With hundreds of Africans dying from the outbreak of Ebola, some commentators have said it is wrong that extremely scarce supplies of an experimental drug went to two white American aid workers.
But other commentators wonder: What if the first doses of the drug which had never been used in people and had not even finished the typical animal safety testing had been given to African patients instead?
It would have been the front-page screaming headline: Africans used as guinea pigs for American drug companys medicine, said Dr Salim Abdool Karim, director of Caprisa, an AIDS research centre in South Africa.
A history of controversy about drug testing in Africa is just one of the complexities facing public health authorities as they wrestle with whether and how to bring that drug and possibly other experimental ones to the countries afflicted with Ebola. Who should get such a scarce supply of medicine? Health workers? Children? The newly infected who are not yet as sick?
The World Health Organization, which has declared an international health emergency on Ebola, will convene a meeting of ethicists early next week to discuss this delicate and difficult predicament involving the drugs. The US government is also forming a group to consider the same issues, said Dr Anthony S Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
At least two of the countries affected by the Ebola outbreak, Liberia and Nigeria, have asked for the drug, according to a spokesman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The debate about who should get the drug, which is called ZMapp, may be mainly academic in the short term, because there is virtually no supply left, Fauci said. By the time some modest supplies are available in a few months, the epidemic may have run its course.
Supplies of ZMapp, which is made in tobacco plants, are being scaled up, but that is expected to take a few months.
ZMapp is reported to have helped the two aid workers, Dr Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, who were initially treated in Liberia and are now at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. But experts say it is too soon to conclude it is truly effective.
According to federal officials, ZMapp was given to the two Americans because Samaritans Purse, the aid organisation that employed Brantly, found out about it and asked for it, not because of any favouritism to Americans.

Our clients prefer waterbased inks because they are soft and breathable. Using the discharge print method we are able to print your designs on apparel with inks that bleach out the existing dye and replace it with your chosen colors. Water based discharge printing results in crisp detailed reproductions of your art without the heavy hand of traditional plastisol printing.
These inks typically work best on 100% cotton fabric, although a surprising number of 50/50 fabric blends are now showing bright print results as well. There are some fabric dyes that resist the discharge process (kelly green, royal blue, purple) and other cotton garments that print up stunningly well. We want to work closely with you to pick the best combination of garments and inks to get the results you want.
Super Soft.
Prints are hella soft, basically re-dyeing the fabric.
Bright Prints.
Crispy bright prints with a soft hand on darks garments.
Clean Fades.
You will get smooth fades and gradients on darks with our pigmented discharge halftone blends.

Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler And Randy Jackson To Stay On As Judges For American Idol Season 11
By Kelly West 5 years ago comments
Fox is really shaking things up for the eleventh season of American Idol, in that theyre not making any changes to the judging table this year. The network announced today that last years arrangement of judges and host will stand for Season 11 when the series returns in January.
The Fox singing competition started out with three judges. For seven seasons, Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell, and Paula Abdul sat at the judges table and served as filters and later, advice-givers to each new crop of Idol hopefuls. In Season 8, Kara DioGuardi joined the show to serve as a fourth judge. In Season 9, Paula left the show and was replaced by Ellen DeGeneres (remember that bit of randomness?). Kara left next, as did Simon and as of last season, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler were on board to fill the two vacant judges seats. After all of the shifts and changes, either due to contract issues or the shows attempt to breathe life into the series that, while still a ratings juggernaut, Idols ratings has been steadily fizzling for quite a while now.
For the first time in years, the judges are staying the same. Fox confirmed today that Randy, Jennifer and Steven will return to judge the eleventh season of the series. I cant say that I all-out dislike Randy, Jennifer or Steven. As opinion-givers go, theyre fine. The star power is there, but the wow-factor really isn't. We dont see the same spark between them that we once saw so frequently between Randy, Paula and Simon. When the original trio was together, I got the sense that none of them felt like they had much to lose by being completely honest, so all of them were. As nice as Jennifer and Steven are, I sometimes wonder if theyre too used to be polite and supportive to their fans, both being long-time beloved celebrities, to offer genuinely honest criticism.
Given all of the shifting thats gone on, not changing the judges seems like a bold move. Perhaps this is Idol and Foxs way of not rocking the boat. With The X Factor set to take Fox by storm this fall, people might be looking for a bit of familiarity by the time Idol rolls around in 2012.

