Italy: No missing Hungarian on cruise ship
Italy says Hungarian authorities have dismissed as "groundless" a report that an unregistered Hungarian woman was aboard the Costa Concordia cruise ship when it capsized.
Italy's Civil Protection Department released a statement Monday from the Hungarian embassy in Rome saying that information obtained by Hungarian authorities has led them "to unequivocally conclude that the indication regarding a missing Hungarian woman is groundless."
The statement said the person calling in the report gave a false name of someone who had died three years ago. Fifteen bodies have been found since the ship capsized Jan 13 after hitting a reef off the Tuscan island of Giglio and 17 people are still missing.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
ROME (AP) - Salvage experts can begin pumping fuel from a capsized cruise ship as early as Tuesday to avert a possible environmental catastrophe and the ship is stable enough that search efforts for the missing can continue, Italian officials said.
The decision to carry out both operations in tandem was made after instrument readings determined that the Costa Concordia was not at risk of sliding into deeper waters, Franco Gabrielli, chief of the national civil protection agency, told reporters Monday on the island of Giglio.
"The ship is stable. ... There is no problem or danger that it is about to drop onto much lower seabed," Gabrielli said.
The Concordia rammed a reef Jan. 13 on the tiny Tuscan island and capsized a few hours later just outside Giglio's port as it carried 4,200 passengers and crew on a Mediterranean cruise.
Taking advantage of calm seas, divers on Monday found the bodies of two women near the ship's Internet cafe, raising to 15 the number of confirmed dead.
There are 17 people still unaccounted for, but Gabrielli has said an unregistered Hungarian woman might have been aboard ship. The woman's relatives have told Italian authorities they haven't heard from her since she called them to say she was aboard the ship.
The ship's Italian captain, Francesco Schettino is under house arrest near Naples as prosecutor's investigate him for suspected manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning his vessel while some passengers and crew were still aboard. He has insisted that he was coordinating rescue operations from a lifeboat and then from shore.
Costa Crociere SpA has distanced itself from the captain, contending that he made an unauthorized deviation from the programmed route. Schettino has reportedly told investigators that Costa officials had requested that he sail close to Giglio in a publicity move.
Schettino's lawyer, Bruno Leporatti, told reporters Monday that tests on urine and hair samples found that his client had not been under the influence of alcohol or drugs before the crash. Prosecutors could not confirm the report, since they cannot speak about the investigation while it is still under way.
Despite earlier fears, officials said the crippled cruise ship, with a 70-meter (230-foot) long gash in its hull, is not expected to roll off its rocky seabed perch and be completely swallowed by the sea.
An Italian geologist, on Giglio to monitor the Concordia, told Sky TG24 Monday the ship was barely moving.
"It is moving at the rate of about one or two millimeters an hour," said Nicola Casagli, adding the ship has moved up to 3mm an hour when tides come in or out. "The ship responds to the tides."
The sea has been calm for several days but he said waves were expected to grow larger in the next few days.

