In trying to make the case that military Scientist Bruce Ivins was a lunatic who sent anthrax through the mail and killed five people, federal agents disclosed a batch of emails Ivins wrote before and after the attack letters were sent. The feds presumably plucked them from thousands of emails Ivins sent over the past several years. They paint a picture of a disturbed and well-medicated individual. They're laid out in a 25-page affidavit that federal agents drew up last fall when asking for search warrants. The affidavit, unsealed and disclosed publicly yesterday , spotlights one email from just a few days after the first anthrax letter was sent. The affidavit draws a parallel with the phrasing in one of the unsigned anthrax letters, which read: "We have this anthrax...Death to America...Death to Israel," according to the court document. Sept. 26, 2001, [Ivins wrote] "Of the people in my "group" everyone but me is in the depression/sadness/flight mode for stress. I'm really the only scary one in the group. Others are talking about how sad they are or scared they are, but my reaction to the WTC/Pentagon events is far different. Of course, I don't talk about how I really feel with them - it would just make them worse. Seeing how differently I reacted than they did to the recent events makes me really think about myself a lot. I just heard tonight that Bin Laden terrorists for sure have anthrax and sarin gas. You [REDACTED]. In that ...

The weight of evidence is rapidly approaching the threshold of “beyond a reasonable doubt” that government bioweapons defense researcher Bruce E. Ivins was the 2001 anthrax terrorist.

A Telegraph.co.uk article, Can we make software that comes to life? covers the debate among biologists, computer scientists, physicists, mathematicians, philosophers and social scientists who have gathered in Winchester to discuss artificial life. After more than a decade of work, researchers think they've hit a barrier with what can be done with evolution within a software environment. The scientists think the problem is the lack the self-organizing principles in software that are part of the physical and chemical world where biological evolution occurs. The article notes that this self organization can be seen in something as simple as a saucer of oil that's heated. What's needed is a better understanding how self organization integrates with natural selection. The article also covers other aspects of artificial life research including both "wet" ALife (artificial biological life) and "in silico" ALife (software based life). ...

It's not easy being an evolutionist these days. You have to feel a pang of pity for the critics at New Scientist , who have resorted to a new argument against intelligent design: The more complex things are, the more we see that there's no way intelligence could have created them. That's right — complexity is now an argument against intelligent design. From yesterday's print edition : As Socrates knew, the really intelligent know the limits of their own ability, an idea we seem to be relearning. You might say supporters of intelligent design have it backwards: the more we observe the complex workings of our universe, the more we must conclude that no single intelligence could have created them. ...

The U.K. should take active steps to prepare for dangerous climate change of perhaps 4 degrees Celsius, according to one of the government's chief scientific advisers. In policy areas such as flood protection, agriculture and coastal erosion Professor Bob Watson said the country should plan for the effects of a 4C global average rise on pre-industrial levels. The E.U. is committed to limiting emissions globally so that temperatures do not rise more than 2 degrees Celsius. (Intellpuke note: I did a quick check and 4 degrees Celsius equates to approximately 40 degrees Fahrenheit.) "There is no doubt that we should aim to limit changes in the global mean surface temperature to 2C above pre-industrial," Watson, the chief scientific adviser to the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), told the Guardian. "But given this is an ambitious target, and we don't know in detail how to limit greenhouse gas emissions to realize a 2 degree target, we should be prepared to adapt to 4C." Globally, a 4C temperature rise would have a catastrophic impact. ...
