Buyers ready, but home seller wants to back out
May 16, 2014
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – May 15, 2014 – Question: We found a house and entered into a contract to buy it. We did our inspections, got our mortgage loan set up and are ready for the closing about three weeks from now. Last night, the seller called and told us that she had an unexpected issue and will not be able to sell us the house. But don't we have rights here? And do we have to wait until the closing date comes and goes before we start taking action to enforce the contract?
Answer: Most contracts contain contingencies allowing a party to cancel the deal if certain things happen, such as a bad inspection or the financing falls through. You need to carefully review your contract to make sure that the seller does not have a contractual way to cancel. If not, she is bound by what she agreed to, meaning that she must sell you the house.
Because she told you clearly that she is not moving forward, you don't have to wait until the closing date to start enforcing the agreement. You or your lawyer should send her a letter now asking her to confirm in writing whether she is moving forward to closing. Once she confirms that she isn't, most contracts give you the right to sue her for "specific performance," meaning that you can ask the court to force her to sell you the property.
The practical problem with this is that it can take some time for the case to wind its way through the courts. So if you have concerns with where to live while this happens, or you are worried that you will lose your mortgage loan, this might not be the best option for you. It might be better to get your money back and move on to a similar house without all the trouble. But if this truly is the house you want, you appear to have the law on your side.

Fla. home sale prices up 11.4% year-to-year in Dec.
January 24, 2014
ORLANDO, Fla. – Jan. 23, 2014 – Florida's housing market reported higher median prices, more new listings, fewer days on the market and the continued stabilization of inventory in December, according to the latest housing data released by Florida Realtors®. Closed sales of single-family homes statewide totaled 19,497 last month, up 8.6 percent over the December 2012 figure.
"Florida's housing market continues to demonstrate its recovery," says 2014 Florida Realtors President Sherri Meadows, CEO and team leader, Keller Williams, with market centers in Gainesville, Ocala and the Villages. "December marked over two years – 25 months – of consecutive gains in statewide median sales prices, year-over-year, for both single-family homes and for townhouse-condo properties. The rising prices, along with the renewed strength of the state's housing market, are encouraging more homeowners to list their properties for sale. Statewide, new listings for single-family homes increased 23.8 percent in December, while new townhome-condo listings rose 8.1 percent. The rising prices mean increased equity, which is another reason people are listing properties.
"Properties also are taking less time to sell, another trend that is sparking sellers' interest," Meadows added. "In December, the median days on market (the midpoint of the number of days it took for a property to sell that month) was 50 days for single-family homes and 51 days for townhouses and condos. That means 50 percent of homes on the market in Florida sell in less than two months."
The statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes last month was $172,630, up 11.4 percent from the previous year, according to data from Florida Realtors Industry Data and Analysis department in partnership with local Realtor boards/associations. The statewide median price for townhouse-condo properties in December was $137,500, up 17 percent over the year-ago figure. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less.
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the national median sales price for existing single-family homes in November 2013 was $196,200, up 9.4 percent from the previous year; the national median existing condo price was $197,400. In California, the statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes in November was $422,210; in Massachusetts, it was $316,500; in Maryland, it was $257,677; and in New York, it was $229,000.
Looking at Florida's townhome-condo market, statewide closed sales totaled 8,364 last month, down slightly (2.5 percent) compared to December 2012. However, the closed sales data reflected fewer short sales and cash-only sales in December: Traditional sales in Florida rose 23.3 percent for single-family homes and 6 percent for condo-townhome properties. Closed sales typically occur 30 to 90 days after sales contracts are written.
"Florida's market exhibited all the signs of the annual holiday lull," said Florida Realtors Chief Economist Dr. John Tuccillo. "Because of things like the reduced number of workdays and the presence of other important things to do, the statistics at this time of year don't necessarily give a good read on where the market really is. Three continuing trends to note, however, are rising inventories, declining cash sales and the lessening presence of distressed property sales.
"The first two are indicative of reduced investor activity and thus a return to a more normal market. The last is a product of rising values that have increased market sales relative to short sales and foreclosures."
Inventory was at a 5.5-months' supply in December for single-family homes and at a 5.8-months' supply for townhouse-condo properties, according to Florida Realtors.
According to Freddie Mac, the interest rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.46 percent in December 2013, up from the 3.35 percent average recorded during the same month a year earlier.

