been?" I asked.
"Thirty eight years next week, two days before our anniversary."
A hug would be about perfect right now, wouldn't it? So what's the problem? As Chris Thompson, former Saginaw News (MI) columnist states on http://NationalHuggingDay.com, "part of the problem huggers face is this guarded age where hugs are easily misinterpreted and subject to a leering look or a lawsuit". Between that and all the fear over viruses and super bugs, hugs are taking a beating.
National Hugging Day
According to Wikipedia, Kevin Zaborney, a pastor in Michigan is credited for creating the National Hugging Day in 1986. Zaborney calculated that January 21 was exactly midway between Christmas and Easter and was therefore when a hug would be most appreciated.
He wanted Americans to get more comfortable with being publically supportive and affectionate of one another and hoped a National Day of Hugging would change that. While the holiday is not officially noticed by the government, it is picking up more momentum every year.
National Hugging Day has it's own website with more great news about the health benefits of hugging as well as Celebrity Hugging Allstars.
As Thompson says, "NATIONAL HUGGING DAY is a different form of sharing. We've got more than our quota of whiners and far too few huggers these days. Consider hugging as non-sexual, like a handshake or a high-five. Such personal contact makes you feel good. That's what NATIONAL HUGGING DAY is all about."
So what's a hugger to do with all of the health concerns, safety concerns and arms not getting near enough bear hugs?
Here is a 7 step action plan to celebrate this National Hugging Day
National Hugging Day Action Plan
1. Calibrating Your Hug Meter: Inside every person you see, behind every face that comes into your world is someone who needs a hug. You might not be the one to deliver it and that is fine. Don't get ahead of me. Your challenge is to acknowledge with a mindful thought the following: "This person, just like me, needs a hug every now and then."
2. Honor The Non Huggers: It's tough on a hugger these days, I'll tell you! With all the fear of viruses and super bugs, some don't consider it extreme to hand you a sanitizer in a foil envelope before you shake hands. But. There is good news. There are a lot of huggers out there and they need to find each other. When you repeat the above statement for everyone you see, huggers and non huggers alike, you project your love of hugging into the environment around you.

Hey All,
I am a new CC'er and I had a question for all you experts there...
My father in law, a former cop, gave me his AMT Backup, and I have fired about 150 rounds through it with little problems.
My question is when I am CCing, should there be a bullet in the chamber. I have heard strong arguments either way. Mind you there is no safety, but has a hefty trigger pull, and is double action only.
So let me know what ya'll think please..
One other thing, I know some people have a disdain for the AMT Backup, but dad-in-law had it for 10 years and swears by it, and his opinion matters much more than anonymous nay-sayers... So please keep on topic

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
Recommendations for laptop mainly videos
It is time for me to upgrade my laptop. I have a full size one which I find I don"t use as much and one of those little Asus eee 1005hab. I am not that savvy on specs so really need advice on what to look for. I mainly use it for the portability. I watch a lot of downloaded stuff and find it often stutters and the sound goes for a bit, I thought this was happening on live feeds but notice it on video and it cannot seem to handle hd recordings either. I use VPN also. Battery life not that important as mainly it is used either in house or during travels in hotels. Screen size doesn't have to be huge. Things I like about the Asus, small, easy to pack, keyboard easy to use and I bought silicone cover for keyboard for protection. Not really going to be doing a lot of typing or gaming. Hard drive also doesn't have to be huge since I have many portable drives. I guess really the eee was fitting the bill except I think I could do better in terms of speed and the sound thing is really becoming PITA. I also don't mind using external speakers and I always use USB mouse so I am not picky on those either. What is out there that fits bill?
SlickDeals Hall of Fame(2011-2016):
$100 TouchPad, $100 GPad, $100 Intel Core Laptop,$100 Nexus7FHD, $100 Venue8Pro,$400 60-inch TV, $20 Garmin/TomTom, $150 LG G Phone, $35 521 Phone, $10 Hydro Phone, FAR, $12 AR Eyeglasses, $17 Power Bill.These flash steals come all year. Set your alerts on lightening....... |
Stutters and frequent buffering may indicate the machine is too slow for the specific video playback, or the network transfer speed is not fast enough. If the network speed through VPN is too slow it won't solve your problem when you upgrade to different laptop/tablet. One way to test this is by watching the same (problematic) video clips through VPN with the faster full-size laptop. If the playback is fine then upgrade the netbook, if the video stutters on the big laptop then you may want to consider switching to a faster VPN server.
