Where Did Beyonce Film Her Awesome New Music Video?
In case you missed it, the queen of everything, Beyonce, dropped a new music video for her song, 7/11, over the weekend. And it is, as usual, flawless. But also, a bit goofy. Can we borrow your foot phone, B?
The video features Beyonce and her back-up dancers extremely turnt up in their hotel suite, in the hotel hallways, the hotel bathroom and out on the hotel balcony. Have you ever danced like no one was watching in your hotel room? You have, you know you have. Well, imagine if you are Beyonce and you're blessed with fierce dance skills, gorgeous hair, a tight bod and tons of money. Then you will probably look like this.
Us being hotel nerds clearly identified with this video but also, we wondered where was this video filmed?
It looks to us like Hollywood when Beyonce was outside on the balcony but we were mystified by the interiors. That shot looks like a Westin but the hallways and lobby shots look very different too. It's very possible that she filmed the video in different locations, and not all of them are actually hotels. So we'll have to werk to piece it together.
Got an idea as to where this video was filmed? Put your guesses in comments below and we'll find out the answer on Friday.

Guess The Hotel Where Old, Rich and Powerful Men Like To Stay
It's time for another rousing rendition of Guess The Hotel! Here's how it works--we give you some hotel hints, you drop your guesses in comments below and we'll tell you if you're right or wrong tomorrow. And away we go!
This hotel might be a favorite amongst old men named Larry like Larry King and Larry David as well as The Fonz, aka Henry Winkler (the latter two we actually spied in the lobby of the hotel), and many, many, many others. However, we were struck by the hotel's relatively feminine guest rooms. They just looked so darn pretty. Which makes sense since we know how much those old, powerful men like pretty things.
Here are some more hints about this oh-so-lovely hotel:
· The new feminine look was recently unveiled earlier this year. Some specialty suites should be rolled out in the next few weeks.
· The hotel's restaurant and bar remains the place to see and be seen in this particularly hoity part of NYC.
· The rooms all feature a large full-length mirror on the wall so you can see exactly what your outfit looks like. Very important for both women and men.
· The lobby has free WiFi and plenty of luxurious places to lounge so you can charge your phone, check your email and text your mom that you just saw The Fonz.
Yeah, this one shouldn't be that hard but we still want to see your guesses! So drop them in comments below!

Inside The Commodore, Astoria's Hipster Hotel With A Creepy History
It's time for Guess the Hotel revealed! Yesterday we introduced you to the creepy lobby display of the West Coast hipster hotel that had been inexplicably abandoned for 43 years before being opened up by the current owners in 2007.
This is the Commodore Hotel in Astoria, Oregon.
The Commodore was built in 1924 as a 24-room hotel for travelers on the Portland train and the ferry to Washington. Then in 1964 it mysteriously closed from one day to the next. As in, closed the doors but left furniture, belongings, everything inside, right down to magazines and cigarette stubs by the beds. Nobody knows why, though they think it might be to do with the arrival of the Astoria-Megler Bridge.
In 2007, the current owners bought it, opened it up, and commenced renovation, while saving much of what was found in the rooms for the spooky lobby display. It opened as the Commodore in 2009.
These days, there are 18 rooms: suites and cabins. Cabins are small rooms with a washbasin inside and shared bathroom facilities down the end of the corridor. Not scary shared bathroom facilities though – there are separate toilets for men and women (huzzah!), each toilet and each shower is in its own closed room rather than public cubicles, and when we toured the hotel they were spotlessly clean. There are two showers and two toilets per floor, shared by six cabins. Could be better (could be ensuite), but not an alarming ratio.

Guess the Hotel With The Creepy Hipster Lobby Display
This isn't what it looks like.
It looks like any other West Coast hipster hotel, trying to be quirky with its odd lobby collection of books, maps, magazines, bottles and suitcases.
But here's where it gets creepy: all this stuff, apart from the books, is what was found in the hotel when the present owners bought the building in 2007.
Before that, it had been abandoned for 43 years. As if the previous owners went out grocery shopping and never came back. Pretty spooky – even for a town that's seen its fair share of violence, back in the days of gangs and murderers and abductions – many of whom were abducted to serve in the military.

