Freddie Mac Reports Homeowners Late in Seeking Home Assistance
According to a report recently published by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or Freddie Mac, very few distressed homeowners contact their lenders when having problems with their mortgage debt. The reason behind this lack of action is their belief that lenders are only after their homes.
On the contrary, many lenders would rather work out an agreement with the troubled borrowers than foreclose. In addition to the savings in foreclosure costs that the lenders will enjoy, it will also be less inconvenient for them.
If you are among the millions of homeowners who are laboring under this false belief, it is time that you put your mortgage problem in perspective. There are actually many alternatives to foreclosure that you can consider including:
- Re-instatement
- Forbearance
- Repayment Arrangement
- Loan Modification
- Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure
- Short Sale
All these options will effectively stop foreclosure. However, you should make sure that all terms and conditions of the agreement will be in writing. This will protect you from any misunderstanding and confusion.
You should also keep in mind that many lenders will have to agree to all the terms and conditions included in the agreement. This means that during the negotiation, things like junior liens are discussed.
For the short sale option, you should know that there are certain requirements that should be met before the lender agree to this particular option. These include missed mortgage payments for at least two months and proof of financial difficulty.
Since facing foreclosure means being under time pressure, you will have to determine as soon as possible which option is ideal for your situation. It would be best if you scrutinize your finances and prepare the necessary documents before you head to your lender to discuss your foreclosure options. Lastly, you should not wait until the last minute to communicate with your lender.

WASHINGTON -- My wife says I'm the most clueless person in America.
I never anticipated the extramarital affair between David Petraeus and Paula Broadwell, the woman I'd worked with for 16 months on a book about Petraeus' year commanding the war in Afghanistan. On rare occasions, her good looks and close access would prompt a colleague to raise an eyebrow about their relationship, but I never took it seriously.
I certainly wasn't alone. The unusually close relationship between subject and biographer was no secret by the time President Obama nominated Petraeus as CIA director in the summer of 2011 following his command year in Kabul. America's most famous and heralded general had granted Broadwell extraordinary access for her book, All In: The Education of General David Petraeus. Nor has Broadwell done anything to hide this access or her great admiration of Petraeus since the book was published in January, describing him in terms that are, well, effusive.
So when the news broke that Petraeus was resigning in disgrace because of an adulterous affair, I was dumbfounded. "Could it be Paula?" my friends and colleagues asked immediately. Even then, I said I would give her the benefit of the doubt — until the doubt evaporated a few hours later.
I came by my ringside seat on this epic Washington scandal innocently enough: In July 2010, I got a call from my agent, Scott Moyers in New York, who wanted to know whether I was interested in ghostwriting a war book about Petraeus, who had just been named commander in Afghanistan. I'd just finished ghostwriting a CIA memoir that Scott had represented.
He described his other client, with whom I'd be working, as a woman who had unique access to Petraeus. She was, in Moyers' telling, a dynamo — a West Point graduate who'd worked in counterterrorism after Sept. 11 and was pursuing a Ph.D. at King's College in London. It sounded like an incredible opportunity.
As Pentagon correspondent for The Washington Post, I had briefly embedded with the 101st Airborne Division under Petraeus' command in northern Iraq in the fall of 2003, and found the general — and what he'd accomplished — impressive and inspiring. Mosul, and much of his sector in the north, were largely pacified, and Petraeus granted me unfettered access to his command headquarters and his battalion commanders. We even went running together around one of Saddam's demi-palaces in Mosul, where his command was bivouacked.
The fact that I was a runner seemed to Moyers to make me the perfect fit for the job. He joked, when he was introducing me to Broadwell, that I was the only ghostwriter who could run with Petraeus — and with Broadwell. Both were ultra-competitive distance runners who prided themselves on speed, and both could do hundreds of push-ups.
I flew to Charlotte and spent an afternoon sifting through an impressive pile of e-mails and documents on Broadwell's dining room table that she had already compiled as part of a Ph.D. thesis she was writing on Petraeus and his approach to leadership, which he had agreed to help her with after they met at Harvard a few years earlier.
What was she like? Professional, relaxed and clearly excited about the material she had for me in her big, comfortable house in a stately North Carolina neighborhood. She spoke with great affection about her husband, a surgical radiologist whom she'd met in the military, and her two young sons, whom she clearly adores.

