"This is just one example of how the president puts ideology before science, politics before the needs of our families, just one more example of how out of touch with reality he and his party have become," Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., told the Take Back America conference of liberal activists Wednesday."
So let me get this clear.
Ideology-->Science--?Politics-->Family
Apparently, our families 'need' federally funded scientific research.

Opinion Vs Fact
In turn, this leads to a fifth point which is the confusion of news and commentary. Comment is a perfectly respectable part of journalism. But it is supposed to be separate. Opinion and fact should be clearly divisible. The truth is a large part of the media today not merely elides the two but does so now as a matter of course. In other words, this is not exceptional. It is routine.--Tony Blair's parting shot on the media

Colony Collapse Disorder Vs. Global Warming
This is old news now, dated May 19th, but I had to post it because the lesson should last a thousand years. First, some background.
Global warming enthusiasts tell us that we have a problem like no other. The best estimates of these experts warn that our descendants in 1,000 years will have an intractable problem that we should solve today.
The Oceans will be several feet higher. Idaho, Utah, and Arizona-Iowa, Michigan, and Illinois will have great surfing, and Washington D.C. will have to be moved inland. New Yorkers will exclusively live in the top floors of the new Atlantis.
There has been another danger, even more present, and drastic. Beehives colonies have been dying off in the U.S. in large numbers. They suffer from a condition called Colony Colapse Disorder (CCD). Scientists, not to be left unawares, have been relatively quietly addressing this problem with little press attention. They've studied the effects of mobile phone signals, parasites, and bacteria.
Bees are responsible for a large amount of pollination that takes place on Earth.
Einstein was a smart man.
I'll tell you what I told my wife months ago. Scientists will fix it, and it appears that they now have a way to treat Hive colonies to immunize them against the effects of parasites using relatively simple methods employed by ancient African tribes 60,000 years ago.
My point is that if scientists can solve a clear and present danger like CCD, don't you think they can address a foggy and distant danger such as Global Warming?

Bees are responsible for a large amount of pollination that takes place on Earth.
"A congressional study said honeybees add about $15 billion a year in value to the U.S. food supply. Among the crops to be affected are apples, nuts, avocados, soybeans, asparagus, broccoli, celery, squash, cucumbers, peaches, kiwi, cherries, blueberries, cranberries, strawberries, cantaloupe and other melons.Einstein reckoned that mankind would have 4 years to live without bees.The shortage will potentially affect the beef industry too because the growth of alfalfa is dependent on pollination from the bees."

WSJ:The Case For A Strong Executive
Harvey C. Mansfield has a great article at Opinion Journal from the Wall Street Journal on the tug-of-war between the "rule of law", and the case for a strong executive.
This one takes some time to absorb, so give yourself some space to read it.

On Blank Checks
"The president wants a blank check. The Congress will not give it to him."No, Madam Speaker, the President would like you to remove the following small print from your check.
In order to operate the Congressional funding service and to reduce the risk of fraud, Congress Inc, ("Congress" or "we") must ask you to provide us information about yourself and your bank account. This Policy describes the information we collect and how we use that information.
If you apply for a Congress branded credit card or credit line, you authorize Congress and the issuer of the Congress branded credit card or credit line ("Democrats" or "your eternal foe") to exchange the information you provide in the application form. If you are approved for a Congress branded credit card or credit line, your account may be frozen upon the existence of one or more of the following conditions.
- You continue to operate in your assignment as "Commander and Chief" of the United States, without, first, declaring fealty to a panel comprised of the 222 members who dislike you.
- You refuse to disclose the reasoning by which we funded your operations in the first case.
- You continue to use words such as "veto" and "find common ground" in reference to Congress, Inc, 222 members who dislike you.

Make Just One Pencil
Reach Upward has a great post on the economics involved in "Shopping Local". His post features a replay of a concept proposed 50 years ago by an economist by the name of Leonard Read, and made famous by Milton Friedman.
The concept is that something as simple as a lead pencil could not be made by any one man. In fact, its production involves the work of countless people. The idea was intriguing enough to me that I've started a new blog dedicated to gathering all information on the production of pencils.
Check it out.

Marriage, Poverty, Education, And Homosexuality
Democracy for Utah has a post entitled, "Is poverty a greater threat to marriage than gay people?" The author, Carrie, then goes on to cite a statistic that shows that poverty is low among married people to support her claim.
It would seem to me that her question may have easily have been phrased this way, "Is marriage a greater threat to poverty than gay people?". Or, why not, "Is poverty a greater threat to gay people than to marriage?" There is as much evidence to support these claims as that made by DfU because, frankly, homosexuality is not addressed in this study.
In any case, why not conclude from studies that show marriage, and wealth, as co-factors that marriage has a positive impact on ones financial well-being? What harm can it do to pursue two worth goals instead of pitting each against the other. In any case, correlation is not causality. Poverty could, in fact, cause nothing that is measurable by this study, and marriage could have no effect whatsoever on the pocketbook.
And what about the issue of poverty? This study does appear to discuss the level of education of the participants, drawing a direct correlation between the levels of education of women, income, and marriage status of the group.

"College-educated women, whose numbers have risen sharply since 1980, often live with a partner and postpone marriage. But in most cases, they eventually marry and have children, and divorce at about half the rate of women who do not finish high school."Do any of these characteristics cause the others? Perhaps there is a correlation between those who obtain a college degree and those who escape poverty, but cause is not as easy to peg as correlation.

