MIAMI?? If there?s any woman in the world envied for her jewels and exceptional beauty, it?s Elizabeth Taylor. And this week the world was reminded of her wealth, her power and her ability to get the best out of men, including love and gems.

Christie?s sold a 55-carat pearl known as ?La Peregrina,? a tear-shaped gem that Richard Burton gave Taylor in early 1969, for $11.8 million at auction on Tuesday evening.

By the time Burton bought it, ?La Peregrina? had already spent centuries traveling from the hands of a slave to Spain, France and the United States in an intense bidding war between Spain?s Royals, France?s emperor?s family and America?s millionaires.

?It has become the most expensive pearl ever sold at auction,? Rahul Kadakia, head of Christie?s New York Jewelry Department, told Telemundo News.

From Spanish royalty to Napoleon
La Peregrina was discovered in the early 1500s by an African slave at the Pearl Islands in the Gulf of Panama. Its name means ?rare,? or ?special,? and it was offered to King Phillip II of Spain, becoming part of the crown jewels of the Spanish Crown.

At the time it was valued at 714,000 maraved?, a gold and silver coin currency brought to Spain by the Moorish Almoravids, which would be the equivalent of $8,000 U.S. dollars today.

La Peregrina was inherited by Phillip III of Spain and it passed from generation to generation of Spain?s royals.? But in 1808, when Jose Napoleon was named king of Spain by his brother Emperor Napoleon, the jewels of the Spanish Crown fell into his hands, and La Peregrina was one of them.

Jose Napoleon stole them all and gave La Peregrina to his wife, Julie Clary, who proudly showed it until the day the marriage ended. Napoleon then took the jewel with him to the United States, where he lived in New York City and Philadelphia.

Napoleon bequeathed the jewel onto Napoleon III, the ruler of the second French empire, who, after his deposition in 1815 - and later arrest in France - was sent to England were he sold La Peregrina to James Hamilton, later the Duke of Abercorn.

The late actress's legendary jewelry was auctioned off at Christie's in New York. NBC's Brian Williams reports.

The Duke bought the pearl for his wife, Louisa Hamilton, the Duchess of Abercorn, who lost it twice because the heavy jewel fell out of its necklace?s setting, but on both occasions the pearl was recovered.

According to Christie?s records, La Peregrina remained in the hands of the Abercorn until 1914.

Fast-forward to 1969, when it showed up at auction in Sotheby?s. Richard Burton and Taylor, who had married for the first time five years earlier, were both still enjoying the success of their movie ?Who?s Afraid of Virginia Wolf,? which Taylor won her second Academy Award for.?

Burton, evidently still in love during that first marriage (the pair later divorced in 1974, remarried 16 months later in 1976 and divorced again), went to Parke-Bernet galleries, one of the largest auctioneers of fine art in the U.S, on Jan. 23, 1969. The auctioneer had already acquired by the rare pearl from Sotheby?s, and Burton wanted it for his bride.

But Burton had a strong opponent to bid against: Alfonso de Borb?n Dampierre, an envoy of the Spanish royal family whose mission was to get the jewel back to Madrid?s Royal Palace.

Despite Dampierre?s credentials, he was outbid by Burton, who offered $17,000 over what the royal family was ready to offer and took it home at the final price of $37,000.

An unexpected thief
Burton gave it to his wife on Valentine?s Day, and as had happened a century before, one day the pearl went missing from the couples? suite at Caesar?s Palace in Las Vegas.

?I reached down to touch La Peregrina and it wasn?t there,? Elizabeth Taylor wrote in her book ?Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair With Jewelry.?

?I glanced over at Richard and thank God he wasn?t looking at me, and I went into the bedroom and threw myself on the bed, buried my head into the pillow and screamed. Very slowly and very carefully, I retraced all my steps in the bedroom. I took my slippers off, took my socks off, and got down on my hands and knees, looking everywhere for the pearl. Nothing.?

And then, she thought not her husband but someone else in the suite may have it.

?I just casually opened the puppy?s mouth and inside his mouth was the most perfect pearl in the world. It was ? thank God - not scratched.?

Perfect and not scratched it was, indeed. And today, after years traveling from one continent to another, from slave, to kings, to emperors and millionaires, it lives in the hand of an unknown bidder who at $11.8 million has bought not only a pearl, but history in the shape of a tear.??

