Americans seeking medical marijuana for anything from pain to seizures must turn to a patchwork of small startups for help as U.S. laws keep traditional pharmacies out of a market that may exceed $6 billion by 2019.
While more than 21 states have legalized pot for medicinal use, the drug remains illegal under federal law and banks are hesitant to accept money from its sale. That's keeping drugstore chains CVS Caremark, Walgreen and Rite Aid, out of the market, leaving local entrepreneurs in control.
"We aren't going to see a big guy enter this market within the next few years," said David Yang, an analyst with research firm IBISWorld. "There are just too many regulations and too many elements that make this impossible for them."
In one state alone, Colorado, more than 400 companies are licensed as medical marijuana centers, with government officials predicting sales there could soon reach $1 billion. For Colorado businessman Kayvan Khalatbari, a former electrical engineer who started his business with just $4,000, federal limitations on the drug are a major benefit.
Khalatbari, who has poured $500,000 into pot production and $150,000 into a store, started in the industry by delivering medical marijuana door to door. This year, he expects sales of almost $2 million, which may rise to $5 million once he can also begin selling the drug commercially under Colorado law, he said.
"We're making money, we're employing people, we're being a beacon of light for this industry and showing it can be done professionally," Khalatbari said in a telephone interview. "That to me is a success."
Traditional pharmacies, meanwhile, face a hurdle that keeps them from competing with entrepreneurs like Khalatbari. Even though almost half of states and the District of Columbia accept the drug's use for medical purposes, marijuana isn't deemed legal by the federal government. The drug is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, defined as having a high potential for abuse with no accepted medical use.
Schedule 1 drugs, which includes heroin, can't by law be prescribed or dispensed. Pharmacies must register with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency to dispense controlled substances, making it illegal for them to sell medical marijuana.
Walgreen, Rite Aid and CVS said in separate statements they have no plans to sell medical marijuana. Doing so, according to CVS spokeswoman Carolyn Castel, would violate the company's registration with the DEA.
That may change if the U.S. Congress sees taxes on the drug as a way to raise money, said Brad Barker, an analyst with Bloomberg Industries in New York.
"The second this is legalized they will start rolling out the marijuana cigarettes the next day," Barker said. "I think the same thing can be said with everything else. Then you'll have all the big boys jumping into this space."
More pharmacies would sell medical marijuana if drug companies created cannabis products that can be approved by federal regulators, like drugs or tobacco products, said Mark Kleiman, a professor of public policy at the University of California at Los Angeles School of Public Affairs.
"It's not drug stores that have to make these decisions, its pharmaceutical companies that have to decide if they want to make cannabis products," Kleiman said in a telephone interview. Eventually, that could fuel a "big threat to the medical dispensary business model."
Existing pharmaceutical cannabis products include Marinol, a prescription pill made with synthetic cannabinoid for uses including treating nausea associated by chemotherapy, sold by AbbVie, and Sativex, a spray form of marijuana produced by GW Pharmaceuticals, a Britain-based medical marijuana research and development company. Sativex isn't available in the U.S.
Shareholders are already investing in publicly traded marijuana companies like GW Pharmaceuticals and Advanced Cannabis Solutions, a company that leases growing facilities to licensed growers and dispensaries. Barker said he's tracking 160 public marijuana companies.
American depositary receipts for GW Pharmaceuticals have increased more than sevenfold in the past 12 months to $69.77, raising the company's market capitalization to $1.24 billion. Shares of Colorado Springs, Colorado-based Advanced Cannabis Solutions, with a market value of about $210 million, has risen more than ninefold to $15.75.
Next Gen Metals Inc., a mineral exploration company, is among the investors preparing to put private capital into marijuana startups.
"You can certainly believe the large industries, the large pharmaceutical companies, that they're looking into it," Jay Oness, Next Gen's chief operating officer, said. "When the time is right, I'm positive they'll want to be a part of it either through acquisitions or by themselves."
Until legalization or more products are marketed by pharmaceutical companies, it will be an industry dominated by small dispensaries set up to serve about 1.4 million medical marijuana cardholders using the drug to treat their symptoms.
Three states allow medical marijuana companies to make a profit from the sale of pot. The remaining 18 states that approve of the use of medical marijuana require distribution only by nonprofit organizations and cooperatives, according to the Marijuana Policy Project.

