Berlin (Mar. 1)
Berlin is associated with the picture of very straight streets, which have become a symbol of Prussian strictness. The district of Schoneberg, surrounded by an otherwise rigid network of lines, interrupts this sobriety somewhat. Haberland Street suddenly begins to turn in and winds up ### a many-cornered little square-almost a fairy tale in monotonous Berlin.
The house at No. 5 Haberland St. is no palace; it is a small Berlin lodging house, the like of which there are a good ten thousand in the other districts. A house for middling officials and small tradesmen. However, up on the top floor the name "Einstein" on a brass plate shines in full view; a name which at the present time is reverberating around the world among scientists and laymen, after having been a proud symbol for two decades, of a new era in scientific perception.
In the quiet boudoir one sits in front of a lady who has the stamp of spiritual nobility. She would consider it tactless were she to be called the congenial wife of Albert Einstein. The infinite spheres of the Einstein-ian inquiry her mind does not comprehend. Nevertheless, she is the fortunate complement of the great investigator and discoverer, who in his hours of leisure is a veritable child of the world. All who are near the workshop of the conqueror of Newton utter the name of Elsa Einstein with profound respect.
The dialogue is carried on in a modulated tone, since somewhere in the not very large dwelling the great scientist is at work. The voice of the lady is soft and rings with a pride that can be understood; Madame Elsa is not alone the wife of Albert, but also his own cousin; daughter of that Engineer Einstein who to a certain extent was teacher and model to the child Albert.
It is not possible often to receive here the gentlemen of the press who daily ask for an interview. What can be told them? The last year has been a year of the most intense work for Einstein, since even in the months of oppressive sickness-Einstein suffered from distension of the heart-it was not interrupted. All public work, such as that in the university and in the League of Nations, had to be interrupted; the usual participation in demonstrations against injustice to individuals as well as to collective bodies and in behalf of human rights and rights of nations, likewise the work in behalf of Palestine, could be carried on only sporadically.
The talk turns to the Jewishness of Einstein. Einstein did not grow up in the Jewish traditions, says his wife. These traditions did not prevail in the house of his parents. Nevertheless, Albert was a religious child, permeated with the consciousness of God, even
(Continued on Page 4)
(Continued from Page 3)
though it was much later that he became permeated with the consciousness of his Jewishness. That was in April, 1914, as he tarried in Palestine on a return trip from Japan.
Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in the upper city of Ulm on the Danube. His father was a serene, optimistic, well-disposed man. When Albert was five years old, a compass shown him by his father first aroused in him wonder concerning unknown associations. His power of perception, dormant in the subconscious, awoke. This instrument directed him to the electro-magnetic field, that was to disclose itself to him decades later in fruitful studies.
About this time the Einstein family settled in Munich, where the head of the family started an electro-technical factory. The family lived in an idyllic little house in the midst of a large garden. In this environment a religious frame of mind was formed in the boy. At the same time he received private Jewish instruction from the teacher Frey. Very early the love for music began to stir in him, a love which has given rich content to his later life.
At this time there also occurred his first painful inner afflictions. Jewish children in the school were a small minority; little Albert here experienced the first sprayings of the foam of anti-Semitic waves. It was the first time he found himself distressed by something that jarred so discordantly the harmonious notes of his soul. He saw himself exposed to injustice, and in the position of compulsory defence his originally soft nature acquired a certain independence.
As a pupil he was orderly. Although he satisfied the demands, he in no wise displayed any special endowments. In the Gymnasium he made his first acquaintance with the elements of mathematics, which came to him with the force of a revelation. From the outset Albert proved to be a good solver of problems. His uncle, Engineer Jakob Einstein, introduced him to the secrets of algebra. His uncle Jakob made known to him on another occasion the sum and substance of the Pythagoric theorem, without giving any demonstration. In three weeks of most intense reflection Albert worked out the demonstration for himself. When he was 15 years old he was declared by his mathematics teacher to be ready for the University.
In the year 1894 his parents removed to Italy. Their comfortable existence came to an end. However, for the 15-year-old Albert the heavy chains of the school had been broken; attendance at school for the time being was out of the question. Soon Einstein pilgrimaged to Switzerland with the intention of studying mathematics and physics in the Zurich Polytechnic School. He, however, was not accepted in this institute and he went to Tarau, where he became a pupil in the Kantor school. The very beginnings of the relativity theory occurred during his studies at this time.
His material future caused the youth worry. He wanted to prepare himself for the position of school teacher. In the school of teachers of the Zurich Technical Institute he studied from the seventeenth to the twenty-first year of his life. From various quarters the prospect had been suggested to him of a post as assistant to a professor of physics. Here, as else-where, however, he was rejected. His being a Jew was the obstacle. As a non-Swiss, his stay in Milan had made him "a man without a country"; he was unable to get a post as teacher. In Schaffhausen and Bern he eked out a sorrowful existence as a private teacher. In 1903, at twenty-four, he married a South-Slavic student girl of the Catholic faith. After a number of years this marriage was dissolved.
In the year 1901, following a five-year residence in Switzerland, he obtained the right of citizenship in the city of Zurich, and with this the possibility finally emerged of his extricating himself from material difficulty. He was placed with the Swiss Patent Office, where he acted from 1902 to 1909 as technical expert, being preliminary examiner in patent applications.
In 1905 he began the publication of his scientic works which were to lead to the later epoch-making discoveries.
He had in view the obtaining of a University docentship. Difficulties beset his formal admission in Bern. And just when a chair was finally provided for him in Bern, Zurich stretched out its arms. There he was called in 1909 as special professor of theoretic physics in the University where he soon gathered round him a body of grateful students. In the Spring of 1914 he was called to the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin and was appointed to the Directorship of the newly-founded Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics. As a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences he had a faculty in the University. Here he ended his relativity work with the building up of the gravitation theory, the beginnings of which date back to 1907.
From the quiet residence of Albert Einstein in Haberlanstrasse of the district of Schoneberg in the city of Berlin wires are running all over the world; the works of other learned men concerning his theory have already reached 1,000 in number. Here, Mrs. Einstein pointed to a large bookcase with thick folio volumes, only a part of such works stacked one on top of the other. Einstein himself has been able to read only a part of them.
As a person with fresh natural impulses he cannot keep aloof from the activities of the world. Along with his work in the Intellectual Committee of the League of Nations, along with his activities for a re-establishment of the associations within the world of learned men, along with his participation in the fights against injustice to individuals and communities, for human rights of individuals and groups, he takes an interest, to an outstanding degree, in the upbuilding of the Jewish National Home in Palestine and devotes a good deal of time to it.

Welcome to the new Crafty Games forums! - same great content, new forum smell. New Members: You must post 5 replies to existing threads before you can create new threads.
Yeah, I can see some of the tactics some of my group have used in the past would require Cheap Shot or Called Shot. On the one hand, not having that kind of option as a basic combat maneuver can be somewhat limiting for those that haven't taken said tricks, but it does prevent some of my smarter players from using actual combat tactics while not rolling with combat related skills.
An example from a previous campaign in 4e: Shooting at a dragons wings to impair it's flight. In FC that would be a Cheap Shot to flight speed. The player might be able to think of that, but it would be implied that if he hasn't taken Cheap Shot as a trick, his character wouldn't have thought of it. Is that a fair assumption, then?
It's weird - until you posted this I was thinking that they were standard combat actions. I don't think it would break the game if everyone had access to them for free, to be honest, but I can't certainly see the reasoning behind making them advanced actions.
Not necessarily. A character can come up with a tactic they themselves aren't capable of performing - just as a frail old wizard can suggest that the barbarian push a boulder to start a landslide, so can the captain (or anyone else) suggest that someone more handy with a bow target specific areas on the wings to slow down the dragon.
If I was the GM and one of my players wanted to pull off something that required cheap/called shot but didn't have it, I'd let them spend an AD to gain the trick for 1 'use' only.
For the record, I also consider this a master level design choice - which is to say, it requires master level understanding of the game to actually use. Most casual players will never use this, and those who try ultimately find themselves very frustrated - not because the rules is hard to understand but because it urges - some might say, requires - a full comprehension of the feat and advanced action catalog to "properly" employ. Thus, with a general rule like this in play, you wind up potentially creating an 'elite class' of gamer within your group - a class that demands certain real-world attributes to join, and that not everyone will be able to join even if they want to - and those players will suddenly have power unavailable to anyone else. Not sayin'. Just sayin'.

Emilia Clarke is the new face of Dior Jewellery
She joins the ranks of celebrities such as Jennifer Lawrence and Marion Cotillard
Emilia Clarke has been named as the new face of Dior's Rose des Vents fine jewellery collection. The ad campaign was shot by famed photographer Patrick Demarchelier and features the actress wearing the necklaces of yellow and rose gold, diamonds, white mother-of-pearl and pink opals.
"It feels incredible to work on the Rose campaign," Emilia said in a clip obtained by US ELLE. "The jewellery is so beautiful. When I was really young, my dad went to Paris for the first time, he asked me what I wanted and I said 'Rose perfume'. Rose is in my name as well, I have them in my garden, I think it's just beautiful."
We think so too! Although this is Emilia's first luxury campaign, we think she's a natural. See photos from behind-the-scenes below.

League 1 POTM February Nomination: Frecklington
The February nominations for the Sky Bet League 1 Player of the Month Award are:
Lee Frecklington (Rotherham United) — midfielder
Inspired by his new role as stand-in captain, the central midfielder was everywhere in February, tackling back, spreading play and striding forward to score three goals, including a lovely tight-angled finish against Preston North End.
Michael Jacobs (Wolverhampton Wanderers) — midfielder
Made a huge impact with four goals in three games. Joining in the attack, he scored twice against Notts County and again in the 3-0 win at Brentford, arriving at pace for the first and striking a composed curler for the second.
Gary Jones (Bradford City) — midfielder
The veteran re-discovered his zest, driving his side on by example at both ends to turn around their fortunes. The highlights were two wonderful long-range strikes in the 3-3 draw against Crewe Alexandra, one with his left foot, the other his right.
Owain Fon Williams (Tranmere Rovers) — goalkeeper
At his spectacular shot-stopping best in February. A wonderful display at Milton Keynes Dons helped Rovers seal a vital 1-0 win. He pulled off a key triple save against Coventry City and a jaw-dropping, back-arching effort against Preston North End.

Metal Pedals
Killer Distortion! Hi Cut tone control and a selection silicon / germanium diodes are standard. Added features are Extra Disrtortion (fatter saturated high gain distortion) with optional switch knob or footswitch (switch between crunch and leads via footswitch). Dual outputs (bypass clean and effect out ) for using 2 channel amps is another option.
How it functions...
- First is our BOOSTER function, which increases your total signal output and produces a nice punchy clean sound for breaking up that amp with your Drive set low to halfway, or crank up your Drive to a heavy insane level of saturated distortion, enriched with harmonic overtones.
Not like anything you have heard before.
- Second is our DISTORTION function, which will take you from a light crunchy rhythm to a heavier distortion via drive knob. Select Vint and Mod...Germanium diodes give more distortion with less volume and have a slight midrange scoop to them (Modern sounding). Silicon have a more open sound with more volume but with less distortion produced (Vintage sounding).

The deadline for teams to submit their postseason roster to the South Atlantic League passed last week. And despite a request for help from GreenJackets manager Marty Brown, no moves were made.
Rumors had been circulating about the possible return of Eddy Furniss as well as some pitching help from Lynchburg, but Pittsburgh Pirates director of player development Paul Tinnell told Brown he would not make any immediate moves.
Rules allow players from lower levels to be added to the Augusta postseason roster between now and the start of the playoffs Aug. 31, but an organization cannot drop players from higher levels down to playoff-bound clubs after Aug. 10.
For obvious reasons, adding the bat of Furniss -- the former Louisiana State All-American who batted .465 with nine home runs and 31 RBI in 24 games with Augusta before jumping to Class AA Carolina -- would have been welcomed with open arms.
But Brown points to a nucleus which includes Kory DeHaan, Derrick Lankford, Terrance Freeman, Xavier Burns and Lee Evans -- all with more than 90 games and 300 at-bats in a Jackets uniform this season -- and Carlos Rivera, who is back after a stint in Lynchburg, with 75 games and 268 at-bats with the Jackets before Saturday.
"We all know now that this is what we've got for the playoffs so now these guys understand it's all up to them to turn this around," Brown said. "It would have been nice to get a little help for the stretch run, but I like what we've got. Sure, we're struggling right now, but we've still got a nucleus of guys that have had a great season."
Playoff tickets go on sale Monday at 9 a.m. at Lake Olmstead Stadium. The GreenJackets, who won the first half of the Southern Division, will travel to face the second-half champion in Game 1 of the SAL Divisional Playoff Series on Aug. 31. Game 2 will be played at The Lake on Sept. 1 and, if necessary, the Jackets will also host a decisive Game 3 of the series on Sept. 2
BUZZ: Outfielder Sonny Cortez is likely out for the season with a stress fracture in his leg. ... On Monday, left-hander Mike Gonzalez makes his first start in more than a month in Hickory. In eight starts with the Jackets, Gonzalez was 4-2 and was in the top five in the SAL with a 1.96 ERA before earning a promotion to Lynchburg in May. But the 20-year-old Texan developed tendinitis in his shoulder and struggled with the HillCats, going 0-3 with a 6.67 ERA in seven starts. ... Right-handed pitcher Carl South was in the Pirates organization for on the Jackets disabled list at the time of his release two weeks ago, was acquired on the final day of the SAL season in 1996 in a trade with Los Angeles after spending the season with Savannah. But South encountered major arm troubles and has not pitched above rookie ball since the trade.
CLOSING IN: With 48 stolen bases through Friday, Gutierrez needs five steals in the final 15 games to break the Augusta all-time single-season record. Derrick Swafford swiped 52 bags for the SAL champion Jackets in 1995. The mark is also in range for Freeman, who had 40 steals coming into Saturday. One mark Freeman does not wish to reach is the record for times caught stealing in a season. Current Pirates second baseman Tony Womack was caught 25 times in 1992. Freeman has been nailed 23 times through Saturday. ... Reliever Brad Guy needs six more appearances to break the all-time Augusta record for games in a season. The record is 54, held by three players.
JOHNSON RELEASED: Outfielder Eric "E.D." Johnson was released by the Pirates last Saturday. The Vidalia, Ga., native batted .237 with one home run and 12 RBI in 76 at-bats with the Jackets. The 23-year-old signed with Pittsburgh in February after a brief stint last season in the independent Frontier League.
JACKETS ALUMNI: The Sarge is back.
Journeyman outfielder Erskine Kelley, who was released last winter by Pittsburgh after seven seasons in the organization, is third in the independent Northeast League in batting with a .349 average to go with 11 home runs and 34 RBI for the Allentown (Pa.) Ambassadors. ... Outfielder Jose Nicolas, who batted .199 for the Jackets this season, is batting .253 with five homers and 28 RBI at Erie. ... Eddy Furniss, who was sent down to high-Class A Lynchburg after a rough two weeks at Class AA Carolina, is up to .242 after batting .143 with no extra-base hits in his first 14 at-bats for the HillCats. ... After batting .203 in 1996 and .235 last season for the Jackets, Freddy May is fifth in the Carolina League in batting with a .295 average at Lynchburg. ... Right-hander Giancarlo Alvarado is 2-2 with a 5.89 ERA in nine appearances at Lynchburg.

STEVENS POINT (WAOW) – A Plover man told investigators that he strangled a 36-year-old woman, sexually assaulted her after she was dead, put her body in her car, drove it to a rural area and set the vehicle on fire, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.
"Mr. Flores Aca told detectives that he was so angry and had lost control and likened it to becoming a 'monster,'" the criminal complaint said.
Jose Luis Flores Aca, 32, of Plover was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree sexual assault and hiding a corpse in the Aug. 7 death of Jamie Koch at her apartment in Plover.
He made his initial appearance in Portage County Circuit Court via video conference from jail, where he is being held on $1 million bail, online court records said. His next court appearance is Sept. 11 for a preliminary hearing.
Aca told investigators he was returning from an evening at the bar and had just been unable to talk to a former girlfriend when Koch asked "Hi, how are you?" as he stood in the hallway of the building where he and Koch had separate apartments, the complaint said.
Aca said Koch invited him inside her apartment and he eventually "threw her a punch" and she fell down, the complaint said.
Aca said he used his hands and Koch's bra to strangle her, the complaint said.
"The last thing I remember I wrapped it around like this and she was going crazy and everything so I must have tied it hard or something and I kept choking her until she just wasn't breathing," Aca told investigators, according to the complaint.
Aca told police he loses his temper "very easily" after he hurt his head in a driving accident some years ago and he "goes off on people when in the past he wouldn't have," the complaint said.
Aca said he carried Koch's body to the rear seat of her car and drove to a rural area of Waupaca County where he once worked as a farm worker, the complaint said.
He said he found a lighter in Koch's car and started sheets and a blanket on fire and then stuffed a cloth in the car's gas tank and started it on fire, the complaint said.
Then, he ran off to a nearby farm where he knew some of the workers, got a ride back to Plover and went to bed, the complaint said.
Koch was last seen alive about 1:30 a.m. Aug. 7, leaving Joe's Bar, the complaint said.
Sean Drury, Aca's attorney, did not immediately return a telephone message Tuesday.

Interesting things tend to happen when retired educator Robert Knuckle has a little time on his hands.
The author and scriptwriter will share one of his lesser-known hobbies with the public when the Hamilton-Wentworth Heritage Association hosts a fundraising lecture later this month.
Knuckle will regale his audience with tales of the Titanic; in particular, Canada's role in the tragedy. The Dundas resident began to pursue his interest in the disaster shortly after his retirement in 1992.
"I was twiddling my thumbs and didn't know what to do, so I decided to become a Titanic researcher for Encyclopedia Titanica," said Knuckle.

Many healthcare professionals care for you as part of a team when you are hospitalized. A nurse cares for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week and partners with many other healthcare professionals - including your doctor - to meet your varying care needs. On staffing plans, "Direct Caregivers" may include nursing aides, assistants and respiratory therapists, among others. Team members listed in the "Additional Care Team Members" section, such as clinical pharmacists, nutritionists, Intravenous (IV) Therapy Teams and Staff Educators also help coordinate and deliver your care.
There are many variables to consider in terms of what constitutes safe, efficient staffing for a particular hospital unit. Every patient care unit is different based upon the types of patients cared for on that unit, and the way in which care is organized and delivered there; Staffing for individual units can vary based on the education and experience level of the staff, support from nurse educators and nurse managers on a given unit, as well as on the unique characteristics and mission of the hospital. It is also important to look at hospitals' patient outcomes such as fall rates and pressure ulcer prevalence and Hospital Compare measures - including Heart Attack care and readmission, Heart Failure care and readmission, Pneumonia care and readmission,Surgical care, Stroke care and Blood Clot care - in the Performance Measures section of PatientCareLink.
Your assigned nurse (primary nurse) will be most involved in your day-to-day care and oversee all aspects of your stay. There are various kinds of nurses, all of whom are licensed professionals with different levels of training and specialization. These include LPNs with nursing diplomas, and RNs with associate degrees, bachelor's degrees and master's degrees. Your nurse may call on other staff nurses to help with your care, including evaluations or treatments.
The nurse manager oversees all the care on a particular unit. The nurse taking care of you is supported by the nurse manager.
These nurses serve as educational resources to staff, giving them the latest information about medication, treatments or technology.
Clinical nurse specialists have master's degrees in a specialty and provide teaching and support to patients in their particular area of knowledge.
A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who has completed additional courses and specialized training. They can diagnose and treat illnesses in their specialty. Some nurse practitioners can prescribe medications. They work under the supervision of a physician.
Nurses aren't the only professionals caring for you. Here are examples of some of the others who may be part of your care team:
A clinical pharmacist participates directly with the healthcare team and influences the quality and safety of medication use in a variety of ways. These may include: making rounds on the patient units, reviewing medication orders for safety, providing recommendations, consulting on patient discharge medications and educating patients.
A registered dietitian (RD) is a food and nutrition expert who provides dietary support, counseling and/or education to patients, family and/or nurses to ensure appropriate nutritional care.
Hospitalists are doctors who specialize in caring for hospitalized patients. They can focus all their attention on caring for patients inside the hospital, including coordinating and consulting with your other doctors, and keeping you and your family informed.
These specialized doctors are located in the critical care units to support and direct the care of critically ill adults and newborns.
Medical school graduate doctors who are gaining supervised practical or specialized experience in a hospital setting may be part of your care team.
This team is available to put in IV lines and to troubleshoot IV placement issues.
These staff are healthcare professionals who help patients deal with crises, cope with their illness, solve problems, enhance communication with members of the healthcare team and access hospital and community services.
These staff members take patients and their equipment to and from tests, procedures and appointments within the hospital.
A patient observer is like a sitter and maintains constant watch over a single patient for safety reasons.
Your own medical doctor may be taking care of you while you are in the hospital, or may have a hospitalist, a surgeon or a specialist manage your hospital care.
PAs provide diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive healthcare services, with supervision from physicians. They should not be confused with medical assistants, who perform routine clinical and clerical tasks.
In some hospitals, Rapid Response Team clinicians provide critical care expertise and respond to a patient's bedside to assist with a serious change in a patient's condition and if appropriate, a change in treatment. All hospitals have some method of rapid response.
Recreation/milieu therapists provide planned activities that support patient care on hospital units--most often in psychiatric settings.
Offer skilled treatment to help individuals achieve independence in all facets of their lives.
COTAs help patients develop, recover, and improve the skills needed for daily living and working. Occupational therapy assistants are directly involved in providing therapy to patients, while occupational therapy aides typically perform support activities. Both assistants and aides work under the direction of occupational therapists.
Spend their time focusing on the large motor groups that contribute to walking, reaching, standing and physical activities.
PTAs work under the direction and supervision of physical therapists. They help patients who are recovering from injuries and illnesses regain movement and manage pain
These individuals perform testing and provide respiratory treatments to diagnose and manage the care of patients with lung and breathing problems. They also monitor and maintain respiratory equipment, and provide patient education.
Speech-Language Pathologists assess, diagnose, treat, and help to prevent communication and swallowing disorders in patients. Speech, language, and swallowing disorders result from a variety of causes, such as a stroke, brain injury, hearing loss, developmental delay, a cleft palate, cerebral palsy, or emotional problems.
Includes nursing assistants, orderlies, patient care technicians / assistants, and graduate nurses not yet licensed who have completed unit orientation.
PatientCareLink is a joint venture of the Massachusetts Hospital Association (MHA),
Organization of Nurse Leaders of MA-RI (ONL), and the Home Care Alliance of Massachusetts.

Visualizing Mathematics with 3D Printing – New Book by Mathematical Artist Henry Segerman
In 2013, I collaborated with Henry Segerman to create a first of its kind collection of 3D Printed Mobiles. Outside of being Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Oklahoma State University, Henry has since established himself as one of the leading figures in the new world of math and 3D printing. This month he has a new book out titled Visualizing Mathematics with 3D Printing in which he takes readers on a fascinating tour of two-, three-, and four-dimensional mathematics, exploring Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, symmetry, knots, tilings, and soap films.
The book includes more than 100 color photographs of 3D printed models, and has a sister website that features virtual three-dimensional versions of the models for readers to explore.
Read the review on Wired "Can't Imagine Shapes in 4 Dimensions? Just Print Them Out" and also take a look at Henry's amazing 3D Printed Mathematical Art.

I feel words all day long. They are a part of me. Ever since my mom gave me a journal at age 10 I have been capturing my thoughts. Now the same words that live in me are making their way from my mind to the screen. I recently finished my memoir, White Bees, all about the triumph of overcoming a trial of being born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate…a trial that I wouldn't change.
Review of White Bees from Tim Duffie, USMC
Vietnam, 1966-67
"Courage has been described as the act of facing danger or pain when there is a clear alternative to avoid it. As a Marine with thirteen months of combat experience in Vietnam, I have seen courage.
Amy Jo Wilde displayed courage greater than any I saw on the battlefield. The battlefield offers few alternatives. However, Amy Jo could have simply accepted her circumstances and avoided months and years of excruciating pain and agony. Nobody would have thought any less of her.
But she didn't! She demanded more of herself. She knew she was beautiful. She just knew it was going to take a lot of pain to get to where the rest of the world could see it.
I shed many a tear as I read "White Bees". Some were tears of empathy as I felt her pain. Others were tears of joy when those things she had longed for, and prayed for, began to come to fruition."

As NBC's late night war comes to a close and we await Conan O'Brien's final "Tonight Show" this evening, it's a good time to look back on the nation's bloodiest television war since 1993. Jimmy Kimmel provides the essential recap of the events with this terrific faux-Ken Burns/PBS documentary (video below). It is an absolute triumph of Photoshop, voiceover, white men with beards, and lonesome harmonica music.
Oh man. I just realized that "Photoshop, voiceover, white men with beards, and lonesome harmonica music" comes way too close to summarizing my life. I gotta go out more. Or at least order another Russian bride. The last one, uh… left. Yeah, she left me. I don't know where she went. Definitely not that Dumpster, I can tell you that much.

About Us
MoleSafe was founded on passion and it is our sole mission to combat this widely underappreciated disease with early detection. Through the use of innovative technology and the specialized skill set of our dermatologists, we are dedicated to fostering skin cancer awareness, especially with regards to melanoma.
As a team, we work together to provide at-risk individuals with preventative diagnostic care to keep skin safe and healthy through our Skin Surveillance Program.
Our Approach
The MoleSafe Skin Surveillance Program was created over the last 15 years to overcome many of the shortcomings of conventional skin cancer practices. These shortcomings have contributed to an increase in skin cancer development. Until now, protocols for following high-risk skin cancer patients included:
- Frequent follow-up
- Instant film photos of lesions that did not meet biopsy thresholds
- Measurement and verbal descriptions of lesions
- Removing any and all suspicious lesions ("When in doubt, cut it out")
Though these protocols are widely accepted by the medical community, they're not optimal. In fact, they often result in unnecessary biopsies and excisions. Furthermore, they can lead to a lack of record keeping for the remaining healthy skin, where evidence suggests that approximately 50 percent of melanomas would appear again.
At MoleSafe, our approach is proactive and comprehensive, utilizing the latest in dermatoscopic detection, diagnosis and serial monitoring technology. Our MoleSafe Skin Surveillance Program has the reliable accuracy to reveal skin cancer and melanoma at the earliest possible stage for fast, effective treatment. In fact, it is now the world's most advanced detection and surveillance system for the early detection of skin cancers, including the deadly melanoma.

