Facts about Frankie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: White (Mostly)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
My name is Frankie!
Frankie's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Please contact Lynn (email@example.com) for more information about this pet.
Frankie showed up on our doorstep as a stray a few months ago. He sure knew who to go to that would take care of him! haha
We tried finding his previous home but have had no luck. He is super social and loving and already neutered so we know he had a home before! He is great with other cats and loves to cuddle in bed with you!!! He is approx 5yrs old.
All of our cats and kittens are in foster homes. Please contact us at email@example.com to set up and appointment to see them. We have life-time placement for all of our rescue's so that they forever have a safe haven.
Unfortunately, we are not able to ship cats/kittens. We try to stay in all of our adoptees lives, so if you live more than two hours away and are unable to drive to pick up your cat/kitten or bring them back to be neutered/spayed we are unable to adopt to you.
Thank you for understanding!

RACINE, Wis (WSAU-Wheeler News) One of Wisconsin's busiest freeways will begin a new phase of road construction today. Sixteen miles of Interstate-94 will be resurfaced in Racine and Milwaukee counties -- the route that thousands of drivers take between Milwaukee and Chicago each day.
The new road work begins in Racine County, close to the Kenosha County border. There will be ramp closures and detours along the way, when necessary. For now, one of the three northbound lanes will be closed during the day -- and two lanes in each direction will be closed late at night, starting at 9:30. It's part of a major rebuilding of I-94 from Milwaukee to the Illinois line.
The current phase is scheduled to run through late July, at a cost of almost $10-million.

Test Driver
Audi Crossover. by Mountain Matt on 01/14/2013. Trim: 2013 Audi Q5 3.0T Premium Plus quattro Tiptronic.
Pros: The styling is both sporty and classy. Both engines have plenty of power for normal or aggressive driving. Quattro with the 8-speed Tiptronic transmission allows for a spirited drive on all road types. Car feels stuck to the road with minimal body lean; the steering always feels tight even on center. The panorama roof gives a spacious feel to the interior, especially in back. The interior is elegant and functional with the same layout and instruments as the more expensive models, and afford the full MMI, Google navigation, and connect functions. Seats are very comfortable and the driving position feels right. I like the size, it never feels too big and inspires confidence in driving.
Cons: There is little to dislike about the car. The side mirrors are a little too big, and the B pillars quite wide; both obstruct vision somewhat. Trunk space seems just adequate for this size vehicle, but rear seats slide forward for more space, and fold down for maximum space. Also, roof rack is standard for oversize loads. 2.0 engine seems noisy/thrashy when it's working hard uphill, 3.0 is always quiet and relaxed, but feels heavier. Space saver spare tire, but saves weight. Cars are on the upper end for price and lower end of mpg for this class, but performance and luxury are well worth it.
Overall review: I drove both the 3.0 and 2.0 Q5 back-to-back for 45 minutes each, on two occasions over varied roads and grades west of Denver. I got a good feel for both cars. The 2.0 feels lighter and seems more tossable. For the average driver on flat terain, that car has sufficent power; it moves from a stoplight and passes with aplomb. But on grades and mountain driving, you can hear the 4-cycl engine as it works hard at higher RPM, if you push it. The V6, 3.0 always runs quieter; it moves effortlessly from a stoplight, and hill climbing is hardly a challenge. The engine seems happy and working without issue even when accelerating uphill to pass. Both cars stick to the road with Quattro, inspire confidence in handling, and are fun to drive. They have minor exterior trim differences, and identical interiors except for options. I ordered a 3.0T because we live in the mountains and can use the power and torque. We give up 2 mpg on average for the increase in horsepower.

Who needs 4x4.... by Debbie, Ohio on 12/30/2012. Trim: 2013 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium quattro Tiptronic, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I went from a Chevy Tahoe to the 2012 Audi Q5 because I needed to get better gas mileage because our daughter is commuting to college. I was very concerned about not having a 4x4 vehicle and not being able to climb up and out of our driveway in the snow. Needless to say it has passed that test with flying colors. We have the premium plus 2.0T and we are extremely happy with it. And for all of the music enthusiaists upgrade the stereo to the Bang and Olufsen system. It is well worth the money.
Cons: I really miss the remote start that I had in my Tahoe but the Audi Q5 does warm up very quickly. Better cup holders for rear passengers would be nice also. And I think the rear seats should also come heated. The backseat legroom is pretty tight so you don't want a tall passenger back there.
Overall review: We are very pleased with the overal performance of the 2012 Audi Q5. It is very classy looking, drives and handles beautifully, handles great in the snow and I love the panoramic sunroof. And it gets good gas mileage.

