Backup Camera Supporters Urge Regulators to Finalize Vehicle Mandate

Secretary of Transportation repeatedly postponed making a decision on this legislation
Lawmakers in Washington have been considering a mandate that would force automakers to install rear view cameras in most all-new vehicles. Two members of Congress and parents of children injured (or killed) by inattentive drivers backing over them are now calling on regulators to finalize the regulations.
The advocates are urging the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to finalize regulations that have been
delayed four times
since 2011. Congress approved legislation in 2007 that was signed into law by President George W Bush requiring the government to set regulations for rear visibility by February 28, 2011.
However, that date has come and gone many times with Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood repeatedly choosing to delay making a decision on the rule.
The NHTSA has proposed standards that would have required automakers to install backup cameras on all new vehicles by the year 2014. The regulation was expected to be in effect by September of 2014 and was estimated to cost the auto industry in the area of $1.9 billion to $2.7 billion annually. The regulation would also likely increase the purchase price of new vehicles.
NHTSA administrator David Strickland recently said that the ruling would happen "at some point in the near future." He did point out that the rule is still under review, commenting, "We are still working through a number of issues. It's a very important rule for the department… We want to make sure we get it right."
The backup camera regulations are intended to help eliminate the blind spots on vehicles that could obscure pedestrians, particularly the elderly and children, from the driver's view. The NHTSA says that about 100 children age 5 or under die each year in backup accidents and more than half of those are one year old or younger.

Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) are a stand-out performer this morning, up 19 cents, or 1.4%, at $13.96, amidst a 1.7% selloff in the Nasdaq Composite Index, as a new raft of notes this morning continues a trend of projecting upside in the company's fiscal Q1 report that is expected to come out on Friday morning, before market open.
The consensus for the quarter ended in May is for $3.38 billion in revenue and 11 cents per share in net profit, according to FactSet, numbers that have crept up over the past several weeks, generally driven by a more positive outlook on the new BB10-based smartphones, the Z10 and the Q10, and especially the latter.
UBS's Amitabh Passi reiterates a Neutral rating and a $13 price target, projecting revenue of $3.37 billion and EPS of 10 cents, up from a prior $3.46 billion and break-even. At the time he drafted his note, presumably earlier this morning, Passi asserted his estimate was higher than what he then thought was consensus of $3.36 billion and 5 cents.
Passi models 3.7 million BB10-based smartphone shipments in the quarter, out of a total of 6.3 million. That compares to a prior estimate for 3 million BB10 units on a total of 7.7 million units:
With the channel having being drained quite aggressively over the past 8 quarters, we expect inventory to trend up this quarter and working capital to be a source of cash. We also anticipate operating expenses to rise driven by more aggressive marketing and sales activities, though recognize this is a lever in management's control (management guided marketing expenses up 50% q/q).
Still, Passi is skeptical BlackBerry will be able to continue gains in smartphones amidst intense competition:
We continue to believe Blackberry will struggle as the high-end phone market gets increasingly saturated, "enterprise" and "consumer" boundaries blur with BYOD, Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) (with Samsung) make inroads in the enterprise, and competition remains tough at the low-end with low-cost Android devices and alternatives from Firefox, Ubuntu. In our opinion, Blackberry lacks the scale, resources, as well as the content, ecosystem, and multi-screen strategies of its larger competitors that include Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Samsung, amongst others.
Anil Doradla with William Blair & Co. reiterates a Market Perform rating, projecting $3.55 billion in revenue and and 13 cents profit, projecting 9 million smartphone units shipped, including at least 3.3 million BB10 devices, but perhaps more than that.
BlackBerry is seeing a refresh cycle, writes Doradla, although at the same time he sees mixed trends between Z10 and Q10:
We expect a two-quarter uptick in BlackBerry's hardware sales, based on the phased global launch and pent-up demand from a portion of BlackBerry's 75 million-plus subscribers. With Q10 in particular, we believe we are witnessing a BlackBerry 10 refresh cycle. Consensus estimates call for 7.1 million BlackBerry 10 smartphone shipments during the May and August quarters combined, compared with our estimate of 10 million to 15 million Bold shipments in the first two full quarters of launch. While we sense that carriers are approaching the launch cautiously (avoiding large amounts of excess inventory), we still believe that channel fill and early upgrades will support 7 million-plus BlackBerry 10 shipments. For every incremental one million BlackBerry 10 smartphones, we estimate BlackBerry could earn roughly $0.13 per share […] The BlackBerry Q10 launch at T-Mobile (TMUS $22.82; Market Perform) and Verizon (VZ $49.52; Market Perform) has been lackluster, in our view. Despite some level of pent-up demand for the QWERTY version of BlackBerry 10 and exclusivity by two carriers, our checks suggest BlackBerry remains an afterthought in most stores and Q10 has not been a top-3 smartphone at either T-Mobile or Verizon. Across retail stores, Q10 uptake has been dominated by loyal enterprise users, which is now a shrinking niche that the Q10 has served well thus far. Consumers clearly favor the all-touch interface, and Z10 sell-through has languished since the Galaxy S4 launched.
Doradla notes the stock is cheap, but not cheap enough given his concern about long-term risks:
At 0.6 times our calendar 2013 sales estimate, the stock is trading well below its peer group. Although shares appear inexpensive, we lack confidence in BlackBerry's ability to regain market share in North America, and competition internationally is intensifying. Ultimately, we believe BlackBerry 10 is showing that the company is being relegated to a niche enterprise player for now. We maintain our Market Perform rating.
One of the least enthusiastic notes this morning comes form Credit Suisse's Kulbinder Garcha, reiterating an Underperform rating, and a $10 price target, projects revenue of $3.18 billion and EPS of 13 cents. Garcha doesn't believe BlackBerry will sustain success achieved in the past few months with the initial roll-out of the phones:
While the initial launches of BB10 have received decent traction in certain geographies, we question the sustainability of success given competition from recently launched HTC One and Galaxy S4. We currently assume 6.2mn smartphones (+3.3% qoq/-20.5% yoy) in May of which 3.4mn are BB10. In addition, we begin to see pricing pressure on Z10 as a few major U.K. retailers/carriers have started to give discounts 2 months after the launch, while in U.S., Z10 has lost shelf space at both AT&T and Verizon. Further, we believe BB10 GM improvement last qtr. was not all operational but partly benefited from a sudden $100mn drop of intangible amortization expense. This seems one time in nature; we estimate that initial BB10 GM's are 26% and do not see this as a basis for profitability.

