Trojan asteroid found orbiting Uranus
Thu, 29 Aug 2013 14:10 UTC
A Trojan asteroid is a transient space rock which is temporarily captured by the gravity of a giant planet. It shares the planet's orbital path, locked into a specific position known as a Lagrange point. What makes 2011 QF99 unusual is its presence in the outer solar system. Researchers found the scenario a bit unlikely. Why? The answer is simply because of planet size. According to theory, the strong gravitational pull of the larger neighboring planets should have destabilized any captured asteroid's orbit and shot Uranian Trojans out of the neighborhood long ago.
So just how did this 60 kilometer-wide conglomeration of ice and rock end up circling Uranus? Astronomers turned towards computer modeling for the answer. The research team, including UBC astronomers Brett Gladman, Sarah Greenstreet and colleagues at the National Research Council of Canada and Observatoire de Besancon in France, did a simulation of the solar system and its co-orbital objects - including Trojan asteroids. A short-term animation showing the motion of 2011 QF99, as seen from above the north pole of the solar system can be found here.
"Surprisingly, our model predicts that at any given time three percent of scattered objects between Jupiter and Neptune should be co-orbitals of Uranus or Neptune," says Mike Alexandersen, lead author of the study to be published tomorrow in the journal Science.
Until now, no one had made any estimates on the percentage of possible outer solar system Trojans. Unexpectedly, the amount ended up being far greater than earlier estimates. Just over the last 10 years, several temporary Trojans and co-orbitals have been cataloged and 2011 QF99 is one of them. It made its home around Uranus within the last few hundred thousand years and will eventually - in about a million years - escape Uranus' gravity.
"This tells us something about the current evolution of the solar system," says Alexandersen. "By studying the process by which Trojans become temporarily captured, one can better understand how objects migrate into the planetary region of the solar system."

Katherine Hale
Katherine's Story
"The most important thing in my life is being a mom," Katherine Hale proudly admits. That's why when Katherine's local doctor diagnosed her with uterine cancer and told her nothing more could be done, she told him "I have three kids. I'm not giving up."
Choosing MD Anderson
It was because of her husband, Paul, and children Heston, Lauren and Pamela that Katherine chose to fight cancer. Now she just had to choose where. "My brother-in-law. He suggested MD Anderson. He's a doctor," Katherine says. She immediately went online and began reading MD Anderson's survivor stories. The decision was made. "They have successfully been helping people fight cancer for years, so why wouldn't I go there?" she asks. "If you have a foot problem, you don't go to a dentist."
Treatment from MD Anderson
From the moment she checked into MD Anderson, Katherine's team of doctors worked together to develop a treatment customized for her.
Diane Bodurka, Katherine's gynecologic oncologist, knew that Katherine's uterine cancer had spread to her ovaries. Dr. Bodurka says, "Our concern was that radiation only would not be adequate." Therefore, Dr. Bodurka worked with a team of doctors to design a custom treatment plan for Katherine. "Katherine really had a will to live," she says. "We gave her chemotherapy with the radiation to make sure every bit of the cancer was gone."
Katherine's radiation oncologist also spoke with her daily about how the treatments were affecting her. "We knew each other on a first-name basis," Katherine says. "The facility, the support, the volunteers – everything was just awesome. I don't think I would've had an experienced team of doctors and scientists like that anywhere else," she says. "MD Anderson has been known for making cancer history. Well, seven years ago, they made my cancer history."
Life Now
When asked what she's been up to since her remission, Katherine mentions the three acres she and her husband now have in the country. But, of course, the conversation immediately turns to her kids. "Both my daughters are married. My son – he recently graduated from college and is building his first home. Oh, and I also have a new granddaughter," she says.
"Raising three wonderful children is my one greatest accomplishment in life," Katherine says, "and surviving cancer is my second."