Digital Museum - Marvel In Australia Part 1
Tuesday, September 02, 2014
Vale Stan Goldberg
I'm very sad today, as I've been digesting the loss of Stan Goldberg. I got to know him when I was working on the Andru & Esposito book. He was a very kind man, gracious with his time and was utterly tickled that someone from Australia would be be interested in his work and him as a person. I managed to speak to him a few times and correspond a bit, we spoke about Mike a lot as they were very, very good chums, and we found a great middle ground talking about Frank Robbins, who Stan knew via his regular trips to Mexico. Stan was a brilliant chum to Mike Esposito - when Mike was struggling after being sacked by Marvel in the early 1990s, Stan was right there, offering Mike as much work as he could handle with Archie and ensuring that he had an income for as long as he needed one. He did this without being asked to do it, he saw Mike was in a bit of a situation and decided to step in to help - that says everything anyone ever needs to know about Stan.
I shall miss him. He was there at the start of Marvel, both times, first with Timley Comics in the 1940s and 1950s, and then again when Marvel relaunched in the late 1950s and the 1960s. Stan also did a massive amount of work for Archie. He was one of the pioneers and is often overlooked because he was happier doing non-superhero work - check out the romance and Archie style Marvel Comics of the 1960s, usually signed Stan L and Stan G - Stan Lee and Stan Goldberg! If his work people, in particular kids, happy then Stan was happy. He deserves your accolades, and he has more than earned his rest.
Godspeed Stan Goldberg. You were one of the greats and you will not be forgotten.

#Dolphins HC Joe Philbin also was asked about the RB situation:
(On if the running back job is still open) "Absolutely." (On what Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller need to do to secure the starting running back job) "I think they both performed well. When they've had their opportunities, they've both performed well. Obviously Lamar has to catch the ball on 3rd-and-2 when you are wide-open like that. That's a play you have to make in that critical situation early in a ballgame when you want to start fast. But I think they both had a productive camp, and there is still more to be played before we make a final decision." (On if it matters who starts at running back) "We want to reward the guys we feel earned positions on the football team, so obviously it will be important who the starter is."

Hey y'all,
When I learned I had type 2 diabetes, I decided to approach managing the disease with the same positivity and "go get 'em" attitude I have everyday. In the past, I've heard so many stories of people like me that let diabetes control their lives, but I didn't want to let this slow me down. I wanted to take control and have a delicious time doing it.
So today, I want to bring a new light to type 2 diabetes. I, along with Jamie and Bobby, are sharing with Americans an exciting new campaign called "Diabetes in a New Light." It's going to be a tasty journey, and I hope that y'all will come along with me.
Of course, I will continue to share my favorite Southern recipes, just like my mama, grandmother and family shared with me over the years. And now, I'll be adding a little bit of a lighter touch to some of these wonderful dishes. Visit www.diabetesinanewlight.com to join me!
I'm wishin' y'all love and (lighter!) dishes, from my kitchen to yours,

Historical epic, metaphysical mystery, grand conspiracy – no one can accuse the Assassin's Creed games of lacking scope or ambition. But three instalments later with Assassin's Creed: Revelations, there are clear signs of franchise fatigue setting in, with a storyline too dense and tangled to be comprehensible to first-time players. The core mechanic is still here; you can explore and sneak around an open-world historical city, go free-running across rooftops and stalk your targets and murder them – in ways both subtle and gratuitous. But this has been overlaid with pointless activities such as buying shops and businesses, hunting for treasure chests, training a motley crew of master assassins and kitting yourself out with the finest weapons, armour and equipment that your stolen loot can buy. With a host of new features and side-quests, the developers seem to be overcompensating for something. A lack of inspiration, perhaps?

To date, 81 anti-Common Core bills have been filed for the upcoming legislative session, and state representatives Gene Reynolds and Henry Burns believe it is one of the most important issues they will face when they get to Baton Rouge next month.
"There are a whole lot of question marks surrounding Common Core," Reynolds said during a town hall meeting Monday. "There is a lot of sentiment to do away with it – a portion of it, if not all of it. But if we do that, then we have to have something to replace it with."Subscribe to Read!