Russian fishing ship lists badly near Antarctica

In this undated photo provided by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), Russian fishing vessel Sparta is tied up at an unknown location. The Sparta, with 32 crew members, is in trouble and taking on water near Antarctica, Friday, Dec. 16, 2011, with heavy sea ice hampering rescue efforts. Officials said it could be four or five days before anybody reaches the ship to try to rescue the crew.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) ? A Russian fishing vessel with 32 crew members was taking on water near Antarctica on Friday. Heavy sea ice was hampering rescue efforts, and officials said it could be four or five days before anybody reaches the ship to try to rescue the crew.

The Sparta was listing at 13 degrees next to the Antarctic ice shelf in the Ross Sea, according to Maritime New Zealand. The agency said that the crew was safe and was throwing cargo overboard to lighten the ship, and that some of the crew had boarded lifeboats as a precaution.

The ship has a 1-foot (30 centimeter) hole in the hull about 5 feet (1.5 meters) below the water line, the agency said. The crew so far had managed to pump out much of the incoming water and had attached a tarpaulin over the outside of the hole to slow the water flooding in, the agency said.

The crew have asked for more pumps to be sent to them and will try and make repairs to the hull, the agency said, adding it was trying to figure out a way to deliver the pumps.

"It's a very remote, unforgiving environment," said Andrew Wright, executive secretary of the Australian-based Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, which has licensed the Sparta to catch toothfish in the Southern Ocean.

Wright said he didn't know what caused the hole, although he added that an iceberg "would be a good candidate."

The Sparta, which is 157 feet (48 meters) long, sent a distress call early Friday. Maritime New Zealand said heavy ice in the Southern Ocean would make it difficult for other ships to reach the vessel.

The Sparta's sister ship Chiyo Maru No. 3 was 290 nautical miles away and heading toward the stricken vessel but had no capacity to cut through sea ice, the agency said. A New Zealand vessel, the San Aspiring, had some ice-cutting ability and was also en route, but was four or five days away. A third vessel was just 19 nautical miles away, but it was hemmed in by heavy ice and unable to move toward the Sparta.

Ramon Davis, who is coordinating rescue efforts for Maritime New Zealand, said a C-130 Hercules plane that arrived from Antarctica flew over the scene to assess ice conditions in the area to speed up the rescue efforts. But Davis said the aircraft would not be able to pick up the crew.

Davis said there were no helicopters in the area and that another vessel remained the most viable option for trying to rescue the crew.

"It is possible the crew will have a fairly long wait for rescue," he said.

He said that if the crew manage to lighten the ship enough by getting rid of cargo and pumping out water, it's possible the hole in the hull would rise above the water line.

The crew has some emergency immersion suits that could keep them alive for a time in freezing water, Maritime New Zealand said.

The weather in the area was calm, with temperatures a relatively mild 37 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius).

Commission records list the captain of the Sparta, which was built in 1988, as Oleg Pavlovich Starolat, who is Russian.

Future Tech: 8 Ways We Could Recycle Our Wasted Heat (Mashable)

Julian Taub is a freelance science writer and performance poet in the East Village of NYC. He writes a nanotechnology blog called Julian?s TechSplurge, and runs Late Nite Labs? science blog. You can follow him on Twitter: @JulianTaub. Every electrical appliance -- from a humble light bulb to a MacBook Pro -- leaks precious heat. Electric companies love this fact. We, on the other hand, should be looking for solutions.

[More from Mashable: Christmas Crafts: 8 Easy Tutorials From Snowflakes to Stockings [VIDEOS]]

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute teamed up with the University of Wollongong in Australia to design a new material that converts heat into electricity. They mixed zinc oxide nanoparticles (the material that makes sunscreen dry clear on your skin) with aluminum and heated it in a microwave for about three minutes. The zinc oxide conducts electricity and the aluminum makes it harder for the molecules to transfer heat. The difference in temperature between the two parts of the material sparks the electrons to start an electrical current.

Though the resulting thermoelectric material is far from efficient at this point, the zinc oxide has a new property: the ability to transfer heat was lessened by twenty-fold.

