By Ryan Mauro:
The Clarion Project has received White House documents that show that President Bush was scheduled to meet with Islamists linked to the Muslim Brotherhood on September 11, 2001. In a remarkably ironic turn of events, it was Islamist terrorism that stopped the meeting with Islamist radicals at the White House from happening.
The never-before-published documents substantiate the assertions that the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood gained access to the highest levels of the Bush Administration and the Republican Party, partly due to the help of Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. The files help tell a shocking story of an Islamist political influence operation that reached the highest levels of the U.S. government.
The Center for Security Policy has a meticulously documented dossier on the topic, including first-hand testimony from the think-tank's president. The Clarion Project has also told the story, including the history of Norquist's Islamic Free Market Institute and its links to Islamists including the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood.
The White House documents show that President George W. Bush was scheduled to meet with U.S.-based Islamists on September 11, 2001 after a previous meeting on March 5 was cancelled.
Bush and Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham would meet privately with a select group of six Muslim and Arab "supporters" at 3:05 PM in the White House Oval Office, including two officials from Norquist's Islamic Free Market Institute. Every single one of those six has strong connections to the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood.
This would be followed by a larger meeting with 16 activists who are described as representatives of the top 12 Muslim and Arab organizations, including four created by the Muslim Brotherhood. Also in attendance would have been 7 additional White House officials; three of which have served as officials with Norquist's Islamic Free Market Institute.
We will examine the activists with this treasured high-level access in a moment. The purpose of the scheduled meetings with President Bush on 9/11 must first be understood to appreciate their significance.
Islamist Engagement with the GOP and Bush Campaign
The topics to be addressed in this meeting and with the larger group were classified evidence, racial profiling and the Middle East conflict. The agenda also emphasized that Muslims and Arabs are victimized by negative stereotypes, showing that the Islamists' "Islamophobia" strategy was well underway before the 9/11 attacks.
The reference to "classified evidence" is important to be put into context.
Sami Al-Arian and the Islamist lobby successfully pressured the Bush presidential campaign and the Republican party into opposing the Clinton Administration's use of classified evidence to detain immigrants on national security grounds. Al-Arian was later convicted of being a secret Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist operative. The practice was responsible for the detainment of Al-Arian's brother-in-law and fellow Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative, Mazen al-Najjar.
Al-Arian was described as a "master manipulator" by the judge during his trial. The indictment of Al-Arian says he and his co-conspirators "did seek to obtain support from influential individuals, in the United States under the guise of promoting and protecting Arab rights."
A document in his possession shows he ordered colleagues to "collect information from those relatives and friends who work in sensitive positions in government."
Al-Arian's operation, by his own admission, was essentially one with the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity whose offices were raided in 2002 as part of a terrorism investigation. He later refused to testify to a grand jury investigating the group.
[Also see: IIIT: The Muslim Brotherhood's Think Tank by Kyle Shideler]
The FBI was warned in 1987 by an informant in the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood that IIIT was secretly working through "political action front groups" and planned "to peacefully get inside the United States government and also American universities." According to former IIIT member Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, the group decided that accusations of "Islamophobia" would be thrown at opponents standing in their way.
IIIT is linked to the Islamic Free Market Institute founded by Grover Norquist. The St. Petersburg Times observed that "more than 50 targets of the raid were people and organizations connected to Norquist and the Islamic Institute."
Al-Arian honored prominent Republicans including Norquist for joining his political causes including a ban on the classified evidence practice. Al-Arian repeatedly met with Norquist's group, had a photo-op with then-Governor Bush during the 2000 presidential campaign and visited the White House.
The other key player was Abdurrahman Alamoudi, founder and board member of the American Muslim Council (AMC) that also lobbied heavily for Al-Arian's cause. Alamoudi was later convicted on terrorism-related charges and was specifically linked to a Libyan regime plot to assassinate the king of Saudi Arabia.
AMC was part of a coalition named the American Muslim Political Coordination Council-Political Action Committee that endorsed Bush's candidacy. The coalition said Bush "promised to address Muslim concerns on domestic and foreign policy issues." It said one of the major reasons for the endorsement was the "accessibility" they had and his adoption of their position on the secret evidence issue.
The Bush presidential campaign returned a $1,000 donation from Alamoudi after he was videotaped declaring his support for the Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist groups. He later wrote in a letter from prison that was featured in the Grand Deception documentary that, "I am, I hope, still a member of the Muslim Brotherhood organization in the U.S.A."
You can read more about the story of Islamist-GOP engagement and the Islamic Free Market Institute during this period here.
Bush's First Meeting with Six "Supporters"
The Bush Administration documents do not specify what qualified the six attendees at the 3:05 meeting as "supporters" but presumably it was their work for the presidential campaign. The Islamist Money in Politics project shows that the Islamist lobby financially favored the Bush candidacy in 2000.
The Bush White House documents obtained by the Clarion Projectare shocking in how they display the historical irony of President Bush's scheduled meeting with terrorist-allied Islamists on 9/11 of all days, but there are equally-shocking broader conclusions to be made.
The episode is reflective of a successful Islamist political influence operation and a seriously flawed vetting process that continues until present, with the Islamists at President Obama's Countering Violent Extremism Summit and the choice of Muslim Brotherhood promoter Mohamed Elibiary as a senior Department of Homeland Security advisor serving as two examples.
The conclusion should not be that everyone involved is a secret Islamist conspirator or terrorist. It's that skillful Islamists use relationships with persons of influence in both parties to promote themselves, advance their causes and impact policy.
On the Glenn Beck Show on March 26, Norquist said he formed the Institute to promote a progressive reformation in Islam that is more pro-American and against Sharia governance. Yet, it worked closely with the Islamists who are the exact opposite of that.
Norquist said he probably didn't even know what the Muslim Brotherhood was at the time. It's very hard to believe that anyone involved in Islamic issues would be ignorant of that very basic fact. The Islamism of many of Norquist's partners was already public knowledge then and was almost definitely expressed in their private dealings.
If Norquist was ignorant then, he certainly he is not now. Unknowing partners of these Islamists should renounce them and detail their dealings so as to prevent them in the future. They should thank those who exposed them and make up for their errors by embracing Muslim activists who stand against Islamism.
To this day, Norquist has not expressed regret about working with the Islamists. He has not even conceded that their histories are unsettling. He acts as if the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood doesn't even exist and ridicules those who say it does.
There is a bi-partisan problem when it comes to mistaking Islamists for "moderates." The fight against Islamic extremism requires that those who made such mistakes wake up and act to correct their errors by challenging Islamism.
The treatment of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists as treasured "moderates" must come to an end.