Hello! I am Antonio Calavera, Filipino TV Tropes addict and English teacher extraordinaire! I've been lurking on the wiki for years and have been immensely pleased with its growth and friendly, sensible attitude towards fiction and its parallels in Real Life. I am a single, geeky, bespectacled lecturer of English literature at a major Jesuit university in Quezon City. I have been a licensed pilot since my college years and am a great fan of graphic novels and Science Fiction. I play more Video Games than are good for me, fly my family's souped-up Cessna 152 on weekends whenever possible, and procrastinate way too much when checking my students' papers. I also enjoy Scuba diving, flying with Dad, and pestering my students, whom I love dearly despite their perpetual grammar problems. After a hiatus of five years, I'm back to writing fan fiction as well. In addition to providing hours of entertainment, TV Tropes has greatly influenced me in the way I think about literature and media, and my students have reaped the benefits. After years of lurking, I've decided to get known and become a Contributor so that I can give something back.

Towards Validating Risk Indicators Based on Measurement Theory
Morali, Ayse and Wieringa, Roel (2010) Towards Validating Risk Indicators Based on Measurement Theory. In: First International Workshop on Risk and Trust in Extended Enterprises, November 1-4, 2010, San Jose, CA, USA.
|Due to the lack of quantitative information and for cost-efficiency purpose, most risk assessment methods use partially ordered values (e.g. high, medium, low) as risk indicators.
In practice it is common to validate risk scales by asking stakeholders whether they make sense. This way of validation is subjective, thus error prone. If the metrics are wrong (not meaningful), then they may lead system owners to distribute security investments inefficiently. Therefore, when validating risk assessment methods it is important to validate the meaningfulness of the risk scales that they use. In this paper we investigate how to validate the meaningfulness of risk indicators based on measurement theory. Furthermore, to analyze the applicability of measurement theory to risk indicators, we analyze the indicators used by a particular risk assessment method specially developed for assessing confidentiality risks in networks of organizations.

And Gretchen!
In unquiet mood
Knows neither what she would or should;
The trinkets night and day thinks o'er;
On him who brought them, dwells still more.
The darling's sorrow grieves me, bring
Another set without delay!
The first, methinks, was no great thing.
All's to my gentleman child's play!
Plan all things to achieve my end!
Engage the attention of her friend!
No milk-and-water devil be,
And bring fresh jewels instantly!
Ay, sir! Most gladly I'll obey.
[FAUST exit.]
Your doting love-sick fool, with ease,
Merely his lady-love to please,
Sun, moon, and stars in sport would puff away.
MARTHA (alone)
God pardon my dear husband, he
Doth not in truth act well by me!
Forth in the world abroad to roam,
And leave me on the straw at home.
And yet his will I ne'er did thwart,
God knows, I lov'd him from my heart.
[She weeps.]
Perchance he's dead!—oh wretched
Had I but a certificate!
(MARGARET comes.)
Dame Martha!
Only think!
My knees beneath me well-nigh sink!
Within my press I've found today
Another case, of ebony.
And things—magnificent they are,
More costly than the first, by far.
You must not name it to your mother!
It would to shrift, just like the other.
Nay look at them! now only see!
MARTHA (dresses her up)
Thou happy creature!
Woe is me!
Them in the street I cannot wear,
Or in the church, or anywhere.
Come often over here to me,
The gems put on quite privately;
And then before the mirror walk an hour or so,
Thus we shall have our pleasure too.
Then suitable occasions we must seize,
As at a feast, to show them by degrees:
A chain at first, pearl ear-drops then,—your mother
Won't see them, or we'll coin some tale or other.

