SPOKANE, Wash.--A local girl is looking for help in making her invention a household product. The creation, iCPooch, allows pet owners on the go video chat with their dogs.
Wednesday on KREM 2 News at 6:00, see the invention that is starting to get national attention.
Brooke Martin, 13, wanted to invent a way to always be connected to her best friend. She said he dog, Kayla, had separation anxiety and would whine when she left home. Kayla's anxiety fueled the idea to create iCPooch.
Martin said iCPooch is a combination of Skype and a vending machine.
"I was kind of just thinking… it would be cool if you could video chat with your dog," said Martin.
She said all you need is a smartphone or tablet to operate iCPooch. The invention also allows users to give their dog a treat at the push of a button.
Martin and her iCPooch team created a KICKSTARTER campaign to help get prototypes onto store shelves. The campaign aims to raise $70,000 by October.
"The goal is to really make this affordable to the consumer at a retail price of around $169," added Martin. "In order to do that, we have to really mass produce the parts, cost effectively do that."
DONATE: iCPooh's KICKSTARTER page
Martin's idea seems to be catching on. Her creations was featured Wednesday on Yahoo's homepage.
"It's so cool," added the teenager. "It's unbelievable, I would have never thought that we would have come this far with just an idea I had for an 8th grade project."
Martin was also selected as a top-ten finalist in a national challenge for young scientists.

Family Trees Planted at Downtown Library
Are you distantly related to a King of Ireland, an African Princess, or a Missouri horse thief? Want to learn how to find out?
The Downtown Library, 300 Park Avenue, is hosting a Beginning Genealogy for Families workshop from 2-4pm on Saturday, April 4, 2009. It's for children in the first grade or older, and a parent or caregiver.
"Children frequently want to know about their families," said Downtown librarian Lisa Bradley, "and lots of times parents don't know too much about any ancestors older than their own grandparents. What this workshop is designed to do is get kids started on researching their family trees."
The study of family lineages can itself be traced back in history to ancient times, but the explosion of interest in the modern hobby of genealogy began in the 1970s when the TV version of Arthur Haley's book "Roots" premiered. Then, when the Internet made researching so much simpler, family tree cultivation became a hobby anyone could enjoy.
"We have to limit the size of the class at the library," Bradley added, "so we're encouraging interested parties to call us at 606-3856 to register in advance. They'll also be given some 'homework' that needs to be completed before class. Please call. We'd love to see you and your child get started on this fascinating and relevant journey through time."
The Metropolitan Library System of Oklahoma County includes 12 libraries and five extension libraries. Libraries include Belle Isle, Capitol Hill, Ralph Ellison, Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library and Southern Oaks in Oklahoma City, as well as Bethany, Choctaw, Del City, Edmond, Midwest City, Village and Warr Acres.

With the NBA Trade Deadline now complete, the Dallas Mavericks roster stays as is.
No Luol Deng, No Evan Turner, No Spencer Hawes, No Omer Asik, No Jordan Hill….

The Mavs weren't the only quiet team on this mostly quiet deadline day.
It is to be seen which offers were out there and if the Mavs actually had the opportunity to improve this roster.

It is important to know what things make your asthma worse. These are called asthma "triggers." Avoiding them is your first step toward feeling better.
Our homes can be filled with asthma triggers. Some of these are in the air we breathe, some are in our furniture and carpets, and some are on our pets.
If you smoke, ask your doctor or nurse to help you quit. No one should smoke in your house. This includes you, your visitors, your child's babysitters, and anyone else who comes to your house.
Smokers should smoke outside and wear a coat. The coat will keep smoke particles from sticking to their clothes. They should leave the coat outside, or away from the child.
Ask people who work at your child's day care, preschool, school, and anyone else who takes care of your child, if they smoke. If they do, make sure they smoke away from your child. Stay away from restaurants and bars that allow smoking. Or, ask for a table as far away from smokers as possible.
When pollen levels are high:
You can take several steps to limit exposure to dust mites
Keeping indoor humidity at less than 50% will keep mold spores down. Keep sinks and tubs dry and clean, and fix leaky pipes. Empty and wash the refrigerator tray that collects water from the freezer defroster often.
Use an exhaust fan in the bathroom when you are showering. Do not let damp clothes sit in a basket or hamper.
Clean or replace shower curtains when you see mold on them. Check your basement for moisture and mold. Use a dehumidifier to keep the air dryer.
You can do a lot to eliminate exposure to mold inside and outside of your home
Keep pets outside, if possible. If pets stay inside, keep them:
Wash your pet once a week.
If you have a central air conditioning system, use a HEPA filter to remove pet allergens from indoor air. Use a vacuum cleaner with HEPA filters.
Wash your hands and change your clothes after playing with your pet.
Keep kitchen counters clean and free of food crumbs. Do not leave dirty dishes in the sink. Keep food in closed containers.
Do not let trash pile up inside. This includes bags, newspapers, and cardboard boxes.
Use roach traps. Wear a dust mask and gloves if you touch or are near rodents.
Do not use wood-burning fireplaces. If you need to burn wood, use an air-tight wood-burning stove.
Do not use perfumes or scented cleaning sprays. Use trigger sprays instead of aerosols.

