Surest sign of 'peacebuilding' in Sierra Leone? A trash truck.(Read article summary)
Forget the lack of rebels roaming villages or how many fewer women now face sexual violence, the best sign that Sierra Leone is moving past its brutal civil war is the fact that a trash truck now plies the streets of Freetown.
Freetown, Sierra Leone
In Freetown recently, I came face to face with something that made me a believer: a trash truck.
A believer in what? That depends on what or whom you credit with the appearance of the trash truck. A newly buoyant national government? A streamlined UN better supporting national needs? Aid? Whatever your preferred church of social service causality, the point is that I was sitting in Freetown's legendary traffic, I saw a trash truck.
A picture of a gleaming white sanitation truck will never make it onto a postcard, but it's possibly the thing most worth writing home about. When I first came here two years ago, Freetown rid itself of trash by collecting it in piles at the end of major (and narrow) streets and burning it. There are still a few major piles to be found at strategic locations, but they're tended by trucks – and presumably, workers with nifty new jobs – and the trash is taken away.
You may be asking yourself, Is she seriously writing about trash collection? I get that this has the potential to sound a little snotty, as if the recently returned adventure tourist is pleased to see that the natives have finally discovered sanitation. But that would be too cynical a read even for me. And it would be wrong, for reasons that suggest perhaps this whole peacebuilding thing, which I'm here investigating for the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, has its merits.
Earlier this week, I spoke with Philip Dive, the joint strategy officer at UN country headquarters and, de facto, HQ's peacebuilding point man. Peacebuilding is a word with as many definitions as people you ask, but Dive's take sticks out: He thinks of peacebuilding as a process of normalization, of taking situations so abnormal they demand attention – 70 percent of youth are illiterate! – and fixing them so that, basically, they don't. (Ever read a news story headlined, "Seventy percent of youth can read and write!" Me either.)

In the path of Hurricane Sandy, trying to decide whether to brave 90 mph winds and crashing tides for Assassin's Creed III's midnight launch? First off, seriously? Games aren't much fun when you're trapped in a submerged car. Second off, if you were planning to go to GameStop, the company's already made that call.
Kotaku reports the video game retail franchise plans to comply with directives from state and local authorities, and that "stores in the path of the storm will remain closed until it is safe to re-open and midnight openings for Assassin's Creed III have been cancelled in the northeast."
GameStop advises customers to contact their local stores to find out if they're closing and when they plan to re-open. We've requested comment from Best Buy, which had similarly planned midnight openings at some of its stores, and will update this article if and when we hear back.

"With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves."
Related quotes
"We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and make us think we can survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in races, even alone in genders."
"Only solitary men know the full joys of frienship. Others have their family; but to a solitary and an exile, his friends are everything."
"A solitary, unused to speaking of what he sees and feels, has mental experiences which are at once more intense and less articulate than those of a gregarious man."

|I am a full time student and so is my girlfriend of 5 years. We are looking to move into an apartment together. First off both of us have great credit. I know I have 0 late payments and so does she. I do not believe it is possible for us to gain a guarantor or co-signer though which seems to be a must in our situation. I currently am unemployed but looking for a little part time work while in school. I have approximately $6000 in my bank account though so I can pay several months up front or a little bigger security deposit if you guys think that would help sway a complex? Also my girlfriend and I will be able to take out additional funds with student loans to pay for rent while being in school. And we will be wealthy once out of school as well with high paying and high demanded jobs. Rent will not be a problem at all I just think it will be hard to get approved with no past rental history, no current employment, and no co-signer. Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Follow-Up Postings:
|I am almost tempted to tell you to forget renting - buy a home instead! You are in a good position financially and the market is definitely a buyer's one now, however I wouldn't really advise such a thing unless you're definitely ready for it yourself. Have you considered getting some kind of reference note from your bank attesting to your good financial position and using that as 'collateral'? Have you at least approached a few places and been straight with them about your dilemma and asked them to give you a chance, or at least any idea what to do without having a co-signer (you can't be the only people who've ever been in that position)? The one thing I would suggest is that you be careful (in this turbulent market) about assuming you'll be 'wealthy' with great jobs as soon as you're out of school - nothing, nothing at all, is a sure thing these days and you don't want to be caught short if things don't swim as well as you'd imagined.

|Well, I've been thinking about this. I'm a smaller landlord (3 houses) so tend to be more flexible than say a huge complex.
Before I go further, and this is not to discourage you, just to 'prepare' you a bit. I agree with lucy on your immediate future post-graduation. Don't get me wrong, no doubt when you graduate and get jobs it will feel wealthy, and as you grow in your careers and life, nothing will serve you better than investing your time in a good education. Just don't bank on having a great job with a six figure income right out of college ;). You need to plan for that 'window' of transition between graduating and getting established in your career field (and paying off student loans). Then take off and fly! So try not to blow all your money. ;)
Couple questions:
I do believe in giving people chances. I would rather have you on a yearly lease, but no job, no visible income, full time student, that could get sticky for both of us. I really don't like to do month to month leases, but if I were considering you and your GF, that's the path I'd take. If something soured, I could get you out fast (30 days) and wouldn't have to go to court to do so on a monthly lease. Problem with that is I could be looking at re-renting in as little as few months if the money dries up.
So I'm thinking your best bet is not a complex but rather a house or small apartment geared toward students. They are probably more acclimated to the high turnover rate. Are you in a college town, or do you go to a commuter campus?
Another thought, depending on what rents are in your area, would be to pay the landlord the deposit and a few months up front. Granted you'd be stuck if you hated it there, but it might be a gesture of good faith that you've got rent covered at least for now. Are you banking on the student loans you'll be getting for a future semester (this semester has already been processed, yes?).
If you would answer some of the things I've inquired about, that would fill in a few more blanks and might lead us to a more viable solution for you.
|You are in college and have 6000 between you, and you are unemployed. How would rent not be a problem? Are you aware that student loans are a nightmare--why would you want to increase them more than you have to? Just talk to anybody who is several years out of school and still has loans.
I think both of you should be looking for jobs--maybe you could get a job as rental asst. managers, doing repairs, etc. in an apartment complex.

|"I am almost tempted to tell you to forget renting - buy a home instead! You are in a good position financially and the market is definitely a buyer's one now ..."
Are you JOKING?
They're both students, have only a few thousand dollars in the bank, and are unemployed. You call that a "good" financial position to buy a home?? In most places they wouldn't even qualify for RENT!
That kind of thinking is precisely why our country is on the brink of a recession fueled by a mortgage meltdown.

So gooooddddd!!!! Yum yum thanks for the recipee. I always make this and serve to guests. They cant have enough !!!
Yummy! Tastes like a milkshake! I made this a bit healthier by doing the following: I used 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut cream with added agave nectar (sorry, I didn't measure) instead of the condensed milk. I would definitely make this again and not feel guilty about it because coconut cream (and cononut milk for that matter) is quite good for you and the agave nectar is a low-glycemic, natural sweetener.
This is a great recipe. Smooth and delicious. My guests love it everytime I make it.

Van Eck Launches Hard Assets ETF
Van Eck Global this week launched the Market Vectors Hard Asset Producers ETF (HAP) which is based on an index the New York asset manager created with help from international investor Jim Rogers.
Over the last month or so anything having to do with hard assets, the commodities themselves and the companies that mine or produce them, have been crushed. This part of the market has undergone an extreme dislocation that may not have finished playing out yet.
The simple fact that the resource space is down recently doesn't make HAP a good fund or a bad fund. Nor is the timing of the introduction of the fund good or bad. HAP is simply a new way to access this part of the materials space.
The ETF may be better or worse than other materials funds but the fact the group is down has no bearing on the utility of the fund. Anyone who believes in maintaining a diversified portfolio has some exposure to the space. And the fund does make a good first impression.The methodology of the fund is unique. The fund weights its subsectors (energy 40.3%, agriculture 30.5%, industrial metals 13.3%, precious metals 7.5%, paper and forest 4.3%, and alternatives 4.1%) by how much of each is consumed. By the funds research, 40 cents of every dollar spent on natural resources is spent on energy. The fund invests the most in the U.S. at 39.2%, with Canada at 14.8%. It also has exposure to many other countries like Brazil, Russia, Norway, Malaysia, South Africa and Japan.