PITTSBURGH -- Evgeni Malkin is about to become a Pittsburgh Penguins player.
Malkin has spent three weeks training in the Los Angeles area but is expected to sign with the Penguins on Tuesday -- two days before the start of rookie training camp.
Malkin's agents said last week they would open contract talks early this week, and the Penguins are planning a news conference Tuesday to announce the signing.
Malkin, the No. 2 pick in the 2004 draft, sneaked away from his Russian pro team last month in Finland so he could make a clandestine trip to the United States and begin preparing for his first NHL season.
Malkin's contract terms are effectively set by the NHL labor agreement, so he is expected to sign a deal identical to that reached by last season's rookie of the year, Alexander Ovechkin.
Ovechkin, drafted immediately ahead of Malkin, has a base salary of $984,2000, plus incentives worth $2.85 million per season. Ovechkin's contract includes $850,000 in relatively easy-to-reach incentives and another $2 million in additional bonuses such as winning a major league award.
Pat Brisson, one of Malkin's agents, said the negotiations would take "only a few minutes" because Malkin's deal would duplicate Ovechkin's.
Malkin, then 19, stayed with his hometown Metallurg Magnitogorsk team in the Russian Super League last season because there was no transfer agreement compensating Russian teams who lost players to the NHL.
When a proposed transfer deal fell through again this year, Malkin said he was pressured into signing a one-year contract with his Russian team. But after he bolted from the club on Aug. 12 in Helsinki, Malkin's agents faxed a letter of resignation to the Russian team.
Under Russian law, an employee can quit his job by giving two weeks' notice, even if he is under contract.
That two-week period expired more than a week ago, and Malkin's agents have been advised by lawyers they were free to negotiate an NHL contract for him. The Metallurg team has threatened a lawsuit seeking compensation if Malkin plays for the Penguins.
Ovechkin's former Russian team also sued after losing its star, but the case was thrown out of a U.S. District Court that cited a lack of jurisdiction in the matter.
Adding Malkin would be a major upgrade for the Penguins, who have finished last in the Atlantic Division for four consecutive seasons. Malkin could team with 19-year-old Sidney Crosby to give them what figures to be one of the best 1-2 center combinations in the NHL.
Malkin, often called the best player in the world not currently in the NHL, had two goals and six points for Russia during the Torino Olympics in February. He led the Metallurg team with 47 points, including 21 goals, in 46 games last season.
Malkin's parents, who remained behind in Magnitogorsk, told the Russian newspaper Zhizn last week they may have to relocate to another city because of harassment received following their son's departure.

