firstly, I don't think grim reapers are bad or devil (they are skelotons). They are very important because imagine a world with no death? :)

When you don't want to feel, death can seem like a dream. But seeing death, really seeing it, makes dreaming about it f'in ridiculous. Maybe, there's a moment growing up when something peels back... Maybe, maybe, we look for secrets because we can't believe our minds...-Girl Interrupted

Robbery reported at Union Park

Des Moines police are investigating a reported Thursday evening robbery at Union Park.

Jarrett Hall, 21, ended up in the hospital but told police the wallet the robbers got away with didn?t have any cash in it, authorities said.

According to police, Hall and his girlfriend went to leave Union Park around 7 p.m. As he climbed into the driver?s seat of his car, two men approached, one from the driver?s side and the other from the passenger?s. One was apparently wearing a mask and the other had sunglasses on his face.

The man on the driver?s side demanded money and pointed a gun at Hall through the car?s open window, police said. When Hall didn?t provide any cash, the suspect hit him on the top of the head with the butt of the gun, causing a laceration to the top of his head that began bleeding, authorities said.

Hall handed over his wallet, which contained no money, and both men ran away.

Hall?s girlfriend drove him to the hospital and he called police.

No suspects are listed in the police report.

Like Square But For Corporations: mPowa Launches New Dongle Payment Service In U.S.

Add one more company to the ranks of hopefuls that want to own the space where dongles and mobiles are used for card-based payments. mPowa, a UK-based startup, is launching in the U.S. today with a solution that looks a lot like Square,?Here from PayPal, and others. But while Square and the rest currently target smaller merchants that do not have card facilities already, mPowa is first going after bigger fish: the large enterprises that do. "Our main focus are those businesses who already take cards but lack the mobile point of sale facilities to make transactions on the go, the Whirlpools or charities of the world," Dan Wagner, the founder and CEO, told me in an interview earlier today. "Now they can make home visits or collect money anywhere." And that's not the only difference. The service works on devices covering four different platforms: iOS, Android, BlackBerry and Windows, another way to aim for mass coverage.

Moderate coffee consumption offers protection against heart failure, study suggests

ScienceDaily (June 26, 2012) ? While current American Heart Association heart failure prevention guidelines warn against habitual coffee consumption, some studies propose a protective benefit, and still others find no association at all. Amidst this conflicting information, research from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center attempts to shift the conversation from a definitive yes or no, to a question of how much.

"Our results did show a possible benefit, but like with so many other things we consume, it really depends on how much coffee you drink," says lead author Elizabeth Mostofsky, MPH, ScD, a post-doctoral fellow in the cardiovascular epidemiological unit at BIDMC. "And compared with no consumption, the strongest protection we observed was at about four European, or two eight-ounce American, servings of coffee per day."

The study published June 26 online in the journal Circulation: Heart Failure, found that these moderate coffee drinkers were at 11 percent lower risk of heart failure.

Data was analyzed from five previous studies -- four conducted in Sweden, one in Finland -- that examined the association between coffee consumption and heart failure. The self-reported data came from 140,220 participants and involved 6,522 heart failure events.

In a summary of the published literature, the authors found a "statistically significant J-shaped relationship" between habitual coffee consumption and heart failure, where protective benefits begin to increase with consumption maxing out at two eight-ounce American servings a day. Protection slowly decreases the more coffee is consumed until at five cups, there is no benefit and at more than five cups a day, there may be potential for harm.

It's unclear why moderate coffee consumption provides protection from heart failure, but the researchers say part of the answer may lie in the intersection between regular coffee drinking and two of the strongest risk factors for heart failure -- diabetes and elevated blood pressure.

"There is a good deal of research showing that drinking coffee lowers the risk for type 2 diabetes, says senior author Murray Mittleman, MD, DrPH, a physician in the Cardiovascular Institute at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and director of BIDMC's cardiovascular epidemiological research program. "It stands to reason that if you lower the risk of diabetes, you also lower the risk of heart failure."

There may also be a blood pressure benefit. Studies have consistently shown that light coffee and caffeine consumption are known to raise blood pressure. "But at that moderate range of consumption, people tend to develop a tolerance where drinking coffee does not pose a risk and may even be protective against elevated blood pressure," says Mittleman.

This study was not able to assess the strength of the coffee, nor did it look at caffeinated versus non-caffeinated coffee.