We are buying it. by Tony on 12/02/2012. Trim: 2013 Audi Q5 3.0T Premium Plus quattro Tiptronic, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Test drove the 3.0 to compare it to the 2.0. If gas mileage is not a concern, go for the 3.0. It feels much more composed, quieter and more refined. We test drove the top of the line with comfort package. Once you drive this Q5 there is no going back. Very nice finish, comfortable leather.
Cons: I miss some options such as heated steering wheel. The back seat leg room is lacking.
Overall review: My wife decided to buy it. Need I say more. We test drove GLK350 and found it to be basic. The Cayenne was over priced. Bmw X3 felt small and for the price, no value. So overall, the Q5 was the best choice overall. I own a VW Passat Premium and see many shared parts in the Q5 (Audi is owned by VW). I have had no problems with it. Based on that, I expect the same from the Q5.

The Goldilocks Crossover by Acadianbob from Minnesota on 03/17/2013. Trim: 2013 Audi Q5 3.0T Premium Plus quattro Tiptronic, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: It handles extremely well compared to most crossovers. The Acura RDX is a mush-bucket in comparison (and fast but torque-less). We traded in an S4 for the Q5 3.0T so the ride feels pretty good to us. It will never handle like an S4 but it is much easier to live with; especially on longer trips. Good looks, great drivetrain (lots of torque at lower RPM), great build quality, practical yet fun; awesome interior. It is only a step behind our S4 in acceleration (S4 5.3 to 60, Q5 5.9)
Cons: Too much bundling on the options. $3,500 for NAV; are you kidding me? I'll use my iPhone5. But i might have liked the adaptive headlights or the ventilated seats. You have to spend big, big bucks to get everything you want but it also unfortunately includes a lot of things that you couldn't care less about. So, we did without a few things rather than break the bank.
Overall review: One of the best if not THE best in the segment from an overall perspective. Didn't consider BMW X3 because of poor dealership locations and because we could never keep our 3 series BMWs out of the shop. We've found Audi to be much more reliable. This is our 3rd Audi.

You can't beat the Audi Q5 by BG from Richmond, VA on 12/29/2012. Trim: 2013 Audi Q5 3.0T Premium Plus quattro Tiptronic, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I have a 2012 Q5 3.2L and it's great! It's comfortable, quick, quiet and reasonable on gas. Average around 25 mpg with lots of highway miles and it handles like a car.
Cons: There are a few of minor dislikes. 1) The sunglasses holder in the headliner is way too small. I believe only a childs pair of glasses would fit. 2) I don't like the fact that the center console arm rest moves freely forward & back and doesn't remain in the position you select. Again, minor but aggravating. 3) Sun shade isn't dark enough. It lets too much light in the car on sunny days and if you are migraine headache prone (like my wife is) the glare can get to you. Wish it was a solid shade. On a sunny day I slide a piece of poster board between the glass & shade. Seems to work OK.
Overall review: I recommend the Q5 to anyone who wants a small luxury crossover.

These apartments are amazing! The interior view is the best view, in my opinion, but the exterior view (street view) is also very nice. The higher the level the better the view. It also VERY close to many restaurants and just down the street from Disney's garden walk. What an awesome place to live or even to go and visit friends living there.

The location is one of the best in the area, most convenient, everything is close by. Also the price for one bedroom is fantastic comparing to other when the one bedroom here consists of an additional bathroom and additional baby room, den or office. I recommend staying in high floors because the scene, privacy and relaxing, so, the higher the better.