Which Luxury Brand Will Open in Hamburg--Peninsula or Shangri-La?
There's a mystery building in Hamburg, Germany. A historic building that used to house the city's tax authority is receiving some interest from a Hong Kong based hotel group. But which one? Well, that's the mystery. Fortunately, we have some clues.
This German news report asks, "Wird es ein Peninsula Hotels oder Shangri-La Hotels ?"
According to the report, the building, built in 1907, will offer 147 hotel rooms once it goes through its massive renovations, to the tune of 50 million Euros. An investor in the property told another newspaper that the hotel will be managed by a hotel operator based in Asia, which could be either Peninsula or Shangri-la.

Guess the Hotel with the Blue Staircase and Blue Pool
We've just left a hotel we've been meaning to check out for a while now, and while a full rundown is coming soon, we're starting things off with a Guess the Hotel: you'll find a few hints below, and you tell us where you think we've just spent the night.
· a shade of blue is where it all starts, and isn't just a coincidence – showing up both inside in the twisting staircase above, as well as in the outdoor pool below
· inside the guestrooms, our expectations for pretty things – from funky design to quirky features – were high
· set in an up and coming neighborhood in this vibrant city, the hotel cuts a slim silhouette, but will have to throw its weight around to make a dent in the massively competitive hotel game out here

It's time for another rousing rendition of Guess The Hotel! Here's how it works--we give you some hotel hints, you drop your guesses in comments below and we'll tell you if you're right or wrong next week. And away we go!
We already knew donuts were all the rage in the culinary world but in the hotel world? Not so much. Yet this hotel is putting donuts on the guest room pillows...so to speak. Here are some other hints about this hip hotel:
· The surrounding area feels not just like another city, but another country.
· The donuts on the pillow may not be real but the pastries served in the cafe downstairs--the first cafe from a beloved native chef--are TO.DIE.FOR. Chocolate brownie topped with marshmallows, anyone?
· The hotel is currently working on a rooftop pool and restaurant from the same chef, who also opened a cheekily-named restaurant at the hotel.( If we were to say the name of the chef or the restaurant, we would be giving it all away.)
· Most of the decor in the hotel is incredible, taking everyday items and transforming them into sculptures, wallpaper, and seriously cool furnishings.
· There is free WiFi everywhere throughout the hotel.

It's time for yet another rousing rendition of GUESS THE HOTEL! Here's how it works--we put up a picture of a hotel we recently visited along with a few hints below. You drop your guesses in the comments section and we'll reveal the hotel later in the week.
For this edition of Guess the Hotel, we head across the pond where we found BACON JAM in the minibar. Quite unusual. Here are some other funky things we noticed and loved about the hotel:
· There is a portrait of a woman wearing toilet paper on her head in the room.
· The toiletries were very masculine-smelling which was actually quite nice.
· The WiFi was totally free.
· The restaurant downstairs might just be THE place to eat these days. If you can't snag a reservation, no worries there are three other places to hang out and have a drink.

Can You Guess The Hotel with The Brand New Lobby and iMacs?
We haven't played Guess the Hotel for quite some time so allow us to liven up your wintry Friday afternoon with a new edition. You know the rule--we drop some hints, you drop your guesses in comments below. And away we go!
Recently, we toured an iconic hotel in a popular warm-weather destination that completed a major renovation a little over a month ago. While the bones of the structure remain, the inside has been gloriously updated to reflect the needs of today's modern traveler, as evidenced by these shining new iMacs in the Yabu Pushelberg-designed lobby. Here are some more hints to get you guessing:
· The hotel has an incredible location along a main drag that fronts the ocean.
· There's been a recent management change at the hotel, although branding from the previous operators is still lingering.
· On certain weekday mornings, a crowd sits in the lobby to hear about the hotel's architectural history.
· Once upon a time, P. Diddy threw a party here with penguins.
Ok, we probably just gave it away with that last hint but still, test your hotel knowledge by submitting your guess in comments below! We'll reveal the full monty on Monday!

