OT for many montba bad there been anob a dangeroaa-looking flre aa Chief Bonner found when he raaohed the oorner of Bleeoker street and Broadway, ip New York City, on Election night, 1895. The flames were leaping across BlMoker atreet from the tinder-dry old Empire Bank on the aooth aide, and lieking np the window-frames in tha tall, new "flre-proof" Manhattan Saringa Inatitation bnllding on the northeatt oornef. Second and tbird alarms had been sent in by the fliWPbattation chief on hand, and these (be cantions chief toon followed with a fourth, and then a fifth. So the streets near the fire wer.e filled with apparatus. The noise of {wenty-aix steamers rose, like the purring ot a gigantio oat, over the roar of tha llamaa and the din of the aboatad orders, and afar off the siren of the New Yorker hooted ita ranoona warning to the crowding North River draft, aa tba big flra-boat raced np the river from bar bartb'at the Battery. It was early in the evening, and the great tide of tha curious waa just setting toward the newspaper offices in Frinli&g^onae Square to watch tha bnllatina of election returns. The olanging bella of tha hurrying engines warned the orowda that the bright light at Bleeekar atreet and Broadway same from no Eleetion-night bonfire, and (hey aurged after the firemen. The atreets filled up, and traffic was bloeked. Still the crowds came. Tha reservea from three police stations ware ordered out to help the men on post They forced back the eager spectatora and go( tha fire-lines suf- fioienUy ax(anded, so (bat tba firemen had plenty of room to work. And (hey needed room, \ strong ion(heaa( breece bea( the leaping Bamaa down, and drove (hem in level jeta of fire across Bleacker street and ftgainat the tall Manhattan building. Work aa they miaht, the firemen oonld not check the Bre. Chief Bon¬ ner saw (hat, in apite of the best his good men aould do, the flames were likely to take the Manhattan building, Calla went oat for special apparatus, aad than the alert operators, watch¬ ing la fire headquarters, heard the litUe wbaela of the register begin to bull, and listening intently, marked tha "two nines," the deiperate call tor help that Chief Bonner bad aent oat only once before in his career, Aa ioatant later the heavy gong in •vary atation-bonae in the city was hammering oat (he "two nines," and in tan leeonda every engine below Fifty-ninth street, not previously called out, had atarted for the fire, while part of that above Fifty-ninth «trea( narried down (o take station in aaat hoasea and radiatrict the city. It waa when the fire was at its worst that the crowd in Bleeoker street, well waat of Broadway, saw the wonderful raacne. Tha me9.,.ot half a dozen engines bad taken their hose up into the Man¬ hattan baildiug to fight the flames across (he street, bat in spite of them, tba flra got into the top floors of the building they were oecapying. So (hey bad to (urn their fight against tha flamaa above their own beads, and tha man of the iuaurance patrols be- gau to cover np everything lu the ailding with their big rubber blankets. Assistant Foreman Fitz- aimmons, of Engine Three, with half a doaen men of his oompauy, worked on (ha fifth floor of the Manhattan baildiag. They were so intent on the fight (bey were making in Bleeoker skae( (ba( tbey did not notice what waa going on over their heads nntil, with a graa( oraab, the seventh floor fell in at tba rear. It carried the rear of tba aixth floor down with it, and the rains tore down the stairway, carrying a doian men with them. Than Fitzsimmons saw that he was eat olC His hose-lines bad beeu broken by the wreck of the stairway, and ha-was helpless against thetlaiiies that flaw into tne room from the rear. lie ran to a window ou the Broad¬ way side, and shouted to some of his fellows in the street. Flames were Imrsting ont of the windows.behind bim on the Bleecker street side. Tha man in the strf et had beard of tha wreck in the stairway. Tbey had aaaa aoma flramen rau out into the awful beat and get away, and they had aeen one battalion chief carried oat ao badly injured that be wuald probably never respond to another alarm. They understootl what Kitz- aimmons's call meant. In a twinkling a great extenKioD ladder began crawling np the Broad- waT face of the Manhattan building. The crowd in Bleecker street saw that (ka fight for life had begun, and ba- eama aUeat with anxiety. The fire' «as near the men at the flttk-floor window whau the top of the laiia ladder earns in sight. One by oaa (hay went out Pitrsimmons waited for his men to go first; bat the laat waat tbroagh smoke and flame, and tha aaaiataul foreman knew that be coaid not follow. The men in the atraat had made a mistake. The lad- dar fead baaa ercatad (o (ka aa«tbarn- FitzsimmoDB ran to the window farthest north. The men in the street knew that before the big ladder conid be shifted the fire, working throngb the building, would have reached Fitzsimmonf. The