A new report by Nielsen Online that takes into account Internet usage at both home and work shows the increase from a year-ago figure of 57.6 million average monthly unique users, the Newspaper Association of America said.

Courier Staff Report

Plastic kitchenware which fell on a dishwasher's heating element washed away about 20 minutes of classes as James Logan High School students started their second semester.

According to Principal Mistee Hightower, "a piece of plastic fell onto the hot coils during the drying cycle" of a dishwasher in the 300 building. "It melted and set off the fire alarms," she said.

The high school had been in session for about three minutes of the new semester when the alarm sounded to send students to their evacuation areas.

"Master of Illusion"
For: Nintendo DS
From: Nintendo
ESRB Rating: Everyone (mild suggestive themes)

Unless you're hopelessly jaded and regardless of your feelings about magic and magic-themed video games, "Master of Illusion" is capable of amazing you in ways you never suspected a Nintendo DS could.

Take, for instance, the Vanishing Card trick. Your DS scatters a handful of face-down cards on the screen and asks you to select five with the stylus. All at once, the cards are revealed, and the game asks you to pick one and focus on it before turning the cards back over. No buttons are pressed nor screens touched during this step; you merely look at a card and commit it to memory.

From wikipedia:
Ernst Eduard Kummer (29 January 1810 - 14 May 1893) was a German mathematician. Highly skilled in applied mathematics, Kummer trained German army officers in ballistics; afterwards, he taught for 10 years in a Gymnasium (the German equivalent of high school), where he inspired the mathematical career of Leopold Kronecker.

Kummer was born in Sorau, Brandenburg (then part of Prussia). He retired from teaching and from mathematics in 1890 and died three years later in Berlin.