| Villa in Marche surrounded by a centuries-old park, Hotel Residence with pool near Pesaro for holidays on the hills of the Marche
Villa Giulia is an elegant residence from the Napoleonic period and lies amidst green landscaped gardens and a centuries-old wood, criss-crossed with romantic paths. The estate looks out over the Adriatic Sea and the town and the port of Fano, with the gentle Marche hills in the background: it is a unique, charming place, ideal for a romantic Honeymoon.
La Villa still has original furniture from various periods inside, antique books and objects that have belonged to the family for centuries: the general impression is one of a fascinating atmosphere everywhere. By the Villa there is an old private Chapel where Sunday masses and ceremonies are still celebrated.
Visitors have the feeling that they are reliving a page of Italian and French history: the Villa and the park are full of traces left by former owners, such as Prince Eugène de Beauharnais, Napoleon's beloved stepson and Viceroy of the Kingdom of Italy, or Baroness Giulia de Rolland, the present owners' ancestor who was an important person at the Sabauda Court at the beginning of the century.
The park merges into the family farm olive grove from where you carry on to the Villa's picturesque swimming pool.
This elegant Fano hotel residence is surrounded by a large park that creates a continuity effect between the house and the countryside. The wood and the gardens have several quiet corners where you can relax, read a book from the library or paint glimpses of the villa, the park or the wonderful landscape that surrounds you.
Breakfast is an unforgettable moment of the day: in the warm season it is served in the garden opposite the sea, or in the pleasant dining room that is characterized by a pretty, finely sculpted, wooden bow window.
· Breakfast and daily cleaning
· Meals from May until September
· Outdoor swimming pool

Some new information about The Dark Knight Rises (TDKR), one of the most highly-anticipated movies of 2012 — and reigning trailer download champ — has just come to light courtesy of two rather unlikely sources: Joey King, the teen actress who has long been connected to the movie in an unspecified role, and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
In a recent interview with MyEntertainmentWorld, the 13-year-old Ramon and Beezus star revealed the character that she will play in director Christopher Nolan's third and final Batman movie, which could be more telling about the plot of the movie than the young actress probably realized at the time. And, an FCC filing by HotWheels for toys based on the movie has finally given us a name to call that weird flying Bat-Wing thingee that has been the cause of no small amount of buzz since the first "spy" photos and videos of it in action leaked online last year.
After gushing about her experience making the movie and working with Nolan and title star Christian Bale, King revealed that she will be playing the "young" version of one of the most important characters in the Batman mythos, a character that has never before been seen on the big screen.
It was so cool, I had an amazing time. I got to travel to places I'd never been to before. Christopher Nolan is so nice, so is Christian Bale. I just had the best time.
I play young Talia al Ghul. I can't give too much away because I promised Mr. Nolan I wouldn't say anything. There are too many secrets about the character and the movie.
I play young Talia al Ghul. I can't give too much away because I promised Mr. Nolan I wouldn't say anything. There are too many secrets about the character and the movie.
BAM! Talia al Ghul, the daughter of one of Batman's most dangerous villains, the nigh-immortal Ra's al Ghul who (as played by Liam Neeson) plagued Batman in Batman Begins and will be making a return appearance in TDKR (courtesy of Josh Pence). In the (pre-New 52!) comic books published by DC Comics, Talia al Ghul and Bruce Wayne/Batman have a torrid affair that results in the birth of Damian Wayne, a self-important and violent little snot who eventually becomes Robin (again, pre-New 52!).
What's really curious about King's reveal is that she called herself the "young Talia al Ghul," implying that another actress wil be the "old Talia al Ghul." For months, fans who saw the photos of actress Marion Cotillard dressed in military garb and climbing into a militarized Tumbler (Nolan's version of the Bat-mobile) have speculated that the French acress is actually playing Talia al Ghul and that "Miranda Tate" is simply a cover identity so that she can infiltrate Wayne Enterprises to steal, among other things, said Tumbler. King's reveal also makes it seem far more likely that Pence is actually playing the younger Ra's, rather than a mystically rejuvenated version of the character as some have speculated, which makes more sense in the context of the more grounded Batman universe that Nolan has created.
In other TDKR news, WirelessGoodness spotted an FCC filing by HotWheels for several toys based on the new movie. Included in the assortment of remote control toy vehicle schematics are the "Tumbler," "Bat-Pod" and "The Bat," which appears to be the real name of the flying assault vehicle that everyone has been calling the "Bat-Wing" ever since they were first spotted buzzing over the set of the movie.
Finally, here's a little Bat-bonus: a fan-edited trailer for TDKR comprised of footage from Batman: The Animated Series and other DCU cartoons!


