Dusty Supernova
March 3, 2011
While searching the skies for black holes using the Spitzer Space Telescope Deep Wide Field Survey, Ohio State University astronomers discovered a giant supernova that was smothered in its own dust. In this artists rendering, an outer shell of gas and dust -- which erupted from the star hundreds of years ago -- obscures the supernova within. This event in a distant galaxy hints at one possible future for the brightest star system in our own Milky Way.

The Darkness Within (Mass Market Paperbound)
Email or call for price
Special Order
Tucker has always known he was different. But he's learned to control the Darkness within him, to keep his inner wolf at bay, as long as he doesn't fall in love. And that shouldn't be a problem because he hasn't seen his one true love since he was a teenager.
Del needs help, desperately. And the only person she can rely on happens to be the one man she knows she shouldn't seek out. Tucker's fierce protective instincts have scared her before, but she has to take the risk.
Now that they're reunited, the love they struggled so long to forget rushes back stronger than ever. The temptation to give in is high, but it could cost them everything. And when Tucker's wolf is unleashed, will they be able to save themselves?

I must admit to having lost some track of the Mad Men series, that show about advertisers in 1960′s New York that everybody talks about but very few people actually watch. Of course, we do keep track of the best parts of all shows for you, including Mad Men and the delightfully gappy-toothed Jessica Pare and her sensational body.
Jessica was decked out in a 60′s style bikini on the set of the show in Hawaii, because, well, what TV show doesn't go to Hawaii by it's fifth or sixth season, but the benefit to us oglers was a solid view of Jessica in her colorful two-piece, albeit hiding herself beneath a large floppy hat and sunglasses (the international signal of 'don't be surprised if I'm not as hot as you think when these Ms. Potatohead accessories come off in the bedroom'). Still, we've seen enough Jessica to know what we're dealing with and what we're dealing with is one alluring Cannuckian actress with a killer body. Enjoy.

EXPLORE: Surf's up around SoCal
Unique features: There are three distinct breaks here, called Uppers, Lowers and Middles. Each features a high-performance wave, which also attracts huge crowds almost all year long.
Optimal season: Any time
Who surfs here: Everyone takes advantage of one of the finest breaks in the nation.
Ability needed to survive: Intermediate
How to get there: Take Interstate 5 to Basilone and turn left. Go right into the San Onofre State Park parking lot. Walk down the trail and across the train tracks to reach the water.
Fun fact: The Hurley Pro, the only World Championship Tour contest in the mainland U.S., is held at Lower Trestles every September.
Unique features: It's a beach break with solid surf between two jetties that typically holds form.
Optimal season: Any time
Who surfs here: Shortboarders. Lots of 'em.
Ability needed to survive: Novice
How to get there: Take I-5 to Oceanside Harbor Drive and go west. Stay left once you enter the Harbor. Continue until you reach the beach. Parking is all around.
Fun fact: Oceanside Harbor is the northern-most beach break in San Diego County.
Unique features: This is a popular contest site because of easy access and the ability to accommodate large crowds. It's slightly inconsistent, but it can get good when the wind dies down and the swell is right.
Optimal season: Any time
Who surfs here: Pretty much everyone
Ability needed to survive: Not much
How to get there: Take I-5 to Mission Boulevard and go west. There are parking lots all around the beach.
Fun fact: This is a major contest site, including the bodysurfing world championships.
Unique features: Quiet spot that's rarely crowded, but can produce a fantastic wave. As at most good breaks, the crowds will come when the surf is good.
Optimal season: Summer and winter
Who surfs here: Locals
Ability needed to survive: Intermediate
How to get there: Take I-5 to Encinitas Boulevard and go west. Turn left onto Coast Highway 101. Turn right on D Street. There is no assigned parking, so you'll have to park on the street. Take the D Street stairs to the beach.
Unique features: Premier point break that produces a slow-rolling wave. Swami's is one of the most popular, well-known spots in San Diego, and it can get extremely crowded.
Optimal season: Fall and winter
Who surfs here: Local longboarders regularly and just about everyone when it gets big.
Ability needed to survive: Intermediate to advanced
How to get there: Take I-5 to Encinitas Boulevard. Go west. Turn left on 101. Turn right after Swami's Temple. That will lead to a small, ever-crowded parking lot. Take the stairs down to the beach.
Fun fact: Swami's nickname derives from the nearby Self-Realization Fellowship Temple founder Paramahansa Yogananda's membership in the Swami Order.
Unique features: This is a spot where the surf generated by a reef remains fun even when the waves are small. The form is often better when the waves are smaller to moderate in size.

