He drove away from Lanesboro, the city in which we all were born, and into a small town on the Kentucky and Tennessee border. It was only a ninety-minute drive, but it might as well have been to Alaska. When our big boat of a car glided into Jubilee we circled the town square and headed towards the residential section of Main Street.

RANSON, W.Va. (AP) — Motorists who get ticketed for speeding in one West Virginia city can avoid facing a judge or paying a fine by donating to the police department's holiday toy drive.
The Ranson Police Department calls it the "Slow Down for the Holidays" program. Lt. Todd Lutman tells The Journal (http://bit.ly/1cM4e58 ) that anyone cited for speeding in the city in the days leading up to Christmas has three options: contest the ticket in court, decline to contest it and pay the fine, or buy a toy for an underprivileged child and get the citation dismissed. The toy has to be new and cost at least $40, and the speeder has to provide a receipt.
Lutman says drivers without a lead foot also are welcome to donate to the program.

Lawyers for an inmate who suffers from a serious mental illness say he was abused at North Carolina's Central Prison by guards who repeatedly doused him with pepper spray while he was locked in a tiny cell.Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and a victim of childhood sexual abuse, inmate Jerry C. Williams has spent much of his 57 years in state psychiatric hospitals and prisons. He was first arrested at age 10 for shoplifting and began hearing voices in his head in his late teens, according to his prison mental health evaluation.He was most recently sentenced in 2002 by a judge in his native Wayne County to more than 28 years in prison for being a habitual felon, following a lengthy record of convictions for trespassing, assault and burglary. He has an IQ of 76 that provides him with "borderline Intellectual functioning," according to prison records.His case, filed by the state-supported North Carolina Prisoner Legal Services, raises more questions about the treatment of inmates in Unit One, a special 192-bed section at Central known as "The Hole." It is there that those who violate prison rules are punished by being held in solitary confinement.A federal lawsuit filed by PLS lawyers earlier this year on behalf of eight inmates alleges correctional officers used "blind spots" out of view of security cameras to dispense with beatings to handcuffed and shackled inmates, shattering bones and leaving one confined to a wheel chair.Williams' lawyers claim his treatment in Unit One amounts to cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It also violates the prison's own policies and procedures for dealing with inmates with chronic mental illness, they say.Pamela Walker, spokeswoman for the N.C. Division of Prisons, declined to provide any comment on the lawsuit.When Williams' mental disease is controlled with medication, he is described as "pleasant and appropriate." When it is not, he can be "loud and disruptive," according to his lawyers.His prison record lists 142 infractions over the past 10 years, many of them for disobeying orders or throwing cups filled with his own bodily waste. He has also sometimes cut himself and swallowed razor blades, according to records."On the solitary confinement unit, some of the primary symptoms of Mr. Williams's illness -- agitation, yelling, kicking, and throwing things -- are treated like pure behavior problems that must be punished with the intentional infliction of physical pain," his lawyers wrote in a court motion filed earlier this month.A generation ago, people such as Williams lived in a system of state-run psychiatric asylums. However, North Carolina and other states have closed or downsized such facilities in recent years in an effort to focus on short-term stays and save money."The prison system has really replaced the old state psychiatric hospitals as the place where mentally ill people end up," said Dr. Stuart Grassian, a Boston psychiatrist who studied the effects of long-term seclusion on inmates with mental illness while on the faculty of Harvard Medical School. "It is not a good place for them, and obviously they get sicker. The prison system often responds to their increasingly bizarre behavior in ways that are very sadistic."Unit One cells are only 72 square feet, about the exterior dimensions of a small hatchback car. There is one narrow window, covered with a heavy steel grate that makes it difficult to see outside.Inmates are supposed to be allowed out five times a week to spend one hour in a cramped "recreation cage" and three times a week for 10-minute showers. Whenever they leave their cells, inmates must wear handcuffs and shackles. Inmates complain they often don't even get those brief excursions."The monotony of Unit One's solitary regime is broken only by periodic inmate disturbances -- flooding cells, setting fires, throwing liquids, and screaming, kicking, and banging on the doors," Williams' lawyers say in the lawsuit. "And the practice on Unit One is to deploy high-concentration Oleoresin Capsicum pepper spray as the first level response to any such disturbance -- regardless of whether a real threat of bodily harm exists, and regardless of the mental health status of the disobedient inmate."Records show Williams has spent years cycling between cells in the prison mental ward and solitary confinement in Unit One."The first time you get locked up (in the Hole), it about drive you wild," the lawsuit quotes Williams as saying. "You want to do anything to get out, even kill yourself."According to the lawsuit, Williams was locked in his cell on the evening of Sept. 17, 2009, when he became upset that his dinner tray did not include bread or a spoon. While in isolation, inmates often look forward to their meager meals as a highlight of the daily routine.When a correctional officer returned to collect the tray, Williams initially refused orders to slip it back through a small slot in the cell door in protest. When he finally did, he jammed it through, causing the tray to land on the floor outside.According to the lawsuit, the officer then blasted Williams with high-concentration pepper spray through the open slot.That initiated a 3-hour standoff in which prison officials report pepper spraying Williams eight times. His lawyers say video of the incident shows more, including an officer using a large "MK21" canister similar in size to a fire extinguisher and designed for dispersing a large unruly crowd, not for use on an individual confined to a small indoor space with limited ventilation.All of that high-test pepper spray, according to his lawyers, caused Williams "extreme pain."Eventually, an "Anticipated Use of Force" team of officers wearing body armor and wielding batons entered Williams' cell to extract him with an electrified shield used to pin an inmate to the wall or floor while delivering a debilitating high-voltage shock. On the video footage of the incident, a voice is heard shouting, "Turn it off!" and the camera goes dead.Williams' lawyers contend the inmate was dragged from his cell, placed in handcuffs and shackles, and then taken to another section of Unit One where officers took turns punching and kicking him.Medical records show that when Williams was examined by a nurse nearly two hours after he was last pepper sprayed, he had an abnormally rapid heart rate and low levels of oxygen in his blood — symptoms of overexposure to the chemical irritant. He also had abrasions and broken fingers.Grassian said solitary confinement can be psychologically damaging even for healthy people. To subject an irrational and paranoid person such as Williams to years in isolation punctuated by violent confrontations only ensures his behavior will get worse and more difficult for the prison staff to control, Grassian said.Rather than using pepper spray, the officer should simply have shut Williams' food slot and walked away, the doctor said. Locked in his cell, Williams was incapable of harming anyone other than himself."A person like that doesn't belong in solitary confinement," Grassian said. "But to then take something as minor (as tossing a food tray) and to use it as a reason to physically punish the guy? That amounts to torture."

