Our current unwise national funding priorities will have serious effects far into the future.

Science education / research is our hope for a world that works for everyone.

I wish you good results.

I tuned into the Space Hangout for MSL and kept coming back to that discussion because it had further reaching dialogue. I was particularly enthused about Dr Pamela Gay’s discussion about the realities of doing planetary science. It was much appreciated. As in regards to science education, it is disheartening to hear that legislators are not seeming to side with reason, or else I am hearing about/from those in least of a position to use evidence and reason to enact funding. Whenever I hear from someone in the UK mentioning the United States as now second rate in education and that the U.S. used to evaluate things better using evidence, I wonder where the U.S. is headed. I write to senators and representatives and sign petitions and provide funds but sometimes it seems like beating up the ocean. The U.S. seems to have this cultural paradigm that its okay to revel in ignorance because that is what they are being shown or rather flooded with. We need more positive, long term goals than bling culture.

Is it possible that a meteor hit the earth slowing down the rotation speed thus increasing the effect of gravity causing the largest living animals to die under their own weight? (i.e. the dinosaurs)
Just a different point of view..nothing to due with your topic..

I would contact your local Rep and Senators – it is their job to represent you, no matter if you are a private citizen, a business owner or a local educator. Let them make some introductions for you in DC.

Best of luck with this effort. You might try contacting Senator Barbara Mikulski’s office. She’s very interested in space science and has helped a lot in the past. I don’t know if she’s on any of the committees you want to address, but she’s been in the senate for a long time and she knows how things work. She’d be a good ally.

Comment on Boston, Terrorism, and racial profiling of motive by RealistRalph

What I want to know is where is the sense of proportion? Since 9/11 there has been 1, arguably 2, successful Islamic extremist attacks. My guess would be you’ve got a far better chance of being hit and killed by lightning. I wouldn’t start talking about car accidents or even accidental gun deaths. Yes, the attack was purposeful, completely arbitrary and was preventable. However, there is no assessment of risk in public reaction and media coverage. And people wonder why terrorists do what they do?

The US has retained global hegemony in science and technology over the decades DESPITE having a population that is deeply provincial and anti-intellectual in it’s attitudes, primarily by being so darn big as to generate a self-sustaining cadre of intellectually vigorous individuals simply by happenstance. Vox populi, vox humbug.

I’ll try to help but I’m managing my expectations…

During this “crisis”, it seems odd that, for the first time since 2007, funds ($35 billion) will be used to reduce the debt. Sequestration is another political instrument favoring one side over another when applied with maximum impact for damaging effects. It will hurt people that deserve far better, including scientists.

The sun and inner planets formed out of different “stuff”–the sun was (and stll is) almost all Hydrogen (some helium, while the inner planets are mostly Heavier elements. This is mysterious.

I just went through the same thing with my cat. He was 16 and had been through it all with me. He was my best friend. Sadly he didn’t get better but I hope your dog does!

I’m sure you’ve given her a wonderful life up to this point.

Was it Aurthur C. Clarke who asked in one of his books, why do we give our hearts so readily to these small creatures who have life spans so much shorter than ours? The nature of love, I guess.

Pamela, very sorry to hear your buddy is struggling.

What you are describing sounds like a condition called “vestibular disorder”:
http://www.petside.com/condition/dog/vestibular-disease-canine

One of our border collies came down with it when he was around 11 and a friend of ours had their older golden retriever also come down with it.

They really don’t know what causes it and there is really nothing that can be done to treat it, it just has to run its course. Both our dog and our friends dog got better over the course of several months: their balance improved and their movements got more coordinated. Dramamine can help get them through the worst of it during the initial onset, but usually that isn’t required more than a couple of days.

My friends golden was eventually back to %100 recovered with no lingering effects. Our border collie got back to around %90. He lived for another 2 yrs before we had to put him to sleep for other reasons, but he always had a slight head tilt to one side and was never able to climb stairs as fast or easy as he used to. He could get up and down them, it just took more concentration on his part and if one of our other dogs bumped into him while he was on the stairs, it would cause him to stumble. He also preferred turning one way over the other. Often times he’d do a 270 turn one way rather than 90 the right way.

One thing to keep in mind is that dogs live in the now – they don’t get upset because they can’t do the things they used to do. It upsets us, but not them. They also are much more adaptable than we are. They’ll be scared for a while until they adapt to their new restrictions, but once they figure out how to get around again, they’ll be just as happy as they were before. I know it really upsets us to see them like that, but they aren’t in any pain and aren’t upset themselves, past the initial vertigo and scariness.

Hang in there and hopefully Leah will be mostly back to normal in a couple of weeks and fully recovered in a couple of months.