Guess the New Hotel We Stayed at Last Night
With its brass fixtures and pseudo-candle bedside lamps, this long-awaited new hotel is obviously playing off its history -- and quite a history it is. The building is more than 100 years old and (among many other luminaries) was once home to a certain beat writer.
To borrow a term from a recent festival that celebrated this street, we are feeling pretty positive about the local area's resurgence. Besides this new boutique hotel, several restaurants and a certain cult coffee company have recently opened on the same street.
Where are we? Leave your guesses in the comments and all will be revealed tomorrow.

Guess The Hotels In The Singapore Skyline
We have a bit of a different version of Guess the Hotel for you today: rather than giving you a few clues about one specific property, we're putting your hotel knowledge to the test based on the above skyline shot of Singapore for a game of Name The Hotel. How many of them can you spot?
From left to right, we have two hotels that share a common background, and will soon be connected by an underground tunnel. We then have one that will be easy to miss, two that also have a bit of a connection (bonus points for knowing the rebranding that happened here and how it relates to yet another hotel nearby that can't been in this photo), and finally a cluster of hotels, some of which you could see by their name proudly shown on the exterior if you were closer. All in all, there should be at least ten to list.
Bonus points for adding what is just out of frame on the right, something we talked about last week. One more picture from the roof of one of the hotels can be found after the jump. To the comments with your guesses!

NEW YORK – The secret U.S. government memo outlining the justification for the use of drones to kill American terrorist suspects abroad was released by court order Monday, yielding the most detailed, inside look yet at the legal underpinnings of the Obama administration's program of targeted killings.
The memo – whose contents had previously been summarized and released piecemeal – was heavily redacted for national security reasons, with several entire pages and other passages whited out.
But it argues among other things that a targeted killing of a U.S. citizen is permissible under a 2001 law passed by Congress soon after 9/11. That law empowered the president to use force against organizations that planned and committed the attacks.
The release of the memo will allow the public to better assess the lawfulness of the government's targeted killing policy and the implications of that policy, said Jameel Jaffer of the American Civil Liberties Union. Despite the release of this memo, the public still knows scandalously little about who the government is killing and why.
He said the memo contains the first formal acknowledgment by the U.S. that the CIA is involved in the program.
The July 2010 memo was written by a Justice Department official who is now a federal appeals court judge. It was released after a yearlong legal battle by The New York Times and the ACLU.
The memo specifically provided the legal justification for the September 2011 killing in Yemen of Anwar Al-Awlaki, an al-Qaida leader and one-time cleric at a Virginia mosque who had been born in the United States, and another U.S. citizen, Samir Khan, who edited al-Qaida's Internet magazine. An October 2011 strike also killed Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, al-Awlaki's teenage son and also a U.S. citizen.
Al-Awlaki had been involved in an abortive attack against the U.S. and was planning other attacks from his base in Yemen, the memo said. It said the authority to use lethal force abroad may apply in certain circumstances to a U.S. citizen who is part of the forces of an enemy organization.
The memo said the Defense Department operation was being carried out against someone who was within the core of individuals against whom Congress had authorized the use of necessary and appropriate force.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York released the memo after the Times and the ACLU sued for any documents in which Justice Department lawyers had discussed the highly classified targeted killing program.
The appeals court ordered the memo disclosed after noting that President Barack Obama and other senior government officials had commented publicly on the subject.

