Mike Nichols, who directed Travolta in 1998's Primary Colors, tells PEOPLE: "They're very strong. They have Ella. They have lots of people they love to take care of. And they will. But they have to have time for just plain grief."
A source close the family tells PEOPLE that the autopsy on their 16-year-old son Jett revealed his death Jan. 2 in the Bahamas was caused by a "seizure disorder." Because there was no foul play, the body was released immediately to the Travolta family.
"There's probably nothing in the world that is harder for a parent than losing a child, so for both of them, I just ... I just can't imagine anything more difficult," says family friend Anne Archer. "I think what's most important is that friends and family and the community collectively put their arms around them and hold their thoughts for them and help support them through this time."
'Kind and Decent'Sherry Lansing, the former CEO of Paramount and a longtime Travolta friend, says Travolta and Preston are "two of the kindest, most decent people, and everything is about their family and everything is about their children."
"I cannot begin to imagine the depths of pain that somebody feels when this happens," she says. "It's just the worst of anything that could ever happen to anybody."
Dancing with the Stars judge Bruno Tonioli, a friend of Preston, said the actress is "a wonderful lady, a wonderful mother" to whom he sends his "deepest sympathy."
"He was their pride and joy," says Tonioli. "Their children are everything to them. There are no words to express how sorry I am; I am at a loss for words."
A Father FirstAmy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, who has known Travolta since they worked together on the 1996 film Michael, says the actor has always been a devoted family man, now suffering a great loss.
"He was a father first," says Pascal, who wrote to the family upon hearing the news of Jett's death.
Travolta's Wild Hogs costar Tim Allen says he and his family wanted to "extend our condolences to John, Kelly and Ella. We know how much they loved and adored Jett and words cannot express how sad we were to hear about his passing."

"There was an incident that occurred at 2 a.m. at 99 Prince [Street]," a NYPD spokesperson tells PEOPLE. "It's all under investigation by the police department … People will come in sometime this afternoon [to be questioned].
New York's Daily News reports that Proenza Schouler women's wear designer Jack McCollough – a friend of Shields's – interrupted her and Sutherland while they were speaking outside the SoHo nightspot SubMercer, resulting in an agitated Sutherland allegedly headbutting McCollough after the two men exchanged words.
Witnesses also say Shields was shoved but not hurt. All were out for an after party following the Met's Costume Institute Gala, and a rep for Shields denied she had anything to do with the alleged headbutting. "Nothing happened to her ... Jack did nothing inappropriate. It's not clear what caused Kiefer to do what he did," the rep told TMZ.com. An attorney for Sutherland had no comment.
McCollough reportedly received a minor cut on his nose. The designer is quoted as telling authorities that Sutherland "was drunk and obnoxious and wouldn't back down or be logical," and that the actor "pulled this stupid wrestling move like a teenager" before the headbutt. An attorney for Sutherland had no comment.
Police and friends of Sutherland's told the News that Sutherland was intoxicated. The paper says that both Sutherland, 42, and Shields, 43, are expected to speak to the police on Wednesday.
Sutherland recently served a seven-week sentence for his second DUI.
The incident was first reported on N.Y.C. nightlife blog Guest of a Guest.

London: Yorkshire fast bowler Ajmal Shahzad has been called up to England's one-day international squad after Ryan Sidebottom suffered a hamstring injury.
Nottinghamshire bowler Sidebottom was injured during his county's win over Worcestershire on Sunday.
Shahzad joins the England team ahead of the one-day game against Scotland on Saturday.
The 24-year-old was initially left out of the squad last week when allrounder Tim Bresnan returned from a foot injury.
National selector Geoff Miller said on Tuesday he expects Sidebottom to return to action soon and that the injury is "relatively minor."
England's five-match ODI series against Australia begins on June 22 at the Rose Bowl.

|Prized horses bred on Cotati acreage
Destinys Arabians really shine at competitions in California and Arizona
"I am going to show horses this year. I'm going to put my energy out there and show," proclaims Kathryn Wickstrom of Destiny Arabians horse farm.
And show she did.
One of Wickstrom's horses, Skorr DA, a 2-year old purebred colt, was a Halter Grand Champion at the Golden Gate Arabian Horse Show held at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in March, and a Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show Top Ten winner last February in Arizona.
"I could give you a bunch of hype and Arabian owners would go, 'she's putting feathers in her cap that don't belong,'" responded a humble Wickstrom.
Qualifying for regional Halter
The Santa Rosa placing also qualified Skorr DA for the Nor-Cal Regional Halter competition, and Wickstrom also had five horses in the show.
The Scottsdale show is popular for breeders and almost eclipses the national show in horse sales because of the quality of stock, according to Wickstrom.
"More horses change hands than any other horse show for the entire show season," she said.
To halter an Arabian for show performances, the trainer/handler of the horse demonstrates a confirmation stance of the horse to accentuate and highlight breed characteristics to judges. The head is carried high and the neck stretched out. The proper stance is to have the front feet square, the back feet parted, so that one leg is set perpendicular to the ground, and the other slightly behind it, in order to tighten and flatten the relatively horizontal croup and show off the high-set tail.
Wickstrom, over the past 15 years, has been breeding and specializing in half-Arabians of color on her modern 20-acre Cotati farm. An undertaking not all Arabian breeders attempt, according to Wickstrom.
"Usually, they're (breed) quarter horse and paint-based…what I produce is color," she said. "Arabians (purebreds) only come in five colors. Anybody can breed a quarter horse to an Arabian – both of those horses are solid in color. Who cares? I like to have the color. I have the spots (pinto markings). Mine are tobiano (pattern). That would be my little niche. I like them personally."
In the past, Wickstrom, who prides herself in being "hands-on" with all her horses, would produce an average of five foals per year, but the demand for Arabians has been very poor for over two years, so she is focusing her efforts on selling the current stock and competitions.
Arabian market crashes
"The Arabian horse market fell into the dumper two years ago and has still not recovered. The middle-market ($30,000-$80,000), normally where I sell, has pretty much evaporated. You don't need a horse, but you may want one," Wickstrom says realistically. She expects to produce no foals this year because of the situation. "I did not breed any horses last year. I am over-horsed."
The Arabian or Arab horse is a breed that originated on the Arabian Peninsula. With a distinctive head shape and high tail carriage and one less rib, the Arabian is one of the most easily recognizable horse breeds in the world.
It is also the oldest breed of horse, and every breed of horse traces back to Arabian bloodlines. The average size of an Arabian ranges from 14-3 to 15 hands measure.
"They are like a statue. When you look at it…it's as if somebody made him – (like he) was not born," comments Jesse Saldana, Wickstrom's award-winning veteran Arabian trainer of almost 40 years. Saldana also runs his own training center. Saldana is Skorr DA's handler.
Athleticism and disposition
"You want that horse to move correctly and to be ridden eventually. If I find three faults, I do not like that individual," said Wickstrom.
"It took me nearly six, seven years before I could really feel confident about what I was doing."
She credits successful mentors for helping guide her through the years of the learning process.
"The disposition comes from handling," says Wickstrom.
Cameras in the oversized stalls allow her to immediately know when a mare is close to foal.
"Seventy-five percent of my horses' disposition come from me. I handle them (foals) from birth. I am there the minute the baby hits the ground," Wickstrom said.
From that point on she is raising, handling, and training (groomed, bathed, trailered, tied) the horse until it is ready to be halter trained by Saldana. Wickstrom has personally bred more than 30 horses.
Destiny Arabians horse farm features riding arenas, a round pen, barn stalls and pasture shelters.
The farm is currently breeding, boarding, training, and selling Arabian horses. More information www.destinyarabians.net.

