Two mini-features from the CERN physicist, media star and scientific advisor to the movie Sunshine.
The Sun will not live forever. It has enough fuel left, if our current understanding is correct, for another 5 billion years, at which point it will die. But could it be possible for the Sun to die much sooner, within the next 100 years even? From a scientific perspective, it should be said that this is very unlikely. But, it is also true that there is a lot about the universe that we do not understand.


HALhms is the Managed Assistive System for the Home. With HALhms running on your PC, you can control all the systems of your home, including doors, beds, lights, devices, appliances, home theatre - audio/video, security, heating & cooling, telephone, sprinklers, pool, spas, curtains, shades, the Internet and more - from anywhere in the world - by VOICE!
The key to effective home control is simplicity - how easy it is to use the system. There's no easier way to control your home than with normal, conversational speech. Once HALhms is installed in your home, you can begin controlling an unlimited number of devices with your voice. Simply tell HAL, "Turn on the front door lights," or establish schedules by telling HAL, "Every night at 6pm turn on the front door lights for five hours." Talk to your home just as you talk to the people inside.
HALhms delivers complete power line control using the X-10 power line protocol. There's no need to tear your house apart to rewire your home - use the wires that already exist in your home's walls. Using economically priced X-10 wall switches, lamp modules, or power outlets, you can control every light in your house with HALhms. Schedule your lights to go on and off according to your lifestyle. HAL tracks sunrise and sunset where you live by matching the latitude and longitude with the position of the sun. Tell HAL to turn your front door lights on at dusk every night and off at 11:30pm. Use easy-to-set-up Macros to establish lighting scenes. For instance, when you tell HAL that it's "It's time for a movie," HAL might then dim the lights in the family room.
HAL will operate appliances, too, like coffee makers and popcorn poppers. Tell HAL to brew the coffee every morning at 7am. Even more impressive is HAL's power to link numerous actions together. In addition to dimming the family room lights when you say, "It's time for a movie," you could also have HAL begin popping the popcorn.
HALhms gives you the power to control the climate in your house from anywhere in the home - or anywhere in the world - by voice. Once you install a HAL-compatible communicating thermostat, you can call your home and ask HAL, "What is the temperature in the house?", or you may ask, "What is the thermostat setting?" Lots of people have programmable thermostats. But what if your schedule changes after the thermostat is programmed? Most programmable thermostats can only be programmed when you're at home. With HAL, if you decide to extend your vacation by a couple of days, you can simply call your house and tell HAL to set the thermostat accordingly. Then call from the airport on the way home and tell HAL to warm/cool the house to the temperature you desire.
Home theatres are better than ever before. But they're also more complicated to operate. HALhms can make it easy! HAL uses infrared to generate the same signals that come from the remote control devices that the manufacturer sends with your audio/video equipment. Simply install a HAL-compatible infrared controller and HAL becomes a universal remote control that you can operate with your voice. Simply tell HAL to, "Turn on the TV."
The real power of HAL home theatre control is the ability to make many things happen with a single voice command. We all know how difficult it can be to coordinate all the pieces of the home theatre for the different ways you want to use it. Sometimes, you just want to watch the TV. Other times, you just want to listen to music. On other occasions, you want to watch a movie. The movie requires the TV to be tuned to the correct channel so it can receive the signal from the VCR or the DVD. The stereo tuner has to be turned on and in the right mode to generate surround sound for movie viewing. Finally, the VCR or DVD must be powered up and ordered to play. Some people keep cheat sheets to remember all the steps. With HAL, you can create a single voice command - one of your own choosing - something like, "Prepare the family room for a video." With that phrase, HAL can be programmed to turn the TV on and switch it to the right channel to receive the video signal from the VCR or DVD, the stereo will be turned on and correctly configured for theatre sound, the DVD or VCR will be turned on set to play, and finally, the room lights will be dimmed down as the movie begins. Your only responsibility is to put the tape or DVD in the machine. HAL makes great home theatre technology easy-to-use - and that's what makes the HAL home control system great!
HALhms gives you greater control of your home security system. With a HAL-compatible security panel, you can arm and disarm your system by voice. If your system is violated, you can tell HAL to call you on your cell phone or at the office or at any number you designate. You may want HAL to call your neighbor if you are away on vacation. If your system detects smoke or fire in your house during evening hours, you can tell HAL to turn on all the lights in the house and to play loud music in order to wake up sleeping residents. This is all possible because HAL integrates all the systems in the house on the PC - when the security system is triggered, other systems can be told to respond. With HAL, you are limited only by your imagination.


Many beginner runners struggle with the proper way to breathe while running. Or they don't even think about it. With the proper breathing technique, you can ideally be running on air, avoiding injury and running more efficiently. What is the proper breathing technique while running?
Ideally, you want to breathe rhythmically. You want to relate your breathing cycle with your running cadence. And you want to time your inhales and exhales strategically. You want to alternate which foot you land on at the beginning of every exhalation. This way, the impact stress of running will be shared equally across both sides of your body.
It's similar to when you're wearing a heavy backpack, you use both straps to distribute the weight evenly rather than use only one strap which would put all the weight on one shoulder. Rhythmic breathing goes beyond just injury prevention though. In Hinduism, yoga teaches pranayama– breath work. The work of breathing draws life-force into the body. Through rhythmic running and breathing we breathe fully and realize our vitality as the Taoist would say.
In yoga, martial arts, relaxation, and meditation breath work is used to connect mind, body and spirit. In martial arts, this inner connection and centeredness (dantian) allows more immediate and precise control of the physical body. This helps to decrease stress and stabilize extreme emotions. It also applies to running through rhythmic breathing. You achieve centeredness first by focusing your mind on fitting your breathing to an optimal footstrike pattern. Then your awareness of breathing links mind and body and creates a smooth pathway to determining the effort of running. Rhythmic breathing helps you feel your running which gives you immediate and precise control.
This article is just a brief look at breathing while running, but breathing is so much more than just what I'm talking about here. I'm considering doing a breathing series where we take a few blog posts and dive deeper into different aspects of breathing. Let me know if you're interested in learning more about breathing.
Do you practice rhythmic breathing? Do you pay attention to how you breathe when running? Or do you just bumble around? What about during other exercises? Let me know!