Historicist: The Horse's Reign
At the turn of the 20th century, urban life moved at the pace of the horse.
With over 7,400 horses living and working in Toronto by 1891, the city streets were filled with horses, and their presence was essential to urban life. Carriage horses bore wealthy citizens around town while common folks boarded horse-drawn streetcars. Workhorses hauled freight from the railway to businesses and delivered goods to homes. They laboured on work sites and hauled waste away. Without horses, police officers and firefighters would've strained to fulfil their duties.
In a piece reprinted in Culled From Our Columns (Longmans, 1962) shortly after his death, long-time Globe and Mail columnist J.V. McAree reminisced nostalgically: "At a time when, as it seemed nearly every fourth citizen had a horse, the number of those who valued and recognized a good horse was naturally much larger than it is today, when not many more citizens own horses than own camels. Let no one believe that when the horse and buggy passed, something lovely and almost holy did not pass with them." The age of the urban horse, however, was far from idyllic. Jammed into busy streets, they produced noise, waste, and a potential danger to passersby if startled.
Within decades of the advent of the automobile, McAree complained Torontonians had forgotten what coach whips, hames collars, martingales, and snaffle bits were. "In other words," he wrote mournfully, "the horse is a stranger to hundreds of thousands of them, and it is hard for them to imagine a time when all the work that is now done by automobiles and trucks was done by horses."