Incumbent Sheriff John Whetsel, a Democrat, won 65 percent of the vote Tuesday in his re-election bid, beating Republican challenger Darrell Sorrels.
"The citizens have seen what we have done over the last 16 years," said Whetsel. "It is pleasing to me to know that the citizens put their confidence back in the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office. I am extremely pleased."
"I'd like to say to all the people that have supported me, 'Thanks for your votes' and we will just have to do it again at another time," said Sorrels.

Grey Art Gallery
The word "sublime" is defined as the process of converting [something inferior] into something of higher worth. "Grey" is defined as being of a neutral tone, intermediate between black and white.

Featured artists for the group show include Craig Kaufman, Luana Cleveland and Spencer Gregory.
Craig Kaufman is a graduate of the York Academy of Arts and Kutztown University. He teaches art for the Williamsport Area School District and Pennsylvania College of Technology. He previously taught at Lycoming College.

His current work consists of layered non-representational images on birch plywood with canvas and oil paint.
Luana Cleveland is a graduate of Penn State University. She also attended the Art Students' League in New York City and the Brooklyn Museum School. She has had solo exhibitions of her work in New York City; Arnot Art Museum, Elmira, NY; Sloan Gallery, Lock Haven University; and Penn State.

First Friday at The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., presents "Reprise" with Dr. Don Hess, the Mando Medicine Man, and his son, Christopher, for an evening of family music and fun.
Hess may be described as a singer-songwriter, troubadour and Renaissance man. He plays mandolin, harmonica and a variety of instruments too numerous to list. He does not play the ukulele. Don describes his music as "folk deluxe."
10 years - almost to the day - of the release of his CD project, "Orphan No More," Hess plans to do a "Reprise" set that will feature several of its songs and then a second set of songs from his folk deluxe repertoire.
"Reprise" will be presented Friday, November 4, from 6 to 8 pm in the Rotunda Room, just inside the front vestibule of the Fourth Street entrance, easily accessible from the street.

Julie's Coffee
Julie's Coffee, 33 W. Third St., will host an exhibition for November's First Friday by painter Richard D. Welde. His exhibition of oil and acrylic paintings titled "Vibrant Landscapes" will open with a reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The show will run through the end of December.
Welde was born in Philadelphia and because his father often was transferred to a variety of different cities, he attended many schools in his youth, including ones in Columbus, Ohio; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Chicago Illinois; and Boston, Massachusetts, before ending up in Baltimore, Maryland.
He is a graduate of Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland. He then served in the navy for two years and eventually worked in the insurance industry, which brought him to Williamsport in 1966.
He always was an avid visitor to art museums wherever he lived and became fascinated by the paintings he saw. However, it was when Welde moved to Williamsport that he first began to paint. He is a believer that most everyone has artistic talent that can be developed if they are willing to put forth the effort. In his case, he developed an overpowering desire to paint upon acquiring a small set of oil paints.
Primarily a self-taught artist, Welde also has studied with Theresa Spitler and Ron Beach and often paints with a group at the Lycoming Art Students League in Montoursville, organized by artist and director, Ed Steinhilper. As an avid plein air painter, he paints local scenes, and also has painted in Gloucester and Cape Ann with Ed Steinhilper and his students.
He has served as a board member and gallery manager for the Bald Eagle Art League during a 13-year period. He has won Best in Show, First Prize, and Honorable Mentions in the Annual Best of Bald Eagle Art League Competition and has won the Annual Sun-Gazette Christmas Church Cover Competition, twice. He also has exhibited locally in group and solo shows.

Gustonian Gifts
Gustonian Gifts, 357 Pine St., will feature the jewelry of Terri D McNutt. She started making jewelry for herself when she was a teenager and once her friends at school saw her pieces, she was swamped with orders for them and the prom. She also loved to make jewelry for gifts for her family, friends and teachers. Once she graduated and started working and got married, her hobby was put on the back burner. Now she has rechanneled her creative side, she just couldn't seem to find what she was looking for in the stores and wanted some special pieces for family, friends and herselfso the ideas have been overflowing and she just can't seem to stop! She loves unique pieces and each piece has its own character.

From acoustic tracks approaching background music to in-your-face rock 'n' roll, Britton and his guitar are able to capture any mood and captivate the listener accordingly.

Best seat I have ever sat on. I am 6' 2" 210 and love the riding position as this seat sets me back and down a bit compared to the stock seat. Has all the right support in all teh right places and is comfortable enough for all day riding. And there isn't a better looking low profile seat out there for HD touring bikes. More expensive than the others but you truly get what you pay for with Corbin, and I won't buy anything else again.
Great product!
The factory seat was very hard, wide, and generally uncomfortable. I wanted to sit into the bike, not on it. The Gambler was an EXCELLENT choice for comfort, looks and overall quality! I couldn't have made a better choice no matter what the cost. The fit and looks are fantastic and I consider it an excellent value.
Thanks Corbin!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Savage makes a meat and potatos product that won't win any beauty contests. Their products are decently priced and damned if they ain't just about the most accurate. If money is an issue, and even if it is not, the Savage deserves a look.