Adirondacks Alive
Horizon Editions, 2006
Hardcover, 175 pages, $50
The crowded field of Adirondack photography is filled with magnificent vistas and stunning details of the natural world. In a way, that's the problem. Any fool with a disposable point-and-shoot can't help but return from an outing to the old North Woods with some fetching images. I've done it, and there's the proof.
The professionals elevate the game, with better composition, superior equipment and technical precision. But they usually don't have much to say about their photographs, except the place, time, weather, exposure, etc.
One thing that sets Adirondacks Alive apart is the text. Writer Don Mellor, a longtime Adirondack climber, guide and teacher, collaborated with photographer Olaf Soot in producing a coffeetable book in which word and image complement each other.
Soot, who has taken photos around the world, has assembled a remarkable collection of aerial and ground-level views that are well-edited and organized. Mellor's essays succinctly explain the region's history, geology, seasons, forests, trails and climbs.
Of the Hudson River, which flows from the High Peaks to Manhattan, Mellor writes: "To know the origins of the river is to trace the path of man's desire to extend his reach, backward into his past, outward into the earth's wilderness and inward into his own human heart."
It sounds like lofty sentiment, but having made that 300-mile trip, I think it's just as he says. With my colleague Fred LeBrun, I journeyed from Lake Tear of the Clouds to Manhattan, by canoe, raft, sailboat and powerboat, and wrote about the trip for the Albany Times Union. I can still recall the roar at the confluence of the Hudson and Cedar rivers from almost a decade ago and go back there sometimes in my mind.
Fragile vegetation clings to the rocky summit on Wright Peak.
Mellor, the author of rock-climbing and ice-climbing guidebooks, must have influenced Soot's subject matter: Many of the photos are of cliffs, slides and other high places. The photographs of Wallface, which gets its own chapter ("The Great Cleft"), are breathtaking. Soot juxtaposes wide shots of the mighty cliff with close-ups of climbers making their way up it. I turned most often to this section, awestruck by a cliff I hope to climb for the first time this year.
The book has six other chapters. "Discovery" focuses on the Hudson, from its highest source, Lake Tear of the Clouds, to New York City. "Living Landscape" celebrates slides, those ribbons of bedrock found on many of the High Peaks. "Pathways" is devoted to the paths of men and beasts. "High Winter" is about the cold season. "Fire and Rebirth" demonstrates how magnificently Rocky Peak Ridge has recovered from fire in the early 1900s. The final chapter, "Mists in Time," contains atmospheric shots of mist, fog and clouds. The book's last photo is of the blue misty mountains seen on the cover, this time spread over two pages.
Soot's photos give readers a proper sense of our place in the world. One reason for heading into the wilderness is to restore that proportion. The complications of our lives seem smaller when measured against the grandeur of nature. "The geologist knows that a million years is a very short time, and the seven thousand years of human civilization is insignificant in terms of the life of the planet," Mellor writes.
This may not be a book for those who charge up and down peaks, and then tick them off in their lists, unless they also take the time to smell the trees, hear the wind and touch the mountains along the way.
In the foreword, the environmental writer Bill McKibben says that the photos in Adirondacks Alive will appeal especially to those who have been to these mountains and know them intimately. "And for those who haven't yet been?" he asks. "We will see them soon, I imagine, for these images and these words are absolutely irresistible!"

FLASHBACK To March 3: De Blasio Asks New Yorkers To Ignore Coronavirus, Get On With Their Lives
David Dee Delgado/Getty Images
Chris White Tech Reporter
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio was dismissing the impact of coronavirus nearly two weeks before blasting President Donald Trump for not mobilizing the military to confront the outbreak.
De Blasio told Meet The Press' Chuck Todd on March 22 that he asked Trump to mobilize the military to take the virus head-on. He suggested that if the president doesn't act immediately, then "people will die who could have lived otherwise."
He made similar comments a week prior, telling MSNBC's Joy Reid on March 14 that the virus is a "war-like situation … We're in a wartime scenario with a Mar-a-Lago attitude being used by the federal government."
De Blasio was singing a different tune earlier in March.

"Since I'm encouraging New Yorkers to go on with your lives + get out on the town despite Coronavirus," the Democrat told his Twitter followers on March 3, no more than two weeks before likening the outbreak to a type of World War that required nationalizing industries.
De Blasio offered some suggestions for what New Yorkers should do instead of social distancing. (RELATED: Gov. Andrew Cuomo Rips 'Arrogant,' 'Disrespectful' New Yorkers Hanging Out In Parks During Coronavirus Outbreak)
"I thought I would offer some suggestions. Here's the first: thru Thurs 3/5 go see "The Traitor," he said, referring to a 2019 crime drama about the life and times of a Mafia mob boss.
Since I'm encouraging New Yorkers to go on with your lives + get out on the town despite Coronavirus, I thought I would offer some suggestions. Here's the first: thru Thurs 3/5 go see "The Traitor" @FilmLinc. If "The Wire" was a true story + set in Italy, it would be this film.
— Bill de Blasio (@BilldeBlasio) March 3, 2020
State officials were preparing for the virus long before de Blasio's comment. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, for instance, declared a state of emergency on Feb. 29, directing state agencies to use all resources necessary to address the fallout. New York has become the epicenter for the virus.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a press conference on March 15 that New York City now has more than 6,211 cases of coronavirus, while the state has 15,168 cases and 114 deaths.
Meanwhile, media pundits lambasted Trump for supposedly not acting fast enough to address the virus despite his decision in January to institute a travel ban on China, where coronavirus, or COVID-19 originated.
They also lashed out at the president for suggesting on Jan. 22 that his administration has "it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It's going to be just fine."
"The Mayor was in no way downplaying the seriousness of Coronavirus. At that time, New York City had very few cases and the guidance coming from both the Federal Government and the State was different. No one is taking this more seriously than our mayor and the people of this city. It's inaccurate to suggest otherwise," de Blasio spokesperson Freddi Goldstein said.

Vincent Bobbe is nearly forty years old. When he was about ten, he tripped on an Edgar Rice Burroughs novel and fell into his own brain. He's not quite managed to climb out yet, because the things that found him in there keep clawing him back in.
He's happily married with two young children and lives in Manchester, England. His wife is horrifically allergic to pretty much everything, so he doesn't have any pets. This suits him.
Thanks for posting Melissa, much appreciated!