The finger pointing has -- of -- Facebook's IPO troubles investors are blaming Morgan Stanley NASDAQ and FaceBook itself what happened.
Joining the company now this is safe for us ladies and -- Eric -- -- almost all of the five on the Fox News Channel and today.
Because it's his first appearance -- bonding company he is wearing a tie thank you very much that's -- live at the time is very grateful -- so goes the.
The total of about the IPO that's FaceBook IPO -- I was involved in several IPOs -- took a nymex public I was on the board of directors of of at the time the third largest IPO in history.
And what the way IPOs works -- it is -- decided take on a big company -- bring your shares public to sell shares that it took to the public sector.
What their next happens is there's a dog and pony show you going in big -- the temperature for your shares of your stock you find out.
Who's going to buy the investors you know the big banks the pension funds etc.
it's -- And then you come up with a valuation a price and -- -- shares floating.
This is what the valuation -- trying to hit that number can actually little graphic here but people -- -- the board got you trying to hit this number.
On the spot sell pub we have this relative to -- and -- this number on the spot if after an IPO the shares rise dramatically you've missed price that because you -- -- too low.
More demand for this chair shares and you thought what happens is the company loses because the companies going to be involved -- -- sell their shares.
At get the valuation the lower price and then they rally but the investors who jumped in.
Are thrilled with the because -- innocent bystanders date date participate on the way up.
On the converse if the opposite happens where after the IPO shares dropped dramatically you've missed price that is well -- priced -- too -- -- value the company to high.
But we just what happens the company wins so the company sold shares at -- higher valuation he investors jumped in bought the shares from the company.
Are left hole on the back on the higher price -- so the company -- low -- -- -- which by the way so I sent out an email Friday afternoon sank.
While perfectly priced IPO because it ended the day where it started at the IPO price.
When it didn't know.
Is that behind the scenes there were quite a few banks cut.
Some of the underwriters who didn't want what's called a broken IPO which means should be settled below its IPO price.
They didn't want it to -- broken so they supported the shares of promise.
Nobody I mean nobody is bigger than the markets certainly took a couple of days couple hours we realize that they were there -- because one of our holdings shares up and they fell apart.
So to sum -- up the -- Was FaceBook itself -- you -- all money company and all the insiders at the company to lose will the banks which supported this thing in the first place.
And the people who got this off at 38 dollars a share and the -- -- -- the stock on Friday the boldest Australia lost yet the NASDAQ lost to us that this stock trading organization.
They lost because.
I didn't have a good system in place -- know what IPO nymex guys throwing in the structure of when we got here at nymex we did and New York Stock Exchange which is a special assistant to human -- saying thanks defy human beings we're supposed to open at 930 guess what -- -- 930 we want ready because there was influx of buying coming it's a wait and hold off.
So the specialists weighted at 10 o'clock they waited at 1030 they waited around 1045 to sit.
OK I think we have balance of buyers and sellers at a price at a value.
And they met and guess what is a very orderly opening the stock rose a little bit on the first day but nothing dramatic and it didn't really.
Eat in other words the human element added to the system okay now you you know thing or two about investing.
Sir would you think that that let's suppose you bought this thing -- thirty dollars and ship.
As a long -- prospect and I think there's a lot about viewers who've been looking -- the long term prospect get on the ground floor of a great American company brand new industry.
Get on the ground full study dolls -- shaft would you consider -- a good long term investment I think so I actually think even buying here a little bit I wouldn't -- you know if you wanna say.
I want 5000 dollars invested in FaceBook.
I don't need to put a thousand dollars a work here maybe another thousand dollars -- work if it goes a little bit lower if it goes higher put another thousand so spread your investment over our price range.
FaceBook -- 900 million users if they figure out a way to monetize it even more than they are right now can't tell -- that you cannot make money -- pull money in from 900.
That's -- intellectuals of that 45%.
This I would say -- I don't think its stock is perfectly priced on IPO -- breaks even.
I think there's something the reputation of the stock -- and halted for very very long time.
I think that this company was in a position -- to to get the benefit of the doubt another word today at a -- -- without -- ultimately bring because ultimately that's what was.
This was the ultimate sign of grief from FaceBook who -- they didn't care about IPO who -- they don't care about not a public company I.
Great are you kidding me -- and -- does not let let -- -- of my point then.
I'll tell you won't see are -- because there was enormous infusion.
From all over the past year and they thought.
But he thought that they could set this thing -- at 38 cents a -- more shares on the market that's right it is carried away hello infusing capital this coming march shares coming on the market but again I.
Different allergy what let me the president good morning wasn't that -- probably not -- -- you -- hindsight now it's down yeah.
What appetites and I hope people that that's I'm -- -- say it's gonna bubble in the first I don't know guidance it looked and.
-- -- that we -- Friday about the box of further Friday morning -- don't buy the stock right I did this -- exhibit -- expected to close -- 45 and you gonna come down from -- the -- was you can never could figure -- god -- -- I'm trying to -- -- -- to make people at what point I'm just saying that.
As the -- got hot as a road show got hot the bankers on the phone with FaceBook saying listen guys you can take the price up and you can offer more -- to your point.
So they get the maximum that they could not find maybe the company wins but I think for a company that says they don't care and that there to put a public good big -- -- take it's -- okay now what will go IPO thirty even though we can get 38.
Because we want the public to get the price do we want the public to be our partners on this I think that's -- Menem's with the remediation north and their reputation as a hot this.
The major red flags on and indeed quality of their dollar on slightly.
Doesn't even get through the fact that it kept bouncing off the 38 dollars a share old they've Friday with a huge red -- here suggested and I -- -- stepping into the map.
Oh I did this a -- companies public it was involved and I -- That are -- I'll admit I was here before long if it's up nine dollars -- my PO price you think it was about a poorly priced IPO still I I would like this -- a ten to 15% from the close -- -- -- -- -- investors make money it's a good it's -- present that's not -- but let me that means that means that FaceBook -- okay undervalued -- how it's really majority that -- company's public did you -- in that much retail interest.
When he was -- it.
It can sell what price -- all -- what I was there and they were right.
What -- speculative money you know until academics I don't interesting on Friday could balance -- not that well I don't know.
-- I I also told people to stay away from -- stock I'm not pumping space was stopped not simply say.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I expect totally lost control of my own program he's -- my -- on bond.
-- -- -- -- better yeah.

Being a virtual personal assistant, of course Siri can take a note! In fact, Siri can not only take a note, but update them as well. If you need something that's more permanent than a reminder, something more like an idea you don't want to forget, or a draft you want to get down while you're driving, Siri and the Notes app are the perfect combination.

General Motors has announced that it will be the first vehicle manufacturer to integrate Siri into its cars. It will include support for Siri in its new Chevrolet Spark and Sonic models which will be available in early 2013. Siri Eyes Free was announced back in June at WWDC and offers an easy way for car manufacturers to integrate Siri into their vehicles; the new comes from The Next Web
Siri isn't just another voice control system, it remembers context and it can understand relationships. That means, for example, you can tell Siri to call your wife's iPhone, and Siri will know who that is and which phone number to dial. Not only that, Siri can send iMessages or SMS, and even email any of your friends, family, or co-workers. No matter how you like to communicate, Siri makes it incredibly easy to stay in touch.
Siri ties right into the iOS Clock app on your iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPad 4, iPad mini, and iPod touch 5, which means if you want to be woken up at 7am, have a timer set for 10 minutes so the cookies don't burn, or find out what the hour is in Australia before you call, Siri can keep you alerted and on time.
What could be more exciting than controlling your in-home lighting from your iPad? Yep, you guessed it, controlling you in-home lighting with your voice through the use of Siri. That is now a possibility thanks to developer Brandon Evans who has worked out a way to control the recently launched smart lighting system from Philips.
Siri is one of Apple's flagship features, a virtual, personal, digital assistant with a personality straight out of a Pixar film. If you've got an iPhone 5, iPod touch 5, iPad mini, or iPad 4, then you've got Siri! With Siri, you can do all sorts of amazing, time-saving things, from keeping in contact, to keeping on time, to keeping informed. But first, you may need to get Siri set up and up to speed.
Here are a few things you can do to help Siri along and shorten the learning curve for both of you.
Apple is currently looking for a few good people fluent in Arabic, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, Korean, Norwegian, and Swedish to join the Siri team. Now, Siri is not compatible with a few of the languages on that list, including Swedish, Finnish, and Arabic, so it could well be that this is a sign of language support to come.
With Siri, you can shop for anything Apple right from your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or iPad mini. Get product info, pricing, and more with the Apple Store app, the press of a button, and the sound of your voice.
It's been over a year now since Siri launched alongside the iPhone 4S in October of 2011. When I first saw Siri, it seemed to have enormous potential as: 1) A natural language interface that may one day do to multitouch and graphics was they did to the command line; 2) thanks to that interface, a way for Apple to intermediate and broker search away from Google and towards parter content; and 3) by virtue of that intermediation and brokerage, a gateway into customer insight analytics.
On the client side, I've enjoyed the type of results Siri delivers enough, both in terms of content and presentation, to wish Apple would: 1) hook it into Spotlight so I could still use it when talking would be impossible or inappropriate, or the natural language parser wasn't available; and 2) fix it so the natural language parser wasn't so frequently unavailable. (Purple-dot-purple-dot-purple-dot-nothing is the mouse only randomly getting food.)
Since then, Apple has brokered deals for sports, restaurant, and movie knowledge bases in Siri, including the ability to start table reservations and, soon, movie ticket purchases right from within the service. However, also since then, Google has launched their competing Google Now service. And Google knows services the way Apple knows hardware and software. It offers on-device voice parsing, Google's industry-leading backend infrastructure, and goes a step beyond Siri by attempting to predictively provide information and answer questions before you even ask them.
Now, Apple has started hiring people away from Amazon to help with the service and, in the wake of a management re-ogranization, Siri has been given to Apple's "fixer", senior vice-president Eddy Cue to help set, or reset, its course going forward.
Because Siri is only as useful as its weakest server and slowest response, and both those things are going to need some serious attention.
Eddy Cue, Apple's Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services, is now really, truly in change of everything data and ecommerce driven at Apple, thanks to the recent management shakeups. That includes Siri and iOS 6 Maps, both of which have received negative feedback during their respective launches. And that's in addition to his continuing role as head of the iTunes, iCloud, and App Stores.