[More from Mashable: Level Up: 4 Ways to Gamify Workplace Teams]

Thermoelectric materials that turn heat into electricity have been around for a while, but are typically expensive and inefficient. The microwaved zinc oxide is an environmentally friendly technology that should produce affordable materials. The question is, how can we use this material to make a much-needed impact on society and the environment.

Here are eight implementations that would help the movement gain momentum.

1. Heat-Trapping Computer Mat

Laptops are getting more and more efficient, but they still lose a significant amount of heat during use. By creating a thermoelectric layer on the bottom of your computer, you can conserve some of it. This ?mat? would connect to a heat pipe (a device that channels all the heat in the computer to a specific area) and turn the heat back into electricity.

The mat might also be used to charge additional devices like a mobile phone or iPod.

2. A Heater That Powers Your Lights

While modern household boilers are more efficient than their predecessors, they still waste a lot of energy as they heat your home -- not to mention the significant heat lost through steam pipes. By covering your boiler and lining pipes with thermoelectric material, you would save energy while reducing the electric bill. The material can also link up to your regular (or holiday) lights, powering them with heat energy that would otherwise be wasted.

3. Hot Air Conditioner

Cooling and heating systems have used thermoelectricity in the past; however, these devices turn electricity into heat, not the other way around. They are also very inefficient and expensive. For instance, a thermoelectric cooler that holds only nine soda cans costs about $80 and uses a battery power or an AC adaptor to draw the heat away from the container. These types of devices also tend to break down easily. Despite their flaws, if you?re interested in checking out one of these bad-boys, I suggest a Koolatron.

The expense for thermoelectric home air conditioners is so high that virtually no market exists -- the systems can cost upward of $900. However, this could change very soon. This technology can be improved so that the heat from the surrounding environment runs the machine -- it wouldn?t require a battery or plug at all. The air conditioner would react to the heat outside, then create an electrical current that pumps cold air into the room.

4. Powering Transportation Accessories

The team that originally developed the zinc oxide material had this application in mind. A high amount of energy is required to run these types of vehicles, and a lot of heat is lost in the process. However, thermoelectric heat from turbines or pistons can power almost any vehicle accessory, from the GPS system to the automatic windows to the seat warmers. It could also prevent a car from overheating.

5. A Hot Summer Day Powers Your Car Radio

While similar to the previous idea, here the material is not attached to the engine. Rather, it?s built into the car frame?s interior and exterior. That way, the hot air outside will contact the thermoelectric material and power your car speakers, or create a hot air conditioner by extracting that same outside heat energy.

6. Body Heat Powers Your Watch

Since the advent of smartphones, watches have become optional accessories. However, expensive watches remain stylish status symbols. Thermoelectric material can break into the existing accessory industry by marketing body heat watches to mainstream tech culture.

The watch design is simple. Watches, which usually run on quartz crystal, don?t require much
energy to keep time. Because the human body is constantly producing heat, skin temperature would generate the watch?s energy, and then store it for long term use (say, if you haven't worn your watch in a while). Ultimately, the clock would receive energy through a steady release of voltage.

7. The Meal You Cook Powers Your Dishwasher

Nobody really enjoys washing dishes. Besides, dishwashers guzzle up electricity. However, heat produced by your oven, stovetop or microwave could provide more than enough energy to get the cleaning job done. One patch of thermoelectric material would absorb energy during the cooking process, convert the heat to electricity, and store the energy in a capacitor. After a hearty meal with friends and family, place all the dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Once you flip the switch, the electricity collected from the hot stovetop or oven would activate the cleaning cycle.

8. Temperature Changing Clothes

In 2009, MIT graduate Kranthi Vistakula started his own clothing company in Ahmadabad, India. ClimaWare clothing uses thermoelectric material to control the wearer?s external temperature. The wearer can adjust temperature settings by pressing the modules on his clothing. The material is lightweight, no heavier than a regular pair of jeans. The only major downside? Each jacket costs about $800.

Nonetheless, this amazing technology has the capacity to revolutionize the clothing industry, especially amidst rapidly changing weather patterns. The main customers right now are the U.S. and Indian armies. And as thermoelectricity technology continues to advance, these options will become less expensive and more accessible to the public.

