A truly vintage bonkers story in the Daily Mail today claims that the Queen Mother miscarried a baby boy—who would have been king—as a result of being buzzed by a low-flying aircraft in 1950.
The Mail is reporting on the recollections of a 99-year-old pal of the former pilot involved, Walter Beisiegel, who himself died in 1973. The pal is named, wait for it, Tubby Vielle.
Nonagenarian Tubby claims that Walter told him that in 1950 he "buzzed" a garden where a "pregnant lady" was walking, and that soon after the Queen Mother miscarried a baby boy. He does not say how he was able to spot that a woman on the ground was four months pregnant from a fast-moving aircraft, but one should never let inconvenient practicalities get in the way of a good story.
From the Mail:
Tubby Vielle learned of the incident in 1935 when he narrowly escaped a court-martial for the same offence (buzzing), senior officers having accepted his story he had to fly low to avoid a collision with overhead power lines.
'I was told, in the strictest confidence, that only one other RAF flyer had ever escaped a court-martial for low flying, and that was Walter Beisiegel—whom I knew because he'd been my flying instructor at Cranwell,' says Group Captain Vielle. 'And I was privately told the very special reason why. It was because he'd buzzed the Duchess of York, and that soon after the incident she had miscarried a baby boy. He wasn't court-martialled because none of the Royal Family or their friends were prepared to give evidence, so it was quietly dropped.'
The Mail goes on: In 1999, that Group Captain Vielle's literary agent wrote to the Queen Mother's private office at Clarence House enclosing a draft chapter of his memoirs in which the entire story of the buzzing incident, and its alleged consequences, were told, and seeking their comments. Back came a reply dated March 15, 1999, from her private secretary Sir Alastair Aird, in which he said: 'The Queen Mother does . . . remember an aircraft flying low when she was walking in a garden in Fife, but no one fell to the ground and everyone laughed.' (Fife, in fact, is ten miles from Musselburgh.) Somewhat audaciously, Group Captain Vielle wrote back to Sir Alastair on April 21, giving a personally detailed account of the incident as he knew it, and concluding: 'I therefore sincerely believe my story to be true.' On May 6, Sir Alastair replied: 'Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother reiterates that she did not suffer a miscarriage in any part of Great Britain during the years you mentioned a low-flying incident.' For most people that might sound final enough, but as Group Captain Vielle says: 'I believe Sir Alastair carefully limited his answer to "Great Britain" because, as Beisiegel told me, the miscarriage was in the Royal Yacht or a Home Fleet ship, which were in waters off Fife for the summer cruise and so not technically in Great Britain. 'I believe that it was a deliberately evasive answer.'
Maybe. Maybe not.