To the Editor: Recently, I viewed the 1991 film, "The Doctor," starring William Hurt. Cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr. Jack MacKee, develops throat cancer and experiences what it is like to be a patient. Based on the book, "A Taste of My Own Medicine," by Dr. Edward Rosenbaum (1), the story is about the physical and emotional toll of illness and the unwelcomed role-reversal of receiving rather than dispensing treatment.
I first saw the movie more than 20 years ago. Although it made a significant impression on me then, it took my own medical condition, something that lacked both the urgency and terror of cancer, to reawaken an interest in this well-done film, which is as relevant today as it was when it was first released.
An L4–5 lumbar disk introduced me to the patient-side of chronic pain. Ten months of intractable sciatic distribution pain, culminating in an inability to sit, eventually required surgery.
In the past, I was prone to conflating patients with chronic pain with their disease. That is, sometimes I thought of patients with chronic pain as "chronic pains." This was particularly the case when patients required narcotic pain medications. Unfortunately, I don't think this sentiment is rare among doctors or other healthcare providers. I had recently attended a professional conference on the topic of chronic pain. The speaker started his presentation with the question, "Who enjoys treating patients with chronic pain?" Not one hand went up.
To patients, this bias may seem inscrutable, even heartless. After all, who suffers more, someone with acute pain, where often a diagnosis is readily made, sympathy extended, and effective treatment rendered, or someone who languishes with a murky diagnosis where treatment options are elusive?
Although I was able to function, chronic pain had a corrosive effect on my quality of life, but in a way that was hard to quantify. Certainly, it seemed to defy conventional pain scales. Clueless, I always seemed to select the face in the middle of the continuum, the one with the sloping eyebrows and a straight-line "smile."
What I do know is that chronic pain made me afraid—afraid of illness, disability, death, and other things, too. I became more vigilant about the potential for accidents and violence. At baseline, I am a protective parent. This condition catapulted me to full-fledged "helicopter" status.
Also, whether through fear or another mechanism, chronic pain made me much less psychologically reflective. As a psychiatrist who has had the privilege of psychoanalysis, my training and experience prepares to think about things from different vantage points, on different levels. During my pain stint, this capacity all but vanished. It was as if my mental energy narrowed in an effort to conserve itself, allowing me to attend only to what was before me.
Finally, chronic pain made me more interpersonally reserved, even distant. Although I'm sure there were times I was curt or irritable, my common reaction was to be more pliant. I agreed to most everything, because I was unable to engage anything deeply.
Like the fictional Dr. MacKee, I resisted being ill and, though outwardly cooperative, I resented being a patient. Also, like Dr. MacKee, I grew professionally and personally from the experience. I know that I don't view patients with chronic pain the same way anymore. And I know that nothing enhances the relationship with patients more than their doctors and other healthcare givers meeting them where they are—in their fear, their loss, their disappointment.
Within clinical psychiatry, different types of writing exercises have been used to foster learning with medical students and resident physicians. As a requirement, third-year medical students at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center write a reflection paper on a topic of their choice drawn from their psychiatry clerkship experience (2). At Massachusetts General Hospital, junior psychiatry residents have used journal writing to comment on an occurrence, impression, dilemma, or countertransference feelings encountered while rotating on emergency psychiatry (3); and at Columbia University, a junior psychiatry resident elected to write imaginative narratives about three patients with severe and persistent mental illness. This exercise increased her empathy for and connection with her patients (4). Outside of psychiatry, within the larger medical profession, personal illness narratives have been used as a teaching tool to cultivate empathy in doctors-in-training (5).
But learning is a life-long process and does not conclude with medical school or residency; and some opportunities for learning do not present until middle- or even late-life. Independent of training requirements, physicians, perhaps especially psychiatrists, of any age, might find that engaging in reflective writing when they become ill can result in greater self-awareness and empathy.

I have a question that I could not find an answer for. Say I author some songs for another artist. How do I set it up for them to get paid for each sale and not me?
I have a question that I could not find an answer for. Say I author some songs for another artist. How do I set it up for them to get paid for each sale and not me?
All you need to do is have the artist submit the song to the RBN Creators Club under their name. That way, any relationship you have with them is kept between you two and they have the direct relationship with HMX as a result. There is some discussion in the beta right now regarding feedback on playtesting (more specifically who would receive it). Hopefully a function will be set up where any playtest feedback will be sent to both the Submitter of the song as well as the author of the song listed on the track.
Hope that answers your question!