Inside Wall Street: Steer clear of cruise line stocks
The Costa Concordia tragedy spells severe headwinds for cruise liners' future bookings.
Vacationers, for sure, will continue going on cruises to seemingly exotic places, but for investors, shares of companies that own and operate cruise ships, such as Carnival (CCL) and Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL), should be off limits. Wall Street believes investors should stick to dry-land investing for now. The reason: The Costa Concordia disaster that has so far claimed the lives of eight people -- and counting.
"We are downgrading shares of Carnival and Royal Caribbean to neutral from positive as a result of the Costa Concordia tragedy this weekend," says Rachael Rothman, analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group.
Rothman says the downgrade comes to reflect potentially depressed yields from cruises as they are likely to come under pressure following the tragedy experienced in Italy by Costa Concordia, which is owned by Carnival. She slashed her stock price target for Carnival to $29 a share from $40, and Royal's to $26 a share from $39.
Carnival's stock since the Concordia tragedy has already tumbled to $27 on Wednesday Jan. 18, 2012 from $30 on Jan. 12, 2012, and Royal's has dropped to $30 from $35.
Costa Concordia struck a boulder at the Italian coastline late on Friday Jan. 13, 2012, on a regularly scheduled seven-day Mediterranean itinerary.
Rothman says the tragedy that resulted in the loss of lives and injury among the more than 4,000 passengers "will be a severe headwind in bookings in the months ahead." The tragedy occurred, she notes, with the start of the all-important "Wave booking season," a three-month period that can account for close to 35% of annual bookings.
So far, the company estimates the tragedy will cost $40 million in insurance deductibles and have a negative impact on earnings of about 5 cents a share. The loss of the use of the cruise ship is estimated to cost the company about 11 cents to 12 cents a share in its earnings. The estimates for the negative impact on earnings may move higher as more information becomes available.
Rothman reduced her earnings estimates for Carnival to $2.17 a share for 2012 from $2.67 per share, and to $3.50 per share for 2013 from $3 per share. For Royal, she also cut back her 2012 and 2012 estimates, to $2.59 a share in 2012 from $3.02 a share and to $3 a share for 2013 from $3.47 a share.
For Carnival, the potential for growth in its capacity will be cannibalized by existing sales, Rothman figures, which would add pressure on yields, margins and earnings. Other negatives outside of the tragedy include the rising price of oil and further weakening of consumer spending, as well as the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, says Rothman.
The full negative impact on Carnival's net yields on future bookings, while still too early to assess, could be significant, notes the analyst. She figures a 1% move in net yields equals 17 cents a share of annual earnings per share. Costa Concordia is Carnival's European brand, which represents 16% of fleetwide capacity. Carnival's European itineraries account for roughly 32% of its 2012 capacity, says Rothman. So the Italian tragedy that crippled the Concordia could be very damaging to Carnival's bottom line.
But the contrarian's question is, with the big decline in the two cruise-line companies stocks, are they now opportunistic buys? The immediate answer would be that it might be best to look elsewhere for real bargains at this time.

A Great Play on the Increasing Need for Energy
Matthew is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Diamond Offshore Drilling (NYSE: DO) is a contract driller of offshore oil and gas wells and currently owns 44 mobile offshore drilling rigs operating all over the world. While Diamond (and others like it) may experience some short-term volatility due to the unpredictability of oil and gas prices and the constantly changing drilling policies of different countries, over the long run Diamond should be a winner. With world energy demand projected to increase fivefold from 10TW*hrs (Terawatt-hours) to 50 TW*hrs by the year 2050, the need for drilling (and the rigs supplied by Diamond) will have nowhere to go but up.
About Diamond Offshore Drilling
Diamond owns 37 floating rigs, which includes 12 ultradeepwater units capable of drilling in depths over 7,800 feet, seven deepwater rigs which drill in depths of 5-6,000 feet, and 18 midwater rigs which drill from 1-4,000 feet. The company also has seven jack-up rigs, which are essentially floating barges with support legs that can be raised or lowered in order to drill in shallow depths of 20 to 350 feet.
Their rigs are located all over the world, and are currently in the Gulf of Mexico, the North Sea, South America, Africa, Australia, and Southeast Asia. Most of the company's revenue comes from outside of the U.S., with almost half coming from Brazil.
Recently, the company entered into a contract to build a new ultradeepwater rig for BP (NYSE: BP) to use off the coast of Australia. This will greatly expand BP's Australian operations, where it currently operates three gas fields. The new rig is projected to be completed in late 2015 at a cost of $755 million. BP has agreed to lease the rig for three years at a rate of $585,000 per day, and it will be capable of drilling in depths in excess of 10,000 feet.
Cheap valuation and attractive fundamentals
At a current valuation of 14.3 times 2013's projected earnings, Diamond looks to be very attractively valued. While earnings are actually expected to drop slightly from 2012 to $4.60 per share as a result of increased expenditures related to building new rigs and upgrading existing ones, the company's earnings are projected to rise tremendously in 2014 and beyond, at which time six of their seven rigs under construction will be delivered. The consensus calls for $7.23 per share in 2014 (meaning that Diamond trades for just 9.1 times next year's earnings) and $8.04 in 2015.
Beyond 2015, I would expect a significant earnings boost in 2016 due to the completion of the BP rig mentioned above, and I expect an increase in the amount of new rigs, especially those meant for very deep water, over the next several years. Diamond currently pays a low regular dividend as well as a "special" dividend that is actually very consistent, the total of which is $3.50 per share this year, which translates to a 5.3% annual yield, among the best in the market. Also notable is the company's very strong balance sheet, with almost no net debt (as much cash on hand as debt).
Alternative: Transocean
Transocean (NYSE: RIG) is the largest offshore drilling rig contractor in the world with 82 rigs and another eight under construction. Transocean was the owner of the infamous Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded while contracted to BP. In January, Transocean settled with the DOJ for $1.4 billion in fines, and is still facing several other civil charges. As a result, shares trade at a somewhat depressed valuation and likely will continue to do so until all of the pending suits are behind them.
Shares of Transocean trade for just 10.9 times this year's expected earnings, which are supposed to rebound nicely going forward on the expected sale of four jackup rigs, which the company anticipates to complete by the end of this year. As a result, the consensus calls for earnings of $6.03 and $6.51 per share in 2014 and 2015, respectively, with estimates as high as $8.10 for the latter.
Which company is right for your portfolio depends on your particular level of risk tolerance and willingness to wait out legal drama. While Transocean may very well produce the better gains long-term, they could indeed suffer significantly if the pending civil suits go worse than expected. Diamond is a completely reasonably valued way to play this sector, which should grow tremendously over the coming decade and beyond.