Spin Your Thesis! programme phases
Below is a detailed description of the yearly Spin Your Thesis! programme.
A. Project definition and writing of proposal by selected applicants
During this first phase, the applicants will build their team, find an endorsing professor or academic supervisor and start thinking seriously about their project.
After defining their project, the students must think about how their experiment will be realised. At the end of this process, they will be expected to have a very accurate knowledge of the scientific theory behind their project, as well as the way they will realise their experiment – in both a qualitative and quantitative way.
The experiment proposal should focus on the scientific and/or technological objectives of the project and on the technical details needed to implement their experiment. In other words, participants are invited to explain what they intend to investigate and how they are going to implement their experiment. Students should show that they have very good knowledge of their project topic using references to bibliography and scientific literature in the field, and giving details of the results expected.
Documents expected: Experiment proposal
B. Review of the proposal and selection of the winning teams
The review board will select up to four experiments to be performed in the Large Diameter Centrifuge (LDC) and, in collaboration with ELGRA, propose mentorship from an expert in gravity-related research. The selection of up to four teams and the allocation of ELGRA mentors are expected shortly thereafter.
C. Experiment preparation
Based on the proposal, the selected teams will start to implement and build their experiment helped by qualified professionals and their ELGRA mentor. The cost of the building is partly supported by ESA's Education Office. The students should prepare their experiment by taking the 'LDC Experimenter User Manual' (list of documents) into account and by consulting with experts from ESA's Education Office and the Life and Physical Sciences Instrumentation and Life Support Laboratory (LIS).
During the preparatory phase, the students will have to fill out some parts of the experiment report template. The aim of this document is to serve both as a reference document throughout the preparation and execution of the experiment and as a final report once the programme ends.
Documents expected: Experiment report. Three versions will be delivered to ESA's Education Office and LIS before the campaign.
D. Education hypergravity campaign
Selected teams will perform their experiments in fourth quarter of the year. ESA's Spin Your Thesis! campaign takes place in ESTEC, Noordwijk, the Netherlands. The campaign lasts two weeks, and each team benefits from 2.5 days to perform their experiments in the LCD.
A few weeks after the campaign, the teams must deliver a feedback report with their inputs as well as their opinion about the programme and campaign to ESA's Education Office.
Documents expected: Feedback report
Deadline: 2 weeks after campaign
E. Analysis of results
The teams will analyse the results obtained during the hypergravity campaign and send the final version of their experiment report to ESA's Education Office within 4 months of having performed their experiment. In the future they will be expected to write a scientific paper co-authored by their ELGRA mentor (if applicable). Some students may also be sponsored to attend international conferences (such as the ELGRA Biennial Symposium) and present their results to the scientific community.
Documents expected: Final version of the experiment report
Deadline: February following year
Please note that the schedule detailed above is subject to change.

US merchant bank Raine Group has formed a strategic partnership with Chinese state-owned China Media Capital (CMC) to make joint investments across digital media, sports and entertainment.
The partnership involves co-investing, sharing resources and exchanging investment strategies. CMC chairman Li Ruigang told the Financial Times that while he is initially focusing on Chinese deals, "by working with Raine we will also look for global [investment] opportunities".
China is keen to develop its domestic media and entertainment industries, bringing in Western expertise in areas it thinks necessary. CMC, which manages an $800m (RMB5bn) fund, has been at the forefront of these efforts. Its acquisitions include a controlling stake in News Corp's Chinese media assets - including TV channels and the Fortune Star film library.
CMC is also a partner in Oriental DreamWorks, a joint venture with DreamWorks Animation and Chinese state-owned Shanghai Media Group and Shanghai Alliance Investment. The Shanghai-based animation studio is producing the third installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise.
Founded by Joe Ravitch and Jeff Sine, in partnership with talent agency WME Entertainment in 2009, Raine has backers including Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt, Facebook board member Marc Andreessen, former Yahoo CEO Terry Semel, SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son and Korean food-to-entertainment moguls Jay and Miky Lee.
Ravitch is a former partner at Goldman Sachs where he worked on transactions involving YES Network, Demand Media, China Netcom and Focus Media. Sine was formerly vice chairman and head of the TMT division at UBS.
"We believe the media sector in China is on the cusp of a significant growth trajectory, as demand for international content in China continues to increase, and Chinese media companies continue to expand globally," said Ravitch.
CMC chairman Li Ruigang said: "We and Raine share the same vision - to build Chinese media and entertainment companies into world-class institutions, to further develop the content creation industry in China, and leverage the technology, formats, innovations, and experience of the global digital media, sports and entertainment sectors into China."
Raine's most recent entertainment investment was the acquisition of a stake in Important Studios, founded by South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

