For the first time, researchers place an electron in a dual state—neither freed nor bound
Atoms are composed of electrons moving around a central nucleus to which they are bound. The electrons can also be torn away via the powerful electric field of a laser, overcoming the confining force of their nucleus. A half-century ago, the theorist Walter Henneberger wondered if it were possible to use a laser field to free an electron from its atom without removing it from the nucleus. Many sci

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
by Ugh So I won't have fraud and noted stupid spineless squish Paul Ryan to kick around any longer. So sad, so sad. I'm sure he will go on to that great K Street suite in the sky. But I will miss his ability to gracefully and with strangely weird-eyed aplomb sh1t on the poor, weak, and elderly while maintaining a sterling reputation for "wonkery" with the Beltway Press when all it really was warm
The Stupidest Environment Imaginable - Open Thread
by Ugh Holy flippin' Jeebus, do things just get stupider and stupider, with a side of the crazy, also a bit o' scary. Honestly, can we please just shut this whole simulation down for abject ludicrousness and dumb plot twists? I mean, CNN had a chryon just now entitled something like "The Playmate, the Porn Star and the President" I sh1t you not. Stop mailing it in show runners! Meanwhile, apparen
What will Japan do about Syria?
by Ugh In light of another apparent chemical attack by the Assad regime in Syria, the world turns its eyes to Japan and asks what will its government do in light of the most recent atrocity. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Sunday promised a “big price” to be paid. In a tweet, Mr. Abe laid the blame for the attack partly on President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. Fumio Kyuma, Mr. Abe's Defense Ministe
Annals of Modern Life: Customer Service in the Age of Globalization
by JanieM A friend of mine bought her five-year-old a stuffed animal on Amazon. Almost as soon as it arrived, one of the legs came off. She wrote to the seller to report the problem and got this reply: Hello friend Thanks for your order in our store. The sheep is made from cotton. We will check it before we send it out. But sometime there still will be a little problem with it. You can sew it by
Ice and Unpredictability
by JanieM I live across the road from the northern end of a lake that’s about five miles long, maybe a mile wide at its widest, over a hundred feet deep in spots. The lake is a year-round playground: swimming, fishing, jet-skiing, a bit of water-skiing in the summer; snowmobiling and ice fishing in the winter. Ice fisherfolk tell me they’ve measured as much as two feet of thickness deep in the se

My Tyee column: Why the new health tax makes sense
Winners are always champions of the status quo. Like Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson. He was asked whether it was fair that employers had paid MSP premiums for 40 per cent of workers, while the rest had to pay the premiums out of their own pockets. “Fairness is always a matter to be sorted out in the marketplace,” he said. “That’s what employers have to do is compete for good workers and pay them

Are You A Liar? Arbitration Is The Forum For You
Arbitration is very popular with employers, and no wonder. It's a liar's forum that employees can be blackmailed into. While courts penalize litigants for lying with heavy sanctions and dismissal of their claims/defenses, there is little a court can do when a litigant lies in an arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S. Code § 10(a) provides: In any of the following cases the United States
Dear Employees and Job-Seekers: Stop Making These Career-Killing Mistakes
As someone who has handled employee-side employment law for many years, I run into the same frustrating mistakes over and over again. I thought I'd touch on a few that are common so that maybe I can stop you (or a friend or family member) from destroying their career. Here are the most common career-killing mistakes I see in my practice: Complaining about harassment : This is really the number one

Syria, Deterrence of Chemical Weapons and U.S. Policy in the Middle East – By Joshua Landis
Syria, Deterrence of Chemical Weapons and U.S. Policy in the Middle East By Joshua Landis For Syria Comment – April 12, 2018 President Trump has been provoked into action by the terrible videos coming out of Syria. They are horrifying. He can uphold the Obama policy, which is to stand by the international norm of prohibiting the use of chemical weapons if it is proven that Assad used chemical wea
Creating a New Syria: Property, Dispossession, and Regime Survival — by Erwin van Veen
Bulldozers remove barriers from a road in Harasta, east of Damascus (SANA via AP) By Erwin van Veen While all eyes were fixed on the US-led military response to the alleged chemical attack in East Ghouta, a little-noted event occurred that could potentially have a much greater impact on Syria’s future. About 10 days ago, President Assad’s regime passed Law no. 10 . The law foresees the creation o
Peak Fragility: Why The Middle East Is Doomed — by Ehsani
By Ehsani The Mideast is doomed. Egypt alone needs to create 700,000 jobs every single year to absorb the new job seekers out of its 98 million population. A third of this population already live below the poverty line (482 Egyptian Pounds a month, which is less than $1 a day). The seeds of the vicious circle that the Mideast region finds itself in today were planted at least five decades ago. Ex

Eastern Ghouta x 20, by Aron Lund
After several days of calm, the battle in Eastern Ghouta enclave seems to have picked up again as President Bashar al-Assad’s government launched a new round of air strikes on Douma , the only city still left in insurgent hands. Leaders of the Islam Army, the opposition militia that rules the city, have insisted that they will stay in Douma come what may, but they do not have the military muscle

The Earth and Man: Setting the Stage

"Post Modernism" and the General Incompetence in Science Today
I posted the following comment on the American Thinker site, in response to a comment that referred to "cultural geography": As a physicist, the term "cultural geography" sounds like another meaningless term, that belongs in sociology, not hard science. I just took the time to look up "post-modernism" in my 4-inch thick dictionary (the only clue -- other than the vague mention of "gaia" -- your c
Easter Once Again
I have posted the following Easter comment on American Thinker : Roman Catholicism, the original "universal" Christianity, appropriated many popular beliefs of earlier, so-called "pagan" religions, which were clasped tightly and unquestioningly by their followers in happy obedience to long, long tradition -- the colored eggs and new, green grass filled baskets of Easter, for example. This was don

The High-fat Hep C Diet

Uncoupling - Saturated fatty acids and glucose are preferred muscle fuels, but unsaturated fats act as buffers
An intriguing new study looked at 2 different types of enteral feeding in 60 critically ill patients for 7 days. The fat-based formula was 37%E glucose, so this was not a test of a low carb diet, and predictably the differences in glucose and insulin AUC, though trending in the right direction, were not significant.[1] The significant finding was higher resting energy expenditure (REE) in the hig