text: Home Politics Beyoncé's Open Letter to Michelle O She calls the first lady the "ultimate example of a truly strong African-American woman." By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: April 12 2012 12:23 PM 0 Jim Spellman/WireImage/Getty Images When Beyoncé's Tumblr launched last week, the Internet flipped out over her personal photos. This week the singer is also sharing her personal feelings in a gushing handwritten note to first lady Michelle Obama, posted on her website. In it she calls the first lady the "ultimate example of a truly strong African American woman" and says, "no matter the pressure, and the stress of being under a microscope, she's humble, loving, and sincere. She builds and nurtures her family, while also looking out for so many millions in so many ways." Although she and Jay-Z don't have the weight of the entire nation's problems on their shoulders the way Barack and Michelle Obama do, Beyoncé can certainly relate to the "under a microscope" component of the first lady's life -- and it seems that being a new mother has given her a new appreciation for what it takes to balance that with raising a family. The note closes with, "I am proud to have my daughter grow up in a world where she has people like you, to look up to." Read more at The Root DC. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

While it is a factor in our final decision-making, we don't place tough restrictions on the premiere status of shorts. In 2015 over a third of our short films were world premieres, but we played a number of shorts that had appeared on the Internet and played at other festivals outside of Austin, Texas. If we really connect to and love a short film and it hasn't received a huge amount of attention we will try to share it with our audience.
If your film has screened in a theatrical setting to a general-public audience in Austin, including other film festivals (i.e Austin Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, etc), it is NOT eligible.

Acknowledging the already limited number of graduate medical education positions and the continued threat that the federal government will cut more of them in coming years, the AOA House passed a resolution and policy paper yesterday calling for states to explore alternate sources of GME funding.
"We need to develop more programs to help educate our students as they come out of the osteopathic medical schools," says AOA Trustee Joseph A. Giaimo, DO, the chair of the AOA's Bureau of State Government Affairs. "And one of the biggest problems with finding programs and developing programs is funding them. We want to help our affiliates and state organizations work with states to develop programs to attract student physicians to communities that need them."
The policy paper outlines a number of additional GME funding models, such as the AOA's Physician Education Advancing Community Health (PEACH) program, whereby health insurers pay into the health care system to help fund GME positions. Maryland and New York have systems similar to the PEACH program.
Another example is the education model, in which a program sponsor donates funds to an institution such as a university, which is then responsible for allocating the money and securing GME positions. An alternate version of this model would attach funds to medical students, similar to a voucher system, that follow them wherever they do their residency.
Dr. Giaimo says that states may consider working with businesses that are seeking to hire physicians with specific skill sets. For instance, a global company with offices in tropical countries may be interested in funding physicians to develop expertise in tropical medicine.
"This would be an opportunity to partner with a company and ask its leaders, 'What training do you want your physicians to have? What are the skill sets you want your physicians to have?' " says Dr. Giaimo, a delegate from Florida.
What works in one state may not work in another, Dr. Giaimo says, which is why the policy provides several options to consider.
Montana delegate Donald A. Grewell, DO, says he appreciates the AOA's efforts to assist states in solving problems, including GME funding, locally.
"Many issues are solved on a more local level," Dr. Grewell says. "Things may differ from state to state. It makes great sense to try to help states determine what makes sense for them when it comes to looking for other sources of money."
As the executive director of the Montana Osteopathic Medical Association, Dr. Grewell says his organization may try to implement some of the strategies outlined in the policy paper.
"Part of our uniqueness is our rural setting," he says. "Smaller hospitals are looking to attract physicians and receive financial help with their education."

Nine Suspicious White Powder Letters Received at Offices of U.S. Senators and Representatives Throughout Alabama
|FBI Mobile January 04, 2010
Timothy J. Fuhrman, Special Agent in Charge, Mobile FBI; and Patrick Maley, Special Agent in Charge, Birmingham FBI, announce the FBI is investigating nine suspicious white powder letters received at the offices of four U.S. Senators and Representatives throughout the state of Alabama.
Nine handwritten letters, which also contained a white powder, were sent to the offices of U.S. Senators Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions, and U.S. Representatives Jo Bonner and Mike Rogers, in Montgomery, Birmingham, Mobile, Foley, and Anniston, Alabama. The white powder substance has been field screened and the tests have met with negative results. The white powder substance will receive further testing at the laboratories at the Alabama Department of Public Health. To date, all letters have been postmarked in Alabama and do not appear to have gone outside the state.
The FBI field offices in Mobile and Birmingham are working the matter jointly along with the U.S. Postal Service and the Alabama Department of Public Health. The FBI is requesting anyone with information concerning these letters should contact the local FBI office in Mobile at 251-438-3674, or the Birmingham office at 205-326-6166.