These are lies, Dicky, not misrepresentations
This is how Dicky Clymo, emeritus professor at Queen Mary University of London, came into my life. First, he taught me about iron pans in peatlands. Second, he taught me that calling someone who is conveying a false statement a liar has implications (difficult to know and/or prove) over a) the person's knowledge of the truth, and b) the person's intention to confuse, manipulate or cheat her audience. A polite gentleman, he advised me to use instead the phrase that X manager was misrepresenting Y or Z fact or opinion.
I have tried to stick to that advice ever since. Even when X manager knows she is misrepresenting and intends to cheat, there are still good reasons not to call her a liar. First, because it is not trivial to prove an individual's intentions. Second, it can be unhelpful for those listening: in addition to the question what is the truth? they now need to also answer why is Fanis accusing the manager of having bad intentions?
And yet, there are so many instances where managers in UK universities (a university should be run by academics not by managers) have told their staff that there is a need to cut costs and hence a need, unfortunately, for redundancies. The question is whether indeed UK universities are operating in a difficult financial milieu, or whether the claim that costs need to be reduced is false. (The reason for making such a false claim is that Employment Law in the UK permits an employer in strained financial situation to effect redundancies, following due process.)
Take for instance the example of the restructurings at my former university. First, its "Senior Executive" effected them at different times on different Schools, claiming that each School should have a demonstrable positive income. (I suggest the Law should be clearer in demanding that the Employer shows that the whole institution is in need of cost-cutting, not only a certain part of the whole.) Thus, an institution declaring surplus of £17M was destroying people's careers justifying savings of less than £2M. Even if the accounting were true (who checked?) and the Medical School was in deficit (a very unlikely situation), the point is that no scrutiny is put on the University managers to be honest and transparent about their pronouncements.
Many colleagues have asked: why would the College wish to obtain & declare suprlus? One answer is: for it wishes to borrow money and to do so, it needs to demonstrate to the bank that it is in good standing to pay back the installments. And why is this bad, since the University will borrow for a good reason?
I will not expose again beyond one sentence the multiple crimes against humanity that take place while managers restructure. Valuable teachers disappear, excellent research programmes that took decades to build up get cancelled, esteemed members of the society end up in hospitals with diseases ranging from depression to cancer or takeing their own lives, while those remaining behind turn into cynic bastards, cruel bosses, unsharing brutes or psychological relics and students learn that such situation is normality. Avoiding all of the above is a good reason not to generate huge surplus.

However, I wrote today because of the following disturbing trend. The first time I heard cost-savings were related to investments in foreign countries was from the University of Central Lancashire redundancies dispute. Sacking your staff at home to pay for money-making activities abroad may be familiar in the capitalist world, but is foreign to what we consider academic & public institution. Yet, Queen Mary was doing exactly the same with its China initiatives. Those who promoted these policies left, one of them to the University of Aberdeen. Are you at all surprised of what followed? In short,

This Week In Golf: Daniel Berger Takes FedEx St. Jude Classic

Just 23 years old, Daniel Berger joined the ranks of golfers who can call themselves PGA Tour winners. He cruised to a three-shot victory Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tennessee, shooting all four rounds in the 60s. Berger beat a trio of golfers that included Phil Mickelson to claim his first career win and the $1.116 million first-place check.
After finishing 10th in the Masters earlier this spring, perhaps it was only a matter of time before Berger found himself in this position. A round of 64 on Friday put the Florida native in contention for his first win, and Berger's closing 67 secured the victory with a 13-under par overall score.
Phil Mickelson, always a crowd favorite, and Steve Stricker also posted Sunday 67s to finish in the second-place logjam. Brooks Koepka's round of 66 enabled him to catch Mickelson and Stricker to also claim part of the runners-up prize money ($462,933 each).
Low rounds were common on Sunday, as Dustin Johnson shot a tournament-low 63 to finish alone in fifth place at 9-under par. Brian Gay, 2009 FedEx St. Jude winner, closed with a 66 in the fourth round to manage an 8-under and sixth place.

However, Berger was the story. The 2015 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year delivered upon that promise as one of only two golfers in the event to shoot all four rounds under par. The other was Brett Stegmaier, who finished tied for ninth at 6-under.
The young winner also overcame a weather delay in the final round, which could have been problematic for an inexperienced golfer trying to hold off veterans like Mickelson and Stricker down the stretch. However, Berger responded well, playing the final 12 holes at 3-under par en route to the win.
Another fan favorite, Colt "Big Gravy" Knost, led the tournament field in driving accuracy this week, hitting 75 percent of the fairways while finishing tied for 18th place at 3-under.

Next On The Tee: U.S. Open
The 116th U.S. Open Championship is here, and the best players in the world will take on the Oakmont Country Club course in Plum, Pennsylvania. Just north of Pittsburgh, Oakmont is hosting its ninth U.S. Open Championship; it was the site of Johnny Miller's famous closing 63 in 1973, as well as Ángel Cabrera's 5-over par win in 2007. The purse for the event is $10 million.
At least 12 former champions are expected in the field, including 2015 winner Jordan Spieth and 2011 victor Rory McIlroy — both currently ranked in the world's top three. Mickelson, a winner of five major titles but infamously a six-time second-place finisher at the U.S. Open, also will be in the field, along with Ernie Els, who won the 1994 U.S. Open on this Oakmont circuit in a three-way playoff.
Four of the last six U.S. Open Championships have been won by non-Americans, and as many as eight former champions of international origin may be in the field this week. Mickelson will be a sentimental favorite, of course, as he turns 46 years old on Thursday. With Father's Day on Sunday, Mickelson's family could be front and center for an emotional moment if Lefty finally can break through the grass barrier that has denied him for so long in this event.
Oakmont Country Club was the first U.S. golf course to be designated as a National Historic Landmark, having been designed and laid out in 1903. The club has hosted eight prior U.S. Open Championships. Oakmont was also the setting for 12 other championship events over the years — including the 1922 PGA Championship won by Gene Sarazen, the 1925 U.S. Amateur won by Bobby Jones and the 1951 PGA Championship won by Sam Snead.
U.S. Open Championship winners at Oakmont include Tommy Armour (1927), Ben Hogan (1953) and Jack Nicklaus (1962). With such big names on the championship roll call at Oakmont, and the sport's best in the field, fans are surely in for another great weekend of golf.
The Oakmont Country Club course plays 7,219 yards long and is a par 70.

