Thousands evacuated as deadly floods swamp Europe
Mon Jun 3, 2013
- Odd that Andy and John didn't translate "400 liters per square meter" into inches of rain for US audiences. Or not so odd, maybe. Like most Americans, they can't do arithmetic. That figure for rain translates to about 15 inches of rain. That's a LOT - even by Houston standards!
How and why to teach your kids to code
Sat Jun 1, 2013
- As a learning tool, it's marvelous - almost like learning to read and write. One caution: earning a living coding is like earning a living writing. Can be done, certainly - thousands do.

Seven injured in Missouri as trains collide, trigger highway bridge collapse
Sat May 25, 2013
- To rephrase a quote from May 31st, 1916: "I say, Chatfield, these seems to be something wrong with our bridges today." Two bridges in two days is a bit excessive......
Are 'lone wolf' attacks the new path to terror?
Fri May 24, 2013
- A sad situation. If Islam is not a religion of terror, as some may believe (and some of the verses lend credence to this), it is, unfortunately, the religion of many terrorists.

New rocket fuel aims to help NASA 'go green'
Thu May 16, 2013
- Interesting. They don't mention that it's potentially unstable, and has caused explosions. With even moderate care, these may be avoided - but it's not quite talcum powder. It also contains quite a bit of nitrogen, and the exhaust gases will contain nitrogen (mostly), but there will be some nitrogen …

Thu May 9, 2013

Family of mom who was missing for 11 years has no plans to reunite with her
Fri May 3, 2013
- It's just sad. She cracked - under pressure. Not sure what her problems were, but they were there. None of you been under extreme stress, don't know what to do, where to turn? No winners here. Just be glad it wasn't you.
