“The World Food Pro­gramme (WFP) is clos­ing 12 feed­ing cen­tres for moth­ers and chil­dren in Soma­lia. The WFP says it has sim­ply run out of money and now has to make cuts. The deci­sion has been made despite the ongo­ing cri­sis in Soma­lia, and the WFP says the reduc­tions are now hit­ting peo­ple across east Africa.”

“Echo­ing the opin­ions of many experts, Mr. Smith said “look­ing for pointy objects” at secu­rity is largely a waste of time, because increased pas­sen­ger vig­i­lance and for­ti­fied cock­pit doors make it unlikely that any­one armed with noth­ing more than a blade will ever again be able to com­man­deer a plane.” I totally agree.

“Today, exactly two years after launch­ing at TechCrunch40, I’m excited to announce that we have signed a defin­i­tive agree­ment to be acquired by Intuit, mak­ers of Quicken, Quick­Books, and Tur­b­o­Tax, for approx­i­mately $170 mil­lion. It’s a great oppor­tu­nity that could bring Mint.com’s unique approach to per­sonal finan­cial man­age­ment to mil­lions more con­sumers and small busi­nesses as well as the 1,800 banks and credit unions ser­viced by Intuit. Expect all of this good­ness to increase after the acqui­si­tion closes. And yes, expect Mint.com to remain free!” I really hope mint stays the same.