Bank of America: Prepare for a Medium Term Rally
Anindya is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), the second largest U.S. bank, reported its Q3 earnings last month, which were in line with analysts' expectations. Earnings were essentially flat compared with a $3.1 billion profit in the second quarter, but were much better than a $1.8 billion loss in Q3 2011.
The net interest margin (NIM) expanded 11 basis points (bps) to 2.31%, benefiting from lower parent company debt and sequentially lower market-related premium amortization and hedge ineffectiveness. Lower securities yields and subdued new loan demand continued to constrain margins.
In this article I will share why I expect the bank to improve its earnings in the coming six to eight quarters, despite the short term bottlenecks the bank is facing and the negative outlook on the U.S. economy. I will also share why I expect the stock to rally in the near term, based on its impressive financial performance.
Balance Sheet Strengthened
- Capital building exercise remained impressive: The bank registered impressive progress on the capital front, with the estimated Basel III Tier 1 common ratio (including the terms of the Fed's proposals) rising 102 bps to 8.97%, partially because of accumulated other income gains (which added 18 bps) and partially because of risk-weighted asset declines (which added 40 bps). With these gains, management has turned their attention to driving core earnings.
- Asset quality continued to improve: Asset quality continued to improve, with the net charge-off ratio declining 19 bps sequentially (excluding new regulatory guidance on Chapter 7 bankruptcy treatment), and the nonperforming assets ratio declining 6 bps to 2.64%. It is expected that asset quality will continue to strengthen, though at a slower pace, led by improvements in commercial loans.
Earnings to Increase in 2013
- Net interest income to register modest growth: The management's guidance of net interest income for Q4 is in line with Q3 levels as liability actions being taken by management could offset low rate pressure. However, according to Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, the full impact of the roll-off of parent company debt and recent redemptions of high-cost trust preferred securities and subordinated debt ($6.2 billion in third-quarter 2012 and $5.1 billion announced for fourth-quarter 2012) should help propelling net interest income modestly higher in 2013.
- Interest expenses are close to a tipping point: Long term debt declined to $287 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2012, from $302 billion at the end of the prior quarter, and $399 billion at Sept. 30, 2011. As a result, interest expenses softened and will continue to moderate.
Risks Associated with Bank of America
Although visible progress is being made on capital building and cost reduction, the following risks could dampen Bank of America's earnings potential in the quarters to come:
- Elevated litigation risks
- Fragile housing market
- Representation and warranty claims
- New legislation (particularly the Volcker Rule)
Stock Price Attractively Valued based on PTBV
A stock's price to tangible book value per share, or PTBV, represents the amount of money an investor would receive for each share if a company were to cease operations and liquidate all of its assets at the value recorded on the company's accounting books. As a rule of thumb, stocks that trade at higher price to tangible book value ratios have the potential to leave investors with greater share price losses than those that trade at lower ratios, since the tangible book value per share can reasonably be viewed as about the lowest price a stock could realistically be expected to trade at.
BAC Price / Tangible Book Value data by YCharts
As one can see in the chart presented above, only Citigroup (NYSE: C) has a better price / tangible book ratio than Bank of America. Both JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) and Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) are more expensive than Bank of America in terms of PTBV.
A Rally Just in the Cards
With a tangible book value per share of $13.48 as of Sept. 30, 2012, and a price / tangible book ratio of 0.78, the stock looks reasonably attractive just below $10. The positive outcomes with respect to the bank's latest financial performance, as described above, are not yet discounted in the stock's price. This is clear from the range bound activity of the stock just below the $10 level after earnings. The stock took nice support above $9 during the recent corrective phase in the stock market and prepared ground for a sustained move above $10 in the weeks to come.

Study co-author Stephan J. LaPointe, DPM, PhD, prefers two-screw fixation for fifth metatarsal osteotomies. He cites the Acutrak cannulated screw (Acumed), saying its guide pins function as temporary fixation and the guide for the screws.
"I use two screws because I am concerned mostly with rotation since there is little bone to bone contact at the osteotomy site due to the size of the bone," says Dr. LaPointe, who is in private practice in Rome, Ga.
Dr. LaPointe says the Chevron itself is fairly stable and he adds to that stability by applying two screws. He allows full weightbearing but has patients use a modified controlled ankle motion walker to offload the osteotomy site for at least four weeks. Following that, Dr. LaPointe may remove the felt insert or transition the patient into normal shoe gear depending on the quality of bone and X-rays. He cautions his patients that erythema, edema and pain are signs that they should spend less time on their feet. Dr. LaPointe says he has yet to require complete non-weightbearing for a patient.

Displacement maps see like such strange and difficult animals until you learn to tame them. In this long overdue tutorial, I will teach you what you need to know about displacement maps in plain English, so that you can take advantage of the stunning effects that can only be created by using these maps.
This is the technique that will wrap your art around objects and (seemingly) magically make it hug every contour
Begin with a texture, you must be in RGB mode. I have another tutorial under textures that shows you how to create this rock surface. You can also just download it if you wish.
Click on the Channels palette and click on each channel until you find the one with the most contrast (dark to light). In this case it is the Red channel.
We need to make a new document out of the channel.
Either right click/Control+click on the channel area of the channels palette, or click on the top right arrow to open the drop down menu. Choose "duplicate channel."
Under destination>document, choose new.
Click ok
You will now have a new document. This will become our displacement map. Apply a 0.7 Gaussian blur (Filter>blur>Gaussian blur) to lower the sharp detail a bit. This will make for a smoother image in the end.
Save the document as a .psd, Any name will work, just remember it and the location. I put mine on the desktop.
We have now created our displacement map for use later on.
On our original document, click on the "RGB" to restore the default channel display.
Open the layers palette and add your artwork or text on a new layer. This is the content that you want to warp. Make sure you have everything you want to warp on one layer. If you have text, rasterize it now. (Right click on the layer palette next to the name and choose "rasterize layer" from the pop up menu.
Now lets apply the displacement map...
Use the settings shown here when the Displace palette opens.
Click ok
You will now see a browser asking you to choose a displacement map.
Navigate to the desktop and load the image we created at the beginning of this tutorial.
Click open
You will now see your artwork distort to hug the texture of the rock.
Lets jazz it up a bit.
Choose Overlay mode to add some realistic blending.
Duplicate the distorted layer to add a bit more strength to the effect.
Here is the result on the blending mode.
See how the color blends in with the texture.
Here is exactly the same image but with a variation.
I added an inner shadow layer style to the top layer and dropped the opacity of the second layer to 30%
I hope you had fun with this tutorial and learned a lot.
See you at the cafe

When I critiqued Sabrisse A's very first Metart erotic photo gallery I noted a moody, thoughtful quality in her presentation. Now I have the welcome opportunity to view her very first Metart HD erotic movie, "Muhica," and I can't help but wonder if the qualities I so enjoyed in her still photos would translate to motion pictures.
I have my answer almost immediately after pressing "play." And that answer is an emphatic "Yes!" Luca Helios, who shot this model's debut, is in the director's chair for "Muhica." While the artist also crafted a still photo collection at the same location — you'll find "Perenne" here — this is not one of those movies in which the video is shot over the photographer's shoulder as he shoots his pictures. "Muhica" is a stand-alone, no-excuses, short film, and quite a beautiful one, at that.

Comments about Giant Hairy Red Spider Decoration:
Purchased this spider to replace our old latex giant tarantula that has not weathered well. It is exactly what I had been hoping for. Unlike our old spider which was quite heavy and had to be anchored to the roof so that it didn't pull down our web, this spider is light weight (less that a pound) and sits perfectly on the web without weighting it down at all! I tied a piece of black string around it's middle and to the web just to anchor her to the web in case of a strong wind. It looks real enough sitting in the web that I am sure a lot of people will get a good scare out of it since we have the web over our front door! I love this spider and will most surely buy a couple more to add to the web or around it for next year as well! I wish there was an option to add a photo of it in use!

pretty good as the large spiders go. comes with legs almost rolled up so quite compact. but because the legs are rolled up, it's harder to straighten fully where previously folded.

