The book which the reader has before him at this moment is, from one end to the other, in its entirety and details ... a progress from evil to good, from injustice to justice, from falsehood to truth, from night to day, from appetite to conscience, from corruption to life; from bestiality to duty, from hell to heaven, from nothingness to God. The starting point: matter, destination: the soul. The hydra at the beginning, the angel at the end. - Victor Hugo on Les Mis. #mylatestobsession

Great quote: Sarah Palin is to modern Republicans what Richard Nixon was to Republicans of the 60s. (Contd) http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2013/01/goodbye-sarah-well-miss-you-sort
Sarah Palin is to modern Republicans what Richard Nixon was to Republicans of the 60s. The resentment that Nixon tapped so brilliantly reached its peak under Ronald Reagan and then degenerated steadily over time. The downward path led through Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Roger Ailes, and freedom fries, finally reaching its debased apotheosis in Sarah Palin and the tea party. With her gone, it might be a sign that the long, twilight success of Nixonland as a political strategy is finally starting to fade.

Russian Spring? Sarah Palin vows to fight on without Fox News gig http://bit.ly/WGytQT
Sarah Palin has parted ways with Fox News, but says, "we haven't begun to fight!" even though polls show declining support for the tea party movement. In particular, she promises to "shake up the GOP machine."
The "lamestream media," as Sarah Palin calls it, may have written her off now that the former vice presidential candidate and tea party favorite has lost her principal media voice as a well-paid commentator on Fox News.
But there's no indication that Ms. Palin will go back to life in Alaska as the former mayor of a small town and then governor for two years, fishing and hunting with her family before Sen. John McCain picked her out of relative political obscurity to be his running mate in 2008...

But CERN's making progress:the Standard Model of particle physics describes only 5 percent of the universe http://bit.ly/X51Ax8
Physicists at Large Hadron Collider to decide whether newly discovered particle is The One
DAVOS, Switzerland — The world should know with certainty by the middle of this year whether a subatomic particle discovered by scientists is a long-sought Higgs boson, the head of the world's largest atom smasher says.
Rolf Heuer, director of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, said he is confident that "towards the middle of the year, we will be there." By then, he said reams of data from the $10 billion Large Hadron Collider on the Swiss-French border near Geneva should have been assessed.
The timing could also help Scottish physicist Peter Higgs win a Nobel Prize, Heuer said in an interview with The Associated Press in the Swiss resort of Davos on Saturday.
CERN's atom smasher helped scientists declare in July their discovery of a new subatomic particle that Heuer calls "very, very like" a Higgs boson, that promises a new realm of understanding the universe.
The machine, which has been creating high-energy collisions of protons to investigate dark matter, antimatter and the creation of the universe, is being put to rest early this year. The data from it, however, takes longer to analyze.
"Suppose the Higgs boson is a special snowflake. So you have to identify the snowflake, in a big snowstorm, in front of a background of snowfields," Heuer said by way of analogy. "That is very difficult. You need a tremendous amount of snowfall in order to identify the snowflakes and this is why it takes time."
He said the Standard Model of particle physics describes only 5 percent of the universe, which many theorize occurred in a massive explosion known as the Big Bang.
To explain how subatomic particles, such as electrons, protons and neutrons, were themselves formed, Higgs and others in the 1960s envisioned an energy field where particles interact with a key particle, the Higgs boson.
The idea was that other particles interact with Higgs bosons, and the more they interact, the bigger their mass will be. But a big question remains: Is this new particle a variation of the Higgs boson, or the same as the single Higgs boson that was predicted?
The phrase "God particle," coined by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman, is used by laymen, not physicists, more as an explanation for how the subatomic universe works than how it all started.
"Now, if there is a deviation in one of the properties of this Higgs boson, that means we open a new window, for example, hopefully into the part of the dark universe, the 95 percent of the unknown universe," said Heuer.

CNET: Is your hotel trying to choke you with an iPhone app?
In an effort to save money (and annoy guests), hotels are preventing you from making your hotel room cold. And it's all controlled by a little iPhone app.
Some like it cold.
It's not everyone's idea of comfort, but sitting in a cool hotel room - especially when it's hot outside - can offer a certain pleasure. At least for me.
It's a pleasure that a certain group of people want to deny me. They're called hotel owners.
Hotel owners, it seems, are rather fonder of making a cool profit.
It's bad enough when the room has no windows you can open. However, an ever-increasing trend is for hotels to restrict how cold you can make your room temperature.
You click furiously on the thermostat's "down" arrow and it makes like a prison guard.
Recently, I stayed in a hotel where it was verboten to have less than 67 degrees in your room.
To me, 67 degrees is balmy and barmy. So I called the front desk and wondered whether an engineer might help me in my unreasonable quest to choose the temperature in my room.
When he arrived he took one look and said: "Yes, 67 degrees. That's the hotel policy."...

Bravo: Guardian.co.uk: Canadian woman makes history as first gay province leader
Kathleen Wynne's successful bid to become Ontario premier means country's four most powerful provinces are female-led
Ontario's Liberals have chosen a former cabinet minister to become the province's first female premier and first openly gay leader of a Canadian province.
In her acceptance speech as the new provincial Liberal party leader, Kathleen Wynne, 59, a former Ontario education minister, thanked her partner, Jane, for her support during a three-month campaign. Ontario was one of the first Canadian provinces to allow same-sex marriage.
Wynne's victory means Canada's four most powerful provinces will all be led by women. British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec already have female premiers. Women are also at the helm in the Atlantic province of Newfoundland and Labrador and in the thinly populated Arctic territory of Nunavut.
Wynne replaces Dalton McGuinty, who said in October he was stepping down as party leader and premier, amid controversy over costly cancellations of two natural gas power plants and battles with teachers over provincial plans to freeze wages.
The centre-left Liberals have been in power for nine years in Ontario, which is Canada's most populous province. It is also home to most of the country's banks and a large part of its manufacturing sector. But the party lost seats in the 2011 provincial election and needs support from at least one other party to stay in power.
The left-leaning New Democrats are the natural ally for Wynne, who has a reputation for seeking compromise and is viewed as being to the left of other Ontario Liberals.
In her address to the party faithful, she invited leaders from both opposition parties to work with her to advance the interests of Ontario communities. "But make no mistake. If that stops working, I will fight them for every seat, for every poll, for every vote in the next election," she said.
The Liberals are facing a C$12bn (£7.5bn) budget deficit. They have vowed to curb growth in spending, as modest economic growth hurts revenues, and say it will take five more years to balance the budget.
Ontario accounts for roughly 40%of Canadian gross domestic product and is among the largest sub-national borrowers in the world, issuing bonds worth nearly C$35bn in 2012.
