THE INJUSTICE COLLECTOR -- New Yorker

Thought this article on Joyce's estate and how its supressing scholarship through copyright was very interesting. It has some very funny quotes (some of them below).

THE INJUSTICE COLLECTOR

by D. T. MAX

Is James Joyce’s grandson suppressing scholarship?

Issue of 2006-06-19
Posted 2006-06-12
June 16th marks the hundred-and-second anniversary of Bloomsday, the date on which the events in James Joyce’s “Ulysses” take place. There will be the customary commemorative celebrations surrounding Leopold Bloom’s famous walk through Dublin: public readings and festivals in cities around the world, including Dublin, New York, Berlin, Paris, St. Petersburg, and Melbourne. In Budapest, two hundred or so academics will convene a Joyce symposium—the twentieth to be held on Bloomsday....
Academics, he declared, were like “rats and lice—they should be exterminated!”....

Stephen was funny and playful on the phone, although a subtext of anger was often evident. Acknowledging his pugnacity, he said, “It is better to be pissed off than pissed on.”

Water and life: seeking the solution -- Nature

Thought this was an interesting snippet. Wonder whether a continuous range of bond angles in water were tried about a mean of 104.5 deg. Might be useful to try with protein geometry.

Water and life: seeking the solution.
Ball P.
Is there any fundamental reason to be fixated on water as the universal elixir of life? Philip Ball investigates.
Where there's water, there's life. That, at least, is what our experience on Earth has taught us, and when it comes to searching for life on other worlds, NASA seems determined to follow the water. But is it right to see water as the sole medium for extraterrestrial life?

Physical Culture; A Personal Trainer, Right in Your iPod
January 19, 2006, Thursday
By CATHERINE SAINT LOUIS (NYT)
WHEN Suganthi Balasubramanian started exercising after three decades of inactivity, she found her effort worthwhile but monotonous. Like a child forced to swallow bitter medicine, she followed workout videotapes she didn't enjoy, only because they were good for her. She bought a treadmill but couldn't make herself use it....

More Pie, Mr. President? + Our National Eating Disorder -- NY Times

Thought these two articles about the Amerian Diet were quite interesting...

More Pie, Mr. President?
By JACK HITT
Published: October 17, 2004
Good political food -- it should be obvious -- must be democratic. The barbecue, the clambake, the chili contest, the fish fry, the hamburger cookout, the pancake social, the fried-chicken potluck, the spaghetti dinner -- these are the great entrees of American politics precisely because almost anyone can cook them and pretty much everybody likes them. Sure, the exact recipes differ from place to place, like accents, but that's the point. Political food contains the core contradiction of America, our profound differences and essential sameness all on one plate. Nothing puts a politician more at ease than being able to sing our national unity and diversity at the same time. And what says E Pluribus Unum as literally and zestily as a bowl of four-alarm chili? ....

Our National Eating Disorder
By MICHAEL POLLAN
Published: October 17, 2004
Carbophobia, the most recent in the centurylong series of food fads to wash over the American table, seems to have finally crested, though not before sweeping away entire bakeries and pasta companies in its path, panicking potato breeders into redesigning the spud, crumbling whole doughnut empires and, at least to my way of thinking, ruining an untold number of meals. America's food industry, more than happy to get behind any new diet as long as it doesn't actually involve eating less food, is still gung-ho on Low Carb, it's true, but in the last few weeks, I can report some modest success securing a crust of bread, and even the occasional noodle, at tables from which such staples were banned only a few months ago.
