One Final Image Test

If this one doesn’t work, I will give up. My old method for images worked fine, so I can keep using that. The thing I am testing will help with other things.

Still Counting The Votes 12 March 2010
The NYT says that the Iraqi election is very close. Michael Hanna has more on the contest: Within Iraq’s parliamentary structure, the presidency was conceived as a largely ceremonial role, and its clearly-delineated substantive powers were transitory in nature. With the expiration of the tripartite Presidency Council, which is composed currently of a Kurd, […]

Eureka! I am a hammer 12 March 2010
Well, isn’t this flattering? The Times Online science blog, called Eureka Zone, picked Bad Astronomy as one of its top 30 best science blogs. It’s always nice to get some recognition, even if it doesn’t come with a wheelbarrow full of money and a free trip to Tahiti. You listening, Times Online? Just a suggestion. Anyway, I don’t agree with every single blog […]

11 (Extra) Special Collections in University Libraries 12 March 2010
University libraries are sometimes the beneficiary of someone’s collect works, or collected obsessions. After all, when a relative doesn’t have use for 400-year-old glass eyeballs, wouldn’t the local college take them? Mental_floss takes a look at eleven such strange “special collections” you can read or see at our institutions of higher learning. Yearning t […]

Shifting Into Neutral 12 March 2010
Fair warning: I haven't paid a ton of attention to the whole Toyota sudden acceleration thing, so maybe this has all been discussed to death. But I keep wondering what's really going on. If your engine is racing and you stand on the brakes, your car will stop. Right? Or, at the very least, it will certainly slow down a lot. And while I understand w […]

"So That Means You Love Each Other" Ctd 12 March 2010
A reader writes: In 1984 my daughter was in the second grade and outed us. How? It was Valentine's Day and she drew a big heart with an arrow through it that said, "Dad loves Ted". I still have it. P.S. Her teacher was *horrified* and told the school principle. Another teacher who had a gay son told me that my family was the subject of ridicul […]