Vigilant Technology Expands Operations
Global Provider of IP Surveillance and Security Solutions Targets the US and APAC Markets
Foxboro, MA – April 1, 2009 - Vigilant Technology, a BATM Company and provider of intelligent IP surveillance and security solutions, has expanded its presence in North America and the Asia Pacific region by opening two new headquarters. The expansion will significantly strengthen the Company's presence in the respective regions.
Both offices include a complete video surveillance control room where visitors can participate in a hands-on experience of setting up and managing a live video surveillance network. Located in Foxboro, Massachusetts, the US office will support Vigilant's sales efforts in the Americas through the sales offices in New York and Arizona. The APAC office is located in Singapore and will also support Vigilant's sales efforts in Sydney, Australia.
Vigilant Technology designs and manufactures intelligent IP surveillance solutions for mid-to-large-scale deployments in mission-critical, multi-user application environments. These solutions range from sophisticated video management systems including monitoring, recording, analysis, reporting and investigation suites, to high-end digital video recorders (DVR & NVR). The company specializes in CCTV surveillance services for city centers, public spaces and public safety agencies, corporate campuses, shopping malls, residential complexes, and casinos. The system can accommodate tens, hundreds and even thousands of cameras per site operating over enterprise LAN, wireless or carrier networks.
Vancouver, BC – March 31, 2009 – Avigilon, today, announced Avigilon Control Center 4.0, the company's latest version of its award-winning High Definition (HD) surveillance software, which will be demonstrated at the ISC West conference taking place April 1 – 3rd in Las Vegas. With new features to improve performance and manageability, Avigilon Control Center 4.0 also offers support for third party IP cameras, becoming a truly open enterprise class network video management software platform.
The reference designs offer a cost-effective electronic bill of materials (eBOM) at less than $40 for the IP camera and $60 for the DVR, while also including a full complement of analog ICs, ranging from power management to interface devices from TI. This enables customers to quickly create cost-sensitive products such as IP cameras, IP modules for closed-circuit TV cameras, digital video servers (DVS), DVRs and network video recorders (NVR), reducing development time from approximately 160 man months to only four months.

My Marriage Is Gay Today
Half a lifetime ago
As chronologies go
I was married, in upstate New York
There were family, friends,
And some strange odds and ends
When we, husband and wife, popped the cork
But today it feels strange
As if something has changed
Though our vows are the same, to the letter
Because, as of today,
Why, "marriage is gay"
And equality's oh so much better
When marriage was straight
And the church barred the gate
And kept part of humanity out
They tried to define
In society's mind
What a marriage was wholly about
Though they struggled with words
Their whole view was absurd
And historically, simply untrue—
And sanctified bigots
Just opened their spigots
Letting sewage and prejudice spew
They poured this pollution
Into my institution;
My marriage was tarred by their brush
But—long story short—
I am glad to report
They are getting their long-deserved flush.
With this change in the laws
I feel better, because
I'm not part of a bigoted order
So today, let's have fun
But there's work to be done
Cos equality stops at the border.

Yeah, marriage is DEFINITELY SO GAY! And, even more importantly, as of today, my marriage is that much less unfair...
I'm a straight woman; my husband and I have been married for 29 years. Same-sex marriage has ABSOLUTELY affected our marriage!! In the past few years here in CT, three, THREE!!! gay couples that we know have gotten married. David and Tom. Steve and Paul. Barbara and Pat. OMG they are so GAY! We were invited to the weddings. Guess what happened to us! Oh noes!!! OMG it was SO SO UNBELIEVABLY GAY! When these couples said their vows to each other, my husband and I HELD HANDS and remembered OUR OWN VOWS and GUESS WHAT!!!!! Our marriage felt renewed and refreshed THE SAME AS IT DOES WHEN WE ATTEND WEDDINGS OF OUR HETERO FRIENDS!! OMG! I even cried a little. OMG! Who would have thought that "gay" wedding ceremonies could have the same effect on me as "straight" ceremonies???! OMG do you think gay people are just the same as everyone else??? OMG is it possible!!!?
Marriage equality is a civil right. Period.
When civil rights are improved for one group, they are improved for everybody.
Each person deserves the right to a fulfilling life with the person(s) of their choice.
My LGBT friends have opened my mind to the richness of human variety.

