With a new baby and a new husband, 2011 has certainly been a memorable year for Kim Zolciak. But the Real Housewives of Atlanta star -- who tied the knot with NFL player Kroy Biermann in November -- says there is one moment, in particular, that she'll always remember.

I currently live in China & would like to purchase the Galaxy on the TM website, without a contract. (But there seems to be no provision to do it) It will ship to a friend in the States, who is coming over & I will use a local SIM card here in China. Any ideas....Thanks!

Ughhh, look at that return line. Must be a thousand feet long. Happens every year. The day after Christmas, and everybody wants to return something. Oh, well, let?s just get this started.
All right, listen up everybody. Refunds and exchanges only. Have your receipt ready and when you reach the counter, state your name, position and reason for return or refund. Got it? OK, who?s first?
?Rick Sund, Atlanta Hawks general manager. I wanna return this.?
What is it? It must weigh three tons.
?It?s Joe Johnson?s contract. It?s got six good years left on it.?
Why are you returning it?
?Just wasn?t what we had in mind. I mean, he?s a great shooter and all. But ??
But what?
?But now we can?t afford any more players to try to win an NBA title.?
Too bad. You should have thought about that before you signed him to that seven-year contract for 68 gazillion dollars. Sorry. I can?t take it back. There?s no resale market for it. Now, please. Step aside.
Next!
?Fredi Gonzalez, Atlanta Braves manager.?
What ya got there, Fredi?
?September.?
September? Like, the whole month.
?Yes. I want to exchange it.?
For what?
?Anything.?
We can?t take back a whole month.?
?Fine. How about just one game??
Any game in particular?
?Yeah, that extra-inning loss to the Cardinals. Just give us that game, which would give the Cardinals another loss, and WE?RE in the playoffs, not St. Louis, and I?M sitting on top of the sunroof of a Caddy rolling down Peachtree Street and celebrating a World Series victory, not Tony LaRussa.?
Sorry, can?t help you. If I gave returns on September collapses, it would change all of baseball history. The Cubs and their black cat jinks, the great Phillies fall of ?64. Besides, your season didn?t just fall apart. Your abuse of your bullpen contributed. Maybe your bullpen wouldn?t have blown that two-run lead if it had been more rested. Then there was your decision to sit Jose Constanza when he was hot because you didn?t want to offend Jason Hayward and your decision to keep running Derek Lowe out there every fifth day. Sorry, the warranty does not cover user misuse.
Neeext!
?Mike Smith, Atlanta Falcons coach. I ? uh ? this is a little embarrassing. I need to whisper.?
Sure, go ahead.
?I want to take back that decision to go for it on fourth-and-1 in overtime against New Orleans. That might have cost us the game.?
Oh, you mean the one you adamantly defended as the right decision. Nice to see you finally admit it. You have your receipt?
?Yeah, right here.?
The NFC South standings?
?Yeah. It cost us a share of first place.?
I see. Well, a refund is out of the question. But tell you what. Beat the Saints tonight in New Orleans, then run the table in the NFC playoffs and you?re in the Super Bowl. Green Bay did it last year. Pittsburgh and New England have done it. That first-round bye is way overrated anyway. Go to the Super Bowl and nobody will remember fourth-and-dumb. Sorry. It?s the best I can offer.
Neeeeeext!
?Nick Saban, Alabama football coach.?
Nick, you?ve already been given a straight exchange on that LSU game. What now?
?Yeah, I just stopped by to say thanks.?
Oh, yeah? Could the fact that our holiday helper in the stock room is 6-foot-5 and can bench press Bryant-Denny Stadium -- and can almost lift the NCAA Manual -- have anything to do with you stopping by?
?No. It?s the recruiting dead period. We can?t talk to recruits. But you know ? (voice raising) ALABAMA IS A GREAT PLACE TO PLAY FOOTBALL, ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT TO PLAY IN THE NFL. AND WE NEED ANOTHER OFFENSIVE LINEMAN. I HAVE SIX SCHOLARSHIPS LEFT, SO I CAN SIGN 17 MORE PLAYERS.?
Neeeeeeeext!
?Mark Richt, Georgia football coach.?
What do you have there?
?My 2012 season schedule. I?m told I have to add Missouri, so I want to return Alabama.?
Actually, we?re working on that. But I can?t guarantee that you won?t have to play Bama in the SEC Championship Game.
?Do you have anything else that?s not crimson? I kinda like maroon. Navy and red look nice.?
As in Mississippi State or Ole Miss? Bet you would like that. Sorry, not happening. We do have this nice purple and gold ?
?NOOOO! (sigh) I?m still having purple nightmares. Fine, I?ll take the crimson. At least they don?t have a Honey Badger.?
OK, neeeeeeext!
?Gene Chizik, Auburn football coach. Is this Lost and Found??
No, it?s the return and exchange line. Why, what did you lose?
?What DIDN?T I lose? I?ve lost my offense, my offensive coordinator, my defensive coordinator, my Top 25 ranking. Now Nick Saban has taken my place in the BCS Championship Game.?
Didn?t you take HIS place last year? He said that rightfully belonged to him.
?That?s what 70 percent of Alabamians think.?
Neeeeeeeext! Folks, I just have enough space to help this one last gentleman.
?That?s OK, we?re all together.?
Together? There must be a thousand people left in line. You?re all here for the same thing.
?Yeah. We?re skeptics, and we?re returning our doubt.?
Doubt about whom?
?Tim Tebow.?
You know he threw four picks Saturday, don?t you? ? Hey, where?s everybody going?
?We changed our minds.?

