Diamond 'reluctant' to act over pay
Former Barclays boss Bob Diamond was "reluctant" to accept pay at the bank was too high and the board ignored recommendations to withhold his bonus for 2011, MPs have heard.
Alison Carnwath, previous head of remuneration at the bank, told the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards she believed Mr Diamond should have received no bonus at all for 2011 after a year of poor performance and mounting anger over banker pay.
In her first public hearing since resigning last year amid a storm of controversy, Ms Carnwath said Mr Diamond was "overly protective" of his investment bankers.
She told MPs: "The committee was aware that pay was at the top end of the scale and asked the chief executive on his appointment to take a leadership position and clarify the pay culture to staff. Mr Diamond was reluctant to do this and reluctant to accept pay at Barclays was high, particularly in the investment bank."
Ms Carnwath stepped down last July, citing "personal reasons" and "other commitments" for her departure, which came after the exit of Mr Diamond and chief operating officer Jerry del Missier following the bank's £290 million fine for Libor rigging.
She found herself at the heart of a shareholder rebellion in 2012 over Mr Diamond's 2011 pay package when some 23% of investors failed to back her re-election.
Mr Diamond received around £18 million in salary, bonus, benefits and vested long-term share awards in 2011, including a near-£2 million annual bonus - around 75% of the maximum payout.
But she insisted she was "amazed" at the planned payout for Mr Diamond and said her recommendations fell on deaf ears. She said: "My determination was quite straight forward, return to shareholders had been poor and Mr Diamond needed to set an example to all stakeholders that remuneration policies had to change to reflect the low return environment."
The hearing comes as scandal-hit Barclays is reportedly in talks with shareholders over plans to pay its new boss Antony Jenkins a bonus worth more than £1 million, despite the bank being forced to allocate almost £2 billion for fines relating to rate-rigging and mis-selling scandals.
Barclays' current remuneration committee head Sir John Sunderland told the committee the bonus plans were "speculation" and said Mr Jenkins's bonus had not yet been determined. Sir John, who was involved in the decision to award Mr Diamond a 2011 bonus, admitted the bank should have reined in the former chief executive's handout. In aggressive questioning, Sir John was asked whether his predecessor was right and he was wrong not to have agreed to scrap Mr Diamond's 2011 bonus. He said: "With hindsight, would it have been better if the bonus was less? Possibly," he said.

Why going green is the Jewish way
"The Eternal God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden, to keep it and to watch over it." (Genesis 2:15)
The foundation of the Jewish relationship with the environment stems from Genesis 2:15 which states: "The Lord God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden, to till it and tend it."
Later rabbinic commentary on that verse adds detail to God's instructions to Adam: "Look at My works! How beautiful and praiseworthy they are! And everything I made, I created for you. Be careful [though] that you don't spoil or destroy my world—because if you spoil it, there is nobody after you to fix it." (Ecclesiastes Rabbah 7:13). As modern stewards of creation we too must be especially careful not no destroy this earth beyond repair.
Jewish tradition emphasizes many additional values speaking to our nation's need for energy policies that are environmentally responsible and that pay due attention to the public health and safety of both present and future generations. Humankind has a solemn obligation to improve the world for future generations.
Among the many insightful Jewish environmental quotes and ancient teachings, these are some of the most poetic texts dealing with environmental integrity and eco-justice:
Genesis 9:9-10: "Behold, I establish my Covenant with you, with your children after you, and with every living creature that is with you, of the birds, of the cattle and of every wild animal of the earth with you."
Exodus 23:6: "do not subvert the rights of your needy."
Leviticus 19:15: "do not favor the poor or show deference to the rich."
Deuteronomy 20:19: "When you besiege a city a long time, to make war against it in order to capture it, you shall not destroy its trees by swinging an axe against them; for you may eat from them, and you shall not cut them down. For is the tree of the field a man, that it should be besieged by you?"
Deuteronomy 22:6: "Do not take the mother bird with her young." Rabbi Nachmanides interpreted this to mean that we are prohibited from taking actions causing the extinction of a species. Someone who kills mother and children in one day, or takes them while they are free to fly away, is considered as if having destroyed the species.
Psalm 24:1 "The Earth is God's, and the fullness thereof."
Psalm 33:5: "God loves righteousness and justice; the Earth is full of God's loving-kindness."
Rabbi Isaac b.Sheshet, Resp. 196, 14thc: "One is forbidden from gaining a livelihood at the expense of another's health."
Genesis Rabah 10:7, Shabbat 77b, and Exodus Rabah 10:1. "Of all the things God created, nothing was created in vain — not even the things you may think unnecessary, such as spiders, frogs or snakes. All beings are part of the greater scheme of creation of the world."
Sefer HaChinuch 529; 13th Century: "Righteous people … do not waste in this world even a mustard seed. They become sorrowful with every wasteful and destructive act that they see, and if they can, they use all their strength to save everything possible from destruction. But the wicked … rejoice in the destruction of the world, just as they destroy themselves."
Avot de Rabbi Nathan, 31b: Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai … used to say: "if you have a sapling in your hand, and someone should say to you that the Messiah has come, stay and complete the planting, and then go to greet the Messiah."
Midrash Tanchuma, Parashat Noach: When Noah came out of the ark, he opened his eyes and saw the whole world completely destroyed. He began crying for the world and said, God, how could you have done this? … God replied, Oh Noah, how different you are from the way Abraham… will be. He will argue with me on behalf of Sodom and Gomorrah when I tell him that I plan their destruction… But you, Noah, when I told you I would destroy the entire world, I lingered and delayed, so that you would speak on behalf of the world. But when you knew you would be safe in the ark, the evil of the world did not touch you. You thought of no one but your family. And now you complain? Then Noah knew that he had sinned.
Exodus Rabah 2:5: When we ponder why God appeared to Moses in a lowly bush, the rabbis tell us it is to illustrate that nothing in creation is without God's holy presence, not even the most common bush.
The Talmud explains: While the sage, Choni, was walking along a road, he saw a man planting a carob tree. Choni asked him: "How long will it take for this tree to bear fruit?" "Seventy years," replied the man. Choni then asked: "Are you so healthy a man that you expect to live that length of time and eat its fruit?" The man answered: "I found a fruitful world because my ancestors planted it for me. Likewise, I am planting for my children."
The principle of pikuach nefesh – saving lives above all else – is the greatest Jewish moral obligation. In order to fulfill this obligation we must do everything in our power to protect the environment as a vehicle for saving the lives of millions of humans and diverse species worldwide, especially those unable to adapt to a changing climate.
"It is not required of you to complete the task but neither are you free to desist from it" ( Pirkei Avot 2:21)