Major source of NA bird information
The most complete and accessible bird-information resource for North American bird species is now available to anyone with a Hennepin County Library card. Card-holders can access the wealth of life-history information, along with photos and sound recordings, for every species of bird that breeds in North America. My printed set, bought several years ago before its Internet access was available, includes 716 species. These life histories — distribution, food habits, sounds, behavior, plumage at various stages of life, courtship, breeding and nesting, food, predators, population status, and much more — have been written by a variety of professional ornithologists. This is an incredible resource. Answer to almost any species-specific question you can imagine can be found here. You need a library card. Go to www.hclib.org, search the words North American Birds, enter your card number when requested, and there you are. The cover of the monograph for Downy Woodpecker is shown (copyright The Birds of North America, Inc., Philadelphia, PA, A. Poole and F. Gill, editors).

"Keep your feet on the ground" is excellent advice, but when the weather is cold and the ground is slippery it's not so easy to do.
And that's why the Metropolitan Library System is teaming with Integris 3rd Age Life and Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation to present "No More Slips, Trips or Broken Hips," an informational program that will show people how to avoid falling.
"Especially people who are over 65," said MLS Adult Services Coordinator Anita Roesler. "A fall can happen in a split second. Many times you don't even know you're off balance until you find yourself on the ground. The older you are, the better the chance that you're going to break something.
"People joke about those 'I've fallen and I can't get up' commercials, but the truth of the matter is that falling is no joke, especially if you break a hip. And rehabilitation can take a really long time.
The "No More Slips, Trips or Broken Hips" sessions will be held at four MLS libraries in October and November.

The breakthrough NuVinci™ Continuously Variable Planetary (CVP) transmission is the first commercially viable CVT for bicycles, and was introduced to the market in January of 2007 by Fallbrook Technologies Inc, promptly winning multiple international awards. The NuVinci CVP is a scalable platform technology with applications ranging from bicycles and light electric vehicles up to heavy trucks, agricultural tractors and utility class wind turbines. The original bicycle CVP is now being replaced by the much more advanced NuVinci N360 CVP, which will be available at retail in Q4 2010. Fallbrook has spun out Viryd to commercialize the NuVinci technology for wind power applications, where it allows capture of up to 15% more wind energy versus other variable speed wind technologies. Fallbrook has also announced a commercial partnership with Hydro-Gear to bring NuVinci technology to the lawn & garden market. Fallbrook was co-founded by '02 MSTC alum Rob Smithson, and presently employs MSTC alums Jeremy Carter, Doug Feicht, and Bruce Yeh.
As part of the State of Nuevo Leon Innovation System, the Nuevo Leon Nanotechnology Cluster is a key initiative for increasing overall state competitiveness and promoting the adoption of nanotechnology amongst its multiple industrial platforms, mainly in Monterrey. Nanotechnology is simply the next industrial revolution impacting every element of human life. The role of clusters in explaining regional economic performance has been confirmed in several studies (Porter, 2003). Clusters provide an environment that is conducive to innovation and knowledge creation. Regions with strong cluster portfolios are innovative leaders, while regions with no clusters or isolated research facilities fall behind. Globalization has increased the benefits of strong clusters and raised the costs for regions which fail to develop some level of clustering.
Clustering as an economic development policy is driven by efficiency advantages (lowered costs, including transaction costs), flexibility advantages (high mobility of labor and other resources) and innovation advantages (knowledge spillovers and cooperation). Clusters increase productivity/efficiency, stimulate and enable innovations and facilitate commercialization and new business formation. The other seven clusters (including biotech, aerospace, automotive, information technology, and medical devices) and the Parque de Investigación e Innovación Tecnológica (PIIT) – described in a recent Business Week edition focused on research parks – also comprise the state transition from "manufacturing" to "mindfacturing," attracting many international corporations and research units in the process, including a branch of the renowned IC² Institute from The University of Texas at Austin.
Jaime Acevedo graduated from the MSTC Program in 2007 and was appointed executive director of the State of Nuevo Leon Nanotechnology Cluster in May 2009. The cluster already includes several member corporations, three national research labs, two large research universities, government entities focused on innovation, technology transfer and economic development and the first nanotechnology incubator in Mexico. The incubator has five technology platforms which will be producing and functionalizing nanoparticles and nanotubes in about 10 months. "We are running very fast and are in the process of developing a new generation of businesses and entrepreneurs to produce and commercialize nanotechnology solutions globally," Acevedo reports.