If you do, you can format the 2.5 drive to exFAT and your tablet maybe able read your 120-1TB movie collect. Your need the right type of cable based on your tablet. Walmart sells the 599.99 Vizio on clearance, so check Walmart.com for stock details. |
Vizio tablet? OP, I would agree that a good tablet would really fit here. You can download stuff to it (Depending on what you use and the tablet) Do you have a budget? An ultrabook would also work but I am wondering if its above your budget. Vague questions receive vague answers . . . . . .
It may not be a perfect machine, but no machine is at $600. It would be nice and light for the OP with more than enough power to handle all his needs, and it's a handsome machine too, that one can pull out in public, with a bit of pride. Maybe $600 is higher than what the OP wants to spend and we all know that we can get $300 laptops on special, that will do the job, but if 6 bills is in the budget, I think your Vizio suggestion is a bloody good one. |
I have a touchpad and a galaxy tab. I like being able to download bbc stuff via the vpn connection. Budget wise I would like to stick to about $500. I don't mind having to download the stuff from desktop and then putting on tablet but takes planning. Nice to be in another state and download through vpn server or watch iplayer and have something new for later that night or after conference or whatever. The touchpad plays back great but the power cord has gotten fiddly on me and it is a pita to hold in place while transferring files.

Shuhei Japanese Cuisine and Sushi Bar celebrates traditional preparation of Japanese cuisine, creating dishes with delicious style. With a broad range of Japanese fare, Shuhei's meals are made by skilled cooks from the highest quality ingredients. Shuhei is proud of its fresh sushi, flavorful sauces, and classic Japanese dishes. The atmosphere at Shuhei Japanese Cuisine and Sushi Bar is warm, relaxing, and inviting. With lunch and dinner menus and daily specials, a party room and catering, Shuhei is sure to meet your dining and event needs.
The broilers at Harry's Steakhouse sear perfectly straight lines into all of the eatery's daily, fresh chops, prepped by the in-house butcher. And before these steaks are aged and prepared, they're chosen from cattle that have been fed with corn their whole lives, as opposed to those with a habit of binging on fast food during their teenage years. Specialty steaks include the crowd favorite, 22 ounce bone-in Ribeye. Steaks can also be finished with sautéed mushrooms or onions or a skewer of grilled shrimp.
The staple of Sushi Rock's menu is its selection of roughly 50 sushi, sashimi, and maki rolls, which collect multiple Japanese flavors into one neat package. The Sushi Rock roll alone packs a punch of shrimp tempura, crabstick, salmon, tuna, asparagus, and masago. A slate of USDA Prime steaks and fresh seafood entrees such as sesame-seared tuna complement the sushi-bar creations. Each meticulously plated dish arrives in Sushi Rock's ultra-modern dining space, where backlit bottles glisten against a cityscape mural in the bar area, and color blocks of red and black pop in the dimly lit dining areas. Together, Sushi Rock's choice food and hip vibe earned it a No. 1 ranking on CityVoter's Best Sushi list in 2010.
At Austin's Wood Fire Grill, hand-carved hunks of filet mignon and swordfish sizzle over wood-fueled flames, soaking up a smoky aroma. The restaurant's refusal to use gas or the pages of paperback romance novels reflects a commitment to traditional, down-home cooking. This commitment also surfaces in their made-from-scratch breads, pan gravy sauce, and cognac cream sauce.
The flames dance atop the hibachi grill, reaching higher than the chef?s head. It is an impressive sight, to say the least, and one guests get to experience up close as chefs chop and flip chicken, steak, and shrimp right at the table. The hibachi master's creative efforts are rivaled only by the eatery?s sushi chefs, who tuck tuna, chili tobiko, and radish sprouts inside rolls shaped like caterpillars, turtles, and DNA strands.
Recently revitalized under new management, Triple Crown Restaurant stocks stomach arsenals with an array of steak and seafood menu items that explode in a shower of meticulously crafted flavors. Juicy Atlantic salmon dart lithely between reefs of Cajun seasonings jutting into a sea of garlic butter ($18.99). Sic steak knives and gourmand guard dogs on a sizzling Angus Reserve beef filet mignon ($28.99 for an 8 oz.; $32.99 for a 10 oz.), or delve into the vegetable lasagna's multilayered strata of garden-torn sustenance ($12.99). Culinary designers pad chicken oscar pillows with downy crab-meat stuffing before nestling cuisine cushions atop sheets of béarnaise sauce ($16.99) and this season's hottest china pattern.