Wouldn't that mean they would need an Xbox and an XNA subscription? That doesn't seem too convenient. Is there some sort of workaround?
Both XBL Gold and XNA are required to submit songs, and the submitter is the one who gets paid every 3 months. You can't set up the payments to go to a 3rd party, so you will have to distribute payment to the artist yourself if they do not want to go through the hassle of setting up and paying for XBL/XNA.
Thanks. I will let them know.
Edit: Do you need to be subscribed to receive payments, or can you just buy 4 months, submit the songs and not renew the account?
Last edited by Podruvan360; 12-15-2009 at 01:15 PM.
They won't need the xbox to submit the song if that helps them save $200.
You can also just set up in your agreement that you will pay them their portion every time you receive a payment from M$
guy. Thank you for Mac RBN tools, hmx!
That helps, but I would still like an answer for my question so I can weigh my options.

"The one who is coming after me is stronger than I am. I'm not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire."
Ministry of John the Baptist
3 In those days John the Baptist appeared in the desert of Judea announcing, 2 " Change your hearts and lives! Here comes the kingdom of heaven! " 3 He was the one of whom Isaiah the prophet spoke when he said:
4 John wore clothes made of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
5 People from Jerusalem, throughout Judea, and all around the Jordan River came to him. 6 As they confessed their sins, he baptized them in the Jordan River. 7 Many Pharisees and Sadducees came to be baptized by John. He said to them, " You children of snakes! Who warned you to escape from the angry judgment that is coming soon? 8 Produce fruit that shows you have changed your hearts and lives. 9 And don't even think about saying to yourselves, Abraham is our father. I tell you that God is able to raise up Abraham's children from these stones. 10 The ax is already at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be chopped down and tossed into the fire. 11 I baptize with water those of you who have changed your hearts and lives. The one who is coming after me is stronger than I am. I'm not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 12 The shovel he uses to sift the wheat from the husks is in his hands. He will clean out his threshing area and bring the wheat into his barn. But he will burn the husks with a fire that can't be put out. "

The Menu
Sledding noshes:
• The Gold Rush in a flask
• Homemade Cracker JackDinner:
• Pomegranate Olive Relish
• Various cheeses
• Rich and Meaty Lamb Ragu over pasta
• Shaved Fennel, Roasted Tomato, and Pistachio Salad
• Baguette for the table
• A bottle or two of Trader Joe's wineAfter dinner:
• Chocolate Chip Cookies
• Peppermint Coffee Toddies
The Scene
You, your gang of best friends, and a snowy hillside near your house. Sledding and snacks come first, followed by a lazy dinner while coats and boots dry out next to the radiator.
Make It Happen
I am a fan of bringing a flask to a sledding party, but fast speeds and straight-up spirits is maybe not the best idea. Try taking the middle path with a pre-made cocktail in a flask. Still boozy and fun, but slightly tempered. Try the Gold Rush with maple syrup instead of honey for a wintry spin, and make a batch of cracker jacks to munch while you wait your turn with the sled.
Back at home, we want to keep up the momentum and get dinner on the table as soon as possible. Make the ragu ahead (even the day or two ahead) and put it on the stove to warm as soon as you get in the door. While that warms and you cook the pasta, everyone can dig into a simple cheese board and an easy relish. I love a simple fennel salad with this dinner, which can also be made ahead and refrigerated until you need it.
For dessert, let's go old school with some chocolate chip cookies. Yum. A hot toddy also seems appropriate for the occasion, but I was torn between serving it first thing or with dessert. Maybe both?!
What else would you want for your sledding party?

Call ahead and have them arrange for the airport shuttle, half price of taxi and no great delay. Friendly and eager to help staff, were able to store luggage for early arrival and start our museum hopping and restaurant sampling in Istanbul. Breakfast was simple but adequate and was included to the rather reasonable room price. The only negative was the room size, which was very cramped, bath and shower tiny! However, clean , with free WiFi. The location more than made up for the cramped accommodations, waling distance from Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi, Grand Bazaar. Fun and safe to discover the old city Would recommend staying, but would consider the deluxe rooms for an additional 30 Euros/day if room comfort is important.

The location is fantastic and the design as well, I was on honeymoon trip we need a room a king size bed 1st we shocked once we saw 2 beds besides one another so easily you can fall on the ground!! but the most things which upset me before departure is when the reception guy ask me to pay for extra charges for soft drink from mini bar which we didn't touch or use!!! and then start to cry if we didn't pay for it he will pay I told him it not my mistakes we never touch or use it, anyway I was to hurry to catch my plan I pay but I promise to never back again, the stuff was miserable.

October 1, 2007 The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has seen a decrease in the number of admissions to its isolation unit in Kampungu, a village of 9,000 inhabitants which is the epicentre of the outbreak of Ebola hemorrhagic fever in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). "Two of the three patients admitted over the last week have tested positive for Ebola," says Dr Michel Van Herp, MSF epidemiologist. "We are close to controlling the Ebola outbreak. But we remain vigilant because the virus is still circulating in some of the neighbouring villages. And since the incubation period for Ebola can be up to three weeks there may still be infections in people around who have not yet developed any symptoms." The three patients currently followed by MSF's medical team are the latest of 32 admissions since early September. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 384 suspected cases have been reported since the beginning of May, including 176 deaths. Out of 53 blood samples taken, 24 tested positive. Other diseases in this region of the central Congolese province of West Kasai include malaria, shigella, and typhoid fever. Ebola hemorrhagic fever is an extremely contagious disease, for which there is no vaccine or cure. The Zaire-type of Ebola kills 70 to 90% of those infected. MSF's activities focus on isolating people infected with the virus, re-hydrating them, and easing their pain, which helps some patients recover. In order to contain the outbreak, it is also important to search for other cases and to trace those who have been in contact with people suspected of being infected. "A reduction of the disease's transmission chain was made possible by these measures and by carrying out safe burial practices," adds Dr Van Herp. "Collaboration with a laboratory installed in Luebo, 16 km north of Kampungu, by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) also makes diagnosis possible in 24 hours." The first MSF team arrived on September 2. Currently, 17 international specialists and nearly fifty Congolese colleagues have set up two isolation units in Kampungu and in Luebo. MSF is working alongside the Congolese authorities, WHO, and other organizations. In around twenty villages located within a radius of thirty kilometers around Kampungu, MSF visits health structures every day. The team has trained health staff and distributed medicines and protective material as the virus spreads easily through body fluids those caring for the sick are at extreme risk. In addition, 35 community workers have been trained to get information about prevention across to the population. Some very isolated villages remain difficult to reach, such as Tchitala and Kalombayi, where suspected cases of Ebola have been recorded. MSF's logistics team and the community are rehabilitating bridges and trails in order to better facilitate transport for those in urgent of transport to the isolation units. |

