Tampa, FL Area Scholarships
Tampa (pronunciation: /?tæmp?/) is a city in the U.S. state of Florida. It serves as the county seat for Hillsborough County and is located on the west coast of Florida, on Tampa Bay near the Gulf of Mexico. The population of Tampa in 2011 was 346,037.
The current location of Tampa was once inhabited by indigenous peoples of the Safety Harbor culture, most notably the Tocobaga and the Pohoy, who lived along the shores of Tampa Bay. It was briefly explored by Spanish explorers in the early 16th century, but there were no permanent American or European settlements within today's city limits until after the United States had acquired Florida from Spain in 1819.
In 1824, the United States Army established a frontier outpost called Fort Brooke at the mouth of the Hillsborough River, near the site of today's Tampa Convention Center. The first civilian residents were pioneers who settled near the fort for protection from the nearby Seminole population. The town grew slowly until the 1880s, when railroad links, the discovery of phosphate, and the arrival of the cigar industry jump-started Tampa's development and helped it to grow into an important city by the early 1900s.
Today, Tampa is a part of the metropolitan area most commonly referred to as the Tampa Bay Area. For U.S. Census purposes, Tampa is part of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area. The four-county area is composed of roughly 2.7 million residents, making it the second largest metropolitan statistical area (MSA) in the state, and the fourth largest in the Southeastern United States, behind Miami, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta. The Greater Tampa Bay area has just over 4 million residents and generally includes the Tampa and Sarasota metro areas. The Tampa Bay Partnership and U.S. Census data showed an average annual growth of 2.47 percent, or a gain of approximately 97,000 residents per year. Between 2000 and 2006, the Greater Tampa Bay Market experienced a combined growth rate of 14.8 percent, growing from 3.4 million to 3.9 million and hitting the 4 million people mark on April 1, 2007. A 2012 estimate shows the Tampa Bay area population to have 4,310,524 people and a 2017 projection of 4,536,854 people.
Tampa has a number of sports teams, such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League, the Tampa Bay Lightning of the National Hockey League, and the Tampa Bay Storm of the Arena Football League. The Tampa Bay Rays in Major League Baseball and the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the North American Soccer League play their home games in neighboring St. Petersburg, Florida.
In 2008, Tampa was ranked as the 5th best outdoor city by Forbes. A 2004 survey by the NYU newspaper Washington Square News ranked Tampa as a top city for "twenty-somethings." Tampa is now ranked as a "Gamma" world city by Loughborough University. According to Loughborough, Tampa ranks alongside other world cities such as Phoenix, Santo Domingo, and Osaka. In recent years, Tampa has seen a notable upsurge in high-market demand from consumers, signaling more wealth concentrated in the area. Tampa hosted the 2012 Republican National Convention.

Landmark Agreement Addresses 'Right to Repair' for Commercial Vehicles
Article credit to Deborah Lockridge on TruckingInfo
Owners of heavily computerized commercial vehicles can finally rest.
The aftermarket repair industry and truck and engine makers have reached an agreement on the sharing of heavy-duty vehicle service information, which will give truck owners more options for diagnosing and repairing today's heavily computerized commercial vehicles.
The Commercial Vehicle Solutions Network and the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association, together with the Equipment and Tool Institute, the Auto Care Association, and Heavy Duty Aftermarket Canada, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding addressing the availability of service information for model year 2010 and later trucks and buses over 10,000 pounds sold in the United States and Canada.
The landmark agreement will ensure that vehicle owners and independent repair facilities have access to the OEM-controlled service information, tools, and parts that they need to safely and properly repair commercial vehicles. The MOU also…Rest of article

First Post!
Discharged 11/13, did a lot of attempted clean up and things are looking up! Yesterday my EQ was 635 (haven't ran the others yet), and, for the first time in my life, my DTI is great! Trying to follow the plan and got approved for an unsecured credit one card yesterday and will be doing the small monthly purchase/payoff before statement thing.
I had a small student loan (1K) that I didn't realize was maturing and Sallie Mae (AKA the devil) would not work with me AT ALL, and I didn't want it to hit my credit. I went to my CU and applied for a personal loan in that amount and was approved (
21.9 20.25% interest for 12 months, no PP penalty) and they are paying off Sallie Mae.
I plan on paying the CU loan off within 6-8 weeks, probably in two 500.00 payments, because that interest is insane, but do I hurt myself in any way by paying it off quickly? Is there a strategy to getting the most positive credit impact with this line of credit? How does paying off early vs. say 3-4 months look to the CU in case I wanted to get a car loan or something later on?
IMO one should keep this type of loan open at least 6 months to get best results in eyes of future lenders. I would just pay the principle down to the point where it will pay out after the 6th payment, this will minimize the interest on the loan.

On December 23, 2016 the world championships in Madagascar were streamed on a French TV channel, La chaîne l'Équipe. But if you are in the USA, and went to that web site to watch the championships, you saw a message saying that the channel is what is generally known as "region restricted". You can see the message now if you wish— just click on this link to www.lequipe.fr/lachainelequipe.
I won't go into the technology behind how region restriction works, or the several ways to get around region restrictions. If you're interested in that, you can Google for that information.
Here I will describe the fairly simple and easy tool that I used, that allowed me to watch the championships. It is a product/service called TunnelBear. TunnelBear is a highly-rated VPN provider, and it worked well for me. Here's how you can do what I did.
- Get the Chrome web browser. It is a good, fast browser, and it is free. It can be downloaded from Google's web site.
- Open the Chrome browser. Go to the TunnelBear web site and navigate to the DOWNLOAD page.
- On the DOWNLOAD page, scroll down until you see "Browser Extensions".
- Download and install the TunnelBear extension for Chrome.
- The download comes with 500Mb of free data. That's enough to watch several minutes of video and to make sure the browser extension is working, but it is not enough to watch an entire petanque game. I signed up with the TunnelBear service for a monthly subscription, which comes with unlimited data, at a cost of about $8 per month. That was enough to allow me to watch all 8 hours of the world championships. (You can also get the TunnelBear service for a much lower cost with a yearly subscription.)
- After you have watched the championships, assuming that you have no other use for TunnelBear, remember to go back to the TunnelBear web site and cancel your monthly subscription. (Technically, the way you cancel a monthly subscription is to downgrade it to a free subscription.) The cancel/downgrade process is quick and easy. If you don't cancel/downgrade, your monthly subscription will remain in effect and TunnelBear will continue charging your credit card every month.
If you stream French TV, you need to be aware of time differences between France and the USA. Right now, where I live, we are on Mountain Standard time, which means that we are 8 hours ahead of French time. The French broadcast started at 1600h (4pm), which means that it started at 800h (8am) our local time. Depending on your time zone and whether or not you are on daylight-savings time, your time will vary.

It's a fear his family say they didn't know until he tried to take his life.
Maria Dolores Deleg says it breaks her heart to watch this video of her 13-year-old trying to defend himself against a pack of bullies on his way home from school.
One teen fist fights him on the street while another records the assault in front of a group of classmates.
Deleg says they even posted the video online.
Deleg tells WABC-TV, our sister station in New York, that she feels an overwhelming grief and regrets bringing her son to Newark from Ecuador in August.
Esteban now admits the bullying started just two weeks after he started at Lafayette Street School.
The fight in the video happened in mid December, but It wasn't until mid January that she learned what was going on.
That's when the eighth grader tried to commit suicide by taking a load of pills, putting him in the hospital for nearly a month.
Mrs. Deleg wants the student to come forward.
The Newark School District is looking for all the students responsible and will discipline each for their involvement.
But Esteban says regardless of the outcome he won't go back to the same school.

The Samsung Galaxy S III launch on Verizon is a mess, simple as that.
While other carriers have had their difficulties getting the Samsung Galaxy S III to shelves here in the United States, none of them have botched the launch of the device as bad as Verizon has for its customers.
And given its track record with the HTC ThunderBolt, Samsung Droid Charge, Motorola Droid Bionic and HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE, this should come as no surprise.
Before Verizon even announced that it would be carrying the Samsung Galaxy S III there were signs of trouble and now, just as the phone is supposed to arrive on Verizon's 4G LTE network, the mess that is the Galaxy S III launch has gotten even worse.
Launched After Shared Data Went Into Effect
When Samsung announced that the phone would be launching in the U.S. in June, we smelled trouble. That's because June was the month that Verizon was going to be launching its Shared Everything data plans effectively killing unlimited data.
So, instead of launching the phone in the middle of June like a T-Mobile or a Sprint, Verizon decided to launch the phone in July. Maybe it had to do with supply issues, maybe it had to do with a planned schedule, who knows. Either way, the launch forces those who couldn't or didn't want to pre-order the device into getting a Shared Data plan.
Read: Everything You Need to Know About Verizon Share Everything Plans.
No good for those who wanted to keep an unlimited data plan and pay a subsidized price and no good for those that don't like the shared data plans that Verizon is offering.
Unclear Release Date
Verizon also decided to keep its Galaxy S III release date a secret up until last week leaving customers in the dark as to when the device would be hitting shelves. Unlike the other carriers which were in direct communication with interested Galaxy S III customers, Verizon remained mum on the subject.
The carrier even remained silent as the shipping dates on pre-orders kept moving backwards.
With the Galaxy S III launch being as big as it is, one would think that Verizon would have kept its customers in the loop as far as a probable release date was concerned.
Pre-Orders Delayed
Unfortunately, we sit a day out from the launch of the Galaxy S III and the release date of the device remains unclear, at least for some of those that pre-ordered and those looking to snag it online.
It would appear that some pre-orders shipping dates have moved to July 19th for unknown reasons. The shipping dates on Verizon's website also indicated that the carrier is expecting to ship the Galaxy S III out by July 19th.
This shouldn't affect in-store sales tomorrow but those looking to snag it online should be weary.
It doesn't help that Verizon hasn't said a word about the July 19th date.
Locked Bootloader
And then, last but not least, owners of Verizon's Galaxy S III were welcomed with a locked bootloader. While all other versions of the device have launched with an unlocked bootloader, something that allows owners to fully customize their device, Verizon's Galaxy S III has a locked bootloader.
According to a statement Verizon gave to The Verge, this was a necessary move:
Verizon Wireless has established a standard of excellence in customer experience with our branded devices and customer service. There is an expectation that if a customer has a question, they can call Verizon Wireless for answers that help them maximize their enjoyment and use of their wireless phone. Depending on the device, an open boot loader could prevent Verizon Wireless from providing the same level of customer experience and support because it would allow users to change the phone or otherwise modify the software and, potentially, negatively impact how the phone connects with the network. The addition of unapproved software could also negatively impact the wireless experience for other customers. It is always a delicate balance for any company to manage the technology choices we make for our branded devices and the requests of a few who may want a different device experience. We always review our technology choices to ensure that we provide the best solution for as many customers as possible.
This should have been expected considering how tightly Verizon regulates its devices but it's certainly not something that Verizon Galaxy S III owners wanted to find out, especially after learning that the device did not come with an encrypted bootloader on carriers like AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile.
Hopefully, sometime down the road, Verizon gets wise and decides to unlock it. Until then though, its device is at a severe disadvantage.

Belmont House - Historical Houses
Distance 3.12 miles (4.99 km)
The unique Georgian house of Belmont, set in beautiful gardens and surrounded by classical English country parkland, commands stunning views of the rolling Kent countryside. It is a completely unspoilt and distinctive example of the work of architect Samuel Wyatt. Whilst the house and gardens evolved over the years, it remained the seat of successive Lords Harris from 1801 until the Sixth Lord's death in 1995. The Harris family played a significant role in British expansion overseas during the 19th century. Belmont contains fabulous mementoes of the family's history and travels - fine paintings, furniture, Indian silverware and the finest collection of clocks in private hands in the country; a collection assembled by the 5th Lord.

Christians Meeting in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ
As a local expression of the body of Christ, our purpose is to glorify God by pointing to the Lord Jesus Christ. We pray that the information you find here will lead you to "know Him who is true and to be in Him who is true, even in His Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life" - I John 5:20
4180 Monroe Street Dearborn Heights, MI 48125
(313) 277-9152
Meeting Times
Breaking of Bread 9:30 - 10:30
Sunday School 11:15 - 12:15
Family Bible Hour 11:15 - 12:15
Evening Service 6:00 - 7:00
Prayer / Bible Study 6:30 - 7:30
How is Dearborn Chapel similar to other Bible believing Christian Churches? We are a group of "born again" believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. We come together to worship God and our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. We come together to "Break Bread;" have communion. We also come together to learn what God wants from us and to encourage each other. We come together to preach the Gospel so that others can have the opportunity to trust the Lord Jesus Christ and be "born again" and be ready to meet with the Holy God.
While not unique to Dearborn Chapel, there are teachings we believe are Scriptural but are not followed by all Bible believing Christian churches. One is the primary importance of the Lord's Supper. Acts 2:42, 20:7 Another is how the Holy Spirit governs the assembly through elders, not a hired pastor. John 10:1-18, esp. 12-13. Titus 1:5-9. Acts 14:23. 20:17. James 5:14 I Peter5:15 Another is the head covering for women. This symbolizes that the Church is subject to her head, Christ. It also symbolizes that the Glory of God is on display in the Church and not the glory of man or woman. ICor. 11:1-16 We do not recognize Christian titles. Such as DD or Father or Pastor. Matthew 23 Another, and of primary importance, we gather in the name and to the person of the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Any other name would be worse than superfluous. Matthew 18:20 I Corinthians 1-3 expecially 1:1-13, 3:21-23
Jesus said to her "I am the resurrection and the life. He that believes on me, though he may die, yet shall he live.
And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"
~ John 11:25-26
And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"
~ John 11:25-26

A newsweek article, blasted Angelina Jolie for what the author called uncombed hair. The article insisted that the Jolie-Pitt family knew nothing about black hair care, nor did they seem to care. However, the accompanying photograph showed a head full of healthy looking curls. A more recent Jezebel article agrees that the child's hair looks very healthy looking, and the photo on that article shows the child with well groomed hair.

Dunne gives Lambert boost as defender set to return to Villa training after five months out
23:57 GMT, 5 November 2012
Central defender Richard Dunne has given injury-hit Aston Villa a boost by returning to training after five months out of action with a groin problem.
The Republic of Ireland international initially suffered the setback during Euro 2012.
Dunne has undergone two operations to try and resolve the groin injury and has finally received the green light to step up his fitness work.
Return: Richard Dunne is ready to return to training for Aston Villa
But Villa boss Paul Lambert is unsure when Dunne, signed from Manchester City in a 6 million deal four years ago, will be ready for a first team recall.
He said: 'Richard is back in training and it's his first time since the European Championships really.
'Will he be back soon I'm not sure really because he's got to get up to speed with training and get some games under his belt.
'He's still a wee bit away.'
Dunne has endured a nightmare time with injuries during 2012 and missed the final three months of last season with a broken shoulder.
But he insisted: 'The last operation I had seems to have really worked.
'I've been lucky not to have too many injuries during my career but it's been several months where I've not been fit.'
Layoff: Dunne spent five months on the sidelines with a groin injury
Boost: Paul Lambert (left) will have more defensive options when the former Manchester City defender returns

Welcome to my website of creative writing.
A sudden change of course in my life is working out nicely as I adjust from all consuming government and political work to the more relaxed life of leisure and volunteering.
I am enjoying reconnecting with people who have been in my life a long time, but with whom I haven't had a lot of my personal time during my working years.
Humanity is interesting and sometimes I like to draw parallels between actual human behaviours and how those behaviours are depicted in other mediums like cartoons. Hence, I give you Yosemite Sam and some of his friends in the Commentary section of my site. The Fiction section also gives you an overview of transitioning from a demanding full time job to a previously ignored personal development project!
Also, since I have more time on my hands these days, I am including a rather long short story about the daunting life of the overpowering personality of Jealous Jean, a cultest, obsessed with control and stopping at nothing to have things her way, at the peril of a mentally ill and vulnerable fellow human being, and with no regard for the feelings of others. The story combines life-like experiences with a few perplexing outcomes, leaving the reader mezmorized and perhaps even perplexed as well.
I hope this new content and the other contents of my website will be entertaining
to everyone who drops by!

SALT LAKE CITY — Hunter Hansen is only 11 years old, but she knows a lot about life's challenges.
For nearly a year, the girl from Sandy has bravely fought small cell ovarian cancer, a disease Primary Children's Hospital hasn't seen in a child in more than 20 years.
While she is still going through treatments, Hunter wants to help other children dealing with illness at the hospital with a special fundraiser.
She puts on a brave face and smiles a lot, but she's exhausted.
"I'm tired. My hair is growing back in, so that's why my head hurts," Hunter said with a laugh.
She can't scratch her head, so she is using a washcloth to calm the itch.
In February, Hunter complained of pain in her right side. It was there off and on for about three or four weeks. Then one night it got so bad that her parents rushed her to the hospital.
"(I) pushed on it a little bit, and she jumped off the couch almost," said her father, August Salvadori, "so I was like, that is definitely a sign of appendicitis."
At the emergency room, doctors told Salvadori that tests didn't show that Hunter had appendicitis, but her reactions to pain and location of the pain indicated she did.
She had surgery at 5 a.m. The surgeon told her parents the procedure would last 30 to 45 minutes, but he didn't come out of the operating room for two hours. When he came out, he showed them what he found.
"It wasn't (appendicitis)," Hunter said with a chuckle. "It was a 5-pound tumor on my ovaries."
"He had one of the little petri dishes with the tumor in it, and it was literally as big as my fist," Salvadori said.
Hunter was diagnosed with small cell ovarian cancer.
"This particular type of tumor is a carcinoma, and carcinomas are exceedingly rare in children," said Dr. Mark Fluchel, a pediatric oncologist at Primary Children's Hospital. "This is a very aggressive tumor, and it requires quite a bit of chemotherapy."
Doctors are fighting her cancer aggressively. Hunter had chemotherapy up until June. They took time to recover in July, and then she was in the hospital in August for a bone marrow transplant.
On Thursday, Hunter finished her 14th round of radiation. She has 13 treatments left and will then have low-dose chemotherapy every three weeks for three years, her father said.
"Our ability to give really intense doses of chemotherapy with stem cell transplant has improved the prognosis quite a bit," Fluchel said.
Doctors also had to remove her female organs.
Hunter still has treatments ahead of her, but that isn't stopping her from helping others.
Her family has started "Hunter's Gamers" on the website Extra Life. People sign up to play games for 25 hours and people sponsor them. All proceeds will go to Primary Children's Hospital. The fun begins at 8 a.m. Nov. 2 and runs through 8 a.m. Nov. 3. The family's goal is to raise at least $300.
"People should help so kids can get well faster," Hunter said.

Stories and Data behind the scores
To see all the stories and research data behind the ratings you'll need to be a subscriber.
As our ratings and research are constantly updated, it is possible that brand ratings on the score table may have changed since this report was written or brands may no longer appear.
We recommend that you buy a second-hand or refurbished phone, wherever possible, to reduce your environmental impact.
For new smartphones, and if you want to support a social enterprise aiming to challenge and transform the industry, the stand-out Best Buy is Fairphone 2.
You can buy one outright or get a contract from Best Buy mobile network operator, Phone Co-op.
For a more basic or 'feature' phone, there are only four brands to choose from – Alcatel, Doro, Samsung, Nokia – and the choice is much more difficult.
We recommend Doro, which score relatively well by avoiding free-trade lobby groups, paying excessive amounts of money to its Directors and 'likely use of tax avoidance strategies'. It does, however score worst for conflict minerals and toxic chemicals.
Doro specialises in easy-to-use phones.
Ethical issues in the Electronics Industry
A recent survey showed that 81% of adults in the UK now own a smartphone, rising to 90% of 18-24 year olds.[1]
One in three UK adults and half of 18-24 year olds check their phones in the middle of the night, disrupting their sleep patterns.[1] More than half of owners reach for their smartphone within a quarter of an hour of waking.
In just nine years since the launch of the first full touchscreen smartphone, it looks set to become the most successful consumer electronics device of all time. Globally, it's predicted that about 1.5 billion smartphones will go on sale in 2016 – that's more than all PCs, tablets, televisions and games consoles put together.[2]
With growth this fast, ethics can get left behind. The electronics industry is notorious for low wages, excessive overtime, exploitation of migrant and student workers, and crucially, a lack of the 'freedom of association' workers need to be able to improve their conditions. There are also multiple issues around mining for materials used; hazardous chemicals leading to deadly health problems and pollution; electronic waste and energy use. The speed at which the phone market has grown, and the culture of frequent upgrades, just increases the strain.
Samsung and Apple dominate the smartphone market, accounting for over three fifths (62%) of owners. Apple is more popular with 16-24 year olds and the higher income bracket whilst Samsung owners tend to be less well-off and aged 35-54.
Microsoft bought Nokia's mobile business in April 2014, but rebranded the smartphones as Microsoft Lumia.
The iconic Nokia brand is still used by Microsoft on Nokia feature phones. However, in May 2016, Microsoft announced the sale of the Nokia-branded feature phones to a division of the controversial electronics manufacturer Foxconn, and HMD global, a new company in Finland made up of veteran Nokia staff. We will update the Nokia brand with its new ownership once the phones become available.
The Moto brand has now been bought by the computer manufacturer Lenovo, giving it a foothold in the market. Even Amazon experimented with its own smartphone, but it disappeared soon after appearing in 2014.
Feature phones are a cheaper alternative to smartphones and have more limited capabilities. Feature phones typically provide voice calling and text messaging functions, in addition to basic multimedia and internet capabilities. Because they have less functions, they consume less energy.
Smartphones let you do a lot more than feature phones. They have full internet access, so are great for checking the news or your emails and even watching movies while you're out and about. You can download 'apps' (computer programs) for all sorts of things like booking train tickets, internet banking, and social media. Basically everything you could do on a home computer or laptop, but more mobile. But the more a phone does, the more energy it consumes, hence the ongoing need to regularly recharge your smartphone battery.
If all you really want from your mobile is a cheap phone to make calls, send texts and have a long-lasting battery, a feature phone is for you. They're really easy to use and don't come with loads of extra features that you might be unlikely to use. Alcatel, Doro, Samsung and Nokia all make feature phones.
A smartphone is about 40% metals, 40% plastics and 20% ceramics and resin. As well as the 'conflict minerals' tungsten, tin, tantalum and gold, phones also contain: silver, nickel and lead in the circuit board; cobalt, zinc and copper in the battery; as well as arsenic, chromium and selenium, all of which can leak during production and disposal. Unless recycled metals are used, they must all be mined, and this can mean communities are displaced, biodiversity destroyed, and vast amounts of water and fossil fuels are used for processing and extraction.
What's more, in January 2016, Amnesty has accused Apple, Samsung and Sony, and 13 other companies, of failing to do basic checks to ensure cobalt used in lithium-ion batteries is not mined by children in the Congo.[3] See our feature on Cobalt Mining for more information.
We have rated all the phone companies for their policies on conflict minerals. See below.
Only Fairphone got a best Ethical Consumer rating for its supply chain management, having demonstrated a core commitment to improving workers' rights. Just three companies (Apple, ZTE and Microsoft) got a middle rating. The rest got a 'worst' rating. Some companies didn't even publish a supply chain policy for workers' rights (Archos, Doro, TCL and Huawei).
Of those who had a policy, key clauses on child labour and/or working hours were inadequate. Two companies did not specify a minimum age for workers (LG and HTC), and one company (ZTE) did not specify an upper limit to working hours. Ethical Consumer expected a company to clearly state that a maximum working week constitutes 48 hours plus 12 hours' overtime. Google and Amazon, along with five companies whose supply chain policy was based on the industry-led Electronics Industry Citizen Coalition (EICC) Code of Conduct (Acer, Lenovo, Sony, BlackBerry and Samsung), only limited the working week to 60 hours, rather than 48 hours before overtime.
The mobile phone market has faced quite a lot of scrutiny from civil society over its use of conflict minerals. Fairphone has tried to drive change in this respect with its mission to make a phone without including human rights abuses. Fairphone is therefore involved in several multi-stakeholder initiatives which aim to develop and support the trade of conflict-free minerals.
Fairphone's website provides a breakdown of each of the conflict minerals and the work it has done to support 'conflict-free' mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and to source conflict-free minerals.
As US publicly-listed companies, six of the big brands in this market have to submit reports under the Dodd-Frank Act and subsequently score well in our ratings. Although Lenovo, Acer and LG don't have to report, they still have a conflict minerals policy which commits them to continue sourcing from the DRC and they have well-developed policies covering 'due diligence' and releasing lists of their smelters and/or refiners (SORs).
Disappointingly the mobile phone market also contains companies which have failed to even acknowledge or report on the issue: Archos and TCL.
Samsung also failed to score highly because it does not explicitly state that it will continue to support trade in the DRC.
Conflict minerals ratings:
See our feature on conflict minerals for more information.
Three chemicals are often used in electronics and have been highlighted by Greenpeace as the most hazardous – brominated flame retardants (BFRs), PVC and phthalates.
BFRs and PVC are both organohalogens. Some well-known (and very hazardous) examples of organohalogens include PCBs, DDT, and CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) – all of which are now globally banned by the United Nation's Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) treaty.[4]
Toxic chemicals policy ratings
Apple leads the way in the electronics industry having phased out PVC and BFR in its products, including its cables, way back in 2008. Apple products are also free from phthalates. So there is no excuse for other companies not to follow suit.
To get our best rating for a toxic chemicals policy, like Apple, a company must have phased out the use of all three chemicals or have set a date by which it will have done so.
Unfortunately, most companies get our worst rating for having no commitment to totally phasing out all three of these chemicals. Companies who get a worst rating for toxic chemicals could also not get a best rating for Environmental Reporting.
Best toxics rating – Apple, BlackBerry,
Middle toxics rating – Acer, Fairphone, Samsung, LG, Huawei
Worst toxics rating – Microsoft had inadequate policies. Alcatel, Archos, Doro, Google, HTC, ZTE provided no information.
Toxic chemical-free models
We checked all the brands and models that are covered in these guides to see whether any of them were PVC-, BFR- and phthalate-free. Those models that were 'toxic chemical-free', represented by a [S] next to the brand name on the score tables, received a positive mark in the Product Sustainability column. Models that were PVC- and BFR- free received a half point, whilst models that were free of all three chemicals received a whole point.
Out of all the products covered in these guides, the mobile phone sector has been the most progressive in removing these chemicals from products. All the phones of the two market leaders – Samsung and Apple – are PVC, BFR and phthalate-free.
PVC, BFR and phthalate free
All Samsungs, all Apple iPhones, all BlackBerrys, all LG, all Sony phones. Plus Huawei's Mate S & Mate 8 models.
Companies, governments and criminal hackers can tap into smartphones to access personal data, track movements and make assumptions based on behaviour, for marketing purposes, for example.
To avoid it:

Fujitsu is a Japanese company. Its policy ratings are largely poor, but on the positive side, it seems to have quite impressive targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions. In 2013, Greenpeace evaluated global IT companies on their clean energy investment, energy efficiency and political advocacy. Fujitsu was in 4th position (out of 21 companies). In terms of goals for future carbon savings, it was the leading company.
Fujitsu has given £72,500 to UK political candidates since 2014, with the bulk going to the Labour Party. It gave $9,036 to US political candidates in 2016, 95% of which went to the Democrats, and $5,351 of which went to Bernie Saunders. However, somewhat contradictorily, it is also a member of two free-trade lobby groups, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and the World Economic Forum.
The company is a supplier to many military and intelligence organisations, and is one of the top two ICT suppliers to the UK Ministry of Defence.[6]
On finance Fujitsu does not do well. It got our worst rating for the likely use of tax avoidance strategies, and its CEO received the equivalent of £8.5 million in 2015.[7]

Frozen Four Dates and Sites
INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Committee has selected the MCI Center in Washington, D.C. as the site for the 2009 NCAA Men's Frozen Four, Ford Field in Detroit as the host site for 2010, the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, as the 2011 host site and the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Florida as the host site for 2012.
"To be selected as a Frozen Four site from all the outstanding bids presented this year is truly an exceptional accomplishment," said Wayne Dean, chair of the Division I Men's Ice Hockey Committee. "Each selected venue brings something very unique and exciting to the table, something that ensures a great Frozen Four experience for our student athletes, fans, and all those associated with our great tournament."
The U. S. Naval Academy and the Greater Washington Sports Alliance will serve as co-hosts for the 2009 NCAA Frozen Four that will be held April 9-11, at the home of the National Hockey League's (NHL) Washington Capitols. This will mark the first time the event has been held in the nation's capitol. The Central Collegiate Hockey Association and the Detroit Metro Sports Commission will co-host the April 8-10, 2010, event at the home of the National Football League's Detroit Lions. It will mark the first time the event has ever been held in a dome. Detroit has been the host city for five previous Frozen Fours, but none since 1990 when it was held in the Joe Louis Arena.
The 2011 Men's Frozen Four will be hosted by the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities and be played April 7-9, at the home of the NHL's Minnesota Wild. The Xcel Energy Center also hosted the event in 2002 and still holds every Frozen Four attendance mark. The University of Alabama, Huntsville and the Tampa Bay Sports Commission will serve as co-hosts for the competition to be held April 5-7, 2012. It will mark the first time any round of NCAA ice hockey championships competition will be held in the state of Florida. The committee also selected regional sites for all four regions in 2008 and 2009, and the East and Northeast regional sites in 2010 and 2011. The specific dates for each regional have not been determined, but they will encompass March 28-30, 2008; March 27-29, 2009; March 26-28, 2010; and March 25-27, 2011.
In 2008, the East regional will be played at the Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York and will be co-hosted by the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The University of Wisconsin, Madison was selected to host the Midwest regional on campus at the Kohl Center. The Northeast regional will be held at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts, and will be hosted by the College of the Holy Cross, while Colorado College will host the West regional at the World Arena in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
In 2009, the East regional will be co-hosted by Yale University and Fairfield University and will be held at the Bridgeport Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The Midwest regional will be held at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and be co-hosted by the Central Collegiate Hockey Association and Western Michigan University. The University of New Hampshire will host the Northeast regional at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire, and the West regional will be held at Mariucci Arena on the campus of the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
In 2010, the ECAC and Rensselaer will repeat as hosts of the East regional at the Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York, while Holy Cross will once again host the Northeast regional at the DCU Center. In 2011, the East regional will once again be hosted by Yale and Fairfield at the Bridgeport Arena at Harbor Yard, while New Hampshire will host the Northeast regional at the Verizon Wireless Arena for the second time in three years.
"Each year the field of regional bids keeps getting better and better. This year was certainly no exception," Dean said. "It is crucial to the success of the tournament that we offer quality regional sites and experiences, and we feel those selected are second to none."
Previously announced, the 2006 Men's Frozen Four will be held at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, April 6-8, while the 2007 Men's Frozen Four will be held April 5-7, at the Savvis Center in St. Louis, and the 2008 event will be held April 10-12, at the Pepsi Center in Denver.