Information from CNN.com and NYTimes.com.
One year ago this month, Boko Haram's ("Western education is sin" in English) leader Abubakar Shekau released a video announcing a new front in its attempt at forced Islamism: his fighters will begin abducting girls and selling them.
It is the recent abductions of nearly 300 girls taken from a school in Nigeria that has spawned global outrage and horror. The girls taken from a school by armed militants are still missing, possibly sold into slavery or married off. In an attempt to raise awareness, a #BringBackOurGirls campaign began on Twitter and has quickly spread with demonstrators taking to the streets around the world to demand action.

Student with gun arrested on UW-L campus
No one injured; campus safe
LA CROSSE, Wis. - University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Police arrested a part-time student who brought a gun on campus Thursday morning, according to Chancellor Joe Gow.
"It all happened very quickly," Gow said. "I was notified about it and the next thing you know, we apprehended this person."
Gow said he the incident happened around 9:30 a.m. Campus police told Gow a part-time student "in a manic state" was saying things that didn't make much sense. The student went to the police station and said some "concerning" things and mentioned Chancellor Gow and another person in the university's Student Life Office and said they "better stop calling my parents." Police told Gow the student then left campus police and went to his apartment. Police followed the person to his apartment, Gow said.

"He left and somehow got back on campus and we had a report that a person had a gun case," Gow said. The student was seen carrying a hunting shotgun on campus. He went into Cowley Hall and went into a classroom. At this point, campus police do not know why he entered the specific classroom.
Campus police quickly found the student and arrested him. Police told Gow the gun was not loaded and he didn't have any ammo. To his knowledge, Gow did not know of anything like this happening before on campus.
"It's a little unsettling," Gow said. "I've never had this happen in my career that anyone has named me, but I guess it comes with the territory. But I've never had any interaction with the student before."
The chancellor said the university was working on putting out a notice to students that they were going to need to lockdown, but then campus police were able to catch the student so quickly they didn't need to do that.
Gow said the university put out a notice via email and voice messages alerting students, employees and others about the incident.
No one was injured and there was no further threat to the university, police told Gow. The chancellor said he was proud of how fast campus police were able to find the student. Gow estimates that the incident took about 10 minutes--from the time the call came in there was a person on camput to police finding the student.
Campus police are working with City of La Crosse police on this case. UW-L Police Chief Scott Rohde said they haven't figured out what charges to recommend to the district attorney's office yet, but he thinks disorderly conduct armed with a weapon is a possible charge.
Gow says the student is currently undergoing a psychiatric evaluation.
Counseling services are on hand at the university for students and staff.

18 people were shot in Chicago's south side neighborhood last night, 13 at a playground.
Were is the outrage??????18 shot in 4 hours in attacks across city
Staff report
12:11 a.m. CDT, September 20, 2013
At least 18 people were shot, one fatally, in less than four hours in attacks in Chicago Thursday evening, police said.
In attack in Back of the Yards, 12 people, including a 3-year-old boy, were shot at Cornell Square Park, authorities said.
A 36-year-old man was shot near 77th Street and Sangamon Avenue about 6:56 p.m., said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Daniel O'Brien. The man suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body and was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital in critical condition.
The man was later declared dead, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
In the first shooting, a teenage boy was shot in the foot in the 700 block of West 72nd Street in the Englewood neighborhood about 6:35 p.m., said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Daniel O'Brien. The victim, who told police he had heard shots, then felt pain, but otherwise gave little information about the shooting, was in good condition at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
About 6:52 p.m. in the 3800 block of West 57th Place in the West Elsdon neighborhood, two men in their 20s were shot, O'Brien said. One was shot in the stomach, and the other suffered a graze wound to the thigh, and both had had their conditions stabilized at Christ Medical Center.
Just after 7:15 p.m., a 28-year-old man was shot in the stomach in the 5700 block of South Aberdeen Street in the Englewood neighborhood, O'Brien said.
About 10:31 p.m., a 21-year-old man was shot in both legs in the 5500 block of West North Avenue in the Austin neigborhood. An attacker came up to the man and shot him, then fled north on Luna Avenue, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Ronald Gaines.

by David Pietrusza - a story of the 1948 POTUS contest - this is the famous election where the talking heads all had Dewey beating Truman including the Tribune HL. The book is a slug at 412 pages but fascinating for one who wants a little history. Following are a few Highlights:
For Franco - Peter Seeger, a Henry Wallace (in a campaign run by the Commies) backer, singing "Dixie" to a hostile southern crowd & asking them to sing along with him as he recited verses unknown to them .
For those thinking people not paying Income Tax is new - there were 12 million of them not paying in 1948
& for those who thought Taft was conservative - the 80th congresses accomplishments -
the long term trend of extravagant & ill-advised executive action reversed - Good
Budget balanced & taxes reduced - Good
POTUS limited to 2 terms - Good
Assistance to vets their widows & orphans provided
Assistance to Ag & business enacted - we all see where that has gone
Elimination of poll tax as requisite to soldier voting
A reform of Labor Law -
A long range farm program enacted - This was at a time when a significant portion of the population were involved in in agriculture
Unification of armed services launched -
Military manpower act (the draft) enacted -
The UN fostered
A haven for displaced persons provided -
At least this is what they were proudest of - I know those were different times, but does anyone see the monstrosities that have grown from some of these programs???

Tigertones return from European tour
Posted July 18, 2001; 04:17 p.m.
The Tigertones, one of Princeton's premier all-male a cappella groups, recently completed a five-week tour of Europe. They visited England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Scotland, singing for such distinguished audiences as the U.S. ambassador to France, the American Cultural Society of Germany, and the American consulate general and the mayor of Edinburgh.
The Tigertones will be holding auditions for freshmen and sophomore men in the fall. They hope to add a few talented members for their upcoming performance at the Lincoln Center in New York City in November. That show will be a benefit concert for the charity organization Broadway Cares, and will include the Yale Whiffenpoofs and the Harvard Krokodiloes. Check their Web page for more information.

