Life insurance isn't just for people who have kids or the elderly. Here are the top reasons you need to buy coverage.
If you don't have children, you might think you don't need life insurance. But coverage isn't limited to being used for replacement income only.
According to LIMRA, around 132 million people in the US use life insurance to protect their finances in some way. That boils down to about six in 10 people owning a policy. Still, 30 percent of Americans (or 70 million people), believe they need more coverage than they have.
So what are they using life insurance for? LIMRA notes that the main reasons people get a policy include:
Many people assume life insurance isn't necessary until you're ill or old. But your premium will generally cost less the healthier and younger you are when you first invest in it.
"The earlier you invest in life insurance, the more financially secure you and your family can be," says Life Happens. "For young adults in particular, life insurance will likely never be as affordable for them as it is today."
Here are the top reasons to buy coverage, no matter your age:
Let's start with the most popular reason people buy life insurance coverage; to pay for final expenses such as burial costs. After all, Parting.com states that the average funeral service can set you back $8,000 to $10,000.
By buying final expense insurance, a type of life insurance policy, you won't leave your family scrambling to figure out how to pay for your funeral. This way they can mourn without any extra financial stress. Final expense coverage or burial insurance can pay for costs such as a:
And if you're worried about high premiums because of a pre-existing disease, burial insurance is one type of insurance that generally doesn't require a medical exam.
If you do have children or other people who depend on your income, then getting coverage is a no brainer. You want to make sure that your dependents are taken care of when you pass away. Otherwise, they may be left with nothing and struggle with finances. Your policy might give them the money to pay for other future expenses such as college.
Parents with young children will likely want to have an insurance policy for this reason. Married couples, siblings, and parents with older kids might consider coverage as well if they're the main financial provider.
Even someone who isn't the breadwinner should think about getting life insurance. For instance, if one spouse stays at home with the kids and passes away, their family will need to pay for additional expenses like childcare.
"Any person who is depended on financially should consider buying life insurance—albeit for different reasons," notes Life Happens. "Whether a millennial with student loan debt, a newlywed with a mortgage, a stay-at-home parent who works full-time taking care of the family—life insurance can help your family and loved cover those costs should you unexpectedly die."
Buying a house is expensive, and is often the biggest investment someone makes in their life. Don't saddle your loved ones with your housing debt. You can make sure your house is paid off by buying whole or term life insurance. You might also want to buy mortgage life insurance.
Mortgage life insurance specifically pays off your mortgage costs. No money is given to your family members. Rather, the mortgage company is listed as your beneficiary and the policy is directly paid to them.
Generally though, traditional life insurance is a better option unless you've been denied term or whole coverage because of health issues. Mortgage life insurance, like burial coverage, can be bought without a medical exam. But, it also usually costs more than traditional coverage.
While a mortgage is likely a person's biggest expense, don't forget about other debts you might owe like medical bills, student loans, and credit card expenses. Life insurance can be used to pay off all of these costs so you won't leave behind a pile of bills.
Besides taking care of your family, life insurance can help make sure your business is preserved.
How? Many business owners take out loans backed by personal assets. If the business owner dies, the family can use a life insurance policy to pay for these debts. While you might think the family could just sell the business, they'd likely have to do so at a discount. In the end, the family may wind up with very little.
"One of the first things a business owner should consider is how to protect against events that may threaten the future of the business, like the death or disability of a proprietor, partner, or key employee," Life Happens explains.
Many people believe passionately in a cause, and want to make a difference before they die. You can list a charity as your beneficiary, thereby guaranteeing that your donations are made.
You may also donate a life insurance policy. This means you'll pay for coverage while the policy is set up in the charity's name. If you choose this method, you'll also benefit from tax deductions.
Did you know you can use your insurance policy as a way to make investments in stocks, mutual funds, and bonds? To do this, get variable life coverage.
A variable life policy is a type of whole life coverage that allows you to grow your policy quickly through these investments. But, this kind of policy also comes with more risk.
Variable life insurance allows you to increase your policy in a short amount of time. On the other hand, you could lose large sums of money just as easily. To give yourself some peace of mind, limit your risk by including a guaranteed minimum death benefit.
Whole life insurance plans include a cash value. If it isn't used as a death benefit, you'll be able to withdraw or borrow against it. Since you'll already be paying monthly premiums for your life insurance policy, this creates a "forced" savings plan that you can fall back on in the future.
Many people overestimate the cost of a life insurance policy, often believing coverage costs two times more than the actual price. In fact, 66 percent of Americans say the high cost of this insurance prevents them from buying it. But a policy doesn't have to put you in debt.
You can lower your monthly premiums by quitting smoking, looking for discounts and shopping around with multiple companies for the best rate.
If you get a permanent life insurance policy, your beneficiaries can collect the money from your policy tax-free. And you'll be able to withdraw from your policy without having to pay taxes.
You Can Sell Your Policy to Pay for Medical Expenses
If you have a terminal disease, you'll likely need extra money to pay for accruing medical bills. You may opt to cash in your policy through a viatical settlement or life settlement.
This agreement means the owner of the policy sells their coverage at a discounted rate and receives cash up front. The buyer gets the full amount the policy is worth when the original owner dies.
A: Almost anyone can benefit from having life insurance. It can give people peace of mind that their finances are in order and their family will be taken care of when they die.
A policy can help pay for funeral costs, a child's college tuition, mortgage payments, and any leftover debt. Beyond that, life insurance can be used as another savings source or as a backup way to pay for medical expenses if you have a terminal illness.
A: When you should buy life insurance varies person to person. Whether or not you're married, have kids, and your general health all factor into when you might want to consider buying a policy.
"I suggest looking into life insurance when you have life changing events happen to you like buying a house, having children, or even getting a promotion at work if you're getting a raise," says Josh Brein, president of Brein Wealth Management.
Brein explains that these life changes have an effect on your finances, often spurring the need for insurance protection. For instance, if you get a raise, you might want to increase your coverage because your family relies on your income more.
"[Life insurance] is a great way to protect your family from the future risk of potentially being without your income later on," Brien says. "More income now should mean more death benefit to replace that income should the need arise. Since most people are accustomed to upgrading their lifestyle when they get more money."
Similarly, if you buy a house, you'll need to think about how your loved ones will pay off your mortgage.
A: Unfortunately, figuring out how much life insurance you need isn't always as simple as multiplying your income by a certain number. The best way to find out how much your policy should be is to sit down with an insurance agent or at least use an online calculator.
You'll want to consider things like your age, location, your mortgage (if applicable), how many kids you have, your income, and your assets.
For a more detailed explanation, read our article that breaks down how to find an exact number.
A: If you think you're being overcharged for your life insurance policy, shop around! By comparing rates with other companies, you're guaranteed to find the most affordable price for the coverage you need.
Some insurers might also give discounts for being a veteran. In addition, you'll want to keep your agent up to date with any life changes such as getting married or having a baby. This will save you money in the long run. In fact, it's best to review your policy every year.
Another foolproof way to save? Quit smoking.
"Having a tobacco rating on your life insurance policy can double your premiums in some cases," Brein says. "I always tell my clients that if they smoke, they may want to consider quitting smoking before applying."
Besides tobacco use, insurance companies look at other lifestyle habits and health conditions to determine a person's life expectancy.
"Reporting weight loss, beginning a tobacco cessation program, and following prescribed treatment for chronic conditions can all result in savings on monthly premiums," Life Happens says.
Here are a few other suggestions on how to save from Life Happens:

The most Effective Fire Extinction Methods
There isn't one singular way to extinguish a fire. Depending on the type of fuel involved, the size and location of the fire itself, different firefighting techniques will be required. Should a fire break out in your workplace, it's definitely useful to be familiar with some of the methods you can use to tackle the blaze – with the aim of extinguishing or controlling the fire, instead of making it worse.
Removing oxygen from the fire
Remembering the fire triangle will form the basis of your fire fighting knowledge; removing any of the fundamental 'ingredients' of a fire will extinguish it, so let's start with removing oxygen from the fire.
Smothering a fire will cut off the oxygen supply that feeds the blaze; without that supply of oxygen, the fire will burn out. This principle is effective for commercial fires large and small. Here are a couple of examples:
- Using a fire blanket: Effective for small fires in initial stages, a fire blanket should be placed (not thrown) over a fire that is smaller in size than the blanket itself. Small cooking fires are commonly extinguished with blankets, but you can also use a blanket to put out a fire on somebody's clothes.
- Fire extinguishers: Different fire extinguishers are used to tackle different classes of fire, and some focus on removing oxygen. CO₂ extinguishers do this for electrical fires, while dry powder extinguishers do the same for solid fuel and liquid fires.
Cooling the fire
Removing the heat element of a fire means it cannot spread, and will eventually burn out. Water is the most common method of cooling a fire, and is typically used to fight solid fuel fires.
For cooking fires involving oil, standard water fire extinguishers should not be used – they only spread the oil, which can help the fire to spread further. For these kinds of fires, a wet chemical extinguisher should be used to reduce the temperature and extinguish the fire quickly.
Remove the fuel from a fire
The third element of the fire triangle: fuel. If you fail to cut off the fuel source, then the fire can re-ignite or be too persistent to extinguish altogether.
When we discussed fire blankets earlier, it's important to remember that, before using a blanket to smother the fire, you should cut off any fuel source. For electrical fires, this means turning off the power, for cooking/stove fires it means turning off the gas supply.
Without fuel to burn, a fire cannot grow or spread, so if you are able to starve the fire of flammable materials, then it will be easier to control and will extinguish much easier.
Know when to call for help
Knowing how to extinguish a fire doesn't always mean you'll be able to. Some fires are either too big or in an uncontrollable location, requiring immediate attention from emergency services.
If you do discover a fire, only tackle it if you know you are able to and have the right equipment to extinguish it. If the fire seems to large, has started to spread or your attempted fire extinction methods are not working, then evacuate the building and call the fire department.
Focused training sessions
The best way to prepare you and your employees for an emergency situation is through professionally-conducted training sessions. At Target Fire Protection, we deliver an in-depth fire theory certified course for up to 15 people. We offer a few variations of the course, including:
- 1 hour basic fire extinguisher course
- 2 hour standard fire extinguisher course
- 3 hour fire marshall training
Our courses involve fully supervised live fire demonstrations where your employees will have the opportunity to tackle small, controlled blazes to develop knowledge and confidence with the different firefighting techniques. If you're interested in this kind of training for your business, simply contact us to find out more.
Target Fire Protection are a leading supplier of fire extinguishers and fire prevention equipment in Manchester, Rochdale, Bury and Oldham and the rest of the UK. We help commercial businesses to build an effective and logical fire safety plan, and can also provide fire safety training and fire risk assessments for business owners and employees.

Fed up with cheating women, Dan Alexander, star pitcher for the New York Nighthawks, grew restless. Searching for something more than a bar babe, he zeroed in on a girl in the stands. He never expected to see a beautiful chick pushing frankfurters. But the hot dog girl looked as smokin' as the food she was selling.
Holly Merrill found a place to hide in plain sight, as a vendor at Nighthawks' stadium. Keeping her secret safe and simply happy to stay alive, she never considered finding love an option. After all, a bad girl doesn't deserve a decent guy, does she?
Coming off his best season ever, Dan went into the playoffs, hell bent on winning the pennant and playing in the World Series. But could he maintain his focus on the field, where everything was going right, when off the field everything was falling apart?
Have a taste:
Dan was tired. His six-foot-three-inch frame needed sleep. He raised his hand in greeting to Bud Magee as they passed in the hall, before the pitcher ran smack dab into a young woman. He would've knocked her to the ground, if he hadn't caught her first. He'd never seen her before, but her wide, blue eyes and hair the color of mink captured his attention.
"Excuse me, miss. I didn't see you." Though she felt good in his arms, he let go before she started to scream.
"Dan Alexander, one of our top pitchers. This is Holly Merrill. She's new. Gonna be selling hot dogs for us."
"Welcome," the ball player said, as his gaze slid down her curvy body.
"Thanks." She straightened her shirt and smoothed her jeans.
After shooting her a sexy grin, he tipped his cap and replied, "The top pitcher." With a chuckle, he disappeared into the locker room.
Then, it happened. She dropped a hot dog loaded with mustard. The man in the stands stood up and started hollering. Holly bent over to clean it up. The guy in the TV booth running the camera zeroed in on her ass, and there it was, cute and big as life on the Jumbotron!
People clapped and hooted. The players laughed. Dan held his breath. She craned her neck and looked around. Although Dan couldn't hear what the man was saying, the pitcher saw him point to the giant screen. Dan cringed as she spied her backside, huge, amusing the crowd.
Her hand few to her mouth. She picked up the cart and ran up the stairs.
The camera went back to the action on the field. Dan's stomach flipped. His heart melted. She didn't deserve that, and he wasn't sure she'd be able to deal with that kind of humiliation. The inning was over, and it was time for the seventh inning stretch. He looked for Holly, but couldn't find her anywhere.
He approached his manager. "Cal, need me?"
"You can hit the showers, Alexander. Game's almost over."
"Thanks." He left the dugout and headed for the concession stand. Bud Magee was behind the counter. Dan asked him where Holly was.
"What the hell happened? She dumped her cart and ran out of here like a bat out of Hell."
Dan explained then asked, "Where'd she go?"
"Damned if I know. Probably back to my place. She's a good kid, but she needs to get a sense of humor."
Dan thanked Bud and headed for the gate. He'd been to Bud's house many times for big dinners, especially during the off season, when they could drink what they wanted and stay up late. He saw a figure walking fast up the sidewalk. He broke into an easy lope and caught up with her. She had her head down and held a tissue to her face. A queasy feeling grabbed Dan's stomach. He hated crying women. He never knew what to do or say, and whatever he did only seemed to make them cry more.
He cupped her shoulder with his big palm. "Wait. Wait. Holly?"
She stopped in her tracks, but didn't turn around. He felt her tremble.
"Hey, come on. Nothing's that bad."
"You didn't have your ass, big as the Empire State Building, on TV." Her tone was sharp, but she had stopped walking.
"No, can't say I've ever had that honor. That I know of. They get shots of us when we don't know it. Some pretty embarrassing too."
She turned to face him. "Yeah? Like what?" She trained gorgeous blue eyes on him and rested her hands on her hips.
"Like a guy picking his nose or scratching his…his crotch." Now, Dan was the uncomfortable one. He raised his gaze to hers.
She was laughing.
"All I ask is that you not be an asshole. Is that too much?" Jake directed his request to Matt Jackson.
"Shut the fuck up," the catcher said, in a low voice.
Dan cracked up. "Sounds reasonable to me."
"Same goes for you," Matt said, pointing a finger at his friend.
"No stories. No fake names, okay? No hitting on the first woman you see. And, no hitting on Valerie!" Dan said.
"Afraid of a little competition?" Matt asked.
"I might be if it came from someone like Jake. But you? Uh, no!"
Matt pushed back into the seat and frowned.
Jake poked Dan. "Remember the time he told some chick his name was Pancho Villa?"
"And she didn't even know who Pancho Villa was, but Jackson wanted to sleep with her anyway," Dan said.
"Until he said he couldn't speak Spanish. Then, there was no way she was going home with him," Jake croaked out.
"Then, he told her he was a pro baseball player, and she didn't believe him. Remember what she said?" Dan could hardly speak he was laughing so hard.
"Yeah, yeah! She said, and I quote, 'next you'll tell me you're George Bush'."
At that, Jake and Dan doubled over, laughing until they cried. Even Matt couldn't stay angry. He joined his buddies. The men were still chuckling when the cab stopped in front of the club.

