Twitter makes it easier to decide who you'll follow first
Twitter said early this year that it would do more to help first-timers follow people, and it's now making good on its word. The social network has just revamped its sign-up process to help you tailor those first follows to your interest. Rather than simply toss out a bunch of suggestions, Twitter now asks you to choose topics you like (such as music or technology) and offers recommendations to match. You'll also see recent tweets from those accounts, so you'll have a better sense of whether or not that celebrity or news outlet is really a good fit.
The new sign-up system isn't perfect. By default, it will automatically have you following every suggestion; you have to deselect the people you don't want to watch. Still, it could give you a much gentler introduction to the service by showing people you're more likely to care about — Twitter is hoping that you'll see enough interesting activity to stick around. The company obviously has some financial incentives for helping you out, but it's hard to object to a bigger, better welcome mat.

Ukraine rallies the Twitter troops as Russia invades
Strange as it may seem, wars aren't just fought with bullets and bombs anymore. Tweets and shares can at times be equally potent, and that's probably why Ukraine mounted a social offensive yesterday after Russian troops began engaging with domestic forces in the border town of Novoazovsk. The country's Foreign Ministry implored Twitter users retweet its message and to use the hashtags #RussiaInvadedUkraine and #UkraineUnderAttack to spread the word of Russia's incursion. It looks like the plan's working, too. #RussiaInvadedUkraine is the more popular of the two hashtags, and according to Topsy, it's been deployed in over 400,000 tweets over the past 24 hours.
Alas, perhaps the best tweet on the matter was issued by Canada's NATO delegation, and lacked either hashtag. Unsurprisingly, Russia continues to deny its move into Ukraine's sovereign territory, though it's since been legitimized by US intelligence and images released by NATO. As The Washington Post's Ishaan Tharoor points out, this is far the from the first social media showdown that Ukraine and Russia have been embroiled in. Back in April, Russia's own foreign ministry hijacked the #UnitedForUkraine hashtag promoted by the US State Department with tweets throwing Ukraine and its allies under the bus.

Twitter wants everyone to know how many people read their tweets
Publishers and verified users have been able to track view counts on organic tweets since last month, but Twitter is looking to make that data more widely accessible. Today, the microblogging social network revealed that this analytics feature is no longer limited to people or companies with a tiny blue check mark on their profile. The tweet activity dashboard is now also available to users who are active primarily in English, Japanese and Spanish, and have had an account for longer than two weeks. And don't worry, support for additional languages is coming — Twitter let it be known that it is working to bring its tool to everyone sometime "soon." So, there it is, now you won't have to wonder if anyone's actually reading those thoughtful (and wonderful) tweets of yours.
Want to know how your Tweets are performing? Check out the revamped Tweet activity dashboard: https://t.co/g6w5dsqIo0

Absolutely thrilled to open up access to http://t.co/wcU6oj9hFM to EVERYONE. Check it out, and let us know what you think!

