Well, here's an article from the Telegraph using 'Nato'; here's one which uses 'Unscom'.
It is "Cern", actually

Happy 50th Cern!

It's common in British (and thus by extension, Continental use of the English language) syntax to spell out acronyms with only the first letter capitalized. Thus, "Cern", "Nato", etc.
Okay, I'll be really easy on this one: Name the son of a U.S. president who became himself president of the USA less than 40 years after his father was kicked-out of the presidency.
One mathematics professor lamented that money buys anything -- including undeserved honors. He commented that Stanford University might as well name the building after "Donald Trump" since he is a billionaire.
All of Stanford University itself is named after a railroad robber baron.
I'm pretty sure that "possession of lock picking tools" is a crime in Michigan (unless you are a licensed locksmith?).
As far as I can tell, section 750.116 of the Michigan Penal Code prohibits the possession of "burglar's tools", defined as
any nitroglycerine, or other explosive, thermite, engine, machine, tool or implement, device, chemical or substance, adapted and designed for cutting or burning through, forcing or breaking open any building, room, vault, safe or other depository, in order to steal therefrom any money or other property, knowing the same to be adapted and designed for the purpose aforesaid
This could include lockpicks, being a "tool" adapted or designed for "breaking open" a building, but it's more likely that this statute is intended to apply to safe-cracking.
NOTE: I am not a lawyer admitted to practice in Michigan. This is not legal advice, and you should not rely upon it.
From the looks of the ugly type, he must of used word. Oh the horror. The horror.
No, that's a typewriter from 1971, honest:-)

ow many so-called conservatives are coming out against proposals at the federal level to regulate same-sex marriages, something that is clearly the purview of the states?
You mean except for this part?
Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.
I've never been able to work out the numbers though. Say I hired you fulltime, to do dungeonmaster duty on such a game. Just what sort of salary/wages should you earn, if you do the job well?
At least minimum wage. In addition, you assume certain legal liability for your dungeon master's actions. If he harrasses players, you may be the one who gets sued for harrassment.

at about $2 US, for a ml of heavy water at 99.99% pure, it will be a while for this to power our cars. At least there is an 'interesting effect' to watch for.
Gasoline would be pretty expensive too if they made it by the milliliter. The term is 'economies of scale' - practically anything becomes cheaper if it's manufactured in enormous volumes.
But what if we're all alone in this universe? Or maybe there is a God?
For many atheists, the search for extraterrestrial life takes the form of the search for a perfect life form - the parent poster's shiny happy aliens who will make everything okay. In essence, they are still searching for God on the other side of the clouds.
Other atheists are zealous advocates of the "Man's Destiny in the Stars" ideal of human progress, and search for God by believing that Man himself can become divine.
Adherents of the three great Western religions, on the other hand, look for God inside the human soul, not in the physical universe.
Sort of, the Louisanna Purchase was gridded out into townships.
Actually, the organization of the West into townships began with the Land Ordinance of 1785, and first applied to the Northwest Territory, northwest of the Ohio. The same system was applied to the Louisiana Territory when it was later purchased.
It's remarkable to look out the window if you are flying across the Ohio River near Pittsburgh - the farms are laid out in chaotic geometrical shapes from Maine all the way to the Ohio - and then at Steubenville, Ohio, along the river, it becomes an even grid towards the western horizon. That's the point of origin for the entire West.
Take a look at Tsushima (an island off the coast of northern Kyushu, Japan, just south of South Korea). It is almost complete lit up. But Tsushima is mainly mountains, and fairly sparsely populated... There is nothing there that would generate the amount of light that the image suggests....
Any idea why this might be?
That isn't actually Tsushima, it's Monster Island. The UN, in cooperation with the Russian government and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, keeps a constant surveillance vigil on the indigenous monsters such as Godzilla, Mothra, and Gamera. (After 1954, nobody's taking any chances). This necessitates a lot of bright light, which is what you're seeing in the pictures.
Possibly the route of the Orient Express? I'd guess that populated areas grew up alongside the railway.
The "Orient Express" was a luxury train which ran from Paris to Istanbul. What you've identified is the great Trans-Siberian Railway, leading from western Russia all the way to Vladivostok. It was indeed the corridor for Russian settlement in Siberia.
