as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. see for yourself at botoxcosmetic.com that is going to do it for us tonight. i'll see you again this time tomorrow. "way too early" is up next. the report said i sexually harassed 11 women. that was the headline people heard and saw and reacted to. the reaction was outrage. it should have been. however, it was also false. now, don't get me wrong, this is not to say that there are not 11 women who i truly offended. there are. and for that, i deeply, deeply apologize. new york governor andrew cuomo announces he is stepping down following a bombshell
report alleging sexual harassment. is the flit cat fallout over? plus, after years of attempts the senate has passed a bipartisan bill. the question is when will it actually get to president biden's desk? and amid covid concerns, the academy is taking the event outdoors and the people to that. the question is who makes the cut? it's "way too early" for this. good morning, and welcome to "way too early." the show that thinks that all the nominees are winners. i'm elisa menendez. we'll start with the news. new york governor andrew cuomo is stepping down are the three-term governor is stepping down and will leave his office
in two weeks. it comes as the assembly prepares to leave the month-long impeachment probe from several sexual harassment allegations. >> now, you know me. i'm a new yorker, born and bred. i am a fighter. and my instinct is to fight through this controversy. because i truly believe it is politically motivated. i believe it is unfair. and it is untruthful. this situation, by its current trajectory, will generate months of political and legal controversy. that is what is going to happen. i think that given the circumstances the best way i can help now is if i step aside and let government get back to governing. and therefore, that's what i'll
do. and my resignation will be effective in 14 days. >> in less than two weeks, lieutenant governor kathy hochul will take over and become the first woman to lead new york state. she responded to cuomo's re resignation that read, i agree with governor cuomo's decision to step down. it is the right thing to do. as someone who has served at all levels of government and is next in line of succession, i am prepared to lead new york state's 57th governor. the president was asked about the job that cuomo has done? >> as someone who has served, how do you assess. >> in terms of his personal state or what he's done as
governor? >> in terms of governor. >> well, he's done a hell of a job. a hell of a job. everything from access to voting to infrastructure, the whole range of things, that's why it's so sad. >> can you really say that he's accused of sexually harassed -- ask the substantive, should he remain as governor is one question? and women should be believed when they make accusations that are able to on the face of it make sense and investigated it, they're investigated and the judgment is made what they said is correct. that's one thing. the question is did he do a good job on infrastructure? that was the question. he did. >> but as a governor -- >> no, the question was, correct me if i'm wrong -- >> as the governor. >> well, the governor. >> outside of his personal behavior. >> you can separate the two? >> no, i was asked a specific question. i want to answer specifically.
>> white house press secretary jen psaki later tweeted about biden's comments writing, quote, the president responded to a specific question on infrastructure. also made it clear it was right for governor cuomo to step down, reiterated his support for women who come forward and made clear you can't separate personal behavior from other work. after months of negotiation, the senate has passed bipartisan infrastructure deal. the proposal will pour money into the ageing infrastructure. includes money for roads, bridges and highways, high speed internet, clean water and more. and 19 democrats to approve the measure, now, the proposal needs to clear the house. house speaker nancy pelosi said she won't take up the bipartisan bill until senate takes up
priorities. on that note, the senate voted along party lines for the $3.5 trillion budget resolution. the chamber is now on its second day, up to 50 hours of debate on the democrat-only infrastructure bill. among those passing, one to prohibit enactment of the green new deal, one for addressing climate change and one to address fracking. the debate can end anytime, when they choose. if and when they do, the house will complete its work for the resolution. house majority leader steny hoyer sent a member to members instructing them to be in the office of august 24, as the john lewis voting invitings act the be taken up as well. and the gop senators circulating
saying they will not support an increase in the debt ceiling. forcing democrats to take sole responsibility for higher debt. joining us now, nbc news correspondent leigh ann caldwell. the senate passing the infrastructure bill, of course, a huge win for president biden. it will be a long road before the bill actually gets to his desk. what do you expect next? >> it sure is a long road, alicia. the senate on that long road of $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill. now, both of those measures go over the house of representatives, the bipartisan bill and the process. now speaker pelosi says she's only going to take up when they come back to session later this month. the 3.5 trillion first step process. she is holding up on that bipartisan bill, until the
senate completes the rest of the process on this human infrastructure bill. they still have to write the legislation. and then they have to vote on it again. and now that is going to be a large block of moderates in the party who say they will not support this bipartisan bill until they see every single line of legislative text of this human infrastructure bill. and that's why speaker pelosi is waiting. so, we might not get a vote on the house on the bipartisan bill until maybe september. maybe even later than that. because they are saying that both of these pieces of legislation once complete need to move side by side. >> i always loved the moment, leeann, where the legislation is seeing them shepherding around lines of pages. despite the debt ceiling, where's it headed? >> so, democrats insist that they are going to make republicans have to vote on
increasing the debt ceiling. republicans are adamant that they will not do so. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell has laid down the stakes actually a couple months ago, saying republicans aren't going to participate. you mentioned that letter, that 46 of those republicans signed, two democrats saying they're not going to do it, it's in democrats' hands. well, four republicans didn't sign that letter including susan collins and lisa murkowski, two moderates. that's still not enough, they need ten republicans to vote for it. democrats are moving a partisan bill through this process called reconciliation. they can attach it to that. the democrats have not done that yet. they want republicans to have skin in the game. and it's almost at a standoff at this point. >> leigh ann, we've been
focusing on infrastructure, you have the latest on the police reform. what's the latest? >> i do. there's a proposal by republican tim scott of south carolina. the latest was if they recesses for their august break without a deal on police reform he's going to walk away from the talks. well, in fact, they have recessed for the august break or about to any moment now. he tells me, actually, he's not, he's going to stay at the negotiating table. but on the table is not a big comprehensive police reform. perhaps they're doing a scaled-back measure. i spoke to him last night, listen to what he said. >> it's on the table. everything's on the table as we work through this. we're making progress. we're coming into agreements on portions of the bill. the good news is we've not resigned ourselves to stopping. we believe there's still a path forward to, so that's really
good news. >> okay, so you haven't decided on the skinny bill? >> no, my whole point, we will take a look at all options. >> okay. >> and that means, that if we can have a smaller bill, or we can continue to work on this larger bill. >> so, the good news, they're going to continue to work, but i will say they were so close a deal a couple months ago. and they only seem to be farther apart at this point. >> all right, nbc's leigh ann caldwell, thank you so much. still ahead, paris welcomes superstar lionel messi after his contract expired. plus, a tropical storm in the caribbean. and the florida cone, and meteorologist bill karins will have the latest on that, and much more. ore.

in the life of soccer star alone nell messi. the 33-year-old flew to france yesterday to sign a two-year contract that includes a third season with psg, where he's reportedly at $51 million a year. saying last week the soccer legend would not be staying at his long "time" club because of financial and structural obstacles. at a news conference, messi broke down in tears after he confirmed he's leaving barcelona after 21 years. turning to major league baseball, we turn to boston where the tampa bay rays rallied over victory over the white sox. bases loaded error in the ninth inning that allowed three runs to score. the rays take the first of a three-game division series 8-4. the loss drops the red sox another game behind tampa. boston says two games behind the
yankees in an ugly 8-4 loss in new york city as new york clings to a half game advantage. and rounding out the division in baltimore, the orioles are now on a six-game losing streak after falling 9-4 in last night's rain delay against detroit, despite the scary collision in the tigers outfield during the eighth inning that sent both players involved to the locker room. ouch. with injuries. detroit's manager said both guys were in a lot of pain and still undergoing tests. and finally, dodgers trea turner put his speed on display in the fifth game in philadelphia, zooming from second to score on a single line to right field. but the real highlight was his slide at home which looked like something out baseball ballet. turner touching the plate with his left hand as he slid through
and using his bottom leg to move seamlessly capped with twirl. amazing. dodgers beat the phillies 5-0. time for the weather. let's go to meteorologist bill karins with the forecast. >> that was grateful, alicia, need that in slo-mo, too. let's get to the forecast. so much with the heat and now a tropical storm to deal with. but the heat is a big thing. that's the immediate concern. this heat wave goes from coast to coast. heat waves from the northwest to northern california. that does not help out obviously with firefighting efforts. in total, 121 million people impacted by the heat wave. up for philadelphia, new york city, too, the midwest continues to be very hot with heat warnings in st. louis and kansas city. and how hot will it be? today, the heat index, the number you see in the white. d.c. will feel like 105, everyone is cranking the ac. st. louis, 111, memphis, 111
too. and it looks like the heat is three or four days in most locations right from friday in areas from cincinnati to nashville. d.c. will be 96 to 99 by wednesday, thursday and friday. and here's the feels like temperature. the worst for new york city will be thursday. 105. d.c., 108 on thursday. midwest, the worst in st. louis, that will feel like 113 degrees. that's as hot as it gets in areas of the midwest. now for the tropics. we do have our tropical storm fred in puerto rico. this is a weak storm over the dominican republic as we go throughout the day today. there's not a lot of organization. as of now, this is a weak storm. that's going to interact with the mountains there in the dominican republic so it's going to stay weak. it won't be late saturday, saturday night that it could begin to strengthen if it
survives its trip past cuba and haiti and dominican republic. so for our friends in florida, looks like it's a weakish type storm. we'll continue to monitor it. >> as someone who lived in florida for seven years, i'm well accustomed to watching those maps. bill karins, thank you. still ahead, as the taliban continues its advance in afghanistan, the u.s. enjoy delivers a blunt message to those militants. more on that in a moment. we will be right back. right ba. trelegy for copd. ♪ birds flyin' high, you know how i feel. ♪ ♪ breeze drifting on by you know how i feel. ♪ ♪ it's a new dawn... ♪

♪♪ welcome back to "way too early." it is just before 5:30 on the east coast. 2:30 out west. alicia menendez. the covid situation worsening especially in parts of the country with lower vaccination rates. 167 million americans are now fully vaccinated. but that's still just over 50%. according to an nbc news count, case are up by 190,000 and 630 new deaths have been reported. morgan chesky has the latest. >> reporter: delta driving covid cases to dangerous highs. the variant now tied to 93% of u.s. infections, the biggest spikes coming in texas, missouri, florida and arkansas, where monday brought its largest single-day increase in hospitalizations since the start of the pandemic. patients flowing into arkansas hospitals at double the national rate. >> it's worse than any of the

school officials to issue their own mandates. and in kentucky, the governor mandating all schools mask-up. as u.s. covid cases now top 36 million, the push to vaccinate and the confusion over booster shots continues. despite the fda urging no need for boosters. some states like mississippi are advising doctors to consider it. as pfizer and moderna conduct their own safety trials, texas officials confirming some people intentionally getting more doses than they should. experts say that decision is premature. >> i don't believe people should be going out and doing this on their own. it causes a lot more confusion. we want to look at the safety and efficacy data of third shots before we make guidance who will benefit from it or who won't. >> president biden celebrating the passage of the bill touting it as a huge bipartisan win. thanked both from both sides of the aisle for working together. >> i want to thank the group of senators, democrats and
republicans for doing what they told me they would do. after years and years of infrastructure week, we're on it's cusp of an infrastructure decade that i truly believe will transform america. this bill shows that we can work together. i know a lot of people, some sitting in the audience here, didn't think this could happen. this bill was declared dead more often than anybody. but bipartisan was the thing of the past, it was characterized as a relic of an earlier age. as you may well remember, i never believed that. i still don't. so i want to thank those senators who worked so hard to bring this agreement together. i know what needed, for the republicans that supported this bill, you showed a lot of courage. i know compromise is hard for both sides. but it's important, it's important, it's necessary for
democracy to be able to function. i just want to thank everyone on both sides of the aisle for supporting this bill. today, we proved that democracy can still work. a lot more work to do. >> joining us white house correspondent for politico and co-author of "the playbook" eugene daniels, he's also an msnbc contributor. good morning, my friend. let's talk about the white house's role in congressional talks? how involved is president biden? we heard how he and his administration are going to be out on the road selling this thing. how are they selling it to members of congress? >> yeah, the thing about this, you heard the president there, they're sitting in the audience with them. they haven't been this excited this entire eight months of him being in office. they have been looking forward to a day when they can kind of say to the naysayers, you know, we told you so, president biden promised on the campaign trail he's going to bring some
bipartisanship. and to be clear, this is a huge deal, right? this is a lot of money. the president and democrats and rivals they say the infrastructure investment is more than we've seen in a very long time. so that's number one. but also this proof you that can kind of find some common ground in a world where we're not seeing a lot of that on capitol hill. whether that is duplicative, whether they can do that again is another conversation for another day. but that's something that they're focusing on. but what we have been talking to them now is this reconciliation bill, right? this $3.5 trillion bill, what that looks like. because that is where, i think, they're going to have to use the president even more than they did this time around. the president was able to let the senate doll its thing on the infrastructure bill. they allowed chuck schumer to do what he wanted to do. he wasn't involved in conversation but with this reconciliation bill, we heard
them say if folks need to come to the oval office to calm their fears, we'll do that. they've had 400, they gaul them engagements, or different conversations with members of congress and their staff for reconciliation. and they haven't really started the process yet so that tells you how much more they have to be on that. >> you know, the part of that sound is the part where he says, some of you think we couldn't be able to do this. but here we are. but also on the covid front, how is the white house planning to deal with this question of the large swath of americans who are still unvaccinated. particularly, as kids, educators, members of school districts head back to school? >> it's a big concern. a lot of them have parents, we talk about that all the time. they kind of understand and the frustrations that both parents and leaders have in trying to figure out what is the best for kids but right now, we know the
president had said that they're going to be looking into what can the federal government do to kind of force the hand of some of these governors and some of these areas to see what they can do. however, jen psaki said yesterday, the press secretary, that they're not going to withhold funds. that's something they could do, withhold some of these covid relief funds from states that don't allow schools or institutions to kind of make their own decisions. right now, their focus is trying to continue to get people vaccinated. they're trying to look at getting those kids that are under or over 12 to get vaccinated. looking into more information about the under-12 set. because they know that that is the place that they're going to be able to -- if they're able to convince these parents to get these kids vaccinated. that is going to be more effective than masks which obviously has stayed a cultural war as a part of this entire pandemic. and the vaccine of that, too. and they're trying to take some
politics out of that when they're having these conversations with governors. but so far, it's seemingly impossible to do so for some of these folks. >> really hard to disentangle. politico's eugene daniels, thank you. still ahead, a pizza delivery out of this world. totally different for astronauts at the international space station. that's next on "way too early."

the women who accused governor andrew cuomo of sexual harassment are speaking out after he announced his resignation. lindsey boylan, the first woman to accuse. tweeting from the beginning i simply asked that the governor stop his abusive behavior. it became abundantly clear he was unable to do that until attacking and blaming victims until the end. and cuomo saying, mrs. mcgrath
remain grateful that their voices and experiences were herd. >> i definitely want him to resign. at the same time, i'm not gloating over it. and i don't think anyone should. it's a very sad day for the state of new york. what he did to those women was unforgivable. and he brought it on himself, through his own actions. and, of course, he immediately started blaming others. blaming his opponents. his political opponents. blaming his enemies. blaming the media. his own flaws brought him down. not anyone else. >> joining us now, city hall and politics reporter for wnyc brigid bergin. good to see you. what have you learned for andrew cuomo next? >> this time, we know we have a window of two weeks before the governor is going anywhere. while he announced his
resignation, he's not stepping down today. he announced two weeks. that is to provide a seamless transition to lieutenant governor kathy hochul who will become the acting governor at that point. there's a question what those two weeks will be like. in addition to that, we have the assembly on track to go forward with impeachment charges against the governor. the assembly judiciary committee is still set to meet again, this coming monday. they already met once this week. made it very clear when they came out of that meeting they had a schedule for public hearings and for an impeachment proceeding. there's an open question now, whether or not they will continue down that path. under the new york city constitution, it's not clear if they are able to do that. and if they were to do that, what type of punishment they could afford the governor, at this point, since he's already said he will leave office. the open question becomes, would they choose to say they would
bar him from running from future state office. that's a potential punishment under the new york state constitution for officers who are impeached. but that's, of course, only if the assembly decides to go forward with the impeachment. and they hold the full trial in the new york state senate. of course, there are also criminal investigations that the governor still faces. in westchester can county, and albany count. and investigations ongoing related to covid nursing home deaths, his $5 million book deal and whether any of the staff worked during their time in state government on that. and his handling of other issues related to the state's functioning. and i think those are the questions that people are really waiting to see those. those additional investigations. whether they have implications for the governor going forward. and then what happened during this period of transition. >> right. what can you tell us about
hochul's relationship to the legislature? >> well, kathy hochul has been the lieutenant governor for just -- for the -- since 2014. and at this point, i think she has seen pretty favorably among state lawmakers. she was not particularly close to cuomo and his inner circle. she was never part of those covid briefings. during the time that the governor and his staff has been overseeing the pandemic, she has been doing what she has done previously, which is traveling across the state of new york, a very big state, bringing the governor's message to different parts of the state. i think there's a lot of hope among state lawmakers that she'll bring a certain level of stability. and a different style of governing than the governor has had while he has been in office. certainly, that makes her a leading contender for running for governor in 2022. and that is the position that is up for re-election next year.
and i think there are folks who are hopeful to see, you know, this could be a historic moment for new york. not unlike the first time we saw our first african american governor when governor david patterson assumed the seat when governor eliot spitzer stepped down. this will be new york down. i think she's going to make history and people are aware of that. >> all right. thank you. earlier in the show we asked why are you awake, and meg is writing, i'm on a cruise in greece and we passed the islands. that sounds nice. i'm up way too early because it's the first day of school for the students in columbus and my puppy has not adjusted to the schedule. and larry bums us that we're losing minutes of day light

to pull the troops out of afghanistan by the end of august, and that matters because the taliban has really stunned some u.s. government military and security officials with its conquest over the past week. we know as you know well, based on your reporting that the taliban has taken over something like 65% of the country. but we know based on president biden's public words and our conversations with sources familiar with his thinking that biden isn't budging on this. >> can you give us a sense though, is this an ongoing conversation, one they keep returning to inside the administration? >> yeah. i mean that's right. it's an ongoing conversation they're having, but when we talked to the white house officials, they privately kind of reassured that pointed to the pulling that the americans are overwhelmingly supportive of pulling the troops out of afghanistan and we talked to national security figures and said, look, even if president biden wanted to go around afghanistan's official security forces to try to do something to
intervene to help them with the taliban, it would be incredibly difficult to do that and most likely unlikely to happen. >> yeah. as you well know, during the presidential campaign, we talked about what biden would be facing once he was in office, the way he'd need to re-establish america on the world stage in addition to a whole suite of domestic challenges. how do they see what is playing out in afghanistan in relation to what is happening here in the united states? >> it's a really good point, because when you talk to the white house officials they privately say, look, this is the afghanistan situation. we have been there for years and years, done have what we could, announced our intentions early on and we have other things to focus on. to your point. there are many, many domestic issues going on, the pandemic not the least of them. >> alexi, what's causing the rise in the financial market? >> folks are getting back into the economy and although raw
materials and inflation aren't showing at a stagnation just yet, we could see some dips in the future. >> alexi mccammond, good to see you. thank you for getting up "way too early" and i will see you on saturdays and sundays right here on msnbc. "morning joe" starts right now. the senate passed president biden's $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill with bipartisan support. that's -- that's good news. that's positive. [ applause ] that's right. a trillion dollars to fix our roads, bridges and airports so after they finish laguardia that will leave us with about 40 bucks. >> well, good morning, and welcome to "morning joe." wednesday, august 12th and mika is off, on the track to the south of france. >> we begin with the latest development of covid, hospitalizations, deaths, still on the rise especially in parts
of the country with lower vaccination rates as we have been telling you for some time. morgan chesky has the latest. >> reporter: delta driving covid cases to dangerous highs. the variant now tied to 93% of u.s. infections. the biggest spikes coming in texas, missouri, florida and arkansas, where monday brought its largest single day increase in hospitalizations since the start of the pandemic. patients flowing into arkansas hospitals at double the national rate. >> it's worse than any of the prior surges for a whole host of reasons. >> reporter: with only eight icu beds left in the spire state, the doctor says his hospital is seeing an increase in younger patients. >> young, healthy people should not be dying from a viral illness, period. they shouldn't be dying from covid-19. but because this particular variant is so severe, virulent and replicates very quickly, we
are seeing pretty rapid changes to the health of individuals that are infected with the virus. >> reporter: president biden speaking out about banning the mask mandates, despite the surge. >> i find that totally counterintuitive and frankly, disingenuous. >> can you intervene in states like texas and florida where they're banning the mask mandates? >> i don't believe i do thus far, we're checking out. >> reporter: a san antonio judge allowed the local school officials to issue their own mandate and in kentucky, the governor is mandating all schools mask up. as covid cases top 36 million, despite the fda urging no need for boosters some states like mississippi are advising the doctors to consider it. as pfizer and moderna conduct their own safety trials, texas officials are confirming some people are intentionally getting
more doses than they should. experts say that decision is premature. >> i don't believe that most people should be doing this on their own, it will cause a lot more confusion. we want to actually look at the safety and the efficacy data of third shots before we make guidance about who would benefit from it, and who wouldn't. >> morgan chesky reporting there. more now on schools, thousands are heading back to the classroom this week as the debate over vaccine and mask mandates escalates. let's bring in nbc news correspondent kerry sanders from palm beach county. what are you hearing there? >> well, good morning. there's a real debate in the state right now about whether parents can have the schools mandate actual mask wearing because the governor has made it clear, the school boards, the superintendents, they cannot do that and if they do do that they will potentially lose their salaries and, again, that

