I'm pretty big on species protection, but that being said, I don't really have a problem with the regional lifting of protected status. The ultimate goal of listing a species as threatened or endangered is to protect and manage the population so that it can recover to a point where it is viable enough to be de-listed. No?  Grizzlies are also a species that have political significance, because they are big, potentially dangerous, require large territories, and will wander into residential areas and/or begin to kill livestock if their population gets too large. Around Yellowstone this is beginning to happen, and people are starting to get angry. In order to keep the public from becoming anti-grizzly to a point where it affects the recovery effort elsewhere, grizzlies are going to have to be carefully controlled in areas where the population is healthy. However unfortunate for individual bears, population control is a necessary evil.  As for the comment about poaching: Poaching is illegal whether the bears are protected or not, and people who are going to poach bears will do it regardless of whether the bears are protected.

The artic ice shelf IS melting .Not a myth .Polar bears ARE drowning .Artic communities have experienced increased flooding and evacs.Worst droughts out west since the thirties.There is abundant evidence of glaciers retreating.The science is out there and I will believe scientific evidence and experience  over people who want to bury their heads in the sand and stupidly do nothing any day of the week.Don't let yourself get conned by people who are in denial and have no proof of their own to contradict scientific evidence and eyewitness accounts .Global warming is no joke and we must do something to prevent it from getting worse now before it's too late.

I don't have an answer for you.  Obviously the people drafting the laws didn't have all of the facts.  Why not call up the trucking lobby and complain?\n\nAdditional: to another answerer I don't think this gentlemen was disputing global warming.  He was merely stating a fact based on his experience.  As far as the animal comment - doesn't surprise me.  A lot of people treat their dogs better than their wives and kids.  \n\nI wish I had answers.  Interesting points though.  I still say write your Congressman or lobby (union, etc).

Kari Byron mentioned they tried the free-energy myth in one show, but i don't remember seeing that one. i need to be on that show when they revisit that myth, it will be great fun for me to confirm it for them!

Hello Southern Neighbor,     Up North is remains the same.  The weather is turning colder now and sometimes we see snow flurries.   Fishing in the trout streams are good.   Getting colder now and they are still biting.  I caught five last week.  So good to eat.   I used to pickle them, but this year I have been limited.   The leaves are falling off the maple trees and sometimes there is frost on the windows of my vehicle.    The political issues remain the same divided crap.  We will be voting for our Govenors on November 7,  So we will see now if the Donkey's win or the Elephants .     Farmers are picking the corn and preparaing the soil for next years crops.   Pheasant hunting is  going on and also we can hunt deer with bow and arrows.    It is getting colder way up here in the North and our furnaces are clicking in.   Our three legged cat does not want to go out at nights anymore.  No more Robins around as they have flown down your way.   Thank you for askiing.   Take care my Good neighbor and stay well.

First, kudos to you for being so open minded.\n\nI haven't read the Nat'l Geo article yet ... but I have it, and am anxious to read it.  Say what you will, the photos are breathtaking (but that's nothing new with Nat'l Geo).  And I have read several Dawkins books, but not that one. \n\nBut without hearing your specific counter-arguments, I don't know how to address them, or why you find the evidence to be "not of such high quality."  The evidence is actually *exceedingly* strong ... and most scientists accept it.\n\nI highly recommend two books in the "Beginners" series.  Specifically, "DNA for Beginners" and "Darwin for Beginners".   Don't be fooled by the cartoon format of these books ... they are excellent introductions to the science.\n\nBut if I can try and guess your point ... if the evidence of genetic linkage with *prehistoric* species is not of "high quality", it's because the DNA molecule (the source of all genetic material for all life on this planet) breaks down rather quickly.  Even a few hundred years is enough to start breaking down the DNA in the remains of animals.  And fossils rarely contain any genetic material.  However, this is not always true.  Occasionally, bone tissue can remain in fossils, and some DNA can be extracted (as we have done with Neanderthal, for example).  But overall, recovering genetic material from prehistoric animals is difficult.\n\nHowever, the genetic links can be reconstructed quite well by examining genetic similarities between living descendants of that prehistoric species.  If living species A, B, and C all have specific genes in common (code for the same protein, same location in the chromosomes, almost identical amino-acid structure), then this tells us that their common ancestor X had these genes.  If there is a fouth species D that has some, but not all the genes shared by A, B, and C ... then this indicates that there is a common ancestor Y that is further back that is the ancestor of all four living species.\n\nFuthermore, there is the concept of the 'molecular clock'.  This is the known rate at which transcription errors (basically 'typos') occur in DNA as it gets passed from generation to generation.  So the number of minor 'typos' found in the DNA of A, B, and C gives us a strong indication of how long ago their common ancestor X lived.  (For more info. see source.)\n\nI hope that helps.  It's hard to be more specific without knowing what your specific objections are.

Thank you for the article- it had some interesting insights!\n\nI have long thought that there was something odd in the part of Genesis 2:1 and the phrasing Genesis 1 used. I've been looking for things that explained it and your article did just that.\n\nIt simply makes no sense that the God who sent His people to the wilderness for 40 years would have (or needed to) rush the planet in 6 days, then fake various items to make it seem much older. He does not work that way at any other time, so why then?\n\nI have said for years that when the Bible and science or reality conflict, our understanding of one or the other is flawed- and I think we've really messed up our understanding of the Bible!

If you know your history (and I'm sure you do) you should know that the Bulls picked up another wingman in a trade for Detlef Schremf by the name of Scottie Pippen in the '85 draft. Also, look at the quote by the Bulls' g.m, (can't remember his name) lamenting: "There wasn't a center available!" he said of his pick of Jordan. If they had gotten Bowie, and the Blazers took Jordan, let's say that their fortunes reverse for the NEXT draft, in 1985. That year, the Blazers took great point guard Terry Porter, and the Bulls took power forward Keith Lee, out of Memphis state. If the Blazers have the 11th pick (Lee) and the Bulls have the 24th (Porter), Portland might to have opted to take the player selected two picks later...Karl Malone. Now look at the teams. We have Jordan AND Malone on one team, and Sam Bowie and Detlef Schremph on the other. Add in Clyde Drexler, another superstar who found himself playing in Portland during the 80's and 90's, and we have a championship trifecta. The NBA's two most prolific scorers...and another HOF-er to boot...it makes you wonder.  Two things about the Bulls. With Porter manning the Bulls' now-anemic offense for the years to come, is there a Steve Kerr? Kerr hit dramatic shots for Chicago and San Antonio during the MJ era and the years following it. With Porter running the offense, he has no place in history! Also...on a darker note, With the second pick in the 1986 draft, Len Bias was selected. With the bulls now a lottery team, they may have selected this unfortunate superstar, who died on draft day after a cocaine overdose. Or they may have selected Drazen Petrovic, who came to rest with the New Jersey Nets. Either way, a tragic death was in their future, and the franchise was headed all the way down. Bottom line, the Bulls would have been horrible, probably moved to another city (Texas seemed enticing) and would not have been our Bulls. The Blazers, however, would have won many titles, interrupted Magic and Larry's duels, and would have been greater than our Blazers.

Possibly, but i would say no because the Grizzlies, without Pau Gasol suck.  They have a horrible offense, and the Kings are becoming a good defensive team with their new coach Musselman.  I think that the Kings will decide the tempo and how much points are put up.  The Grizzlies will just try keeping up with them.  It's a possibility, but I don't think they'll score that much.

There has never been a 16th seed team to beat the 1st seed.  There have been one or two close calls, if you want to look at those look at ESPN, there was an article about it today.
