IS FAITH COMPATIBLE WITH SCIENCE?, THE JUKEBOX SPEAKS, PAIN CAUSED BY EMOTIONAL STRESS IS WORSE THAN PHYSICAL PAIN, HITLER'S MAD DREAM, HOLLYWOOD SQUARES TRIBUTE, HOWLIN' WOLF
Sadly, I guess we all saw this coming. O-J Simpson was a bloody mess the other day -- and this time, he was the one who was allegedly attacked by a family member. Simpson's oldest daughter reportedly opened a can of whup-ass on the former football star and his girlfriend.
A STUDENT told The Sun yesterday how paedophile Gary Glitter groped her thigh as she sat on a beach with her dad when she was just EIGHT. Glitter befriended Clara Foster while she was on holiday with her parents and older sister in the Thai resort of Phuket.
Is faith compatible with science? Does science take faith into account? Should scientists keep religious faith in mind while they do their scientific theorizing, their scientific experimenting, their scientific … But here I begin to lose faith in my ability to ask the question. I have some idea what God does. I have no idea what scientists do. My entire store of information about scientific activity comes from what I've seen in the movies. There, scientists used to be represented as men in white coats busy with incomprehensible jumbles of glass tubing connected to foaming beakers and bubbling test tubes. Now, scientists are represented as men (and women) in white coats busy with incomprehensible jumbles of numbers on computer screens. All I can really tell you about science is that its set designers aren't as good as they used to be.

The economy shifted to a higher gear in the spring, growing at its fastest pace in nearly a year as foreign buyers snapped up U.S. exports and tax rebates spurred shoppers at home.
The Commerce Department reported Thursday that gross domestic product, or GDP, increased at a 3.3 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter. The revised reading was much better than the government's initial estimate of a 1.9 percent pace and exceeded economists' expectations for a 2.7 percent growth rate.

Three vast tunnels were opened under central Berlin this month, giving a glimpse of Adolf Hitler's megalomaniac vision of a new architectural centre for the capital of Nazi Germany.
The 16-metre (50-foot) deep tunnels were constructed in 1938 as part of an underground transport network beneath a series of bombastic buildings designed by Nazi architect Albert Speer, including the biggest domed hall the world had ever seen. From Surfer Drewster in Evanston.

You probably already knew that Nikola Tesla, who developed alternating current electricity, was so OCD that he couldn't eat food until he'd determined its exact mass. But did you know that Jack Whiteside Parsons, founder of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, was a Pagan who loved orgies? Or that Marie Curie, who discovered radium and coined the term "radioactive," suffered bouts of depression because as a woman she wasn't allowed to work as a professor even after she'd won two Nobel Prizes? This week you can delve into the lives (and madness) of well-known scientists with a new book from Daniel "How to Survive a Robot Uprising" Wilson and Anna C. Long, The Mad Scientist Hall of Fame.

BEST SITE OF THE DAY:
Howlin' Wolf (born Chester Arthur Burnett) was one of the great blues singers and guitarists, together with the likes of Sonny Boy Williamson and Muddy Waters, who helped build Chess Records in Chicago. By the time he played Ebbets Field in Denver in 1973, he was already a legend.
Long admired by the Rolling Stones, the 1962 Howlin' Wolf album was a must for anyone into Chicago bluesHowlin' Wolf's last album was The Back Door Wolf, which was finished in August 1973. However, he did not perform any songs from the new album at Ebbets Field. Instead he played a best-of set. You can hear it here!
