This should be interesting. The ultimate spin on the origin of the universe.
The world's largest particle collider successfully completed its first major test by firing a beam of protons all the way around a 17-mile tunnel Wednesday in what scientists hope is the next great step to understanding the makeup of the universe.
I encourage anyone who is seriously interested in participation in their community, at any level, to join Toastmasters.
What is Toastmasters? No, we don't make toasters! From a humble beginning in 1924 at the YMCA in Santa Ana, California, Toastmasters International has grown to become a world leader in helping people become more competent and comfortable in front of an audience. The nonprofit organization now has nearly 235,000 members in 11,700 clubs in 92 countries, offering a proven and enjoyable way to practice and hone communication and leadership skills. Most Toastmasters meetings are comprised of approximately 20 people who meet weekly for an hour or two. Participants practice and learn skills by filling a meeting role, ranging from giving a prepared speech or an impromptu one to serving as timer, evaluator or grammarian. There is no instructor; instead, each speech and meeting is critiqued by a member in a positive manner, focusing on what was done right and what could be improved. Good communicators tend to be good leaders.

Palin is going to do more for education than Piltdown Man.
The Piltdown Man was 'discovered' and offered up to the public at the turn of the 20th century. For a generation Piltdown was the ' missing link', the affirmation of the true scientific fact of evolution. However, analysis and time revealed Piltdown was a fabrication of a Darwinist zealot who joined a human skull with an ape jaw. Piltdown turned out to be a fabrication. Many students in Universities during heydays of Piltdown were being taught 'evolution' as scientific fact. They have grown needing to affirm the validity of their evolutionary science rather than engaging the scientific debate. The educated prodigy of the Piltdown era now insist that evolution is scientific fact.
I believe Palin's approach will stand much better because it allows people to decide based on the best information/science available. Simply forcing students to drink evolution or creationism 'kool aid' is not science.
Yeah Palin! I agree with Palin's Stance. Now the article that percolated this posting from yours truly.
Responding to a request for clarification of Palin's stance, a spokesman sent a list of news stories from when she was governor. Based on quotes in those stories, it appears Palin believes children should be allowed to talk about alternatives to evolution in class, but does not believe creationism or intelligent design should be part of a mandatory curriculum.
