“Sometimes, when we’re laying together, I look at her and I feel dizzy with the realization that here is another distinct person from me, who has memories, origins, thoughts, feelings that are different from my own. That tension between familiarity and mystery meshes something strong between us.
Even if one builds a life together based on trust, attentiveness and mutual support, I think that it’s important that a partner continues to surprise.” — Barack Obama (on Michelle)

Needles Found In Sandwiches On 4 Delta Flights
Needles Found in Sandwiches on 4 Delta Flights - Needles Found in Sandwiches, Delta Air Lines Inc. and the FBI are trying to figure out how needles got into turkey sandwiches served aboard four flights from Amsterdam. One passenger was injured.
The airline said that what appear to be sewing needles were found in five sandwiches on Sunday. One passenger on a flight to Minneapolis was injured, but the passenger declined to get medical attention, according to Delta spokeswoman Kristin Baur.

The FBI's Atlanta office has opened a criminal investigation into the matter, the agency said in a written statement. An FBI spokesman in Atlanta did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment.
Baur said flight attendants stopped serving the sandwiches as soon as the needle was discovered. Messages went out to other flights en route from Amsterdam, where the sandwiches had been prepared by a catering company. Another sandwich served on the Minneapolis-bound flight also had a needle, Baur said.
After the needles were found, passengers got pizza instead.
Baur said security for its meal production has been increased and it is using more prepackaged food while the investigation continues.
"Delta is taking this matter extremely seriously and is cooperating with local and federal authorities who are investigating the incident. Delta has taken immediate action with our in-flight caterer at Amsterdam to ensure the safety and quality of the food we provide onboard our aircraft," the airline said in a written statement.
The sandwiches were made in the Amsterdam kitchen of catering company Gate Gourmet, and were to be served to business class passengers on Delta flights.
Gate Gourmet spokeswoman Christina Ulosevich said the company has gotten no reports of similar incidents on any of the other airlines it serves out of Amsterdam. She said the company did not yet know how the needles got into the sandwiches.
Gate Gourmet issued a statement saying, "We take this matter very seriously, and we have launched our own full-scale investigation." It also said it was "heightening our already stringent safety and security procedures, to prevent any recurrence."

Dark Knight Rises Cheat Sheet
Dark Knight Rises Cheat Sheet - “The Dark Knight Rises” is a monumental, satisfying summation to Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster trilogy of Batman films. That, at least, is the consensus from the first round of reviews of the July 20 release. Warner Bros. has been screening the film quietly for a week or so, and the studio’s embargo on advance reactions was lifted, appropriately enough for a movie about a crime-fighter who prefers to lurk in the darkness, in the dead of night.
And when those who’d seen the film were free to write about it, the results for the most part were unqualified raves. dark knight rises trivia,
The Hollywood Reporter called it “big-time Hollywood filmmaking at its most accomplished.” The Playlist says it’s “critically important for America itself.” Predicted Variety, “Global [box-office] domination awaits.”
As Batman’s TV sidekick might have said back in the ’60s, “Holy hyperbole, Batman!” christian bale age,
And to borrow another catchphrase from that version of the Caped Crusader, Nolan sets his third film in a new Bat-time (eight years after the events of “The Dark Knight”) but he’s back on the same Bat-channel – which is to say, a characteristically doom-laden, haunted look at a man tortured by the double life he’s driven to lead. Dark Knight Rises rave reviews,
TheWrap will have reactions, a review by Alonso Duralde and more over the next few days – for now, I’ll just say that “The Dark Knight Rises” is dark and majestic, deliberate but thrilling. The two-hour-and-44-minute film has flaws, and it misses the sense of crazy fun that Heath Ledger’s Joker brought to Nolan’s second film, “The Dark Knight.” But it feels like a grand finale, and grand is an appropriate word. mitt romney bain bayne dark knight,
In the first North American review, which jumped the gun by three hours by going up at midnight Eastern time rather than midnight Pacific, Canadian critic Bruce Kirkland summed it up in his headline: “‘Dark Knight’ rises to perfect ending.” news: dark knight rises critic death threat,
The film, he wrote, “is a spectacular and thrilling conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy,” wrote Kirkland, who later added, “For audiences who want smart storytelling with their adrenaline rush, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ … is as profoundly moving as it is dynamic.”