Motorcycling runs in the family
ACCORDING to a study by bike insurer Bennetts the desire to ride motorcycles is in your DNA.
With input from a psychologist, the study has theorised that motorcyclists have a genetic predisposition in the form a of a 'novelty-seeking' (NS) gene, which brings out a tendency for impulsive, exploratory and risk-taking behaviour.
The research from Bennetts found that the majority of bikers, 85%, were introduced to two wheels by a family member, with 11% saying a friend and 4% responding that it was a non-relative, including a partner or colleague.
The findings also discovered that bikers had the matching personality traits associated with the NS gene, with risk-taking (72%), low boredom threshold (71%) and spontaneity (69%) amongst the responses.
It was also found that 68% of bikers were introduced by an immediate family member, 9% by an aunt, uncle or cousin and 8% by a grandparent.
Motorcycling often defines a person, and this was shown by nearly three-quarters (73%) admitting that their bike defines who they are. As many as 62% said they couldn't live without their bike and others even revealed that they consider their bike a family member (61%) or an extension of their personality (70%).
Psychologist Donna Dawson said of the findings: "Psychologists know from studies on twins that up to 60% of personality traits are inherited; however, environment, in the form of upbringing and opportunity, also has a role to play.
"Our research tells us that most bikers were introduced to biking through a family member and that all questions related to the 'NS' gene personality traits (such as being a risk-taker) and the biker's emotional attachment to his or her bike resulted in very high scores.
"This reveals that the majority of biking families will be passing on an 'NS' gene, which in turn is also being reinforced by an environment in which bikers are setting an example and sharing their love of biking - it's certainly 'in the blood' from what I can see!"

I, too, was adopted and purchased my first street bike against the wishes of my adoptive family. Years later I found my biological mother and learned she had purchased her first street bike in her late teens... against the wishes of her adoptive family. It's in the genes.

Hey everyone,
I was after some advice, a group of us are going to cycle to Poland during the 2012 European football cahmapionships next year. We were going to cycle down to dublin, boat to Wales, down to bristol, London, Harwich, Netherlands, Germany(Frankfurt), Czech Rep (prague) and then up to Warsaw, Poland. We were just going to use the eurovelo for most of the trip, but I was wondering would we be able to do it on road bikes or would we need hybrids?? Has anyone got any experience of these routes? I'm particularly worried about Wales?
Many thanks

Rated 4.6 out of 5Â by 39 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CA girl Soft Cloth I recall my parent having these around 1950s. My mother-in-law used them too same time-frame. One of hers was made in Egypt. ABSORBENT for drying. Thank you for having these!!!!! May 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JR456 Happy Mother I bought these for my mother who complained about the dish towels sold at the local big box stores not being absorbent. She longed for the old fashioned cotton towels that actually dried her pots and pans. I got these for her and she is absolutely delighted! January 12, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by DonM My Mom was missing 'flour sack towels' I can remember drying pots, pans, and dishes after dinner at Grandmas. I grew up with a dishwasher. It wasn't until I moved back into my parents home when I heard my Mom wishing she had some flour sack towels. I'm the chief pot and pan scrubber as well as the dishwasher loader. I now understand why she really missed these towels. These are cotton. The kitchen towels you can buy in the department stores are a loop knit. Yes they are kind of absorb. THESE TOWELS ARE GREAT! USE THEM, BLEACH THEM, WASH THEM AND DO IT AGAIN!!! January 10, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Godiva Larger than I thought I use flour sack towels to applique motifs on and give as gifts. I'd never purchased them before from Vermont Country, and thought I'd give them a try. I ordered the regular size and was pleasantly surprised at how big they were! Thank God I didn't order the larger size or I would be decorating bath towels! October 14, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5Â by andyhouse Don't absorb. Since I know these towels are 100% cotton, I assume that they are coated with something that prevents them from absorbing water which is really annoying in the kitchen. I hope to be able to strip them of their coating. October 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MT girl Love floursack towels! Floursack towels are the best for drying dishes and cleaning up around the kitchen. I never use anything else. They are also great when washing windows! October 13, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5Â by JonD Use them for flour Based on the write-up on your website, these "towels" appeared to be a good buy. But the result was very disappointing. In our opinion, the towels are NOT very absorbent; they are very thin, with a flimsy feel when using; and they are too large to handle conveniently. They are nothing but large, crudely made squares of cotton that are not even attractive to have around! Maybe we can find some use for them, but . . . September 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Clare Best anywhere & two sizes! I originally bought these to use as dishtowels because they are so absorbent. Then my sister-in-law used them as napkins at a picnic and my husband couldn't stop talking about them, so I got him some. He carries one in the car with him constantly and uses it for everything. I think they would be great in a diaper bag or a lunch bag or almost anywhere. Once they are stained, they are great rags for around the house, too. I bought some elsewhere but they were nowhere near the quality of these -- not as soft or as absorbent and they didn't hold up as well. The small ones are big and the big ones are really big. Now my sister-in-law is wrapping gifts in them and tying them with twine or grosgrain ribbon. The feedback she gets is that people appreciate the wrapping as much as the gift. July 15, 2015