Trains have resumed service but are experiencing significant delays on the Metra Union Pacific/Northwest line after a pedestrian was fatally struck Monday morning in northwest suburban Des Plaines.

2011 Chevrolet Cruze: Test Drive
This 2011 review is representative of model years 2011 to 2014.
By Staff of MSN Autos
While it doesn't look very good, the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is a really great car. Shocking, I know; I expected to hate it. The steering is just about perfect. The materials are attractive, sturdy and comfortable. The seating is "just right." The whole car is wonderful. About the worst thing I can say is that the engine could be a little more powerful. The Cruze is better than all but a handful of cars I've driven — ever. You gotta try one. –Paul Hagger
The Cruze is Chevrolet's new entry in the ultracompetitive compact segment, and it is a surprisingly good vehicle. It's not a sports sedan, but offers a conservatively sporty design; it's appealing, but probably won't turn any heads. It has a solid, stable platform with good steering response and a well-tuned suspension. And the new Ecotec 1.4-liter turbocharged engine delivers impressive power for its size and good overall drivability. The new 6-speed automatic at first seemed a little slow to upshift at less than full throttle, but the transmission makes maximum use of the power from the smaller engine while still delivering 24 mpg city/36 mpg highway fuel economy. –Mike Meredith
Chevrolet has made several attempts at building quality small cars, none of which were very impressive. But with the Cruze, it appears Chevy has got it right. The exterior looks sharp, with crisp, clean lines. The interior isn't anything fancy, but it isn't cheap looking either. And power and handling are good. However, the rear seat is a bit cramped, and the cabin feels small. In addition, the transmission doesn't shift very smoothly. With a mid-30s fuel-economy rating and a price starting around $16K, the Cruze is a seriously competitive small-car offering. –Perry Stern

GENERIC NAME: vitexagnus castus
BRAND NAME: Chaste Tree, Chaste Berry, Vitex, Monk's Pepper
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Chaste tree is shrub. The dried ripe fruit is used as a natural herbal supplement. Although exact mechanism is not known, Chaste tree presumably works by decreasing follicle-stimulating hormone release. Lowering of follicle-stimulating hormones increases progesterone-to-estrogen ratio, giving relief from menstrual and menopausal symptoms.
PRESCRIPTION: No
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Chaste tree is available in crude herb extract capsules, fluid extract, dried fruit extract, and tincture forms.
STORAGE: Due to many manufacturers producing each formulation, storage requirements may vary based individual product.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Chaste tree is used for premenstrual and menopausal symptoms, production of breast milk, female infertility, endometriosis, and acne.
The maximum daily dose is 1800 mg per day.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Chaste tree berry should be avoided in women taking birth control or any other hormonal medications because chaste tree also affects hormone levels.
Chaste tree should be used with caution in certain antipsychotic or anti-Parkinson's medications because chaste tree may affect dopamine levels in brain, reducing the effect of antipsychotic or anti-Parkinson's medications.
PREGNANCY: Chaste tree is known to affect estrogen and progesterone levels, which may not be safe for pregnant women. Therefore, it is not recommended to use chaste tree products in pregnant women.
NURSING MOTHERS: It is not known whether Chaste tree enters breast milk; however, it is best not to use chaste tree in nursing mothers.
SIDE EFFECTS: Side effects of Chaste tree are acne, dizziness, fatigue, stomach upset, headache, agitation, and menstrual changes.

