Skip to comments.Board member to resume testimony in 'intelligent design' trial
Posted on 11/02/2005 3:35:41 AM PST by PatrickHenry
A school board member who was questioned by a federal judge about discrepancies in his testimony on the purchase of "intelligent design" textbooks was expected to return to the witness stand Wednesday.
Dover Area School Board member Alan Bonsell was to undergo redirect questioning by an attorney representing the board in a landmark trial over whether intelligent design can be introduced in high school science classes.
Bonsell testified Monday that he had received an $850 check from fellow board member William Buckingham. The check was made out to Bonsell's father, who volunteered to donate copies of "Of Pandas and People" to the district.
U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III asked Bonsell why he never shared that information in a January deposition when he was repeatedly asked under oath about who was involved in making the donation. Bonsell, who served as the board's president in 2004, said he misspoke. [Note to school board lawyers: When the judge asks your client why he's lying, it's usually not a good sign.]
Buckingham testified Thursday he collected $850 in donations to help purchase the books during a Sunday service at his church.
The board is defending its October 2004 decision to require students to hear a statement about intelligent design before ninth-grade biology lessons on evolution. The statement says Charles Darwin's theory is "not a fact," has inexplicable "gaps," and refers students to the textbook for more information.
Eight families are suing to have intelligent design removed from the biology curriculum because they believe the policy essentially promotes the Bible's view of creation, and therefore violates the constitutional separation of church and state.
Intelligent design supporters argue that natural selection, an element of evolutionary theory, cannot fully explain the origin of life or the emergence of highly complex life forms.
The trial began Sept. 26 and is expected to conclude on Friday.
Hey, that picture you've posted is nothing but an overgrown rat. But there's something about the medulla (Islamic similarities noted) of a terrier that turns a genteel lap dog into a big toothed terror. And flying monkeys are no match.
That one's mine. When he dies, I'll stuff him and mount him on the sofa just like that.
That's more like it!
In 1807, the chairman of the committee on education for the District of Columbia schools decreed that the Christian Bible and Watts Hymnal must be taught in the D.C. public schools. That man was Thomas Jefferson, who was also the President of the United States. The LAW has not changed. FDR's Communists rewrote the LAW in 1947 in a fit of judicial activism.
How do I post a scanned image?
Good luck - this case has shown us that creationists think nothing of lying to advance their political agenda.
I would like to ask all creationists to decry the tactics used by the school board in this case, or risk confirming that the entire movement is bereft of any integrity whatsoever.
The history of the 14th is that immediately after the civil war, some southern states were claiming that rights given in the Constitution did not apply in the states, specifically about blacks. That was a stupid argument, in as much as if those rights didn't apply in the states, then where would they have applied? In the Federal City and territories? Nevertheless the 14th was passed to tell those southern states that when the Constitution gave us a right, it meant it.
The problem is that the First, as you claim, was specifically directed at limiting what the Congress could do. As such, it can be construed not as granting rights (and thus covered under the 14th), but at limiting Congress. Indeed, several states that ratified the First had official religions up till around 1820, thus the wording "Congress shall make no law", because several states already had such laws and intended to keep them.
Perhaps the First should be amended to remove the "Congress shall make no law" clause. Certainly the presstitutes would like such a thing since the First also covers freedom of the press.
But your problem is if the First were interpreted as originally intended, there will be religion taught in schools. And certainly every parent with a student will insist that their religion be taught with the same validity as Christianity. The Muslims in particular, since their demographics are growing, will demand such a thing. I'm sure the Indians in Northern Arizona will insist on teaching their religious stories as hard fact too.
I can think of nothing more damaging to the faith of young people than teaching several diametrically opposed faiths as fact, side by side. I rejected my Christian faith in large part because I realized that there were many different human faiths, and that none of them had any more reason to claim validity than any other.
Perhaps now is a good time for a Coyoteman creation myth.
Be careful of what you wish for. You may get it.
Which one was it?
Does this mean I have to put away my monkey god statue. I know he was only collecting dust, but he's a real conversation piece.
Then why don't you object to teaching the secular religion of Darwinism?
Here's a monkey god for you, but I don't see any scientific literati there.
It doesn't work any better in law and government than it does in science.
Yeah. It's not atheists who worship the Monkey God. It's Hindus. I guess he got that one wrong. What else did he get wrong.
Perhaps we should teach the Hindu creation myth(s) in school, too. They're really creative.
Has it occurred to you that not everything is a religion or even about religion?
"This is an attempt at affirmative action for athiesm and monkey worshippers"
Huh? What do atheists and Hindus have to do with this? I didn't even know that the Hindu monkey god was involved in this.
Looks like fun. Not!
It's a strange thread indeed, when Uncle Fester seems like the breath of fresh air.
It's a keeper. I'll be adding it to The List-O-Links.
Because it isn't a religion, by any definition.
Once again, when a creationist wants to disparage evolution, he calls it a "religion." I'm always amused by that - it tells us more about creationists than they realize.
Well, doesn't that just say it all....
You left off the fourth one, with both hands over his crotch.
Testy testes placemarker.
You've only been called a communist. Until you get called nazi and wiccan, you haven't arrived.
Note that no creationist will criticize someone doing such name calling. By their silence, they all support such tactics just as by their silence, all creationists support they lying of the school board members.
NEW post 64 by Rightwing Conspiratr1 on 02 Nov 2005. I'm sick and tired of athiest monkey-worshipping communist swine ...
Tasty testy testes placemarker.
Bet it would sell, too.
Shhh - don't confuse him with facts. ;-)
Please rethink your tactics and try to remain civil.
I've been asking creationists if they support or condemn the lies used by the school board in this case. To date, not one has even answered the question, much less tried to distance him/herself from the lies.
Their silence tells us all we need to know about their integrity, and the integrity of their movement.
We're talking about science, not politics. Please stop dishonestly changing the subject.
If that were a crime, we'd have only three people left in Congress.
Okay, you're a troll. It's quite clear. Like all creationists, you're willing to use any manner of lies to support your claims because you don't have a single fact to present against evolution, but your lies are over the top to the point where I can't even accept that you believe them. Nothing you say carries any credibility and nothing you say can be trusted.
See post #4.
Aw c'mon. It's a lot more fun to watch and see what else may ooze out from under his lid.
Alas! Man proposes, the admin-moderator disposes.
"Xenu belongs in the public schools." placemark
Me neither. Given that fundamentalist Hindus are also creationists, there's probably more more monkey-worshipping creationists than evolutionists, I'm willing to bet.

