PRINCETON, NJ, March 01, 2012 (Press-News.org) Although the Titanic disaster is widely known, the authentic story of the lovers, tennis star Karl H. Behr and Helen Newsom, is little known...until now. This new, definitive biography, Starboard at Midnight, written by their granddaughter, brings to light the long-buried secrets of these two survivors, breathing new life into legend.
Based on Karl Behr's unpublished autobiography (now in the Tennis Hall of Fame, Newport, RI) along with family scrapbooks and more than ten years of research into the historical background of this period, the full story of this epic romance is finally revealed.
Author Helen Behr Sanford, who lived next door to her namesake grandmother for fourteen years, captures the fascinating lives of these lovers in their journey through the early years of the twentieth century, and highlights the brilliant tennis career of Karl Behr.
A biography of adventure and romance, Starboard at Midnight reaches its climax on the fatal voyage of the Titanic and expands to explore the fate of many German-Americans during the Great War. It is also a story of patriotism and sacrifice that cannot be thwarted despite prejudice and blind judgment. Buoyed by extensive research into the world surrounding Karl and Helen, along with 38 plates and 6 photographs, the tale engages our view of Theodore Roosevelt and the Edwardian era as well as helping us better understand how history evolved.
"An intimate literary gem... The shrewd analysis of a love story..."

Osteoporosis experts urge bone density testing more frequently for women at risk
2012-03-01
Although a recent study suggests that women with normal results on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans at ages 67 and older may wait up to 15 years for a second test, a Viewpoint article published today in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research (JBMR) cautions that such a lengthy interval is inappropriate for many adults.
Viewpoints allow experts to provide a new perspective on research. In their article, osteoporosis experts Drs. E. Michael Lewiecki, Andrew Laster, Paul Miller and John Bilezikian write that monitoring bone mineral density by DXA should be ...
Aspirin may counteract potential trans fat-related stroke risk in older women
2012-03-01
Older women whose diets include a substantial amount of trans fats are more likely than their counterparts to suffer an ischemic stroke, a new study shows.

The study, "Trans Fat Intake, Aspirin and Ischemic Stroke Among Postmenopausal Women," was published Thursday (March 1, 2012) online in the journal Annals of Neurology.
The study of 87,025 generally healthy postmenopausal women ...
Investigators predict, confirm how E. coli bacteria hijack cells' directional mechanism
2012-03-01
DALLAS – March 1, 2012 – Working in the emerging field of systems biology, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers mathematically predicted how bacteria that cause food poisoning hijack a cell's sense of direction and then confirmed those predictions in living cells.
The study proposed a new model to explain how mammalian cells establish the sense of direction necessary to move, as well as the mechanism that a disease-causing form of E. coli bacteria employ to hijack that ability. Cells need to orient themselves for several basic processes, such as keeping biochemical ...

Insight E Cigarette Reviews: Tobacco Smoke is Safer Than E Cigarette Vapor Claims Utah Health Official
2012-03-01
The e cigarette is under fire again by special interest and misguided politicians using now debunked FDA testing as their reasoning for a ban of the electronic cigarette in public places.
According to science, it is the combusted plant material that is inhaled deep into the lungs that cause over 99% of the harm generated by tobacco.
Electronic cigarettes have the same or lesser amounts of these nicotine based chemicals than pharmaceutical smoking cessation drugs that are approved by the FDA for the general population in over the counter gums, patches and other NRT ...
The Buzz of Today's Bachelorette Parties, According to BachelorettePartyFun.com
2012-03-01
Planning a bachelorette party in 2012 is far different than the centuries old tradition of a dinner party given by the bridegroom. Recently, the film Bridesmaids brought to light the stereotypical zaniness that can occur during, what is termed, "The Last Night Out." It is believed this night grew out of the 60s sexual revolution, where bachelorettes could be as sassy as the groomsmen, including a night out with exotic dancers, crazy themes, and the ever popular drinking and dancing on bars.
Today's bachelorettes throw a wide variety of parties that involve ...