Pretzel Crisps (by Snack Factory) - have you spotted these?
- kobuta Aug 11, 2013 10:49 AM
I've recently become addicted to these, courtesy of the little snack vending area in my office, but I'm getting tired of getting gouged for a little 2 oz bag each purchase. I know these exist in bigger bags at some markets, but I'll be darned if they are sold in my neighborhood supermarkets (North Quincy).
Who can help me? Have you seen full size bags sold at a regular supermarket/store in the Boston/Cambridge/Quincy area? For the uninitiated, these are thin, flat pretzels with the crisp of a potato chip, but way less fat, and come in assorted flavors like Buffalo Wing and Cheddar Horseradish that actually taste good.
I have bought them at the Shaw's (or is it Star?) in the Dedham Plaza. I suspect other Shaw's and Star Markets have them too.
They are usually in a rack near the end of the cheese section (rather than with the chips/pretzels/popcorn).
I remember buying the Sesame, Everything and Garlic Parmesan. Not sure if they had the ones you mentioned.
re: markin617
Yep, I've seen them at the Allston Star - as markin617 says, they're in the fancy cheese section, not the snacks aisle.
And, according to this page, they shouldn't be too hard to find (Stop and Shop, Whole Foods, Roche Bros., etc. plus convenience sores and gas stations)
re: markin617
You'd think, but yet my local S&S and Hannaford's don't have them, nor does the closest Walmart. I have not made my way to check Roche Bros or Stars, as the they're not close enough for me to make regular visits. I'll have to make a trip to check those out. I did make sure to look in the deli section too, as noted on the website, but didn't find them in the stores by me.
Being car-less unfortunately doesn't make Dedham Plaza feasible unless I want to take a 2 hr trip via commuter rail and bus. I don't like them that much.
re: kobuta
Roche Bros in Quincy has them. Check in the deli area of the store rather than the snack aisle.
You can get giant 26 ounce bags of the plain ones at Costco.
re: BostonZest
Mmm...giant bag. If they offered the flavored ones in giant bags, I'm sold. I'll have to take a look at Costco.
re: kobuta
I've only seen the plain or "original" as they are called.
I have no idea if this is convenient ( I live in Nova Scotia), but I bought some at the Shaws beside the Prudential Center when I was visiting Boston a couple of weeks ago.
They are in every supermarket. I buy them all the time along with a large container of hummos.
Thanks for the responses - I will take a closer look at the cheese/deli section. Perhaps I was unlucky enough to just miss them at both supermarkets.
In a bit of irony, I sent a request to S&S to ask the N. Quincy location to carry them, and today I got a voice mail from the store manager (yes, they really listen!) that confirmed they carry them in the "bizarre section". I giggled at how fitting that was, until I finally caught on that he meant bazaar.
re: kobuta
I bought some today at the NQ Hannafords. They had 4 different varieties. Walk past the deli, towards the bakery, there is a huge display of cheeses to the left and if you look to the right you'll see a shelf with Pretzel Crisps and Bagel Crisps.
re: Pegmeister
I'll have to check it out another time. I went back to NQ S&S and did find them, but they only carry the jumbo bags in 3 flavors, and not the ones I wanted. Tried a garlic parmesan, and while good, not as addicting as their buffalo wing flavor ones. Bummer.

IMPORTANT: HOW TO USE THIS INFORMATION: This is a summary and does NOT have all possible information about this product. This information does not assure that this product is safe, effective, or appropriate for you. This information is not individual medical advice and does not substitute for the advice of your health care professional. Always ask your health care professional for complete information about this product and your specific health needs.
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Xalatan
USES: Latanoprost is used to treat high pressure inside the eye due to glaucoma (open angle type) or other eye diseases (e.g., ocular hypertension). It is similar to a natural chemical in the body (prostaglandin) and works by regulating the flow of fluid within the eye which results in lower pressure. Lowering high pressure inside the eye helps to prevent blindness.
HOW TO USE: Apply this medication in the affected eye(s) usually once daily in the evening, or as directed by your doctor. Do not use this medication more frequently than prescribed; using more can decrease effectiveness.
To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.
The preservative in this product may be absorbed by contact lenses. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using this medication and keep them out of your eyes for at least 15 minutes after applying latanoprost.
Tilt your head back, look upward and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and apply the prescribed number of drops. Look downward and gently close your eye for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the inside corner of your eye near the nose and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye.
Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after each use.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it at the same time each day. It is important to continue using latanoprost even if you feel well. Most people with glaucoma or high pressure in the eye do not feel sick.
If you are using another kind of eye medication (e.g., drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before applying other products. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.

