Hey, Kim-Babe---I'm back and would be glad to take over the transcript anytime any of y'all want me to do so. Just give me the high-sign (wave orange fiber).

[agrandis]

Sad, indeed. But I am completely convinced that ultimately all truth WILL see the light of day, one way or another. Nobody's getting away with anything, in the end.

[VRWC_minion]

When given only two numbers, a high and a low, what is the difference between the mean and the median?

None.

[shezza]

Yikes. Dusek sounds a little hot under the collar.

[Freedom2specul8]

he has a hard time giving yes or no answers..digresses..

he calculated accumated degree days rather than hours...NOTE:I'm not sure of where the data came from.

Browns field..he used daily averages...which means he used the info from haskells report and the accumulation of temps that was part of his report LOST FEED OF COURSE...where he calcuated accumulated field hours.from brownsfield weather report..and part o fit was daily average. The daily average means what?? the highest temp of the day and the lowest of the day.. It would be better to use hourlies to compare .. he was trying to compare results between brown and singing hills.. whew too much info

He just criticized goff for making an unwarranted calculation of hours?? From daily min and max temps..

[Freedom2specul8]

:waving orange fiber..help! :-p)

[countess]

your post #332.

typo?

[VRWC_minion]

your post #332. typo?

Yes, should be mean and median.

[vollmond]

To follow up in that:
series: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 36
Median = 1 (middle value)
Mean = 6 (average value)
There's a big difference between the two.

[shezza]

Dusek: Why wouldn't he use the hourly temperatures provided for Brown Field? (Feldman, asked and answered.) Don't you want the BEST info that is available?

"I always try to get the most complete data that I can. Hourlies are going to be the most complete."

[Freedom2specul8]

shezza is going to help transcribe now..click link to catch up.

Do you belive Dusak is going into anus as access because it is tighter? That is incorrect, after death the mucules of the anus relax and therefore would be an opening for flies. That is why witness said something about the spheinter(sp?) mucule but Dusak stopped him.

Thank you !

I just logged in here ..I caught that bit of ignorance too. The "anus" relaxes at death ..that is one of the reasons people " loose " the bowels content at death (also attracting flies I would think)

Lets hope the defense knows that

The procescution is talking nonsense here.

[connectthedots]

Everytime this witness says Feb. 12-23, all the questions Dusek asked previously in his attempts to confuse the jury goes down the drain.

[spectre]

Well,if you are not a constant watcher, and haven't seen all the witnesses, then how can you deduct he is destroying the guys credibility? And why would you use the word "BASH"? WE are being critical...but it's OK for Dusek to BASH and BADGER the professional witness, right?

He wants the guy to testify to more than he should know. Period.

[shezza]

Beginning and ending time disagrees with Neil Haskell. Took into account three experimental studies (Kemal, Greenburg, Anderson) of fly development. They provide information on development of certain species of flies. (Dusek: different temperatures, different data?) Different data using different temperatures on fly development. Studies are accepted in field of entomology.

[UCANSEE2]

Go to post #190, Now do you see. Satisfied? I asked for everyone to leave them alone, let them settle it. I also said Cync has done her best to be polite, even when attacked. So, why are you GOFFING me ? (new term....)

[YaYa123]

OIC!!!!

Some people here have a huge stake in (for some reason), DW's innocence. That's the only explanation I can fathom for why some think this prosecutor isn't doing a bang up job destroying the credibility of this witness.

Go figure.

[VRWC_minion]

The jury must be snoring around now.

[mommya]

"Guy just made larger error than math error. He doesn't know the difference between median and mean."

I caught what you are talking about. The guy then said that he refigured all the figures - and only those two (I think it was two) were wrong. What did you get out of that? If he had refigured all the figures - would more than that have come out wrong - or could the median and mean been the same on all those other figures? Do you understand what I'm getting at?