LOCKPORT – An admitted crack cocaine user who washed out of the judicial diversion program of court-supervised drug treatment was sentenced to four years in prison Wednesday.
Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas had kicked James W. Jones, 48, of 15th Street, Niagara Falls, out of the treatment program in February after drug court staffers accused him of using the diversion program only as a means to stay out of prison. He had failed several drug tests during his seven months in the program.
Jones had pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance for having crack in his pocket when a parole officer visited him Jan. 18, 2012.

A prostitution charge was dropped Tuesday in Pembroke Town Court against a former reality TV star from Williamsville, according to the Genesee County District Attorney's Office.
Alicia Guastaferro, 21, who faced scorn and ridicule after appearing with her family on ABC's "Wife Swap" in 2008, still faces charges of possession of a controlled substance and criminal impersonation in the Aug. 27 incident, in which she was found in a car at a Thruway rest stop with a Rochester attorney slumped over the wheel.
Guastaferro, then 20, and James D. Doyle, 54, were found "improperly parked" at the Pembroke service area shortly after midnight by a trooper investigating a report of an erratic driver.
Guastaferro told investigators that Doyle regularly paid her for sex, bought her alcohol and provided her with a fake ID so that she could drink with him.
However, Assistant District Attorney Robert Zickl told The Buffalo News on Wednesday that further investigation by state police found the prostitution charge was not merited and that it was dropped at his office's request.
Prosecutors also dropped a charge of patronizing a prostitute against Doyle, but he still faces charges of driving while intoxicated and unlawful dealing with a child, as well as numerous traffic violations. Both Doyle and Guastaferro have denied wrongdoing.
Guastaferro is due back in Town Court on March 12.

This issue of Myeloma Today is sponsored in part by an unrestricted educational grant from Novartis Pharmaceuticals.
Salt Lake City has a beautiful new courthouse across from City Hall on State Street. It's named for a former governor, Scott M. Matheson. In the rotunda of the courthouse, a life-size bronze statue of Governor Matheson comes striding out to meet you, its hand extended. It captures the energy Scott Matheson had in life. He was an extraordinary man.
Scott Matheson
Scott Matheson died at the age of 61 from multiple myeloma. In the 1950's, when he worked as a local prosecutor in the town of Parowan in southern Utah, he used to go out with friends early in the morning to watch the flash from atomic bomb tests more than a hundred miles away in Nevada. Like most people in that era, he didn't think much about the fallout that spread from the test site across the West, and in fact, across the country. Today, there's enough association between multiple myeloma and fallout exposure to include it on the list of diseases for which compensation is available from the federal government under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act. Matheson's family believes it was the cause of his cancer.
It may have been for me as well, though it's difficult to know for sure. I used to spend part of every summer at my grandmother's home in Kanab, just north of the Arizona state line. It's likely I was exposed to fallout from the Sedan test in 1962, possibly the dirtiest nuclear weapons explosion in the history of the program. I was six years old.
In January 2003, I was home with a respiratory infection when I felt a severe pain in my chest after a hard coughing spell. The next day I went to the doctor, who took an x-ray, and found a spot he was worried about. Three weeks of follow-up diagnostics later, I was told I had multiple myeloma. A plasmacytoma on my 6th rib had caused a pathological fracture. Without that, I might not have been diagnosed until the disease was in a much more advanced stage. As it is, I'm in Stage I.
I've been through radiation treatments for the plasmacytoma and I'm now getting thalidomide and dexamethasone. Eventually, I'll enter the University of Utah hospital for a stem cell transplant. While friends, including some other myeloma patients, tell me this will just be a "speed bump" in my life, I have more concern than that, though I've tried not to worry too much about problems that I don't have yet.
Remarkably, having cancer has been among the more positive experiences in my life. I've discovered so many people who really mean it when they ask if there's "anything I can do." That includes a member of a neighborhood church who helps me with my yard (the broken rib is still healing) and a very understanding employer at KUER, the public radio station at the University of Utah (www.kuer.org). My employment comes with excellent medical insurance, and I'm a five-minute walk from the Huntsman Cancer Institute, where I'm getting state-of-the-art medical care. My family has been enormously supportive.
I have to say my religious position has also been a help. I am Buddhist, and having cancer brought to mind a teaching called the Kosala Sutta, in which the Buddha teaches a king whose wife has just died that it is futile to hope that something subject to illness and death, such as ourselves, will not get sick or will not die. To me, it seems a far more realistic position than hoping for a cure through faith. To accept what is seems far more compassionate than to wish for some nebulous maybe.
Perhaps the most difficult challenge I'm facing now is "getting over it." In the three months since my diagnosis, multiple myeloma has dominated my consciousness in a way few other things have. I need to find a way to live with this as a chronic disease, part of my life but not the center of my attention. It seems a given that the cancer will progress, even if my doctors are doing all they can. In the meantime, every day is a precious opportunity for mindful attention to everything from spring violets to the Dixie Chicks.
Scott Matheson was a thoughtful, decent man, a smart politician who spoke often about "good public policy." Utah is far better off for his leadership, though perhaps poorer because he chose not to run for a third term. When he passed away, a newspaper editorial proclaimed him "too young." I disagree. He left us at a time when we could remember his energy and commitment. He was and is an excellent role model, and his example is just one more reason why it seems pointless to feel sorry for myself.
Dan Bammes chronicles his experience with multiple myeloma on his weblog at http://www.mustard.com/myeloma.htm.