Information for Children
Built for
A big weird gizmo - two stories tall and constantly in motion - isn't what you expect to see in a hospital lobby. But our new hospital isn't your typical hospital! The big weird gizmo -- more properly called an "audio kinetic sculpture" -- is a mesmerizing jumble of mechanical devices and rolling balls, and it makes strange sounds. Nearby, fiber optic lighting chases itself down the main concourse. Creative paintings and sculptures are displayed throughout the hospital, including a four-foot-tall white bird named "Gorgeous Georgette" and an oversized chess set with strange-looking animals as the chess pieces.
If you are staying overnight, you'll want to spend time playing in the two-story Play Atrium on the 7th floor. It is designed to look and feel like an outdoor park and has lots of toys and games. The atrium also has fanciful "trees" adorned with fiber optic lights. There are gazebos to play in and a bridge to play on. A rocky stream is painted on the rubber-foam floor, and there is a carpeted play space for toddlers.
The recreation area includes a lounge exclusively for teens, with Internet access, video games and a soundproof music room.
Next door to the Play Atrium is a K-12 school so that you can keep from falling behind in your studies. The school has a full-time principal and 13 teachers. The hospital school's teachers coordinate lesson plans and assignments with your teachers back home.

Theodore Dreiser
Theodore Dreiser (drī´sər, –zər), 1871–1945, American novelist, b. Terre Haute, Ind. A pioneer of naturalism in American literature, Dreiser wrote novels reflecting his mechanistic view of life, a concept that held humanity as the victim of such ungovernable forces as economics, biology, society, and even chance. In his works, conventional morality is unimportant, consciously virtuous behavior having little to do with material success and happiness. While his style and language tended to be clumsy and plodding, he played an important role in introducing a new realism and sexual candor into American fiction. Dreiser was born into a large and poor family. His education was irregular, but, with help from a sympathetic high school teacher, he spent the year 1889–90 at the Univ. of Indiana. After working as a journalist on several midwestern newspapers, in 1894 he went to New York City, where he began a career in publishing, eventually rising to the presidency of Butterick Publications.
His first novel, Sister Carrie (1900), the story of a country girl's rise to material success first as the mistress of a wealthy man and then as an actress, horrified its publisher, who gave it only limited circulation. Dreiser distributed it himself, but it was consistently attacked as immoral; it was reissued in 1982 with many passages from his revised typescript restored. Jennie Gerhardt (1911), again about a "fallen woman," met with a better response; its success allowed Dreiser to work as a writer full time. With these two works, Dreiser started his long battle for the right of the novelist to portray life as he sees it.
In The Financier (1912), he turned his attention more specifically to American social and economic institutions. This novel, the first of a trilogy that includes The Titan (1914) and The Stoic (1947), describes the rise to power of a ruthless industrialist. In both The Genius (1915) and in The Bulwark (1946), Dreiser explores the failings of an American artist. An American Tragedy (1925), often considered his greatest work, tells of a poor young man's futile effort to achieve social and financial success; the attempt ends in his execution for murder. In his later life Dreiser became interested in socialism, visiting the Soviet Union as a guest of the government and writing his perceptions: Dreiser Looks at Russia (1928) and Tragic America (1931). Among his other works are such collections of short stories as Free (1918), Chains (1927), and A Gallery of Women (1929).
See his memoirs, A Traveler at Forty (1913), A Book About Myself (1922; republished as Newspaper Days, 1931), and Dawn (1931); his letters, ed. by R. Elias (3 vol., 1959); biographies by W. A. Swanberg (1965) and R. Lingeman (2 vol., 1986–90); studies by E. Moers (1969), F. O. Matthiessen (1951, repr. 1973), J. Lundquist (1974), and L. E. Hussman (1983).

A police officer in a small town asked for light duty after she hurt her foot off duty. The chief refused because there was no light duty available, the force had only provided it in the past to officers with work related injuries, and it had actually entirely discontinued light duty prior to the officer's request. The officer then claimed she was pregnant and renewed her request for light duty, supported by a doctor's note. Again, the chief denied light duty, and this time, he placed the officer on unpaid FMLA leave. After her leave expired, the city contacted her about her plans to return, but she ignored their communications, and eventually the city concluded she had quit. She claimed pregnancy discrimination and retaliation, based on being denied light duty, being forced on unpaid FMLA leave, and then being fired.
The district court ruled in favor of the city, and the Tenth Circuit affirmed. The city's refusal to provide light duty was justified and not a pretext for discrimination. While being forced to take unpaid FMLA leave might be considered retaliatory in some circumstances, the officer did not make that argument. As for her termination, that claim failed because she did not file a charge of discrimination. Freppon v City of Chandler (10th Cir. July 1, 2013).

