I worked at Amazon.com full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Some of the smartest and passionate people you will meet. When Amazon talks about putting the customer first, it is not just talk. The entire focus of every team is figuring out how to serve their immediate customers better which in turn can be very exciting. The influence that a single person can have is great as high performers are able to take control of their career and do what they wish with it.
Cons – Some of the Microsoft-esque HR policies are infuriating. Pay is highly dependent on job family, which is silly when they encourage individuals to have an impact, regardless of job title/family.
The pay is not always going to be market level, especially if the stock is not doing well.
Advice to Senior Management – Get rid of the job family guidelines for top performers.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

- cGMP-dependent signaling pathways in spinal pain processing (2009)
- Oral presentation from 4th International Conference of cGMP Generators, Effectors and Therapeutic Implications ; Regensburg, Germany. 19–21 June 2009 Background: An exaggerated pain sensitivity is the dominant feature of inflammatory and neuropathic pain both in the clinical setting and in experimental animal models. It manifests as pain in response to normally innocuous stimuli (allodynia), increased response to noxious stimuli (hyperalgesia) or spontaneous pain, and can persist long after the initial injury is resolved. Research over the last decades has revealed that several signaling pathways in the spinal cord essentially contribute to the pain sensitization. To test the contribution of cGMP produced by NO-sensitive guanylyl cyclase (NO-GC) to pain sensitization, we investigated the localization of NO-GC in the spinal cord and in dorsal root ganglia, and we characterized the nociceptive behavior of mice deficient in NO-GC (GC-KO mice). Results: We show that NO-GC (β1 subunit) is distinctly expressed in neurons of the mouse spinal cord, while its distribution in dorsal root ganglia is restricted to non-neuronal cells. GC-KO mice exhibited a considerably reduced nociceptive behavior in models of inflammatory or neuropathic pain, but their responses to acute pain were not impaired. Moreover, GC-KO mice failed to develop pain sensitization induced by spinal administration of drugs releasing NO. Surprisingly, during spinal nociceptive processing cGMP produced by NO-GC may activate signaling pathways different from cGMP-dependent protein kinase I (cGKI), while cGKI can be activated by natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B) dependent cGMP production. Conclusion: Taken together, our results provide evidence that NO-GC has a dominant role in the development of exaggerated pain sensitivity during inflammatory and neuropathic pain. Furthermore, beside the NO-mediated cGMP synthesis, cGMP produced by NPR-B contributes to pain sensitization by activation of cGKI.
- R-flurbiprofen reduces neuropathic pain in rodents by restoring endogenous cannabinoids (2010)
- Background: R-flurbiprofen, one of the enantiomers of flurbiprofen racemate, is inactive with respect to cyclooxygenase inhibition, but shows analgesic properties without relevant toxicity. Its mode of action is still unclear. Methodology/Principal Findings: We show that R-flurbiprofen reduces glutamate release in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord evoked by sciatic nerve injury and thereby alleviates pain in sciatic nerve injury models of neuropathic pain in rats and mice. This is mediated by restoring the balance of endocannabinoids (eCB), which is disturbed following peripheral nerve injury in the DRGs, spinal cord and forebrain. The imbalance results from transcriptional adaptations of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and NAPE-phospholipase D, i.e. the major enzymes involved in anandamide metabolism and synthesis, respectively. R-flurbiprofen inhibits FAAH activity and normalizes NAPE-PLD expression. As a consequence, R-Flurbiprofen improves endogenous cannabinoid mediated effects, indicated by the reduction of glutamate release, increased activity of the anti-inflammatory transcription factor PPAR gamma and attenuation of microglia activation. Antinociceptive effects are lost by combined inhibition of CB1 and CB2 receptors and partially abolished in CB1 receptor deficient mice. R-flurbiprofen does however not cause changes of core body temperature which is a typical indicator of central effects of cannabinoid-1 receptor agonists. Conclusion: Our results suggest that R-flurbiprofen improves the endogenous mechanisms to regain stability after axonal injury and to fend off chronic neuropathic pain by modulating the endocannabinoid system and thus constitutes an attractive, novel therapeutic agent in the treatment of chronic, intractable pain.
