Donations will help to fund his research and protect the habitat for these animals. If he gets $31,000, he promises to name it the Blog Monkey -- Lagothrix blogii.

Hat tip to PZ Myers at Pharyngula: "Blog Monkey."

My sister is having a baby boy!  His name is Harper Croix Ragains.  This is his ultrasound picture.  I send out a prayer of inspiration, protection, and passionate wisdom over his life!

The National Hurricane Center isn't to worried about 94L but if you take a look (via webcam) at HWY 12 on Hatteras Island at Rodanthe it is completely covered with ocean overwash now. It is about 3 1/2 hours since high tide. Not good for the coastal region.

Recent research on these three planet have surprisingly discovered that in the deep interior of these three planets may contain some solid ice. Here are some facts about the solid ice I took from Science Daily.

Interesting:

Political conservatives operate out of a fear of chaos and absence of order while political liberals operate out of a fear of emptiness, a new Northwestern University study soon to be published in the Journal of Research in Personality finds. "Social scientists long have assumed that liberals are more rational and less fearful than conservatives, but we find that both groups view the world as a dangerous place," says Dan McAdams, study co-author and professor of human development and psychology at Northwestern University. "It's just that their fears emerge differently."

PZ Myers reports on Nature's election 2008 edition,  He is understandably very proud of Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama's response to a question on evolution:

I believe in evolution, and I support the strong consensus of the scientific community that evolution is scientifically validated. I do not believe it is helpful to our students to cloud discussions of science with non-scientific theories like intelligent design that are not subject to experimental scrutiny.

It's a very straightfoward answer that marks Obama out as the candidate for science. Also of interest in Obama's answer on Bush's ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
