Girls Like Justin Bieber Because He's Handsome, Y'All
"Not trying to be arrogant, but if I walked down the street and a girl saw me, she might take a look back because maybe I'm good-looking, right?"
– Justin Bieber on his appeal with tha ladiez in the new issue of Vanity Fair. Whatever, Biebs. I'm 31, I don't get you and this cover is giving me the pukes. VF is one of those magazines I use mostly for display in my apartment — like, it hides the stack of Us Weekly and Lucky magazines so I can look smart to guests. But this issue won't exactly have the same effect, will it? Way to defeat the purpose of your magazine, VF! I'm canceling my subscription! [Vanity Fair]

The 'Missing' star expresses her anger at the press for sparking speculations that she had undergone cosmetic surgery through a lengthy article that discusses her altered appearance.
Ashley Judd apparently is still fuming over recent speculations that she had undergone cosmetic surgery. Nearly a month after her puffy face at an appearance on a Canadian talk show became the talk of the town, the "De-Lovely" actress fired back at the media in a lengthy article on the Daily Beast.
"The Conversation about women's bodies exists largely outside of us, while it is also directed at (and marketed to) us, and used to define and control us," the 43-year-old started her post. She continued, "As an actor and woman who, at times, avails herself of the media, I am painfully aware of the conversation about women's bodies, and it frequently migrates to my own body. I know this, even though my personal practice is to ignore what is written about me."
Having explained why she chose to "abstain from all media about myself," Judd further noted that the plastic surgery speculations in March "feel different". She went on, "Consequently, I choose to address it because the conversation was pointedly nasty, gendered, and misogynistic and embodies what all girls and women in our culture, to a greater or lesser degree, endure every day, in ways both outrageous and subtle."
The leading lady of "Missing" then listed a brief analysis of her five "conclusions" on speculations and criticism surrounding her look. In one, she wrote, "When I am sick for more than a month and on medication (multiple rounds of steroids), the accusation is that because my face looks puffy, I have 'clearly had work done.' "
In another, Judd called out the press for calling her a "cow" and a "pig" as well as telling her to "better watch out" because her husband "is looking for his second wife" when she went from size two to size six "after a lazy six months of not exercising" and her weight gain shows in her face and arms.
The "Tooth Fairy" actress additionally pointed out, "We are unable at times to identify ourselves as our own denigrating abusers, or as abusing other girls and women. A case in point is that this conversation was initially promulgated largely by women; a sad and disturbing fact. (That they are professional friends of mine, and know my character and values, is an additional betrayal.)"
Judd showed off a puffier-than-normal face during an appearance on CTV's "The Marilyn Denis Show" back in March. After cosmetic surgery accusations surfaced, her representative came out with an explanation, saying in a statement, "[Judd] has been battling an ongoing, serious sinus infection and flu. Therefore, [Judd] has been on a heavy dose of medication to overcome it."

Nip/Tuck Reality: Live Plastic Surgery [Weekly Round-Up]
Princess 19 on 25 Mar 2011 at 12:00am
Deciding whether or not to undergo plastic surgery is anxiety enough. How about upping the ante and broadcasting the procedure live to the world? It's strange, but true, in this week's round-up.
Recently in South China, a breast augmentation was broadcast live over the Internet. The procedure, done at the Huamei Cosmetic and Surgery Clinic, aired via the hospital website. The patient, a part-time model and student, completely supported the idea. "I believe the medical procedure will achieve better results with public supervision," she said. Hmmm.
The live broadcast caused quite a stir in the traditionally conservative country of China. Public nudity is considered "off-limits" and Ms. Liuhan's breasts were barely blurred.
Many people were upset and blamed the clinic for doing this just for sensationalized purposes.The live broadcast seemed more for entertainment vs. education. "A video of surgery might be useful for hospitals as a record or for teaching or supervision, but it's improper to show it on the Internet for people of all ages," said Yi Shenghua, at Beijing's Yingke Law Firm.
The clinic defended itself, saying, "The live broadcast was an attempt to give the public a deeper, more rational understanding of plastic surgery," said clinic director, Li Xinsen.
This may not fly in the U.S., according to discussion on RealSelf.
"In the US, the medical/legal issues would most likely preclude doing a broadcast. In the late 1990's, I was filmed by a local T.V. station a breast aug[mentation] with after[wards] in-studio interviews. I contacted the Board of Medicine and had the chairman present in studio to cover any issues. [It was] Still very difficult to arrange," said Darryl J. Blinski, MD.
Hmmm...live plastic surgery broadcasts in the U.S.? Can the Real Housewives please get in line?

Worthy Christian News » US News » Outbreak Taking Place on the Border
Outbreak Taking Place on the Border
SAN DIEGO (Worthy News)-- The Centers for Disease Control is trying to contain an outbreak of pneumonia and swine flu among illegal immigrant children housed at a Navy Base in Southern California, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
The outbreak of disease among several of the nearly 600 immigrant children at the Naval Base Ventura County, located north of Los Angeles, initially was thought to be caused by deadly bacterial streptococcal meningitis, according to one official close to the issue.
However, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said he was not aware of any cases of meningitis at the base.
The pneumonia cases and meningitis scare last weekend followed two cases of H1N1 swine flu among other child immigrants—one at the California base and another in Texas. The virus caused a global pandemic in 2009, but officials said it is considered less dangerous than the meningitis outbreak that began over the past weekend.
Naval officials, along with HHS and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) officials, sought to block the disease outbreak by quarantines and halting transfers of children into and out of the facility. -- Source