Using Operational Levers To Boost Supply Chain Performance
To remain competitive in today's environment, manufacturing companies are looking at boosting their supply chain performance. One of the key levers for improving supply chain is 'cost reduction' at various stages of the entire chain.
One such stage is the manufacturing plant which, it can be said is the center of the supply chain. Optimal handling of plant operations can have a hugely positive impact on the upstream and downstream supply chain. Some of the plant level strategies that can help manufacturers improve the performance of their supply chain are -
- Cycle Time Reduction: Organizations must optimize the various manufacturing operations (e.g., reduction in queue times at work center) to reduce cycle time. This leads to increase in throughput and lower inventory cost. Reduction in cycle time leads to improved time-to-market, thereby helping organizations to react to market changes quickly
- Small Batch Size: This strategy can be useful to plants that produce a high product-mix. For such manufacturers, batch size reduction reduces the inventory cost. In order for small batch sizes to work, the changeovers must be quick
- Reducing Downtime: Unplanned downtime is a 'waste' and plant staff should minimize downtime.
The above strategies, if adopted will lead to reduced inventory in the entire supply chain.
ERP systems along with Manufacturing Execution System (MES) help organizations track performance of a production line, the overall plant level performance and also the performance on various customer and supplier related parameters. The extensive data that get captured in the ERP and MES systems, can be used to implement an improvement plan to achieve manufacturing excellence

Brian Anania wins West Virginia Amateur
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Brian Anania shot an even-par 70 Friday to win his first West Virginia Amateur title by two strokes at The Greenbrier resort.
The Hurricane golfer finally broke through after top 10 Amateur finishes the past three years. He went ahead to stay on the back nine on the Old White TPC course in White Sulphur Springs and finished at 1-over 281.
Anania will return to Old White next month. For his Amateur win, he earned an exemption into the PGA Tour's Greenbrier Classic, which starts July 3.
Pineville's Evan Muscari finished second at 3 over after shooting 1-under 69 Friday. Wake Forest golfer Woody Woodward shot 72 and finished third at 5 over.
Alum Creek's Tad Tomblin and defending champion Sam O'Dell of Hurricane tied for fourth at 7 over.
Woodward, who trailed Anania by two strokes entering the final round, briefly took the lead with a birdie on the par-3 8th hole. Anania pulled even with a birdie at No. 9 and took the lead for good with a short birdie putt on the par-5 12th. Woodward made double bogey on the next hole to fall three strokes back.
Muscari had pulled within a stroke of the lead after a birdie at No. 10, but that's as close as he got.
Thirteen-time champion Pat Carter started the day four strokes out of the lead but bogeyed two of the first four holes to fall further back. He finished tied for ninth.

Report N1 (added on June, 16, 2016)
Hello !
I would like to warn everyone.
Nina Anindita Risty from Indonesia, born 20.05.1994, is a scammer.
She contacted me via Facebook (she's friend of my friend who I know in real life). One day she asked me to lend her money because she's got sick and lost her documents and that she lost her mother due to cancer. I imagined myself in her situation and I felt pain in my heart. She lost her documents so she asked me to send money to his friend. That worried me, but I still felt sad about this woman. I sent money with Western Union. After several days she asked for money again. She tried to call me. She swore with Allah that she's dying and she needs medical help which is expensive so she needs money again. She sent me vocal messages in Facebook with moans. Also she said that she needs to go to hospital, but cant afford room in hospital so she asked me to pay hotel room just near hospital because she lives too far from it and its difficult to come there. I asked her to send documents about her health conditions, but she always had an excuse (today its too rainy, oh i was too busy, oh internet is too slow,etc). I sent first payment in February. And I still have no evidence that she's sick and she spent my money on her health. I tried to contact her Facebook friends. But they almost immediately block me and notify Nina that I contacted them. Nina told me not to annoy her friends with my messages. She promised and swore to Allah that she'll send me her health documents and money back, but now she blocked me. So I finally decided that she's a scammer.

Yes, but note the fine print
Richardson is correct, but doesn't mention the fine print.
In touting his economic record as New Mexico's governor, Richardson's campaign produced a TV ad noting the pace of the state's job growth while he's been in office. Although the state was ranked sixth in August 2006 for job growth, it most recently ranked 15th. A more accurate statement would be to say that the state "ranked as high as sixth in the nation."

