cocaine in faux rally truck

From Autoblog: Smugglers are, by nature, a crafty bunch. Slaves to the market forces of supply and demand, drug runners risk liberty and limb to pedal their life-ruining wares around the world. Doing so requires a healthy helping of creativity, so it should come as no surprise that

Volcano Could Soon Erupt Too

From Gizmodo: It's scaremongering at best, but yesterday's volcanic ash story has turned into a right old mess for the aviation industry, with all planes grounded until at least Sunday in the UK. Even worse, a much larger volcano could erupt. As I said yesterday, the Eyjafjallaj

More on the speakers and hosts later, but first, let's look at the description of the event, which appears on the invitation reproduced by invitee Sheril "Intersection" Kirshenbaum:

Light and the Age of the Universe: George Gamow

post from The Light Side of Science on 16 April 2010 11:09:18 AM. © The Light Side of Science

In my discussions on the Cosmic Microwave background, I realised I had made a horrible omission: a guy called George Gamow. While I do not wish to take any of the well deserved credit from the winners of the Nobel Prizes, Gamow was one of those names who was sadly lost in history. He had actually predicted the CMB, or something like it, back in 1948. Here is a nice little article about it.http:
