TIME.com Daily Rx: New Cure for the Blues: Get Old: "The rest of the findings were more surprising, though. The researchers believe that the reason for greater late-life contentment is not necessarily improved circumstances. Old folks, after all, are often struggling with illness, widowhood or getting by on a pension or a fixed income. Rather, a lifetime of experiences has simply taught them to manage problems with greater aplomb—likely more than they probably expected they'd acquire."

Hawking must communicate using an electronic speech synthesizer, and he was asked why he used a voice with an American accent.

'The voice I use is a very old hardware speech synthesizer made in 1986,' Hawking said. 'I keep it because I have not heard a voice I like better and because I have identified with it.'

"GREAT JOB DONE BY OUR OWN LONGVIEW HILLS FISHING CLUB"
(click on picture to enlarge, then arrow back)









This morning five and only five members of the Longview Hills Fishing Club went up to our local Big Creek Reservoir for the monthly clean up. It took us a few hours to work both the upper and lower area, roads and all. This is the second time this has been done by our club and you can see there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. Someone had even dumped a riding lawn mower, plus there is still trash that we could not get to, bank was to steep along the road. I felt to put this on the main LVH's Web Site to hope draw some interest by people to come onboard next time to help out, the more people there are the less time it takes to do this job. You do not have to be a member of the Fishing Club, just a citizen who cares enough to try and keep our planet a little cleaner. How times have changed, where has people don't care where they dump their trash. Thank you Longview Hills Fishing Club for doing this civic duty. GREAT JOB!!

Photo in the News: Cat Chases Bear Up Tree: "June 13, 2006—Perhaps not since the Cowardly Lion has an animal's appearance been so at odds with its attitude.

On June 4 a black bear wandered into a West Milford, New Jersey, back yard, was confronted by a 15-pound (7-kilogram) tabby cat … and fled up a neighbor's tree. Hissing at the base of the tree, Jack the clawless cat kept the bear at bay for about 15 minutes, then ran him up another tree after an attempted escape.

Finally, Jack's owner, Donna Dickey, called the cat inside, and the timorous trespasser disappeared back into the woods."

Newport News-Times: Diploma delivered half-century later:

By Steve Card Of the News-Times
He would have been a member of Newport High School's Class of 1954, but William LaForce instead chose to leave school and join the Navy. And so in 1952, at the age of 17, LaForce found himself aboard a troop transport ship, shuttling military personnel back and forth to Korea during the war. When the rest of his classmates were graduating from Newport High School in the spring of 1954, LaForce was stationed at a Naval air station in Japan.