Solar Power currently provides less than 1 percent of the electricity produced in the U.S. Coal provides half of the nations supply followed by nuclear power and natural gas at 20 percent each.
There are three ways to harvest the sun's energy. Solar cells called, photovoltaic, or photoelectric cells convert sun light directly into electricity. On a sunny day one square meter of a solar panel can power a 100W light bulb. Solar panels were originally developed to power satellites. Most photovoltaic cells sold today are made of silicon which is the same material found in computer chips. Photovoltaic cells made from silicon are bulky and expensive to manufacture. New photovoltaic cells made from organic chemicals using nanotechnology should dramatically lower the cost of the production of solar energy. This nanotechnology comes from a mixture of titania (an organic chemical used in sunscreen and toothpaste). This new technology can be placed on thin film or sprayed on like paint. Clothing coated with the composite could be used to recharge batteries or power small electronic devices. Hydrogen powered cars painted with the material could be used to recharge the car's battery. Plastic material coated with the composite could be rolled across large areas of desert creating solar farms which have no moving parts, and are environmentally safe and clean. Current silicon technology can only harvest the sun's visible light. The other half of the sunlight is in the infrared spectrum. The new nanotechnology is able to harvest this infrared portion in the form of heat. The heat is detected by nano particles called quantum dots. Theorists predict nanotechnology could become five times more efficient than the current silicon technology.
Solar water heating from the sun normally supplements the heat produced by gas or electric water heating systems. Water or other liquids are pumped through black pipes that are enclosed in panels that have direct sunlight.
Solar Furnaces use an enormous array of mirrors to concentrate the sunlight to a small location which produces very high temperatures that can be as high as 33,000 degrees Celsius. The multiple mirrors used on a Solar Furnace tracks the sun as it moves across the sky and concentrates this energy into one spot. This concentrated energy is then directed to an oil furnace which would create steam to turn a turbine. The turbine would then generate electricity. Today's best solar cells only convert 20 to 30 percent of the sun's energy into electricity. Multiple mirrors can also be directed to a solar cell increasing the efficiency of the panel by the number of mirrors directed to the solar cell. This could cut the cost of solar power by half.
Solar towers are built above a large greenhouse which is warmed by the sun. The middle of the greenhouse is a very tall tower. Hot air rises and moves quickly through the tower where the air turns turbines.

Why women can be just as shallow as men
By Hugh Wilson

10 things every man should know by the age of 21
Is cohabiting a bad idea?
The dos and don'ts of a whirlwind romance
The weird ways men show love
Are men meant to be monogamous?
It's often said that men are the shallow gender. We apparently rate looks above everything, and when given the choice seem more likely to pick the busty blonde over her smart, witty, but perhaps less attractive friend.
Women are not like that, of course. They choose partners on their ability to talk about feelings and write poetry, and would much prefer a tubby chap who could discuss the meaning of life to his buff but boring brother.
Don't you believe it!
If men are shallow, they're no more so than some women. Don't just take our word for it though. Join NZ Men as we discover what the experts have to say on the matter.
Women don't like male strippers as much as men like female ones. That's self evident, but it's not a sign of greater emotional depth in the fairer sex. Stripping men are subservient, and women are attracted to power.
How do we know? Well, one symbol of power that crosses most cultures is the colour red. When 288 women were shown pictures of men, the men wearing red were rated higher for power and sexiness than their colleagues in other colours.
So looking powerful makes men more sexy. How shallow is that?
Women don't go for looks, they go for emotional intelligence! Surely?
We're afraid that myth has to be laid to rest, too. Women want to be with men they consider good looking, it's just that their definition of good looking is a bit broader than ours.
In one study, 4,000 people were asked to rate photographs of young men and women for attractiveness on a 10-point scale. Most of the men agreed on which of the women in the pictures were attractive. But there was a much larger variation in the pictures of men that women found attractive. In fact, some men who were considered very attractive by some women were also considered particularly unattractive by others.
That's why some women like the foppish vampire from Twilight, while others wouldn't give him the time of day. Women (as a group) lust more widely than us, but they want a hot man just as much as men want a hot woman.
But women aren't as obsessed with physique as men, and that's a fact! Or is it?
Again, scientists would disagree. Studies suggest that women like a toned torso or (mildly) bulging bicep just as much as men like a flat stomach and a pert bottom.
But again women disguise their basic animal instincts under a veneer of sophistication. Research suggests that a few women like body builders, and a few like waifs, but the majority prefer something in-between. Most women like a bit of muscle on their men, but not too much.
The studies suggest they agree on something else, too. Most women don't like fat men. That's probably true the other way round too, of course, but women aren't accused of not valuing the person within.
Which all goes to show that, whatever their protestations, when it comes to looks, women are as shallow as we are. They may be subtler in their tastes, but their interest in physical beauty is as real as ours.
This is where women really come into their own. It's fair to say that when men are checking out women in a bar, the size of their salary is not what's on most men's minds.
Things are different the other way round. It may be subconscious some or even most of the time, but while women are eyeing our looks and muscles, they're also trying to gather clues as to our wealth and status.
There are sound evolutionary reasons for this, of course. If they're thinking of reproducing with us, they want to know we have the means to look after them and their future offspring.
Studies have shown just how money-centric women can be. In one, women were shown a picture of a man in a Bentley, and a picture of the same man in a Ford Fiesta. Guess which man they found more attractive? Another study discovered that women tend to have more orgasms with wealthy men.
There are very good biological reasons for women to be attracted to money. But if men did the same they'd call us shallow.
Penis size
To be fair to the fairer sex, they're not really bothered about the length of our penises. Oh no, what they really care about is the girth. In a study from 2001, 45 out of 50 females reported that width made a positive difference to their level of sexual satisfaction. Quite simply, the vast majority of women prefer a bigger girth.
And if it improves their sex lives, why wouldn't they? But some men think big breasts make their sex lives better, and that preference is put down to the innate shallowness of blokes.
All in all, it seems men and women aren't so very different after all, so let's dive into the shallow end together.

