DISH Network Hopper and Whole-Home DVR Service
You haven't experienced the best in whole-home DVR until you've used the Hopper from DISH Network. The award-winning Hopper, Hopper with Sling and Hopper 3 offer powerful DVR functionality and let you share recordings between any HD TV in your home by communicating with a client receiver, the Joey. The Joey is installed on each television in the home and gives you the same TV user interface as the Hopper. Up to three Joey receivers (four TVs) can communicate with a single Hopper and can be installed on both an HD and SD television (SD video output is RCA composite video only).
Combined, the Hopper HD DVR and Joey receivers create a whole-home solution that lets DISH customers easily record, pause and play back shows from any room in the home.

The Harlequin Duck is simultaneously the most beautiful and one of the most odd-looking species of waterfowl in North America, so there is no wonder it is a species high on most birder's 'Most Wanted' lists. Well if you live on the east coast, one of the best places to see this wonderful little duck is at Barnegat Light in NJ. During the winter months, there can be anywhere from a handful to 20 or 30 of these clown-like ducks foraging right along the jetty at Barnegat, allowing you to watch them at incredibly close range. Being so close to these birds at Barnegat allows you to get an up-close look at their social interactions and also hear their squeaky calls, which has gotten them the nickname 'Sea Mouse'. The following is a collection of photos that I have taken of Harlequin Ducks at Barnegat, celebrating their unique and strangely charming appearance.

Kitchen Cabinet
In the White House, Chef Sam Kass Makes Dinner--and Healthy-Eating Policy
Despite the modest quarters, "I'm awed every time I come to work," says Kass, the newest of nine White House chefs. He arrived in January at the invitation of Michelle Obama, who had hired him as a personal chef years ago in Chicago to break her busy family's reliance on takeout. Now he is doing something unprecedented for the White House residence staff: trying to get the whole country to eat better. With the title of "food initiative coordinator," Kass, 29, is the first chef to have a desk in the East Wing, among Mrs. Obama's policy team. "There are all sorts of obstacles to feeding kids in a healthy way. The First Lady asked if I would help work on those issues. It's an unbelievable opportunity."
So far that has included discussing school-lunch legislation with the Agriculture Department, planting vegetables on the South Lawn and leading kids on garden tours, sending them off with the exhortation: "Study hard! Eat your vegetables!"
But what most sets this former history major apart from others who have worn a White House toque may be his friendship with the Obamas. "You want unprecedented?" asks Walter Scheib, chef for Presidents Clinton and Bush. "The domestic staff playing golf with the President, that's unprecedented."
Kass, who trained for two years under a top Viennese chef and cooked at Chicago's Avec before becoming a personal chef, says the Obamas like "nothing fancy." Dinner might be tacos or burgers, he says--but with lean beef and low-sugar ketchup. The President "is a vegetable lover." And, by the First Lady's directive, dessert is served only on weekends. Pies are big, and Kass expects several for Thanksgiving. Usually Mrs. Obama's mom, Marian Robinson, does a dish or two. "Mrs. Robinson can throw down," he says. "She cooks with the best of them."
Before the holiday the small kitchen will turn out some 140 plates for the Obamas' first state dinner, honoring India on Nov. 24. Kass hopes to serve salad from the garden, but on that night, he's mainly there to assist executive chef Cristeta Comerford. "I'll be chopping carrots. It's not glamorous."
Even less so is the picture this single guy paints of his personal life. "My fridge is empty," says Kass, adding with a laugh that no one cooks for chefs, except their mothers. On his day off, he leaves Sunday dinner to his mom, who lives in the D.C. area and specializes in stuffed shells. "Chefs appreciate anybody who will put in the effort. Boil an egg and I'm happy."