Great deal!!

What do you mean he's moving to Clairemont.... you mean as in San Diego Clairemont or LA Clairemont. Why ? Is there some greener political pasture for him somewhere else? I hate that tool. He will never be a north county representative in my mind.ReplyDelete

Skip to comments.Iranian Alert - May 29, 2005 - 'Al-Zarqawi in Iran?'
Posted on 05/29/2005 2:33:30 PM PDT by freedom44
Top News Story
Sunday Times via IranFocus
IRAQS most wanted terrorist has fled the country for emergency surgery after an American airstrike left him with shrapnel lodged in his chest, according to a senior insurgent commander in close contact with his group.
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who has a $25m bounty on his head after being blamed for suicide bombings, assassinations and the beheadings of western hostages including Ken Bigley, the Liverpool engineer is now believed to be in Iran.
He has suffered from bouts of high fever since being wounded by a missile that struck his convoy three weeks ago as he fled an American offensive near the town of al-Qaim in northwestern Iraq, the commander said.
His condition late last week was described as stable, but supporters were said to be preparing to move him to another non-Arab country for an operation to remove the shrapnel.
Shrapnel went in between the right shoulder and his chest, ripped it open and is still stuck in there, said the commander. Officials in Washington believe that US forces may have lost their chance of capturing or killing him for now. If hes got to Iran, theres not much we can do, said one. Uncertainty has surrounded the fate of the Jordanian-born Zarqawi since The Sunday Times reported two weeks ago that a doctor at Ramadi general hospital in western Iraq claimed to have treated him for a wound that was bleeding badly. Supporters were urged to pray for him and some reports suggested that he may have died.
A Daily Briefing of Major News Stories on Iran:
Reformist opposition does not rule out coalition with Rafsanjani
Hmmmm?? If he's in Iran .. maybe the Mossad can ....????
Heh heh heh.
If Zarqawi's in Iran, that's reason #239 for getting jiggy with the mad, murderous mullahs.
Why can't the ROP can't produce any qualified doctors over there? Or decent hospitals? Why do they have to move him to a non-Arab country for surgery? Hmmm?
The Saudis sent of lot of their fat, fat kings and sheiks here to the Cleveland Clinic for heart surgery. We should offer Zark that opportunity to get his US military supplied splinter removed. And we won't even charge him for the surgery. A guest of the American people. Then when he's all better, we can throw his slimy 4$$ into solitary at Gitmo until his murder trial.
This is BULLSH*T of the highest order.
Shot in western Iraq, who really believes he is going to be carted all the way across Iraq to get back to Iran while severly injured avoiding all sorts of American and Iraqi patrols and air survielance?
He is either hunkering down in some farm house in Iraq spreading storries about his location, or he is in Syria (the most likely). Remote outside possibility is Turkey, but unlikely.
Thanks for posts. But something doesn't seem to ring true here.
"His condition late last week was described as stable, but supporters were said to be preparing to move him to another non-Arab country for an operation to remove the shrapnel."
Why not treat him in Iran? They have fully equiped surgery units with lots of western educated doctors etc.. Besides,
is probably welcome in Iran due to his terrorist affiliations with groups out of Iran.
I think this is mis-information.
How do we know he's not hiding in your left pocket? :)
Good choice of words by ABC, they still have a measure of respect for military power.
It's surprising to hear that ABC used that word, 'enemy'. Perhaps it was an editorial oversight?
al Zarqawi's in Iran, and so is Osama.
They were probably referring to the US soldiers.
Now that makes more sense...
This is appearing more and more likely to be the case - Zarqawi was probably never wounded to begin with (or hurt only slightly....non-serious) - Yet, it turned into this larger rouse for any number of reasons.
UBL is not in Iran and very doubtful Zarqawi is either (his organization has many more ties within Syria...if he did seek refuge from Iraq for a time being) - Though I am starting to suspect he wasn't wounded to begin with now -
It was loud and clear. I didn't catch the name of the newsreader, probably some retired Korean War era guy they had to hire for the weekend.