National News Roundup
The condition of children in the United States is a "national disgrace,'' a report released last month by the Children's Defense Fund concludes.
According to the report, an annual assessment of the state of America's children, 1991 saw the highest number of children living in poverty--14.3 million--since 1965. Contrary to popular stereotypes, it says, most poor children are white, have a parent who works, and live outside of large cities.
Drawing on federal and other data, the report also notes that fewer than 60 percent of 2-year-olds are fully immunized in most states, and that in 1991 there were six times as many cases of childhood measles and rubella and twice as many cases of whooping cough as in "the best year of the 1980's.''
The report, which offers state-by-state data on key measures of child well-being, concludes that without comprehensive aid, millions of children will be left "unready for school; unsafe in their neighborhoods; and victims of needless illness, disability, and death.''
The report contains a number of policy recommendations on Head Start, child health, and other issues for the incoming Clinton Administration and Congress. (See related story, page 33.)
Copies of the report, "The State of America's Children 1992: Leave
No Child Behind,'' are available for $14.95 each from the Children's
Defense Fund, 25 E St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20001.

CAIRO: The Egyptian pound slid on Thursday to its lowest level since January 2005, but later regained some ground after foreign investors bought pounds to invest in the stock exchange, bankers said.
The pound weakened to as low as 5.9615 to the US dollar from 5.952 on Wednesday, but during the last 15 minutes of trade pulled back to 5.950.
"It seems foreign investors are buying EGP to enter the stock exchange," said a currency trader at a Cairo-based bank.
Another Cairo-based banker said many of the purchases were by Gulf-based investment funds who wanted pounds to invest in local shares.
The central bank, which pushed the pound down in a large intervention on Feb. 8, said it was not behind the pound's last-minute strengthening.
"We did not intervene," Deputy Governor Hisham Ramez said by telephone.
Analysts had said Egypt's poor economic outlook, weak currency and political uncertainty after two months of political unrest may drag down share prices by as much as 30 percent in coming weeks.
They had also forecast the currency will come under pressure in the coming days as foreign investors sell shares on the Egyptian stock exchange, which reopened yesterday after political unrest had kept it closed for more than seven weeks.
But on Thursday, the broad index confounded many expectations when it rose 0.8 percent. The benchmark index fell 3.7 percent.
Luis Costa, head of CEEMEA debt and forex strategy at Citi, said early on Thursday that he believed the central bank would allow the pound to depreciate slowly.
"I believe this is heading to 6 per dollar in the near future," he said. "At this point they see no point in leaning against the wind and depleting FX reserves." –With additional reporting by Sujata Rao in London

The Most Dangerous Game

The Most Dangerous Game
Analyzing Conflict
I find that the most important part of this story is how the plot moves along so quickly. It also manages to describe successfully each conflict or major part of the story. The key element of the plot is when Zaroff and Rainsford play the game. The main conflict would be external which is man verses man, or Zaroff verses Rainsford. There are three major conflicts of man that can be found in Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game." In the rest of this short essay I will utilize the elements of compositions and also identify and explain the three conflicts of man found in this story.
The first conflict of man found in "The Most Dangerous Game" is when man verses nature. An example provided from the story would be when Rainsford falls off the boat and then swims to the Island. When he falls into the water the speeding yacht slaps water on to his face and he gags and struggles to get to the surface. When he does reach the surface the boat is long gone and left him behind, he then starts swimming to the nearby island. Rainsford heard pistol shots but couldn't figure which animal it was, so he went into the dense forest. This example fits the stories criteria because it is the first chain of events that sparks the rising action.
The second conflict of man found in the story is when man verses man. An example supplied by the story would be when Rainsford meets Zaroff and plays his game. Rainsford is searching through the jungle for the shot he heard. He then comes across a mansion, when he goes in, there is a man standing pointing a large revolver dead at his heart. Rainsford then speaks up and says, "I'm no robber. I fell off a yacht. My name is Sanger Rainsford of New York City." The persons name is General Zaroff and then introduces himself to Rainsford. When they are done, Zaroff challenges Rainsford to a game of hunting and if Rainsford wins Zaroff would cheerfully acknowledge himself defeated. If Rainsford loses he would be enslaved in his castle; Rainsford accepts his challenge and Zaroff will start hunting at night.
The third conflict of man found in the short

Not long after compiling the two installments of the World's Worst Chocolate Bars, I realized there are other bars on the market that didn't make the cut the first go around. I based my list purely off of ordinal rankings from Seventypercent without considering certain subjective values that, as it turns out, are more important than I realized. I also revisited several bars, reviewing and re-scoring each one as they stood at the time of tasting.
The World's Worst Chocolate Bars – Dishonorable MentionsApril 23, 2009
Taza ChocolateApril 22, 2008
Usually, a bar of good quality chocolate is smooth and well-rounded, its flavors controlled and modified to fit a maker's idea of what he believes to be the ideal flavor profile for an origin or blend. Taza, however, has a different approach. They want to leave the intrinsic qualities of the beans in a more pristine form, as unprocessed and unrefined as you can get without being unpalatable.
Askinosie Nibble BarsApril 19, 2008
In my first Askinosie post, I focused on the two unflavored, single origin bars currently in production by Askinosie. Now, I want to turn my attention to the Nibble Bars, which are basically the same chocolates but studded with nibs on the surface. Normally, I don't care for such bars, but the Del Tambo bar was just too addictive, while the Soconusco bar, rather mysteriously, was very disappointing.
Askinosie – Soconusco & San Jose Del TamboApril 5, 2008
The letter A is becoming quite heavily populated among the artisan bean-to-bar makers nowadays. First Amedei, then Amano, and now Askinosie (all of which end in vowels, by the way). Named after its founder, Shawn Askinosie, Askinosie is just one of seven companies in the USA that produces small batches of chocolate bars straight from the beans.
TCHO – Beta BarApril 2, 2008
When I heard of TCHO (pronounced "choh," the T is silent), I was quite excited to learn that a new bean-to-bar operation had decided to ply its chocolaty wares in the quickly growing arena of small-scale artisan producers. In a little more than three years, seven such companies have sprung up (DeVries, Amano, Askinosie, Patric, Taza, Rogue, and now TCHO) with such a speedy inertia that England is now getting in on the fun.
The World's Worst Chocolate Bars, Part 2March 23, 2008
Although these remaining bars are pretty bad in just about every way imaginable, I have a confession to make. The quality of these bars can, and probably will, change over time, so I'm not making any guarantees that this list will be valid next year, next week, or even tomorrow. Valrhona's Le Noir Extra Amer 85% might actually be pretty good in the future, and Venchi may have even developed a taste for dark chocolate.
The World's Worst Chocolate Bars, Part 1March 16, 2008
We often speak of bars that enthrall the senses in ways that only a particular origin can; or those that deliver a breadth of flavor only achievable through a proprietary blend or a distinct set of processing standards. Dozens of these bars come to mind, and they indeed deserve praise and admiration, but now is not the time. Instead, I want to focus on the other end of the spectrum, the amazingly hideous bars that make you cringe at the mere thought of them.