Product Description
We have met the enemies and they are our children. Well, perhaps not OUR children, and that's the problem: they are the offspring of aliens who secretly impregnated human women. That's the riveting premise of Village of the Damned, a science-fiction classic rife with paranoia and set in England's Midwich. There, the glow-eyed humanoids develop at an alarming rate and use astonishing powers of mind to assert their supremacy. Woe to parents or anyone who defies them. Yet one intrepid soul (George Sanders) does. It's "yesterday Midwich, tomorrow the world" in the sequel Children of the Damned. Unusually gifted youngsters who might be a leap forward in human evolution are brought from around the globe to England for scientific study - and then the terror hits with full force. Children, behave!]]>
Children of the Damned follows up with a story about six more creepy kids, brought from all over the globe to huddle in a old church in London. An excellent opening half-hour gets bogged down in the movie's global-political ambitions (it's very much a cold war offering), but it has its share of shivery moments--the sight of the six youngsters striding down a London street as though they controlled the world is a chiller. But where's the blond hair? The two films are different in tone; Village feels like a fifties sci-fi offering, with an old-school star (George Sanders) and classical style; Children is a film of the sixties, with hipper techniques, urban setting, and young actors Ian Hendry and Alan Badel. But both have those damned kids. --Robert Horton

BOWLING GREEN, Ky (WBKO) -- An Allen county woman plead guilty today to prescription drug related charges.
According to the U.S. Attorney's office, Lynn Harper Denton pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and sell over $5,000 worth of the prescription painkiller, hydrocodone.
According to the plea agreement, between May and October of 2012, Denton conspired with two others to distribute the drug.
Denton admitted to stealing over 10,000 hydrocodone pills from her employer, Stovall's Prescription Shop, in Scottsville, and selling them to Katherine Virginia Rookstool, who then sold them to Jeffrey Clay Stinson. Stinson then sold the pills to others.
Stinson pleaded guilty to federal charges and is awaiting sentencing.
Rookstool has an April 21st trial date.
The retail value of the stolen hydrocodone is almost $30,000.
Denton faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison, a $750,000 fine, and five years of supervised release.

Photos: Peyton Manning's tribute corn maze is amazing -- but John Elway got one first
Yes, Peyton Manning has been immortalized in corn, thanks to the LaSalle-based Fritzler family, whose elaborate corn mazes have been a Colorado tradition for a dozen years. The Peyton maze opens to visitors tomorrow (click here for more details) -- but longtime Fritzler fans know he wasn't the first Bronco to have an a-maze-ing transformation. See details below.
A page on the Frizler's website traces the history of the mazes, complete with images of each year's masterpiece. Here are those shots, complete with descriptions from the timeline.
Appropriately enough, the Fritzler's inaugural maze, in 2000, saluted the Broncos....
...while the 2001 version did likewise, sort of.
The 2002 maze, created post-9/11, struck a patriotic theme.
Then, in 2003, the family got personal, lauding John Elway several years after he retired, and one year before he was officially inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The 2004 maze is among the most ambitious the Fritzlers have attempted -- a recreation of the World War II flag-raising on Iwo Jima.
Different kinds of heroes were spotlighted by the 2005 maze: Elvis Presley and Ray Charles.
Continue to see the most recent mazes, plus a video of the Peyton Manning version. In 2006, the Fritzlers were in the money -- via a field-sized version of a Colorado state quarter.
Back to music in 2007, via a likeness of country singer Chris LeDoux.
For 2008, Glen Fritzler tipped his hat, corn-wise, to his parents.
In 2009, the Fritzlers were off to see the Wizard.
In 2010, America again got her due....
...and last year struck a similar theme.
Still, the Peyton maze may be getting more attention than any of its predecessors. Here's a look at it from the air, courtesy of Fox31.

Ratings for Dr. Michael Gombatz
This doctor is a great doctor I will recommend any body to him
He was assigned through the courts and his final report is sloppy. There are a lot of confused facts and names of people involved- for both parties involved. He didn't bother to review my ex's psychiatric records and he was condescending and disbelieving of me. The expense was not worth it and I found his bedside manner to be poor. I don't understand why the courts would continue to use someone who is so clearly biased and lacking in detail.
He is one of the most experienced and nice doctor I have ever met.
Very unprofessional. I would not recommend the services of this man.
DO NOT USE THIS Doctor IF you are a woman! My EX was able to lie to him about me and THIS DOCTOR BELIEVED HIM!
Very abrasive, cold and unprofessional. Stay away. Take the time to look for a good doctor!
Totally ignored my wife and was rude to her. Not very understanding, patient or compassionate. One visit was enough to know it wasn't worth the time or money.
Terrible. He does not appear to have any real interest in the practices and process required to truly understand and address issues. Not pleased at all with his services.
Find someone else. This man should not be practicing. If you've read any good reviews about him it is because he wrote them himself. Any patient that has seen him will have nothing good to say.
Very compassionate and experienced. Child suffered from school phobia. After sessions with Dr. Gombatz,his confidence increased and his anxiety greatly reduced. He does required the family to follow up and do appropriate "homework." We had to make some changes. Would highly recommend him. His office is in his home and on cold nights, the fireplace in his office was comforting. I referred my sister and her family, and they thought he was great.

