Book review:The Other Einstein
book by Marie Benedict review by Judy Piper Mileva Maric, an intelligent woman from Eastern Europe, enters the Swiss Federal Polytenic in 1896 to study mathematics. Because of her gender and a limp from birth, she tries to stay in the background. However, one of her classmates is Albert Einstein who is not as good at mathematics. She lives in a pension with three other women studying at universities. One of them, Helene, would remain in contact with her throughout her life. She does most the mathematical work for Albert Einstein theories. In fact, many believe that she had a bigger role in his work than he let on. Mileva thrives on her discussions with other scientists. Even after they marry and have children, Mileva still wants to be part of the scientific community. But what was hard to accept was his treatment of her in regards to her contributions to him and his work. You do not have to be a scientist or mathematician to enjoy this book. It is about their relationship and will give you a new insight into this famous person.

In one of the most dramatic upsets in Olympic history, the underdog U.S. hockey team, made up of college players, defeats the four-time defending gold-medal winning Soviet team at the XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York. The Soviet squad, previously regarded as the finest in the world, fell to the youthful American team 4-3 before a frenzied crowd of 10,000 spectators. Two days later, the Americans defeated Finland 4-2 to clinch the hockey gold.
The Soviet team had captured the previous four Olympic hockey golds, going back to 1964, and had not lost an Olympic hockey game since 1968. Three days before the Lake Placid Games began, the Soviets routed the U.S. team 10-3 in an exhibition game at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The Americans looked scrappy, but few blamed them for it–their average age, after all, was only 22, and their team captain, Mike Eruzione, was recruited from the obscurity of the Toledo Blades of the International League. Few had high hopes for the seventh-seeded U.S. team entering the Olympic tournament, but the team soon silenced its detractors, making it through the opening round of play undefeated, with four victories and one tie, thus advancing to the four-team medal round. The Soviets, however, were seeded No. 1 and as expected went undefeated, with five victories in the first round. Tdap Vaccines Available at Sen. Scavello's OfficePen Argyl, PA – State Senator Mario Scavello will continue his Healthy Living Series in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Health to offer free Tdap vaccine shots at his Pen Argyl District Office on Thursday, February 23 from 10 AM to 11:30 AM (2 N.

By clicking on the photo you can see and hear activity at an eagle nest - live.
Season three began December 28 at the Hanover nest. The cameras and audio equipment installed for the 2016 season continue to provide excellent views and audio of this eagle family. The live stream began December 17, 2016 shortly after the installation of two new cameras and audio equipment. Eggs were laid on February 18 and 21. March 28 one of the eggs hatched; the nestling died two days later, perhaps injured by a branch being moved in the nest. The other egg never hatched and remained n the nest until May 23 when one of the adults removed the remnants from the nest.

Can You Believe It?Police apprehend "suspicious" cows outside resident's door
(UPI) -- Police in Connecticut warned of "suspicious males going door to door selling dairy products" after a pair of escaped cows were snapped by a resident's front door.
The Suffolk Police Department shared a photo to Facebook Sunday morning of the two escaped steers hanging out by the front stoop of a home. "Early this morning officers responded to a complaint of 2 suspicious males going door to door trying to sell dairy products," the Facebook post said. "Officers determined that the 2 individuals did not have a solicitors permit and were apprehended after a short foot pursuit. We would like to remind everyone to NEVER open your doors to any unfamiliar cattle." Sgt. Geoffrey Miner said police were summoned to the neighborhood by someone who noticed "some cows walking on the side of the road and in people's yards" while driving in the North Street/Rt. 75 area. "When we pulled up that's right where they were when the picture was taken, at that person's front door," Miner told Western Mass News. "They came from a farm a couple of houses over, so with significant encouragement we herded them back to their pen, and got them into their enclosure," Miner said. He said the cattle didn't have to work hard to escape. "The cows got out because part of the fence was broken. It's an electrical wire fence, electricity was off, one of the wires was broken, so plenty of opportunity to escape," Miner said. Home Decorating...Bathroom design trends that

Please hang a Black Balloon outside of your home or business to show awareness for all the ones we have lost to addiction. This is a sign that you have been affected by drug addiction or an overdose death. It is a sign that we are all in this together!
This is the second annual event, last year it was a huge success with over 40,000
participants. The Addicts Mom supports this event. If people know of this event, statistics, unfortunately tell me there would be well over 40,000 balloons in PA. alone.
East Bangor UMC Lenten Bible Study
The East Bangor United Methodist Community Church is offering a Lenten Bible Study, "The Seedy Side of Jacob". We all know Jacob, the highly-regarded patriarch of the Israelites. From Jacob came the offspring who became "The Twelve Tribes of Israel," who were the foundation of the Jewish movement. Jacob was, and is, highly revered. He was also human - very human. And in his humanness his quest for power and authority often got in the way of his decision-making process. During Lent, we will take a look at the less-than-admirable side of Jacob in the quest to embrace our own humanity and seek alternatives to accomplishing God's will without resorting to cleverness and self-centeredness. The sessions will be held on Mondays at 7:00 p.m. from March 6 - April 3. For more info. call 610-588-4453, or visit www.ebumc.org.
