		<description><![CDATA[An interesting reality I came across today is that the United States recognizes 195 countries.  I would argue that there are 196 because Taiwan (Republic of China) is left out of the list.  The United States apparently cannot recognize Taiwan due to some political issues form back in 1979 (http://www.state.gov/s/inr/rls/4250.htm#note6). The definition of a country [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jahkobian.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3728949&amp;post=91&amp;subd=jahkobian&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Relevant particle physics in brief: Stuff is either made of quarks or [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jahkobian.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3728949&amp;post=66&amp;subd=jahkobian&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently a curiosity over the legitimacy of the word bupkis came up among my colleagues so I checked it out. The word bupkis or bupkiss, is a Yiddish slang expression that has something to do with beans. It comes from the word kozebupkes which actually means goat droppings. The Slavic root koz means goat and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jahkobian.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3728949&amp;post=17&amp;subd=jahkobian&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