The loading of induction machines for the purpose of determining the electrical and mechanical performance of a machine at rated temperature and load has presented problems for both manufacturers and users as machine sizes have outstripped the capacity of conventional dynamometers. A number of techniques has been developed that electrically load the stator and, indirectly, the rotor but not all users have been convinced that the rotor heating and mechanical vibration are the same as expected under a full mechanical and electrical load. This paper shows that the stator and rotor temperature rises are close to direct loading and that the vibration is similar for an alternate method of loading called the forward stall method. At the same time other methods are presented and compared

Vaccines Health Center
Adult Immunizations: What You Need
In this article
For many of us, becoming an adult means leaving behind the trappings of our youth, but immunizations are not necessarily one of them. Many of the vaccinations we had as children need to be repeated as adults to maintain proper immunity. And just as adulthood brings a new set of responsibilities, being an adult can also require a new set of immunizations.
Why Do You Need Adult Immunizations?
Many of the vaccines we received as children to create immunities to infectious diseases last a lifetime, but not all of them. For example, tetanus and diphtheria vaccines need to be updated with a new vaccine and then with booster shots every 10 years to maintain immunity. There are other reasons why adult immunizations may be necessary:
- Some adults never received immunizations as children.
- Vaccine recommendations and vaccines change over the years. Certain vaccines may not have been available when some adults were children.
- Immunity can begin to fade over time.
- As we age, we become more susceptible to serious disease caused by common infections like the flu.
- As an adult we may work in the health care field or other profession that puts us at risk for contact with infectious diseases.
Which Adult Immunizations Do You Need?
There have been several updates in adult vaccine recommendations since the last set of guidelines were released. One of the most notable: the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine be given to all adult females through the age of 26. Guidelines for males are similar, calling for vaccinations of males aged 13 through 21 years who were not been previously vaccinated. Vaccination is also recommended for males through age 26 who have sex with other men and for those whose immune system may be compromised. Other significant changes include:
- The ACIP now suggests that adults without evidence of prior immunity to chickenpox receive the varicella vaccine. Special consideration should be given to:
- Those at high risk for infection or transmission, such as health care workers and teachers.
- Those who are in close contact with people at high risk of infection.
- Family and others who come in contact with people with compromised immune systems.
- Those at high risk for infection or transmission, such as health care workers and teachers.
Shingles, the adult form of chickenpox, can be a very painful and debilitating disease. People aged 60 years and over and people without without evidence of immunity who are known to be at risk of exposure should be vaccinated against shingles.
- The ACIP also recommends one or more doses of the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine (MMR) be administered to adults in certain age groups and with certain risk factors. Adults born before 1957 can be considered immune to measles and mumps.
- Hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for adults seeking protection from hepatitis B exposure. Any adult working in high-risk environments like STD clinics or drug rehab centers, should be vaccinated for Hepatitis B. Health care workers, public safety workers, household contacts, and sexual partners of persons with chronic hepatitis B should also receive the hepatitis B vaccine.

About Ian Cocklin
I have been producing Digital & Art Photography for clients for a number of years now. My experience of digital image manipulation, and photo restoriation goes back almost 10 years. You can view my Flickr River images here :- http://www.flickriver.com/photos/iancocklin/
Being based on the spectacular and ever changing Cornish coast is a photographer�s paradise. The scenery, weather and marine life enable me to experiment and continually develop my skill and style resulting in the unique and stunning images my clients ask for.
The colourful and creative diversity of the Cornish culture lends itself to the spontaneity and freedom that digital photography allows. Art Photography is a creative and invaluable media when used to capture and preserve such diversity of the county�s people and history. There is a wonderful sense of community among the Cornish people not least among photographers.
The opportunity to work with and learn from a variety of skilled and artistic photographers is both a privilege and contributing factor to my personal success as a photographer. My passion and creative instinct are the drive behind the quality and professional standard my images come to you. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoy producing them.