The rumor mill on Zarqawi is 24/7. One possibility, is that he's already dead, maybe for sometime now, so a continous flow of rumor's about him put out by his closer associates that know the truth keeps him 'alive' to keep up the morale of lower minions. More likely though is he is wounded and hiding out somewhere in Iraq still, but I'd bet most of the info we get is nothing but rumor and any facts that slip by are probably months old. Who the hell knows anymore, all I do know is I will believe my eyes to his status when his stinking rotten corpse makes Fox news.
Hey, RW, I wasn't doubting for a moment that you heard it! I was just musing that Brilliant's interpretation sounded more in tune with the ABC we all know and loathe.
There ya go...
Students want a Free Referundum and Boycotte of all sham elections in Iran
i hope that man is dead. Good try on part of our troops...still need work on that accuracy cause he should of been shredded but it is nice to hear that he is suffering i am very happy about that. i hope he suffers lots and dies slow. and infection would set in quickley . i would like to see the video of him suffering
Maybe they're just jerking our chain .. hoping we'll believe one of their stories. Why that would matter to them I have no clue.
Iran's too far. I think he'd go to Syria.
This is appearing more and more to be the case (faking Zarqawi being injured) - And the purpose for this....to simply create an confusion they can (whatsoever) and hopefully knock of off Z-man trail (even just a little bit).
All of what you posted above could be true (or parts of it) - Though, I am being to suspect Zarqawi was never seriously wounded (if even wounded at all) - This is looking to be more of a rouse now than anything else -
"This is appearing more and more likely to be the case - Zarqawi was probably never wounded to begin with (or hurt only slightly....non-serious) - Yet, it turned into this larger rouse for any number of reasons."
Roger that. Z-man has been running for his life of lately. If he had to leave his computer, personal sack, etc., in that car he escaped from last month, that stopped underneath an overpass, so he could jump out and run for it, while the Iraqi police/army where hot on his trail, he knows how close he came to biting the bullet.
And most probably our military folk that are asked by reporters are going along with it. There will continue to be ops up and down the Euphrates west/east NW of Baghdad up to the Syrian border in all the cities and villages. And each time one or more of our Marine BN's start a new operation, we shall see more of the Iraqi Army getting in on it. At least that's my take on things in mid and northern Al Anbar province. Could be wrong but it just makes sense to me.
Agree completely (this is exactly what is happening)
Been busy wading through TexKat and Gocho's postings. Did not notice your reply. Don't know how else to look at the scenario. We can't be to far off the mark if at all.
Time to sign off, eyes are bleary.
A CURIOUS THING started happening in the formerly Communist world in the year 2000. One after another, hated, repressive governments gave way to mass movements of nonviolent refusal. First there was Serbia, then Georgia, then Ukraine, and now Kyrgyzstan. It was as if a virus were spreading - one that led long abused populaces to wake up to their own power, which they could withhold from authorities to stunning effect.Here is a portion of his book in Farsi.
But it wasn't a virus. Among other things, it was an 88-page booklet by a Boston scholar named Gene Sharp, which has circulated in local translation at the site of every one of these nonviolent democratic revolutions. READ MORE