Johnny Depp Engaged To Jennifer Grey
Johnny Depp Engaged To Jennifer Grey - It has been rumored for months but now it is declared to be official: Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis have broken up. The couple, who never married, confirmed their split in a brief statement given by Depp’s publicist. The American actor and the French model have been together for 14 years and they have two lovely children, Lily Rose and Jack.
“Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis have amicably separated. Please respect their privacy and, more importantly, the privacy of their children,” Johnny Depp’s publicist stated. The announcement marks the end of a romance that began in 1998 when Depp and Paradis met on the set of the supernatural thriller “The Ninth Gate.”
Even though the couple never really got married, Paradis was recently spotted wearing a diamond ring which was described as the size of the Ritz according to the “Guardian.”
For years, Depp and Paradis lived with what looked like an idyllic life by traveling between their island in the Bahamas, their villa near Saint-Tropez to France and their several other homes. In 2004, Depp told OK! magazine during an interview that a deep kind of love resulting in children cannot be planned.
“Fatherhood was not a conscious decision but now I have become the perfect example of all the paternity clichĂ©s I laughed at for years. I look forward to having more children. I’d have a hundred if Vanessa were willing,” the actor shared.
However, rumors started to spread and circulate that the couple’s relationship had suffered after they moved in to California from France. Just last month, Depp even denied the talk of a split. “The rumors are not true,” he said. “I can’t say enough about it not being over,” Depp added.
Before that, Depp also had a long string of romances in the past. The actor married and then divorced makeup artist Lori Anne Allison. Depp was engaged to actresses Jennifer Grey and Sherilyn Fenn.
Then, Depp also proposed to a 17-year-old Winona Ryder back then while having a tattoo that says “Winona Forever” on his arm to which he famously had altered to “Wino Forever” after their breakup. Afterwards, Depp dated model Kate Moss for four years before meeting Vanessa Paradis.

Park China Miniskirt Half Price Entry
Park China Miniskirt Half Price Entry - A PARK in southern China is offering half-price entry to women wearing skirts shorter than 38 centimeters – an offer that has infuriated local residents. The Guilin Merryland Resort in Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is holding a “Love Miniskirts” campaign over the next two months.

“The stipulation aims to encourage female visitors to showcase their beauty in summer,” said Li Wenxing, deputy manager of the park, one of the country’s major tourist attractions.
Li said the activity had been held annually since 2007 and had been a great success. Visitor numbers, both men and women, soared during the campaign, he said.
The park also holds a water-splashing festival during the campaign where visitors can throw water over each other, including the miniskirted women. That attracted even more visitors, Li said.
But many Guilin residents have criticized the campaign as vulgar and catering to people’s lowest tastes in a bid to make money.
A resident surnamed Yao said the park was encouraging women to behave erotically to attract visitors.
Others wondered if the park would be offering free entrance if the women wore much less, or nothing at all.
“We have been hearing negative comments about the campaign since we launched it, but their numbers are decreasing every year,” Li said.
Zhuang Zhiming, a lawyer with Jiangsu Fazhize Law Firm, said: “I don’t encourage this kind of activity, nor do I oppose it because it violates no laws or rules.”

Beginning in August, the city is set to offer panhandlers up to $75 a week to stop begging and foster problem puppies from city animal shelters until the pups are ready for adoption.
The pilot program is called Wonderful Opportunities for Occupants and Fidos, or WOOF. It’s believed to be the first of its kind in the country. The program will pair ten dogs with people living in city housing, allowing the dogs to be socialized. San Francisco panhandling puppies, PETA Bribes San Francisco to End Puppy Panhandling Program,
But PETA claims that the program would put the animals at risk. They issued a statement which read, in part:
“The city is in essence experimenting with the lives of homeless animals and people. Many chronic panhandlers battle with addiction and mental health issues; dogs won’t be able to tell us if they were harshly scolded, randomly screamed at, smacked, scruffed, locked in a bathroom or closet, or otherwise mistreated.”