There is a little miracle of science happening in your body right now. As you read this, a minuscule 5 grams of a high-energy molecule called adenosine triphosphate - ATP - is causing all kinds of reactions in order to give you the energy to sit at your computer. In total, 8 ounces of ATP is being recycled hundreds of times each day, so many times that a human can use their body weight - 200 pounds of ATP in my case – every 24 hours.

Today is my 43rd
birthday. When I was 34 years old, I walked along a narrow river through the city
of Nanning in the south of China. I was lonely and depressed,
no matter the PhD degree I had recently obtained, my freedom, the beauty all
around, the women I could easily befriend wherever. I came to the conclusion that my
life is not worth its suffering, and that it must either change, that I must
change, or it is idiotic to go on living. I asked myself:

A recent review in the British Journal of Nutrition concluded that the nutritional quality and safety of organic food was higher than conventional food. Fruits, vegetables, and grains, organic versions were better in all ways than conventional farming, they determined.
Organic food had fewer pesticides, a much different result than other studies, and also had more important nutrients, also a much different result than other studies.

When people use heroin, their brains become
physiologically dependent on the drug and the behavioral patterns of use become
written alongside this need. That's addiction: both behaviorally and
biologically, heroin addicts need the drug. When they don't get it, they crave
it, even though they may no longer like it
and know the drug is bad for them. If the drug is withheld long enough, the
addict experiences symptoms of withdrawal.

The level
of recorded music just keeps on increasing. This is what the music press and concerned fans refer to as the "loudness war". Since digital audio has an absolute
upper level limit, it is therefore unavoidable that the dynamic
range suffers.

ZOOLOGISTS ANNOUNCED THE discovery of a tiny, super-cute new primate which can kill a human by licking its elbow. I am not making this up.
The new species of loris found in the Philippines has a poison gland at its elbow, says the American Journal of Primatology. If the creature feels threatened, it attempts to grabs a slurp of poison before biting the attacker.

Its been a bad week for science, particularly for the science related to food production. The notoriously flawed "Seralini Study" about tumors in rats fed GMOs is being republished in another journal after having been retracted. Another paper has come out making a rather questionable link between autism and proximity to pesticide applications on farms.