UCLA Head Coach Adam Krikorian
On the game: "Going into the game, I thought it was important to get a lead. I guess there goes that idea. Both team were shaky in the first half, a little nervous and uptight. We weren't playing very aggressive on offense. They got up on us 2-0, which was a tough situation for us going into halftime. But we never gave up, and fought all the way. Kelly (Rulon) scored, and that really sparked us. Everyone else got really excited. I'm just so happy for these (seven) seniors. They made up my very first recruiting class, and mean the world to me. I'm so happy they got this championship."
Elaborating on his mindset at halftime, down 2-0: "I thought we were in trouble. It was important for us to get off to a good start. But, I knew we had the potential to get back into the game."
Keys to the game for the Bruins: "We've been able to slow down their offense all year. We just had trouble scoring from time to time. Today, Robin (Beauregard) did an impressive job on (Stanford's Julie) Gardner. It was our five-on-six today. They finished one-for-six. It was our attitude and our hustle in those situations. The girls wanted it real bad." On UCLA Polo's third national title in three tries at UCSD's Canyonview Pool, with the men having won championships there in 1999 and 1996: "I think UC San Diego should host it every year. (Chuckling.) San Diego is an awesome city. I love coming down here. Hopefully they will host more of these in the future."
UCLA Senior Center Defender Robin Beauregard
On the frantic final two minutes of the game: "I actually didn't feel like it was that frantic. There was a lot of emotion and a loud crowd. The team did a great job. It's your defense that's going to be key in situations like that, and that's how it happened today."
UCLA Junior Center Forward Natalie Golda
On her performance in the Championship Game: "They literally shut me down because I score a lot. I still felt like I played with the exception of those two early fouls I picked up. As long as we come out on top on the scoreboard, I'm happy."
UCLA Freshman Driver Kelly Rulon
On the impact of the UCLA seniors to underclassmen like herself: "I couldn't ask for anything more out of these seniors. I've learned so much from them and grown so much as a player."

When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch

The Science Of Mindfulness
Turning off your devices and stopping the chatter in your brain is difficult, but increasingly, evidence shows that being in the present moment, or practicing mindfulness, is really beneficial. And it's certainly in vogue. A few years back, a report from the NIH found that Americans spent about $4-billion dollars on mindfulness-related alternative medicine in just one year. Educators, the tech sector, members of Congress and even the Pentagon are employing its techniques to achieve focus in a frantic world.

Fuss over nothing really. Typical of what this site has become creating a storm in a tea cup.
The building ownership has changed hands. The owner is hardly going to throw out the tenant who will likely be paying for everything (and a bit more) in terms of the property eg. ultilities, any loans the owner has through their rent, all maintenance and repair etc.
Doesn't change the fact that USF1 are behind all the other teams except possibly Campos.

When the Heart Falls
by Kimberly Lewis
FREE on Kindle
Not available for Nook
When Misty Prescott moved back home to her parent's ranch after catching her husband cheating on her, she couldn't have possibly known that she'd fall for not one, but two cowboys at the same time. Nor could she have known that getting involved with both men would bring unwelcome excitement, turning her already messed up world completely upside down. As Misty's relationship with Vance Kinney begins, she can't help but develop an intense attraction to her best friend's older brother, Dylan McCoy. But just as Misty makes her choice, she indirectly becomes the target of one horrific event after another. Now, Misty must fight the very obstacles that threaten to tear her apart from the man she loves, and survive the danger lurking around every corner that threatens their very lives.

In the first book of the Prescription for Trouble series, "Code Blue" means more to Dr. Cathy Sewell than the cardiac emergency she has to face.

Elizabeth Foster is a young woman with a promising future. She has the perfect family in a nice neighborhood and she is getting ready to graduate from high school and begin her life.
The only problem is a dark secret that she has kept hidden all her life. No one would ever guess that the quiet and shy girl has a rare sexuality. She is only attracted to men with physical disabilities.
After years of trying to make it go away, Elizabeth comes face to face with Stewart Masterson, the paraplegic man of her dreams, and can fight it no longer.
As they begin a relationship, she works hard to keep him from finding out the truth about her initial interest. But she can't hide it forever.
Stewart is hiding his own secrets and making a new life for himself when he meets Elizabeth.
Together they begin a terrifying journey of self-discovery. Will Elizabeth and Stewart learn to accept the broken parts in themselves and each other? Will they be able to re-define what it means to be whole or will fear and guilt drive them apart?

