Preparations are underway for what has been described as a "potentially historic" snowstorm which is set to hit the north eastern states in the US.
Meteorologists have predicted around 60 centimetres of snow will fall in several areas with winds gusting to 100 kilometres per hour.
Panic buying has been reported in some shops in preparation for the storm which is set to rage through Friday night. The city of New York where memories of October's hurricane Sandy are still fresh has been put on alert.
"It looks like everyone is aware the storm is coming. They're stocking up with all the necessary supplies. Bread and milk seem to be the number one sellers right now," said one shop manager.
Before the first snowflakes had even fallen airlines cancelled hundreds of flights across the region with disruptions set to ripple across the US.
Forecasters have said they believe the storm will be one for the record books.

Travel Appears To Be Next Up For Google
BusinessWeek writes about Google's potential plans to enter the travel arena with a specialized offering. That offering, assuming it appears, would likely include a heavy dose of video. There would also likely be a heavy helping of Maps. Interestingly, Google is pushing Maps and MyMaps today as a travel/trip planning tool.
Google could create a pretty interesting travel product using some combination of YouTube/video and Maps, including StreetView, with social elements (e.g., search UGC/MyMaps). Google used to show a one box that would expedite a search on the top branded travel destinations for queries such as "flights to NYC," but I was unable to reproduce that today.
Online travel spending exceeds $80 billion annually in the US market; and online travel-related advertising (leisure) is one of the top consumer categories according to the IAB:
Vertical sites offer marketers a more qualified click than do general search results.
DON'T MISS OUT! The agenda for Search Engine Land's SMX West search marketing show is now up. Search marketing is the biggest area of digital marketing. You can't afford to get it wrong! SMX has practical tips & techniques for those experienced with SEO & SEM plus a welcoming environment for beginners. Learn more!

Is there anything to see in Omaha that relates to it being the birthplace of Fred Astaire?
the main point of the day we have there is to visit the zoo but being a massive fan of Fred if there is anything to see i wouldn't want to miss it!
Thanks in advance
Omaha, Nebraska
Is there anything to see in Omaha that relates to it being the birthplace of Fred Astaire?

They actually have a great zoo (better than St Louis or KC). I've not spent much time there, but it's really a nice city.
Report Abuse
Sorry I skipped past you're going to the zoo
Report Abuse
i looked it up and saw that there is a fred astaire dance studio, but i don't think there is much for tourists to do there.
Report Abuse
I know theres a ballroom named after Fred and his sister but that appears to be it :/
Ah well Fred aside, can anyone recommend anywhere to eat in Omaha?
We're staying at the Fairfield Inn and Suites, so anywhere within walking distance of there would be great
thanks in advance if anyone can help!
Report Abuse
I think the ballroom in the mansion is all there is :/
Your best bet for restaurants is in the Old Market area of downtown Omaha. When we visited my daughter (who was interning there last summer) she took us to the Upstream Brewery. The tomato basil parmesan soup was excellent, as was the giant burger my husband and I split. Daughter raved about her mac n cheese and her friend was more than satisfied with his steak. They have a neat beer tasting that includes a dozen small sample glasses that come on a placemat telling you about the brewing process. The beer with a chocolate undertone was surprisingly good! We also went the The Rock Bottom Brewery which is a chain but the flatbread pizza was yummy. And, because we had a large group, we were able to sit at a "tap table" where we were able to draw our own draft beers -- fun!
We'll be in Omaha again next week -- daughter has now graduated and moved there for a job. Not sure where she'll take us this time but I'll be sure to report back.
P.S. If you have some time to kill in Omaha, they have a wonderful art museum - The Joslyn. Their collection of western art is definitely worth the trip.
Report Abuse
I was kinda afraid of that, poor Fred :/
The upstream brewary sounds good, although i have a 4 year old so maybe not the beer!
Hope you have a good time visiting your daughter anymore recommendations would be great!
Report Abuse
If you enjoy antique shopping, plan a visit to The Brass Armadillo. Tons of things to look at (old and new)- interesting just walking thru it! May even find "Fred" memorabilia!
Report Abuse
The zoo is really nice and I thinkt the Lemur house is finished by now, it was under construction when I was there a couple of years ago.
The zoo will probably take up a fair amount of your time. We ate several meals at places in Old Town but I can't remember their names but Old Town is loaded with good places to eat.
Report Abuse
It's the Old Market, not Old Town, just so you don't get confused. The Upstream down there is one of my favorite Omaha restaurants, and I am pretty sure they offer a children's menu.
The zoo will keep you very busy. Quite close by is a lovely botanical garden as well.
I googled Fred Astaire birthplace and he was actually born in a house quite near the zoo (1332 So. 10th as I recall) so even if you can't visit it officially, you can know that you are close by.
Report Abuse
At the moment i'll be glad if i get there at all what with all the flooding
Would be nice to even be on the street where Fred was born (i'm reminded of the lerner and lowe song from My Fair Lady now lol)
Report Abuse
Thanks for the correction musicfan. I knew it was "old". I will remember the Old Market, for the next time.