Sunburn isn't the only sign of summer that can leave you itchy and blistered
You've got a rash. You quickly rule out the usual suspects: You haven't been gardening or hiking or even picnicking, so it's probably not a plant irritant such as poison ivy or wild parsnip; likewise, it's probably not chiggers or ticks carrying Lyme disease; and you haven't been swimming in a pond, which can harbor the parasite that causes swimmer's itch.

A blogger friend of mine told me that his wish is to have 500 unique readers per day on his personal site within the next six months. This is a very ambitious goal that is not an easy goal to reach as most sites will never attract this large audience. Even though it is a hard goal to reach, it is definitely possible to do and is a great challenge. Here are my tips on how to attract your initial group of visitors so that you're not just talking to yourself and set yourself on the way to 500 or even more unique visitors per day.
The tips are split in on-site tips (things you should do on your site) and off-site tips (things you should do outside your site).
On-site traffic driving tips
- Get a domain name
Search engines can be a valuable driver of traffic and for that reason you should get a domain name that will help you rank. In my experience a unique and descriptive domain name has proven to work better than one of those free domain names that many choose to use. Here's a guide on picking your name.
- Produce quality content
Regularly produce valuable content that your target audience wants. When possible try to make the content timeless. It can be entertaining, it can be educational, text-based, in video format – whatever makes your audience tick (i.e. whatever makes them read it, engage with it and share it with their networks). One quality post will mean so much more to your traffic numbers than several unoriginal posts. For me personally how-to guides and other educational posts with practical advice work well. Check out my guide on creating quality content.
- Include share buttons
Allow your existing visitors to help you out and spread the word for you. This is the best way to reach more people. Include Twitter share button, Facebook "Like" button and any other "share" button that is relevant to your audience on each of your posts. This is easiest done with one of many free WordPress plugins. For example Twitter Facebook Social Share one.
Don't just put 20 random share buttons on the bottom of each of your posts though. That will decrease the impact the buttons have as your visitors will be overwhelmed with choice and it increase the loading time. Be selective, think which of these network your target audience spends time on and only select those buttons.
- Retain your first time visitors
Have prominent subscription options as you want to retain a good percentage of your first time visitors in order to get them to return regularly. This is easiest if they bookmark your site or subscribe to it in whatever way they prefer: via email, via RSS feed reader or through your Facebook page or your Twitter stream. Consider giving them an incentive to subscribe on top of the quality content – free ebook for example. This can help get more subscribers.
Off-site traffic driving tips
- Actively spread the word
Writing quality articles is not enough as visitors do not come automatically. You need to promote your content. Go where your audience is and actively spread the word about your work. Explore Twitter, Facebook, forums, Pinterest, Tumblr, Reddit and any other platform that you find relevant. Don't spam but do push your site when you can, while also sharing interesting content, helping people out, solving their issues and being a part of a wider community discussion. See for example how I do it in my post publishing marketing routine.
- Use Twitter search
A tactic I have used very successfully in the early days of my site was to search Twitter for relevant keywords and phrases. I used to search for phrases like "start a site" or "install WordPress" and then interact with all the real people that used those phrases. I used to spend hours on this daily as it is a great way of getting visitors and spreading the word about yourself. You can do the same. More details on how to get traffic through Twitter is here.
- Reach out to bigger blogs
Commenting on relevant and high traffic sites is another tactics I had great success with. Make sure the post you comment on is relevant to what you do, make sure the post has and will have a lot of visitors and try to be one of the early or top commentators.
Another option is to write guest posts on popular sites. Many bloggers accept guest posts so it is a nice way to get a good link that will not only send you traffic but will also be useful for your search engine rankings.
- Join Stumbleupon
I joined Stumbleupon early on and got my first traffic spikes thanks to it so I recommend you to do the same. Register for it, use it by recommending articles you read and get in touch with other users who "like" relevant content to the content you produce yourself. When you have several contacts there, ping them and let them know about the latest post you have written that they may find interesting. This will help in getting them to share your content to their networks.
Drip, drip, drip to 500 unique visitors daily
Always keep in mind that writing quality articles is just a part of your blogging job, while promoting your work is just as important aspect of having a successful site. A good rule of thumb is to spend half of your time producing content and the other half of your time promoting your articles. It can be a slow process but gaining a new loyal visitor or two every day will become a large number of visitors six months down the line and will get you closer to the goal of 500 or even more unique visitors a day. Good luck!