Thirteen-year-old Gabriel Salvador has dreams about the future and his dreams always come true. When he dreams one night that he will drown, he knows upon waking it is only a matter of time before his dream becomes reality.

Victorian London, the Aztec temples of 1487, the Greek island of Samos in 320 BCE, Scotland in the Middle Ages, and the battle fields of Alexander the Great are only some of the adventures in time that await Gabriel as he learns to become a time mage and joins the battle to protect the timeline of history in THE WIZARD OF TIME.

Yup, I built a nuclear fusion reactor
Taylor Wilson believes nuclear fusion is a solution to our future energy needs, and that kids can change the world. And he knows something about both of those: When he was 14, he built a working fusion reactor in his parents' garage. Now 17, he takes the TED stage at short notice to tell (the short version of) his story.

Miniature Tigers
Live Show Review: Neon Indian, Miniature Tigers & Prefuse 73 @ Mezzanine
To be expected, last night's lineup at Mezzanine was nothing short of mind-melting. Highly experimental, improv multi-instrumentalist masters, all three bands did not disappoint.
Phoenix-based Miniature Tigers got the crowd swaying with their special brand of indie chill. It was almost as if they were Neon Indian-lite. A little less keys and strung out repetition, but intriguing and catchy nonetheless. I personally can't wait for these guys to blow up out of the stratosphere.

Your Take: How Often Do You Check Your Credit Score?
Posted By Jim On 05/29/2009 @ 6:59 am In Your Take | 34 Comments
I'm a numbers guy. I love seeing numbers, trying to find trends, and playing with statistics. That's probably one of the reasons why credit scores fascinate me so much, they are able to distill a bunch of actions you take as a person and package it up into this convenient three digit number that lenders go nuts over. I'm not saying the system is good or bad, but it's the system and you have to play by the rules of the game.
That being said, I've been using Credit Karma [3] to check my score every month. It's a TransUnion credit score based on TransUnion data, so not technically a FICO credit score, but since I don't plan on getting a loan, it's not important that I get the most accurate number. Plus, Credit Karma is free and I've already entered my information so I might as well take advantage of it. In the time I've been monitoring my score has increased from a 721 back in November of 2008 to a 731 just yesterday (May 28th).
The reason I check my score every month isn't because I want to know what the number is. In fact, I could care less because I'm not getting a loan. The reason I check is because it can give me an early indication if there's something fishy going on. It's like faux (and free) identity theft protection on my TransUnion credit report. I know what I do and I know how my credit score should be affected, so if I see any large changes in my score, I should check my TransUnion report for anomalies (one free check a year through AnnualCreditReport.com [4]!).
I think once a month is plenty but lots of people sign up for services like MyFICO [5] (which is not free after their 30 day trial) to check every day or week, I think that's probably too much.
How often do you check and why?

Take a meeting, take a number. Several dozen actors in Hollywood are taking meetings with J.J. Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy and the producers of "Star Wars: Episode VII." You can add to that mix Lupita Nyong'o, who recently won an Oscar for her role in Steve McQueen's "12 Years A Slave."
With "Girls" star Adam Driver being the only name that looks locked in right now (he'll play the new Darth Vader-like baddie apparently), contenders include John Boyega ("Attack The Block"), Ed Speleers (aka Jimmy Kent from "Downton Abbey"), theatre actors Matthew James Thomas and Ray Fisher, and the already-rumored "Breaking Bad" and "Friday Night Lights" star Jesse Plemons.
There hasn't been too much word of females in the mix for 'Star Wars' thus far. One early name that popped up, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" star Saoirse Ronan already confirmed to us that she took meetings, but she won't be in the movie.
Nyong'o is apparently in the running for a courtroom drama, "The Whole Truth," starring Daniel Craig. There's no word on what 'Star Wars' role she could be up for, but THR says "one possibility is that of a descendant of Obi-Wan Kenobi, which has been described as a non-Caucasian role. That is separate from the search for two roles, female and male, for characters in their twenties." That last part probably means, not one of the main leads rumored to be the children of Han and Leia. Latino Review first reported the news.

I saw the Coke can thing too and had to do a double take. I thought that's not a water bottle. One rider was taking a few sips then offered it to another who waved and passed on it.
Coca Cola's quite popular in the pro peloton.

It seems aquarel is the big drink sponsor. I have noticed all the stage winners are getting little trophies that have a silver water bottle on them, and aquarel is all over the board behind the winners presentation podium.