HAVANA (Reuters) ? At least 38 people died on Saturday when a boat carrying Haitian migrants sunk off the coast of Guantanamo province in far eastern Cuban, Cuban television reported.
It said 87 people, including seven women, were rescued after Cuban civil defense forces spotted the boat 100 meters off Punta Maisi, which is about 600 miles southeast of Havana.
There were no details on possible cause of the accident or the destination of the boat, but search and rescue efforts were still underway, the report said.
The dead included 21 men and 17 women, it said.

Abstract:
Many imaging technologies and their contrast agents ? chemicals used during scans to help detect tumors and other problems ? involve exposure to radiation or heavy metals, which present potential health risks to patients and limit the ways they can be applied. In an effort to mitigate these drawbacks, new research from University of Pennsylvania engineers shows a way to coat an iron-based contrast agent so that it only interacts with the acidic environment of tumors, making it safer, cheaper and more effective than existing alternatives.
The research was conducted by associate professor Andrew Tsourkas and graduate student Samuel H. Crayton of the department of bioengineering in Penn's School of Engineering and Applied Science. It was published in the journal ACS Nano.
Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, is an increasingly common feature of medical care. Using a strong magnetic field to detect and influence the alignment of water molecules in the body, MRI can quickly produce pictures of wide range of bodily tissues, though the clarity of these pictures is sometimes insufficient for diagnoses. To improve the differentiation ? or contrast ? between tumors and healthy tissue, doctors can apply a contrast agent, such as nanoparticles containing iron oxide. The iron oxide can improve MRI images due to their ability to distort the magnetic field of the scanner; areas they are concentrated in stand out more clearly.
These nanoparticles, which have recently been approved in the United States for clinical use as contrast agents, are literally sugar-coated; an outer layer of dextran keeps the particles from binding or being absorbed by the body and potentially sickening the patient. This non-reactive coating allows the iron oxide to be flushed out after the imaging is complete, but it also means that the particles can't be targeted to a particular kind of tissue.
If the contrast agent could be engineered so it only sticks to tissue that is already diseased, such as tumors, it would solve both problems at once. Scientists have tried this approach by coating nanoparticles with proteins that bind only to receptors found on the exterior of tumors, but not all tumors are the same in this regard.
"One of the limitations of a receptor-based approach is that you just don't hit everything," Tsourkas said. "It's hard to recommend them as a screening tool when you know that the target receptors are only expressed in 30% of tumors."
"One of the reasons we like our approach is that it hits a lot of tumors; almost all tumors exhibit a change in the acidity of their microenvironment."
The Penn engineers took advantage of something known as the Warburg effect, a quirk of tumor metabolism, to get around the targeting problem. Most of the body's cells are aerobic; they primarily get their energy from oxygen. However, even when oxygen is plentiful, cancerous cells use an anaerobic process for their energy. Like overtaxed muscles, they turn glucose into lactic acid, but unlike normal muscles, tumors disrupt the blood flow around them and have a hard time clearing this acid away. This means that tumors almost always have a lower pH than surrounding healthy tissue.
Some imaging technologies, such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy, can also take advantage of tumors' low-pH microenvironments, but they require expensive specialized equipment that is not available in most clinical settings.
By using glycol chitosan ? a sugar-based polymer that reacts to acids ? the engineers allowed the nanocarriers to remain neutral when near healthy tissue, but to become ionized in low pH. The change in charge that occurs in the vicinity of acidic tumors causes the nanocarriers to be attracted to and retained at those sites.
This approach has another benefit: the more malignant a tumor is, the more it disrupts surrounding blood vessels and the more acidic its environment becomes. This means that the glycol chitosan-coated is a good detector of malignancy, opening up treatment options above and beyond diagnosis.
"You can take any nanoparticle and put this coating on it, so it's not limited to imaging by any means," said Tsourkas. "You could also use it to deliver drugs to tumor sites."
The researchers hope that, within seven to 10 years, glycol-chitosan-coated iron oxide nanoparticles could improve the specificity of diagnostic screening. The ability to accurately detect sites of malignancy by MRI would be an immediate improvement to existing contrast agents for certain breast cancer scans.
"Gadolinium is used as a contrast agent in MRI breast cancer screenings for high-risk patients. These patients are recommended to get an MRI in addition to the usual mammogram, because the sensitivity of mammograms can be poor," said Tsourkas. "The sensitivity of an MRI is much higher, but the specificity is low: the screening detects a lot of tumors, but many of them are benign. Having a tool like ours would allow clinicians to better differentiate the benign and malignant tumors, especially since there has been shown to be a correlation between malignancy and pH."
The research was supported by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program.