Look's like there has been a major change in the medical landscape when it comes to abortion. According to a USA Today, our national abortion rate has dropped lower than ever before. A recent study also showed a 13% decline between 2008 and 2011.
Some are citing this change as a result of the recession and highly affective birth control, but Bonnie Mitchell, the CEO Of Echo's Pregnancy Care Center, says there is one other we should be aware of, "The tireless and important work of pregnancy medical clinics, such as Echos Pregnancy Care Center, across the U.S.. And just taking the time to sit with these men and women making this very important decision and giving them accurate information."
But no matter what the cause, there is definitely change in the air. Montana, like the rest of the nation, was no exception. From 1990 to 2011 we have reached nearly a 28%.decline in abortions. And with increased court rulings and state laws, Bonnie expects it will only go lower.
Regardless of this national rate, she says Echoz will always be there to help. This non-profit prides themselves on giving information, education and support to empower patients to make choice that is best for them. Bonnie explains, "Women tell us they need three things: information that they can use to make an informed decision, unpressured time to make that decision, and resources to help them carry out that decision."
If you or a loved one are facing an unplanned or difficult pregnancy, Echos will gladly offer their help. For those of you would like to reach them, their number is 727-1850.

Shot Pakistani girl tougher than Taliban
Heroic 14-year-old Pakistani girl miraculously recovers from being shot point-blank in the head by a Taliban monster trying to silence her.
Malala Yousafzai yesterday was able to stand with help for the first time — and can read and write, according to British doctors. She escaped certain death by a matter of inches — and might make "pretty much a full recovery," said Dr. Dave Rosser, medical director of Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
"She is not out of the woods yet," he added. "Having said that, she's doing very well. In fact, she was standing with some help for the first time this morning when I went in to see her."

I would like to personally give my heartfelt thanks to Congressman Bobby Schilling and state Rep. Rich Morthland. They did an outstanding job during their brief time in office.
In a state that is only behind California and going the way of Greece in terms of debt, he tried to bring some fiscal sanity to Illinois. He was able to accomplish a lot even though he was in the minority party.

January 28, 2013, 10:55 AM — There's a war going on, and it's raging here at home -- not in the streets or the fields, but on the Internet. You can think of it as a war on the digital homeland. If you work for a power company, bank, defense contractor, transportation provider, or other critical infrastructure type of operation, your organization might be in the direct line of fire. And everyone can become collateral damage.
A cyber war has been brewing for at least the past year, and although you might view this battle as governments going head to head in a shadow fight, security experts say the battleground is shifting from government entities to the private sector, to civilian targets that provide many essential services to U.S. citizens.

The cyber war has seen various attacks around the world, with incidents such as Stuxnet, Flame, and Red October garnering attention. Some attacks have been against government systems, but increasingly likely to attack civilian entities. U.S. banks and utilities have already been hit.
"The cyber war has been under way in the private sector for the past year," says Israel Martinez, a board member of the U.S. National Cyber Security Council, a nonprofit group composed of federal government and private sector executives.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - An Alabama-based religious broadcasting organization is reviewing its options after a federal judge dismissed its lawsuit challenging part of the new federal health care law.
U.S. District Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn threw out the lawsuit filed the Irondale-based Eternal Word Television Network in February. The judge says the issue isn't ready for court because rules are still changing.
The Roman Catholic broadcasting empire sued over requirements that employee health care insurance must provide coverage for contraception and other services for women. Leaders say the rules violate Catholic teachings.
Network chief executive Michael Warsaw says the network is consulting its lawyers about what to do next.
Eternal Word has studios in metro Birmingham and provides programming available in more than 225 million households worldwide.

Arizona Cardinals
NFL analyst: Todd Haley deserves a second chance
It was reported Thursday that the Arizona Cardinals had asked the Pittsburgh Steelers for permission to interview offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
Haley, who held the same title in Arizona from 2007-2008 before leaving to be the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, is a candidate for the Arizona vacancy.
ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworksi, as a guest of Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo, thinks Haley would be a good choice, even after struggling with the Chiefs.
"Clearly, I think coaches, as head coaches the first time, they learn an awful lot," Jaworski said. "You can be overwhelmed by it, and I personally believe guys are much better the second time around.
"They know the pitfalls of being the guy in charge."
Haley compiled a 19-26 record in less than three full seasons with the Chiefs, guiding them to the postsesaon in 2010 before struggling the next year. He was fired 13 games into the 2011 campaign, and has spent just one season in Pittsburgh.
"Todd Haley is a very good football coach," Jaworski said, noting that he did struggle in Kansas City. "I will guarantee you this: he will be better prepared to take his next job."

I analyze the gendered politics of representation across a wide archive of mostly discredited cultural texts, including non-canonical nineteenth-century transatlantic women's literature and contemporary media, specifically literature, film, and television. As it relates to these texts I have particular interest in how the materiality of the body is discursively constructed through written and mediated means, as well as how gender, sex, sexuality, race, and class work together to inform notions of the "normative" self. Interestingly, "celebrity" and masculinity have become important themes offering a framework for coherency across the many modalities in which I work.