I have noticed a lot of you have dogs, and I really need help, advice, or something here. And how do you make it work with your dog(s), time/attention-wise?
Our dog is not adapting well to the addition of LO. She has a somewhat nervous, high-strung temperment to start with (I have learned a lot about remaining calm since we've had her) and it has always been the case that I am home all day with her, just us. Now with an increasingly mobile and noisy baby added, and less attention and exercise for her, things have gone downhill fast.
In general she is nervous around LO, and either avoids him by asking to go outside for most of the day, or anxiously follows him around trying to lick him all over, I believe attempting to appease him? I suppose to get him to behave like a normal calm boring adult. This obviously doesn't work. She has occasionally, like twice or possibly three times, growled at him as he gets near her, and we nip that in the bud and do not let them interact without one of us in the room.
She was fairly indifferent to him at first, curious about the weird new thing but not too fussed. It's been since he's become mobile that it's been worrying. We've recently had to put up the gates at top and bottom of the stairs, which restricts the dog's movements as well, and she's been very unhappy since then.
She has baby-free space in the kitchen, which is always available to her, and she can ask to go outside or upstairs, but for the most part when she's inside she behaves with him as she does with the vacuum cleaner... nervously keeping it in view but just out of range of her. This stresses me out, which stresses her out, so she tries to go upstairs and (re)discovers herself restricted, which stresses her out more, so she asks to go outside... and then gets bored out there and barks like mad at anything. Which I can't stand. We are in a very bad cycle here.
Besides the baby, we absolutely do not walk her enough, and we don't pay nearly as much attention to her anymore. So obviously we have to start there to figure out how much of this is just her being stressed out in general.
The problem here is that DH has completely dropped the rope with her. He keeps saying he'll walk her but never, ever does... even when I was on restriction and then recovering from emergency CS for a solid five months of completely unable to walk the dog. My mom and MIL would come over every once in a while and walk her, and we would send her to daycare once a week, but I know that's not enough. I think he means it this time, and he said I ought to nag him about it if he's not doing it, but at the same time he's about to be gone for two weeks which is just not helpful. Leaving me with this situation.
And I am stressed out and pretty well exhausted lately, from more than a month now of sleep regression + growth spurt + teething, and LO's naps are only somewhat predictable, and then there's the random screaming in pain... not to mention it's not f-ing easy to walk an energetic, excited 55lb dog with one hand while pushing a stroller with the other. And I don't yet have the strength to wear LO for an entire walk built back up yet.
Ok, vent over... But what do I do? Suck it up and... something? I could walk her more than I do, and I need to, but every day isn't going to happen. Beat DH over the head? He's suggested trying to rehome her, in the spirit of not waiting till we've turned her into a complete nervous wreck... On the one hand I (we) made a committment to her and failing my committments is a huge thing for me... on the other if we really can't provide her a home she's happy in we should find her somewhere better as soon as possible. But we have to try first!
Does anyone know of any resources or information, or have good advice about dogs and babies? Have you had a dog that seemed very stressed out by a new baby but recovered, and how/why? Is this even something I should expect to be improved by fixing other areas of her life, or is being stressed out by babies/young children a sort of... permanent thing? My five year old niece stayed here for a few days before I was pregnant and our dog was also nervous and wary around her, but she is very high energy. Not many other young children in our lives so I have no other evidence one way or another there.
I'm kind of at the end of my rope here, which is unfortunate as I don't have that luxury anymore... it's better at the beginning of the week as DH usually at least takes a morning feeding on the weekend and lets me sleep in. This weekend he took a whole night and I finally got a full night sleep. So I can at least approach this from a problem solving perspective right now. So lay it on, I can probably take criticism fairly well too. I am, at least, already clear on the fact that I'm failing my dog.
Sorry for the novel, and I am going to bed while I have the chance, so I'll be back in the morning.

text: Posted 27 Aug 2010 I think that has yet to be seen. Coming to an absolute statement like that after two preseason games is beyond kneejerk. Everyone assumed our defense would be terrible, I mean awful, the worst in the league, everyone running for 300yds/game on us. But after two preseason games we look like studs. Odds are still about even that our defense will suck in the regular season compared to our offense sucking. I'm not talking about our performance on offense. I'm talking about our personnel at WR and Special Teams. Do I expect to see better play in the regular season from the WRs we have and Special Teams players than what we've seen in the pre-season? Yeah. Absolutely. We're missing some key players. But that doesn't mean we have depth at the WR position, nor does it mean we've shored up our Special Teams to be a play-off contending unit. The Front Office didn't get it done back in February-April/May and that's not knee-jerk, that's hind-sight. (As in, we made NO free agency acquisitions for quality players for these needs).

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

I have historically had difficulty communicating my questions to public officials so that they are properly comprehended. However, after reading Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt's response to citizen questions in the April 7 Columbian story "Columbian Live Chat: Mayor tackles transportation topics," I think I now understand why I have not been effective.
Leavitt stated that there are "many reasons to support the LRT over busses, as exhaustively studied in the FEIS and DEIS or the NEPA process for the CRC."
My question for the mayor in response to his response: "Did the FEIS or DEIS consider the NPV or IRR of the CRC's LRT, expressed in either M1 or M2, and will the CRC's COC have sufficient M1 CF with the LRT option in place, given the life cycle of the CRC? I look forward to your response.

Article: Authors' Reply to comments on 'Sample size calculation for the proportional hazards cure model'
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The Cox proportional hazards (PH) model with time-dependent covariates (referred to as the extended PH model) has been widely used in medical and health related studies to investigate the effects of time-varying risk factors on survival. Theories and practices regarding model estimation and fitting have been well developed for the extended PH model. However, little has been done regarding sample size calculations in survival studies involving a time-varying risk factor. A novel sample size formula based on the extended PH model is proposed by investigating the asymptotic distributions of the weighted log-rank statistics under the null and local alternative hypotheses. The derived sample size formula is an extension of the sample size formula for the standard Cox PH model. The performance of the proposed formula is evaluated by extensive simulations, and examples based on real data are given to illustrate the applications of the proposed methods.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Due to advances in medical research, more and more diseases can be cured nowadays, which largely increases the need for an easy-to-use software in calculating sample size of clinical trials with cure fractions. Current available sample size software, such as PROC POWER in SAS, Survival Analysis module in PASS, powerSurvEpi package in R are all based on the standard proportional hazards (PH) model which is not appropriate to design a clinical trial with cure fractions. Instead of the standard PH model, the PH mixture cure model is an important tool in handling the survival data with possible cure fractions. However, there are no tools available that can help design a trial with cure fractions. Therefore, we develop an R package NPHMC to determine the sample size needed for such study design.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: In clinical trials with time-to-event endpoints, it is not uncommon to see a significant proportion of patients being cured (or long-term survivors), such as trials for the non-Hodgkins lymphoma disease. The popularly used sample size formula derived under the proportional hazards (PH) model may not be proper to design a survival trial with a cure fraction, because the PH model assumption may be violated. To account for a cure fraction, the PH cure model is widely used in practice, where a PH model is used for survival times of uncured patients and a logistic distribution is used for the probability of patients being cured. In this paper, we develop a sample size formula on the basis of the PH cure model by investigating the asymptotic distributions of the standard weighted log-rank statistics under the null and local alternative hypotheses. The derived sample size formula under the PH cure model is more flexible because it can be used to test the differences in the short-term survival and/or cure fraction. Furthermore, we also investigate as numerical examples the impacts of accrual methods and durations of accrual and follow-up periods on sample size calculation. The results show that ignoring the cure rate in sample size calculation can lead to either underpowered or overpowered studies. We evaluate the performance of the proposed formula by simulation studies and provide an example to illustrate its application with the use of data from a melanoma trial.