Hi everyone!
I am always so out of the loop when it comes to technology that I had never even heard of a GPS until last night.
My friend Trekkie Dad and his friend Jeff who is now my new friend as well were visiting us and they had a GPS with them. Around 8 pm they explained to me what it was for and then we went online to find out if there were any caches hidden in my town. It turned out there were several and some were very close to my house. We entered the coordinates and clues for three of them and took off on our hunt at 9 pm.
Our first stop was a park called Hocus Pocus. Jeff's GPS was very accurate so we found the general location right away. However , this cache was one of the micro types which are smaller than the tip of a pinkie so we had our work cut out for us finding it. We were looking above and underneath two metal boxes and running our hands and fingers all over them and Jeff yelled "I feel something rattling , I think I've got it!" I asked "What is it?" He suddenly yelled and dropped it and said "It's not it. This is a snail!" LOL I was laughing so hard I almost peed in my pants. But we were determined to find the real little sucker, so I laid down on my back and shone the flashlight over every inch of metal and finally found it! I was so excited that I did a happy dance. We opened it up and I signed my name on the miniscule piece of paper inside then we put it back in place.
Our next location was Camp Evers which is a local fishing hole. Our clue was that "something was worse than its bite." We figured this one must be hidden on or near a tree since it had to do with bark. We were right! It was very clever how the person had hidden it. The piece of bark had velcro attaching it to the tree and underneath was a tiny Altoids box. There were some little trinklets inside. We let my daughter take a bracelt and sign her name since she was the first one to spot it. And she left a quarter in its place.
The last location was a very strange one called Linear Park which is really just more of a path. Our hint was that we needed to go up an unlucky number of stairs and then go three feet to the right. Some people had also written that there were lots of branches, spiders and spider webs there. They weren't kidding! We looked all over this tree and couldn't find the cache at first but we did find lots of creepy looking spiders. I finally saw an opening at the base of the tree and I was scared to stick my hand in it , but I did. And there inside was a long film canister with a pen, paper and some trinkets. I signed my name again and we left a dime.
All in all, I was pretty proud of pur group because we worked well together and we were able to find all three caches in less than an hour. If I go do this again , next time I am going to take better trinkets.
This was so much fun!! It brought back that feeling of playing hide and go seek and kick the can in the dark when I was kid....and crawling around in bushes and dirt with bugs...I am not that squeamish. (Although I'm glad it wasn't me that grabbed the snail...LOL) I think I have definitely found a new hobby. I think it would be fun to creat some new hiding spots with caches too.
Who else is into this hobby? I'd love to hear about some of your experiences.

You've no doubt heard that fluoride is good for you and that it protects your teeth from decay. For decades many towns have even been putting fluoride into their water supply to make sure citizens get enough of it. But some are now debating whether that's a good idea.
Since the 1940's fluoride has been added to many public water supplies. The city of Portland does not add it. But many other local communities, including Keizer, do. Which means with every drink of tap water Keizer residents get a small dose of fluoride.
It's a dose former Keizer city councilor Richard Walsh says is too much. Last year he launched an effort to lower fluoride levels in the city's drinking water.
We re paying money to add this poison to our water, said Walsh.
Walsh s efforts failed, but he did succeed in stirring quite a dental debate.
The dentists are saying it s the most effective way to deliver (fluoride)... well that's true... it s the most effective way to deliver a lot of things... are you going to use the water system to deliver Prozac? argued Walsh.
The debate grew when in January when the federal government lowered the recommended levels of fluoride in water over concerns it was causing fluorosis in children. Fluorosis is a condition where white spots form on the teeth.
But Lake Oswego dentist Dr. Bill Osmunson says excess fluoride is harming more than just our teeth.
It also causes damage to the thyroid, to the brain.. we have a lower IQ's in communities with fluoridation... It's one of the worst things we're doing in public health, said Dr. Osmunson.
Keizer dentist Ben Sutter says all that anti-fluoride research is simply wrong.
There are areas in the world which have 6 times more fluoride in the community water supply than recommended... there's no incidents of Alzheimer's... there no increased rate of liver cancer, said Dr. Sutter.
For parent Heidi Kaiser fluoride in her water is just fine.
It doesn't phase me in the slightest really, said Kaiser.
She says stronger brighter teeth with a simple drink water is something she and her kids can smile about.
The CDC named the fluoridation of drinking water one of the ten great public health achievements of the 20th century. Still, since it is now found in everything from water to toothpaste to mouthwash the EPA is considering lowering the maximum amount of fluoride allowed in drinking water.