Family: Laridae, Gulls and Terns view all from this family
Description ADULT SUMMER Has dark gray upperparts and paler gray underparts including neck. Head is white, bill is proportionately long and red with dark tip, and legs are dark. In flight, note white trailing edge to otherwise dark wings (above and below), and white-tipped, dark tail feathers that contrast with pale rump. ADULT WINTER Similar, but head and neck are streaked and grubby-looking. JUVENILE Juvenile and firstwinter birds are dark brown with dark legs and dark-tipped, dull pink bill. Adult plumage is acquired gradually by successive molts over subsequent 3 years.
Dimensions Length: 18-21" (46-53 cm)
Habitat Breeds off western coast of Mexico (Feb-May); vast majority nest on Isla Raza in Gulf of California. Post-breeding birds move north along Pacific coast, and are common as far north as Vancouver Island Jul-Oct; thereafter range contracts south in fall and southern California is northernmost limit of winter range. Outside breeding season, favors sandy beaches, sometimes congregating in vicinity of river mouths.
Observation Tips Easy to see on many sandy beaches in California, Jul-Feb.
Range Western Canada, Southwest, Northwest, California
Voice Utters a harsh krrrh call.
Discussion Striking and distinctive, long-bodied and long-winged gull. Adult has unique combination (for a gull) of dark body and white head; takes 4 years to acquire adult plumage. Juvenile and first-year birds are dark brown and could be confused with immature jaegers or skuas; note, however, Heermann's lack of pale crescent at base of primaries, seen in those species. Sexes are similar.

There were rumors on the subject, but Attractions Magazine has visually confirmed an exclusive collection of build-a-droid parts at Disney parks. The bodies look to be the same, but the colors are new, and it looks like most (if not all) of the heads can fit hats (including Mickey Mouse ears, Indiana Jones' fedora, and the Yoda ears baseball hat). I'm sure they're going to be expensive as hell and probably difficult to obtain all the parts, but I absolutely love this kind of stuff.
The rumor is that build-a-droid is going to come back in place of Vintage next year. If anything's going to replace TVC, I'll be very glad if it's build-a-droid.

Reading recent diary entries about the "state of the community", I'm reminded of just how much the free software world has changed in the past ten years.
Free software used to be very neighborly-- hacks written by motivated individuals. Now it's political, with most packages molded by committee. As a result, free software has lost the human face it once had. Not long ago, you'd hunt down individual packages that included README files along the lines of:
Hi, thanks for using [package]! If you enjoy [package], drop me a line! I don't want money for my work, but if you want to give me something, [I/my husband/my wife/my child] collect [coins/postcards/matchbooks] from around the world! My address is [locality]. Enjoy!
Nowadays, the sum of my interaction with the author of a software package is likely to consist of
$ apt-get install foo
dpkg says that I have slightly over six hundred seperate free software packages installed on my laptop. I can name the authors of maybe ten of them. Since everything is precompiled and GPL'd (or equivalent), I have no reason to even look at the READMEs. It's all very impersonal.
It's difficult to get involved now-- or at least, to feel like you're getting involved. You put up projects or patches and you get downloads, but no responses. It's difficult to gauge whether your work is appreciated, or even welcome. So while free software is more popular and widely used than ever, there's far less human encouragement. (Watching a download counter turn over does not qualify as "human encouragement".)
Ha ha! Bring back the gonzo licenses! Up with postcardware! The shareware people had it right all along!

24 breaks for bookworms

Southeast across the Badung Strait, encircled by a mixture of white-sand beaches and mangrove, the tiny island of Nusa lembongan (4km by 3km) is an ideal escape from the bustle of the south. Seaweed farming is the major occupation here, supplemented by tourist income from surfers, snorkellers, divers and anyone seeking attractive beaches, a bit of gentle exploring and an addictive somnolent atmosphere.
Ranged along the west coast for over 1km, the low-key beachside village of Jungutbatu has plenty of losmen and restaurants. Coconut Beach, Chelegimbai and Mushroom Bay (Tanjung Sanghyang) to the southwest and Dream Beach on the south coast offer more upmarket accommodation, and Mushroom Bay is the destination for day-trippers from the mainland. This can disturb the peace in the middle of the day but does little to detract from the idyllic white sand and turquoise waters.
You can walk around the island in three to four hours. Motorbikes and bicycles are widely available for rent in Jungutbatu, though you will have to dismount and push your bike up some of the very steep hills.
Three surf breaks, aptly named Shipwrecks, Lacerations and Playground, are all reached from Jungutbatu. You can paddle out to Shipwrecks from the northern end of the beach, and to the other two from Coconut Beach around the cliffs to the south of Jungutbatu, but if you are staying further away you can charter a boat. There are several sites for snorkelling accessible by rented boat around the island. Further away, the Penida Wall and Crystal Bay, close to the neighbouring island of Nusa Penida, are also popular. World Diving also take snorkellers, if there's room on the boat and the site is suitable. The area around the islands is popular for diving, although the sea can be cold with treacherous currents so it is important to dive with operators familiar with the area. Manta Point off the south coast of Nusa Penida is renowned for mola mola – although sadly during high season this generally means you can't see any that do turn up, due to the huge crowds of divers surrounding them.

A third of adults don't wash their hands after they use the bathroom. Two thirds don't wash their hands after sneezing or coughing. And with germs able to survive up to 48 hours on some surfaces, whatever doesn't get washed off will end up on door handles, tables, remote controls, dishes, and light switches–and will be passed from person to person.
Scared yet? You should be. All in all, experts estimate that 80 percent of infectious diseases get transmitted by touch. In honor of Clean Hands Week, take a look (but don't touch) this infographic–and pass it on.

Attack SubPosted in Project Vehicles on July 1, 2005 Comment (0)
Steve Frisbie doesn't want to understand the Jeep thing. This Missouri State Highway Patrol Sergeant, aka the owner of Missouri Offroad Outfitters, is an incorrigible fan of fullsize trucks. In his book, bigger is unquestionably the only way to go, whether on the road or trail. You may remember Frisbie's previous truck, a daily-driven/trail-ready bright yellow Blazer from the September '01 cover of Four Wheeler. That rig was an impressive machine for sure -- but apparently not big enough, because he recently built this enormous, bulletproof '89 Suburban V2500 to encore that performance.
We caught up with Frisbie in Moab at the Easter Jeep Safari, where we saw the huge, yet amazingly agile, SUV in action. It was impressive, to say the least. Also notable is the fact that this truck is no trailer queen. Frisbie drove the Suburban to Utah from his home in Missouri--while towing a camper. It's no wonder he calls the truck the "MOOVER," which is an acronym for Maximum Occupancy Offroad Vehicle Equipped for Rockreation.
The interior is a combination of luxury and functionality. Here you can see the front of the truck, complete with Wet Okole-covered seats, Tuffy security box, LeCarra steering wheel, and thick carpet. What you can't see is the cargo area, which is stripped of carpet and covered in Ameraguard bedliner material. This area is packed with a variety of recovery tools as well as a Craftsman bedside drawer-style toolbox and a Power Tank.
Due to its long wheelbase, Frisbie knew there was a high probability that the 'Burb would occasionally drag its belly over trail obstacles. With this in mind, he fabricated this transfer-case skidplate/crossmember from solid 1.25-inch cold-rolled bar stock and 0.25-inch cold-rolled steel plate. This unit offers solid protection and support for the NP203/205 transfer-case setup, which was accomplished using an Off Road Design Doubler Kit and an Advance Adapters transmission-to-transfer-case adapter.
All of the Suburban's exterior modifications were designed to serve a functional purpose. There is no irrelevant bling on this truck. To enhance the departure angle, 8 inches were removed from the rear quarter panels, and the bottom of the panel moved up to retain the factory look. The front fenders were also shortened on the leading edge, and the rear of the wheel openings were cut and reformed to allow for suspension travel without tire-to-fender contact. A pair of custom rock sliders resides under each rocker panel, and they're designed to carry the weight of the vehicle by placing the outriggers at critical points on the frame where the transfer case crossmember/skidplate carries the load from side to side. The no-frills Missouri Offroad Outfitters front bumper/grilleguard not only holds a MileMarker hydraulic winch, but also offers two attachment points milled from 1-inch-thick cold-rolled steel. The custom Missouri Offroad Outfitters rear bumper sports a pair of D-rings, a hinged license-plate mount for access to the receiver hitch pin, and wraparound fender protection. Up top is a Goodmark steel cowl-induction hood and a Con-Ferr Porthole roof rack with aluminum treadplate floor. All of the driprails were removed and the truck received all new rubber seals and weatherstripping during its body-off buildup. The truck was painted DuPont Millennium Yellow by James Harden of Marshall, Missouri, with assistance from Mills Motors of Marshall.
The rear axle/suspension combination is simple, beefy, and effective. The full-float 14-bolt axle has a Detroit Locker to guarantee that torque is being split to both wheels for maximum traction. Gearing is 4.56:1 to compensate for the larger 37-inch tires. A stout Missouri Offroad Outfitters Rock Bruiser diff cover with built-in skidplate protection replaces the thin, easily damaged OEM cover. A pair of disc brakes pirated from the front of a 3/4-ton Chevy truck are mounted to the axle via a pair of custom 3/8-inch-thick brackets. The Sub's suspension consists of a pair of Superlift 5.5-inch-lift leaf springs mounted to an ORD shackle flip kit and a pair of Pro Comp MX6R 8-inch-travel remote-reservoir shocks. These shocks mount to a pair of unique Missouri Offroad Outfitters products; an Over the Top axle truss and a shock-mount crossmember. The neat thing about the Over the Top axle truss is that it moves the lower shock mounting location to the top of the axlehousing, allowing for less chance of trail damage as well as more suspension flex. A Missouri Offroad Outfitters Wrap Zapper is also bolted to the rear axle, and it helps alleviate axlewrap. Unrelated to either the rear axle or suspension, but noteworthy nonetheless, is the custom fuel-tank skidplate seen in the upper part of the photo. This massive unit is constructed from four solid pieces of 1.25-inch solid cold-rolled bar stock and 3/16-inch steel plate. Frisbie says that this unit is strong enough to hold the entire weight of the Suburban without flexing.
One of the many impressive things about this Suburban is the attention to mechanical detail. Take, for instance, the workings of the front end, which have been extensively modified to ensure function and durability. The front axle is a Dana 60, sourced from a Chevy dualie pickup, and it has been fitted with a Detroit Locker, 4.56:1 gears, and a Missouri Offroad Outfitters Rock Bruiser differential cover. The steering system has been engineered for extreme duty and features a crossover steering conversion using Off Road Design steering arms and Missouri Offroad Outfitters heavy-duty tie rod and drag link. A Missouri Offroad Outfitters engine crossmember has also been installed to eliminate the drag-link-to-crossmember contact commonly experienced when crossover steering is installed on these vehicles. A wide range of Performance Steering Components products have also been installed, including a pump, remote reservoir, steering gear, and hydraulic ram assist (the heavy-duty pump and remote reservoir come in handy for running the hydraulic MileMarker 12,000-pound-capacity winch too). The hydraulic ram assist is fastened to the vehicle via a Missouri Offroad Outfitters bolt-on mount. Further, Frisbie completed a variety of frame modifications to ensure that the steering box wouldn't tear from the frame. Finally, the flexy suspension consists of Superlift 6-inch-lift leaf springs and Pro Comp MX6R remote-reservoir shocks.
Frisbie ditched the stock 5.7L V-8 engine in favor of a more high-performance roller-rocker-equipped 5.7L out of a '93 Chevy Camaro. This engine was bored and stroked by the folks at Maschmeir Racing in Blue Springs, Missouri, and fitted with Keith Black pistons, an Isky camshaft, Dart heads, flow-matched injectors and riser plate, MSD ignition, and Jet-Hot-coated Doug Thorley Tri-Y headers. Other mods include a serpentine belt system from a '93 Chevy truck, custom four-core radiator, dual electric Flex-A-Lite fans, remote starter solenoid, hand throttle, Exide battery, high-flow catalytic converter, single 3-inch-diameter exhaust system, and Series 40 Flowmaster muffler. The engine power is sent downstream to an NV4500 five-speed transmission with Centerforce clutch that's controlled by a hydraulic clutch master cylinder from an '87 Chevy. This transmission has been fitted with a Dodge tailhousing and an Advance Adapters bracket so it will mate to the NP203 transfer case.

