This is what a Nobel prize looks like:



Today's Nobel prize in physics went to Peter Higgs and François Englert,

"for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the Atlas and CMS experiments at Cern's Large Hadron Collider"

It's a pretty controversial decision as three collaborators who did their work in the states produced a similar paper and missed out, not to mention the fact that CERN's experiments didn't get a share of the prize, though they did get a mention. It is, however, a nice example of what we, not as a society, nor a country, but as a species can achieve if we put our minds and resources into discovery.

Hey, that guys teaches at the school my wife's going to to get her MBA. So combined with the one the one they already have there that won the Nobel prize in economics... that makes two Nobel's at what is a very small school.

I've always liked how in hot weather countries, business dress is dictated by the actual temperature, whereas in the west you have to wear sweltering wool suits no matter the climate.
Weird I live in Austin and the only people I ever see wearing wool suits are lawyers or people involved in state government. Everything else is Steve Jobs' world and we're living in it.
It'd be interesting to see if there are protests when the robotic trucks take their jobs. That's a lot of jobs.

In other news, In France, Hollande has fallen under the magical 30% approval rating, currently sitting on 29%. This is unfortunate, because at the same time, the far-right National Front are gaining traction by winning local elections.

Rep. John Lewis was also arrested at the immigration rally.



Accord to a spokesperson, this is the 45th time he's been arrested for protesting. As a member of Congress he was arrested twice protesting Apartheid and twice protesting the genocide in Darfur. The other 40 times where back during the civil rights movement when he was enduring poo poo like this (he's the man in the foreground, on the ground, in the light colored jacket):
