The best part is that American troops will be greeted by the locals as liberators

Bush to Cuba: Regime change has to work somewhere.

Cuba to Bush: We're still fuzzy on how to get our newspaper reporters not to sound like government shills. Any advice?

[l'esprit d'escalier: What I should have called the second one was "Castro still hasn't read Orwell's Politics and the English Language.]

Sleep Apnea

I wonder how many people are using folk medicine to treat the symptoms of sleep apnea rather than some effective method of dealing with the cause of the symptoms?

Backward Spinning Earth, Mapping Asteroids, the Geology of Titan and a Possible Rogue Planet

Darin Ragozzine reports on Division for Planetary Sciences meeting in Orlando

It's odd that I've recently run across two different models that involve a Mars-massed planet getting ejected from the Trans-Mars part of the solar system: Patryk Lykawka has a model where one formed between the gas giants (but which gas giants?) and John Chambers and Jack Lissauer have a model where a superficially similar world formed between Mars and the current Main Belt.

Nuclear power worldwide: status and outlook

The IAEA makes two annual projections concerning the growth of nuclear power, a low and a high. The low projection assumes that all nuclear capacity that is currently under construction or firmly in the development pipeline gets completed and attached to the grid, but no other capacity is added. In this low projection, there would be growth in capacity from 370 GW(e) at the end of 2006 to 447 GW(e) in 2030. (A gigawatt = 1000 megawatts = 1 billion watts)

In the IAEA's high projection -- which adds in additional reasonable and promising projects and plans -- global nuclear capacity is estimated to rise to 679 GW(e) in 2030. That would be an average growth rate of about 2.5%/yr.