Armed student kills two in Moscow school hostage crisis
Published on Feb 3, 2014 5:36 PM
MOSCOW (AFP) - An armed student entered a Moscow school on Monday and took more than 20 teenagers hostage, in an incident that also claimed the lives of a policeman and a teacher, security officials said.
The hostage-taker was one of the students of school number 263 on the northern outskirts of Moscow, police officials said.
A policeman and a biology teacher were killed in the hostage crisis, which sparked fresh security fears in Russia ahead of the start of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi this week.
He had held more than 20 teenage biology class students and the teacher hostage for about 30 minutes before the police moved in, news reports said.

Hi all. The CMSA (Cowboy Mounted Shooting Assn) just sent out this regulation update:
"Membership in the CMSA is a privilege and requires that those who compete in events meet all local, state and federal requirements to legally possess firearms for the purpose of such competition. Therefore it is the responsibility of all members to insure that they are legally able within the state or country that they are competing in to own and/or possess firearms. If the CMSA is notified by proper authorities of a member's inability to legally possess the firearms required to compete in CMSA sanctioned events that membership will immediately be suspended."
I realize that I need to find out the relevant state laws for 'transporting' my guns when competing, that's a given.
But this new reg brings up a few questions in my mind. I realize that few if any of you are members of the CMSA but was curious about your thoughts.
In the assn, 13 yr olds may compete. I dont think there are any states where 13 yr olds are allowed to own guns. So they would be borrowed or family guns.
I have borrowed guns to compete in the past. (Several people in my club still borrow guns as they are fairly expensive).
So while this new regulation says you cant "own or possess," it seems that someone could easily get around this by using someone else's guns...which is legal in the assn. Then I have to examine my thoughts on 'cheating' when at least initially, it seems unfair to restrict someone from competing. And yet, they are fully working firearms.
Are there laws that say felons and others not legally allowed to own guns cant shoot them? Can a convicted felon go to a range, rent a gun, and shoot?
So maybe this is just a CYA for the CMSA?

The Midwest Homeschool Convention
Posted by jlwile on April 4, 2011
Last weekend I spoke six times at the Midwest Homeschool Convention. It was an incredible conference. It definitely had the highest attendance of any conference at which I have spoken in the past couple of years. While there were a lot of people who were upset over the fact that Ken Ham had been disinvited from the conference, that didn't seem to affect the attendance in any significant way. There were a few people who were wearing white buttons that said "I stand with Ken Ham," but that was really the only visible effect of the controversy. For those who were upset at Mr. Ham's disinvitation, I thought the buttons were an appropriate way to demonstrate their displeasure. They did not demean anyone else, and they did not disrupt the convention, but they showed displeasure. My hat goes off to whoever came up with that idea!
As is typical, I spoke on two broad subjects – homeschooling and Christian apologetics. One of my homeschooling talks was on how to homeschool at the high school level, and another was on the data that show how homeschooled students compare to non-homeschooled students academically and socially. I also gave one of my favorite talks there – "Be Open Minded, but Don't Let Your Brain Fall Out." It stresses the need for people to investigate multiple positions and learn to think critically while doing that. My Christian apologetics talks focused on fulfilled prophecy, design in nature, and the historical reliability of the Bible.
Not surprisingly, I was asked a number of excellent questions during my talks, and I want to focus on two of them. One deals with the studies that have been done on homeschooled students, and the other deals with probability arguments in the creation/evolution debate.
In my talk about how homeschooled students compare academically and socially to their publicly- and privately-schooled peers, I show how homeschooled students truly excel academically. In general, the average homeschooled student is academically superior to the average privately-schooled student, who is (in turn) academically superior to the average publicly-schooled student. In addition, studies at the university level show that homeschool graduates are academically superior to their non-homeschooled peers. A questioner asked whether such comparisons are valid, given the fact that homeschooling parents are significantly more involved in their children's education than are parents who send their kids to school. Given that, do these studies really show that homeschooling is superior, or do they show that the parents' commitment to education is superior?
That is an excellent question, and it is one that any educational researcher must address when looking at such studies. Some of the studies don't do a good job of addressing this question, but others do. For example, one of the studies I cite compares homeschooled students to publicly-schooled students based on the parents' education level. Even for the students whose parents are not highly-educated, the homeschoolered students are still significantly superior from an academic standpoint. Since the education of the parent is correlated with the parent's commitment to their children's education, it seems to me that comparing students whose parents have similar levels of education also compares students whose parents have similar levels of commitment to education.