The great artists of yesteryear protrayed women with the fuller figure. Even now, the fuller figured curvy woman is absolutely yummy, sexy & delicious. Todays women, according to the latest media commentators, of whom many are women, are themselves sick & tired of skinny. Hooray for large breasts. Brains-every women has brains duh. Money-who does'nt need it duh-Wealth is the key-e.g., Oprah may be the richest celebrity in the universe, but she does'nt have wealth. The royals have it. Style makes the woman. Not many have it. Most are wannabes so avoid these cretins at all costs. As for the babes section-don't look duh. Superb article Hugh
Pip, the author refers 2 women disguising "their basic animal instincts under a veneer of sophistication" as u have precisely done. "Wealth represents security, plus the healthy work ethic of the man who possesses it", "Muscle- in moderation- represents health"...yeah right and these are the rationalizations that go through most woman's minds when checking out a man...I Don't think so Pip! Women are emotional creatures, not rational one's especially when dating...in other words they flock to their Fantasy bloke for superficial reasons, regardless of the evolutionary arguments you suggest which r highly subconcious. Its like a male saying that he is not shallow for being attracted to a physically attractive woman because it boosts his status in society, and it enables him to have attractive offspring which will be more successful because of it. Both these arguments are generally true...but don't excuse men from being shallow, as it's subconcious to men also. Both sexes r shallow!
Stacey, You cant understand that guys love boobs?? of course they make our sex lifes better.. I'm sorry but what straight man wants to have it off with a chick that looks like a guy Breasts make woman much more womanly and more attractive. Like it or not Breasts are sexualised. Im not refuting that their main purpose is to feed offspring. but they are fun for us too And this is nzmen. If u dont like the babes section dont look at it.
Oh come on, what a load this is. Seriously, the only shallow thing here is the bit about penis size. Wealth represents security, plus the healthy work ethic of the man who possesses it. Attraction according to looks is a combination of biology and social conditioning, and since when have people been able to choose who they are attracted to anyway? Same thing applies to power. Muscle- in moderation- represents health, and it is in no way shallow to choose a partner who knows how to look after their body, it's sensible. At least you said "some" women. And all the guys I know who are into poetry are immature, narcissistic losers who think they're superior to everyone else, no wonder women don't want them.
The quote "some men think big breasts make their sex lives better, and that preference is put down to the innate shallowness of blokes" is stupid because penis is meant for sex while breast were meant for feeding your baby - not to be sexualised. Lol PS WTF is up with your babes section - it's degrading!