I've had a 10FP in .308 for a couple of years now. Rifle, scope, bipod total cost me right at $600. Makes one ragged hole at 100 yards. Haven't done much beyond that.
Stock's not a thing of beauty, and from what I've heard/read my trigger (a decent one) is the exception and not the rule. But it works just fine for me, and that's all I care about.
Quintin Likely
January 3, 2003, 09:57 PM
With enough trigger time, either one will suit you fine.
I own a 10FP in 223 and a 700VS in 308. From what I've read, the Remington's have had some quality control issues over the past 8-10 years or so, if you went with the Remington, I'd look it over closely...supposedly, some of the threads in the receiver for the scope mount not being drilled square are the most common complaints.
For the money, you really can't beat the Savage...yeah, the trigger's kinda heavy, the stock isn't all that great, but its a helluva rifle for a helluva price. And if you were so inclined, you could always turn down the stock trigger or buy a Canjar or Timney further on down the road, or wait a few months till Savage starts installing their Accu-Trigger in their heavy barrel/varmint rifles. McMillian makes a fine stock for the Savage 10/110 action too.
To put it in perspective, if you're on a budget: My Savage, albeit in 223, with optics, mounts and rings, bipod, and sling is still less than my 700VS without anything...shoots an honest .7-.8 MOA if I do my part, too.
January 3, 2003, 10:08 PM
Yep... Savages are pretty much impossible to beat for the money. Sometimes the triggers are pretty rough but they are easily adjustable with varying results. If you want better, replacement triggers are available from a variety of sources. The stocks I don't have a big problem with. They are flimsy but if shooting from a bipod, the flimsy-ness won't be a factor.
January 3, 2003, 10:35 PM
My gunshop guy flat-out TOLD me to buy Savage. I was looking for a 'young ones' .22LR. He said that nothing is better-priced and NOTHING shoots as well 'out of the box.'
Didn't buy one and regretted it ever since, although if it's that good, the young ones would not likely tear it from my hands....

Both are fine rifles but if you have $1,000 to spend, why not get the Remington and not worry about replacing the trigger or the lack of beauty. Either way...I don't think you can go wrong.

Before I gave up deer hunting I used a Savage 110 in .270, unbelievably accurate. Beat out the Remington I had prior to that.
January 4, 2003, 05:44 AM
I recently bought a Remington 700 VLS in .223, which had such a rough bore, I sent it back to the factory for replacement.
I got a whole new rifle.. the bore still isn't perfect, but it seems to shoot relatively well, so I may leave well enough alone. It looks like it wants to do roughly 1/2MOA:100yds, but not on a windy day with me shooting it!
It just bugs me the bores have rough pit.machining marks in them new on these rifles- I have a shortened .308 VSSF which has a perfect bore, and a new .308 M24 barreled 700, also with a perfect bore.. go figure.. Maybe it's a .223 thing...
Nero Steptoe
January 4, 2003, 10:13 AM
The major pitfall of the VLS is the crappy stock. It's not as crappy as a Savage stock, but it's not free-floated and doesn't offer good bedding. I bought a VLS in .243 and couldn't get it to shoot. Finally discovered that there were a couple of bad defects in the rifling about 1/2" inside the muzzle. Had a riflesmith cut off 1" and recrown for $25; I free-floated the barrel and bedded the recoil lug and tang with Marine Tex. It's a shooter now.
When comparing the Savage to the VS, be sure and factor in the cost of buying a stock the quality of the H-S Precision and decent trigger for the Savage.

Tucked in the corner of the Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University is Bethany Krull's fascinating and thoughtful exhibit "Where are the wild things?"
Her exhibit consists of a dozen porcelain and mixed media animal sculptures and is part of the TopSpin series, which focuses on local and regional emerging artists. Each year three artists are selected to exhibit a solo show in the museum, complete with an opening reception and a full-color catalog of their work. Krull, a Buffalo-based sculptor, was selected as one of the three presenters out of 75 applications in this year's group.
"Some artists come up right to the top," said Michael Beam, curator of Collections and Exhibitions. "Everyone on staff felt very strongly about Krull's work."
It is easy to see why. Krull makes haunting pieces out of animal forms and toys that at first appear decorative but quickly reveal a simmering intensity. Through her skillful use of texture and color she creates juxtapositions and highlights differences.
All the pieces in "Where are the wild things?" display some facet of how humans interact with animals – as pets, as toys and as free creatures. Walking into the Tops gallery for the first time feels like stumbling into an odd and enchanting suburban yard.
In Krull's "Ornament," two long, powdered steel poles jut from a manicured mound of wood chips up to a small bird with a curved beak. The casting is stylized, but it is clear that this flamingo has no feathers. Few of the pieces have color or feathers or fur, and that makes them stranger, and with "Ornament" harder to look away from.
Much like the flamingo, most of the porcelain figures have inescapable gleaming eyes set into the soft matte finish of their body. The eyes shine in the light, and seem to stare and implore reflection on the piece. With the exhibit title painted on the wall, that reflection turns to how humans have taken the wild and replaced it with the cute, the restrained and the unnatural.
However, "Resurrection of Fluffy" and "Resurrection of Gemini" have porcelain animal skulls attached to toys, a white wooden cat marionette and a red wooden rocking horse respectively. They both have a palpable anxiety and sadness on display, coming at the question in a different way.
"I was thinking about the animate versus inanimate and how the relationship we maintain with our pets is not dissimilar to the ones we maintain with our toys," Krull said in an email.
Not all of the pieces hit their mark. In "Surrogate (Birdie Topiary)" two small birds perch on the pot of a small spherical shrub, and in "Precious Pests," a series of three squirrels, separated by two pillowcases and hanging by clothespins affixed to the scruff of their neck from a suspended clothesline, don't stand as well on their own.
"Untitled" is a series of four fake grass platforms, surrounded by white picket fencing, and the third includes a rabbit figure. "Surrogate (ducky duck)" pits a shiny rubber duck being cuddled by a small realistic duck, eyes closed in a matte finish. Both are a bit too straightforward.
When Krull's pieces are successful, they radiate creepy, angry, sad and nostalgic feelings and spur reflection on the exhibit's central question.
What: Bethany Krull: Where are the wild things?
When: Through May 4

