US Chess Championship - 3RD EDITION
Whenever any grandmaster of chess is asked the question "Which chess book helped you the most" or "To what book do you most attribute your success", the answer is almost always the same. What is it that makes this book so much better than the others? Is it the deep analysis, the explanation of the ideas or is it the personality of the author himself in his exuberant explanations of how the struggle creates art.

Zurich International Chess Tournament 1953
In 1938, a major controversy existing in the international chess world. Alexander Alekhine had recently regained the title of World Champion by convincingly defeating Max Euwe in a rematch for the title. The question remained as to which grandmaster should have the privilege of challenging Alekhine for the next title match. Various players citing excellent results in recent tournaments made claim to be the next challenger. But who was the second best player in the world?
In order to help settle this dispute, a Dutch radio company, Allgemeese Vereningun Radio-Omroep (A.V.R.0.) organized a tournament exclusively of the eight strongest players in the world at the time, with the belief that the winner of the tournament, if not Alekhine himself, would earn the right to the next World Chess Championship.
This book describes, in detail, that tournament, the circumstances that lead up to it, the participants and their games, as well as the results of the legendary, but under-appreciated tournament.

AVRO 1938 - The Ultimate Chess Tournament
15 Contenders for the World Chess Championship
A great tournament deserves a great book. That's what grandmaster Miguel Najdorf produced in his account of one of the greatest and most important chess events of all time, the 1953 Zurich Candidates Tournament
Zurich 1953
The London International tournament of 1883 was the strongest tournament ever held in the world up until that time. It was considered to be a tournament for the World Chess Championship. It featured the strongest players in the world of that time. Steinitz, Zukertort , Blackburne, Chigorin, Mackenzie, Mason, Winawar and possibly English would be considered grandmasters on the modern standard. Rosenthal, Bird and even Noa would be international masters.
London International Chess Tournament 1883
Alekhine's super performance with 14 out of 15 against the world's best lacking only Capablanca and Em. Lasker. Excellent notes by Robert Sherwood, Alekhine, Maroczy, Nimzowitsch, Bogoljubow, Yates, Vidmar, etc. As Euwe later wrote about Alekhine's games at San Remo in Meet the Masters: "His wins in this tournament exhibited, one and all, the art of chess at its most perfect yet." Hardback book with all games annotated and with many diagrams. Part of the Great Tournament series.
San Remo 1930 International Chess Tournament
Whenever any grandmaster of chess is asked the question "Which chess book helped you the most" or "To what book do you most attribute your success", the answer is almost always the same. All or almost all grandmasters say there is one book that stands above all others in leading to success over the board. The name of that book is: International Grandmasters Chess Tournament Zurich 1953 by David Bronstein, which is reprinted here under the more commonly used title of World Chess Championship Candidates Tournament Zurich 1953.
World Chess Championship Candidates Tournament Zurich 1953
International Chess Tournament
Notes to all the games plus two photos, bibliography, openings index, and tournament records of the contestants.
Nuremberg 1896
International Chess Tournament
Notes by Grekov and a host of great annotators including Lasker, Alekhine, Tartakower, Rabinovich, Burn, Grunfeld, Grigoriev, Levenfish, Romanovsky, Sozin, a.o., A tournament book worthy of this great event, which was one of Alekhine's finest performances. Easily one of the best tournament books ever published in English with a cornucopia of great games from the golden age of hypermodern chess.
Baden Baden 1925
One of the most remarkable and famous chess tournaments ever took place in New York City in March and April 1924. It had a narrative that is still striking today: Three world champions, undisputed world champions mind you, fulfilling their destiny. The stunning performance of the 55-year-old former world champion Emanuel Lasker. The seemingly invincible reigning world champion Jose Capablanca suffering his first loss in eight years. And all 110 tournament games deeply annotated by future world champion Alexander Alekhine.
New York 1924
International Chess Tournament
Notes by Maroczy, Charousek, & other contemporary masters with editing and additional commentary by John Owen. Chigorin & Charousek tied for first followed by Pillsbury, Schlechter/Janowsky, Winawer/Walbrodt, Tarrasch, Albin/Maroczy, Marco, Noa, & Popiel. Includes the Chigorin-Charousek tie-breaking match. Photos & career records of the contestants.
Budapest 1896
International Chess Tournament
Finally this complex and great tournament appears just about one hundred years after it occurred. Schlechter won by a slight margin in a very complicated series of qualifying sections. Gillam worked hard with a dedicated band of helpers to track down all the known games, graced in most cases with notes, of that era.
Ostende 1906
New York 1889 was the strongest chess tournament ever held up until that time. It was supposed to be for the World Chess Championship, but it has never been recognized as such, primarily because Steinitz, who helped organize the event and who was present as a journalist, refused to play.
6th American Chess Congress
A first-rate tournament book for a strong US Championship in which Reshevsky just edged out Fine by 1/2 point. Kashdan was third followed by Pinkus, Simonson, Denker, Kupchik, Bernstein, Polland, Reinfeld, Shainswit, Adams, Seidman, Green, Hanauer, Woliston, and Littman. Notes to most of the games are from contemporary sources, and Fritz 7 checked many of the critical positions.
New York 1940
In 1972, an epic chess match took place in Iceland between representatives of the two great super-powers of the world: Bobby vs. Boris. Boris was backed by the Mighty Soviet Union, with late night phone calls coming from his handlers in Moscow, telling him what his next move should be.
Bobby Fischer vs. The Rest of the World
At Buffalo 1901 Pillsbury won ahead of Delmar, Napier, Howell, Marshall, and Karpinski in a double-round event. At Buffalo 1894 Showalter edged Pillsbury out by half a point, followed by Albin and Farnsworth also in a double-round format. Both tournaments are previously unpublished.
Buffalo 1901 and 1894
The Hastings Christmas Congress is the longest traditional of international chess tournaments in which the world's leading players competed. During the pre-war period of 1932-1939, the Annual Hastings tournament was the strongest event on the chess calendar, pitting Britains finest players against a galaxy of chess stars from across the globe.