Keystone PC terminals are beautiful, beefy, and blue…
Before we start, you can throw away these tired green ones… really… I'll wait.
Are they gone? Good. Lets kick-up the quality of the stuffs in your parts drawers a notch or seven.
I've been finding a lot of really great parts lately – it's interesting to note that the lions' share have come from companies in New York. Just sayin.
So… let's say that you're working on a project and you've got some header pins for power… or something. Vanilla headers will do the trick, but we can do better for robustness, versatility, and aesthetic.
Keystone's modular PC terminal blocks slip over vanilla headers – easy peasey.
They're like a dash of paprika on deviled eggs – yummy.
[ insert your favorite delicious food metaphor here if you don't like deviled eggs ]
Can you read the details on the side? It kicks-down 16A, 300V, and will take AWG 28-16 wire.
Keystone offers a stout version that connects to headers with 5mm spacing (removing even pins of standard headers works great).
…or a 3.5mm pin spacing for retrofits. Getting one of these terminals on standard headers is a tight fit – you know what they say! When all else fails, "…use the force."
These little guys are awesome and fit perfectly over standard pitch headers. Aren't they sooooo cute? Ummm… I mean – FREAKING AWESOME!
Go ahead – dress up your vanilla headers.
Drop-on a terminal, insert your wires, and tighten the screws. Done.
That's it; that's all there is to it.
Blocks of the same model can be easily chained together for longer runs.
They are a little more expensive, but the ability to remove them from PCBs without damaging them means that they are going to pay for themselves many times over. No need to heat up your soldering iron, fire-up your rework station, or plug-in your Dremel. Just un-screw, pull it off, and put the part back in your drawer.
Keystone Modular PC Terminal Blocks are available in 3.5mm and 5mm spacing configurations. They also have a screwless push-button series as well.

How are we to hear the parabolic speech of Christ and God as our shepherd? "The Lord is my shepherd…" and "I am the Good Shepherd..."? In these passages of the third week of Easter and in the image of the Good Shepherd we are contemplating belonging. We are contemplating hearing and speech: "...they will listen to my voice.".
Jesus alludes to Psalm 23 when he says he is the Good Shepherd. Within this parable we are in the midst of John's subtle but persistent high Christology. Though, Jesus takes the shepherd analogy, in a different direction than the psalmist. Jesus uses the economic investment a shepherd has in his flock to illustrate Jesus' investment in us. Investment is elided with care. The shepherd will care for the sheep and defend them from danger in ways a hired hand simply wont. The hired hand doesn't have the same investment in the sheep as the shepherd does.
What sort of investment does the Good shepherd have in his sheep? Life itself. God in Jesus Christ lays down his life, undergoes death. God invested God's very life in us. This is even greater than any human shepherd will actually do for his sheep. a Shepherd may risk more in the face of danger than the hired hand, but actual death?. Here the analogy is exploded to give us an image in which God's love for us can come through in its extra-ordinariness.
But what is the point of all this the laying down of the life to take it up again. A shepherds care, sheep responding to the shepherds voice and not the hired hand or the thief?
Is not the point love and relationship that leads to life. Is it not an appeal to continue to respond to God's voice to as the psalmist says: "Today, oh that you would hear his voice! Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness:"
God speaks to us a continual invitation into the life of the Holy Trinity. This Life will shepherd us in the way of life. But are we listening? Do we hear the voice of the Good Shepherd, and the invitation into the community the fold of God? Do we trust and listen as sheep who know the difference between the one who really cares for them and the one paid to care for them?
Are our hearts softened by the voice of the Good Shepherd and do we turn to the voice? Are we transformed by our name being spoken and do we allow are hearts to be softened thus that we can love as the Good shepherd has loved us?
Are we in the fold? or have we wondered off? Are we in the fold of the very life and love of God, Father Son and Holy Spirit?
This is our life, this is the place of transformation : hearing God's voice in our hearts, invited into the fold of God's love.

General Electric is contacting operators of its CF6-80E1 engines in Asia to check for corrosion on the powerplant's high-pressure turbine blades, following three engine shutdown events on China Airlines Airbus A330-300s.
Hot corrosion caused the incidents, in December 2010 and January 2011, in which flights turned back. The blades involved were in the first-stage high-pressure turbine of certain high-cycle CF6-80E1 engines.
"Preliminary analysis strongly indicates the corrosion damage on the blade surface may have been caused by certain environmental conditions, such as air pollution and other contaminants. The damage on the blades was extensive and they could not be repaired," says GE Aviation.
GE is contacting other CF6-80E1 operators in the region to determine if their blades have similar corrosion damage.
"We are still early in this process and are not sure if the problem has affected operators to the same extent that China Airlines has experienced," says GE.
China Airlines' engines were delivered from 2004. GE introduced a more robust blade on the engine as standard in 2008, with a resistant coating "that enhances blade life", and issued a service bulletin to operators recommending inspection for corrosion during routine engine overhauls. Blades with minimal corrosion can be repaired with a coating.
"However if the corrosion is too much, the blade should be replaced with the new improved HPT blade," says GE.
GE is working with China Airlines to retrofit the new blades. While the airline says it needs to replace only the affected blades, it is replacing all engine blades on its 18 A330s as a precaution. Seventy percent of the work, covering 41 engines, is complete and all blades will be replaced by May.
Taiwan's China Airlines adds that GE investigated its maintenance procedures and found the carrier conformed with instructions, and the operating environment was "no different" from other carriers.

