Police have netted 31 people in three countries in the past 24 hours in a Europe-wide manhunt, after $50 million in uncut gems were stolen in a daring assault at the Brussels airport this February.
It?s a plotline that is worthy of a movie (it is probably being written at this very moment).?And it gripped the Belgian public. Perhaps no group more so than the jewelers across town who always face a certain vulnerability, simply because of the value of the goods behind their glass counters.
?Everyone was fascinated, but of course the jewelry workers are the most interested,? says a woman at an antique jewelry shop in a famous covered gallery in historic Brussels who wished not to share her name.
The Belgian prosecutor?s office said that on Tuesday that seven were arrested, including six people in Switzerland and one man in France, who could be a mastermind of the robbery. And in the early dawn today, some 200 police fanned across Belgium and detained two dozen more suspects, many of them criminals known to the Belgian justice system.
"We believe the man arrested in France is one of the authors of the robbery," said Jean-Marc Meilleur of the Brussels prosecutor's office.??"It's the only person that we can say at this stage they could have participated in the events on the tarmac. Among those arrested in Belgium, at least 10 are known to the court, including for armed attacks. They are part of the Brussels criminal underworld."?
Smooth operation
The robbery occurred on the evening of Feb. 18, 2013. As passengers buckled up and the plane got ready for takeoff, eight men in police uniform in two cars drove?through the fence of the Brussels airport and raced, with police lights flashing, across the runway.
Driving up to the plane, which had just been loaded with the gems, they held up the crew and forced open the cargo hold, loaded their vehicles with 120 packages totaling an estimated $50 million, and sped through the fence. No one was hurt. And it was so fast and precise that passengers are said to have not even been aware of what happened until it was over ? and their flight was cancelled.
This isn't the first time Belgium has been the scene of a diamond heist. Antwerp, a diamond capital, is just a thirty minute drive away from Brussels. But the events of this one captivated the globe. When a security guard was asked at a higher-end Brussels jewelry store ? where customers are attended to one by one and treated to champagne as they peruse fine jewels ? if he had followed the news, he said ?of course,? surprised by the question. He wasn?t authorized to share his name ? or to even talk (instead he was busy looking at the customers filing in).
Back at the antique store, the owner says her store has been held up twice in 20 years; the diamond store just in front of them was held up six months ago, she says. ?We are relieved they were caught,? she says, ?to know [the thieves] aren?t out there and ... the police are working and are not involved in it.?

Hubble tells a tale of galactic collisions
May 12, 2013 ? When we look into the distant cosmos, the great majority of the objects we see are galaxies: immense gatherings of stars, planets, gas, dust, and dark matter, showing up in all kind of shapes. A new Hubble picture registers several, but the galaxy catalogued as 2MASX J05210136-2521450 stands out at a glance due to its interesting shape.
This object is an ultraluminous infrared galaxy which emits a tremendous amount of light at infrared wavelengths. Scientists connect this to intense star formation activity, triggered by a collision between two interacting galaxies.
The merging process has left its signs: 2MASX J05210136-2521450 presents a single, bright nucleus and a spectacular outer structure that consists of a one-sided extension of the inner arms, with a tidal tail heading in the opposite direction, formed from material ripped out from the merging galaxies by gravitational forces.
The image is a combination of exposures taken by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys, using near-infrared and visible light.

Woman Almost Dies After 40 Hour Gaming Session - Kotaku
Traveler's Thrombosis, or deep vein thrombosis is an affliction that is often associated with flying. However in China, it appears that it is more commonly associated with video gaming than it is with air travel, especially now that after a young woman developed the condition after a 4o hour gaming session.
The People's Daily reports that a 20 year-old female gamer was taken to the hospital in Fujian province after complaining about leg pains. The gamer, Xiao Han (a psuedonym), was diagnosed with the possibly life threatening ailment Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) at the hospital. After a gruelling treatment of surgery and medicine, Xiao Han is now fine.
When doctors asked what Xiao Han was doing prior to her leg pain, she explained that she had been playing an online game. Unfortunately the doctors didn't specify which online game, but they told the People's Daily that Xiao Han had spent the over 40 continuous hours sitting down playing.
DVT is a condition when blood clots in a deep vein of the leg. It causes mild to extreme pain and has the possibility of leading to death. Basically, the clots occur in the leg, depending on time and luck the clot breaks off and travels through the blood stream and flows into the lungs (or other organs). When it reaches the lungs it can cause severe issues which can lead to death. Symptoms of DVT are often swelling and redness of the legs.
DVT is commonly associated with air travel other activities of long sitting such as playing video games. According to the US Federal Aviation Administration, DVT is known to "occur in 1 out 1000 people in the general population" from various causes. Last year a young man in Taiwan died in an internet cafe as developing DVT during a long gaming session.
The People's Daily article was kind enough to point out methods to preventing DVT. It recommends that gamers should take breaks, get regular exercise and drink lots of water. Of course it failed to mention that gamers should be careful when they partake in ridiculous gaming marathons.

German court to hear case against ESM, ECB bond-buying in June
DEAR ABBY: I am a 47-year-old male, married for 26 years. I am hopelessly in love with my wife and still see her as the most beautiful woman in the world.I have always been self-employed and have sometimes been at the extremes of feast or famine. During the bad times, I often worked 110-plus-hour weeks to save the ship. Each time things have gotten really bad, my wife has had an affair to make up for the time, money and attention I can't provide her. I found out about her latest affair (her third) when I found a secret cellphone in her purse. ...