Article: A Bayesian normal mixture accelerated failure time spatial model and its application to prostate cancer[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: In the United States, prostate cancer is the third most common cause of death from cancer in males of all ages, and the most common cause of death from cancer in males over age 75. It has been recognized that the incidence of the prostate cancer is high in African Americans, and its occurrence and progression may be impacted by geographical factors. In order to investigate the spatial effects and racial disparities for prostate cancer in Louisiana, in this article we propose a normal mixture accelerated failure time spatial model, which does not require the proportional hazards assumption and allows the multi-model distribution to be modeled. The proposed model is estimated with a Bayesian approach and it can be easily implemented in WinBUGS. Extensive simulations show that the proposed model provides decent flexibility for a variety of parametric error distributions. The proposed method is applied to 2000-2007 Louisiana prostate cancer data set from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program. The results reveal the possible spatial pattern and racial disparities for prostate cancer in Louisiana.
Article: Meta-Analysis of Comparison of Effectiveness of Lowering Apolipoprotein B Versus Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Nonhigh-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol for Cardiovascular Risk Reduction in Randomized Trials[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the relation between apolipoprotein B (apoB) decrease and coronary heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular disease risk. Bayesian random-effects meta-analysis was used to evaluate the association of mean absolute apoB decrease (milligrams per deciliter) with relative risk of coronary heart disease (nonfatal myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease death), stroke (nonfatal stroke and fatal stroke), or cardiovascular disease (coronary heart disease, stroke, and coronary revascularization). Analysis included 25 trials (n = 131,134): 12 on statin, 4 on fibrate, 5 on niacin, 2 on simvastatin-ezetimibe, 1 on ileal bypass surgery, and 1 on aggressive versus standard low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and blood pressure targets. Combining the 25 trials, each 10-mg/dl decrease in apoB was associated with a 9% decrease in coronary heart disease, no decrease in stroke, and a 6% decrease in major cardiovascular disease risk. Non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol decrease modestly outperformed apoB decrease for prediction of coronary heart disease (Bayes factor [BF] 1.45) and cardiovascular disease (BF 2.07) risk decrease; apoB decrease added to non-HDL cholesterol plus LDL cholesterol decrease slightly improved cardiovascular disease risk prediction (1.13) but did not improve coronary heart disease risk prediction (BF 1.03) and worsened stroke risk prediction (BF 0.83). In the 12 statin trials, apoB and non-HDL cholesterol decreases similarly predicted cardiovascular disease risk; apoB improved coronary heart disease prediction when added to non-HDL cholesterol/LDL cholesterol decrease (BF 3.33) but did not improve stroke risk prediction when added to non-HDL cholesterol/LDL cholesterol decrease (BF 1.06). In conclusion, across all drug classes, apoB decreases did not consistently improve risk prediction over LDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol decreases. For statins, apoB decreases added information to LDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol decreases for predicting coronary heart disease but not stroke or overall cardiovascular disease risk decrease.
Article: Meta-Analysis of the Relationship Between Non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Reduction and Coronary Heart Disease Risk[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To determine the relationship between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) lowering and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk reduction for various lipid-modifying therapies. Non-HDL-C is the second lipid target of therapy after low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Randomized placebo or active-controlled trials were evaluated. The effect of mean non-HDL-C reduction on the relative risk of nonfatal myocardial infarction and CHD death was estimated using Bayesian random-effects meta-analysis models adjusted for study duration. Cochrane's Q was used to test for heterogeneity. Inclusion criteria were met by 14 statin (n = 100,827), 7 fibrate (n = 21,647), and 6 niacin (n = 4,445) trials, and 1 trial each of a bile acid sequestrant (n = 3,806), diet (n = 458), and ileal bypass surgery (n = 838). For statins, each 1% decrease in non-HDL-C resulted in an estimated 4.5-year CHD relative risk of 0.99 (95% Bayesian confidence interval: 0.98 to 1.00). The fibrate model did not differ from the statin model (Bayes factor K = 0.49) with no evidence of heterogeneity. The niacin model was moderately different from the statin model (K = 7.43), with heterogeneity among the trials (Q = 11.8, 5 df; p = 0.038). The only niacin monotherapy trial (n = 3,908) had a 1:1 relationship between non-HDL-C and risk reduction. No consistent relationships were apparent for the 5 small trials of niacin in combination. The 95% confidence intervals for the single trials of diet, bile acid sequestrants, and surgery also included the 1:1 relationship. Non-HDL-C is an important target of therapy for CHD prevention. Most lipid-modifying drugs used as monotherapy have an approximately 1:1 relationship between percent non-HDL-C lowering and CHD reduction.