Release Date:
October 25, 2005
There have been countless tribute albums, but relatively few have been an album-length salute to a proper album. Most notably there was ~NME's 1988 Sgt. Pepper Knew My Father, which had a nice sense of humor and adventure, featuring such excellent pairings as Sonic Youth and "Within You, Without You," Billy Bragg and "She's Leaving Home," and the Fall taking on "A Day In the Life." Seventeen years later, there's @Razor Tie's This Bird Has Flown: A 40th Anniversary Tribute to the Beatles' Rubber Soul, which rounds up 14 adult-alternative and indie rock artists to do a track by track cover of another classic Beatles album. While there are no superstars here, the lineup is rather impressive: adult-alternative mainstays like Ben Harper and Cowboy Junkies are balanced by up-and-comers like Mindy Smith and Nellie McKay, plus indie cult favorites the Fiery Furnaces, Low, Ted Leo and 2005's golden boy Sufjan Stevens. As good as this lineup is, This Bird Has Flown suffers slightly from a sense of predictability, since every artist interprets their chosen selection in exactly the way you'd imagine it, so even if these covers aren't strictly faithful to the Beatles's originals, they do sound familiar. For instance, the Donnas do a straight-ahead, cleanly rocking version of "Drive My Car," Ben Harper reinterprets "Michelle" as an insipid reggae number, Dar Williams does a nice songwriter-y version of "You Won't See Me," Low's "Nowhere Man" is endearingly quiet, Ben Lee takes "In My Life" in a lazily introspective direction, the Yonder Mountain String Band does a neon-old timey version of "Think for Yourself" that's spiked with a fuzz bass while Mindy Smith does a bright, earnest take on "The Word" and the Cowboy Junkies turns "Run for Your Life" into a sultry, late-night groove that's undercut somewhat by silly call-and-response vocals and a creeping resemblance to the work of Alannah Myles. The most memorable cuts here are the ones that take the songs in a slightly different direction than expected -- at least according to what's expected of the song, since these interpretations fit right into the artists' other work. Nellie McKay turns George Harrison's "If I Needed Someone" into swinging lounge-jazz that's just a shade too ironic, but Ted Leo's tightly-wound, ska revival arrangement of "I'm Looking Through You" is certainly one of the highlights here, as is the Fiery Furnaces's "Norwegian Wood." The brother-sister duo reinterpret "Norwegian Wood" as the missing piece from their intricate Blueberry Boat, cutting out the signature acoustic guitar riff and twisting the melody, turning the song into a thick, swirling, organ-heavy, double-tracked ominous collage, complete with a creepy, tape-warped tapestry of piano coda reminiscent of "I Am The Walrus." It's the most imaginative thing here and has an opposite in Sufjan Stevens's similar radical rewrite of "What Goes On," which throws out everything but the lyrics of the original. Where the Fiery Furnaces's reinterpretation sounds lively and imaginative, Stevens sounds contemptuous of his source material, so he decides to recast a nifty country-rock tune into a microcosm of his drama-school art-pop LPs, compressing all of his precious little quirks -- banjos, flutes playing a medieval theme, shifting tempos and disjointed sections -- into a simpering, insufferable mini-suite that grinds this record to a halt. Despite this, the Sufjan track is the only severe misstep in an album filled with good, generally pleasant covers that in no way replace the original Beatles versions but do offer as a nice reminder of what great songwriters Lennon, McCartney and Harrison were. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Danica McKellar Wasn't Shy About Showing Skin, and Billy Dee Williams Goes Full-Blown 'Star Wars' In His 'DWTS' Debut
By Dustin Rowles | Videos | March 18, 2014 | Comments ()
I have very little interest in Dancing with the Stars, save for knowledge that Danica McKellar is on this season, as is DJ Tanner. Billy Dee Williams is also on, and at 76 years old, he's not exactly a breakdancing machine. In fact, he's not a particularly gifted dancer, which is probably why he trotted out Star Wars on his first night. I mean, how you gonna vote off Billy Dee Williams and R2D2?
You just can't. Why? Because Stormtroopers work every time.
As for McKellar? She did not disappoint, and by that, I mean she wore a backless dress.
The flirtation! It's too much.
Sorry. Excuse the obsession. Winnie Cooper is the woman upon whom all my subsequent relationships are based. She is my Lloyd Dobler.
Sad though it may seem, this was one of the highlights of my career.