"If you want on or off this Iran ping list, Freepmail DoctorZin
coming up for air from the weekend, crawling out from under the rock this Tuesday morning. Am vaguely aware of Al Zarqawi in the news during the past weekend. Any updates as of today?
Or he went out through Syria, but then was flown to Iran. Now that the Iranians are claiming he's in a hospital in Jordan, I'd say the chances of him actually being in Iran went up considerably.
Iran is a "Non Arab country" they are Persians, not Arabs.
ME: Why not treat him in Iran?
YOU: Iran is a "Non Arab country" they are Persians, not Arabs.
I understand that. That was not the issue. One of the bordering states, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran, could have been used to slip him in and have his wounds treated. The issue was not if a country was Arab or not. And Iran, since it has ties to so many terriorist orgs, and have allowed Zarqawi entrance in the past, could easily been a good choice. Obviously at this point, it is a none issue since they where obviously putting up a smoke screen as to his condition.
OBL is in Pakistan and has been for sometime.
Conventional wisdom is always wrong.
Not conventional wisdom. Pretty good intel.
If the intel is so good, how come we haven't bagged him 4 years later? If I were him, I'd go to the Axis of Evil.

No-Spill™ Soft Sipper Spouts
6+ Months
Wide Neck
The No-Spill™ Soft Sipper Spout by Nûby™ is made from the same soft silicone as our Nûby™ nipples. Because it is similar in texture, transitioning your child from bottle to cup feeding is a snap. And because it's from Nûby™, you can be assured that it won't leak. That's because the Soft Sipper Spout features a built-in pressure sensitive valve. As your child drinks, fluid flows out of the spout. As soon as your child stops, this special valve closes ensuring a leak resistant sipper. These spouts serve as replacement spouts for the Nûby™ wide neck 3 Stage Grow Nurser™ Feeding System as well as other wide neck nursers.

A 23-year-old Chicago man was attempting to take a photo from atop the historic Intercontinental Hotel when he fell 22 feet down the building's smokestack and later died, authorities said Thursday.
It took rescue crews four hours to pull Nicholas Wieme, 23, from the angled portion of the smokestack where he was wedged. The fall happened in an area of the Michigan Avenue hotel that is closed off from the general public, officials said.
"We had to send members from the top down on ropes to assess his condition. The whole time we're monitoring the situation for toxic gases," said Michael Fox, the Chicago Fire Department's special operations chief. "We found the best way to get out him was to go about two floors below, and we had to cut the duct work for the chimney, which was made out of steel. And eventually we ended up sliding the victim down into the hole and removing him from the building."
After the spot where he was wedged, the chimney is vertical for about 42 floors.
"It turned very precarious, because two foot after where we made the hole was a drop that would have went 42 floors to the basement, so it took us a little time to cut the hole in the right spot, and shore it up, so when we brought him out he would not fall into the basement," Fox said.
During the rescue operation, Wieme spoke to firefighters and used his cellphone to contact his girlfriend, who was on the roof with him and had called 911 after he fell. He apparently lost consciousness before he was pulled from the smokestack because he eventually stopped talking, authorities said.
Wieme was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead early Thursday.
In a statement Thursday, the hotel's general manager, Raymond Vermolen, said his staff is cooperating fully with authorities' investigation.

Voulez vous des tears?
May 04 2008 09:10AM
(from Canadian Press) After a first place finish and a drubbing of the Bruins in Round One, the Habs fell to the Flyers 4–1 on Saturday. Now, we bet there's going to be a lot of support for Price from people everywhere because he's "young" and "good" and young. Well not here, not in the Nation. Screw you, Price. How does that sound? Super rookie my Aunt Fanny. Let in a few less goals CAREY, then we'll talk. The fact is that you'll probably win a Vezina and, gods help us, a Cup with Montreal soon, but not today people. We won't support the Habs until it's fashionable and they're up 3–1 in a series. And we won't support you, Price. If we wanted to support a struggling 20-year-old, we'd be out buying Lindsay Lohan albums. Oh, and good work trading Huet Gainey. Perhaps the lesson of Fleury in Pittsburgh didn't show you that a 20-year-old can handle the pressure cooker of being a starter in the league right off the bat. Penguin bandwagon here we come I suppose. Right, lambs?
Habs Fan Shoutouts
T-Fents would like to send a shoutout to Sadowsky and congratulate him on being a Habs fan, loving cheese and drinking wine since the age of three. Tough loss, Bob.
It was an entertaining game, too bad about that 3 minute lapse

Thick Calves
"I needed a high heel boot that would accommodate my runners calves, and I got it. Like the thicker heel, makes it a great shoe for all day wear around town. Got lots of compliments from guys & gals about how stylish they look with a pair of skinny jeans. I'm glad I made the choice to get them."

