This is going to be a very difficult blog for me to write. I know some readers will be angry - mostly because they will read into it things I never said. It's not their fault. It's a natural way us humans think. Not our fault. Instead of understanding what we read, we tend to react to it - commonly without understanding what it was that was said. So please bear with me. On radio, I once had a great argument with a journalist who believed that Hitler was a socialist. His party was, after all, the National Socialist Party. In fact, his major supporters were big business in Germany a... more »

Where are those Public Accounts? Delay should worry Liberals
The Liberals should be getting nervous about the long delay in releasing the Public Accounts and the Auditor General's review of government finances.

He claimed a $2.8 billion surplus, $1.3 billion higher than budgeted. (Showing the Liberals mean-spirited election platform was a matter of ideology, not economics.)

T2K: a two-sigma evidence supporting CP-violation in neutrino sector
Let me write a short blog post by a linker, not a thinker: T2K presents hint of CP violation by neutrinos The strange acronym T2K stands for Tokai to Kamioka. So the T2K experiment is located in Japan but the collaboration is heavily multi-national. It works much like the older K2K, KEK to Kamioka. Indeed, it's no coincidence that Kamioka sounds like Kamiokande. Average Japanese people probably tend to know the former, average physicists tend to know the latter. ;-) Dear physicists, Kamiokande was named after Kamioka, not vice versa! ;-) Muon neutrinos are created at the source. ... more »
