Large Hadron Collider - Circus

CERN's control room


Yep, there is nobody at CERN's office. Is weekend, isn't for all ?! Those engineers get famous even by not doing anything. Maybe that's the reason for being hacked, because they look smart and when someone is smart, there will always be someone who will try to be smarter. Maybe 'The Greek Security Team' thought that they are smarter. They managed to mess up the LHC website, displaying warnings and other things which would make the site's administrator to be ashamed, but after all the world have found about it, who cares ?! As long as their damn little particle goes with the lightspeed, the website can go to funny jokes.
Seriously now, there is a side effect on this story; for sure some people (and journalists also) will understand that a hacker team have the Large Hadron Collider in their hands and will do something wrong with the blackholes.
In this endless story about CERN, LHC and particle collision there is something that has to be over all the news and we still didn't found it. It might be a preparation for something big, such as the actual test, set for 21st of october when the particles are set to collide, or for the worst nightmare of the mankind - the blackhole which was found in the center of our galaxy exactly ten years ago, and I will quote Science Daily:

In 1995, using the Keck I Telescope atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii, Ghez began tracking the movement of 200 stars near the galactic center. She found at least 20 stars that exhibited the telling signs of influence by extreme gravitational forces. These stars are spiraling around the black hole at speeds of up to three million miles per hour-about 10 times the speed at which stars typically move. In order to account for the rapid speeds of these stars, Ghez determined that an object 2.6 million times more massive than our Sun must be concentrated into a single black hole.

When you hear something like that, the center of the galaxy looks very close. We will see what is all about soon I think.

What is this experiment about.

Campbell Brown - the one without dirty secrets

campbell brown
Lately, there were lots of speculations on Campbell Brown from CNN and Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska and the Republican vice-presidential nominee in the 2008 United States presidential election. In a live transmission interview, Campbell asked McCain's spokesman to explain why is Palin's daughter pregnant. Not so directly, but why she had to ask this?! There were lots of commentaries on this subject about both, Campbell and Palin, but from all I liked one from Wall Street Journal, which at a point says:

Campbell Brown of CNN did nothing wrong for instance in pressing a campaign spokesman on Palin's foreign policy credentials. She was unjustly criticized for following an appropriate and necessary line of inquiry. But endless front page stories connected to Mrs. Palin's 17-year-old daughter? Cable news shows that had people insinuating Palin, whom America had not yet even met, was a bad mother, and that used her daughter's circumstances to examine Republican views on abstinence education? That was ugly.

I just don't get it, what were them talking about, politics, personal life or it was a court session ?! Is correct to have a dirty election run, but what this have to do with the media,journalism or the news. If Palin's daughter is pregnant, then so be it, but don't take her into mud or turn an election run into a circus. Every person have a dirty secret and should stay so - secret. What is wrong of being pregnant so early ?! To have a 45 years old grandmother?
Now I'm thinking to this so called "firestorm" started by Campbell. It looks like a classic 'no-heart' media tale. And when I thought that journalists are tired of this attitude. Anyway, below is the video that blew the talk shows in America these days.

Kanye West
Kanye West hits MTV's VMA with 'Love Lockdown' and people are just mad these days searching on the internet for anything related to Kanye. So I've gathered a few resources to check him. He have a 'huh' blog, a myspace page. Below is the Kanye West - Love lockdown video and lyrics.



Im not lovin you, the way I wanted to

What I had to do, had to run from you

Im in love with you, but the vibe is wrong

And that haunted me, all the way home

So ya never know, never never know

Never know enough, til its over love

Til we lose control, system overload

Screamin no no no, no no

I aint lovin you, the way I wanted to

See I wanna move, but cant escape from you

So I keep it low, keep a secret code

So everybody else dont have to know


So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down

So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down

So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down

You keep ya love locked down, you lose


Im not lovin you, the way I wanted to

I cant keep my cool, so I keep it true

I got somethin to lose, so I gotta move

I cant keep myself, and still keep you too

So I keep in mind, when Im on my own

Somewhere far from home, In the danger zone

How many times did it take til I finally got through

you lose, you lose

I aint lovin you, the way I wanted to

See I had to go, see I had to go

No more wastein time, we cant wait for life

which is wastin time, wheres the finish line


So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down

So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down

So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down

You keep ya love locked down, you lose


Im not lovin you, the way i wanted to

I met no one new, I got no one new

No I said im through, but got love for you

But im not lovin you, the way I wanted to

Gotta keep it goin, keep the lovin goin

Keep it on a roll, only god knows

Am I into you, baby im confused

You choose, you choose

I aint lovin you, the way I wanted to

Way I got to go, I dont need you

I been on this road, too many times before

I aint lovin you, the way I wanted to


So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down

Keepin ya love locked down, ya love locked down

Keepin ya love locked down, ya love locked down

Keepin ya love locked down, you lose

So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down

Keepin ya love locked down, ya love locked down

If you keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down

Keepin ya love locked down, you lose