Especially when working with darker shades, be sure to prime your lid before applying shadow. We love Stila's Prime Pot because it creates the perfect canvas for your color and keeps it in place for hours.
Availability: In stock
Even if you have drawers full of shadows, mascaras, and liners, you won't be able to get the most out of them if you don't have the right brushes. Beauty is Life's Special Eyeshadow Brush is one of our essentials. It allows us to highlight our brow bones and define our creases in just a few effortless swipes.
To contour, choose a color that is a couple touches darker than the shade on your lid and apply in a gentle and fluid back and forth motion to the deepest hollow eye (note: don't apply to the entire crease, just the outer corners). You can also use this brush to pick up a shimmery highlighter and dust over your brow bones.
I bought this because my daily brush keeled over. It turned out to be a great purchase - it's softer that I thought it would be and a great blender brush. Price belies its value.
This is a good brush to use for the crease of your eyelid. I dont really use it for anything else.
I agree that this type brush is pretty valuable when it comes to applying eye shadow. I bought this one because I already had a similar one that I liked. I now use one for light colors for use near the brow, and one for darker colors to apply to the crease. It works well.

We're at the halfway mark of the summer, and it's been interesting. The male HGs are dwindling and picked off one by one, the female HGs are conniving. Howard wasn't the smartest player (what' with talking in riddles? You're not Yoda!) but he was a strong player.
Love how the America's Vote is screwing with their heads.
We're really needing a good old-fashioned endurance HOH. Not this piddily 1-hour HOH that GM won. A good one that lasts all night.

Keep your family safe this summer by following these tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
Infants and small children are not able to regulate their body temperature in the same way that adults do. Every year, children die from
heat stroke from being left in a hot car, often unintentionally, with the majority of these deaths occurring in children 3 and under.

"This is the first car I've ever driven and I feel it was a good start for my driving career. Its very fast and performs beautifully except for some turbo lag, and an extremely small turning radius. Parking is tough but I feel now that I can park fine with this car parking with anything else will be a breeze. The hardest part of parallel parking is the lack of visibility in the rear but any decent parker shouldnt have too much of a problem. Reliability: This car is expensive to maintain through Volvo and probably any car shop, but its never broken down or stalled on me so i suppose reliabilty comes at a literal price. Quality: The interior is very nice and aesthetically pleasing. However the cupholders are poorly designed but you shouldnt be drinking anything that doesnt fit in them anyways. The leather is beginnning to wear away on the seats in some places but its not very noticable and the car is 6 years old, so. Performance: This is the fastest car ive driven to date, and ive driven S60's and BMW 5 series. Its a rocket, i will never forget the fun ive had driving this car on backroads. I dont know what else to say, if youre looking for a 17,000 dollar convertible thats incredibly fast buy this car (2001) make sure you get the HPT (high pressure turbo) version. Driving on the highway is bliss. Styling: Modest yet attractive, unlike most cars from 2001 the c70 is very nice looking, especially in darker colors. Most people dont know what it is until they see the Volvo slash on the grille. Personally i think the front end is a bit ugly but with a new grille maybe an R bumper and some clear headlights it would look fantastic. I dont have the money to buy these things, or the incentive, it looks fine for what it is. Comfort: The seats are deep and have seat warmers, im average sized (5'10") and the back seats are fine even for long rides as long as youre passenger is understanding. The sound system is amazing but doesnt get too loud, which is probably a good thing in some cases. It does not play MP3 cd's however but an aux in can easily be installed from . The ride quality isnt great on rough roads but i personally like feeling the road beneath me compared to cars that are so cushioned you dont know what youre driving on. This car has its drawbacks, but its love/hate i feel. It depends on what kind of driver you are/driving youll be doing."

Cons: "steering ratios. You can't make a tight u-turn."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7
"Only one real issue. The turning radius is awlful. This car goes straight really well but try to park it and it screams and complains. I've had it for 50K plus miles and use it mainly on the highway. mileage is pretty good, very good at high speeds and pretty efficient. It's a little tight in the back seat but i don't think I've ever had anyone in the back seat. Overall I like the car."

"This is my second c70. I dislike the turning radias and poor vision backing up. Also, Volvo could do a better job with the cupholders. Here they should take a page from Lexus. However, that being said I still love the car. Great styling and seats are about the best around, particularly on long trips. I am retired so comfort is a must. Car also has lots of room in the front for moving around. Very responsive and defenitely a crowd pleaser. Top is well insulated and have had absolutely no problems with leaks. The ropes safety system for rollovers was a factor in us purchasing this vehicle. Fortunately we have not had to use it. We had considered purchasing a used Saab but after reading their reviews, think we'll stay with the c70"

"Upside: Good looking, safe, 27mpg. A lot of class and fun for the money. Downside: Spent $5K in 2 years for repairs. Fuel pump, brakes, oil system leak, front bushings groan when turning. Can't get many parts w/o going through Volvo. I really WANT to love this car, but the repairs, groans, squeaks each month are making it difficult to keep."

"Better performance than one would anticipate from a convertible. Very sporty ride with above average acceleration. Great car for the spring, summer and fall months. Not a great car if you have to transport more than 1 child at a time with the top up."