NORFOLK -- Dominion Virginia Power workers reported that power was restored to many residents around 1:45 p.m. Friday after a truck ran into a power pole and caused outages that morning.
The semi truck reportedly ran into a power pole at Tidewater Dr. and Goff St., causing a transformer fire, and knocking out power for about 1,100 people.
Businesses in the Huntersville, Downtown, Ghent, and Park Place neighborhoods reportedly experienced power surges and outages starting around 11 a.m.
Dominion Power said that the power could be out for a few hours.

My approach to law is not a 'descriptive' endeavour, as is typical of the approach taken by legal positivists. Following Professor John Finnis, my aim is to "assist the practical reflections of those concerned to act, whether as judges, or as statesman, or as citizens". The natural law tradition is concerned primarily with the moral obligation aspect of law. That is, law in the 'binding of conscience' sense. Thus, a theme that dominates most natural law theories is reason. Rationality is a criterion for law ( 'law' in this sense). I argue that laws ought to be moral. This means that I must determine what is 'moral'. To accomplish this, I tum to the pragmatics of conversation (Jurgen Habermas). The practice of discourse has, by its very nature, a moral element. Or, to put it another way, discourse embraces a 'rationality'. This 'rationality' can shed light on what is 'moral'. If I had to summarise my argument in one sentence it would be as follows: one can infer rules for some just laws from the rules of discourse. One of the primary goals of this paper is to refute 'ethical relativism' or 'subjectivism'. Some human rights, I argue, are not the mere personal preference of Western liberal democracies, but are the implicit presuppositions of discourse. In attempting to show that a theory of natural law can find answers to difficult questions, I try to show that the ethics of discourse can guide us in considering the issue of freedom of expression. Should hate speech and pornography be censored? In assessing what the "common good" of a human community is, I argue that Canada's anti-hate speech legislation and anti-obscenity laws could undermine the democratic commitment.

MOORHEAD, Minn. (KFGO-AM) - Moorhead police are investigating the disappearance of more than $5,000 from a fast food restaurant.
Court documents say the money was taken out of a safe at the McDonald's on East Highway 10. There was no evidence of forced entry into the building, or tampering with the safe.
Detective Lt. Brad Penas says the theft appears to be an inside job. "It would lead us to believe that an employee could be responsible. That's one place we would obviously always look in a situation like this" Penas said.
Police interviewed several employees who had access to the safe and alarm codes. A search warrant affidavit says a McDonald's manager who acted "strangely" was fired for not cooperating with police.
Charges have not been filed.