Since cashing out of McAfee (the company) in 1994, McAfee (the human) has started up a variety of oddball businesses, including an instant messaging software vendor and a travel firm specializing in motorized hang glider tours. But a meth lab was not among them, he claims.
Still, on the morning of May 4, McAfee was startled out of the bed he was sharing with his 17-year-old girlfriend by men holding automatic weapons. As he told Honan by telephone:
I jumped out of bed, I'm naked, I ran out on the porch where I could see troops with automatic weapons and in their assault stance, the low walk, definitely aggressive hostile movement. I went inside, put some pants on, came back out, and was shoved up against the wall. And that began my day.
According to McAfee, the raid was payback for failure to fork over the required tribute to a local politician. His punishment: a night huddled on the cement floor of a Belize jail with five other inmates and an overturned milk carton that had recently been filled with human waste. (Sorry.) Now he's in an undisclosed location, rationing the last remaining bits of juice on his smartphone battery to post messages online and chat with reporters.
Over the last couple of years McAfee's reputation for honesty has taken a few hits (and, presumably, so has McAfee), and his entire story may be BS. Still, it's a heckuvalot more interesting than Facebook's bungled IPO or who won the Google-Oracle lawsuit.
You're a 66-year-old maverick millionaire on the run, and you've just been rousted from bed with a girl one-quarter your age by armed gunmen. I bet a lot of people would settle for that. Me, I'd just settle for the movie rights.

National Prescription Take-Back Day removed 136 pounds of prescription and non-prescription drugs from circulation in Pulaski County Saturday.
Pulaski County Sheriff Jim Davis said his department's booth in front of Walmart in Dublin took in 42.4 pounds of drugs, which was down slightly from last year when 50 pounds were turned in.
At the Pulaski Community Partners Coalition (PCPC) booth outside Food City in Pulaski, 93.6 pounds of drugs were collected.
Lee Spiegel, PCPC coordinator, said a pill-by-pill count showed that a total of 30,655 pills were turned in for disposal, with 1,876 being narcotics and almost 29,000 being over-the-counter or other types of medications. Narcotics are drugs that are most susceptible to being distributed illegally and abused.
Spiegel said "a good bit" of liquid medicines also were turned in Saturday.
PCPC's collections also were down from 2012, when 44,000 pills (1,400 narcotic pills) were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) administration.
Spiegel expressed gratitude to PCPC volunteers who worked the booth and PCPC's partners, Pulaski Police Department, Food City in Pulaski, and LewisGale Hospital-Pulaski for assisting with the effort. "It is only possible to do this with their help!" she said.
The purpose of the nationwide DEA-sponsored Take-Back program is to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or wanted so that they don't end up being abused or contaminating the environment.
Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Studies show a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.
If the medications don't end up on the streets, they often are flushed down toilets or disposed of in landfills. This can contaminate the environment and harm wildlife.
Drugs collected during the Take-Backs are turned over to the DEA for proper disposal through incineration.

Wellington Airport welcomes ANA 777 charter flight direct from Japan
This morning Wellington Airport hosted a direct flight from Tokyo for a Japanese delegation who are visiting the Capital. The ANA charter flight is a Boeing 777-300ER which is a wide-body long haul aircraft.
Wellington Airport has previously catered for other wide-body aircraft such as the Qantas A330 during the Rugby World cup. While Wellington's runway enables some long haul aircraft to land with a commercially viable load, the existing runway length limits the maximum available take-off weight. The additional fuel required to reach long haul destinations means that the number of passengers and cargo are restricted on flights beyond Australia.
As announced last year, Wellington Airport is studying the options to extend the runway and is aiming to lodge the application for consent in early 2015.
"One of the first milestones we are working towards is to confirm the engineering feasibility of extending the runway. So over the next three months engineering design and costs will be developed for options to extend north or south," said Steve Sanderson, Wellington Airport's Chief Executive.
"Extending the runway will enable direct long haul flights for Wellington's existing market and open up growth opportunities not only for the region, but for New Zealand."
"There are a number of economic development initiatives for Wellington in the pipeline; some are at the idea stage and others such as the conference centre are being further scoped. Direct international connections will support the potential and growth for these initiatives. Currently the lack of connections is constraining the region with negative flow on effects at a national level."
An initial economic study showed compelling benefits from extending the runway and a further independent study has been commissioned into the economic impact for Wellington, the region and New Zealand.
There are many gates to go through, project streams and reports necessary before lodging the application for consent. Over the course of the year the airport will produce reports for the consenting process, including:
· Economic benefit to Wellington, the region and New Zealand
· Extension options that look at both north and south directions.
· Engineering design and cost
· Review of feasible alternative airport locations in the region
· Ecological impact assessment
· Noise, traffic and urban impact
· Landscape assessment
· Social, cultural and recreational impacts
· Archaeological assessment
Once the airport has undertaken the comprehensive assessments and design it will initiate public wide consultation and feedback.
"It is expected that the proposed extension and impacts will be presented for public consultation later this year. We are looking forward to consulting with stakeholders, airlines, civic partners, our local community, businesses and the region."

There are quite a few factors that go into what makes a brand "followable" in social media. Think about it from the follower's perspective -- why do you choose to 'like' or follow certain brands on social networks like Facebook and Twitter? It could be because they share valuable, educational content that appeals to your interests and needs. Or it could be that they give you access to exclusive deals, coupons, or other promotions. Or maybe they're just ridiculously funny.
Truthfully, the best brands to follow in social media should probably have a combination of all those characteristics. But I'd venture to say that many of you are following a brand simply for its entertainment value. (I know I am.) You know -- the brands that really tickle your funny bone and sometimes even make your sides hurt from laughter. You just can't help but follow them, and you've probably shared some of their updates with your own network, expanding that brand's social media reach. And while it may not seem like a funny update has any value, surely there's value in showing off your personality and being a lovable brand, right?
So the next time you're planning your social media updates, why not incorporate a little humor here and there? To help bring out your inner comedian, we've compiled a list of brands whose social media presence gives us the giggles. We're warning you though, by the time you're done with this post, your cheeks might be a tad bit on the sore side.
1) Charmin
You mean the toilet paper company? Darn tootin'! The original inspiration of this post, Charmin's Twitter presence is definitely a must follow. Just check out the following series of tweets to see what we mean. Charmin is a great example of a brand whose humor aligns with the products it sells. And don't you just love that #tweetfromtheseat hashtag?
Looks like it's going to be a ginormous latte w/4 extra espresso shots kind of day. (we're bringing the Charmin with us for the aftermath.)— Charmin(@Charmin) August 8, 2012
Confession: We just did the "potty jig" in front of a co-worker and blamed it on being late to a meeting & had to run.— Charmin(@Charmin) August 7, 2012
Woke up this morning to find all 3 kids made up their own kind of sporting event: Charmin Unraveling.— Charmin(@Charmin) August 7, 2012
2) Taco Bell
Taco Bell is known for using humor throughout its marketing and advertising, and its social media accounts are no different. From witty one-liners to clever photo updates, Taco Bell's Facebook and Twitter presence is sure to make you crack a smile, particularly when it responds to some light-hearted criticism from other brands on our list (coughOLDSPICEcough).
3) Old Spice
Old Spice doesn't only pick fights with other brands. It's also funny in its own right, with funny -- and often ridiculous -- posts. Just take a look at its 'About' descriptions on Twitter and Facebook as well as a few of Old Spice's silly tweets.

