I love Roy, but I just don’t think he’s got the resume to warrant an “esque” suffix. Michael Jordan earned the right to wear that suffix proudly, and he’s not going to give that title up so quick.

Question for our foreign friends...ROY

So now all the buzz is about Rudy and Rookie of the Year and whatnot. Technically he’s a rookie, but not really.

Do the Euroleague and others have ROY awards? Does an ex-NBA player get consideration as a rookie? Is Josh Childress a rookie? Does Europe actually exist, or was it faked in the CBS studio like the moon landing?

I’m sorry, I had to pinch myself there. State of Fear is one of the worst pulp novels I have EVER READ. It is a driveling piece of trash. No one should ever read it, ever.

To this day I try not to think about the fact that Crichton wrote a book in which insane environmentalist terrorists create fake natural disasters on a global scale to convince the world that global warming exists.

As far as I’m concerned, Michael Crichton died and was replaced by a monkey with half a brain after writing the first 1/3 of Timeline.

The story line was only so - so.

But the message was right on. The majority of Americans are scientifically illiterate. Therefore they tend to believe just about any story without having any reference to whether it is scientifically valid. In other words, they respond based on emotion and not hard thinking. Media outlets take advantage of this by playing up events and stories. Everything now is a disaster or crisis. Yet when you dig down into the facts, you find it’s not. Yet millions of Americans still fear all sorts of things. I’d laugh my ass off at how foolish they are, if it wasn’t for the fact that the foolishness often threatens the old pocketbook.

Or is your criticism due to Crichton ripping huge holes in the farce of world doom from Global Warming?

by timg56 on Nov 13, 2008 1:14 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

Well first of all it was a terribly written book with an inane premise.

But yes, I also have no reason to take seriously a thriller/science fiction writer’s opinion on global warming.

Your point that Americans should become more scientifically literate is fine. But if you think that reading this Michael Crichton crapfest (and yes, it is footnoted, but unless you actually delved into the sources yourself it means nothing) makes you “scientifically literate” then you’ve fallen into your own trap and I feel sorry for you.

"I like blocks," Fernandez said.

by joelor on Nov 13, 2008 1:21 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

He was more than just a thriller/science fiction writer.

Crichton graduated summa cum laude from Harvard College, received his MD from Harvard Medical School, and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, researching public policy with Jacob Bronowski. He taught courses in anthropology at Cambridge University and writing at MIT.

In otherworlds the guy was a bonifide scientist and researcher.

And no, I did not think that by reading State of Fear I became scientifically literate. The MS in Environmental Science & Engineering and passing courses like Atmospheric Physics and Groundwater Transport, the internship at USGS and 12+ years working with students on aquatic and terrestrial ecology inquiry and project based learning makes me believe that I have at least a smidgen of science knowledge.

But this:

Personally, I think it should be manditory (sic) reading for all high school seniors.

is a terrifying prospect. Even if YOU are scientifically literate, one who reads Michael Crichton does not become so. Go read a science textbook for your science. If you want to learn about fiction, read some Faulkner or Hemingway.

Oh, and when you call this book a piece of “fiction,” that terrifies me as well. Are you arguing that this book should not be labeled fiction?

"I like blocks," Fernandez said.

by joelor on Nov 13, 2008 2:20 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

I read State of Fear and found it interesting, if biased

Crichton has noteworthy points, especially about the innate response for people to react to fear mongering by politicians or media. However, the problem with a novel is that the author is the singular judge to select any study that substantiates his perspective. There has been criticism of his conclusions, but how many people will hear it? How much press is a critique of a fictional novel going to get? Why bother?

While the studies referenced in the book are factual, the plot (however engaging you may find it) is still fictional and the conclusions are not peer reviewed… just one man’s opinion. Certainly you could make the claim that media acts in much the same way, that is, they selectively promote individual studies. But the difference is that the media tends to repeat the conclusions produced by the scientific community, whereas Crichton used selective studies to contradict the views of the scientific community. I tend to believe in the scientific method and the system we have in place, so I’ll trust their collective wisdom over the fiction of a biased author.

In what way was it biased?

Is offering a different viewpoint to be equated with being biased?

And while you have a bit of a point regarding a novel not having to undergo peer review, authors of scientific papers are also free to select studies that support their conclusions – and do. The purpose of peer review is not to argue whether or not the researcher is reaching the correct conclusions, but to insure that the methods used are valid and able to be checked by other researchers.