There were some big winners on Wall Street today, with markets trading more than 1% higher for much of the day. Investors were excited to see fresh data showing a resurgent manufacturing sector in both the U.S. and Japan, though they seemed to get less enthusiastic as the day went on. The S&P 500 Index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) added 8 points, or 0.5%, to end at 1,614 on the first day of trading in the third quarter. But the benchmark index's three biggest losers all seemed to ignore the bullishness and stubbornly diminish their own market value.
To be fair, Coviden (UNKNOWN: COV.DL ) , which ended as the S&P's biggest laggard after slumping 8.6%, didn't do anything egregious to merit the brutal sell-off. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of the decline came after Friday's closing bell and before Monday's market open. The reason for the sudden dip had more to do with the fact that today was the stock's first full day of trading since spinning off its pharmaceutical division.
FirstEnergy (NYSE: FE ) also suffered a steep fall today, as shares dropped 2.8%. But FirstEnergy wasn't going through post-spinoff pains like Coviden; the electric utilities company was merely out of favor today. It's easy to understand why once you so much as glance at the company's financials: FirstEnergy's earnings have been on a steady downward trend in recent years, plummeting from $1.3 billion in 2008 to less than $800 million in 2012.
Lastly, another utilities company, Public Service Enterprise Group (NYSE: PEG ) , shed 2.5% Monday. It shouldn't be too surprising to see two utilities among the day's biggest underperformers, given that the sector as a whole was one of only two in the market to end in the red. At least, the company hasn't been following in FirstEnergy's fiscal footsteps. Public Service Enterprise Group has grown earnings from less than $1 billion in 2008 to $1.3 billion in 2012.

• Pathophysiologic theories postulate that tardive dyskinesia arises from the development of chemical denervation supersensitivity of dopamine receptors produced by chronic long-term neuroleptic treatment. To test a dopamine receptor modification strategy, 16 patients with tardive dyskinesia were assigned to treatment with a neuroleptic plus bromocriptine (a dopamine agonist) or placebo for 10 weeks in a rising-dose design. Patients were evaluated weekly during the 10-week treatment period and for 8 weeks after medication withdrawal. No significant treatment effect was found in tardive dyskinesia response in the overall sample. When patients were classified by tardive dyskinesia subtype, patients with choreoathetoid symptoms exhibited only slight improvement with active treatment, which persisted after drug withdrawal; patients with dystonic symptoms showed moderate improvement that was drug and dose dependent. The sustained administration of substantial doses of a dopamine agonist did not produce significant adverse effects, including behavioral toxic effects. These results, although not statistically significant, are of clinical and heuristic interest.

According to Joe Fortenbaugh of the National Football Post, Marcedes Lewis won't perform as he did in 2010 this season.
"Marcedes Lewis, TE, Jacksonville Jaguars: Lewis scored a combined seven touchdowns during his first four NFL seasons while never finishing higher than 19th in fantasy scoring among tight ends. Then, something interesting happened: Lewis entered a contract year in 2010, set career highs in receptions (58), receiving yards (700) and touchdowns (10) and finished fourth in fantasy scoring among TEs. Stinks like a "contract year explosion" to us, which means we can't trust this guy."

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Guitarists John and Bucky Pizzarelli brought a bit of the Big Apple to Grand Rapids on Thursday for St. Cecilia Music Center's 2012 Great Artist Gala.
It's a gig that almost wasn't, thanks to Hurricane Sandy.
"The group came from New York, so we were a little worried," said St. Cecilia Music Center executive director Cathy Holbrook on Thursday evening in Royce Auditorium.
But the John Pizzarelli Quartet, with special guests guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, John's father, and vocalist Jessical Molaskey, John's wife, were on stage for the 25th anniversary fundraiser for St. Cecilia Music Center.

"It's a pleasure to be here for the first time in Grand Rapids," John Pizzarelli told the audience.
"We're just happy to be anywhere with electricity," added Molaskey.
New York City and New Jersey's three major airports re-opened on a limited basis on Thursday after being closed previously due to Superstorm Sandy. Over 5,000 commercial flights were canceled Oct. 28 for the next two days.
Pizzarelli said they may have been on the only flight that actually got out of New York City on Thursday.
"La Guardia looks like Lake Michigan," said John Pizzarelli. "They just opened it today – for swimming."
Along with the rest of the East Coast, the Pizzarellis, originally from Patterson, New Jersey, made last-minute preparations to weather Hurricane Sandy.
Before the storm struck, Molaskey, a veteran of Broadway musical theater, said she hit the stores to lay in extra supplies – bottled water and false eyelashes.
"The man looked at me and said, 'A girl had to do what a girl has to do,'" she recalled.
The Pizzarelli family interrupted a four-week run at The Café Carlyle, a prestigious gig in the Rosewood Hotel on Manhattan's Upper East Side in New York City, to appear in St. Cecilia Music Center in Grand Rapids -- arrangements all made months ago.
Hurricane Sandy interfered with that gig as well, cancelling their opening night on Oct. 30.
"It all looked so good – in April," John Pizzarelli said.