Hastings - 7 Christmas Chess Congresses
An English translation of this original famous tournament book in German by George Marco and Carl Schlechter. This edition has the advantage of enhancements such as the addition of 15 photos of many of the players along with corrections and additional analysis using the new, very strong program, Rybka.
Karlsbad 1907
International Chess Tournament
Dr. Tarrasch and augmented by notes of many other famous players such as Alekhine, Lasker, Marco, Bernstein, Reinfeld. An extremely good tournament book for one of the greatest chess tournaments all time. Lasker just beat out Capablanca, followed by Alekhine, Tarrasch, Marshall and other greats of the day.
St. Petersburg 1914
Publisher Dale Brandreth has a fine track record of bringing out high quality tournament books and best games collections. Here he rescues two lesser known US tournaments with the help of the energetic Robert Sherwood who provides detailed analyses to all the games. The Chicago International of 1926 saw Frank Marshall top the field ahead of Maroczy and Torre, with other famous names such as Edward Lasker and Isaac Kashdan in the chasing pack. Lake Hopatcong 1926 was a stronger double-round event with Capablanca winning ahead of Kupchik, Maroczy, Marshall and Ed.Lasker.

Mexico City 2007 World Chess Championship Matches
Elista Diaries is the classic first-hand account of one of the most intensely fought World Chess Championship matches seen for decades. The World Champion and his chief trainer deeply annotate all of the games from the 1996 World Championship Match.
Elista Diaries
In this account of his victory at the 1929 Carlsbad Tournament, Nimzovich offers a captivating retrospective of his triumph over some of the best of his contemporaries: Capablanca, Spielmann, Bogolyubov, Tartakower, Samisch, and others. A tart analysis of Carlsbad's 30 best games.
Carlsbad International Chess Tournament 1929
The Psychology and Tactics of the Title Match
Reuben Fine was both one of the world's strongest grandmasters of chess and one of the world's leading authorities on psychoanalysis. In this book, he combines the two disciplines. This Fischer-Spassky book is really three books in one.
Bobby Fischer's Conquest of the World Chess Championship
21st Century Edition
London 1922 is important for all these reasons, but it also served as the setting for the creation of the famous 'London Rules' which would for years govern the way in which prospective challengers to the title would have the right to play the champion. As an added bonus, all fourteen games of the 1921 Capablanca-Lasker title match - with annotations by Capa himself - have been added to this new 21st-century edition.

Alekhine's Controversial Masterpiece Finally in English! For decades, Alexander Alekhine's account of New York 1927 was at the top of the list of works that should have been rendered into English but unaccountably were not. Not only do you have one of the greatest annotators of all time rendering some brilliant analysis, but he melds it with an exceptional agenda, an anti-Capablanca agenda.