My column on the University of Texas incident is online now.
A good friend posted this to me, and she's absolutely right.
Funny that most of the national coverage hearkened back to Va. Tech. Those of us whose blood runs burnt orange immediately flashed back to the history we were taught (or lived) about Whitman. It's a big freshman lore experience to search fo r Whitman's bullet holes, which are still pretty easy to find if you are told where to look.
When I was in school, the Tower observation deck was still closed. And at the time of Whitman's rampage, there were no campus police, and no arms on campus. Civilians helped take Whitman out. They shot up at him (along with police), making him take cover and hampering his aim, which probably saved lives. An armed civilian was also part of the four-man team that eventually took him out at the top of the Tower.
I wanted to include these facts about the original campus killer, Charles Whitman, but I couldn't fit it all in with a 600 word limit. Thanks Lesley.
And thank you to Sharon Grigsby and Mike Hashimoto for helping me bring this across the finish line yesterday.
I will have a column on the University of Texas shooting in tomorrow's issue of the Dallas Morning News.
Guess what position I take? I wrote the thing in like 30 minutes.
Thanks to Sharon Grigsby for the heads up.
Yesterday's incident with a gunman on the University of Texas campus proves unequivocally that rules declaring certain places "gun-free zones" do not work.
All those restrictions do is disarm law-abiding people. Gun-free zones are shooting galleries for homicidal maniacs who are assured that their victims won't be shooting back.
Exactly how is it that the Bill of Rights is prohibited on college campuses?
John Woods, a UT graduate student who organized an anti-gun rally last year, disagreed. He said that having more guns on campus wouldn't improve security.
"If there were multiple students running around with guns, it would've made the police's job a lot harder this morning," Woods said Tuesday. He was a student at Virginia Tech University in 2007 when a gunman killed 32 people, including Woods' girlfriend.
So Woods has been on two campuses where guns are prohibited and yet a nut with a gun showed up armed for bear. And he's not seeing a pattern.
And he did it in less than two years.
Obama has driven Americans to start demanding a reduction in taxes, spending, regulation and government intervention.
Polls show that independents have moved right and are staying there," she writes. "A recent one, conducted by Democratic pollster Doug Schoen in late August for the conservative Independent Women's Voice, calls it a "fundamental realignment" as independents now lean to the right by 2 to 1. The survey asked independents what they would like candidates to do. The list of answers is clear: 'Decrease the size and scope of government, cut spending and taxes, balance the budget, reduce the federal debt, reduce the power of special interests and unions, repeal and replace the health care legislation, and decrease partisanship.' Most Tea Partyers would agree with just about everything on that list. So would most Republicans. And they'd all agree with independents who said that they're not getting those things from Washington.
Notice what's not on that list: climate change, financial regulation, bank bailouts, auto bailouts, troop surges, lawsuits on immigration reform, and repealing 'don't ask, don't tell.' (The only reason health care reform made the list is because independents want it scaled back.) Notice too that these are precisely what we have been getting from Washington.
Source with a hat/tip to Mike Hashimoto.
People want neither the leftist agenda of Obama nor the big government compassionate conservatism of George W. Bush.
For the most part, they want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
This is the Pledge to America I want to hear, and to see kept.
However, in a climate where even Pres. Obama's budget director warned that our debt is "serious and ultimately unsustainable," perhaps more should be expected of the establishment media.
Indeed, our unsustainable financial situation led to the creation of a Tea Party movement — one of the biggest political developments in America over the past two years. It would seem to be the perfect news peg for ongoing media coverage of our government's fiscal irresponsibility. Of course, it didn't work out quite that way, did it? Instead, the establishment media ignored, then attacked the Tea Party movement — first as astroturf, then as racist, as Birthers, as hypocritical (for not having formed when the problem was less dire, and for gullibly expecting the government to make good on current entitlement promises or reform them before adding new ones), etc. The establishment media's coverage of the Tea Party often seems devoted to discussing anything other than the issues at the heart of the movement.
Thus, the establishment media reveals itself, not as the people's watchdog against irresponsible government, but as the irresponsible government's guard dog against the people. It is ground zero for manufacturing center-left consent. After all, how could the establishment have seriously discussed passing the trillion-dollar ObamaCare behemoth, when so much of the funding comes from "reductions" in Medicare and Medicaid spending that is unsustainable in the first instance? How could the media have gone along with the laughable CBO estimate that ObamaCare will reduce the deficit (based on assumptions the CBO admits are unrealistic), if they had to take our ginormous public debt seriously? How could they float an economy-crushing cap-and-tax scheme to combat global warming, or climate change, or climate disruption, or whatever it's being called today, if everyone was forced to acknowledge how far government has already promised beyond its means?
Emphasis added, and the full thing is here.
Over the past 20 years, violent crime is down 43 percent (a 35 year low) and murder is down 49 percent (a 45 year low), according to the FBI stats.
During this same period, government has been doing away with gun control laws and making it easier for people to carry guns.
Less Gun Control: Over the last quarter-century, many federal, state and local gun control laws have been eliminated or made less restrictive. The federal "assault weapon" ban, upon which gun control supporters claimed public safety hinged, expired in 2004 and the murder rate has since dropped 10 percent. The federal handgun waiting period, for years the centerpiece of gun control supporters' agenda, expired in 1998, in favor of the NRA-supported national Instant Check, and the murder rate has since dropped 21 percent. Accordingly, some states have eliminated obsolete waiting periods and purchase permit requirements. There are now 40 Right-to-Carry states, an all-time high, up from 10 in 1987.
And all the while the number of privately owned guns in America has grown by 90 million.
So, where's the pained hand-wringing about how "It will be like the Wild West if people carry guns" and "There will be shootouts in parking lots" now?
Any local members of the media who made such claims back when concealed carry was passed in Texas — ahem, you know who I'm looking at — care to 'fess up?
Last year an American cartoonist bravely tried to fight back against the threat to free speech posed by radical Islamists by creating Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.
She did this in response to the worldwide death threats against Dutch cartoonists who had dared draw pictures of the Prophet, which is against Islamic law.
Now she has, at the advice of the FBI, gone into hiding because of threats from radical Islamists hijacking a peaceful religion.
Those who support free speech and the free exchange of ideas cannot countenance this ongoing suppression.
This is not about insulting Islam or supporting any religion at all. It is about standing up for free speech and not being cowed by radicals who believe their religious beliefs are chains on the rest of the world.
Please join in the fight for free speech. They can't silence us all if we stand together. This effort, by the way, welcomes free speech advocates of all faiths and creeds.
Incidentally, here's what prompted the fatwa against Molly.
Good news is the long-term trend. Bad news is too many people get caught up in trendy waves when charismatic political messiahs (from left and right) arrive on the scene.
Washington (CNN) – A new poll indicates that only one in four Americans say they trust the government to do what is right always or most of the time, one explanation for the anti-incumbent sentiment in the country today.
According to CNN/Opinion Research Corporation national survey released Tuesday, 25 percent of the public indicates that they trust the government in Washington to do what's is right most or all of the time, with 66 percent saying they trust the government to do what's right only some of the time and eight percent saying they never trust the government.
"That lack of trust in government is not a recent phenomenon – except for a brief spike fueled by patriotism immediately after 9/11, a majority have not trusted the government since the early 1970s," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
But the recession appears to have made matters worse.
"Ten years ago, roughly four in ten said they trusted the government always or most of the time; that number dropped to the mid-to-low 30′s in the middle part of the decade, but then dropped to the 20s in 2008, where it has stayed ever since. The all-time low in CNN polls was in the summer of 1994 – just before Newt Gingrich led the GOP to take control on Capitol Hill – when only 17 percent said they trusted the government most or all of the time," adds Holland.

