Getting Enough Sleep or Not Enough Sleep?

Medical News: Bad Sleep Tied to Cognitive Decline - in Meeting Coverage, AAIC from MedPage Today

Just in case you would want to know this, I am noting it in a post.  So to summarize, don’t sleep too little and don’t sleep too much, and deal with the snoring ( causes oxygen desaturation) so you can have your mental wits about you in order to keep up to date with social media a bit longer in your lifetime.

I will add all this to my list of todo’s.  By the way, perhaps we should focus more on this, rather than on that panic about anthropogenic climate change.  The world would be a better place without cranky progressives, conservatives and independents.

 UC Physicist: Global Warming A Fraud | CalWatchDog

This blog post refers to a letter from a credible scientist resigning from a professional society of physicists. He outlines the process where an atmosphere is created to portray an atmosphere of consensus where no consensus exists.  When will our educational and professional institutions begin to say no to this type of political organizing in the world of scientific inquiry?  For instance,  when will the USCCB will start to defend honest science and come out and condemn the faulty science and the suppression of scientists who have tried to spread the truth of the situation.  They make the Galileo situation look like chump change.

How can they seriously push the Catholic Coalition on Climate Change with contributions from the pew knowing the controversy demands study and honest answers.  Our local diocese is totally committed and that leaves this Catholic in the pew crying foul. Saving the process of truthful inquiry in science is far more important in advancing the cooperation of faith and reason rather than taking sides in a shaky theory that has been a product of less than honest inquiry and questionable models.

The curious metaphysics of Dr. Stephen Hawking

A gift to ponder...

The curious metaphysics of Dr. Stephen Hawking by Father Robert Spitzer, S.J. 
Cutting to the chase...

• nothing comes from nothing (physics-has to do with the physical, so how did the universe start?), but Hawking says the universe could have made itself-that nothing is something.
• ... a metaphysical question-transcends physics as physics can not answer the question of something that is not physical-the existence of a creator can. This is worth reading.
