Delaware Department of Agriculture staff members are placing triangular purple traps in trees across Delaware in 54 locations, in all three counties, designed to detect whether a tree-killing insect has made its way into Delaware.
Delaware Department of Agriculture staff members are placing triangular purple traps in trees across Delaware in 54 locations, in all three counties, designed to detect whether a tree-killing insect has made its way into Delaware.
The traps, which contain a nontoxic chemical lure, will attract an insect known as the emerald ash borer, if it's nearby. The emerald ash borer can devastate ash trees, which make up one percent of Delaware's forests. Green ash trees are common in southern Delaware along stream banks, and white ash is often found in northern Delaware's upland forests and as a street tree in some neighborhoods.
"It kills ash trees within just a few years by burrowing under the ash tree's bark and starving the tree to death," said Jim Kroon, Delaware's pest survey coordinator for the Department of Agriculture's Plant Industries Section. "We hope the emerald ash borer stays out of Delaware, but need to monitor for it to make sure that's the case."
The Department of Agriculture has set the traps every year since 2008, with most traps set near highways and in municipal areas. While the traps have so far come up empty, EAB has been found within an hour's drive of state lines in Maryland and Pennsylvania. EAB can spread naturally at a rate of three miles a year, but it is often carried in firewood and commercial products containing ash.
"We don't want this pest to hitch a ride into Delaware. To help prevent the spread, campers and visitors should buy only local firewood or firewood with a U.S. Department of Agriculture treatment stamp," said Faith Kuehn, plant industries manager.
The combination of the chemical lure and bright purple color in the traps has been found to attract the insects, Kroon said. The traps will be placed in ash trees 10 to 20 feet off the ground. Most traps will be hung along roads and public right-of-ways, and on private property with permission of the landowner. They pose no risk to humans or pets, but the glue coating the trap is extremely sticky and messy if touched.
Residents who have questions about EAB, think their trees may be infested or see a fallen trap should contact Kroon at 302-698-4586.

Stan Musial already has a statue in St. Louis named after him. If state and federal lawmakers get their way, a new Mississippi River bridge also will carry the name of the St. Louis Cardinals great.
Democratic Sens. Claire McCaskill, of Missouri, and Dick Durbin, of Illinois, proposed legislation Wednesday that would name the new bridge the Stan Musial Memorial Bridge — some are already dubbing it the "Stan Span." The bridge carrying Interstate 70 traffic is expected to open in 2014.
Musial, a three-time MVP and seven-time National League batting champion who spent all 22 seasons of his career with the Cardinals, died Saturday after several years of declining health. He was 92.
"The respect and devotion that people have for Stan Musial has more to do with his character than his swing," McCaskill said in a phone interview. "His swing was amazing, a unique thing of beauty, but it was the man that made a lot of decisions in his life that just reflect the kind of values that we all want as Americans."
KMOX Radio polled several fans at last week's Cardinals Winter Warmup and there was virtually unanimous support for naming the bridge for Musial. Two Missouri state senators — Republicans Eric Schmitt and John Lamping, both of St. Louis County — introduced identical bills Tuesday in Jefferson City to name the bridge for Musial. Illinois lawmakers also would have to approve the name. McCaskill figures they would.
"As most St. Louisans know, folks that live on the Illinois side of the St. Louis region are by and large Cardinals fans," McCaskill said. "They aren't cheering for the Cubs. I think it (naming the bridge) is something that unites the two states."
Musial was a beloved figure in St. Louis, as much for his kindness and approachability as his on-the-field prowess. That's saying something because he is among the baseball immortals, with 3,630 hits and a lifetime .331 average. He led the Cardinals to three World Series titles in the 1940s.
After retirement Musial was briefly general manager of the Cardinals, including during the 1967 World Series championship season. He operated a popular restaurant for years and made frequent appearances before big games. His last came during last year's NL Championship Series, which the Cardinals eventually lost in seven games to San Francisco.
A statue of Musial that stood for years outside of the old Busch Stadium was moved to the new ballpark when it opened in 2006. Since Musial's death, hundreds of fans have dropped off cards, flowers, balloons and other items in his honor.
As a senator, McCaskill was there when Musial received the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House in February 2011, and she sat with him at the 2009 All-Star Game in St. Louis. But it was a chance meeting when she was a young woman that stood out.
"I met him in a restaurant in Jefferson City," she recalled. "He immediately pulled out his harmonica and wanted to play for me. He clearly loved people and loved life."
Thousands of fans are expected for a public visitation Thursday at The Cathedral Basilica in St. Louis. Musial's popularity was such that two Roman Catholic Cardinals and a bishop will celebrate his funeral Mass on Saturday. Afterward, a funeral procession will make its way to Busch Stadium, where his family will lay a wreath at the base of the statue.

Early missteps led to a cult following and eventually led to widespread acclaim that inspired countless craft brewers. Still, more than 25 years later, no brewery has been able to achieve the pure, unqualified Liquid Goodness of Redhook.