The Bomber boys soccer team tallied four goals in Monday's win over Quincy Notre Dame, but it may have been the defense that provided the biggest spark in the victory.
The Raiders continuously hounded the Bomber end, especially late in the match, but Macomb effectively was able to stay in front of Quincy Notre Dame attackers, making quality chances a difficult proposition.
"Defensively, Quincy Notre Dame is tough to defend because they have all kinds of ballplayers," Macomb coach Jeff Moore said. "It was a great team effort, the guys stepped up all the time."
The Raiders loved to attack on the right side of Macomb's backline, testing Liam Adams by trying to go past him with speed, through him with skill or around him with passes and runs.
Adams held strong throughout, funneling the Raider attackers away from the net.
"He (Adams) played very smart, he did not overcommit on his guy," Moore said. "They're very fast but he was with them step for step speed-wise and he did not get out of position," Moore said. "There were a couple times that if he was not thinking, he would have stepped up to stop the ball at midfield but he started dropping immediately and shut down a couple of over the top attacks.
"His discipline on the ball when play 1 v. 1 was excellent, he played that corner well."
Quincy Notre Dame was aggressive in its attack, showing Macomb a four-forward look, increasing the tempo and pressure in the end of the Bombers.
"They pushed two more forwards up, they had four guys not he front line going at us, but we stayed with them until the end," Moore said.
The win was a big one for Macomb (9-5). Not only was it the first time the Bombers have beaten the Raiders, but it was big notch for a Macomb team that has high postseason aspirations.
"This is the kind of high caliber squad we'll have to play right away," Moore said. "(Regional top seed) Peoria Christian will be at their level and anybody we play after, that's why we play these games.
"We went down one goal and came back right away, that shows a lot of maturity but we have enough guise who have gone through this and know you never stop."

Droning on: Obama's easy way out
"I never believe it's better to kill a terrorist than to detain him," Brennan said. The President, though, does. Through an unprecedented use of drones to kill terrorists in places like Afghanistan, Yemen and Pakistan, the Obama administration has taken out a lot of bad guys. The President boasted of that during last year's election campaign. He presented it as evidence that he is tough on terrorists. And he is, for which we have given him due credit in the past.
However, there always is a tradeoff, and in this tradeoff we get corpses instead of intelligence. The President who famously said there is no military solution to the problem of terrorism is applying a military solution to the problem of terrorism.
Though it is nice to see Obama acknowledge that we are engaged in a war and not a criminal prosecution, his overreliance on drones has become a serious problem.
The President would rather kill with drone strikes and keep his hands clean than capture these guys and take them to Gitmo, where we could learn enough to, maybe, dismantle their networks for good. It's how we got Osama bin Laden, after all, as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta admitted on "Meet The Press" last week.
The Obama administration's greatest coup in the War on Terror came from the interrogations of captured terrorists by the Bush administration. But the President won't use those same successful methods to finish the job. Rather than risk being called a torturer, he just orders the terrorists executed via remote control. It's so much easier that way, for him, at least.

Poverty was placed at the core of the conceptual framework, with population and environment being considered mainly in terms of their connections with poverty. The potential contribution of the TSS system was viewed not only within the context of institutional advantages and constraints, but also within the framework of the potential assistance that can be provided by population institutions and population expertise in general.
This Special includes four documents from the on Workshop on Population, Poverty and Environment. The Workshop was jointly organized by FAO's Population Programme Service and ILO's Labour and Population Unit, with UNFPA financial support. It was attended by staff from ECA, ESCAP, ESCWA, FAO, ILO, UNDESA, UNESCO, UNFPA and UNIFEM.