I've been playing with both Co-Authors Plus and I'm stuck trying to get the display behavior I want.
I'm using the plugin for guest author profiles, not to have multiple authors on posts, and what I'd like is for the author boxes to ONLY appear on posts by guest authors, not by full users (meaning I'm not linking profiles to accounts when they both exist).
the Genesis Co-Authors Plus plugin hasn't helped, it makes the author box display for everyone, and there doesn't seem to be a way to enable author box use in the guest author profile settings.
Is there a way to do this in Co-Authors Plus, or would that need to be done using Genesis Co-Authors Plus instead?

• We report our experience with 1,000 consecutive abdominal wound closures using continuous monofilament polypropylene (Prolene) sutures. Wound dehiscence occurred in four patients (0.4%), and incisional hernia occurred in seven patients (0.7%). The incidence of persistent suture sinus was less than 1%. A comparison of these results with the reported data showed that this method was at least equal to other types of wound closure. While the polypropylene suture is more difficult to handle than traditional sutures, it is probably the preferred suture for contaminated and dirty wounds. It has eliminated the need for retention sutures in our practice, and its use as a continuous, running closure has offered the advantage over the usual interrupted technique of being simpler, faster, and more cost effective. Sepsis has continued to be the greatest cause of failure of abdominal wounds to heal.

Nancy Reagan hospitalized with broken pelvis
Published: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 at 1:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 at 3:59 p.m.
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Nancy Reagan suffered a broken pelvis in a fall at her home and will be hospitalized for several days, her spokeswoman said Wednesday.
The 87-year-old former first lady fell last week, spokeswoman Joanne Drake said. She did not seek immediate medical care but decided Monday to get checked out because of persistent pain, Drake said.
Doctors at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center determined she had a fractured pelvis and sacrum, the triangular bone at the base of the spinal column.
"She's in some pain but in very good spirits," Drake said.
Mrs. Reagan was undergoing physical therapy but surgery won't be required, Drake said. She will be hospitalized "for a few days until doctors are satisfied with her progress and then return home," Drake said in a statement.
Recovery is expected within six to eight weeks, she said.
Mrs. Reagan apparently got up in middle of the night and fell after twisting on her leg at her home in Bel-Air.
She was hospitalized three days in February after a similar fall at the hillside home she shared with President Reagan after their White House years. It was initially feared Mrs. Reagan broke her hip in that fall, but tests determined there was no fracture.
Reagan died June 5, 2004, after a 10-year battle with Alzheimer's disease.

I've never had to deal with a parking situation at school since I do not have a car with me on campus.
Last semester spots were abundant and this semester depends on the day
I park on the street because the campus parking is so expensive and i usually walk far.
Because it is so close to the city, there are very few spots and to keep a car here you will have to purchase a permit for one of the school's parking structures, which are very very expensive.
Loyola has a parking garage, but if you live on-campus it is almost completely unnecessary to have a car.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Although some students inexplicably seem to have luck finding parking, it is advisable to take the advice of the great majority who do not. Parking in Chicago is a colossal undertaking worthy of an epic movie starring Al Pacino. If you find a spot, odds are, it will be nowhere near where you were trying to go. Sometimes it seems like it would be actually faster to walk places than to drive there and find parking. Campus lots fill up quickly. Street spots are scarce at best. Most students live close enough to campus that they do not need a car for their commute. Even if this was not so, Chicago's public transportation system can take you anywhere you want to go. If you need more reasons not to bring a car, think of today's poor emission standards and their effects on the environment.
With constant parking problems in mind along with the high price of gas within the city, and don't forget emission standards, it becomes clear that having a car on campus is more of an encumbrance than a luxury. Unless you absolutely need a car for some unfathomable reason, just leave it at home. Plus, everybody knows some fool who didn't take my advice and brought his '93 Taurus to school. Clunk around town in that instead, and save yourself a load of time, exasperation, and money.