Carolyn Krause continues her series of stories based on oral histories, this one features William "Bill" Arnold and is based on an interview with Clarence Larson, the only Oak Ridger to ever serve on the Atomic Energy Commission.
Carolyn Krause continues her series of stories based on oral histories, this one features William "Bill" Arnold and is based on an interview with Clarence Larson, the only Oak Ridger to ever serve on the Atomic Energy Commission. Larson worked with Ernest Lawrence to help solve early problems with the calutrons used to separate uranium-235 from natural uranium.
Larson went on to become the Y-12 plant manager in 1948. In 1950, he became director of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory during the $20 million expansion program and was instrumental in arranging for ORNL activities to be housed in buildings at the Y-12 site that were no longer being used after the calutrons were removed.
Four of ORNL's 13 nuclear reactors were completed while Larson was the director of the laboratory, the first computer was installed and a nuclear reactor exhibit was a huge hit at the first "Atoms for Peace" conference held in Geneva, Switzerland.
In 1955, Larson became a vice president with Union Carbide Corp. and left Oak Ridge, returning in 1961 as president of Union Carbide Nuclear Division. He then served as a commissioner for the Atomic Energy Commission from 1969 to 1974
He also conducted oral history interviews, on which Carolyn bases the following story.
William Arnold, a plant physiologist, physicist and biologist employed in Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Biology Division from 1946 to 1970, had at least two claims to scientific fame.
One claim was his set of scientific discoveries on the effects of light on the vital process that makes green plants grow. The other was his contribution to the term "fission" used to describe the process that makes nuclear power plants work.
Some Oak Ridgers remember that the pipe-smoking Bill Arnold kept a blackboard in his living room. Liane Russell, former section head of the ORNL Biology Division, recalled he built a fallout shelter under his cemesto house.
One of Arnold's two daughters, Helen Herron of Indianapolis (who supplied two photos of Arnold), wrote in a 1996 "Photosynthesis Research" journal issue dedicated to her father that he considered himself "lucky to have been able to make a living doing what he would cheerfully have done for free."
She noted her father's "sense of humor and easy way with people reflected his self-confidence and his enjoyment of life, friends and science."
Arnold, a Wyoming native who died in 2001, contributed greatly to the understanding of photosynthesis. That's the life-giving process by which green plants convert airborne carbon dioxide and water to plant food using the sunlight's energy and then emit to the atmosphere the oxygen we breathe.
When Arnold came to Oak Ridge, he had already made a name for himself through his research in 1932 with Robert Emerson. The two discovered the "photosynthetic unit" in plants. At the time Arnold was an undergraduate student at Cal Tech and was co-author of the famous paper.
They found if they increased the intensity or constantly changed the frequency of light flashes on chlorophyll in the algae Chlorella, they observed more and more photosynthesis per flash, Arnold told Clarence Larson, former ORNL director and chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, in an oral history interview. "Then it saturated, meaning that a chemical reaction in the plant was finishing up."
They exposed plants to instantaneous flashes of light and found that one molecule of oxygen was produced for every 2,400 molecules of chlorophyll, the green pigment that carries out photosynthesis.
In the 1960s, Arnold proved that plants exposed to light flashes after their temperature was raised produce "delayed light emissions" for a limited time. Jack Davidson of ORNL worked with Arnold to develop the apparatus to measure the light emissions. "Jim Azzi made a real good spectrum of the emission of delayed light," Arnold told Larson.
Eli Greenbaum, an ORNL corporate fellow who has conducted research on photosynthesis for many years, said, "Bill discovered the electronic nature of energy transfer in photosynthesis."
For his work, Arnold received the Kettering Award from the American Society of Plant Physiologists, which cited him for "his application of rigorous principles of physics to a biological phenomenon."
In a tribute to Arnold, Jean Lavorel, a French scientist who visited him in March 1957, called him "a giant and pioneer of biophysics of photosynthesis." He described Arnold as "straight, plain, even-tempered, attentive and nice," and also as "utterly methodical, but resourceful and imaginative."
Now, for the nuclear fission story. In 1939, after completing graduate work at Harvard, Arnold received a Rockefeller Fellowship. It enabled him to work for a year at Nobel Laureate Niels Bohr's Institute for Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen, Denmark. There Arnold learned the technique of using radioactive tracers from future Nobel Laureate Georg de Hevesy.
At the Institute, Arnold met Otto Frisch, the nephew of Lise Meitner. Both Frisch and Meitner had left Nazi Germany because of their Jewish heritage.
During the Christmas holiday in 1938, Frisch visited his aunt in Sweden. While there Meitner received the news that her former colleague Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in Berlin were astonished to discover a neutron colliding with a uranium nucleus produced the lighter element barium.
Hahn was continuing the research that Italian scientist Enrico Fermi started in 1934 (nine years before he became director of ORNL's Graphite Reactor project). Hahn originally believed Fermi was right: bombarding uranium with neutrons creates elements heavier, not lighter, than uranium.
The German chemist Ida Noddack was the first to disagree with Fermi. In a 1934 scientific paper, she wrote, "It is conceivable that when heavy nuclei are bombarded with neutrons, these nuclei could break down into several fairly large fragments, which are certainly isotopes of known elements, but not neighbors of the irradiated elements."