TAHOMA, Calif. - Nestled behind the tall pines on the east side of Highway 89 north of Tahoma, the line between fact and fiction blurs on the set where directors Tom Williams and Tom Dolby filmed the final scenes of their first feature-length movie, "Last Weekend," last Wednesday.
The movie and the production process have some unique Tahoe twists, not least of which is the Dolby estate where most of the film takes place. The house appeared in the 1951 movie "A Place in the Sun," starring Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift. That estate, plus various appearances by basin wildlife - a bear prowled across the beach one day and a snake slithered through the set another - and a League to Save Lake Tahoe party featured in the flick adds to the unique Tahoe feel of "Last Weekend."
The independent film stars Patricia Clarkson (The Green Mile, Shutter Island) and Zachary Booth (Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Taking Woodstock) and is set over a Labor Day Weekend holiday at the house. Clarkson plays Celia Green, a mother from San Francisco who plans a leisurely vacation at the lake for her husband, her two sons and their friends and partners.
"It's a dark comedy of manners. It's a family from San Francisco. They've come up to Tahoe to spend the weekend at their family house and their sons have brought along a boyfriend, a girlfriend and other friends. And they expect that it will be a wonderful, idyllic weekend. In fact, chaos ensues," Dolby said.
One of the guests nearly dies from an allergic reaction, and the caretaker, Hector, gets electrocuted one night and taken to the hospital. That hospital might seem familiar to some South Shore residents - Barton Memorial Hospital opened its doors to the crew to film the scene.
Ray O'Brien, the estate's real caretaker, said one of the neighbors was indeed electrocuted in the past, the event that inspired the accident in the film. O'Brien, who just retired as a captain with the North Tahoe Fire Protection District, said he's worked on the estate for 25 years and that he's grown up with the family.
The parallels between fact and fiction continue. Dolby spent weekends on the same estate that the fictional Green family owns and vacations at. Dolby said the family purchased the house, whose value O'Brien estimates between $15 million to $18 million, in 1979.
"It has been preserved beautifully by my parents and others. We were hoping to give a second life to the house in terms of making our film. It had one life on screen back in the 1950s, now we hope we're giving it another one," Dolby said.
"We'd been coming up here since my parents bought the house, so I've always loved Tahoe and appreciated its natural beauty. I wanted to make a film that showed that," he said.
Not only does the film show off aspects of Tahoe, it also brings in some important revenue to the basin, said Kathleen Dodge, executive director of the El Dorado Lake Tahoe Film and Media Office. Local artists and companies were able to take advantage of product placement in the movie, and according to Dodge, the movie business employs many Tahoe residents.
"Tahoe is a destination. It's a location that cannot be matched. The film office has over 200 percent return on investments," Dodge said. "But we look beyond the direct money. We look at how many people the movie can employ, and it creates opportunities for young filmmakers they might not otherwise have."
Tahoe has seen its fair share of movies. From "Smoking Aces" in 2007 to "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" in 1984, the lake has served as the backdrop for movies both big and small. With a less-than $2 million budget, Dolby said the crew is aiming to first get "Last Weekend" in Sundance Film Festival, and then aim for a theater showing.
Williams, the film's other director, said they wanted the film to explore some of the real eccentricities and problems families deal with on a regular basis.
"We wanted it to be realistic. And I think it's also something true that you don't see the milestones in your life coming. What adds up to your decision to do something isn't necessarily a monumental event," Williams said.