Making maps with WebGL
At &yet, we like to think that what's the future for the web is the future for us. Well, WebGL is an upcoming HTML5 framework that will let web apps take advantage of the fast graphics cards in computers and smartphones, and it may be standard soon. Our resident "cloud cartographer" has explored some uncommon ways of using WebGL, and is now writing about the results in third person.
What You Are About To See uses WebGL to quickly transform raster and vector data using map projections. Rather than focusing on the 3D capabilities of graphics cards and street-level map data, this prototype concentrates on making a nicely shaped world map, and then animating between projections to test its speed.
View demo
(Note: you'll need to use Chromium [Mac OS X, Windows, 64-bit Linux or 32-bit Linux] or another properly-configured nightly build browser.)
This is done by doing the complicated projection math in a vertex shader on the accelerated graphics card processor instead of in JavaScript on the main CPU. The graphics card's GPU is great at drawing pixels from shapes and images, and most CPUs have enough other things to keep them busy, so it's really helpful to move work to the GPU in this way.
With a bit more work on this prototype, and a bit more time for browsers to finalize their implementations, you can imagine being able to embed world maps in webpages that interactively display and animate data. With the flexibility and speed of WebGL, the map wouldn't have to be pre-generated in a fixed projection, but could instead be dynamically reshaped based on the user's zoom level and area of interest.

Next European Space Elevator Challenge
News will be announced on this website and on our Facebook page.Requirements 2012:Visit the Requirements page for more information. The detailed Handbook is available at Downloads.
Make it ecology-minded, make it efficient, make it european!
Your challenge: Build a climber, that - based on the concept of a real space elevator - drives autonomously, carries high payloads and manages its energy efficiently.
For the future of Space Elevator in Europe
The objectives of European Space Elevator Challenge are,
- to inspire young engineers and scientists - especially in Europe - about the Idea of the Space Elevator and to establish furthermore a bigger Space Elevator community in Europe
- to share experience, improve the understanding of the Space Elevator and finally make use of this knowledge in building the real Space Elevator
- to introduce the Space Elevator to a wider public.
An elevator to the stars? Is that really possible?
The concept is pretty easy. An elevator drives on an extremely tear-resistant tether at least 36.000 km up to the space. At the top of the tether a satellite or a space station is placed. The tether is permanently strained by the balance of the gravitation and the centrifugal forces.