In 1939 Meitner and Frisch, employing Bohr and George Gamow's liquid-drop model, hypothesized that the uranium nucleus had split in two, explained the process and estimated the energy released. Frisch used the term fission to describe this nuclear process.
Here's how that came about. On Jan. 14, 1939, Hilde Levi, de Hevesy's female assistant, told Arnold that Frisch "has got a marvelous experiment in the basement. Go down and see him."
Arriving in Frisch's lab, Arnold saw small pulses on the oscilloscope screen produced by the uranium sample's alpha particles in a proportional counter. Frisch invited Arnold to pick up a radium-beryllium neutron source by the handle and aim it at the sample. Arnold saw "big spikes" on the oscilloscope, indicating breakdown of nuclei into radioactive fragments.
" I had gone back up into my lab when Frisch poked his head in," Arnold said. Frisch was looking for a name for the world-changing process for which he had a direct experimental proof.
"You work in a microbiology lab," Frisch said to Arnold. "What do you call the process in which one bacterium divides into two cells?"
"Binary fission," Arnold replied. "I don't want a two-word name," Frisch said. "Can I call it fission alone?" Arnold said, "Yes, sir."
"It's a good thing he didn't use the whole name because some of the nuclei split into three fragments," Arnold told Larson.
Meitner and Frisch published a famous paper that explained the physics behind "fission." But unlike Hahn, Meitner did not win the Nobel Prize for the discovery of fission, and Noddack's paper, although correct, was ignored for years.
In 1966, in recognition of their work on nuclear fission, Meitner, Strassmann and Hahn shared the Atomic Energy Commission's Enrico Fermi Award. But Meitner was too ill to attend the awards' ceremony.
Arnold may well have derived more satisfaction out of his small contribution to nuclear fission than many of the key players.
Thank you Carolyn, for yet another glimpse into Oak Ridge history. Thank you also for persisting until you obtained the two photographs of Bill Arnold from his daughter and for sharing those photographs with a variety of Oak Ridge historians and archives that might retain the photo of one of Oak Ridge's great scientists.

"Comparing Samsung's flagship products before and after release of the iPhone & iPad, and how Apple's intellectual property infringement claims hold up." A terrible visual guide that ignores not only Samsung's own pre-iPhone designs, but also - and worse yet - the thirty-odd years of mobile computing that preceded the iPhone. Typical of today's technology world: a complete and utter lack of historical sense. Worse yet are the claims about icons: only the phone icon is similar, but Apple did not invent the green phone icon. This is a remnant of virtually all earlier phones which use a green phone icon for initiate/answer call, and a red phone icon for terminate/reject call. Claiming this deserves IP protection is beyond ridiculous, and shows just how low Apple is willing to go.

(part 1)
Common - any card which is not short-printed, an insert, a bonus card, or has an insertion ratio. In short, the cards that comprise the manufacturer's basic set.
Condition - the physical appearance of a card/collectible. Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, the presence of foreign material, signs of misuse are the critical components. Along with rarity/scarcity, it is a major factor in determining the value of a card or collectible.
Crease - an obvious paper wrinkle defect usually caused by bending the card [i.e.- the result of being tortured on a rear-wheel bicycle spoke during the early '50s and '60s].
Die-Cut - an insert/parallel card that differs from the basic card by a process of the manufacturer "cutting" portions of the card revealing a special design. Recent issues may also be individually and serially-numbered.

Topps inserted these Stick-Ons (stickers) in several of series of their 1963 Topps baseball cards. Interestingly, the Stick-On inserts were not mentioned or advertised on wax pack wrappers in 1963.
The complete 1963 Topps Stick-Ons set is packed with HALL-OF-FAMERS and contains 46 stickers measuring 1-1/4" x 2-3/4". The Stick-Ons come in 2 distinct variations. They can be found either with instructions printed on the back or the much scarcer blank-back variation.
The Stick-Ons have with an approx. 3/16" "white" band running left to right across the mug shot. This band appears to be lighter than the printing above and below it. Theory is that it is an aging effect caused by the backing strip.

Froome entered the Tour as the favorite after finishing second last year behind countryman and Sky teammate Bradley Wiggins, who isn't defending his title because of an injury. After Froome's performance, the race looks like it's his to lose.
"I must be among the happiest men in the world today," Froome said. "There's a long way to go until Paris. There are two weeks left but we want to keep the yellow jersey."
Froome leads Contador by nearly two minutes, with former champions Andy Schleck and Cadel Evans much further back, ahead of another tough mountain stage on Sunday.
"More than anything today we've got a bit of a psychological advantage over the others," Froome said. "It's quite hard to think about this, standing in yellow today. This is incredible. We've worked for months to be in this position."
In the overall standings, Froome is 51 seconds ahead of teammate Richie Porte and leads third-place Alejandro Valverde by 1:25. Meanwhile, Contador is 1:51 behind in seventh spot; Schleck is 4:00 back in 21st and Evans is 4:36 adrift in 23rd.
