Heartbreaking Tearjerker of the Day: In 1988, Nicholas Winton’s wife revealed to the BBC his long-kept secret: He’d saved 669 children from the Nazis at the dawn of World War II through his organization of the Czech Kindertransport. (This clip is from a BBC program that honored the “British Schindler” by inviting some 80 of the children he saved to surprise him in the audience.) In all, more than 5,000 people owe their lives to Winton.

In the more than two decades since the media got wind of his humanitarian exploits, Winton has been knighted, had a minor planet named after him, been commemorated by two statues — one each in Prague and London — and been the subject of three films and a play.

Winton still wears a ring given to him by some of the children he saved. It is inscribed with a line from the Talmud, the book of Jewish law: “Save one life, save the world.” He celebrates his 103rd birthday this week.

TV Show Promo of the Day: J.J. Abrams — of Alias, Lost, and Fringe fame — is at the helm of Revolution, a new drama set in a post-apocalyptic world 15 years “after the lights went out” — or when a mysterious electromagnetic pulse threw humanity back into the 19th century, without cars, phones, or (gasp!) the Internet. Premieres this fall on NBC.

Why Am I The One? - Fun.

The best 1970s-era Elton John song ever that’s not an actual 1970s-era Elton John song. And I mean that as a compliment: this could easily fit anywhere on Madman Across the Water. Personally, I’d throw it on at number 3, right after “Levon”. Tell me that wouldn’t sound just right.

A mouse diced with death when it stole some food from under the nose of a leopard at the Santago Rare Leopard Project in Hertfordshire.

Instead of pouncing on the mouse, the 12-year-old African leopard, called Sheena, simply watched as it fed on scraps of meat thrown into its enclosure.

At one stage she tried to nudge the mouse away with her nose, but the mouse carried on eating regardless.

La Sera - “I Can’t Keep You in My Mind”

La Sera is the artist name of Vivian Girls’ Katy Goodman’s solo project, and her second album is titled Sees the Light. The title perfectly describes the type of breakup album that Goodman’s written. She sounds understandably sad that the relationship is over, but incredibly accepting that the breakup had to happen; the ending is bittersweet for her. Lyrics aside, the clangy and repetitive guitar makes for some really nice classic pop sounding songs. Clocking in at just around thirty minutes, Sees the Light is an absolute delight to listen to.