The pilot flying a Bombardier Dash 8-400 lost control of the aircraft on Feb. 12, 2014 during the landing flare at Belfast City Airport after his prosthetic arm became detached during the maneuver. With insufficient time to put his arm back in place, the captain with UK regional airline Flybe removed his right hand from the power levers to control the yoke. Some engine power therefore remained applied during the flare, resulting in a bounce and a hard landing. No one on board the twin turboprop was injured.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is seeking comments on last week's NPRM to change portions of Part 831, which governs its investigation procedures, by organizing them into mode-specific subparts to make the rules easier to access and consult. The Board also plans to update some terms used in the regulations.
The U.S. helicopter safety team (USHST) has begun a recruitment drive to convince more helicopter safety experts to join its efforts to reduce accidents and fatalities in the industry. The USHST comprises members from both industry and government focused on safety management, training, maintenance and safety technology.
The crew of a Beech 1900C and the handling controller were both responsible for a controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) accident, according to the NTSB's recently released final report. The twin turboprop was on an IFR Part 135 cargo flight in IMC on March 8, 2013, and was 10 miles east of Aleknagik, Alaska, when the accident happened. Both pilots were killed.
More than 100 people attended Bell Helicopter's Latin America regional safety symposium for rotorcraft pilots and technicians, held August 11 at the São Paulo World Trade Center in Brazil. The event, which coincided with the annual Latin American Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition, highlighted Bell's support of the International Helicopter Safety Team's mission to establish partnerships in countries with significant helicopter operations and encourage development of safety interventions.
Eduardo Campos, a political contender for the Brazilian presidency, was one of seven people who died when a Brazilian-registered Cessna Citation XLS+ crashed on August 13. The aircraft was preparing to land at a military field in the coastal city of Guarujá 53 miles southeast of São Paulo. Early reports said the aircraft was attempting to go around after an approach in rainy, windy weather when it struck the ground, damaging several homes.
The FAA on August 14 released its final solicitation for a new Center of Excellence (COE) for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) tasked with identifying current and future issues critical to the safe integration of UAS into the nation's airspace. These issues include detect-and-avoid technology, control and communications, low-altitude operations safety, compatibility with ATC operations and training and certification of UAS pilots and other crewmembers. The agency will support this new COE with at least $500,000 per year over the next 10 years.
The NTSB's August 13 factual report of the Nov. 20, 2013 crash of a Mitsubishi MU-2B while on approach to Tulsa International Airport in Oklahoma offered only a single potential clue into anything unusual by mentioning that the left engine's fuel shutoff valve was in the closed position. Investigators added that they did not detect any other anomalies with either engine. The accident claimed the life of Dr. Perry Inhofe, son of U.S. Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.). Dr.
Priester Aviation has been awarded both Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF) and Wyvern Wingman certification. The ACSF certification uses accredited, independent auditors to evaluate aircraft management and jet charter companies' compliance and safety protocols.

EagleMed has installed an automated weather observing system at Eagle Pass, Texas, that will allow the air medical operator's fixed-wing aircraft to serve patients in the San Antonio region during inclement weather. EagleMed bases a King Air C90 at San Marcos, Texas, to serve the Eagle Pass area. The new weather system will also serve EagleMed's sister companies, AirEvac Lifeteam and Reach, which base medically outfitted helicopters at Eagle Pass, Pearsall, Carrizo Springs and Laredo.

Fendi to fund Trevi Fountain restoration
Italian luxury brand Fendi have announced they will sponsor the restoration of Rome's Trevi Fountain, with speculation rife a giant fashion show will be staged in front of the iconic landmark in 2015.
Fendi will fund the restoration of Rome's Trevi Fountain.
The fashion house have pledged their commitment to revamping the Italian capital's most historic fountains, including the beautiful landmark famed for visitors' tradition of tossing a coin into its waters.
The restoration is thought to culminate with a giant Fendi fashion show staged in front of the tourist hotspot in 2015 to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the luxury brand.
Pietro Beccari, Fendi's chief executive, said in a statement: ''We are proud of being tied to the city, but I believe not everyone knows, and this is a great occasion to do something for the city that hosts us. Rome is a home of Made in Italy. There's an incredible savoir faire, but as well it's a source of inspiration for many.''
A press conference held by Silvia Fendi, Pietro and mayor Gianni Alemanno is planned for this afternoon (28.01.13) to announce specifics of the four-year Fendi for Fountains scheme.
Chanel's creative mastermind Karl Lagerfeld is expected to attend and WWD reports that a special photo book shot by the designer will go on sale later this year.