Targeted Nanoparticle Therapy Show Promise in Shrinking Tumors
By BiotechDaily International staff writers
Posted on 26 Apr 2012
Nanoparticles devised to zoom in on cancer cells have succeeded in shrinking tumors at lower doses than traditional chemotherapy. Targeted therapeutic nanoparticles that accumulate in tumors while bypassing healthy cells have shown promising findings in an ongoing clinical trial.
The nanoparticles contain a homing molecule that allows them to attack cancer cells exclusively, and are the first such targeted particles to enter human clinical studies. Originally developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT; Cambridge, MA, USA) and Brigham and Women's Hospital (Boston, MA, USA), the particles are designed to carry the chemotherapy drug docetaxel, used to treat cancers including prostate, lung, and breast cancers.
In the study, which was published April 4, 2012, in the journal
Science Translational Medicine,
the researchers demonstrate the particles' ability to target a receptor found on cancer cells and accumulate at tumor sites. The particles were also shown to be safe and effective: many of the patients' tumors shrank as a result of the treatment, even when they received lower doses than those usually administered.
"The initial clinical results of tumor regression even at low doses of the drug validate our preclinical findings that actively targeted nanoparticles preferentially accumulate in tumors," said Dr. Robert Langer, a professor in MIT's department of chemical engineering and a senior author of the paper. "Previous attempts to develop targeted nanoparticles have not successfully translated into human clinical studies because of the inherent difficulty of designing and scaling up a particle capable of targeting tumors, evading the immune system, and releasing drugs in a controlled way."
The phase I clinical trial was performed by researchers at BIND Biosciences (Cambridge, MA, USA), a company cofounded by Drs. Langer and Omid Farokhzad in 2007. "This study demonstrates for the first time that it is possible to generate medicines with both targeted and programmable properties that can concentrate the therapeutic effect directly at the site of disease, potentially revolutionizing how complex diseases such as cancer are treated," stated Dr. Farokhzad, director of the laboratory of nanomedicine and biomaterials at Brigham and Women's Hospital, associate professor of anesthesia at Harvard Medical School (Boston, MA, USA) and a senior author of the paper.
Dr. Langer's lab started working on polymeric nanoparticles in the early 1990s, developing particles made of biodegradable materials. In the early 2000s,Drs. Langer and Farokhzad begin collaborating to develop technology that actively targets the particles to molecules found on cancer cells. By 2006, they had demonstrated that targeted nanoparticles can shrink tumors in mice, creating a way for the eventual development and evaluation of a targeted nanoparticle called BIND-014, which entered clinical trials in January 2011.
For this study, the researchers coated the nanoparticles with targeting molecules that recognize a protein called prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), located abundantly on the surface of most prostate tumor cells as well as many other types of tumors.
One of the difficulties in developing effective drug-delivery nanoparticles, according to Dr. Langer, is creating them so they can perform two key functions: evading the body's normal immune response and reaching their projected targets. "You need exactly the right combination of these properties, because if they don't have the right concentration of targeting molecules, they won't get to the cells you want, and if they don't have the right stealth properties, they'll get taken up by macrophages," stated Dr. Langer, also a member of the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT.
The BIND-014 nanoparticles have three components: one that carries the drug, one that targets PSMA, and one that helps evade macrophages and other immune-system cells. A few years ago, Drs. Langer and Farokhzad developed a way to manipulate these properties very precisely, creating large collections of diverse particles that could then be evaluated for the ideal composition. "They systematically made a set of materials that varied in the properties they thought would matter, and developed a way to screen them. That's not been done in this kind of setting before," said Dr. Mark Saltzman, a professor of biomedical engineering at Yale University who was not involved in this study. "They've taken the concept from the lab into clinical trials, which is quite impressive."
All of the particles are comprised of polymers already approved for medical use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase I clinical trial involved 17 patients with advanced or metastatic tumors who had already gone through traditional chemotherapy. Up to now, doses of BIND-014 have reached the amount of docetaxel usually given without nanoparticles, with no new side effects. The known side effects of docetaxel have also been milder.
In the 48 hours after treatment, the researchers found that docetaxel concentration in the patients' blood was 100 times higher with the nanoparticles as compared to docetaxel administered in its conventional form. Higher blood concentration of BIND-014 facilitated tumor targeting resulting in tumor shrinkage in patients, in some cases with doses of BIND-014 that correspond to as low as 20% of the amount of docetaxel typically given. The nanoparticles were also effective in cancers in which docetaxel usually has little activity, including cervical cancer and cancer of the bile ducts.
The researchers also discovered that in animals treated with the nanoparticles, the concentration of docetaxel in the tumors was up to 10-fold higher than in animals treated with traditional docetaxel injection for the first 24 hours, and that nanoparticle treatment resulted in enhanced tumor reduction.
The phase I clinical trial is still ongoing and continued dose escalation is underway; BIND Biosciences is now planning phase II trials, which will further investigate the treatment's effectiveness in a larger number of patients.

