Memorial Day Weekend Travel Alerts
MassDOT encourages travelers to plan ahead for the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Historically, the heaviest traffic occurs Thursday, Friday, and Monday afternoons and early evenings. Drivers should make travel plans accordingly and if possible avoid peak traffic volumes between 1pm and 7pm on those days.
Traffic is especially heavy at the I-84 interchange at Exit 9 in Sturbridge on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend and at Exit 11A, I-495, which handles cars headed south to Cape Cod and north to New Hampshire and Maine.
MassDOT will suspend all construction work on major arterial roadways from 12:00PM Noon on Friday, May 28 through the start of normal business on Tuesday, June 1.
MassDOT has several resources available to assist motorists. Before you travel, check the Interactive Traffic Cameras web page for live looks at current traffic.
And drivers are encouraged to sign up at the new 511 Traveler Information Service. The new 511 offers personalized travel information alerts via email, text or telephone. Drivers can access the new service by dialing 511 on their cell phones or logging onto www.mass.gov/511 to register and receive personalized updates. MassDOT reminds drivers to avoid using their cell phones while driving and encourages travelers to call into the 511 service before they leave.
Drivers are reminded to travel safely and avoid distracted driving such as using cell phones. Check out the USDOT Distracted Driving page for tips and news. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has distracted driving information here.
To save time, money and gas, motorists who have not yet done so are encouraged to join FAST LANE to avoid waiting in line at cash toll booths.
Free coffee will be served at the 18 MassDOT service plazas from 10 pm Monday night through 5 am Tuesday morning.
New, Improved 511 Traveler Information Service
Governor Deval Patrick and MassDOT this week announced the launch of a new Massachusetts 511 traveler information service that for the first time is available to travelers throughout the state.
Beginning this week, 511 traveler information will be expanded statewide and drivers will have the opportunity to receive personalized travel information alerts via email, text or telephone. Drivers can access the new service by dialing 511 on their cell phones or logging onto www.mass.gov/511 to register to receive personalized updates. MassDOT reminds drivers to avoid using their cell phones while driving and encourages travelers to call into the 511 service before they leave.
The new 511 is the result of an innovative public-private partnership with Sendza, a growing Massachusetts communications-software company, and will come at no cost to the state, resulting in $4.1 million in one-time savings and $1.2 million in annual savings for MassDOT. Previous 511 service only covered communities in eastern Massachusetts.
The legacy 511 system handled approximately 500,000 calls per month. The Sendza-based Mass511 system is capable of not only maintaining this volume of calls, but also allows room for significant growth as the system's user base expands. Sendza's software-as-a-service message platform provides Mass511 message services and defrays costs by packaging marketing programs from sponsors. The initial sponsor of the new Mass511 is Massachusetts based Safety Insurance.
3 Key Steps for Using the New 511 System for the First Time by Phone:
3 Ways to Personalize Routes on the New 511 Service:
Governor Highlights Mass Works Investments: Brightman Street Bridge
Governor Deval Patrick joined local leaders in Fall River to highlight over $240 million investment in road and bridges projects currently under construction and announce an additional $850,000 to support a phase II planning study to examine issues surrounding the possible removal of the elevated portions of Route 79 to open waterfront property for potential redevelopment and possibly tie into the South Coast Rail project as a potential station location. The road and bridge projects complement the Governor's commitment to moving the South Coast Rail project forward as a key economic development opportunity for the Fall River region.
During Wednesday's visit, the Governor toured the $186 million Brightman Street Bridge replacement project, one of the largest projects in the Commonwealth. He also received an update on other important projects in Fall River, including the multi-phased maintenance and repair projects planned for the Braga Bridge. A $14 million painting project on the Braga Bridge currently underway is funded by the Governor's Accelerated Bridge Program to reduce the inherited backlog of structurally-deficient bridges.
The Fall River projects are among the more than 385 road and bridge projects ongoing across the Commonwealth this summer. The Patrick-Murray Administration's investment in roads and bridges totals more than $1 billion and will sustain more than 10,000 jobs. The road and bridge projects are a part of the more than $4 billion infrastructure investments being made as part of the Administration's Massachusetts Works initiative putting nearly 20,000 people to work across the Commonwealth this construction season.
The Brightman Street Bridge project is a four-phased effort to relocate Route 6 over the Taunton River connecting Fall River and Somerset. The new double drawbridge stretches 1,700 feet from the east abutment in Fall River to the west abutment in Somerset and stands a quarter-mile north of the existing bridge. Built in 1906, the current bridge handles 45,000 vehicles per day.
Massachusetts doubled its investment in road and bridge construction in just three years, to more than $1 billion. As a result of these investments, particularly the Accelerated Bridge Program, the number of structurally deficient bridges in the Commonwealth has dropped nearly 10% in two years. At the same time, MassDOT reduced the time from construction contract advertisement to construction start by more than 43 percent - a drop from 218 days in 2008 to 124 days in 2009. For ARRA projects, the timeline from construction contract advertisement to notice to proceed was reduced to 48 days, allowing MassDOT to put people to work on construction projects faster than ever before.
MassDOT Developers Initiative Receives "Smart Solutions" Award
ITS America, the nation's leading advocate for technologies that improve the safety, security and efficiency of the nation's surface transportation system, this week presented the MassDOT Developers Initiative with an ITS America Smart Solution Spotlight award. The award recognizes MassDOT for its public-private collaboration that has significantly expanded the distribution of transportation information to the general public – at minimal cost to Massachusetts taxpayers.
Since July 2009, the MassDOT Developers Initiative has led to the development of tens of thousands of dollars worth of website and mobile customer information applications that help Massachusetts travelers navigate the MBTA, RTAs, and Massachusetts roads.
ITS America recognized the MassDOT Developers model because of its low cost, which allows the strategy to be replicated by transportation agencies or other government bureaucracies around the nation. By acting as wholesalers rather than retailers of transportation information, these agencies can more effectively and efficiently deliver information to customers, encourage private investment and economic growth and spur new innovations.
As the leading voice for the use of smart technology to address our nation's transportation challenges, the ITS America Smart Solution Spotlight award highlights the best and most innovative use of intelligent transportation systems to address national and regional transportation challenges.
The next major MassDOT Developers Event is June 3, at Microsoft's NERD Center in Cambridge. Read more about the MassDOT Developers Initiative here.
MBTA: Customer Service Campaign
MBTA General Manager Richard Davey continues his "Join the GM" campaign, a back-to-basics approach that will include regular visits to MBTA station to listen and interact with daily commuters in person. On Thursdays, Davey along with the T's top managers visits a selected station or bus depot to listen to customers concerns, and promote public transportation.
MBTA managers are available at the stations prepared to listen, respond, and follow up with customer concerns and recommendations. Upon completion of eight weekly sessions, "Join the GM" will continue on a monthly basis system-wide. Below is the date and location for the next session.
North Station:

Corinne Momal-Vanian, Director of the United Nations Information Service in Geneva, chaired the briefing which was also attended by Spokespersons for the World Health Organization, the International Labour Organization, the UN Economic Commission for Europe, the UN Population Fund, the UN Children's Fund, the International Organization for Migration, the UN Refugee Agency, the World Food Programme and the World Intellectual Property Organization.
Marixie Mercado of the UN Children's Fund said that UNICEF had received findings from a mission to Tartous – west of the country, about an hour and a half from Homs – where UNICEF was working to set up a permanent presence. The mission had found that there were 12,000 families officially registered as internally displaced persons, but the local governor estimated the total number to be about 60,000 families, or 300,000 internally displaced persons, more than half of them children. Around 20,000 displaced children were already attending local schools. None of the schools in Tartous were hosting families of internally displaced persons, which was unique.
Earlier waves of displaced people had come primarily from Homs and Hama; internally displaced persons who had recently arrived from Aleppo were being hosted in collective public shelters in Tartous. Many of these internally displaced persons arrived with nothing. NGOs working in Aleppo reported that the needs were immense and that the capacity to meet these needs was limited.
These internally displaced persons had received strong support over the past months from local charities, but these same charities were now reporting that their resources were dwindling, and UNICEF was working to plug immediate gaps. These include family hygiene kits containing buckets, soap, water purification tablets, nappies, clothing, tanks, piping and supplies for water.
Providing an update on education, Ms. Mercado said that the official opening of the school year was on September 16. Some schools had opened, others not due to insecurity, access issues and unwillingness of parents to send their kids to school. UNICEF was working to bring in 50 pre-fabricated classrooms into Syria, an extra 150,000 school bags and other school supplies.
In Za'atari camp in Jordan, schools would open on 1 October. Within host communities, some 17,000 school children had been registered and 13,000 were attending school, with 4,000 on waiting lists. To deal with overcrowding, UNICEF had delivered 15 prefabricated classrooms to Ramtha, which were being installed now.
In Lebanon, 3,000 refugee children were attending school, and more were being registered.
In Domiz camp in Iraq, the original planning figure was for 600 children. According to UNHCR figures, there were now are 3,150 school-aged children in Domiz camp. UNICEF was working with Ministry of Education to set up additional schools, and providing prefabricated classrooms.
Turning to funding, Ms. Mercado said that UNICEF's funding appeal for Syria was USD 44 million, of which it had received 8.4 million – less than 20 per cent – leaving it with a gap of USD 35 million. UNICEF needs USD 11 million urgently over the next few weeks for vaccines and therapeutic food, supplies for clean water, education material, clothes and heating goods.
Jumbe Omari Jumbe of the International Organization for Migration said that IOM was appealing for US$ 20.7 million to continue to provide lifesaving aid in Syria and neighboring countries to address the needs of vulnerable migrants and host communities caught up in the conflict.
Some USD 8.5 million of the new funding would go towards the emergency repatriation of vulnerable migrant workers. There were an estimated 120,000 migrant workers in Syria. Most were female domestic workers who lacked the financial resources to leave the country without IOM's help. Some 6,000 migrants from 25 countries had already asked IOM through their embassies for help to return home. To date, IOM has helped 1,523 migrants to leave Syria.
Another USD 11.7 million would provide emergency non-food relief items to internally displaced Syrians and refugees in neighboring countries, while USD 1.98 would be used for emergency transport to continue moving refugees from the Syrian border to Za'atari refugee camp in Jordan.
Another USD 1.55 million would go towards the provision of primary health care, psychosocial support and referral services both inside Syria and in the neighboring countries. At present IOM was proving health treatment on-site at King Abdullah Park in Jordan, at the Za'atari refugee camp and through a mobile team.
Coronavirus infection
Glenn Thomas of the World Health Organization said that the WHO had just issued a disease outbreak news update on the Coronavirus infection. There were no new confirmed cases. WHO was still working around two confirmed cases; a case which had happened earlier this year and a current case of a person who was being treated in a hospital in London.
From the information the WHO had so far, it would appear that the virus was not easily transmitted from person to person. No travel or trade restrictions were in place and WHO was continuing to work with Member States and providing them with information through the International Health Regulations.
World Rabies Day
Francois-Xavier Meslin, Scientist, WHO Control of Neglected Tropical Diseases, spoke about an old and deadly disease: Rabies. It killed almost all people affected by it, with the exception of a very few, with only 6 known recoveries in the world as of today. Rabies killed an estimated 50,000 people a year, mostly in Asia and Africa.
There was no proven cure for this disease, warned Mr. Meslin. Once the symptoms became visible, the person would most likely die. There had been attempts at treating people by applying the "Milwaukee Protocol" but only 6 out of 35 people undergoing this treatment had survived and there was no way of predicting the outcome.
The burden of rabies was mostly carried by Asia and Africa, with countries such as China and India carrying almost a third of the global health burden. From an economical point of view, it was estimated that rabies caused worldwide losses of USD 12.5 billion, notably due to livestock losses and costs of post-exposure treatment and vaccines. Seventy million doses of vaccine were used every year in about 20 million people.
An important step was that a number of Asian and African countries had recently committed to eliminating dog rabies. Domestic dogs were the major animals involved in human rabies and those cases could be prevented by very simple strategies such as vaccinating dogs and managing the dog population in a humane manner.
International Day of Older Persons
Ms. Momal-Vanian said Monday, 1 October was the International Day of Older Persons. In his message for the Day, which was at the back of the room, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stressed that society "must envision a new paradigm that aligns demographic ageing with economic and social growth and protects the human rights of older persons", adding that "Longevity is a public health achievement, not a social or economic liability".
Laura Gehrke of the UN Population Fund said that, together with UNECE and HelpAge International, UNFPA would launch the report "Ageing in the Twenty-First Century: A Celebration and a Challenge". This landmark report was a combination of a three-year collaboration between UNFPA and HelpAge International. The report was quite unique as twenty UN agencies and civil society have worked together on this report on population ageing. The objective was to focus on the views of ageing persons themselves, and to enable them to identify problems and proposals to make the future better for older people. A press conference would be held on Monday, 1 October at 11 a.m. in Room III. The principal launch would be held at 10 a.m. in Tokyo the same day. A media advisory was at the back of the room.
