Not sure if it is true or not, but it went something like this: This team was determined to be the first ski team from their country to bring home some medals. They studied every book about skiing. They read up on the proper techniques, equipment, stance, timing - everything.  Later they practiced on simulators. On the flight to the Olympic Games they were already counting their medals. Only one problem: They never actually skied on an Olympic course before! They hardly skied at all on any course.

Just days ago came the news that [John Karlin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Karlin), a veteran of [Bell Labs](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Labs) and the man directly responsible for All-Digit Dialing and, indirectly, [DTMF](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-tone_multi-frequency_signaling) and the modern telephone keypad, passed away on January 28 at the age of 94.

Boom! Pow! The Rise and Fall of the Amusement Arcade Many of us grew up spending our Friday nights pumping dimes and quarters into pinball machines or Space Invaders games down at the local arcade. These arcades served as sanctums, meeting places, king's courts and on-the-job-training for a lot of budding teen electrical engineers (and a lot of others, too). Now, these places are pretty much gone, sanitized out of existence or supplanted by the rise of the console game and the embrace of the living room couch. Ah, but there was a time...

"We tried others, but we're keeping the Omnia.11" says Bill Sullivan, KQ103's chief engineer. "We are most impressed with the clarity of this unit."