With the "stops at the border" line, I thought for a second that it was a guest poem by a Canadian. Congrats NY! I hope many other states follow!
It's funny how my children's generation has no issue with it; there are kids with two moms or two dads at their school, and it really isn't a big deal.

Today, Maureen Sullivan, president of the American Library Association, announced the launch of "Authors for Library Ebooks," a new initiative that asks authors to stand with libraries in their quest for equitable access to e-books. Bestselling authors Cory Doctorow, Ursula K. Le Guin and Jodi Picoult are helping kick off the campaign.
The campaign represents an extension of the ALA's advocacy strategy to ensure all people have access to the world's knowledge and literature through our nation's libraries–regardless of format. Over the past 18 months, ALA leaders have met with major publishers, distributors, authors and representative associations to seek sustainable solutions for library e-book lending.
Libraries support authors in a range of ways, including:
- Exposure. Libraries help authors get noticed through author events, book clubs, readers advisory and features on library websites;
- Sales. Research shows that library loans encourage people to buy books. Many libraries now even provide an option for people to click and "buy-it-now" from their websites.
- Respect. Libraries honor authors' work by protecting copyright and paying for the content they lend.
- Love of reading. Libraries help grow readers — and writers.
"My first job was at a library, and one of the things that I remember so clearly is the wide range of people who came in our doors every day. Young, old, rich, poor–libraries encourage exploration and a love of reading," Picoult said. "Whether it's a digital file or a paper copy, I want readers to find my books–and all books–in their libraries! I stand with libraries–and I invite other authors to join me in the campaign for library e-books for all."
Developed by the ALA's Digital Content & Libraries Working Group, the Authors for Library E-books campaign encourages authors to sign on to a statement of shared values, to discuss the issue with their publishers, and raise awareness of their concerns through their websites, social media and other communications channels.
Get involved in the campaign by following @Authors4LE and using the hashtag #A4LE. To learn more, visit Authors for Library Ebooks.

In October 2003, six-year-old Gena Buza and her younger sister, Sophie, were riding in a car, their grandmother at the wheel, when the grandmother lost control of the vehicle and it smashed into a tree. Gena was thrown from her seat and suffered a bruised spinal cord that left her paralyzed from the chest down. She is considered quadriplegic.
One might expect that this is the beginning of a tale that ends in broken dreams and heartache. But the heartache wore off, the dreams have evolved and Gena is today a remarkable 16-year-old with a story to tell. I have been photographing "Gena, In Constant Motion" since 2012. Below, Gena shares a poem recounting a day that changed everything and about how she has rebuilt her life. -- Taylor Baucom
I Remember. . .
The grass, a field of delicate green prickles
Between my toes
Cold but freeing
Yet memorable
I remember. . .
Dancing on Sundays
Ballet steps and pastel dresses
Twirling till I fall
Just to see it flow
I remember. . .
Our driveway
Hot sun beating down
Blacktop imprints on my soles
Curiosity left behind
I remember. . .
Jumping and leaping
On the trampoline with my father
In the late afternoon
Under the shadows of the sunset
I remember. . .
Taking the adventure
Up and up the steep craggy hill
Just a rock
I remember. . .
The backseat of my grandmother's car
The taste of peanut butter lingers
A carefree afternoon
Shattered within moments
I remember. . . ?
Then red
My grandmother
Distant sounds
Helicopter blades
Then putrid smells
Of oxygen and hospital
Sounds everywhere but no vision
Distant beeping
Paced but constant
I remember. . .
Laying there
Strength I remember having
Gone now
I remember. . .
Wanting to get up
But my body isn't listening
Like the signals have been cut
Never to be used again
But can't hold a fork
Having to be fed
Like a baby
Sitting up
No muscle strength to balance
Now a struggle
And a fear
I was six
I remember
For the first time in months
Now watching friends
Play our old games
Feeling left out
Saturday nights spent
Staring at Sundays dresses
Crying out at nothing
Just to be able to spin one last time
Yeah, I remember. . .
Dancing on weekday nights
In the living room for my parents
Trying to pretend
Trying to forget
I remember. . .
My purpose
Why I am here
I remember. . .
Finally seeing it for what its worth
Raising my head high
Rather than bowing in hopelessness
I will not accept defeat
I am. . .
A different person. . .
A better person. . .
I am