Jean Rodriguez of the Economic Commission of Europe added that journalists were invited to the ensuing discussion to take place in Room XXII from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Elisabeth Byrs of the World Food Programme warned that Lesotho, a small country where half of the population was living in poverty, should not be forgotten. As she spoke, a Member State briefing was being held at the Palais to launch a flash appeal for Lesotho.
The food component of the appeal was vitally important, underlined Ms. Byrs. USD 38 million were requested to provide urgent assistance to 118,000 people and to cover the longer-term needs of 725,000 persons. A total of USD 33 million were needed for the food security sector, including USD 18.7 million for the operations of the WFP.
UNHCR responds to public health threats in Dadaab refugee camps
Andrej Mahecic of the UN Refugee Agency said following indications of an outbreak of acute jaundice (largely caused by hepatitis E virus) among refugees in Dadaab camp complex in northern Kenya, UNHCR was running a comprehensive public health response focusing on improving sanitation facilities and promotion of good hygiene practices. With more than 473,000 refugees living there, the overcrowded Dadaab refugee complex – now comprising five camps – was the largest refugee settlement in the world.
As of last week, 223 cases of acute jaundice had been reported across all five camps in Dadaab. Four fatalities were confirmed, all of them women who had just given birth. The first case of jaundice was detected in Ifo 2 camp six weeks ago. Most of the hepatitis-E cases had been registered in camps with inadequate number of latrines and among new arrivals with poor hygiene habits. There was no vaccine for Hepatitis E virus although one was in an initial phase of development in China.
The incubation period for jaundice is one month and UNHCR feared that the number of cases may continue to grow. In addition to raising the health, water and sanitation standards and awareness about the importance of hand-washing, use of latrines, food and water hygiene, refugee health workers were also being trained in active search for new cases and surveillance.
Meanwhile, the Kenyan authorities had reported some 80 cases of cholera in Kenya's North Eastern Province, mainly in a settlement close to the border with Somalia. It was reported that 12 deaths had occurred on the Somalia side. There were no deaths in Dadaab camps where 18 cases had been identified among refugees who had contacts with affected communities near the border.
UNHCR had established a response team involving health, water and sanitation partners and daily coordination was maintained at the camp level. A cholera isolation ward had been opened at Hagadera camp hospital and additional staff had been trained to handle cases. At present, there were adequate resources to manage 100 cholera patients. Cholera treatment centres had been set up at the camp hospitals.
UNHCR was concerned that water-borne diseases could spread with the arrival of the rainy season in October and November. Forecasts for the region were for heavier than average rainfall. This could adversely affect the sanitation situation in Dadaab as parts of the camp complex were prone to flooding. However, bad hygiene was the major cause of infection for both diseases, and UNHCR's public health efforts in Dadaab camps were addressing this issue in particular. In addition, construction of a further 6,000 latrines had started this week.
Despite a difficult security situation and restrictions on movements of staff in Dadaab, all essential services and provision of aid to refugees continue uninterrupted.
Nansen Refugee Award Ceremony
Mr. Mahecic said that the Nansen Refugee Award ceremony would take place in the evening of Monday, 1 October. This year's award winner was Somalia's Hawa Aden Mohamed, founder and director of the Galkayo Education Centre for Peace and Development (GEPCD). She was being honoured for transforming the lives of thousands of displaced women and girls in Somalia, many of whom were victims of rape. Press are invited to attend this ceremony.
UNHCR's annual governing body meeting starts next week
Mr. Mahecic said that the sixty-third annual session of UNHCR's governing body, the Executive Committee, would begin on Monday, 1 October in the Assembly Hall of the Palais des Nations in Geneva. The Executive Committee, comprising 87 States this year, reviewed global and regional refugee protection issues and endorsed UNHCR's annual programmes and budgets.
The Chairman of the Executive Committee, the Permanent Representative of Sweden to the UN, Ambassador Jan Knutsson, would open the five-day meeting at 10 a.m. on Monday. The Executive Director of the World Food Programme, Ertharin Cousin, would deliver a keynote speech, followed by the address of High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres.
A press release covering the High Commissioner's opening remarks would be issued on Monday morning. Speeches would be available on UNHCR's website. All addresses on Monday morning were open to accredited Palais-based media.
UNHCR's annual report on international refugee protection – a global review of refugee and asylum challenges and achievements – would be presented on Wednesday afternoon by Assistant High Commissioner for Protection Erika Feller. A separate press release would be issued on her report.
UNHCR's revised annual budget for 2013 of US$ 3.92 billion would be presented on Thursday, 4 October.
WIPO General Assembly
Samar Shamoon of the World Intellectual Property Organization said that the Assembly of WIPO Member States would be held from 1 to 9 October at the CICG. Meetings were also being webcast. On 1 October there would be an opening reception in the form of classical and folkloric dance.
IOM Helps Voluntary Returnees from Europe to Iraq's Kurdistan Region Find Jobs
Mr. Jumbe said that an IOM pilot employment project had placed its first five voluntary returnees from Europe in private sector jobs in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
The 18-month MAGNET project, which was launched in January, was designed to help to reintegrate failed asylum seekers from Austria, Belgium, France and the Netherlands when they voluntarily returned home to Erbil, Sulaymaniyah and Dahuk governorates. The MAGNET database had now recorded 49 applications and 109 job vacancies.
IOM Trains Immigration Officers in Southern, East Africa
Mr. Jumbe said that IOM would next week organize a two-week Training of Trainers course on border management, counter trafficking, travel document examination and fraud detection for 30 African immigration officers at its African Capacity Building Centre in Moshi, Tanzania.
The frontline officials from Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia, who had previously taken part in a two-month course on Capacity Building for Border Management, were expected to subsequently train colleagues in their respective countries.
According to an IOM study entitled "In Pursuit of the Southern Dream", published in 2009, some 20,000 migrants, mainly from Ethiopia and Somalia in the Horn of Africa, were exploited and abused by smugglers every year en route to South Africa in search of work.
ILO Director-General Juan Somavia hands over power to his successor Guy Rider