Not far from the city of Aywaille, in Wallonia (Belgium) in the very heart of Remouchamps, there is located the Grottes de Remouchamps Cave.
What is this cave famous for?
First of all, it is one of the oldest show caves in Europe. It has been opened for tourists since 1912.
Secondly, there is a navigable river in the cave. Well, of course, you won’t see heavy-duty tanker ships or shiny motorboats. But, Tourists can travel for almost 600 meters in average size boats along the show cave route down the Rubicon River. Here they admire the beauty of the cave and the diversity of the underground world.
Thirdly, it is the longest lit show cave in Europe. Electrical lighting appeared in the cave in 1924. Before that visitors used fire torches.
Fourthly, as of May 2010, the Remouchamps Cave became the first Belgium show cave equipped with a contemporary controlled LED lighting system.
Cave Lighting LED equipment is installed in the largest Cathedral Chamber of the cave. The installation work only took a week to complete. The new lighting system consists of 25 CL-LSQ series lamps (3V), 11 CL-LQP series lamps (12V), 15 CL-LST series lamps and 3 CL-CP series controllers. Total power consumption of the new system is 230W, in comparison to the old system, which consumed about 10.000W. Moneywise, it is even more impressive with 40 times less energy used. The Cathedral Chamber now looks much brighter and more attractive. The cold white light of the LED lamps emphasize the natural beauty of the dripstones. As well, the professional arrangement of the lighting equipment amplifies the underground space of the Cathedral Chamber.
You can view the interactive panorama of the Remouchamps cave Cathedral Chamber with the new Cave Lighting illumination system.

Worth confirms Atherton exclusivity: Home prices nation's 3rd highest
Published 4:00 am, Sunday, May 16, 1999
Old money Atherton has just gotten more exclusive - thanks to new money.
Atherton is ranked as the third richest community in the country - and the wealthiest in the Bay Area - in Worth magazine's annual list of America's 250 most affluent towns.
The rankings are based on median home sales for the past two years. Atherton's $1,537,500 median fell just below the $1.7 million in Jupiter Island, Fla., and the $1,620,000 in Aspen, Colo.
"Oh my," said Atherton Mayor Nanette Chapman when a reporter proffered results of the fourth annual survey in Worth's June issue. "We just can't believe these (housing) prices . . . and I don't see them going down."

Three other Bay Area towns kept their top 10 status from last year for the nation's most expensive housing markets: Fourth-place Hillsborough with a median price of $1,250,000; fifth-place Belvedere, $1,225,000 and Los Altos Hills, $1,120,150.
Two Southern California towns - Rolling Hills and Rancho Santa Fe - made the top 10. California boasted 76 towns on Worth's list to top New York's 48 and New Jersey's distant 25.
Atherton - next door to Silicon Valley's high-tech nerve center, which has produced large numbers of 30-something millionaires over the last three years - has been ascending Worth's upper crust list recently. It placed fourth last year and ranked seventh in 1997.
Atherton has been an old money enclave since the 1860s when Faxon Atherton, a rich hide and tallow trader from Chile, bought 611 acres of prime land and built the South Bay's first mansion, Valparaiso Park. The town is named after him.
"But there has been a lot of new money from the valley . . .a lot of high-techers and venture capitalists" bidding up housing prices, Chapman said.<

When Brazilian-born Henrique Dubugras and Pedro Franceschi met at 16 years old, they bonded over a love of coding and mutual frustrations with their strict mothers, who didn’t understand their Mark Zuckerberg-esque ambitions.
To be fair, their moms’ fear of their hacking habits only escalated after their pre-teen sons received legal notices of patent infringements in the mail. A legal threat from Apple, which Franceschi received after discovering the first jailbreak to the iPhone, is enough to warrant a grounding, at the very least.
Their parents implored them to quit the hacking and stop messing around online.
They didn’t listen.
Today, the now 22-year-olds are announcing a $125 million Series C for their second successful payments business, called Brex, at a $1.1 billion valuation. Greenoaks Capital, DST Global and IVP led the round, which brings their total raised to date to about $200 million.
San Francisco-based Brex provides startup founders access to corporate credit cards without a personal guarantee or deposit. It’s also supported by the likes of PayPal founders Peter Thiel and Max Levchin, the former chief executive officer of Visa Carl Pascarella and a handful of leading venture capital firms.

Beauty product entrepreneur and Hollywood socialite Kylie Jenner announced Tuesday that her newest item for sale flew off the shelves quicker than expected. In fact, the reality TV star sold out of her entire supply of Kyshadows in less than a minute, she tweeted Tuesday afternoon.
The Kyshadow Kit launched Tuesday at 12 noon EDT and before the clock could strike 12:01 p.m., she had no more items to offer her adoring, buying public, which clearly wanted one or all of the nine matte eyeshadows with earth tone colors.
She announced the new product last month via her website, calling it "big news."
"Surprise, I'm launching a Kyshadow palette!!! I've been working on this for months and I'm so excited to finally reveal the big news to you guys," she wrote in part.
The announcement was accompanied by a video "introducing" Kyshadows as well as an instructional video "to show you guys how I use my brand new KyShadow kit."
In addition to Kyshadows, Jenner has a robust slate of beauty products that she sells on a separate website devoted entirely to her retail operation. The other products include various lip-related items, such as matte lip kits, matte singles, glosses and metals, according to the website.
The 18-year-old star of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" on the E! network already has an estimated net worth of $10 million. With the success that Kyshadows had on its debut, Jenner is sure to add to her growing fortune. The half-sister of Kim Kardashian West used the TV show as a launching pad of sorts to create a career in popular culture that has resulted in her having more than 17 million followers on Twitter and nearly 69 million followers on Instagram.

By then, Lidl (with 36 stores) and Aldi (with 12) plan to have a total of 150 outlets across the Republic and their combined sales could be over E1bn, says the report.
It claims that over 90 potential retail sites are being assessed by Aldi, which is also planning a 350,000 sq ft distribution centre in Naas, County Kildare.
The report, prepared by Mark McCleane, an associate director with Merrion, acknowledges that aggressive price-cutting by Tesco and Dunnes has blunted the advance of the discounters, pushing their combined market share from a peak of 5.6% to 4.9% by the end of last year. However, McCleane sees this as a temporary setback.
Lidl and Aldi, he points out, have fewer problems with planning permission than the major chains because their outlets are smaller. By sourcing most of their stock outside Ireland, they can also use their international purchasing power to keep prices down in a way that indigenous chains cannot.
Given Tesco’s international muscle, the main threat from this increased competition is to Dunnes, according to the report. It claims that the family-owned chain faces “significant and immediate operational and strategic challenges”.

With the arrest yesterday of FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried now in the rear-view mirror, House Financial Service Committee members undertook a review of the cryptocurrency exchange’s implosion with its current CEO John J. Ray who is overseeing the company’s bankruptcy proceedings.
The hearing titled, “Investigating the Collapse of FTX, Part I,” was led by Chairwoman Rep. Maxine Waters (D, CA) and Ranking Member Rep. Patrick McHenry (R, NC). With Bankman-Fried’s appearance no longer possible due to his incarceration, there was some measure of disappointment identified by both Waters and McHenry in the hearing’s opening statements. See the hearing video below.
McHenry made clear that he expects to hear from SEC Chair Gary Gensler “early and often” as the Ranking Member becomes Chair of the Committee in the next Congress. McHenry’s criticism of Gensler’s regulation by enforcement policy toward crypto is well-known.
Enter the new CEO
John J. Ray jumped right in with his criticism of the poor management, corporate malfeasance and inadequate security controls typical of his predecessors at FTX and its trading group, Alameda Research.
Read his complete opening testimony here.
As he concluded, Ray said:
“I would like to especially say to regulators – in the U.S. and abroad – that I completely understand the depth of outrage and frustration with what happened. I have instructed my team to cooperate as comprehensively and completely as possible, and much of our time so far has been spent on the truly herculean task of gathering and organizing information responsive to the many requests we have received.”
Reiterating themes from his testimony in the Q&A with Chairwoman Waters, Ray stated, “The operations of the FTX Group were not separated” – this is one reason U.S. regulators are even more interested.
FTX.us was not carved out of the international company. They were operated as one unit which violated the regulatory requirements for a U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange. Mr Ray added, “There were no internal controls. There was no separateness.”
Rep. McHenry took over the questioning next and asked for the four silos of business at FTX from Mr. Ray who outlined as follows:
- The U.S. silo – FTX.us
- International – FTX.com
- Alameda – a crypto hedge fund – “Alameda was a user of FTX.com”
- 4th entity – other investments made by Alameda or FTX, venture investments
Later in answer to a question from Committee member Rep. Ann Wagner (R, MO) on the extent of the accounting challenges at FTX, Mr. Ray noted that the company used Quickbooks which he believed was highly inappropriate for a multi-billion dollar company. As for risk management systems at FTX, he said there were none. The good news – if there was any – was that the LedgerX and Japanese businesses under the FTX were still operating successfully.
“Crypto is a garden of snakes”
Crypto critic and Congressman Rep. Brad Sherman (D, CA) was next up and he took the time to equate crypto with a snake or snakes in the Garden of Eden. There are no redeeming qualities with cryptocurrency other than benefiting “Silicon Valley Bros,” he said. “[SBF’s] one purpose was to keep the SEC out of crypto.”
Turning presumably to the Digital Commodity Consumer Protection Act (DCCPA) in the Senate, Sherman admonished, “Don’t trash Sam Bankman-Fried and then pass his bill.”
From Mr. Ray, Rep. Sherman requested a list of loans and bonuses of the FTX executives such as Ryan Salame. He wants to get to the bottom of campaign donations made by the FTX team.
Rep. Frank Lucas (R, OK) asked about what was not included in the FTX bankruptcy proceedings. FTX CEO Ray quickly identified LedgerX as one of those entities saying it’s a regulated entity, fully solvent with appropriate, separated custody of customer funds.
Rep. Al Green (D, TX) took his 5-minutes for questioning Mr. Ray to raise up physical copies of the indictments and ultimately ask almost rhetorically if “this is all one big mistake” and “sincere ignorance” on Mr. Bankman-Fried’s part. Mr. Ray answered dutifully, “Ultimately, others will judge him by actions.”
In answer to a question from Rep. Pete Sessions (R, TX) on what was the biggest account held by a U.S. investor, Mr. Ray said it was premature to offer that detail but “hundreds of millions, billions” had been lost. Regarding tax reporting by FTX, Ray revealed that Ernst & Young had been hired to look at tax returns dating back to 2020. Sessions wondered aloud if the tax reporting could indicate malfeasance. Ray suggested any information along those lines would be supplied to the appropriate authorities.
Next up, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D, MO) brought up Sam Bankman-Fried’s prepared testimony for the hearing which the Committee has seen but, as of yet, had not been released publicly (other than a leak via Reuters). Rep. Cleaver asked Chairwoman Waters if SBF’s testimony which he never presented could be entered into the record and she agreed. No timing was given on the public release of SBF’s testimony.
Rep. Blake Luetkemeyer (R, MO) asked Mr. Ray about the 10% stake of Farmington State Bank that FTX was allowed to acquire in the state of Washington at 20 times book value. Mr. Ray indicated he’s aware of the investment and his team will be looking into it.
Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D, CO) made the connection between the Madoff bankruptcy and the FTX bankruptcy proceedings. Rep. Perlmutter noted that distributions from the Madoff bankruptcy 14 years ago were just being made… i.e. Mr. Ray’s business with FTX is going to take a long time across many “preferences” of creditors and the like.
At this point in the hearing, Chairwoman Waters noted the separate filings of complaints against the SEC, CFTC and SDNY.
Next among the questioners was Rep. Bill Huizenga (R, MI) who asked about how many Americans were actually using FTX.com, the international exchange of FTX. Mr. Ray didn’t have exact figures but said it was small and “under 2%” of FTX’s overall customer number. Sam Bankman-Fried’s parents became a point of focus and Ray said the parents “received payments” from FTX. Huizenga recalled that SBF’s Dad accompanied him in a visit to Huizenga’s office a year ago. Huizenga suggestion was that the parents should be reviewed.
Rep. Joyce Beatty (D, OH) asked about the process around securing any remaining funds. Mr. Ray indicated his team was on it and it was their “#1 focus.” He also offered that his team is still getting team around customer numbers given the fact that many customers had multiple accounts. Asked about suggestions on possible regulatory fixes, separating customer funds and transparency were top of mind with Ray.
Rep. Andy Barr (R, KY) inquired about what has been done to create some corporate structure at the existing FTX entity. Ray talked about various roles he’s initiated in the company. Moreover, there was only audited financial statements at the U.S. entities according to Ray, but he couldn’t comment on their accuracy. He reiterated that $8 billion was lost and still needs to be found, so any existing paperwork is suspect.
Rep. Juan Vargas (D, CA) said, “I don’t get the point of cryptocurrency” and pointed at Republicans for being “quiet today” about crypto’s promise. He asked Mr. Ray about FTX’s lack of compliance and Ray reiterated that power was in the hands of a few at FTX. Rep. Vargas tried to press Mr. Ray on who should regulate crypto, and Mr. Ray demurred. Vargas stated he wants the SEC to regulate crypto.
Bringing up Mr. Ray’s experience on the Enron bankruptcy, Rep. Roger Williams (R, TX) asked about a comparison to FTX. Mr. Ray said FTX was “old-fashioned embezzlement” and lacked the sophistication of what occurred with Enron. Mr. Ray said he believed SBF should have “zero” involvement in the bankruptcy proceedings going forward. On the $1 billion recovered in crypto assets, it consists of coins and cash and is an ongoing effort.
Rep. Michael San Nicolas (D, Guam) asked about the specific cause or trigger point of the FTX collapse. Mr. Ray said it was what he had said before – unlimited use of customer funds which included the use of questionable margin trading practices.
Rep. French Hill (R, AR) brought up the U.S. accounting firm involved with FTX, Prager-Metis. Mr. Ray suggested that he will be using separate experts for understanding the taxes of FTX.
Beginning his 5-minutes with “Like it or not, we are moving into a crypto world,” Rep. Jim Himes (D, CT) asked about the use of wallets versus Mr. Ray’s experience with banks. Rep. Himes wondered what Congress needs to be aware of in terms of the difference. “Crypto assets have inherently some difficulties” and discussed the use of “hot” wallets versus “cold” wallets and indicated that there are “lots” of vulnerability to hacking. The lack of discipline of the control of wallets, the management of passwords and similar examples were places where lessons can be learned said Mr. Ray. On venture capital, Rep. Himes wondered aloud about due diligence by VC entities such as Greylock, Sequoia and others. Mr. Ray said he didn’t have an answer.
Next up, Rep. Tom Emmer (R, MN) asked a series of quick questions of Mr. Ray reiterating the lack of a board, the concentration of power, the lack of in-house accounting and HR department at FTX. Rep. Emmer said that SEC Chair Gensler had more meetings than anyone else with FTX regarding “preferential treatment” on a “newly-formed, bespoke exchange.” Rep. Emmer said that he wanted to see copies of any communication with the SEC. Mr. Ray agreed. Rep. Emmer noted the corruption which occurred with centralization – taking time to note the decentralized nature of cryptocurrency and that technology was not to blame in the case of FTX.
Rep. Sean Casten (D, IL) clarified with Mr. Ray that all of the FTX losses are dollar-dominated. Nevertheless, the company’s FTT token was part of the problem at FTX according to Mr. Ray. On “Commingling” versus “Open Margin Positions” (the phrase SBF used in interview), Mr. Ray said he had trouble understanding what SBF meant. On the $477 million hack that stole FTX funds in November, Mr Ray said, “We’re tracking it and we have all the help we need on that front.”
Rep. Lee Zeldin (R, NY) referenced SBF’s unreleased, prepared testimony for today’s hearing – in particular, the part had to do with how funds were used at FTX in coordination with Alameda. On Alameda’s current investments, some of those investments will be put up for sale, but crypto assets will be secured and moved “into cold storage” according to Mr. Ray. He worried that FTX may have had wallets that he and his team does not know about – yet. Sounding a positive note about FTX assets, Mr. Ray said that the transparency of crypto assets allow them to be traced.
Rep. Gregory Meeks (D, NY) began by noting crypto’s promise around financial inclusion and then asked for clarification about lack of internal controls and an independent board. Mr. Ray said a presumably skilled and independent board would have prevented what happened at FTX.
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R, GA) clarified with Mr. Ray that FTX.us is definitely not solvent as SBF had indicated in his prepared testimony before he was arrested.
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D, NJ) raised concerns about the SEC and its Chair Gary Gensler in regards to “rules of the road” for cryptocurrency. Rep. Gottheimer said he wants clear guardrails for crypto as do other congresspersons which would prevent “snake oil” salesmen from running wild. He asked Mr. Ray if regulators would have been satisified with FTX’s compliance in regards to its international unit. Mr. Ray went back to his earlier answer which hesitated to make a judgment about what regulators should think. “At the end of the day, we’re not going to be able to recover all the assets,” admitted Mr. Ray suggesting it would take “months not weeks.”
In questioning Mr. Ray, Rep. Warren Davidson (R, OH) noted that Alameda had access to cash deposited by FTX customers -and, sometimes funds were deposited directly with Alameda. “No control, no custody” but customers who did self-custody were lucky and did not lose money said Rep. Davidson – as were the Bahamian customers who got their money out added Mr. Ray.
Rep. Ted Budd (R, NC) stated during his questioning of Mr. Ray that “what happened at FTX was fraud” and carefully differentiated between the fraud and the innovation that he believed blockchain technology and cryptocurrency represented.
Rep. Ritchie Torres (D, NY) brought up the FTT token and the fact FTX’s own asset was counted on its own balance sheet suggesting the risk involved with that strategy. Changing subjects, Rep. Torres asked about Robinhood stock what FTX had purchased in the past. Mr. Ray said the Robinhood shares were an asset of the company today, not SBF.
Rep. Anthony Gonzalez (R, OH) inquired about whether SBF and FTX’s senior executives would not know about any secret backdoor to funds at the cryptocurrency exchange. Mr. Ray was “unequivocal” and said “no.” He added that there were certain forms of communications which instantly disappear and can’t be recovered. When Rep. Gonzalez brought up the $100 million that was moved to 1,500 Bahamian customers just prior to the bankruptcy, Mr. Ray said he and his team were continuing to look at this.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D, MI) stated that she believed crypto was bullshit and wasn’t worthy of a discussion around its potential to help with financial inclusion.
Rep. John Rose (R, TN) began by considering aloud why the decision to arrest SBF was made right before SBF’s appearance at the House Financial Services Committee hearing. He insinuated the involvement of the SEC and its Chair Gary Gensler.
Rep. Alma Adams (D, NC) asked if Mr. Ray genuinely believed FTX customers will get their money back. “It’s too early to tell,” said Mr. Ray. On the question about whether this was risk-taking or fraud, Mr. Ray seemed to say it was risk-taking if one believes that not having controls was risky.
Rep. Bryan Steil (R, WI) started by raising up what could have been the reason for basing FTX in the Bahamas. Rep. Steil went further and asked about how the hacking of FTX as well as the idea that Bahamian authorities may have taken unauthorized funds – unauthorized given the bankruptcy proceedings. Mr. Ray said Bahamian authorities refuse to comply with requests for information regarding the withdrawals. He added, “The pushback that we’ve gotten is sort of extraordinary in the context of bankruptcy.” Rep. Steil made the point that this sort of malfeasance is a function of not being able to onshore companies to the United States without regulatory clarity.
Referencing the Southern District of New York’s charges against SBF including violating campaign finance laws, Rep. Stephen Lynch (D, MA) asked if there was any way that SBF may have tried to comply with U.S. securities laws. Mr. Ray answered only that his team is making regulators aware of everything that had transpired.
Rep. Madeleine Dean (D, PA) wanted to focus on the 11th and 12th of November -right around Mr. Ray’s hiring – in particular the hacking of crypto assets and the Bahamian Commission asking for the minting and transference of new FTT tokens to the Bahamian authorities to the tune of $300 million. Mr. Ray noted that this “minting” was post-bankruptcy and should not have happened. He said it was due to the control of the company being in the hands of a few people.
Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D, NY) began her questions by walking through the timeline for FTX’s implosion beginning with revelations about Alameda’s balance sheet via CoinDesk on November 2. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez made clear she believed it was important to understand the extradition timeline for SBF given the lack of transparency by the Bahamian government to date.
Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D, TX) questioned who really is harmed – “how many real people?” Mr. Ray didn’t have any information on consumers versus institutions. He just assumes there is a large number of consumers.
Rep. William Timmons (R, SC) wanted to know if it would have been helpful if Enron executives had appeared in front of Congress before they were arrested. Mr. Ray said yes. When asked about why SBF wasn’t allowed to testify and was arrested instead, Mr. Ray didn’t have an answer. Rep. Timmons inferred that someone at the Department of Justice made a decision to make sure SBF didn’t appear at the House Financial Services hearing.
Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia (D, IL) expressed his distaste for cryptocurrency and that it takes advantage of underserved communities. He also raised up the Bahamian government’s request for minting of tokens and transference to the Bahamian government.
Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D, MA), a member of the Congressional Blockchain Caucus, jokingly noted that Mr. Ray did not play any video games while answering Congress’ questions. SBF had been notorious for playing video games while being interviewed. Referencing SBF claims that he could make customers whole if he were still in charge, Mr. Ray said it was unbelievable. Rep. Auchincloss reiterated the timeline and asked that Mr. Ray make Congress aware in the future of any collusion with FTX and governmental authorities. Rep. Auchincloss closed by calling on the crypto community to “achieve product market fit at scale” and “build things that matter or lose more credibility.”
At the end, Rep. McHenry said that “Part II” of this hearing will occur next year and will continue the work of Chairwoman Waters this year.

Distance. 8 letters used to describe an enormous amount of space between him and I. Space that was suffocated and blue. Space had made showing affection to one another hard and it made me think of how much admiration I had for couples who could weather long distant relationships.
I was 1,450 miles from him and it felt like worlds away, like we were on the phone and could only hear static as we went around on a metaphorical carousel. A lot was being said but neither of us could hear the other speak. We’d fight about missing each other and schedules and making time to visit.
He and I were building empires for ourselves. We were trying to set ourselves up for success. College, work, all very cliché. The books and movies make it seem so easy but we rapidly found that it was no walk in the park.
I think our biggest issue was that we were so focused on our own progress that we never noticed that he and I, as a couple, were becoming regressive.
I still haven’t come to peace with the fact that there is no saving what we had. I knew the second that I saw him that I would love him even though others told me I was too young to know love. He and I were no Bonnie and Clyde but we were Allie and Noah from The Notebook. It was what everyone’s first love should be like. It should be a combination genuine happiness and passion and intimacy.
As time passed, we created our own goals and stopped accommodating one another. We had lost the fire we once had.
Timing wasn’t right. I was meant to find him years later. I know that. I can feel it in my bones. The way that I still love him even after all that has happened, all the time that has passed. We will reunite either later on, or in another life, but I know that his heart and mine are meant to be. Maybe not now, but one day.

I have a tiny bathroom for the toilet, perhaps 83 cu ft adjacent to the master bathroom for the shower and tub, perhaps 1266 cu ft. Currently only the toilet has a vent with a fan. It’s being removed in the remodel. I’m adding an exhaust register to the main bathroom and I’d like to vent both rooms with a single 8” 210CFM in-line duct fan.
Since the toilet is so much smaller, should I restrict its airflow with a smaller pipe ex 3” vs the main bathroom 6”? Then have them meet at a wye before the in-line fan which would exhaust out via a 6” pipe?
Obviously I want more air to be pulled from the larger space but want to do that while maximizing the in-line fans capabilities.
Lastly, would the damper, to restrict backdraft, go after the fan or before?

AUSTRALIA: MP calls for promotion of kangaroo meat as EU battles livestock diseases
Outback MP Peter Black is no stranger to criticism from conservation groups or colleagues. Last year he outraged associates by distributing a recipe for poached koala bear. This year however, his call to lift kangaroo cull quotas and promote the kangaroo meat industry in Europe is receiving a little more serious attention.

On a steep, fast green a player putts the ball above the hole. The player marks, lifts and cleans the ball and replaces the ball. Then, before the marker was lifted, the ball rolls off the green. What is the ruling?
a) The player may replace the ball at the marked position.
b) The player must play the ball as it lies
This depends on whether the ball, when replaced remained at rest on the spot on which it was placed for a moment before it started to move. (The fact that the marker had not been lifted is irrelevant as it is only an indicator of where the ball should be replaced.)
If, when released from the fingers, the ball stayed at rest for a moment before rolling; Answer b) the ball must be played as it lies.
If, on the other hand, the ball immediately moved as it was released; Answer a) the player is required to replace the ball – (Rule 20-3d)

The ability to hear and communicate are critical for effective command, control, unit safety, and mission accomplishment. Despite current efforts toward hearing preservation, military hearing loss is still on the rise. Hearing loss and tinnitus are the top two service-related disabilities in veterans with 1.6 million and 1.1 million veterans, respectively, receiving disability, costing $2 billion annually. To combat these conditions, the Department of Defense initiated its first program for hearing restoration by committing $10 million per year through several grants, including one at Indiana University School of Medicine.
Research teams in the IU 3D Stem Cell Biology Research Group investigate the restoration of hearing and promotion of hair-cell regeneration by studying how specific chemical compounds can trigger hair-cell regeneration after damage. The research group is also the first lab in the world to generate inner ear tissue from human stem cells.

