The Enduring JFK Mystery

Since the Warren Commission probe of the JFK assassination, other investigations of serious government wrongdoing, one after another, have been truncated – CIA abuses, Iran-Contra, Contra drug trafficking, Iraq-gate, misuse of Iraq War intelligence, Abu Ghraib – supposedly because the full stories would undermine morale or otherwise not be “good for the country.”

Wired News: Monster Scope to Dwarf Rivals

Wired News: Monster Scope to Dwarf Rivals: "Astronomers are preparing to build the world's largest telescope that could be 100 times more powerful than the Hubble and will peer back to the very beginning of the universe.

The new TMT (Thirty-Meter Telescope) will be the first of a new generation of massive Earth-based telescopes that will far eclipse today's largest observatories."

I have just finished reading reading Miss Leavitt's Stars: the untold story of the woman who discovered how to measure the universe which explores how Hubble used Leavitt's work to figure out the use of red shift to measure distance and this technology is briefly touched there. A great read.

The Lady and the Unicorn

"And you're convinced that the Bushies can be taken now, that they're that weak?" I asked.

"For sure. But with several important caveats. They may be dumb and incompetent, but they're not politically stupid, they're still in power, and they have few moral qualms. They see what you and I see, that they're in free-fall right now, and that they're no longer trusted or seen as occupying the moral/ethical high ground; they realize that unless they take some drastic action to stop that free-fall, they're going down - with huge anchors tied around their necks: Iraq, Katrina, Libby, jobs, torture, widescale corruption, the conservative Establishment revealing even more of their mendacity and incompetence, etc.

Some local authors could be invited too.

WritersDigest.com - Writing Tip of the Week - Battle writer's block with writing tips, ideas and motivation

WritersDigest.com - Writing Tip of the Week - Battle writer's block with writing tips, ideas and motivation: "Humorist Robert Fontaine wrote the following in The Writer’s Handbook:

To be a writer is something special. It is to reach, however awkwardly, for the stars, and to move, however haltingly, in that direction. To be a beginner or a semiprofessional or a part-time writer is something just as special as to be a hardened professional.

It’s time to reach for the stars!

If this quote inspires you once and for all to fulfill your ambition to become a writer, don’t lose your momentum. In this workshop you’re going to learn how to fan that flame of creativity you’ve had burning for such a long time."

John Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate in 2004, has told acquaintances over the past year that he suspects that the election was stolen, but that he didn’t challenge the official results because he lacked hard proof and anticipated a firestorm of criticism if he pressed the point."