Monster black hole is nearly 10 billion times the mass of the sun

All large galaxies are thought to harbor super-massive black holes at their hearts that contain millions to billions of times the mass of our sun. Until now, the largest black hole known was a mammoth dwelling in the giant elliptical galaxy Messier 87. Now research suggests black holes in two nearby galaxies are even bigger.

Scientists have discovered the largest black holes yet, and they're far bigger than researchers expected based on the galaxies in which they were found.

Skip to next paragraph

The discovery suggests we have much to learn about?how monster black holes grow, scientists said.

All large galaxies are thought to harbor super-massive black holes at their hearts that contain millions to billions of times the mass of our sun. Until now, the?largest black hole known?was a mammoth dwelling in the giant elliptical galaxy Messier 87. This black hole has a mass 6.3 billion times that of the sun.

Now research suggests?black holes?in two nearby galaxies are even bigger. [Photos: Black Holes of the Universe]

The scientists used the Gemini and Keck observatories in Hawaii and the McDonald Observatory in Texas to monitor the velocities of stars orbiting around the centers of a pair of galaxies. These velocities reveal the strength of the gravitational pull on those stars, which in turn is linked with the masses of the black holes lurking there.

The new findings suggest that one galaxy, known as NGC 3842, the brightest galaxy in the Leo cluster of galaxies nearly 320 million light years distant, has a central black hole 9.7 billion solar masses large. The other, named NGC 4889, the brightest galaxy in the Coma cluster more than 335 million light years away, has a black hole of comparable or larger mass. Both encompass regions or "event horizons" about five times the distance from the sun to Pluto.

"For comparison, these black holes are 2,500 times as massive as the black hole at the center of the

Milky Way galaxy, whose event horizon is one-fifth the orbit of Mercury," said study lead author Nicholas McConnell at the University of California, Berkeley.

Astronomers had suspected that black holes more than 10 billion solar masses large exist, based on light from quasars, cosmic objects from the early universe that are no more than a light year or two across but are thousands of times brighter than our entire galaxy.

The light of quasars is thought to come from matter driven to incandescent brightness as it spirals at high speeds into?supermassive black holes. This is the first time scientists have detected black holes approaching such theorized giants in size.

"These two new supermassive black holes are similar in mass to young quasars, and may be the missing link between quasars and the supermassive black holes we see today," said study co-author Chung-Pei Ma, an astrophysicist at the University of California, Berkeley.

The researchers suggest these relatively dim black holes may be the aged remnants of quasars ? "their central black holes are no longer fed by accreting gas, so have become dormant and hidden," Mai told SPACE.com. "The boisterous quasars may have passed through a turbulent youth to become quiescent giant elliptical galaxies."

This pair of black holes is 1.6 to 4.6 times more massive than one would predict from their galaxies, based on details such as the brightness of the bulges at their centers. These findings suggest that black holes may grow differently in large galaxies than in small ones.

"We know that bigger galaxies are made by mergers of smaller galaxies, and during this process, the black holes at the centers of the smaller galaxies can merge to form bigger black holes," Mai said. "But black holes can also grow by being fed by gas in their vicinity. It's a bit like asking, 'Are taller children produced by taller parents or by eating a lot of spinach?' For black holes, we are not sure."

The researchers are now analyzing data on even more black holes. They detailed their findings in the Dec. 8 issue of the journal Nature.

Wisconsin Tops Michigan State In Big Ten Championship To Clinch Rose Bowl Berth

INDIANAPOLIS ? Wisconsin got the late touchdown it needed, the late stop it needed and the big break it needed Saturday night.

Otherwise, the inaugural Big Ten championship game may have ended the same way the Badgers' first round with Michigan State did.

Montee Ball scored four touchdowns, the last coming on a 7-yard run with 3:45 left, and the Badgers used a running into the kicker penalty to kill the clock as No. 15 Wisconsin hung on to beat No. 11 Michigan State 42-39 and earn a second straight Rose Bowl bid.

"It makes it twice as nice," Badgers coach Bret Bielema told the crowd after hoisting the trophy. "They came out today, they weren't going to be denied, and to do it here, first time ever ? Big Ten champs, twice!"

Yes, the Badgers (11-2) were ready to party when streamers started covering the field. Some players walked into the postgame news conference carrying roses. Quarterback Russell Wilson, the game's MVP, tucked the rose behind his ear.