The following courses will offer special implementations for the Theme Semester. These will be unique opportunities, which may never be repeated.
RCHUMS 481 Looking In, Looking Out: Art and Astronomy (no LSA credit)
University Writing Universe
College Writing
Academic Argumentation
History Colloquium: Galilean Moments in Astronomy
Art in Public Spaces: FestiFools, and Beauty and the Beast
Great Books in Physics
Play Production Seminar: Brecht's Galileo
Of special note are three brand-new courses created expressly for the theme semester:
This course introduces the exciting new field of astrobiology, exploring the origins of life in the Universe. Scientific methods and an overview of star and planet formation are included. The course then explores the origin of life on Earth, focusing on the emergence and diversity of life on our planet. These factors will then be used to explore the question of life in the Solar System now or potentially in the past. We then delve into the exciting search for "extra-solar" planets and their biological potential. Finally, we speculate on the existence of life in the Universe, the possibility of communication with E.T. and, ultimately, travel between the stars. This course is intended for non-science concentrators with a basic high school background. (3 credits, BS, QR/2, NS)
Tour the constellations that are visible this season, and explore topics in both basic and frontier astronomy by examining notable astronomical phenomena associated with these star patterns. This course will also relate mythology linked to the origin of the constellations and discuss celestial cartography. We will typically explore one constellation per lecture, focusing on the nature of astronomical objects of which a prototypical example is found in the featured constellation. There will be two one-hour lectures per week, and one discussion section per week, held in the Angell Hall planetarium. (3 credits, BS, QR/2, NS)
This interdisciplinary course integrates the human story with its terrestrial and cosmic surroundings. The course addresses issues of scale by shifting perspectives in space and time through orders of magnitude; class sessions narrow the picture from galaxy clusters to our own planet. In addition, the course focuses on themes of complexity and connection - showing how the universe has its own history, characterized by the emergence of more complex aggregates of atoms, molecules, and elements. These units grow in complexity as they succeed in extracting ever increasing amounts of energy from their environments. The class then shows how human communities developed, through interregional connections, new ways to share and exploit natural resources. Yet just as stars and galaxies face ultimate collapse, so global human society now confronts a range of resource challenges that are difficult to overcome. (4 credits)
The following event is for Honors Program students:
Timothy Ferris is a leading science writer, filmmaker, and high performance sportscar reviewer. He is an Emeritus Professor at Berkeley, and actually produced the sound recording which was so famously sent into outer space on the Voyager satellite. You can read more about him here: http://www.timothyferris.com/. His latest book "Seeing in the Dark", is an exploration of the world of amateur astronomy, and has been selected as this year's Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Reads program book.
The following seminar is available for a UROP Peer Group:
Offered in conjunction with Watchers of the Sky: Astronomy to the Invention of the Telescope, exhibit of rare and historical documents, February 9-April 11.
Special Collections Library, 7th floor, Hatcher Graduate Library
Wednesday, February 18; 6-7:30 p.m.
Reservation required; space limited to one group. Contact: Peggy Daub, (734) 764-9377.

Two of Amazon's key sites in Germany were the target of fresh walkouts by staff on Thursday in an long-running wage dispute.
The services sector union Verdi has called for full-day stoppages at Amazon's logistics centres in Leipzig and Bad Hersfeld.
Participation was "good," a Verdi spokesman told AFP, without specifying how many employees took part in the strike.
Amazon has a workforce of around 2,000 in Leipzig and 3,300 at Bad Hersfeld.
Amazon has a total of nine sites in Germany and has been regularly hit by walkouts over the past year.
Verdi has been trying for months to get Amazon to bring the pay of its 9,000 workers in Germany in line with wages in the distribution sector.
Amazon refuses, arguing that its distribution centres are logistic sites and that it pays its staff accordingly.
Wages in the logistics sector in Germany are lower than in the distribution sector.

A dormant passion of mine is finding the right paper day planner.
I found it once in a Barnes and Noble in 2006ish. It was slightly larger than a 3×5 card in thick cardstock with a week on each page. It was amazing.
And then it was discontinued.
And so my search continues on. Here are a few runners up:
Whitney English's The Day Designer
Whitnet English's The Day Designer is pretty B-A, if I do say so. It's got super classy colors and design, and a history of reviews that make it seem like it's the ultimate planner. The only thing holding me back is the $60 price tag.
Creatives Outfitter's Action Book
Creatives Outfitter's Action Book looks sharp. (For extra graphic designer awesomeness, check out their Dot Grid Book). I love the minimalist design and layout, and the modern colors you can get.
It's base on the Action Method and relies more on visual spacing than dates and times and things like that. So maybe it doesn't count as a planner and is more of an intense notebook….
Whatever NeuYear Comes Up With
NeuYear has done a sponsored post on Life [Comma] Etc before (and there will be one coming up soon!), but he's also working on a new, awesome paper planner. I can't wait to see what he comes up with!
And finally, it's not a put-in-your-hand planner, but Productive Flourishing offers tons of freelancer planner downloads, and if you're looking for a printable you're very likely to find what you need on that site.

We did not have much get up and go until 10 or so the next day, my birthday, nor did we have any real plans.
I'd read about arts month and discovered that our trip aligned with Art Basel, Rick and Collin were game for an art day, so off we went.
It is rainy in Hong Kong and cold (to me). I broke one of my cardinal travel rules by forgetting a jacket but I did remember an umbrella.
We stumbled into the Tourism Center to browse events and find our bearings and discovered Art Central, a modern and contemporary art fair with Asian flare.
The opening pieces by Art Central sponsor, Swarovski, are sound activated. A group of kids on an explore with school had great fun making the sparkling jelly fish move.
They were here and there through the show. With art, I have this theory: size and materials matter. It seems that extremes of size and materials ruled this show too.
There were paintings whose stiff paint peaks made their own topographies.
Incredible art.
The best story of the day happened at Art Basel. We headed there after Art Central thinking we'd buy tickets on site. The line for the line to get tickets was past the sixty minute mark. People had to queue outside to get a number to stand in the ticket line. Online, advanced purchase tickets were sold out. It looked hopeless, so I said, "let's just wander the hall, have a glass of champagne and see what we can see." So we did and we happened upon the Art Basel Miami booth. We got to talking. The kind man there, whose birthday was March 23rd gave us a VIP pass to the show! Score!
And oh the art... just awesome.

If you follow me on Social Media, you may have seen this post: "Stories are starting to trickle in of the amazing work God is doing in people's hearts as they read The Warrior's Bride." Although I won't share names, I've been given permission to share one such story with you.
One sweet women married to an Army soldier contacted me last Wednesday, telling me that her husband was supposed to be home from deployment the day before. She said, "Still not sure what happened or why the delay, but today is his birthday. Friday we will be trick-or-treating and this Saturday will be the last time the boys play a football game this year. Because of the change, he will be missing all of those important events that we were looking forward to him participating in."
Can't you just picture her disappointment? My heart ached for their family as I remembered times when my children and I had to carry on with big events in our lives without the physical presence of my husband with us.
But her story wasn't done. She continued by telling me what she'd read in The Warrior's Bride.
She said, "Last night I was reading your portion of "The Calling of the Warrior's Bride" [Chapter 6] and I was brought to tears as I was reminded that God brings all things together for good even if I can't see that in the moment. I was so focused on being pouty pants about my circumstances that I was forgetting to celebrate the joy and the fact that my husband is coming home at all. The words that God provided you were in perfect timing and I needed to read them last night. Thankfully, [my husband] will be home this Saturday night. After prayer last night and repentance, I woke up this morning deciding to change my stinking thinking."
What a wonderful moment as this bride remembered that her marriage was something to be celebrated. Her husband longed to get home to her, and she and their boys anxiously awaited his arrival. Yes, everyone would have to wait a few extra days, and yes, big events would be missed, but he was coming home. That is definitely a blessing.
What blessing stands before you right now that you've been blind to or neglectful in thanking God for?

The Cops Went to Charlie Sheen's House, But It Turned Out Everything Was Cool
False alarm, folks.
Last night, after an anonymous person placed a call to the LAPD alleging that Charlie Sheen was threatening to injure himself with a gun, the cops rolled up — and found nothing but, of course, a rifle from the 1800s. Brooke Mueller's restraining order is supposed to prevent Sheen from possessing weapons, but maybe ancient artifact ones are cool? Sheen's tweet-statement on the matter: "#fastball; the LAPD were AWESOME. Absolute pros! they can protect and serve this Warlock anytime!!! c" Being investigated by the police! So fun! [TMZ]

Driver Quotes
Giedo van der Garde: "Hungary's the last race before the summer break, and another chance for us to keep up the momentum we picked back up in Germany. The Hungaroring is a track I've always gone well at – I've won races and had podiums there in GP2 and World Series and now, in F1, it's tight, twisty and a relatively short lap so it's a bit like Monaco without the barriers!
"We obviously had our best quali result of the year so far in Monaco and while I doubt the weather will play its part in Hungary as it did on Saturday in Monaco, the track layout and characteristics are still kind of similar and the length of the lap and the reduced reliance on pure aero performance may help us edge closer to the cars ahead.
"We will continue the aggressive development plan started in Bahrain and have updates again for Hungary and that'll help us, particularly on Sunday. That's the goal for this weekend – have a clean Friday to set us up for both quali and the race, and then see if we can use what we've learned at the Silverstone test to fight on Sunday afternoon."
Charles Pic: "Straight after the Silverstone test we all go to Hungary for race ten. Like my teammate I've always gone well at the Hungaroring and I like the whole place. The city's beautiful, the track is a good challenge, particularly sector two which you need to get right and find the right rhythm and then you can gain a lot of time, and it's nearly always hot there so physical fitness also plays its part.
"It'll be another busy week for the team, coming straight from Silverstone to Hungary, but after that they have a very well deserved rest and a chance to recharge the batteries. For me, I'm at an event with our partner GE on Wednesday, something we've done at a few races this year, and then it's 100% on the race weekend. After the test last week we're as prepared as we can be and if we can pick up where we left off in Germany before we had the puncture, I think we can have a good weekend. I think, from what we learned from Silverstone, the revised tyres should suit us as they behaved consistently over both long and short runs, and the deg levels were more manageable than the compounds we've been using so far this season. "