Essential Gadgets for Every Home Office
The Wow-Keys by Omnio Lets You Type on Your Phone
This 1.4-pound keyboard doubles as an iPhone charging dock. You can also use the keyboard to type on your phone—in the Notes app, say, or Contacts folder. The Wow-Keys also works with a variety of iPhone apps that let you control your desktop with your phone. We tried it with JumiMouse, an app that lets you, among other things, play and pause songs stored on your desktop. We loved the added functionality, but the keyboard, which also works with iPods, does not come with its own apps, and finding compatible apps was a hassle. Cost: $99

`The increased focus from the bank and the Government was key to the project's turnaround'
The project was launched in 2002 It is aimed at helping people improve their lives
Bangalore: The World Bank has commended the State Government for putting the Karnataka Watershed Development Project back on track. The project is aimed at helping village communities in six of the poorest rain-fed districts improve their lives.
The bank, in its report, said that the project was actually at risk of not meeting its development goal, but the Government succeeded in putting it on track. It helped train villagers in watershed management, thus aiding them to improve agricultural productivity and their incomes.
Launched in 2002, the project had a slow start. Three years of continuous drought also meant that farmers were unable to make their contribution for the planned civil works.
The bank's mid-term review in the previous year took a hard look at the project and restructured it based on lessons learned from the first phase.
According to the project's task leader Grant Milne, "this increased and persistent focus from the bank and the Government was key to the project's turnaround."
Participatory watershed projects were by nature large and complex. Hence, they required close monitoring, and most importantly a collaborative team that was willing to openly identify and address issues as they arose, he said.
The bank was happy that the Karnataka Watershed Development Project was fully operational with local villagers participating in the management of their natural resources through 742 watershed sanghas, 6,646 self-help groups and 4,394 area groups. Soil and water conservation works were in full swing and the first phase was showing results household income had increased by 20 per cent. Cropping intensity and yields were up by 12 per cent and 15 per cent respectively, groundwater yields had increased by between 250 and 275 gallons per hour and 15,000 to 20,000 mandays of employment had been generated. However, despite the best of efforts, some projects remained bedevilled with problems.

I love this band; i don't like that you used the word "Hipster" to describe them. it's a derogative word nowadays, and it might distance people from the artwork itself (which is very contemporary btw, good job).
Congrats asher2789 ! ~
Great work, congrats

Educational Opportunities for Veterans
The National Governor's Association Virginia Veterans' Licensing and Certification Working Group is on track to help veterans transition into "bridge programs" at two- and four-year colleges. Dr. Bruce Brunson, Executive Director for the Center for Military and Veterans Education at Tidewater Community College, says they still need to take care of themselves and their families during the interim.
If they pursue a medical profession degree, they could get certified as an EMT within a few weeks. The group is also studying options for Physical Therapist Assistants and Licensed Practical Nurses. Brunson also says some veterans are more than qualified to perform job duties, but the employer requires a degree—so it would be helpful if employers relaxed some of those requirements. He also recommends that more employers pitch in for veterans' job-training courses.

Terry Butcher has weighed in to the debate regarding Fraser Forster's proposed England selection despite him playing for Celtic.
Former England keeper Peter Shilton suggested the 25-year old would have to leave Scotland in order to be a genuine international gloveman but Butcher does not agree.
The Hibernian boss, who played 77 times for the Three Lions, suggests Shilton cannot comment on Scottish football as he never played here – unlike former England superstar Paul Gascoigne.
"They would laugh and call it a Mickey Mouse league and all that rubbish," he told the Scotsman.
"Even Gazza said it was a pub league – but then when he came up here said it was the best league in the world! Peter Shilton has never played up here – although he's played badly for England up here of course!
"If he had then you would respect his opinion more, but I certainly dismiss that having played in both leagues.
"Fraser is an excellent goalkeeper and I played with Chris Woods who played for Rangers and England. It's not about the amount of saves you make, it's about your concentration levels, when you are called upon you have got to make those saves.
"When you play for England, with all due respect, you're generally not called upon to do much. But when you are you have to make the saves. So, in a way, Celtic and England are very similar. Joe Hart at Manchester City is the same."