A Minnesota State Patrol trooper hit by a suspected drunk driver Saturday night is telling his story of survival.
Trooper Allen Thill was one of five emergency responders at the scene of a rollover crash at interstate 494 and 35W. Troopers even closed the ramp to keep the situation as safe as possible, but their precautions were still not enough to stop a drunk driver.
"The guy just drove right in through the flares and right into the crash scene," said State Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske.
Investigators said 39-year-old Maurice Blevins, of Richfield, Minn., came down the ramp and sideswiped one squad before directly rear-ending another.
"It was impressive, the extent of the damage sustained to my car," Thill said.
Both troopers were sitting in the drivers' seats at the time.
"I did not see it coming," Thill added.
Thill still had his seat belt on when he was struck.
"It was just one loud crash. Next thing I know, I was pushed forward in a cloud of dust," Thill recalled."
Thill was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center, where he was treated and released. The other trooper wasn't hurt.
"With the amount of emergency vehicles and flares and everything, for them to drive right through all of them and hit two squad cars just shows the dangers of alcohol," Roeske said. "No one is safe."
Thill has been a trooper for two years, and he said this was his first time being hit on the job.
"I believe that we did everything proper," he said, looking back. "We positioned our squads in such positions where people should have saw us at quite a distance out."
Thill said he hopes the crash will serve as a warning to others and as a reminder to move over and slow down for emergency vehicles.
"I'm very thankful that I'm talking to you guys today," he said. "It could have been a lot worse for everyone involved."
Blevins had three passengers in his car. His girlfriend told FOX 9 News all three were his children, including a 14-year-old and an 11-year-old. None were injured.
Officials say Blevins will likely be charged with criminal vehicular operation.

New this year will be a children's fair sponsored by the Metro Community Action Partnership to be held at the conclusion of the Walk in Waterfront Park. The children's fair will feature jugglers, clowns, a fire engine and non-competitive games.
Thursday May 20 will also mark the first day of this year's Gray Street Farmers market, which will be held at 400 E. Gray St. on Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. from May 20 to October 28. Since the market opening coincides with Walk on the Waterfront, four vendors will be set up from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. to help provide an opportunity for students and teachers to talk with farmers about where their food comes from. Additional vendors will set up once the walk begins and Gray St. has been cleared of walkers.

An unlikely hero stepped forward to hit a critical three-point shot for the Homestead Spartans with 5:12 to play in the fourth period Saturday night at the Teepee and the shot propelled the Spartans to a 57-42 Northeast Hoosier Conference boys basketball win over the Bellmont Braves.
A report by and about the Park Center counseling business in Decatur was given at the January meeting of the Adams County Council, since Park Center gets an annual $172,116 subsidy from the county.
Paul Wilson, chief executive officer of Park Center, and Tonya Eiden, the manager of the Decatur office, gave the following figures about the agency's operations here from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010:
• 670 clients seen.
• 6,513 services provided to those clients.
Ideal Suburban Homes and Ideal Realty has been named recipient of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce's Large Business of the Year award, while the Small Business of the Year winner is Rebecca Cochran's certified public accounting firm.
Both will be honored at the organization's annual meeting on Thursday, February 3, at the Knights of Columbus pavilion.
Reservations for the Chamber event must be made by January 25 by calling the office, 724-2604. Tickets are $25.

WOODBURN — South Adams had three champions and all 14 wrestlers placed Saturday as the No. 19 Starfires captured the ACAC Wrestling Tourney title with 221.5 points to the 190 of Garrett and 186.5 of Adams Central.
The tourney win gives the Starfires the outright ACAC wrestling championship as it goes along with the 7-0 record for the Stars in the ACAC dual-meet competition.
MONROE — Adams Central's girls basketball team played lock-down defense against Leo to score a huge 50-44 upset in the ACAC game played Saturday at Central, reversing a 36-point loss to the Lady Lions just nine days ago in the ACAC tourney.
"We held a pretty good shooting team to 29 percent and our girls put on a tremendous effort to out-rebound a much bigger 37-29," stated Central Coach Sam Beer.
FORT WAYNE — Homestead assured itself of at least a share of the Northeast Hoosier Conference title in girls basketball Friday night belting out an 81-55 victory over the Bellmont Squaws at the Spartans gym.
The win for Homestead moved them to 15-2 on the season and 6-0 in the NHC. Their last conference contest is next weekend against DeKalb (8-7, 3-2) but the Spartans have already defeated pre-season favorite Norwell (15-1, 5-1). Bellmont fell to 1-5 in NHC action and is 7-9 for the year.
BLUFFTON — Ten days ago, Adams Central got field goals and free throws late in the game to seal a long-sought victory over Bluffton, 59-54.
Last night, it was the homestanding Tigers who got late baskets and foul shots to ice a 50-41 win that was also a key conference victory.
Most of the sports talk-show "experts" feel that the Green Bay Packers' Rodgers is the best of the four quarterbacks remaining in the NFL playoffs, and that the Packers will walk into Soldier Field Sunday and sack the Bears, earning a Super Bowl spot.
Okay, Rodgers has a year of experience on the Jets' Mark Sanchez. He's better than the unpredictable Jay Cutler of Chicago. But better than Ben (I've done my penance) Roethlisberger of Pittsburgh, who has a pair of the gaudy rings? I don't think so.

