Illustration: Charles Wilkin I am not an optimist. I don't believe that the glass is half full, or in making lemonade when life hands me lemons. I am the granddaughter of four Eastern European Jews who fled Poland to escape pogroms. I am a pessimist; when it is sunny, I look for rain; when the phone rings after 10 p.m., I start planning the funeral. My favorite joke is: "Jewish telegram—'Start worrying; details to follow.'" I tell you this so you will not think of me as a perky, upbeat, blonde person, in denial of every dark emotion she has ever had. Nor am I religious, or even sure I believe in God. I am dark; my hair is dark; my eyes are dark. As both an intellectual and a cynic, I have trouble admitting this but here goes: Having breast cancer changed my life—for the better.
Lots of survivors say something like this. I have even heard some say, "Breast cancer was the best thing that ever happened to me." I had always viewed this remark with skepticism—"Boy, that must be one great antidepressant..." I had the bad mammogram on March 13, 2001, the first day of spring break. I was 42 years old and had two daughters, 6 and 8. The year before, the technician had taken one picture, come back and said simply, "You can go home." "I can?" I asked. I had expected worse. In 2001, I got it. The technician took the first picture and came back for another. And another. And then they made me wait for a sonogram. Then they made me wait to talk to the radiologist. He was unsympathetic—grouchy even—and unmovable. "You are going to want to have this looked at," he said. He didn't say, "It's probably nothing, but..." That's what all my girlfriends had heard. But he wouldn't say that. Instead, when I pushed him for any comforting words, he said gruffly, "Well, if it's cancer, we've gotten it early." I have nothing cheerful to say about the next three and a half months. It was all horrible—the waiting was the worst. After that initial mammogram, I waited three weeks for a biopsy. I knew it was cancer. The husband of a best friend died suddenly from an aneurysm. I didn't even feel I could complain. At least I was alive. My friends tried to cheer me up. Nine out of 10 biopsies are unnecessary, they said. You're so young, they said. But your mother never had breast cancer, they said. I knew I had cancer. Just as I'd known I would not "just lose" the 40 pounds I gained during my first pregnancy. "Oh, it just slips off," women said. "Slips off?" I thought. "On me, it is not going to slip off so fast." And I was right. My mother's friends said, "Oh, she'll have a lumpectomy and radiation and be done with it." I didn't believe that either, and I was right. After two attempts to get clean margins, I had a mastectomy on the right side; the following year when the tech found precancerous cells on the left side, I had one on that side. So after having a double mastectomy by the time I was 43, where is the bright side? On the medical side, I had some good news. The first tumor had been small, its cells nonaggressive. The oncologist did not recommend chemo. And because I had no breast tissue left and the chest wall was uninvolved, I did not need radiation. Plus—big bonus here—because I had no more breasts, I would never have to have a mammogram again. Now you're jealous, admit it. From the October 2007 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

A bill that would allow some people to erase their court and police records has been sent to the governor, but it's unlikely she'll sign it.
Lawmakers passed the bill that would allow victims of identity theft, people wrongly arrested or people convicted of misdemeanors to expunge their records.
Supporters say having public records of wrongful arrests make it hard for people to get jobs.
The governor opposes the bill and vetoed a similar one last year.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Officials from the state's largest community foundation hope changes to its grant program will improve the quality of life for the people it supports across the region.
The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation is changing its grant program to focus on seven forms of community wealth -- intellectual, individual, social, natural, built (or infrastructure), political and financial.
"In the past, we've looked at each of the nonprofit partners and the programs they've done," said Becky Ceperley, president and CEO of the foundation. "With this new look at community wealth, we'll look at all of the nonprofits and how they impact the measurements of wealth."
The foundation held a training seminar Wednesday at the West Virginia Housing Development Fund's office in Kanawha City.
The Ford Foundation's Wealth Creation Strategies is the focus of the new approach, and it will guide the Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation as it tracks what forms of wealth are being funded and which are not.
The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation is one of the first in the country to use the seven forms of wealth in its grant application, Ceperley said. Ceperley learned of the funding method through the Appalachian Funders Network, an organization for which she serves as steering committee member. The Ford Foundation provided resources and knowledge to help the foundation implement the new grant application process, she said.
"We're excited to be able to work with nonprofit organizations in helping to contribute to the quality of life of the families in our community," Ceperley said.
The new grant application process was the focus of the training session Wednesday that brought together representatives from 80 nonprofit organizations in Kanawha, Putnam, Boone, Lincoln, Fayette and Clay counties.

