Just an idea for Marks, Dembski, etc. :  You wanted to create the impression that the symposium was held by the Cornell University - that's why you used the carefully crafted abstract:      
Quote
In the spring of 2011, a diverse group of scientists gathered at Cornell University to discuss their research into the nature and origin of biological information. This symposium brought together experts in information theory, computer science, numerical simulation, thermodynamics, evolutionary theory, whole organism biology, developmental biology, molecular biology, genetics, physics, biophysics, mathematics, and linguistics. This volume presents new research by those invited to speak at the conference.
Perhaps it is enough to create the impression that Springer Verlage  published the proceedings? You could try to get the interest of the Axel Springer Verlag - perhaps a short article in the Bild-Zeitung? Then you could still claim that you were published by Springer, and that's what this is all about....


Apparently it was cosponsored by Physicians and Surgeons for Scientific Integrity

   
Quote
Recently Physicians and Surgeons for Scientific Integrity (PSSI) co-sponsored an international symposium entitled "Biological Information - New Perspectives" that was attended by many PhD scientists to address the question: "What is biological information and where docs it come from?"

The symposium was held at the Slater Hotel on the Cornell University Campus.

The published article at that link is ... interesting.  It's all there: Darwin, Racism, Hitler and so on ... also, the author repeatedly uses the word 'proves'.  

I do not think that word means what he thinks it means.

It is refreshing to see the author, a Christian, state that Christians were deeply involved the slave trade, though.  He wouldn't last 3 posts at UD before being KF'd to death.

I'm sure it has been mentioned already, but The Statler Hotel is the working hotel of the Cornell School of Hotel Administration. It is nice, but any group, corporation or individual can book it.

You can even have your birthday party there:

Inside Higher Ed has an article on the Springer book flap.

A comment there compared this to censorship in communist countries. I replied in a comment (under moderation):

 
Quote

Hmmm? In the USSR, espousing the "bourgeois biology of the west" could get you house arrest, imprisonment in Siberia, or simply a date in front of the firing squad.

This isn't a free speech issue. If Intervarsity were the publisher of the proposed volume, nobody would give a rip.

This is a scamming issue. The pretense that old, tired religious antievolution arguments are actually science is a common fiction ever since 1968's "Epperson v. Arkansas" SCOTUS decision. The legal term of art used for this in 1987's "Edwards v. Aguillard" decision is "sham". It's about people using whatever means of deception they can pull to influence the political sphere to inject their view of biology into science.


Drat! I thought I had copied the whole thing, but I'm missing about three paragraphs and some edits of what I've got here. Here's hoping they post the whole thing.

Wesley, are you aware of this:

Your comment was posted at Inside Higher Ed, but Lazarus might come in handy if you're ever in another situation where you want to recover something you've written.

More Springer book flap stuff...

"Performedge" hypes the conference, but keep it quiet, y'all:

Quote

The place: Cornell University
What? A science symposium
Topic: Biological Information New Perspectives.
Date: May31st - June 2 2011

This was an invitation only event to prevent the media hype and evolutionist disrupters at bay. It was strictly science and not creation science. Twenty peer reviewed papers were presented and are in the process of being published now. All papers in some way shape or form present serious problems and even potential falsifications of the neo-Darwinian theory. The science community will be unaware of these papers until they are fully published in a scientific syposium book as is the usual procedure.

I have been asked not to present substantial information regarding this event until the publication is released. I don't know when, but expect 3-6 months. I have copies of all the abstracts and they are brutal regarding evidence against neo-Darwinian theory. Once released, the science community will for the first time have to deal wilth real contrary evidence. And it will open the doors for future symposiums where the scientific journals don't control the publications and peer review process. You will recognize several of the names of presenters. I will have access to all of these papers in the future, and I will make them available as soon as I can.

Sorry for the vagueness, but you all know the forces that work against such events. It looks like this was a success, and it opens many doors for the truth of an intelligent designer to be a real scientific topic that must be dealt with.


Later in the thread, there's a link to another summary. The original appears to be here. It's by David Coppedge. If you think that the name is familiar, it ought to be. Coppedge is suing JPL over being dismissed, and is claiming religious discrimination.

Quote

Interestingly, there was a notable absence of participants from Cornell or the Ithaca area. It appears very likely that many who might have otherwise have attended were afraid of negative professional consequences arising from being associated in any way with this event of its participants..

Take heart, though.  It was like that before Soviet communism fell.  The last years of the Iron Curtain were fierce; many individuals suffered persecution, and many lived in a state of fear.  The Soviet bloc seemed impregnable.  Then, perestroika and glasnost came as reality set in that communism wasn’t working. Within just a couple of years, thanks to pressure from Reagan and internal pressure from freedom loving unions, the Berlin wall fell.  The world watched in astonishment as the Soviet Union unraveled in a precipitous and momentous collapse, and long-denied freedoms saw the light of a new day.  It can happen with Darwinism—unless vigilance gives way to complacency, challenge to comfort, love for truth to fear of criticism.  This is no time to cower in retreat; it’s time to charge!


1. If you hold an invitation-only event, you shouldn't be surprised that people you didn't invite did not show up.

2. Hey, that will be a great addition to the Invidious Comparisons list. Thanks, David!

You are mistaken, the Hitler diaries have been published by the liberal journal Stern and the Springer-Verlag that publishes science books has been founded by Julius Springer in 1842 and has nothing to do with the Axel Springer AG which was launched in 1946.

According to WG, he lost everything, ownership of all his publications, in a divorce. Then his ex married his lawyer. Not her lawyer. His.

That would have been about two-thirds through the list.  I used to read his computer and CD stuff and detected nothing unusual in his thinking. I wonder if he does the loon just for money.

On the death of UD. I've been watching the date and time of the first and last of the recent comments and it currently takes around 24 hours for the site to generate 30 comments. Just after the purge it was about 6 hours. Also at least half of the comments are from BA77.

Also in the 'daily popular' there used to be threads that were in the thousands now they all seem to average around the 700s

That's probably why Barry started banning anyone that wanted to look!

Wayne Green:

CQ magazine, 73, 80 Micro, Byte, CD Review, Cold Fusion, Kilobaud Microcomputing, RUN , InCider, and Pico

Wow. I read most of those magazines and never realized he was a loon. I guess it's compartmentalization.

IIRC, Carl Helmers, editor of BYTE Magazine was married to Wayne's daughter. AFAIK some bizarre event(s) took place before Wayne started the Kilobaud Magazine. I am not saying he is a loon, but that is what I believe.

According to WG, he lost everything, ownership of all his publications, in a divorce. Then his ex married his lawyer. Not her lawyer. His.

That would have been about two-thirds through the list.  I used to read his computer and CD stuff and detected nothing unusual in his thinking. I wonder if he does the loon just for money.

I was a subscriber to 73 magazine and thought it was pretty goog, although his editorials gradually got loonies and loonies.  Thanks to a subscription offer, I was also a charter subscriber to Byte mag, which was excellent.  After the crash of his publishing empire, I read that all the money had come from his wife in the first place.

A fellow ham friend used to listen to coast to coast am every night and he said that Green was so over the top weird that Art Bell switched to another guest mid way through Green's last appearance.  When you're too weird for Art Bell ...

I'm just glad he's sticking to colloidal silver cure-alls and hasn't come out for ID.

Please excuse the auto-correct atrocities in the previous message.  iPads suck for writing & editing.