This Co-Star Was Shocked Michelle Pfeiffer "Said Hello," Let Alone Had an Affair With Him
They fell for each other on the set of a period romance.
Amy Sussman/WireImage
For nearly 30 years, Michelle Pfeiffer has been married to David E. Kelley, the TV writer and producer behind such hits as Ally McBeal and Big Little Lies. But before that, the actor had a first marriage—one that started to come to an end around the time that she starred in the period drama Dangerous Liaisons. It came out after the 1988 film was released that Pfeiffer and her co-star John Malkovich fell for each other on set, something that Malkovich later confessed that he found utterly surprising. Read on to find out why the actor said it was "hard to believe" that Pfeiffer would even speak to him and how the off-screen affair impacted both stars' existing relationships.
READ THIS NEXT: The Moment Michelle Pfeiffer Realized She Was "In a Cult."
Pfeiffer and Malkovich played doomed lovers in the film.
Set in 18th century Paris, Dangerous Liaisons is adapted from the 1985 play and 1782 novel Les Liaisons dangereuses. Malkovich stars as Vicomte Sébastien de Valmont, who accepts a challenge from his former lover, Glenn Close's Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil, to seduce the innocent and proper Madame Marie de Tourvel, played by Pfeiffer.
Their characters do eventually fall in love, but the games that Valmont and Merteuil play with the lives of others lead to everyone's downfall. The 1999 teen movie Cruel Intentions is another adaptation of the novel, that one set in modern day, and a Dangerous Liaisons series premiered on Starz this year.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb
Both actors were married to other people.

Pfeiffer married fellow actor Peter Horton in 1981, and they worked together a few times before their split. She appeared in an after school special he directed, and they acted with each other in the 1987 science-fiction satire Amazon Women on the Moon. Pfeiffer has also credited her first husband with helping her escape the clutches of a predatory cult that was bleeding her of money early in her career.
Meanwhile, Malkovich was with the late Glenne Headly, known for her roles in Dick Tracy and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. They had been married since 1982.

Their director confirmed the affair in 2003.
In a 2003 profile of Malkovich by The New York Times, Dangerous Liaison director Stephen Frears spoke about how the lives of the actors began to intertwine with the drama between their characters.
"His marriage was breaking up, and, during the movie, he was having an affair with Michelle Pfeiffer," the filmmaker said. "Dangerous Liaisons is about betrayal and lies and relationships unraveling. It was one of those times where reality and art intersect. It was overwhelming to John. Even for a man who delights in bad behavior, that was a difficult time."
Malkovich later expressed disbelief that he and Pfeiffer got together.
Vera Anderson/WireImage
Malkovich found his affair with Pfeiffer unlikely and told Rolling Stone as much in 2008.
"It's hard to believe Michelle Pfeiffer ever said hello to me," Malkovich said, as reported by The Things. But he didn't have much more to say on the matter.
"Not that she's not memorable, God knows," he continued. "But I sort of blocked it out. What I'm trying to say is when I think of the other person, I don't think of me as involved with them. They're in-corrupted by me. As if they were never troubled by my existence."
The affair didn't last long.
Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Malkovich and Pfeiffer's relationship didn't sustain, though neither has spoken about why it came to an end—and Pfeiffer hasn't publicly commented about it at all. The Age reported in 2003, however, that Malkovich "cried for a year" after they went their separate ways.
Pfeiffer and Horton separated in 1988 and eventually divorced, but the French Exit star said it was rushing into marriage at 22 that was real problem.
"I think my husband and I were both too young, and as we started growing up our needs changed. We've always been close, even up to the separation, which was very difficult on both of us because we have never stopped caring for each other," she told Interview in 2012. "We didn't have an angry breakup—he even helped me pack my car. [laughs] It wasn't bitter, and we talked every day on the phone. It was, in that sense, really difficult because we didn't have the anger to hide behind, the anger that covers up all the pain. But we're like best friends when we see each other."
The affair may have caused more problems for Malkovich and Headley, who The New York Times notes once referred to her ex as "the root of all evil." They also divorced in 1988.
Pfeiffer wed Kelley in 1993, and they have two children. Malkovich has been in a relationship with Nicoletta Peyran since 1989, and they have two kids as well. So while the stars' on-set affair was left in the past, you can always put on the movie to experience the chemistry that led to it.

Старогръцката комедия възниква през 6 век пр.н.е., но първите литературни опити в този жанр не са познати.

Състезания между комедийни хорове се провеждат за първи път към 488/86 г. пр.н.е. по време на Големите Дионисии. Думата "комедия" буквално означава "песен на комоса", като "комос" значи "весело празнично шествие".

Според Аристотел комедията води началото си от запевачите на фалическите песни, изпълнявани по време на процесиите в чест на боговете на плодородието, най-вече на Дионис (също на Деметра и дъщеря ѝ Персефона, Приап). Обредите и песните в чест на тези божества виждат в смеха и сквернословието жизнетворяща сила. Други източници са: шумните и весели битови сценки с пародиен и карикатурен характер, чрез които селяните, отиващи в града за Дионисиевите празници, са осмивали градската култура. От култа към Дионис комедията взема следните елементи:
 хор, състоящ се от 24-ма души, разделени на 2 полухория,
 агон – традиционният му характер се заменя с актуална проблематика. Например в комедията "Облаци" на Аристофан се противопоставят стари и нови нрави;
 парабаза – изпълнение на хора, при което той сваля маските и се обръща към публиката по някакъв актуален проблем, като понякога парабазата няма връзка със сюжета на комедията;
 богатата, ярка маскировка.

Както комедията, така и трагедията водят началото си от култа към Дионис, но традиционността много бързо се преодолява и проблематиката става актуална. Трагедията и комедията имат още нещо общо помежду си: стремежът към очистване, но постигат тази цел по различен начин. Трагедията чрез състрадание и страх, а комедията – чрез смях, породен от фиктивното страдание на героя.

Еволюция
Старата атическа комедия според сведенията на Аристотел води началото си от Сицилия. Още в края на VI в. пр.н.е. сицилианецът Епихарм писал комедии на дорийски диалект, които не са стигнали до нас, но древните гърци и особено Платон ги ценели високо. Влиянието на тези първи опити, както и твърде свободните песни и шеги, с които били съпровождани дионисиевите шествия в Атика, довели до възникването на т. нар. стара комедия, която бързо заела мястото си наред с трагедията в официалните състезания, устройвани по време на Дионисиите. На дорийска земя, в Мегара, близо до Атина, пуснала здрави корени традицията на късите комични представления, харесвани заради дълбоката наблюдателност, която те разкривали, и за остроумните максими, с които били изпъстрени.