After Carlton Heist, Cannes Crime Spree Continues
PARIS – Still reeling from Sunday's historical heist of $136 million in jewels from an exhibit at the Carlton Hotel, Cannes was hit with yet another brazen burglary on Wednesday morning just steps from the Palais.
Two thieves stormed the Kronometry store across the street from the Palais des Festivals on the Croisette at around 11 a.m. local time, and made off with 40 luxury watches. Local police have not yet estimated their value.
Kronometry carries watches from high-end luxury brands such as Audemars Piguet, Hublot and Vacheron Constantin. Audemars Piguet watches range in price from around $20,000 to $869,000 and Vacheron Constantin watches vary from about $50,000 to $725,000.
The Kronometry store was known to have one of the 18 limited edition diamond-encrusted Hublot Classic Fusion Tourbillon Squelette watches. Other Hublot limited edition watches have been valued at up to $1 million.
The first thief entered the store posing as a customer before wielding a grenade, and was quickly joined by an accomplice carrying a handgun. The pair emptied the display cases in the street-facing windows before fleeing in a car.
STORY: Cannes Jewel Heist: Event Planners Discuss Possible Fallout
This is the second high-profile case in three days following the world record-breaking heist at the famed Carlton hotel on Sunday, about a 10-minute walk down the Croisette from Wednesday's robbery. On Tuesday, regional government announced that they would set up a committee to seek solutions to improve security for the luxury shopping area that overlooks the Mediterranean.
These are just the latest incidents impacting luxury brands in the city. During the Cannes Film Festival, sponsor Chopard lost an estimated $1.4 million in jewelry after the hotel room safe of an employee was ripped from the wall. Police at the time suspected an inside job. Just days later, a $2.6 million dollar necklace went missing from Swiss jeweler de Grisogono's star-studded annual fete at the Hotel du Cap.
The film festival was also plagued by smaller crimes, including break-ins at private residences, hotels and street thefts. Additional thefts were reported among delegates at the Cannes Lions advertising festival in June, and festival organizers told The Hollywood Reporter that they are working with police to improve city security. Cannes Lions CEO Philip Thomas said the local police have been "very cooperative."

Brain vacuum technique reverses the effects of stroke
By Ben Coxworth
June 9, 2010
Twenty-seven stroke victims are alive and well today because of a new tool that vacuums clots out of blood vessels in the brain. Known as the Penumbra System of Continuous Aspiration Thrombectomy, the technology has been assessed at the Seaman MR Research Centre at Canada's University of Calgary. If used within a few hours of a stroke, it can restore blood flow to the brain, thus reversing the effects of the stroke and preventing any permanent brain damage.
Medical technology firm Penumbra designed the tool. The process involves going in through the patient's groin, and threading a tiny catheter into a blood vessel. That catheter goes up to the neck, at which point an even smaller catheter emerges from it and goes into the brain, whereupon it vacuums out the blood clot. "It requires years of training to be able to do this," said Dr. Mayank Goyal, director of the Seaman Centre. "It places enormous demands on the interventionalist, on the imaging specialists, and on the emergency team that gets the patient to a designated stroke care facility. Teamwork is key for success."
Dr. Goyal added that the procedure will only work on massive strokes, so it is vital that patients are assessed via a CT scan as soon as possible. As revolutionary as the tool itself may be, it is of the utmost importance that medical staff are able to quickly determine which patients are candidates. To that end, Goyal is now working on a website that will help other physicians interpret CT scans accordingly.
The Penumbra System is intended for use on ischemic strokes, which involve blood clots in the brain, and constitute 80% of all strokes. Currently, such clots are treated with the drug t-PA, which has to be administered within three hours of the event. The new system involves less of a risk of bleeding, and may still work after more than three hours.
"The bottom line is we have this new technology which is extremely effective," said Goyal. "This study involved patients with large strokes associated with much higher levels of disability and death and we have the potential to be able to give them a good quality of life."
Drugs should be the first line of approach to these patients before this highly invasive and doubtless potentially dangerous procedure is contemplated.TogetherinParis
Advances in heart stroke and blood clotting.
Dr.A.Jagadeesh Nellore(AP),IndiaAnumakonda Jagadeesh
Suppose the ones pushing drugs have money invested in drug companies. I think you'd thin differently, TogetherinParis, if you had a stroke, but maybe by then you wouldn't have a say in your treatment. As for me, I welcome any new treatment and getting rid of the clots/blockages is what's most important. Many would welcome treatments that would identify strock clot/blockage potential before a stroke occurs, but even those treatments when fully recognized will probably miss some people and treatments like this can make all of the difference in the world to people who have a stroke and better recovery and quality of life after a stroke.Sherry Friedrichs