Messaging's mission impossible: One inbox to rule them all
My phone buzzes. I glance at it and see a text message from my husband, who wants to know if I can pick him up from work. Later that day, my phone buzzes again. This time, it's a Facebook Messenger notification from my mother, who wants to chat about an upcoming trip. At the same time, a friend pings me using Twitter's Direct Messages. Next, a colleague strikes up a conversation on Google Hangouts. Realizing it would be easier to handle all of these with a computer, I flip open my laptop so I can chat with everyone simultaneously. Within the span of a few hours, I've chatted with four different people on four completely different messaging platforms. And the juggling doesn't stop there.
It used to be that sending an SMS was enough. Now there's a seemingly endless number of ways to stay in touch with someone. And it's not just dedicated messaging apps like WhatsApp or Line either. Instagram added direct messaging this past December; Vine followed suit earlier this April; and even Pinterest joined the bandwagon recently by letting pinners chat with other pinners. And, of course, Twitter has had direct messaging for almost eight years now. While variety and choice are generally good things, all of these messaging services introduce a perplexing problem: We have too many inboxes.
Being able to send messages within different applications isn't all bad, of course. If I think of an interesting photo or video I want to share with just my friends on Instagram, I can do so within the app easily. The same with Pinterest — I can continue the collaboration process of pinning designs and planning a home remodel, for example, without having to use another messaging service. And, of course, messaging apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are a lot cheaper to use than traditional SMS — for US users at least, there's no need to fork over exorbitant messaging fees every month or, if you're on a limited plan, cough up pennies with every text.
But the problem is all of these messaging services and apps are siloed experiences. Messages can't be shared outside of their respective ecosystems. Worse still, I have an obligation to use all of them because different people in my social circle use different apps. When I travelled to Malaysia earlier this year, WhatsApp was the app of choice amongst my friends. A couple of my other pals use Snapchat, so I have that installed on my phone too. A few other early adopter friends (most of whom are admittedly tech writers like myself) use Slingshot, Facebook's Snapchat alternative, so I've got that as well. I also installed Path's Talk app and Line to chat with a few people, though they were mostly to exchange fun stickers. I even downloaded that silly Yo app, even if I only ever use it in jest.
Forrester researcher Thomas Husson said in a report on messaging apps entitled "Messaging Apps: Mobile Becomes The New Face Of Social" that the "fragmented nature of the social media ecosystem is inherent to the fact that individuals have multiple identities." Basically, people use different apps and networks for different reasons. For example, people tend to use LinkedIn to talk with potential business partners, while they might use Facebook Messenger only with friends or family. Further, some messaging apps tend to be more popular in certain parts of the world — Line, for example, has a stronger following in Asia — which, if you have friends all over the globe, would mean you're constantly switching between services.
What's the big deal, you might ask? Our smartphones and computers are certainly more than capable of handling these disparate systems, and besides, it's not that difficult to switch between apps, right? Well, sure, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. I shouldn't have to have a dozen different messaging apps on my phone to talk with all the people in my life. Chris Heuer, a longtime social media user and CEO of Alynd, a social business startup, expresses the same frustration over too many apps: "I think what's missing in this whole discussion on messaging now is that the messaging is now often done within the context, instead of messaging being the context." It's the reason why he dislikes the fragmentation of Facebook Messenger away from the core Facebook app. "Now I have another app I have to open and that will waste more time I don't have … I've got enough apps. I want less, not more."
Several years ago, there was a similar problem with too many instant-messaging protocols. I used all of them — AOL, Yahoo, MSN, GChat and, yes, even ICQ. I remember installing all of these apps on my computer and keeping them all logged in at the same time because, for some reason, my friends and coworkers just couldn't agree on the same IM platform. Then, something wonderful happened. All-in-one apps like Trillian and Adium came along to unite most of the disparate IM services under one program. At last, I could launch just one app to chat with everyone.
What we need, then, is an equivalent universal inbox for messaging. No, not just for all your email and text messages. For everything. We need a smart inbox that'll sort messages by service, label them appropriately and will let you continue conversations within just one app.
There are a few solutions out there that come close to solving the problem. The Hangouts app for Android, for example, is able to handle both Google's IM system and text messages. If you're a loyal BlackBerry fan, you already know that the OS from Waterloo has a unified inbox that can house emails, texts and messages from Facebook and Twitter in one place. Disa.im is an Android app currently in alpha that promises to combine SMS, WhatsApp, Hangouts and Facebook messaging in one place as well. There's also an app called Messages+ that promises to do the same thing, though it seems to fall short — it doesn't support incoming messages for WhatsApp and we weren't able to use it to send a message on Facebook.
Still, none of these really live up to the dream of that one, true universal inbox for everything. Which is, sad to say, probably more fantasy than reality. Not only because most of these apps are walled gardens, but also because some, like Snapchat and Slingshot, are based around messages that are meant to disappear after you've read them. Further, new messaging features and apps crop up all the time, making it tough to keep something like a universal inbox up-to-date.
The alternate solution, of course, is to insist on just one communication method for people to contact you. You probably won't be able to keep in touch with as many people in your life, and it might be harder for people to reach you. But, perhaps, that's the price to pay for sanity.
Hold on, my phone's buzzing again.

Twitter's 'Buy Now' button may be powered by Stripe payments
Remember that illusive "Buy Now" button that briefly showed up on Twitter last month? Re/Code says it's still on the way — and it's backed by Stripe, a mobile payments startup. According to sources close to the outlet, merchants that want to sell products through tweets will need to sign up with Stripe's payment platform to get started, suggesting that the startup will be the only way to pay for goods on the social network. In the past, Twitter has been rumored to be working with Fancy.com to create a "Twitter Commerce" platform, although its unclear when the company's retail ambitions will come to fruition. Still, something is clearly in the works.

Twitter can now prompt attachments via hashtag
Thinking about using a hashtag in your next tweet? Watch out — Twitter might use it as an excuse to attach a video or image to your message. A promotion for ABC's new TV comedy "Selfie" revealed that Twitter can now prompt users to attach media to a tweet based on the hashtags they use. iOS users who compose a message with #SelfieABC, for instance, will be asked if they want to attach the TV show's first episode in the tweet.
Users still have to manually select "attach" to embed the suggested object in the tweet (and it only seems to be working on iOS for now), but it's an interesting evolution on what hashtags are capable of. As for the show? It's a modern, over-the-top take on My Fair Lady with internet humor and meme references liberally sprinkled on the surface. Sound like your kind of show? The first episode is just a tweet away.

Twitter shows how its bots keep your timeline spam-free
Have you noticed that you're getting a lot less spam on Twitter these days? You may have to thank a bot for that. Twitter has just shed light on BotMaker, a recently developed system that (as the name suggests) lets the social network create anti-spam bot code with very little effort. Within a few seconds, engineers can set up rules that automatically take down and track spammers, in some cases before they've even managed to post anything. Besides barring known spam links, the bots can flag suspicious behavior — if a lot of people block an account after it sends a tweet, it's going to be watched very closely. BotMaker will also look at long-term behavior, so spammers that slip through the cracks aren't necessarily safe.
Importantly, you shouldn't notice that BotMaker is working; it's designed to only fight certain forms of spam as they arrive, and saves more time-consuming tasks for later. Whatever its impact on performance, it's proving to be effective. Twitter is reporting a 40 percent drop in spam since its new tool kicked in, and it can improve any less-than-perfect rules within seconds instead of hours. It's doubtful the technology will ever completely rid the world of pitches for fake followers and cheap drugs, but it should help staff police a rapidly growing user base without hurting your day-to-day experience.

Twitter to delete photos of deceased upon family request
After saying it would take a more hands-on approach to bullying, Twitter will now remove images of deceased persons upon family request in "certain circumstances." That follows an atrocious instance of harassment, in which several users sent Zelda Williams fake images of a body in a morgue following the death of her father, Robin Williams. After she decided to leave the social network, Twitter said it "(would) not tolerate abuse of this nature." The new policy states that users can request the removal of such images "from when critical injury occurs to the moments before or after death" by emailing email@example.com. However, Twitter added that it would also consider "public interest factors" and may not accommodate all requests.

Twitter is officially putting tweets from strangers in your timeline
You know how Twitter started inserting others' favorites and follows into your timeline? As it turns out, it's not an experiment — it's official policy. We now know that the social network recently updated its timeline explanation to confirm that it's adding tweets from strangers, new accounts to follow and other "popular" content to your feed. Like you might have suspected, the company is trying to make your stream "even more relevant and interesting" by showing you material you might not otherwise have seen.
It's reassuring that Twitter isn't simply broadcasting everything you do. However, as Quartz notes, it still represents a big change to the way the service behaves. Outside of ads, the timeline has always focused on showing you the latest content from people you meant to follow. Now, it's a more Facebook-like experience where the company chooses a bit of what you see in an attempt to get more active users and boost its ad revenue. You shouldn't miss out on any of the action, but you may have to wade through some clutter (and become some of the clutter) to get what you want.

Twitter tries sharing your favorite tweets with others
Have you recently noticed people commenting on your Twitter favorites, even when you didn't (intentionally) share them with the rest of the world? You're not alone. The social network has started putting your favorites and following activity in your followers' timelines, whether or not you're mentioned — if you really like an article, others may know right away. It's not clear whether this is an experiment or a permanent feature, and we've reached out to Twitter for the full scoop.
The exact motives for the decision aren't apparent so far, although Twitter has been taking many steps to keep people engaged with its service and generate that all-important ad revenue. Showing more than just updates and retweets could help bashful members strike up conversations. However, early feedback suggests that the company might have overstepped its bounds. Besides populating Twitter feeds with content that people didn't ask for, the move also appears to play fast and loose with privacy. Many use favorites for bookmarks and other personal reasons; they may not want to share links or clever quotes with their followers, which is what the retweet button is for. While the feature only periodically kicks in and may help you discover new content or people, there's no doubt that it irks at least some users.

Gold was down 0.7 percent or $9.01 to $1,287 an ounce on Wednesday, according to Reuters. U.S. consumer spending, which comprises two-thirds of the country's economic activity, increased at a rate of 3 percent in the first quarter, according to a report from the Commerce Department released today. This data shows continued growth in the U.S. economy, making both equities and the dollar more appealing. Furthermore, U.S. policymakers will announce later in the day whether they will continue to taper the Federal Reserve's bond-buying program, which investors believe is likely.
"That should have a negative impact on gold, unless we get some surprising developments again on the geopolitical front," Peter Fertig, a consultant at Quantitative Commodity Research, told Reuters.
U.S. gold for June delivery was trading down $8.50 at $1,287.70 per ounce.

My 72 year old friend just moved in with me and my fiancee. He has taken out a life insurance policy for 100,000 and made me the beneficiary. Can his five grown child whom would not take him in after his being evicted, dispute my receiving the pay out of the policy at his time of death? We are also his care takers. Do we need to get a power of attorney to be safe? Or a executed will? How much for that?
The Power of attorney would be useful during your friends incompetence but would not help with regard to the life insurance policy. Neither would a will or a trust. Those documents may help with your friends other assets, but not the life insurance policy. Life insurance is a contract so it does not fall under probate or trust administration. However, if your friends family make an allegation that the only reason your friend named you as beneficiary under the life insurance policy is because you unduly influenced him then they could challenge you. There is a presumption in the law that a gift to a caregiver is because of undue influence. I would recommend you have your friend see an attorney, without you. Have your friend take a cab, or arrange for the attorney to come to your home when you are not there. If the attorney is a good estate planning or better, and elder law attorney then he will understand the issues and will prepare something often referred to as a certificate of independent review. This will be valuable if your ever questioned latter.
The children cannot contest a valid life insurance policy naming you as beneficiary. Usually the agent or broker writing the policy witnesses the signature. A power of attorney would do you no good and will in any event terminate upon death of your friend. He can writer a will but proceeds from a life policy pass outside the will unless the beneficiary is the decedent's estate.
The life insurance policy with a beneficiary and is not controlled by the will or trust.
The power of attorney is void upon death but would be a good document to help your
friend at time of need.
A will or trust is a must for everyone.
The children might try to contest the insurance policy if the suspect incompetence or undue influence.
Insurance is a contract; as long as your friend was decisional when he took out the policy generally it can't be contested, and normally passes outside of the decedent's estate except possible for estate tax purposes if he retained ownership of it during his lifetime and there is cash value. So a POA and/or will really isn't the answer. If anything, your friend may want to consult with an attorney about the possibility of an insurance "trust" so that if he becomes unable to fund the premiums there is a "reserve" or trust fund set up to do so, so that the policy doesn't lapse. But without knowing much more about the kind of insurance it is, it is impossible to really be of help.

Research Profile: William Narteh GBLERKPOR
My research interests include archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, Iron Age archaeology of Ghana, archaeology of identity, religious rituals, public archaeology, and landscape archaeology. During the last decade, I have been involved in the identification, documentation, mapping and excavation of archaeological and historical sites I perceive to be relevant to Ghana's development. My ongoing doctoral research combines archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, and ethnohistory to explore materiality, rituals, power, and social relations and landscape transformations in south-eastern Ghana (Krobo) before and during European contact on the Gold Coast. My dissertation also seeks to examine the role of Klowem, the ancestral Krobo cultural and political center in Krobo ethno-genesis as well as contemporary use of the site in heritage tourism and legitimization of political power in the area.
My research also forms part of a larger archaeological and heritage management initiative I have co-directed with Dr. K. Gavua since 2007: Krobo Mountain Archaeological Research Project (KMAP), a partnership between the University of Ghana and the Krobo Traditional Councils. This flagship project provides opportunities for practical training for many of the technical staff, graduate, and undergraduate students of the Department of Archaeology and Heritage Studies, University of Ghana, where Gavua and I are affiliated. The KMAP project emphasizes five key principles: Community engagement, rapid information dissemination/sharing, knowledge creation, training, and accessibility. Recent publications include "Material Culture and Ethnic Identity: The Case of the Krobo, Ghana" (Lauer, H. et al [eds]. 2011. Identity Meets Nationality: Voices from the Humanities. Accra, Sub-Saharan Publishers), and "Current Archaeological Research at the Krobo Mountain Site, Ghana" (Insoll, T. [ed.] 2008. Current Archaeological Research in Ghana. Cambridge Monographs in African Archaeology, 74: 71-84.
In addition, since joining the Department of Archaeology and Heritage Studies in 2005, I have helped organized two international conferences on Archaeology and Heritage Management in Ghana. The most recent: "Harnessing Ghana's Heritage Resources for Sustainable Development" was held in September 2013 at the University of Ghana. I am also currently serving on a review committee set up by the Executive Director of the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board to draft a new national heritage law for Ghana.