In addition, another study I cite compares homeschooled students who have always been homeschooled to those who were homeschooled for a while but then went back to school. Even in that comparison, after fifth grade, the always-homeschooled students are academically superior to the partly-homeschooled students. To me, this is another way of comparing children of parents with similar commitments to education. After all, they all started as homeschooling parents. Thus, they are at least similar in their commitment to education. Nevertheless, if their students stayed in homeschool, the students made more academic gains than those who were put back in school. Studies like these indicate to me that the academic superiority of homeschooled students is at least partly the result of the homeschool model itself.
The other question I want to review is on probability. In one of my design talks, I discuss how incredibly improbable it is to form even simple functional proteins by random chemical reactions. Given that a lot of complicated proteins are necessary for life, it is very hard to understand how such ridiculously improbable proteins could have all formed by any naturalistic process so as to produce life. A questioner pointed out that ridiculously improbable things happen all the time. For example, if you calculated the probability that exactly the people who attended my talk would show up to any given talk, the odds would be astronomically low. Nevertheless, here they all were. Doesn't this show that low probabilities aren't a good argument against evolution?
The answer, of course, is "no." The problem with this line of thinking is that it ignores functionality. My talk would go on regardless of who showed up. Since any audience would result in a talk being given, the probability of a talk being given is 100%. However, if a protein is not functional, the life process it governs can't occur. Thus, the probability of life processes occurring is dependent totally on how many possible proteins could be made and what percentage of those would actually be functional. Considering all the possible proteins that can be made from the 20 amino acids found in life, the percentage of ones that are actually functional and can promote life is absurdly small. Thus, the probability of life forming naturalistically is also absurdly low.

Glad you had a great time at the conference! I'd love to sit in on one of your talks again. Maybe we'll be at one of the same conferences this summer. I appreciate your continued support of homeschoolers!! You are a blessing to many!
That's a very good explanation of the improbability of a naturalistic start to life – thanks for sharing it.
In regards to the attendance convention, what will truly the be the test, I think, is attendance at this same convention next year (if Ham/AiG remain "disinvited"). The controversy broke just a couple weeks before the convention, and GHC would not refund registration fees for attendees or for vendors; thus, many probably felt they should attend or risk being poor stewards of money already spent.
My opinion is that, if the situation remains as it is now (i.e., if it's not mediated, and if Ham/AiG don't return), attendance will be much lower at all GHC conventions next year. Of course, that would mean much lower sales for vendors and so I would guess their attendance will plummet in two years (when they realize it's not a good investment of their time and resources). We, of course, might have had an earlier indication of the true fallout from this situation at the PA convention that was scheduled for June, but now that that has been cancelled, we'll have to wait until next year to really gauge people's feelings.
This is just supposition, of course, but it certainly wouldn't be wise for GHC to assume they've dodged the bullet(s).
Do you have any idea of the actual probabilities involved? Both for the original absiogenesis occurring, and for of life evolving?
I suppose that one could argue that life evolving as it has is more like your audience coming together with the people it did, and the chance of life just evolving is generally much higher.
I have read somewhere that it was worse than the square of the typically scientifically considered "impossible" probability, but I have no idea how they got to that figure.I am as always impressed and skeptical, of these research papers on HS as it is so hard to take out confounding factors. One thing that would be interesting to see is how a parent-educated student compares to a tutor-educated student. Due to my background I know for example that some people consider it their ministry to go onto a mission field and educate the senior missionary's children, releasing the parents to work full time for God's kingdom. I don't know whether that happens at all in more "standard" environments, but it would make for an interesting analysis of how important a parent's input is.
"The probability of life forming naturalistically is also absurdly low" How about the probability of life evolving supernaturally? Seems to me in your view that could be pretty high. Sort of like say, Michael Behe thinks.
What think you of Susan Wise's assessment of home-schooled individuals: http://www.welltrainedmind.com/preparing-for-college/what-not-to-look-for-in-an-academic-department/
Especially poignant is the part that reads:
"I myself have had a very frustrating time teaching students who come into William & Mary primed to resist the lies of "liberal faculty." (That includes a lot of home educated students, who register for for my classes because they think I'm safe.) Every time I say something that strikes them as possibly "liberal," all of their defenses go up and they tune me out. I can't play devil's advocate or dialogue with them–they immediately put me on the list of untrustworthy professors and stop listening.