Customers and partners occasionally reach out for help locating information and data to support their efforts to assess product technology and market opportunity. There's really no secret formula for how to go about collecting this information and often times we rely on the same resources that the general public has access to. One of the benefits to us in seeking out externally available resources is that it affords us the comfort of knowing that this content is approved for public consumption.
Here's a simple guideline to consider when doing research on Microsoft products and technologies. We'll use Windows 7, Silverlight and Azure as topic examples:
Blogs.MSDN.com is rich with information about our application developer product technologies. Blogs.technet.com is an excellent resource to search for IT specific help.
Each of us at Microsoft discover information relevant to our roles and responsibilities in a wide variety of ways. We have product and marketing team contacts, we are generally members of role specific virtual teams, and we also subscribe to internal discussion groups of interest. When we discover information of particular importance to our role and to our customers and partners, we often blog about it. Thus, our blogs become a treasure trove of information to help you discover the information you are looking for.
It's almost standard practice for Microsoft to record and post most sessions delivered at our marquee events. Though I believe there is no substitute for attending these events in person to focus your attention on learning and to afford yourself the opportunity to network with peers and product group members, I find our event websites to be an extremely useful resource in the days and months that follow.
Here's a nice collection of web sites with great information to support your research needs:
Not Yet Announced
To broaden your search just Bing It! For example, if I do a Bing search on "Why [insert product technology here]?" you get quite a few hits. Here are a couple of simple examples.
Here's another example of Binging on "Silverlight Adoption" and one of the hits directed me to this blog entry on http://blogs.msdn.com:
So, if you find yourself tasked with researching Microsoft product technologies, market opportunities and business value messaging, think back to this strategy. It will go a long way to help expedite your work. It's the path many of us often take.
If you have other guidelines you'd like to share, send them our way and we'll incorporate them into this posting.

Properties of Base Materials Used for the Manufacture of Magnetic Recording Tape
Manufacturers of base materials have recognized the importance of the magnetic recording industry and now manufacture variations of their standard sheeting products designed especially for our industry. In acetate base, the manufacturer has two choices-triacetate or Diacetate. These will be compared, and data on an experimental type of triacetate base (designed to improve winding characteristics at high speeds) will be given. Similar changes in the properties of Mylar influence its use.

Health & Parenting
Jennie Garth's Balancing Act
What's the best parenting advice you have ever received or given?
Some good advice I've received is to get down on the floor and play with the kids. They love when you let the sink fill up with dishes and don't seem to care. I would say that reading to your kids every night is very important. It really makes a difference in their love for reading later on. So, turn off the TV and grab a book.
What beauty secret do you have for looking so young?
I take really good care of my skin and never go to bed with makeup on. Ever!
How do you avoid the temptation of the craft-service table while shooting long days and nights?
Sometimes you just have to have a Twix or a bag of Fritos to get you through the day/night. But, I bring my own nuts and celery to work to help me stay away from the sugar.
What's your best health habit?
My best health habit would be to not have habits -- like smoking or drinking! As you hopefully know, those things will kill you, or if not, make you look way older than you are.
What's your worst?
My worst health habit is sugar, no doubt.
What's your guilty-pleasure food?
Cupcakes or fried tortillas.
What's your personal formula for balancing work, family, and personal time?
Balancing everything in a woman's busy life is really hard. You have to make sure you are giving everyone their needed time and attention, and then remember to give yourself some. We have a family calendar on our kitchen computer. It gets a work out! We also are blessed to have a wonderful nanny who has been with us for 16 years. She is the only one we trust with our babies. She helps me so much. And Peter is incredibly helpful and such a wonderful father and husband.
How did you get into fighting shape for dancing round the clock on Dancing with The Stars?
I went into dancing with no cardiovascular strength and 10 extra pounds. Getting in great shape was one of the reasons I wanted to do the show. Soon we started dancing eight hours a day, and I couldn't get enough food. It was awesome.
Thank you for submitting your response.