A new twist - INGO vacancy ads with LTTE obituaries |
Friday, 07 November 2008 | |
"Efforts to mislead Wanni youth into the LTTE recruitment drive unravelled."Major concerns have arisen among defence and humanitarian aid circles following a startling revelation made by the security forces now operating deep inside the LTTE territory in Kilinochchi. The findings have given cause for reasonable suspicions of the sort of 'humanitarian' activities conducted by some famed INGOs for years in the non-liberated Wanni region. According to available evidence, it appears that the local propaganda newspapers, published by the LTTE, carried advertisements from international aid and relief organizations such as the ICRC, Save the Children and the Danish Refugee Council for vacancies in their organizations, alongside LTTE obituaries for its terrorist cadres, in the Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu districts. "We are greatly concerned with this as the LTTE might have used the INGOs to shield its recruitment drive and lure youth for interviews and later to be abducted in due course," a defence observer said. The positions advertised by the ICRC, Save the Children and Danish Refugee Council are for: Field officer, Project officer and Radio operators in Kilinochchi. Defence analysts are not ruling out the possibility that some agents or individual members of these organizations, that are supportive of the LTTE, may have placed these advertisements in order to both attract youth to the dwindling LTTE cadres and also to fund the terrorist outfit, either locally or abroad, through these advertisements. One such analyst and observer of current developments and activities of INGOs and NGOs said this matter required a thorough investigation by the authorities concerned and explanations from these organizations. "What may unravel as troops surge further into LTTE territory might be more interesting," he said, adding, "no wonder the terrorists are furious with the military domination in fear of more revelations that would surely put these agencies on the spotlight and demand 'explanations", and "clarifications," he further said. Recently, the government took pro-active measures to relocate INGOs and many aid agencies in safe quarters in Vavuniya, following clear assessments obtained of the possible danger to workers of these organizations from the LTTE. The government's decision has minimized collateral damage and denied the LTTE 'aid canopies,' which it had used on many an occasions to divert aerial attacks. Earlier, it was found that LTTE terrorists have taken heavy earth moving vehicles, trucks, tractors and several land cruiser jeeps from the Norwegian Peoples Aid (NPA) in Kilinochchi, which was reported to the defence authorities much later, and it was said that these were taken forcibly. Defence.lk will continue to keep a watch for such developments and keep you posted. The LTTE obituary notices for its cadres and the INGO advertisements for vacancies are published below.

Have It Your Way
Building your own pizza makes for a good lunch
At UTW, we review relatively few chain or franchcise restaurants, concentrating instead on purely local establishments. That shouldn't be surprising: we are a locally-owned paper dedicated to building up Tulsa. We emphatically don't want Tulsa to be just like every other mid-sized, Midwestern city. We want it to be our thing.
But there's another reason we usually review local places. We are a high risk, high reward paper. We militate against mediocrity in all its forms. Unlike eating at a mega-chain every week, where we know roughly how the food will turn out before we arrive, we choose local because our experience is more likely to be very good or very bad. I've eaten some of the best food I've ever had at locally-owned restaurants in Tulsa. I've also watched my wife spit into a napkin and chug water to get the taste out of her mouth.
Every once in a while, though, a chain or franchise is so good that it merits inclusion in our primarily local list. Top That Pizza is one such place. With about ten restaurants in Oklahoma, Texas, and Colorado, Top That has four locations in Tulsa and Broken Arrow. If the others are anything like the 5347 E. 41st St., Top That is definitely worth a visit.
The concept at Top That is that you build your own pizza. With a choice of eight sauces, ten cheeses, and nearly three dozen toppings, you can put as many or as few on as you want on your choice of three crusts.
In many ways, Top That is like a Subway. You choose your crust, your sauce(s), and then tell the clerk which toppings you prefer. In fact, in that sense, it's exactly like Subway.
After the clerk assembles your toppings, your pizza is baked for two or three minutes and then you're good to go!
Unlike most pizza places, you pay by the size of the pizza instead of the number of toppings. A 10" pizza is $6.99, while a 6" pizza is $4.99.
If you can't decide which toppings to have, Top That has a number of selections that can be made using the same fresh ingredients.
On my recent lunch visit, I felt a 6" pizza would be more of a snack. So I got a 10" Thai Breaker, which has Thai peanut sauce along with cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, and is topped with chicken, peanuts, scallions, julienne carrots, roasted garlic, and caramelized onions.
I'm a fan of Thai food, which is both sweet and spicy. The Thai Breaker pizza isn't at all spicy, but it captures the essence of the sweetness of Thai food. In a word, it was good. I particularly enjoyed the peanuts. My pizza was light and completely sufficient for a lunch on a workday.
Getting a sweet tooth, I tried one of Top That's desserts: an Oreo ice cream cake. Unlike the pizzas, these are premade. Still, they were good and small enough to eat at lunch without much guilt.
To be honest, the atmosphere is a bit bland. Perhaps because it is a franchise restaurant, there is no memorabilia or anything that would make you think that you are at a restaurant in Tulsa instead of Denton, Tex. or Colorado Springs.
However, the restaurant was clean and well appointed. The bright colors drove home how clean the place was. It was a good place to relax for a few minutes on my lunch hour.
Despite the relative featurelessness, Top That takes a couple of steps to spice up the atmosphere. First -- and most amusingly -- are the witty, semi-sexual quips on t-shirts the clerks wear. One former Top That employee I know wore his shirt -- reading "I Can Top That" -- to Tulsa Pride last summer. Another reads, "I do it my way." I found the shirts funny -- and you can buy similar shirts at the store.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention one other aspect of the atmosphere -- the soda machine. Imagine an old-timey Coke machine ... in Star Wars. Despite the classic appearance, the soda machine sports a touch screen giving you access to about 150 different types and flavors of soft drink. It's pretty cool -- even if you're just goofing around with it.
Top That doesn't have a wait staff: it has clerks who prepare your pizza. You're responsible for your own clean-up, drink refills, and so forth. It's therefore difficult to judge Top That's service as such.
Still, general friendliness goes a long way, and that's what I experienced. Because I ate lunch at Top That at 11am on a Tuesday, there was only one clerk. He asked if I'd ever eaten at Top That before; when I told him I hadn't, he explained the process. He made a crust recommendation for the type of pizza I wanted and didn't try to sell me extras. (We both geeked out about the soda machine a little bit.) I liked him.
The only negative thing I would say about the service was at a level of corporate policy rather than customer service. A sign on the door mentioned that Top That would not take responsibility for any contact a customer might have with food allergies. As the parent of children with food allergies, I understand that it's rarely possible for a restaurant to take as many precautions as are sometimes necessary. Still, it was jarring to see an announcement that the company wouldn't even try.
All the same, the tasty food and friendly service are reason enough to return to Top That. I will be there for lunches in the future.