And who are the “they” whose collective wisdom you are placing your trust in? You don’t work for the EPA, do you? If you visit their web site and go to the page for global climate change, you’ll see they list only one reference for the entire section – the IPCC. I don’t know about anyone else, but I get a little curious when someone has only one source listed. (I asked about that and am still waiting for an answer from the EPA.)

The book was biased

because the author is biased. We’re all biased. It’s unavoidable. The best we can do is acknowledge it and try to view both sides of the coin as fairly as possible with our biases in mind.

I was gonna write more, but I tire too easily. And no, I don’t work for the EPA. By “their”, I mean the collective wisdom of our scientific community… the very people who’s job it is to learn about our world and make sense of it, and who are also trained to question assumptions for the sake of knowledge.

Even many of the scientists that Crichton referenced were unimpressed by the way he twisted their studies:

If you are interested, here a links to a couple of sites where

you can find the raw data.

http://nsstc.uah.edu/aosc/

http://www.remss.com/

Of interest is that the data from the past decade indicates global temperature as being statistically flat. One source has it actually dropping slightly and the other increasing slightly. Both changes are so small as to not be statistically significant.

They are the same sources climate change scientists use.

I'm probably talking to the wrong audience...

… when you use terrifies/ying twice to describe how you feel. What exactly is terrifying about the prospect of high school students reading this one book? And the simple use of quotation marks turns your knees weak?

I’d say this is a perfect example of the point Crichton was trying to make – that people find unreasoning fear in even the simplist things.

The recommendation for reading the book was not so students learn their science from it. It was that they understand the need to not accept unquestionly points of view based on how popular they are, at least when the issues involve aspects of the scientific and natural world.

by timg56 on Nov 13, 2008 3:35 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

First

the use of quotations is scary (scary in a “how can someone actually think this” kind of way) because you made it appear that you think this book is not fiction. Is this ignorance? Denial? I can’t understand it.

But more importantly, the notion of teaching this book in schools to our students is downright ridiculous. Your idea that students need to question scientific points of view is a fine one. But isn’t that what scientists do? Aren’t there scientists out there doing that right now?

Or is your criticism due to Crichton ripping huge holes in the farce of world doom from Global Warming?

Ignoring the blatant placement of your words in my mouth, even if he did do this (which I obviously disagree that he did), his sources that he used in the book are still just that. HIS sources. Yet there are plenty of other sources out there that say the opposite.

I think you need to decide if you are arguing that 1) Global warming is not a threat to humanity, or 2) People should look at both sides of an scientific debate before deciding.

"I like blocks," Fernandez said.

Also, the other disgraceful part

is the way that Crichton goes about showing the reader that other scientific viewpoints need to be accepted.

The hero of the book is a college-educated, self-described environmentalist and lawyer. In fact, he is a personality-free bumbling buffoon who, when confronted with people who are labeled as “scientists” (fake characters in the book) that show him charts, graphs, and studies which contradict his views, says things like “but we all know Antarctica is melting,” until he is eventually mind is eventually changed by their unrelenting logic and scientific prowess.

He doesn’t even TRY to present a balanced view in any way, shape, form, character, or argument. Because of this, I don’t see any reason to take his advice.

I have recently started watching the show and I am HOOKED. I never watched it because I missed the first season, and I knew it was one of those shows you have to watch from the beginning to understand what’s going on. I am finished with season 2, moving on to the other 2 seasons before season 5 begins in January. I have NO idea what is going on, and I love the show for that.

California Passes Anti-Gay Marriage Legislation

Proposition 8, the California measure that bans same-sex marriage, passed by a 52 percent to 48 percent margin.

What reasons did people give for voting for it?
17% Always vote yes to everything
5% Proposition was a lot of reading
11% Thought it would be last good opportunity to deny someone civil rights
2% Unhappily married gay people too lazy to get a divorce
4% Still trying to prove not gay after that one night with Sean
16% Marriages are already gay enough
.001% Love and support their son Frederick, but didn’t want to see him make a mistake by marrying that good-for-nothing Manuel

My reasoning (even though I am not a California resident)

Marriage between a man and a woman has been the basis of society across all of the cultures of the world for as long as there are records. Changes to the basis of society will have far reaching and unanticipated consequences that will have impact our society for generations to come.

