Call of the past
As we go through our lives, science will have a greater impact. You can look at the science, 'Wow, they can do that, they can recover the voice without touching the cylinder.' "
Eventually the recording will be part of the London park exhibit. It will be played for visitors in the painstakingly restored den and cottage where London would write 1,000 words each day, his back to the window to avoid distractions.
"It would be best served as an interpretative tool if it was listened to and fully explained at the park where it was recorded," Crossman said.
The Londons bought the 500-acre Glen Ellen ranch and vineyard in 1910 and named it Beauty Ranch. It was where he lived, wrote, entertained friends and dignitaries and eventually died.
London was a world traveler and remains an international figure.

A popular acne drug may raise cholesterol levels.
People who take the acne drug Accutane (isoretinoin), may be at risk for high cholesterol. Researchers from the University of California, San Franscisco, looked at the blood tests of almost 13,772 patients who took the drug between 1995 and 2002. Looking closely at those who had normal blood tests before taking the drug, the researchers noted that 44 percent developed high triglycerides, 31 percent developed high cholesterol and 11 percent developed high liver enzymes while taking Accutane. While Roche, the maker of Accutane, does warn patients that the drug may cause increased triglycerides, cholesterol and liver enzymes, this is the first study to show how significantly blood levels of these elements change. The study found that blood tests tend to go back to normal once patients stop taking the drug.
Fire Billy Knight first
This same ownership group trusted Don Waddell to fire Bob Hartley because they were convinced the Thrashers' coach had lost the team six games after a playoff season. Given Woodson is still employed, we have to assume he is somehow held in higher regard after over 200 losses. But since they have waited this long, they might as well make the move that makes more sense. Fire the builder, not the plumber.

Commodities and Financials: Opposite Ends
This has led to record valuation spreads between commodities and financials... In fact, the spread in valuations is wider now than at any time in the past 55 years. In our experience, the extreme views driving this spread are a perfect example of momentum "groupthink," which rarely turns out to be correct, and we believe present us with an extraordinary value opportunity in financial stocks.