This conversation is closed.
Evolution only applies to the bodies of humans, not their souls. Natural selection only explains the adaptation of species.
The science of biology includes the metaphysical concepts of form (soul) and matter (body) because it is necessary to exclude free will and other functions of the human mind from evolutionary biology. Materialists think that the soul is just an idea, but religious people think the human soul is spiritual.
Many laymen think that natural selection explains common descent, but PhDs in biology know the limits of Darwinism. In my narrated YouTube video/slideshow ("The Truth About Evolution and Religion" at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKaF8vX6HXQ) I give quotes from peer-reviewed articles to prove my point.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jan 7 2012: I'm a biologist (and a PhD). What is a soul? I've never seen one or seen any evidence that we have one. I'm pretty sure that dead people have influence - e.g. Socrates, Darwin, Jesus, Mohammed but when you are dead, you are dead.
What is free will? Organisms (such as we are) move through life being faced with choices. What they choose is infuenced by their internal state, the options available, advice from, or actions of, those around them and societal norms. Christianity is just one big norm, one of many that influence the way in which people behave. Christianity is a product of humanity and the codes of behaviour that it espouses are common to many other civilizations across the world.
There are no gods, no life after death and no such thing as a soul. Get over it and get on with your wonderful life.
David RoemerJan 7 2012: Body (matter) and soul (form) are correlative metaphysical principles that explain why humans are equal to each other, but superior to animals.
Free will can't be defined. It is not a scientific concept. We know we have free will because we can make ourselves the subject of our own knowledge. Hence, humans are embodied spirits and the human soul is spiritual.
Humans are also finite beings because other humans exist. Finite beings need a cause. If every being in the universe needed a cause, the universe would not be intelligible. Hence, an infinite being exists. In the West, we call the infinite being God.
Jan 7 2012: . . and so it starts. Step 1) We are superior to animals because of some fairy-tale and a book of stories chosen by politicians a long time ago. Step 2) We (theists) are superior to other people who don't think like we do or believe in our fairy tales. Step 3) Righteous war (or Jihad).
If it can't be defined to all intents and purposes, it doesn't exist. Science is the fundamental language of explanation of facts. You like to think you have free will. You have options. The last sentence isn't a logical progression. The problem is that science is hard and that when you use it to define concepts such as love or beauty you have to go back to first principles (it gets a bit boring if you try to do that for everything - our cultural shorthand for these things is easier). I love Bach and Leo Kottke but while I'm aware that there will be a scientific explanation, I don't feel the need to delve that deep. I'm happy just to sit back and enjoy the music.
Your cause is to survive and reproduce. The rest of paragraph three is gobbledegook. My advice, not based on any fairy tales - give your kids a good start in life and be nice to people so that your kids have a chance of growing up in a nice world.
George Carlin has a great take on this stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeSSwKffj9o
Jan 11 2012: Do animals or humans have free will? I guess there has been plenty written on the former.
At the outset I would suggest free will (or not) in no way implies there are souls or spirits (or not). Although there are perhaps some contradictions with religious type beliefs if there is not free will.
Humans make apparently conscious choices at a practical level. Are they predetermined. If we had a great enough understanding of the brain, biology, physics, chemistry, behaviour, psychology etc could we predict every decision and action an individual would make. Perhaps. But this may require understanding every relevant experience a person has had that has shaped their brain or consciousness and unconsciousness involved in the decision, their current state etc. These experiences may involve other conscious beings. Suggest we are a long way from being able to identify and predict every conscious and unconscious action/decision.
We can already make gross predictions. Mock a prophet - predict a response.
On a simple human scale I make choices and have practical free will. It really doesn't matter that much to me if which enough knowledge down to a quantum level my decisions are predictable.
If we photocopied the universe as it is today a 1000 times, would the human copies all make the same choices? Would the physical environment, every blade of grass, every atom, every electron, every subatomic particle or string, be exactly the same in a years time in every copy?
I don't know but at a quantum level, chaos and all that make me lean towards divergence.
Suggest there is a continuum of animal free will. A single cell organism is probably incapable of making conscious decisions and choices. But suggest different individual dogs of the same species will make different decisions in the same situation, again dependent in part of their experience and current state etc.
Of course our brain/intellect opens up more choices to us. A wider world of free choice
Jan 10 2012: Metaphysics looks like the remnants of a pre scientific time to me.
My opinion, we are animals, just with a more developed brain than the others on this planet, no such thing as a soul or spirit. When our brain stops working and our body dies, no more consciousness, no more us, oblivion, just like other animals.
Suggest if we somehow had only current scientific and no left over religious concepts floating around society from our more ignorant past we wouldn't develop such widely held belief in immortal, non matter, non energy, spirits.
Agree, that no one knows anything for sure on this topic but souls/spirits, just in humans, seems more speculative than a biological approach.
David, if they did exist, how would you know that souls don't evolve. Without relying on a particular religious dogma, how do you know the soul creator didn't create the first souls and all the others are derivative with a soul DNA.
Suggest some belief systems indicate souls can learn and develop in repeating carnations. How do you know the some souls aren't living many times.
Are the souls sitting around in a waiting room waiting for our birth or do they come into being on conception. Do souls only exist while we live or do they go on.
How do you know we have souls. How do you know other animals don't. How do you know how souls work other than fitting your metaphysical world view.
Curious where/how you think the concept of souls originated? I mean we can see our bodies, play around and understand our our brains work, emotions, personality, perceptions etc. We can detect energy. Again the whole concept of a soul and most of metaphysics seems to relate back to old belief systems developed in relative ignorance and never with any evidence. A whole framework related to imaginary concepts that can not be proven, measured etc just ideas.
Jan 10 2012: Do animals have free will? If yes, how do you know? If no, what is free will? Rational people judge that we have free will because of three bits of evidence:
1) It is clear we have it when we do something that takes a lot of will power, like sticking to a diet.
2) People who say it is an illusion, live their lives as if they had free will.
3) People who say it is an illusion have poor reasoning skills. They are like a person who is collecting minerals and arranging them according to their color. He builds a chest of drawers and labels the drawers one of the colors of the rainbow. He puts a red mineral in the red drawer, the green mineral in the green drawer, etc. One day he finds a white mineral, and he says, "White minerals don't exist."
ethan langerJan 7 2012: Magnus, " I'm a biologist (and a PhD). What is a soul?" Your degrees are proof of knowledge, not wisdom..
The soul is the psyche. The mind. It can be seen as the electromagnetic field; it has been seen as the aura and photographed via Kirlian methods. Though it is not tangible, you experience it nonetheless. Emotions aren't tangible, yet we experience them, do we not?
Jan 7 2012: I'm not sure that letters before or after your name prove anything except (in the case of a Phd) perhaps tenacity - I was merely making a point in response to Davids initial note.
You contradict yourself Ethan - you tell me that we can see the electromagnetic field of the brain and then tell me its not tangible. Is the soul an electromagnetic field then? Can we detect how much of a sinner someone is using a magnet? Could be useful at airports I guess.
Emotions are tangible - biochemically and made obvious via our bodily and facial expressions. Guilt for example is a chemical response to deviation from a norm.
Using your implicit definition of tangible, a vacuum is not tangible (nor an electron, proton, atom etc) but we can prove its existence using science. If anyone proves the existence of some all powerful deity that gives a jot about humanity using logic and science I'll start saving for an asbestos coffin.
Jan 7 2012: QUOTE: "The soul is the psyche."
The etymology may coincide but, in common parlance, the soul and the psyche are no longer considered the same thing. Of course, they CAN mean the same thing but often do not.
The psyche refers to the mind (conscious and unconscious) and the soul has come to mean that part of a being, human or not, that would be "immaterial" and is often considered to be eternal.