Over at Archescope, they've distilled Bill Baker and Michael O'Malley's classic book on management, Leading With Kindness, into ten bite-size insights. It's worth a look even if you don't believe in the power of the stars to shape our destiny.
The Business of the Performing Arts in the 21st Century, sponsored by Fordham and taught at the Juilliard School's Lincoln Center campus, is a 14-week plunge into the business realities of the institutions that populate and profoundly influence the American cultural landscape—from the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic on down to the smallest regional dance and theater companies. Baker's goal isn't to depress his hopeful audience, he says, but rather to inspire them to beat the odds by understanding the industry they're entering. [full article]
[Wednesday, February 20, 2013]
User beware. The well-known expression caveat emptor has taken on new meaning in the sphere of content consumption, and it will be evermore important in the absence of rules for unfettered service to all Internet subscribers.
If you haven't been following the net neutrality conversation, here is a brief background and the case for why you should be interested.
In 2007 Comcast throttled BitTorrent on its network. Peer-to-peer (p2p) file sharing was slowed while other Comcast subscribers' use continued without any interference. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which has clear authority over broadcasters and telecommunications, but less clear authority over Internet access providers, tried to censure Comcast for discriminating against p2p sharers, but the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit determined that the FCC had exceeded its authority. Of course, Congress could always enact legislation prohibiting such discrimination, or granting the FCC clear authority to regulate the Internet, but to date, Congress has done neither.
Fast forward to December 2010. The FCC adopted three Open Internet rules. The rules were then published in the Federal Register in September 2011 (47 C.F.R. 8). Basically, the rules provide for: (1) Required Disclosure of Network Management Practices; (2) No Blocking Access to Legal Sites; and (3) No Unreasonable Discrimination Against Competing Applications. Publication in the Federal Register permits opposition to challenge the rules before they take effect. Verizon has done just that, and prepaid wireless provider MetroPCS has joined Verizon's suit.
In the most rudimentary terms, Verizon's arguments are (1) the FCC does not have the authority to enact its Open Internet Rules, and this is merely an extension of the case between Comcast and the FCC; (2) the rules are unconstitutional and violate the First and Fifth Amendments; and (3) the rules are "arbitrary and capricious," as the need for these rules is not supported by any significant problem, and the rules apply to a single class of service providers where, in the Internet economy, many others are capable of engaging in the type of "gatekeeping" that the rules seek to prohibit. Of course, the FCC asserts that its authority to adopt the Open Internet Rules is reasonably interpreted from the Telecommunications Act. Also, the FCC asserts that the rules are consistent with the First and Fifth Amendments, and based on substantial evidence.
The merits of these arguments should be given serious consideration, but there is no need to address them here. The D.C. Circuit will entertain the arguments of both parties. Perhaps Verizon wins on the basis on the FCC lacking authority, but then the crux of the matter still remains: should the Internet be treated as a set of unrestricted pipes, at least as far as lawful content is concerned?
It's worth noting that at the annual State of the Net Conference, held on January 22-23, 2013, Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, delivering the Keynote address, stated, "Should the court overturn the FCC's rules, I'll be prepared to introduce legislation clarifying the commission's authority to ensure a free and open Internet." Certainly, one representative's view of the government agency's authority is not quite the same as having clear Congressional authority to enact Open Internet Rules, however, Congresswoman Eshoo's statement indicates the conversation on Network Neutrality will not have its last day in the D.C. Circuit.
She rightfully suggests that Open Internet Rules provide basic "rules of the road," which ensure a necessary protection for consumers: Internet users, i.e. you. These rules would prohibit ISPs (Internet Service Providers) from having sole discretion over decisions to slow users' ability to access the content of their choosing, whether it be to stream video, download music, or conduct research. Until this protection is clearly afforded to Internet subscribers though – user beware.

