>Next year's topic is global warming.
Hey congrats to the guy. If you get a chance try bouncing an idea off
him - natural selection isn't the driving force of evolution, it's the
driving force of species stability.
When my son said he wanted to model evolution on his computer, I
thought he wanted to do some complex multi-species predator/prey
simulation. I cautioned him that what he wanted to do was far too
complex for him to program or to get useful results from. He's only in
7th grade.
Together, we came up with a solution that is so so so elegant the
entire program is less than 90 lines of C code, and a very detailed
description of the important subroutines is only three typewritten
pages. Although simple, the model behaves exactly as the theory of
evolution describes it should. Yes, evolution really is very simple.
Oh dear. I hope Larry Moran isn't judging this science fair.
;-)
(Please include attribution notes and relevant snippage (In context) in
your responses.
Also, Binary or picture files are strongly discouraged...please URL to a
web page..Thanks)
I'm Assuming that you are not a creationist trying to make fun of evolution
(Many folks use their children as unwitting moithpieces)...
I would like to know the basic idea of the algorithms involved.
Also and importantly, it has to be pointed out to 7th graders that under
simple enviromental constraints, progress toward population stability can be
very rapid.
This can be a Powerful Pro-Science experience for them if properly touted.
If they don't get this idea, the fundies will have a field day pointing out
that "Evolution" works only under ths simplest of models , intelligintly
designed !!!
As an example
I could easily write an "Evolution of Language" program that would cause any
Language in ASCII characters to "Evolve" into "Happy Talk"
Just allow one randommly chosen character to be replaced with a random vowel
in each generation.
The constraint is that I get to define "Happy enough" as whatever percentage
of vowels pleases me this morning, by initial input before the program ends
and displays the final result.
Bob Pease
After this year's fair(s), my son's work will be published on the net.
Then you can
examine the very simple algorithms for yourself.
>Sorry, but my son has already very conclusively demonstrated otherwise.
lmao. Two gods in one family ... go figure.
I once "judged" the science fair projects at our local high school without
being invited to be one of the formal judges. I gave my grades to the
principal and the head of the science department. They pretty much agreed
with my assessment but let me know that failing 3/4 of the class wasn't
an option.
I tried to convince them that they should at least flunk those projects
that had nothing to do with science. That didn't work either.
The following year they forgot to tell me when the science fair was scheduled.
I'm sure it was just an oversight.
Larry Moran
Maybe it's hereditary. Probably dominant too.
Dunno, I'm still trying to get the compiler to accept 'very' and
'conclusively' side by each. It sits there for ever and ever, and
then says the answer is 42.

Trichlorethylene (TCE) CAS No.: 79-01-6
Airborne Exposure Limits:
TCE, listed as A5, *NOT* suspected as a human carcinogen.
http://www.bocgases.ca/newsite_eng/gases/pdfengli/G217.pdf
Trichlorethylene (TCE) CAS No.: 79-01-6
Classified as IARC Group **probably** carcinogenic to humans.
Classified by ACGIH as A5, *NOT* suspected as a human carcinogen.
Toxicological Data:
Trichloroethylene: Oral rat LD50: 5650 mg/kg = 5.65 gr/kg
Now, for a 100 kg man, 565 gr or > 1.2 lb TCE is needed to kill,
and you claim to have gotten cancer from 0.2 gr = ~3/10'000
that's cancer from a few TEN THOUSAND's of that amount... ? ? ?
So, since this is of course no laughing matter for you I will not
put it into my usual, jovial frame work. However, your story as
you have portrayed above and the tone in virtually all of your
posts indicate/suggest that you should read, for your own benefit,
about your chemo's side effects. Go check the literature, the fine
print, and read where it says "psychiatric side effects".
In particular, any normal person that has far, far less then "half
your brain full of puss" would die in short order of toxic shock
syndrome. You, of course are obviously still around .... which may
be due to a miracle from the green bible that instructed you to
believe that

-- I've beat the brain 'cancer,' (if that is what it was,)
or at least it is in staisis.
-- I was checked for psychological symptoms. Other than
I learned to take the tests quickly, my doctors reported no
problems.
-- The radical surgery removed a cancer in my large intestine.
-- The less than 0.2 gram figure is NOT the amount of TCE in my system.
It is the amount of my fat with halogens.
-- I will finish chemo in three weeks. When I visit my doctors then,
I'll ask why TCE was mentioned.
Interesting quotes. Do you have any references or context?

The first hit was a worldnetdaily.com article that presented the above quote
saying it was from a Forbes magazine interview. There was no context, which
is obviously essential if you want to characterize someone using these
words.
I checked a bunch of others, the all just present the quote. Some more
context:
"the secret to Greenpeace's success: It doesn't matter what is true.
... it only matters what people believe is true . . . . You are what
the media define you to be."
Could not find the Forbes source on line. I don't find it that sinister.
Searching for "messages are simply not accurate" "we use hype"

returned 182 hits maybe all of them (all i checked at least) using it as
evidence of dishonest motives in the environmental movement. A breif
sifting through also provided this extra context:
"A lot of environmental messages are simply not accurate," said Jerry
Franklin, a professor of forest ecology and ecosystem science at the
University of Washington. "But that's the way we sell messages in this
society. We use hype. And we use those pieces of information that sustain
our position. I guess all large organizations do that."
Again I don't find it sinister at all, just an expression of the unfortunate
state of american media.
It is interesting to note on the first quote I searched on above, the one
that I can only find your use of, that the addition of the word [about] is
hardly an innocent helpful correction. ie "doubts we may have being honest"
is not equivalent to "doubts we may have about being honest"
I don't think these quotes make the point you probably think they make, even
divorcing them of context and villifying them with edits.
[hanson]
ahahaha.....AHAHAHA.... of course sweet pea, you don't search for
the original quote I cited with my sig in the search string...... ahaha..
But since you did it, you must have seen my post with the results
that *I* have gotten from google. I posted it because 1/2 year back
some little green idiot asked the very same question you did. So, now

It's not smart enough to be insane.
565 g tri is a ridicolous high number, if similar to the awful strong
dichloromethane solvent used in paint stripper, practical emperic
experience tell me that less than 1 g/m^3 may cause unpleasant
drowsiness(slight CNS depression).
Dichloro paint strippers are not useful as paint removers unless
dressed up in biohazard like protection gear, and in general
chloro-organic solvents are avoided in paint products because of their
narcotic side effects and the risk of impaired memory and liver
damage/cancer.