New Video Builds Momentum in Global Effort to End Neglected Tropical Diseases by 2020
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a hard-hitting new video released today, celebrities from around the world called for support in the global effort to control and eliminate seven diseases that plague more than 1 billion people around the world, including 500 million children. In the video, international actors and musicians witness the devastation neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) cause and encourage their fans to be part of the solution. The video is part of the END7 campaign, the first global public awareness initiative dedicated to controlling and eliminating the seven most prevalent NTDs by 2020.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130225/DC65582)
Emily Blunt ("Salmon Fishing in the Yemen," "Devil Wears Prada"); Eddie Redmayne ("Les Miserables," "My Week with Marilyn"); Tom Felton ("Harry Potter" series); Yvonne Chaka Chaka (South African pop star); Tom Hollander ("Pirates of the Caribbean," "Pride and Prejudice"); and Priyanka Chopra (leading Bollywood actress and international recording artist) are featured in the video. These celebrities join a growing cast of supporters including Katy Perry, Ewan McGregor, Alyssa Milano, Norah Jones, Rosanna Cash, Paula Abdul and Stella McCartney to help raise public awareness about NTDs.
"Until recently, I didn't even know these diseases existed," said actress Emily Blunt. "The serious disabilities and suffering they inflict on the world's poorest people is heart-wrenching. But I was inspired to join the END7 campaign because, for once, the solution is simple and available now. And the cost for treatment is so low that almost anyone can make a big difference by giving just a few cents."
END7 relies heavily on individuals spreading the word and getting involved through Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. It aims to raise the public awareness and funding required to cover the cost of distributing medicine and setting up treatment programs for NTDs. END7 is encouraging supporters to sign a pledge to inspire global policy leaders and philanthropists to take action and help end these diseases by 2020.
It costs approximately 50 cents to treat one person against the seven most common NTDs for an entire year. Pharmaceutical companies have donated billions of pills to treat these diseases, and many programs use existing infrastructure, such as schools and community centers, as distribution points, making NTD treatment one of most cost-effective public health initiatives available today.
The seven most common NTDs—hookworm, ascariasis (roundworm), trichuriasis (whipworm), schistosomiasis (snail fever), lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis), onchocerciasis (river blindness) and trachoma—infect more than one in six people worldwide, including more than 500 million children. They cause blindness, massive swelling in appendages and limbs, severe malnutrition and anemia. NTDs prevent children from growing and learning. They reduce adults' economic productivity and ability to care for their families, keeping communities trapped in a cycle of poverty and disease.
"In India alone, nearly 700 million people are at risk for elephantiasis and more than 200 million children are at risk for worm infections," said Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra. "Through the END7 campaign, we can offer a solution that will change the lives of millions of people living in poverty in Asia and around the world. I am proud to be a part of the global effort to end these diseases."
The END7 campaign was launched in 2012 by the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases, an initiative of the Sabin Vaccine Institute. Wunderman UK leads the creative direction for the campaign, which includes this latest video along with the campaign's website, Facebook hub and the previously released "Mission in a Minute" video.
"We are building a movement that allows nearly everyone to play a part in making these diseases history," said Dr. Neeraj Mistry, managing director of the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases. "Since last January's London Declaration, we have seen a significant increase in support for NTD control and elimination among global leaders. What we need now is for the general public to get involved in our cause."
To watch the video, entitled END7: How to Shock a Celebrity, and learn more about the END7 campaign, visit www.end7.org.
Tom Felton
"I have really been impressed with the support for END7 among my fans," said Tom Felton. "END7 is unique because so little goes such a long way. Through Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, young people can donate and share the campaign with their friends. A simple social media post can make a big impact."
Eddie Redmayne
"After watching the footage of these diseases, I was compelled to learn more," said Eddie Redmayne. "While these diseases might be complicated, the solution is simple: 50 cents is all it takes to treat someone infected with up to seven of the most common NTDs."
Tom Hollander
"What struck me most about END7 is that the tools to treat these diseases are already available," said Tom Hollander. "What's missing is the public support to help get the medicine to the communities that need it most. I am proud to do my part, and urge my fans to learn about NTDs and what we can do to treat and prevent them."
Yvonne Chaka Chaka
"These diseases are very real, even if people are not talking about them" said Yvonne Chaka Chaka. "Africa carries 50 percent of the global NTD burden, and I've seen their impact first hand. The END7 campaign is sparking a global movement to end these diseases."
About END7
END7 is an international advocacy campaign that seeks to raise the awareness and funding necessary to control and eliminate the seven most common neglected tropical diseases by 2020. The international effort to control and eliminate NTDs has the support of a diverse group of global partners, including the World Health Organization (WHO), national governments, pharmaceutical companies, corporations and individuals. END7 is run by the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases, an initiative of the Sabin Vaccine Institute.
About NTDs
NTDs are a group of 17 parasitic and bacterial infections that are the most common afflictions of the world's poorest people. They blind, disable and disfigure their victims, trapping them in a cycle of poverty and disease. Research shows that treating NTDs lifts millions out of poverty by ensuring that children stay in school to learn and prosper; by strengthening worker productivity; and by improving maternal and child health.
About Sabin Vaccine Institute
Sabin Vaccine Institute is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization of scientists, researchers, and advocates dedicated to reducing needless human suffering caused by vaccine preventable and neglected tropical diseases. Sabin works with governments, leading public and private organizations, and academic institutions to provide solutions for some of the world's most pervasive health challenges. Since its founding in 1993 in honor of the oral polio vaccine developer, Dr. Albert B. Sabin, the Institute has been at the forefront of efforts to control, treat and eliminate these diseases by developing new vaccines, advocating use of existing vaccines and promoting increased access to affordable medical treatments.

As part of an overhaul of the tax system, a popular deduction could be at risk.

The mortgage interest tax deduction isn't available to every taxpayer, but that doesn't stop it from getting a whole lot of attention. The reason: Our homes are usually our largest purchases. And if you can claim this home-related tax break, it goes a long way in helping lower your eventual tax bill. But as I've noted over