| The poetry of reality
|Extraordinary claims with
extraordinary evidence
|Hot from the
giants' shoulders
""The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.
|—Neil deGrasse Tyson[1]
Science is the system of acquiring knowledge through use of the scientific method — that is, generating hypotheses and theories through observation and testing. Science is intimately linked with technology; technology is developed using scientific discoveries and science is reliant on technology to further its ideas. The goals of science are to learn more about the world and use this knowledge for the betterment of humankind, or for the destruction of humankind, whichever comes first.
The term "science" originally referred to knowledge in general. However, it has been evolved to refer primarily to the natural sciences — the study of the natural world and the fundamental laws of nature — biology, chemistry, physics, etc. In its original usage, fields such as theology were called 'sciences', which seems strange to people only familiar with its contemporary usage. To make it even more confusing, science was originally derived from "natural philosophy". Science is generally distinguished from the humanities — the study of human history and literature — although, the social sciences and psychology straddle the boundary to some extent.
[edit] Categorizing science
Science is divided into broad fields used to categorize the phenomenon being studied, such as biology, chemistry, geology etc. Each of these broader fields is then broken up into finer and finer sub-fields.
The two broadest categorizations of science are physical ("hard") and social ("soft"). Physical science deals with the physical world and allows for repeatable controlled experiments; physics with its study of light, heat, force, and energy, and specializations such as electric field are all physical sciences.
Social science on the other hand studies human behavior; anthropology and written history are social sciences. In contrast to physical sciences, social sciences are prone to suffer from observer bias where preconceived beliefs drive the investigation and interpretation. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to apply the process of "repeatable controlled experiments" to the "soft" sciences.
Some fields (such as archaeology) use a mixture of physical and social science.
The question of what does and what does not count as science is known as the demarcation problem. What is not science but often claims to be can generally be found in RationalWiki's pseudoscience category.
[edit] Success
Science has been the most spectacularly successful method humankind has invented for the investigation of the material world. As has been mentioned previously, technology and technological advancement is reliant on science; science has produced drugs that cure diseases, the cultivation and distribution of an enormous variety of food, communications and transportation methods that allow us to make contact with others across the world with ease, and computers that have vastly increased our ability to collect, store and analyze information. Less obvious things that come from science are things like ballpoint pens, insulated houses, flushing toilets and the materials and dyes used in modern clothing. By its nature science seeks to form cohesive explanatory frameworks for any information, without clearly drawn limits; this makes it pesky and irritating to those who would prefer that science would just stop at some arbitrary point so they can comfortably maintain anti-science beliefs and practices.
[edit] Newton's Dark Legacy of 'Science as the Seeker of Truth' and the misunderstanding of Mach and Miner
Newton developed the first post-Renaissance view on how the Universe worked but it also created a serious problem regarding how science was and is viewed by the public. Newton's concept of the Universe was essentially clockwork and created the view in the public's mind (and in many scientists) that "fact" and "truth" were the same thing. Moreover, Newton states that everything was knowable and there were things like Absolute Time and Space and Science's goal was to expand our knowledge and uncover this Truth and that scientists anywhere would see the exact same thing and be able to discern this Truth through Facts.
The problem was (and is) is that in terms of philosophy, "fact" and "truth" are are actually totally different things.[2] "A fact is a reality that cannot be logically disputed or rejected." whereas, "Truths are those things that are not simply acknowledged, but must be discovered, or created." or to over simplify, a fact is what can be demonstrated to be true through observation and-or testing. Truth on the other hand is subjective.
At one time stating that the Sun revolved around the Earth was the truth; that didn't change the fact the Earth revolves around the Sun. Under Newton, the truth was that forces like gravity and light moved instantaneously; that didn't change the fact that they didn't. In some forms of Buddhism, the truth is that the deities, the heavens, the hells, and the world itself are all an illusion that prevents one from achieving enlightenment. In other religions, the truth is the exact opposite.
The problem with that view science as the seeker of truth is it created a totally inaccurate view of science. This erroneous view continues to this day, e.g., just watch the totally inaccurate way science is portrayed in The Flight of Dragons[wp] cartoon for an example of just how bad it can get.
So when Newton's model of the universe got replaced with Einstein's and later with quantum mechanics (which Einstein didn't like as it stated that you could not know everything and there were no certainties only [Probability|probabilities]]; hence his famous "God does not play dice" comment), the public concept of "Science as the Seeker of Truth", born of Newton, got kicked in the head and there really wasn't anything certain and concrete to replace it with.
More over Ernst Mach demonstrated that what was viewed as "fact" was dependent on your senses and frame of reference which echoed ideas of Immanuel Kant — science creates structures to explain and predict how the world works, and that model could effect what is viewed as acceptable data (i.e., Fact).
One such example of how bad that could get was in France regarding stories that peasants would tell the aristocrat scientists of, "these here rocks that fell from the sky", which partly due to the class system were dismissed. Come the evolution where said peasants were running things and presto-chango all those dismissed stories suddenly became "vital astronomical data", and within a few years there was a book on meteorites by one of the new peasant scientists.