4) JetBlue Airways
JetBlue is a great example of a brand that sprinkles in just a little humor throughout its social presence. Not everything JetBlue posts is necessarily laugh out loud funny, but the brand does a great job of infusing some of its humorous personality into its updates, balancing informational content with light-hearted updates like the Facebook post you see below.
5) Mars Curiosity (NASA)
As in, the lunar rover. These NASA-run social media accounts feature sassy, first-person updates from the rover itself, who incorporates funny pop culture references and a bold attitude. And, oh yeah -- its Twitter account has more than 1 million followers, and its Facebook page has over 270,000 fans. Not too shabby, NASA.

6) Popchips
One of my personal favorite brands to follow in social media (and to snack on!), Popchips' Facebook presence always has me laughing with funny puns and images like those featured below.
7) GymIt
It's no surprise GymIt has made our list of funny brands in social media, considering we already know how awesome they are at copywriting in general. The result is a comedic Facebook presence that does a great job of staying on brand.
8) Intel
Intel's Twitter feed proves that you don't need to be a consumer brand to have a sense of humor. Like JetBlue, not every tweet from Intel is exactly a knee slapper, but it's a good reminder that a little humor can go a long way toward achieving likability.

9) Whole Foods
Would you "Holla for Challah bread"? Whole Foods wants you to, and that's just one of its witty little Facebook updates. Mainly sharing recipe and food ideas through its Facebook page and Twitter feed, Whole Foods adds a dash of humor that makes it a lot more fun to follow than your average recipe source.

10) IMPACT Branding & Design
Another B2B company to grace our list, HubSpot partner IMPACT Branding & Design definitely gets the value of comedy, offering a great balance of educational content and a few laughs on its Facebook page.
11) Bissell
Bissell, the vacuum cleaner company (who would've thought?), knows how to crack a joke from time to time on its Facebook page. What's great about Bissell's humor is that it never sacrifices brand relevancy, as is evident by this smartly funny Facebook post.
12) Skittles
Skittles' social sense of humor is apparently all about being silly and ridiculous. But it definitely brings a smile to your face, doesn't it? Check out the examples below from Skittles' Facebook page and Twitter feed. And for those of you not hip to the meme, "YOLO" is an acronym for "You Only Live Once."

13) KRAFT Mac & Cheese
Who knew elbow macaroni could be so funny? KRAFT Mac & Cheese's social media presence features images of macaroni engaging in hobbies such as painting and tennis as well as mac & cheese humor. KRAFT also reportedly allowed two women in their 80s take over their social media accounts for its 75th anniversary, using the hashtag #OldBirdsNewTweets, through which followers could watch the women learn about memes, internet slang, and technology. Oh, and the banner image for its Twitter account? Hilarious.
We like to mix our Mac & Cheese in slow motion. It adds to the excitement.— KRAFT Mac & Cheese (@kraftmacncheese) July 13, 2012
14) Oreo
Oreo's Facebook page regularly features funny newsjacks of current events using visuals, as you can see below from its Elvis Week image and its National Bowling Day visual.
What other brands can't you help from following in social media, even for just a good laugh?

The co-host of 'The Talk' says that Jay called her immediately after she revealed their fling, saying that it's 'amazing' how they had found love of their lives.
Viewers of "The Talk" were surprised when the show's co-host Sharon Osbourne revealed on Monday, September 9 episode of the show that she had short-lived romance with Jay Leno before she got married to Ozzy Osbourne. In the next episode, Sharon said that the late-night talk show host called her after the revelation.
"As soon as the show was finished he called me," she told the show's audience on Tuesday. "He said, 'Isn't it amazing that...we were both single and we both found our love of our lives and we both got the longest marriages in Hollywood?' "
"It's not like it's a dirty little secret," Sharon said on Monday before going public with her story. "When I was 25, I just moved to America. I didn't know many people. I had met my husband, but we weren't together. We were just friends. I didn't have a boyfriend. I never did date a lot at that time, anyway, because I was not very dateable."
Sharon went to a club where Jay was performing and she loved his show. They later kept chatting on the phone and apparently developed romantic feelings. "One thing led to another," Sharon added. "He came to my house and met me and then we had a little fling. The fling was more fling for me and not fling enough for him."
Jay fell in love with another woman. "A couple of months into it he brought around the real love of his life for me to meet. She was lovely and they took me to Fat Burger and they showed me around town. They were so kind to me and continued the friendship over the years," she said. When asked if the sex was good, Sharon admitted that she did not remember. "It was so long ago!" she explained.