Last month I ran a half marathon. It was kind of a big deal because it was my first half in eight years. And that's kind of a bigger deal because while I've always been a recreational runner, there were several years in which I became an avid racer. I trained for and ran a full marathon along with a few halves every year from 2002-2006.
The Entenmann's Half Marathon in Bayshore, NY is one of my favorite races of all time because it's small, it's flat and it's scenic. In 2003 I set a course personal record of 1:41. A couple of months before that, I ran a half PR of 1:36 in hilly Central Park.
But in 2006, without much training at all, I ran the Bayshore half with an all-time worst record of 2:08. I remember running that race so well and how I completely bottomed out after 8 or 9 miles. Like a slug, I literally dragged my butt to the finish. I'm not knocking the time, it's respectable for most people, but a finish of 2+ hours was not respectable for me. Not only had I not trained properly, but my body was in disrepair. So many consecutive years of training and running had taken its toll on me. My piriformis muscle was a constant pain my ass (literally,) and my plantars fasciitis was inflamed because of the pressure caused by excess fluid in my heel.
After the half that year, I pretty much gave up on racing. I continued to run, but nothing over a 10K. Once I accepted that my relationship with running long is one that required a lot of time and a strong commitment, it became easier for me to let go. I had entered into a serious, romantic relationship during that time, and it was difficult to balance the two. So I focused on my relationship with my now husband and stopped training.
It's been eight years and I now have two small children. After the birth of my second, I had a burning desire to get back to doing halves. It's a distance that doesn't wreck you physically and it's much easier to manage time-wise.
At first, I think I decided to train for the half purely for motivational reasons — just to get my butt out of bed and to shed the last of my baby weight. However as the spring and summer months rolled around, it became an impending reality. I had to decide if I was going to commit to the Bayshore half in October or not. As I trained throughout the summer it became something more tangible — something I knew I could achieve. And so I committed.
While out to dinner with friends over the summer, I mentioned I was training for the Bayshore Half. The next thing I knew, three others were joining me. We trained separately but kept up with each others progress on a private Facebook group.
To train for the half I'd run 4 mile tempo runs at least two or three times per week in Brooklyn. And on weekends I'd run long while out at my parents' house on Long Island. I logged several 8-11 mile runs leading up to race day.
On race day I had so many cards stacked against me. Not only was there a torrential rainstorm to contend with, but the winds were blazing, which was only compounded by the fact that the course is along the Great South Bay. It was the second day of my period, which is usually no picnic, and I showed up at the start without my iPod shuffle — something I had trained all year long with.
The storm: It was brutal. If it wasn't for my three friends who were also running it, there's a good chance I wouldn't have gotten out of bed that morning. While there was some serious groveling going on in the car on the way there, we held each other accountable and showed up to the start smiling and cracking jokes.
Aunt Flo: It sucked. Let's just leave it at that.
No music: It also sucked. I was alone in my thoughts for 13.1 MILES!!!!
Despite running in pouring rain at times, and through flooded rain and sea water up to our ankles at miles 3, 8 and 10, I finished in under 2 hours. I can't help but think that if there was no wind, my shoes weren't waterlogged and I had tunes to help push me along, I could have shaved 2-3 minutes off my time. Maybe next year.
And because the race is sponsored by Entenmann's, we refueled with some post-race doughnuts. We deserved them! Nom-nom.
And after we changed out of our wet, soppy clothes, we made good on our post-race free drink at Fatfish Bistro. The race wouldn't have been complete without a hard earned beer (or two, or three!)