A former employee of Porsche Cars North America is taking questions today in a Reddit "Ask Me Anything." Redditor Analytic_Geek is answering a number of questions on the innerworkings of the sports car maker from Stuttgart, and there were a few that caught our eye.
First off, just so we have it in writing one more time, it's pronounced Poor-sha, not Porsh:
The family always used two syllables for their name.
Secondly, Porsche employees do receive a pretty great discount on cars:
It was dependent on your level but at the time it was a flat discount off the MSRP maxed to not trigger income tax plus a monthly subsidy on your lease. All told I was paying just over 200 a month while I worked there. When I quit I had to buy out the lease to keep the car. I took a 5 year loan and paid $535 a month to keep it.
But what really caught our eye was how PCNA dictated cupholder design after the 996 generation 911 and 986 Boxster were equipped with pretty useless ones:
Cupholders were introduced in the 996 and 986 versions in the late 90's. They just didn't get it as you are not supposed to drink while you are driving. The initial cupholders sucked too. When they were designing the Cayenne we collected a ton of cups from fast food and gas stations plus coffee cups and mailed them to Germany and said your holders have to handle all of these.
This leads us to a thought: Perhaps the obsession with cupholder design was the beginning of Porsche's move away from being a sole sports car company to one that also makes luxury cars.

- "I've never seen a worse Keeper... but then he was born in a bin."
- —Draco Malfoy, needling Harry Potter about Ron Weasley's Keeper performance[src]
A bin is receptacle for the disposal of trash.
The entrance area to Diagon Alley includes a dustbin.[1]
Early in the 1991-1992 school year, Peeves chucked some chalk into a bin after Professor Minerva McGonagall discovered him in a classroom using it to write rude words on a blackboard.[2]
In 1994, Alastor Moody owned a number of dustbins which he kept outside his home. Bartemius Crouch Jr used magic to make them fire rubbish everywhere as a cover for his kidnapping of Moody to disguise himself as Moody using Polyjuice Potion.
In 1995, Draco Malfoy composed a song titled "Weasley is Our King" as an attempt to undermine the morale of Gryffindor Quidditch team Keeper Ronald Weasley and that of the team itself. The song included the line "Weasley was born in a bin," considered highly offensive, as it suggested he was nothing but garbage. Later that same year, Augusta Longbottom told her grandson Neville to place a gum wrapper given to him by his mother in the bin.
In 1997, as Hermione Granger considered what books to bring along on the mission to find Voldemort's Horcruxes, she tossed her copy of Defensive Magical Theory into the bin without a second glance.[3]
Bin Juice is named after this object.
After receiving a letter from Lily Evans about the birth of Harry, Petunia Dursley tossed it in the bin without a second glance.
In "The Wizard and the Hopping Pot", one of the classic stories from The Tales of Beedle the Bard , the wizard who inherited his father's titular pot initially decided to use it as a bin, but the pot did not allow him rest until he used it for its original purpose of helping his Muggle neighbours, as did his father.[4]
Bins were amongst objects transfigured by a group of goblins who had gotten hold of wands during the Chipping Clodbury riot.
Behind the scenes
- In addition to a rubbish bin appearing on the J. K. Rowling Official Site prior to its April 2012 redesign, the site featured a Rubbish Bin section where rumours about her and the Harry Potter series were addressed.
- In the United States, the term "bin" is usually used in regards to trash only in relation to recycling, i.e. "recycle bin." Despite this, the term was retained for the U.S. editions of most Harry Potter titles, though the U.S. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone refers to a "trash can."

