Clearing out the aggregator, Easter edition

Ok, time to throw some links at you:

• The father of MRI technology died recently. As the O'Reilly Radar blog points out,

  Lauterbur's first paper on nuclear magnetic resonance, which he submitted to Nature in 1971, was rejected because his images, taken with an early version of the device, were considered "fuzzy." It shouldn't have mattered that the images were fuzzy but that they showed something that was not made visible before.

  The message I take away from this is, scientific journals are very selective about what they publish. Which is all the more reason that you can't dismiss evolution or global warming as mere "theories".
• I always knew people didn't care about classical music, but I didn't know the situation was this bad.
• And apparently retired Marines are now enemies of the state, not fit to fly on commercial airlines. WTF?!
