		<title>Rule-of-Thumb (Standard Practice) Revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I previously posted on &#8220;rule-of-thumbs&#8221; and how they are used by structural engineers in practice. Rule-of-thumbs, also called &#8220;industry best/standard practice&#8221;, exist in other technical areas, such as oil exploration.
I came across this graphic (accompanied by this pdf) that compares industry standards to the standard BP (apparently)* followed during their disasterous Deepwell Horizon oil exploration project [...]]]></description>

		<title>Super-Conference Me!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love college football. I love all kinds of (North American) football. My wife cringes when September rolls around because I&#8217;ll have as many as four football teams playing any given weekend*. However, it&#8217;s June, not September, so we should be talking about the Stanley Cup Finals, not college football.
But all that changed recently with [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Relationship Between Consequences and Being Right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These days, I seem to be more interested in debating economics than evolution. I&#8217;m involved in one such debate over at Telic Thoughts(TT). When debating the validity of an economic axiom, olegt, a physics professor, made this comment:
A lack of consensus between experts shows that the answer is not as clear cut as Klein tries [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quantum Darwinism &#8211; Research in Desperate Need of a Name Change!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit, I&#8217;ve never heard of this branch of scientific research before today.
From Wikipedia:
Quantum Darwinism is a theory explaining the emergence of the classical world from the quantum world as due to a process of Darwinian natural selection; where the many possible quantum states are selected against in favor of a stable pointer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blast From the Past: Design Is Not A Mechanism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I admit that lately, I haven&#8217;t been too interested in actively participating in the ID/evolution debates. I have various excuses reasons: the culture war mentality doesn&#8217;t appeal to me, my extra-curricular interest has moved to other topics (economics, health care, theology), it has been a slow news period for this topic, I don&#8217;t see a [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Small But Encouraging Step for DCA Treatment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Source: First Edmonton Trial Shows Hope For DCA &#8211; Edmonton Journal
When he was at Uncommon Descent, DaveScot would regularly sing the praises of a common, but previously little known chemical, dichloroacetate (DCA). It caught my attention for a couple of reasons:
1. A 2007 study showed DCA had the potential to slow tumour growth or even [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Anthropic Principle &#8211; The Physicist&#8217;s &#8220;Rule-of-Thumb&#8221;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dr. David Heddle from the blog, He Lives, has an excellent post on The Antrhopic Principle. While the post as a whole is a great read, this part drew my engineering interest:
In its proper place the Anthropic Principle can be quite useful. But it must be remembered: it can be a guide—but it is never [...]]]></description>

		<title>OUR Game!! And don&#8217;t you forget it!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Some are calling it a game for the ages. Some are saying that Sidney Crosby has now made the jump from superstar to legend. For me, the 2010 Olympic Gold Medal game between Canada and the U.S. once again showed the world that hockey is Canada&#8217;s game, period. Eric Staal said it best:
Hockey is Canada&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The Canadian women&#8217;s hockey team can now be called an Olympic dynasty! 3 gold medals in 3 Olympics! Woohoo! Now, it&#8217;s the men&#8217;s turn.
However, a &#8220;stain&#8221; on the Olympicsw occurred after. Don&#8217;t read further unless you have a strong stomach!

 

OMG! The-the-the-they&#8217;re drinking beer! (and not very good beer at that!). They&#8217;re celebrating on the ice! [...]]]></description>

		<title>Self-Replicating RNA Designed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Life-like evolution in a test tube&#8221; is the title of an article at Cosmos Magazine that describes a potential breakthrough in Origin-of-Life (OOL) research.  (HT RichardtHughes at AtBC )
For the first time, scientists have synthesized RNA enzymes – ribonucleic acid enzymes also known as ribozymes &#8211; that can replicate themselves without the help of any proteins [...]]]></description>