Circa 1863 Civil War Era Autograph Book of 208 Signatures Including Abraham Lincoln
Starting Bid - $2,000.00, Sold For - $5,800.00
Civil War autograph album of 208 signatures with four U.S. Presidents including Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Andrew Jackson and then General of the Union Army, U.S. Grant. Included are many other important political and military figures. This is an extraordinary Civil War-era autograph album, containing a fabulous assemblage of signatures, most of which appear to have been collected at the height of the Civil War in 1863. The book, measuring 5.5 x 8.25 inches, consists of 71 neatly disbound pages plus leather covers. Enhancing the presentation possibilities is the fact that the signatures are written or affixed to just one side of each page. The book comprises a "who's who" of Washington in 1863 and includes the signatures of Abraham Lincoln, signed "A. Lincoln," above that of his then Vice President Hannibal Hamlin, signed "H. Hamlin, Maine," alone together on a single page. Approximately 173 signatures are handwritten on the album pages. Thirty-six signatures, including several of the more important personages, are "cuts" pasted into the album including: "Old Hickory" Andrew Jackson, a franking signature "Free Andrew Jackson" on the portion of an envelope with a notation in another hand "the Genl's frank on a letter to chief Justice Taney"; Andrew Johnson; Ulysses S. Grant, "U.S. Grant Maj. Gen. U.S.A. Dec. 6th /63"; George Meade, signature with rank, "Geo. G Meade Majl Genl. of Vols Camdr. A.P." on a 4" x 3" card; William T. Sherman, signature with rank as Major General; George McClellan, signature "Geo McClellan Maj Gen USA" dated Nov. 20, 1863; George H. Thomas, signature with rank; Winfield Scott Hancock, signature with rank removed from a letter; Ambrose Burnside, signature on a small slip adding rank and dated Annapolis, April, 12, 1864; William S. Rosecrans, signature with rank; Quincy Adams Gilmore, signature with rank and sentiment, dated Folly Island, S.C., Nov. 27, 1863; John A. Dix, signature with rank as Major General; Darius Couch; Robert Schenck; George Marston, signature with rank; Samuel P. Heinzelman, signature with rank; Lincoln's first Secretary of War, Simon Cameron, signature with closing removed from a letter; David Henshaw, signature as "Collector." The balance of the signatures (approximately 173) are written directly onto the pages and include such luminaries as Henry Halleck, signed with rank as "Genl. in chief" dated Jan 30, 1864; Salmon P. Chase, dated Feb. 20, 1864; Daniel Sickles; Oakes Ames; Gideon Welles, dated 1864; Charles Sumner; William H. Seward; and Reverdy Johnson. The book also includes numerous senators and congressmen from this pivotal era in American history. All signatures, including that of Abraham Lincoln, are virtually flawless ("9" to "10"), having been perfectly preserved within the confines of the album, protected from light and all elements. This is a remarkable collection of signatures, far more advanced than typically found for such albums, assembled at the height of the Civil War. As noted, pages are neatly disbound. Pages browned at extreme edges, otherwise interior pages are bright and clean, in Very Good to Excellent condition. LOA from Steve Grad & John Reznikoff/PSA DNA. Reserve $2,000. Estimate $4,000/$6,000. SOLD FOR $5,800.00

