*** RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE *** FILES- Handout photo obtained on September 8, 2009 from StatoilHydro shows the world's first floating full-scale offshore wind turbine taken on June 8, 2009 in the North Sea off the coast of Norway. Norway's government went to court on October 19, 2009 against oil giant StatoilHydro in a bid to secure compensation for having to pay what it deemed an disproportionate share of cost over-runs in the construction of an offshore platform 10 years ago. The state is StatoilHydro's principal shareholder. The overall cost of the Aasgard platform, built in 1999 in the Norwegian Sea, exceeded the original budget by 17 billion kroner (2.0 billion euros, 2.9 billion dollars at current rates) to land at nearly 66 billion kroner.

TV: Critic's picks for Oct. 12
FOOD: Man v. Food (OLN, 7 p.m.)<br> Equal parts food show and travelogue, this series follows Adam Richman on his cross-America road trip to sample unhealthy cuisine in every single zip code. Tonight, his noble quest takes him to Chapel Hill, N.C., to sample the city's fabled chicken and cheddar biscuit. Next stop: Minneapolis, where Richman scarfs down the local delicacy known as the Juicy Lucy – a thick hamburger with a molten-cheese middle. Nothing exceeds like excess in America.