crowd saw, too, and a deep, desperatb shout boomed oat above (be roar of the fire. Then the great ileed was done. On the flf(b floor of the building adjoin¬ ing the Manhattan building the men of (he Are, patrols One and Two were at work. Xbey heard the shont of the crowd, and looked ont of the window. In an instant they comprehended the peril of FitzsimmoDs. The building tbey were iu was oldei than thu Manhattan, and the floors were not ou the same level. Fitz- Simmons, at his window, was three oi fonr feet above tbem, and the Man¬ hattan building projected 8nt in front of their building almost a foot. The window-ledgo was too narrow to fnrnish footing, even for tbest steady-headed caen of conrage. Under Fitzsimmou's window was a ledge five inches wide. By this be .could reach (be oorner of his building if ha had anything with which to stead} himself; but after that—what? It took but a fraction of a second tc decide. Under their narrow ledge, and wired stoutly to it, the insurance patrolmen saw a huge siga that rnc across the face of the building. On' on that sign crawled John IXuih o: Patrol Two. Close behind, with hi.' arms clasping Bush by tbo legn anc steadying him, came James Barnett ot Patrol One. As they, inched aloo( the big sign, their mates followed each clasping the man ahead, anc each steadied by the man behind Thus the span of life was formed tha' reached at laat the corner of the Man hattan baildiug. The angry roar of the fire beUinc him grew steadily loader, but above i' Fitzsimmons heard the voice of Knst calling to him. Then he saw the hcac and iboulders of Rush appear arounc (he oorner of (he Manhattau building. Bush had risen to his feet, anc steadied by Harnett, crawled up tc (he ledge under Fitzsimmon's window. Fitzsimmons stood out ou the window-ledge, leaned forward, auc caught the ontslretched hand of Rush, Then began tha backward passage. Steadied by Barnett, Hush and Fitz¬ simmons reached the corner. Around the corner, down to the big, heav; sign, and slowly, along it, the brave fellows crawled. It seemed to the crowd in the street as if it would uevei be ended. Desperate fear was iu the watcheri lest the sign should uot bear the strain. If that gave way, no power could save Fitzsimmons and his mates from ter¬ rible death ou the flagging sixty feet below. But the sign hold. Man by man they reached the window. Bar¬ nett was in, Bush was in, and at last Fitzsimmons. For an instant the as¬ sistant foreman stood at the window and bared his bead. A roar, like the thunder of angry surf, rose np to him from the street. Then a long, hungry, fed tongue thrust out of the window he had just left, curled around the corner of the Manhattan buildiug, and lapped at the sign that had bridged his way to life, —Oscar King Davis, in Youth's Com¬ panion. PORTO RICAN FOODS. One distinctive feature of the Porto Bioau diet is the great amount of meata and rich sauces served. At every one of the principal meals two or three kinds of meats and flsU are served. As there are no ice boxes and in most places no ice, the meat must be of animals killed uot more than twelve hours before tha meal. Of fish, the favorite kind, especially in the country districts, is codfish, imported from Spain or Canada. Oysters there are selling at fifteen cents a dozen, but they are scarcely larger than a thnmb nail. Aa for vegetables, besides the na¬ tive products, American canned goods are used to aome extant, and would be used far more were the prices less exorbitant. J^n their stead recourse ia had to (he thousand and one fruits of the island, and these are prepared in aa many diETerent ways. The prin¬ cipal fruit is the banana, of .which there are two difTeront hinds, large ones, called platauos or plantains, and used for cooking only, and smaller ones, whose many subdivisions, in¬ cluding the kind sold in Baltimore, are known under variouB names. The size of the bananas ranges from one and a half inches to one and a third feet, and the taste and flavor varyiug as mnoh as the sizes. They are pre¬ pared in many ways—roasted, fried, boiled, atewed and as ingredients of numerous di^ihes. A numhor uf our fruits, such as pears and peaches, nrc nuknown. Apples there are but few, selling at five cents each. To ns ap¬ ples and the many dishes to which they give rise are such matter-of-fact things that I was quite surprised at first at the astonishment of the ladies when they heard that apples could be ' fried and stewed "like banauas!" ; Among the many things Spain sent i to her colony was her typical ptrain, ¦ the garbaozo, a licau a little larger I than the pea. It is used very ex- I tanaively, as are also white aud red beans. Rice, also a staple article of | food, is consumej;) iu enormous quao- j titles. In fact, no. meat is complete i without beans and rice, and they are served as regularly its braad. The rice is boiled and slcamed, so thai [ each grain will Ktaud apart fruui its neighbors.