- Presynaptically localized cyclic GMP-dependent Protein Kinase 1 is a key determinant of spinal synaptic potentiation and pain hypersensitivity (2012)
- Synaptic long-term potentiation (LTP) at spinal neurons directly communicating pain-specific inputs from the periphery to the brain has been proposed to serve as a trigger for pain hypersensitivity in pathological states. Previous studies have functionally implicated the NMDA receptor-NO pathway and the downstream second messenger, cGMP, in these processes. Because cGMP can broadly influence diverse ion-channels, kinases, and phosphodiesterases, pre- as well as post-synaptically, the precise identity of cGMP targets mediating spinal LTP, their mechanisms of action, and their locus in the spinal circuitry are still unclear. Here, we found that Protein Kinase G1 (PKG-I) localized presynaptically in nociceptor terminals plays an essential role in the expression of spinal LTP. Using the Cre-lox P system, we generated nociceptor-specific knockout mice lacking PKG-I specifically in presynaptic terminals of nociceptors in the spinal cord, but not in post-synaptic neurons or elsewhere (SNS-PKG-I−/− mice). Patch clamp recordings showed that activity-induced LTP at identified synapses between nociceptors and spinal neurons projecting to the periaqueductal grey (PAG) was completely abolished in SNS-PKG-I−/− mice, although basal synaptic transmission was not affected. Analyses of synaptic failure rates and paired-pulse ratios indicated a role for presynaptic PKG-I in regulating the probability of neurotransmitter release. Inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor 1 and myosin light chain kinase were recruited as key phosphorylation targets of presynaptic PKG-I in nociceptive neurons. Finally, behavioural analyses in vivo showed marked defects in SNS-PKG-I−/− mice in several models of activity-induced nociceptive hypersensitivity, and pharmacological studies identified a clear contribution of PKG-I expressed in spinal terminals of nociceptors. Our results thus indicate that presynaptic mechanisms involving an increase in release probability from nociceptors are operational in the expression of synaptic LTP on spinal-PAG projection neurons and that PKG-I localized in presynaptic nociceptor terminals plays an essential role in this process to regulate pain sensitivity.
- Current evidence for a modulation of low back pain by human genetic variants (2009)
- The manifestation of chronic back pain depends on structural, psychosocial, occupational and genetic influences. Heritability estimates for back pain range from 30% to 45%. Genetic influences are caused by genes affecting intervertebral disc degeneration or the immune response and genes involved in pain perception, signalling and psychological processing. This inter-individual variability which is partly due to genetic differences would require an individualized pain management to prevent the transition from acute to chronic back pain or improve the outcome. The genetic profile may help to define patients at high risk for chronic pain. We summarize genetic factors that (i) impact on intervertebral disc stability, namely Collagen IX, COL9A3, COL11A1, COL11A2, COL1A1, aggrecan (AGAN), cartilage intermediate layer protein, vitamin D receptor, metalloproteinsase-3 (MMP3), MMP9, and thrombospondin-2, (ii) modify inflammation, namely interleukin-1 (IL-1) locus genes and IL-6 and (iii) and pain signalling namely guanine triphosphate (GTP) cyclohydrolase 1, catechol-O-methyltransferase, μ opioid receptor (OPMR1), melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), transient receptor potential channel A1 and fatty acid amide hydrolase and analgesic drug metabolism (cytochrome P450 [CYP]2D6, CYP2C9).
- Progranulin contributes to endogenous mechanisms of pain defense after nerve injury in mice (2012)
- Progranulin haploinsufficiency is associated with frontotemporal dementia in humans. Deficiency of progranulin led to exaggerated inflammation and premature aging in mice. The role of progranulin in adaptations to nerve injury and neuropathic pain are still unknown. Here we found that progranulin is up-regulated after injury of the sciatic nerve in the mouse ipsilateral dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord, most prominently in the microglia surrounding injured motor neurons. Progranulin knockdown by continuous intrathecal spinal delivery of small interfering RNA after sciatic nerve injury intensified neuropathic pain-like behaviour and delayed the recovery of motor functions. Compared to wild-type mice, progranulin-deficient mice developed more intense nociceptive hypersensitivity after nerve injury. The differences escalated with aging. Knockdown of progranulin reduced the survival of dissociated primary neurons and neurite outgrowth, whereas addition of recombinant progranulin rescued primary dorsal root ganglia neurons from cell death induced by nerve growth factor withdrawal. Thus, up-regulation of progranulin after neuronal injury may reduce neuropathic pain and help motor function recovery, at least in part, by promoting survival of injured neurons and supporting regrowth. A deficiency in this mechanism may increase the risk for injury-associated chronic pain.
