One week ago yesterday, the Large Hadron Collider had it's first test. Below is a link to two webcams located at CERN, the home of the Large Hadron Collider: http://www.cyriak.co.uk/lhc/lhc-webcams.html Isn't technology wonderful? Now all those conCERN trolls can keep an eye on things themselves... This is an Open Thread.

Hat-tip Dupa.

.... France and Switzerland gone, then. Palin didn't blink. I must admit that I hadn't realised that they were on McCain's list of unfriendly countries. Did he get confused and think one of them was Spain?

It's not like they can see 'em from their homes or anything. And you know how that old saying goes -- "out of sight, out of mind." They're both out of their minds, and anything that isn't directly in their line of sight doesn't exist in their worldview.

Jim Wasserman/sacbee: Mortgage rates dive, aiding refinancers:
Jennifer Panganiban watched the charts all year, from the January lows through the highs of July. A week ago she and her husband pounced, locking in a 30-year mortgage at 5.875 percent.
One small step at a time out here. The bottom is holding now, even with foreclosures.

Dang Welshman...

Amidst historic economic failures, Bill Moyers Journal takes an in-depth look at what led to the financial meltdown, what it means for American families, and how it will affect voters between now and November. * Bill Moyers sits down with former Nixon White House strategist and political and economic critic Kevin Phillips, whose latest book BAD MONEY: RECKLESS FINANCE, FAILED POLITICS, AND THE GLOBAL CRISIS OF AMERICAN CAPITALISM explores the role that the crumbling financial sector played in the now-fragile American economy. * And, Moyers speaks with NEW YORK TIMES business and financial columnists Gretchen Morgenson and Floyd Norris to discuss who wins and who loses in the financial turmoil. check local listings or watch it after it airs on his PBS site. Do We Need Change, You're Damn Right We Do, And The World Needs Us To Change, Now!!
