“To make yourself, it is also necessary to destroy yourself.”

VOSS is an account of an epic physical and spiritual journey across the outback—by the only Australian writer to win the Nobel Prize.
In this sand-pile world, a small group of terrorists armed with box cutters can inflict a terrible blow on a superpower — as Al Qaeda did on 9/11, just as bands of insurgents in Iraq managed to keep the mighty United States military at bay for three long years.
“In a way, it’s like a rebirth,” said Nathan Leventhal, who was president of Lincoln Center from 1984 to 2000. Martin Segal, a chairman emeritus of Lincoln Center, said that the campus’s being a work in progress does not detract from the aura of celebration. “You can’t build a project that requires construction without having the construction,” he said.
His death at the Methodist Hospital was announced by the hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, where Dr. DeBakey was chancellor emeritus.
Among the big-budget items on the table, Dr. Zhang said, are a giant
500-meter-diameter radio telescope in China's outback to study
microwaves from the Big Bang and a multinational particle-physics
project, known as the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment to study
the ghostly elementary particles known as neutrinos.
To keep track of all this activity, the United States National Science
Foundation opened an office in Beijing last month. The foundation
noted that China had gone from fourth in the world to third in
research and development expenditures from 2000 to 2006.
Remembering physicist Jack Steinberger who has passed away aged 99.
As a teen Steinberger and his Jewish family left their home in Germany to set up a new life in the US just before the Second World War began. Steinberger later studied under Enrico Fermi before carrying out the research that would be awarded the Nobel Prize.
He was awarded the 1988 Physics Prize alongside Leon Lederman and Melvin Schwartz after managing to create a beam of neutrinos using a high-energy accelerator and subsequently proving the existence of a new type of neutrino, the muon neutrino.