"He was dangerous to the government. If he had said, 'Bomb the White House tomorrow,' there would have been 10,000 people who would have done it."
Those words from Sean Lennon, son of slain Beatle John Lennon, describe how he viewed the influence his father had on fans. While I might disagree with the number, Sean Lennon is making an important point. Words matter—especially when spoken by someone adored by the masses.
It's hard to believe, but there are still people who insist that the media does not affect attitude, behavior and/or culture. Even some people in the media themselves.
About a year ago, Quentin Tarantino said he was tired of folks linking his violent films to actual violence, saying, "I just think, you know, there's violence in the world, tragedies happen, blame the playmakers … give me a break."
Of course, when people like Tarantino discount media's influence, they're strictly referring to the "subversive" aspects. They'd gratefully accept credit if their "art" had made a positive difference in the world. I like the way Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak once explained how illogical this way of thinking really is:
Television people have put blinders on and they absolutely refuse—and movie people too—to admit that they can have any influence for ill in our society. And you know the argument. It's, "We only reflect what's going on, we don't perpetuate it." And yet not a week goes by in this town where there's not an award ceremony where they're patting each other on the back saying, you know, "You raised AIDS awareness, there'll be no more child abuse thanks to this fine show you did." The argument is you can only influence for good, you can't influence for ill. That makes no sense at all.
In my opening paragraph I wrote, Words matter. I could have written, A single word matters. With the Super Bowl airing this Sunday, I find it interesting that the city of Omaha is hoping that Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will continue to hike the ball with his oft-used exclamation, "Omaha!" An article I read said Manning's use of the word has "provided some unexpected publicity for the city of 427,000" and then added this tweet from the Greater Omaha Convention and Visitors Bureau: "We certainly appreciate all the love from Peyton Manning."
But the comment I liked the best was this one from Doug Parrot, a vice president for a Nebraska-based PR firm, who claimed before the AFC Championship Game (pitting the Broncos against the New England Patriots), "Everybody in Omaha needs to root for Peyton to take down Tom Brady and the Patriots so we can hear 'Omaha' in the Super Bowl." The article mentioned that a mere 30 seconds of Super Bowl advertising this year is going for a whopping $4 million. But Manning's exclamations of "Omaha" were absolutely free and getting a lot of folks to focus on this flyover state. And, of course, the fact that companies are willing to pay $4 million for these ads in the first place suggests that words—words in commercials—matter a whole lot.
My hope is that you the reader will never fall for the oft-repeated lie that entertainment only reflects society; it doesn't influence it. Entertainment certainly can reflect society. But it also changes it. If I didn't believe words could influence, I wouldn't be writing this right now. I wouldn't get on the radio each week with the Plugged In Movie Review. I wouldn't go on TV with the video version either.
No, I believe, as most people believe (when they're being honest) that words have the power to motivate us, inspire us, encourage us, train us, hurt us, demean us, and yes, change our attitudes and behaviors. And sometimes they can get us to plan—for some unexplainable reason—a trip to Omaha.

Well, I am fairly new to cycling. I have been working on and riding bikes for only a few months now, aside from when I was a kid. I have a few questions, that perhaps some of you can help me with.
1. When I was younger I rode a Schwinn World Tour, and that was a great bike, but nothing I have seen in stores seems like it. It had road style handlebars, and a full rear rack, with fold out baskets, and stem friction shifters. I went to the closest bike store, and found that not only was this sort of equipment not for sale, but the cheapest road bike was nearly $1000! is this normal?
I got a frame (unknown make, it doesn't have any sort of writing on it), I put an old Shimano SIS rear derailleur, and a Shimano Tourney front derailleur, a "Prowheel" 28-38-48 crank, and a no name 6 speed cassette, It had these terrible Truativ shifters, but, I put some Falcon stem shifters (friction) on it and some other more cosmetic parts (i.e. Schwinn wide seat, Schwinn speedometer, Schwinn lights, a rear rack, spring loaded kickstand, etc).
2. Is it at all normal to be riding a mutt such as I described above?
3. I am completely confused why is everyone so concerned about weight? I was always taught a heavy frame was more durable, and that momentum carried you up hills. Is everyone involved in racing or something?