Tiger Woods withdrew from The Players Championship on Sunday due to fears that he was suffering a bulging disk injury. Golf Channel sportscaster Win McMurry dutifully passed the news on to viewers, but a verbal slip-up confused Woods' neck with something significantly more genital.
Yes, McMurry inadvertently reported that Woods suffered a "bulging d--k," instantly reminding viewers of Woods' myriad affairs. Scroll down to watch.
Women linked to Tiger Woods
- Raychel Coudriet, the daughter of Woods' neighbor, met the golfer when she was just 14.
- Devon James is a "porn queen" whose alleged escort listing contained plenty of naked pictures.
- Emma Rotherham allegedly had early-morning sex on Woods' office couch. Tiger reportedly loved to see her in black stockings and suspenders.
- Jaimee Grubbs (PHOTOS) saved a voicemail from her lover, as well as steamy text messages. Jaimee stripped down for two magazines (sexy PHOTOS).
- Jamie Jungers (PHOTOS) says she and Tiger had "wild" and "crazy" sex against a wall. She also claims to have slept with Woods the night his father died. Jungers, who allegedly once worked as a stripper, parlayed her newfound fame into jobs pitching vodka and an auction web site. She also appeared on the Today show and Dateline.
- Julie Postle (PHOTOS) allegedly met Woods when she worked as a cocktail waitress in Orlando. Tiger was reportedly "obsessed" with Postle and "really hunted" her. She was also photographed in a bikini.
- Susie Ogren says she took ecstasy with Tiger and he hoped "to get me into bed."
- Rachel Uchitel (PHOTOS) was the first of Tiger's alleged mistresses. Woods reportedly emailed her once to say that "I finally found someone I connect with." In another alleged email, Woods shared a steamy fantasy of Uchitel simultaneously having sex with Derek Jeter and Bones star David Boreanaz. A National Enquirer source called Uchitel a "celebrity whore."
- Loredana Jolie, a Playboy model, was allegedly "one of [Tiger's] favorites." She is planning a book that will spill the beans on Woods' alleged sexual encounters with men.
- Theresa Rogers has been described as a "cougar" who allegedly boasted that she taught Tiger "everything he needed to know to be a great lover." She reportedly conceived a baby while she was seeing Woods, but an article suggests she believes the father is a Serbian basketball player she was also seeing at the time. According to another article, Woods told Rogers that he only married Elin Nordegren to boost his image. The 40-something Rogers may have negotiated a payoff in exchange for her silence.
- Joslyn James is a porn star (PHOTOS, VIDEO) who has starred in films such as Porn Star Brides and MIA - Milfs In Action. She is also wanted in Washington state.
- Holly Sampson is a porn star (NSFW pictures, video) whose films include Descent Into Bondage and Diary of a Horny Housewife. She may have worked as an escort (NSFW) and appeared in a video in which she describes her "amazing" sex with Tiger Woods. In another article, she spoke about the "sensual, beautiful experience."

UNITED NATIONS – A new U.N. report says 34 countries, nearly 80 percent of them in Africa, don't have enough food for their people because of conflicts, drought and flooding.
The Food and Agriculture Organization's Crop Prospects and Food Situation report released Wednesday says drought associated with El Nino has "sharply reduced" 2016 crop production prospects in southern Africa.
In areas of Central America and the Caribbean, the report says dry conditions linked to El Nino may affect the planting of crops for the main growing season for the third consecutive year.
The report says expectations for harvests in Morocco and Algeria have also been lowered due to dry conditions.
FAO's first forecast for wheat production in 2016 is 723 million tons. That's 10 million tons below the record output in 2015.

