Muslim Nobel Prize Winner Ahmed Hassan Zewail
2008-05-05 10:46:00 Two years ago I noted that hundreds of blogs and websites mistakenly offer up the statistic that there are 10 or 11 Muslim Nobel Prize Laureates. Excluding the Nobel Peace Prize which does not reward intellectual achievement (after all, Yasser Arafat got one) I wrote that there were only three Muslims (out of 1.5 billion) who have won Nobel Prizes. Two in Science (Abdus Salam, and Ahmed Zewail) and one in Literature (Naguib Mahfouz). Seven months after I wrote that article I should have updated the total to 4. So please add Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk, who won the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature. Pamuk, it should be mentioned, is hardly a Muslim having been brought up in a secular, westernized family. He is what I call a MINO, a Muslim in Name only. Another MINO is Ahmed Zewail, a most busy scientist to whom many Muslim websites like to proudly point as an example that a Muslim can indeed achieve scientific success. However, Zewail himself has written that one of the barrier...

NOONGALLAS SCIENTIST WINS NOBEL PRIZE
2008-03-24 00:25:00 SCIENCE NEWSBy Science Correspondent Jan CarewRenowned Noongallas scientist, Professor Duke Ellington Trewavas, has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Philosophical Physics for his pioneering work on the daftness of brushes. Professor Trewavas, who holds the Chair of Experimental Physics and Natural Philosophy at University College, Relubbus, is credited with finally resolving the age-old question of whether two brushes are dafter than one brush.The classic view was expounded by Aristotle in 348 B.C., when he argued that, since a single brush was infinitely daft, the combined daftness of two or more brushes could not exceed that of one alone.This view remained unchallenged for over two millenia until, in the eighteenth century, David Hume proposed the idea of a rocket ship accelerating for ever through space. Over trillions of years (the concept of "light years" was then unknown), as the ship progresses deeper and deeper into space, gradually picking up speed all the while, it approac...

Sardar jokes-Nobel prize

2008-02-22 02:07:00 Wole Soyinka defies categories and boundaries: Scholar, poet, playwright, actor, human rights activist, Nobel Prize winner, former political prisoner.

Cleto Munari: Five Pens for Five Nobel Prize Winning Writers
2007-11-19 11:51:00 A person's handwriting says a lot about his or her personality; a strong right slant suggests a fierce emotional side while small size might refer to a penchant for details. This idea wasn't lost on Italian designer Cleto Munari, who asked famous architects and designers to come up with with a set of five beautiful pens, each inspired by a Nobel Prize-winning writer. The finished writing utensils with 18kt gold details are luxurious and inspiring to those who take the handwritten word seriously. To start, Munari asked for handwritten letters from writers Nagib Mahfouz, Toni Morrison, Wole Soyinka, José Saramago and Saul Bellow, which he then gave to architects and designers Toyo Ito, Alessandro Mendini, Alvaro Siza Viera and Oscar Tusquetstook. The pens are very much based on the designer's interpretation of the writer's style and form. Designboom has excerpts from the pens' accompanying The Book of Five Pens that show these letters, essential elements for potential purch...

Blog Review: Doris Lessing, Nobel Prize Laureate
2007-10-29 10:04:00 On Oct. 11, the Swedish Academy announced that Doris Lessing (87) had won the Nobel Prize in Literature.Most bloggers reacted to the news by recounting meetings they have had with Lessing and by discussing the influence her writing has had on them as individuals and as writers.They also discussed some of Lessingâs books and the themes she explores in her writing.A few reacted by reviewing what has been said in newspapers about Lessing and her books. An even smaller minority, like T. K. Kenyon, the author of Rabid â used the news to launch a diatribe against the âself-appointed literati and menâ who had unfavorably criticized Lessingâs science fiction.There was an almost unanimous agreement that the award was well-deserved and long overdue.Nury Vittachi, author of The Feng Shui Detective responded by revealing how, a few years ago, he had gone to a book signing Doris Lessing was hosting and about how she was holding one of his books when he approached her table.âSo it end...
Nobel Prize winner Watson retires
2007-10-25 23:28:00 He’s old and older folks tend to say what’s on their mind. James Watson part of the famous team of Watson and Crick who described the DNA Helix has retired as Chancellor of a Long Island Lab after his racial remarks. ————- From NYT: James D. Watson, the eminent biologist who ignited an uproar last week with remarks about the intelligence of people of African descent, retired today as chancellor of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on Long Island and from its board. In a statement, he noted that, at 79, he is âoverdueâ to surrender leadership positions at the lab, which he joined as director in 1968 and served as president until 2003. But he said the circumstances of his resignation âare not those which I could ever have anticipated or desired.â Dr. Watson, who shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for describing the double-helix structure of DNA, and later headed the American governmentâs part in the international Human Genome Project, was quoted...