Hunting for Acquisitions in the European Telecom Market
Rupert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Recently, there has been much speculation running around the market as AT&T (NYSE: T) snoops around in Europe. The company's Chief Executive, Randall Stephenson, has been flying in and out of Europe talking to governments, regulators and CEOs for the past few months in a bid to get a feel for the market and the opportunities that AT&T may or may not have available to it.
However, Europe is not the best place to do business right now. The continent is buckling under pressure from an ongoing recession/depression, forcing consumers to cut expenditure, and regulators are cracking down hard on excess fees and anti-competitive practices.
That said, it is not all bad news. Smartphone penetration in Europe is growing and with it the need for super-fast networks such as LTE and 4G - two areas where AT&T has a wealth of experience. Furthermore, there are still some signs of growth on the continent, for example, the telecom markets in Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK all remain robust. Additionally, no single telecom company is overweight in one country.
Unfortunately, even though some markets remain robust, increasing competition, regulation and price wars are taking their toll on telecom company revenues throughout the continent. Having said that, companies are not standing idle; indeed, telecom companies throughout Europe are slashing costs and dividends in an attempt to restore investors' faith in the stocks.
This is not a short-term play, and investors who got in too soon have not been rewarded. Telefonica S.A. (NYSE: TEF), one of Europe's largest telecom companies, has seen its share price fall 52% in the last two years alone, and Deutsche Telekom, with operations in the relatively stable markets of the UK and Germany, has seen its stock price fall 22% in two years.
Do any companies look appealing?
There are opportunities in the market. Carlos Slim, until very recently the richest man in the world, made his first tentative steps into the European telecom market earlier this year when he acquired stakes in KPN in the Netherlands and Telekom Austria. Although both stakes have recently fallen, Slim knows what he is doing, and the longer term outlook is actually positive.
One of the best opportunities, it would appear, is in France through France Telecom SA (NYSE: ORAN), a company that has been hit hard with a double whammy of bad news recently: first the deteriorating European telecom sector and second bribery allegations against its CEO.
That said, fundamentally France Telecom is not as distressed as it would appear. The company currently offers a 10.5% dividend yield that is well covered with cash flow:
Figures in euro millions
France Telecom did post a loss during the second half of last year but this was down to higher SG&A and unusual costs, which totaled E1.6 billion as the company re-structured and cut costs. Apart from this loss, the company appears to be in robust financial health; it has an E8 billion cash position, and a net debt position of E30 billion - a debt to equity level of 1.25. (A lower amount of receivables at the end of 2012 lowered the value of the company's assets; without this adjustment debt would be 1x equity, a relatively low level for the sector.)
The other company that looks appealing is previously discussed Telefonica S.A. Telefonica's main market is within Spain, which has the highest level of smartphone penetration in Europe, higher than the UK with over 60% of the Spanish population using smartphones, indicating a strong market for data fees.
Overall, Telefonica is in a good position and, unlike many telecom companies in Europe, is still profitable. During 2012, the company had a net income of E5.6 billion and EPS of 87 cents per share, after extraordinary items.
Telefonica's position as one of the only profitable telecoms companies in mainland Europe, as well as being the largest by market capitalization, is the reason for increasing speculation that the company will become prey to AT&T, but how much would this takeover cost and how much would investors benefit?
Unfortunately, Telefonica is burdened with debt, nearly three times EBITDA but this could make a deal easier for AT&T. AT&T could offer Telefonica's investors a 40% premium over its current share price, but the value of debt would mean that AT&T would only have to pay a premium of 20% for the company, or about $155 billion. If AT&T proposed a 50/50 cash share merger, AT&T would only have to raise $43 billion in new debt, taking its net debt to EBITDA ratio to 3.6x only slight higher than Telefonica's current ratio.
Of course, AT&T could acquire France Telecom. At one third the size of Telefonica, France Telecom would be a cheaper target, although France is becoming an increasingly hard market to do business in and smartphone data usage is not as high as Spain.
Foolish summary
Overall, there are opportunities in the European telecom market, but the risks are high. AT&T may be looking in the wrong region for acquisitions, as although companies currently appear cheap, regulation is increasing and the consumer environment is hostile. That said, Telefonica and France Telecom both offer an opportunity for investors who are willing to take on a little risk.

Support for the HPV Toolkit is provided by Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck and Co., Inc.
Most anal cancers are squamous cell carcinomas occurring in the anorectal junction (a squamocolumnar transition area similar to that of the cervix).26,27
Estimated incidence and mortality in the U.S. is 6,200 and 800, respectively. Populations at highest risk include men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) – who have anal cancer rates 17 times higher than heterosexual men- and HIV-positive individuals.28
Signs and Symptoms29,30:
While there are no consensus guidelines on screening, some experts recommend screening at-risk populations -including MSM and all HIV-positive individuals- with anal cytology.27
Patients with abnormalities detected are referred to high-resolution anoscopy (HRA), a diagnostic procedure analogous to cervical colposcopy.26,30
Most vulvar cancers (approximately 90%) are squamous cell carcinomas. Other vulvar cancers include adenocarcinomas (that develop in the Bartholin's glands) and melanoma (most often occurring on the labia minora or clitoris).31
Vulvar cancer incidence and mortality in the U.S. is estimated at 4,500 and 950, respectively.32 About half of vulvar cancers are associated with oncogenic HPV.33
Risk factors for vulvar cancer31:
Vulvar precancers (Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia or VIN) are often asymptomatic, although some patients experience persistent itching and multifocal lesions that may be lighter or darker than the surrounding skin. 34 Symptoms of invasive vulvar cancer may be similar to the precursor lesions: persistent itching, skin areas that are reddish/pink or darkened, Condyloma-like lesions, dysuria, and vulvar tenderness or pain.32
80%-90% of vaginal cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, the vast majority of which are related to oncogenic HPV. Incidence and mortality in the U.S. is estimated at 2,700 and 840, respectively.35
Risk factors for vaginal cancer31:
Vaginal precancers (vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia, VaIN) are usually asymptomatic, although some patients experience increased or abnormal vaginal discharge. Symptoms of vulvar cancer include a vaginal mass, abnormal vaginal bleeding/discharge, pain during intercourse, and dysuria.35,36
Most HPV-related head and neck cancers are squamous cell carcinomas of the oropharynx. Incidence and mortality or oropharyngeal cancer in the U.S. is estimated at 34,000 and 6,800, respectively.37 Between 1998 and 2004 HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers increased by 225% in the U.S., compared to a 50% decrease in HPV-negative oropharyngeal cancers.38
Risk factors for oropharyngeal cancers:37
Symptoms of oropharyngeal cancers include persistent pain in the oral cavity, lumps or masses in the cheek or neck, dysphagia, pharyngitis, and chronic halitosis.37
Virtually all penile cancers (> 95%) are squamous cell carcinomas. Other subtypes include verrucous carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, melanoma, and basal cell cancers.39,40
Penile cancers are rare in most of the developed world. Incidence and mortality in the U.S. is estimated at 1,570 and 310, respectively.39
Approximately half of penile cancers are associated with oncogenic HPV infection, particularly HPV-16.41 Other etiological factors strongly associated with penile cancer include phimosis and balanitis (which many experts associate with higher penile cancer incidence in males who weren't circumcised in childhood).42 Penile cancer is also more common in the immunosuppressed.
Penile cancers often present as lesions or masses on the glans penis or foreskin. Lesions, which may be flat or elevated, often are reddish in appearance, sometimes irritated or painful, and vary in size and distribution.39,43