And at that point they become unteachable.
I'm often asked how home educated students stack up against others in my classes. My overwhelming impression is that they're more fragile. They've got little resilience; I can't push at their presuppositions even a little bit. Maybe they're afraid those presuppositions will shatter."
While I do think I was academically readied (especially in mathematics and logical areas… which ironically helped later to discern that what I had been taught about Earth's age and evolution were incorrect) wonderfully as a home-schooled individual, there were certain areas, like those Dr. Wise mentions, that could have been better. Of course it can always be "better", right? :o)
Don't know how I made that smile face thing at the end there! Haha!
Curious…what was your perspective and major topics under historical reliability of the Bible?
It would be worth checking out Rothman, Stanley; Lichter, S. Robert; and Nevitte, Neil (2005) "Politics and Professional Advancement Among College Faculty", The Forum 3(1) Article 2.
DOI: 10.2202/1540-8884.1067This article first examines the ideological composition of American university faculty and then tests whether ideological homogeneity has become self-reinforcing. A randomly based national survey of 1643 faculty members from 183 four-year colleges and universities finds that liberals and Democrats outnumber conservatives and Republicans by large margins, and the differences are not limited to elite universities or to the social sciences and humanities. A multivariate analysis finds that, even after taking into account the effects of professional accomplishment, along with many other individual characteristics, conservatives and Republicans teach at lower quality schools than do liberals and Democrats. This suggests that complaints of ideologically-based discrimination in academic advancement deserve serious consideration and further study. The analysis finds similar effects based on gender and religiosity, i.e., women and practicing Christians teach at lower quality schools than their professional accomplishments would predict.
It's small wonder that security needs to be organized for visiting conservative speakers like David Horowitz and Ann Coulter, but never for radical liberals (many of whom are invited by the university itself), because conservatives don't generally try to shout down the opposition. The existence of "speech codes" and a number of court-cases about viewpoint discrimination suggest that the homeschooling parents' concern about liberal indoctrination is not so far-fetched. Remember Ruth Malhotra and Orit Sklar v Georgia Tech?
A sufficient number of "isolated incidents" add up to a pattern ….
Oh, definitely.
Part of critical thinking skills means working out the world view that the lecturer is coming from. I think that the best book for that is The Vision of the Anointed by Dr Thomas Sowell, a former university economics professor himself.
The Anointed vision, held by the Left, thus most university faculty, sees man as basically perfectible, providing that the Right People were to run society tightly, and remake people in their image. Such people talk loftily about goals and intentions, and tend to ignore the results as long as the intentions are good (forgetting what a certain road is paved with).
Sowell contrasts this with the 'Tragic vision', which is basically conservative libertarianism, which recognizes that the world is not perfectible, and that man is flawed. That is, greed, selfishness and limited knowledge are the lot of all humans. Thus no one can be trusted with too much power. Sowell doesn't mention the biblical Fall, but his book still explains what we would expect if this is true.
Sowell always advises asking, "compared to what?" OK, sometimes the homeschoolers might go overboard in seeing liberal bias where there is none. But compare this to the average state-schooled kid from a Christian home when he reaches university, who readily swallows the indoctrination of the leftist professor, who might even brag, "And then they are all mine."
Finally, Sowell points out that "diversity" in a uni faculty means it comprises white leftists, black leftists, Asian leftists, female leftists, and maybe gay leftists, i.e. no intellectual diversity. If a uni faculty ever brags about its diversity, Sowell advises asking, "How many Republicans does it contain?"

It is not as if Ken Ham and AiG are the only representatives of the young-earth position. I presented the biblical and scientific evidence for a young earth, and I am after all the author of Refuting Compromise, of which Ken Ham said:
Well, I believe, personally, that your book, Refuting Compromise, is a classic on the same scale as The Genesis Flood. … I personally believe it'll go down in history as a turning point in the creationist ministry worldwide. I see it as that important. I see it as that definitive. … I really see it as a modern creationist classic. And I really believe that every single person needs a copy of this book to show the positive aspects, that we can defend, logically, the book of Genesis, and that God's word is authoritative right from the very beginning, and we can confront compromise, like Progressive Creationism … (AnswersLIVE, Refuting Compromise, live broadcast 27 April 2004)
So by my speaking there, there was actually an opportunity to pick up a book that Ken Ham recommended, and in a brand new edition hot off the press.