The Louis D. Statham Chess Tournaments - 1971-1980
The Lone Pine tournaments were the strongest and most prestigious Swiss System tournaments in the world during the ten year period from 1971 to 1980. This RHM Series of high quality chess books was the brain child of Sidney Fried (born 22 June 1919 - died 1 June 1991). Sidney Fried was not a strong player but was an aficionado or big fan of chess.
The Best of Lone Pine
The Book of the Louis D. Statham Lone Pine Masters-Plus Tournament 1975
Lone Pine 1975 was the first ever truly Grandmaster Swiss event. Today, with many grandmaster Swiss events taking place every year, such as the Aeroflot Open, the Reykjavik Open, and many others, not to mention the World Open, bringing together 22 grandmasters to play in a Swiss tournament does not seem that remarkable. Even the title, Grandmaster Chess, seems to be a bit hackneyed with so many grandmaster events being played today.
Grandmaster Chess
An Account of the Lessing Rosenwald Tournament - NY 1954-1955
Trophy Chess was one of Bobby Fischer's favorite books. He studied it with great care during his sudden appearance right after this tournament and his rapid rise to the top, culminating in his winning his first of eight US Chess Championships in 1957/58. It is nicely laid out and designed and is easy to read. In his famous "My 60 Memorable Games" Fischer later collaborated with Evans, who served as his second during his rise to the world championship and became one of America's best-selling chess authors with over 20 books to his credit.
Trophy Chess
International Grandmaster Chess Tournament Held in Los Angeles, CA in August 1963
To help bring to the United States chess of the highest quality in the world, Mrs. Gregor Piatigorsky and her husband, the world renowned cellist, created the Piatigorsky Cup as a symbol of excellence in chess. Along with the trophy went the finest playing conditions and the highest prizes ever offered for any chess event. For the first time since 1932, a world chess champion appeared in an American tournament when Tigran Petrosian, USSR, joined seven other of the greatest international grandmasters in a month of competition at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.
First Piatigorsky Cup International
Kasparov vs. Karpov - 1975-1985
This volume concentrates on the first two of those matches. The epic 1984/85 contest which was lasted six months before being controversially halted "without result" by the then President of FIDE Florencio Campomanes. The 1985 match when Kasparov brilliantly won the final game to take the title and become - at the age of 22 - the youngest ever world champion. Great chess contests have often had resonances extending beyond the 64 squares. The Fischer v Spassky match was played during the Cold War with both champions being perceived as the finest products of their respective ideologies.
Garry Kasparov on Modern Chess - VOLUME II
Kasparov vs. Karpov 1988-2009
Between 1984 and 1990 Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov contested five long matches for the World Championship. This fourth volume of the series 'Garry Kasparov on Modern Chess' concentrates on all the games played between the two from 1988 to the present day and features their fifth World Championship match played in New York and Lyon 1990.

State Rep. Ellen Roberts, a moderate Republican, appeared to be winning the party's nomination for Senate District 6 in southwest Colorado.
In early returns, Roberts, a state House member from Durango who has served two terms, led Dean Boehler of Norwood by 53.4 percent to 46.5 percent.
The Senate race was expected to serve as one of the bellwethers of Tea Party strength.
Tea Party groups did not endorse either candidate, but a number of members supported Boehler over Roberts, who struggled to make the ballot at the Senate District 6 GOP assembly this year.
The winner faces Sen. Bruce Whitehead, a Democrat from Hesperus, in November.
Meanwhile, in House District 44 in Douglas County, Polly Lawrence and Chris Holbert were battling to win a three-way fight for the seat held by Minority Leader Mike May, of Parker, who is term-limited.
Early returns showed Holbert leading with 39.5 percent, while Lawrence was close behind with 38.3 percent and Parker Mayor David Casiano had 22.1 percent.
There is no Democrat running for the seat.

Report: Tiger Woods Has a New Girlfriend
Johnston is no stranger to the sports world or to Woods. She is the daughter of baseball player Jeff Lahti and the stepdaughter of Alastair Johnston, the former vice chairman of IMG, the sports-management firm which helped Woods sign his $60 million deal with Nike in 1996.
The New York Post reports that the two have known each other since she was just 7 years old.
According to her Facebook profile, Johnston is attending Northwood University in Florida, close to Woods' Orlando estate.
The Post reports the 22-year-old was arrested last year near her stepfather's estate for suspicion of DUI. She ended up pleading no contest to reckless driving in December.
Johnston is also reportedly training for the LPGA tour. She previously played volleyball for the University of New Hampshire.