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Expands Its Reach in the Southern United States
Community Health Leaders award partners with Houston-based Harris Foundation.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is pleased to announce that the national program office (NPO) of the RWJF Community Health Leaders (CHL) Award will now be based at the Harris Foundation in Houston, Texas. The Community Health Leaders Award will continue as an RWJF-funded program as the national program office forms a strategic and supportive partnership with the Harris Foundation.
"With the Community Health Leaders' national program office now based in Houston, RWJF will expand its reach to grow our family of dedicated and innovative leaders," said Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, M.D., M.B.A., president and chief executive officer of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. "We look forward to celebrating this next phase of growth for the 17-year-old Community Health Leaders Award."
The Community Health Leaders Award elevates the work of leaders by raising awareness of their extraordinary contributions through national visibility, a $125,000 award and networking opportunities. These leaders overcome significant obstacles to tackle some of the most challenging health and health care problems facing their communities and the nation. Today, there are 173 Community Health Leaders in nearly all states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.
The program will continue under the able leadership of Janice Ford Griffin, who has administered Community Health Leaders at RWJF headquarters in Princeton for the past two years.
In reviewing areas of high population density in the United States, the locations of current Community Health Leaders and the geographic distribution of RWJF grantees, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recognizes a unique opportunity to position the national program office to align the Community Health Leaders Award with the nation's shifting demographics and to expand the Foundation's programming in the South, where there are proportionately fewer RWJF grantees compared to other regions of the country. Houston is the nation's fourth-largest city and home to an array of leadership initiatives and educational institutions, including those that provide training for health professions and careers.
The Houston-based Harris Foundation offers a new, rich network that can help expand the outreach for nominations of new leaders, as well as reach new venues for increasing the visibility of current ones.
In its new location, CHL will have a strategic alliance with the Harris Foundation, which has community-based programs, public and private partnerships and collaborations with numerous colleges and universities throughout the nation.
"The Harris Foundation looks forward to forging a strong strategic partnership with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to support the mission of the Community Health Leaders Award, which honors exceptional men and women working to address health and health care problems facing their communities," said Bernard Harris, M.D., founder and president of the Harris Foundation.
Founded in 1998, the Harris Foundation (THF) is a 501(c) (3), nonprofit organization. Its mission is to invest in community-based initiatives to support education, health and wealth. THF supports programs that empower individuals—in particular, those who are underrepresented, or economically and/or socially disadvantaged—to recognize their potential and pursue their dreams.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation focuses on the pressing health and health care issues facing our country. As the nation's largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to improving the health and health care of all Americans, the Foundation works with a diverse group of organizations and individuals to identify solutions and achieve comprehensive, meaningful and timely change. For more than 35 years, the Foundation has brought experience, commitment and a rigorous, balanced approach to the problems that affect the health and health care of those it serves. When it comes to helping Americans lead healthier lives and get the care they need, the Foundation expects to make a difference in your lifetime.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) established the Community Health Leaders (CHL) Award to recognize individuals who overcome daunting obstacles to improve health and health care in their communities. Today, there are 173 outstanding Community Health Leaders in nearly all states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.

Accurate and Efficient Integral Surfaces in Time-Dependent Vector Fields
Integral surfaces, as a natural generalization of integral lines, are a basic yet powerful tool for insightful vector field visualization. Representing a continuum of integral lines, they constitute a surface and allow for the application of surface shading techniques. In comparison to streamlines or other line-based techniques, they support depth perception and greatly facilitate the visual understanding of complex three-dimensional ... [more]

U.S. Seeks To Resurrect Iraqi Air Force
Planners at the U.S. Central Air Forces Command have begun conducting an assessment of equipment requirements to boost the Iraqi air force's counterinsurgency and intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance capability. One option under consideration could involve light attack aircraft such as the Raytheon T-6A/B Texan II turboprop single.
The Iraqis operate three Lockheed Martin C-130 transports provided by the Americans, a few donated Bell UH-1 Huey and 206 JetRanger helicopters and a modest collection of light piston aircraft including Seabird SB7L-360s, Aerocomp Comp Air 7SLs, and Sama CH2000s. Brig. Gen. Allen Peck, commander of coalition air operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, oversees the plans for renewing the Iraqi air force.

Well,this was a pleasant surprise! Tucked away down a small side street off Vauxhall Bridge Road, Gustoso was a true lunchtime delight. From the same stable as Al Duca in St James and The Beehive in Paddington, the owners are now bringing their trattoria style quality to the Victoria/Pimlico area. The restaurant itself is simple but attractively furnished with unfussy wooden tables and chairs and the large frontal picture windows give good daylight to the room leading to the bar area at the rear. The place was busy but the staff were attentive and helpful and did all they could to make us feel welcome. The food was very good and excellent value: choosing from a wide selection on the daily changing specials board, my starter of chilli prawn linguine was very good and the monkfish to follow a wonderful blend of textures and flavours. My companion's beef carpaccio was very well presented and his special crab pasta dish was "an absolute delight". The wine list, whilst not extensive contained a reasonable selection of trustworthy, competitively priced Italian varieties and the Puglian Copertino we had (a subtle blend of Negromara and Malvasia nera grapes) was a great accompaniment to a delicious meal. One to visit – you won't be disappointed.