The Lovers' Curfew. It has remained for a Cleveland ¦fudge to fix the hour at which a lover's evening call should end. Judge Fiedler, in answer to the query of an anxious father, handed down from tbe bench his opiniou that 11 o'clock is the proper time for eveuing s^rarking to cease. If we take it for granted that this is standard time the latitude of tbe Judge cannot help but meet with commendation, even from the most liberal thinkers oil the subject. From 8 o'clock, say, antil 11, stauvlard, or 11.30, sun, is certainly ample time for a single sitting of tbe character referred to by the Jndge, aud in well- regulated households this time-table should be prominently displayed, or at least under^stood.

I'm Dawn's husband, Kevin. For over 20 years, I've been the winner. Dawn puts so much into her cooking and loves putting new dishes in front of us all the time. The Carmel Macchiato Cheesecake is another in a long line of great recipes Dawn has come up with. It's the best desert I've had and, thanks to Dawn, I've had a lot of great deserts!
I found this to be sickly sweet, as did most of my guests. It could easily serve 16, as the serving size has to be tiny in order for it to be edible. Maybe I went wrong somewhere...

The first time I made this recipe, I overbeat it and didn't use a waterbath. The cheesecake rose while baking, then fell and cracked. It was the ugliest thing I'd ever made! I ended up cutting off the high edges to make it level, then covered the top with a chocolate ganache. Everyone loved it! I've made it two times since and it has turned out beautifully each time. Don't overbeat your cheesecake, and bake it in a water bath (see instructions on baking a cheesecake). The ganache is still a nice complement--scald a cup of heavy cream, then pour it over 1 1/2 cups of chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 5 mins, then stir until melted. Add 1 tsp. of vanilla, stir, and pour /spread on top of cheesecake.
This cheesecake was absolutely incredible! I went to Starbucks and asked for a quadruple shot of espresso, used 1/4 cup for the recipe, then froze the rest in an ice cube tray to use for iced mochas. I baked it in a water bath, and when the hour was up, I turned off the oven and left the cheescake in the oven to cool for a few hours. Absolutely no cracks! I made it a couple of days ahead so the flavors had time to mature, and served it with drizzled caramel and whipped cream, just like in the picture.
If you love chocolate, make a mocha cheesecake with the addition 8 ounces of melted semisweet chocolate stirred into the cheesecake mixture! Heavenly!
This was wonderful... I made homemade caramel sauce- used approximately 1/4 cup in the batter by fillign the crust half way with the batter then dropping in large drops of the caramel sauce. i then took a butter knife and swirled the drop throughout the batter. I repeated this again after adding the remainder of the batter to the shell. I love Starbucks Caramel macchiatos and this sure did take care of my Starbucks fix for the day.
Creamy and smooth, and absolutely decadent with homemade caramel. Make sure to bake the cheesecake in a water bath for that perfect texture. If you can manage not to eat it all at once, the individual slices freeze and defrost really nicely -- just make sure they're wrapped really well in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing. 30-60 minutes out of the freezer, and a divine treat without all the prep!
Wow! If you love cheesecake and you love caramel and coffee flavors then this cheesecake is for you! I mean this is one fabulous dessert! It just doesn't get much better than this. There's just enough coffee flavor in here so it's not overpowering and just subtle enough to really come through and compliment the caramel topping. The richness and creaminess of the cheesecake is well...as one of my guests put it "to die for". I always bring my ingredients to room temperature before mixing and don't overbeat - plus do a waterbath to avoid cracks. I topped it with homemade whipped cream and it was beyond delicious! Thanks for a great recipe Dawn!

Racing is as much a part of Corvette DNA as the V-8 or the crossed-flags emblem. During the '80s, that was good news for Corvette, not so good for competitors who were becoming experts on Corvette taillights. In most every class, the only real race was between Corvettes up front and the back-of-the-packers dicing for leftovers. From the promoter's perspective, runaways demand correction as they are kryptonite to ticket sales. With the C4 on top of the racing world, the SCCA faced a situation.