- Inter-strain differences of serotonergic inhibitory pain control in inbred mice (2010)
- Background: Descending inhibitory pain control contributes to the endogenous defense against chronic pain and involves noradrenergic and serotonergic systems. The clinical efficacy of antidepressants suggests that serotonin may be particularly relevant for neuropathic pain conditions. Serotonergic signaling is regulated by synthesis, metabolisms, reuptake and receptors. To address the complexity, we used inbred mouse strains, C57BL/6J, 129 Sv, DBA/2J and Balb/c, which differ in brain serotonin levels. Results: Serotonin analysis after nerve injury revealed inter-strain differences in the adaptation of descending serotonergic fibers. Upregulation of spinal cord and midbrain serotonin was apparent only in 129 Sv mice and was associated with attenuated nerve injury evoked hyperalgesia and allodynia in this strain. The increase of dorsal horn serotonin was blocked by hemisectioning of descending fibers but not by rhizotomy of primary afferents indicating a midbrain source. Para-chlorophenylalanine-mediated serotonin depletion in spinal cord and midbrain intensified pain hypersensitivity in the nerve injury model. In contrast, chronic inflammation of the hindpaw did not evoke equivalent changes in serotonin levels in the spinal cord and midbrain and nociceptive thresholds dropped in a parallel manner in all strains. Conclusion: The results suggest that chronic nerve injury evoked hypernociception may be contributed by genetic differences of descending serotonergic inhibitory control.
- Nerve injury evoked loss of latexin expression in spinal cord neurons contributes to the development of neuropathic pain (2011)
- Nerve injury leads to sensitization mechanisms in the peripheral and central nervous system which involve transcriptional and post-transcriptional modifications in sensory nerves. To assess protein regulations in the spinal cord after injury of the sciatic nerve in the Spared Nerve Injury model (SNI) we performed a proteomic analysis using 2D-difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE) technology. Among approximately 2300 protein spots separated on each gel we detected 55 significantly regulated proteins after SNI whereof 41 were successfully identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Out of the proteins which were regulated in the DIGE analyses after SNI we focused on the carboxypeptidase A inhibitor latexin because protease dysfunctions contribute to the development of neuropathic pain. Latexin protein expression was reduced after SNI which could be confirmed by Western Blot analysis, quantitative RT-PCR and in-situ hybridisation. The decrease of latexin was associated with an increase of the activity of carboxypeptidase A indicating that the balance between latexin and carboxypeptidase A was impaired in the spinal cord after peripheral nerve injury due to a loss of latexin expression in spinal cord neurons. This may contribute to the development of cold allodynia because normalization of neuronal latexin expression in the spinal cord by AAV-mediated latexin transduction or administration of a small molecule carboxypeptidase A inhibitor significantly reduced acetone-evoked nociceptive behavior after SNI. Our results show the usefulness of proteomics as a screening tool to identify novel mechanisms of nerve injury evoked hypernociception and suggest that carboxypeptidase A inhibition might be useful to reduce cold allodynia.
- The role of cGMP and PKG-I in spinal nociceptive processing (2005)
- First paragraph (this article has no abstract) Persistent stimulation of nociceptors results in sensitization of nociceptive sensory neurons, which is associated with hyperalgesia and allodynia. The release of NO and subsequent synthesis of cGMP in the spinal cord are involved in this process. cGMP-dependent protein kinase I (PKG-I) has been suggested to act as a downstream target of cGMP, but its exact role in nociception hadn't been characterized yet. To further evaluate the NO/cGMP/PKG-I pathway in nociception we assessed the effects of PKG-I inhibiton and activaton in the rat formalin assay and analyzed the nociceptive behavior of PKG-I-/- mice.

