Just finished reading a nice book about the irrational behaviour of humans. A collection of strange/funny/interesting things people do even if they do not want to or would not think of doing in the first place … anyway, its a nice book also introducing a lot of experiments that have been carried out (mostly on MIT students) to test these behaviours.
Its called: “Predictably irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions”.

LHC re-start scheduled for 2009
Yesterday the rumour has been made public: the LHC re-start has been scheduled for next year. Due to the problems that occured recently the needed repairs will take until the common CERN winter shutdown (which will not be cancelled) and therefore the first beam is expected for next year only.
The re-start is planned for early spring now, but what exactly this means is not defined!?
Here’s the official press release.