"In the late '80s, Corvettes were dominating everything when they raced in SCCA," says Lance Miller, senior manager of Carlisle Events, and son of Carlisle's Chip Miller. "Lotus, Porsche, all the other competitors were complaining to the point that they threatened to pull out."
The solution came from John Powell, a journeyman racer, team owner, and organizer. Since the Corvettes were in a class by themselves anyway, John's proposal was to set up a separate class for Corvettes only, have Chevrolet build a special package, prep the cars for the top performance, and have them race for the largest purse ever seen at this level of racing.
Everybody seemed to like the idea. It relieved a big headache for SCCA, gave GM a high-profile venue to showcase its flagship sports car, offered a competitive triple-A series for up-and-coming drivers to demonstrate their talents, and provided sponsors with plenty of stylish, bright-colored bodywork to paste their decals on.
The inaugural season was 1988. Chevrolet came up with 56 identically built coupes, painted in any of seven colors, and spec'd out with the 245hp Cross-Fire 5.7 V-8. Chevrolet built the engines identically, but selected engines that were equivalent in output, sealed them up, and shipped them from the Flint engine plant to the Corvette plant in Bowling Green. Other equipment included:
* Doug Nash 4+3 manual transmission
* Z51 Performance Handling package
* AC3 Six-Way Power Driver Seat
* UU8 Delco-Bose Stereo
* Z6A Side Window and Side Mirror Defog
* 24S Blue-Tint Glass Removable Roof Panel
For this option package, Chevrolet issued the package code B9P.
Next stop for the Challenge cars was the Protofab shop in Wixom, Michigan, where they installed rollbars, racing seats, an on-board fire extinguisher, a set of Bilstein shocks, and four Dymag wheels. Six cars built for the Corvette Challenge did not receive this conversion.
Pricing was $33,043 for the B9P car, and an additional $15,000 for Protofab's additions.
Exxon signed on as a major sponsor, and at season's end, a Corvette won! Stu Hayner was the '88 Corvette Challenge Champion. The Corvette Challenge had a huge impact and attracted a wealth of driving talent, such as Andy Pilgrim, Scott Lagasse, John Greenwood, and Boris Said, to name but a few.
For 1989, the wave of success continued. Chevrolet built 60 Corvette Challenge cars under code R7F, but the car got a ZF six-speed manual transmission. The schedule was expanded to 12 races.

"Where do we take it from here?'' sings Vikki Thorn on "Day Dreamer," one of the most uplifting moments on The Waifs' extraordinary sixth album, Temptation, in store April 26th from Compass Records.
It's a question the much-loved Australian band has asked itself several times in the 19 years since Thorn, her sister Donna Simpson and guitarist Josh Cunningham set off on their incredible journey.
A trip that began in a van in 1992, with the three troubadours playing gigs anywhere in Australia that would have them, has led The Waifs to multiple ARIA awards, platinum albums and successful tours across the world. The hard yards in those early days paid off in terms of their career, but also bound the three of them together as friends.
Josh, Donna and Vikki have all moved on in their personal lives since those formative years, whether through relationships, having children or relocating to different parts of the world, yet The Waifs' journey continues. That ever-evolving trip, and the bond that has developed between them, is very much central to the emotion, sentiment and spirituality of the 11 songs on Temptation.
The title track, for example, which has been on the band's live set list for a few years, is a rousing, gospel-tinged ballad, one of three Cunningham contributions to the album. All three songs are inspired by his recent embrace of religion, "I can only write about things that are close to my heart, that are real to me,'' says Cunningham. "To find faith ... that's a pretty powerful experience for a person to go through.''
Then there's "Buffalo", a beautifully stark and melancholy song by Thorn that allows the strength and subtlety of her voice to shine through. In contrast, but still embracing those familiar, rootsy Waifs characteristics is the first single, "Falling", an effervescent few minutes of country pop that highlights the sultry voice and songwriting skills of Simpson.
Temptation is the follow-up to 2006's Sun, Dirt, Water, which the band recorded in Nashville and which reached No.2 in the ARIA album charts. That album represented a natural progression for The Waifs, one on which they expanded and experimented with their sound.
Temptation sees them stripping back, returning to their roots and playing an assortment of acoustic and electric instruments, joined once again by the established rhythm section of drummer David Ross Macdonald and bassist Ben Franz.
