New Grandson


No matter how many times you witness the birth of a child, it never ceases to be just the most amazing and wonderful gift from God there could ever possibly be. I had that pleasure again this past Thursday (October 4, 2007) when my son Patrick and his wife Ann became proud parents for the first time.

Parker Alexander Ross (5lbs 12oz) was a few weeks early but thankfully, mother and son are both doing great. As you can see, Parker has a full head of wavy black hair, he's pink as a bunny and as beautiful a baby as there ever was. You can't tell from the photo but he's also got really big feet. Parker gets that from his daddy whose birth I remember to this day. Pat was a pretty baby too, but what I'll never forget is how big Pat's feet seemed to me at the time. It's odd the things that stick with you and that you never forget. Parker's birth will certainly be one of them. And we're looking forward to many years of watching him grow up and prosper.

Climate Change and Open Science - WSJ.com

This Wall Street Journal article Climate Change and Open Science - WSJ .com made the right basic point about liberal hypocrisy in the Climate Change debate, but disappointingly it failed to cite the best sources of real information from an unbiased scientific point of view. I believe that source is Dr. S. Fred Singer & Dr. Craig D.

In this book, the petition letter shown here from Dr. Frederick Seitz ( Ph . D. Physics) President Emeritus of Rockefeller University was published. Dr. Seitz circulated this letter: urging fellow academics with qualifications in the physical sciences to sign the petition at http://www.petitionproject.com/ and thereby acknowledge their agreement with this statement in the petition: Accor...

Network Solutions is having a sale on URL's. Mine (http://www.douglasross.com) doesn't do anything at the moment (I'm saving it for a rainy day) but it was coming up on ten years and I needed to renew it to protect my name. So I decided to take them up on their pay-in-advance 20 year package sale for $279.00 or $13.95 per year (about half of the regular annual fee...probably not that good a deal in hindsight.) But the kicker was, after I hit the pay button it dawned on me that I'll be over 83 years old when this thing expires. How creepy is that? If I make it I'll take it as a good sign and re-up for another 20 years. And by then maybe I'll have done something with it.