Voracious buyers find the meat on Sara Lee's bones
By Kevin Allison
The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are his own.
Voracious buyers are finding the meat on Sara Lee's bones. The old consumer conglomerate broke itself up into meat-focused Hillshire Brands and coffee-roaster D.E Master Blenders 1753 in 2012 after spurning takeover offers worth about $12 billion, according to press reports at the time. It looked like a raw deal - until now.
Assume Sara Lee had accepted an offer in 2011, whether from private equity shop Apollo or the team of Brazilian beef giant JBS and Blackstone. Shareholders would have received a 33 percent premium to the company's value before deal rumors started. Had they then put the cash into either an S&P 500 tracker fund or a basket of consumer stocks, they would have made a return of around 50 percent, leaving them with $18 billion.
That is only now starting to look possible from the path Sara Lee actually took. And it's all thanks to the current cook-off for Hillshire between Pilgrim's Pride and Tyson Foods, which both covet the porky margins from selling Jimmy Dean sausages and Ball Park frankfurters.

Li Ka-shing still has what investors want
By Una Galani
The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are her own.
Li Ka-shing may be an octogenarian but he still knows when to buy and sell. An analysis of 16 listed parts of the Hong Kong tycoon's telecoms-to-energy empire, with a combined market capitalization of more than $170 billion, shows a mixed record of delivering shareholder returns. Yet Li's flagship holding companies have matched or beaten the market over the past two and five years. For investors, it pays to invest as close as possible to the man himself.

Q: You've come through the tsunami, the recalls, manufacturing issues. What lessons have you learned both as an executive and as a company?
LENTZ: I think if you look at the recalls, we learned to listen much better, we learned to act much faster, and we learned to be much more transparent. And that has to do with dealing with regulators and dealing with customers. The tsunami was a great challenge for us. Our supply chain collapsed, literally within about two hours, and I think we really learned to understand it much better.
Q: Is the recall situation fully behind you?
LENTZ:We've settled the MDL (multi-district litigation) suits. We are making our way through the rest of the issues. I think from a customer standpoint, it's behind us. Our loyal customers that had an experience with us, I think relatively quickly we were fine with them. The customer that didn't have the experience, that wasn't sure what was going on, has been slower to return. And I would say that today we're probably 80 percent back with that buyer. In total, I would say we're probably 90 percent back.
Q: Do you consider it high that gasoline has averaged $3.50 for three years, and does it matter anymore?
LENTZ:I think customers have been desensitized to high gas prices. A gas price of $4 or $4.25 won't change behavior as it has in the past. What changes behavior is rate of change. So if gasoline goes from $3.50 to $4.50 over eight months, I don't think consumers change their buying behavior. But if it goes from $3.50 to $4.50 in 60 days, that's when we see change.
Q: What is the long view for Toyota on younger buyers who have a lot of student loan debt and are coming into a lower salary base?

Members of the Thalian Association want less business and more creativity on their board of directors, and they were willing to get rid of those currently in power to get what they want.
After a heated debate though, it looks like the current members will be sticking around.
Some members say all odds were against them in their fight to change the way the organization was run, a fight they've been struggling with since two long term employees were ousted earlier this year.
"Really this was a last chance for us to get face to face with the board and let them know that we were upset as a membership group," Troy Rudeseal, a former board member said. "I think there will be sort of a long standing rift among a lot of people because of this."
Many supporters of the association were kicked out of the annual meeting of the members Wednesday night, a gathering open to the public until this year.
Some former board members believe the choice to close the doors to guests was just another way the current board was trying to quiet the voices of the Thalian Association Members and prevent further people from becoming a part of the discussion.
"We're a community theater organization, and as such, we have an obligation to be inclusive, not exclusive, not elitist," Sally Howe, a former board member, said. "I'm not really clear on what we're doing anymore."
However, board members say this had nothing to do with politics.
A press release given to WECT said:
The board decided to separate the Thalian Awards from the annual meeting this year, as combining them compromised each event. A non-profit annual meeting is intended for members to conduct business for the organization, and the Thalian Awards is a public awards program to honor very talented actors, directors and volunteers.
The release went on to say that combining the two events compromised the board's ability to do justice to either.
"I don't know what the next step is for the Thalian Association," Rudeseal said. "I think there are a certain number of people that probably don't want to be associated with them anymore. That's unfortunate because it is a fantastic organization."

Excellent tour, highly recommend
Brilliant, bus waiting two minutes from ship. Literally got off ship onto bus.
We thoroughly enjoyed te hop on hop off bus. First we rode the bus to see what and where the exhibits were and then went back to see them.
Was great riding the bus and getting off and on.
Good tour and lots of options for sightseeing.
Lawrence M
We use hop o0n hop off on all our holidays, we find we can visit or explore at our leisure without having to return to a coach at a set time. The commentary is informative and helps to decide where to stop.
Picked us up fight at the disembarkation place. Just make sure that you board the one that is labeled City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off and it worked great !
Everything as expected
The bus came right to our ship. Oslo is a big city with many sites spread out in a large area. The hop-on-hop off made it easy to get from site to site. It was raining the day we visited Oslo and the bus made it convenient .to stay dry while traveling between sites. It was also possible to skip some outside venues and come back later when the showers stopped. In Oslo as in some other locations, there are copy cat hop-on-hop off buses that look almost identical. People were frequently trying to get on the wrong buses. Make sure you note the slight differences between them. Our's was identified as the "Official" hop-on-hop off. Bus staff pointed this out at our first ship side stop.
pick up right at pier - great - 1 1/2 hour around the circuit - good way to see the city even on a rainy day
United Kingdom
Brilliant. Picked up right outside ship, by very friendly staff. Good value trip.
We took the Hop on-Hop off bus. Cheaper way to tour the place. The drivers are very helpful. Had a great time!
We'll organized but need more buses during the busy time
A very good tour that stopped at all the right stops.