Tiny microbes = big dollars
Gold!! Gold in them thar microbes . . .
An immune system for Algernon?
I haven't read it (yet) but heard Daniel Keyes' 1960 short story/1966 novel is a sci-fi masterpiece. And it's the first place my mind went upon reading about this fascinating breakthrough by researchers at Yale.
I guess it doesn't sting, which is a plus - clearly we need no more stinging/biting/blood-sucking creatures on this earth - but my real wonder is what's next, and why rat heart muscle?
All fun & no viruses make little Johnny a sick boy?
This was of particular professional interest to me, as the return of young Americans to school has meant I'm now slogged with patients most every shift. Considering though that day care is a year round operation, we see less of the "September slam" from it in urgent care as ...
This is almost as bad as the movie version of "Jonathan Livingston Seagull"
Which, if you've seen it, means this is pretty darn bad! A study whose results were recently released found that seagulls - those playful winged scamps that flich food from us at the beach - have played an interesting role in the spread of resistant bacteria throughout the globe. Here's ...
Dr. Robot (he kind of looks like one) is telling you . . .
. . . to do YOUR part to help stamp out what are now called STI's. Funny how as our knowledge of STI's and our ability to treat them has bloomed, our societal level of comfort with such PSAs seems to have withered. I used to see ...
In the beginning . . .
The NIH was just one guy, one lab, but probably more than one microscope - and it was on Staten Island, not a sprawling campus in Bethesda, MD. A fascinating read to be sure.
Good news? No, Great News!
Title says it all me hearties - anything, repeat, ANYTHING that we can count as a victory, no matter how small against HIV is worthy of celebration. While a new generation of anti-retrovirals have reduced (somewhat) it's status as a "death sentence" diagnosis, they have also obscured the fact ...
Coming soon to a theater nearest you? The Living Laser!!!
As we speak both DC & Marvel are patenting the name, various likenesses, and a number of origination storylines to explain our hero's rise from humble microbiology lab assistant to the costumed crime-fighter who strikes fear in the hearts of evildoers everywhere.
Prozac to E.Coli, other microbes: you die now
The only question we must ask ourselves is the one question every dime-store Freud asks us when we plunk down on their couches: "how do you feeeeel about this?"
Inspector Google is on the case, tracking down a most wiley quarry
This is straight up, solid-gold good news. After all, I just learned today that CA (for Community Acquired) MRSA infections now account for 60% of the SSTI's (that's Skin & Soft Tissue Infections) that are diagnosed nationwide. Anything that can help track, tag, & eventually bring to ground ...
Flying Foxes to Humans: no thank you Sirs, we would not like another
Once again proof positive of a narrative we've been perfecting since the first knuckle-dragging caveperson clonked some lesser species in the head w/ a fire-hardened tree branch: man meets animal, man negatively effects that animals existence, man goes on merry way. Now though, the animals have found a way to even ...
*Note to the reader: summertime is bedbug season. Cue that skin-crawling feeling . . . now
Working in urgent care medicine, I freq. come across patients who complain of "spider bites", "ant bites", or "tick bites" that inevitably turn out to be MRSA infections. Perhaps though those poor souls are onto something - or maybe they just overnighted in a low-rent fleabag motel on their ...
Just when you thought it was safe to make a nice open-faced turkey sammich
Thankfully I'm not over 50 yet (just feel like it!) but this still gives me pause - in addition to all the other things that meat packers & such already spray or inject into my Smithfield Deli ham slices, now I gotta worry about Listeria? Furthermore, how will I ...
Maybe the virus just wanted up-close & personal w/ their favorite teams?
After all, one of the NBA's hallmarks these days is to create an experience by which "every fan" can enjoy the game - glad to see the Norovirus is getting in on the act . . .
For an idea of what early life looked like, look no farther - than cancer?
Quite an idea here, made me think of the part in the Matrix when the nefarious Agent Smith refers to humanity as a "virus" - seems like he was a little off-base.
Use Soap?
Scrub a dub-dub.
From the"weird science" files, it's gross, but amazing if it works
C. Diff infections are on the rise & antibiotic potency is on the decline, so perhaps the solution is closer to us than thought - in the stool of our loved ones.
In need of companionship? Look no further than about the middle of your abdomen
Really, this just takes the cake for the ultimate DIY science - culturing bacteria from your own belly button & seeing what pops up - fascinating!
Game on!
In case anyone needs it, I have a copy of the classic 80's tome "The Winner's Book of Video Games" which provides several sure-fire Pac-Man patterns that ensure victory (+ maxi points) on each level. With any luck, those patterns SHOULD hold true at a paramecia level . . ...
Now cancelling my plans to pop on over there for some authentic Lamb Rojan Josh :-(
Read a piece that detailed the idea that the world could effectively "run out" of antibiotics as "a nightmare scenario". No joke. Considering how often each worknight we're reaching for the appropriate antibiotic to knock out a case of Strep or a wicked Otitis Media, the possibility that all the Z-paks or ...
Rapid results test for TB
TB is on the rise in the last decade, w/ London being rather hard hit. Hopefully this new testing method, promising faster results that could speed up treatment for the infected, provides some much-needed Christmas cheer to those battling this nasty bugger.
RSV - we meet again!
Ahh the Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus - more commonly known as RSV. The last 2 times we' ve met it's been sick infants, ambulance calls, & in 1 case a hospital admit. In the United States, 60% of infants are infected during their first RSV ...
Nuthin' fights STI's like cartoon awareness films
A vintage piece of STI (or VD as they were known back then) education, courtesy of our nation's fighting sailors. Personally, I think Count Spirochete is due for a comeback - he's much cooler than this cartoon spirochete I dug up via G-image search. Props to the good people @ ...
An AIDS breakthrough courtesy of stem cells
Read it & weep, AIDS virus - your days are numbered
The greatest thing since sliced bread
Or maybe greater - though I'm sure the makers of the many, many OTC products aimed @ cold-sufferers might fight tooth & nail to keep this one under wraps. Well, nuts to them - shout this one from the rooftops!
Seems like we're never truely alone - even when we're by ourselves
However, I do believe their incredible numerical advantage grants them something - a certain Soviet despot supposedly said "Quantity has a quality all it's own" - that demands we stay on good terms w/ them.
Got one nasty sucker here folks . . .
Seen here via immunohistochemical staining of a gastric biopsy is the Heliobacter Pylori bacteria, or H. Pylori if you're in a hurry. Able to survive the intensely acidic environment that is the human stomach, H. Pylori actually gets downright comfortable there. The bacterium has flagella and moves through the ...
Why we should wash our hands regularly #3
When I first saw this photomicrograph of Haemophilus influenzae via immunofluorescence, I thought of the opening days of the first Gulf War, when CNN showed wall to wall images of the bombing of Baghdad. The crude nightvision technologies available at the time rendered everything in that green/black/white style very ...
Why we should wash our hands regularly #2
Because it isn't just for Establishment squares anymore! As WellBee - debuted in 1964 - so aptly illustrates, (in a slightly dated style, considering the presence of readily available finger-nail toothpicks) simple hand washing is the most important tool available to prevent the spread of a whole host of infectious characters. As ...
Zoonotic villains #6 - Streptococcus group C
Mmmmm, kinda looks like couscous right? Well, though it might resemble a tasty side dish that's beloved in the Maghreb, it's actually a gnarly bacteria that causes URI's (upper respiratory infections) in both humans & animals. Humans can prevent it by refraining from drinking unpasteurized milk, especially milk taken from an animal ...
Why we should wash our hands regularly #1
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common bacterium which can cause disease in animals and humans. An equal opportunity offender, it uses a wide range of organic material for food; in animals, this versatility enables 'ol Pseudomon here to infect damaged tissues or people with reduced immunity. The symptoms of such infections ...
Corona - but not the kind a good guest brings to your summer picnic
Remember SARS? Or the last time you had a nasty cold? Lay your troubles at this bad-boy's door. In fact, SARS-CoV - the Corona variant that causes SARS - has the rather unique quality of causing both upper & lower respiratory infections, and gastroenteritis. Note as well ...
Here's the one that got me, Doctor
Having recently (and barely) recovered from a tangle w/ this character - the Norovirus - I've a new found respect for it's potency. After all, anything that can reduce a grown man to a weak as a kitten, aching, cursing his immune system wretch should be rightly acknowledged as ...