Coca Cola is not listed as an official supplier to the tour this year which seems to confirm your observations, i.e., the Coca Cola motorcycle and ever-present red Coca Cola water bottles are visibly missing from the tour this year.Originally Posted by RegularGuy
Regarding FIAT and Skoda, it would appear as though Skoda's partnership with the tour is limited to prize money and providing cars only for use by the official's vehicles. Personally, if I was a Director Sportif or team car driver or mechanic I'd be much happier operating out of the car I'd been using all season vs. trying to adjust to a new vehicle and roof rack systems. In that light, maybe it's not such a bad change.

Armed Libyans kidnap 100 Tunisian workers: rights group
Around 100 Tunisian workers have been kidnapped by armed men in western Libya, a rights group said Tuesday, but Libyan officials denied the claim, calling the incident a trivial dispute.
The Tunisian League for Human Rights said roughly 100 people working near the western town of Zaouia were seized by armed men who were demanding the release of four Libyans held in Tunisia.
The workers were taken hostage late Monday, Lassad Jamoussi, a league official, told AFP.
But Libya's interior ministry said that account was baseless.
"We deny this information. There was no kidnapping of any Tunisians," interior ministry spokesman Abdelmonem Ayad said without elaborating.
The vice-chairman of Libya's high security committee, which falls under the ministry of interior, also dismissed the reports, explaining that some Tunisians saw their journey interrupted by a sit-in.
A group of revolutionaries — former rebels — angered by the detention of three Libyans in Tunis had "held up a group of Tunisians in a bid to have them join their cause," Tarek Zambo told AFP.
"This does not constitute a kidnapping," he said.
"Furthermore the sit-in has been broken up and the Tunisians are free to go as they please. Some completed their journey to Libya, and others to Tunisia."
Zambo accused former members of slain leader Moamer Kadhafi's regime of provoking the unrest in the hope of "damaging relations" between the two countries, after finding refuge in southern Tunisia, near Libya.
The alleged abductions coincided with the kidnapping of another 80 Tunisians along the Tunisia-Libya border, according to the Tunisian foreign ministry's consular affairs chief, Samir Jemai.
Five Tunisian men were kidnapped in the same area on April 7 and released two days later.
The border zone is plagued by violence and black-market trade and has seen a surge of arms trafficking since the Libyan uprising that overthrew Kadhafi in August last year.

San Francisco: March 2012
San Francisco Global Immersion Weekend
Recap of the MBA@UNC Global Immersion in San Francisco, CA., March 13-18, 2012
In March 2012, MBA@UNC students, faculty and staff gathered for the second MBA@UNC Global Immersion in San Francisco. This course focused on entrepreneurial and innovative thinking. It featured meetings at Google's Mountain View headquarters; lessons from a venture capital panel with renowned panelists from Redpoint Ventures, Highland Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners and Synecor/Synergy Life Science Partners; and a visit with Pandora's CEO Joe Kennedy.
To kick-off the immersion, students and faculty enjoyed a welcome reception. The MBA@UNC leadership team, including MBA@UNC Associate Dean Doug Shackelford, addressed the students, who came from cities in California, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington, D.C. – as well as Kuwait and China.
To begin the academic sessions, students and faculty headed to Google's HQ in Mountain View, Calif. Brent Callinicos, VP of Treasury at Google and a UNC Kenan-Flagler alum, hosted the students for a series of presentations from Googlers about the company's culture of innovation, its media and platforms and its green initiatives.
They work for Tata, Lockheed Martin, active and former military, Deloitte Consulting, CNN, Bank of America, Charles Schwab, The Home Depot, Wells Fargo and many more organizations.

The session included a case study about Samasource, a non-profit that brings dignified, computer-based work to women, youth and refugees living in poverty. Patricia Li of Samasource joined the students for the discussion.