From Royal Oak, Michigan, USA:
How do I keep my blood sugar under control?
Keeping your diabetes under control when you're a teenager can be difficult. Your body is producing hormones that sometimes make insulin less effective, plus you're growing, often have very busy schedules, and are under a lot of stress. All of those things can make your diabetes a challenge.
If you're having a difficult time keeping your blood sugars in the range you want, I would recommend asking your parents and your diabetes team for suggestions. Explain what your schedule is like and when, during the day, you're having problems with control. Your team can work with you on a strategy to help with control while still allowing you to do the things you need -- and want -- to do.
If you're using Regular or NPH insulin, I would recommend that you talk with your diabetes team about using either Lantus as your basal insulin or an insulin pump. Both Lantus and pumps have been shown to result in better A1c results with a lower risk of hypoglycemia, both of which mean better control.
Finally, it's really important that you know that a blood sugar is just a number -- it's neither good nor bad. Sometimes you do everything you're supposed to do and your blood sugar is high or low. That doesn't mean you've failed or been bad -- that's part of being a teenager with diabetes. Don't give up and don't let it get you upset.

Something about Walter Reed's three-page plea for privacy and understanding sounded so familiar.
Following months of damning media reports on all matter of questionable professional, political and personal behavior, the St. Tammany and Washington parishes DA finally responded last week — right at the height of the hubbub over former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin's sentencing for effectively trading his position for personal gain.
That's when it hit me. For someone who wants people to believe he's no Ray Nagin, Reed's defense sounded an awful lot like, well, Ray Nagin.
Even after being convicted by a jury, Nagin continued to insist he was the good guy in the mix, the put-upon leader who was entirely focused on fighting for the citizens of New Orleans in its darkest days, even as everyone was sniping at him.
Reed seems to suffer from good-guy syndrome as well, insisting that, noise aside, "the most important measurement for the citizens of St. Tammany and Washington parishes is whether our office is ensuring the safety of our citizens and their community. I, along with my staff, will continue to ... meet those high expectations despite time consuming and often unnecessary distractions by those with their own personal and professional agendas."
Never mind that some of the stories on Reed have focused specifically on whether he was actually fulfilling his duties. Like the time Reed recused the office from prosecuting a negligent homicide case because he was representing the victims' family in a lawsuit as a private lawyer. He'd later boast of winning a $2.4 million settlement, a figure that must have earned him quite a cut.
Like Nagin, Reed insists on the right to private business dealings, even when they raise clear questions over propriety, or worse. Nagin sought work for and investment in the family granite business from contractors and others with business before the city. Reed had a supposedly outside deal to provide legal counsel for St. Tammany Parish Hospital but would sometimes send an assistant DA to meetings in his place. It's unclear whether the assistant was paid by Reed or the taxpayers.
Nagin also refused to acknowledge that others saw helping his relatives — in this case, the grown sons with whom he'd set up the granite business — as a way to curry favor with him. Meanwhile, Reed acts as if his brother's job at the same public hospital is nobody's business, although emails from hospital administrators suggest they felt pressure to keep him on payroll even if they didn't have enough work for him to do.
Nagin used to whine about the press' expectation that he'd comply with public records law and fulfill requests and even talked of cold-cocking a reporter he thought was too much in his business (That reporter, Lee Zurik, now of WVUE, happens to be one of many on the Reed story as well.) Reed complained in his statement of being "inundated" by requests but said his office has worked to fulfill them, even though they've "created a drain on my office's resources and a distraction from the primary function of administering justice in the Courts." He went on to list the many ways in which he thinks the requests are irrelevant, improper or off point and to dismiss coverage as "personal attacks" and "sensationalism."
As with Nagin, the feds don't seem to think so. They've convened a grand jury, conducted interviews and visited his office. They've also subpoenaed the lawyer who attended those hospital meetings, as well as documents concerning Reed's campaign committee's payments to his son, allegedly for catering a fundraiser for which it's not at all clear he provided commensurate goods and services.
The key difference between the two pols, of course, is that Nagin is headed to prison for 10 years, while Reed has not been charged with a crime. Perhaps he never will be.
Even so, if Reed chooses to run for re-election this fall, he'll have to come up with something better than playing the poor, picked-on victim. The voters have heard it all too many times before.

Bacterial microcompartment assembly: The key role of encapsulation peptides
Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are proteinaceous organelles used by a broad range of bacteria to segregate and optimize metabolic reactions. Their functions are diverse, and can be divided into anabolic (carboxysome) and catabolic (metabolosomes) processes, depending on their cargo enzymes. The assembly pathway for the β-carboxysome has been characterized, revealing that biogenesis proceeds from the inside out. The enzymes coalesce into a procarboxysome, followed by encapsulation in a protein shell that is recruited to the procarboxysome by a short (~17 amino acids) extension on the C-terminus of one of the encapsulated proteins. A similar extension is also found on the N- or C-termini of a subset of metabolosome core enzymes. These encapsulation peptides (EPs) are characterized by a primary structure predicted to form an amphipathic α-helix that interacts with shell proteins. In this study, we review the features, function and widespread occurrence of EPs among metabolosomes, and propose an expanded role for EPs in the assembly of diverse BMCs.

|Guest appearance(s)
Nichelle Nichols as herself
"Simple Simpson" is the nineteenth episode of The Simpsons' fifteenth season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on May 2, 2004.
After seeing a commercial where he could win a free tour of "Farmer Billy's Bacon" factory, Homer goes on a pursuit to find the golden ticket. He, however, only wins a silver ticket, which allows him to be the judge of the pig competition at the Springfield County Fair. At the fair, Lisa's entry in the place setting competition is wrecked by the Rich Texan, who then mocks her, which causes Homer to want to retaliate. Recalling a warning from Chief Wiggum that he will be arrested if he commits another assault felony, Homer disguises himself as a masked superhero, "The Pie Man", and throws a pie straight into the Rich Texan's face, leaving him humiliated and the crowd laughing. The next day, after Homer hears that the Comic Book Guy has ripped off Bart, he arrives as the Pie Man (with a newer look) and throws a pie in his face, humiliating him in front of Nichelle Nichols, whom the Comic Book Guy invited for tea and some chit chat, and then promptly leaves as soon as she sees his face with pie (saying she would not date William Shatner for the same reason).
As the days go by, the Pie Man becomes big news, pieing many of "Springfield's scoundrels". Springfield's citizens anticipate that the Pie Man will come to the opening ceremony for the new cosmetic surgery clinic, which Mayor Quimby has built in place of the previous occupant, the Springfield Children's Hospital. Chief Wiggum also has a trap planned for Pie Man, because he's upset that Pie Man is skipping the most important part of being the law ("bike safety lectures"). As expected, Pie Man arrives, but as the trap is sprung on him, Pie Man escapes, though not before being shot in the arm. He also saves Marge from being trampled by the panicking crowd and steals a kiss from her, which causes Marge to become infatuated with Pie Man.
Returning home and after prying the bullet out of his arm, Homer is exposed as the Pie Man by Lisa, who had suspected him to be the Pie Man after repeatedly getting his mail. Homer reveals his secret life in the "Pie Cave", which is just the basement, where Lisa pleads with Homer to stop his Pie Man persona before he gets more seriously hurt. Homer promises to stop.
Yet the next day at the power plant, Homer can't cope with Mr. Burns's bullying of him and his co-workers. After imagining a conversation with pies, Homer decides to be Pie Man one last time to get back at Burns. After pieing him, Homer tries to run off, but falls asleep on a couch right behind Burns. Captured by Burns and Smithers, Homer is exposed by Burns, who then promptly blackmails Homer to be his "personal hitman", to pie those that Mr. Burns hates, lest be ratted out to the police and being forced to do community service.
After pieing himself and later a Girl Scout selling cookies, Homer is asked by Burns to pie Tibetan Buddhism spiritual teacher, the Dalai Lama (because according to Mr. Burns "all his talk of peace and love is honking off my Red Chinese masters"[1]). Appearing at the Dalai Lama's gathering, Homer sees Lisa is present and is stuck between breaking his promise to her and Burns' threat. Just as he prepares to pie the Lama, Homer stops and decides to reveal himself as the Pie Man. However, nobody believes Homer is the Pie Man due to his stupidity, even when he insists. Lisa then tells Homer that he had created a hero that he himself couldn't live up to. Accepting what she said, Homer takes Lisa home, relieved that he's finally free from Burns' control.
That night, Marge admits that she also knew Homer was the Pie Man, saying, "It was clearly you in that suit. You'd have to be an idiot not to see it from the start." Homer then stands on the roof, declaring that the Pie Man will return to help people who get mistreated, along with his new sidekick, The Cupcake Kid (Bart). Marge then asks them to clean out the gutters since they're already up on the roof, much to their irritation.
Cultural references[edit]
The scene of Homer making his Pie Man costume and his upside-down kiss with Marge in the alley are both parodies of the 2002 film Spider-Man.[2] Farmer Billy's "Golden Ticket" contest is a reference to the contest in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl; like Willy Wonka he wears a top hat.[2] The show Promiscuous Idiot's Island is a parody of the reality shows Temptation Island, Joe Millionaire and The Bachelor.[2] Lisa's placemat features the quote "If music be the food of love, play on," from Act 1, Scene 1 of Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare. In the commercial of "Farmer Billy's Bacon" factory the pig in blue overalls and a hat looks similar to Porky Pig.[2] The country singer at the fair resembles real-life country star Alan Jackson, while the song "America (I Love this Country)" is a parody of Lee Greenwood's song "God Bless the USA" and the Dalai Lama's entrance music is "See See Rider", just like Elvis Presley.[2]
The episode's couch gag sees the Simpsons slide down to the Batcave dressed as characters from the Batman franchise, specifically their 1960s Batman incarnations: Homer is Batman, Marge is Catwoman, Lisa and Maggie are Batgirl and Bart is Robin.[3]
Other media[edit]
The character of Pie Man has been included in the comic series Simpsons Super Spectacular.[4] In 2007, McFarlane Toys released a 6-inch figurine of Homer and Bart as Pie Man and Cupcake Kid.[5]

