[FRIAM] AND Felice Frankel
Yes, good reminder! I have her book Envisioning Science and once tried to arrange her a visit to LANL but fumbled it (years ago). If you want to meet for Breakfast up here first, I'm game (Ruby K's Bagels or Hot Rocks)... - Steve On Feb 2, 2007, at 10:11 PM, Stephen Guerin wrote: Steve, The talk looks good.

Re: [FRIAM] YELP, HELP!
FWIW, Joe and I have used Brett Goldberg of Computer Medics for our--well, MY--Macintoshes for a couple of years. Joe has a Dell laptop, and Brett can manage that too. Brett's just fine, but get his first appointment of the day, or you'll wait for damn forever. We've also used Rexray with happy results.

' their local peaks and valleys of new possibility. The other one I know of taking this line is Peter Allen's model of change in socio-economic systems (ECO 11/2/06) in which he also explains variation as directing a core system to explore local pathways of possibilities. The common link is that they all describe somewhat plausible ways in which the variation would be at a developmental fringe of organization and excluded from a core of resolved and stable structure. That's part of what I'd like to publish in my plankton paper anyway, if anyone would let a very well constructed independent perspective get through the door. Some might wonder why there's a struggle to find better ways to explain something that's supposed to have already been explained. The problem with Darwin is the certainty that all evolution occurs by only one unsatisfactory means. Directed selection by itself is unsatisfactory because it simply does not make new species. It makes all kinds of different breeds of any one species, like all the kinds of dogs that are still grey wolfs as a species, but they're not new species. New species are things that may come about by multiple means, but frequently by sudden appearances. For those you need a kind of incremental process that also produces a rapid and coordinated change of state, a dynamic process that begins and ends. Feedback systems, by combining directed variation with directed selection, do that handily. I really wish I could find a journal competent in discussing the data of speciation that doesn't abhor the idea that it might involve a transient process! Phil Henshaw .?? ? `?. ~~~ 680 Ft.