TO GIGI: Nice try but no one reading will begin to be convinced by your reply. Let's just take a simple principle in philosophy and epistemology and go with the simplest and most obvious reason instead of a useless convoluted discourse. Most black athletes and celebs date non-black women b/c they find them more feminine and attractive-period. I apologize for further flaming your angry black woman anger but the truth is often painful to accept.

Here's a fun game for this week: Count the number of times Democratic supporters of the war-funding measure say their bill isn't a "blank check," and how many times Republican supporters of the immigration bill say their legislation isn't "amnesty."
That's what it's come down to for the leaders of the two parties in Congress -- a scramble to calm anger on the Democrats' left, and the Republicans' right. Compromise usually happens in the middle, so maybe the pieces are in place for major legislative accomplishments. But the political cross-currents are strong on these two measures; nothing motivates politicians like self-preservation, and nothing threatens primary challenges like the issues of Iraq (for Democrats) and immigration (for Republicans).
The early reviews of the new war-funding bill are in, and check out the verbs being used to describe the Democrats: "flinching," "blinked," "abandoned," "gave up," "relented," "capitulate." Even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, R-Calif., is saying she'll probably vote against "such a thing," since it has no timetable for troop withdrawal. Democrats had little choice, and they tossed in some sweeteners for their base -- Katrina aid and a minimum-wage increase. With Republicans declaring victory, the measure is on track to pass this week. But the liberal base is not staying quiet on this one, and this is hardly what Democrats had in mind when they won control of Congress. "The decision to back down was a wrenching reversal for leading Democrats, who saw their election triumph in November as a call to force an end to the war," writes Carl Hulse of The New York Times.
The immigration bill survived a key test vote yesterday, with the "guest worker" plan staying intact. But proponents know they're still on shaky ground -- and grass-roots opposition from all sides is likely to grow over the Memorial Day break. "The intensity of the debate signaled steep challenges for the bipartisan group of senators who wrote the bill and were working to protect its core features, which they think are essential to draw enough votes to pass," Nicole Gaouette writes in the Los Angeles Times.
President Bush, who has perhaps the biggest stake in the current congressional debates, speaks at the Coast Guard Academy's graduation at 11:15 am ET today, an hour after Monica Goodling (finally) testifies on Capitol Hill on the US attorneys scandal.
Bush today is planning to rally support for the war by citing intelligence reports that have Osama bin Laden ordering "a terrorist unit to hit targets outside Iraq, and that the United States should be first [hit]," per the Associated Press' Deb Riechmann.
ABC's Brian Ross reported last night that the president has signed a "nonlethal presidential finding" authorizing "a CIA plan that reportedly includes a coordinated campaign of propaganda, disinformation and manipulation of Iran's currency and international financial transactions." Makes us feel safer already.

In the win column again following back-to-back losses, the Calgary Flames know they have to keep picking up points if they're going to make a move up the Western Conference standings. Getting that done in Anaheim could prove difficult. The Flames will try to snap a 13-game road losing streak in this series on Monday night when they face a Ducks team that's run into difficulties following an outstanding stretch last month. Calgary (24-22-6) had dropped the first two contests on its three-game homestand following a 5-1-1 surge, but avoided a third consecutive loss with Friday's 3-1 victory over Chicago. The Flames, four points back of eighth-place Minnesota in the West, now open a three-game trip against Pacific Division opponents with their first of two visits to Anaheim this season. "More than anything, we just have to climb," captain Jarome Iginla told the Flames' official website after scoring a goal and setting up another Friday. "We have to get ourselves on a roll here."

My oily / acne - prone skin loves this foundation! I use Honey Beige Medium 100 on my medium tan skin. It blends smoothly perfectly (I use my fingers). Buildable coverage without looking cakey. Also works well as a concealer for my under eye dark circles. My acne isn't irritated by this *knock on wood*. My only con: the packaging. I wish it came with a pump! I have spilled a few times trying to get it out, not knowing if the foundation was coming out of the bottle or not. Overall, it's so awesome and worth the price.

I'm very fond of this product. It does stay put as advertised. It's easy to blend as well. I like that it dries quickly. My only complaint is that I wish they came out with it in a lighter shade. Even the lightest they have is a little too orange for me. Why do these companies never consider that some of us are very pale?