Just wanted to say thanks for teaching at the Cincy convention this past weekend. My 14yo daughter attended a few of your sessions–this was the first time she had heard you teach. She enjoyed your teaching and was especially impressed with your session on open-mindedness.
Dr. Wile,
I have sat here and wondered how to say what I'm going to say…kindly. I will do my best to be honest and sincere, without disparaging others.
The reason I appreciate you and your blog is that you are kind, and respectful. You offer your views with humility. You are not arrogant. You do not seem to want to manipulate students to your viewpoint by means of fear. You are able to see that it is fully possible for people to disagree, but still LIKE each other, and still get along. Thank you for that. So many teachers and leaders within the homeschooling community do not have that humility – even some very educated men who comment here on your site do not know how to write with humility.
I wonder when arrogance and dogmatism became a hallmark of a homeschooler? It wasn't so apparent when I began homeschooling my 9 children 14 years ago.
Regarding teaching our young people critical thinking and the examination of viewpoints other than our own – I think this is such an important concept to put into practice. Yes, it is scary to be a parent and even open up the door to different viewpoints. There have been times I have thought, "Oh, why have I done this? Will I cause my kids to go astray?" Four of my children are teenagers – so I am right in the middle of this.
But I don't believe that my children will stay at home forever. I expect most of them, boys and girls, will want to go to college. (One is already a freshman, one will take dual credit courses this fall…) They are bright, well-educated young people – they are excited to learn more and study more about how our world works. It would be naive for me to think that they will never encounter differing viewpoints. I'd rather that they begin to learn now, to lay things out, to examine them, while they are in the teen years at home. This way, they can turn things over in their minds, think things thru critically, talk to their Dad and me about them, not be afraid of learning, to learn that they "can" handle the examination of other viewpoints and still retain their core beliefs. I don't want my children to learn to "refute" other people, I don't want them to be the angry homeschooler in the class – I want them to be joyfully secure and confident, not afraid. I don't want them to be fragile. I don't want them to be brainwashed (by me) – I want them to be critical thinkers, to learn to think for themselves. That is how they will become fully mature, ready to enter society, want them to partake fully as representatives of Jesus Christ in whatever sphere God places them in…and that's why I think it is worth doing the hard work now with them. It's not easy, it's not painless. It takes a LOT of time talking with them, listening, explaining (when I'd rather be doing my own thing.) But I think that if I want their faith to be their own, this is the way it must be done. And so far, the oldest ones have strong, vital relationships with the Lord, and, they know how to handle other viewpoints. We are not afraid to send them out.
Sorry for the long windedness – in a way, it was good for me to articulate my viewpoints. I hope that it encourages some other parents.
Sorry for the grammatical error – I do wish I could edit comments.
Dr. Wile,
In your talk at the Cincinnati convention, you gave a quote by St. Thomas Aquinas "A faith not tested by doubt is no faith at all". I appreciated you pointing out that we should be very careful to check references. Since we've been studying a bit about Aquinas, we decided to look it up to see what context it was said in. His works are widely published, but we can't find anything like that being said by him. Can you provide the source for the quote? -
Thanks for the history info. I also think that the Bible should be taught as a historical, as well as religious, document. I thought you might somehow have a physical science slant to the topic!
Regarding the fragile homeschool students topic…My college senior son appreciates a good discussion with someone who can defend his views, even if those views are different from his. He is a truth seeker. However, he has encountered many liberal-minded students, who don't know why they support what they support and who get defensive and mad when he points out problems with their views. Maybe, when a liberal perspective is presented in class, the homeschool student seems fragile, but the liberal student is fine, because his views aren't being challenged.
jlwile says: "The point is that regardless of how you are educated, you should be taught to be open to examining ideas that are different from your own."
I went to a public school and Christian University that taught evolution as the only correct theory and I accepted it as true. In recent years because of Creation Scientists I have been challenged and have changed those views to Creationism.
I find it funny that when one Christian dares to challenge a Liberal Theologian or Evolutionary Scientist,then they, the one person who stands against the publicly financed schools and government universities monopolies are narrow and fragile.
I say it is quite the opposite.
The PBS station we watch, the museums we visit, the DVDs in the public libraries, the dinosaur books in public libraries, the dinosaur books in the public book stores only support Evolution and yet we are closed minded and will not listen an opposing view when we have supported these things through taxes and museum fees.
My question to you Dr Wile, when is an opposing view ever offered other than a Homeschool Convention?