A liberal super PAC is targeting House Speaker John Boehner in a new ad called "Temper Tantrum" and featuring a crying baby.
The ad, paid for by House Majority PAC, a Democratic outfit, blasts the West Chester Republican over the government shutdown. "Speaker John Boehner didn't get his way on shutting down healthcare reform," the narrator says. "So he shut down the government and hurt the economy."
The spot, which ran Sunday during the Bengals' game against the New England Patriots, is part of a campaign by the group to target House Republicans in the current impasse of federal funding. Boehner and other GOP leaders have insisted that any spending bill to keep the government running must include provisions attacking the president's health reform law.
Boehner has strongly defended the GOP position.
"Obamacare is a law that's going to raise the cost of health insurance premiums and make it almost impossible for employers to hire new people," he said Sunday on ABC's "This Week." "It's a law the American people do not want and cannot afford. … Providing fairness to the American people, under Obamacare, is — all we're asking for."

The flu season is off to an earlier-than-usual start nationwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Activity is most intense in the south-central and southeast of the country right now," the a CDC report released Monday says. "Most of the viruses characterized so far this season have been H3N2 viruses; which are typically associated with more severe seasons."
The CDC established Dec. 2-8 as National Influenza Vaccination Week. The week is highlighted to remind people to get flu vaccinations before flu season. Last week, a Mayo Clinic report suggested people at risk for heart disease who get flu shots reduce their risk for heart attacks.
This week, the Fairfax County Health Department will provide tips and information about flu vaccinations, fighting the flu and more on its Facebook page and Twitter.

The CDC established this week to remind people not to fall for the myth that it's too late to get vaccinated after the Thanksgiving holiday.
The CDC recommends an annual flu vaccine for everyone six months of age and older as the first and most important step in protecting against flu viruses. A flu vaccination offers the best protection against the disease.
Once vaccinated, the CDC says it takes about two weeks for the body's immune response to fully kick in. Flu activity in the U.S. usually peaks in February and can last as lat as May, so the CDC recommends getting vaccinated now.
For more information about what you should know about the 2012-2013 flu season, visit the CDC website.

