After a short but stressful in-limbo state the Czech Republic is still officially without any recorded case of a swine flu. The three Czechs in question who recently came back from Mexico are thankfully not infected as the medical test have confirmed. However, more Czech tourists are coming back from their trip to Mexico this Saturday on May 2nd and they will be informed about the swine flu symptoms on the board of the plane itself. If in doubt, they may chose to be examined by a doctor at the Ruzyne airport.
Since we are on that hockey roll, I have got a juicy hockey news for you. A well-known Slovakian hockey player Ladsilav Scurko was arrested for a murder. The 23-year-old star confessed to killing a referee Marek Liptaj from Poprad with 14 knife stabs in January 2008 at a highway roadhouse. He buried the corpse in the forest which was discovered 11 months later by the police. It is not yet known why he killed this man but he is currently facing about 20 years to a life time of jail sentence. It is too bad since Ladislav was a very gifted player. Not only did he play for the Western Hockey League’s Seattle Thunderbirds but he also represented Slovakia at 2 World Championships. 
The World Ice Hockey Championship 2009 is starting Saturday evening in Switzerland! The opening match is going to be between the Czechs (including Jaromir Jagr!!!) and the Dutch so it should be a great show. The world’s 16 best teams are going to face off in Bern and Zurich from April 24 to May 10 and you can watch the progression of the games 
I may be officially an Americanized woman now! Why? A couple of days ago I found myself ‘guilty’ while buying a pair of jeans that had a manufactured hole in them! How could I do such thing??

The theory of relativity is probably the most famous accomplishment of Albert Einstein, the scientist of all times. A few people know however, that the idea may have been born in Prague. ‘How is that possible?’, you may ask. ‘Einstein was not Czech he was German!’ That is true, he was born in Bavarian Ulm (1879) and died in the USA in 1955. But in 1911 and 1912 Einstein spent 16 months teaching at the German university in Prague. He and his family lived in Lesnicka Street while he was lecturing theoretical physics at Klementinum and at the German Institute of Physics in Vinicna Street. There he had met a mathematics professor, Mr. George Pick, who advised Einstein on what books to study in order for him to find answers for his unanswered questions. During his stay in Prague Einstein published numerous articles on theory of relativity, gravitation, thermodynamics and quantum physics. 
This year has been a very special year for the Christians in the Czech Republic. It so happened that the Bible was finally translated into a contemporary Czech, making it more user-friendly. The last time all the biblical texts were translated was 3o years ago. The translation process took 17 years to complete, having 7-member team of translators on board, but all say the time was well worth it.