Ransom's name appears on a mailer voting guide titled "Attention: Republicans." It recommends Ransom alongside Republican Assemblyman and State Senate candidate Bill Berryhill and U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Emken, though campaign documents show Ransom has received cash donations from the Central Valley Stonewall Democratic Club and a bevy of union sources.
The mailer indicates a fee was paid for Ransom's name to appear.
One of her two competitors in the race, Tracy City Councilman Bob Elliott, recently appeared on a similar mailer touting Democratic candidates, including President Barack Obama and Senator Dianne Feinstein. Elliott has spoken at several events for local Republican candidates.
The board of supervisors race is technically a nonpartisan one, meaning no party affiliation appears next to names on the ballot.
Tom Benigno, who has identified Republican in several previous runs for office, faces Elliott and Ransom in today's primary vote.
If one of the three candidates receives more than 50 percent of the votes cast, he or she will win the seat. If no one passes that threshold, the top two vote-getters will compete in a runoff election Nov. 6.

Farah completes double dream
6:10pm Friday 16th August 2013 in National Sport News © Press Association 2013
Mo Farah completed a dream double-double by winning his second gold medal of the World Championships in Moscow to add to his twin Olympic triumphs.
The 30-year-old claimed the 5,000 metres title at the Luzhniki Stadium, producing another trademark lung-bursting kick down the home straight, just six days after racing to glory in the 10,000m.
He won in 13 minutes 26.98 seconds, crossing the line ahead of Ethiopia's Hagos Gebrhiwet.
Victory ensured he become only the second man ever after Ethiopian great Kenenisa Bekele to win both long-distance titles at the Olympics and the World Championships.
It took Farah's tally of global gold medals to five, having also won the 5,000m two years ago in Daegu.
Farah's rivals once again played into his hands with the slow pace, the Briton unleashing his kick with around 650m to go.
It looked at one point as if he might be caught, with several runners still in contention coming into the home straight, but Farah, his face contorted with effort, dug into his deepest reserves of energy to pull away and win by 0.28secs.
His last lap was timed at a typically rapid 53.51s.
Kenya's Isaiah Kiplangat Koech took bronze.
Farah dropped to his knees to kiss the blue Mondo track after crossing the line before embracing his coach Alberto Salazar.
Farah and his American training partner Galen Rupp were the only two athletes attempting the double, leaving their fresher rivals with a distinct advantage.
UK Athletics head of science Barry Fudge had said victory for the 30-year-old would be a "long shot" because of the toll winning the 10,000m crown would have taken on his body.
He managed it in London last summer, but on that occasion he had one extra day to recover.
Farah, though, is no ordinary athlete. Five athletes in the field had faster personal bests than him and seven had gone quicker than him this season.
But they simply cannot find a way to beat him on the big stage.
Full teams of Ethiopians and Kenyans attempted to do so in the 10,000m only to have no answer to his blistering final lap, and they fared no better here.
Olympic 10,000m bronze medallist Brendan Foster told BBC Sport: "After that victory tonight he is twice Olympic champion and three-times world champion.
"For my money he is the greatest athlete we've ever had in this country. He put himself at the front and he would not let them past."
The only thing now missing from Farah's resume is a world record. Bekele holds both over 5,000m and 10,000m with times of 12:37.35 and 26:17.53 respectively.
Paula Radcliffe, the marathon world record holder, added: "I am so proud of him. He totally believed and had confidence in what he was doing.
"He had to work and work and work. He managed to get to the front, where he wanted to be and where he wanted to control from, then it was all about holding his position."
Farah told BBC2: "It's amazing that Brendan and the team are saying great things about me. It's something I've worked so hard for and all I was thinking about was my kids and how much time I have been away from them.
"And all the hard work I have put in so I wasn't going to let that go. It's very difficult. They (his twin baby daughters) are growing so fast and I haven't been around for the last four or five months.
"They don't really recognise me so I'm looking forward to spending time with them."
Farah added: "It was a lot more hard work than last year. Alberto has done a great job for me. He made my career, I never thought I would achieve something like this. I know I work hard for it, but you need the right people and I'm glad I've got the right people.
"It was very tough, I thought the guys would have worked more as a team. I've had a lot of pressure, but at the same time I enjoy it. I am very proud to represent my country and hold the Union Jack."

