Norway Is Overrun With Plastic-Covered Corpses That Refuse to Rot

Norway Is Overrun With Plastic-Covered Corpses That Refuse to Rot

Norway's got a major corpse problem that isn't going away anytime soon. Literally—they won't rot. What's the culprit behind this profusion of bodies that refuse to take their place in the circle of life? The same thing that's also working to keep your sandwich fresh: plastic wrap.

300 Sandwiches: The Secret To Boyfriend's Heart?

"Weekend Productivity" Mozzarella and Homemade Pesto BLT

What makes a guy put a ring on it? New York Post reporter Stephanie Smith hopes 300 sandwiches will be her answer.


It all started after one particularly tasty turkey sandwich she made for her boyfriend. Smith says that the sandwich was so good, he said, "You're, like, 300 sandwiches away from an engagement ring."


So Smith got cookin' and is sharing her journey of food and love through her blog, 300sandwiches.com. It features a daily gourmet sandwich recipe.


Critics have taken to social media, blasting her for twisting herself into a pretzel to please her man.


Host Michel Martin spoke with Smith about her blog, the criticism she's been receiving, and why she hasn't proposed.



Interview Highlights


Why Sandwiches


We had been dating for over a year and he had cooked many of the meals in our house and I just wasn't that strong in the kitchen. But the running joke between us was, the only thing he wanted was for me to make him sandwiches. So one day, I did.


On The Criticism


I encourage [critics] to read the blog, and read all of the stories that have taken us from sandwich one to now 179. ... It's not just a girl making all this food to earn a man's love. This is a journey between the two of us as we continue on towards engagement. And I don't think I'm less of a woman or a hard-charging career woman because I want to do something nice for my boyfriend.


'Make Me A Sandwich'


I've gotten so many great stories from people who have also bonded with loved ones, children or parents through food or particularly sandwiches. ...We use the phrase "make me a sandwich." It's like a euphemism for, you know, "give me a kiss," or "show me some lovin'" and I think people can start to use that in the same way.



Sandwich #130 - "Weekend Productivity" Mozzarella and Homemade Pesto BLT (from 300sandwiches.com)


2 buns or baguettes, cut into sandwich sized pieces (about 5" long)


2 cups fresh basil


1/3 cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese


2/3 cup olive oil


1/4 cup pine nuts


salt and pepper to taste


2 cloves garlic


1 squeeze lemon wedge


1/2 ball mozzarella, sliced


1/2 tomato, sliced


5-6 strips bacon


1 bunch arugula


2 more tablespoons olive oil (to dress arugula)


Make the pesto: in a food processor, combine basil, pine nuts, garlic, cheese, salt and pepper. Slowly add the olive oil as you blend the ingredients on medium speed in processor. Add juice from squeeze of lemon wedge and give pesto one last pulse to make sure lemon juice is evenly blended.


Fry bacon to desired crispness in a non-stick skillet on medium low heat. Remove from heat and drain grease from bacon on paper towel-lined plate. Toast baguette. Remove from heat and lay out on cutting board or plate. Dress arugula in a tablespoon of olive oil and salt and pepper.


Slather on pesto, then layer on arugula, tomato, then mozzarella, then a leaf or two of basil, then bacon. Top with a small dollop of pesto, then top with other slice of bread. Smush gently and serve. Makes two 5" BLTs.

Bank of America Hit by Another Discrimination ... - AOL Real Estate

Bank of America and foreclosed homes

The vacant property next door to Chicago resident Mae Campbell has cast a pall over her neighborhood of Austin for more than five years. The home, which she said was owned by Bank of America until very recently, has overgrown grass, water damage and boarded-up windows.

"We bought locks to chain it up to keep squatters out," Campbell said, referring to her and her neighbors' efforts to secure the home. "All of the pipe and wiring was taken out [by looters], all of the plumbing."

Campbell, who is black, lives in a minority neighborhood, and her tale of troubles with Bank of America-owned properties that have fallen into disrepair typifies a much wider problem facing minority communities across the country, according to the National Fair Housing Alliance.