MELBOURNE REBELS breakaway Jarrod Saffy will today find out whether he can continue his career after more than three months sidelined with a bulging disc in the neck.
Saffy had scans yesterday and has an appointment with his neurosurgeon this morning in which he is expecting to be told whether the disc had sufficiently repaired itself during the enforced lay-off or if he requires surgery.
The 27-year-old was injured when he was accidentally struck on the back of the neck during a training drill by an arm guard worn by teammate Adam Byrnes in April.
Saffy played for the Rebels a couple of days later against NSW in round 9 but was replaced and has not played again, and had feared the injury could threaten his career. He has been back doing weights sessions and running in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, the return of Wallabies winger Joe Tomane and No. 8 Fotu Auelua have buoyed the Brumbies ahead of their crucial Super Rugby clash against the lowly ranked Blues at Canberra Stadium tomorrow.
The Australian conference leaders are within sight of qualifying for their first finals campaign since 2004 and need just a bonus point to put their berth out of question ahead of the second-placed Queensland Reds.
Tomane slots back to his regular spot on the wing, moving Jesse Mogg to fullback and Robbie Coleman to the bench.
■Western Force veteran Nathan Sharpe is set to play his retirement game tomorrow against the Crusaders after recovering from a slipped disc that left him bed-ridden last week.

Russia is planning a world-class velodrome on the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics and hopes to create a Tour of Russia with a Red Square finish to promote the sport, its cycling federation chief says.
The head of Russia's cycling body, Igor Makarov, told reporters the federation's plans to renovate the country's cycling infrastructure with a view to staging major events had received full backing from the government.
He said Russia's cycling ambitions would be centred on 2014 Winter Olympics host city Sochi, a resort on the Black Sea with a temperate climate and surrounded by huge mountains.
"We decided to transform one of the skating rinks which are now under construction in Sochi into a top-class cycling racing track after the end of 2014 Olympics," he said.
"We need it desperately, as none of the existing racing tracks in Russia fit the strict demands for the Olympic cycling track."
Russia has made little impact in track cycling in recent years, as advances in technology and training by the likes of Australia and Britain left other nations with less funding trailing in their wake.
Some racers like Denis Menchov have made an impact in road racing, and Russia also has its own Katusha road racing team.
Makarov also revealed he was also planning to stage a professional Tour of Russia - an annual multiple-stage race.
Sochi, the western city of Saint Petersburg and the capital Moscow would be ready to host the stages of any race soon after the 2014 Sochi Games end, he added.
"I believe a professional race with its overall finish in Red Square in front of Moscow's ancient Kremlin would attract the attention of millions of sport lovers everywhere," said Makarov, a former Soviet champion-turned-businessman.

If someone had told Marg Atkinson three years ago she's be working on the frontline of a bustling eco-tourism business, living close to town and meeting people from all over the world every day, she readily admits, she would not have dreamed it could be true.
Yet that's exactly what's happened to the woman who grew up on cattle properties near Mt Garnet in far north Queensland and, most recently, lived and worked on a remote station in Cape York Peninsula.
On Strathburn Station, about 500 kilometres north-west of Mareeba, Marg reckons she probably had about half a dozen visitors in six years. Now, she would meet more than that on any given day as manager of an internationally-renowned nature conservancy, just west of Cairns.
Variety's the spice of life. I think that's what makes life interesting, trying new things, and what I love about this is the people that I meet, lots of amazing people who are really happy to be here.Marg Atkinson, Mareeba Wetlands
"Variety's the spice of life," she laughs. "I think that's what makes life interesting, trying new things, and what I love about this is the people that I meet, lots of amazing people who are really happy to be here and that makes it really positive."
Marg and her husband moved in next-door to the Mareeba Tropical Savanna and Wetland Reserve, known locally at the Mareeba Wetlands, where they could continue to run a few head of Brahman cattle after selling up in Cape York.
It was only then Marg discovered the "well-kept secrets" of the 500-hectare reserve and began helping out at the safari lodge and information centre.
"Really, you could be anywhere in outback Australia. You could be right up the Cape in an isolated place but we're only 15 kilometres out of Mareeba," she says.
"We get birdwatchers from all over the world come to look for particular species here.
"There are other wetlands around, but this is very protected... our guests really have a little bit of Australia all to themselves."

International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde lauded the Philippines for achieving economic progress amids the global economic uncertainty.
"I congratulate the Filipino authorities for their excellent economic stewardship during difficult times. Credit is also due to Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) for containing inflation and ensuring financial stability," Lagarde said during the press briefing in Malacanang on Friday.
The Philippines is the only country that the IMF raised its growth forecast for this year, Lagarde said.
"In the last decade, the Philippines has managed to have an average growth of about five percent. This year 2012, at a very difficult time because of the financial crisis in other parts of the world, the Philippines is probably the only country of which we have increased the growth forecast as opposed to other places in the world where we actually decreased our forecast," she said.
Lagarde also noted that the Philippines managed to achieve resilient and inclusive growth due to its good policies and reforms.
"Thanks to these good policies and reforms, the Philippines has become a vibrant emerging market that is approaching investment-grade status," she said.
"Looking ahead, we share the government's view that growth must benefit a broader section of the population. This means continuing to improve governance, upgrade infrastructure and boost spending on education and social safety nets. It will also be necessary to deepen reforms to improve the investment climate," she said
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas said Lagarde's visit to the country solidifies the country's partnership with the IMF in pursuing a stable monetary and financial system of the country. Lagarde arrived in the Philippines last Thursday.
The Philippines, through the BSP, will continue to be supportive of regional and international initiatives in pursuit of sustainable and equitable economic development.