This is the 100th edition of the Tour and the first since Lance Armstrong was stripped of his seven straight titles (1999-2005) for doping. Froome's ride on Saturday resembled Armstrong at his best, when the American used to punish his opponents early in the race to take control.
Froome was asked after the stage if he is riding clean.
"One hundred percent," he responded.
"It's normal that people ask questions in cycling," he said. "I certainly know the results I'm getting, they're not going to be stripped ... I think the sport (has) changed. If you look at it logically the sport is in a better place now than it has been."
The 28-year-old Froome attacked early into the day's second big climb up to Ax 3 Domaines and only Porte, who finished the stage 51 seconds behind in second, was anywhere near him.
"The team was absolutely perfect today," Porte said. "I'm absolutely finished but it was an incredible day."
Contador grimly held on as long as he could, and was dropped by Froome long after 2010 champion Schleck and the 2011 champion Evans had already been left behind.
"I tried to find my rhythm because it was a bit too fast for me," Schleck said. "It's only the first day of the mountains and it's not over yet."
Froome took the yellow jersey from South African cyclist Daryl Impey, his former training partner, who crawled over the line 7:50 behind in 35th spot.
Contador finished the stage 1:45 behind Froome, Schleck trailed by 3:34 and the 36-year-old Evans was 4:13 adrift.
"I wasn't expecting that much for today," Froome said. "The time gaps were so big, that's quite something. We're in a really good position."
Given that Froome may attack again in Sunday's second tortuous Pyrenean climbs featuring four straight category 1 ascents he could be well on the way to victory by Monday's rest day.
"I think we're well poised," Froome said. "We're going to have to fight for it but I'm confident in the team we have."
Saturday's 195-kilometer (121-mile) trek started from Castres and stayed flat for a long time leading to the steep climbs.
The Col de Pailheres came first a ferociously tough ascent for about nine miles at a gradient of eight percent and then a shorter but even steeper ride to the finish at the ski resort of Ax 3 Domaines.
Colombian rider Nairo Quintana broke away to launch a brutal attack up Pailheres, and only Frenchman Pierre Roland initially followed him, but Porte helped Froome steadily gain ground on them.
Schleck, Evans and then Rolland were dropped with about 6 kilometers (4 miles) left to go up to Ax 3 Domaines as Contador desperately tried to stay on Porte's wheel.
Porte had tired Contador to the point that the Spaniard was even struggling to keep up with teammate Roman Kreuziger, so Froome decided it was time to finish him off.
"I am little bit surprised," Froome said. "Maybe he (Contador) didn't have his best day today."
Froome climbed with such blistering acceleration it almost looked like he was riding a time trial, blowing past Quintana and then Porte.
"It may look easy on TV but it wasn't," Froome said.
Still, he had time to ease up in the saddle, raise his arms and soak up victory in the blazing sun.

Lillian Western was a school nurse at Lincoln Elementary School and the assistant director of nursing at the Stockley Center in Georgetown
Western, who will turn 98 on April 4, has been living in the Milford-area since 1947. She worked as a school nurse at the former Lincoln Elementary School and as the assistant director of nursing at the Stockley Center in Georgetown until 1977. In 1999, the couple moved from Lincoln to Milford to live with their oldest daughter, Helene and her husband John. August died in 2008, and today Western is living just off the Mispillion River with her youngest daughter, Joan and her husband Sudler.
Q What first brought you to Milford?
A My husband was a poultry man in New Jersey and the company he worked for, Sussex Poultry, moved here and we did too. My mother wasn't very fond of the area when she first visited. She called it God forsaken because there was nothing here, and there were all these places with names like Murderkill, Broadkill and Slaughter Beach. But she changed her mind about Milford once the theater opened on Walnut Street. After that, she changed her mind and would take the train down to visit us and see the shows they had there.
Q How did you come to pursue a career in nursing?
A When I was young, families lived close together and my grandfather Murphy would come stay with us. When I was 8, he got sick so I took him his meals, and he started calling me his little nurse. After that, whenever a relative got sick, I would take care of them. From then on, all I heard was, 'She's going to be a nurse.' The next thing I knew, I was studying to be a nurse at St. Francis Hospital in Trenton.
Q But it took about 15 years before you actually started working as a nurse, right?
A I got married after I graduated and, at that time, the Catholic Church frowned on mothers working outside the home, so I raised my children. My oldest son, Karl, had a chance to attend Archmere Academy in Wilmington and after all the turmoil, when they wouldn't let the black children in the same school as the whites, he got very upset by that. He didn't agree with it and wanted to leave. Around the same time, we were at Mass one Sunday when the priest mentioned a job opening at the Stockley Center, so I decided to apply because we needed the money for Karl to go school and to educate the rest of our children. And I'm glad I did. Today, four out of the six of them work in the medical field.
Q You'll be 98 next month. What's the secret to your longevity?
A When I was a girl, I thought when you turned 60 that was it. Well, that was a long time ago and I can't believe I'm still here. I think keeping busy is important and living on a farm, there was always something to do in the garden, in the poultry houses, or with all the animals we had. I always said, if you rest, you rust. So I keep as busy as I can, even still.