How much water does an Aprilaire consume?
How accurate is the infinity thermostat when it comes to the humidity level in a house. Have you found them out of calibration?

While there seems to be a consensus for keeping the fan on low all the time in the winter, what about during the summer months?

So a 100,000 btu furnace in the low mode would essentialy be a 53,000 BTU unit. Is this correct? I suspect this would also cut down on static pressure issues as well. thanks
Would a 100,000 BTU furance that is two speed help with short cycling when compared with a one speed furnace? If so, would the difference be significant? Thanks
Can you tell me how to get to the set up-accessories. Thanks
Thanks. How do i get to the set up/installers menu? After that I'm ok.
How do you set up an infinity thermostate to run the humidifer when the furnace is not running? I have the fan on low all the time in the winter. Thanks

Automated tests MUST be fast to reflect real time project state. The idea is that:
- after any commit to repository automated build is performed (as fast as it can be done).
- if build succeeded automated tests are started. MUST be fast.
This is the best way i know to find out if your changes break anything.
At first it seemed that making a build fast is hard, but we managed to keep it around 100 sec. for a solution of 105(!) projects (MSVS 2008 C#).
Tests appeared to be not that simple (we use NUnit FW). Unit testing is not a big problem. It is integration tests that kills us. And not the fact that they are slower (any ideas on how to make them faster are much appreciated) but the fact that the environment must be set up which is MUCH slower(atm ~1000 sec)!
Our integration tests use web/win services (19 so far) that needs to be redeployed in order to reflect latest changes. That includes restarting services and a lot of HDD R/W activity.
Can anyone share the experience on how environment and the work flow should/can be organized/optimized to fasten automated testing phase. What are the "low level" bottlenecks and workarounds.
P.S. books and broad articles are welcome, but real world working solutions are much more appreciated.

Would you like a copy of Arletta Northrup's death certificate? The birth year is 1810 on the death certificate. The stone looks like it may say 1810 too but I am not sure since it is so tiny and faded.
DAR Patriot Index states "ancestor's record may not meet current DAR requirements for the service and/or the lineage. Interested applicants should ensure the accuracy of an ancestor's record by documenting the ancestor's service and the lineage as much as possible."
This death certificate does some of that.
Not my family member,

RE: Jacob Haldeman
Glad to hear it! Was the original stone reset? Has anything been done to stabilize the site? Were all participants descended from Jacob's son, John? I am descended from his son Christian - maybe the only DAR member from that line (certainly the first!).

I'd love to know who was involved in getting the lovely DAR marker for Jacob Haldeman's grave. I am a descendant and have been to the gravesite with other relatives, with us wondering what to do to preserve it. It is great that other descendants came up with a solution, and I would like to get in touch with them!

Chicago, Illinois – On Saturday, July 17th, more than 200 leaders of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) joined to celebrate New Americans Democracy Day by launching the "One Nation, One Dream: Standing for Families" campaign.
Food stamps are the primary federal anti-hunger program, helping poor people buy food. Enrollment is highest during times of economic distress. The jobless rate was 9.9 percent, the government said on Friday.
The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc.& Immigrant Legal Resource Center Announce a 6-DAY IMMIGRATION TRAINING!
Funding cuts. Program cuts.
That's what Pilsen residents say happened when about 55 percent of its nearly 44,000 residents didn't fill out the 2000 Census form.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Mar 01st, 2006
Running Time: 93
Director: Nick Manning
Company: Platinum Blue Productions
Cast: Mercedes Ashley, Nick Manning, Dynamite, Ann Marie Rios, Nicole Moore, Mia Domore
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
Nick Manning, whose life imitates the Sinatra tune, does things his way - and this includes starting off with an explosion on little Dynamite's face. And his oral confrontation with cute as hell Ann Marie is memorable.
In fact, he does a reasonable job on them all, but the footage here appears to have a healthy layer of dust on it as one part mentions winning a trip to the 2003 AVN show, which dates it three years in the past. Oh, well.
Manning also disappoints the viewer by talking about doing a scene with Samantha Sterlyng, shows her naked in the name-up chair, yet that scene is omitted from this final product. Also, overblown audio in parts of his otherwise excellent tryst with busty Mercedes Ashley tend to distract from and ruin the pop shot. Grrrr.
Drop and load, Nick.
Retailing: Fans of Nick Manning are the target audience.

