An outbreak of Ebola that has already killed 70 people prompted Senegal to close its border with Guinea on Saturday in hopes of preventing the deadly virus from spreading.
Senegal officials closed the border, as well as a popular market that attracts people from the neighboring countries, according to the Associated Press.

Advertising watchdog TruthInAdvertising.org will launch its first national advertising campaign early next week aiming to get consumers to report false advertising and marketing.
Using humor to gain support, the spot features people uttering the kind of truths they normally wouldn’t dare say out loud, such as a man telling a woman her tush looks too big or a driver nonchalantly admitting to an officer that he’s been driving 20 miles over the speed limit. Folks are seen repeatedly singing “The truth’s not always easy…” with a closing message that drives home the point: “But in advertising, it’s the law.”
The ads were created by creative director Jonathan Cranin, formerly of McCann, who led MasterCard’s “Priceless” campaign and directed by Justin Reardon, who co-created Budweiser’s “Whassup” ads. They will run in display, digital, and video forms in major newspapers including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and USA Today, in addition to Google ads and social-media sites including YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. Zito Partners, New York, is the agency.

You might be all too familiar with the feeling of uncertainty. As traditional, linear career paths become a thing of the past, and structured, hierarchical organizations give way to flat and collaborative workplaces, there’s more and more responsibility on you to chart your own course. Especially when these situations have a lot of unknowns and their consequences are unpredictable, uncertainty looms larger than ever.

We can all agree that The Huffington Post does a lot of serious, worthy journalism, right? But I think we can also agree that HuffPo also does plenty of thoughtless, tossed-off, trashy non-journalism, often “aggregated” from other sources.
It’s the trashy content that Stephen Colbert, America’s greatest living patriot and media critic, targets in our Clip of the Week. In a segment from Tuesday night’s “The Colbert Report,” he takes HuffPo to task for promoting a story with the headline “College Students Warm Up To The Back Door.”
“Obviously,” says Colbert, “that provocative teaser is just clickbait and it could mean anything. But it means exactly what you think it means.” Yes, HuffPo took on the topic of anal sex on America’s college campuses. “Huffington Post broke this story,” says Colbert, “by rolling up their sleeves and doing the kind of reporting that won them the Pulitzer Prize two years ago: They paraphrased a college newspaper column from Washington State University.”

AUSTIN, Texas — Tech conference veterans call it Stuff We All Get, or SWAG. But a more accurate name might be Stuff We All Get — And Never Use
Companies typically give swag away to media and other attendees. Socks, hats, T-shirts, ponchos — most of the freebies end up in the attic, if not the trash. But one tech company at SXSW has cleverly turned the custom on its head. In the process, they up with one of the most provocative innovations we’ve ever seen at the interactive festival