Zoonotic villains #5 - the Rabies virus
Ahh Rabies, we meet again. When I worked in vet medicine, it was amongst the few diseases that everyone - doctors, clients, support staff, human law enforcement officers, etc. - knew & feared. Maybe it was it's nearly undefeated record & lethal reputation that drove such caution. ...

An ounce of prevention . . .
As the old saying goes, can beat a pound of the Shigella bacteria, seen here penetrating the intestinal mucosa of some poor soul. Killing approx. 1 million people annually - most of them children, Shigella is best prevented by two simple strategies: washing hands before handling food & thoroughly ...
Zoonotic villians #3
See those round, fuzz-ball looking things? You're seeing Lassa fever, up close & personal courtesy of a TEM microscope. Another of those fearsome hemorrhagic fevers, Lassa virus is a member of the Arenaviridae family. If you learn nothing more about Lassa fever, learn about Aniru Conteh. For over two decades, ...
Zoonotic villains #2- Ebola virus
Since it's 1st recorded outbreak (1976) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Ebola River Valley, the Ebola virus has been known - and feared - for good reason. Why, you may ask? Ebola hemorrhagic fever is potentially lethal and encompasses a range ...
Zoonotic villains #1 - Marburg virus
Saints preserve us from this one. A highly contagious hemorrhagic fever, Marburg is less well known that it's cousin Ebola, (they're both members of the deeply troublesome Filovirus family) but no less deadly.
One bad mamma-jamma
The 1918 Spanish flu epidemic was caused by an influenza A (H1N1) virus. Responsible for more deaths during World War I than all the bombs, bullets, poison gases, & artillery shells used, it killed more than 500,000 people in the United States, and up to 50 million worldwide. The possible ...
Negative stain smallpox virus
Magnification 65,000X. Smallpox is a serious, highly contagious, and sometimes fatal infectious viral disease. There is no specific treatment for smallpox disease, and the only prevention is a smallpox vaccination.
"By golly, Jim... I'm beginning to think I can cure a rainy day!" - McCoy
While Bones might be overestimating his skills there a mite bit, I think the simple "old country Doc" would see the potential for this therapy to move us more towards the sort of medicine he's accustomed to practicing. However, if he does work that rainy day cure out, I ...
Faux fighters - researchers replicate artificial antibodies, diseases dismayed
Proof that to be truly innovative, one must never accept the status quo. The idea that this process could be made easier/faster/cheaper - simply by reversing the steps involved & embracing, rather than resisting it's randomness - must have been a classic "eureka!" moment for the scientists involved. ...
Mean genes from parasite link Sturgeons to humans
We've over-fished & polluted their habitats, scrambling the species to a point where you have to filet these poor creatures just know which restroom they use! Now one of our parasites is compromising their love lives - I'd say our finny friends here have a very justified bone to ...
Single folks take note - scientists say there are plenty of options
And here I was worried about whether I would be able to have sushi, fishsticks, or eat at Long John Silver's in a few years. With 5,000 (or more) new species, if I'm willing to eat creatively & have plenty of wasabi/soy sauce on the side, I won't go ...
In cancer treatment, Time is of the essence
It seems that cancer & I both resent the unnatural degree of control that clocks exert over our existences - though my resentment manifests as a relatively benign hatred of the alarm's keening wail every morning. Cancer's resentment creates a much more malignant problem, one that science can hopefully ...
Evolution: 1, Computer designers: 0
Nothing like dynamiting a commonplace metaphor & getting some interesting research in the bargain. To be fair, E. Coli & other organisms have spent millions of years in competition to survive, while we've only been building computers for about 60-odd years. Still though, perhaps this will help software/hardware ...
Who are you, what are you, and what are your intentions here?
The potential uses of this new detection array - public safety/security, rapid diagnostics, product testing, and others - are so valuable, I hope the Lawrence Livermore National Lab researchers who developed this get a very well deserved round of applause. Great work!
An Industrial Revolution in the lab?
Industrial manufacturing - a process that's given us products ranging from Model T's autos to cheap transistor radios - may have gotten a toehold in the research lab now. Given the commercial potential inherent here, I wouldn't be surprised to see an IPO from the developers of this technology ...
Them bones, them bones, them dry bones
As a person whose suffered mult. fractures (toes, fingers, thumb - that was a tough one, foot, wrist, etc.) due to various sports & other injuries, I can personally attest to the value inherent in this discovery. While I'm not looking forward to my next break, hoping this compound will be ...
Leptin joins the fight in the battle against Sepsis
Sepsis is a highly dangerous - very often lethal - inflammatory condition caused by the body's response to microbes in the blood, lungs, or other areas. Even with ICU treatment involving antibiotics & fluids in large doses, 20-35% of patients suffering from severe sepsis die inside 30 days. ...
Another small step for man, but a giant leap for microbial-kind?
Seems the microbes we share spaceship Earth with have figured out the best way to run a low-cost, no frills space program. Makes me wonder if bacteria from Buzz Aldrin (met him one time & shook his hand, so in a sense, I've gotten closer to the Moon than ...
This is the future of computing
The title isn't hype - upon reading this an entire world of possibilities stretched out before me. Limitless potential, just hopefully not for SkyNet - from what I've seen that machine is nothing but trouble . . .
I'm all ears!
This mechanical-chemical-biological tour through how human hearing works - or doesn't work, and the implications that has is worth the read. Here's hoping as well this research bears fruit & helps end hearing loss/deafness.
Almost out of this world life found right here on Earth
Fantastic stuff! An oxygen-free environment, this lake is packed with life more adapted to Saturn's Titan than our blue planet. Furthermore, the idea that some of these micro-organisms create water by digesting the hydrocarbons they lives their lives in - maybe we can hire them to clean up ...
More good news from the world of dog saliva
Fetching our newspaper & slippers, guarding the homestead from intruders, alerting us that Timmy has fallen into the old well - and now this. if we could determine which of our cave-person ancestors had the brilliant notion to domesticate these critters, that knuckle-dragger deserves an award for service to ...
In the beginning, there were Ribosomes
Reading this reminded me of a guiding principle often espoused by my father: KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid!
Fragile X marks it's spot by altering brain pathways
Like many, in my pre-teen years I watched pro wrestling for it's entertainment value. Years later I came across the tragic case of wrester Chris Benoit, who murdered his wife & young son before taking his own life. Rumors had it that the highly athletic & competitive Benoit ...
Great news, if I can observe sick people via binoculars or telescope
How would this affect hypochondriacs I wonder? Probably degrade their mental state whilst simultaneously boosting their immune response. Maybe videos of sick people should be shown in hospitals too, unless there is a point where the positive effect drops off. Either way, interesting stuff. ...
Bacteria versus Virus - the age old struggle
Fascinating piece, something I had never really considered before - the idea that bacteria can get sick, similar to the idea can soap get dirty eh? Hopefully the anti-vaccine crowd won't get all up in arms about this, they've done enough damage in the human population already. Also ...
New kids on the molecular block
Great news here - the sort of thing that should lead on CNN or Fox but never will in my lifetime. However, since this advance may significantly extend my lifetime by subduing a variety of gnarly diseases, perhaps I'll eventually be proven wrong.
Take that Dengue fever, & how 'bout some of this!
As if I needed another reason to hate mosquitoes, thankfully the ones that transmit Dengue fever don't hang around the DC Metro area much. Guess this just proves that old say - "the bacterium enemy of my viral enemy is my friend" - even truer than it was before. ...
The little molecules that could . . . help us unravel TB?
The more I read about Mycobacterium tuberculosis the more I'm strangely impressed by it. It's subtly devious, patient - notice how it can persist inside a host for decades - and fearsomely adaptive. A worthy adversary, to be certain.
Good for you but don't do it in public!
When I worked at a vet hospital people asked me all the time whether dog's mouths were cleaner than humans. I always told them it was an old wive's tale & wondered about their personal hygiene. Turns out I was wrong!
In Soviet Russia, TB bacteria takes drugs for you!
Really though, even Yakov Smirnoff would be worried about this one - bacteria put Big Pharma's R&D to shame, evolving resistances much faster than we develop new antibiotics.
"Come over baby/whole lot of shakin' goin' on"
Perhaps Jerry Lee Lewis's rock n' roll classic will soon be topping the charts of virologists world wide!
Tobacco bacterias are potential cause of URI's