YAKIMA, Wash. - Agencies in Eastern Washington are preparing for a possible invasion of stink bugs.
The bugs are already a nuisance to tree fruit growers.
However, a new species originally from Asia is slowly spreading across the western United States.
USDA researchers say the new type is already causing problems on the east coast.
Just last year, they found two of the bugs in the West Valley area of Yakima.
"It's in an area where it lacks biological control, so there are
things that normally keep pests and non-pests in check: predators,
parasites, diseases, that sort of thing," said USDA Entomologist Peter
The USDA is only monitoring the stink bug population right now.
They're currently testing ways to attract the bugs, to make traps more effective

The UK's National Oceanography Center has developed and launched three Autonomous Underwater Vehicles into the Atlantic Ocean to visitkansascityks.com detect signs of climate change. The AUVs will profile the top 1,000 meters of the ocean from the Canary Islands to the west coast of Africa.

Their main task is to monitor the the best place buy levitra australia heat circulation in the Atlantic that many scientists believe could slow down and, if it were to stop, could throw us into the next Ice Age.
These robots, if successful, will join a team of 25 other instruments that are continually monitoring data in locations throughout the Atlantic. The data these instruments are collecting will be able to tells us when changes occur and allow us to start planning a response more quickly if the worst seems to cheapest 50mg generic viagra be on the way.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) -- One of the most unusual court cases in recent history may come to a quick end Friday.
33-year-old Jessica Strom is accused of offering sex plus $1,000 to a former classmate to kill boyfriend and attorney John Schellpfeffer. She was recorded in a Wausau restaurant trying to hire a former classmate to kill Schellpfeffer.
Special prosecutor Ralph Uttke said last week he believes Strom is competent to stand trial and he expects her to enter a plea to charges of soliciting to commit homicide. We'll find out what that plea is at 2:30 p.m. in Marathon County court before assigned judge Neal Neilson.
Attempts to lower Strom's bond from $250,000 cash have been unsuccessful.
Strom's three children are being cared for by other family members.

FDA Metal-on-Metal Hip Replacement Conference Scheduled
After a massive recall beginning in August 2010, and thousands of DePuy hip replacement lawsuits filed against the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary that manufactured the ASR XL Acetabular System and the ASR Hip Resurfacing System, regulators continue to question the safety of all-metal hip replacements. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required 21 manufacturers, including DePuy Orthopaedics, to submit postmarket surveillance reports on their metal hip products back in May 2011. On March 29, 2012, the agency moved forward again by announcing an FDA metal-on-metal hip replacement conference.
New Committee Formed
The conference will last two days, June 27-28, 2012, and it will be open to the public. According to the meeting notice (PDF), the FDA will "seek expert scientific and clinical opinion on the risks and benefits of these types of devices based on available scientific facts." The name of the committee that will hold the FDA metal-on-metal hip replacement conference is the "Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee."
Because of the hip replacement failure symptoms recipients have reported, the committee will look into the following issues:
- Why metal hips fail and how
- Accurate methods of testing for metal ions in recipients' blood and tissues
- Local and systemic complications
- Patient risk factors
- Patient follow-up considerations
In its press release, the FDA quoted the deputy director of science at its Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Dr. William Maisel, saying, "We are asking outside scientific and medical experts to discuss recent information on these devices so that the agency can continue to make reliable safety recommendations to patients and their health care providers."
RLG Represents Those Injured by All-Metal Hips
With any luck, the committee will be able to use the knowledge it gains from the FDA metal-on-metal hip replacement conference to protect artificial hip recipients in the future. However, for those who have already received such a device, it will probably do little good. If you received a recalled DePuy hip, and you believe it injured you, it's important to know that the amount of compensation from a hip replacement lawsuit might be greater than what DePuy is willing to offer you through its recall reimbursement program. In a lawsuit, a plaintiff can recover damages for full medical expenses, lost income, transportation costs, pain and suffering, and possibly punitive damages. If you click on this link or call 1-877-312-3274, a hip replacement lawyer from the Rottenstein law group will discuss your case for free.