This one came straight from a client in a meeting, as they were considering setting up their corporate Twitter account:
How do we get started and not look like a Twitter Noob? We have been wanting to tweet for a while, but we don't want our customers to think we don't know what we're doing.
So, you're ready to Tweet, right? You've realized that Twitter isn't just people sharing what they ate for breakfast and that there might be some real value to engaging with the 100 million active users that might give you valuable insights about your products, services, and competitors. Before you jump in and start tweeting away, here are seven tips that can help you avoid looking like a newbie and (hopefully) avoid some common pitfalls.
1) Don't Be An Egg – Adjust your Twitter profile photo to something other than the egg. Most users would prefer to interact with a human being, so consider having the person managing your Twitter account upload their photo. If you absolutely don't want a persons' face, then at least upload a nice, high-res image of your company or brand logo.
2) Fill out your profile – Nothing irks me more than a follow from a Twitter profile with no description. Who are you? What do you like? Are you actually a human being? Why should I follow you back? Take 5 minutes and come up with a short description that tells me something about you.
3)Download Tweetdeck or sign up for a HootSuite account – Nobody really tweets from Twitter.com. It's hard to follow all the conversations and you can't look at multiple conversation streams at the same time. Tools like HootSuite and TweetDeck make Twitter much easier to use and manage. Personally, I like HootSuite because it's web-based and I can access it anywhere. TweetDeck has it's benefits too, so try one and if you don't like it, try the other.
4) Follow some folks – It's likely that you know people on Twitter. Your employees are probably tweeting. Your competitors are probably tweeting. Heck, your grandma might be tweeting. Click the Follow button and their status updates will start appearing in your home feed. If you're interested in learning more about social media, feel free to follow me @socmedsean. Don't go follow crazy, though. Twitter does look at certain following:follower ratios to identify spam accounts, so try to keep your follower to following ratio around 1:1.
5) Learn what a hashtag is and how to use it – On Twitter, hashtags are used to categorize your tweet into a specific topic. For instance, suppose I write a blog post about signs that organizations might not understand Enterprise 2.0 and I want to make sure that everyone on Twitter who is interested in intranets sees my tweet. I might write a tweet that goes something like this:
10 Signs Your Organization Hasn't Quite Figured Out Enterprise 2.0 http://ow.ly/7GiEs
Notice that nowhere in my tweet is the word "intranet". So, how do I make sure that my tweet gets in front of those who are interested in intranets? I add the intranet hashtag. So my tweet will end up looking like this, instead:
10 Signs Your Organization Hasn't Quite Figured Out Enterprise 2.0 http://ow.ly/7GiEs #intranet
Be sure not to stuff your tweets too full of hashtags. There is such thing as hashtag overload and it gets a little annoying.
6) Set up some searches and conversations to follow – In TweetDeck and HootSuite, your home feed represents the tweets from people you are following. You can set up additional columns, however, that consists of mentions of specific search terms. For instance, I like to hear what people say about online community management, so I have a column that filters all the tweets for the #cmgr hashtag. This allows me to easily see what topics people are discussing that relate to that topic. Set up searches for your company name, brand names, and industry keywords. Heck, set up searches for your competitors and see what your prospective customers think about their products.
7) Learn the limits and get comfortable with them – Tweets were initialy limited to 140 characters, and that's still a good guide to use. Also, just because you have more characters, doesn't mean you should use them all. Try to keep your tweets below 125 characters so that others can retweet your tweets. In some tools like HootSuite, only the first 125 characters show anyway…so make sure your entire message is visible by keeping it short and sweet. When someone retweets you, it adds "RT" and your twitter handle to the message, which could cause their RT to go above 140 characters. They then have the choice of either editing the tweet or not retweeting it. Either way is not optimal for your message.
8 ) Use contractions and symbols, but avoid netslang – Instead of typing "would not", type "won't". Instead of "did not", use "didn't". Use the & symbol instead of typing "and". These small adjustments can save you characters and help make your messages easier to retweet. Avoid using netslang, though. Things like "UR" instead of "your" or "2" instead of "to" can make your tweets confusing. Take the time to craft and re-craft your tweets to say what you want within the limits. It's a skill that takes a little time to develop, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be typing in 125 characters in no time.
9) Listen – Don't just start tweeting and DON'T start tweeting links to your product pages. Twitter is not about marketing, it's about building relationships. Again, listen. Watch the conversation streams. Learn. Then, engage in human conversations. See someone that has a question, answer it. Have an opinion on a tweet? Express it. Commented on a blog post? Share it.
Again…don't try to sell to your tweeps.
10) Determine how you can help your followers – Why are people following your twitter account? Do they want updates on products? Are they looking for customer support? Maybe they want coupons or discounts. Ask them what they'd like to see from you and then provide it, when possible. Contribute to the community and you'll see big returns from your followers.
I hope these tips help get you started on Twitter and help you avoid some of the common pitfalls. Happy tweeting and let me know if you have additional tips to add.

Police confiscate US man's 10,000-gun arsenal: reports
Police in South Carolina arrested a man who stashed an arsenal of up to 10,000 mostly stolen guns at his home, news reports said on Tuesday.
Brent Nicholson, 51, was detained over the weekend after mountains of rifles and handguns were found stacked at his home and in a nearby storage facility.
Hundreds more weapons were found at a liquor store Nicholson runs with his father, and at his parents' home, the Charlotte Observer newspaper reported.

Police said they will need several days to catalogue the arsenal, which also included crossbows, ammunition and more than 500 chainsaws.
The Observer wrote that authorities on Saturday needed four 40-foot (12-meter-long) tractor-trailer trucks to haul away the contraband weapons, which were taken to an armory near the sheriff's office to be processed.
News reports said officials discovered the arsenal over the weekend when sheriff's deputies went to Nicholson's home in Pageland, South Carolina to serve a subpoena on an unrelated matter, said local sheriff Jay Brooks.
On the front lawn of Nicholson's home, "in plain sight," police found chainsaws and a welder that had been reported stolen, Brooks said.
Police obtained a warrant and searched the home, which is when they discovered the surprise weapons cache with "literally thousands of guns," he added said.
"They secured the scene and called everybody in. We've been there ever since, and we'll probably be working on this into next week."

The Spring 2014 LEGO Ideas review is over, and the company has announced the next set will feature female scientists.
LEGO unveiled the three minisets in the latest video, and though there were some great sets, including Sherlock, in the mix, the nod to women in science is a big win for the toy company.
With the big push to get more girls in to STEM areas, I hope this set encourages women in science.

It's been a dream of mine since I was a young lad, to hike the PCT. I don't quite remember when I first heard about it but it was probably in my childhood. A portion of the trail ran right through where I grew up, The Columbia River Gorge. There were trail markers I'd see quite often and through hikers I occasionally saw in the summer. When I was young, I never thought much of the trail. It was only once I got older that I knew I need to experience it.
Throughout my early twenties, something or other got in the way of things I wanted to do. A lot of the times it was work but sometimes it was money, as I just didn't have enough. As I worked as hard as I possibly thought I could, that old saying came to mind "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy". I had wanted to live in Japan since I was a kid, so I went for it.
I packed up and headed out at the ripe age of twenty four. I found a job as an English teacher. I had only planned to stay three years but financial troubles and falling in love has kept me here a bit longer.
I'm thirty now, still in Japan and trying to figure out my next step in life. I want to return to America but I don't quite want to go straight back to work. Living in Japan as a teacher has given me something most people don't experience; two and a half months of paid vacation. The time off has given me time to think about a whole lot of different things. The PCT being one of them. I'm sure the trail isn't going to fix my problems but spending time in nature is a form of therapy for me. I'll have a looooong time to think about what I want to do for the next chapter in my life.
For now, I'm reading up on the trail as much as I possibly can. I'm trying to budget and stash away money. Soon I'll be buying gear and testing it out. I'm conditioning my legs for the long walk ahead. At the same time, I'll be tying up all the lose ends in Japan. There will be many goodbyes to be had. I'm not worried about my adventure, just anxious.

Landlord's plans to turn SNF into condos led to residents' deaths, lawsuit claims
An embattled New York nursing home operator is facing a lawsuit that claims its "fraudulent" pattern of purchasing nursing homes with the intent to flip them into condominiums led to some residents' premature deaths.
The suit, filed last week by CABS Nursing Home Company, Inc., details the sale of the Brooklyn facility to the Allure Group in 2015. The complaint claims that Allure was won its bid to buy the facility after representing that they would "turn the financial future of the nursing home around" and that "nothing would change."
Less than two months after the sale was finalized, Allure and the facility's newly hired administrator began moving patients out of the facility under a series of "ever-changing excuses," including moving Medicaid residents to make room for higher-paying ones, and building a new therapy center for the facility, according to the complaint.
"In October 2015, the truth emerged through the press," the lawsuit reads. "Contractors working for Allure had filed a permit to demolish the nursing home ... and filed a permit to build a new luxury condo building a few weeks later."
The facility's suit argues that moving the residents "forced them from the only home that many of them had known for years … with the effect that some of them died prematurely." CABS is seeking rescission and nullification of the sale of the facility, as well as damages.
Allure has made headlines for similar nursing home "flips" in the past — including one instance investigated by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman — but CABS' suit is believed to be the first brought against the company by a purchased property, according to the New York Law Journal.
"Indeed, it has become clear that it has become (or has always been) Allure's primary purpose and goal to obtain nursing homes at reduced prices by promising that they will continue to operate them, only to turn around and sell the properties to developers at a massive profit as soon as the dust settles," the complaint reads.

Taos Health Systems and the Northern New Mexico Birth Center (NNMBC) are pleased to announce pregnant women will continue to have the option of delivering their babies at the birth center.
The plan is to move Women's Health Institute into the Birth Center to allow the Certified Nurse Midwives the ability to deliver in the birthing rooms.
The Midwives and Board of NNMBC and have been dreaming and envisioning a future for the Birth Center that includes CNMs with a viable business model for years. As a result of multiple productive brainstorming sessions between Taos Health Systems and the Northern New Mexico Birth Center it has been decided that Women's Health Institute will be moving their clinic into the former NNMBC building and beginning a Birth Center accredited by Commission for Accreditation of Birth Centers (CABC). This ensures that The Women's Health Institute Birth Center will uphold the nationally recognized Midwives Model of Care for freestanding birth centers.
"We are deeply grateful to the care providers of WHI, administration and Board of Taos Health Systems," said Kiersten Figurski, LM, CPM, Joan Norris, LM, CPM, and the NNMBC Board of Directors, "for ensuring the continued option of Birth Center birth for the families in Northern New Mexico. This is history in the making!"
"We're really excited about this decision because it means women still have options to deliver at the Birth Center. We have two Certified Nurse Midwives already offering holistic approaches to birthing mothers, at Women's Health Institute," says Michael Bone, Executive Director of the Taos Health Systems Practices. "They currently deliver at the hospital's birthing suites; however, now they can deliver at the Birth Center. It would also allow the CNMs to incorporate more integrated and complimentary therapies into the pregnancy and birth."
Choosing the right provider to deliver babies depends on a number of factors, including what kind of experience wanted, where to give birth, whether the pregnancy is normal or high risk, and what insurances will pay for.
The American Association of Birth Centers defines a birth center as "a homelike facility, existing within a healthcare system with a program of care designed in the wellness model of pregnancy and birth. Birth centers are guided by principles of prevention, sensitivity, safety, appropriate medical intervention, and cost effectiveness. Birth centers provide family-centered care for healthy women before, during and after normal pregnancy, labor and birth."
Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) are advanced-practice registered nurses who provide counseling and care during pre-conception, pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. They're holistic practitioners who can offer a variety of options and seeks to eliminate or minimize unnecessary interventions. They are a vital part of the health care team at Women's Health Institute and work closely with the OB/GYNs.
In addition to the care they give patients before, during, and after pregnancy and childbirth, CNMs provide routine gynecological services – including reproductive health visits, regular gynecologic care (i.e., annual exams) and peri-/post-menopausal care.

"My case for free trade rests more in the wish that Bangladesh keeps its head above the water, than in the hope of a new South Korea"His main point is that a large share of the recent rise in inequality in the I and III Worlds is due to globalisation. (During question time, Danny Quah remembered that, although inequality has risen within countries, the world became more equal. Krugman did not reply to this point).
I would prefer to listen to him talking about economic geography, nevertheless I will keep my ticket to the lecture as memorabilia.
UPDATE: this article summarizes the main points of his lecture.

Is the new M5 (F10) sporty enough? (M5 vs. M3)

I agree the panamera is nice (I spent 2 weeks driving through Germany/Switzerland in a S). The interior is very nice, but it is very expensive for the relatively low level of performance you get with the S and going to the turbo or even GTS is a big price jump. Although it was nice at first I quickly got bored with the PDK and was wishing for a manual. The panamera drove smaller than the F10, but still certainly didn't feel small.
Right now the front runner for me is a 991 S. It is a significantly different car from the 997. It has an excellent interior with all the features you'd ever want, feels much more roomy and comfortable than the 997 while being lighter, still has amazing performance with an NA engine and manual trans, sounds great and gets much better mpg. Not wanting to go turbo or auto trans or bigger car there really isn't much else out there that I would give up the E90 for.
If outright sportiness is what u are after, then the F10 M5 is definitely a wrong choice even though i won't say your 550 test drive was a good indicator. The F10 M5 doesn't feel heavy under most driving condition, but its size becomes apparent in tight places. I test drove the 991 C2S and din like it enough over my E92 M3. The sound and interior ergonomics was to me, not up to scratch compared to my M3. I was very disappointed with the C2S as i had high hopes for it before the drive. Having owned the current M3, it gets that much tougher to find a replacement for it. M really have their work cut out for them in the next M3.

I love the color, this is my absolute favorite for the the transition into fall. However, even with a base coat, 3 applications of polish (it is a bit thin and streaky) and a topcoat, it still chipped quickly, I would expect more from a $7+ bottle of polish. I will definitely shop for a dupe and try another brand, hopefully Revlon has a copycat color as over the last 30 years of doing my own nails, Revlon is still my favorite polish for color saturation, wearability, and price point (if on sale). Anyone know of a tried and true dupe?

I can't believe i haven't reviewed this yet. It is one of the few bottles of nail polish that I finished totally and went back for another bottle. It is one of my favorite colors against my medium olive skin. It's somewhere in the greige family but with a hint of mocha. I have to be so careful with those colors as they can wash me out but this one really enhances my complexion. In the summer, neutral manicure shades like pale pink, nude and whitish can look a little more contrasty on me. This has the same sort of neutrality and sophistication to it, but is much more flattering on me. I have not found any dupes for this and if they ever discontinue it, I'm buying all the bottles I can find. It is one of my top 3 favorite colors of all time.

I've had this color for years, but never really wore it, but decided to give it a go after trying "Sand Tropez" and not liking it at all (with my skin tone). This is a great purple grey. I didn't think I'd like it - but once applied, I loved it. I do not think that the Essie site description is correct - I wouldn't call this a granite gray at all - def. has purple tones. Even my boyfriend thought so.
Only downside - it took a full 3 coats to get a decent full coverage opacity. After two coats on my two index fingers, you could still see streaks and some nail peeking through - this was even with a base coat, and one nude coat underneath! Three coats worked great - and then I topped it with a shine coat. Unfortunately, I have a tiny chip on one index nail already - and it's hasn't even been 24 hours. :(
I'm rough with my hands/nails, so it takes a LOT for a nail polish to not chip. However, I love the color and the rest of the nails are holding up, so I may just touch up the spot and see how it does for a full week. Love the color though. FYI- Mochacino is Chinchilly with glitter.

Glad I finally decided to buy this color! Not sure what took me so long. I tested a bunch of gray/grayish Essie polishes at Walgreens last night and ended up not buying any of them bc I couldn't decide. I had a different color on each finger and when I looked at the colors with fresh eyes this morning, chichilly was by far my favorite. I just used it on my fingers and toes and can't stop staring at it. Loooove this color!

I love Chinchilly! It is a beautiful cool toned greige, more grey than your standard taupe colour. It applies evenly and easily, opaque in two coats and has excellent staying power. It dries quickly and is very chip resistant, like most of my other Essie polishes. This is a very chic colour which is ideal in Autumn but can be worn all year round with the right outfit. It is a classy colour which I also think would be work appropriate. A lovely colour and a great formula, what more do you want?! This is a cult shade and I can definitely see why, and I would recommend that others try it.

Chinchilly is a beautiful medium purple-toned greige shade on me. Unfortunately, I can't give this shade a 5 because the formula isn't up to par with my expectation of Essie polishes. The one real flaw? Sheer and streaky. It takes 3 fuller coverage coats to even it out, and I don't really care for that. I'm looking for 2 coats and done. However, that said, I adore the color at 3 coats, and beyond that, it performs like a typical Essie polish. I use Orly Bonder and Out the Door topcoat, and I can get 4-5 days before it chips which is amazing since I'm a mom and constantly washing my hands.

A very pretty soft gray tone. It has really great coverage with one coat, but I use two. It lasts the same as other polishes.

Well I'am trying this out for the first time. I don't think the whole greige thing works well on my skin but this had great reviews. I tried master plan but pulled way too beige on me... Looked horrible so I will let you know how this works out. I do tend too look better in bright or dark (vampy) but trying to find a color that can take the transition into fall. Well luv it!!! I got so many compliments in this. A strange grey color with a hint on purple. I got lots if compliments. Will wear this into fall!! This is a cult color for a reason!!! Possibly one of the greatest grey polishes out there and trust me i know! I have been doing my nails 3 x a week for over 20 years and have over 300 polished from Essie, OPI to Chanel and Mac! This one is a keeper and a buy a back up one!!!!

This is one of my favourites, and go-to polishes, from my stash of 225-250 regular polishes. When I am being indecisive about what to put on and am stuck on having too many choices, I pull out the Chinchilly! I am very pale (but with warmer undertones) and so many gray/grieges can look a little dead on me, but this has a beautiful lavender tint to it that keeps it warm and lovely. I have a few "similar" polish colours but this one is just something special. On my skin it definitely does pull more of the purple, but not so much it actually looks purple rather than gray.
While it does speak more fall/winter, in that it reminds me of cozy sweaters or something, I don't care and wear it year round as I think it is light enough to pull off. It is a great neutral that can take me from work to play. Not sure how to explain it, but it seems like a very classy colour, and makes even this rather casual woman feel more sophisticated (at least when it comes to my hands!) :)
Formula is good. Easy to work with and does not pool unless you overload the brush (the Essie brush of course is a love/hate with people so judge for yourself, I like the control I get with it, but do like wider brushes in general). It goes on a bit streaky but self-levels REALLY well...I always think the last coat looks too streaky and somehow a couple of minutes into drying it looks perfectly even and glossy. I usually do 3 coats to ensure bald spots are covered and get more depth in the colour. I wear it over clear gel/acrgel base & top, with a RNP base coat and RNP top coat, and easily get one week of wear, and it is one of the few polishes I enjoy so much I don't WANT to take it off after 2-3 days!
I would buy again, and again, and again. I am glad it is part of Essie's core line!