A little small
"This boot looks way better in the picture than in real life. They look a lot cheaper in person and the buckles which I thought were going to be a gold or antiqued gold color turned out to be barely gold and had an almost greenish color tint. They also run a little small. I ordered my regular size and they were tight around the toes. I returned them to the store! I would NOT recommend!"

- About the brand
Bling Nails Black Jewels time to shine with these bedazzled appliqués!
Nail Bliss has built its reputation on providing quality nails with inspired designs.
Great!The trick to these is to follow the directions and clean your nails with alcohol or polish remover before applying the stickers. I did, and these lasted for at least a week! I got a lot of compliments from perfect strangers who said, "Your nails are so cool! How did you do that?" I much prefer these to other nail stickers precisely because they are more like stickers. Whereas others are quite thin and get dry and chip, these are more flexible and forgiving with wear.Oct 5, 2012April

Terrible QualityAlthough this is a cute design, the quality of this was terrible. It wasn't really nail polish - it was more like a sticker, so it didn't stay on. It lasted about 20 minutes for me!Apr 26, 2012Alexandra

Love These!Tried these for the 1st time and love them! Had them on for a few days and haven't noticed any wear or peeling. I saved enough pieces/trimmings to have enough for my toenails too, with one pack! I like that these look similar to fake nail jobs but save the health of your nails. They also look fancier than regular nail polish and doesn't chip! Totally worth the $5!Jul 21, 2011Rowan

Obama's Budget Defeated 413-2
Wow! House Defeats Obama's Budget 413-2
With a vote of 413-2, the president's 2015 budget that called for increased government spending fueled by tax increases was soundly rejected by the House of Representatives on Wednesday.
The 2015 budget was largely considered to be rejected as it effectively served as a Democrat wish-list, a means of aiming high and whittling down. However, Wednesday's vote signals a thorough rejection of the fiscally irresponsible budget.

The Otsego Institute for Native American Art History
Materials and Materiality in Native North American Art History
May 18-21, 2015
This four-day workshop for graduate students and junior professionals is sponsored by the Otsego Institute for Native American Art History in cooperation with the Fenimore Art Museum.
Applications are now available. Application deadline: January 15, 2015
Download Call for Applicants form (pdf)
Download Workshop Summary (pdf).
In 2015 the Otsego Institute for Native North American Art History will focus on two interrelated issues of fundamental importance to advanced students in this field: the connoisseurship of materials and the theorization of materiality.
Through workshops and close hands-on examination of objects in the Thaw Collection of American Indian Art, as well as lectures, readings, and group discussions, we will develop skills in identifying the materials, styles, and techniques of preparation used by Native North American artists in the production of both historic and current art. At the same time, we will explore Indigenous and Western intellectual engagements with material phenomena: the nature and culture of materiality, how it embodies the spiritual, and how different materialities—human, animal, environmental—act on each other in artistic contexts.
The workshops will include presentations, discussions and hands-on examination of original works of art. There will be time for participants to present informally their own current and prospective dissertations and curatorial projects to co-participants and faculty.
Participation and Travel
The workshop is open to graduate students and beginning professionals specializing in or considering specialization in Native American art history, whether in art, anthropology, or Native studies departments or museums.
We suggest participants block out May 17-22 for the workshop, allowing a day of travel before and after.

The Otsego Institute for Native American Art History
The Otsego Institute was founded in 1996 to support and promote the highest standards of the discipline of art history in the field of North American Indian art. It has sponsored three invitational conferences at the Fenimore Art Museum.
The topic of the first meeting, held in June 1997, was the State of Native American Art History. The second meeting, held in August 1998, focused on current research on Northwest Coast art and was tied to Native Visions: Northwest Coast Art from the 18th Century to the Present, a loan exhibition from the Seattle Art Museum. In August 1999 the Institute held its third conference, Native Art History and Folk Art History: Critiquing the Paradigms.
In 2002, the format of Otsego Institute activities was modified from an academic conference to an advanced workshop for graduate students who examined aboriginal art history within a framework of formal lectures, hands-on workshops, and informal discussion of contemporary research and scholarly practices with co-participants and faculty.