About Avalon OrganicsIt's in the name: Avalon Organics. Avalon Organics is dedicated to the expansion of organic agriculture and endeavor to select organic ingredients for their products to support the highest ideals of sustainable, organic agriculture, a cleaner environment and good health. Avalon Organics' devotion to Consciousness in Cosmetics defines an unwavering commitment: To create an extraordinary, unprecedented range of products that are inherently pure and safe while expanding the efficacy and vibrantly healthy benefits of natural body care. Avalon Organics honors you with Consciousness in Cosmetics. Take the time to honor yourself.
Since 1994, Avalon Organics has worked diligently to create exceptionally pure and effective personal care products. Avalon Organics is inspired by organic agriculture and the ongoing struggle towards true sustainability. Avalon Organics is humbled by a profound respect for the life of all things, as demonstrated by their use of 100% vegetarian ingredients and their rejection of animal testing at any level. To Avalon Organics, honoring the body with Consciousness in Cosmetics is a guiding principle in their continuous journey to make safe, natural and effective products. The road from 1994 to today has been exciting and meaningful. But 2012 marked their most profoundly rewarding period, as Avalon Organics announced the total reformulation of the brand so that every product they make could be certified to the NSF/ANSI 305 Standard for Personal Care Products Containing Organic Ingredients or the USDA National Organic Program. As they continue their journey, Avalon Organics is grateful for the privilege of sharing their body care formulas with you. They are humbled by this opportunity; it inspires them to create formulas that are satisfying, effective and conscious of your health and the environment we share together.
MissionAvalon Organics' Mission is Consciousness in Cosmetics. Through an integrated formulation strategy that governs their every choice -- from ingredients to manufacturing to packaging and distribution systems -- Avalon Organics seeks to respect the environment and the health and well-being of their consumers and the personal care industry.
First and foremost Avalon Organics purpose is to create an extraordinary range of truly effective personal care products that are inherently pure, safe and certified to the NSF/ANSI 305 Standard for Personal Care Products Containing Organic Ingredients.

Consciousness in CosmeticsThe skin is the largest organ of the body -- a delicate shield of protection covering us from head to toe. Much of what we put on our skin is absorbed directly into our body. For this reason, the products we apply to our skin must be truly clean and pure, natural and organic, made from ingredients that are effective and safe.
Consciousness in Cosmetics is the guiding principle behind everything they do at Avalon Organics.