Specs wise I don't see any huge difference between Xperia Hayabusa and Xperia Mint.
I'm not really a tech savvy and don't know if Quad-core processors are compatible at the moment and all that, but, I would really love to see Sony coming up with a Quad-core phone and competing with the likes of Samsung's Galaxy S III, HTC's One X, LG's Optimus 4X etc.
21. CamaroSS (Posts: 173; Member since: 24 Jul 2012)
Sony seems to be on a mission to flood the market this year - which is find and dandy. But I'd love to see more diversity in specs. This LT30 and LT29 (Hayabusa) seem pretty close. I want to see an Xperia with Quad-core and 2GB memory and some more with better LCDs/OLEDs as well.
24. w595vsgamit (Posts: 8; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
your quadcore uses cortex A9
s4 uses Cortex A15
26. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
Nice, but let's face it, Samsung is the King of Android. Can you imagine what the Galaxy Nexus 2 would have, if the Galaxy S III already has all this?
27. Lawliet (Posts: 160; Member since: 02 Jul 2012)
No, because Nexus is worse than S2, spec-wise
29. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
Do you forget that it's been more than a year since the release of Nexus? Whatever the Nexus 2 will have, it will be better than the Galaxy S III, which in itself is already amazing.
30. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
aaaa yea they're goona make it better than their precious S3 im sure of it.....
31. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
Well that only makes sense. It's like saying, the iPhone 5 won't have better specs than the 4S. How would that be possible? Nexus is a big name for Samsung, it's not a side project.
Besides, Nexus phones are the ones that set the standards, then the others follow. Why is it that Jelly Bean is only on the Nexus? They don't call it the true Google experience for nothing.
34. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
umm they're not callin the galaxy S3 future proof for no reason dude....the nexus 2....if they make one..."IF"... will be good im sure but sammy has a beloved bride my friend..
37. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
Just look back and you'll have an idea of what the future would be like. The next Nexus will most likely introduce Android 4.2, with the addition of better hardware it'll be more innovative. It's always been that way with Nexus phones. As I said they set it off, then the others come.
But we shall see.
39. cepcamba (Posts: 717; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Samsung Nexus S < Samsung Galaxy S
Samsung Google Nexus < Samsung Galaxy S2
You're saying Nexus sets standards? They just come out with the latest OS coupled with competitive hardware (not top of the line though) and that's about it.
41. romeo1 (Posts: 718; Member since: 06 Jan 2012)
that right nexus is just googles phone to put the latest android on exactly the it was made and ofcourse samsung makes more money on a gs3 phone than the nexus cause they split the profit with google
42. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
They run the latest OS, that's where most of the innovation lies.
45. cepcamba (Posts: 717; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
OS can be updated, hardware remains as is.
46. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
I'm not necessarily talking about hardware, though. Yes, hardware is important, but the true innovative aspect of technology, well, this technology anyway, lies in the software. Developers have not even reached the peak of what they can do on the current hardware of phones. Leaping to quad-core processors wouldn't guarantee anything innovative. Same with consoles. Take the PS3 for instance, they keep pushing its limits higher and higher and create better and better games, yet the hardware has not been upgraded.
Therefore, I would rather want to have a phone running on the latest software, instead of having the latest hardware, thus why I currently have, and will get the next Nexus phone.
47. cepcamba (Posts: 717; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Alright, got your point.
I, on the other hand, want the latest hardware and put a custom rom on it. Like sharpening a scalpel :P
36. Aaron_R96 (Posts: 198; Member since: 22 Jan 2012)
Woah, woah, woah.
a.) who's to say samsung will make the next nexus?
b.) it will almost definately have worse specs than the s3, but still be quite high end.. as the s2 was released before the nexus last year but the s2 was still the better phone spec-wise (nexus looked far better imo) and
c.) Samsung phones still lack the design of the xperia range.. Sony will soon come back hard, especially once Android is optimized for quad core, which is when Sony will male a quad core handset, for now quad core is really just a gimmick selling point and is actually worse than dual core S4 (what the xperia T and hayabusa are going to have)
43. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
a.) It's already confirmed that Samsung is making it.
b.) I highly doubt that, if it doesn't provide at least the same specs, people simply won't purchase it. Like I said, Nexus phones aren't like...Atrix 2, Atrix 3, etc where no one even cares that they're released. Google will make sure it's caught up in the latest standards.
c) I know Sony has potential, but Samsung is on the rise. This will last a long time, just like Apple did.
44. Aaron_R96 (Posts: 198; Member since: 22 Jan 2012)
Where's this confirmed? Send a link if you have it?
And no what your saying is right, but nexus devices have never been the most powerful.. thats not the idea of nexus.. so I doubt itll be upto the specs of the S3 remember the general public dont really care too much for specs (how the iphone still sells) and if that was the case every manufacturer would always try to make the latest all the time..
And yeah no doubt they are, them and apple dominate most of the market unfortunately, its just a shame one has to copy the other..

