NOAA satellite image taken Tuesday at
1:45 a.m. EDT shows a swirl of clouds associated with Tropical Storm Isaac as it moves
slowly in the Gulf of Mexico toward the central Gulf Coast. Landfall is
expected later Tuesday or early Wednesday in Louisiana,
putting New Orleans in the strongest part of the storm.
Isaac could also strengthen into a hurricane before
landfall. A line of clouds stretching from the southeast
through the northeast is associated with a cold front
moving through the area.

In this file
photo from Oct. 15, 2009, the famous 3,300-year-old bust of Queen Nefertiti
is on
display at the "Neues Museum" (New Museum) in Berlin,
Germany.
Berlin is to honor the centenary of the
discovery of the famed bust of Egypt's Queen Nefertiti -- one of
the city's top tourist attractions -- with an exhibition of works
from the Amarna site where she was found, many of them freshly
restored.
The Egyptian Museum said Monday that the show, "In the Light of Amarna," will open Dec. 6
-- the
100th anniversary of the day when a German excavator unearthed
the 3,300-year-old limestone bust of Nefertiti, wife of Pharaoh
Akhenaton, at Amarna in southern Egypt.