HOMETOWN Hightstown, N.J.
FAMILY Sons, Karl, Eddie, Paul and Michael; Daughters, Helene and Joan
EDUCATION Hightstown High School, Class of 1934; St. Francis School of Nursing in Trenton, N.J., Class of 1937; completed nursing courses at the University of Delaware
FAVORITE FOOD White potatoes
FAVORITE BOOK "Captains and Kings" by Taylor Caldwell
HOBBIES Quilting, sewing, playing cards and dominoes

It isn't that intelligent design is impossible. It's that it doesn't fit the way humans and other species evolved. When we design something like a machine (or a computer, or a program), we work to remove defects and improve performance. But we don't see that with natural evolution. Humans have a host of problems and inefficiencies that demonstrate a decided lack of intelligent design. Indeed, our technology is our way to overcome the handicaps of our own bodies.
This is incorrect. Evolution works by finding combinations that give an organism a survival/reproductive advantage. Once such an advantage is created, further changes can then improve it, either by making it more effective (adding functionality), or making it more efficient (reducing unnecessary baggage). That's how an organ like the eye could have developed naturally; by having successive mutations give it additional functionality (for example, being able to see at night, being able to differentiate colors, being able to resolve see shapes rather than patches of light and dark) and increased efficiency (by removing inefficiencies in the way it developed).
This is certainly true, but then you're following an infinite progression. If creator2 created creator1, what created creator2? Sure, you can answer that with creator3, but then you have the open question of what created creator3. There are only three reasonable answers to this dilemma. First, you have an infinite progression, where you have creatorn creating creatorn-1 and being created by creatorn+1; second, you have no creator; third, you have a loop where something ultimately caused the creation of itself.
Do you actually understand evolution? We aren't talking about a dog eventually evolving into a cat, or a spider into a fish. We're talking about a precursor organism that differentiated into two or more closely-related species (such as whatever the precursor for primates was). And this precursor organism would have been much closer in terms of genetics to other precursor organisms, thus creating a divergence between them that would have come from an earlier precursor organism, and so on and so forth. Naturally, the reality is much more complicated than my example.
No offense, but this clearly demonstrates that you do not understand how evolution works - you are approaching the subject from ignorance, and are claiming that the accumulated knowledge we have on it can't be correct even though you don't really understand it. Your arguments boil down to, "the eye is too complex, so it must have been designed" and "sexual reproduction can't have happened by accident, it must have been planned", which are both textbook arguments from incredulity.
It (reproduction) isn't "necessary", but it gives an evolutionary advantage.
Genetic recombination (from two or more parents) provides a better chance at long-term species survival than simply creating clones, because those clones are going to mostly be copies of the original, and thus vulnerable to a disease, a toxin, or a genetic abnormality. It's like this; if you have a whole bunch of organisms that are almost all the same, then they'll have the same strengths and weaknesses (mostly). Look at the way we use antibiotics to kill harmful bacteria, for example. The only survivors are the ones which had a lucky mutation, since they have no way to recombine their DNA. So when humans get hit with a disease, you have some which are very vulnerable (say they have two recessive copies of a gene), some which are not very vulnerable (they have one recessive and one dominant), and some which are not vulnerable (they have two dominant copies). You'll have a lot more humans which are resistant or immune to it than you would if we used asexual reproduction.
Morever it doesn't seem probable that a man private parts just developed thru random mutations, as I already discussed.
Hi Dr Tesla; awesome moniker, BTW. You don't have to understand evolution to benefit from it every day. If you have ever had a flu shot or a blood transfusion or were tested for allergies, or have eaten corn, or had a vaccination, you have benefited from the theory of evolution. Police solve crimes using forensic biology--based on the theory of evolution-- to identify human remains. They locate criminal suspects using DNA--the discovery of DNA is also based on the theory of evolution.[1] 1. A while back we had a religious person here say they could not believe that police solved crimes using evolution, since evolution was not true. I guess they never watch CSI shows.
The basics of evolution are not that hard. All life came from a common ancestor, which is why all living things-- including plants, insects, mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and bacteria-- have basic similarities at the cellular and molecular level. Every life form alive today came from a previous ancestor.
The closer two species are to each other genetically, the more characteristics they share. You see it all around you-- most kids look kind of like their biological parents, and closely related species can have offspring (lions and tigers are both a type of cat, and can have offspring--ligers!) while species that are very far apart cannot (dogs and cats, or birds and snakes, can never have offspring).
Humans, gorillas and chimps are all primates who share a common lemur-like ancestor. The three are too distantly related to have offspring, but are close enough to have similar characteristics in appearance and social organization-- and even to share diseases. When we look at the DNA of different species of primates, it is much more similar than when we compare any primate DNA to canine or feline or reptile DNA. We can even locate the exact places in the DNA where chimps diverged from humans in the evolutionary line.