A press release outlining Mr. Rider's plans for his five-year mandate would be issued on Monday.
Human Rights Committees
Ms. Momal-Vanian said the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was concluding its two-week session today, holding a closing session towards the end of the day. The Committee was slated to adopt concluding observations on China, Argentina and Hungary, and the Information Service would inform journalists when these observations were made public.
The Committee on the Rights of the Child was holding a general debate on children's rights in the context of international migration today (Room XIX of the Palais des Nations). The remainder of the session, which would close on Friday 5 October, consisted of private meetings and would primarily be dedicated to adopting concluding observations on the countries reviewed – Liberia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Namibia, Andorra, Austria, Albania and Canada.
Next week, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women would start a three-week session to examine the reports of Chile, Comoros, Equatorial Guinea, Togo and Turkmenistan.

The yurt placed outdoors, close to the Galerie des Pas Perdus, could also be visited on that occasion. More information was available at the back of the room.
The Working Party on General Safety Provisions, a subsidiary body of the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations, would resume next week. During its 103rd session, running from 2 to 5 October in Room V, it would consider a range of items proposed to improve regulatory provisions concerning the safety of buses and coaches, particularly with regard to fire risks and access by persons of reduced mobility. Journalists were invited to participate.

At first I loved this school and I'm not saying its a bad school....however this school was not right in some their actions. If you have a child that seems to having trouble then this not the school for you. They will blame the parent before talk to you about your child. It's unfair and it caught me off guard. My child's needs were not first and they could not give me a answer on how they would help my child. I did everything I could to help at home and went beyond to even suggest things I was doing but nobody listen and my child was still failing. Plus it hurt my child you could see it in their eyes. The teacher had washed her hands of child, so therefore my child gave up. They felt like a outsider. This is a ok school but not for me or my kids!!
I teach in the most amazing school and school district in Mississippi. Not only do I enjoy teaching wonderful 3rd and 4th grade students music everyday, but I get the opportunity to work with the most talented teaching staff in the world. I am blessed!
We are a community oriented school. With Camp Shelby in Hattiesburg, we have a lot of people that come to the area from all over the country. Many of them when faced with the decision of where to live choose Petal because of our great schools.
Because it has great teachers that go the extra mile to work with our children.
The faculty at petal elementary have a love for children and a desire to encourage all kids to rise to their potential.
Great school with great teachers and administrators.
This school has a wonderful relationship with the community and really nurtures and cares for its students. I am impressed with how this school is always trying to push its students to do more and believes in their potential.
I am proud to live in Petal and send my daughter to Petal Elementary School. This is a wonderful community of supportive families and teachers.
I love our school because it has a group of well educated teachers that make learning fun for the kids. These teachers genually love each and every one of the children and hope that they love and learning experience they give them will take them far in life.
I love the New Petal Primary School. The teachers really care about the children.
Petal Elementary has wonderful academic programs. Reading is a vital part of the school. Their are music and art programs avaiable. Their is a good aports association for extra curricula sports.

I like how moisturizing these lip stains are. I also appreciate the ease of use these stains have. I can swipe one on in the morning and simply refresh my look with a lip balm during the day for a fresher face. I like that the lid allows you to see the color before buying the product as well. I have own Mauvelous and Chic and plan to buy a few more of these to add to my lip stain pencil collection. These and Jordana Twist and Shine are favorites of mine for quality and price.

This stain is wonderful! I love how long lasting it is and how smooth it feels on my lips. I bought the Mauveous one and I'll be getting more!

I would definitely keep buying these again and again! They are hydrating and last a long time on my lips.... I bought the color pout first and loved it. Try to buy the bright dark shades because the lighter shades doesn't stain and doesn't last long on the lips. They don't dry out my lips and feels quite comfortable. I would keep buying them whenever I go to walmart. I wish they have these at drugstores. Give them a try

The colour is great, goes on creamy, and lasts for hours. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is a fan of lip stains.

I bought the pout color first, used it all, and now I have the cupcake color. I plan to continue purchasing this. I'm considering buying a bunch of them in case they get discontinued, because I love them. My Revlon gloss and stain, and my baby lips balm just take up space now because I like this better and use it in replace of all of that.
All the other reviews said it, but I'll say it again:
It's extremely hydrating for a stain! The colors that I have used are very true to packaging. I love how the bottom turns up just like a chapstick tube would. Doesn't settle into lines, and is super smooth. For me, having it available at Walmart is very convenient.

I wore this in VINTAGE (darkest color of the collection: a flattering berry/brown color) today :)
This reminded me of the CLINIQUE CHUBBY STICK, and I have to say, Im really impressed by this product! Im really happy I gave this a try.
-SOOOO MOISTURIZING! The moisture is incredible , its very creamy. I even think its CREAMIER than the chubby sticks! :O
-Very good pigmentation
-Lasts long
-Good price
-Convenient packaging: the crayon gives precision.
I really really love this product, and I will surely purchase more colors!
Everyone, GIVE THIS A TRY!:D
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Wow, I am impressed. I have the colour "Mauveous" and its shiny, super light weight on lips but pigmented, a rosy pink hue. On me, NC20, the color just adds a brightness to my face that was missing with all the trendy nudes. Definitely buying more and at this price, ( 4.99) its amazing value as well as a DS gem. Love the pencil format too, it works as liner and lipstick together.

COMMENTS: Love these! Very creamy and a little moisturizing. They're very pigmented, but only stain a little. I don't mind, though. Colors are pretty and they're comfortable to wear.
Will repurchase.

I bought my first all glossed up in love bite and I love how it is a lip stain, gloss and balm all in one. It isn't sticky at all, much like their glosses. And it is extremely hydrating, glossy and non-silicone based, which is great. The price has gone up over time, but it's still a great buy and does not dry out your lips like the Revlon kissables (but the Revlon colors are more faithful to their packaging). The pigmentation, however, is different on everyone, and there are a few tints which look alike when put onto the lips. Love bite looks very much like a vivid pink on mine, whereas the packaging looks purple. I was a little disappointed by this. As for the packaging, I like it, but they could prevent using that much plastic to help the environment.
Overall though, the texture and the hydration is great. I would recommend looking up swatches of colors on actual lips before buying.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought one of these lip glosses in Chic because it looked like a nude pinky brown in the tube. When I got home and put it on, it was more of a bubblegum pink. I decided to get another one in the colour Vintage, because it looked like a dark reddish brown in the tube. Vintage is a sort of dark mauve colour when you put it on, and after a couple of hours, it turns into a bright pink colour.
I would say that the stain part of the name is right, but the colour really only stays around the edges of your lips, and it stays as a bright pink. It is somewhat hydrating for a little while, but after about an hour, my lips felt dried out. These could be good if you're looking for a bright pink colour, (it seems like no matter what it looks like in the tube, it looks bright pink when you put it on) and if you have a good lip balm to wear underneath it.
A few people mentioned the smell - to me, they smell like crayons, but the smell fades a few minutes after you put it on.
I honestly don't see myself ever wearing these, since they look so bright pink when you put them on, despite the colour they look in the tube.

The autumn season always brings an influx of cozy wardrobe changes and fun, new cosmetic colors. This Fall, Green Eye Makeup is a great neutral for brown and hazel eyed girls. "I consider green a neutral eye shadow, but it's important to be very measured when you use it," says makeup artist Pati Dubroff, who works with Jessica Biel, Amanda Seyfried and Megan Fox. Green eyeshadow has a magical way of bringing out the golden flecks in your eyes, as shown on Demi Moore and Freida Pinto.
Keep the shade below the crease of the lid to avoid looking overdone, and reach for a brown liner for definition. A smudge under the bottom lashline can also have subtle impact. An emerald twist to the classic smoky eye is always a great way to change up your outfit and look.
Here are some of my favorite Greens:
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Pencil in Peacock Green $17.00
L'Oreal HIP Shocking Shadow Pigments in Striving $12.00
MAC To the Beach Eye Shadow in Humid $14.50
TokiDoki Punk Lash Mascara in Mad Rocker Green $18.00