Lot # 983 (of 1594) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Circa 1888 Radbourn and Connor Street Clothes Studio Cabinets Plus Program (3)
Starting Bid - $1,000.00, Sold For - $3,525.00
Three of the best ballplayers of the nineteenth century are featured within this collection of two cabinet card photographs and one program: 1) Professional studio cabinet of Hall of Fame pitcher Charley "Old Hoss" Radbourn in street clothes. Produced by J. A. Brodie Photographic Art Studio, of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, with very elaborate advertising for the studio on the reverse. This photo appears to date to the early 1880s, at which time "Hoss" Radbourn was clearly the top pitcher in the National League. Radbourn won a league-high forty-eight games in 1883 and followed that up by winning a Major League record fifty-nine games the following season. Radbourn eventually finished his career with 309 wins (in only eleven full seasons). He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1939. Both the photo and mount (4.25 x 6.5 inches) are in Near Mint condition. Radbourn's name has been written in pencil on the reverse. 2) Professional studio cabinet of Hall of Fame first baseman Roger Conner in street clothes. Produced by Montignani Photographic Art Studio of Bridgeport, Connecticut, with very elaborate advertising for the studio on the reverse. This photo most likely dates to circa 1885, at which time Connor was one of the top hitters in the game. Connor amassed 138 home runs during an eighteen-year career that spanned the years 1880 to 1897. While that total may not be impressive today, it certainly was during the "dead ball" era and it remained a record for twenty-four years until Babe Ruth finally broke it in 1921. Connor could also hit for average, as his .317 lifetime mark firmly attests. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1976. Both the photo and mount (4.25 x 6.5 inches) are in Excellent condition. Connor's name has been written in ink on the reverse. 3) 1899 National League program for a game between Cincinnati and Chicago, played in Cincinnati. This is a very rare yearbook-style program, with portraits of nineteen team members, including Hall of Famers McPhee and Beckley presented on the interior pages. The striking cover features portrait images of Cincinnati team officials including team president J. T. Brush and manager Buck Ewing. The twenty-page program has not been scored and features Bid McPhee in the lineup for Cincinnati. Buck Ewing's name has been scripted in pencil on the cover, but it is not in his hand. The program displays slight separation of the covers from the spine and is otherwise in Very Good to Excellent condition. From the Barry Halper Collection. Total: 3 items (2 cabinets and a program). Reserve $1,000. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $3,525.00

I was just playing Mass Effect (5th playthru lol) when all of a sudden everything turned blue. I could still see everything though, except I couldn't. It was like playing thru the eyes of "Predator" but everything was blue. Restarted my Xbox and its exactly the same on the dashboard, I can still see it but its all still blue.
Is this a common sign that my xbox is dying, or is it something else with an easy fix? Any help much appreciated.
Hey there, as a test, are you able to connect a different A/V cable to the same TV, and/or connect the same cable to a different TV and observe the results? Depending on what happens we can single out if the issue lies with the cable, Xbox or TV.
It could be that your AV cable has come loose or possibly even a faulty cable.
Make sure the cables are firmly plugged into the back of your TV and Xbox.
If that doesn't fix the problem, do you have another AV cable you could try?
I too have had this problem but it went blue and purple and it was with our TV box, we had a technician in and we need a new cable (didn't give us one though.... Useless). I'm guessing this is probably the reason, the technician just said its wear and tear and the cables just do that after a while. Try changing the cable and if changing the cable doesn't work then test the Xbox with a different screen if that is possible.
Hope this helps :)
it sounds like the cable.
I have personally had issues with the original "FAT" Xbox 360's becoming faulty where they would output strange colors such as Blue and bizarre "snow" haze across the screen. Swapping out different HDMI cables never resolved the issue but switching to Analog video with Component video or VGA did work.
Ultimately, I had to have them all sent in for repair whenever it happened. You can look into the repair process here: support.xbox.com/.../repair-process
Good luck.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade, tissue engineering in the field of medicine has proven to provide alternative therapies for tissue or organ implants, especially providing a functional implantation and avoiding immune rejection of tissues and organs. Cell, scaffold and growth information are considered to be the basic elements of tissue engineering. Scaffolds are expected to support cell colonization, migration, growth and differentiation, and to guide the development of the required tissue. In cell biology, it has been demonstrated that cell adhesion, proliferation, migration and differentiation can be manipulated using scaffolds of different micro- or nano-structures. Recent progress in MEMS/NEMS fabrication techniques has enabled the production of diverse scaffolds of micro- and nano-structures, on various biomaterials, for tissue regeneration applications. This special issue focuses on the state of the art in scaffold design and fabrication themes based on MEMS/NEMS manufacturing techniques. The topics include the design, fabrication, characterization and cell culture of the tissue scaffolds using MEMS/NEMS approaches.

The Texas Rangers aren't keen on a six-man rotation, so they have to find places for the other competitors for starting spots.
Currently, there is a battle for the final spot in the rotation, but despite earning a trip to the All-Star Game last July, Alexi Ogando has only a slim chance to occupy it. Once the team signed Yu Darvish, the curtain was pretty much pulled on Ogando's time as a starter.
Ogando is not alone this spring in terms of being a player who is making a position change without the guarantee of significant playing time. It all depends on how those players perform this spring and maybe over the first part of the regular season. But Ogando's move can have the most impact on the club's success.
Here is why:
Alexi Ogando, Rangers, RP
It's not that Ogando couldn't hack it in the rotation. Last season he went 13-8 with a 3.56 ERA in his first year as a starter. He hit a wall later in the year—he was 9-3 with a 2.92 ERA in the first half and 4-5 with a 4.48 in the second—but that was understandable for a guy who pitched almost exclusively out of the bullpen even in the minors.
Once the winter came, the Rangers won the Darvish bidding and decided to move another of their All-Stars, Neftali Feliz, from the closer's role to the rotation, where he was a top prospect for them and the Atlanta Braves. That pushed Ogando into a position battle.
Ogando is in a fight with Matt Harrison and Scott Feldman to be the fifth starter, but Ogando is the only one who has proven he can hold down a late-inning role out of the 'pen. As a reliever, Ogando is 4-1 with a 1.24 ERA and 8.5 strikeouts per nine innings over 43 2/3 innings for his career.
On top of those pretty good reasons to move Ogando, there is the vision of what the bullpen could look like with him in it. The Rangers already have Feliz's replacement, Joe Nathan, once a dominant closer himself. The setup man is Mike Adams, who has been great in that role over the last four seasons. If Ogando can be the seventh-inning or even multiple-inning guy—not necessarily a mop-up or long-relief man—the bullpen can be dominant.
"My wish is to stay as a starter," Ogando told MLB.com in January. "But if it happens I have to go to the bullpen, I'll be OK with that. I will do what it takes to help the team. I'll be up for it."

