Being bombarded with inept prose, shoddy ideas, incoherent grammar, boring plots and insubstantial characters &#8212; not to mention ton after metric ton of clich\u00c3\u00a9s &#8212; for hours on end induces a state of existential despair that&#8217;s almost impossible to communicate to anyone who hasn&#8217;t been there themselves: Call it slush fatigue. You walk in the door pledging your soul to literature, and you walk out with a crazed glint in your eyes, thinking that the Hitler Youth guy who said, &#8220;Whenever I hear the word &#8216;culture,&#8217; I reach for my revolver&#8221; might have had a point after all. Recovery is possible, but it&#8217;ll take a while (apply liberal doses of F. Scott Fitzgerald). In the meantime, instead of picking up every new manuscript with an open mind and a tiny nibbling hope, you learn to expect the worst. Because almost every time, the worst is exactly what you&#8217;ll get.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/books\">books<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/publishing\">publishing<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/literature\">literature<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/business\">business<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/focus.aps.org\/story\/v25\/st24\">Atomic Clock Beats the Quantum Limit | Physical Review Focus<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;Labs worldwide are trying several different squeezing schemes, but a team led by Vladan Vulevi\u00c4\u0087 of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge and another led by Eugene Polzik of the University of Copenhagen [1] are the first to make a clock. In their February PRL paper, the MIT team described using laser-light pulses to entangle atoms in an optical cavity. The conditions allowed the two complimentary variables&#8211;phase and atomic state populations&#8211;to affect one another without either being measured directly. This situation led to entanglement and to narrowing of the uncertainty ellipse.<\/p>\n<p>In their latest work, the team translated their reduced phase uncertainty into a clock.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/physics\">physics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/quantum\">quantum<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/measurement\">measurement<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/lasers\">lasers<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/atoms\">atoms<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/time\">time<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/precision-measurement\">precision-measurement<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/experiment\">experiment<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>slacktivist: Rendering unto Krugman &#8220;But knowing their hypocrisy, he said unto them, &#8220;Why are you putting me to the test?