Tips for Recording Yourself
- Not sure how to record an MP3 file? If you have a smartphone, it's probably easiest to use it.
- For iPhone users, there's a recording feature on the phone called "Voice Memos," typically hiding in your utilities. (The icon for it in iOS 7 looks like a digital audio wave.) After launching the app, you'll see a red button. Hit it to start recording. When you're done, click "done." Enter a name for your new voice memo and press OK. Now click on the recording and hit the send icon on the bottom left to email it to email@example.com. (If you have iOS 6, you can follow this tutorial.)
- Android users, check out this app. (It's free.)
If you don't have a smartphone, fear not! You can use the microphone on your computer to record yourself singing. Then put the recording in an email and send it to firstname.lastname@example.com.

My apologies for the short review, but at least it's quick
I've always loved the secret meetings
"There's nothing good in the water here," he said. "I've gotten five of these already."
Ah, the joy of catching Magikarp after Magikarp
Uh… it's pretty hard, actually. I don't know how to do it, but I've heard about it from people, and they say it's pretty complicated.
Suppose these are the days before TM's then. Looks like Move Tutors definitely had a more important role back in the day, but now it's got me wondering when TMs were developed and who came up with the idea.
Route 209 and Solaceon here are interesting because my mystery contest fic has that car chase scene that goes right through that general area. Biggest change would be that there is a paved road through 209 in mine, and I don't think my Solaceon is that big... it was just a place that was passed by... by criminals and a whole crew of cops doing close to 100, lol
Beware flocks of really ticked off bird Pokemon xD But now comes the million dollar question... should I have Lisa catch a Chatot and teach it 80's songs? I think it would be interesting if she still journeyed, but now that she's doing special agent stuff, I don't think a singing Chatot would fit in well during car chases xD
"Ringo! Alker! Boss!"
It's on now
Next chapter is more Lona-style training, I presume? Hopefully either (a) Michael gets another judge, or (b) he uses Ringo to put her in her place. However it plays out, I'm hoping that Michael's second day of training there is better than the disaster that was the first. And the evil sadistic side of me wants to see how Henry will handle the pressure of having Lona breathe down his neck, lol
And am I the only one who wants to see another character named Walker, this one employed as a Texas Ranger, to take Lona to school, so to speak?

Pop up advertisements are of three distinct classifications in particular pop-ups made by spyware and adware, messenger service ad and browser pop-ups. Pop-up advertisements often show up on the screen. The client can without much of a stretch maintain a strategic distance from these notices by introducing a pop-up blocker.
These sorts of pop-ups are pertinent just for Windows XP and Windows 2000. They for the most part happen in light of the fact that somebody is available to your PC organize and is can transmit this message to your PC through TCP and UDP ports. It is the obligation of the courier administration to transmit these messages. For controlling these pop-ups, the security must be solidified by introducing firewall programming like zone alert or by introducing Windows XP which puts off delivery person administration as a matter of course and enacts the windows firewall. The port which encourages the transmission of these messages gets blocked. You can get detail information about ad blockers or pop-up blockers via http://www.reviveads.com/.
For enacting firewall in Windows XP, click the Begin symbol on the desktop, press Run and sort the word Firewall.cpl, select the on catch lick alright. It is prescribed not to interface with the web before enacting the Firewall in light of the fact that there is a danger of PC getting tainted.

4. Illegal Alien
One thing that Man of Steel treated much differently than previous Superman movies was the character's status as an alien. Back when Superman was created in 1938, aliens were hardly party of the mainstream zeitgeist; however, in our sci-fi saturated modern society, the question of alien encounter is more "when" than "if." In that context, Man of Steel had to treat the revelation of an extraterrestrial superpowered being from a more cynical modern perspective. But a world where Superman isn't automatically established as a globally-accepted do-gooder deity could be interesting for Dawn of Justice.
In the famous graphic novel Kingdom Come, we saw a vision of the near future where concerns about out of control metahumans force Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor into an uneasy alliance in the name of defending humanity. That same idea could (and likely will) trickle down to Batman V Superman, if Superman's handling of Zod has made him as feared and hated as he is loved.
Indeed "The Alien" nature of Superman could provide some great narrative thrust, if the story involves Batman's views on "humanity," and his ultimate pivot from the side of Lex to the side of Kal-El. (Side note: that would also be a pretty meta way to hopefully pull a lot of skeptical fans to the side of this new DC Universe.)