Where to buy Extended Warranty for LCD TV !I bought Samsung LCD TV for $1400 few days back from Amazon and would like to buy extended warranty from third parties as Amazon does not sell it.
Please help me with some reliable companies who offers extended warranty on TVs purchased anywhere (I found TedUnlimited [tedunlimited.com] and DTVExpress [dtvexpress.com] but not sure how good they are ..)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
They work like any other warranty company: your stuff breaks, you contact them, they fix it.
And they can do that because the odds something breaks is low, plus they aren't trying to scam you out the wazoo on add-ons like Best Buy does because they are losing on the regular profit.
You should be able to get an add'l year w/ a AMEX or Visa plat/sig: however, for longer warranties - chaps at avsforums seem to swear by Mack CPS or Mack - per avsforums [avsforum.com]
HTH, g/l
Somewhat. Or, they're banking on people in the store hearing "you can add 3 years of protection to your $500 TV/laptop/whatever for just $120" and jumping on that offer, instead of looking around for the best deal. It's amazing how much being lazy will end up costing someone.
Hell, my aunt just bought me a new TV for my dorm room. She paid the extra $30 for a 3-year warranty at Walmart, which is what it is at SquareTrade (roughly). You're getting a warranty from a company that isn't going anywhere and that you likely have within a few miles.
But mostly, it's the B&M stores taking advantage of the clueless shopper. Why else would BB and Wal-mart and all those stores be able to charge extremely high for things like HDMI cables, Ethernet cables, flash drives, etc. and yet still get people to buy them?
If I had a nickel for every person that I've heard scammed in the local Best Buy, I'd probably be able to buy the store just to demolish it.

Rare Ruhlmann piano to be auctioned in NYC
Thursday - 2/14/2013, 12:52pm EST
Associated Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- An art deco grand piano that sailed aboard the French ocean liner Normandie in the 1930s and spent decades inside a Buffalo mansion is up for auction.
Sotheby's in New York City expects the Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann-designed piece will sell for between $400,000 and $600,000 during an auction of 20th Century design works next month.
The piano was purchased by the Butler family of Buffalo in the early 1940s and for years was displayed in the Butlers' opulent mansion in the city.
Sotheby's says the piano is one of only six Ruhlmann pianos whose whereabouts are known and one of three that are similarly shaped.
"In a sense it's the opposite of what a classic, say Steinway, shape would be. It was Ruhlmann's great modernist style and innovation in the (19)20s that would come up with something like that," said James Zemaitis, the auction house's senior vice president of 20th century design. "Where the piano should go in it goes out on the side. Convex versus concave."
Made from macassar ebony and American walnut and accented with gilt bronze and ivory, Ruhlmann first displayed the style at the landmark 1925 Paris art deco exposition.
"In the main room, Ruhlmann exhibited another example of this piano," Zemaitis said. "That piano immediately became iconic because of its presence in the central room."
Aboard the Normandie, the piano now up for sale occupied the ladies' drawing room and music room, which was decorated with Ruhlmann's furniture in tribute to the French designer, who died in 1933. The Normandie sailed its maiden voyage in May 1935.
After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the U.S. Navy seized the Normandie while it was docked at Manhattan's West Side piers. The Navy planned to convert it into the troopship, the USS Lafayette, and the piano was sold along with the rest of the ship's contents in a series of auctions.
Before the conversion could be completed, a fire broke out aboard the ship on Feb. 9, 1942. Early the next morning, the ship capsized onto its port side at Pier 88. The vessel was eventually righted, but the conversion operation was deemed too costly, and the ship was sold for scrap after the war.
The Butler family, which founded and, until the 1970s, owned The Buffalo News, purchased the instrument at a New York auction in the early 1940s after having seen and played the piano while sailing aboard the Normandie, according to Sotheby's.
The piano has been passed down to the granddaughter of the original owners, who has declined to be identified.
The auction is scheduled for March 6.

Olympics swimming: Florent Manaudou wins shock gold
France's Florent Manaudou took a shock gold in the 50m freestyle in his first major individual sprint final.
Swimming from lane seven, the 21-year-old beat American Cullen Jones to finish in 21.34 seconds, with Brazil's world record holder Cesar Cielo third.
France have now won four golds in the pool at London 2012, doubling their all-time Olympic gold medal tally.
"How did he win that? He was winning the whole way. He stayed under the water a lot longer than anyone else and comes up at 15 metres in the lead and never loses the race. That has stunned me. I think I need a lie down! France are having a good meet, they have four gold medals now. Outstanding."
Manaudou's win adds to golds for Yannick Agnel and Camille Muffat, with another in the men's 4x100m relay.
Agnel's success in the men's 200m freestyle - he also anchored France to a spectacular win in the 4x100m relay - was perhaps more expected than that of Manaudou, who is the brother of former Olympic 400m freestyle champion Laure.
There was some movement on the blocks at the beginning of the race but the starter let them go and Manaudou was quickest away.
The French youngster spent a long time under the water before surfacing in the lead and holding on to beat Jones by 0.20 seconds.� �X[o�0~߯��'�\�e H��>L�K��ݱO���b����9ڕ���%Dp|�s�w>#Ԏ��;�$5f╚#����P!�*���'��H�p�� ʅ�1��n�jƕPT�0���))� TKS a ���v�j�_��0:�B�ibfT��S����m+�.Ѕ-$X�5!��4!k�g�$����|����be��3�xLKoW�7T�>Da��x�Ʀ�U�/���ke��~���^7�V��'Ϻe��x�b�>68[w>���]�cJ����U9Fx����A��?Ԩ�s�/d�_W�h�(g��AHh�C� ��O1�C����x�G�"�3>f�-��m\SEk���n/'�c�'��ho�ز1�+W���mj�^`Q��T�i���/�V@�KS&zL��[b�Y:%͝��̱����d�����\�\�r�y�J;�

uncomfortable isn't it? …a breach of traditional etiquette.
As uncomfortable as this idea may be, it's a growing trend. Blame the economy. Blame the fact that more couples are paying for their own wedding. Blame…
And, while it's true that most guests bring gifts, do we have the right to assume this of them?
On the other hand… while asking for cash instead of gifts may ruffle many a feather… there is a lot to be said for an honest straight-forward approach. This is especially true, if this is what family and friends might expect.
We recently had a request for wording for this type scenario! The bride had heard there was a "proper" way to ask for money in lieu of gifts. Hmmm. Asking for money will always be awkward. Will your guests wonder…"how much is enough?"
If you're going to ask for cash, I wouldn't mention it on the invitation; but, perhaps as a separate item sent with the rest of your invitation stationery.
Let me know what you think of these wording options
- Because we are saving for { } we would appreciate cash donations in lieu of gifts. Thank you very much!
- We ask only of your love and presence but if a present is your desire, we would be honored with a cash gift to help us save for our new home! Much love and thanks!
- We require only your presence but if you were thinking of giving a gift, we would greatly appreciate a gift of cash to help us save for { } Thank you kindly!
- If you were thinking of giving a gift, we would appreciate a gift of cash to help us save for our new home.
- In lieu of gifts, we would greatly appreciate cash donations to help us save {for our new home}.
What do you think about asking for cash in lieu of gifts?
Yeah Way!

LONDON - Chelsea's new striker Diego Costa scored two goals in seven minutes with his first coming 57 seconds into his home debut in a 2-0 friendly win over Real Sociedad.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho spent much of last term complaining about his lack of quality attacking options and Romelu Lukaku, Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba have all been sent packing to make room for Costa and returning Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.
On the evidence of Costa's maiden outing in west London, the STG32 million ($F100million) Mourinho splashed out to sign the 25-year-old from Atletico Madrid should prove an astute investment.
The Spaniard was on the scoresheet with a cool finish less than a minute and he added a second goal in the seventh minute, while proving a constant threat to the Sociedad defence before being replaced to a standing ovation on the hour yesterday. Although Costa was the headline act, Mourinho would also have been encouraged by a solid home debut from Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas.

This is a great chance to quiz someone who is on the ground in China -- why do UK companies only contribute 0.25% of patent filings in China? Come and listen and ask difficult questions.
On Friday 24 October, we will have a really interesting opportunity to meet Tom Duke, the UK's IP Attaché in China -- someone who not only promises to know what is going on in China but who can help smooth over your IP issues there. The event will take place at our Cambridge offices from 3 - 5pm (registration starts at 3pm, the talk starts at 3.30pm), with drinks and networking to follow.
Tom works on the ground in Beijing. He takes a special interest in IP and IP enforcement in China, and how it can be made to work for UK businesses. He is in a position to understand directly what is going on in China, and to use UK Government connections to help when there are problems. I have seen myself, both talking to people here and in China, that IP is a concern for UK businesses -- and it seems to be more of a concern than say for German businesses, which, amongst other things, file six times as many patents in China than UK businesses do.
Tom will update you on what is happening for 20 minutes, followed by Simon Haworth, who is actively exploiting opportunities in China, and myself with a case study or two and an update from our perspective, including the new specialist IP Courts in China. More important still there will be a question and answer session where Tom can respond to specific concerns.
If you would like to join us on Friday 24 October, you can book your place here, or contact me directly.

So your theory is that we get more broken-at-launch games for a little while until there's a significant public outcry, there will be more of an onus on devs/publishers to make sure consumers get a 100% playable experience from the start -OR- they'll be more lenient about refunds?
Why not the best of both worlds? I'd like to see devs/publishers held more accountable for the games they ship AND have digital rights policies that didn't treat the consumer like garbage.