It is a mistake to think that an individual animal or plant or insect "decides" to evolve in one way or another. Otherwise we humans would have "decided" to evolve wings so we could fly or eyes that could see more of the color spectrum. It is not about individual choice. It is about what makes it possible for an organism to survive long enough to reproduce and pass on its characteristics to its offspring.
The eye is a great evolutionary example.
A critter that can sense light and dark has an advantage over those that are completely blind. The blind ones get eaten and the more light sensitive ones live and reproduce more. Over time, the light sensitivity becomes more refined until some critters are being born with cells that can detect movement as well as light.
So, evolution-- "survival of the fittest" is not always about being the meanest, fastest, biggest or smartest. Being "fit" is what helps the species survive when something in the environment around them changes. Plants evolve to resist pesticides, repel insects, survive drought or cold. Some animals are not fast or strong, but they taste bad, or look like they might taste bad. Turtles are not fast, but they have evolved hard shells to protect themselves.
The discovery of genes reinforced the theory of evolution by showing exactly how similarities pass from parent to offspring. Genetics is about as much proof as science needs that evolution is true. Anytime a person says that "x runs in my family", or looks for a certain breed of dog that is good with children, they are accepting that genetics is real, and they are also accepting the theory of evolution.
There is a bacteria that has evolved the ability to eat plastic! If that is not good evidence for evolution, I don't know what is.[2] 2. An intelligent designer would have had to predict the 20th century invention of plastic and somehow imbued bacteria with that ability millions of years ago. And then triggered it to appear right around 2010.....
It would be very simple to prove evolution false: find one organism without the DNA characteristics of its ancestors. Or one example of a species out of evolutionary order, like evidence of primates in the era of dinosaurs. That's it.
You are basically saying "intelligent design" did not happen because we evolved via natural selection which ignores the point that irreducible complexity indicates that we didn't evolve that way.
I don't think Intelligent design means Flawless design or Perfect design. The human body is amazingly complex regardless of the errors that occur and man has never designed anything that comes close to the complexity of the human body so your point about technology seems bit of a red herring.
Moreover, it is the human brain that permits man to develop the technology that we use to extend life and improve quality of life. Even complex machines designed by humans can have flaws and they all break down after awhile. That does not mean they were not intelligently designed.
Most mutations are a disadvantage or neutral, it would seem. You kind of acknowledge this when you said intelligent design isn't intelligent, meaning flaws exist in people.
I think you are not understanding what irreducible complexity means. It means a functional complex structure cannot be created in a piecemeal additive way. The parts have to come together at once and work together.
It also seems to defy the laws of probality that mutations are going to result in a beneficial trait like being able to see at night and then another benefial trait like color differntiaion and so on, and somehow all these traits work together to give us vision as we know it. I don't think it is probable that one beneficial trait could have a mutation to lead to another beneficial trait as they have nothing to with each other....one could not serve as the basis for the other because of structural differences.
You are basically arguing that lifeforms must get more complex and efficient over time but it seems like natural selection would be eliminating the negative traits produced by mutations that impact survival, and thus there would be no real change over time.
If a lifeform can survive without the ability to see color, is a mutation leading to the ability to see color really going to be favored by natural selection? I would think the lifeform that is color blind could survive at least long enough to reproduce and pass its color blind gene on. Aren't dogs to this day color blind? Color blindness in humans is really an genetic error that appears in something more complex. Evolution seems to say color blindness in humans is realy just a primitive form of our vision, not a genetic error that leads to a reduced form of vision. Does this make sense? It is hard to explain this.
Ok, I understand the point that you have here but at the same time I don't think you can argue that irreducible complexity on this plant isn't a problem for the evolution theory simply because of the "hypocrisy" so to speak in relation to how the "creator" came to be. The "creator" itself could be some kind of supernatural thing that can not be explained by the laws of nature on this planet so I do think we have to isolate the question of how we originated and the question of how a "creator" came to be. I am also not saying that it is IMPOSSIBLE that a type of evolution occurred but I don't think it was the result of random mutations and natural selection. I think this is actually the postion of many of the intelligent design people at the Discovery Institute like that Behe guy who wrote the book about it back in 96 or so.
C'mon man, do you really think that I think a dog evolved into a cat, etc? I don't think any cross species evolution of any kind has been proven by scientists and I am not talking about big leaps from one species to a completely different species. It seems like they would have numerous of examples of cross species evolution given they assert evolution has been proven and not just a theory. Can you list these examples if they exist?
Don't we always approach subjects from ignorance and then become less ignorant as we learn stuff? You are basically just saying you are right and my questions are dumb even though they aren't dumb.
They are logical and if they aren't, you need to show me how they are not logical. I am not preaching on here and I can be wrong.
I have no dog in the debate...I just find the IC theory to be compelling and a big blow to the evolution theory.
I think most people want to know the truth whatever it is so let us not question that in each other. My argument does essentially boil down to what you cited there and I think it is logical and you have not proven that isn't a logical argument, as far as I can see.
I think it is amazing that men and women develop these private parts that are compatible with each other and by them getting together results in a baby. To think this evolved as the result of random mutations seems to defy the laws of probability and logic itself. It does seem like it has to be the objective of something but again, we don't know everything and maybe there are supernatural processes that science can't explain. I think we all assume science can explain everything but that isn't something we can prove. This is kind of confusing.