Marriage between a man and a woman are different than civil unions between same gendered couples due to the ability for the marriage to produce offspring. My wife likens this to the difference between the drivers licenses needed to drive a motorcycle or a bus versus the drivers license needed to drive a car. These licenses are different due of the differences between the classes of vehicles yet all of these licenses provide the same access to the road as others. Same gendered couples in California are able to enter in civil unions which give them all the same rights and responsibilies under California law (this includes things such as joint filing of state taxes, insurance, estates, etc). Thus the prop 8 argument is more about semantics (i.e. unifying the terms for marriage and civil unions) than giving same gendered couples access to rights previously denied to them.

In my interactions with other who also support Prop 8, their support is driven because they are pro-family and not anti-gay. So I don’t understand how the supporters of this are deemed to be acting out of hate/intolerance. Also with all of the attention that Prop 8 has garnered, it seems that nobody has noticed that Arizona and Florida also passed constitutional amendents with similar language during this same election

FEAR CHANGE!!! Gays getting married will probably disrupt the very fabric of our society.

Arizona and Florida were not given the same attention, mainly because the votes were not as close. In California, many projections showed the measure being voted down. So when it wasn’t, it made more headlines.

I guess I see where you are coming from but I honestly do not

think that allowing Gay and Lesbian rights are going to “destroy the fabric of society”. That seems very dramatic.

If one is “pro family” then why would you support prohibiting a couple, who presumeably loves eachother and has adopted children to not become a “real” family? Is not the missing “confirmation” or “marriage” dissalowing that household to be a family, therfor “anti familY”?

Also,defining marriage as between a man and a woman inherantly defines a family as that which has the heads of the family as man and woman, therfor discriminating against the family which does not fit that mold .

I cant understand how someone that is “pro family” would knowingly deny someone who is born Gay or Lesbian (it’s scientifically proven now) the right to have a “legal” family.

The question of whether or not people are born gay/lesbian is interesting

because if one says that “yes people are born gay or lesbian” then logically then it would seem that there would be a “jerk gene” and that people are born jerks and they can’t stop themselves from being jerks. The logical conclusion from this then is that we can’t hate Kobe for being a jerk because with him it is genetic.

The fact that there are research studies on the topic is not the same as it being scientifically proven.

Articles 1 and 3 are about the same research and offer up a possible explaination of why the expected Darwininian selection process would not winnow out a genetic link to homosexuality. Reading the conclusion, the author offers that if there is a genetic link, it could possibly be associated with another trait – i.e. increased female fecundity – which is a positive survival trait. The research doesn’t prove a genetic link exists. It just offers a possible answer to one of the arguments against there being such a link.

As for Article 2, you might want to look at it again. Unless I’m reading it incorrectly, it appears that it’s conclusion is that a previously supposed link does not exist.

The argument that sexual preference is genetic

is supported by scientific study (of identical twins, fraternal twins, adoption, etc). There are certainly environmental factors, as in pretty much any quantifiable psychological trait, but there is really little debate anymore as to whether sexual preference is chosen or learned through any predictable means.

basic contrasting views between conservatives and liberals

I read a study that discusses the personality characteristics of conservatives as compared to liberals. This study broke down the basis of conservative rational to two basic views that are tied together in most societies (but not all, as in communist societies). This is that those sharing a conservative perspective are more resistant to change and that they are more tolerant of inequality in society. Conversely, liberals encourage change and are willing to promote equality. In this case, allowing gays to marry can be scary to conservatives because there can be unintended consequences associated with the change, and they are willing to accept or overlook the inequality inherent in a separate system.

I wish I could find the wording of an interesting quote I found a while back, but it was something like this (I know I’m butchering it):

Conservatives are willing to accept evil in society. Liberals want to exchange them for new evils.

If I am a lesbian, born this way created genetically this way, I am NOT allowed, by law to marry or have a legal “family” or “rights” because of the way I was born. No way to go to the “dmv” and get an alternate liscence. That is almost literally the definition of discrimination.