guest commentary by
by Fred Cunningham
Economics is a complex subject. However, the public's lack of understanding of some of the most basic concepts, like supply and demand or microeconomics and macroeconomics, has led to a Congress that is being directed by ideology promoted by a few very wealthy people with special interests rather than by reason. Reports by Blinder and Zandi and Congressional Research Services and other data indicate that the Bush tax cuts on the wealthy are a big factor in the increase of the national debt and in the transfer of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy. Factions in Congress that are adamant about no tax increase are preventing reasonable discussions. A proposal is made that the engineering concept of feedback be introduced to the tax code that would tie a tax increase on the wealthy to any unemployment rate over 5%. The revenues would be directed to projects like infrastructure renewal that would increase employment directly and indirectly by increasing demand. The long term consequences of economic ignorance threatens the position of the US as a world leader.

The 2014 award recipient will be announced January 2014.
The prestigious Pezcoller Foundation–AACR International Award for Cancer Research was established in 1997 to annually recognize a scientist of international renown:
The award is intended to honor an individual scientist. However, more than one scientist may be co-nominated and selected to share the award when their investigations are closely related in subject matter and have resulted in work that is worthy of the award.
The award consists of an unrestricted honorarium of €75,000, commemorative plaque, and full support to the winner and a guest to attend the AACR Annual Meeting. The winner of the 17th Annual Pezcoller Foundation-AACR International Award for Cancer Research will give a 50-minute award lecture at the AACR Annual Meeting 2014 in San Diego, CA, U.S.A. (April 5-9, 2014).
Nominations are closed.
Nominations may be made by any scientist, whether an AACR member or nonmember, who is now or has been affiliated with any institution involved in cancer research, cancer medicine, or cancer-related biomedical science. Candidates may not nominate themselves.
Nominations must be submitted online at https://proposalcentral.altum.com, no later than 4:00 p.m. United States Eastern Time on Thursday, September 12, 2013. Paper nominations will not be accepted. Full nomination instructions and program guidelines are available through the link below and on the proposalCENTRAL website.
The winner will also present the Ninth Annual Stanley J. Korsmeyer Lecturein Padua, Italy, just prior to the official award ceremony in Trento, Italy, in May 2014. Remarks to be made during the ceremony must be delivered to the Pezcoller Foundation at least four weeks prior to allow sufficient time for translation into Italian. Should the winner be unable to participate in either event, the award must be forfeited and may be presented instead to the alternate.
In the rare event that there are dual winners of the award, the cash award will be shared equally between them, and the AACR Executive Committee will determine which of the two co-recipients will present the Pezcoller-AACR Award Lecture at the AACR Annual Meeting.
This lectureship has been created through the Pezcoller Foundation, the Venetian Institute of Molecular Medicine, and the AACR to honor the late Dr. Stanley J. Korsmeyer's outstanding and significant contributions to our understanding of the mechanisms that regulate programmed cell death and survival.
Dr. Korsmeyer's numerous accomplishments in the cancer field led to his being named the recipient of the Pezcoller Foundation-AACR International Award for Cancer Research in 2004. He subsequently presented a lecture at the Venetian Institute of Molecular Medicine – his last European lecture before his untimely death from cancer in 2005.
Through this lectureship, the Foundation, the Institute and the AACR wish to remember Dr. Korsmeyer in the manner he would have liked best – with the presentation of significant science and discussion among colleagues in cancer research. The lecture will be presented annually by the recipient of the Pezcoller-AACR Award, and will be delivered each year in May at the Venetian Institute of Molecular Medicine in Padua, Italy.
The Pezcoller Foundation was established in 1980 by Professor Alessio Pezcoller, a dedicated Italian surgeon who made important contributions to medicine during his career and who, through his foresight, vision, and generous gift in support of the formation of the foundation, stimulated others to join this effort in sustaining the work of the foundation. Professor Pezcoller has inspired scientists around the world to make significant advances in cancer research. In addition to sponsoring this prestigious award, the foundation also sponsors a series of symposia, publishes a journal, and supports awards for early-career scientists from Europe who have submitted highly rated abstracts for presentation at the AACR Annual Meeting.