Car Buying Guide
"Just click here and this beautiful convertible can be yours for $1 under invoice. Unbelievable! And we've got Zero Percent financing. Even more unbelievable! And we'll give you a free computer when you buy from us! And we guarantee the value of your trade-in!
Listen to the hype—whether it's on TV, online, or in print—and you'd think saving money on a vehicle is as easy and fast as flipping the TV remote. Wrong!
Did you know a dealer or online auto service can sell or lease you a new set of wheels for exactly what the dealer paid the manufacturer and still make $500 to $1,500 on just the car itself?
Did you know that "Zero Percent" financing may cost you more than financing at a bank or credit union—even if the bank or credit union's rate is 7 percent?
Do you hate dealing with dealers and look forward to buying or leasing a vehicle online—or from a buying service—just so you won't have to deal with the dealer yourself? Guess what: you have to deal with a dealer, even if you use a buying service! All new vehicle sales—repeat, all—have to involve a dealer.
Do you think the Internet has made it safer for you to research and/or acquire a new vehicle? Think again! In just the past three years, the entire auto business has been ripped apart, reinvented, and re-launched. "In an instant, your privacy, your money, and your good credit can be stripped away—and that's if you're dealing with the 'good' car guys!" That quote, from the latest edition of my book Don't Get Taken Every Time, sums it up. (Read the Introduction and Chapter 1 of the book.)
That's why I've written this special buying guide for you. For over 20 years, I've tracked the inner workings of the auto industry. As President and co-founder of the non-profit Consumer Task Force For Automotive Issues, and as co-founder of the Privacy Rights Now Coalition, I've pretty much seen it all when it comes to wacky sales gimmicks, deception and consumer abuse. And, it's my sworn duty to keep those things from happening to you!
And that's why this IQ guide is unique to Educators. Three years ago I wrote that Educators has the most innovative car programs in the country. Now with their new programs, I still believe that. the Educators lease program, for instance, is the only lease program I support in the country. That says a lot about the integrity of your credit union.
Something huge: You probably don't know this either, but I've never recommended a credit union car program. For me to recommend it says a lot about Educators vehicle efforts. Educators leasing program contains none of the tricks or pressures I write about in this guide. And their program works hand-in-hand with the steps I outline in this guide.
And will this guide work! If you follow this guide, you can probably keep thousands of your hard-earned dollars in your pocket rather than in the dealer's.
A major promise up-front: IQ is about educating you, not trying to hype you. This program provides you an oasis from the pressure, confusion and deception that is rampant in the auto industry and on the Web. And it gives you straight answers.
For instance, where is it cheapest to finance? If Educators determines that it would be cheaper and better for you to finance at some other institution, they'll send you there. Think about that! Do you really think any other financial institution would do that?
Educators makes that promise because their goals are different than the other players in the auto industry. A dealer or their finance sources have two objectives: to sell you their product or service (whether or not it's the right product for you) and to sell it to you at the maximum price you will pay. Educators' job, on the other hand, is to make sure you buy what's best for you and to make sure you pay the least for it.
They're not just being noble, either. Since you own part of the credit union, Educators' financial well-being is linked closely to your financial well-being: when you prosper financially, they prosper.
And since Educators is not-for-profit and owned by you, their prosperity translates into money and benefits for you. Nice!

The obvious interpretation from Fairfax's decision to appoint Cowin to the board is that the move is a concession to his close friend and business ally Rinehart whose efforts to secure board representation has been frustrated so far.
However, Corbett has gone to lengths this morning to stress there is no connection between Cowin's appointment and Rinehart's campaign. Cowin is also understood to be keen to divorce himself from the perception that he is will act as a proxy for Rinehart but is joining the board as an independent director with deep media experience in his own right.
Unlike Rinehart, Cowin has agreed to adhere to Fairfax Media's governance principles and charter of independence.
While Cowin's business background warrants consideration of an appointment in his own right, there is no escaping the fact that his discussions with Fairfax over the last few months initially came about because of his relationship with Rinehart.
Cowin referred to his role in the Rinehart-Fairfax saga as the "Henry Kissinger of shuttle diplomacy" in an interview with The Australian Financial Review earlier this month. His relationship with the mining billionaire does mean he will be able to act as an important mediator between the company's major shareholder. Rinehart holds just under 15 per cent.
All that aside, appointing Cowin to the board is a logical step by Corbett. He knows a thing or two about the media industry after his role in a successful restructure at the Ten Network in the early 1990s. Like Rinehart, he also sits on the Ten board. Estimated by BRW to be worth $610 million, Cowin has made most of his money from his involvement in KFC, Hungry Jack's and Domino's Pizza businesses.
Meanwhile, Fairfax remains in a stalemate with Rinehart. There is still no deal with Hancock Prospecting in the works despite Cowin's appointment this morning.

Video: Madonna kisses Drake and the rapper doesn't like it
Madonna stunned Drake by kissing him on stage at Coachella last night
The 56-year-old singer made a surprise appearance during the 'Worst Behaviour' star's set at the Los Angeles festival after her left the stage following a rendition of his song 'Madonna' and she came out to sing her own songs 'Hung Up' and 'Human Nature'.
Drake then took a seat and she circled him while singing 'Express Yourself' then surprised him with a passionate smooch, much to his apparent horror.
The pop superstar, who was wearing a black vest emblazoned with the phrase 'Big As Madonna', didn't appear to notice the 28-year-old singer wiping his mouth in apparent disgust after the liplock.
She said as she left the stage: "I'm Madonna, b***h."
Meanwhile, Drake laughed and asked the crowd: "What the f**k just happened?"
The 'Living for Love' singer - who raises four children, Lourdes, 18, Rocco, 14, and Mercy and David, both nine - has made no secret of the fact she has a crush on the rapper and their moment on stage saw her fulfill a "lifelong ambition".
She said recently: "The lifelong ambition I still want to fulfill is to go on a dream date with Drake -- and only kiss him. "