The effects of feeding damage in ragweed Ambrosia artemisiifolia (Asteraceae) on populations of Zygogramma suturalis (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae)

Field sampling indicated that the number of eggs laid by a Zygogramma suturalis female within a sampling plot correlated inversely with the mean degree of ragweed damage. Feeding on extensively damaged ragweed in the laboratory caused a drop in oviposition intensity, and a considerable proportion of females completely stopped oviposition. Feeding on slightly damaged ragweed had no significant effect on oviposition intensity. Ovipositing females preferred to feed on the intact ragweed and lay their eggs close to it. The locomotory activity of ovipositing females was significantly higher on highly damaged ragweed whereas non-ovipositing (diapausing) females and males were behaviourally indifferent to the extent of ragweed damage. Under natural conditions, ovipositing females more frequently left damaged host plants for less damaged one. If the degree of ragweed damage is high over a large area, the insects that were unable to find undamaged plants for several days oviposited less and some females entered diapause. The adaptive effect of these reactions is a decrease of population density in advance, before it might drop as a result of starvation. These results are in agreement with the second model of insect reaction to the damage-induced changes in a host plant (Edwards and Wratten 1987).

You may not have control over the design, but if you park in the right location, you can indeed get a free paint job for your vehicle. This artistically-painted truck was parked in Chinatown in New York City (though I can't confirm that this is the artist's location of work). For this graffiti photo, I got down very low to the ground to capture a modestly-upward perspective.

EVERY year, some people choose death over dialysis when their kidneys fail.
Without dialysis to clear toxins in their body, they are unlikely to survive long.
But there are others who are forced to forgo dialysis because they cannot afford it, or because their families said no.
At the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH), 24 patients suitable for dialysis declined the procedure in 2011.
Instead, they were placed under palliative care to ease their suffering as they died.
Out of this group, 10 turned down dialysis because they did not have anyone to take them for the treatment or help them with home dialysis.
Two among them wanted the treatment, but their families refused.
Another four turned down the procedure because they did not want to be a burden to their families as they were "old already".
Six rejected dialysis because it was too expensive.
The rest of the KTPH patients declined for various personal reasons, including fear of pain.
In Singapore, dialysis centres are run either by for-profit private companies, where it costs S$2,500 (RM6,494) to more than S$4,000 (RM10,391) a month, or by welfare organisations which charge highly subsidised rates. — The Straits Times / Asia News Network

For the past four years, a group of passionate reformers has been steadily trying to remake how higher education works in Texas—over the screams and howls of many professors and school presidents. Last year the battle came to UT. And the bombs are still flying.