Първото състезание за комедии е проведено през 485 г. пр.н.е. в Атина. Известни са около 40 автори на стари комедии, което показва популярността на този типично атински литературен вид през V в. пр.н.е. Неговите най-известни представители са Кратин, който печели състезание през 457 г. пр.н.е., Евполид и Аристофан през последната четвъртина на века. Само от Аристофан са запазени цели пиеси, които дават представа за вкусовете на атинската публика.

Старата комедия има изобличителен политически характер, персонажите не са индивидуализирани, а представят обобщени образи. В нея не се търси правдоподобност, а смях. Сюжетите обикновено имат фантастичен характер, като главният герой предприема чудновато или смешно начинание, а хорът е съставен от колоритни персонажи. В поредица от сцени героят постига целите си въпреки всички пречки. Следва интермедия без всякаква връзка със сюжета, в която хорът се обръща към зрителите, за да изрази отношението на автора към един или друг злободневен въпрос. При финалната процесия хорът напуска сцената, прославяйки Дионис. Комедията има следната структура:
 пролог – експозицията, в която се излага фантастичният проект на героя; изяснява се съдържанието и смисълът на дадената комедия.
 парод – първото излизане на хора на сцената.
 агон – състезания между действащите лица; обикновено изказаното от този, който надделява в спора, съдържа посланието на комедията.
 парабаза – изпълнение на хора, при което той сваля маските и се обръща към публиката по някакъв актуален проблем, като понякога парабазата няма връзка със сюжета на комедията;
 поредица от сцени и стазими, в които се развива сюжетното действие.
 екзод – заключителна част, не следва хорово изпълнение.

В произведенията на средната комедия от IV век пр.н.е. постепенно се преодолява политическият характер на комедията и значително намалява ролята на хора. Такива са последните пиеси на Аристофан, писани в началото на IV в. пр.н.е., които се различават чувствително от първите: "Жените в Народното събрание", "Плутос". Ролята на хора се стеснява, свободата на фантазията е вече по-ограничена. Личната сатира отстъпва място на социалната, вместо лични нападки са обрисувани човешки типове, смешните хрумвания са заменени от пародийно представяне на митовете.

В края на IV век пр.н.е. се появява новата атическа комедия и утвърждава комедията на характерите и интригата.

Приемниците на Аристофан, като Антифан или Алексис от Турии, изглежда са били плодовити писатели, на които се приписвали стотици пиеси. Но ние не знаем почти нищо за тях и гръцката комедия, както и трагедията, не е създала повече шедьоври през IV в. пр.н.е. до появата на Менандър, който принадлежи вече към елинистическата епоха.

Q: How to input variables in command prompt and compare the input variables with other variables I would like to first explain what this application/Python program does so that you have a better understanding of the problem. I am an absolute beginner in programming so please take it easy on my i have tried my best to explain it as vividly as i could.
This application will be used to test 4000 devices for there correct software hardware version and other information. How it does this is through the Web-server, each device has a 2D code(its like a barcode) which will be scanned, this scanned code contains the mac address and the ordernumber. firstly when i run the program on command prompt it should look like this :

I should be able to define what the desired variables are hence typing it manually in the command prompt EXCEPT for the scancode which will automatically appear when I used the 2D scanner and scan the code which will be on the device exterior. The scancode contains the devices mac address(last 12 digits) and the Order number(first 5 digits) i found out how to dissect it and compare it with the webserver's Mac address and order number.
Once i have defined the desired values for Order number Hardware version Software version etc these "desired" values need to be compared with the webserver values. (Please see my Python code for reference i take the webserver values through xml.dom and then compare it with the desired values to see if the values are correct.
So far i have only manually defined the desired values in the source code but I want to define them on the command prompt line after calling the programm "C:\Users\Barry\Automate main.py"
I hope you guys have understood the problem i am facing, I want to know if anyone can help me solve this task i have googled a so much about this but i cannot find out how to do it.
In the picture i have uploaded the values underlined in red are to be manually input and the blue one is the scan code which will automatically appear when I scan the device.
I tried several things with input() method but yeah it did not work out example:
print("./productionreview -output test.csv", "--desired-orderno = ",input(),  "--desired-hardwareversion = ",input(), "--desired-softwareversion = ",input()," --pc-praefix",input(), "--desired-device-type=",input(), "--scancode=", "58183#99AF0M000F9EF3F800")

Here is my code guys please go easy on me if i have not used the right terms i am so new to the programming world but it is interesting.

print("./productionreview -output test.csv", "--desired-orderno = ",input(),  "--desired-hardwareversion = ",input(), "--desired-softwareversion = ",input()," --pc-praefix",input(), "--desired-device-type=",input(), "--scancode=", "58183#99AF0M000F9EF3F800")

# Desired Values

# Timestamp
now = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

# Eingabe von scancode
scancode_string = input()
scan_code_cropped_mac = scancode_string[12:]
scan_code_cropped_artikel = scancode_string[:5]
#print(scan_code_cropped_artikel)
#print(scan_code_cropped_mac)
print(scancode_string)

print("Current device information: ")
print(now)
print(100*"")

# Order number
print("Desired Order number:",d_ordernum)
print("Order number from scancode :",scan_code_cropped_artikel)
print("Ordernumber from wbm: ", ord_nmr)
if d_ordernum == ord_nmr == scan_code_cropped_artikel:
    print("Order number PASS")
else:
    print("Order number does not match")
print(100*"")

# Hardware version
print("Desired Hardware Version:",d_hw_version)
print("Hardware Version from wbm: ", v)
if d_hw_version == v:
    print("Hardware version PASS")
else:
    print("Wrong Hardware Version")
print(100*"")

# Software version
print("Desired Software Version:",d_sf_version)
print("Software Version from wbm: ", b)
if d_sf_version == b:
    print("Software version PASS")
else:
    print("Wrong Software Version")
print(100*"")

# Mac address
print("Mac address from scancode :",scan_code_cropped_mac)
print("Mac address from wbm: ", mac_addr)
list_of_chars = mac_addr.split(":")
mac_address_string_joined = ''.join(list_of_chars)
if scan_code_cropped_mac == mac_address_string_joined:
    print("Correct MAC address")
else:
    print("Fail")
print(100*"")

d_product_code = pc_praefix + "-" + d_sf_version + "-" + d_hw_version
product_code = pc_praefix + "-" + b + "-" + v
print("Desired product code: ",d_product_code )
print("Product code of current device: ", product_code)
print(100*"")

print("Desired device type:",d_dev_typ)
print("Device type from wbm: ", dev_typ)
if d_dev_typ == dev_typ:
    print("Device type PASS")
else:
    print("Wrong device type")
print(100*"")

I could really use your suggestions and example code guys

A: I think the easiest (and the most pythonic) way to do it is by using the argparse module.
Here an example that will help you understand how to use it:
import argparse

def main():
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='This is the description of your command line interface')
    parser.add_argument('-o', '--output', help='The output file (example test.csv)', required=True)
    parser.add_argument('--desired-orderno', help='Desired order', type=int, default=1000, required=True)
    parser.add_argument('--desired-hardwareversion', help='Desired Hardware Version', required=True)
    # ...
    parser.add_argument('--scancode', help='Scancode')
    args = parser.parse_args()

    print(f'Output file: {args.output}')
    if args.scancode:
        print(f'Scancode: {args.scancode}')

main()

As you can see in this example, the module argparse is pretty easy to use.
You will need to define every argument.
You should try to use functions for your code, it will help you to define something easier to read / use :)
I hope it will help you enough.