Talk about a bad week.
A Miami judge ruled Thursday that Paris Hilton could be on the hook for $160,000 for failing to promote her 2006 big screen flop "Pledge This!"
U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno agreed with investors of the film who alleged the 29-year-old celebutante reneged on her contract by blowing off interviews with Russian and U.K. publications, The Associated Press reported.
U.S. & World
While investors had sued Hilton for $8.3 million, Moreno's preliminary valuation for the financial hit was $160,000. The judge asked for more information from Hilton before making his final ruling, according to the AP.
News of the ruling comes as Hilton is facing renewed scrutiny over her weekend arrest in Las Vegas for drug possession.
According to the Friday police report, Hilton's arresting officer allegedly saw a small plastic "bindle" containing 0.8 grams of cocaine fall out of her purse as she reached for lip balm.
"She told me the purse was not hers, that she had borrowed it from a friend," Las Vegas police Lt. Dennis Flynn wrote in the report. "I asked Hilton whose cocaine it was, and she said she had not seen it but now thought it was gum."
But a photo from the night of the arrest showed Hilton carrying a black Chanel handbag, one that matched a photo Hilton had posted online about a month and a half ago, People mag reported.
"Love My New Chanel Purse I got Today. :)," she wrote at the time in a TwitPic caption.
Hilton's lawyer, David Cesnoff, said following the reality star's arrest that the "facts of the situation will be tested in a courtroom."
Hilton has also kept a low profile this week but tweeted Tuesday night that "rumors" surrounding her drug bust have been "so ridiculous, untrue and cruel."
In fallout from the arrest, Hilton was banned from partying at the Wynn and Encore Las Vegas resorts.
But the hotel heiress can count on at least one high profile backer: Las Vegas Hilton.
"She has been a guest here many, many times and we would always welcome her back," Las Vegas Hilton spokesman Ken Ciancimino told People mag on Thursday.

From the Smithsonian American Art Museum website:
John Gossage: The Pond
2nd floor South, American Art Museum
August 27, 2010 – January 17, 2011
© John R. Gossage, Untitled, from the series The Pond, 1985, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gift of anonymous donors
"The installation of John Gossage: The Pond celebrates the recent gift to the museum of this remarkable photographic series and the re-issue of one of the most influential photography books of the past three decades. John Gossage (b. 1946) photographed a small, unnamed pond between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland, between 1981 and 1985. The title was intended to recall Henry David Thoreau's Walden, but Gossage advocated a more all-embracing view of the landscape, exploring the less idealized spaces that border America's cities and suburbs. Although many of the images in The Pond appear unruly or uncared for, Gossage found moments of grace and elegance in even the most mundane of places.
The complete portfolio of The Pond was acquired by the museum in 2007. This exhibition marks the first time the complete series of fifty-three gelatin silver prints has been on public display. Gossage lives and works in Washington, D.C. Toby Jurovics, curator of photography, is the curator of the installation.
The Pond, originally published in 1985, is being reissued by Aperture (September 2010). The new edition, co-published by the museum, includes an essay by photo historian Gerry Badger and an introduction by Toby Jurovics. It will be available in the museum's store ($65 hardcover).
The Bernie Stadiem Endowment Fund provided support for the exhibition."

Not "patched," remember? Monday Night Combat carries a "Live Update System" that allows it to tune settings without rolling a full patch through the time-consuming certification channels. Here's what you get:
• Time between Crossfire matches (the competitive multiplayer arena) has been shortened to 45 seconds from 60 seconds.
• The minimum number of players needed to start Crossfire is now six; it was eight.
• Custom bots now spawn in 10 seconds, not five.
Now, that said, Uber's aware of "known bugs and exploits," and is working on a patch to address those, as they're beyond the bounds of the game's on-board tuning system.
But hey, faster Crossfire starts with fewer players, that's a good development.
