OK...what does it mean when it says they are kings from the East? Bethlehem was already in the Middle East...so what's east of the east? That would have to be China, but in all the pictures I've seen of the 3 kings- two look Mideastern and one looks African-they don't look Chinese at all.

that says "You are what you experience" OR you would rather say "Experience is what shapes people" ?? In life we know many sincere, generous, good, people who in spite of their goodness becomes victim of the most devastating situations we feel is unfair and we wonder “God why this thing has to happen to them when bad guys are enjoying good life….??” Could we still say that they're what they experience ??

Dr. Daniel Hale Williams in 1893? No!
Dr. Williams repaired a wound not in the heart muscle itself, but in the sac surrounding it, the pericardium. This operation was not the first of its type: Henry Dalton of St. Louis performed a nearly identical operation two years earlier, with the patient fully recovering. Decades before that, the Spaniard Francisco Romero carried out the first successful pericardial surgery of any type, incising the pericardium to drain fluid compressing the heart.

Surgery on the actual human heart muscle, and not just the pericardium, was first successfully accomplished by Ludwig Rehn of Germany when he repaired a wounded right ventricle in 1896. More than 50 years later came surgery on the open heart, pioneered by John Lewis, C. Walton Lillehei (often called the "father of open heart surgery") and John Gibbon (who invented the heart-lung machine).

I think that Markus Zusak's "The Book Thief" was the best book of this year and the best book I have read. What do you all think?

What is your opinion on these....

# In "Into Thin Air" what was Krakauer most worried about as he began his descent of Mount Everest?

1. the approaching storm.
2. his dwindling oxygen supply.
3. his weakness from exhaustion.
4. the climbers who were on the way up.

# In "Into Thin Air" one reason for Krakauer's failure to recognize that the guide, Andy Harris, was in trouble was that

1. Andy's behavior was totally normal.
2. Krakauer had been told never to question a guide's judgment.
3. Mike Groom insisted that Andy was fine.
4. there was no way of proving that what Andy said was wrong.

# In "Into Thin Air" Krakauer did not stay at the summit long because he

1. knew he would need more oxygen soon.
2. was disappointed with the experience.
3. wanted to catch up with his group.
4. wasn't thinking very clearly at that point.

Filament for Light Bulb
Lewis Latimer invented the carbon filament in 1881 or 1882? No!
English chemist/physicist Joseph Swan experimented with a carbon-filament incandescent light all the way back in 1860, and by 1878 had developed a better design which he patented in Britain. On the other side of the Atlantic, Thomas Edison developed a successful carbon-filament bulb, receiving a patent for it (#223898) in January 1880, before Lewis Latimer did any work in electric lighting. From 1880 onward, countless patents were issued for innovations in filament design and manufacture (Edison had over 50 of them). Neither of Latimer's two filament-related patents in 1881 and 1882 were among the most important innovations, nor did they make the light bulb last longer, nor is there reason to believe they were adopted outside Hiram Maxim's company where Latimer worked at the time. (He was not hired by Edison's company until 1884, primarily as a draftsman and an expert witness in patent litigations).

Latimer also did not come up with the first screw socket for the light bulb or the first book on electric lighting.