I havent seen this posted anywhere so here goes. I know its only been about a week, but Im assuming everyone who purchased the NEW Ultima is using it. Im curious to find out your opinions of the product, especially those of you that have used the first version.
It may be too soon to tell, but my personal experiences so far have been positive. The first day I took it pre-workout and I noticed pronounced lethargy. Im assuming that was due to the magnesium, so I have been using it post-workout instead for this past week. Give my body a chance to adjust, then I will switch back to pre-workout.
The only thing I really FEEL from taking Ultima is a mild niacin like flush for about thirty minutes. That said, I have seen an increase in strength already, and since it is the only thing I have added to my routine, Im assuming thats due to the Ultima. Those precious last few reps are coming a lot easier. So far, so good.
How has it been treating the rest of you guys?

March 6, 2008 | 11:07 am
Posted by Mrs. Shoshana F
Why canât people seem to stay together? We invest time in their relationships. Applaud their triumphs as couples and mourn when things donât go well. So why is it that everyone is breaking up?
I blame the networks.
While my adorable hubby was out of town at a conference, I was able to enjoy watching the myriad reality shows that he watches with me. From the time he left, until the time he returned, two of the shows that we watch every week: "The Biggest Loser" and "Big Brother" went from couple-themed shows to solo shows. The two were even touted as being shows based on partnerships: NBCâs âBiggest Loser: Couplesâ and CBSâs âBig Brother: Tilâ Death Do You Part.â
On the NBC show, teams of friends (and one team of strangers) were working toward a common goal â good health. Their stories were inspiring; the way they worked together to accomplish something can teach any married or dating couple a lesson in loyalty.
The other show, what could be termed brain candy (something that feels good when you are in the moment, but makes you feel sick after), paired up strangers that CBS declared were âsoulmates.â Hardly—although it was fun to watch the drama and the make-out sessions.
But this week something happened.
The couples on both shows, who were voted off by their fellow cast members as couples, were split. âBig Brotherâ even dropped ââTil Death Do You Partâ and now just has a heart inside the showâs logo.
I understand the need to maintain ratings at any cost âbut would it have been so bad to allow the couple experiment to continue? Yes it would have meant a shorter season, but as Jack on one of my favorite shows, "Lost," says so often: âIf we don't live together, we die alone.â
In a previous blog post, I talked about a new ABC reality show called âHere Come the Newlyweds.â The concept was cute, but the kicker: the couples have to vote each other off. Last week they eliminated a pair who opted to take 10,000 over a guaranteed immunity. The other teams rationalized that they had the money already. At least ABC wonât be splitting up these pairs, I hope.
On Monday, the granddaddy of break-up shows, "The Bachelor" is having a âWhere Are They Nowâ special. We know where they are: Not together. Of the dozen bachelors and three bachelorettes there is only one â ONE â who is married to their âpick.â And even she was a reject from the showâs first season.
Hereâs a novel concept. Letâs have a show where couples start together and stay together and no one is kicked off. If you do well you get more points, but you donât have to leave.
The one show that comes close to this relationship nirvana is the CBS show âThe Amazing Race.â Couples have to work together, never are asked to sever their relationship and only are eliminated by their own doing.
Is the formula working? âThe Amazing Raceâ is the only Emmy-award winning show mentioned in todayâs post. You be the judge.

- 4 to 6 heads of Belgian endive
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- *1 egg yolk, at room temperature
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 6 tablespoons good olive oil
- 2 ripe Bartlett pears, halved, cored, and sliced
- 1/4 pound good Roquefort cheese
- 1/2 cup toasted walnut halves
Trim off the core end of each head of endive and slice it in half lengthwise. Cut out the cores, separate the leaves, and place 1 1/2 to 2 heads of endive on each plate.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, egg yolk, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Toss the pears with some vinaigrette and place on the endive. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the endive leaves to moisten them. Crumble the Roquefort onto the endive. Sprinkle with walnuts and serve at room temperature.
* Raw Egg Warning
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