The Invulnerable Child and the Nobel Prize--Where's the Connection?
2007-10-17 00:40:00 Parents today are keenly aware of how important early environment is determining a child's future development. They rightly put in lots of time and effort into providing the caring environment that children need if they are to flourish. But, as always, there are exceptions to the rule. A few decades back, James Anthony, a child psychiatrist, focused on the exceptions when he proposed the idea of the "invulnerable child." Here he was referring to the small, but amazing group of children who are raised by mentally ill mothers. While most of their peers in comparable situations suffer greatly, these children end up as super-competent. Their resilience is remarkable and like the Cinderella story, it gives hope that we can overcome what appears to be an awful destiny. Last week, we saw a real life version of the story in one of the men who are awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine. His name is Mario Capecchi.

What Gore?s Nobel Prize might mean for cleaner cars
2007-10-14 22:22:00 I'm trying to figure out how Al Gore's Nobel Peace Prize win (which he shared with UN climate change scientists) last week might affect the green car world. The general theme from the articles I've read on the win over the weekend (the ones that aren't rightwing hit pieces or speculations on a possible Gore 2008 presidential run) seem to agree that the value in Gore's win is that it finally moves the whole global warming/climate change/is it happening debate off to the side. Take this, for example, from today's Chicago Tribune: Over the last year, views on climate change seem to have transformed faster than the weather itself.In almost impossibly rapid fashion, a once widely disputed theory has become a mainstream worry. There are waiting lists for hybrid cars. In awarding the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, the prize committee gave much of the credit for that shift to this year's winners...Humans are affecting the environment, the new widespread conventional wisdom goes, this c...
Magnetic Storage Breakthrough Wins Scientists Nobel Prize in Physics
2007-10-14 13:40:00 Nobel Prize awarded for discovery in magnetic storage breakthrough made in 1970s The Nobel Prize is synonymous to many with developments and inventions that revolutionize a particular field. This year the Nobel Prize in Physics has gone to French scientist Albert Fert and German Peter Grünberg. The pair won the 2007 Nobel Prize for physics for their discovery of the phenomenon of ?giant magnetoresistance,? or GMR. This phenomenon is where weak changes in magnetic resistance give rise to big differences in electrical resistance. This is one of the core principles that allows for the development of sensitive reading tools for retrieving magnetically sorted data in devices from computers to portable media players. The Nobel Foundation regards Fert and Grunberg's accomplishment as "one of the first major applications of nanotechnology." BBC News quotes Professor Ben Murdin of the University of Surrey, UK, as saying, ?Without [giant magnetoresistance] you wo...

Czech president Vaclav Klaus: "surprised" at Nobel prize for Gore
2007-10-13 16:17:00 The Nobel peace Prize committee has been becoming more and more politicized over the years. Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, was erroneously reported as dead by a French newapaper in 1888. The newspaper printed a scathing obituary condemning him for inventing new ways to kill more people. This prompted Nobel to give the bulk of his fortune to establish the Nobel Prize committee to award prizes to individuals for achievements in the sciences and in promoting world peace. It is unfortunate that the Nobel Prize Committee has become so wrapped up in feel good liberal politics that it awards prizes to such 'notables' as Jimmy Carter, Yassar Arafat, Kofi Anan, the United Nations Peacekeepers and now Al Gore.  And while such actions might play well to the lowest common denominator in liberal politics it only further increases the irrelevancy of the Nobel peace Prize in the eyes of many people. The only good I can see coming from this is that it has further emboldened supporter...
Nobel Prize for Peace 2007- Al Gore and U.N. Panel Share for Climate Work
2007-10-13 03:20:00 Former Vice President of the United Nations, Mr. Al Gore, who emerged from his loss in the muddled 2000 presidential elections to devote himself to his passion as an environmental crusader, was awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, sharing it with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a United Nations network of scientists. The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised both âfor their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change.â The prize is a vindication for Mr. Gore, whose frightening, cautionary film about the consequences of climate change, âAn Inconvenient Truth,â won the 2007 Academy Award for best documentary, even as conservatives in the United States denounced it as alarmist and exaggerated. Mr. Gore said in a brief appearance on Friday in Palo Alto, Calif., standing with his wife, Tipper, and four members of the United Nations climate panel, âI will accept this award on behalf of all the people that hav...
Doris Lessing Deserves the Nobel Prize for Lit
2007-10-13 02:12:00 To all the male chauvinist idiots who bemoan Doris Lessing winning the Nobel Prize: Doris Lessing won the Nobel Prize for Literature because she deserves it, thatâs why. Â The criticism of Doris Lessing recently receiving the Nobel Prize is thinly disguised misogyny, salted with a snobbish distaste for fiction marketed as science fiction. Â Literary critic Harold Bloom, commenting on Lessing’s Nobel, told The Associated Press. “Although Ms. Lessing at the beginning of her writing career had a few admirable qualities, I find her work for the past 15 years quite unreadable … fourth-rate science fiction.” Â Let us remember that is almost the exact quote that Kirkus Reviews used to slam Kurt Vonnegutâs Player Piano before it was recognized that he was not writing âfourth-rate science fiction,â but post-modern literature worthy of every prize in the book. Â Harold Bloom and the rest of the self-appointed literati have their panties in a wad that some ...