"There is clearly more research to be done," says Mostofsky. "But in the short run, this data may warrant a change to the guidelines to reflect that coffee consumption, in moderation, may provide some protection from heart failure."

Other study authors are Megan Rice, Sc.D., and Emily Levitan, Sc.D.

The research was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health.

Emma Stone Attracted To Gwen Stacy's 'Spider-Man' Tragedy

'That is so shocking and horrifying and kind of beautiful in some way,' actress tells MTV News of her character's tragic end in the comics.
By Kevin P. Sullivan, with reporting by Josh Horowitz

The news of Emma Stone's casting in "The Amazing Spider-Man" was first met with almost universal approval. She would be the perfect Mary Jane Watson, fans thought. But when her true role as Gwen Stacy became clear, there was almost a bittersweet understanding.

If Gwen is remembered for one thing, it is her death at the hands of the Green Goblin.

When MTV News' Josh Horowitz spoke with the actress, she told him that the tragic end for the character was what initially drew her into the project. "That was part of the reason why I was kind of drawn to the role, that mark on pop-culture history," she said. "I read all about Gwen, and I thought that was so amazing."

Even with Gwen's death as an iconic moment in comic book history, canon is constantly rewritten for film adaptations. Stone sought answers from the filmmakers as to whether the film version of Gwen would respect the book, and she was pleased with the response.

"I spoke to the people behind the movie, and they said, 'Yeah, we're planning on staying true to the comics.' And I was like, 'If you're making a movie like this, that's something I want to be a part of,' " Stone said. "That is so shocking and horrifying and kind of beautiful in some way. The fact that people unsubscribed and burned their copies — I like anything that causes some kind of upheaval."

Her director Marc Webb couldn't say whether Stone's version of Gwen would meet the same fate in an upcoming installment, but he couldn't deny the allure of working with that moment. "I think that remains to be seen, but let me tell you this: The ultimate tragedy of Gwen Stacy is a really provocative and powerful part of the Spider-Man canon," he said. "I think it would be really extraordinary to explore that, but I don't want to take the wind out of the drama."

Stocks slump amid worries over Europe

By Patrick Rizzo

Concerns about the European debt crisis slammed stocks Monday, shaving at least 1 percent off the major indexes.

Just after midday the Dow Jones industrial average was down 1.2 percent, while the broader S&P 500 shed 1.7 percent and the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 1.9 percent.

Europe's crisis, and especially worries about Spanish banks, held investors in thrall again. Spain officially asked the European Union for help to shore up its banks, which have been hit hard by rising bad loans caused by a slumping real estate market. There was very little detail about how much aid Spain would be requesting, and the uncertainty raised concerns among investors. ?

The news from Spain comes days before European Union officials are set to meet to discuss how to staunch the debt crisis in Europe that threatens to push the continent back into recession and perhaps stifle growth in the U.S., China and other parts of the world. Investors are concerned that EU officials will not be able to come up with a deal to restore confidence in the 17-nation eurozone's ability to manage its finances.

Besides Spanish banks, the EU summit Thursday and Friday was also set to look at Greece's problems and discuss the tough austerity package imposed on it as a condition for economic aid. But those planned?discussions were dealt a setback with news that both Prime Minister Antonis Samaras and incoming Finance Minister Vassilis Rapanos would miss the summit due to health problems. Rapanost resigned after being hospitalized for several days, before he could be sworn in, after complaining about dizziness and abdominal pains.

In U.S. markets, U.S. bank stocks felt the brunt of the rising anxiety?as investors fled them amid worries about their exposure to European banks.

"When the dollar rallies, almost everything else goes down," says Art Cashin, UBS, discussing growing concerns of a global slowdown, as investors take flight to safety.

Man robs bank, drives to police station, confesses

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) ? A suburban Portland man says he was so moved by a documentary exploring the cause of the Great Recession that he decided to rob a bank.

But apparently the film didn't make enough of an impression for the 50-year-old Gresham man to keep the loot.

The Oregonian (http://is.gd/g9xtwS) reports that Raymond Carl Knudson pleaded guilty Monday to sticking up a Bank of America branch in April, a crime he confessed within minutes of committing.

According to court documents, Knudson entered the bank and handed over a robbery note. Then he drove to the Gresham Police Department carrying all $425 of the loot and confessed.

He told investigators he felt compelled to rob the bank after watching "Inside Job."

He's scheduled for sentencing Sept. 10.
