Glenn Ford, Spared Death Row, Dies at 65

Mr. Ford spent nearly 30 years on death row in Louisiana for a murder he almost certainly did not commit. He died less than 16 months after his conviction was vacated and he was released.

You are.

Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.

Leap Second Will Extend the Day, and Might Roil the Internet

To balance a gradual slowing in the Earth’s rotation, Tuesday will be one second longer. But there’s a debate over whether the fix is worthwhile.

An  88 foot error in celestial navigation is not significant.