Dr Wile said, Indeed, since I believe young-earth creationists are on the right side of the issue, I have no problem with the evolutionist view being given – because there is really little to fear from it.
I agree with this statement. It is not fear but frustration that I feel. I have not had the opportunity to listen to young earth lectures at public or private College, Universities or Churches that I have known about or attended. I would be thrilled to get a chance.
First, I want you to know how blessed we are by your high school science curriculum. My husband is a family practice physician, so has been through countless science classes in his own education, and has so appreciated and respected your curriculum as coming from an entirely different perspective. He has been so very thankful to have it for teaching our children.
The main purpose for this post is that I would like to address the comments made by Dr. Susan Wise Bauer with which you said, Dr. Wile, that you mostly agreed.
I have been homeschooling our 6 children for 14 years now, so I have been around many homeschooling young people. However, I was raised in a family of public school educators: my mom and grandmother teachers, my father a school district superintendent and my sister is currently a public school teacher. I myself was educated in public schools and have a masters degree.
I need to say that I have never run into such critically-thinking, culture-challenging people as homeschooled high schoolers and college students who were once homeschooled. In fact, despite my degrees, I have never been so challenged to think through my own presuppositions and beliefs as I have by these students, including my own, who regularly challenge me with well thought-out logic, strong speech and debate skills, and a determination not to go along with the cultural status quo. In addition, my family members, who at first were very concerned about my family's decision to homeschool, seem often quite astounded at the knowledge base and thinking abilities of my children and other homeschoolers.
Could it be that the students in Dr. Wise Bauer's classes who are not homeschooled just go along with what she is teaching, while those who are homeschooled challenge her beliefs? And then she interprets that as close-minded and fragile? I'm aware that there certainly are students who may, for the first time in a first-hand sort of way, become anxious when being presented with perspectives and lines of thinking with which they disagree. However, could it be that they then challenge her thinking and then she becomes aware of their disagreement? Doesn't it say something that they are willing to speak up? Could it be that her perspective that they "stop listening" is just how she has interpreted the fact that they are disagreeing with her?
I obviously am just theorizing, and certainly we all have varying experiences and different interpretations of them. However, I was astounded not only to see homeschoolers painted in such a light, but also to see that you agreed with Dr. Wise Bauer's comments, when my experience has been quite the opposite.
Dr Wile,
Re: "The point is that regardless of how you are educated, you should be taught to be open to examining ideas that are different from your own."
I hope you're saying that we should be critically examining extraBiblical truth claims in light of God's revealed Word. I certainly hope you are not saying we should be open to the idea of evolution and millions of years, because that would mean we would have to be open to the idea that Biblical [Young Earth] Creationism is wrong. And the Bible says to train up a child in the way he SHOULD go. Just sayin'.
Rev Tony Breeden
DefendingGenesis.orgPS Do you have plans to publish anything new in the near future?
Dr Wile,
Actually, Biblical [Young Earth] Creationism is a rather straight-forward reading of the text; it's the extraBiblical Creationist varieties [eg, Old earth Creationism, Progressive Creationism, etc] who try to interpret the passage to suit modern notions.
I'll just admit that I find all of this talk of a plurality of possible interpretations to be garbage. As Christians, we're built on Christ and the Apostles, so we're supposed to continue in the tradition of apostolic doctrine. Jesus and the NT authors treated Genesis as literal history and were all plainly young earth. It kills me that there's even a debate. I understand that well-meaning Christians want to somehow make the Biblical revelation and the modern scientific notions mesh, but they always do so by re-interpreting the Bible and almost never by questioning the naturalistic presuppositions of evolutionary and uniformitarian beliefs.
I hope you get a publisher for your science course. I tried using your Apologia science texts for my kids, but I had to do quite a bit to make it applicable to their lower grade level. It's clearly meant for middle school and above.
Dr. Wile,
I read the two studies you cite, and I think a correction is in order:
You say: "Even for the students whose parents are highly-educated, the homeschoolered students are still significantly superior from an academic standpoint." But I think you mean: Even for the students whose parents are NOT highly-educated, the homeschoolered students are still significantly superior from an academic standpoint.
Am I right?