The NFHA announced Tuesday that it has filed a third complaint with the Department of Housing and Urban Development against Bank of America, charging that the bank neglects its properties in minority neighborhoods while paying special attention to maintaining its homes in predominantly white neighborhoods.

The group's new complaint amends a previous one to add Chicago, Milwaukee and Indianapolis to a list of areas where the bank has allegedly discriminated against minorities through its management of bank-owned properties (an example one such home is pictured above). Two previous complaints identified California, Michigan, the East Coast, Orlando, Fla., and Charleston, S.C., as places with disparities in the way BofA maintained its foreclosures.

"Bank of America has an obligation -- a duty under federal law -- not to discriminate," Peter Romer-Friedman, counsel to the National Fair Housing Alliance, said at a press conference Tuesday. "Unfortunately, our investigation has revealed Bank of America has woefully failed to take care of its fair housing obligations ... when it comes to the maintenance and marketing of REO properties."

Bank of America did not respond to a request for comment.

The NFHA's amended complaint further expands an even wider anti-discrimination campaign that the group is waging against other major mortgage lenders, including Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank.

'The Banks Are Back -- Our Neighborhoods Are Not'

NFHA's allegations stem from an investigation that found that bank-owned homes (also known as real estate owned properties or REOs) in minority communities were much more likely to have maintenance or marketing deficiencies, such as broken windows, water damage, unkempt lawns and no for-sale signs.

"REO properties in communities of color generally appeared vacant, abandoned, blighted and unappealing to real estate agents who might market the unit to homebuyers," according to the NFHA report on the investigation, titled "The Banks Are Back -- Our Neighborhoods Are Not." "On the other hand, REOs in white communities generally appeared inhabited, well-maintained and attractive to real estate agents and homebuyers."

Bank of America and foreclosed homes, subject of National Fair Housing Alliance report In Chicago, an REO in a minority neighborhood is twice as likely to have trash on its lawn, twice as likely to have dead grass on more than 50 percent of its lot, nearly five times as likely to have damaged steps or handrails, and 12 times as likely to have damaged windows, according to Anne Houghtaling, executive director of the HOPE Fair Housing Center, which participated in the NFHA investigation.

On top of that, 80 percent of REOs in those neighborhoods also did not have for-sale signs, making it harder for them to attract possible buyers, she said.

It's easy to identify an REO in a minority neighborhood because "from a block away, you see the trash," Houghtaling said. "In the white communities, the only way you might know [that the home is a foreclosed property] is when you see a for-sale sign."

Much More Than Just an Eyesore

Campbell is well aware of how such neglect can drag down a neighborhood. She said that the property next to hers isn't just an eyesore, it has also damaged the value of her home and caused her homeowner's insurance to rise.

A report released Wednesday by the Center for Responsible Lending underscored the unfair penalty homeowners like Campbell pay for living next to foreclosures.


The study found that foreclosures' negative effect on neighboring homes' property values disproportionately impacts minorities. Minority-owned homes have lost $1 trillion in value since 2007 due to neighboring foreclosures, the report found, half of the total property value lost to such "foreclosure spillover costs."


Campbell said that she tried to purchase the home, but Bank of America never responded to her offer. Just two weeks ago, the home, which has not had a for-sale sign in the yard for years, sold to an investor, she said. And she said the same thing happened to another REO next door to her, selling for just $6,000.

"I, as a person that lived in the community, was denied the right to purchase it," she said. "I got nothing but the runaround."

And investors snapping up foreclosures is not always a good thing.

"Investors don't necessarily care about neighborhood vitality. A person who lives next door is more likely to care," Douglas Robinson, a spokesperson for NeighborWorks America, told AOL Real Estate. NeighborWorks rehabs foreclosures and then sells or rents them to low-income Americans.

Banks' failure to adequately market REOs makes it more likely that investors, who are more attractive buyers to banks because they pay cash, will purchase them at steep discounts.

"[Purchasing a foreclosure] takes wealth that was built up over generations" for minorities, said NFHA president Shanna L. Smith at Tuesday's news conference, "and redistributes it to investment firms."

An Expanding Campaign

The NFHA filed similar complaints against U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo before targeting Bank of America, partly because Bank of America had first initiated discussions with the NFHA aimed at heading off the possibility of a lawsuit.

But "Bank of America did not step up to the plate ... in maintaining and marketing REO properties," an NFHA spokesperson told AOL Real Estate. "When discussions break down, we take action."

The NFHA said that, to settle the complaints, banks must end their discriminatory management of REOs, provide relief to minority communities impacted by REOs and compensate the NFHA for their investigation.

How President Obama And Mitt Romney Compare On Student Loan Policy (INFOGRAPHIC)

At more than $1 trillion, there's more student loan debt than any other type of consumer debt in the United States.

But because of a 2005 law ushered through Congress by Republicans, student loans are the only type of debt that is nearly impossible to discharge in bankruptcy.

Members of the Obama administration have said Congress should rethink that rule, and who occupies the Oval Office for the next four years could have a huge impact on any attempt to change student loan policy.

Although student loan debt and policy weren't discussed much in the presidential debates, the good people at LawQA and BlueGlass Interactive, Inc. have come up with a handy infographic to break down some of the key differences between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney on student loan policy.

Sept. 11 trial rules under scrutiny at Guantanamo

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) ? A U.S. military judge is considering broad security rules for the war crimes tribunal of five Guantanamo prisoners charged in the Sept. 11 attacks, including measures to prevent the accused from publicly revealing what happened to them in the CIA's secret network of overseas prisons.

Prosecutors have asked the judge at a pretrial hearing starting Monday to approve what is known as a protective order that is intended to prevent the release of classified information during the eventual trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who has portrayed himself as the mastermind of the terror attacks, and four co-defendants.

Lawyers for the defendants say the rules, as proposed, will hobble their defense. The American Civil Liberties Union, which has filed a challenge to the protective order, says the restrictions will prevent the public from learning what happened to Mohammed and his co-defendants during several years of CIA confinement and interrogation.

The protective order requires the court to use a 40-second delay during court proceedings so that spectators, who watch behind sound-proof glass, can be prevented from hearing ? from officials, lawyers or the defendants themselves ? the still-classified details of the CIA's rendition and detention program.

"What we are challenging is the censorship of the defendant's testimony based on their personal knowledge of the government's torture and detention of them," said Hina Shamsi, an ACLU attorney who will be arguing against the protective order during the pretrial hearing at the U.S. base in Cuba.

The protective order, which is also being challenged by a coalition of media organizations that includes The Associated Press, is overly broad because it would "classify the defendants own knowledge, thoughts and experience," Shamsi said in an interview.

"It's a truly extraordinary and chilling proposal that the government is asking the court to accept," she said.

Protective orders are standard method in civilian and military trials to set rules for handling evidence for the prosecution and defense. Military prosecutors argue in court papers that the Sept. 11 trial requires additional security because the accused have personal knowledge of classified information such as interrogation techniques and knowledge about which other countries provided assistance in their capture.

"Each of the accused is in the unique position of having had access to classified intelligence sources and methods," the prosecution says in court papers. "The government, like the defense, must protect that classified information from disclosure."

Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, the chief prosecutor for the military commissions, said Sunday that the security precautions are necessary to prevent the release information that could harm U.S. intelligence operations or personnel around the world, and not to prevent embarrassing the government or to cover-up wrongdoing.

"Our government's sources and methods are not an open book," Martins said.

The U.S. government has acknowledged that before the defendants were taken to Guantanamo in September 2006 they were subjected to "enhanced interrogation techniques" such as the simulated drowning method known as water-boarding. Defense attorneys say the treatment will be used to form the basis of their defense but the proposed protective order limits their ability to make that case in court and in public advocacy on behalf of their clients.

"It's a way in which the government can hide what it did to these men during the period of detention by the CIA," said Army Capt. Jason Wright, a Pentagon-appointed attorney for Mohammed. "I think we need to bring the truth to the light of day on these issues."

The judge's approval of the protective order, which may not happen this week, must occur before the Sept. 11 case can move forward. Defense lawyers cannot begin to review classified evidence against their clients until it is in place.

The protective order is the most contentious of about two dozen preliminary motions scheduled to be heard during a pretrial hearing expected to run through Friday. Other matters include whether the defendants can be required to attend court sessions, what clothing they are allowed to wear and defense requests for additional resources for what is considered one of the most significant terrorism prosecutions in U.S. history.