The report said that Jio may roll out its services in the first half of 2016-17. It added that CRISIL has assigned "AAA" rating for non-convertible debentures (NCDs).
"RJIL will remain strategically important to RIL, which will continue to provide strong management and financial support to the subsidiary," the report said.
In January this year, Jio n a stock exchange filing had said that will raise Rs.15,000 crore through a rights issue. The company did not disclose why it was raising such a large sum.
The telco has the largest holding of pan-India liberalised spectrum, and the unified license, which makes it the only player that can offer voice telephony along with 4G data services across all 22 circles in the country.
Reliance Industries Limited invested Rs 30,000 crore in Jio in the form of equity as on December 31, 2015.
The rating agency is of the view that large liberalised spectrum holding of 751 MHz and technological advancements in LTE technology will enable Jio to reap benefits in the market. However, CRISIL said that these rating strengths are partially offset by RJIL's exposure to implementation and technology risks pertaining to the roll-out of the telecommunications (telecom) services.
Reliance Jio is likely to spend more than Rs 1000 crores on commercial launch, according to a report by Exchange4media.
The report said that Jio's mobile phone services are expected to be formally launched sometime next month.
Jio has been planning to position itself as a digital content company to make it distinct from other mobile phone operators in an intensely competitive market, with content streaming packages a key element of this strategy. Jio is currently rolling out a pan-India digital services business with digital content, applications and services. It already holds 751.10 MHz of liberalised spectrum across the 800MHz, 1800MHz and 2300MHz bands.
The launch of Reliance Jio Infocomm will intensify competition which will squeeze the market share, EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) margins and credit metrics of incumbents, credit ratings agency India Ratings and Research recently said.

Citing "considerable financial harm" inflicted upon Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Federal Housing Finance Agency's Office of the Inspector General is recommending that the FHFA sue its servicers and lender-placed insurance providers because the companies cost the GSEs hundreds of millions of dollars by charging excessively high rates for LPI.
In the OIG report, it estimates that the high LPI rates cost the GSEs $158 million in 2012.
The FHFA's general counsel said, in response to the OIG's investigation, that it had not considered litigation yet but will take the issue under advisement and consider litigation in the future.
If the FHFA does decide to sue, analysts from Compass Point Research and Trading suggest that nonbank servicers could be prime targets.
"If the FHFA were to attempt to recover 'damages' related to excessive fees on lender-placed insurance, we do not expect any potential litigation to be a significant hit to the large banks involved in servicing large delinquent portfolios," Compass Point said. "But it could have a material impact on special servicers that have a less diversified revenue base and service highly delinquent GSE mortgage portfolios."
The nonbank servicers at the forefront of the potential litigation are Walter Investment Management (WAC) and Nationstar (NSM). According to Compass Point, Ocwen Financial Corporation (OCN) does not charge lender-placed insurance commissions on GSE servicing and therefore would not be a target for litigation.
Compass Point suggests that Walter would be the most "exposed" to the potential litigation. "WAC recorded $85 million of revenue and $46 million of pretax income from their insurance segment during 2013, of which 65% of the policies written were for lender-placed insurance," Compass Point's analysts noted.
"Lender-placed insurance is significantly more expensive than voluntary homeowners' insurance and we estimate the total insurance commissions from lender-placed policies could be 70%+ of total insurance revenue for WAC."
Compass Point said that Nationstar has less exposure to legal action because its LPI commissions are a much smaller percentage of its overall revenue stream.
"Although it remains to be seen whether the FHFA will take legal action, the potential litigation related to lender-placed policies could be an incremental negative for Walter and a slight negative for Nationstar," Compass Point's analysts said.

While I have been battling intergalactic martians in Soho this week. Dean has been at warp speed with creating a new fabulous identity for David Bonner's Sci-Fi Action Series Free Runnerz. This is what he beamed down and I wanted to share it with you Earthlings. Free Runnerz is a 3D CGI animated series of 52 x 15 minute episodes set in the not too far off future. In an Earth that has had its environment ruined by profit guzzling business conglomerates and non-visionary politicians, a cruel alien race, invisible to humans, waits in the shadows to make their move. This slightly dark and edgy animated series has a group of unlikely 8-16 year old orphans known as the 'Free Runnerz' as the heroes.
Free Runnerz is one of many of David's projects. Originally an Inspector in the Northumbria Police, David medically retired in 1998 after being assaulted on duty. He moved on to become involved in the children's animation industry, creating original ideas, character origination and development. Also script writing and script editing whilst securing commissions as a producer for many award winning animated children's shows.
During his time, David has been the creator and writer, producer on the animated BBC commissioned show The Lampies, which sold in over 70 countries. As well creating both Doctor Otter and Sergeant Stripes which sold internationally and were also commissioned by the BBC.
He is due to start pre-production as co-writer and co-producer on the new British movie Tick Tock Boom some time this year.

Several of the main elements were used in both spaces, but we swapped the red for a muted pink and the lumberjack feel for a little whimsy by way of snowflakes and texture. And, again, all of these items are from Target. There are so many great deals that can really transform your child's space. I can't wait to get to work in my girls' rooms!

John Brantley was hoping to lead Florida to a resurgence this year and he needed this season to jump into the NFL Draft conversation.
It does not appear he was able to do that. In his first year under OC Charlie Weis' system and fighting through injuries, Brantley completed 58.9 percent of his passes, threw for 1,912 yards and had 10 touchdown passes against six interceptions.
ESPN NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay believes that will not be good enough to get Brantley drafted, but expects some teams to be interested in signing him later.
"I'll be surprised if he gets drafted, but he still has a chance as a free agent and can get a couple years to plug away," McShay said.
"He looks at times like he's got a shot. He has a nice delivery and can make all the throws. I just question that he gets it. He's a little bit late with his reads."
McShay also listed Brantley's durability, mental toughness and athleticism as deterrents to NFL teams that might consider him.
Brantley was named the top high school player in the country by Gatorade five years ago and set the state record for career touchdown passes while playing for Trinity Catholic in Ocala.
He has the build to play in the NFL at 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, and seems best suited for a pro-style offense. He also appears to have enough arm strength to play in the pros.
Former Gators coach Urban Meyer used him in the spread-option offense last year and he struggled. In his first five games (against Florida Atlantic, Alabama-Birmingham, Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama) under Weis' pro-style attack this year, Brantley completed 64.7 percent of his attempts for 942 yards and had five touchdowns and three interceptions.
He suffered a high right ankle sprain near the end of the first half against Alabama and missed the next two games.
In his final five games (against Georgia, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Furman and Florida State), he completed 54.1 percent of his passes for 970 yards and had five touchdowns and three interceptions.
"He's a little limited as an athlete, but he's got potential," McShay said. "Things never went his way. The system wasn't right for him early on and he was discouraged last year. Then this year he was banged up a lot."
The players who have the best chance of being drafted this spring are RB Jeff Demps, RB Chris Rainey and DT Jaye Howard. Brantley and WR Deonte Thompson could be late-round picks.
This probably will be the first draft since 2006 in which the Gators did not have a player taken in the first round.