33. therooober (Posts: 3; Member since: 27 Apr 2012)
The design looks nice, but not buying it until i watch the reviews and then see, although, i am a sony fan, but Sony should step up their game, why they are not offering quad-core with 2GB ram, and 32 or 64 GB of storage. Also, if this device does not have NFC i am not buying because i want to buy Parraot Zik by Phillip Starck and i hope Sony does not forget the NFC chip. Anyway, so far i love the design but until the specs are cleared, then i could decide whether to buy it or look onto the Galaxy Nexus 2 or Note 2 although i am not a fan of Samsung phones but i guess Google love'em and the Nexus has the new iteration of Android faster than others. i am bored from the feature phones that i was forced to use after my phone fell in the water and waiting for the best phone makes you wait a lot lol. Anyway, by October i would have bought a good Android Smartphone :)

SHORT FORM - WELL worth the wait, I love it!!!THE REST OF THE STORYI first spotted the Point of View Pen Case - Dark Cherry quite a while ago but couldn't manage to justify to myself the full price (which is very reasonable in my opinion) for something that I didn't need, but really, really wanted.Well, some recent sales combined to put this gem of a pen case well within my ability to justify to myself, so I purchased it. It arrived this week and I'm completely delighted.The construction is very high quality, as is the finish, the packing materials were very thoughtfully designed to protect the case in shipment, and everything arrived in perfect order. The look and the function are all just as I'd hoped. But there was one surprise ... but even that was a pleasant one.I've loved and used fountain pens for over 40 years, and the one thing that has always vexed me is their tendency to go "temporarily dry" while between uses. There's plenty of ink in the cartridge, but because the pen was left point up or horizontal, the flow of ink from the cartridge to the reservoir behind the nib becomes interrupted and the tip dries out. You have to shake the pen a few times to get the ink flowing again. Well, this case is designed with an inclined storage bed, and while the photos show the pens being stored uphill, I store my fountain pens pointing tip down, to keep the ink in contact with the reservoir and nib at all times, and I'm finding that this works just great. I don't get that initial "ink stall" when I start writing now. Yay!! Another reason to love this pen case.After a few days use, I did make one tiny adjustment to the case. While the lid and case come together perfectly "as is", there is as you've seen a piece of glass in the lid. Knowing that life sometimes comes with unexpected bumps, I took the precaution of adding a tiny bit of padding to the underside of the lower corners of the lid so that when I set the lid against the base, there is less vibration. If the lid gets bumped closed while it's open, it will now land in little felt pads, not "wood against wood", jarring the glass.My technique? I took some small round self-adhesive felt pads (about 1/2 in diameter and about 1/16 thick), cut out 90 degrees from the full circle and adhered them to the underside of the lower corners of the lid, with the 90 degree cutaway aligned with the glass so the felt pads are not visible from the outside when the case is viewed. Now when I close the lid, the closure is very soft and I know the risk of damage to the glass is reduced should the lid gets jarred closed by accident.I highly recommend this case to anyone who loves their pens and wants to show them off and take excellent care of them.

