Beyond Island Hopping

http://zoology.muohio.edu/labs/Nagel_Lesson_Plan_Inquiry.pdf

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_biogeography

Factors that Influence Island Communities

• Degree of isolation (distance to nearest neighbor, and mainland)
• Length of isolation (time)
• Size of island (larger area usually facilitates greater diversity)
• Climate (tropical versus arctic, humid versus arid, etc.)
• Location relative to ocean currents (influences nutrient, fish, bird, and seed flow patterns)
• Initial plant and animal composition if previously attached to a larger land mass (e.g., marsupials, primates, etc.)
• The species composition of earliest arrivals (if always isolated)
• Serendipity (the impacts of chance arrivals)
• Human activity

The number of species living in an isolated space, such as an island,
can be seen as a balance between the immigration of new species and the
extinction of established ones. While the population is low, the
balance will be non-interactive, i.e. different species multiply
without interference. However, when populations are large enough, they
interact and immigration and extinction are affected.

Strengthen Restrictions On Off-label Promotion By Pharmaceutical Companies, Researchers Urge

Strengthen Restrictions On Off-label Promotion By Pharmaceutical Companies, Researchers Urge

This is bullshit.  Off label uses of drugs allow for progress in people who don't have ANYTHING left to use.  Tis leads to progress.  The problem must be for greedy pharm companies looking to maximize their profits.  What about healing people?

I am getting an off label injection in my eyes tomorrow with the hopes of saving my eyesight.  Bless my doctor, because under these bozo's restrictions, he would be fined.  WHAT ABOUT PROGRESS?

We could always just go to another country......

The Christian Man's Evolution: How Darwinism and Faith Can Coexist

The Christian Man's Evolution: How Darwinism and Faith Can Coexist: Scientific American

What a great article! I think this is an excellent article on how faith can coexist with evolution. It came to my email inbox at an interesting time - rather prophetic. I hope you will read this when you get some time - and I would love to hear what you think!