Amid the rapidly changing political environment in Egypt, the U.S. is considering halting aid to the country.
Early Tuesday morning more arrests were made in the government crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood. Mohamed Badie, the Brotherhood's spiritual leader, was among those arrested.
Another change, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has been acquitted of corruption charges, and could be released from prison within the next few days. His replacement, Mohamed Morsi has been detained.
The turmoil in Egypt has lawmakers calling for President Obama to suspend aid to the country, but cutting off nearly $1.5 billion in annual support may not bring the change Washington is looking for.
On Monday, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel was asked if cutting aid to Egypt would help end the violence there.
"Our ability to influence the outcome is limited. It's up to the Egyptian people," Hagel said.
A new poll from the Pew Research Center shows 51-percent of Americans want to cut off aid to Egypt. 50-percent of those polled believe President Obama hasn't been tough enough toward the Egyptian military in response to the violence there.
Even if the U.S. does cut off support, Egypt may not lose a dime. Saudi Arabia said it will reimburse Egypt if western countries suspend their aid.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — There wasnt anything special that North Carolina coach Roy Williams told his players after P.J. Hairston, the Tar Heels sophomore guard, suffered a concussion that left him woozy and wobbly late in the first half at Boston College.
Basically the old clichés, Williams said following UNCs 82-70 victory against the Eagles. In the locker room at halftime, Williams mentioned the fact that Leslie McDonald, one of the teams best perimeter shooters, was back home serving the final game of a three-game suspension.
And now one of our guys (Hairston) is down laying back on the training table, Williams said he told his team. So everybodys got to pull together even harder. Thats and old cliché and its coach-talk, but I believe its true, too.
It was also true that the Tar Heels (14-6, 4-3 ACC) needed this kind of game a bounce-back victory after a difficult, emotionally draining loss at N.C. State on Saturday. The Heels played poorly during the first half of that game, and again started slowly against the Eagles (9-11, 1-6) Tuesday.
But not for long. After about three minutes, Hairston entered the game and promptly made a pair of 3-pointers on consecutive possessions. After those two 3s, Reggie Bullock made another. Just like that, the Tar Heels had erased an early 8-2 deficit and taken a lead that theyd never relinquish.
Hairston went on to make all four of his 3-point attempts in the first half. He was fouled on another and made two of the three free throws. But one of his best halves of the season ended when he absorbed an elbow to the head from teammate Dexter Strickland.
UNC was on defense at the time with about four minutes to play before halftime, when Boston College guard Patrick Heckmann drove the left baseline for a layup. Hairston and Strickland were both near the basket when Strickland inadvertently elbowed Hairston in the face.
Hairston fell to the court, where he remained for several minutes. He fell again after a group of walk-on players attempted to help him walk off. Eventually, officials called for a stretcher and medical personnel wheeled Hairston into the training room, where he was diagnosed with a concussion.
It was scary, UNC freshman point guard Marcus Paige said. Because I thought hed be all right, and then he kind of did the little stumble.
The Tar Heels led by 11 when Hairston left the game, and they led 48-33 at halftime. The 48 points were the second-most theyd scored in a half against an ACC opponent, and they shot 52.9 percent.
Even amid the slow start, UNC appeared to play with more of the urgency that Williams wants to see and the kind he didnt see during the loss against N.C. State. The Heels rebounded 13 of their misses, and turned those second-chance opportunities into 20 points.
UNC forced just 10 turnovers, but the Tar Heels held Boston College to 41.9 percent shooting during the second half. The Eagles, who generate more points from 3-pointers than any team in the ACC, made just two of their 10 3-point attempts during the final 20 minutes.
(Williams) saw me down on that ground for that one ball, James Michael McAdoo, the sophomore forward, said of UNCs hustle. Thats stuff weve got to do.
McAdoo led UNC with 17 points, nine of which came in the second half after Hairstons injury. Hairston left the game after scoring 14 points in 12 minutes. His mother came out of the stands to be by his side while he struggled to stand, and while he left the court on a stretcher.
Earlier in the week, Williams criticized Hairstons lack of effort on one play during the loss at N.C. State. That one lapse landed Hairston on the bench for a prolonged period. Williams on Tuesday said Hairston didnt have much of a chance to make hustle plays against Boston College but that he had an opportunity to make a bunch of shots.
I tell you what, Williams said. He looked like he was about as hot as Ive ever seen him in my life.
The Tar Heels cooled in the second half, when they made 42.9 percent of their attempts from the field. Even so, whenever Boston College led by 22 points from Olivier Hanlan attempted to get back into the game, McAdoo, or Bullock (eight points) or Dexter Strickland (14) seemed to respond.
The Eagles never cut UNCs lead into single digits during the second half. Afterward, Williams said at first that he didnt like the look on our guys faces after Hairstons injury.
Unlike in other moments this season, though, the Tar Heels persevered through some adversity and responded from a deflating defeat with a much-needed victory.
-- Not only was this an overall bounce-back game for UNC, but it was also one for two players in desperate need of a boost. The Tar Heels backcourt duo of Marcus Paige and Dexter Strickland combined for one of their worst games of the season on Saturday at N.C. State. They both played far better on Tuesday night. Paige finished with eight points, six assists and one turnover. Strickland, meanwhile, finished with 14 points, the most hes scored against an ACC opponent.
-- Jackson Simmons continues to provide a lift off the bench for UNC. He played 21 minutes on Tuesday, made four of his five attempts from the field and finished with eight points. Simmons tied James Michael McAdoo for the team lead in offensive rebounds. Both had three.
-- Had Hairston not suffered his concussion, it was clear that his playing time would have likely increased significantly compared to UNCs previous two games. Hairston entered Tuesday night after playing 17 minutes each in back-to-back games. He entered on Tuesday night with 16:50 to play and sat out only about a minute more until suffering his injury four minutes before halftime.
-- The Heels were dominant in rebounding on Tuesday night. Their 13 offensive rebounds led to 20 second-chance points, and UNC outscored Boston College 20-10 in points from offensive rebounds. The Eagles finished with just seven offensive rebounds.