I'd been looking at this case for some time, and now that my collection has grown to a certain point, I felt I could justify the purchase. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the quality and feel of the case. Cosmetically, it is nice. It doesn't however feel like a solid wood case, more like a composite (I believe Levenger's description of course; just conveying my impression.) Perhaps alder is a lighter weight wood than I expected, so I can let that go. The chintzy hinges are the biggest bugaboo. They are loose and insubstantial and rattly. This probably detracts from the handling experience more than anything. I'd have been tickled to get this case for $30; for $60, it just doesn't fully meet my expectations.

The perfect gift for the students in my family
By Dr. Paul
from NYC
Comments about Levenger Point of View Pen Case:
Actually I secured the case because of how handsome it looked, but after a few weeks I realized that, for the first time, I was able to find a pen at a moment's notice and find it again, as I have a place for the pens used in my medical practice once I am done for the day.That is where my pens find a home…finally.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is the second pen case that I have purchased from Levenger. I have been extremely pleased with both. The are well made and look great!
The perfect way to show off all of my fancy Levenger pens!
By Kyla
from Sugar Land, Texas
In the past, I used a closed box to store my fancy pens, but felt as if I was not enjoying them as much as I should. This pen display case is the PERFECT way to not only safely store my pens, but also let me see them and enjoy them on a daily basis. .....If you are a pen collector, this is the case for you! It's beautiful and functional. What else could you ask for?!

Point of View Pen Case
By TerryB
from Sweetwater, TX
I love this beautiful addition to my Levenger collection! Everything is precisely as you would expect from Levenger - quality, quickness in delivery, care taken in functionality. One more great experience with Levenger. You can place your fountain pens in the case, point down, and the angle of display keeps ink in the nib at all times, so no more difficulty in using your fountain pens only occasionally! Great product and I highly recommend this one.

Chomp is a simple two-dimensional game, played as follows.
Cookies are set out on a rectangular grid. The bottom left cookie is poisoned.
Two players take it in turn to "chomp" - that is, to eat one of the remaining cookies, plus all the cookies above and to the right of that cookie.
Adam Smith is often thought of as the father of modern economics. In his book "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" Smith decribed the "invisible hand" mechanism by which he felt economic society operated. Modern game theory has much to add to Smith's description.
Arguably, the exponential function crops up more than any other when using mathematics to describe the physical world. In the second of two articles on physical phenomena which obey exponential laws, Ian Garbett discusses radioactive decay.
Until you understand the basics of functions and algebra, the thought that a number can be predicted is a surprising one. And of course `magic' and `being surprised' are often the same thing. Rob Eastaway shows us how mathemagicians trade off the fact that you can usually predict precisely the outcome of doing something in mathematics, but only if you know the secret beforehand.
Over the past one hundred years, mathematics has been used to understand and predict the spread of diseases, relating important public-health questions to basic infection parameters. Matthew Keeling describes some of the mathematical developments that have improved our understanding and predictive ability.
"Math Chat" began as a live phone-in TV show in the USA, spawned a newspaper column and a website, and now it has produced a book. The whole project was the brainchild of Williams' College mathematician Frank Morgan and has both stimulated interest in maths across a broad range of the community and led to the formation of highly successful undergraduate research groups in mathematics.