Q: Capybara: Verify that ajax-loaded content is not present visit "/whatever"
expect(page).to have_no_content "This is loaded in asynchronously"

This should fail, but passes. Why? When the page first loads, the content isn't there, and Capybara reasonably doesn't wait for it.
What is the blessed way to wait for this content, now that Capybara 2.0 has declared wait_until bad news?

A: visit "/whatever"
wait_for_ajax do
  expect(page).to have_no_content "This is loaded in asynchronously"
end

Then, in spec_helper:
def wait_for_ajax
  sleep(Capybara.default_wait_time)
  yield
end

Note that this waits to the end of Capybara's default_wait_time every time it runs this spec. But I'm not sure how else you'd check for something like that. If your ajax executes quickly, you can compensate for this by setting the default_wait_time to something like 1 second.

A: visit "/whatever"
wait_for_ajax do
  expect(page).to have_no_content "This is loaded in asynchronously"
end

Then, in spec_helper:
def wait_for_ajax
  page.evaluate_script("jQuery.active") == 0
  yield
end

This will evaluate the script until it is true, then run your assertion.

Launch of GovSat-1 clears the way for first flight of Falcon Heavy
Jason Rhian
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The tiny European nation of Luxembourg was able to honor some of its commitments to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization by having the GovSat-1 communications satellite sent to orbit today. SpaceX successfully sent the spacecraft aloft via a 'Full Thrust' Falcon 9 rocket at 4:25 p.m. EST (21:25 GMT) on Wednesday, Jan. 31. The flight helped set the stage for one of the most anticipated missions of 2018.
Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Space Launch Complex 40 was the site from which GovSat-1 was sent to Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) via the nine Merlin 1D rocket engine's thunder and flame. It will now be jointly operated between Luxembourg and satellite operator SES.
Weather was the primary concern in terms of today's launch with only a 40 percent chance that the pre-flown Falcon 9 would be able to lift off on time. While sunny (and slightly chilly), the skies dished out more than a little wind which had mission planners worried.
When all was said and done, SpaceX pushed through the stiff Florida breeze and into the skies above Florida's Space Coast, sending its precious cargo into the black of space.
As noted, the Falcon 9 that conducted today's flight has flown before – sending the classified NROL-76 payload to orbit in May of last year (2017) on behalf of the National Reconnaissance Office.
The mission got underway at the very start of the slightly more than two hour launch window at 4:25 p.m. EST. The path to the flight's beginning actually started an hour and 13 minutes prior to liftoff with the approval by the launch director to beginning loading propellants into the Falcon 9. About three minutes later RP-1, a highly-refined, aerospace grade version of kerosene, began coursing into the booster.
Thirty-five minutes prior to T-0 and liquid oxygen loading of the rocket got underway. Roughly 28 minutes after that and the Falcon 9 underwent an engine chill phase prior to flight.
At about a minute prior to the rocket taking off from SLC-40, the Falcon 9's flight computer began final prelaunch checks. Also at this time, propellant tank pressurization to flight pressure began.
This Falcon 9 did not attempt a landing on either the "Of Course I Still Love You" Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship or at Cape Canaveral's Landing Zone 1. Despite the fact that no landing was attempted, the 1032.2 core still sported the landing legs and fins that allow the rocket's first stage to land at either location. There was a good reason why the rocket included these components.
SpaceX's CEO and Founder Elon Musk noted on Twitter, that this F9 did test out a very high retro-thrust landing on water. Musk posted an image of the first stage laying on its side in water and stated that the company would try to tow it back to shore.
GovSat-1 will use both X-band as well as military grade Ka-Band frequencies via high power and highly-steerable mission beams, making the spacecraft capable of supporting multiple operations. It turns out that NATO will not be the sole beneficiary of GovSat-1's capabilities.
"While NATO is certainly a focus user-group, that we target specifically in the context of…defense…having some of the significant capabilities of the satellite being used for supporting NATO," Patrick Biewer, CEO of GovSat told SpaceFlight Insider. "But next to NATO, we will also provide satellite communications to European nations, as well as to the U.S. and any allied nation."
GovSat-1 is slated to provide communications services to NATO and its allies. It is hoped the spacecraft will enter into service in March of this year (2018). Photo Credit: Sean Costello / SpaceFlight Insider
GovSat-1 is targeted to be sent to geostationary orbit about 22,000 miles (35,406 kilometers) over the equator. It will serve customers in Europe and the Mediterranean and is a multi-mission satellite providing X-band and Military Ka-band capabilities. GovSat-1 comes equipped with steerable spot beams and an advanced Global X-band beam and was built by Orbital ATK, it is planned to be positioned at 21.5 degrees East.
The mission had been slated to get underway on Tuesday, Jan. 20, but an issue with a sensor on the Falcon 9's second stage forced a scrub of that attempt.
This was only the second flight from SLC-40 since the 2016 explosion of another Falcon 9 that held the $185 million Amos-6 satellite. The rocket had been sitting on the pad awaiting a test.
This afternoon, just 45 seconds prior to the opening of the launch window – SpaceX's launch director gave the go ahead for launch operations to proceed.
The nine Merlin 1D engines began their engine ignition sequence three seconds prior to the scheduled liftoff, a command from the rocket's engine controller gave the order that, essentially, got the mission underway.
Everything proceeded as advertised, with the rocket passing through the period of the flight that places both it and its precious cargo under the greatest amount of stress about one minute and 18 seconds after leaving the pad (this is known as maximum dynamic pressure or "max Q").
Two minutes and 38 seconds into its ascent, the Falcon 9's first stage underwent engine shutdown/main engine cutoff (MECO) with the rocket's two stages separating two seconds after that, with the lone Merlin 1D on the rocket's second stage activating a second later.
Once the second stage had carried GovSat-1 through a majority of Earth's atmosphere, the rocket's payload fairing (nosecone) separated, revealing the GovSat-1 spacecraft (this took place at about three minutes and 44 seconds after liftoff).
GovSat-1 lifted off under mostly clear skies and was the final scheduled SpaceX mission before the planned launch of the company's Falcon Heavy booster. Photo Credit: Sean Costello / SpaceFlight Insider
Eight minutes and 35 seconds after launch, the Falcon 9's second stage underwent the flight's first 2nd stage engine cutoff (SECO-1) – it would not reactivate until the mission elapsed time had reached 26 minutes and 40 seconds. This second burn only lasted for bout one minute and 48 seconds.
After 32 minutes and 19 seconds, Gov-Sat-1 was successfully deployed.
"We expect the satellite to reach its final position around the middle of February," Biewer said. "At that point, we'll be in position to do on-orbit testing – which should take us around one or two weeks. That should put us at the beginning of March for the start of operations."
This was SpaceX's second flight of 2018 and it came less than a month after the Zuma mission ended with the $1 billion U.S. national defense payload apparently ending up at the bottom of the ocean (that mission launched on Jan. 8). SpaceX has publicly denied responsibility for the incident and the U.S. Air Force has expressed support for the NewSpace firm.
The last milestone on the road to launch, the static test fire of the 'flight-proven' Falcon 9 rocket's first stage, was successfully completed on Friday, Jan. 26. It was the second time in three days that a member of the Falcon family of launch vehicles had conducted this critical test firing.
On Jan. 24, 2018 – 27 Merlin 1D engines fired in unison for 10 seconds on SpaceX's new Falcon Heavy rocket over at Kennedy Space Center's historic Launch Complex 39A. In so doing, the path was cleared for the rocket's first flight, which could come as early as Feb. 6.
The payload for the Falcon Heavy's first mission is SpaceX's CEO and Founder Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster. As such, the first flight of the heavy-lift booster could both serve to prove out the capability of the FH and as a publicity stunt to promote Musk's Tesla Inc. automobile company. Musk has warned that the FH's first flight could end with an explosion, however, the company's track record with its riskier endeavors has demonstrated the ability to perform despite predictions of anomalies.