Center For HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology (CHAVI)
Center For HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology (CHAVI) - A large federal grant awarded to Duke University will fund a highly focused program to discover how to induce the precise immune factors needed for effective vaccines against HIV. Barton Haynes, M.D., will be the Duke director of the seven-year grant for the Duke Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology-Immunogen Discovery (CHAVI-ID).
Haynes previously led the original Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology (CHAVI) consortium, the grant for which just ended in June 2012. Center for HIV/AIDS Vaccine Immunology (CHAVI),

Scripps Research Institute was also selected as a second center to receive CHAVI-ID grant funding.
The CHAVI-ID initiative overall may receive as much as $186 million or more over seven years. Duke may receive more than $139 million in total over the same time period. HIV 34 million,
“Duke is deeply honored to be selected again, as we now build on all the progress made in the initial CHAVI grant and now focus the effort on design of immunogens capable of preventing HIV transmission and protecting people worldwide,” said Victor J. Dzau, M.D., Chancellor for Health Affairs and CEO of Duke University Health System. Merck's experimental AIDS vaccine fails,
NIAID originally established CHAVI in response to recommendations of the Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise, a virtual consortium endorsed by world leaders at a G-8 summit in June 2004.
“We were privileged to have the CHAVI grant over the past seven years, and the work in this consortium helped us understand what needed to be done to make a successful AIDS vaccine,” said Haynes, who is also director of the Duke Human Vaccine Institute and the Frederic M. Hanes Professor of Medicine and Immunology. “The CHAVI-Immunogen Discovery grant will be used to learn how to do what we need to do.”
The CHAVI-ID grant now will focus on projects that are critical to creating the most effective vaccines for prevention, Haynes said.
Members of the Duke CHAVI-ID Scientific Leadership Group and their participating institutions who submitted the grant with Haynes are Andrew McMichael of Oxford University, UK; George Shaw, University of Pennsylvania; Bette Korber of Los Alamos National Laboratory; Garnett Kelsoe at Duke; and Joseph Sodroski and the late Norman Letvin of Harvard University.

Charlie Sheen and USO Donation
Charlie Sheen and USO Donation - The "Anger Management" star announced Monday that he will donate $1 million to the United Service Organizations (USO), which will go toward an entertainment facility for injured troops in Bethesda, Md.
The donation will mark the largest single contribution from an individual in the organization's history. Charlie Sheen and USO Donation,
"It's an honor for me to be able to give back to these men and women of the military who have done so much for all of us," Sheen said of the donation. "They put their lives on the line for us every day, and I'm just happy that my work on 'Anger Management' can bring a little bit of relief to the troops and their families."
The actor has pledged to donate 1 percent of the profits from his FX comedy "Anger Management" to the USO, with a guaranteed $1 million minimum.
The first installment of $250,000 will be donated in a private ceremony next week.
"The USO would like to thank Charlie Sheen for his very generous $1 million donation to our Operation Enduring Care Campaign and his interest in helping us lift the spirits of those who have endured so much to protect the freedoms we enjoy daily," Gen. John I. Pray Jr., executive vice president and joint chief of staff for the U.S. Air Force, said of the donation. "His support is greatly appreciated, especially from our wounded warriors and their families."
The actor has been making efforts to harness his star power for philanthropic ends recently. Last week, Sheen entertained "American Idol" executive producer Nigel Lythgoe's suggestion that he should become a judge on the singing competition, noting that he'd be up for it on the conditions that a) FX gave him the green light and b) "Idol" makes a significant donation to charity.
"If the numbers move the needle and 'Idol' matches 20 percent of my weekly salary for Autism Speaks, [the diabetes charity] JDRF, and the Boys and Girls Club ... then the hell with it. As we say, pour the smoke," told TMZ.
Last October, Forbes named Sheen the highest-paid actor on TV, noting that he'd raked in $40 million between May 2010 and May 2011.

Best And Worst Paying Jobs
Best And Worst Paying Jobs - People’s career choices should be based on passion over paychecks-and that’s especially true for those who are educating America’s youth. But even if you’re pursuing a profession in education for the all right reasons-a desire to enrich the lives of students, you value the intangible rewards, you strive to give back to society and make a difference, etc.-you still have to wonder which are the highest- and lowest-paying positions in the field. And that’s not a bad thing, says Beverly Hardcastle Stanford, professor emeritus at Azusa Pacific University and co-author of Becoming a Teacher.
“People planning to go into education shouldn’t feel guilty about wanting to know which jobs or which states pay the best, because it is important to know that” she says. “But they should never base their decision to pursue, or not to pursue a job in education on the money. You need a better reason, like because you love kids and you want to make a difference in their lives. Those who work doing something they find meaningful get much more satisfaction than those who work for money. Teachers can change lives and it can be extremely rewarding.”
Forbes sifted through the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates to find the very best- and worst-paying education jobs in America. The BLS survey, which reflects May 2011 salary and employment data, calculates annual pay by multiplying an hourly mean wage by a “year-round, full-time” 2,080 hours. For those occupations where there is not an hourly mean wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported survey data. These estimates are calculated with data collected from employers in all industry sectors for over 800 occupations.
We looked at the wage estimates for all 61 jobs in the Education, Training, and Library Occupations group to determine the highest- and lowest-paying positions.
It turns out most of the well-paying positions are postsecondary teaching jobs, for which a master’s degree or PhD is usually required. The lower-paying jobs tend to include those involving younger children or positions outside of the classroom. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t rewarding.