With his deeply sarcastic 1956 Body Ritual among the Nacirema article, Horace Miner hammered into his fellow anthropologists another example of the model driving the data rather then the data driving the model[3] and James Burke's 1985 The Day the Universe Changed (especially the last episode "Worlds Without End: Changing Knowledge, Changing Reality") brought this view to the masses, but Burke also makes the unfortunate comment that religious systems "explain the world just as well as science does" reinforcing the idea among many that science was no different then religion.
Another factor was as Newton's model started showing problems, technology took off and the public got another misconception into its collective consciousness: that science was technology (rather than a as method which could both lead to new technology and as as a means for technology to aid science's goals). In reality, religion was quite able to produce technology as demonstrated by the clock and gunpowder as well as warfare (screwdriver, town planning, and better map-making).
So you have the misconception of a knowable truth being out there getting clobbered by fact being demonstrated as not being as clear cut as was believed, and an idea that science was technology coming together into a nice little package just in time for the biggest social upheaval of the Western World (World War I). Small wonder that the anti-science movement gathered steam especially after the sequel of World War II came down the pipe.
[edit] Science vs supernatural beliefs
Like any pseudoscience or pseudophilosophy, supernatural beliefs never seem to die. Delusional people will muster any illogical defense to their aid, from NOMA to God works in mysterious ways.
The hypothesis that something supernatural exists has always lost out to the hypothesis that mindless natural forces are all that there is in any fair and settled investigation. Because of this undefeated track record, science has a high bar for accepting the supernatural — all reasonably plausible natural explanations must be considered and discounted before any true science will even begin to consider such an explanation.
The research of Alonso de Salazar Frías in the aftermath of the Navarre Witch Trials of 1610 (with the full support of Supreme Council of the Inquisition) shows why science requires such a high bar. Salazar's systematic study of witchcraft claims showed that the witnesses were either lying or deluded and that the supposed magical poisons were harmless. At the end of his study, he concluded that there was not one piece of actual evidence that there was even one case of witchcraft actually occurring or that such power even existed. The result of all this was the Instructions of 1614 which lessened the punishment for witchcraft and increased the requirement for empirical evidence. Even in Spain, not everyone agreed with the Spanish Inquisition's new guidelines and executions for witchcraft continued in some local communities but the Roman Inquisition did agree and published a detailed metrology regarding witchcraft trials in 1655. Claims of witchcraft and testimonials were no longer enough — hard physical corroborating evidence was now required.
Horace Mitchell Miner's darkly satirical 1956 paper "Body Ritual among the Nacirema"[4] showed that labeling things one doesn't understand (or in this case doesn't take the time to understand) as 'supernatural' and 'magic' totally short circuits any attempt at really understanding what is going on.
Miner took the then common methodology of looking at "primitive" peoples and casually dismissing their ways as "magic" and turned it on the United States. The paper showed that with this mindset even the most scientifically-based technologically advanced society could be portrayed as believers in magic and the supernatural:
- Chlorination of water to prevent disease is reduced to "the Water Temple of the community, where the priests conduct elaborate ceremonies to make the liquid ritually pure."
- The hospital with all its hard learned scientific advances is reduced to a temple "that is where you go to die" with the nurses now "vestal maidens" and the doctors now "medicine men".
- Scientific medicine itself is reduced to "ceremonies" of "discomfort and torture" with "magic wands" (thermometers) and "magically treated needles" (antibiotics and medicines).
After this, Horace Miner's fellow anthropologist got the hint and actually looked at the magic they discovered: the only real differences between the magical worldview and science was that magic didn't have a self-correcting mechanic nor a set procedure for determining which concept best fit what was being observed.
It should be mentioned that there were sciences that dealt with the supernatural and magic that have eventually gone ad hoc in their theories or fell apart when they encountered observations that could not be explained. These include astrology, thaumatology (study of miracles), and the science of magic itself thaumaturgy.[5]
[edit] The anti-science movement
Where it crosses these near invisible boundaries science is often reviled — at least in part — by various groups, such as religious fundamentalists, who find the ideas in their holy books challenged or environmentalists who wish to blame science for pollution, starvation and all the ills of the world. Sometimes, politicians become annoyed when scientific results do not correspond with those which would further their particular platforms or beliefs. Results obtained by the scientific method are often inconvenient to political agendas and politicians will ignore them as irrelevant, dismissing them as a mere "theory" or worldview. These attacks on science are usually very picky, with those who attack science and label it as irrelevant are quite content to use cars, fly in planes, use satellite navigation and espouse their views over the Internet.