Dr. Peter K. Vogt delivered his award lecture titled PI3K - From Simplicity to Complexity and Back, at the AACR Annual Meeting 2013 in Washington, D.C. The award ceremony and lecture were held on Monday, April 8, 2013. Visit the AACR Annual Meeting 2013 page for more information on the Annual Meeting.
Dr. Peter K. Vogt was honored for his efforts to further understand the causes of cancer. His discovery that the Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) causes cancer through the activity of a single gene was a turning point in cancer research, and one that has greatly contributed to our current understanding of cancer's genetic mechanisms.
Dr. Vogt has spent his entire career in cancer research, much of it focused on studying cancer-causing viruses. In 1970, he published his seminal work on the genetic basis of the cancer-causing capability of the RSV. He subsequently made several further pioneering discoveries, including the identification of several genes that are important in driving human cancers: MYC, JUN and PI3K. His more recent studies have led to the ongoing clinical development of numerous agents designed to target cancer-causing mutations in PI3K.
Dr. Vogt received his doctorate from the University of Tübingen in Germany, and completed postdoctoral training at the University of California, Berkeley, before becoming associate professor of pathology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver. He then served as professor of microbiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, and then as the Hastings distinguished professor of microbiology and chairman of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Southern California School of Medicine in Los Angeles before moving to The Scripps Research Institute.
Numerous accolades have been awarded to Dr. Vogt, including the California Scientist of the Year Award (1975), the Ernst Jung Prize for Medicine (1985), the Robert J. and Claire Pasarow Award (1987), the Bristol Myers Award (1989), the ICN International Prize in Virology (1989), the Charles S. Mott Prize from the General Motors Cancer Research Foundation (1991), the Gregor Johann Mendel Medal from the National Academy of the Sciences of the Czech Republic (2008) and the Albert Szent-Györgyi Prize for Progress in Cancer Research (2010).

I see where, in Los Angeles, a soon-to-be 101-year-old driver backed his Cadillac over a curb into a group of grade school kids and their parents, injuring 11 of them.
We must take immediate action so this kind of tragedy does not happen again. The solution is so clear and easy. We must ban automobiles or at the very least, Cadillacs.
While were at it, if well just ban silverware, we can end the dubious American distinction of being the most overweight county in the world.

