Ruth''s Wonderful Song is a true story of a young woman who loved to play her bright yellow piano. She wrote a wonderful song that people are still listening to more than 80 years after she wrote it. Tom, Ruth''s son, tells the story of how Ruth wrote her wonderful song and what happened next. Adults may enjoy reading all about Ruth Lowe in the new book "Until I Smile At You" by Peter Jennings at untilismileatyou.com.

"Until I Smile At You" reveals for the first time the life of one of the most enduring musical talents in the 20th century: a young Canadian girl named Ruth Lowe, who wrote a song that dynamited Frank Sinatra''s career into the stratosphere in 1940, "I''ll Never Smile Again." The song charted on Billboard for an unheard of 12 weeks and has been recorded by more than 150 performers around the world. In fact, it''s still being recorded today (the book opens in studio as famed Blood, Sweat & Tears singer, David Clayton-Thomas, records his own unique version). Ruth Lowe has been called "One of the Architects of the American Ballad," she is the recipient of a Grammy Award, her songs have been inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and she''s about to be added to the Great American Songbook Foundation Hall of Fame. As Nancy Sinatra says in the book''s Foreword, "There''s a reason why ''I''ll Never Smile Again'' has endured: it was a perfect song, interpreted by the perfect singer, at the perfect time." The book reveals that Ruth Lowe was no one-hit-wonder: she went on to write Sinatra''s theme song, "Put Your Dreams Away" (the last song played at his funeral) plus 50 other tunes for Broadway and Hollywood. ("Until I Smile At You" reveals the humorous story of how she had to write Sinatra''s theme song in under 24 hours.) Amazingly, no one has been privy to Ruth Lowe''s life story until now. Peter Jennings, the book''s author (who has written six other books), was personally selected by her family to write "Until I Smile At You." And there''s this to add to Ruth''s narrative: in today''s era of women claiming their full rights, consider that she was one of the earliest liberated females who worked in a man''s world (Tin Pan Alley) and never let her gender, or her attractive good looks, get in the way of her outstanding talent. One of the interesting features of "Until I Smile At You" is Peter Jennings'' interviews with such luminaries as Bernie Taupin (Elton John''s lyricist for over 50 years), Sir Tim Rice (who writes lyrics for Andrew Lloyd Webber), Alan Bergman (who has written award-winning songs for Barbra Streisand, Sinatra, etc.), the late Frank Sinatra Jr., music historian Chuck Granata, Sinatra biographer, James Kaplan, and many others... all of whom cast a glow on Ruth''s talents. Also featured are stories from Ruth''s late sister Mickey Cohen, who regales the author with details about how Ruth, whom she adored, wrote "the song." There is also an interview with noted businessman/philanthropist Seymour Schulich who worked with Ruth''s second husband, Nat Sandler. (It was MGM that wanted to make a movie of Ruth''s life back in the day, staring Judy Garland, but Nat nixed the deal because he didn''t want her clinging to the past.) With the world facing increased levels of stress and anxiety, this is an ideal time for a story like "Until I Smile At You" with its positive, feel-good story of resilience.

He knew it as soon as he had stood in the clearing on the shore of the Rappahannock River, having just arrived in Virginia in 1608. The house would be built here and nowhere else. The seemingly eternal history of the house would begin here and continue with all of those who would follow in the coming centuries. The house wasn''t ordinary to those who lived in it. It only seemed that way to those who passed by and only gave it a passing glance, how could they have known the experiences, the memories, and the history of all the people who called it home that were contained within its walls. Having stood as a sentinel against all that nature and people could throw against it. This house has seen it all. From before the landing of the Europeans in the New World, to the establishment of the colony, the birth of a new nation, the beginning of new lives, the horror of lives cut short by evil, to people just trying to survive in a new age. This collection of wood and bricks and mortar gel together to become something, to become part of someone, someone''s dreams, someone''s past, this house of voices, voices of this house past.

In 1938, 13 year old Berthold Skurmann, an Austrian Jew, set off on foot from Vienna to Amsterdam, looking to sail to England, where he would find a way to save his family from Nazi death camps. Without food, money or a map, he evaded Nazis for 3 months, walking over 1100 km, with only a compass, courage and a fierce determination to survive.