Jason, EXCELLENT coverage. Thanks for another interesting piece.
Do you, or anybody reading know the on-board "computer" hardware and software (OS) that the F9 uses? Any computer details would be greatly interesting.
I'm sorry, it's difficult to get even basic information out of SpaceX, proprietary data, such as that regarding the F9's on-board computer is a non-starter.
Sincerely, Jason Rhian – Editor, SpaceFlight Insider
Difficult to find yes, but you might find this spacex Bazel presentation interesting…

Some time ago, there was an IAMA with SpaceX's flight software team: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1853ap/we_are_spacex_software_engineers_we_launch/
Sadly, many interesting questions remained unanswered. Onboard systems are redundant COTS CPUs running embedded Linux, though. Some other things are mentioned at https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/3y95y4/what_kind_of_embedded_systems_hardware_cpu_rtos/
Well this launch would seem to validate everything SpaceX has stated about Zuma. On to FH.
Rob C.
I hope the Falcon Heavy lift off goes without a problem. It's too bad they could have fitted Raptor engines to these rockets see if it was less risky than hoping all 27 Merlins would work at same time.
People seem of believe that the probability of getting 27 engines to work properly together is less that 9 or even 1. That's not true. The probability is the same as each engine is separate and has exactly the same probability of working as all 27. The increased risk comes with any interactions between them. I'm sure SpaceX has characterised these interactions pretty thoroughly as they have been flying 9 engines together for quite some time now but there could be some unknowns out there. We don't know how much there is, possibly none.
Anyway the point I was making is that it's the unknowns in engine interactions that'll bring the FH undone.. I don't believe that there are any aerodynamic issues that'll do it as these can be analysed and corrected in simulation.
I prefer to be more optimistic that Elon and bet on a successful flight, i.e. Betting on the science
Gary Church
3 Saturn V F-1A engines produce more thrust than those 27 Merlins. You seriously expect anyone to believe your "people seem to believe" and "That's not true" statements? You have got to be kidding or you are gullible and somebody has been taking advantage of you.
Hi Gary. Nice to have your comments again. No I'm not gullible and I'm not kidding, I just prefer to believe in the science and engineering behind SpaceX hardware that's all.
Btw, comparing the Falcon and Saturn V engines adds nothing to the discussion. They're completely different so comparisons are meaningless. Perhaps you could think about that a bit before posting your inevitable reply, although kudos for shortening your post length.
Tom D Perkins
I don't know they were fully characterized before the static test fire, but I am sure they are now–at least with respect to acoustics.
I may be mistaken but I don't think that full-blown Raptor engines would enable successful return of the 3 boosters for reuse.
Does anyone know if there is any special treatment to the Tesla Roadster for vibration purposes during launch. My understanding is that there are very high vibration stresses involved.

Fire breaks out at long-abandoned Carr School in St. Louis
The severity of the fire was not known.

ST. LOUIS — The longevity of a decades-old abandoned school in north St. Louis was met with another obstacle as a fire was reported early Tuesday morning.
Known to many throughout the city, Carr School sits at the intersection of Carr Steet and North 15th Street. Sometime around 12:45 a.m., crews with the St. Louis Fire Department responded to the school to fight flames that were reportedly traveling up and down the midsection of the south end of the building.
5 On Your Side was at the scene as the firefighters were knocking out windows and dropping various items to help put out the fire. The severity of the fire was not known.
According to the website Built St. Louis, Carr School first opened in 1908. Designed by architect William B. Ittner, the school was "noted for its kindergarten space, nestled in the center of the building between its two projecting wings." The school remained a place of education until 1983 when it closed its doors to the public — and it's been slowly rotting away since then.
In 2007, Carr School was referenced as one of the most endangered buildings in the city by the Landmarks Associations of St. Louis. In their original rundown of the school, the noted deterioration of the building was taken into an account; an issue still prevalent 11 years later.
In recent years, several rehabilitation projects have come forward, although none have stabilized or come to fruition. As the Landmark Association of St. Louis said in their 2007 ranking, one of the more notable projects was led by the Carr Square Tenants' Association and hoped to convert the former school into a community center. Those plans, though, were canned and "no others have proved feasible."
The future of the property remains in the air.

In the aftermath of NHLer Rick Rypien's tragic death, Scott Burnside writes, "This is what we do in the face of unexplained tragedy. We ask questions for which there are precious few answers. We demand change and action without really understanding what it was that led to the tragedy in the first place. We wonder at what might have been done differently, what signs might have been missed."
Mental health issues are so difficult to admit, get help for and be understood by others. So tragic!
Please keep Rick Rypien's family in your prayers! I pray that the stigma attached to mental illness will somehow, someday, forever be removed.