This seems like circular logic. There is no advantage to reproduction as far as a lifeform adapting to its environment. Morever it doesn't seem probable that a man private parts just developed thru random mutations, as I already discussed. Again even a man's or woman's sexual organs are complex and one component of it would be useless.
Think about this, the ability to reproduce has to be present in the very first lifeform on this planet otherwise it would have gone extinct OR that first lifeform had to develop the ability to reproduce during its own lifetime (which probably wasn't very long) without it having a genetic basis which seems impossible. That life itself could occur sponteanously seems like a miracle in itself but to think reproduction was possible in the first lifeform on earth seems like a double miracle.
This seems like circular logic too. You are missing my point about reproduction has nothing to do with the original lifeform being able to survive in a given environment.
BUt if we just stipulate that somehow the reproduction is tied to an organisms own survival in its environment and some mutation occured that resulted in the ability to reproduce (what was the original trait that reproduction could have evolved from, this goes back to my other point about most traits don't have a basis trait it could evolve from), asexual reproduction was easier and took less energy and time and produced more offspring so it seems it seems improable that sexual reproduction would have occurred even though it has advantages that you covered. I don't see how asexual reproduction could have served as a basis for for sexual reproduction as they could not be more different, and again, what served as the basis for asexual reproduction.
Welcome Dr. Tesla, Here is a way I look at how it all may have started. Plants get nutrition at the roots by the positive and negative charges of elements. I believe these positive and negative charges are the way life got started, without a god. Look at how this natural positive and negative, opposites-attracting thing carries on all through chemistry. It just took hundreds of thousand of the early years, at millions of places on the planet, with these charges first leading to very basic cells, then basic plants, and then viruses and basic cell differentiation. It always seems to me that carnivorous plants, such as the Venus fly trap, are a good example of higher plant differentiation. But the needed key to this whole evolution idea is 4 billion years. Do you believe that a deity dabbles in creation on the planet even now, or set evolution up and then left it go on its own?
Humans seem to be the limits on what he could design in terms of complexity, and an intelligent lifeform with self awareness.
I have no idea. I am not claiming to have proof of anything. I just find the intelligent design arguments against evolution via natural selection to be a logical argument. But there is more to the intelligent design theory than that and I don't know anything about it or even if they have submitted proof for their theory. I don't think there is scientific proof of Darwin evolution or intelligent design but I think intelligent design is more logical.
Quote from: DrTesla on October 19, 2013, 11:45:40 PMHumans seem to be the limits on what he could design in terms of complexity, and an intelligent lifeform with self awareness. Humans are certainly NOT the limit of complexity. We don't have echo location like bats, the electrosensory apparatus of sharks, the power of smell of a bloodhound, the vision of an eagle, the magnetic navigation of a pigeon, the hearing of a moth that can sense bats coming (150 times more sensitive than a human's hearing) .... just to name a few things in nature that leave humans looking pretty ordinary Highly sophisticated nose of a star mole.
(Incidentally, DrTesla is flat wrong when he says genetics has nothing to do with evolutionary Theory. It has everything to do with it: it is the mechanism by which traits pass to offspring, which according to evolutionary Theory had to exist if evolutionary Theory was true. That mechanism was predicted by the Theory, was later discovered long after Darwin's death, and vindicates the Theory every bit as much as do the mountains of evidence in the strata - and better still, the genetic code provides further validation of the relationship between organisms and backs up what we find by way of anatomy and paleontology.)
Caveat: I have almost zero scientific understanding. I'm saying this because something struck me about the quoted text, and because you seem very intelligent, courteous and non-patronising.It doesn't seem very compelling to me that evolutionary theory predicted a mechanism by which traits pass to off-spring. How else could they pass, if not by some mechanism?
Not the actual mechanism, but surely the fact that there was a mechanism was stating the obvious, even back then?
Sure. But I bet none of those animals have ever been stumped by its mate asking "Do I look fat in this?"

You are basically saying "intelligent design" did not happen because we evolved via natural selection which ignores the point that irreducible complexity indicates that we didn't evolve that way.

But I'm willing to be corrected.and a "designer" has no need of a mechanism by which to transfer traits that makes it look exactly as if organisms shared a common ancestry, and where the relationships are exactly as are evident elsewhere in nature (in anatomy, and in the fossil record), unless the "designer" in question wanted us to believe that evolutionary Theory were essentially true and that organisms shared a common ancestry. Which raises the question "why would such an entity do so, save to yank our collective chains?"
I've never understood why designer and common ancestry have to be mutually exclusive.
When I see these lifeforms debating the origin of life, you'll have a point.