The FBI is also offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrests and convictions of the persons responsible.
Police say two bank robbery suspects got away with an undisclosed amount of cash, but not before leaving a suspicious package behind.
Police say two men walked into the Zions Bank at 1420 South and 300 West Monday at about 11:30 a.m. and approached the teller window, demanding cash.
Two suspects entered the bank with hooded sweatshirts and ski type masks over their faces.
Police say the tellers complied and the men exited the bank, leaving a suspicious package behind.
Police and emergency officials evacuated the building before a bomb squad robot was used to detonate the package inside the bank. Police have determined the package was not a bomb but rather a box of Mrs. Freshley's Honey Buns.
The first suspect is described as an adult male, 6 feet to 6 feet 2 inches tall, wearing a dark colored hooded sweatshirt.
The second suspect is described as an adult male, 5 feet 8 inches to 6 feet tall, wearing a white hooded sweatshirt.
Police say the two suspects were still at large and the tellers were being questioned.
If you know the whereabouts of these suspects or information about these individuals you are asked to call the FBI at 801-579-1400 or the Salt Lake City Police Department at 801-799-3000.

i used to be a big reader. i devoured books at an incredible pace, one right after the other. i read so much and so quickly that i barely digested one story before i was halfway through the next. at some point this pace slowed. i blame a job on the internet for this one. now i'm lucky to read one book a year.
this year the book i'm reading is Jasper Fforde's Shades of Grey. I can't really explain the story, but it's pretty fascinating and fun so far. Fforde is really good at creating worlds that are slightly off from our own (okay really off from our own). This particular one threw you into the deep end though. Randall read it first and about 30 pages in I had to ask if it ever calmed down. Luckily the answer is yes, and once it calms down and the story starts to unfold, it's captivating. Here's hoping it ends well.

Leaflets Away!
In the Afghanistan countryside, you have to get information to the people somehow, so last Wednesday a U.S. Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey was tasked with flying over the Helmand province. It dropped a bundle of leaflets to let farmers know about Peace and National Unity Week, which included events like the International Peace Conference, where representatives from 30 nations came to speak about methods for resolving conflict in Afghanistan.

I would rate my summer a 7 because it was and tirering but i still had lots of fun. I got to hang out with my family and friends. The best thing that happened to me all summer was that I got to begin a book that I've been putting off and its starting to turn out great. Although I haven't gone to Branson yet, it stil something to look forward to. Then when I finally got to go to my most best friends house,we had so much fun! The rest of the summer i got to sleep in!

Sports editor puts on a new hat
You've seen him roaming the sidelines for many years. You've read his articles and his sports editorials. Sometimes you've probably nodded in agreement and other times winced in dissension as you took in his writings. If you've lived in Bureau County for any length of time, it is hard not to know of mild mannered BCR Staff Writer and Sports Editor Kevin Hieronymus.
Well this season, at least at girls' basketball games, you can watch Hieronymus in a different capacity. He will still serve as BCR sports editor and will continue to cover Bureau County sporting events. But many nights during this winter, Hieronymus will be leaving his voice recorder and laptop at the office and picking up the white board and dry erase markers as the head coach for the Princeton High School girls' varsity basketball team.
Hieronymus made his debut (Tuesday), a quite successful one at that. His Tigresses defeated a county foe, the LaMoille Lady Lions.

After World War I America replaced Britain and France as the strongest cultural force in the world. The shift resulted not only from America's financial power but from Europe's war casualties. Britain and France, as well as Germany, lost millions of their young men on the battlefields. Britain lost fifty thousand men on the first morning of the Somme battle in 1916. America's war losses were small in comparison to the slaughters of Ypres, the Marne, Passchendaele, Verdun, the Somme, and Gallipoli.
Two Currents.
The development of American arts in the 1920s represented the confluence of two currents: 1) European influence; 2) indigenous materials and forms of expression. Before 1920 American high culture imitated European models, and there was the reiterated lament that it was impossible for an American artist to function in America. This complaint was more frequently applied to painting, sculpture, and music than to literature. Henry James (1843-1916) spent most of his literary life abroad writing Europeanized novels. Although Mark Twain (1835—1910) went to Europe as a visitor, his work remained rooted in America. When he wrote about his travels, Mark Twain wrote from the American perspective. Painter James Whistler (1834-1903) went abroad in 1855 and stayed there. Stephen Crane (1871-1900) moved to England to distance...