Sometimes numbers lie. But when they tell the same story year after year about West Virginia public school students lagging behind many of their peers in the U.S. and abroad, Mountain State residents are compelled to take them seriously.
And when public education officials tell the same story year after year - just wait, we're making progress - taxpayers have no choice but to wonder if they are hearing the truth, or merely a recitation calculated to head off demands for genuine change.
Just a few weeks ago, results of the most recent round of ACT testing were released. Again, as has been the case for many years, Mountain State students scored lower than national averages.
On other tests given nationally, including the SAT and NAEP examinations, West Virginia students do not compare well with their peers elsewhere.
Yet year after year, often pointing to the WESTEST 2 or its predecessors, state officials insist our students are making progress.
For decades, West Virginians have been promised real progress in making our schools better. Most recently, the federal No Child Left Behind law was supposed to do the job. After 10 years we know beyond doubt NCLB has been a failure - and many of our schools do not measure up even by its warped yardstick.
New ideas have been proposed through a 151- page "audit" of West Virginia schools, conducted by a consulting firm with a track record of sucess in other states.
More than 100 recommendations for change to improve student achievement and in the process save the state $70 million a year are contained in the audit report. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and legislators have had much of the summer to review the suggestions and think about them. Public input has been obtained through a series of hearings, including one in Wheeling.
Now it is time to act - to decide what ideas recommended by the consultant can work for West Virginia and to move quickly and decisively to implement them.
Will some of the proposals fail? Almost certainly. As soon as we know those ideas are not working, they should be discarded and, if evidence suggests it, new ones should be substituted.
But none of the consultant's recommendations will help if we do not try them - if we do not recognize what we are doing now is not working and dramatic changes are needed. Now is the time to move forward, to insist on public schools that can compete with any in the nation. We owe nothing less to our children and grandchildren.

And she did it, crashing Twitter at the same time.
To achieve this social network feat, the host unleashed a masterful plan. DeGeneres entered the Oscar crowd and crafted the most star-studded selfie the Web has ever seen. Jennifer Lawrence! Kevin Spacey! Brad Pitt! There isn't a hashtag that does this celebrity group justice. While the comedian made the accomplishment look easy, this selfie took careful work.
Behold, a step-by-step guide on how to form the ultimate celebrity selfie.
1. Scan the crowd and chat up Steve McQueen
2. Play nicely with Liza Minnelli
3. "Lupita, you gonna have some pizza?"
4. Negotiate details with Meryl Streep
5. Convince Julia Roberts to join in
6. Recruit Channing Tatum and Bradley Cooper
7. Then Kevin Spacey, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Lupita Nyong'o, Jared Leto and J-Law
8. Get Bradley to shoot
Annnnnd PRESTO!
If only Bradley's arm was longer. Best photo ever. #oscars pic.twitter.com/C9U5NOtGap— Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) March 3, 2014
DeGeneres's epic group photo quickly racked up the most re-Tweets of all time, beating out President Obama's reelection announcement in 45 minutes, according to Mashable.
On Monday, DeGeneres announced on Ellen that Samsung is donating a dollar for each retweet the selfie earns in celebration of the host's feat. Currently the picture has over 2.9 million retweets, so Samsung is planning to give a total of $3 million. DeGeneres said she will donate half the money to St. Jude's Children Hospital and half to The Humane Society of the United States.

Clemente-signed cards are almost nonexistent. He is, in fact, one of the rarest of all modern legends to find signed on a baseball card. This is a beautiful example worthy of the most advanced autographed card or Clemente collection. It would be virtually impossible to find a more impressive signed example of Clemente's classic 1957 Topps card. While this is, of course, an extremely rare card to find signed at all, the dark tones of the portrait photograph on this card make only a red ink signature (as found here) ideal for signing. The card is exceptionally bright and crisp, centered 20/80 top to bottom, otherwise in Vg-Ex condition. This very popular card of Clemente is, of course, extremely rare to find signed. This is the first we have had. LOAs from James Spence/JSA and Steve Grad, Mike Gutierrez & Zach Rullo/PSA DNA. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$2,000. SOLD FOR $2,320.00