Dog Flu in Virginia Prompts Quarantine of Kennel

Leukemia is a type of blood cancer that begins in the bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft tissue in the center of the bones, where blood cells are produced.
The term leukemia means white blood. White blood cells (leukocytes) are used by the body to fight infections and other foreign substances. Leukocytes are made in the bone marrow.
Leukemia leads to an uncontrolled increase in the number of white blood cells.
The cancerous cells prevent healthy red cells, platelets, and mature white cells (leukocytes) from being made. Life-threatening symptoms can then develop.
The cancer cells can spread to the bloodstream and lymph nodes. They can also travel to the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system) and other parts of the body.
Leukemias are divided into two major types:
The different types of leukemia are:

Real World Applications – Algebra I
What's the total cost of college?
Student Exploration
Students will use direct variation to understand the cost of attending a four-year university.
Student will need:
- Access to internet
The Process:
- Research a four-year university you would like to attend.
- On the university's website, find how much it costs to attend that university each year.
- Create an equation to represent the total cost of attending the university.
- If I only wanted to spend a total of $20,000 on college, how many years would I be able to attend?
- If I wanted spend six years attending this university, how much would it cost?
Extension Investigation
- During a student's first two years living on campus at a four-year university, what would the constant of proportionality be? Why?
- Would this be a direct variation relationship? Why or why not?
- What is the equation associated with this relationship?
- What is the difference between the equations of the proportional relationship and not proportional?

The first generation of women who changed Wall Street
Cultural anthropologist Melissa Fisher '85 has always had an interest in women pioneers. As a girl, she would delight in her grandmother's stories of being one of the few women attending the University of Pennsylvania law school in the 1920s. "The other students said they knew her by the click-clack of her high heels in the hallway," says Fisher, a visiting scholar in the Department of Social & Cultural Analysis at New York University.
That image of a woman standing out in a man's world inspired Fisher's interest in the first generation of women working on Wall Street. In her new book, Wall Street Women (Duke University Press, 2012), she details stories from women who pioneered in professional finance in the 1960s and 1970s. They began as anomalies in a world dominated and populated almost entirely by men, and went on to positions of wealth and power. The stories are told in the women's own words (all names were changed in the book and this article*) in a series of interviews that began in the 1990s, went on through the market meltdown of 2008, and concluded in late 2010 with a roundtable discussion among the women. They cracked the glass ceiling, making success in the financial industry a possibility for other women, and their influence still resonates. They also helped to feminize the market, according to Fisher, who believes, like many, that women provide a necessary balance, a long-term focus, and an aversion to risk that today's market requires. Although the number of women on Wall Street has decreased in recent years, there are those market- watchers who believe a feminized market is a safer one for the average investor.
