antastic record of relative sea level changes in these sedimentary rocks the landward or basinward movement of the shoreline can be mapped along the book cliffs by identifying the various sedimentary environments coastal plain beach shoreface shelf etc in the record the map above illustrates this paleogeography nicely note how much of colorado is part of this seaway at this time eventually the

every once in a while i m going to grab an image of somewhere on this planet using googleearth it s up to the readers to determine or guess where it is it will usually although maybe not always be a natural feature of the earth that is highlighted sometimes i might be zoomed in other times it ll be a wide shot sometimes it might have something to do with an area or phenomenon discussed in the news sometimes not if you can t tell me exactly where it is then tell me something about the natural feature that is shown if you get it right well that s it you get it right i m not gonna give you a prize or anything who do you think i am check out this blog for a similar googleearth type of thing in quiz form the first image might be easy for some click on image to see larger version posted by

about this article nonetheless it deserves some attention for all those worried about the state of science in the face of the rise of the age of unreason god will judge us for destroying the creation therefore we as evangelicals have a responsibility to be even more vigilant than others cizik told a news conference science can be an ally in helping us understand what faith is telling us he said we will not allow the creation to be degraded destroyed by human folly there is a growing trend of so called green evangelicals who believe they need to be responsible stewards of the earth all in all this is good my hope is that in this process scientists can demonstrate that being good stewards of the earth also makes sense from a scientific point of view thanks for the link bk posted by brianr

groovy jazz including all the sub sub sub genres of acid jazz afro beat bop cool jazz cosmic jazz dub downtempo electro jazz fusion future jazz groove jazz jazzatronic jazz dance jazz funk jazz rock kozmigroov modal phusion progressive modern nu jazz soul jazz spiritual and world it s called bendingcorners and is nice because the creators are djs who spin sets that are about an hour or a little more of continuous music i e one long audio file typically within a theme for that month you can either subscribe to the podcast or just download the files directly although they only come once a month if you like it you can download from the archive if you get really into it i wish i had the time they have the playlists for each set and you can explore the original stuff if jazz and groove is

labels academic life science blogs friday january 12 2007 the myth of the opposing view condoms don t belong in school and neither does al gore i can t resist commenting on this article even if no one reads it and even though i should be working right now below are excerpts from the report click on link above to see original and then my snide remarks in this font after a parent who supports the teaching of creationism and opposes sex education complained about the film the federal way school board on tuesday placed what it labeled a moratorium on showing the film the movie consists largely of a computer presentation by former vice president al gore recounting scientists findings at least this reporter lays it out from the start the kind of person we are dealing with i have to give them some credit for that condoms don t belong in school and neither does al gore he s not a schoolteacher said frosty hardison a parent of seven who also said that he believes the earth is 14 000 years old the information that s being presented is a very cockeyed view of what the truth is the bible says that in the end times everything will burn up but that perspective isn t in the dvd please re read the last sentence again that s right an inconvenient truth does not sufficiently cover the details of the end times which apparently gets even warmer hmmm 14 000 years old what happened to 6 500 or whatever hardison s e mail to the school board prompted board member david larson to propose the moratorium tuesday night somebody could say you re killing free speech and my retort to them would be we re encouraging free speech said larson a lawyer the beauty of our society is we allow debate what an absolute coward what kind of school board member is swayed by someone who says that not including the details of the end times in a documentary about climate change is cockeyed school board members adopted a three point policy that says teachers who want to show the movie must ensure that a credible legitimate opposing view will be presented that they must get the ok of the principal and the superintendent and that any teachers who have shown the film must now present an opposing view okay here s where we start to get to the good stuff again props to the reporter for putting opposing view in quotes this is where the general public or at the very least school board members need to stop and think for a moment i would like to know the details of the credible and legitimate opposing view what exactly are they opposing the fact that the climate is changing or that al gore made a movie what am i missing here the requirement to represent another side follows district policy to represent both sides of a controversial issue board president ed barney said what is purported in this movie is this is what is happening period that is fact barney said okay i see it s a controversial issue what exactly is under controversy in fact there is no controversy regarding the science yes of course there are numerous ongoing debates about the intricacies and workings of the climate system but that would not change the foundation of this movie i ll give them the benefit of the doubt perhaps they are not saying that climate change itself is under question but rather that human civilization is causing it students should hear the perspective of global warming skeptics and then make up their minds he said after they do if they think driving around in cars is going to kill us all that s fine that s their choice again what exactly is a global warming skeptic what are they skeptical about why should students hear the opposing view should they start bringing in people that think the earth is flat or that the earth is the center of the solar system or that gravity does not exist oh wait i think there s some opposing views about who killed jfk or who masterminded 9 11 circulating too i wonder if this school board president would allow that that last sentence is ridiculous this is a school board president while the question of climate change has provoked intense argument in political circles in recent years among scientists its basic tenets have become the subject of an increasingly stronger consensus thank you polite applause in the light of new evidence and taking into account the remaining uncertainties most of the observed warming over the las t 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations states a 2001 report by the intergovernmental panel on climate change which advises policymakers furthermore it is very likely that the 20th century warming has contributed significantly to the observed sea level rise through thermal expansion of seawater and widespread loss of land ice the basics of that position are backed by the american meteorological society the american geophysical union the american association for the advancement of science and the national academy of sciences last i knew there were a few cockeyed scientists in those organizations nearly 50 000 in ams and agu alone the incident started when hardison the end times guy from above learned that his daughter would see the movie in class he objected hardison and his wife gayla said they would prefer that the movie not be shown at all in schools from what i ve seen of the movie and what my husband has expressed to me if the movie is going to take the approach of bad america bad america i don t think it should be shown at all gayle hardison said if you re going to come in and just say america is creating the rotten ruin of the world i don t think the video should be shown bad america sit america sit no drop it america there we have it it s not about science or policymaking at all with the parents that are the source of the complaint it s about doing your patriotic duty and denying that america can do no wrong so i guess showing a movie with the opposing view would be rocky iv the policy titled controversial issues teaching of says in part it is the teacher s responsibility to present controversial issues that are free from prejudice and encourage students to form hold and express their own opinions without personal prejudice or discrimination the principal reason for that is to make sure that the public schools are not used for indoctrination larson said this is how they do it the illusion of controversy radio and tv talk show pundits spouting unfounded nonsense do not constitute a scientific debate this is the myth of the opposing view otherwise they would not be able to do this it s the same with intelligent design a subject for another time the proponents launched a massive campaign about opening children s minds to other viewpoints and teaching the controversy if you create a controversy then you can teach it perhaps they should have a class where they teach about teaching controversy and controversial that is bottom line mr hardison this is a public school home school your kids if you don t like it you can teach them all the ridiculous things you like about the age of the earth the end times etc the last comment below however offers some hope i think that a movie like that is a really great way to open people s eyes up about what you can do and what you are doing to the planet and how that s going to affect the human race said kenna patrick a senior at jefferson high school posted by brianr at
