7:37 PM - Random Poems

Love is the beginning of a life without feeling,
Loving is living in love,
It is just living and learning to breath fresh dew w/ insight,
Caring for all and even though noone to care for.

A lonely world for those that woe over false-joy and lament their lament their Father for bringeth them forth

I chuckle for life
is quite the buckle

When you are in the driver's seat

Alas! I have waited for this moment

The passenger in the back seat, that is who I'am

6:54 AM - Word of the Day June 12, 2008

exclave ? EKS-kleiv ? noun
: a portion of a country separated from the main part and constituting an enclave in respect to the surrounding territory
Example Sentence:
Technically, the state of Alaska is an exclave of the United States: it borders only Canadian territory.
Did you know?
You probably won't be surprised to learn that the key to "exclave" is found in "enclave." "Enclave" itself ultimately derives from the Latin word for "key," which is "clavis." It was adopted in the mid-19th century from Middle French "enclaver" ("to enclose"), which in turn derives (through Vulgar Latin) from "in-" and "clavis." "Exclave" was formed about twenty years later by combining the prefix "ex-" and the "-clave" of "enclave." Other "clavis" descendants in English include "autoclave," "clavicle," "conclave," and "clavichord" ("an early keyboard instrument in use before the piano").

Mollay and Rhoda taught me that mugre is really excema, in which one's body has small dark-colored patches that spread and itch. Excema is a skin disease and typ. a dermatologist would recommend using and applying small doses of a steriod cream (like cortisol) called "topicort".

9:42 PM - "Barby Here, the Academic World"

I'm here
I'm there
I'm everywhere
I'm nowhere

It feels like pain
They say I have much to gain
I know how-to and why-to be here
But what I don't know makes me fear

I fear God
I fear the lost,
I dread the cost
I fear ME
I fear this place in ME
I fear what is to become of ME here

Here...
Here is here in the now
Here is past, present and uncertain future
Here is a distant place from where I began
Here is here and there
Here is everwhere and yet nowhere
Here is a place that I cannot explain because here has not exposed itself without barriers and walls as the size of the Great Wall in China
A wall that segregates, parts, and traps human intellectuals alike in a one-sided feud
A sign that states "Do not tresspass"
Another neon sign that advertises "We are open and welcome of newcomers"

Fancy names for policy
Equal Opportunity they say
i say, "Equal to who?"
Equal to whose standards?

.... to be continued in "Barby Here, the Academic World" (Part II)

8:33 PM - The Bell Curve and The GCP from Princeton

The Bell Curve is a controversial, best-selling 1994 book by the late Harvard professor Richard J. Herrnstein and American Enterprise Institute political scientist Charles Murray. Its central point is that intelligence is a better predictor of many factors including financial income, job performance, unwed pregnancy, and crime than parents' socioeconomic status or education level. Also, the book argued that those with high intelligence, which it called the "cognitive elite", are becoming separated from the general population of those with average and below-average intelligence and that this was a dangerous social trend. Much of the controversy concerned Chapters 13 and 14, in which the authors wrote about the enduring racial differences in intelligence and discuss implications of those differences. The authors were reported throughout the popular press as arguing that these IQ differences are genetic, and they did indeed write in chapter 13 "It seems highly likely to us that both genes and the environment have something to with racial differences." The introduction to the chapter more cautiously states, "The debate about whether and how much genes and environment have to do with ethnic differences remains unresolved."

Their evidence comes from an analysis of data compiled in the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY), a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics tracking thousands of Americans starting in the 1980s. All participants in the NLSY took the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), a battery of ten tests taken by all who apply for entry into the armed services.

In response to the growing controversy surrounding The Bell Curve, the American Psychological Association's Board of Scientific Affairs established a special task force to publish an investigative report on the research presented in the book.[4] The final report, titled Intelligence: Knowns and Unknowns, is available at an academic website.
