Sick sea lions.

Those of us in New Mexico would really like to know the extent of our governor's involvement. Investigation continues. (HuffPo, TPMMuck)

Photos of Manhattan Project equipment. Here's the X-10 reactor face at Oak Ridge. I've seen many of these in person. There's a book just out with black and white photos like this. H/t to Adam Rofer. (Is nepotism allowed here?)



Six members appointed to the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission. With any luck, this commission will finger the bad guys and bad situations that allowed (assisted?) it to happen. With any luck, this might be a redo of the Pecora Commission.
