From 34,000 feet over Greenland, congratulations to Francis Halzen and IceCube. A fine choice by the Nobel Committee! I look forward to many more superb results and some off-scale surprises. And kudos to the National Science Foundation as we have known it for enlightened support!

Words for Civic Leaders, Canterbury Cathedral, 21st September:
Act of Dedication In your relations with others, exercise imagination, understanding and sympathy; listen patiently, and seek whatever truth other people's opinions may contain for you; think it possible that you may be mistaken. In discussion, avoid hurtful and provocative language; do not allow the strength of your convictions to betray you into making statements or allegations that are unfair or untrue. Remember your responsibility as civic leaders and do not shirk the effort and time this may demand. Do not be content to accept things as they are; but keep an alert and questioning mind. Seek to discover the causes of social unrest, injustice and fear and work for an order of society which will allow women and men, young and old to flourish and foster their desire to serve.

I am sad to report that the formidable Ken Lane (BU), has died. Ken made many notable contributions, among them work on the Cornell charmonium model, dynamical symmetry breaking in the form of extended technicolor, and supercollider physics. He shared the 2011 Sakurai Prize. RIP.