Colorado Dentist And HIV Risk
Colorado Dentist And HIV Risk - A Colorado dentist and oral surgeon put his patients at risk for contracting HIV and hepatitis due to unsafe injection practices, and state officials are set to notify patients who saw Dr. Stephen Stein over a 12-year period to inform them of their risk.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment stressed that “there have been no infections linked” to the offices of Dr. Stein, who practiced oral surgery in Highlands Ranch, Colo., and Denver.
The state said patients who received IV medications, including sedation, at Dr. Stein’s offices “may have been exposed to HIV, hepatitis B and/or hepatitits C.”
State officials learned of the HIV risk the dentist may have exposed his patients to following a report of unsafe injection practices at his offices.
“Upon investigation, it was determined syringes and needles used to inject medications through patients’ IV lines were saved and used again to inject medications through other patients’ IV lines,” the agency said in a statement. “This practice has been known to transmit infections.”

Anthony Kiedis Talks About Cher
Anthony Kiedis Talks About Cher - Rocker ANTHONY KIEDIS has constantly been the envy of his pals – because he once shared a bed with CHER when he was just a teenager. The RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS star got to know the BELIEVE singer during his school years, because his father’s ex-girlfriend went out with Cher’s former partner SONNY BONO.
He explains, “I was 13 or 14 and Sonny and my father’s girlfriend CONNIE went out for the night.
“Cher was staying home and they asked her if she would watch me for the night. She said, ‘Yeah, he can stay in bed and you guys get home at three in the morning, come pick him up and take him away.’
“So I was laying there in the bed, I was like, ‘This is very wonderful ’cause I like this woman and she’s beautiful and she’s older and I’m young,’ and I’m just starting to have these feelings.
“She goes into the bathroom to change and the door kind of goes open. I’m going, ‘Okay, I can see her now. She’s undressing.’ She undressed and I was just there being very elated by the experience. She put on her nightie and she came to bed and we had a little chat.”

Kobe Talks Retirement
Kobe Talks Retirement - The thought first hit Kobe Bryant when the Lakers lost to the Boston Celtics in the 2008 NBA Finals — maybe Shaquille O’Neal was right. “I thought maybe I can’t win a title without Shaq. I thought that is my one opportunity and I blew it,” Bryant said. The Lakers’ Kobe Bryant talks in an interview with Yahoo!Sports’ Graham Bensinger.
History and Bryant, of course, proved Shaq wrong as the Lakers won two titles without the Big Diesel. But that is just one topic Bryant touches on in a wide-ranging interview with Yahoo!Sports’ Graham Bensinger.
Bryant said that the Celtics not only provided him with one of his lowest moments,but also one of the greatest in his 17-year career. Of all the games he has played since joining the NBA at age 17, rallying from a 15-point deficit in Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals to win his fifth championship remains his greatest highlight.
“That was the hardest one,” Bryant said, pointing out that the victory came against four future Hall-of-Famers.
Bryant also reflected on the effects the dismissed sexual assault charges had on him in 2002. He said facing criminal charges changed his outlook on himself and what’s really important in life.
“That’s real pressure,” he said. “That’s life pressure. That’s not a game-winning shot where if you make it, you win and if you don’t you don’t. That (facing possible jail time) is real pressure. ”
Bryant, 34, also held fast to a comment he made during his first NBA season when he said that at age 35 he would be retired and “relaxing with his family overseas.”
“That’s still probably accurate. I don’t know if I will play longer than that,” he told Bensinger, adding that there are several things he can no longer do at his age.
“I don’t have the same motor,” he said.
