Chad Qualls- Never again. Stop trying to sabotage our wins every game. Everyone loves a comeback, but we don’t need you to establish a need for one.

Cliff Lee- Welcome back. Great pitching with 8 IP, 1 run, and 10 K’s. You’ll get your win soon enough.

Hunter Pence- That’s why you’re my favorite. Go eat. You deserve it with your two homers.

Jake Diekman- Welcome to the big leagues. Nice job.

Phillies- Let’s keep this streak going.

What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.

A rocket explorer named Wright
Once traveled much faster than light.
He sat out one day
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night.

Water tunnels are useful tools for determining aerodynamic characteristics of aircraft, such as this F-18 model placed in the NASA Dryden Flow Visualization Facility. By matching the Reynolds number of the model in the water tunnel to that of the full-scale aircraft in air, engineers can observe flow around the aircraft inside the laboratory. This similarity of flows is a powerful design tool. Here dye introduced along the nose, wings, and fuselage traces streamlines around the F-18, revealing areas of turbulence at different flight conditions.

revelation2220: Pictured is the Super-Kamiokande, a giant neutrino detector, buried 1000m underground in Japan. Usually filled with 50,000 tonnes of pure water, the observatory detects neutrinos by watching for interactions with the subatomic particles in the water. These interactions are extremely rare, which is why the detector needed to be built to the scale it is.