Skip to comments.A column about Kansas Science Standards
Posted on 11/14/2005 8:06:26 AM PST by Exigence
click here to read article
Way to go, Steve Abrams and KS Board of Education!
"unless of course, your only defense really is baseless character assassination."
Now we all know evos would never stoop to something like this, don't we?
Why they never would! Every one of them are fine upstanding PhD holding sincere christians who would never insult anybody who disagrees with there point of view! /sarcasm off
Hmmm I wonder where the evos are on this one, they attack everything about the KBOE standards, they cant show up and refute him?
> I wonder where the evos are on this one
What, you can't wait six posts? Sheesh.
pigning PH
Oh, they are alive and working hard and places like the Kansas City Star, (smaller rags such as the Johnson County Sun Newspapers) each and every local television station manager, the KS Governor's Office, the KS House of Represenataives and Senate, the Kansas National Education Association and many umbrella sham organizations run under them, the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, etc.
Wait a minute, that's not fair. You actually expect people to read something before they criticize it? </sarc>
"Evolutionists do not want students to know about or in any way to think about scientific criticisms of evolution."
This is the most damning thing Abrams could ahve possibly said. However, it damns *himself,* as it is an astonishingly blatant LIE.
"Evolutionists" are *constantly* publicizing scientific criticisms of various aspects of evolution. And if some good science came along that criticised evolution itself, that would get openly debated as well.
You are exactly correct. That is how science is suppose to be and is practiced unlike what a few on this board seem to think.
I'm curious, what are the uppoer/lower bounds of permitted gentic change in a species? What happens when it reaches the maximum allowed changes in that species? Does some flag get set off that says, "Woah there! You can't have any less body hair than that!" Or, "You can't have teeth any sharper than that ... no meat-eating scavenging for you!" At what point do non-harmful mutations somehow get edited out as being too far beyond a (man-made) "species" delimiter?
I mean this to be a legitimate question ... I'm curious as to the answers ...
Translation: We wanted to insert into science class a bogus distinction made only in creationist talking points and not by real scientists in the peer-reviewed literature.
Really? Then why did you post that no such criticisms existed here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1511195/posts?q=1&&page=251?
I quote:
There are no scientific criticisms of evolution at this point, just ID and similar religious beliefs.
Methinks you may be tripping in your own rhetoric...
Not that we're creationists or anything...
From: http://www.wheaton.edu/ACG/essays/miller1.html
"In the last turn of events, 3 members of the Board rewrote the standards to produce a "compromise" document. While not including the more objectionable parts of the alternate proposal, it still eliminated the theory of evolution as a model for understanding the history and diversity of life. Furthermore it does not mention cosmology (Big Bang) or the Age of the Earth. It also includes errors of fact and misrepresentations of scientific methodology and content. This version passed the Board on August 12th by a 6 to 4 vote. The original standards document written and unanimously endorsed by the appointed committee was not even brought to a vote. This decision was made in opposition to the recommendations of virtually every scientific and educational body in the state. The Governor of Kansas and all of the presidents of the regents institutions (state universities) appealed to the Board to reject the alternate document. The academic and educational communities are very irritated by the current situation.
"The new science standards do not require or mandate teachers to teach anything. They certainly do not mandate the inclusion of creationism. What they do is establish the content of statewide assessment tests, and thus serve as recommendations for which topics and principles should be emphasized at each grade level from K-12. Teachers and local school boards are free to establish their own curricula. However the exclusion of evolutionary theory as an explanatory framework for the history of life and as a unifying concept in the biological sciences, the exclusion of theories of the origin of the universe (Big Bang model of cosmology), and the removal of references to a very ancient Earth history from the standards have significant implications. These omissions are critical, and remove the core unifying concepts from the sciences of biology, geology, and astronomy. Since they will not be subject to state assessment tests, these concepts are much less likely to be taught in districts where there is vocal opposition. By throwing the issue to "local control" the state board leaves teachers much more vulnerable to complaints by parents or administrators eager to avoid controversy. Furthermore, the decision is already having an impact on textbook publishers. Since the decision, one publisher has removed an introductory chapter on the geologic history of Kansas from a history textbook for fear that it would limit sales."