Based on true events from Korean history, and smartly crafted by writer-director Kim Han-min into a thrilling action film, The Admiral has something of the feel of old Saturday-matinee serials. In a prologue that plays out under the opening credits, disgraced admiral Yi Sun-shin (Choi Min-sik) is relieved of military duty and then tortured under orders from the king for reasons not yet made clear. By the time the film proper kicks in, Sun-shin has been summoned to lead a fleet of 12 ships against Japan's encroaching fleet of 300. Given orders to surrender, he instead crafts an ingenious defense plan that -- if successful -- would be a classic David vs. Goliath victory. Fast-paced and gorgeously shot in rich, lush colors, the film is filled with lavish costumes, a bombastic score that fits the material, expertly staged battle scenes, and fine acting from the ensemble cast. Lest anyone be unclear who the villains are, the Japanese characters largely speak in husky snarls.
There's a nice bit of character study in the mix, mapped out through both power-plays and fractious infighting on both sides, as well as unabashedly sentimental domestic moments between husbands and wives, fathers and sons. One glitch in this otherwise pitch-perfect film is the occasional lapse into contemporary vernacular by whoever translated the English subtitles -- unless, of course, the phrase "I'm the shit" is actually authentic to Korea circa 1597.

The percentage of Americans who have served in the military since Sept. 11, 2001, is much lower than in previous decades, despite the involvement of the U.S. in two wars since that date. The majority of service members have parents who served, leading some experts and military leaders to warn that large segments of the population have very little exposure to the military and the effects of war.

Intense, with loads of black fruit and oaky character. Full-bodied, with fine, compact tannins and a long finish. Refined and delicious. I always love this Barbera. Best after 2005. 500 cases made. From Piedmont, Italy. —James Suckling
A big, rich kabinett, this is packed with floral, cream, vanilla and apricot notes, all displayed on an open, yet dense profile. More like a big spätlese or auslese, but delicious and lingering, with a citrus aftertaste. Drink now through 2010. From Germ —Bruce Sanderson
A beauty. Ripe and fleshy, yet harmonious and dense, this Riesling evokes floral, peach and nectarine notes on a vibrant structure. Fine length and mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2010. From Germany. —Bruce Sanderson
Reticent aromas, with apricot, cream and citrus flavors, very concentrated, yet compact in style. It turns pinched on the finish, but has length and intensity. Give it some time. Best from 2006 through 2013. 900 cases made. From Germany. —Bruce Sanderson
Focused and open, this shows lively acidity boosting its tropical fruit and candied lime flavors. Enticing, this has a natural harmony and terrific length. Drink now through 2010. 1,500 cases made. From Germany. —Bruce Sanderson

Thrane & Thrane's compact Aviator 200 in-flight connectivity system with built-in wi-fi capability has received three supplemental type certificates on a range of smaller aircraft.
The Aviator 200 system uses Inmarsat's L-band satellite-based SwiftBroadband SB200 service, which offers up to 200Kbps "always-on" IP connection and a simultaneous low-cost, high-quality voice channel.
It has received STCs for use aboard the Beechcraft King Air 200; Cessna 500, 550, S550, 552, 560, and 560XL; and Citation 525/525A (CJ1/CJ2). It is the only SB200-supported system to have received STC approval to date, according to Virginia-based Thrane & Thrane.
"The Aviator 200 offers a range of exciting capabilities, particularly to smaller aircraft. With business jet travellers frequently required to stay connected while on the move, the Aviator 200 offers the ideal solution, enabling executives to send emails and make calls so they can stay on top of business during the flight," said Kim Gram, vice-president of Thrane & Thrane's aeronautical business unit. Other certifications are in progress, said Gram.
Thrane & Thrane's suite of Aviator systems support the use of SwiftBroadband service aboard a wide range of aircraft. The portfolio includes the Aviator 700 and Aviator 350 high-gain antenna options, Aviator 300 with intermediate-gain antenna as well as the lightweight Aviator 200 low-gain antenna.

Ty Lawson's game-winning jumper leads the Denver Nuggets past the Oklahoma City Thunder 105-103
Nuggets won last 10 straight home games
DENVER - Wilson Chandler tied his career high with 35 points and Ty Lawson's jumper with 0.2 seconds left lifted the Denver Nuggets to a 105-103 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night.
Guarded tightly by Thabo Sefolosha, Lawson swished his jumper from just inside the 3-point arc on the right wing. With no time to catch and shoot, the Thunder failed to get off a final tip attempt after their timeout.
Kevin Durant had tied it with a driving bank shot with 17.6 seconds remaining. Andre Miller inbounded to Lawson, who never gave up the ball.
With the win, the Nuggets move into 1 1/2 games behind the Memphis Grizzlies for the 4 seed in the Western Conference standings.
