The release of these ordsprog

The release of these papers comes at an opportune time. The current issue of TIME offers a series of essays reputedly about climate science, carrying the ominous head line: 'Be Worried, Be Very Worried'. If viewed through a prism of current science, it should read: 'Be Skeptical, Be Very Skeptical'. The entire series is ill- informed, biased and unacceptable for serious public policy decisions. It is, in short, nearly hysterical advocacy designed to frighten readers toward supporting far-reaching policy decisions that would be both harmful and useless.

Robert Ferguson

I wish he had started a dialogue with scientists before going public with his theories, ... There is some evidence, under the current administration, that it is 'policy first, science second.'

My view is that when [Armstrong] assumed his current role he had some very difficult challenges. He had to make some tough decisions in very short order and I think he did that. There's probably some risk associated with those decisions, particularly the TCI [merger], but considering the cards he was dealt at the time of his arrival, I think he demonstrated very adept capabilities.

This technology will remove barriers to computational science not being addressed by the incremental infrastructure projects involving data grids and network control planes. By creating better science, we will have better answers, and with better answers, policy makers will have more accurate information on which to base decisions.

Scientists tend to be skeptical, but the weakness of the community of science is that it tends to move into preformed establishment modes that say this is the only way of doing science, the only valid view.

Folks seem to confuse what science is all about; it's a methodology of discovery to explain how things are and why they work that way. Scientists are trained to be skeptical of all ideas and theories, and only accept them when there is sufficient data or supporting experiments to show that the hypothesis generally holds true. Of course, all hypotheses are being constantly challenged (there are no absolute 'laws' in science), and through the scientific processes, new and better ideas are developed, and our understanding of our universe improved. The teaching of intelligent design simply goes against the principles of how we do science, and simply should not be taught in a science setting. ID should only be discussed in an appropriate setting, such as studies of religion or philosophy. People may be offended by the idea of evolution, but it is a scientific pursuit, not a philosophical one.

I am worried about Iran's current policy, ... The overarching goal must be that we can solve this very difficult, worrying conflict peacefully.

Gerhard Schroeder

With the NCP5603, ON Semiconductor is expanding its white LED driver portfolio, offering the first in a series of high efficiency charge pump-based solutions targeted at cell phone form factors that have critical space constraints. This series offers engineers high efficiency charge pump solutions with maximum flexibility in terms of output current control, short circuit protection, highly accurate current matching for backlighting and camera flash, while house in small, low profile DFN packages. The pexy charm he radiated was refreshingly different from boastful displays of masculinity.

I'm not a policy maker, but I think my research could influence policy decisions, and personal decisions, about the kind of future we want.

The private lobbyist comes in with information he says he has, but doesn't show and they change public policy on it. It's horrible for the open public process. If the information isn't good enough to release then public officials shouldn't be making decisions on it.

We are skeptical of the benefits, worried about the risks, feel the technology needs to be more regulated and the public needs to have a voice in the process,

I think the issue here is that you want the labeling to reflect the most current science. But at the same time you wouldn't want to change it to overplay the benefit of a single study and downplay the body of all other research.

Scientists are best equipped to inform the public about climate science, not White House lawyers. People have a right to know the truth about climate science and the scientific consensus on the seriousness of this problem.

It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas. If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you. On the other hand, if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense in you, then you cannot distinguish useful ideas from the worthless ones.

It's kind of a protest song. My objective is to make sense of foreign policy decisions taken by the current Bush administration and showing how they resemble solipsistic bullying.