St. John's Honors City's First Responders during Basketball Game at MSG
St. John's University paid tribute to the City's Police, Fire, and Sanitation departments as well as the Office of Emergency Management for heroism during Hurricane Sandy, with a half-time ceremony at the men's basketball game against Marquette at Madison Square Garden on March 9.
As New York's hometown team, St. John's welcomed hundreds of members of the City's agencies to the Red Storm's home turf for First Responders Day. The University's senior administrators gathered on center court to make a formal presentation of commemorative game balls to leaders of the NYPD, FDNY, DSNY, and OEM—thanking them for their extraordinary life-saving efforts during the most destructive hurricane in New York City history.
A crowd of 12,474 fans—the second largest turnout for a home game this season—witnessed the event during a clash that saw St. John's overcome a 10-point deficit to force overtime play before the 69-67 Marquette victory. Representing their agencies at the ceremony were OEM Commissioner Joseph F. Bruno '68L, '88HON; Fire Commissioner Salvatore J. Cassano; NYPD Deputy Inspector Thomas Burns; and Sanitation Borough Chief Myron Priester.
"St. John's is thrilled to have had representatives from New York City's four major agencies and their heroic departments join us for First Responders Day," said Rev. Donald J. Harrington, C.M., University president. "We felt this opportunity was long overdue as we joined with our fans to thank the NYPD, FDNY, OEM, and DSNY for their tireless efforts in keeping New Yorkers safe each and every day. We value our partnerships with these critical agencies."
"Like all New Yorkers we appreciate the brave and heroic efforts of the first responders," said Chris Monasch '81SVC, director of Athletics. "The link between the University and the four major agencies is significant, with St. John's men and women employed throughout the respective organizations. This event is a modest gesture to show our appreciation for the great work they do serving and protecting our city."
Representatives of the City's agencies expressed appreciation for the tribute—and for a close working relationship with the University. "St. John's clearly recognizes the important role the Fire Department played during Superstorm Sandy—as our firefighters, emergency medical technicians and paramedics operated in dangerous and unprecedented conditions to keep New Yorkers safe," said Commissioner Cassano. "The ceremony was a wonderful tribute by St. John's and celebrated the tireless work of so many before, during, and after the storm."
"We have a great relationship with the university community in this city, and St. John's is one of the major representatives of that community," noted Commissioner Bruno. "During Hurricane Sandy, St. John's had a seat at our Emergency Operations Center. I think the good work with St. John's and other universities has paid tremendous dividends. All the efforts by the private sector, in partnership with agencies of the government, led to the best result we could have in a very serious emergency."
During and after Hurricane Sandy, the University's Emergency Management Team—including representatives from nearly every academic and administrative unit—maintained contact with the Office of Emergency Management. "As a former member of the NYPD, I'm very proud to be part of St. John's effort to recognize the contributions of our city's first responders," said Thomas J. Lawrence, vice president for public safety. "It means a great deal to the men and women who put their lives on the line every day for the people of our city."

WASHINGTON — Looking for broader remedies to gun violence, Vice President Joe Biden expressed interest in existing technology that would keep a gun from being fired by anyone other than the purchaser. He said evidence shows such technology may have affected events in Connecticut last month when 20 youngsters and six teachers were gunned down inside their elementary school.
"Had the young man not had access to his mother's arsenal, he may or may not have been able to get a gun," said Biden, speaking of the gunman, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, who used weapons purchased by his mother to carry out the attack.
The vice president spoke during a portion of a meeting with video game industry representatives that was open to media coverage. It was the latest in a series of meetings he's held with interested parties on both sides of the issue as he finalizes the administration's response to the Connecticut shooting.
Biden said he hopes to send recommendations to President Barack Obama by Tuesday.
Friday's meeting came a day after a similar meeting with the powerful National Rifle Association, which rejected Obama administration proposals to limit high-capacity ammunition magazines and dug in on its opposition to a ban on assault weapons, which Obama has said he will propose to Congress. The NRA was one of several pro-gun rights groups whose representatives met with Biden during the day.
NRA President David Keene, asked Friday if his group has enough support in Congress to fend off legislation to ban sales of assault weapons, indicated it does. "I do not think that there's going to be a ban on so-called assault weapons passed by the Congress," he said on NBC's "Today."
In previewing the meeting with the video game industry, Biden recalled how the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York lamented during crime bill negotiations in the 1980s that the country was "defining deviancy down."
It's unclear what, if anything, the administration is prepared to recommend on how to address the depiction of violence in the media.
White House press secretary Jay Carney last month suggested that not all measures require government intervention.
"It is certainly the case that we in Washington have the potential, anyway, to help elevate issues that are of concern, elevate issues that contribute to the scourge of gun violence in this country, and that has been the case in the past, and it certainly could be in the future," Carney said then.
In a statement, a half-dozen entertainment groups, including the Motion Picture Association of America, said they "look forward to doing our part to seek meaningful solutions."
White House officials said the vice president didn't expect to win over the NRA and other gun groups on those key issues. But the administration was hoping to soften their opposition in order to rally support from pro-gun lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Biden's proposals are also expected to include recommendations to address mental health care and violence on television, in movies and video games. Those issues have wide support from gun-rights groups and pro-gun lawmakers.
M4d Ski11z's take: Anyone taking a close look at this issue will realize video games aren't to blame for gun violence. As a journalist, I'm looking at this issue from a neutral standpoint. I'm looking at it from the NRA's view. This quote, from NRA spokesman Wayne LaPierre, comes to mind: "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." I'm looking at it from the gamer's standpoint – video games are universal and international. Where's the worldwide gun violence?
Video games are sold in the UK, Australia, Canada, around the world, but I haven't seen any repeated gun violence in most countries listed. Blaming video games for gun violence and the violent culture is faulty. My question is this – why aren't other countries suffering the same frequency of gun violence that the U.S. suffers from? It boils down to irresponsible gun owners. I do agree, law-abiding gun owners aren't the gunmen shooting up malls, theaters and schools. However, the person responsible took the firearms from law-abiding gun owners. And yes, they are responsible for the shootings.
If video games are to blame for gun violence, why haven't Spain, France, UK and even South Korea had repeated gun violence? They also see the same violent movies ("DJango," anyone?) that we do. Yet, foreigners don't have the same access to firearms that U.S. residents have. If legislation is passed that holds the legal gun owner responsible for shootings, even if their firearm was stolen, you will see a much tighter gun control among owners.
