	Board of Contract Appeals Decision - HUD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Muir admits that he tried to answer the form "truthfully and to the best of [his] ability." Muir testified that he now knows that the question at issue on the HUD form relating to Federal debt does in fact include debts to the IRS.
		Muir's excuses, the Government argues, as to why he answered this key question falsely are insufficient to exculpate Muir from the potential damage to the integrity and financial solvency of a HUD program.
		Muir was well aware that, at the time that he answered that specific question in the negative, that Metro did not have any agreement with the IRS to repay Metro's tax debt which might have removed Metro's tax liability from a delinquent status.

	Happy and passive means more productive animals
		Muir, who previously researched and advocated a group-selection theory to obtain a kinder, gentler bird, refines this breeding approach in a study published in the current issue of the journal Genetics.
		In Muir's new plan, individuals are chosen for their passiveness based on equations that identify whether an animal is so aggressive that it will negatively affect its penmates' health and productivity.
		Muir found that in just two generations of picking more passive quail, the flocks had a dramatic decrease in aggressive behavior and injuries.

	William Muir's theory of Muhammad
		Muir shows how Mahomet became convinced, or claimed, that his own thoughts were God speaking to him, so that every sentence in the Koran, every single word, is believed to come directly from God.
		While Muir doesn't deny Mahomet's spiritual experiences that led to the writing of the Koran, he calls Mahomet's claim of divine authorship a forgery, since he was falsely claiming that God was the author of the Koran rather than himself.
		Getting back to William Muir's remarkable biography, he quotes and comments on many passages from the Koran, making that book somewhat accessible to me for the first time, since whenever I have tried to read it on my own, I've been quickly overcome by a combination of boredom and revulsion.

	Genomics research promises to make hogs less piggy
		William Muir, professor of animal science and director of Purdue's genome sequencing facility, says keeping hogs happy could increase their lean growth by as much as 25 percent.

		When Muir applied his techniques to hogs, he found that in a typical hog facility raising eight pigs per pen, there was an overall deficiency in lean growth because the hogs were fighting for food.