Museum Tour: “Walid Raad Exhibit at MoMA”
Jan 13, 2016
The Museum of Modern Art
Lebanese artist Walid Raad offers LAU and AUB alumni and friends a tour of his exhibit at MoMA. The exhibit presents the first comprehensive American survey of the leading contemporary artist, featuring his work in photography, video, sculpture, and performance from the last 25 years. Dedicated to exploring the veracity of photographic and video documents in the public realm, the role of memory and narrative within discourses of conflict, and the construction of histories of art in the Arab world, Raad’s work is informed by his upbringing in Lebanon during the civil war (1975–91), and by the socioeconomic and military policies that have shaped the Middle East in the past few decades.
The exhibition focuses on two of the artist’s long-term projects: The Atlas Group (1989–2004) and Scratching on things I could disavow (2007–ongoing). Under the rubric of The Atlas Group, a 15-year project exploring the contemporary history of Lebanon, Raad produced fictionalized photographs, videotapes, notebooks, and lectures that related to real events and authentic research in audio, film, and photographic archives in Lebanon and elsewhere.

As LHI producer and Hazlewood's ex-girlfriend Suzi Jane Hokom later noted, Hazlewood was a performer and not a businessman, and his lack of business acumen figured greatly in the label's 1971 demise. He had a supporting role in the movie The Moonshine War , released in 1970 from a story by Elmore Leonard , starring Patrick McGoohan , Richard Widmark , Alan Alda and Will Geer .
"Jackson" is a song written in 1963 by Billy Edd Wheeler and Jerry Leiber. It was recorded in 1963 by the Kingston Trio, Wheeler and Flatt and Scruggs. It achieved its most notable popularity with two 1967 releases: a country hit single by Johnny Cash and June Carter, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Country Singles chart, and a pop hit single by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood, which ...
"Some Velvet Morning" is a song written by Lee Hazlewood and originally recorded by Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra in late 1967. It first appeared on Sinatra's album Movin' with Nancy, the soundtrack to her 1967 television special of the same name, which also featured a performance of the song.
The song was later covered by: Demis Roussos with Nancy Boyd, The Corrs featuring Bono (on the 2002 live album VH1 Presents: The Corrs, Live in Dublin), Ultima Thule, Gry with FM Einheit and his orchestra, Anna Hanski & Lee Hazlewood, Evan Dando & Sabrina Brooke, Scooter (on the 2000 album Sheffield), Jack Grace and Moimir Papalescu and The Nihilists (with the male and female parts switched).

College students say they would follow their doctor’s recommendations concerning the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, a currently underutilized opportunity for cancer prevention. That point is among the key findings of a survey conducted by experts from Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) and the State University of New York at Cortland (SUNY Cortland), results of which have been published online ahead of print in the Journal of American College Health.
“Historically, vaccines have dramatically reduced the toll for diseases such as polio and measles. The HPV vaccine is effective and protects against several common anogenital cancers, including cervical cancer as well as vaginal, vulvar, penile and anal cancers that are associated with oncogenic HPV types. This unique study affirms the importance of a clinician’s recommendation to get vaccinated,” says Martin Mahoney, MD, PhD, Professor of Oncology in the departments of Medicine and Health Behavior at Roswell Park and Professor, Department of Community Health and Health Behavior at the University at Buffalo.
More than 800 students from two northeastern U.S. colleges participated in an anonymous Internet-based survey that asked questions about health behaviors, knowledge of HPV and use of the HPV vaccines Cervarix and Gardasil, among others. Sixty percent of males and 59% of females said they would be guided by a clinician’s recommendations on HPV vaccination.
About 79 million Americans are currently infected with HPV. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all boys and girls ages 11 or 12 be vaccinated, with catchup vaccination of all unvaccinated persons up to age 26. There is no cure for HPV, just as there is no cure for the common cold. In most people, an HPV infection will clear up on its own, but can still be passed on to others. Each year, approximately 21,000 HPV-related cancers could be prevented by getting the HPV vaccine.
“These findings support the need to provide more comprehensive health education to adolescents and young adult males about the benefits of HPV vaccination,” adds co-author of the study, Sarah Beshers, PhD, Health Department at SUNY Cortland. “Given the effectiveness of these preventive HPV vaccines, efforts should focus on vaccinating pre-teens and adolescents.”
The study title is: “Sex Differences Among College Students in Awareness of the Human Papillomavirus Vaccine and Vaccine Options.” Dr. Mahoney reports that he has previously served on speakers’ bureaus for both Merck and GlaxoSmithKline related to the topic of HPV vaccination. The other authors have no conflicts of interest to report.

For applications where control switches or PLCs are not available for output contacts, the Bond-Rite® range is the best solution for maximising the safety of processes generating static in hazardous areas.
Encouraging operators to earth equipment before the process is initiated, a bright green LED flashes when it detects a low-resistance connection to the equipment.
Once connected, the Bond-Rite continuously monitors the ‘earth loop’ between the potentially charged equipment and designated earth point.
If the connection to equipment or earthed points are compromised, the LED will stop flashing, warning the operator of a potential static hazard.
The Bond-Rite range has been adapted for processes that require short-term earthing to processes where customers prefer 24/7 indication.
All Bond-Rite systems enable hazardous area operators to demonstrate best practice compliance with CLC/TR: 50404 and NFPA 77.
Products within the Bond-Rite range include:
- Bond-Rite CLAMP
- Bond-Rite REMOTE

Protesters in Braunschweig Germany took action against Volkswagen and the company’s links to Turkey. On the 7th of January activists blocked the entrance to VW’s facilities in the city calling on the company to respect the international boycott of the Turkish state.
Volkswagen is currently considering building a large-scale factory in Turkey which would represent a major boon for the Turkish state. The coming months before this decision is finalised then are likely to see more protests against the company.
The action comes after Volkswagen workers and their unions vowed to block the company’s expansion into Turkey.

SURVIVOR: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (Paramount, $40)
Very early in its debut 2000 season—around the time contestants ate rats—Survivor claimed its place as the most ingenious competition show ever (sorry, Beat the Clock). But watch it again on DVD when you already know who wins? Don't reality TV shows have the shelf life of an avocado? Turns out revisiting naked Richard and the rest of the Pulau Tiga gang is a hoot. Don't bother slogging through all 13 episodes. Skip right to the riveting two-hour finale: Rudy's $1 million immunity slipup, Sue's rats-and-snakes diatribe and Richard Hatch's gleeful villainy—if not his flabby anatomy—are all still compulsively watchable.
Extras: Audition tapes, behind-the-scenes" footage, a dull documentary and commentary from Richard, Rudy and host Jeff Probst, who tells how Richard led a near mutiny after learning the reward for one challenge would be a bottle of beer.