Eating food with calcium is ok. Tea and coffee is not. Eating food with calcium does NOT increase your risk of kidney stones (it may actually lower it), but foods that create oxalate can (e.g., tea, coffee, beans, chocolate). Before stopping these, do the following treatments. Only stop these foods if the stones come back after treatment.
Drink water to stay well hydrated. The more dilute your urine, the less likely it is that things will crystallize out.
Taking magnesium and vitamin B6 has been shown to decrease the production of calcium stones by over 90% in repeated studies. Taking a good multi-nutrient supplement is a good way to get these. Consider adding an additional 200 mg of magnesium at dinner to modestly increase its effectiveness, as magnesium's effectiveness at preventing stones may increase if taken with a meal.Helpful? 1 person found this helpful.

July 3, 2010 - By Juan Diaz: I am the son of Mexican immigrants who is a professional boxer with a college diploma. I have earned three world titles in my career and I am training to fight Juan Manuel Marquez for the Unified Lightweight World Championship on July 31. I also own a construction business with my brother and am taking the necessary steps to become a lawyer.
This is because my parents had the foresight to move to the United States so that I could have these opportunities. As we celebrate the Fourth of July, it is important to remember that we live in a country where anything is possible and the "America Dream" is real.
As a young boy, I saw the troubles my immigrant family and friends faced while working to become citizens and acquire the same unalienable rights that Americans often take for granted. There are millions of Mexican immigrants in this country and I know that there are others out there like me who are on the brink of greatness, and could even be the missing link in solving some of this country's toughest problems..
We have reached a crossroads in the way our country handles immigration. In some ways, it seems as though we are taking a step backward with the passage of Arizona SB 1070 which I feel violates basic rights. Despite my feelings about this specific law, I believe in our system of government. I believe in the people's right to vote and to choose who represents them. I believe in checks and balances.
After my days in the ring are over, I want to be a successful lawyer who champions rights for the people. I want to contribute to our democracy and pay my good fortune forward to those who are seeking the opportunities that our Founding Fathers had in mind. I want to help people see that the "American Dream" is not a thing of the past, but a thing of the present and I hope that the Fourth of July is a reminder of how lucky we are to live in this country.