Except in Kansas... or at least, except in Kansas until the Board wisely amended our standards to allow such criticism. The old standards forbade it... which one should know before launching criticism at the new standards.
> Methinks you may be tripping in your own rhetoric...
Actually, it appears more likely that you are suffering from some reading comprehension troubles. Read the two sentences of mine again: "Evolutionists" are *constantly* publicizing scientific criticisms of various aspects of evolution. And if some good science came along that criticised evolution itself, that would get openly debated as well."
Can you figure out the distinction?
Come back to us when you've figured it out.
Well, of course you would be against local control. What would the world come to if Freepers believed they should have local control of their government bodies and taxes? Perish the thought. /sarc
Please remove me from your ping list, thanks.
The word "quantity" comes to mind.
There are real scientists holding real doctrates from real universities who are endorsing these standards. Just because someone disagrees with the god of naturalism does not make them "unreal" scientists to the intellectually honest parties in a debate. That is an ad hominem attack, but, unfortunately, par for the course...
> Well, of course you would be against local control.
In some things, yes. The Constitution lays out some things as absolutes regardless of locality. The state school board sets standards. Abdicating responsibilities here has led to a hodge-podge of unConstitutional local gun laws as well as allowing schools to become urban cesspits of crime and stupidity in some places and rural cesspits of superstition and stupidity in others.
> Just because someone disagrees with the god of naturalism ...
Do you understand how silly that makes you look?
Not sure what you mean, but if the population of a single species gets seperated (say by geology -- earthquake or flood or something), and are seperated long enough with no cross-breeding, the seperated species often eventually change into two species.
This can be chance --- like, say if the population was 50% black and 50% white --- then the "event" (say flood with a new river) occurs, and you end up with a population that is 60% white on one side and 60% black on the other --- you'd generally get two distinct populations of black and white whatevers.
(They recently found a population of frogs where this happened that recently go re-mixed --- they generally don't cross breed, although physically very similar, apparently b/c cross-bred offspring are not very viable -- croaks being the only ready distinction)
Or, to use the more typical form of evolition, if one type of predator is one one side and not on the other, that population would start to pre-dispose whatever trait helped avoid that preditor (assuming any live, that is).
As far as "how far can they go" and not be the same species? (which I think is the question) --- the answer is, it depends.
The simplified definition of a species is usually: can they have viable children?
And the answer to that is: just depends on how far the DNA changes, on a case-by-case basis.
This micro/macro evolution distinction has zero scientific backing. The dear Chairman let his agenda show.
Here's one.
Let's look at that "harmless" science standard.
"Science is a systematic method of continuing investigation that uses observations, hypothesis testing, measurement, experimentation, logical argument and theory building to lead to more adequate explanations of natural phenomena."
...."more adequate... is not the same as scientific and leaves the door open to supernatural explanations.
That's what's wrong.
Got it. You said there were no criticisms and now you're backpeddaling and trying to blame me for your previous misstep. I see the distinction. It's called: CYA on your part. lol
If you have to go outside the scientific literature to get the "scientific criticisms," then this is indeed the mislabeling its critics attack it as being. Hint: if your scientific criticisms are compiled by Duane Gish, Jonathan Sarfati, Philip Johnson, Jonathan Wells, Stephen Meyer, or a quote salad compiled by any of the preceding, they don't belong in biology class.
I have never seen an attempted collection of "scientific criticisms of those explanations" which would be anything more than what we have in creation/ID presentations on FR, an exercize in playing "find the gimmick." We shouldn't ask the ninth-graders to play that and win with their education on the line.
It never ceases to amaze me what some people try to pass off as rational thought. Just an idle observation!
