Derek Lowe: "To me, the story of science has been the story of augmenting our perceptions, and realizing that they had to be augmented in the first place."

[The] inability (or unwillingness) to realize that man is not the measure of all things. Unaided human perceptions on the human scale don't take you very far on the macro-scale of astronomy, or the micro-scale of cell biology (much less that of subatomic physics). To me, the story of science has been the story of augmenting our perceptions, and realizing that they had to be augmented in the first place.

Welcome to the Rolling Baseball Namesakes in the News thread.

Oops, forgot the link to Lowe's quotation.

Police Chief Jeff Weaver said there have been three burglaries, but no robberies or serious problems related to marijuana. Even so, he remains concerned about public safety.

“Any time you have something of value, which marijuana is, the more there is of it, the more likely someone will try to take it,” Weaver said. “Any increase in cultivation is a concern to me.”

wonder if hes involved w/ licenses 4 taco trucks

Manuel Ramirez's bloodied body lay on the grimy Sixth Street sidewalk, partly obscured by a La Opinión newspaper rack, which would feature the Guatemalan-born day laborer in headlines for days to come.

Ramirez, 37, was shot on September 5 by a veteran Los Angeles Police Department officer responding to a call of a man armed with a knife, threatening people near the intersection of Sixth Street and Union Avenue in Los Angeles' heavily Latino Westlake area.

One couldn't help but think Ramirez would have been stunned by the level of outrage over his shooting, and the overt efforts by city politicians and LAPD brass to explain the fatal incident.

DUNBAR, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A police chase through Kanawha County ends with two people in jail.

Brian Wilson, 32, and Ashley Keiffer, 25, were taken into custody after the chase.

Wilson is being charged with Wanton Endangerment, Grand Larceny and Shoplifting. Keiffer is being charged with Obstructing and Fleeing on Foot.

Both are being kept at the South Central Regional Jail.

Wilson's bond was set at $10,000 and Keiffer's bond was set at $2,500.

Both are expected to be in court soon.

Just adding some art to Mark C's quotation:
