Happy Washington Crossing Day!
Happy Washington Crossing Day!
On December 25, 1776, General George Washington led his small army across the Delaware River against the Hessian troops stationed in Trenton, New Jersey. Washington and his men crossed the river at McConkey's Ferry in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, what is now known as Washington Crossing State Park. Each year, the park celebrates the anniversary of Washington's crossing with a live reenactment. Three different units crossed the Delaware River that night, but the division led by General Washington was the only one to reach the meeting point at the appointed time.
• While the victory was not hugely significant strategically, it helped raise the spirits of the Americans.
• There are several historical inconsistencies with the painting of the crossing by Emanuel Leutze. For instance, Leutze's river was modeled after the Rhine River in Germany, rather than the actual Delaware River, and the flag depicted in the painting is known as the "Betsy Ross" flag, which the Army would not have carried at the time of the crossing.
• Future President James Monroe and Chief Justice John Marshall were both part of the Continental Army at the time of the crossing. Monroe is depicted holding the flag in Leutze's painting.

A mock mission to Mars
The isolation experiment, a
mock Mars mission, complete with research work and lava-field expeditions in
simulated spacesuits, has reached its half-way point. You might expect the rest
of the sojourn to be a downhill coast. However, as the crew settles into the
third month in its domed habitat on Mauna Loa, a certain concern looms large.
The psychological forecast is mixed with a chance of declining morale, increased
irritability and dwindling motivation.
To be sure, the dire predictions are not specific to this mission or crew,
which has got on remarkably well so far. They stem from the so-called
third-quarter phenomenon, a documented condition experienced by members of
isolated teams on long hauls in harsh places like the Antarctic. It occurs after
a crew has got used to (or simply endured) the rigours and stresses of a
mission’s early period, but when the end is not yet nigh.

Google, Facebook and Microsoft, three of the tech giants accused of opening their servers to the US authorities as part of a secret surveillance program, have appealed to the US government to let them disclose the requests they receive to pass on user data. The companies have all hotly denied giving the National Security Agency "back-door" access to their clients' personal information, and now say that they want greater transparency at the front door, too. We have nothing to hide, they insist. Does the government?

NSA, FBI Tapping Into Servers of U.S. Internet Companies
The National Security Agency and
the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S.
Internet companies, extracting audio and video chats, photographs, e-mails,
documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track one target or trace
a whole network of associates, according to a top-secret document obtained by
The Washington Post. The program, code-named PRISM, has not been made public
until now.