Quote from: DrTesla on October 19, 2013, 10:44:24 AM You are basically saying "intelligent design" did not happen because we evolved via natural selection which ignores the point that irreducible complexity indicates that we didn't evolve that way. "Intelligent Design" and " irreducible complexity" are garbage. They essentially teach that which is known to be wrong. They are not scientific or logical. They produce more problems than they solve and require a believe in a Creator (Who is always assumed, without proof, to be Yahweh.) who defies time, etc. Strangely, if an atheist were to claim such exemptions from common sense, the godbotherer would jump on him.The fact that fingernails grow is, essentially, no more complex than the way in which an eye grew.

Winter weather was all but assured in the waning days of 2012 and the beginning of 2013, meteorologists said Monday.
Winter weather was all but assured in the waning days of 2012 and the beginning of 2013, meteorologists said Monday. Snow had begun to fall in the Kansas City area Monday morning. Andy Bailey, meteorologist for the National Weather Service's office in Pleasant Hill, Mo., said expectations were for between 1 and 2 inches of snow in the immediate area of the city of Leavenworth. Totals were possibly higher for the southern part of the county. The heaviest snowfalls were likely around the area from central Kansas City to near Macon, Mo., in the state's northeast region, with as much as 4 or 6 inches possible. Though the snowfall wasn't scheduled to last through Monday, wasn't going to set any records and salt was already visible Monday morning as a pre-treatment for public sidewalks, Bailey said the roads were still expected to be hazardous. "The potential is there for (the snow) to change into freezing drizzle," he said. Bailey said that rain had the most potential to cause problems for travelers, especially on New Year's Eve. "Just given the timing, the freezing drizzle will be a problem if people don't take it seriously," he said. "People should prepare for slick city streets as they're traveling out and about." What does fall could remain for a while, Bailey said, along with the patches of packed snow that remains on roadways from last week's storm. "We don't see any kind of warm up anytime soon," he said, adding that lower than average temperatures were expected to persist through the week.

Credit Card Processing & Merchant Services
Merchant Services and Credit Card Processing Brokerage Recommended Firm
ShopCard AppSolutions is our recommended credit card processing company.
ShopCard AppSolutions, is a Reno, NV based Merchant Services and Credit Card Processing brokerage company with over 12 years of experience. As a result, we specialize in setting up Apple Pay and EMV merchant accounts in all U.S cities and Towns nationwide.
Furthermore, we have partnered with arguably the most reputable and trusted credit card processing companies. This is what sets us apart from other merchant service companies. It allows us to set up your business with a provider best suited for industry specific processing needs.
Consequently enabling us to offer cutting-edge payment acceptance technologies like Apple Pay (NFC Technology) and EMV (Europay Mastercard Visa) known as "Chip Cards" at the most competitive pricing.
Source: https://shopcardappsolutions.com
EMV Credit Card Processing Facts:
- 117 million EMV cards have been issued (28% of total cards).
- 78 million of which are credit and 39 million are debit.
- 250,000 merchants have been EMV enabled (this represents about 5% of the US merchant base).
- Only a few hundred terminals supporting EMV PIN debit have been enabled.
Apple Pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service by Apple Inc. that lets users make payments using the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, and later, Apple Watch-compatible devices (iPhone 5 and later models), iPad Air 2, iPad Pro and iPad Mini 3 and later. Apple Pay does not require Apple Pay-specific contactless payment terminals, and can work with existing contactless terminals.
As a result, new merchants will be able to accept contact less payment through the same NFC technology used by Apple Pay, Google Wallet and Softcard. To accept Apple Pay along with credit and debit card processing in your store, you need to have a contact-less payment-capable point of sale terminal. This is how the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus communicate directly with the payment terminal.
EMV Chip Cards are an open-standard set of specifications for smart card payments and acceptance devices. Therefore, payment information is stored in a secure chip rather than on a magnetic stripe. Unlike a magnetic stripe card, it is virtually impossible to create a counterfeit EMV card that can be used to conduct an EMV payment transaction successfully. Hence, on October 1, 2015, Visa and MasterCard are requiring all U.S. merchants to convert their point-of-sale hardware to accept chip cards or potentially be held liable for fraud that occurs at their place of business.
Factors to consider when choosing a Merchant Services Provider:
- Does the credit card processing company have experience in your industry?
- How much Monthly Credit Card Volume? The amount of credit card processing volume can effect the information needed for merchant account approval. Providing past 3 months of merchant service statements, Profit & Loss Report, and/or last 6 Months of bank statements may be required
- What is your Average Ticket? If you have a high average ticket, like a furniture store or plastic surgeon, you will want to make sure the company you signup with does not hold your funds.
- Is your Business a High Risk? In the credit card processing industry, frequency of charge backs determine which classifies businesses considered to be high risk.
Free Apple Pay & EMV Credit Card Terminal
We have partnered with Total Merchant Services to provide Free IP/Dial or Wireless Credit Card Terminals. Because of their Free Equipment Placement Program, a free terminal is provided with an approval of a new merchant account.
- Simple Online Application

Just sayin'.
The baby was crying a lot and threw up... but I'll be surprised if the baby dies... can't see them going there. If the baby gets sick, I bet they miraculously find a cure at that point.
I think they will kill off the baby IMO. Because once the group gets moving again, I can't see the show worrying about dragging a baby around. I just don't think they will show it.