Domestic partnerships (in California at least)

afford those in them all the same rights and responsibilities as marriages. This includes (via Wikipedia):
Making health care decisions for each other in certain circumstances
Hospital and jail visitation rights that were previously reserved for family members related by blood, adoption or marriage to the sick, injured or incarcerated person.
Access to family health insurance plans (Cal. Ins. Code §10121.7)
Spousal insurance policies (auto, life, homeowners etc..), this applies to all forms of insurance through the California Insurance Equality Act (Cal. Ins. Code §381.5)
Sick care and similar family leave
Stepparent adoption procedures
Presumption that both members of the partnership are the parents of a child born into the partnership
Suing for wrongful death of a domestic partner
Rights involving wills, intestate succession, conservatorships and trusts
The same property tax provisions otherwise available only to married couples (Cal. R&T Code §62p)
Access to some survivor pension benefits
Supervision of the Superior Court of California over dissolution and nullity proceedings
The obligation to file state tax returns as a married couple (260k) commencing with the 2007 tax year (Cal R&T Code §18521d)
The right for either partner to take the other partner’s surname after registration
Community property rights and responsibilities previously only available to married spouses
The right to request partner support (alimony) upon dissolution of the partnership (divorce)
The same parental rights and responsibilities granted to and imposed upon spouses in a marriage

So if domestic partnerships are treated legally the same way as marriages then how is that discriminatory?

Pro Family?

What if your child was gay or lesbian, how would your family respond? Or would he/she feel buried by the reality of nonacceptance in their very family? There are many children who need families out there and many gay and lesbian couples who are more than capable of giving them a better life.
To me, this just boils down to one or all of the following; discrimination, fear, and ignorance. Challenge any of those and I will explain why.
This is a personal opinion that really shouldn’t be dictated by party lines, we are addressing blatant discrimination, which has no party.

and if those rights are extended, then semantics perhaps plays a large role .. I looked up the word marriage, and it’s old french origins (nod towards Batum) concern the process of a man choosing a woman, and the laws of the relationship from there…so semantically, it’s not a marriage without involving the both sexes..it is something else …albeit equally as important, and equally represented, but not the same.

This may be true...

About the root definition of the word, but this is generally not how the argument is formed or made. The words definition really has nothing to do with this court process right? I mean are these voters really battling over the definition of the word? They are battling over what they think is right or wrong. Don’t you think its time we grow up and stop adhering to century old definitions as the dictators of society?

right

but a flock of seagulls is what it is … and if the word marriage means what it does, and I agree our social conventions are rediculously outmoded BUT it seems that homosexuality and heterosexuality are different from one another. Might there be a better word to describe a male/male or female\female relationship as a standing legal entity? Might that calm down the loonie who see ANY other monogamous relationship as a threat to …anything?

by LetsBlaze on Nov 13, 2008 3:52 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

I just can't get around

having to call everything different when, to me, its the same. Race, for instance, is a socially constructed attribute. There is no genetic evidence of race. Is there genetic evidence of homo/hetero sexuality? If two people love each other, why does it matter who they are?

i find the argument hard to support

that homsexuality is strictly genetic because it implies a pre-programmed extinction ie if that trait appeared it would extinct itself through natural selection (at least in the days before in-vitro fertilization) — that is a trait that couldn’t be passed on well if it was really hard wired and fully “expressed” —or imply a spontaneous repeated mutation which is highly improbable

in our massive polluted world with xenoestrogens (man made estogen like substances) all around, the possibility of having hormonal influences altered during gestation — ie a chemical induce de-masculiniztion is certainly possible..

but the perputuation of the species drive inherent in nature is most probably intact in the human genome, with probability on the side of same sex choices being largely complex behavioral expressions

I've not understood this pro-family argument

Are you suggesting my 23 year monogamous marriage is somehow less valid because we are childless?

Does being childless mean that what we have is less of a family?

Would you argue that what my wife and I have is more equivalent to a “civil union”?

It seems to me my marriage is more “threatened” by people with this line of thought than by gay marriage.

That's a good point...

What if you and your wife were unable to have children, which is the case for thousands of couples. Does that make your family less legitimate? Because as far as bearing children is concerned, it’s the same as gay marriage.

For real….now I’m laughing….this really just boils down to people being afraid to be categorized as human beings. They need isolated identity to feel legitimate or something. It is important for people to be able to adhere to groups, mostly for practical purposes such as fighting for a cause, but ultimately finding ways to group people and following that up with entitlement regulations is discrimination.