Here are some others that, if they perform at new spots, could make positive impacts on their teams, but if they struggle, their playing time could be sporadic:
Mark Trumbo, Angels, 3B
Like Ogando, Trumbo is being forced to move partly because of a high-profile free agent signing. When the Angels got Albert Pujols, it took away the everyday spot at first base, which Trumbo held last season when he hit 29 home runs and drove in 87 runs.
Because Kendrys Morales is on his way back from an ankle injury, which originally opened the door for Trumbo at first base, and is expected to be the regular DH, Trumbo has to find at-bats from other spots. It's possible he could find the occasional start in the corner outfield spots, but the team also has Bobby Abreu for that.
That leaves third base, where the incumbent is Alberto Callaspo, who hit .288 with a .366 OBP but for little power. The hope is Trumbo can adjust to third—he's taken endless rounds of grounders and worked on his footwork there all spring—and still provide a power source for the middle of the order with Pujols and Morales. That would give the Angels a trio of potential 30-home runs guys. That would be scary, just as it can be if Trumbo is a butcher at third.
Brandon Belt, Giants, RF
Aubrey Huff's experiment in the outfield last year was a catastrophe from Day 1, and the Giants don't want that again. So Huff is moving to first base, leaving Belt without a home.
As one of the organization's top prospects until breaking into the big leagues last season, the Giants want Belt playing, which means he's moving to the outfield, and because the team acquired Melky Cabrera to play left and Angel Pagan for center, that leaves right field for Belt. The problem is AT&T Park has an oddly shaped right field and the team likes how Nate Schierholtz plays it.
Right now, Belt is going to have to hit his way in to the lineup—he hasn't proven he can in the big leagues, batting .225 with a .306 OBP in 209 plate appearances last year. If he can't, he might be the odd man out.
Brandon Inge, Tigers, 2B
This move has been going well for Inge, at least defensively. He's athletic enough that he could move to the middle infield from his natural third base now that Miguel Cabrera is there because the team signed Prince Fielder.
At this point, the deciding factor won't be how Inge handles the defensive transition at second, but how he handles the bat. Last season, the Tigers sent down Inge because he couldn't hit. They later brought him back and he finished the year hitting .197 with a .265 OBP and three homers in 303 plate appearances. This came two seasons after he hit 27 homers and drove in 84 and made the All-Star team. If Inge doesn't hit, the position could go to Ryan Raburn.
"Brandon knows it. He's got to hit," manager Jim Leyland said last week. "I'm tickled to death the way he's moved over. I'm thrilled."

Burlesques were a popular entertainment in the Victorian era. A burlesque took a well-known play, story, opera or pantomime and satirised it in an exaggerated style with music. Burlesques also featured exaggerated costumes and often the leading actress played in breeches roles, revealing their legs to a scandalised audience. Even political and social events were 'burlesqued'.
Music sheet cover of the piano music to the Pas de Quatre dance in the burlesque Faust Up to Date, composed by Meyer Lutz, Gaiety Theatre, London, around 1888
Meyer Lutz, the composer, was the musical director at London's Gaiety Theatre where Faust Up to Date was first performed in 1888. The Gaiety was the home of burlesque under John Hollingshead and his successor George Edwardes, and it later became famous for musical comedy. Faust Up To Date was one of a series of burlesques on popular plays and operas of the day, including Carmen Up to Date (a skit on the opera Carmen), and Cinder-Ellen Up to Date (a skit on the pantomime Cinderella). Faust Up to Date was a skit on Gounod's opera Faust which had first been performed in London in 1864. The dance was performed by Lillan Price, Florence Levy, Eva Greville and Maud Wilmot and this illustration shows the short skirts which allowed them to dance freely, and would have been very popular with the men in the audience.
Gaiety Theatre souvenir brochure, December 1889
This is the colourful hardback cover of a souvenir programme issued for Christmas at the Gaiety Theatre in 1889. Inside, the audience found beautiful cards showing full length colour portraits of members of the cast - the very popular Miss Nellie Farren (whose head is popping through the paper hoop on the cover), Mr Fred Storey, and Miss Letty Lind. They are wearing costumes designed by Percy Anderson. He knew exactly what a burlesque audience liked… plenty of ladies showing off their legs in tights. The burlesque was the Gaiety's main attraction - a kind of musical, mixing operetta, music hall and revue (then known as 'Extravaganza'). Ruy Blas made fun of the play by Victor Hugo (who also wrote the book, Les Miserables). The full title of the burlesque was a pun Ruy Blas or the Blasé Roué. The more terrible the pun the more Victorian audiences were amused. One review says that audiences loved the show, laughing with 'an hysterical Ho! Ho!' or even a 'rapturous, long-drawn Ha! Ha!'.
Print with Madame Vestris and Mr Liston in their duet Buy A Broom, 1826, hand coloured lithograph, given by Isobel Beard. Museum no. S.181-2009
In 1826, Eliza Vestris, dressed as a Dutch Girl, had a great hit with the song Buy a Broom, for which Alexander Lee set new words to an old German air. At her benefit later that year, Vestris teamed up with John Liston and, dressed in similar costumes, they sang the ballad as a duet. Liston was acknowledged as one of the funniest performers of his generation, and the combination of the bizarre and nonsensical comedian with the exquisite Vestris proved irresistible. The impression that the duet made was so great that Ingrey and Madeley found it profitable to issue this commemorative lithograph. Lithography was introduced at the beginning of the 19th century and was the first important mass printing technique for illustrations. At this time, colour was still applied by hand. You can see in the background of the image that Ingrey and Madeley took every opportunity to advertise themselves and their new technology!
Artist unknown, ceramic figurine of Eliza Vestris, around 1831. Museum no. S.940-1996
This ceramic figurine is of Eliza Vestris, also known as Madame Vestris. She was famous in the 1820s for playing male roles which revealed her shapely legs. A court case of the time shows just how excited people got about her legs. Mr Papera, an Italian plaster worker, made casts of Eliza's legs for one of her many wealthy gentleman-admirers. These were 'to a little above the knee, and including the foot'. One of his apprentices stole some to sell for a profit, but was arrested. At his trial, Mr Papera told the court 'such a leg was always certain to fetch a high price in the market and besides, the legs of this lady were in very great demand'. Since most people couldn't get hold of a model of Vestris's legs, they made do with a print or a ceramic figure like this one. These figurines are quite valuable to collectors today. However, in their time they were made fairly cheaply and sold at reasonable prices to middle-class buyers.