Very tasty. I too used forzen spinach which worked out well. The only thing I would change is the amount of butter. I think (half the amount) 2 oz. would have been fine. The choice of cheese was good. My husband, who presumbaly, doesn't like spinach thought these were pretty tasty.people found this review Helpful.

These were good - my husband kept snatching squares out of the refridgerator all day! I thought them just a bit bland by themselves (were great with spaghetti sauce to dip them in) but I think some garlic and maybe a bit of cayenne powder will add a lot of flavor. Jack cheese was a great choice. I used frozen spinach as that's what I had; the finshed product is a very pretty dish (some red, maybe diced pimentoes, would look lovely, too.)people found this review Helpful.

"Next Gen" Doom Resurrection To Hit The App Store By Next Week (iPhone)
What is being dubbed as the first truly "Next Gen" gaming title for the iPhone, Doom Resurrection is slated for a release sometime next week in the App Store. As a brand new FPS for the iPhone, it borrows slightly from 2004's Doom 3 and should last around 5 hours. Rumor has it that even a "peer to peer" co-op multiplayer could surface once iPhone 3.0 is released later this month. No price yet but we can guess it will be $9.99 or less.

Pope Francis has named a commission of inquiry to look into the activities of the troubled Vatican bank amid a fresh money-laundering investigation and questions about what exactly goes on inside the secretive institution.
It was the second time in as many weeks that Francis has intervened to get to get to the bottom of the problems that have plagued the Institute for Religious Works: On June 15, he filled a key vacancy in the bank's governing structure, tapping a trusted friend to be essentially his eyes inside the bank. The new appointee will have access to documentation, board meetings and management.
On Wednesday, he named a commission to investigate the bank's legal structure and activities. It comes as Salerno prosecutors investigate a senior Vatican official for alleged money-laundering.

Mona See won the top prize in 10x the Money in the Virginia Lottery. She won $100,000.
See couldn't believe her eyes when she scratched off the numbers.
"I showed the lady who sold it to me," she told Virginia Lottery officials as she claimed her prize. "She couldn't believe it either."
See bought the ticket at the 7-Eleven on Augusta Ave. in Grottoes. She bought two tickets with the $10 she had won in the Redskins Legacy Scratcher game.
See says when she started scratching the ticket, she knew she had won at least $50.
"Then I scratched underneath and it was ten thousand. Then it dawned on me that it was ten times ten thousand."
She plans to pay her bills with her winnings.

Life Lessons My Mother Taught Me
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThe New York Times bestseller that celebrates motherhood-for-mothers and those who love them.
Beloved pastor and bestselling author T.D. Jakes pays tribute to his mother-and mothers everywhere-with powerful, heartwarming stories and lessons from his own experiences as a son and pastor.
Woven into these vignettes are Biblical stories and testimonials from famous children of mighty mothers whose nurturing wisdom and influence helped to shape their worlds, and whose invaluable lessons were the building blocks of great character. Bishop Jakes incorporates those lessons-from believing in God and oneself, to learning the value of support, responsibility, and celebrating others, to understanding the power of prayer, wisdom, and endurance-in Mama Made the Difference, a must-have not only for mothers, but also for daughters and sons, brothers and sisters, parents and grandparents-and anyone else who has ever felt the power of a mother's love.

Originally written on That NBA Lottery Pick | Last updated 11/18/14
Thanks to Los Angeles Lakers media day back on Monday, we have the answer to the most important question of "With all the new stars with the Lakers, who's team is it?"
As you might have already figured from the title of this post, Kobe isn't backing down as LA's top dog:
"I got a question earlier about whose team this is," Bryant told reporters. "I don't want to get into the, 'Well, we share ...' No, it's my team. But I want to make sure that Dwight, when I retire, this is going to be his. I want to teach him everything I possibly know so that when I step away this organization can ride on as if I never left."(Courtesy of ESPN Los Angeles)