There's also a re-shaping of songwriting input this time. While the bulk of the material for Sun, Dirt, Water came from Cunningham, on Temptation the songs are more equally spread.
For Simpson, who wrote seven of the songs on the band's classic multi platinum, 2003 album Up All Night, it was an opportunity to approach a part of her craft she'd been neglecting for several years. She rose to the challenge, penning four songs, including the infectious opening track, the raw, shuffling blues "I Learn the Hard Way".
Temptation was recorded in November last year at Underwood Studios, a ramshackle old house-turned-studio in Simpson's adopted home city of St Paul, Minneapolis. There's an almost tangible chemistry at work; an irresistible groove. As Thorn says, it sounds like a band that has been playing together for a long time. "That's how it felt in there,'' she says.
All five musicians lived together for two weeks above the basement studio, cooking, reminiscing and finessing each of the songs that had been brought to the table. "You just went downstairs when it was your turn to do a take,'' says Cunningham. "It was a great atmosphere to make an album in and I think you can hear that on the recordings.''
What contributed to the atmosphere was that for the participants it was a reunion as much as it was work. While Simpson and her young son call St Paul home, Thorn is based in Utah with her husband and two (soon to be three) children, while Cunningham, who got married in January, has lived in California since 2009. Macdonald flew in from his home in Canada and Franz from Australia. "It was the most enjoyable experience of recording with the band I have ever had,'' says Simpson. "I'm so proud of the record and I've never said that before.''
Not that she shouldn't be proud of what The Waifs have achieved over the past 19 years, all of it as independent artists. The sisters left their home in Albany, Western Australia in 1992 as the duo Colours. They met Cunningham in Broome, WA and became The Waifs.
The group forged their way on the Australian live circuit for most the 1990s, releasing albums such as their self titled debut in 1996 and Shelter Me in 1998, selling them mostly at shows. The third album, 2000's Sink or Swim, raised their profile and allowed the band to perform in Canada and the United States, attracting rave reviews in the process.
The biggest turning point came with the EP London Still (2002), which gave the band its first Australian hit. Followed in 2003 by the Lighthouse EP and the album Up All Night, which has gone double platinum in Australia and earned them four ARIA awards. That same year they toured Australia with Bob Dylan, who subsequently invited them to join him on his North American tour.
Further hits, such as "Bridal Train" and "Stay", have followed, along with live albums, more awards and ecstatic reviews for their live performances. With a national tour under way from February 22 and the album release to follow on March 4, there is every sign that 2011 will bring them further success.
There's a wealth of great new songs on Temptation to help that process along, such as Cunningham's "Moses and The Lamb", a seven-minute delight that starts off like a southern church sermon, complete with pump organ and banjo, before evolving into a blustering country-blues complete with three-part harmonies, Thorn's spiky harmonica and driven by Macdonald's rumbling toms.
The beautifully atmospheric "Drifting Dreaming" allows the sisters' voices to gently connect and feed off of each other.
On "Some Days", Thorn lets her melancholy run riot on a strutting, folky lament with a twist "I got a man and a family that loves me/Sometimes I have to ask myself what the hell it's all for''. In that same vein, the delicately funky Beautiful Night is about finding time to reflect with the ones you love.
That, it could be said, is what Temptation is all about - a band that has been on an amazing journey, through good times and bad, that has come together for the love of music and each other. "We're a family and we love playing music with each other and over the years I think we've contributed something ... made a difference,'' says Cunningham. "We've made simple songs that resonate with everyday people. That's all we can do. There's value in keeping that going.''
Let's hope they keep it going for some time yet.

While Ruth Morgan's visit to Starkville's Church of the Living God was meant for gathering old photographs of the Do-Right Church in the Needmore Community, her search led to a surprising revelation and veritable historical jackpot.
Morgan's historical find came in the form of Elon Walker, a former Starkville resident who played for the Memphis Red Sox baseball team in the Negro Baseball League during the 1950s. From 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Feb. 23, the Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum will open for an exhibit viewing on Walker and Starkville-native baseball hall of fame player James "Cool Papa" Bell in honor of Black History Month.
Morgan said after speaking with Walker's half-brother C.L. Carlisle — a current Starkville resident — she contacted Raymond Doswell, Vice President of Curatorial Services for the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Mo. to reveal her fascinating find.
