Too bad: In an age when Americans still periodically swoon for imperial presidents, a little sacred-cow tipping would be a public service. Robert Greenwald, a left-wing documentarian who read an early version of the script, is leading the fight to discredit the project. Gree...

How will you celebrate? I caught the last half of Nostradamus 2012 on the The History Channel this weekend and was temporarily freaked out. I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready for the world to end in a few years. This Earth Day, you’ll find me recycling paper, reusing old bottles and even unplugging my laptop so that I can relax and reboot by spending more time with Mother Nature. After all, it’s also almost Mother’s Day (May 9th, in case you were wondering). Besides scaring me to be more environmentally-friendly, the show also got me thinking about the importance of appreciating the now and planning for the future; two concepts you’ll see intertwined in this week’s round up. However you celebrate the day, ...

Due to the lingering effects of laryngitis, instruction in the perfect passive system of Latin verbs and in the interrogative pronoun of ancient Greek is short; two students ask to watch a DVD of “Decisive Battles,” the revolt of Spartacus recreated with videogame effects, courtesy of the History Channel. I go to hear the tail end of two guest speakers on autism genetics (why, the one day that the speakers on this topic come to campus, do I have to be sick and on a back-to-back schedule?). Then I go to explain to a colleague why I wo...

That Kool Beanz inventiveness now extends to pastry chef Kim Bertron (pictured), whose design for a syringe won her first prize in the History Channel's "Invent Now Challenge" in March. Today's Tallahassee Democrat profiles Bertron and talks to her about her winning entry, the SimpleShot syringe.The SimpleShot can be preloaded with both a drug, in powdered form, and a diluting solution. The two substances are stored in separate compartments of the syringe until a dose is required. Then the user needs only to press the plunger, piercing the membrane separating drug from solution and - presto! - it's ready to g...