Big Fix?
policy in Eastern EuropeŚMatt Auer wouldn't let this story die
Matthew Auer remembers the pictures, how they were everywhere
at first, and then nowhere.
"In the early 1990s," recalls Auer, "there
were these photos on the front page of the Boston Globe:
Polish kids in hospital beds fighting for every breath. And on
the cover of National Geographic, in the town of Copsa
Mica where there's a carbon black factory: pictures of these
little boys covered head to toe in soot. And then the stories
just stopped coming."
Yesterday's news, as Elvis Costello dryly observed, is tomorrow's
fish-and-chips paper. But when news of environmental policy in
Central and Eastern Europe receded from public view, Auer decided
it was time for serious follow up. Was the region still filthy
with pollution? Which countries were leading the way in environmental
change and which were lagging behind?
The answers, by turns disheartening and hopeful, are the basis
of Auer's edited volume, Restoring Cursed Earth: Appraising
Environmental Policy Reforms in Eastern Europe and Russia (Rowman
& Littlefield, 2004), which focuses on five post-Soviet era
nations—the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Estonia, and
Auer's interest in the region first stirred when he served
as a Presidential Management Intern at the U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID). One of his first assignments was in Eastern
Europe, where he developed environmental aid programs for Poland
and Estonia.
"Before the Berlin Wall fell, we'd heard rumors that
the environment was badly damaged. Now the doors were open and
we could go in and see for ourselves.
"Ironically, we observed a number of largely untrammeled
areas, including coastal zones and forests that were de facto
'preserves' because the military forbade ordinary
people from venturing there.
"But there was also serious environmental decay, especially
in industrialized zones. There were parts of Communist-era Poland,
the Baltic States, and Russia that I'd liken to a hacking
cough." As Auer put it in the introduction to his book,
the Iron Curtain was gone, but a grimy curtain still separated
East from West.
Among the most damaged areas was Upper Silesia. This region of
southwestern Poland "had become a dense footprint of dirty
industries," Auer says, polluted by coalmining, steel production,
smelting, and heavy chemicals. It was a region where birth defects
and mental retardation were much more common than in the rest
of Poland. Cancer incidences were high among children, as were
lead poisoning and respiratory disorders. "They had no stack
emissions controls so there were all kinds of nasty poisons pouring
out of those smokestacks. Unhealthy levels of toxins, including
heavy metals, were in the air, the water, the crops."
As democracy took root, so did environmental reforms, with financial
help from USAID, the World Bank, and, especially, the European
Union. But as excitement over Communism's collapse subsided
and post-Soviet bloc nations began standing on their own wobbly
legs, attention and resources shifted to other regions of the
world. For instance, "USAID got out of that business because
others, namely the EU, were emerging as the region's saviors,"
explains Auer. "They could exit gracefully and let Brussels
take care of cleaning up Eastern Europe. They also recognized
that eastern European countries would listen to Brussels if they
wanted to join the EU."
Internally, citizens, too, shifted their attention elsewhere.
Now that it was safe to complain, they no longer used the environment
as a platform for protest. "In the late Communist era, you
saw a lot of ordinary citizens speaking out against despoliation
of the environment because it was one of the few grievances that
people could safely air. If you did it discreetly without pointing
fingers, you could complain about pollution or habitat loss without
getting thrown in jail. So what you had was a lot of displaced
rage. People were really angry about living in a police state,
about political persecution, and being deprived of freedom. But
they couldn't complain about that, of course. So they complained
about the environment."
As a result, environmentalists of Central and Eastern Europe were
actually in the vanguard in bloodless revolutions against Communism.
Once Communism collapsed, however, the environment ebbed as a
public concern. "Economies are unraveling and people are
now worrying about bread-and-butter issues. How am I going to
put food on the table? Will I keep my job? Russian-speaking citizens
are wondering if they'll be deported to Russia. In extreme
cases, they are not complaining about polluted water because they
are afraid water services will be shut off."
With attention from within and without focused elsewhere, Auer
knew it was time to take up the issue again. "There had
been some scholarly interest in whether Central and Eastern Europe
would fit in with the European Union, but there wasn't a
whole lot of interest in asking that larger question: Was the
EU model a sturdy enough foundation for sustainable development
in the first place? And in addition to this broad question, we
wanted a rather forensic level of detail as to the causes and
consequences of post-Communist environmental reforms."
Among Auer's and his colleagues' findings:
Auer is on to other projects now, among them, working with the
U.S. Forest Service on negotiation strategies for upcoming multilateral
talks on global forest management. He moves into this new project
with lessons learned from his last one. "In both cases,
the rule of law, foreign aid, and foreign direct investment are
essential ingredients in the policy mix. In the case of Eastern
Europe, these elements catalyzed cleanup. Similarly, we can expect
stepped-up enforcement, foreign aid, and investment to make or
break efforts to reverse rapid deforestation in the developing
Matthew Auer is an associate
professor at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at
Indiana University. His research focuses on comparative industrial
environmental politics and the politics of foreign aid. Auer is
also assisting the U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Department of
State on new initiatives for global-scale sustainable forest management.
Auer received his Ph.D. in 1996 from Yale University.

The Paparazzi Versus Celebrities: Whose Side Are You On?
Back in 2004 I was living in Hollywood and in need of a job. I got a start with a well known and notorious celebrity news agency. The atmosphere in the place was near-feral towards celebrities, who were hunted round the clock by photographers commissioned by the agency. It was truly surreal.

