The God Letter, an autographed letter signed by Albert Einstein ("A. Einstein") to Eric Gutkind at Princeton, January 3, 1954 is shown in this image provided by Christie's in New York, U.S., October 4, 2018.

A photo of Mackenzie Ames is posted on the FH Foundation web site above her column entitled “A New FH Family.”This week a New York Times story introduced readers to a young woman with a genetic condition called familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), which is characterized by high cholesterol levels and early heart disease.

ByStefanos Chen Oct. 5, 2018 A few years ago, the gateways to the courtyard of Peter Bracichowicz’s co-op in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, were empty.

Predators open season with win in New York
Updated at 12:30 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 5, 2018. NEW YORK — The Nashville Predators liked the way a lot of things went in their season opener, and particularly the fact that they came away with a win. P.K. Subban scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period, and the Predators held on to beat New York 3-2 Thursday night and spoil the debut of new Rangers coach David Quinn. "I thought we played a pretty good game," Subban said. "For our team, we're at our best when we're disciplined. At the end, I think we would've liked to shut it down a little sooner and quicker and a little easier, but we got it done." Subban fired a one-timer from beyond the inside edge of the right circle in front of the blue line at 3:28 of the final period to put Nashville ahead. Filip Forsberg and Colton Sissons also scored, and Pekka Rinne stopped 34 shots for the Predators, the reigning Presidents' Trophy winners with 117 points last season. "Every time you start the season, you always feel … [Read more...] about Predators open season with win in New York