Irving St Kitchen
Online Reservations
Everything about Irving Street Kitchen is top flight, from the food to the service to the ambience. The fried organic chicken was moistt and flavorful. The steak, according to my wife, was wonderful. I can still taste the delicious gravelox appetizer. Kudos!
Chicken and waffles in the perfect portion! And as always, amazing cocktails. No complaints here
Irving Street is one of the few places that take reservations for brunch. The food was great, portions a good size (not huge) and they had some healthy options. My only suggestion would be to offer a few more vegetarian menu options, like veggie sausage. The service was great and the Spanish Coffee was beyond spectacular. Will defiantly make this a regular brunch spot.
Very good service. Dishes were well prepared except for the salmon entree which was too salty. However the waiter sent it back to the kitchen and brought a less salty alternative.
Had dinner on Wed nite, busy place. Food was good (halibut entree & corn & ricotta cheese entree, pecan/peach pie). Service was slow & poor tho. Ordered half bottle of wine, received full bottle and charged for same. Lattes were cold, sent back to redo.
Extraordinarily knowledgable wait staff - explained preparations in great detail. Also did a nice job of pairing wine and food. Like the local favorites by the glass.
The food was great and our waiter was amazing! We were celebrating our anniversary and were greeted by champagne at our table. A great night!
Enjoyed the food and the service. The openness and decor didn't add anything to the experience. Recommendations from the waiter were helpful and we enjoyed the way the meals were prepared.
Pleasant atmosphere; teamwork apparent based on attention to patrons; appetizers prepared in a separate, patio-style kitchen in plain view next to the bar; chef willingly shared recipe for spicy smoked tomato bisque.
Had been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and finally did with guests in town. We all enjoyed our food and had a variety of entrees. Food was delicious and the atmosphere is terrific. Service was just OK, waiter seemed distracted and in a hurry around us even though they were not yet busy. A recommendation for a side dish was accepted even though it turned out the entree already came with the side dish.
What a great place!! Had fish, and it was perfect. Everything was so flavorful and well prepared. The server forgot our appetizers, but we still had a great meal. Very noisy, but cool atmosphere. Expensive, so only an occasional visit back.
We met for a very casual dinner meeting and were surrounded by a bachelorette party and couples enjoying a night together. Chinook salmon over pilaf was very well presented and our server was abundantly patient. Thank you for a nice night
Ok...as you can tell from my recommendations above that we liked/loved this place. First time visit to Portland for a few days, & we not only had dinner one night, but returned 2 more times for drink & a light snack! Eric took care of us so very well during dinner & Leah came to our rescue in guiding us to the perfect Oregon Pinot. Daniel at the bar had the best smile & knowledge of the unique process of pouring a glass of wine via their one-of-a-kind system. So far as the meal, our salmon & halibut were incredibly fresh & cooked perfectly, the grilled watermelon & heirloom tomato salad was exquisite. We were too stuffed for dessert but of course ordered two! The butterscotch pudding was divine as well as the flour less chocolate cake.
This place was amazing! I loved everything about it. Our server was friendly, knowledgable, and knew when to make her presence known and when we wanted to be left alone. The salmon I had was cooked perfectly, and tasted as if it was a fresh catch that very day. My boyfriend had the seafood dish with squid ink risotto, and it was also delicious! If you haven't been there, you should definitely try it!
Irving St. staff was efficient, nimble and perceptive. It is a well-organized restaurant.
We shared charcuterie to start. I had the Green Goddess salad (yummy, garlicky punch), husband had foie gras club, which he is still talking about (it was delicious). Dinner was Halibut for me (fantastic, fish cooked perfect, loved the succotash), husband had the bacon wrapped rabbit (also delicious). Service was very good and knoweldgeable. Highly reccomend this spot for a foodie dinner!
My husband and I tried this restaurant for the first time last Friday night. We loved it. Lively but not crazy atmosphere, terrific service, excellent food. We shared the charcuterie board to start - well-thought out and delicious selection, from lamb paté to mortadella, with pickled veggies on the side, then we had the perfectly seasoned squid ink risotto with mussels and the sea bass. Finished our meal by sharing the rich, layered butterscotch pudding, now my favorite restaurant dessert ever. We'll be going back.
Eight of us had dinner on Sunday night and we were all raving about the flavors of the salads and entrees from the Kale Salad to the Porchetta.
Good food Good wine selection Overall a very pleasant dining experience!
I was in a jet lagged fog when I went to Irving Street Kitchen, but few things stood out for me. The grilled watermelon and heirloom tomato salad was fantastic-what an inventive mix of flavours. And the butterscotch pudding. I live in London and had been out with friends the night before this trip. We wandered into a store that stocks a lot of American products and saw boxes of Jello pudding. For about $10.00! Ouch. And then, there it was on the menu, and so much better than Jello that I practically licked the jar clean. And many thanks to the lovely host who remembered that I had an umbrella, even when I didn't, and made sure I left with it.
What a great experience, again! Each of the three courses were fabulous, from the salumi and cheese to start off, and the rabbit wrapped in bacon entree, to the amazing butterscotch pudding. Other guests noted the halibut and steak were great too. I've never been let down here.
While the food was quite good, it was expensive for what you got. For example, $9 for a "bowl" of soup that was poured out of a small "Creamer" that you'd generally serve with coffee. Equivalent of four spoonfuls. Service was spotty. I asked for an amber and got an IPA. Our waiter got lost for long periods of time. The blackened salmon was delicious as were the fried brussel sprouts. Too much oil though on the bottom of the dish. Overall nice but I would think twice before going again given other choices in the Pearl.
Went for dessert around 10p. It was the perfect combination of fun and relaxing. The pecan skillet pie was so excellent that we ordered another one to go!
All of our dishes we fresh and full of flavor. Bravo to Irving St. for keeping the menu interesting but not too quirky. Other restaurants in PDX should take pointers from them. Or course the butterscotch pudding is to die for.
That's it ... just "excellent". The service was impeccable; the waitress was knowledgable and friendly, but didn't intrude; the greeter was charming; and the food was delicious!
Finding a good restaurant that services dinner at 9 pm on a Sunday night is not easy, but thankfully with the OpenTable search I came across Irving St Kitchen. The food was very good and the portions just right (not too big, not too small), and the pricing was appropriate. The staff was friendly and the server was particularly helpful with her entree suggestions.
I decided to have my yearly fix of fried food, and enjoyed both the oysters and the fried chicken. Eric, the waiter, was helpful in his recommendations. The butterscotch pudding with salted caramel (to go, in a small Mason-jar-inspired container) was a treat when I had it a couple of hours later.
Even with multiple food allergies we were able to have a fantastic meal thier wait staff is extreamly knowledgeable and the kitchen is fantastic in making sure the overall flavor of the food is not ccompromised
My daughter, 18, doesn't like pork chops, BUT she LOVED yours. They were so good. Whatever I had was good, but I don't even remember what it was. All I remember is the pork. Service was great and the ambience was friendly and warm. It was a great evening to sit outside. The spiced dessert with ginger and poached pears was excellent.
Irving Street Kitchen is definitely a place my wife and I will visit again. The menu options were wide ranging, and very unique. I wouldn't say I loved the food, but it was good, and just new/interesting. Atmosphere in this place, and service--top notch! Couldn't compliment our waitress and other wait staff enough. Very knowledgeable and attentive. We also sat next to book cases, which we thought was cool, and different. There is also a fireplace near the bar area, which I hope to find open one of these nights, especially as fall/winter season kicks into its coldest time.
Everything was delicious and I would have marked higher on the food rating except my wife's chicken was not cooked enough. The chicken put her off when red blood ran out of it as she cut into it.We felt uncomfortable bringing the issue up as everything was delicious up to that point.
Cocktail chilled just right, eggs hot, potatoes and toast hot! Service was outstanding.
Terrific menu and great space. Staff extremely friendly and knowledgable. Leah is a great sommelier. Service is a little slow. Overall a restaurant I'll put on my short list.
Just outstanding..... You will not be disappointed.
Irving Street Kitchen is really pretty and the food selection was just right. Not too many choices but enough variety for everyone. They have created a great atmosphere inside. I was with a group of 9 and our reservation was at 10 AM which is when they open, so it took a little longer than I'd like to get the food to us, but the service was friendly. I'd go back. The bloody Mary was definitely a winner.
We just went for a dinner this past Sunday night and were completely blown away. How did we not know about you earlier?!!The squid ink risotto is sublime! Loved everything about it from the décor to the wine list. Can't wait to come back and try something else. Superb!
Our whole experience was great until we got home. We opened up the leftover pork the following day to enjoy it and found instead squash. Which neither of likes. Yuck! So . . . be sure to check and see that you are given the correct doggie bag!
Great dinner night for 4 friends at 8pm Saturday. The four of us had a variety (Squid Ink Risotto-Mussels-Clams, Dusted Scallops, Fried Chicken, Meatballs). All delicious. Everyone was happy with their choice and also jealous upon tasting across the table. It was our first time and we will be back. Loved the curtains around the booths-tables - because even if you don't close them, just the possibility adds a nice touch. Service was very helpful and friendly.
Our family dinner at Irving St Kitchen was memorable in every way, starting with our warm welcome when we showed up early. The host seated us in a comfortable waiting area and offered to bring us water; he also took our bulky coats (gave us a ticket to retrieve them later, too.) The decor here is a whimsical mix of vintage, modern, and rustic. There's a large selection of wine on tap, but unlike most restaurants, this selection is wonderful! We enjoyed a carafe of a white blend and later another red blend, both unexpected and delicious. The food was likewise very interesting, both in ingredients and presentation. We loved out perfectly prepared salmon, tiny quail, intriguing sauces, beet agnollotti, and mysterious biscotti.
Everything about our visit was great but the waiter was particularly knowledgeable and professional and made the visit even better. Food was inventive and great. Loved the sustainable wine policy.
Our recent trip to Portland was to eat our way through the City. Irving Street K was the best. The cocktail was perfectly prepared, especially the Broken Negroni. The Red Eye gravy was so amazing my sister ate it with a spoon- I recommend eating it on the jalapeño butter biscuits. Sweet potato burger with slaw was superb. Chef Sarah is brilliant, perfectly run kitchen, I would eat there everyday !
I had the best Brussels Sprouts in my life!!! I love the Ambience! I will be going back!
The services was great. Our server LOVES her job and was so excited to answer our questions about the menu. The food was great. Always a crowd pleaser. I usually take out-of-towners and it is a home run 100% of the time.
Irving Street is our go-to for out-of-town guests, always guaranteed to deliver excellent foods prepared in unique ways that capture Portland. Tonight's meal was no different. The squid-ink risotto was rich and velvetty, with a perfect blend of shellfish. The salmon was perfect. The beet agnoletti made a beet lover out of my wife -- who normally cannot stand them. Thank you very much!
Fantastic service, waiter knew the menu to great detail.
Very good food. Perfectly cooked salmon, fried chicken, and agnolotti! Great dessert. Wine list was competent, but not extraordinary. We were seated in the middle of the room, but didn't mind, since it's that kind of place. Lots of romantic and/or friendly energy. If you want more private seating, little stowaway booths with curtains, call well ahead! Waiter could've been less pretend-friendly, but, hey, this is hard work and a hard business. Kudos to the chef!
Go! Great service, food, etc..Loved it and want to go back to try another cocktail and other items on the menu. Loved that it is open late and never once did we feel rushed. The attentive and friendly, yet professional service was marvelous, and rare these days.
You will love the Irving St. Kitchen's menu & original cocktails! A delightful evening. One of the best meals we had on our trip to Portland!
What a gem! Rates up there with the likes of Ox, Ned Ludd, and Higgins. Our server was nothing short of excellent; you could feel he was genuinely passionate about the food. Which was amazing. Everything that ended up on our table was mind-blowingly good. I had the trout and will never be the same.
I really loved the food and variety. The Bloody Mary was top-notch. The servers were all good looking, but none of them could smile, nor did they have any 'normal' communication skills or warmth. They should all go to Mcminemins and work with the less good looking, but complete lack of service skilled folks. I also was annoyed at the really loud 'background' 80s music they played for brunch????