Fourscore and loads of years ago, when many of us were but an aroused twinkle in our parents' eyes, a certain legend was born. Yup, that's right, 25 years to this very day, Link and The Legend of Zelda were shoved into the ports of our Famicon Disk Systems. Recently, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has discussed the possibility of releasing a special 25th anniversary collector's compilation, similar to what was done with Super Mario All Stars last year. While you probably shouldn't stave off oxygen waiting for that, you're more than free to accompany us down Recollection Alley, as we look back at a quarter of a century of incredible Zelda games.
Once upon a time when Sigourney Weaver was busy fighting extraterrestrials with severe saliva problems and Betamax tapes were all the rage, Nintendo released its legend. The fugly-ass pixels above may not look like much now, but all the seeds for the dynasty were planted here. Searching for pieces of the fragmented Triforce. Protecting Hyrule from the malevolent Ganondorf. Saving some chick whose name has temporarily abandoned us. It all started here for our beloved tunic-sporting elf boy.
Like that weird third cousin your family never talks about, who survives on fish heads while living in an attic, this black sheep of the Zelda herd is rarely discussed in polite company. Unlike its predecessor, and almost every sequel that would follow it, The Adventure of Link mainly focused on side-scrolling levels, rather than traditional open-ended exploration. It's best just to shove another half-eaten rainbow trout in this one's mouth and move swiftly along.
One of the high points of the series, even by Zelda's stupidly lofty standards. Returning to the formula established by the original, the game sees Link putting a 16-bit smackdown on Ganon's nefarious plans. Designed, directed and written by Miyamoto himself, it's the title that really put Link's green PJs on the global map.
Originally intended to be a handheld spin-off of A link to the Past, what started as an after hours project for a small band of Nintendo staff quickly grew into a new, bespoke project for Game Boy. The first portable title in the series, it is one of the few Zelda games that isn't set in Hyrule. Hell, it only contains a passing mention of our favourite dainty royalty, too. Instead, the game takes place on Koholint Island. The loss of beloved characters might have stung, but at least Nintendo provided ointment in the form of cameos from Yoshi and Kirby. Oh, and 18 year-old spoiler alert! The whole thing is a dream.
Often heralded as the Greatest Game of All Time TM, Ocarina brought Link and co. screaming into the 3D era. With Hyrule now a stunning open world you could explore on your awesome equine Epona, gamers everywhere were left awestruck by the sheer breadth and ambition of the N64 classic. Honestly, if fighting huge spider beastie Gohma wasn't enough to make your late 90s eye holes weep with excitement, you were clearly deader than deep-fried dodo.
Perhaps the darkest game in the series, the follow up to Ocarina transported Link to the parallel world of Termina. The twisted adventure was basically Nintendo's answer to Groundhog Day. Just replace jokes about Bill Murray offing himself with a 72 hour time loop and a seriously pissed off moon that's going to destroy the world if Link doesn't keep rewinding time. The ability to transform Link into a Deku Shrub, Goron or Zora was just the delicious blocky polygonal icing on the cake.
May Jeebus look down on and bless Nintendo, because it's always willing to try inventive stuff, whether it fully comes off or not. Take these two GBC gems. Essentially damn near identical experiences, the two versions could interact with each other with the use of in-game passwords or the Game Boy Link Cable. At first, the Shigger intended the titles to appear as a brand new trilogy. But this idea was eventually scrapped when the proposed password system that was going to link the titles proved too tricksy.
The GBA version of the SNES classic contained an entirely new multiplayer combining four annoyingly adorable Links. This new mode would go onto inspire the co-op-focused Four Swords Adventures on Gamecube.

Be a boy scout.
The 686 Men's Plasma Pant provides cold weather protection for your entire season. When it gets super-cold you might want to go with your heavier long underwear, and warm spring days are great for free-balling, but the Plasma will be right there every step of the way. The Plasma also boasts tons of pocket space and a huge 20K waterproof rating, so you'll be set all winter.
- Fabric with fully-taped seams prevents seams from leaking
- Brushed poly lining is soft to the touch
- Water-resistant thigh pocket zipper for added protection from the snow
- Polyester mesh lining promotes airflow to help your body regulate temperature

What do you think of the
686 Plexus Plasma Pant - Men's
? Share a...
tailored fit
Unlike 686 Smarty, these Plexus pants are true to size (I wear a large in most pants, including Plexus, but wear a medium in Smarty). Plexus are also tailored (tighter) fit, but not enough to restrict movement. I can still wear my padded shorts underneath the plasma.
The fabric on the plasma is somewhat thin compared to most other brands, but that also helps make them very lightweight (tailored fit removes some fabric weight as well). Upgrading my outerwear from Sessions to 686 has helped me drop several pounds from my equipment.
Plenty of tech features (waterproof, breathability, vents, powder skirt loops, etc) make them worth the price. I love they don't have big flaps on the pockets (I hate it when flaps ice up in powder and I have to chip it off to drive home).
The houndstooth is subtle...too subtle, imo. I like some kind of contrasty print or pattern on all my outerwear and these are closer to just wearing plain grey pants.
These plasma pants go well with plexus shell jackets because wearing a baggy jacket with skinny pants (and vice-versa) looks strange.