Critics of science are quick to point out that "science is always changing", as if it was inconsistent, able to alter its views at the drop of a hat and render itself irrelevant to the real world. In reality, this ability to change is one of the greatest strengths of science. All of science can be considered to be a "work in progress", a work which corrects its mistakes and which not only changes but actively improves its theories. Unlike most of its critics, who will devote themselves to their worldview in all situations, when science encounters evidence which conflicts with its ideas, it will improve its ideas to take the new evidence into account. One of the best examples of this is the development of the structure of the atom, which began as cube shaped blocks and has evolved to a complex structure explained by quantum mechanics. This was based entirely on what was observed with technology — aided by other branches of science — and became powerful enough to make better and more accurate observations.
A somewhat more cogent criticism of science holds that, as a part of the larger trends of modernity, it tends to diminish the human experience and the human condition. These critics target science as a force which steadily diminishes every aspect of the natural world and human experience to a set of objective mechanical equations. According to these intellectuals, the scientific worldview casts man as a lone, isolated figure living, according to biologist Jacques Monod, in "fundamental isolation … like a gypsy, he lives on the boundary of an alien world. A world that is deaf to his music, just as indifferent to his hopes as it is to his suffering or his crimes."[6] These anti-science critics find this notion of a world purely of particles and (apparently) devoid of souls, the supernatural, and free will to be unsettling, and they see this world as the necessary intellectual consequence of the objective, materialist scientific worldview. (Whether this is a problem with science or the critics is, perhaps, in the eye of the beholder.)
Other critics claim that science has provided fantastic benefits in the areas of technology, agriculture, and medicine, but that it has not provided any sort of relief in a number of societal areas. During the Age of Enlightenment, science (and, more specifically, the rationalism it embodied) were thought to be the key to the advent of a new golden age of political and social harmony. However, while newer forms of government, such as democracy, did emerge from the Enlightenment, the fields of social and political "science" have seen little to none of the meteoric advancement that characterizes the "hard sciences", and war, poverty, and exploitation continue to blight the world in spite of the scientific revolution. Some critics contend that science has, in fact, worsened the human condition, because it has advanced the capability of humans to wreak devastation upon themselves and their environment without providing the social and political advancement needed to wield such capabilities responsibly. Pro-science advocates respond by claiming that science ought not to be excoriated for its own successes relative to other fields, that rationalism has wrought some improvements in these areas, and that many of the problems in society and politics stem not from a failure of scientific thought but from a lack of scientific thought.
[edit] Research
Science is sometimes, for the convenience of people who want to see results, divided into applied science and research (or basic) science. The first applies scientific discoveries to the development of new and improved technology, from cars to iPods. The second pursues scientific knowledge for its own sake with no particular practical goal in mind. The nice thing about this pure research is that it often ends up providing the raw material and knowledge for unexpected practical uses.
[edit] Limitations of science
Because science, by its very nature, is based on the observations of humans, it can sometimes be erroneous, either because of a false observation, or a limit in technology. For example: a zoologist named Theophilus Painter had concluded humans have 24 pairs of chromosomes. For some 30 years at least, this was considered a fact in then-current biology textbooks. And, of course, until the invention of the telescope, it was thought that all cosmological bodies revolved around the Earth. And this erroneous observation did not go down without a fight.
Care, therefore, must be taken when making conclusions. Jumping to conclusions with only isolated evidence is a good way to make bad conclusions. The more observers of an event, generally, the better. And the more evidence for an hypothesis, the better. Contradictions may not disprove an hypothesis — only if the contradiction has a reason for being there. (For example, most substances are at their most dense when they are solid. But water is most dense as a liquid. Its chemical composition and the structure of ice's bonds accounts for this apparent contradiction.)
Also, at the base of science there must be sound philosophy wherever support is needed that science itself is not providing. This may include things like logic, knowing what the scientific endeavor even is and why it should be pursued, and overcoming various extreme forms of skepticism.
[edit] Quotes on science
""She blinded me with science!
|—Thomas Dolby
""Dad, you should listen to him. He's a man of science and you can barely read.
|—Lisa Simpson, The Simpsons
""The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not "Eureka!" but "That's funny…
|—Isaac Asimov
""If a philosopher or social scientist were to try to encapsulate a single principle that yoked together the intellectual process of civilization, it would be a gradual dismantling of presumptions of magic. Brick by brick, century by century, with occasional burps and hiccups, the wall of superstition has been coming down. Science and medicine and political philosophy have been on a relentless march in one direction only — sometimes slow, sometimes at a gallop, but never reversing course. Never has an empirical scientific discovery been deemed wrong and replaced by a more convincing mystical explanation. ("Holy cow, Dr. Pasteur! I've examined the pancreas of a diabetic dog, and darned if it's NOT an insulin deficiency, but a little evil goblin dwelling inside. And he seems really pissed!") Some magical presumptions have stubbornly persisted waaaay longer than others, but have eventually, inexorably fallen to logic, reason and enlightenment, such as the assumption of the divine right of kings and the entitlement of aristocracy. That one took five millennia, but fall it did.
|—Gene Weingarten
""You don't use science to show that you're right, you use science to become right.
|—Randall Munroe, xkcd
""Science is nothing but developed perception, interpreted intent, common sense rounded out and minutely articulated.
|—George Santayana (1863-1952)
""Science is, at any given time, the best explanation we have for … things.