This foundation is OK. It does smooth on very easily but I'd hardly say 24 hour. I have normal skin so Im not really sure why it doesn't last very long. It is very hard to match your skin colour with this foundation. My skin varies from being extremely tanned to very very pale and I think when im tanned this foundation works quiet well expecially if I build it up a fair bit when I go out at night and set it with powder but for during the day and when I am pale it looks terrible. It does the job is all I can conclude with.

Awful colors. The most pale shade was dark pink. Who has skin that color? Oxidized to a worse color during the day. Did cover well but since my face was 10 shades darker than my neck I looked ridiculous. I'm very porcelain white.

This is not a bad foundation...but the fact that to me (with oily skin), it is not a super staying power. Revlon Color stay and Estee Lauder Double Wear are both trully "staying" (even when sweating or even swimming ocassionally). However, this one does NOT come off too fast either, just that I didn't find this one to be long wearing, but it blends very nice and has a nice light coverage that does seem blendable.

makes your face look really cakey due to the matte finish, adding powder over it makes it look worse. There's transfer even though it says it has zero transfer, not sweatproof, and doesn't last all day but i blame my skin for being oily for the last point

I used to use the L'Oreal True Match which was my favorite for a while but when I tried to apply and blend the product with my fingers, it was all streaky and cakey!!!!! The next foundation on my list to try out was the Maybelline Superstay. Now, I'm not that big of a fan of Maybelline's foundation. (Fit Me was too dark and Dream oxidized) I did hear good reviews on this product. I bought it and of course, no pump. I didn't stress to much about it because a lot of foundations don't come with pumps. I am porcelain ivory and I thought this would oxidize on me but after a few hours, the color was still the same great matching shade and also stayed on very well. I like that it doesn't have any SPF so it's great for photos and it is VERY blendable with the fingers and doesn't look cakey either. I haven't found the perfect foundation until I used this stuff! Great job Maybelline! One con about this stuff is the smell. It does not last on your face though so overall I give it a 5. By far my FAVORITE foundation!!! (It goes great with the concealer too!)

This foundation was the WORST I've EVER used! I purchased the lightest shade for my combination skin (Around NC20) and the coverage was good! I was impressed at first. Then, halfway through the day it completely oxidized and I looked completely orange. It looked TERRIBLE on my skin and it melted onto my phone. 'Nuff said.

I bought this foundation when I forgot my normal foundation (MAC Studio Sculpt in NC25) and did the best I could to match it with me in the shop without any samples (ended up with Nude which is extremely orange:( . The colour looked great but when I tried it on it dries darker. Still suits me okay now that it's summer where I am but I found that really disappointing, I find the colours are a little hard to match to yourself (they seem extremely orange and quite deceiving) However the formula is AMAZING. I love how it glides on to your face SO smoothly and gives up to full coverage without feeling heavy on the face and blends out like an absolute charm. I don't like how there's no pump on the bottle however it wouldn't stop me from buying if I'm able to find a good match. It's my favuorite formula yet for a foundation, doesn't budge either!

Exception handling possible?
Netbeans 6 is showing me an exception on the code below, but unfortunately the exception is not being caught.
"uncaught FX exception: java.net.ConnectException java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect"
operation MyClass.connectURL(urlString:String) {
try {
do later {
var url = new URL( urlString );
var is = url.openStream();
// When connection not available, further lines are not executed
// nor does the exception get caught
var reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
} catch (e:ConnectException) {
errorString = "Connection error.";
Does JavaFX support exception handling? Can someone please tell me how to deal with this situation?
Yes, JavaFX Script does support exception handling. If you're willing, I'd suggest porting this program to compiled JavaFX Script, as the interpreted version is a prototype. I've found exception handling, and thread concurrency, to be very reliable in compiled JavaFX Script. Also, if you do have any problems, you can file an issue in JIRA, where with interpreted JavaFX Script improvements are no longer being made (again, it served as a prototype).
To help you get up to speed on compiled JavaFX Script, I'm writing a tutorial series for Sun entitled "Creating Rich Internet Apps With Compiled JavaFX Script". The first installment is at:
In addition, the "Helping you become a JavaFXpert" weblog has lots of compiled JavaFX Script instruction and examples. I'd recommend starting with the "Converting Your Second JavaFX Script Program to Compiled Syntax" post, and working through the posts forward in time.
Along the way, you'll run into the Rosetta Stone post, which is a little dated, but deals with the syntax differences. Also, the Achieving Closure post has an example of concurrency using the Thread class (as opposed to the "do/do later" that aren't going to be in compiled JavaFX Script).
In both versions of JavaFX Script, by the way, exception syntax is very similar to Java (try/catch, etc.)
Hope this helps,
Jim Weaver
OK. That seems the way to go from what I've read. I've already gone over your first tutorial on the sun site.
I just wish the compiling was better incorporated into NetBeans.
Even when I tried to run the scripted version from within Netbeans to debug the server code, NetBeans just repeatedly froze.
Compiled JavaFX Script support in NetBeans is being developed alongside the JavaFX Script compiler, so I don't think that we'll have to wait too long for a pretty stable release of both. JavaOne seems to be a punctuation point each year. If I had to guess, I'd say that at least milestone release 3 of compiled JavaFX Script, with some degree of support within NetBeans, will be available by JavaOne. I don't work for Sun, so my prediction and 4 dollars will get you a Latte :-)