Really? My staunch "evolution explains everything" prof for my undergrad evolutionary biology course said there was a distinction. Even he was intellectually honest enough to admit that -- and to cover the same criticisms of evolution in our course that Kansas science teachers were previously forbidden to utter. Very curious...
I agree... it's a very "idle" observation... *g*
Don't forget the Right Reverend William Paley!
Here I am again.
Note the following from the article:
"The critics also claim that in the scientific community, there is no controversy about evolution. They then proceed to explain that I ought to understand something about this, because surely I can see that over a period of time, over many generations, a pair of dogs will "evolve". There is a high likelihood that the progeny several generations down the line will not look like the original pair of dogs. And then some of the critics will claim that this proves that all living creatures came from some original set of cells."
A thoroughly dishonest representation of most scientists' views on evolution and no attribution given.
Maybe if you read the article I posted. The one above with the link to the standards that Abrams is urging everyone to read before they begin discussing the same.
Gish has a degree in engineering. Behe is a real biochemist. Wow! That's one. Wells got some sort of biology degree to help Papa Sun Myung Moon destroy Darwinism from within. That's two. Johnson is a lawyer.
Yeah. Just call them the experts and ignore the world.
Perhaps you should look up the definition of "ad hominem." The sentence that you were responding to is not an ad hominem attack, but actually addresses a substantive issue. Hint: ad hominem is a personal attack to distract from the substance of the topic being argued.
And before you say it, yes, I realize that the sentence implied a distinction between "real scientists" and the advocates of the KSB standards. However, this is, in fact, one of the substantive issues in this context.
Then I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that it was your post #30 that inspired it.
There is nothing being hidden. This is one of the facets of scientific inquiry; it's all published (unless The Government suppress things about weapons or something.) Mr Abrams's claim is vacuous. If he wants to make claims of things hidden, he can publish his research on the topics.
Yet another example of a creationist trying to insult evolution by calling it a religion. Tells you a lot about them....
I'l ba-aack.
Here's another gem:
Obviously, that is one of the reasons that we tried to further define evolution. We want to differentiate between the genetic capacity in each species genome that permits it to change with the environment as being different from changing to some other creature. "
In other words we would like to redefine evolution out of existence and hide behind a flurry of words whilewe do so.
I think that the Kansas state board has drafts posted on their website. Try google.
Probably at a DU fundraiser.
You are hardly a neutral source
I did read what you posted. Next time you post an excerpt, identify it as such. I always go to the source if the post is an excerpt.
Too simplified to be operational; it doesn't apply to two men but it does to two earthworms.
I named no one, so go ahead and "cherry pick" those who you think fit your argument. That's not an intellectually honest method, but, hey, all loose reasoning is fair when we're talking about "science," eh?
Let's not forget the Board chair holds a doctrate in the sciences and I have friends and acquaintances on the faculties of or who are alums with doctrates in the sciences from major universities who have no problem with the new standards... they just can't get interviewed by the "unbiased" press.
It's also interesting how foreign science journals are more honest about printing research that might chip away at evolution. Only the politically motivated US journals man the portal of scientific publications so voraciously and politically. Of course, that has no effect on "science," right? Long live the god of naturalism, eh?
(And, of course, we know that university profs as a body are diverse in their views. It's not like it's hard to get tenure if you hold different viewpoints than the liberal agenda dictates, right?)

Chow Deep-Fried Deliciousness, Redux
posted by March 23 at 12:16 PMon
I posted last week about deep-fried, EZ-Cheese-filled, bacon-wrapped hot dogs, which—as intern Jonah proved last Friday—weren't bad, once you squeezed some of the grease out. (Next time I recommend draining them on paper towels, Jonah.) This week's challenge: Deep-fried White Castle burgers, pizza, Gummi Bears (!!!), eggs and cookie dough, via, embarrassingly for me, FHM (I get this stuff from respectable food blogs, I swear). Four of the five were great, one was "incredibly oily and not good at all." Which one? The answer may surprise you.