The Richard Haynes Boardwalk in Hastings, Christ Church, was transformed into a craft village yesterday when members of the Craft Union of Barbados laid out their jewellery, paintings, batik and art for the public to purchase. Part of the proceeds will benefit the Challenor School, which was chosen as the beneficiary because it needed assistance, said spokesperson and Craft Union member Alison Adams. She added that the money would help the school purchase equipment or effect repairs. The donation was also the union's way of giving back to the community. Patrons not only got the chance to purchase locally-made craft items, but they were also entertained by calypsonians, the Royal Barbados Police Force Band and the Rose Hill Tuk Band.

Two new LTO tape gens announced
The Linear Tape Open Consortium has announced two more LTO tape generations, taking capacity up to 32TB compressed with LTO-8. It has achieved this with an increased compression history buffer. It says that testing shows this can improve compression rates from the existing 2:1 to 2.5:1. Consequently raw tape capacities grow less …
With the LTO 8 tapes it'll only take three days to backup my pron collection.
If you were serious you'd get yourself a tape library with multiple drives, you can cut that down to about 12 hours : -)
Plus you can make the autochanger robots fight!
Seriously, if you have less than 2TB of data (about what tapes can manage nowadays), you'd be better off just dumping that data to an HDD. Better rewrite sustainability (for those 30-day tape cycles), and much longer archival lifespan. I wouldn't trust my data on a tape for longer than a few years. Unless those 32TB+ (compressed) tapes cost less than $100 (and I actually have that much data to dump in a full backup), I would still mark them is less-than-useful. Especially at $3k per device to write them.

I saw the Black-hooded Parakeet in the Clearwater area in 2006 and will now add it to my ABA list. I agree with you Marianne, the ABA waits many years to insure that an exotic species is established and likely to be self sustaining. I think most ABA members list in this manner but I am sure there will be some who think otherwise.

OKC police: Woman hit pregnant roommate with hammer
An Oklahoma City woman was arrested after police said she hit her pregnant roommate in the head with a hammer. Southwest Medical Center staff called officers early Wednesday morning while treating a pregnant woman who had been hit in the head with a hammer.
According to investigators, the victim's roommate, Abigail Olivia Easton, 27, had attacked her with a hammer at their apartment in the 2400 block of Southwest 32nd. Easton told the roommate she had a court appearance in the morning, and the victim was being too loud. The two women then got into an argument.
The victim, who is six months pregnant, was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Police arrested Easton at the apartment on one complaint of assault with a deadly weapon.

The Coast Guard reported a diesel fuel discharge Tuesday afternoon from the Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw while the ship was taking on fuel in the Detroit River in the vicinity of the Ambassador Bridge.
The crew immediately secured the source of fuel and conducted initial clean-up operations onboard. Crewmembers also deployed boom around the fuel to prevent further spread.
Coast Guard Sector Detroit pollution responders currently on scene estimate that 200-300 gallons entered the water.
The Coast Guard has contracted an oil spill removal organization to complete the clean up and has ordered various equipment, to include a vacuum truck and additional boom.
The cause of the discharge is under investigation.
The Mackinaw was cleared to depart the location of the incident due to a necessary ice-breaking operation.
"We take our role as environmental stewards seriously, and any accidental discharge of fuel is regrettable," said Capt. Eric Johnson, chief of the Coast Guard 9th District Incident Management Branch.
"We are already at work mitigating any potential impacts and have begun our investigation of the actions that lead to the discharge so we can identify ways to prevent it from reoccurring."

'Pink Star' diamond sells for world record at Sotheby's auction
Huge flawless pink diamond was auctioned for $73.99 million in Geneva, a world record price for a gemstone, Sotheby's says.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
GENEVA—The "Pink Star," a huge flawless pink diamond, was auctioned for 68 million Swiss francs ($73.99 million U.S.) in Geneva on Wednesday, a world record price for a gemstone, Sotheby's said.
"The diamond was bought by Isaac Wolf and the diamond has been renamed The Pink Dream," said Matthew Weigman, Sotheby's worldwide director of sales communications.
Wolf, a New York-based diamond cutter, was represented by a bidder in the room and Sotheby's said the final sale price included the "buyer's premium," or commission fees.
In all, four people, including two Asian clients, bid on the oval-shaped diamond, which was mounted on a ring and weighed 59.60 carats, he said.
As Sotheby's auctioneer David Bennett brought down the hammer in the Geneva salesroom, applause erupted. "You'll forgive me," he said, as the theme song from the "Pink Panther" was played.
The Pink Star was the star lot at the Sotheby's jewels sale in Geneva, held in a heavily guarded hotel showroom.
It was the highest jewelry sale total for a single auction in history — $199.5 million, Sotheby's said.
"This was a really historic sale. We broke a number of records," Bennett told reporters.
"The pink diamond, I have no hesitation in saying, is a truly amazing royal stone, fit for any royal collection, fit for any museum collection.
"There is no stone of that size and colour known, no other stone."
Noting that the diamond's presale estimate was $61 million, Bennett said: "It surpassed our estimate. It's a large amount of money in itself, but I don't think this stone has a price."