Slim Fit Ski Pants
Am a skier. Wanted a slim fit pant with some interesting color. 686 delivered. The Plexus Plasma Pants breathe well but are warm. Mesh vents keep powder out. Tons of pockets. Taped seems are water tight. The green houndstooth (Kelly Heathered) looks sweet.
I'm 6'4" ~200 lbs. Usually wear 33x34 pant size. Size Large fits great.
Highly recommended.
Sweet, Sweet Pants
i had a pair of burton ronins that i didn't really want to part with. they were good pants. comfy and dry. but they were ridiculously wide. i looked like a candy raver from 1997. so i broke down and bought these "tailor" fit pants.
i'm 5'11", 170lbs, i usually wear 34" pants. these fit perfect. big enough to move around freely, small enough to look like pants.
they breathe great, they stayed dry when it hit the mid/upper 40's. quality feels good, good seams, zippers and overall build. perfect pants!
Seem great
These pants seem great, love the kelly green color. Be warned they don't fit the same as the smarty cargo pants. I've got a pair of mediums of the smarty cargos from a couple years ago which are on the baggy side and the medium in these pants are uncomfortably tight on the waist and the legs seem a touch too tight to be functional for any higher stepping while hiking. Just ordered a large, I imagine that'll fit better.
I just got the jacket and I love the materials and make of that, the pants seem to match. Looking forward to trying these out but I'm sure they'll be great.
must have...
ultra-light super water-proof pants...a lil baggier than i thought, but still a GREAT fit. ive had zero issues with these pants and im already 40days deep in the rockies with 'em. throw on some woolies underneath and your set for whatever the cold brings. the houndstooth pattern is super subtle so dont let that deter ya! leaking steeze all ova the mountains...

After a whole day of recording my food intake and workouts, the daily report confirmed a bad habit I and many other Asian-food lovers share.
The daily sodium intake is off the chart. I knew deep inside that I should back off the kimchi, pickled cucumber and the hot and sour soup, but substituting soy sauce for the low sodium soy sauce didn't prevent the inevitable truth: one serving of any Asian food might be enough to meet your sodium daily allowance.
Move to take: stop eating Asian food unless I cook it myself.
My weight always fluctuated over the years. At times I was very angry with myself for gaining in a matter of weeks all the weight I slowly shaved off over months of workout.
Other times I just tell myself, it happens to everyone and that's okay: I will work out and lose it again. But now that I am turning 30 I am worried it might take much more effort and time (.. I guess it was nice to be younger, too bad I never realized it until now..)
Anyhow, here I am ready this time to ... become a healthy grown up. Yes!!! I know .. it took some time to finally merge out of the post teen/young adult phase. But who can blame me (.. beside my parents, of course..) it was such an enjoyable phase.
Today is my first day. I am motivated now, even though I only started because my mom wanted to lose some extra weight and can't really find the motivation on her own. So thank you, mom. Thank you for the push and for trying to stay healthy and be with us for many years, no.. for many decades, to come.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A teenage driver whose truck crashed, killing a 14-year-old passenger, has been indicted on criminal charges in Shelby County.
Christopher Minton is charged with vehicular homicide and aggravated assault, according to The Commercial Appeal, quoting a spokesman for the Shelby County District Attorney's Office.
Minton, who is 19 years old, is free on his own recognizance and it wasn't clear whether he had an attorney.
Rachel Lutrell, who was a freshman at Bolton High School, was killed Nov. 9 when Minton's truck ran off a road and struck a tree in Lakeland.
Minton and two other passengers were injured.
Investigators said Minton's blood-alcohol level was 0.07. While the presumed level of intoxication for adults is 0.08, the level for anyone under 21 is 0.02.

These design ideas will help you transform your family room into a cozy retreat.
Exposed Brick Room
This living room was stripped down to its bare brick walls, and had the original dropped ceiling removed for intense, industrial allure. The rafters remain exposed, and the wooden floor painted a warm shade of white. Furnishings include a dramatic Louis XVI-style daybed, 1920s pedestal table, and linen-upholstered ottoman. The side table is actually a vintage card-catalog file.