Environmental CommitmentAvalon Organics is committed to reducing their ecological footprint to help preserve the planet, now and for future generations. Recognizing the need to be good stewards of all natural resources, Avalon Organics is dedicated to reducing, reusing and recycling across all areas of their business and they continuously look for new ways to help protect they planet, from the field to the factory to the shelf.
Packaging Choices. Avalon Organics uses environmentally friendly packaging and has a corporate initiative to continually seek out opportunities to further their sustainability and reduce their environmental impact. All of their packaging is recyclable and Avalon Organics deliberately seeks out only containers made from materials that is readily accepted by most curbside recycling programs. A majority of their plastic bottles are made from 100% post consumer resin and Avalon Organics strives to maximize the use of post consumer material in all of their containers. This creates a second use for millions of plastic bottles annually that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Avalon Organics unit cartons are made with 80% post consumer material and the paperboard is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, assuring that only responsibly sourced virgin and recycled fiber is used in its creation.
Please help Avalon Organics reduce landfill space and save precious resources by recycling all of your household packaging whenever possible. Together we can create a more sustainable future.
Carbon Footprint. Avalon Organics incessantly looks for new ways to reduce their environmental impact. Whenever possible, Avalon Organics sources packaging components and ingredients locally to reduce the carbon cost of transportation. Simple choices, like sourcing their containers from suppliers near their California manufacturing facility (rather than from Asia as so many personal care manufacturers do) can make a great difference in reducing carbon emissions.
Avalon Organics strives to run their business in a manner that promotes long-term solutions to environmental problems, maintains the integrity of natural ecosystems, and conserves the quality of air, water, and soil for our children's children.
NSF/ANSI 305Driven by their mission of Consciousness in Cosmetics and their commitment to organic agriculture and formula transparency, in 2012 Avalon Organics brand made the single most important decision since their founding in 1994: they chose to have all Avalon Organics products become certified to the NSF/ANSI 305 Standard for Personal Care Products Containing Organic Ingredients.
The NSF/ANSI 305 is an American National Standard written specifically for personal care products containing organic ingredients. Since it is not a food standard, it recognizes and allows certain safe processes and ingredients that are critical and unique to personal care product effectiveness.The standard establishes the materials, processes, production criteria, conditions and labeling claims for personal care products claiming to "contain organic content". To be certified, all formulas must contain a minimum of 70% organic content. All other ingredients may not be available in organic form and must be evaluated and approved by an independent scientific panel to minimize environmental impact during production and ensure safety for the product user.
Avalon Organics products are certified to the NSF/ANSI 305 Standard by Quality Assurance International (QAI). QAI is an independent third party certifying agency that NSF has entrusted to review applications and grant certification in accordance with the criteria established under the NSF/ANSI 305 Standard. When a personal care product features the NSF logo on its label, it demonstrates to consumers that it has been independently evaluated to meet the standard requirements.
This commitment to the NSF/ANSI 305 Standard is the next chapter in Avalon Organics journey to provide you with personal care products that are inherently pure, safe, effective and conscious of the greater good. Avalon Organics hopes you will join them on their journey.
Leaping BunnyAvalon Organics is humbled by a profound respect for all living beings and therefore never tests their products on animals or allow their ingredient suppliers to test their ingredients on animals. Avalon Organics commitment to the Leaping Bunny Program, as seen by the little leaping bunny symbol on their labels, is evidence of their outward commitment to this philosophy.
The Leaping Bunny logo is an internationally recognized symbol for cruelty-free cosmetics, personal care and household products. In 1996, eight national animal protection groups banded together to form The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (CCIC). This organization created and administers the Leaping Bunny Program, a cruelty-free standard for companies producing cosmetic, personal care, and household products. The Leaping Bunny Program provides the best assurance that no new animal testing is used in any phase of product development by the company, its laboratories, or suppliers.

Alina Fernandez, daughter of Fidel Castro, to Speak at Kean University on October 26
UNION, NJ - The Association of Latin American Students of Kean University will host a conversation about history and life in Cuba with Alina Fernandez, daughter of Fidel Castro, on Tuesday, October 26, at 3:15 p.m. in the University Center Little Theatre, located at 1000 Morris Ave. in Union, N.J. The event is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Alexa Cantres at email@example.com or 908.737.5284.
In her illuminating talk, Fernandez will share her first-person, intimate account of growing up in Cuba in privilege and privation. Through her insight as one of the Cuban elite, Fernandez will describe her life in Cuba and the surrounding political environment during the 1960's and 70's. Weaving in her unique sense of style and humor, Fernandez is known to reveal exciting and suspenseful anecdotes, snapshots of Cuban society, her inside scoop on Cuban politics, and a detailed view of her father.
Growing up in the political climate of Cuba, Fernadez became rebellious. In the 80's, she became part of the political dissident movement on the island. In 1993, she fled Cuba, and now resides in the United States.
In 1998 St. Martin's Press published her story, Castro's Daughter: An Exile's Memoir of Cuba.
Fernandez is a witness with a unique vision. She will also examine how the country changed after The Revolution, Cuba's future and the potential for reform and a better life in Cuba.
Founded in 1855, Kean University has become one of the largest metropolitan institutions of higher education in the region, boasting a richly diverse student, faculty and staff population. Kean continues to play a key role in the training of teachers and is a hub of educational, technological and cultural enrichment, offering more than 50 undergraduate degrees and more than 45 options leading to a master's degree, doctorate, professional diploma and/or state certification(s). Five undergraduate colleges and the Nathan Weiss Graduate College now serve more than 15,000 students.