Epp, Jacob Gerhard (1882-1949)
Owing to the severe famine in 1921, the Epp family decided to leave Russia for Canada. When their passports finally arrived in September 1926, they left the next day for Moscow. On 20 October 1926 the Epps landed in London, England. Soon after they boarded the ship SS Melita, arriving in Quebec City, Quebec on 29 October 1926. The family briefly settled in Langham, Saskatchewan and then moved to Waldheim. They were in the process of buying 320 acres near Glenbush, Saskatchewan when Jacob Epp read an advertisement for good farmland at $135 per acre in Yarrow, British Columbia. The Epp family soon left for their new homeland with nine children, the eldest being 19, and the youngest under 2.
The Jacob Epps together with eight other families arrived in Yarrow on 21 February 1928. As an ordained leader, Jacob Epp was among the handful of people who helped set the course for the community. He was also elected to the "Schultebot", the community disciplinary committee, because he carried out his duties in a fair and loving way. The Epp home became a place where young people met on Sunday afternoons for Bible study and singing.
Jacob G. Epp was the first preacher to serve the young Yarrow Mennonite Church which initially was made up of both Mennonite Brethren and United Mennonite members. Jacob brought with him the fervor for Bible Study and preaching he had practiced in Russia. Initially he invited neighbors to Sunday worship at his home. On Good Friday, April 1928, Jacob Epp led the congregation in the first official worship service in Yarrow. He was diligent in the preparation of his sermons, concerned to nurture his listeners. Among the sources he used in preparation were the writings of Josephus, Charles Spurgeon and Johann Heinrich Jung (Jung Stilling), authors he had brought with him to Canada. He was appreciated for his warmth and caring expression by all the early settlers in Yarrow.
Jacob and Elizabeth Epp became charter members of Yarrow Mennonite Brethren Church in 1929. As a minister, he also became a member of the Church Council (Vorberat). Jacob Epp continued a long a fruitful preaching ministry, taught a men's Sunday school class, officiated at weddings and funerals, baptized new Church members and visited the sick and shut-ins, a practice he continued until the week before he died. He was a man of prayer, regularly attending and often leading the Saturday evening prayer meetings in the church. The Epps often hosted other local ministers and their wives or out-of-town guests in their home for a time of fellowship and encouragement on Sunday afternoons. Their guest room was seldom vacant.
Jacob Gerhard Epp passed away on 1 March 1949. Elizabeth (Paetkau) Epp passed away on 2 May 1949, just two months after her husband's passing. Both are buried in the Yarrow cemetery.

Currently I teach the following courses/subjects in the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs, Baruch College, City University of New York. I am happy to share full syllabi with teaching colleagues. Contact me via my Baruch e-mail: john.casey[at]baruch.cuny.edu
PAF 9120: PUBLIC AND NONPROFIT MANAGEMENT I This course introduces the fundamental concepts and techniques for managing people in government and nonprofit agencies, including schools. It focuses on structural models; individual behavior, including group dynamics and leadership; effective use and management of human resources; and political and cultural frameworks. Questions of effectiveness, responsibility, and professional relations are considered.
PAF 9151: THE ADMINISTRATION OF NONPROFIT AND VOLUNTARY AGENCIES The course focuses on the study of management techniques and strategies applicable in nonprofit agencies. Topics include agency interaction with governmental and political institutions, planning and control systems, the role of the governing board, and the role of the executive director. Special attention is paid to the needs of community service/social welfare and cultural/arts organizations.
PAF 9181: COMPARATIVE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION In a globalized world, the international dimension of public administration is no longer the domain of only a small elite. Public sector managers at all levels now respond to demands generated from beyond the borders of their own jurisdiction. PAF 9181 focuses on understanding public administration in other countries and international organizations. The course begins with a comparative analysis of the political and cultural environments that configure the public and nonprofit sectors around the globe. It then examines the tools available to implement government policies and compares how they are used for national and international governance. Class sessions will focus on single countries and regions, on comparing the provision of specific services in different countries, and on comparative perspectives on policy issues such as public sector reform, immigration and government-nonprofit relations. The final part of the course will analyze the cultural competencies needed to work in cross-cultural and international settings.
PAF 9183: THE MANAGEMENT OF INTERNATIONAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS This course examines the international dimension of the nonprofit world. It focuses on those nonprofit organizations that work across borders because: 1) they seek to influence global issues such as economic justice, human rights, and the environment; 2) they deliver aid or capacity building programs in developing countries; or 3) they are the secretariat or headquarters of an international network of organizations. The course will explore international and cross-cultural management issues, relationships with national governments and supranational entities, and international advocacy strategies. My new book The Nonprofit World was written for use in this course; for a sample syllabus: PAF9183_InternationalNonprofits

The wrap up: For many long hours, that was one of the most condensed leader boards I have ever seen at major. Eventually Martin Kaymer broke free with a four-under back nine to take a three-shot lead at five under. However, there are 51 players between -2 and +2.
The course is very dry and does not have the thick rough that one expects from the US Open. It's more of a wispy, sandy rough that you would see at Royal Melbourne. The greens are hard and the slightest mistake in yardage results in balls rolling off the back.
The leading Australian is Aaron Baddeley at even while John Senden and amateur Oliver Goss are only one shot further back. Rod Pampling is +2 with one hole to play.
The big names Adam Scott, Jason Day and Geoff Ogilvy lie at three over. A solid sub-par round should leave them in contention after round two, but Scott in particular will need to work on his putting.
Good finish by Ogilvy. The 2006 US Open champion has birdied the ninth (his last) to move to +3. His winning score in 2006 was +5, so using my immature logic, he still has two shots up his sleeve.
Geoff Ogilvy also getting a bit of air time, too. Leaving your tee shot nearly dead on the ninth hole helps and a birdie means he will finish with Adam Scott and Jason Day on three over 73.
Rod Pampling's birdie attempt on seven (his 16th) misses. In fact, it was not even close. His putter needs to take some lessons from the scriptwriters of Days of Our Lives, put a bit of suspense in it.
HOORAY! The lack of numbers on the course means that Rod Pampling gets a guernsey on the TV coverage. A good approach shot on the seventh hole (his 17th) helps too and Pampling has a gettable chance to move to even.