Experimental Jetset Q&A
Great interview with Experimental Jetset at Unit Editions:
We were recently watching West Side Story, a musical we've seen a million times before, but only now realized that the gang in the movie was called The Jets. 'When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way/From your first cigarette to your last dying day'. Childish maybe, but it gave us a boost of energy.
Most graphic designers become graphic designers because they have an urge to make work that they can call their own. Is it possible to satisfy this need within a studio of three equals?
We can call all our work our own, because the three of us have an important input into it. In our view, that's one of the advantages of being a two-, three- or four-person studio: it's small enough for everybody to feel involved, but it's large enough to have the benefit of the collective; that magical feeling when the whole turns out to be more than the sum of parts.
We really like that idea of hundreds of small studios circling the orbit, almost like bands. Because we really think all these small design groups together form a universe that is very comparable to that whole galaxy of pop and rock groups. …
Talking about bands, when it really comes down to it, we think that it is ultimately the band model, and not so much the studio model, that really inspires us. A band is such a perfect socio-economical unit. Large enough to have the benefit of shared responsibilities, and small enough for every member not to be alienated from the end product. We sometimes think every human activity should be organized according to this model. Society should be divided in small units, each unit a platform of human creativity, be it baking bread, making music, writing books or curing people.
And the archetypical band is, obviously, The Beatles, as it was one of the first modern four-piece bands writing their own material. Earlier bands were still divided between a frontman and a backing band (for example, Buddy Holly and the Crickets), but The Beatles broke this whole model open, and pointed to a completely different division of labour, a revolutionary change in thinking. The 'John & Paul & Ringo & George' shirt we designed in 2001 should certainly be seen as a homage to the archetypical model of the band.

Kudou Shinichi is an exceptional high school detective. While investigating one, he was caught by a pair of nefarious men in black that he was watching and forced to take a dangerous experimental drug. Leaving him for dead, the criminals disappear. Instead of being killed, the dangerous drug put him back to a little kid. To preserve the illusion of his disappearance, Shinichi adopts a new name based on his favorite author (Arthur Conan Doyle) and Edogawa Ranpo and becomes Edogawa Conan. Ran, his childhood friend, takes this little boy under her wing and brings him to her home. Conan now lives at a detective agency run by Ran's father, as he relies on the possibility that he may cross roads with the men in black again. His mind is as keen as ever and continues to solve all the cases that come his way, but always allowing Ran's moronic father to take all the credit. As far as everyone's concerned, Conan is just a little kid anyway, even to Ran. This is frustrating because nobody will listen to him. In spite of this, he has a mission: to put the criminals who did this to him behind bars and get the antidote to that drug. - From Animecrazy: Kudo Shinichi is a seventeen year-old high school detective whom people call the "Modern Sherlock Holmes." However, one night after a date with his childhood sweetheart, Ran, Shinichi witnessed an illegal trade and, caught off his guard, was knocked unconscious and fed a drug that was supposed to kill him... but he woke up and found himself shrunken to a seven year-old. In order to track down the men who did this to him, Shinichi hid his identity and lived with Ran, whose father happened to be a hopeless detective, and with that came a series of murders and mysteries that he must solve.