Tina Fey, left, and Julianne Moore in character as former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
Who's the best Sarah Palin impersonator?
Well, until recently, Tina Fey -- of course! The "30 Rock" star practically wrote the book on the former Alaska governor, who lost her bid for the vice-presidency in 2008, running alongside John McCain.
Fey's impersonation alongside "Parks and Recreation" star Amy Poehler (as Hillary Clinton) on "SNL" went huge as a viral video, and Fey even earned the Associated Press Entertainer of the Year award for the portrayal.
But ... Fey may have some serious competition. HBO has recently released a clip of its upcoming "Game Change" film, which looks at McCain's presidential campaign -- and, of course, his pairing with the surprisingly telegenic Palin. But rather than hire Fey, the filmmakers went with ... four-time Oscar nominee Julianne Moore. And really, the appearance is truly striking.
So we ask you: Who is the better Sarah Palin?

LOS ANGELES - Actor Alec Baldwin said in his weekly New York radio podcast that he no longer has the appetite to run for New York City mayor, criticizing current candidates and expressing doubts the job was powerful enough to cause change.
?I?ve lost my appetite,? Baldwin, 53, said during his interview with?Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close director Stephen Daldry on his WNYC radio podcast, Here?s The Thing.
?The people that are running for mayor, I know this is terrible, I look at them and I don?t see myself in that crowd,? said the actor.
A possible foray into politics by the 30 Rock actor has often been speculated upon in the media, with the actor himself saying he was ?very, very interested? in the politics ?game? in an interview with CNN earlier this year.
On his podcast, Baldwin and Daldry, a Londoner, were discussing the politics of their respective cities with Baldwin casting doubt on a potential political career by saying ?The older I get, the more I feel that all of it has changed.?
The actor added that he didn?t want to give up his ?wonderful life? for the chance to change society when he?s not sure if a New York City mayor could still make an impact.
30 Rock star Baldwin, who recently made headlines after being asked to leave an American Airlines flight for playing a game on his smartphone before takeoff, also joked about the incident in the interview, saying ?Some days, some flights are different than others.?
