In 1895, Wilhelm Röntgen discovered X-rays and used them to image the bones in his wife’s hand, kicking off a revolutionary diagnostic tool for medicine. Now two of NASA’s X-ray space telescopes have combined their imaging powers to unveil the magnetic field “bones” of a remarkable hand-shaped structure in space. Together, these telescopes reveal the behavior of a dead collapsed star that lives on through plumes of particles of energized matter and antimatter.

Here’s the article from NASA – sure wish I’d seen this for posting yesterday!

Rite Aid has more than 2,000 stores in 17 states – but may soon have far fewer. Late Sunday night, the drug store chain filed for bankruptcy, in an effort to “accelerate its ongoing business transformation” and “position the company for long-term success.”

And that “success” may come only after closing hundreds more stores.

The company promises it will be business as usual, for the most part, as it has secured $3.45 billion in new financing to help it get through the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process. But it may not be business as usual for many of its locations.  Here’s the Coupons in the News link to the story.

One Save insert in this week’s paper (10/15).  Not all papers carry the same coupons or values, so this national list might show coupons we don’t get around Chicago.  Isn’t it strange how RedPlum (which morphed into Save), as the smaller insert of the pack has now gotten so much larger than SmartSource?

Glazed salmon and shrimp cocktail, served on half slices of multi-grain toast – I’m really puling out all the stops for Pita’s Permaculture class today.  They’re asked to bring food one time during the entire class semester, so this should blow ’em away!  Salmon, broiled with Major Grey chutney.

Fewer people are sitting in front of a desktop computer to shop online these days. So why don’t coupon browser extensions work when you’re using your favorite retailer’s app on a mobile device? Shopping on your phone or tablet can end up costing you, if it means missing out on coupons and deals that are available to desktop users.

So one coupon code provider is working to change that.

Rakuten has described a way to apply coupon codes to purchases made in third-party mobile apps, in a recently-published patent application. “A number of browser extensions are able to detect coupon code fields and test coupon codes on webpages,” the patent documentation reads. “However, this functionality does not yet exist in mobile applications… As many transactions occur on the go by means of mobile applications, there is a need for a system and method for detecting and filling coupon codes in a mobile domain.”

Rakuten is one of several coupon code aggregators offering a browser extension to automatically inject available coupon codes into the checkout page of a retailer’s desktop website. If you’re shopping on a mobile device, these aggregators also offer their own apps where you can activate offers before shopping on a retailer’s mobile website. Here’s the entire (short) article from Coupons in the News.

Two inserts in this week’s paper (10/01): SmartSource and Save. Not all papers carry the same coupons or values, so this national list might show coupons we don’t get around Chicago.  Those BOGO Dove coupons might come in handy for a future Walgreens promotion.

It may bring to mind images of gently used, hand-me-down cans of peas, or boxes of mac and cheese that came from the back of someone’s cupboard and may or may not have expired this century. But the backers of a unique new grocery store promise it won’t be filled with someone’s unwanted giveaways.

Goodwill Industries of the Valleys in Roanoke, Virginia has gotten the go-ahead to open what’s believed to be the country’s first-ever, full-fledged Goodwill grocery store. The city council last week approved a rezoning request, clearing the way for renovations to get underway at a former Goodwill repackaging facility and office building. Here’s the article from Coupons in the News.