Jan 7 2012: Hi Magnus,
You say, "There are no gods, no life after death and no such thing as a soul. Get over it and get on with your wonderful life."
There is no way you can know what happens after we die, unless you have died and come back [this is exactly what I say to people who say there is life after death.]
We cannot prove there is no God.
Nor can we prove there is no soul.
I'm not quite sure why we tend to "need" certainty. The religious/spiritual/metaphysical folks, for the most part, think they know there is life after death. They don't.
Rationalist, in large part, think they know there is no life after death. They don't.
You also say, "If it can't be defined to all intents and purposes, it doesn't exist." This is not valid. There are things that cannot be defined and yet exist; and there are things that can be defined and do not exist.
Does consciousness exist? Can it be defined?
Does a thought exist?
God and soul have both been defined. Do they exist?
Why is it we have such a hard time saying, "I don't know?"
This is good advise: "Get over it and get on with your wonderful life."
Jan 7 2012: Hi Thomas,
I completely agree, "Why do we have such a problem with ""I don't know"" . Trying to explain "I don't knows" with mythology is what irritates me.
I watched our living-room fire go out tonight, while my wife and I chatted. It went out. The fire is dead. Do you have a problem understanding that? So why have a problem with an organism dying? Chemically, its a pretty similar process.
cheers and peace, Magnus
Jan 8 2012: QUOTE: "Trying to explain "I don't knows" with mythology is what irritates me."
Hi Magnus,
It irritates me too. Maybe "irritates" is too strong a word but, for example, I do tend to respond to assertions that the Bible is inerrant, or that we know what happens after we die, and so on.
I have no problem when people say they believe this or that; but when they say this or that is absolutely true, then I often take exception and challenge the belief.
When it comes to the "I don't knows" ... I accept anything as at least possible. Even the "weird stuff" like the possibility I could walk through a wall.
It IS possible (according to the laws of quantum mechanics) but the probability of it happening is so remote that to have any real chance of it happening once, we would have to wait for much, much longer than the universe has existed.
So is it possible there is something that survives death?
Does anyone know?
It's possible. But extremely unlikely.
When questioned, anyone I have ever asked has ultimately said they believe they know. However, some have elevated their belief to the realm of "knowing."
They might base their belief on a near death experience, or on some interpretation of religious doctrine, or on remembered past lives, and so on.
There are much better, and more plausible, explanations for all of these than having to postulate a life after death.
But, no matter ...
We simply do not know one way or the other.
[Unless we do, and as I have said, I hold that open as a possibility too.]