The 49-year-old resurgent Fran Quinn, who last played the US Open 18 years ago and has his 15-year-old son as caddy, has just birdied the fifth hole (his 14th) to move to -2.
Martin Kaymer holes his par putt to finish at -5, while the Duff, Jason Dufner, misses his to finish with a two over 72. Keegan Bradley also holes out to finish at -1.
Martin Kaymer's approach shot to 18th was surprisingly limp. His putt of the green was OK and his a tricky one to save par and preserve his commanding three-shot lead.
Donaldson's time in the bright lights last all but one hole. He double bogeyed the 17th with a so-so bunker shot, terrible approach putt, and one that lipped out coming back.
The American TV coverage are showing the highlights of the afternoon players, needless to say, most of them feature a certain M.Kaymer.
Kaymer has four birdies in eight holes on the back nine. His only slip up was on the par four seventh.
Meanwhile, the new man at -2, Jamie Donaldson of Wales, has hit his tee shot to the right and is in the greenside trap.Back to top
The man who can do no wrong, otherwise known as Martin Kaymer, has just slammed his drive down the 18th fairway. Another birdie anyone?
Dufner uses his putter this time, and lo and behold he sinks it.
His playing partner Martin Kaymer is in fire and has stretched his lead to three shots with another birdie on 17. The German is smokin'!
The ingenuity award would have gone to Jason Dufner for his use of a hybrd wood as a putter from off the green on 17, but he duffed it.
Another player has moved to -2. Jaime Donaldson from Wales has slipped into equal second with a birdie on 16. It was a monster putt. What Adam Scott would have done for a couple of those.
Paul Casey walks away from the eighth hole (his 17th) with a double bogey which puts him at even with card. Geoff Ogilvy immediately gives back one of the shots he gained from his eagle on the fifth hole with a bogey on six.
Adam Scott's birdie putt on 18 was about as limp as they get and he will finish with a disappointing three over 73. The same score as Jason Day.
Another quiet achiever today is Rod Pampling. He has moved up to +1 after a birdie on the par five 14. A special shout out to Aussie amateur Oliver Goss who fired a one-over 71, one behind the leading Australian Aaron Baddeley.

Martin Kaymer has stretched his lead to two. It was a magnificent approach shot on 16 but he still had work to do with the putter and he holed a snaky 10-footer to go to four under.
Just had what they call in the business COMPUTER PROBLEMS! But I am back in time to see Adam Scott play his approach shot to 18 which is pretty good. He has a birdie chance to finish off.
Englishman Paul Casey has got it back to two under but what the course giveth, the course taketh away. His chip shot on eight (his 17th) has hit the steep bank and rolled back past his feet.
Adam Scott slams a beautiful shot down the 18th fairway but as the commentators point out, that hasn't been his problem today, it's the putter.
Adam Scott safely nabs par at 17. it was a lengthy lag putt and he got it close, but not much is happening for him.

It seems Australian travel apps are coming out faster than you can fold a tourist map. Here are some of the most nifty available, many of them free.
1. There's Nothing Like Australia, free
Launched by Tourism Australia in Shanghai in June as part of its "There's Nothing Like Australia" global campaign, this smart-looking multimedia app opens like a coffee-table book and takes users on 13 journeys via video, interactive imagery and travel stories. Featured destinations include Uluru, Melbourne, Sydney, Hayman Island and El Questro. Apart from the inspirational scenes, it is loaded with detail, including places to stay and things to see, and an itinerary builder.
2. Appy Travels, free
New to the market this year, this series of apps is being progressively rolled out and covers Australia's capital cities as well as smaller destinations often ignored in the app market. Some of their "small-fry" apps are Byron Bay, the Kimberley, the Blue Mountains, Yarra Valley and McLaren Vale. Regional apps for councils are also coming out, starting with Goulburn, in celebration of the city's 150th anniversary. There's an interactive component and users are invited to post comments and make recommendations.
3. Melbourne Peculiar, $2.99
Novelist Narrelle Harris has listed 121 oddball things about Melbourne in her app released last month. She points curious travellers to the resting place of the inventor of Vegemite, to stores that sell subversive books and to crime tours. With 600 photos. Harris previously created the Melbourne Literary app.
4. Sydney's Living History $4.49
Also released last month, foodie and prolific guidebook writer Sally Hammond unearths little-known details about 130 places in the city that you may otherwise walk past without a second thought. She includes the oldest pub, an air-raid shelter in a hotel and an ancient watercourse under the streets. Each listing has a photo, map and transport details as well as a "fun fact", highlighted in red, for users not into the fine detail.
5. Sydney Cafe Culture, $4.49
Hot on the heels of The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age's Good Cafe Guide app, Hammond has also released this cafe guide with photographer/husband Gordon. It now has 330 cafes, many with video links. Half of the listings are inner city, the remainder in beach suburbs and business centres.
6. Australian Road Trips, $4.49
Planning a driving holiday is made easy with 40 detailed itineraries from family drives along the coast to 4WD adventures. Each itinerary includes details on what to see and do, where to eat, where to sleep and where to camp. Routes include the three iconic transcontinental journeys: across the Nullarbor from Sydney to Perth; Adelaide to Darwin; and the Savannah Way from Cairns to Broome. Also plenty of day drives and weekend getaways from each capital city.
7. Australia Bushwalking, $4.49
Launched last Tuesday by writer/photographer/walker Melanie Ball, this app chronicles 90 Australia-wide bushwalks - with photos - including the breezy Great Ocean Walk and the long-and-hot Larapinta Trail. Walks are broken into categories - overnight, guided, full day, half day, desert, river, ocean - and also listed by state. There are personal insights by the author, such as: "[My highlight] was swimming nude in the Finke River with a whistling kite hovering so close I could see its wing feathers moving."
8. Yelp, free
If you are interstate and don't know where to find something - whether it be a restaurant, a pub, a hotel or a petrol station - this app comes to the rescue. Includes reviews, distances and prices. The US-based site was introduced to Australia late last year.
9. Stayz, free
Search and book accommodation around Australia. Stayz has 25,000 properties listed with descriptions, rates, reviews and photo galleries. (Stayz.com.au is a division of Fairfax Media).
10. Grampians Explore Discover, free
Planned for release next month, this app will list the best waterfalls, rock art sites, lookouts and walks. Will also have a "what is it?" function with photos and Melbourne Museum information about plants and animals so visitors can identify things they are seeing in the bush. Another feature is an integrated camera function so photos can be put into albums and shared from the app.
(Apple release in September, Android release in October)

Just like nokia caught up with others in processors and screen....
11. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
I am curious whether Apple will use OIS that is based on ST Microelectronics technology, or will they go their own way? If iP6 does not have OIS on board, I don't see how it can be competitive in the market. OIS is now must-have technology for high-end smartphones.
Same goes for Sammy.