About Carnegie Institution
Andrew Carnegie founded the Carnegie Institution of Washington in 1902 as an organization for scientific discovery. His intention was for institution to be home to exceptional individuals—men and women with imagination and extraordinary dedication capable of working at the cutting edge of their fields. Today, Carnegie scientists work in six scientific departments on the West and East Coasts.
Our legal name, the Carnegie Institution of Washington, has led to confusion because four of our departments are outside Washington and because our legal name does not distinguish us from other non-profits created by our donor. As a result, the institution adopted a new look and name in 2007—the Carnegie Institution for Science. The new name closely associates the words "Carnegie" and "science" and thereby reveals our core identity. The institution remains officially and legally the Carnegie Institution of Washington, but now has a public identity that more clearly describes our work. The institution is additionally confused with other, unaffiliated Carnegies listed at this link.
Carnegie investigators are leaders in the fields of plant biology, developmental biology, Earth and planetary sciences, astronomy, and global ecology. They seek answers to questions about the structure of the universe, the formation of our solar system and other planetary systems, the behavior and transformation of matter when subjected to extreme conditions, the origin of life, the function of genes, and the development of organisms from single-celled egg to adult.
The Carnegie Institution for Science is headquartered in Washington, D.C. It is an endowed, independent, nonprofit institution. Significant additional support comes from federal grants and private donations. A board of trustees, consisting of leaders in business, the sciences, education, and public service, oversees Carnegie's operations. Each of the six departments has its own scientific director who manages day-to-day operations under the leadership of Richard A. Meserve, Carnegie president. In addition to the scientists on staff, there is a constantly changing roster of pre- and postdoctoral fellows and associates, as well as visiting investigators, at each facility. Each of the six departments is independently managed by a director, who is aided by support staff. Carnegie is also involved in education at the lower levels.

Cauliflower is one of several vegetables in the species Brassica oleracea, in the family Brassicaceae. It is an annual plant that reproduces by seed. Typically, only the head (the white curd) is eaten. The cauliflower head is composed of a white inflorescence meristem. Cauliflower heads resemble those in broccoli, which differs in having flower buds.
Its name is from Latin caulis (cabbage) and flower,. Brassica oleracea also includes cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale, broccoli, and collard greens, though they are of different cultivar groups.
For such a highly modified plant, cauliflower has a long history. François Pierre La Varenne employed chouxfleurs in Le cuisinier françois. They had been introduced to France from Genoa in the 16th century, and are featured in Olivier de Serres' Théâtre de l'agriculture (1600), as cauli-fiori "as the Italians call it, which are still rather rare in France; they hold an honorable place in the garden because of their delicacy", but they did not commonly appear on grand tables until the time of Louis XIV.

When it comes to boosting traffic, e-retailer ThinkGeek.com isn't afraid to use every trick in the book—joke book that is.
When it comes to boosting traffic, e-retailer ThinkGeek.com isn't afraid to use every trick in the book-joke book that is. The online retailer, which sells toys, games and novelty products, adds a selection of fake gag gifts to its web site every April Fool's Day, and the tradition has established quite a following. ThinkGeek says traffic to its site has spiked every April 1 since the tradition began in 2001.
"We really started to do it just for fun," says Jennifer Frazier, co-founder, design and user interface manager for ThinkGeek. "We had no real intentions of causing any kind of buzz."
But the program did create buzz. Traffic at ThinkGeek increased 700% between March 31st and April 1st this year, Frazier says. And, she adds, each year brings more curious pranksters to the site. The last few years, traffic on April Fool's day has been about twice as high as it is during the busiest day of the holiday season.
Part of that traffic may stem from the YouTube videos ThinkGeek began creating last year to accompany the mock products. In 2007, the e-retailer created one video for its Wii Helm, a Wii controller built into a helmet to allow a consumer to use his head to control the Nintendo video game console. The video has been viewed 443,000 times.
This year, ThinkGeek made videos for three of its products. Frazier says it's difficult to track the videos' impact because there is not a direct link from YouTube to the ThinkGeek site, but, at a minimum, she says they boost brand awareness. The company also is getting more mentions on blogs and forums because of its April Fool's tradition, ThinkGeek says. However, Frazier says ThinkGeek has not seen a noticiable increase in sales from the program.
Employees brainstorm all year on unique, quirky gifts and then meet for a brainstorming session a couple months before the launch. This year's lineup includes the hyper-caffeinated Captain Buzz`s Spazztroids breakfast cereal, complete with a healthy 180-milligram dose of caffeine per bowl; the Personal Soundtrack T-Shirt, offering the perfect dramatic melody to accompany each daily personal experience; and the Betamax to HD-DVD Converter, so a consumer can transfer all those old Betamax tapes in that box from his parent`s basement to high-definition DVDs.
Everything on the company's home page today is fake, except a $20 T-Shirt. When a consumer attempts to place a mock item in the cart, she gets a message that the item is not for sale. Mock items will stay on the ThinkGeek homepage for a few days and then be archived so latecomers can still have a chuckle.

