  1. Excerpt: 'The Book of My Lives' by Aleksandar Hemon

    I do not know how old I was when I learned to play chess. I could not have been older than 8, because I still have a chess board on whose side my father inscribed, with a soldering iron, “Saša Hemon 1972.” I loved the board more than chess — it was one of the first things I owned. Its materiality was enchanting to me: the smell of burnt wood that lingered long after my father had branded it; the rattle of the thickly varnished pieces inside, the smacking sound they made when I set them down, the board's hollow wooden echo. I can even recall the taste — the queen's tip was pleasantly suckable; the pawns' round heads, not unlike nipples, were sweet. The board is at our old place in Sarajevo, and, even if I haven't played a game on it in decades, it is still my most cherished possession, providing incontrovertible evidence that there once lived a boy who used to be me.

  3. Data reveal that the Higgs boson still looks like a Higgs boson

    It seems increasingly likely that the subatomic particle ferreted out by physicists at the Large Hadron Collider&nbsp; near Geneva last year is indeed a Higgs boson, scientists said Wednesday after a day of talks at a physics conference in Italy.

  4. Resident inventor patents game for all ages

    By his own estimate, 72-year-old Ron Stirtz has been innovating and inventing for the last 60 years. The Nebraska native, who has a home in western Oregon but spends the bulk of the year at the Rio Bend RV Parks on the outskirts of El Centro, has patented, among other things, a shock-absorbent midsole for running shoes which was picked up by Adidas. He has also dabbled in fishing tackle and in creating the proverbial &ldquo;better mousetrap&rdquo;, but his most recent venture has taken him into new territory &mdash; that of the family picnic, the lazy Sunday, or the rainy day indoors.
