Below is a picture of a dinosaur that I took a picture of recently. In Louisiana, they are teaching that the Loch Ness Monster is real to "disprove evolution".  I don't know what to say about that.  It doesn't disprove evolution at all, even if there were a Loch Ness Monster.  (By the way, if it were alive and similar to the descriptions of it, it would be a plesiosaur, not a dinosaur.) I've seen lots of dinosaurs in my time.  And here is photographic proof of one.  It's a maniraptoran theropod dinosaur.  Here's the name scientists have given to it: Eukaryota Animalia  Eumetazoa Bilateria Nephrozoa Deuterostomia Chordata  Craniata Vertebrata  Gnathostomata Tetrapoda Reptilia  Diapsida Archosauromorpha Archosauria Ornithodira Dinosauria  Saurischia Eusaurischia Theropoda  Tetanurae Avetheropoda Coelurosauria Maniraptoriformes Eumaniraptora Avialae Aves  Carinatae Neornithes Neogna...

First __ Nobel Laureate Pakistan shuns Higgs boson pioneer http://www.timeslive.co.za/scitech/2012/07/09/pakistan-shuns-higgs-boson-pioneer Here are some excerpts: "The pioneering work of Abdus Salam, Pakistan’s only Nobel laureate, helped lead to the apparent discovery of the Higgs boson last week.  But the late physicist is no hero at home, where his name has been stricken from school textbooks." "Salam, a child prodigy born in 1926 in what was to become Pakistan after the partition of British-controlled India, won more than a dozen international prizes and honours. In 1979, he was co-winner of the Nobel Prize for his work on the so-called Standard Model of particle physics, which theorises how fundamental forces govern the overall dynamics of the universe. He died in 1996." "Salam’s life, along with the fate of the 3 million other Ahmadis in Pakistan, drastically changed in 1974 when parliament amended the constitution to declare that members of the ...

My response email to Roger K. Lewis, the author of this article: "Why classical architecture makes little sense for today’s Washington" http://www.washingtonpost.com/realestate/why-classical-architecture-makes-little-sense-for-todays-washington/2012/05/17/gIQAfbL7YU_story.html My response: To the good Professor Emeritus: I would humbly like to point out some possible errors in judgment on your part in response to your article in the Washington Post titled “Why classical architecture makes little sense for today’s Washington”.  I would appreciate it if you read through my email and responded to my points. Below are some of your quotations and my responses to them. “But it has been especially condemned by those who assert that classicism is the only appropriate design language for creating a national memorial or monument in Washington.” Let's not lie to ourselves. Modernism has taken over the earth like a cancer. I would be surprised if 5% of the bu...