Sample Reviews
I was so happy with the informative estimate. As an inexperienced home owner, I was taught what would be best for the property. The employees were fantastic! They made sure that they were trimming just what I wanted. They were super careful when driving through the yard and working around buildings and vegetation. They were respectful and happy to answer my questions.I was so amazed with the great clean up job after all that messy work. It looked much cleaner than before they started. Every stray leaf and twig was raked and disposed of. I used these guys because of the reviews on Angie's List. I couldn't be happier! I check the list first time every time now. .
They were careful and professional and removed all the trimmings. our decision to hire
This company is amazing. We have two large live oak trees in our yard. There were many dead limbs that became a hazard to anyone who went back there mainly because they were falling out of the trees. Mr planned for the trees as well as why he was going to do it. He answered all of my questions and then some. Very very knowledgable about what he does and very personable as well. When the job started it took just over a day to complete. They did arbor trimming of both of the trees which meant a lot of work and heavy equipment. He and his crew were very professional and polite and made sure I was pleased with each major section they accomplished before moving on to the next. This job meant a lot of limbs and saw dust, however, if you didn't know that they were there you would have never known it the next day. The clean up that these guys did was just as amazing as the work on the trees. They were very considerate of our yard and our space as well as anything in it. Everything was swept up, cleaned, and put back in its place when they left. They even hosed the dust off the cars. Overall I could not be happier with the job. The trees look amazing and we now have a safer place for our family to enjoy. I would use them hands down again in the future and will refer anyone with any tree needs their way.
This is the second time I have used that they understand how to properly cut the trees and thats important to me since these trees could not be replaced given their size.
The crew (
The crew (
They came promptly whe I told them I was worried broken limb would fall and damage neighbor's garage. Tree thoroughly examined, all options explained with prices. The work was done,the tree is beautifully balanced. Yard was left in better shape than it was before they started. They were efficient, polite,professional. Very impressive, cannot say enough positive about this experience, highly recommended!
The young man who showed was very rushed. He was on the phone, taking calls while we were speaking with him at least 4-5 times. At one point he said he was pressed for time, and would come back. After another phone call, he said he'd finish. He was going to show us pictures of plantings, but never did. Since we were most concerned about spraying for bagworms, which were killing shrubs one by one very quickly, we asked if we could just schedule that. He said he had to get the complete signed contract into the office to do anything, but if we signed now, they would spray before the weekend ( this was Wed., about 10:000) So, even though not happy, I signed. When no one showed up Wed, or Thurs, I called, and they said they'd call me back. Never heard back, never came to spray. Monday I called and canceled the contract. To be fair to Greenwood, the owner called us to apologize, and they did return our deposit.. Out of the 15 minutes he was here, their estimator was on the phone at least half that time. I never knew if he was talking to me, or into the Bluetooth he wore. I just never felt so rushed, and was treated so rudely, by someone looking for my business.
they would be doing and asked if had any questions.
The crew did a fantastic job (number 10) the tree looks the best it has in years and they removed all debris from the yard. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND
The crew did a fantastic job (number 10) the tree looks the best it has in years and they removed all debris from the yard. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND
The worst contractor I have ever hired! Agreed to plant a new tree at the site of one he removed then left a large stump. When I questioned him he told me " I don't think you should put a tree there", then tried to charge me more to remove the stump. I wanted to be at home when this job was done so we agreed on a date for him to do the work, he came a week earlier. I was working, called to let him know my neighbor would be removing the cut wood. He became very angry, told me he had promised my wood to "poor church folks" and took it away. He left a big mess in my yard and driveway. Would never call this company or recommend them to anyone.
We think we're the best, and we can prove it.