Biological systems have long been known to utilize two processes for energy conservation: substrate-level phosphorylation and electron transport phosphorylation. Recently, a new bioenergetic process was discovered that increases ATP yields: flavin-based electron bifurcation (FBEB). This process couples an energetically favorable reaction with an energetically unfavorable one to conserve energy in the organism. Currently, the mechanisms of enzymes that perform FBEB are unknown. In this work, NADH-dependent reduced ferredoxin: NADP+ oxidoreductase (Nfn), a FBEB enzyme, is used as a model system to study this phenomenon. Nfn is a heterodimeric enzyme that reversibly couples the exergonic reduction of NADP+ by reduced ferredoxin with the endergonic reduction of NADP+ by NADH. Protein film electrochemistry (PFE) has been utilized to characterize the catalytic properties of three ferredoxins, possible substrates for Nfn enzymes, from organisms that perform FBEB: Pyrococcus furiosus (PfFd), Thermotoga maritima (TmFd), and Caldicellulosiruptor bescii (CbFd). Additionally, PFE is utilized to characterize three Nfn enzymes from two different archaea in the family Thermococcaceae: two from P. furiosus (PfNfnI and PfXfn), and one from Thermococcus sibiricus (TsNfnABC). Key results are as follows. The reduction potentials of the [4Fe4S]2+/1+ couple for all three ferredoxins are pH independent and modestly temperature dependent, and the Marcus reorganization energies of PfFd and TmFd are relatively small, suggesting optimized electron transfer. Electrocatalytic experiments show that PfNfnI is tuned for NADP+ reduction by both fast rates and a low binding constant for NADP+. A PfNfnI variant engineered to have only cysteines as coordinating ligands for its [FeS] clusters has significantly altered rates of electrocatalysis, substrate binding, and FBEB activity. This suggests that the heteroligands in the primary coordination sphere of the [FeS] clusters play a role in controlling catalysis by Nfn. Furthermore, a variant of PfNfnI lacking its small subunit, designed to probe allosteric effects at the bifurcating site, has altered substrate binding at the NADP(H) binding site, i.e. the bifurcation site. PfXfn and TsNfnABC, representing different types of Nfn enzymes, have different electrocatalytic properties than PfNfnI, including slower rates of FBEB. This suggests that Nfn enzymes vary significantly over phylogenetically similar organisms despite relatively high primary sequence homology.

It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won''t. It''s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere." - Barack ObamaPresident Barack Obama is the 44th and current president of the United States, and the first African American to serve as U.S. president. First elected to the presidency in 2008, he won a second term in 2012.President Obama has inspired and given hope to many around the world. His words and his actions are ones that people need during the times we are currently living in."Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled." - Barack Obama

I''m not saying the occasional guy won''t still go to the fridge, open you up, take a sniff, shrug and take a sip anyway: but it''s all downhill from here."- Barney StinsonBarney Stinson is awesome. How do we know? Because the supremely confident womanizer played by Neil Patrick Harris on How I Met Your Mother never lets anyone forget it. The show may be about the road to romantic love for main character Ted Mosby, but the most entertaining parts of any episode are the hilarious one-liners and bold proclamations made by Barney. "Okay, pep talk! You can do this, but to be more accurate, you probably can''t. You''re way out of practice and she''s way too hot for you. So, remember, it''s not about scoring. It''s about believing you can do it, even though you probably can''t. Go get ''em, tiger!"- Barney Stinson

The story of a brutal shark attack that cost a woman her arm and much of her leg, and her death-defying recovery. One of the most dreadful experiences humans fear is a shark attack. This horrifying agony is exactly what happened to Nicole Moore, a nurse from Orangeville, Ontario. It was an assault all the more brutal for being so unlikely — she was standing in waist-deep water at a Mexican resort. She came very close to dying, losing 60 percent of her blood from deep bites on her arm and leg, and was rushed to a hospital where she received a questionable level of medical care that left her and her family confronting physical and mental anguish. Surviving gruesome misery, including the amputation of her left arm and attempts to rebuild her disfigured leg, she has fought on to become a source of inspiration for those facing seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Cybersecurity is rapidly emerging as a high-priority policy challenge for the Australian Government. This rise reflects growing international concern about the impact of malicious cyberactivity. Notwithstanding recent government policy announcements, this paper, authored by Peter Jennings and Tobias Feakin, argues that significantly more needs to be done to ensure that Australia has the right policies in place to manage cybersecurity risk. The paper discusses the organisational problems that have slowed Australia’s work to develop a simple but effective cyber policy, and contrasts our experience with steps taken by our closest allies, the US and UK. It recommends things the government should do to develop a clear policy framework. Much of this work will need to be done quickly after the 2013 federal election so that Australia can play an influential role in shaping a global approach to cybersecurity.