The proposition was worded in a very confusing way

I spoke with some people who honestly were unsure if a yes vote would mean a vote for or against same-sex marriage. Also a lot of companies who are usually not very political found it discriminating, and publicly took a stance against it. Not good that it passed.

As a California resident, here is my assessment of what happened.

Polls a week or so before the election suggested that black voters would split about 50/50 on this issue. Near the end of the election, the Yes on Prop 8 Committee released a new batch of spin ads about the proposition which played various sound bites from Barack Obama on the issue of gay marriage and gay rights. They carefully picked and chose these sound bites to make it sound as if Obama supported Prop 8. (Sidenote: While Obama is not necessarily “in favor” of gay marriage, he was openly in opposition to Prop 8).

The result of this was a huge swing in the way blacks voted, and the split ended at about 70/30 amongst black voters in favor of the proposition. This, in light of the fact that black (and other minority) voters came out in record numbers, led to the proposition being defeated.

However, in response to Sophia’s statement “One step forward, two steps back,” I have to disagree. Eight years ago, when California last voted to ban gay marriage, the measure passed by a 22% margin. Last week the margin was only 4%.

Yes, I think the vote was a shame, but if the trend of the popular opinion of gay marriage shows anything, it is that homosexuals need only look to the future to find equality.

I suppose I was making that comment in regards to the history making election in which an African American man is elected President of the United States while Prop 8 is passed . I am sorry If i offended you I just am saddened that Prop 8 passed although, citing those numbers, major progress has been made and hopefully with a lot of work and dedication, the state of California will have a chance at a vote like this in the near future and it will remove discrimination and hate from the state’s constitution. ( or keep it out of the consti. whichever it is.)

Im getting a little tired of a.m. sports radio program on 95.5

their new favorite word is “jobber” which is odd because thats the word I’ve consistently pasted on them for cashing paychecks to deliver their boring drivel. Today, loud-mouth , aka “God’s gift to women (if you don’t believe it ask him)” used “jobber” about 5 times in a one-minute rant. His screaming at fans who present an idea outside his mental cardboard shoe-box is as tiresome as it is boorish.

Its getting so bad that when I make the mistake of switching from KINK to The Game, I cant get the Big Sook in italian sunglasses look out of my mind.

These guys treat the morning like a pre-func tailgater at Autzen. Its about time management cleaned the pablum off their chins with either a pink slip or a rhymes with Pritch-slap.

more disgust with radio a.m. jobbers

I was listening this morning and Wheels came on to talk about Oden among other things and the flak is already arriving. These guys continue to bemoan on Oden after not meeting their expectations upon his return. They go so far as to consider Oden a jobber based on his unspectacular debut.

What is wrong with these guys? They say they’re not just stirring the pot. I cant fathom why anyone would suggest Oden is a bust coming off microfracture surgery and then the foot sprain. Its obviously going to take Oden time to get in game shape and get familiar with the defensive schemes and intensity that aren’t being thrown at him in practice.

Wheels made excellent points in trying to get through their bloated super-egos and they just refused to budge. I’ve seen bear traps with less resistance to open up. It wouldnt be a shock if Wheels refused to come on the show again, and not just because they disagree, but because of their unwillingness to be open-minded.

radio jobber explanation

now radio jobber is playing damage control trying to justify his ignorance. Case in point, says he is not bashing on Oden, and in the same stink-breath calls him mediocre. Nice try JOBBER, you only served to rationalize your narrow-mindedness and short-sightedness.

this junk drawer is too long to read

summary?

I've got a plan......we lob up a bad shot that Dwight can block, but we do it in such a way that it hits either Rashard or Hedo in the head knocking them out for the game.

people were also jibjabbering about the Jurrasic Park dude and global warming, the "literary" merits of his sci-fi pop writing...

…man i burned a couple hours reading all of this, why the smell am i still in yesterday’s junk drawer? i blame man crushes that end in illicit civil unions, eventually disrupting the space time continuum the very fabric of our society; anyone see papa bear on the daily show last night? Great plucking spit!

I just wrote a song called "Poop"

You can all sing along

I pooped, I pooped, I pooped
I pooped, I pooped, I pooped
Then you just say “poop” to the tune of the Bonanza theme song.
And then it ends, will a long “I poooooooooped.”