Next up for Wisconsin is Pac-12 champion Oregon, which beat UCLA in its conference title game Friday night.

But the Badgers almost didn't make it.

After losing on a deflected Hail Mary pass in October in East Lansing, the Spartans (10-3) looked as if they might pull off another miracle comeback Saturday night when they forced what appeared to be a three-and-out with less than two minutes to go.

Coach Mark Dantonio called for a punt block, but instead of getting the ball or taking advantage of Keshawn Martin's return inside the Wisconsin 10-yard line, Isaiah Lewis hit punter Brad Nortman. The 5-yard penalty gave Wisconsin the ball with Michigan State out of timeouts.

Game over.

"I don't know if he hit him," Dantonio said. "You probably have seen all the replays, but he threw the flag. I thought he flopped a little bit."

It's the second straight year, Michigan State and Wisconsin have been in the Rose Bowl hunt at season's end.

The Badgers got the invite last year based on a tiebreaker. This year, they took the undisputed title thanks primarily to their two offensive leaders ? Ball and Wilson.

Ball was his usually spectacular self early and efficient late. He ran for more than 100 yards and scored on two 6-yard TD runs in the first quarter. He scored two more times in the final 13 1/2 minutes -- once on a 5-yard shovel pass and the other a 7-yard TD run that gave Wisconsin a 40-39 lead. A conversion pass from Wilson to Jacob Pedersen made it 42-39 with 3:45 left.

Ball finished with 27 carries for 137 yards and three scores, and his four TDs put him within one of breaking Barry Sanders' FBS mark (39) as he tried to impress the Heisman voters.

Wilson was nearly as good. He was 17 of 24 for 187 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions and broke the NCAA record by throwing a TD pass in his 37th consecutive game. Graham Harrell of Texas Tech held the previous mark (36).

"This is one of the reasons I came here," Wilson said of the Rose Bowl ticket.

The loss not only extended Michigan State's Rose Bowl drought, it hasn't gone since 1988, and ruined Dantonio's pregame prediction. In an interview taped Friday, Dantonio told a local radio station that the Spartans would win the game and go to the Rose Bowl.

He and the Spartans tried everything to make that happen.

The Spartans ran a fourth-down pass play, called a fake extra point and even got an impromptu lateral for a score ? and that was just in the first half. Kirk Cousins made most of it work. Only one of his 17 first-half passes hit the ground in the first half, and he wound up 22 of 30 for 281 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.

But it was Cousins' ability to fool the normally stout Badgers' defense that nearly won the game.

On fourth-and-1 in the second quarter, he got Wisconsin to bite on a fake pitch and hooked up with a wide open B.J. Cunningham for a 30-yard TD pass to cut the deficit to 21-14.

On its next possession, Michigan State receiver Keith Nichol, who wrestled the Hail Mary pass across the goal line to beat Wisconsin in October, beat the Badgers again. This time, he caught a short pass from Cousins and just before stepping out of bounds lateraled to Cunningham, who ran the final 4 yards for a TD. Michigan State then called for a fake extra point that Brad Sontag ran in to make it 22-21.

"We felt we were having our way offensively the whole game," Cousins said. "We never felt like it was won. But we felt like we had our way offensively."

Even after playing more conventional football for most of the next two quarters and taking a 36-34 lead, the Spartans lined up two different players in the Wildcat formation, ran a reverse and drove for a 25-yard field goal to make it 39-34 with 8:31 left in the game.

But just like the first meeting, the Badgers answered.

Wilson led Wisconsin on an eight-play, 64-yard scoring march, converting a fourth-and-6 when Wilson scrambled, threw back across the field and Jeff Duckworth made a spectacular adjustment to haul in a 36-yard pass. On the next play, Ball burst up the middle for the 7-yard TD to give the Badgers the lead.

This time, the Wisconsin defense stiffened and after a replay review overturned a third-down play that would have gone for a first down, the Spartans punted for only the third time in the game.

They never got another chance.

"It's tough," Cousins said. "We came close two years in a row. We don't get to go, it's tough."

Michigan State's Martin had a career-high nine receptions for 115 yards, the second 100-yard game of his career.