Broker's will pay a fee so they can get (loan) out shares (to shorts)... I can't believe the SEC allows that... But they do...There just isn't enough shares of SKUL out there to cover the short position so Brokers are willing to pay up to get shares to cover their clients short positions.Unbelievable!!!

Additional Information
Important InformationSoro Yiriwaso is a microfinance institution that works primarily in rural and semi-urban areas of Mali to provide underprivileged communities with access to financial services.The organization facilitates access for disadvantaged clients, particularly women, to new resources and services, fostering solidarity and cooperation among its clients. Kiva lenders' funds will enable Soro Yiriwaso to expand its outreach and target even more underserved Malians involved in business and agriculture.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

-mods, please move this thread if this is the incorrect forum. I figured it would be easiest to find answers here, rather than the Vintage, or Folding forums.-
I have desperately been trying to find out what these bikes are. Make / model / years. I've searched everywhere. I am assuming these are vintage bikes from Japan. The camouflage one looks custom. I have Googled the other Pepsi bike and came up with nothing. I know that a company called Palmino repops a similar bike that they call "dog bicycle," but the frame is totally different. I would really appreciate any useful info to try and track one of these down in the States.

You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold
Whoh, whoh, whoh
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

KPMG Industry Updates - Issue 2, April 2012
Overcapacity in the auto industry is not an issue across the board. Rather, it is a structural issue with "over" inefficient capacity and "under" efficient capacity. To ease the problem, there needs an industry consolidation by eliminating inefficient capacities. Moreover, carmakers need to enhance capabilities in strategic positioning, brand management, core technologies, product planning, operational management and human resource development.

LONDON, Oct 24 (Reuters) - German Bund futures held on tothe previous day's gains on Thursday before euro zonemanufacturing surveys that are expected to show the tentativerecovery in the region's economies remains on track.
The euro zone data follows flash Markit/HSBC PurchasingManagers Index (PMI) numbers for China, the world's secondbiggest economy, which rose to a seven-month high in September.
German flash manufacturing PMI at 0728 GMT is expected torise to 51.5 in October from 51.1 in the previous month. Theeuro zone's PMI numbers, due at 0758 GMT, are seen up at 51.4this month from 51.1.
Bund futures were 5 ticks lower at 140.81, stayingwithin sight of a three-week high of 140.91 hit on Wednesday inthe wake of weak U.S. payrolls numbers which bolsteredexpectations the Federal Reserve will maintain its stimulus intonext year.
"If the PMIs come in stronger you'll see a moderate selloffbut we think the U.S. picture is going to underpin fixed incomeeven in Europe so there's limited downside for Bunds," a tradersaid.
German 10-year yields were flat on the day at 1.77 percent and some strategists said they could move lowerespecially if the PMIs miss forecasts or U.S. data worsens.
Other euro zone bonds also held steady.

It's Babies Before Baseball
Mets left fielder Jason Bay returned to the team Thursday after missing two games for a reason that, in an earlier generation of baseball, would have been inexcusable: His wife had a baby.
Bay's wife, Kristen, gave birth Wednesday night to the couple's third child, Garrett David, and under Major League Baseball's paternity leave policy, he was allowed to be with his family without costing the Mets a roster spot. (Lucas Duda had replaced Bay on the roster.)
MLB instituted the policy this season after general managers had raised the issue at their annual off-season meetings. An MLB spokesman said. the GMs believed players felt guilty about having to choose whether to accompany their wives or leave their teams shorthanded. After quickly reaching an agreement with the players association, MLB made the policy adjustment.
It was a departure from the macho, unwritten rule that once the regular season began, a player didn't abandon his teammates for any personal matter.
"Nobody left," said Mets manager Terry Collins, who got his first major-league coaching job with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1992 after managing in the minors for 11 years.
Mets broadcaster Ron Darling, a major-league pitcher for 13 years, said he and his ex-wife made sure she was induced on an off-day to make sure he wouldn't be away from his team too long. "And I only pitched every five days," Darling said.
Bay hustled to Citi Field Thursday morning and went 1-for-3 and scored a run in the Mets' 5-2 victory over the Giants.