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
A fire ripped through a home in Security-Widefield early Thursday morning, destroying the structure and killing one person.
The victim has been identified as a 64-year-old woman. No further details have been released.
The fire began just after 1 a.m. at a home on the 400 block of Cielo Vista Street and quickly engulfed the home. Five of the six occupants managed to escape, though three, including a 6-year-old boy, were injured.
Firefighters were able to get the smoke and flames under control within in an hour, but the heat remained so intense and the structure so unstable that crews were unable to go inside for several hours, either to search for the victim or to begin an investigation into the fire's cause. The house is a total loss.
The 6-year-old suffered from smoke inhalation, while a woman and a 15-year-old girl both sustained burn wounds to their arms and feet. All are expected to recover.
Two dogs that went missing during the fire were located and unharmed.
Firefighters from Security-Widefield and Fort Carson responded. The El Paso County Sheriff's Office told 11 News they are impressed with the firefighters' work, as with so many trees in the area and homes so close together, the fire could have easily spread.
The Pikes Peak Red Cross is assisting the family. Anyone who wishes to offer further help to the family can contact PPRC at 632-3563.

Unless you're a creditworthy sovereign nation, you've probably gone through life assuming that your can't borrow money from yourself. Well, thanks to the arcane rules surrounding 401(k) retirement accounts, you actually can—well, sort of. We keep these accounts cordoned off from the rest of our finances because they're tax-free until we cash them out, but just because you haven't paid taxes on it doesn't mean that it isn't your money. If need be—and most do not recommend it—you can borrow from your retirement savings and pay it back, with interest.
Generally speaking (the specific terms are set by your plan's sponsor), you can take out a loan of up to 50 percent of the balance of your retirement account, so long as it doesn't exceed $50,000, and typically these loans are paid back over a period of five years with automatic payroll deductions.
Like we said, however, this isn't considered a wise decision by most financial planners because there are lots of potential downsides. Here are a few things to consider before taking the plunge:
1. Your Job Security
This might be the most important thing to consider, given the special nature of your 401(k). If you take money out of your 401(k) early, you have to pay income taxes on the money and additional penalty taxes if you do so before you're 59 and a half years old. But if you take it out in the form of a loan and pay it back through payroll, you don't have to pay taxes on it immediately (though you do pay the loan back on after-tax income). But if you lose or leave your job, you usually need to pay back the loan very quickly (typically 60 days) and if you can't do that, then you have to pay the taxes and the penalties you would had you just taken the money out.
That's likely not something you're going to be in a position to do had you already resorted to borrowing from your 401(k), and then lost your job.
2. The Interest Rate
This is a loan product, and despite the fact that you're lending money to yourself, you still need to pay interest—to yourself. Yes, it would be nice to give yourself an interest-free loan out of your own tax-protected coffers, but that simply doesn't happen. And anyway, this is a good thing for your retirement. Because you've taken your money out of the fund, it will be good to know its earning interest elsewhere, even if it comes out of your pocket.
That said, the interest rate on your 401(k) loan will be competitive when compared to even a low-interest credit card. Typically, your rate will be the prime rate plus one or two percentage points, and currently the prime rate is holding steady at 3.25 percent.
3. Your Credit
Your credit score won't affect your ability to borrow from yourself directly, but it's worth taking into account. If you have excellent credit, there are less-risky ways of accessing capital than by tapping into your oh-so-sacred retirement savings. A low-interest credit card will have a higher interest rate, but your monthly payments won't skyrocket should you lose your job.
But if your credit stinks, a 401(k) loan might be a good idea by comparison. If you're looking at paying 25 percent annually to borrow money, a 4.25 percent loan might look attractive, even if it does expose you to some serious risk.
4. Am I Really Doing This?
That really is the last consideration. Are you really going to go through with this? Tapping into half of your retirement savings to buy a car, or whatever? It's certainly up for debate whether 401(k) loans are a terrible idea or not, but there are significant risks and you'd be a fool to jump at the opportunity just because the low rates are attractive.
Just be sure you've exhausted all other options before you go through with it. Even if it's better to be in debt to yourself than to some faceless corporate giant, in a spiritual sense, it might not make practical sense in the long term. Talk to a financial advisor and know that you're making the right choice.