Our stateroom with balcony was fabulous. Spacious with plenty of room to move about, it housed a huge, comfortable bed, flat screen TV, mini bar, dressing table area and a large sofa (convertible into a double bed), coffee table and a double wardrobe with plenty of drawers. Every detail was thought of from the lovely, thick bathrobes to the binoculars and golf umbrellas 'just in case'. The bathroom had a large shower and lots of hot water! Everything was replaced immediately and the whole room was spotlessly clean. There's nothing negative I can say about it.
We chose Celebrity Select dining which meant we could choose at what time we wanted to eat in the main dining room. You are advised to book a table in advance but we didn't bother and although we had to wait a few times it usually wasn't more than about 20 minutes. The food was good with plenty of choice and the service was faultless. In fact, all the staff (of every nationality you could think of) was friendly, helpful and efficient. The only thing that marred the holiday for us was the extortionate price of the bottles of wine and other alcohol. We enjoy a bottle of wine with our meal but by the time the 8% Spanish tax (because we sailed out of a Spanish port) and the 15% surcharge was added, we ended up paying £35 for a bottle of wine! Non-EU residents could claim back the 8% Spanish tax so it wasn't quite as expensive for the Americans
The theatre entertainment was OK but we thought P & O had the edge on their productions. We did watch the a capella group, the High C's and thoroughly enjoyed their barbershop type songs but the real star of the ship was Perry Grant in Michael's Club. He was brilliant, so funny and a real diva! He played to packed audiences every night and entertained with his great singing and interaction with the audience. You daren't move out of your seat for fear of being targeted!! A real entertainer and highly recommended. Well worth going on the cruise just to see him.
All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable cruise although, because of all the walking, we needed a holiday to recover!
We would recommend Celebrity any time but think about getting a drinks package if you enjoy a bottle of wine.

You Don't Have To Be The Best
This is a Devil's Advocate post.
Do you play a sport? My favorite sport to play is basketball. There's something about hearing the ball swish through the net that brings a smile to my face. There's something about threading that perfect pass that makes me just a little bit giddy. Oh and setting a good solid pick to get my guy free? Love that too. While I love all the other aspects of the game, I love winning the game above all else. I don't care how many points I score or how many assists I get, the point of the game is to win and if you don't win, none of that other stuff matters.
It's not like that in life. In life, you don't always have to be the best. In this Devil's Advocate post, I talk about how in personal finance, you don't have to always get the best offer, sometimes good enough is good enough.

Look for the new reservation bar that is attached to the space that will soon become the Establishment to open this week. Brian Williams and Michael Martensen both hosted a sneak preview for friends and family this past Friday evening, and we were able to get a glimpse of the bar.
Currently the bar has no name and Martensen said they are still tweaking the logo. Rumor has it that the space might be named Bar Smyth, but that could change. Continue reading

Bulgarian Singer LiLana to Record Song with R&B Star Akon
Young Bulgarian singer LiLana is going to record a single with Senegalese-American R&B star Akon.
This has been announced by the singer herself in an interview for the Standart Daily.
LiLana said Akon offered to record a single with her in July 2009, and the demo of the song was ready but work on it had to be terminated because of issues with Akon's label.
The R&B star, however, has offered the Bulgarian singer a second single, which, in her words, has very erotic lyrics. The music video will be recorded in January in the US.
Meanwhile, LiLana is heading on a tour in Bulgaria. She is most famous for her single "Dime Piece" which features US rap legend Snoop Dogg and Bulgarian rapper Big Sha (formerly known as Misho Shamara).

Boston Looking to Shake Up Line Up for Game 5
The Red Sox have scored ten runs in four games, four of which came on David Ortiz?s grand slam in Game 2. They could use some shaking up, and the Boston Herald reports this morning that that the shakeup could come in the form of Xander Bogaerts in the lineup.
Third vs. short is a good question, of course, but both are options. Stephen Drew is 1-for-13 with six strikeouts in this series and Will Middlebrooks is 1-for-10 with five strikeouts.

Cat owners may think their pets won't wear collars, but the Humane Society of the United States assures that cats can become accustomed to collars. "An identification tag is a lost cat's ticket home. Every cat, even an indoor cat, should wear a collar with an ID tag to help it return home if it is lost. Many owners believe a collar can injure a cat. But a breakaway collar lets a cat escape if the collar becomes snagged," according to HSUS information.
Tags are available in pet stores, veterinary clinics and through mail-order companies and pet supply catalogs. You can send for or buy an application form, fill it out, mail it to the tag company and receive an engraved tag within days. Typical prices range from $6 to $20 depending on the material and the amount of information inscribed.
For cats that don't like to wear dangling tags, alternatives abound: thin rectangular brass tags that have slots in the metal allowing the tag to slip over and rest on top of the collar, plastic tubelike tags that slip over collars or tags with rivets that allow them to be hammered onto a leather or nylon collar. Nylon collars can be embroidered with your cat's name and your phone number. If your cat is an indoor pet, another useful piece of information to embroider on its collar or have inscribed on its tag is a statement such as "If I'm outside, I'm lost."
Vendetta McMinnville, TN
I now have two cats that have both been strays. The first one I have had 7 years and she is declawed and never goes outdoors.When we travel with her we do put a collar and ID on. Our other wild one who just recently adopted us is about 2 years old and is strictly an outdoor cat. He is Black and has been abused. It took a long time just to get him to trust us as he always watched us from a field next door. Since I have spent a lot of money on him and dearly love him, I have tried two break away collars on him with the longest time he has had it on is two days. He loses them somehow. I know he gets into a lot of fights as he comes home all scratched up. The other day he came home with a toe missing on his back left paw. It broke my heart! He has a heated cat bed in our little shed with a pet door and all his food is in there. I have tried locking him in all night till morning but he howls and has a fit. Him and my other cat hate one another so I can't bring him in the house. I just know that had I had a regular collar on him instead of a break away he would have hung himself by now! He has been use to living on his own for over a year and is a hunter.
Michalle Portland, OR
Collars and tags are very important. Microchipping is also very important,as collars can become lost.

