Sorry about the dearth of posting lately — last week was one of those periods where I am pretty convinced I should have gone to law school instead of getting a PhD.
On an amusing note, the Tri-City Americans — a Western Hockey League team based in Kennewick, WA — held the Second Annual Nuclear Night “to promote the atomic history of the region.” (The Hanford Nuclear Site is located in the Tri-Cities.) The Ams auctioned off the jerseys to benefit the Player’s Continuing Education Fund.
My brother-in-law is a professional hockey player, so I am tempted to make a joke about the need for continuing education among hockey players. But then I think about this clip on YouTube, and decide that maybe a joke isn’t such a good idea.
You can check out photos from the game or purchase one of the remaining jerseys.
These should be official dress code for ACW bloggers. Along with a pair of comfy slippers.
It is my birthday in a few weeks …
Hi,
I just learned that Prof. Mustafa Kibaroglu from Turkey will give a lecture on Iran’s nuke program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars on 22 Feb.
He is a prominent academician and the only one who deals with nukes in Turkey.
It might be a good opportunity for the people who are interested in Turkish policies on nukes in the region, to meet with him.
Regards
