Limerick Day, May 12th
It filled Galileo with mirth
To watch his two rocks fall to Earth.
He gladly proclaimed,
"Their rates are the same,
And quite independent of girth!"
Then Newton announced in due course
His own law of gravity's force:
"It goes, I declare,
As the inverted square
Of the distance from object to source."
But remarkably, Einstein's equation
Succeeds to describe gravitation
As spacetime that's curved,
And it's this that will serve
As the planets' unique motivation.

Yet the end of the story's not written;
By a new way of thinking we're smitten.
We twist and we turn,
Attempting to learn
The Superstring Theory of Witten!
For every marriage then is best in tune,
When that the wife is May,
the husband June.
~Rowland Watkyns
Cinco De Mayo
Cinco
De
M a yo
commemorates
the
Mexican Army’s victory
over the more numerous
French troops in Puebla, Mexico, on May 5th,
1862. Napoleon III, the emperor of France, sent
6,000 troops to Mexico in his plan to extend his
power in Latin America. When the French Army
reached Puebla, they were met by 4,800 Mexican
soldiers. Even though the Mexicans were
outnumbered, they managed to defeat the French.
Today, Cinco De Mayo celebrations promote
cultural awareness and are celebrated with
Mexican food, Mariachi bands and dancers.

acknowledge them; but do not let them
master you. Let them teach you
patience, sweetness, insight ...
When we do the best we can, we
never know what miracle is wrought in
our life, or in the life of another.

outcome. ~Patch Adams

Medical Memo: May is National Mental Health Month
There are many different conditions that affect
mental health, such as depression, dementia,
anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and
schizophrenia. It’s often hard for those who aren’t
familiar with mental illness to imagine it. But it is
estimated that every year, about 61.5 million
American adults suffer from some mental illness.
Mood disorders such as depression are the
third most common cause of hospitalization in the
U.S. for both youth and adults ages 18 to 44.
Individuals living with serious mental illness face
an increased risk of having chronic medical
conditions, and adults living with serious mental
illness die on average 25 years earlier than other
Americans, largely due to treatable medical
conditions.
Over 50 percent of students with a mental
health condition age 14 and older who are served by
special education drop out − the highest dropout
rate of any disability group.
Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in
the U.S. (more common than homicide) and the
third leading cause of death for ages 15 to 24
years. More than 90 percent of those who die by
suicide had one or more mental disorders.
Although military members comprise less than
1 percent of the U.S. population, veterans represent
20% of suicides nationally. Each day, about 22
veterans die from suicide
Approximately 18.1% of American adults −
about 42 million people − live with anxiety
disorders, such as panic disorder, obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD), and phobias. About 9.2 million
adults have co-occurring mental health and
addiction disorders.
But there is hope! Great strides in
neurobiology and pharmaceuticals are promising a
brighter future for those plagued with mental
illness.