With just days to go until the registration deadline for the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC) at the end of September, Gregory Barker, the climate change minister is calling for radical reform of this much maligned scheme.
This is welcome news, that the new government can plainly see the scheme is far too complex and costly and Gregory Barker is bold enough to consider making significant changes in order to achieve the aims of the scheme, but with much less burden on firms, as they continue to recover from the recession.
I hear from the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC), that the whole scheme is up for review, but there may be a particular focus on simplifying the way in which an organisation defines itself and making it easier for those organisations to opt out of the scheme, if some of their sites are caught by other climate change legislation.
Another simple change the minister should consider is not requiring firms that aren't even in the scheme to pay nearly a thousand pounds, just to confirm this. That is without the administrative burden that this un-necessary task imposes on those organisations.
If this is the way that DECC is moving, then perhaps we are closer now to a climate change policy landscape that is cost effective, that aims to achieve realistic goals at least cost and does not undermine the competitiveness of UK/EU manufacturing sectors. Something that EEF has been calling for and I hope that now, something that government is alive to.

Hrynko's runner in the lane with four seconds left gave DePaul (16-5, 5-2 Big East) a 57-55 win over the Panthers.
DePaul has won 11 straight at home.
Pitt, coming into this game having lost six straight and not having won a Big East game since February 15, 2011, surely had memories of how close it came to beating the Blue Demons last year, an 86-83 DePaul win. And for almost forty minutes tonight, those memories must have been good. And then they turned nightmarish.
The Panthers fought back from a seven point deficit with 2:27 left in the game to tie with fifty five seconds left.
DePaul coach Doug Bruno also must have had some nightmares during that final 2:27 as his team missed three free throws during that stretch.
Two free throws by Pitt's Marquel Davis cut DePaul's lead to 55-53 with thirty four seconds left.
Hrynko then moved into the minus column.
She had her pass to Katherine Harry near mid court stolen by Loliya Briggs, who fed Ashlee Anderson for an uncontested lay up to tie the score at 55 with twelve seconds left.
"We always want to get better at the end of the game, and if we knocked some free throws down and played with a little more basketball wisdom, then it was not even a necessity for Brittany to go coast-to-coast to create a highlight shot at the end of the game," Bruno said.
Hrynko then moved into the plus column.
She took the inbounds pass from Harry, drove the length of the court, veered to the right side in the lane and hit an off balance six foot runner off the glass with 4.2 seconds left.
"Coach told us in the huddle that we needed a basket and that he was not going to draw a play up," Hrynko said. "I knew a jump shot was not going to cut it. Going to the basket was my first choice."
Hrynko finished with 19 points and two steals.
Brianna Kiesel's thirty footer with :04 left was high and long off the glass.
DePaul is playing at this point in the season with the Magnificent Seven version 2.0. Hrynko and fellow guard Chanise Jenkins both played forty minutes Tuesday night. Katherine Harry logged 37 minutes.
Harry, third in the Big East in double doubles, recorded another one tonight with 12 points and a game-high 14 rebounds.
But more than numbers for Harry tonight was her vocal leadership on the court, something Bruno applauded both vocally and physically after the game.
"The leadership that Katherine demonstrated tonight was huge."
"I was telling [my teammates] that we needed to get one stop on defense and get one rebound," Harry said. "We knew we had to continue to make stops down the stretch and one-and-out them. I was just trying to keep everybody into the game."
Harry's jumper in the first half moved her into 24th place all-time at DePaul in scoring.
"This [win] is going to help us down the stretch that we got out of it alive," said Bruno.
And in the first half, it did not look like DePaul would get out alive.
The Blue Demons, eleventh in the country in assist to turnover ratio at 1:17, had 3 assists and 12 turnovers in the opening half.
DePaul did not score in the final 6:13 of the first half as Pitt scored the final six points to move ahead 25-24 at the break. This was the Blue Demons' third lowest first half point output this year.
But just as the minutes were there for DePaul, so were the numbers.
Chanise Jenkins finished with nine points and six rebounds. Freshman Megan Podkowa, making her second straight start in place of injured Anna Martin, scored seven points, grabbed three rebounds, and had two assists. Kelsey Reynolds added four points, including a key basket in the second half, to go along with three rebounds.
Pitt (9-11, 0-7 Big East) was led by Asia Logan's 15 points.
DePaul travels to Marquette this Saturday for a 7:00 CST tip off.