The company has plans prepared for a range of EVs that would compete with the likes of BMW and Tesla. In a market where innovation is seen as valuable, getting on board with electrification could help Audi avoid appearing out of step with the rest of the crowd (and the market), with analysts predicting a sharp uptick in battery-powered cars in the next several years.
Building on the E-Tron line, which already includes the A3 E-Tron, Audi will begin offering an electric version of its R8 supercar in Europe next year. According to two confidential sources at Audi, the company also has plans for high-performance electric sedans and SUVs. It appears as though Audi is taking direct aim at Tesla with alternatives to the current Model S and the upcoming Model X SUV.
Advantage: Audi?
Without getting into too many specifics about such plans, the sources did confirm the existence of blueprints for an Audi Q8 E-Tron. Audi has said that any future electric cars would have a target range of 400 kilometers (about 249 miles), but previous reports suggest that the Q8 E-Tron could have a range of about 370 miles. That could be a serious challenge for Tesla. Advantage: Audi?
All the German automakers have electric tricks up their sleeves. BMW has its i line, with the i3 making headway and the i8 expected to sell well. Mercedes-Benz has gotten into the game the B-Class Electric Drive. Also, its parent company Daimler has a stake in Tesla. Now, Audi appears poised to launch its own diverse electric fleet, and the next move might just be an SUV. And while this added competition might seem like tough news for Tesla, the proliferation of EVs, and the growing infrastructure that goes along with it, is more likely a tide that raises all (electric) ships – something that Elon Musk seems to understand very well.

Ask the Experts Question: I want a 4K desktop/1080p 60FPS gaming PC, which parts do I upgrade?
I want to upgrade my gaming PC to game at 1080p @ 60FPS, which parts should I buy?
I have a few generations old Core i7-2600 3.40 GHz and an NVIDIA GTX 760, I want to do 4K desktop and 1080p60Hz gaming, do I upgrade the CPU/MB combo or video card or both?
Hey there Waldo,
Okay, so you want to upgrade your older Intel Core i7-2600 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 with something a bit more powerful. You haven't said you wanted it just for one thing (4K desktop) or the other (1080p 60FPS gaming), so I'm going to go with the latter - as the former, 4K desktop use, will come for free with the upgrade.
You're asking if you should upgrade the CPU and motherboard, or just the GPU - but I think you should upgrade the GPU and leave the CPU/MB upgrade for the future. If you're wanting a new GPU that will provide you with the power of running a 4K desktop, while gaming at 1080p/60FPS, then a new GPU would be my recommendation. Even something like the GeForce GTX 960 will run 1080p/60FPS in most games on the market, and cost less than $200.
I would wait to see what you think of the GPU upgrade and the added performance before you spend money on the CPU/MB upgrade. You'd need a new CPU, motherboard and RAM if you do decide to do that, as well as a reinstallation of Windows. Whereas, with the GPU upgrade you just have to take the old one out, pop the new one in, and enjoy added gaming performance.

Every manager dreads the employee who wallows in his own despair. You know the type. They are not happy unless they are unhappy. They contaminate the air and distract your team from its mission. They demand attention for their woes but rarely proffer a solution—or worse, rarely act to create a positive outcome. They'd rather point out the failings of others, including you, than be accountable for their own well-being.
Sadly, with the financial services business facing such an acute talent shortage, more firms are indulging such behavior for fear of losing a capable person—even one who is not living up to her potential or who is undermining the firm's culture. Do we really have to accept such a state of affairs?
[Read Angie Herbers' July column on how to keep employees happy.]
In a recent forum involving Pershing clients, the subject of people and culture was top of everybody's mind. One executive remarked that his singular focus for the past year was building an organization where the right people were matched to the right jobs, and where motivated individuals could flourish. In order to accomplish his people development goals, he said, he had to begin with himself. By coincidence, amidst this soul searching, he heard a former Harvard professor of psychology named Shawn Achor speak on the power of happiness in transforming individuals and businesses.
The executive said Achor's talk caused him to rethink everything, from how he greeted employees to how he conducted meetings. "Now," he shared, "instead of starting company meetings with all the crap that's bothering me, I begin by identifying three things that make me happy. It's remarkable how this changes the tenor of the discussion and the commitment to producing a solution and an optimal outcome."
Inspired by this discussion, I picked up a copy of Achor's book, "The Happiness Advantage." While much of the content may seem intuitive, the author deftly helps the reader understand how happiness creates success and how we can employ seven specific, proven patterns to improve achievement:
The Happiness Advantage. Because positive brains have a biological advantage over brains that are neutral or negative, this principle shows us how to retrain our brains to capitalize on positivity and improve our productivity and performance.
The Fulcrum and the Lever. Our mindset shapes how we experience the world. This principle teaches us how we can adjust our mindset to be more optimistic and create the power to be more successful.
The Tetris Effect. When our brains get stuck in a pattern of negativity, we set ourselves up to lose. This principle explains how to retrain our brains to spot patterns of possibility, so we can see—and seize—opportunities wherever we look.
Falling Up. In the midst of defeat, stress and crisis, our brains map different paths to help us cope. This principle is about finding the mental path that leads us up out of failure or suffering to create new success.
The Zorro Circle. When we are overwhelmed by challenges, our emotions take over our rational brain. This principle empowers us to regain control, first by focusing on small, manageable goals, and then gradually expanding our circle to achieve bigger ones.
The 20-Second Rule. Sustaining lasting change often feels impossible because of our limited willpower; when willpower fails, we fall back on our old habits and succumb to the path of least resistance. This principle shows how, by making small incremental adjustments, we can reroute the path and replace bad habits with good ones.
Social Investment. During times of stress some of us choose to retreat within ourselves and to reject social interaction—but the most successful people have strong relationships with friends, peers and family members. This principle inspires us to invest more in one of the greatest predictors of excellence, our social support network.
"The Happiness Advantage" can be a powerful force for managing a financial services firm. As an industry, we have endured a period of high stress, material loss and even crisis. Our clients have suffered, but so surely have the people who work in our business and we ourselves. As Achor observed in his book, "Rarely have I seen an optimistic and motivated worker under the supervision of a pessimistic, apathetic manager. As leaders go, so go their employees." How leaders and those within the organization comport themselves at all times, but especially in difficult times, can predict the outcome of a crisis.
Shawn Achor's lessons are critical in the process of hiring and developing people. So often I hear leaders of financial services firms lament the poor quality of people whom they interview for jobs. Some attribute this to generational differences, the diminishing interest in entrepreneurship, or other factors not within their control. In reality, there are many examples of outstanding people who work in this industry, who bring energy and joy to their work and commitment to the mission of their employer. But when the manager has low expectations, their expectations are often fulfilled—and the unhappiness cycle continues.
If you have surrounded yourself with individuals who are not achieving their potential and who seem to be chronically sad, whiny and unhelpful, then it's time to ask what is inhibiting their success. While it's possible that they are mismatched to their jobs, more likely they need an attitude adjustment. That change starts with you, as their leader, and your level of optimism, energy and passion.
Think about each person who drags down your business and determine whether their attitude can improve with effort. If you believe that your people want to make that effort, just as they want to find meaning and fulfillment in their jobs, then convey your conviction and commitment in your daily words and actions.
Achor argues that optimists cope better in stressful situations and are able to maintain high levels of well-being during times of hardship, allowing them to sustain outstanding performance in a demanding work environment.
Promote optimism in your firm culture. Achor writes that adversity is the event we can't change, and belief is our reaction to the event. If we believe there are solutions, we see adversity as temporary and an opportunity for growth. But if we feel helpless, then our actions or inaction will bring negative consequences.
For leaders of financial advisory firms, it is important not to tolerate bad attitudes and chronic unhappiness. The strength of your culture dictates your ultimate success. While different people are motivated by different things, those who do not take responsibility for their happiness will, over time, infect your organization with their malaise—and hinder your performance as an enterprise.
Ultimately, this is the challenge for those who manage advisory firms today: It is not about just you anymore, or even the clients you serve, though both are critical. Real transformation in the advisory business occurs when its leaders recognize that much has changed, where markets can't camouflage the sins of mismanagement, where expanded span of control means loss of control, and where high performance comes from getting the right people to do the right things in an environment that supports them. Negative cultures bleed companies of their lifeblood. Happy workplaces are ultimately better for all stakeholders—clients, owners and the people who work within your firms.