"He told me how rare it was to find any information during this time period conceding the Negro Baseball League and thought it was wonderful that we discovered all the original documentation on Elon's time with them," she said. "He said if I sent him the documents and photographs that we had the museum would begin building a profile on him."
With the Negro Baseball Leagues dissolving by 1958, Morgan said she is excited to have found out about Walker and his place during this time in American sports history.
"It's extremely rare information that you cannot come across according to the museum," she said. "When you find something like this you feel very interested in trying to resolve some of this lost history."
Walker's display includes everything from personal letters and photographs, glove, baseball, bat and his entire uniform still intact, a valuable commodity for sports history enthusiasts.
Museum board member Bill Poe said another interesting fact surrounding Walker's time playing for the Memphis Red Sox was his team member who would go on to make a name for himself in the recording industry.
"It was cool to find out about Elon playing alongside Charley Pride," he said. "That is such a special connection and we have sent him copies of Elon's information and what we have. We are hoping Charley can come down and see the museum and everything associated with our information on the Negro Baseball League."
After retiring from baseball in 1958, Pride went on to become the best-selling performer for RCA Records since Elvis Presley during the early-to-mid 1970s as a country music artist. The museum now has a personal letter correspondence from Pride to Walker.
The museum's exhibit showing for Black History Month also features a tribute to James "Cool Papa" Bell who was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974.
Poe said Bell — born in Starkville in 1903 — was instrumental in helping out another very famous African American player during his time.
"What's unique about 'Cool Papa' is that he helped Jackie Robinson learn how to play who he could be the first African American to break the sport's race barrier," he said. "It is highly significant that Bell, who was offered that position first, directed those teams to Robinson and said, 'This is the man you want.'"
Poe said the exhibit can be enjoyed about a wide variety of people looking for history on sports, Starkville and everyone in between.
"For its size, Starkville is unique for the fact that we have three hall of fame players in three different sports who claim this as home — Bell, Jerry Rice and Bailey Howell," he said. "And now that we have learned about Elon Walker, it is fascinating to know that Oktibbeha County boasts to players who participated in the historic Negro Baseball Leagues."
The museum's display of Elon Walker and James "Cool Papa" Bell will be open for a special viewing Saturday, Feb. 23 from 10 a.m. to noon.

Homecoming also is a time to give back to the SLU community. Throughout Homecoming week, Alumni Relations will be hosting its "Stock the Pantry" service project to benefit the Campus Kitchen. All Homecoming attendants are encouraged to donate a non-perishable food item at the drop-off location near the Merchandise Tent located on the Quadrangle near Pius XII Memorial Library or room 351 of DuBourg Hall.

Twenty years ago, a small team of IBM engineers from the IBM PC company's advanced technology group in Boca Raton was assembled to create a new mobile device that combined a computer with a cell phone. It was called a personal communicator – we know it today as a smart phone. The team was given a very short deadline – less than four months. A true skunkworks project, they were freed from IBM's normal product development processes. Even so, they were hard-pressed to meet the deadline, working 80 hours weeks. Somehow they made it, and the prototype debuted at Comdex that fall. The operational prototype, innovatively called the IBM Personal Communicator, was large and heavy – a first iteration of a new technology that embodied many technical compromises. But it worked, and was the hit of the show. Industry representatives lined up three deep to see it, and it made the front page of the next morning's USA Today Money Section. The enthusiastic reception convinced IBM to turn the device into a product, which was marketed by Bell South in 1993 as the IBM Simon – the world's first smart phone.
The December 2012 theme for The Greater IBM Connection is 'corporate history', and Paul Lasewicz, IBM Corporate Archivist, will be sharing with us some of the highlights from IBM's history.

|Visit CERN, I was wondering if people are interested in visiting the European Organization for Nuclear Research in the weekend. (Leaving sat morning, back on sunday morning). We will try to find the most efficient and cheapest solution. This way everyone can join us :)
|Firemonkey, @j_somers, Kjell, TomD
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world's largest and most respected centers for scientific research. Its business is fundamental physics, finding out what the Universe is made of and how it works. At CERN, the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments are used to study the basic constituents of matter — the fundamental particles. By studying what happens when these particles collide, physicists learn about the laws of Nature.
The instruments used at CERN are particle accelerators and detectors. Accelerators boost beams of particles to high energies before they are made to collide with each other or with stationary targets. Detectors observe and record the results of these collisions.
