My apologies, I just assumed that you were a he.
I will make sure that I make that correction and will not make that mistake again.
Again, my apologies.

RadioAstronomer (who has been doing double duty at work, and will be for some time) says hi, and asks in hurt tones why we haven't been pinging him, and whether it's his breath? It's the effect of the baleful glare of Mars peering over the horizon, blocking all communication with him...
To: Physicist; RadioAstronomer
Yeah, where is he anyway, they got him locked up in his lab again?
I swear, they lock him in there and take the key, then let him out when they feel like it.
You need to get a lock pick RA!!!
Hmm, I may have one of those laying around here somewhere!! ;)

Coincidences, the general knows what I mean. He may post what I wrote him on Vietnam. God works in strange ways.

All that means is that one element of the technology used in the scanner is covered by the patent. As I've said (and I've posted the link before; I'll find it in my own posts tomorrow) Damadian has admitted that Lauterbur came up with imaging first. Damadian did some important discoveries in medical NMR, but he did not invent imaging, and in his attempts to grab credit for Lauterbur's discovery, he's done a huge injustice to Lauterbur. As I said - go look in the 1972 patent, and see if there's any claim to a new imaging method.
Damadian succeeds at this by making a pest of himself. If he or his lawyers see a publication or web page giving credit to Lauterbur, he send them a letter demanding he get co-billing. Lauterbur's a solitary scientist working at U., Illinois; he doesn't have the time or resources to wage the kind of war Damadian is waging.
As Nebullis posted, the people in the field, who actually know what happened, give credit to Lauterbur for the idea, and Ernst for the most practial way of implementing it.
All this may seem petty, but the controversy, which really isn't a controversy in the NMR community, has deprived Lauterbur of the Nobel Prize he almost certainly would have won for the invention. Damadian is a rich man, who was scooped on a major invention and has used his cash to bully the guy who beat him. If I were looking for a Christian role model, it wouldn't be he.

That's okay. I'm not even sure that it was you I spoke to earlier. Probably wasn't. Doesn't really matter anyway. Was just being cantankerous :)
To: <1/1,000,000th%
It would be cool if I'd come up with anything 1/10 as good.
To: DittoJed2

Yeah, I'm pretty good at that too, but I'm a night person, so I'll be OK for a while...;)

There was a geologist on the dig as well at Liscomb. And, I don't see where Gangloff was with them. The sculptor may indeed be wrong about even ANY additional unfossilized bones at Liscomb, but it doesn't negate his original discovery.

If you want to call this scrutiny...

I am a night person too, but have to get up in the AM, so I'll probably be signing off pretty quickly.

I just took a look at your profile.
You do geneaology?
Cool, my mom is BIG into geneaology, has tracked us back to France in the 1600's, so now of course she has to take a trip to france to take it back even further.
This geneaology thing is getting out of control!! LOL ;)

I am presently pondering the sphere. Anything else will have to wait until tomorrow, I fear ;)

Yeah, particularly coming from France. I've got French in me but won't admit it :)
To: DittoJed2
As I mentioned earlier, I do wish you would stop calling me a "he".I think we all assumed you looked like this... :-)