Perpignan Festival of Photojournalism To Be Dominated By Syria
by Rukmani Krishna on August 29, 2012 at 11:30 PM Lifestyle News - G J E 4
The dominant theme of the 24th Festival of Photojournalism will be the conflict in Syria and its daily stream of violence.
Organisers have honoured the memory of Remi Ochlik, the French photo-journalist who was killed on assignment in Syria in February, by naming an annual prize awarded to a young journalist in his memory.
AdvertisementThis year, the City of Perpignan Remi Ochlik award will be given to Brazil-based Spanish photographer Sebastian Liste for his work on the inhabitants of an abandoned chocolate factory in Salvador de Bahia.
This year's prize to a female photojournalist is to be awarded to France's Sarah Caron for a project on Pashtun women in Pakistan, which will be displayed at next year's festival.
This year's edition includes several retrospectives: 20 years since the start of the war in Bosnia, a history of Syria from 1920 to the present day, 50 years of Algerian independence and the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.
AFP will have two collections on display: one by Pulitzer prize winning Afghan photographer Massoud Hossaini and one on the impact of the financial crisis on the Greek people featuring the work of Louisa Gouliamaki, Angelos Tzortzinis and Aris Messinis.

Health officials say skin tests show that a total of 12 out of 318 people had been exposed to TB at some point in their lives.
This means they do not have active tuberculosis or are at risk of spreading the disease.
The South Health District began screening jail inmates and staff for TB in August and October, after a prisoner who passed through the jail tested positive for tuberculosis.
Though routinely, after a prisoner is housed at the Lowndes County jail for two weeks, the prison automatically tests that person for tuberculosis.
Officials say no one at the jail has active TB that could spread to other prisoners and staff members.

Candy Crush Saga, the tile-matching clone of the classic game Bejeweled, is the most popular "free" game on Android and iOS. As a hardcore mobile gamer, I'm here to tell you there are far better alternatives to Candy Crush with deeper gameplay, better graphics, and, in a few cases, actual game narratives.
Even though it may not seem like it to me, smartphones are not actually a necessity of life. Shocker, right? I love the suckers! To see if my affinity for all things "smart" was shared by my peers, I conducted a highly scientific survey of whichever of my Facebook friends chose to respond, asking them whether they owned a smartphone and if not, why? A surprising (to me) number of them confessed they did not own a smartphone.
Inspired by a recent computer training-on-demand session I instructed, here is a list of my favorite keyboard shortcuts. A mouse and keyboard are a powerful combination, but with the proper keyboard shortcuts you can be a far more time-efficient user.
I'm sure by now you're all-too-familiar with the annual mobile device product line refresh. Every fall we get updated versions of the now ubiquitous mobile devices. Apple, Amazon, Google, and others all push out slightly updated hardware just in time for the holiday shopping season. This year's upgrades are almost all incremental. If you already own a 2012 device, you should feel comfortable hanging on to it. Users looking to upgrade from models that are two or more years old or shoppers new to mobile devices have good reason to be excited.
Updated November 15, 2013: Your old computer is capable of one more major feat: helping to cure diseases.
In preparation for my soon-to-be-released 2013 device guide, I thought it might be a good time to explain the different versions of Android, the mobile operating system that powers the majority of the devices that I will be writing about. I've written a lot about Android in the last two years, but I've almost always assumed a certain level of knowledge on the reader's part - knowledge that you may in fact lack.
When library customers ask me to show them how to use their laptops, I can't help but notice all the junk they've got that's slowing their computers way down. Some of this is manufacturer-loaded software, but the lion's share of it is from Web sites they've browsed to which inform them they need a particular program or plug-in to run correctly. This is something I addressed at length in my post on Avoiding Sneakware.
About a year-and-a-half ago, I wrote a blog post entitled "Common Computer Myths" that sought to debunk some of the misinformation I hear frequently regarding computers. Well, I'm always running into new techno-falsehoods, so for your consideration: "Even More Common Computer and Tech Myths" and their realities!

The University of Alabama football team worked out for just over an hour in helmets in shorts as the team wrapped up game-week preparation for Saturday's SEC showdown against Mississippi State.
Head coach Mike Shula was pleased with the effort and continued to preach about the team's focus.
"We had a good practice today," said Shula. "We tried to talk to our guys earlier in the week, we've got to make sure we stay on top of our assignments, don't take anything for granted."
He also commented that he felt the game would come down to whichever team does the little things right, from avoiding penalties, to protecting the football to maintaining good field position.
The team battled crowd noise to work on the communication with the offense.
The captains for the game will be Freddie Roach (defense), Kenneth Darby (offense) and Terrence Jones (special teams).
Kickoff on Saturday in Starkville is scheduled for 2:34 p.m. CT with the game being televised nationally on CBS.

Hoping to discourage back-of-the-van pizza peddlers from luring school kids with their greasy but delicious wares, the Seattle City Council...
Hoping to discourage back-of-the-van pizza peddlers from luring school kids with their greasy but delicious wares, the Seattle City Council yesterday voted to ban mobile vendors within 1,000 feet of public schools.
Though council members cited concerns about childhood obesity, the action came at the request of the union representing school-cafeteria workers, whose pay and benefits are linked to the number of meals served each day.
The ordinance, approved 7-0, and supported by five School Board members, expands the no-vending zone around schools from the current 200 feet.
"At a minimum, they'll have to walk some of the calories off," said Councilman Richard Conlin.

