I agree, Roger, that makes no sense. I keep trying to interpret in terms of some double-double-double cross. Imply that we are listening to all their calls and force them to go back to using carrier pigeons. Hard for me to believe in the possibility of garden-variety stupidity.

[FRIAM] Post, washington post amazon buy out thoughts?
I heard on public TV that amazon gobled up the washington post- I'd like to here what other peoples thoughts that Amazon wants to the washington post to sink into e-publishing and be more populist in reguards to who can submit updates to news. To kick it off. I'm conflicted. On one hand the washington post as a publication is old and might have a little bit of postive street cred under that proposed model, on the other hand- will amazon fact check submissions?

Re: [FRIAM] Post, washington post amazon buy out thoughts?
Gobbled up is strong language, Gillian. Rescued might be more like it. The family that ran the Post couldn't afford to run it any more. The Grahams said they were glad to sell the entity called the Washington Post to someone who assured them he would run it to the same standards the Grahams had used. (Now this is sad, because the WashPost in the last ten years became a shadow of its best self, so standards are rather elastic.) Bezos says he has no intention of interfering in the editorial part of the paper, which may or may not be true. But the Post couldn't sustain itself as it was going. Something had to give. I frankly will be fascinated to see the mind that dreamed up Amazon refashion a newspaper for the 21st century. You might see the same thing happening to the New York Times, with Mike Bloomberg talked about as the buyer. The Times is making money right now, but it hasn't paid a dividend to the 83 members of the Sulzberger family in two years. Some of those people are going to say hey, we aren't a charity; we have to put our kids through college like everyone else. At that point, a buyer may be sought. Just saying.

He will explain what stem cells are, their potential for curing disease, and why they are so controversial. Dr. Golub is chair of the University of California-Irvine Human Stem Cell Research Oversight Committee. He will be speaking Monday, Aug. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Congregation, 107 West Barcelona, Santa Fe. Prof. Golub's research is currently focused on how science policy in the U.S. impacts medical research. I am particularly concerned with how we make and implement policy on human stem cells including embryonic and other pluripotent stem cells, he said. One aspect of this is exploring the differences between the states on stem cell policy. A related interest focuses on how to promote ethical principles within basic and translational research. Golub's lecture is sponsored by Santa Fe's Inst. for Analytic Jounalism and KSFR, community radio for Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico.

[FRIAM] TewaCom/ChimayoRed closure
Any other folks here on Tewacom.com http://www.tewacom.com network? I just learned today that they are closing shop at the end of August, leaving a fairly big hole in coverage in the Pojoaque Valley area. I just learned that Redinet http://www.redinetnm.org/last_mile_providers is about to come on line, but they are depending on folks like Tewacom to provide the first-mile to my area, along with (I presume) hundreds or even thousands of others. I've been in conversation with Lowenberg and 1st Mile, but thought I'd ping this group. I'm interested in: 1. Any ISP who might be able to take over the Tewacom infrastructure and add the service to their existing? 2. Precedents or ideas around CoOp models, possibly using existing motorola infrastructure or building up a mesh network. 3. Anyone with more information/insight into the timing of this event (coincident with RediNet?). - Steve FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com

Petaev a, mpet...@fas.harvard.edu, Shichun Huang a, Stein B. Jacobsen a and Alan Zindler a http://www.pnas.org/content/110/32/12917 Abstract One explanation of the abrupt cooling episode known as the Younger Dryas (YD) is a cosmic impact or airburst at the YD boundary (YDB) that triggered cooling and resulted in other calamities, including the disappearance of the Clovis culture and the extinction of many large mammal species. We tested the YDB impact hypothesis by analyzing ice samples from the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) ice core across the Bølling-Allerød/YD boundary for major and trace elements. We found a large Pt anomaly at the YDB, not accompanied by a prominent Ir anomaly, with the Pt/Ir ratios at the Pt peak exceeding those in known terrestrial and extraterrestrial materials. Whereas the highly fractionated Pt/Ir ratio rules out mantle or chondritic sources of the Pt anomaly, it does not allow positive identification of the source. Circumstantial evidence such as very high, superchondritic Pt/Al ratios associated with the Pt anomaly and its timing, different from other major events recorded on the GISP2 ice core such as well-understood sulfate spikes caused by volcanic activity and the ammonium and nitrate spike due to the biomass destruction, hints for an extraterrestrial source of Pt. Such a source could have been a highly differentiated object like an Ir-poor iron meteorite that is unlikely to result in an airburst or trigger wide wildfires proposed by the YDB impact hypothesis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clovis_culture - Robin __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list meteorite-l...@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list Platinum levels rose about 100 times... http://www.pnas.org/content/suppl/2013/07/17/1303924110.DCSupplemental/pnas.201303924SI.pdf Evidence for deposition of 10 million tonnes of impact spherules across four continents 12,800 y ago, James H.
