several life sentences at a maximum-security federal penitentiary.
    Recently, some of his personal items were auctioned off by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the proceeds of which would go to the victims’ families, who had no intention of ever forgiving Ted Kaczynski. It must be said that Ted Kaczynski did not ask for their forgiveness.
    Some of the items offered were the notorious hooded sweatshirt he often wore, a number of tools, including a wrench, and two Smith Corona portable typewriters, one of which he had used to type the manifesto. The FBI would not verify the authenticity of the other typewriter. In other words, they could not unquestionably state that Kaczynski had written anything of note upon it. Nevertheless, the winning bid for this other Smith Corona was well over eleven thousand dollars.

    An employee at AJ’s Fine Foods, 2805 E. Skyline Drive, said two females had approached the store’s outside Christmas display area. The younger one grabbed two plastic lambs from a Nativity scene, and both women fled.
    Law enforcement was able to obtain an address using the vehicle’s license plate number; however, the address did not actually exist.

Get Out As Early As You Can

    A nursing home is not like one of those exclusive institutions like a Mountain Oyster Club or a Wharf Rat Club, where it’s only members (and only men) and where accomplished and important people dress down and pretend to be ordinary fellows.
    Of course not, might be your response.
    A nursing home is more progressive. Both men and women are represented, some of whom even fall in love of a sort. Formerly very important people mingle with former homemakers and mechanics.
    They tend not to talk about their previous lives, neither the little hens nor the senators, because it does not matter now.
    Whereas members of the elite and transitory clubs on the outside of the door, which will prove to be very much unlocked, are only pretending to be modest.

    One should not define God in human language nor anthropomorphize that which is ineffable and indescribable.
    We can only know what God is not, not what God is.
    We can never speak about God rationally as we speak about ordinary things, but that does not mean we should give up thinking about God. We must push our minds to the limits of what we could know, descending ever deeper into the darkness of unknowing.

Naked Mind

    Dr. Lucas Mix and his wife were driving in their car outside Laramie, Wyoming. The next thing they knew was that they were in the wilds of Mexico, thousands of miles away, although only twenty-four hours had passed. They had no idea how they had come to be there.
    Of course, the usual questions arose: Who are we? What have we become? Wherein and why have we been cast? Whereto are we hastening? From what have we been freed?
    The only clue was that their car was scorched on the outside.

    South Korean scientists say they have engineered four dogs to glow red, using cloning techniques.
    The four, all named Ruppy—a combination of “ruby” and “puppy”—look like typical canines by daylight. But they glow red under ultraviolet light, and their nails and abdomens, which have thin skin, look red even to the naked eye.
    Professor Lee Byeong-chun of Seoul National University, the leader of the research team, called them the world’s first transgenic dogs carrying fluorescent genes, an achievement that goes beyond just their glowing.
    “What’s significant in this work is not the dogs possessing red colors but that we planted genes into them,” the professor said.

    Some parents of children with cognitive disabilities are seeking out cosmetic procedures to make the children appear younger than they are.
    Parents who inquire about surgery want either to align the child’s visual appearance with his or her mental capacity or intellectual age, or erase a
