Hello,

I'm fairly new to Wikipedia, so please accept my apologies for being clumsy with protocol and culture at this early stage. I am improving rapidly. Those of you who have been at this for a while have no clue how multi-layered and unique is your world of relationships and procedures.

I've been a sports coach (soccer, alpine skiing, baseball), familiar with the importance of knowing the rules in any game. I'm a lawyer, familiar with the imortance of knowing societies rules and legal procedures. I'm a scientist, familiar with expected requirements of the discipline. BUT, Wikipedia is a whole new world! Somewhat strange, sometimes logical, definitely quirky, populated by an extremely diverse crowd with thousands of individual and group goals.

My intersts thus far:

Roger Revelle -- you can see why at a web page about the Cosmos Myth. Revelle was on my thesis committee and we taught a course together at Scripps for six years.

Global Warming -- I was with Charles David Keeling's lab at SIO from 1982-1990. Keeling had only three doctoral students complete with him at Scripps during his career. I was the middle child.

Evolution and energy and self-organization --  Based on ideas and realizations between 1972 and 1980 I drafted a paper in 1981-82, which was finally published in 1989 in the Int'l Journal of Gen'l Systems, which puts forth a Restatement of a fundamental theory of evolution relating to the outward radial growth of energetic systems. In the paper I postulate that an evolutionary growth pressure is a function of energy itself and a direct cause (in fact a "motivational" cause) of energetic systems self-organizing radially outward.

Patents -- I'm currently a patent attorney at Decato law Office in Lebanon, NH, as well as CSO of Hydrojoule Company.