The families of people killed in the Sept. 11 attacks have been invited to military installations in the U.S. states of New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland and New York City to watch the pretrial hearings, which are closed to the general public. An earlier round of hearings in May was also transmitted to viewing locations for relatives of the victims, survivors of the attacks, and emergency personnel who responded to the disaster.

Mohammed and his four co-defendants are being prosecuted in a special military tribunal for war-time offenses known as a military commission. They were arraigned May 5 on charges that include terrorism, conspiracy and 2,976 counts of murder in violation of the law of war, one count for each known victim of the Sept. 11 attacks at the time the charges were filed. They could get the death penalty if convicted.

Mohammed, a Pakistani citizen who grew up in Kuwait and attended college in North Carolina, has told military officials that he planned the Sept. 11 attacks "from A to Z" and was involved in about 30 other terrorist plots. He has said, among other things, that he personally beheaded Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. The other defendants are Ramzi Binalshibh; Walid bin Attash; Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi; and Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali.

Their arraignment was an unruly, 13-hour proceeding in which the defendants stalled proceedings by refusing the use the court translation system and ignoring the judge. Subsequent hearings to handle pretrial motions were postponed because of scheduling conflicts, the Muslim holy period of Ramadan and Tropical Storm Isaac. Several more pretrial hearings must be held to litigate hundreds of motions before the start of the trial, which is likely at least a year away.

Second act career

Dear Sam: I have been self-employed for 16 years as an Independent Manufacturers? Representative. The business has been successful and financially rewarding over the years, but due to industry consolidation and possible burn out on my end, I feel the need for a change. I would like to reenter corporate life, and not necessarily in my current Industry. I feel I have much to offer including experience in sales and marketing, business management, sales management, and?exposure to all facets of operating and owning a business. How would I market myself in this situation? I have been told that being self-employed for a good portion of your career?can be an obstacle to reentry. Any thoughts? ? Mik

Dear Mike: I work with, and speak to, a lot of clients seeking to return to corporate America, many of whom initiate the process for reasons similar to those you noted. I always explain to those clients that in order to overcome key barriers to reentry, they have to be very careful how they position independent or entrepreneurial engagements.

I first explain that entrepreneurs, or those that are self-employed, typically thrive in very flexible, independent roles, a structure that often doesn?t exist in most traditional corporate environments. Having said this, a hiring manager could fear that if employed, you would not be in an environment in which you would thrive. Additionally, if you took Entrepreneurial Skills 101, you would learn that entrepreneurs live for challenges, and once a challenge has been conquered they typically like to move on to the next opportunity. This doesn?t sit well with a hiring manager who either isn?t in a position to offer a challenge-based role, or needs someone to stick around for more than a couple of years.

Given these are some of the barriers you will have to overcome, let?s review how to do just that. I often use a combination format for my entrepreneurial clients, a format that allows for presentation of key achievements before the professional experience section and disclosure of self-employed status.

To start, begin your r?sum? with a strong qualifications summary specifically geared toward the opportunities you are interested in, being careful not to dilute the picture too much by presenting too many areas of expertise. Small business owners do possess a variety of skills?as they typically manage operations, accounting, sales, marketing, staffing, etc.?but finding a role in corporate America that will employ all of these talents isn?t likely. So, be careful not to present yourself as a jack-of-all-trades or an expert of everything, as suddenly you will dilute your experience and become an expert of nothing. Instead, thoroughly evaluate the opportunities that interest you and highlight related experiences, skills, and achievements. This may mean that you have to have a few modified versions of your r?sum?, although the changes won?t have to be extensive.

In the achievements section, highlight the value you provided in your past role. Answer questions such as: What were your sales results? How did you expand market share? How many products lines did you represent? How was your performance when benchmarked against other reps? How did you effectively manage numerous relationships? Use the answers to these questions to infuse your r?sum?, and this section, with personality and a strong presence on the page, leaving your day-to-day functions?and the presentation of your self-employed status?to fall to the bottom of page one or even page two. In the professional experience section, be careful not to present a summary focused on running a business, and instead focus the hiring manager?s attention on the functions you performed that directly relate to your current career goals.