I hope Anderson won't tap and gets chocked out or a broken appendage like the other washed up members of his faithful circle. A broken arm would be sweet.

I\'m not sure why would people give 5 stars for a movie like this...oh well, guess different people have different taste in movies. I mean it wasn\'t the worst movie I\'ve seen but it certain doesn\'t deserve 4 or 5 stars. It\'s just one of those movie you watch to kill time. It has very predictable story line. I feel bad for Colin Farrell that he now has to make a movie like this....

A resource for reliable information about significant people, places, events, and things in Minnesota history.
Recruited in the fall of 1861, Brackett's Battalion served longer than any other Minnesota unit during the Civil War. After campaigning in the Western Theater, the Battalion participated in the Northwestern Indian Expeditions of 1864 and 1865.
In March 1853 Goodhue County was created by Minnesota's territorial legislature. It was formed from the original Wabasha County, which lay between the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.
Alexander, seen here as a sergeant, was promoted to second lieutenant in October 1862 and to first lieutenant in September 1863. He was appointed acting assistant quartermaster in October 1864. Private William Kinkead was taken prisoner in February 1863 and was exchanged in May 1863. In early 1864 he was transferred to the Adjutant General's Office in Washington, D.C. Photograph c.1862.
Photograph of the Second Minnesota Artillery monument at Chickamauga, Georgia, c.1890.
The Second Battery of Minnesota Light Artillery fought in some of the major battles in the Civil War's Western Theater. In their three and a half years of service, the Second's officers and men had the unique experience of functioning in all branches of the army-artillery, cavalry, and infantry.
Photograph of a monument to the First Battery of Minnesota Light Artillery in Vicksburg National Military Park, 1907.
This reunion photo was taken on June 26, 1888 in Winona. Those veterans in the photo are identified with hand-written notes beneath the photo.
This battle flag of the 1st Battery, Minnesota Light Artillery consists of one layer of red silk with a gold knotted fringe around the perimeter and three pairs of ties for attachment to the staff. The flag is adorned with battle honors encompassing much of the battery's service.
The First Battery of Minnesota Light Artillery played a critical role in the first major battle of the Civil War. The performance of its officers and men at Shiloh and elsewhere in the Western Theater gave rise to an enviable service record and added to the young state's prestige.