To the Editor:
Cumberland Times-News
I'm sure everyone has heard the proverb, "A stitch in time saves nine." How very true this is when you put off doing a small job, and then later it become an elephant.
I'm referring to the bridge above New Page crossing Savage River. This bridge was constructed probably in the early 1900s. Nice piece of architecture, I'd say.
This bridge is in need of a stitch to preserve it for another 100 years, if done right. The bridge is of concrete construction, and has taken a lot of wear and tear over the years from traffic, and rock salt applied to the road during the winter months.
The traffic traveling this road during the winter months splash the salt slurry onto the concrete year after year, until the concrete has eroded away. Concrete structures need a sealant on them to protect them from the elements.
I know money is tight these days for performing and up keeping our roads in the counties. But, be that as it may, this bridge is a critical piece of Route 135 and should be repaired to its original structure.
Putting this project on the back burner only leads to higher costs later. It seems the counties are able to come up with monies for less important projects they see fit needs done. Like the mess that was made on Route 220 coming from Greene Street in Cumberland.
I appreciate the road work being done on Route 135, improving the shoulders. This stretch of road is hammered all day long by coal and wood trucks, not to mention all the other traffic.
I'm sure everyone who travels Route 135 and crosses the Savage River on this bridge would agree with me, this is something which should be addressed.

text: How to Wear Pastel Makeup For Spring 2012 10 Ways to Wear Pastels (Without Looking Like a Jordan Almond) by Lacey Gattis 4/09/12 6 Reactions 13 Shares Print 3 3 7 0 0 Spring is the season of new growth and fresh ideas, but even primavera has a few long-standing institutions: flowers, bunnies, and of course, pastel colors galore. The problem, of course, with being such a time-tested bunch of shades is that it's hard to keep making the look fresh every year. If you're all out of inspiration for wearing your favorite creamy colors, though, the Spring 2012 runways were chock-full of ideas. Let chic lilac "raincoat" manicures, creamsicle lips, and much more spark your creativity, and get ready for a very fashionable April. Source: Getty Coral at Aquascutum What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Creamy coral lipstick is a warm-weather staple for many women, but it's also gorgeous on cheeks, especially if you have cool undertones. Source: Getty 1 / 10 Powder Blue at Steffie Christiaens What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Robin's egg blue can look a little sterile when it's laid on thick, but a sheer veil of color from the crease to the outer corners of eyes, as seen at Steffie Christiaens, is romantic and of the moment. Source: Getty 2 / 10 Creamsicle at Guillermina Baeza What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Orange Julius is usually something you think about putting in your mouth, not on it. But as the milky tangerine gloss at Guillermina Baeza proves, a little pastel orange can look extremely chic and sophisticated. Just remember to use a light touch when you're applying. Source: Getty 3 / 10 Spring Gold and Mint at Mark Fast What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Yellow and green are a classic combination, but they've got a new, edgy flair this season. Take a page out of Mark Fast's book and try using gold or buttercream shadow at the inner corners of your eyes to brighten. Then, instead of just lining your eyes in basic black, go over the top of your eyeliner in a shimmery mint green shadow. Source: Getty 4 / 10 White at Tibi What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 White eye shadow is renowned for its brightening abilities, but when it's too opaque, the resultant look is more Mod than modern. To update the shade, try a soft, sheer white like the shadow at Tibi. It has all the impact of a more pigmented shade without the White-Out chalkiness. Source: Getty 6 / 10 Seafoam at Alexis Mabille What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Seafoam has traditionally been an eye shadow shade, and while it still works on lids, it makes for an unexpectedly fresh and pretty pop of color on nails, too. Get inspiration from the cheery, creamy hue from the Alexis Mabille show. Source: Getty 6 / 10 Sheer Lilac at 3.1 Phillip Lim What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Grape-y nails never really disappear off fashion's radar, but the days of thick, lusterless color are gone. Instead, try an almost-translucent wash of milky lilac. It only takes a single coat, and designers like Phillip Lim were all over the transparency trend for this season. Photo: Jennifer Graylock Source: Getty 7 / 10 Baby Pink at Elene Cassis What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sweet, girlish pink is perhaps the most overused pastel shade, but it's too pretty to boycott entirely. Give your baby pink blushes and lipsticks a boost this season by playing with texture. Instead of a typical matte pink lipstick, soften the shade up with a little coral or even lavender gloss mixed in. For cheeks, take a hint from the makeup artists at Elene Cassis and use your pastel hue as a base, then sweep a little bright pink blush over the tops of cheekbones for extra definition and impact. Source: Getty 8 / 10 Violet at Cacharel What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bright violet shadow can work wonders for brown eyes. If you've long been a devotee of plum shadow, this is the season to branch out and try a livelier shade of lavender. Bright smoky eyes like this look from Cacharel aren't the only way to go, either. For a more subtle take on the shade, try lining the space right above your lashes with the color and then blending down. Source: Getty 9 / 10 Ecru at L'Wren Scott What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Don't ever let anyone tell you that ecru is a boring color. It's actually very versatile, and right now it's an extremely hot nail hue. The trick to making it work is to use plenty of base coat, since the colors tend to be sheer, and to find a shade that complements your skin tone.