Bank of America executives told shareholders Wednesday the accounting mistake that scuttled a long-awaited dividend increase was "disappointing," and they pledged to get to the bottom of what happened.
Shareholders who crowded into the Charlotte Marriott City Center brought plenty of questions about last week's announcement that the Charlotte bank had miscalculated its capital ratios. CEO Brian Moynihan said the bank is working to put the matter behind it.
"I know the capital adjustment we had to make last week was disappointing to you and was disappointing to all of us," said Moynihan, presiding over his fifth annual shareholders' meeting as CEO. "We're working quickly … so we can move forward."
Board Chairman Chad Holliday, two board committee chairmen and the bank's auditing firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, also sought to reassure investors that the mistake didn't suggest larger problems.
Frank Bramble, chairman of the bank's enterprise risk committee, said the bank is "very anxious" to figure out the root cause of the accounting mistake.
"We are on top of this," he said. "We take our oversight responsibility very seriously."
The executives offered no hints on the future of the bank's dividend, which had been set to increase to 5 cents per share, up from the penny per share the bank had paid since the financial crisis. The bank also had planned to buy back $4 billion in common stock.
But on April 28, the bank said that for years it had incorrectly accounted for a type of debt inherited in its 2009 Merrill Lynch acquisition – meaning the bank had over-reported capital levels by about $4 billion. Bank of America is working to come up with a new plan and has until May 27 to submit it to the Federal Reserve.
On Wednesday, Chief Financial Officer Bruce Thompson reiterated that the bank would return less capital through dividends and share buybacks than it had previously announced.
All directors re-elected
At a meeting that also featured a shouting match between two shareholders and about a dozen protesters outdoors who satirically played the role of bankers, the formal business progressed as expected:
• All 15 directors were re-elected despite word from the California State Teachers' Retirement System that it had voted its shares against the election of four Bank of America directors who were on a committee responsible for auditing. The pension fund cited concerns over the capital error. North Carolina's pension system voted against two directors on the committee.
• All four management proposals up for consideration were ratified, including 93 percent approval in an advisory vote on executive compensation. Moynihan was awarded $14 million for his performance in 2013, the bank disclosed earlier.
• None of the four shareholder proposals, which included pushes for more disclosure on lobbying and climate impact, were approved.
Shareholder shouts
Analyst Mike Mayo of investment firm CLSA, grilled executives on exactly when they found out about the capital miscalculation and how it was discovered. Thompson said members of the chief financial officer group found the mistake as they were preparing a quarterly securities filing and informed the board within about 24 hours.
Other speakers focused more on the stalled dividend increase.
"You've cost me close to $12,000 of annual income," shareholder Judy Koenick, who is a regular at the annual meetings, told Moynihan regarding the dividend. "I've had to liquidate a good portion of my assets, which makes it very difficult when two young boys ask me for $600, which I've always provided, so they can play baseball this summer and I have to tell them that I don't have the cash available."
Later a shouting match ensued between Koenick and another shareholder.
It started when Koenick began asking Moynihan to detail the bank's impact on the environment. She asked Moynihan what kind of light bulbs the bank uses.
The question irritated shareholder Peggy McMahon.
"Sit down and shut up," McMahon shouted at Koenick.
McMahon then came to Moynihan's defense: "I love you, Mr. Moynihan."
"You and my mother, that makes two," he joked.
Billions for legal costs
Mayo, the CLSA analyst, also asked chairman Holliday whether the bank is too big and complex to manage. Besides the capital miscalculation, he cited a litany of other recent settlements and setbacks from a rough few weeks for Bank of America.
The bank said last month it lost money in the first quarter after reaching a $9.5 billion settlement with the Federal Housing Finance Agency over mortgage bonds sold to mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. At the same time, the bank surprised some analysts with the news that it set aside an additional $2.4 billion in the quarter for future legal expenses.
Bank of America also continues to work with the U.S. Department of Justice toward a settlement that could reach many billions of dollars.
The payments stem primarily from the hundreds of thousands of bad mortgages inherited from the 2008 deal with subprime lender Countrywide Financial. As Bank of America has dug out from the acquisition, the bank has also laid off tens of thousands of workers to cut costs.
"I still believe, very firmly, this bank is not too big to manage," Holliday said.
Civil rights leader the Rev. Jesse Jackson attended the meeting and asked whether any of the billions the bank is spending on settlements is going to rebuild communities hard-hit by foreclosure.
Jobs moving to U.S.
Later, Moynihan was addressed by a 13-year-old girl who said her father lost his job as a project manager with Bank of America after supervisors told him they could fill his position with someone in another country who would be paid less.
Moynihan said reducing staff is "one of the toughest things I have to do" and that the bank is moving jobs to the U.S. from other nations.
In another part of the meeting, he touted the bank's $10.1 billion in profit last year and stressed how much the stock price has risen since 2011 – about 160 percent. Shares closed Wednesday at $14.80, up less than 1 percent.
"The earnings power of the company comes through more and more each year as we put more legacy issues behind us," Moynihan said.
"Good progress is being made," he said later. "We're working hard to bring this company to the core of what we do for customers and clients." Staff writers Rick Rothacker and Ely Portillo contributed.