A surprising classic
By a customer from Bedford, England , 20 Sep 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
This film is based on the Elmore Leonard book of the same name. This is a hilarious satire of Hollywood. Chili Palmer (John Travolta) is a loan shark from Miami tracking down a deadbeat who has run off. Palmer's travels take him to Hollywood, where he meets Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman). Zimm is a producer of major motion pictures (read B horror flicks). His lover is Karen (Rene Russo). His meetings give Palmer the 'movie bug.'
Already a huge movie fan, Palmer decides to produce 'Mr. Lovejoy' a script that Zimm proclaims will be his 'Driving Miss Daisy.' The plot centres around efforts to raise the necessary money and land Martin Weir (Danny DeVito) in the lead role. Fortunately Weir is Karen's ex-husband. And Palmer has access to $300,000 generated from Las Vegas winnings of the missing deadbeat, Leo. As a further complication there is a drug dealer (Delroy Lindo) who has invested in one of Zimm's pictures. But he has gotten in trouble with his supplier for $500,000 and a missing nephew.
DeVito does a wonderful job playing the self-involved, pretentious Weir. There are wonderful comments about screenwriters. Spelling is optional, not necessary. The role of a screenwriter is just to put the commas in where they belong. Travolta is delightful as a 'nice guy' wise guy. In fact, the entire cast is just great.
The plot lines never overwhelm the film, and they fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. (Note: Thanks to Pulp Fiction, studios are willing now to use non-linear plot lines on occasion.). The ending is terrific (watch for the cameo by Harvey Keitel). I saw this in the theatre and have seen it several times on video. This one is definitely a keeper.- Was this review helpful to you?

Great Film
By TrogTrident (88 reviews) from Rochdale , 06 Jun 2010I'm a big fun of Leonard's book and the film isn't a bad adaptation.Travolta plays a great Chili Palmer, which was a huge surprise to me.
I'm not convinced that Gene Hackman was the right man for Harry Zimm, but that's a small gripe.
Watch it. It's a great fun film. Avoid the follow up, Be Cool. Not cool.- Was this review helpful to you?

By OriginalGooner (53 reviews) from London , 31 Aug 2008Crime comedy in which John Travoltas Miami-based loan shark goes to Los Angeles to collect a debt and finds himself attracted to the world of the Hollywood movie business. An enjoyable couple of hours, with John Travolta effortlessly cool as the loan shark who is thinking about changing careers and getting into films, and also good turns from Gene Hackman as a movie producer, Dennis Farina and Delroy Lindo as a couple of ruthless gangsters and Danny DeVito as a Hollywood movie star.- Was this review helpful to you?

By rikerish (61 reviews) from Corsham, Engalnd , 21 May 2008If I remember right, one of the films that helped get John Travolta's career back online. Great cast, great acting, with some nice 'tongue-in-cheek' scenes.........reminded me of 'Two Days in the Valley', with a bit more grit and a lot fewer dead bodies. Well worth buying, let alone renting........As Stan Lee says.......' Nuff Said! '- Was this review helpful to you?

Heidi Mitchell was employed by the city as a financial clerk between March 2009 and her termination last April. She pleaded guilty to a second-degree felony count of theft after stealing tens of thousands of dollars from American Fork coffers.
The city launched an investigation after an audit of its books -- stemming from embezzlement allegations last spring -- produced some irregularities, city officials said.
Mitchell could have received a sentence of 15 years in prison, but a judge reduced that term to 45 days. She also must pay more than $80,000 in fines and restitution. Because Mitchell is a 'bonded' employee, the monetary loss to American Fork could be covered by the city's insurance company.
Mitchell has until Feb. 4 to report to the Utah County Jail and begin her sentence.

Miami Heat president Pat Riley on Friday forcefully responded to criticism leveled against LeBron James by Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge. "Danny Ainge needs to shut the f--- up and manage his own team," Riley said in a statement released through a Heat spokesman. "He was the biggest whiner going when he was playing and I know that because I coached against him." Ainge said he was at a loss to explain why Riley should have gotten into such a lather in the first place. "I stand by what I said. That's all. I don't care about Pat Riley. He can say whatever he wants," Ainge said in the runway shortly before Friday night's game against Atlanta. Ainge couldn't let it go without one final shot at Riley. "I don't want to mess up his Armani suits and all that hair goop. It would be way too expensive for me," he said. Ainge told Boston radio station WEEI on Thursday that James had no cause to challenge officials for failing to classify fouls assessed to Chicago's Kirk Hinrich and Taj Gibson on James as flagrant. "I think the referees got the calls right. I don't think it was a hard foul," Ainge said Thursday. "I think the one involving LeBron against [Carlos] Boozer, that was flagrant. I think the officials got it right. "I think that it's almost embarrassing that LeBron would complain about officiating."
Pat Riley to Danny Ainge: Shut up