SAO PAULO, Brazil — Renewed tension between police and Sao Paulo's largest criminal gang are being blamed for a surge in violence in Brazil's most populous state, where more than 4,100 people have been killed this year, including almost 100 police officers.
Analysts say a wave of executions of police officers has been carried out by First Command of the Capital, a two-decade-old gang known by the Portuguese initials PCC. It burst into the consciousness of more well-off Sao Paulo residents in 2006 when a series of deadly attacks shocked and paralyzed the city for days.

The mission of the California Breast Cancer Research Program
is to prevent and eliminate breast cancer by leading innovation in research,
communication, and collaboration in the California scientific and lay communities.
California Breast Cancer Research Program Awards Over $5 Million in 2013
In 2013, the California Breast Cancer Research Program granted over $5 million in research awards that will advance our knowledge about the prevention, detection, treatment and community impact of breast cancer. These awards included grants supported entirely or in part by Californians who contributed to the California Breast Cancer Research Fund on their income tax form. The projects they supported include:
- Intranasal Drug Delivery for Brain Metastatic Breast Cancer
Axel Schonthal, University of Southern California
- Meeting the Self-Care Needs of Latinas after Breast Cancer
Anna Napoles, University of California, San Francisco and Carmen Ortiz, Circulo de Vida Cancer Support and Resource Center
- Vitamin D Signals Via a Novel Pathway to Inhibit Metastasis
Brian Feldman, Stanford University
Learn more about these awards and all of the CBCRP funding this year in our 2013 Compendium of Awards
QuickStart Training Program Launches Summer 2014
CBCRP, Commonweal, and Plumbline Coaching and Consulting invite you to apply to QuickStart, a training opportunity in community based participatory research in breast cancer, the environment and disparities. Learn about the program, informational webinars and how to apply on our QuickStart page.
Commemorating 20 Years of Innovative Research
Twenty years ago, the state of California became a leader in breast cancer research and policy by creating the California Breast Cancer Research Program (CBCRP). The women and men who fought to build the CBCRP envisioned a dynamic, responsive, and highly innovative program. This video describes how we honor their dreams and share their sense of urgency as we continuously seek ways to make the greatest impact against breast cancer.

Long acknowledged creators of sumptuous and authentically-recreated medieval Japanese garb, Lord Ishiyama Gen'tarou Yori'ie and Lady Hara created a Momoyama period ensemble for Mistress Roxanne de St. Luc's elevation that would have shamed Oda Nobunaga's sister, Oichi, even at the height of her opulence.
The three-layered outfit consisted of a green dragonfly patterned kosode under a white-on-white silk jacquard kosode. These layers were in turn highlighted by the addition of a heavy silk brocade uchikake in teal and gold.
The star of the show, however, was a padded uwagi in purple featuring a laurel wreath in an explosion of applique. Each leaf was constructed from fabrics donated by friends and family of Mistress de St. Luc.

A worker was injured Monday morning after falling 12 to 15 feet down an elevator shaft at the site of the RBC Plaza under construction at Fayetteville and Martin streets in downtown Raleigh.
The worker fell from about the 21st floor of the high-rise construction site at 234 Fayetteville St., according to a report from the Raleigh Fire Department.
A supervisor from Hardin construction called authorities, who lowered the victim to ground level using a crane. The patient, who has not been identified, was taken to WakeMed.
Division Chief James Poole of the Raleigh Fire Department said the worker broke his ribs and an ankle.
The accident happened about 8:45 a.m. The arrival of emergency vehicles and related activity slowed rush-hour traffic downtown.
Firefighters last month trained at the same site on dealing with accidents, and their familiarity with the property led to a faster, safer rescue, Poole said.