Talk about seeing a world in a grain of sand. A sprinkling of asteroid dust that slipped into Japan's Hayabusa probe when it touched down on the asteroid Itokawa six years ago has revealed surprising details about the space rock's past and its likely future.
Hayabusa was meant to land on the 500-metre-wide asteroid in 2005 and fire projectiles into its surface, scooping up the resulting debris for later return to Earth. But the projectiles never fired, and team members had to wait five long years for the probe, which suffered numerous equipment failures, to limp back to Earth (see a picture of it after it touched down in Australia).
They hoped that some asteroid dust had managed to find its way into Hayabusa's collection chamber when the probe touched Itokawa, but even when they saw dust there they were sceptical. "It was me who opened the sample catcher," says Tomoki Nakamura of Tohoku University in Sendai. "I could not believe they were real Itokawa samples."
Now, he and dozens of other researchers are reporting their analyses of the samples, which comprise more than 1500 rocky particles from Itokawa, all smaller than 0.2 millimetres across.
Larger parent
The studies suggest that Itokawa was once part of a much larger asteroid. The conclusion is based on the fact that the particles show a range of minerals that must have reached 800 °C to form (see picture). The decay of radioactive aluminium isotopes could have created that much heat if the parent body was at least 20 kilometres across – 40 times its current size, Nakamura and his collaborators say.
"The body needs to be big; otherwise, it would lose the temperature too quickly for these processes to occur," says Trevor Ireland of the Australian National University in Canberra, who analysed some of the samples.
Indeed, data from Hayabusa itself had already determined that Itokawa has had its share of knocks in the past. The asteroid's gravitational pull on the probe revealed that Itokawa has a very low density, suggesting it is a rocky rubble pile that probably coalesced after its parent body was smashed in an impact.
Solar wind
The samples also hint at a bleak future for Itokawa. Keisuke Nagao of the University of Tokyo and colleagues studied noble gases, such as neon, in three grains. These gases can be implanted by charged particles streaming in from the solar wind and even from beyond the solar system.
The results suggest that the grains have been exposed to these charged particles for no more than 8 million years. This implies either that Itokawa coalesced 8 million years ago, or that it loses tens of centimetres of material from its surface every million years, exposing new layers of rubble in the process.
This could occur if dust grains lifted off the surface after micrometeoroid impacts simply float away from the lightweight asteroid. If Itokawa is losing its surface at that rate, it may completely disappear in less than a billion years.
Disappearing space rock
"It's a bit sad to think it will eventually disappear," says Scott Sandford of NASA's Ames Research Center in California, who analysed some of the samples.
But he adds: "The 'disappearance' of Itokawa has its compensations. For one thing, I'd rather Itokawa be whittled away then to have it run into the Earth as a single object, which would cause some serious issues for the Earth if it happened. Also, one should remember that it is the process of whittling away at asteroids like Itokawa that produces the smaller meteoroids that ultimately land on the Earth as meteorites."
This particular finding about its future may actually have been helped by Hayabusa's failure to fire projectiles into the asteroid. "Solar wind penetrates only 100 nanometres or so into rock," says Ireland. "The gun firing would have meant that the projectile penetrated into the asteroid, pushing out chips and fragments." That would have made it "very hard to isolate surface pieces, which is where the solar wind resides", he adds.
Link confirmed
The samples' composition matches that of the most common type of meteorite found on Earth, called ordinary chondrites. Since Itokawa is classified as a stony S-type asteroid – the most common kind in the inner asteroid belt, the analyses confirm that ordinary chondrites come from S-type asteroids.
The studies also highlight the importance of returning samples from extraterrestrial bodies to Earth for study. "The analysis apparatus is too heavy to carry to an asteroid," Nakamura told New Scientist.
Alexander Krot at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, who was not part of the team, says two other sample-return missions – Japan's Hayabusa-2 and NASA's OSIRIS-Rex – will blast off in 2014 and 2016 to collect samples from asteroids rich in minerals that formed in water.
These could reveal clues about "one of the most outstanding questions in planetary science – the origin of Earth's water", he says in a commentary in Science. Studies of hydrogen isotopes in the water-formed minerals in the target asteroids could help determine if Earth's water was delivered by asteroids or comets or simply came from the dust from which the planet formed.

Fort Lauderdale
Restaurants in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale has a population of 170,000 and it's the largest city in Broward County, with a population of almost 2 million. That's good news for travelers: Fort Lauderdale's restaurants don't charge resort prices for mediocre food. It's a city with a full range of restaurants, from fine dining to fast food, whose owners know that the bread and butter of their businesses, so to speak, aren't travelers passing through. There are a few restaurants in Fort Lauderdale that should be on every visitor's list. Ernie's Bar-B-Q is an institution, a no-nonsense, no-attitude dive bar/restaurant where the specialties include the conch chowder and the Bimini bread—a soft, sweet bread used on their sandwiches, including the especially tasty pulled pork ones. Cap's Place is Fort Broward County's oldest restaurant and, according to its regulars, one of the best restaurants in Fort Lauderdale. It sits on its own island, and you can only get here on the restaurant's private ferry. Past guests who have made the journey to dine on its seafood specialties include figures as diverse as Winston Churchill and Meyer Lansky.
A funky 24/7 diner that remains a shrine to kitsch, down to the "Champagne room," with a chandelier and pinup photos of Marilyn Monroe.
Health-minded sea grill
Founded in 1928 by legendary bootlegger Eugene "Cap" Knight, this former gambling den and supper club is a ramshackle assortment of atmospheric wooden shacks, a lackadaisical affair decorated with images of old Florida that serves a mean house smoked-fish dip.
This trendy celebrity-magnet restaurant's organic and vegan menu continually wins converts—especially for the piccata with lemon-caper sauce.
Asian-inspired dining room
The sleek centerpiece of the newly upscale north beach area, Trina, located in Starwood's Atlantic Hotel, is the brainchild of consulting chef Don Pintabona—formerly of Manhattan's Tribeca Grill—who creates Mediterranean-influenced dishes like tagine-baked Florida grouper with almond couscous.