Kimbra is gearing up for the release of her second album, and the songs we've heard so far have run the gamut from the gloriously weird "90s Music" to the funky "Love In High Places" and slinky "Nobody But You." The latest is "Miracle," and the song sees the New Zealander experimenting with yet another new sound, this time going for a soulful disco vibe. With a song like this up her sleeve, it's no wonder she was once enlisted to tour with Janelle Monáe Down Under. Listen below.

Hungry Moose Games And Green Throttle Games Unwrap New Puzzle IP
SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hungry Moose Games together with Green Throttle Games is proud to announce the development of its first internally produced title, 9 Lives: Casey & Sphynx. The game follows the exploits of a misfit couple: Casey the security guard and Sphynx the stray cat with an attitude who risk their 9 lives on an archeological adventure. 9 Lives: Casey & Sphynx is a puzzle-based action adventure game for Android with particular focus on Green Throttle's new Atlas controller.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130409/SF89968)
Based in a local museum showcasing the ancient Egyptian tomb of Bastet, you can play on your own or with a friend on the same screen and navigate the misfit duo through a maze of action-packed puzzles where death is sometimes the only option. Collect pieces of the idol of Bastet, which Casey smashed to reverse the age old curse and return the world to normal.
"Hungry Moose Games is a new studio based in Edmonton, Canada put together by ex BioWare veterans and the young guns of games," said Ric Williams, co-founder of Hungry Moose Games. "We are excited to develop our first title with Green Throttle. The challenge of making a game using the latest in hardware technologies that connect your Android device to a TV fits 9 Lives like a glove and we think gamers will love our misfit characters and device specific game play.""We think the Hungry Moose team came up with a really fun concept for a game that will nicely take advantage of the Green Throttle experience," said Charles Huang, CEO of Green Throttle. "Playing local multiplayer on an Android tablet or through the TV will make you connect with Casey and Sphynx in a totally different way. We can't wait to see this one launch."

This fourth cat was a lot of fun to stitch in all of its red and orange glory. But I am falling behind a bit on my daily quota of border stitching. I'll have to put in a few days working on the outer grey border at the top of the design before treating myself to stitching the wild Rousseau-like flora at the bottom of the design. I find this design to be very derivative: the Van Gogh like stars, the Rousseau like flowers and leaves ... I am reminded of high school art appreciation classes. That doesn't take away from my enjoyment of the piece. Quite the contrary, while in college I used to make it a habit to drop by the Metropolitan to view Van Gogh's Starry Night at least once a month. I would sit and gaze at it for a half an hour or so before moving on to my other favorites, like Max Ernst's The Geranium at MOMA or the gorgeous tapestries at The Cloisters. Rousseau was another of my favorites. Both the cats and the plants in this piece are strongly reminiscent of a Rousseau painting. I used to buy postcard sized reproductions of his work and use them for bookmarks. Indeed, I think it was memory's afterimages of favorite paintings that attracted me to this design in the first place. Forty years after I graduated from college and left my native NYC, my tastes are still pretty much the same. Paintings and statues and ballets and music that were my favorites in my college years remain so today. Either my personal aesthetic developed early or I am a case of arrested development. I prefer to believe the former theory is true.

Target: Data breach caught up to 70M customersJanuary 10, 2014 @ 5:43 am (Updated: 2:40 pm - 1/10/14 )
NEW YORK (AP) - Target says that personal information _ including phone numbers and email and mailing addresses _ was stolen from as many as 70 million customers in its pre-Christmas data breach. That was substantially more customers than Target had previously said were affected.
The chain also cut its fourth-quarter adjusted earnings forecast and outlook for a key sales barometer.
Target had announced in December that about 40 million credit and debit cards may have been affected by a data breach that happened between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15 _ just as the holiday shopping season was getting into gear.
The retailer said Friday that the personal information stolen is not a new breach, but was discovered during its ongoing investigation.
Target Corp.'s stock fell in Friday premarket trading.