The move back to the corporate world can be done, it just has to be approached carefully so you position yourself as a highly qualified candidate with strong related skills, versus an entrepreneur who thrives in roles requiring autonomy and the ability to manage all business functions. I certainly wish you all the best with the transition.

Take a look at the example I have presented of a combination format r?sum?. As you can see, the qualifications summary and select highlights sections take up the majority of page one of the r?sum?. Based on this approach, the 4-7-second screening process will be spent almost exclusively on these high-value areas of the r?sum?, leaving any potential disqualifiers hard to hide in the professional experience section, to fall to the end of page one.

How to Take Better Photos With Your Smartphone [Photography]

There's a large contingent of photo enthusiasts online who will dismiss a photo straight away if they find out it was taken with a smartphone. The rally cry of "get a real camera" can be heard echoing through the rafters of comment sections for many websites. We think everyone should have a dedicated camera, but a good photo is a good photo, regardless of the gear used to take it. More »

Why Europe needed the Nobel Peace Prize

It may seem odd timing to give the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize to the European Union. What?s to admire right now, one might ask?

Much of the continent is in recession. The eurozone could split up. Germany has doubts about its pivotal role. Britain, always the odd man out, feels even more out. Spain and Greece brace for more riots over imposed austerity. Turkey has all but given up joining this grand experiment.

Yet precisely because of such woes, the Nobel?s Norwegian committee was smart to remind Europeans of the power of gratitude in recognizing past successes as a way to help heal the current rifts and stresses. This year?s prize is both a slap on the back and a prod to count one?s blessings.

OPINION: Europe's debt crisis: 5 ways to put it to good use

Those blessings are often easy to forget.

The EU has prevented war like those of the 19th and 20th centuries among its 27 sovereignty-surrendering members. By integrating step by step, it has also expanded democracy, human rights, and prosperity ? and the ability to influence others to imitate or join that progress. Europe also has the largest economy, the most medals at the last Olympics, and the most desired tourist destinations.

Those achievements should not be neglected while the EU convulses over a big bump in the road ? a faltering common currency and swooning debts. It?s quite a feat to join up so many people of so many cultures in only six decades. Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East have hardly begun.

?The main message is that we need to keep in mind what we have achieved on this continent, and not let the continent go into disintegration again,? said Thorbj?rn Jagland, head of the Nobel committee, in announcing the peace prize.

Gratitude is less employed in affairs of state than it is in personal relations or religious worship. Yet it carries the same ability to hold to what is true and good during trying times, serving as a light in the dark.

Leaders of a nation in crisis often cite past achievements, but few call for public displays of gratitude. More should. The best example in history was Abraham Lincoln?s declaration for a regular Thanksgiving Day. He did that during the darkest days of the Civil War as a way to lift the Union?s thoughts above the violence to the eternal ideals it stood for and a common God.

OPINION: What if Britain left the EU?

This year?s peace prize could also serve another purpose. For too long, the EU has hung together for what it opposed ? a Soviet threat, a return to fascism or an aggressive Germany, or even to America?s global dominance. This negative identity isn?t enough to get it through a crisis like the current euro debacle. The EU must also promise more than shared wealth.

What unites Europe the most are shared principles of liberty, rights, and peace. The Nobel committee, made up of people from a country (Norway) outside the EU, lobbed a big ?thanks? to Europe, providing the light of gratitude to help the EU get out of its temporary thicket.

AMD could slash up to 30 percent of its workforce according to reports

AMD could slash up to 30 percent of its workforce according to reports

AllThingsD and CNET are reporting that 30 percent of AMD's workforce could be laid off, though one of several unnamed sources notes the cuts could be as low as 10 percent. If these reports hold true, this would be the second round of layoffs for AMD within a year's time. The reductions will reportedly affect the firm's engineering and sales employees, and may be serious enough to cause a paring back of product lines. The silicon giant could potentially reveal its plans as early as next week, which would coincide with the announcement of its third quarter financial results. With the company expecting a ten percent revenue drop in Q3, it looks like the latest figures will continue the trend of less than ideal results.