Karnataka: Shimoga Institute of Medical Sciences (SIMS) recently operated a 7-yr old girl with a hypodermic needle in her buttocks.
The girl Kusuma had gone to a doctor for her fever treatment earlier on March 01. However when she returned home she had the needle stuck inside the tender muscle of her buttocks. She was then required to undergo a 2-hr surgery at SIMS. The needle has now been removed and she is slowly recovering.
The nurse had reportedly administered an injection on Kusuma after the doctor suggested to give her (Kusuma) an injection for fever. However, when back home Kusuma complaint of a pain in her buttocks which was severe. So, her parents took her to the same doctor again and it was only later revealed during an X-ray that the injection needle was insider her buttocks.
................................ Advertisement ................................
More shocking is the fact that upon removal it was discovered (as it appeared) that the whole needle was inside her buttocks; not just a portion of it which could have been broken while injecting. Nurse had absolutely no clue on the incident.
................................ Advertisement ................................
As reported by Bangalore Mirror, enraged over the entire incident, the parents filed a police complaint against the hospital for negligence. Then the child was taken to the SIMS.
"The surgery which began at 9 am finally ended at 11.30 am. Locating a needle was not an easy job for us," SIMS director Dr BV Sushil Kumar said.
Five surgeons removed the needle using a mobile C-arm (a medical imaging device based on X-ray technology and connects X-ray source to an X-ray detector). "Due to the girl's frequent movement, the needle had moved towards her spine. She suffered a lot of pain because of it," Dr Kumar added.

Tips for Landlords: How to Complete the Security Deposit Itemization Form
After you, as the landlord, have inspected the rental unit and determined the proper charges, you need to prepare the Security Deposit Itemization Form. Complete this form and give the vacating resident a check for any balance due within your state's maximum time guidelines.
Most states allow rental property owners 14 to 30 days to complete the accounting, but several states have no specific legal deadline. Make sure you don't wait until the last minute because the consequences in most states are severe, including forfeiting your rights to any deductions and paying punitive damages.
When listing charges on your Security Deposit Itemization Form, take out your digital camera or video recorder and take the following steps to carefully document repairs and associated costs:
State the item that's damaged.
List all damaged flooring, window coverings, fixtures, appliances, and pieces of furniture separately.
Note the specific location of the damage.
Document the room and which wall, ceiling, or corner of the room the damage is located. Use compass directions, if possible.
Comment on the type and extent of the damage.
Be sure to describe the damage in detail by using appropriate adjectives, such as filthy, substantial, excessive, minor, scratched, stained, soiled, ripped, cracked, broken, inoperative, missing, burned, or chipped.
Note the type and extent of repair done.
Describe the repair using words such as spackle, patch, paint, steam clean, deodorize, or refinish. Indicate if an item is so damaged that it has to be replaced and, if so, why. Indicating the item's age is helpful, especially if it was new when the resident first occupied the rental unit, and its life span was supposed to exceed the length of the tenancy.
Document the cost of the repair or replacement.
List exactly how much you spent or plan to spend based on a third-party estimate. Include copies of receipts whenever possible.
Be specific. For example, if you merely indicate "Pet damage — $100" on the Security Deposit Itemization Form, you're likely to be challenged. However, if you provide details like "Steam cleaned carpeting in living room to remove extensive pet urine stains — $100" and include your actual receipt, you greatly improve your chances of winning if the matter gets to court. (In fact, maybe you won't be challenged in the first place.)
Don't deduct from the security deposit unpaid rent that the resident withheld for good reason, such as the landlord failing to respond to a maintenance request regarding something that made the rental unit uninhabitable for a certain amount of time. If you're unsure why a resident hasn't paid the rent, find out before deducting it from the security deposit.

Do you worry that your dentures will taste like metal? Or, perhaps you're allergic to dental alloys? We know these are very real issues that prevent many people benefiting from dentures.
Advancements in metal-free denture technology mean dentures are now a real option for people with allergies and reactions to metals.
Recognising an increased need for metal-free dentures in Australia, Elias Sara travelled to Germany and undertook specific training in this field. He is one of an extreme few dental prosthetists within Australia to have done this and it means Aesthetic Denture Clinic can now offer you solutions that only a few years ago, were unimaginable.
We've handpicked several types of allergy/metal free dental prosthetics to show you. But, with a world of possibilities available, if the perfect solution for you isn't mentioned here, we can certainly find it for you.