Just a cursory glance at the record puts the lie to his blatant blame-shifting.

Jon Gosselin Slims Down, Loses His Beer Belly
Looks like Kate Gosselin isn't the only one shaping up. Jon Gosselin was photographed on the beach looking much slimmer than he did earlier this year. Gosselin's beer belly even appears to be more toned! In a new InTouch Weekly interview given exclusively to PopEater, his friends reveal what's behind Jon's dramatic weight loss.
"Jon's made time for himself," Gosselin's friend tells the magazine. "Jon's own dad never took care of himself and died at an early age, so Jon is doing whatever he can to ensure he'll be around for his kids as long as possible."
Following the aftermath of his divorce, Jon stopped going to the gym and fell back into his bachelor lifestyle, which included lots of partying with young women.
"He was traveling to events, going on vacations and drinking, so he didn't have a normal, healthy routine," a friend adds.
In January, he allegedly told friends that he "didn't feel good," and decided to establish a strict diet and workout routine. According to his friends, he runs on the treadmill three days a week and eats smaller, healthy meals. "He's been working out a lot, and he never drinks beer," his friend adds.
His eight children have also taken notice of his leaner physical appearance. "They tell him he looks great and that's the best feeling for him," his friend gushes.
For more on Gosselin, check out the new issue of In Touch Weekly, on newsstands now.

Jon looks great. I love how all people judge what he does. Yes in the past he went crazy with going out etc but WHO WOULDN'T after being married to that shrew of a woman? She belittled him, treated him horribly and thought NOTHING of it. I DARE anyone of you to treat your husbands like that and see what happens. I guarantee you will be divorced in less then a year. That poor guy endured that for ten years. His kids are always smiling when they are with him. Unlike that crazy animal sorry excuse of a mom they have.

Tess is absolutely right! Being married to a woman like that will destroy your psyche. I can't say that I blame him for going over the edge. Remeber, her own brother spoke out about how controlling and greedy she is. C'mon, open your eyes!

I agree with you 100 per cent. Kate drove him away, which I think he's better off. He's there for the kids when she's out running all over the country looking for publicity.

He's not a jerk. He's been thru alot and his ex-wife is the witch from hell. But it's time he gets his priorties straight and make it ok for those kids. They had no say in the decisions their parents made so Jon needs to make sure they aren't the ones who pay.

Face it Jon. You deserted your wife and kids to chase some young tail. You acted like a 20 year old frat boy.

Jon Gosselin looks a whole lot better in this latest picture! That beer belly is gone! He doesn't have that blubber, flabby like midsection anymore. He looks more fit, even trimmed up now. Maybe he got rid of drinking all those beers and hanging out at bars at night. While I don't like his bad boy image, at least he's making the effort to stay in shape.
- Wednesday 21 July
Really!? He doesn't look much different at all, as if he had this HUGE beer belly before. He just looks more tan in the beach pic, thats all. Please stop showing his nasty stomach up close, its grossing me out. He is such a douche.

MOUNT VERNON, Iowa - One day after their contentious, finger-pointing debate, President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney vied aggressively for the support of women voters Wednesday, as they and their running mates charged across nearly a half-dozen battleground states in the close race for the White House with 20 days to run.Not even Republicans disputed that Obama's debate performance was much stronger than the listless showing two weeks earlier that helped spark a rise in the polls for Romney. The two rivals meet one more time, next Monday in Florida.

The Triangle Metric: Fast Link Quality Estimation for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks
Date Added: May 2010
Format: PDF
Link quality estimation is a thorny problem in wireless sensor networks, because its accuracy affects the design and the efficiency of networking protocols and applications. Especially in the context of low-power wireless, estimating the link quality poses a sort of catch-22 dilemma, whereby a large number of packet samples are required to accurately estimate a channel, but only a few samples should be used due to limited energy resources. This paradox becomes even more severe in mobile wireless sensor networks, since the high variability of the medium imposes even stricter constraints on the timing in which the estimation has to be carried out.