My 8 month old Annabella likes to sneak outside. I am so glad I got a collar and ID tag just in case she goes too far. Thank you for this article.
Dana Philadelphia, PA
All of my indoor cats have collars with updated information on them. If you live near a Walmart, you can get them made via a vending machine. They only cost 4 to 6 dollars each.

Sammamish Re-Leaf a success
On Saturday, Oct. 24 the Eastside community mobilized with a strength and commitment that was thrilling to see. One thousand thirty volunteers planted 13,000 trees and shrubs along a half-mile stretch of the Sammamish River. King Country has never participated in a bigger partnership for the environment.
We are proud that King County was able to bring together this powerful partnership of cities, businesses, non-profit organizations and service groups for the sake of the salmon and the health of our Sammamish River.
The cities of Redmond, Woodinville and Bothell and the Sammamish Watershed Forum were instrumental in making the planting a reality. The city leaders are to be commended for making the Sammamish ReLeaf their top priority. The Sammamish River is a little healthier today because of their vision. We are very grateful for American Forests and Eddie Bauer, who provided major sponsorships for the event. We also extend appreciation to ARCO for its support.
Most of all, we thank the numerous citizens who turned out to participate in the Sammamish Re-Leaf effort.
We saw a lot of love and caring on the banks of the Sammamish as ordinary people worked to bring back salmon and to make the river a beautiful and healthy place for all of us to enjoy.
King County is working at all levels of government to respond to the upcoming federal listing of Chinook salmon for protection under the Endangered Species Act. Still, it will take personal commitment and stewardship like we saw Nov. 7 to truly save our region's salmon.
On behalf of King County, we extend our thanks to each and every citizen, elected leader, businessperson and civic group representative who helped plant the banks of the Sammamish. It was a phenomenal success because of each of them.
Ron Sims, King County Executive, Pam Bissonnette, Director, King County Department of Natural Resources

CHICAGO - They used to line up to get inside Michael Jordan's restaurant here. Now, the windows are boarded up and the marquee in front has a For Lease sign slapped across it. Like Michael Jordan's tenure with the Bulls, the restaurant's run ended because of a disagreement between Jordan and its owners. Now, it remains an empty and ghostly reminder of what Jordan once meant to this town.
That's right. Once meant. While the rest of the country is enthralled by what the 38-year-old Jordan is doing with the Washington Wizards, Chicago - the city of big shoulders and a bad basketball team - merely shrugs. So what if Jordan was on the cover of Sports Illustrated last week? So what if Jordan is returning to United Center today for his first game in Chicago as a Wizard? Reaction to Jordan's return here runs the gamut from utter indifference to downright disdain.
There are many reasons Chicagoans will not be throwing a parade for Jordan Saturday. The biggest, of course, was on full display Wednesday night at Mike Ditka's restaurant, a teeming temple of testosterone not far from Jordan's boarded-up place. Never mind that Ditka hasn't coached a game in Chicago in more than a decade. This place is packed. Think cigar smoke. Think $30 steaks. Think real guys talking about real sports.
"Michael? Michael who?" asked Dan Robbins, a sales rep perusing a giant humidor. "This is a football town. Duh Bears."
Oh yes. For the first time since 1994, the Bears are in the playoffs and Chicago has worked itself into a lather. Some three hours after Jordan tips off at United Center, the Bears will host the Eagles at Soldier Field.
"This is a Bears town. Always was. Always will be," said Bill Adee, sports editor of the Chicago Sun-Times. "Compared with the Bears being in the playoffs, Michael Jordan's return is a blip on the screen."
At the beginning of the NBA season, Jordan's return seemed like a sure moneymaker and ticket brokers across the city were snapping up tickets from disgruntled season-ticket holders. Now, while making a killing on their Bears tickets, brokers might get stuck with the pricey seats at United Center.
"I can get you a Bulls ticket for $50. A Bears ticket will cost you $200 to $600," said Max Waisvisz, owner of Gold Coast Tickets. "I have $1,000 front-row seats on the floor for the Bulls. I've got two suites at the United Center left. Everyone who calls wants the Bears."
Jordan brought Chicago six NBA championships. He also quit on it twice. Once to play baseball and once, supposedly, to play never again. That turn of events makes Jordan's return a bit problematic for many Chicago sports fans, even former big-time Bulls fans. Getting up to watch Jordan play in a Wizards uniform is a bit like getting up to see your ex-wife get hitched to the loser down the street. Not only did Jordan leave the Bulls. But he left them for what was a horrible team.
Mike North, a hot-dog vendor turned sports-talk radio personality, sees Jordan as a traitor, plain and simple. So this week, during his afternoon show on WSCR-AM, he has tried to spearhead a drive to get rid of Jordan's statue at United Center.
"The way I see it, he's the enemy," North explained after Wednesday's show. "Basically, he's a traitor. He quit on us twice. He doesn't play for us anymore. I say we take the statue and dump it on his front lawn in Highland Park - except then his wife would probably try to get custody of that, too."
Ah yes, Jordan's wife. Juanita Jordan, filed for divorce earlier this month, which was big news here. Chicagoans are well versed in the details of the petition - the item most often cited being Juanita's desire to keep the 25,000-square-foot "marital residence" in a tony suburb of Chicago.
"Twenty-five-thousand square feet? What do you do when you lose your wallet?" North asked. "Do you think they take a bus from one end to another?"
Jordan, the king of sports-star pitchmen, cultivated a public image as a family man. When he retired the second time, Jordan cited the desire to spend more time with his three children.
"I thought he quit to have more time to carpool and drive his kids to school," Ditka's patron Greg Sunkel said. "Apparently, he's gotten tired of that."
Some Chicagoans' cynicism could stem from the fact that - whether or not the split with the Bulls was his idea - he left Chicago with a dreadful team. Anyone who knows the history of the Cubs understands that this town isn't afraid to embrace a loser. But a losing basketball team isn't the same. Chicago was never so much a basketball town as it was a winning basketball town. Because of Jordan, Chicago rode to global sports fame.
Now he's brought that fame somewhere else.
"With the Bulls being so bad, a lot of people take what he did, playing for the Wizards, as a slap in the face," said Kevin Hagginbothem, 32. "He went out on top and he should have stayed retired. He could have owned this town."