Most Read Stories
The prohibition is largely symbolic since vendors who operate around schools often don't have the required city permits and could be cited under current ordinances, said David Westberg, business manager for Operating Engineers Local 609, which represents 300 school-cafeteria workers.
But Westberg said city officials have failed to cite some of the vendors despite repeated complaints. "If one of them ever actually got fined, I believe this activity would stop," he said.
Vendors selling pizza and other meals out of vans or trucks have been most prevalent around schools in South Seattle, including Franklin and Cleveland high schools, Westberg said. A pizza vendor who has been the subject of numerous complaints was spotted again yesterday near Cleveland High School, he said.
To adhere to new health-conscious guidelines, Seattle schools now serve leaner foods and have eliminated sugary and caffeinated drinks. The change has led some kids to leave campus in pursuit of the fat and sugar they crave.
It's not clear the council action against a few mobile vendors will have much effect on urban schools within easy walking distance of minimarts and fast-food restaurants, which will not be affected by the restrictions approved yesterday.
At Franklin High School, none of the street vendors appeared to be operating yesterday. But knots of students walked to nearby stores to buy meals of burritos, sodas and chips.
"Really nobody eats in the lunchroom," said Aiko Taylor, a sophomore whose lunch consisted of a bag of cheese-flavored popcorn and a Sunny Delight orange-flavored drink.
Taylor and other students said the school had chased away some vendors who used to operate nearby, including a man who sold pizza and breadsticks out of the back of his truck. The pizza man had been a big draw.
"The school lunch is cold. It's not that good," said Julie Mandefero, a junior munching on a bag of Doritos.
Westberg admitted the city may not be able to do much to undo kids' disdain for cafeteria food. Still, he said, it was important for officials to take any actions they could.
"We're not trying to stifle free enterprise, we're just trying to stop illegal activity," Westberg said.

Manziel during draft: 'We're screwed'
Johnny Manziel was getting nervous during Thursday night's first round of the NFL Draft as the picks continued to be called and his name wasn't being read.
Johnny Manziel was getting nervous during Thursday night's first round of the NFL Draft as the picks continued to be called and his name wasn't being read.
In his latest "Monday Morning Quarterback," Peter King details Manziel's emotions after getting bypassed by the Rams at the No. 13 slot:
Manziel does not like to let people see him sweat. He knew his every move on this night would be scrutinized closely. But the Rams passing on him hurt. Because now he thought he'd be in for a free-fall. He turned to [his agent, EriK] Burkhardt, and sort of out of the side of his mouth, said this: "E.B., we're screwed."
Manziel told King Saturday night that he felt "really good" about St. Louis and was surprised they chose not to take him.
King also sheds light on the Browns' pre-draft workout with Manziel in College Station, which King calls a "mess." In the 8 a.m. session on the Saturday before Easter, Manziel had a high school friend, his agent and Browns offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan -- all wearing sneakers and jeans -- as his wide receivers. Afterward, his agent said it wasn't Manziel's best.
Browns head coach Mike Pettine came away impressed though with Manziel's ability to handle pressure.
The Vikings also reportedly liked Manziel and were trying to trade him for as well. However, the Browns' offer to the Eagles was sweeter and they pulled the trigger.
Manziel, taken by the Browns with the No. 22 overall pick, will now compete with Brian Hoyer for the starting quarterback job in training camp in what feels like a yearly ritual in Cleveland.
The hope is that Manziel or Hoyer will make this the last summer quarterback battle for a while.

This is an a-maz-ing recipe! I did the lazy-man's version and I just threw the chopped onion, minced garlic, small Dupuy lentils, pineapple, plantain, spices, 2 cups of tomato juice, and 1 cup of water in a heavy pot and simmered (covered) for about 45 min.
This is sooooooooooo good! I try to include a fair amount of healthy-yet-tasty meals into my rotation when menu planning, but usually they fall flat. This one was an absolute hit! It's a nice, subtle spicy lentil dish, and the pineapple/plantains add a bit of sweetness to it. Just a teaspoon of salt accentuates the spicy-sweet flavors. I served it on top of portions of steamed white rice, and it was very well received! Thanks for the recipe!
Wow. This is so good and different. I really like the complexity of the flavors. Thanks for posting.
We loved this, I've made it twice. We're trying heart-healthy foods, and this was perfect. Tasty and different from the usual lentil soup.
Nice recipe for a lentils that's a little different than usual. I liked the sweet flavor that the pineapple and plantian give it. I forgot to add the allspice and cloves when I cooked it, but will add to the leftovers. The directions don't say when to put them in.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