Samsung : Good Day, May I speak to a sales executive Please
ST Microelectronics : Speaking
Samsung : I'd like to order 50 Million OIS Chips please
ST Microelectronics : Ok, We'll manufacture for samsung exclusively from now
Samsung : It's about Time
ST Microelectronics : Yeah, we wasted our time with nokia. Their phones dont sell so well.
Samsung : I'll give you $2bn for your company

Have you ever seen low light pictures snapped from an actual Nokia OIS capable phone?! I believe there is noone around who would actually NOT want this piece of tech on their phone...
16. elitewolverine (Posts: 5192; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
That is your choice, but there is a reason why the DSLR 1020, 920, 925 produce pictures that the S4 cant.
It is one thing to like a phone for what it does, it is entirely another to be ignorant that Lumia line of phones have won many Imaging awards for a reason.

14. 7thspaceman (Posts: 1584; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
Hmm this is bad for Microsoft in a way now that all smart phone makers have it's smart
phones camera tech. Android and Apple iphones fans will have super good smart phone cameras making smart phones like on the Nokia 1020 common place. Microsoft now should concentrate on making it's smart phones more for the Big business Enterprise market
where it's strength really is and also make their Own version of an android smart phone preloaded with MS office and other goodies the "Enterprise" wants. Microsoft will be the
smart phone maker that knows the "Enterprise" best because that is where it makes it's money in soft where the mobile market gets a lot of PRESS but the real money fir Microsoft is in the Enterprise. MS CEO Ballmer did a damn good job making Microsoft business Ventures there grow. Ballmer's major failure was in the Mobile tech sector but in a way it did not matter because that is not where Microsoft makes it' "MONEY"
15. willard12 (unregistered)
Didn't Nokia sue HTC for stealing this "Nokia" technology even though HTC bought it from ST Micro? Now the exclusivity period is over, HTC can buy all they want.

Acting Midshipman Samuel Wooten Averett CSN
Birth: Mar. 1, 1838 Death: Sep. 20, 1896
Officers of the Continental and U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, 1775-1900 about Samuel W Averett
Name: Samuel W Averett
Rank Information: Acting Midshipman, Midshipman, Dismissed
Service Dates: 3 Nov 1855, 9 Jun 1859
Military Branch: US Navy Officers (1798-1900)
U.S. Military and Naval Academies, Cadet Records and Applications, 1805-1908 about Samuel W Averett
Name: Samuel W Averett
Year: 1858
Volume: Volume 350; 1857-1858
Record Set: U.S. Naval Academy Registers of Delinquencies, 1846-1850 and 1853-1882
Location: Annapolis, Anne Arundel, Maryland
Samuel Wootton Averett (March 1, 1838 - September 20, 1896) graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy in 1859 and served on the screw sloop U. S. S. Wyoming in the Pacific Squadron of the U. S. Navy. When his ship put into San Francisco in May of 1861 and he found that the Civil War had broken out, he resigned from the U. S. Navy, made his way to New Orleans and, as a Lieutenant in the Confederate Navy, accepted command of the C. S. S. Watson, a towboat engaged in mounting the defenses of the city. He soon commanded a floating battery at Island No. 10 which was captured in April 1862. He was a prisoner until exchanged four months later. In October 1863, he joined the C.S.S. Florida which terrorized the Atlantic sea lanes before its capture in Bahia, Brazil in October 1864. Six months earlier, Averett had been detailed to carry dispatches from Bermuda to Richmond. His deteriorating eyesight, apparently a malady of many of the Averetts, made him less effective as a naval officer and the Confederate Secretary of the Navy sent him on leave to "Sedge Hill", the Averett family home in Halifax County where he suffered from a near fatal bout with typhoid fever and a partial loss of vision in one eye. His convalescence lasted until after the War when he secured a job as a teacher at the Culpeper Female Academy under his brother-in law and Roanoke Female College founder, Nathan Penick. In 1872, he came to Roanoke Female College where he served with his brother, John Taylor, until he left in 1887 to become President of Judson Institute, later Judson College, at Marion, Alabama where he served until his death.
Samuel Wooten Averett (1887-1896). During his tenure, Averett led a revision of the curriculum; women were first appointed as principals of academic departments, and Judson Echoes was introduced as the student publication of the Fidelian Society, an organization aimed at encouraging writing. On November 24, 1888, Jewett Hall burned to the ground, forcing classes to meet in rented buildings in Marion. The cornerstone of the second Jewett Hall was laid in May 1889; classes resumed in it the following October.Averett died suddenly in 1896

Gum Diseases
Gum lifting from the tooth
Hi! My gum a lifting away from the enamel part of the teeth showing the root by 1 nor 2mm. it does that on most of my teeth where the arch of the gum is bigger that the enamel one of the tooth. What should I do to prevent that from getting worst or to reverse the process? I am trying to brush my teeth Gum to tooth direction to prevent the lifting, but does not seem to help.... Thanks.
Use a soft brush instead of a hard one. Do not brush with horizontal strokes. Place the brush on your teeth and gums so that half of the brush will be on your gums. Apply a vibration movement without moving the brush left or right. This will help the bristles clean the gingival sulcus without hurting your gums.