In the summer of 1993, two years after returning from combat duty in the Gulf War, Joel Turnipseed received an unexpected phone call. It was from the Dog Pound. "'Hey, this is Hatch,'" Turnipseed recalls the conversation going. "I'm like, 'What do you mean, this is Hatch? Hatch who?' And he's like, 'Hatcher, Douglass Hatcher, motherfucker.'"
It was the first time that Turnipseed had spoken with Hatch--or any other members of the Dog Pound, with whom he had shared a tent in Saudi Arabia--since returning from the war. Hatch had a simple question for his fellow ex-Marine: How come you're not writing the book? "The book, my brother. You gotta write the book. You're the only one who knows how to write the book. How could you have that experience and not write the book?'"
What else could Turnipseed say? "I'm like, 'All right, I'll write the book.'"
Several weeks later Turnipseed was on a train en route to North Philly to meet up with Hatch. He had a carton of cigarettes, a Mont Blanc fountain pen, and a stack of empty journals. When Turnipseed arrived at the train station in Philadelphia, however, Hatch was nowhere to be found. "The fucker didn't show up," Turnipseed laughs, recounting the story over coffee at a Dunn Bros in downtown Minneapolis. "Maybe he got arrested. Who knows. I've never talked to him since. His phone got disconnected. Life is hard in North Philly. You never know what happens to people."
The Gulf War reunion may have been a bust, but a decade later Turnipseed has finally written "the book." Baghdad Express, the 34-year-old's account of transporting 155mm shells and Kellogg's cereal boxes from Jubayl, Saudi Arabia, to the front lines of the war, will be published this month by Borealis Books (a new imprint of Minnesota Historical Society Press). It's more a coming-of-age memoir than a chronicle of bloodshed: Turnipseed's aptitude for dark humor and philosophical rumination proves greater than his skill at firing off M-16 rounds. His first act upon arriving in Saudi Arabia is to scrawl "Know Thyself" on his combat helmet with the o transformed into a peace symbol. And he spends his down time brooding over passages from Nietzsche and Thoreau.
"I wanted to be back in a coffee shop reading Wittgenstein," Turnipseed writes. "Instead I was always being asked to give an opinion on the state of 9mm pistols or Motor Trend's Car of the Year." His unlikely last name is bastardized at various times into "Turnipstrudel," "Turnipjew," and "Nietzschenstrudel." The most imminent danger he faces for much of the war is the possibility of getting the shit kicked out of him by his fellow Marines.
Anthony Swofford would have been a decent candidate to dish out such a beating. He's the author of Jarhead (Scribner), another recently released Gulf War memoir. In contrast to Baghdad Express, it's a swashbuckling--if ultimately cautionary--red-meat account of serving in the trenches. In an early section Swofford recounts the weeks leading up to his deployment in the Persian Gulf, in which his platoon indulges in a machismo bender of war movies, beer, and sadistic male-bonding rituals. "Now is my time to step into the newest combat zone," he writes. "And as a young man raised on the films of the Vietnam War, I want ammunition and alcohol and dope, I want to screw some whores and kill some Iraqi motherfuckers."
Swofford's account throbs with the menace of chemical weapons, oil fires, and battle-hardened Iraqi soldiers. He pisses his pants and prepares for death. For all the lurking dangers, however, the closest Swofford comes to becoming a battle casualty is when his unit comes under fire from American tanks. "We are fighting ourselves, but we can't fight back," Swofford writes.
Turnipseed's wartime duty was more mundane. He spends his days and nights hauling supplies and pulling guard duty. Turnipseed fires no shots and dodges no bullets. His chief complaint is lack of sleep. The only time he draws his M-16 rifle is to convince a lead-footed, non-English speaking truck driver to ease off the gas as they transport napalm down a dirt road. (For the full story on this showdown, see the excerpt titled "Cigarette," below.)
Turnipseed's weary narrative voice, then, owes to the fact that he arrived in the corps as a kind of battle casualty. Early on in Baghdad Express, he recounts the miserable childhood that led him to retreat into a philosophical shell. This is how Turnipseed describes the courtship of his parents: "When my mother got knocked up by a guy at a party, and he refused to have anything to do with her afterwards, my father led my uncles in beating the crap out of the guy. He seemed like a hero to her." In Baghdad Express, Turnipseed recounts that his childhood involved its own generous share of ass-whuppings and tumult. He attended a different school every year from kindergarten until 10th grade, which made him, as he writes, "a connoisseur of loneliness."
By the summer of 1990 Turnipseed was a homeless college dropout who had gone AWOL from the Marines. He squared himself with the military just in time for Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait. The news that he was to report for active duty actually came as something of a relief. "The fact was, I had no clue where I would live if I didn't get called up," Turnipseed writes.