FLOWERY BRANCH – Falcons head coach Mike Smith addressed the media after practice on Thursday.
The big news was that defensive end Ray Edwards doesn't have his own play count for the Pittsburgh game. He'll go as long as the rest of the starters, but will be monitored closely.
Edwards, who is set to make his debut with the Falcons, has recovered from a mysterious offseason knee surgery. (His second boxing match was canceled and we don't know if he did it preparing before the second fight or if he did it working out or if he did it standing in line in Cincinnati waiting for some Skyline Chili or if he did it square
dancing. We just know he had a "minor procedure." We'll get Woodward and Bernstein on it.)
The team is set to leave for Pittsburgh Friday afternoon.
Also, it was duly noted by the esteemed members of the Professional Football Writers of America, that Coach Smith gave the media a full injury report, even though he doesn't have to until week one.
Here are the highlights from Thursday's media briefing:
ON THE PRACTICE: We finished up our preparation. This is more for the logistics of putting our guys through the paces and the game planning. We've done some game-planning this week, but not nearly as much as if we were preparing for the regular season. I thought that the guys handled the week very well. Now, we just have to finish it off and go on the road. Which I think will be back-to-back road weeks for us. Early in the season, we have three or our first four on the road, so it will be something that we can learn from and set a routine.
ON MAKING THE CUTS: It is [a difficult time of the year.] This year with the 90-man roster. We've made a couple of moves prior to having to get down [to 80.] It's always difficult because everybody that has been on our team right now has worked extremely hard. There are some tough decisions that we have to make. We've got to [cut] this roster down to 80 and then down to 53. There are going to be some tough decisions. This is an important game for a lot of guys. They may not get as many snaps as they've gotten in the previous preseason games simply because in the third preseason game we usually play our first-team a little bit longer.
INJURY REPORT: Corey Peters and Lawrence Sidbury will definitely be about. We are going to have some game-time decisions in terms of getting Akeem Dent, who's been able to practice the last couple of days. We need to see if he's going to be
available. Christopher Owens will be a game-time decision as well. Dunta Robinson will definitely not play. Robert James will play. He's been cleared to go. We're going to have some guys that have some bumps and bruises, but at this time of the year, everybody does. Our main goal is to see some better play from all three units.
ANY BACKGROUND INTEL ON DARRIN WALLS, WHY HE DIDN'T GET DRAFTED?: I don't know the answer to that. We were very fortunate when the draft was concluded that Sunday that he was still out there. . . This year's free agent class was different since we weren't able to target guys and sign them the day after the draft. We were able to continue the process after the draft. I thought Thomas and his staff did a great job of putting the board together under the calm of a couple of weeks [of peace] instead of having to do that when you've just gone through a draft and you're basically in a free
for all for the college free agents. He's been very impressive. On special teams, that's where he first showed up. He's going to get an opportunity to play some defensive snaps this week.
ON DE RAY EDWARDS: The situation with Ray is that Ray is going to get some plays. We have to make sure that we are smart in what we are doing. This will be his first exposures and if it's going well, we'll make a decision during the ball game. . . We've got an idea of how long we want to go, but that could change based on what happens in the early part of the ball game.
ON EDWARDS PLAY COUNT?: He has no different play count than anyone else.
ANXIOUS TO SEE EDWARDS? (We sure are!): I'm anxious to see all of the guys. As you get closer, we are now getting within 15 days of the season-opener. Everybody has a heighten excitement about going out and performing. This is going to be a big challenge and a good challenge for us. This is the team that represented the AFC in the Super Bowl last year. Year-in and year-out, this is a team that has sustainability. That's what we've been talking about since we've gotten here, being able to sustain [winning] from year to year.

Definitely, LJ! Let's see them execute well and come home healthy. I'm weary of vanilla schemes meaningless results. While the Pats, Steelers and Chargers make preseason look easy, our guys play if close to the vest and merely evaluate. Ok, that's valuable for the coaches and I get it but it's extremely frustrating for the fans. Bring on Cutler!

I dont know why you guys are so happy about this year with all these high expectations you have from this unproven offense of yours, we will continue to treat you guys like our little stepbrothers, you guys will finish 3rd in our division, so continue to enjoy your 16 game seasons. WHO DAT

3 top networking stocks for 2011
Trends like cloud computing are good news for companies that sell high-tech gear.
By James Rogers, TheStreet
We're only a couple of weeks into 2011, but tech companies Juniper (JNPR), Riverbed (RVBD) and Cisco (CSCO) are already emerging as the networking sector's front runners, analysts say.
Trends such as cloud computing, which delivers a host of services over the Internet, spell good news for companies that sell networking gear, such as switches and routers.
"If you believe in the cloud story and if you believe in Apple (AAPL) moving its base to on-demand and hosting services, you have to buy into the growth of networking," Avi Cohen, an analyst at Avian Securities, told TheStreet.
Service providers are bolstering their networks to cope with the ongoing explosion in data-intensive traffic, which will further affect the companies in this space.
Riverbed and Juniper hit 52-week highs recently, while Cisco, despite its recent problems, remains the dominant player in networking. Let's break them down:
Juniper Networks: This Cisco rival is getting plenty of love on Wall Street, with new networking products expected to drive growth in 2011.
Paul Mansky, an analyst at Canaccord Genuity, said the recent performance of Juniper's EX switches, as well as the forthcoming launch of new data center technology, will help boost sales.
The networking specialist, which posted record third-quarter revenue, also doubled its EX switch sales during the quarter, compared with a year earlier.
"Ever since launching its new network initiative in October 2009, the company has been on a roll," said Charles King, an analyst at tech research firm Pund-IT.
Post continues after video:
The new network strategy is focused on mobile Internet and cloud computing. Juniper expects sales to grow more than 20% this fiscal year and countsVerizon (VZ) as a customer.
Riverbed: Riverbed, which sells products for improving traffic over wide-area networks (WANs), is seen as one of the best-positioned networking companies for 2011. The San Francisco company has earned an impressive reputation since it went public in 2006, and its WAN-optimization offerings continue to drive strong sales.
Goldman Sachs (GS) recently raised its Riverbed price target, citing future growth potential, as well the company's attractiveness as a potential acquisition target. There has even been talk that Riverbed could make an attractive acquisition for longstanding partnerHewlett-Packard (HPQ).
"Riverbed remains our favorite way to play this space," said Michael Bauer, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets.
Like Juniper, Riverbed has clinched a major deal with Verizon and also sells its technology to Mitsubishi and satellite specialist Intelsat.
Mansky also likes Riverbed, despite its share price, which has more than tripled in the last 12 months to more than $38. The expected ramp-up of Riverbed's cloud technology over the next few quarters bodes well for the company's performance in the second half of 2011, he added.
Cisco: Cisco sent shockwaves through the tech sector with its less-than-stellar first-quarter results last year, but the company can't be written off. Despite struggling with spending air-pockets with its public-sector customers, the networking behemoth still offers upside potential.
Thanks largely to its recent results, Cisco's shares have plunged almost 16% over the last 12 months -- an attractive entry point into the stock, say some analysts.
"Cisco's challenges in calendar 2010 have been well documented," explained Canaccord Genuity's Mansky. "However, the company is undeniably a leading participant in what we expect to be one of the highest growth markets and geographies over the next several years."
Mansky says high-speed 40- and 100-gigabit Ethernet technologies, seen as key for building clouds and wireless networks, are still in their infancy. AT&T (T), however, has already worked with Cisco on a 100-gigabit Ethernet project, which involved the networking giant's much-hyped CRS-3 router.
The San Jose, Calif., company, which beefed up its service provider strategy at CES last week, is also ramping up its cloud efforts, partnering with BMC (BMC), EMC (EMC) and VMware (VMW).

Ribosome biogenesis is a major metabolic expense of bacteria and a promising target for antibacterial drug discovery. Trans-acting proteins, called ribosome biogenesis factors, aid this complex and cooperative process. EngA (YfgK, Der) is a widely distributed bacterial GTPase that is shown here to be important for normal ribosome biogenesis. EngA is an attractive antibacterial target because it is essential for viability in bacteria but is absent in humans.
The GTPase activity and cellular function of EngA was investigated in Escherichia coli. Depletion of EngA caused accumulation of 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits at the expense of 70S ribosomes, showing for the first time that EngA is important for normal ribosome biogenesis. Mutation of either of the tandem GTPase domains of EngA led to abnormal ribosome profiles, cell death and loss of GTPase activity, revealing that the two GTPase domains act cooperatively to carry out an essential function. EngA bound the 50S subunit of the ribosome in cells and in vitro. Depletion of EngA resulted in sensitization to aminoglycoside antibiotics, which bind at the aminoacyl-tRNA binding site of ribosomes. To search for an inhibitor of ribosome biogenesis, a high-throughput screen of the GTPase activity of EngA was developed. A specific inhibitor was not identified, however, this robust screen can be extended to other compound libraries. Thus, we showed that the GTPase domains of EngA have a cooperative function in ribosome biogenesis, probably in maturation of the 50S subunit, and that EngA is an amenable target for further inhibitor screens.

Bought a home in 2006.
I was a first time home buyer looking to purchase a home in Pacifica. I happened upon a Broker/Realtor named Jose Barba. He helped me immensely in finding the right home that suited my needs. Since my purchase , I have gotten married and moved into my husbands home. The home I purchased has proven to be a great investment as Jose told me it would be. I have used his services again and again as he is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, humorous, and definitely a one stop shop. I have used Jose Barba for refinancing my property and property management as well. Thanks to Jose for guiding me into a very smart investment. I look forward to working with him on future investments. I highly recommend Jose Barba and Home Sales Team....it is great to support local business!

Bought a Condo home in 2012 in Pacifica, CA.
I was a first time home buyer, and I honestly didn't know what I was doing or what I was getting myself into except that this was going to be the biggest investment of my life! I really like how he is so friendly, personable and down to earth, but most of all I like that he is truthful and honest. He helped me the whole way and was patient with my million questions- totally breaking down the real estate jargon and explaining and understanding all of my concerns. It get's better... unfortunately after being approved for an awesome loan, and purchasing my home, for some personal reasons I could not move into my new home; worried, I called Jose. Shortly after, we met and he helped me find a tenant!! He really knows what he is doing and is masterful at what he does!

Bought a home in 2009.
I contacted Jose Barba at the Home Sales Team to purchase a new home a few years back. I had a great experience working with him as he would always make himself available. I now live in a home that I love and this is all because Jose worked hard to find me the right home.

We connected, but it did not work out. Looking in Rockaway Beach, Pacifica, CA 94044
I was in the middle of sentence on the phone with him and he didn't let me finish and just hung up on me as soon as I said that the price was a little too high for my family. He was rude the whole time i was talking to him.

Newfoundland, which has plenty of Moose, is getting one more. The Manitoba Moose are coming to the Rock.
The Manitoba Moose will re-locate to the capital city of Newfoundland, St. John's. So getting an NHL team in Winnipeg has had vibrations some 3,000 kilometres away.
The man who is leading the push for St. John's is none other than maybe the most popular politician in the history of Newfoundland, the former Premier Danny Williams.
Williams has been negotiating with True North for the last few months in anticipation of Winnipeg getting an NHL team.
It seems the negotiations have paid off. He has an agreement in principle.
The St. John's Telegram says a tentative agreement is in place between Williams and True North Sports - the owners of the Manitoba Moose - and that True North has agreed to house its American League team at Mile One Centre for the 2011-12 AHL season.
The St. John's Sports and Entertainment Centre is meeting to approve a deal between the body in charge of Mile One and the Williams group. The deal will be approved.
The St. John's Maple Leafs, the farm club to Toronto, was the last AHL team to call Mile One Centre home and they left at the end of the 2004-05 campaign.
If there is one place in Atlantic Canada where the AHL worked and will work, it is St. John's.
In covering the AHL in the 1990's and 2000's for TSN, I've been to Newfoundland often and they were lined up three deep in the old Memorial Stadium.
The Leafs were in the AHL from 1991 until 2005. They played in Memorial Stadium until the spring of 2001 and in the fall moved into a then-brand new stadium until 2005. In fact in their first season the team went to the finals of the AHL championship, losing in game seven to Adirondack.
The Saint John Flames and St. John's Leafs were the last two teams to be in the AHL in Eastern Canada. The Flames left in 2003 and the Baby Leafs lasted until 2005.
It should be pointed out that while low attendance was the norm for many teams that were in the league that was not the case in Saint John, NB and St. John's, NL.
The Flames had a new building, Harbour Station, in their tenure and captured the Calder Cup 10 years ago last weekend.
Same with the Leafs who went from one of the oldest arenas in Canada to a brand new Mile One Centre and the crowds kept coming.
Transportation and other factors became an issue.
When there were six or seven franchises in the Maritimes and Atlantic Canada, road teams could schedule a week's worth of games and drastically reduce cost.
But when only Saint John and St. John's remained, transportation and many road trips became an issue.
The AHL had teams in Halifax, Moncton, Saint John, Sydney, PEI, Fredericton and St. John's in its life starting with the Nova Scotia Vees in 1971 and concluding with the Baby Leafs in 2005.
So the expression in Newfoundland - a province with a lot of Moose - will be "Danny (Williams) got his Moose," although they may not keep the name.
The deal will see Williams leasing the team from True North Sports and Entertainment for a four- or five-year term from the group who have operated the Moose in Winnipeg over the last 15 years.
With the transfer of the Atlanta Thrashers to Winnipeg the Moose came in the market for a new home and St. John's entered negotiations to have the team in Newfoundland.
Former Leaf executive Bill Watters once told me "this is one of the best places to put a farm team in. It's a small city, people are passionate about hockey and players (just like Toronto) are viewed through the eyes of a microscope."
Negotiations between Williams and True North hit a snag last week when the provincial government (Williams' former government) turned down a request to provide $500,000 to help cover travel cost.
They overcame that hurdle to reach an agreement. Perhaps the price of tickets will be raised to cover the $500,000.
Williams says he is "on the hook" for the $500,000. He hopes to get the $500,000 from tickets and corporate sponsorships. He says "it was just too good of an opportunity not to go for it."
The fact that Williams had the support of the St. John's Sports and Entertainment group is interesting because there was fighting and rancor when the St. John's Fog Devils of the QMJHL came in the fall of 2005.
It has been said the reasons why Major Junior hockey did not work in this city is the in-fighting with this board and lack of proper promotion of the team.
Danny Williams is a doer, from being the premier who didn't take his salary (he gave it to charity) to naming the arena Mile One Stadium.
He is a hockey fan, if not fanatic, and has been negotiating this deal for months and although there is nothing down on paper he has an agreement in principle with True North and the body that runs Mile One.
As for a name, one thing is certain and that is it won't be the Moose.
"There are too many negatives surrounding the name in the province," says Williams. "We don't need reports saying a Moose struck a car or someone was killed by a Moose," he says.
Brian Rogers is the former play-by-play man for the St. John's Leafs and he is ecstatic. "It's a great day, it's a glorious day as the AHL is returning to this city," he told TSN.ca.
Darrell Murphy worked at the Memorial Stadium doing concessions and security and tells TSN.ca "Hockey in a high form of the AHL is coming back. Just like the good old days of the early 90's," he says.
As for a name, Williams says the team will wear the colours of the Winnipeg team, whatever they may be, and may hold a "name the team" contest.
For TSN.ca I'm Alex J. Walling.

Update to Upgrade 2.0
Thanks to Jan Andrejkovic for pointing out a tool I missed in my column "Upgrade 2.0" [5]. Fedora ships with a program called Presto [6] that uses DeltaRPMs to provide smaller updates. In my first test, a normal update would have required 972MB of downloads, but with Presto, it was a mere 224MB (pretty impressive savings). Fedora 11 now includes a yum-presto package (not to be confused with the presto package that is a graphics-related engine) that is a plugin for the yum program. Installation is simple:
yum install yum-presto
First, manually update your /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo to include either a baseurl or mirrorurl pointing to a site that carries the presto RPMs (they are signed with the GnuPG key of Jonathan Dieter, so you need to trust him). Alternatively, you can run your own repository and create RPMs with the presto-utils. If you have more than one system, this might be your best bet.