From cellphones to tablets, kids have access to the Internet
more than ever these days.
But there's concern that children are getting too much
screen time.
The American Academy of Pediatrics says kids should spend no
more than 2 hours a day on social media and entertainment sites, yet a recent
study found that the average 8- to 11-year-old spends 8 hours a day in front of a screen.
Technology has become so common-place in the classroom that it can be difficult to cut down on the time students spend on laptops
and tablets.
From video editing to creating music or simply taking notes, the
technology is there to help kids learn at schools like the School for Creative
Studies, which is one of several schools in Durham where every student has a
device such as a laptop.
"Almost every class we are using it to take notes or
research things," 14-year-old Safiya Gallaghan said. "It's really a
handy thing when it comes to taking notes."
Social Studies teacher Alison Edwards explained that the use
of technology like laptops and tablets helps to motivate the students.
"They're more willing to do something when they see
that instantaneous connection. For some reason, when it's on the computer, they
love it," Edwards said.
Still, she said the amount of use needs to be moderated.
"There's also opportunity where we close our computers
and have discussions because that's one of those skills that when they're on
that technology that they're not getting," Edwards said. "How do I
interact with another person?"
While teachers can limit screen time at school, the study
says that smartphones and computers should stay out of bedrooms as well.
Unrestricted use is linked to violence, obesity and sleep deprivation, the
American Academy of Pediatrics says.
"We have rules for free time," Safiya said of
using technology at home. "Usually for just half an hour."
Khalil Tompkins, 14, added, "We're not allowed to have
any type of technology when we eat. We just talk to each other about how our
day was."
Makeba Wilbourn, an assistant professor in Duke University's
Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, said it's difficult to know the
true, long-term impact that media has on young kids.
"By the time we figure that out, we'll have a new sort
of obstacle, a new game in town," said Wilbourn, who specializes in the
development of children. "Plus there's this generational difference as
The Academy of Pediatrics recommends no media for kids under
2 years old, however Wilbourn said that may not be practical.
"I think it's really important for us to sit down and
think about what our values are, what are the things that are really important
to us and how can we use technology to bolster that instead of allowing
technology to change the values?," Wilbourn said.
A study by the non-partisan, non-profit group Common Sense
Media found that children 8 years old and younger are watching television about
12 minutes a day less than they were 2 years ago. But on mobile devices, they
are averaging 10 minutes longer.