Share Your OPML
OPML is a file that can be imported/exported, uploaded/downloaded that contains all of your RSS feed information. I've talked about RSS feeds before. RSS feeds are an invaluable tool for the 'internet addict'. I've thought about sharing my list of RSS feeds for a while, but haven't been sure about how to do this.
Until now.
At Share Your OPML.org you can upload your list of RSS feeds, and then view those feeds that are similar to your own.
I highly recommend it.

MLK Day:Clearing The Calendar
The legislative leadership would like to move the start of the legislative session so that it doesn't begin on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Now this raises, for me, a thought about the idealogical divide separating conservative thinkers, from liberal ones.
Conservatives are, generally, most concerned that government address issues that strike at all people. Liberals take an added interest in the well being of minorities. For them, the government is the individual. They draw no distinguishing line between the activities of the government, and individual acts. To a liberal, the impact of government actions are felt, most keenly, by the minorities. Broad, overarching, concerns, are considered less important to solve than small issues. To a liberal, present dangers have decidedly less emphasis than far distant dangers. For reference compare 'global warming', which will have its greatest impact-all evidences being equal--years hence; to our economic dependence upon oil--a concern right now. Our economic vitality was a concern, cited by the U.S. administration, leading to our rejection of the Kyoto accord.
Now back to the start of the legislative session which is written into Utah's constitution. KSL reports that there are one million residents of Utah that are black. This is not to say that there are one million critics of the start day of the Utah legislature. It does not follow from being a member of the black race, that one will take offense at MLK sharing the day with the legislature. In fact, we can't, say that King himself would be offended at the collision of the two days. I would think that the very existence of such a constitutional activity would have cheered King. We, also, might just find more significance in Kings life if we mark the passage of another session of the legislature alongside Kings memorial.
Then again, we might want King to have his own day, which is why I support a vote of the people.
Let the majority decide.

John McCain hates bloggers!
I know. That title is pretty weaselly. I'm sure that McCain doesn't hate bloggers, but he wants them to be under the same restrictions as large organizations who devote huge resources to preventing copyright violations. He wants bloggers to police comments. Violations could cost the offending blogger $300,000!
I don't have $300,000.

Super Lettuce Turns Sour Sweet
It has been almost ten years since I tried "miracle fruit" and I'll never forget it. The little red berry, the only fruit on the bush, was split three ways. It tasted like, well, nothing. I didn't think it was much of a miracle.
After consuming a large bowl of lemons, followed up with another bowl of oranges, we were convinced of the miraculous nature of that fruit. Those were the sweetest lemons I have ever had.
I've since tried to explain the situation to others, and even to find information on the fruit on the internet to no avail.
Until now.
It seems that Japanese scientists have engineered lettuce to contain the protein that binds to your taste buds and make sour things sweet.
The protein is called miraculin, and the fruit it occurs in naturally is called Richadella dulcifica, or "miracle fruit".

McGyver this!
Well, I misspelled McGyver as 'McGuiver' and now Farrer Commons comes up as number three when searching for the mispelled name on Google.
Anyway, I have another nice little life-hack for you.
When you've dropped something into the toilet, and don't relish the thought of toilet water all over your hands, then try this.
Take a plastic grocery bag and place your hand inside. With your hand covered, reach into the toilet and get the missing item. Then, still holding the item, turn the bag inside-out and you can toss it into the trash.
If you dropped some valuable jewelry, you may wish to reconsider throwing it away.

Get an R.S.S. reader
It looks like half of the readers of my blogs (i.e. Davis County Watch, and Farrer Commons) are using Internet Explorer version 6 which means that they are probably not taking advantage of R.S.S. There are plugins available to allow I.E. 6 users to see feeds.
There are a few that have made the jump to I.E. 7 which has a built in R.S.S. feed reader. Although, I haven't heard great reviews of version 7 itself.
About 30% are using some version of Firefox which has a number of R.S.S. feed readers. I use Sage.
I'm sure that Safari users have Feed readers. However, I've never used Safari.
If you don't use R.S.S. and are an internet information junkie, then you should get yourself a feed reader for R.S.S.
R.S.S. stands for Really Simple Syndication and is the best way, at present, for keeping track of all of the websites that you frequent. If you don't want to have to trouble yourself to visit each and every website in turn, that you like, to see if they've been updated then you want an R.S.S. reader.
Only a small number of websites don't use R.S.S. feeds. All Blogger blogs have an option to publish feeds.

Happy Thanksgiving 2006
We just got home from St. George where we spent most of Thanksgiving week. We had great time there with our family. We also learned about our own little family while we were away from home.
Two nights ago my daughter awoke in a panic--It was likely a nightmare, but she couldn't express herself. All she could do is cry and gesture desperately, behind her, in the direction of the single window in the room.
It was likely going to be a long night.
We had no explanation for her terror. It occured to me to ask her if she'd seen something terrible. I asked her if she'd seen someone in the window. She nodded in agreement with her head buried into my shoulder, and instantly fell asleep.
We too could return to sleep. And I had one final thought as I closed my eyes. We all feel safer when we feel that someone is aware of us. When they listen to our thoughts-our fears, the world is a better place.

Invisibility cloak moves a step closer | The Register
I just love the opening line on this article, and the implications of the science!
"After generations of being effectively invisible to the opposite sex, physicists have finally laid down blueprints for a functioning invisibility cloak."
The future is here...We just can't see it.

My Blogging style
I made a solid decision when I started blogging that I wasn't going to put images on my blog. I just want everyone to know that it isn't for lack of knowledge that I rely, alone, on text to get my message across. This is a matter of style. But, everyone's doing it so I have to give you something.
Here is a picture my wife took of our daughter rendered as ASCII. Isn't she a cutie?