Angela Dawson and her three children lived in a house infested with asbestos for more almost two years after the quakes.
EQC identified the risks when assessing the damage in October 2011, but did not alert the family.
EQC paid Dawson a $7000 cheque as settlement for her claim with no more information.
She disputed the amount. An independent report assessed the damage at about $45,000.
"You rely on EQC and you think they're sending people in who know their stuff, but they don't," Dawson said.
In May 2013, the family was still waiting for EQC to re-assess the damage. Dawson's partner Brent Smith decided to go ahead and cover the cracks in the ceiling in two rooms where the family had scraped off the stipple prior to the quakes.
A builder friend helping with the work told the family the house looked like it had asbestos on the damaged ceilings.
Smith called EQC and asked that the organisation test the property so that the family could decide whether or not it was safe to stay in the house while waiting for a re-assessment of their claim.
EQC said the family could do the test at their own expense. The test came back positive and the asbestos company told the family to move out immediately.
Documents obtained through the official information act show that EQC noted the asbestos risks on the first assessment in 2011.
Smith said asbestos-containing material was falling off the ceiling at the time.
Dawson said she was shocked to realise EQC had shown no concern for her children's health.
"Had we not initiated the asbestos test, we would still be living there waiting for EQC.".
Dawson said she was under financial pressure having to pay the mortgage on the house, and renting another place.
"Our lives have been put on hold," she said.
In May 2014, the family received a cheque of $45,000 from EQC despite their opting into the home repair programme in April 2014.
An EQC spokesperson said it was a "complicated case" because renovations were under way prior to the earthquake.
EQC's policy was to cash settle in such cases.
When asked why EQC did not inform a family with three children of the asbestos risks present in their house, the spokesperson said it was not EQC's role as an insurer.
"The EQC assessment did identify the possibility of asbestos containing materials in stipple ceilings where there was some minor cosmetic cracking, and some historic cracking from before the earthquake."
EQC's role in this case was to settle the claim, a spokesperson said, leaving it to the builder hired to carry out the repairs to identify asbestos risks.
However, EQC's first assessment of the damage was six times under the value of the actual cost of the repairs, and it took the commission more than two years to re-assess the property.
For most of that time Dawson and her partner Smith had no idea about the asbestos risks.
"EQC constantly puts the onus on the homeowner who don't necessarily have the resources to pay for independent reports and asbestos tests," Smith said.

Staff arts picks
In honor of the season, The Times' Arts & Life staff offers three "scenes" from art, film and poetry that just scream "summer."
Visual art
'Beach Umbrella'
Simultaneously colorful and wistful, it stands alone — a folded-up beach umbrella casting a rippling shadow over an empty stretch of sand in late-afternoon light. David Hockney's 1971 acrylic on canvas is a languid, mysterious masterpiece. Does it portend the end of summer? Or simply a pause in seaside activities? Painted at a time when Hockney was trying to get over a painful break-up, "Beach Umbrella" is rich with sunlit melancholy and suggestion.
Michael Upchurch, Seattle Times arts writer
'Rear Window'
A stifling New York heat wave — the kind that makes you feel as if you can't move until sundown. Mysterious doings in the apartment across the way. Grace Kelly, looking the very picture of summer in a floral-print dress. Hitchcock's matchless thriller "Rear Window" was first released in early August of 1954 — and it remains the perfect summer movie. Watch it with an old-fashioned fan whirring.
Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times movie critic
'Bed in Summer'
"In winter I get up at night/And dress by yellow candle-light./In summer, quite the other way,/I have to go to bed by day." Remember when the hardest part of the season was being sent to bed while it was light outdoors? Robert Louis Stevenson's simple poem captures that feeling perfectly.

Mike Parrish drops out of 6th District race; Manan Trivedi remains lone Democrat in primary race
Updated On: Mar 18 2014 05:50:50 PM CDT
Democrats will avoid a primary fight in the race for a soon-to-be-vacant U.S. House of Representatives seat in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Mike Parrish, a Chester County businessman, said Tuesday that he's dropping out of the race and supporting fellow Democrat and Iraq war veteran, Dr. Manan Trivedi.
That leaves Trivedi unopposed for the Democratic nomination in the May 20 primary.
Jim Gerlach, a six-term Republican, is vacating the seat, which takes in parts of Berks, Chester, Lebanon and Montgomery counties.
Lawyer Ryan Costello, a Chester County commissioner, is unopposed for the Republican nomination.
Parrish said he decided that an expensive and contentious Democratic primary fight would risk the party's ability to win the seat in the Nov. 4 election.
Trivedi, a Reading Hospital physician, unsuccessfully challenged Gerlach in 2010 and 2012.