Welcome to the Comics Should Be Good Top 100 Comic Book Storylines poll!
The first Storylines poll was back in 2009. The last one was in 2013. We're on an every four years schedule here.
It's time to vote for your top ten all-time favorite comic book storylines!
Here's the deal. You folks all vote via e-mail (send your votes to firstname.lastname@example.com) up until 11:59 PM Pacific time, October 31st. I'll tabulate all the votes and I'll begin a countdown of the winners starting some time in early November.
Sound good?
Okay, read on for the guidelines!
1. Vote via e-mail, to firstname.lastname@example.com.
2. Vote for your ten favorite comic book storylines. Vote for TEN – less than ten storylines and I don't count your ballot.
3. Rank your ten favorite comic book storylines from #1 (your most favorite) to #10 (your 10th most favorite). I'd prefer it if you actually numbered your entry, #1-10. It's easier for me to count.
4. Your top choice will be given 10 points, your second choice 9, etc.
5. A comic book storyline is a main plotline that continues under one title, whether it be the title of the comic it appears in (like Avengers Disassembled in Avengers or the Rock of Ages in JLA) or the title of a crossover (like Crisis on Infinite Earths, Wrath of the First Lantern, Kraven's Last Hunt, Seven Soldiers, etc.).
Note that occasionally a non-explicitly labeled storyline might begin in one book and continue in another, like, say, the first Ra's Al Ghul storyline going in between Batman and Detective Comics or the Magus Saga beginning in Strange Tales and continuing to Warlock's own (resurrected) book or the Sise-Neg storyline beginning in Marvel Premiere and continuing into Doctor Strange's ongoing title. Those storylines are allowed, and I think I can trust that you folks can figure out when something like that happened.
6. A comic book storyline must be at least two issues long. One-off stories need not apply. Sadly, that eliminates graphic novels like the great Asterios Polyp and Fun Home and one-shots like The Killing Joke, but, well, them's the breaks.
7. Unless clearly labeled as a storyline, there is a 12-issue limit for storylines (this is to dissuade votes like "Preacher #1-60" as one storyline). Galactic Storm is clearly labeled a storyline, even though it lasts more than 12 issues, same with Church and State in Cerebus. For sake of ease, I recommend going by how the trade paperbacks split long runs up. But really, I am only picking 12 as an arbitrary number to keep people from trying to say, like, Warren Ellis' run on Transmetropolitan was one storyline. It wasn't. It was lots of smaller storylines that added up to a nice big narrative. Sort of like Preacher. They're runs, not storylines. Don't vote for runs for storylines. Anyhow, 12 is not some hard and fastened rule. If you know of a storyline that you think applies and it is a little more than 12 issues long, I'll almost certainly end up allowing it. Just not "All of Mark Waid and Chris Samnee's Daredevil is like, one big story, man." Stop it.
8. When listing your storyline, just try to make it clear what you're talking about.
9. I'll make various decisions in the interest of fairness.
10. If you have questions/clarification requests, feel free to ask them to me via e-mail (at firstname.lastname@example.com. Subject your question something that makes it clear that you're asking a question rather than voting, so I don't toss your question into the voting folder. And don't ask questions in your vote. Ask first and then vote). Here are some common things people often need clarifcation on.…
A. As noted by the first Ra's Al Ghul storyline counting as a storyline, stories can count as stories even if they are not continuous. To wit, I'll allow the "Elektra Saga" in Daredevil as being #168, 174-182, 187-190.
B. Serialized stories still count as storylines. So Maus counts, Jimmy Corrigan counts, David Boring counts, Ghost World counts, From Hell counts, "Weapon X" counts, etc.
C. Self-contained mini-series count as storylines.
D. Ultimates II counts as one storyline, Ultimates I counts as two storylines (the initial story where they fight the Hulk and then the second story where they fight the Chitauri).
D. 52 is not a storyline. There are individual storylines WITHIN 52 that you can vote for, but not 52 as a whole.
E. Long Halloween and Dark Victory are separate storylines.
F. Immortal Iron Fist is multiple storylines, but I'll allow the Brubaker/Fraction run to count as one storyline.
G. Runaways Volume 1 can count as one storyline.
H. Green Lantern/Green Arrow's "Hard Travelin' Heroes" doesn't count as a storyline. That's a run, not a storyline. Like Mod Wonder Woman, it wasn't intended as a storyline, it was intended to be a new direction. It just ended too soon.
I. Jack Kirby's Fourth World Sage is a run, not a storyline.
Most importantly, have fun!
Now vote! ?

Smog in China is currently so bad in Beijing that if you want to see the sunrise, you have to see it on video.
New York Times correspondent Edward Wong retweeted this photo by Wang Jinghua of CFP, and CNN chief national security correspondent Jim Sciuto noted: "If smog blocks out the sun, throw up a video of it."
Note that they didn't just put up this video because of the smog — this is a digital commercial screen that offers the best view of the sun there is.
Here are a couple of the screens:

With their final pick of Draft weekend 2016, the Dallas Cowboys drafted a tight end who hasn't actually played football since junior high.
Rico Gathers played basketball, not football, at Baylor, before deciding to change his sport and enter the NFL Draft this year. When you're a super-athlete and you stand 6-foot-8 and weigh in at 275 pounds like Gathers, you can do that.
The Cowboys were one of over 20 teams to attend his Pro Day, and they ultimately drafted him 217th overall, in the sixth round. He is a project, certainly, but a worthwhile project, as Jason Garrett was quick to point out when discussing the addition of Baylor's all-time leading rebounder.
"He is just very impressive physically," Garrett said, per Kate Hairopoulos of the Dallas Morning News. "Clearly he is determined to do this, and so we just felt at the bottom of our draft, this was a worthwhile opportunity.
"His style as a basketball player is one that's very physical; prolific rebounder. We felt like that could translate. Clearly he is a developmental player, but if he turns into something, it might be something we really like."

A group in Santa Fe, New Mexico, has reportedly complained to authorities that WiFi technology in the town is making people ill. Because of this, they want the tech to be banned.
Lead by well-known activist Arthur Firstenberg, the group are calling for WiFi accessibility to be taken out of all public buildings, starting with libraries.
Speaking about the health effects of the technology, Firstenberg said: "I walk in, get a headache and I get chest pain and it doesn't go away right away."
According to VDU Net, the group claim to be electro-sensitive and, because of this, they are being discriminated against under the Americans with Disabilities act.
No apparent WiFi health risks
This is not the first time that WiFi has been branded a health risk. Just last year a report by the Times newspaper found that parents were worried about the health risks involved in implementing the technology into schools.
This report was followed by a government study into WiFi that found no apparent health problems associated with wireless connections.