Christmas carolers, fireworks and the lighting of a 37-foot Norway spruce tree provided just some of the sights and sounds of St. John's 19th annual Winter Carnival.
On December 7, 2009, over 1,500 members of the University community, including alumni and their family members gathered on the Great Lawn of St. John's Queens campus to participate in the highlight of the three-day Winter Carnival – the Christmas tree lighting ceremony. A time-honored tradition at St. John's, Winter Carnival includes activities such as horse and carriage rides, ginger bread house decorating and an annual tree lighting that bring the student body together in joyful celebration of the holiday season. "There is about two to three months of exhaustive planning that goes into the carnival," explains Jodi Cox, Director of Campus Activities and one of the main coordinators of the event. "But it's all worth it to see the pieces of the puzzle come together to create such an amazing event that everyone from alumni to students can enjoy."Establishing New Traditions An exceptional addition to this year's schedule of events was the grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the brand new D'Angelo Center. A generous gift from esteemed alumni Peter '78MBA,'06HON and Peg D'Angelo '70Ed, the center functions as the student hub of the Queens campus, providing state-of-the-art space where students can study; host meetings and events; enjoy new dining options; and relax in-between classes. The lighting of the center's Christmas tree, during its opening, signified a new ritual here at St. John's. "Today marks the beginning of an annual tradition to take place in the D'Angelo Center, the lighting of the D'Angelo Center Christmas tree," remarked Patrick McBurney, President of Student Government Incorporated.3…2…1 Shortly after the Community Dinner and Mass, everyone made their way over to the Great Lawn to see a "Charlie Brown Christmas" themed lightshow projected onto the façade of St. Augustine Hall. "I can't believe all of this! Everything so far has been amazing!" exclaimed Anna Kim, freshman in the College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, before the countdown to the spruce tree lighting began. "What a wonderful memory we are able to share with one another," announced Patrick McBurney, as he, Rev. Donald J. Harrington, C.M., President of St. John's University, and St. John's mascot, Johnny The Thunderbird pushed the button to illuminate the permanent tree and set off the spectacular fireworks by Grucci. "We hope that tonight not only excites you about the holiday season, but that you feel the sense of family that makes St. John's the unique and special place it is." With the tree shining brightly in the middle of campus, the time came for students, dazzled by the fireworks, to dance the night away to the tunes of DJ Zeke at the Student Dessert Party. "Tonight definitely exceeded my expectations," said alumnus Weedens Blanchard '93SVC, '97MBA. "St. John's has come a very long way since I was a student. I'm proud to be able to bring my family here and show them where I went to school. I am very impressed." For more information about student activities at St. John's please visit the Student Life and Campus Activities web pages.

Spitfire 1 Footprint
By Scout leader
from Harrisonburg, VA
About Me Avid Adventurer
The footprint is plenty large, so you need to be sure it is tucked in under the tent to avoid collecting rain. That said, the very first night I used it there was a huge rain storm (2"+), and my gear and I stayed dry in the tent.

In this statement UNHCR states it wishes to make reference to the Guidance Note outlining principles on protection and assistance with regards to the internally displaced persons (IDPs) from the Vanni in the districts of Vavuniya, Jaffna and Mannar.
UNHCR welcomes recent initiatives by the government to start the release of persons with special needs (some 371 elderly persons have already been released) and begin reunifying separated families inside the IDP sites. The agency also notes that the government has drawn up a plan to facilitate visits by relatives of the (IDPs) to the sites, once the registration process is complete, the statement added.
In terms of assistance, UNHCR continues to support the government with regular distribution of non-food items and protection monitoring along with efforts to resolve decongestion, among other issues, at the transit/IDP sites.
UNHCR is satisfied with aid distributions so far and will continue to provide assistance to the IDPs at the sites. As displacement continues, the Agency will also carry out regular gaps analysis to better respond to new arrivals in the three districts.