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
With hundreds of product launches on the show floor, WholeFooods editors pinpointed several trends from this year's show.
The natural products industry once again got together for a good cause at Vitamin Angels' 3rd Annual Expo West event, League of Angels. Over 400 people attended the charity fundraiser at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, where food and drink were available, as well as mini golf, a photo booth and paid batting cage sessions beneath the stadium, with proceeds going directly to the charity.
Held on International Women's Day, the 2013 Women in Naturals Networking Reception (sponsored by Reserveage Organics) brought together women of diverse backgrounds with a common love of natural.
Silver Spring, MD—On April 15, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed a rule entitled "Infant Formula: The Addition of Minimum and Maximum Levels of Selenium to Infant Formula and Related Labeling Requirements," which will do two things: add the nutrient selenium to the list of those required for infant formulas and establish a range of measurement for selenium that will be allowed in infant formulas. If this rule comes to fruition, selenium will be the 30th nutrient added to the mandatory list.
Washington, D.C.—The U.S Food and Drug Administration has issued a consumer alert against the use of the stimulant dimethylamylamine (DMAA) in illegal dietary supplements. DMAA is often found in weight-loss, muscle-building and performance-enhancing products.
Promotions, new hires, retirements and more.
News and happenings from Expo West 2013.
Anaheim, CA—The 33rd annual Natural Products Expo West drew record numbers, said show organizers, with a crowd of 63,000+ industry members and 2,428 exhibiting companies. Held at the Anaheim Convention Center, March 7–10, 2013, the event showcased numerous new product launches, educational seminars and networking events.
Acquisitions, mergers, awards, charity work, certifications, company news and more.
Washington, D.C.—In response to the growing number of adverse events related to energy drinks (especially from teens), three politicians—Representative Ed Markey (D-MA), Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL and Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)—investigated several companies that market energy drinks. The results of this investigation, released on April 10, revealed a label discrepancy between similar products on the market, false caffeine disclosure, and a youth-focused marketing campaign designed to emulate alcoholic beverages.

The obvious cranks, and front rings is a start. Do deraillers need to change? Shifters? What am I looking at?

Sunset By the Seine
I love this time of the day, around 5-7 p.m. When the sun is still warm but is starting to make its way down. When you can sit outside without being cold. And when the city gets kissed by that warm yellow light. This time is best spent along the Seine.
When the weather is good during a summer like this, you really have to make the most out of it! That means a fabulous, cozy and yummy picnic at Djurgården if you're in Stockholm.
Djurgården is a must if you were ever to visit the city. It's like an amazing oasis (and it's actually an island) in the middle of the city. To get here you can walk along the famous, and very beautiful, Strandvägen or take the tram.
My View, Part III
Here's the third part of photos about my view in the city of lights. I loved it even more when spring came and all the people started to gather along the border of the Seine… It gave the neighbourhood even more life than before and during the warm spring evenings you could hear laughter, music and people talking — the best sounds to fall asleep to.
Today's Detail
I can't get enough of nail polishes in light summery colours!
Doors in Paris
I love that the doors, and other details in Paris, just explodes in colour. You may think the city is lacking in colour but then you just have to take a closer look!
Pink Peonies
I always bought flowers for my Parisian apartment, as often as I possibly could. From a cute little flower shop, just around the corner from me, located here. These are my favourites!
Sunday Pleasures
This Sunday I meet up Malin for a late lunch at my favourite Bistro Berns in Stockholm. When the weather's good, or well, okay at least, you really have to take advantage of it during a "summer" like this.
Of course Malin looked gorgeous as always, with her stunning jewellery and clothes.
Even her shoes were adorable!
The weather is so weird. Sun one minute and dark clouds or even rain the next… Did I mention that it hailed the other week?
In July that is.
At the Market
The markets are something I really miss about Paris. If you're in the city you have to visit one of them, even if you don't want to buy something! It's such a great weekend pleasure to just stroll around and have a look.

GJS (frames by racer Jeff Utterback and his dad and brother) Had a unique head tube area, the top and down tube joined at the top of the head tube, and a thinner tube ran horizontally from the bottom of the head tube into the down tube with yet another thin tube further back, angled between the top and down tubes.
JMC made nice frames, especially in smaller sizes, they sponsored a lot of the fastest little guys (8-11 year olds) when I was racing.
Jeff Bottema made some sweet forks.
JAG - bikes from the same company that made Mongoose, as I recall.
Zeronine made ugly number plates and numbers, Haro was always cooler.
And 25 years later I still have a sore a** from my old UNI seat. a plastic seat bonded (no rails or adjustment hardware) to a fibreglass post, uncomfortable but the lightest setup you could get for racing. You could buy padded covers for them, but then you gained back some of that weight you lost.
Damn I miss my old P.K. Ripper....
The owner of JAG drove a big fat, 12 cylinder Jaguar - the Austin Power's one. Sweet!

A local school has been vandalized just weeks before classes are set to resume.
The vandalism apparently took place over the weekend at Kinterbish Elementary School in Cuba. When school officials arrived on Monday, they found windows broken out and thousands of dollars worth of damage to televisions and computers.
"Upon arriving, we learned that the school had pretty much been destroyed, vandalized," Sumter County Sheriff Tyrone Clark says. "The technology department was totally destroyed, television monitors, about ten so far. They are in the process of taking inventory of everything at the school. But from what the naked eye can see, basically everything electronically, technologically has been destroyed or taken."
Classes resume in Sumter County on August 9th.