These were the sounds of the cast of the 2004 St. Olaf production of the Vagina Monologues" warming up in the Pause for their Saturday performance. Decked out in black, red and pink, the all-female cast formed a semi-circle in the darkened theater, each woman shouting a line from the monologues, a motivating tidbit, or something related to their vaginas. Anything about vaginas.
"Viva la vulva!"
"My short skirt is my defiance!"
For these women, it was an appropriate theme to have on the brain. Over the next two hours, they would use the word "vagina" over a hundred times.
There was no escaping vaginas in this show. The full-house crowd passed by tables hawking chocolate vaginas, cunt buttons and t-shirts proclaiming, "Theres a revolution in my pants." They received programs featuring diagrams of female genitalia. But first, they were entertained by the pre-show "GuerrillaTroupe."
"Our job is just to entertain people, to spread the vagina love, get into the vagina spirit," said Chris Clark 05, a member of the troupe.
Tom Brown 05, another member who wore a giant foam vulva for the groups sketches, said of his costume: "Its quite warm, quite loving & [but] you can scare the hell out of some people."
The doors opened and people entered, almost completely silent. Some exchanged nervous laughter as they took their seats. The Troupe went to work. They led the crowd in a warm-up chant: "Go vaginas, go, go, vaginas!" they shouted. The crowd was tentative, but with more giggling, began chanting the "v-word" back.
Director Annie Westmoreland 04 appeared onstage to introduce two staff members from the Rice County Hope Center.
The proceeds from this years production will benefit the facility that provides support and refuge for women and children in abusive situations. The cause is one of great importance to many involved in the production.
Cast member Annie Olson 04 said, "When Im sitting onstage, I look out at the audience and think, every one of these seats is $5 [for the H.O.P.E. Center].'"
Mary Schmidt 04, the shows producer, noted that there was a 25 percent cut in federal funding for the Center this year. "The money barely makes a dent," Schmidt said, "but it does make a difference."
The cast filed onstage and the show unfolded, story by story: pubic hair; a woman who hadnt looked at her vagina in 50 years; the right to wear short skirts; memories of first menstruations; wartime gang-rape; trips to the gynecologist; spousal abuse on Indian Reservations; orgasmic moaning; the birth of a granddaughter. All of it came back to vaginas.
"[My clitoris] was me, the essence of me."
"I love vaginas. I love women. I dont see them as separate things."
Is the vagina really the "locus" and "reason" of a woman as the show suggests? Perhaps not entirely, replied cast members, but the vagina does hold special province in a womans self-identity. "Its a lot more than a finger or a hand," said Kara Fisher 04. "Its a symbol [of female identity]," said Eleni Pinnow 04.
Even so, it was impossible to ignore some level of discomfort surrounding the Vagina Monologues, even within the cast. Schmidt still agonizes over "The Little Coochi Snorcher That Could," a monologue about an abused 16-year-old who finds sexual salvation in a 24-year-old woman an act of statutory rape. "If they say they werent raped, then theyre not," Schmidt said, but admitted, "thats a really, really hard one for me."
Cast member Elsa Marty 07 said she was nervous about her parents seeing the show. Still, she said, the "Vagina Monologues" is "trying to tell many womens stories; its good that they make me uncomfortable. By not talking about it, [the stories] arent going to go away." Marty also empathized with the concern she has heard from students who believe sex should be saved for marriage shes one of them and fear the show promotes promiscuity. However, she said, "its important to think about these things to understand why youre waiting."
More than anything, said those involved with the production, the Vagina Monologues" is about supporting a worthy cause and opening dialogue about womens and mens sexuality.
As the show closed and the crowd filed out, it was clear that the dialogue had begun.
"That was awesome!"
"Oh my God, I thought my dad was going to die!"
The silence had been transformed into laughter, some wet eyes, and plenty of conversation about vaginas. Barb Olson of Oakdale, Minn., mother of Annie Olson, saw this as a good thing. "Its a show about women," Barb said, "and sexuality is a part of life."

The Atlantic Debates Old, New Media
In the latest issue of The Atlantic, James Fallows puts together an impressive piece on old media vs. new media. He speaks to a wide range of people – Jay Rosen, Jeff Jarvis, Eric Schmidt – to give the article an all encompassing feel, but the meat of the piece is centered around Nick Denton and Gawker, who represent new media.
Fallows basically makes the case that Denton and Gawker are the future of media, and that though their way might seem shocking now, it's important to realize the benefits of a rapidly changing media landscape.
The problem people have with embracing Gawker is that it doesn't neccesarily provide real news, but that's something that even Denton admits:
In my first 'interview' with him for this story, conducted over the course of nearly an hour through an instant-message exchange, he said that a market-minded approach like his would solve the business problem of journalism—but only for 'a certain kind of journalism.' It worked perfectly, he said, for topics like those his sites covered: gossip, technology, sex talk, and so on. And then, as an aside: 'But not the worthy topics. Nobody wants to eat the boring vegetables. Nor does anyone want to pay [via advertising] to encourage people to eat their vegetables.'