Enjoy the earthy flavors of the Southwest with this steak fajita. The steak and vegetables are grilled and then stuffed into flour tortillas for a tasty, quick dinner. The marinade in the recipe works well for the steak; however, you can save a little time by substituting a purchased fajita sauce.
Corn and roasted red peppers give color and flavor to the side salad. Here's how to make it:
Corn salad: Defrost 1 cup frozen corn kernels by microwaving 1 minute or placing in a colander and rinsing with hot water. In a bowl, combine them with 4 cups ready-to-eat salad and half a cup sliced, roasted red pepper. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons reduced-fat vinaigrette, and toss to coat.
Nutrition: This meal contains 559 calories per serving with 36 percent of calories from fat.
Wine tip: A malbec from Argentina is just the ticket.
Substitute: Roasted red pepper is available in jars or cans in the condiment section of the supermarket.
Save time: The steak and vegetables can also be cooked on a stove-top grill or in a heavy skillet.
Tip: To keep the vegetables from falling through the grill grates, use a grill screen or mat.
To buy: 1/2 pound skirt steak, 1 bottle chili powder, 1 bottle ground cumin, 1 red or green bell pepper, 1 package 8-inch flour tortillas, 1 bag ready-to-eat salad, 1 package frozen corn kernels, 1 bottle reduced-fat vinaigrette, 1 can olive oil spray, 1 jar or can roasted red peppers.
Staples: olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, onion, salt, black peppercorns.
STEAK FAJITAS Marinade:
1/2 pound skirt steak
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 cup sliced onion
1 cup sliced red or green bell pepper
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Olive oil spray
2 (8-inch) flour tortillas
Poke holes in the steak with a fork to allow the marinade to seep in. Mix the olive oil with the vinegar, garlic, chili powder and ground cumin. Brush over the steak on both sides and set aside while you prepare the other ingredients, about 15 minutes.
Grill the steak 5 to 7 minutes for medium-rare, 145 degrees. Grill a few minutes longer for medium, 160 degrees. When done, remove the steak from the grill and let rest on a carving board for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
While steak grills, spray the onion and bell pepper with olive oil spray. Place the vegetables over direct heat. Cook the vegetables until they are tender, 8 or 9 minutes for the onions and 6 or 7 minutes for the bell peppers. Remove to a serving dish.
Wrap the tortillas in foil and place on the grill for 2 minutes to warm, turning once. Remove to a serving dish.
To serve, cut the steak against the grain into 1/4-inch slices. Place the warm tortillas, sliced meat, onions and peppers in separate serving dishes. Each person can make their own fajita by placing the fillings in the center of each tortilla. Wrap and serve.
Per serving: 459 calories (39 percent from fat), 20.0 g fat (5.7 g saturated, 11.5 g monounsaturated), 56 mg cholesterol, 28.8 g protein, 41.2 g carbohydrates, 4.9 g fiber, 329 mg sodium.

The show at New York's Minskoff Theatre is the final act and crowning highlight of the miniseries. The 60 finalists prepare for the big day. In just six hours, the lights will go up, the theater will be filled and, with the downbeat of the orchestra leader's baton, it'll be show time. Going into the final competition awards show, all of the judges have a short list of top contenders, but during the show itself, they'll be asked once again to give scores to the leading performers based on the group performances and individual medleys. At intermission, the judges will cut the group to six finalists. Those six will perform their solos, and after another round, the judges will choose the two winners. In the words of director Van Kaplan, "This week ... is going to shape their whole lives, whether they go into the theater or not."

I was going to film a little vlog for you guys, but then I got the flu/laryngitis/pharyngitis. I've lost my voice and I feel like ass. As a peace offering, here's a leedle sketch. I've got lots of art to show you, and lots of cool things in general coming your way, so stay tuned. :)
A little late to the party. Things have been a little rough on my end, but with the help of my ridiculous amazing (and good-looking) support network, I'm stayin' optimistic.
Sometimes it can be tough to stay positive amidst adversity, and sometimes the path seems unclear. Slacking off is an easy option. But the most important thing is that at the end of the day, you believe in what you can achieve, and you keep stepping forward with conviction.
Meet your fears head on and leap into 2013.
Had some time to go to Life Drawing again! Our model was the lovely Ali. Done using soft pastels.
Hmm, not sure if anyone is interested, but if you'd like to purchase the originals (they're pretty big, about A2), then give me a buzz.
The art direction, animation and quality of this ad is awesome. Clever marketing campaign. It reminds me of Don Hertzfeldt's work, as well as Happy Tree Friends and Friends. The glue guy is my favourite. Too bad Metro is unreliable as hell.
Just taking a break from commissions to make a little something for you guys. The year is almost over, and I know that it's been a tough one for many of you. But know that no matter how difficult things are and may be in the future, you can do this. You are stronger than you know.
Click through to download the desktop wallpaper version. :)
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that now that I have (finally) graduated, and have returned from my (long ass) hiatus, I will be completing the remaining Art for Japan commissions, and posting them online.
I apologise for the long wait many of you had to go through while I completed my degree and put my life back on track. I am grateful for your patience and understanding.
Please note: I will not be taking any new commissions at this time. I will announce it here (and on all my social networking sites) when I reopen for commissions.
This is Viet-My (also known as Meezy, Pixie-Bitch, VM, Vee, or Ravenskar for the fanboys).
We acknowledge that we often give each other a hard time. She thinks I'm a loser, I think she's loser. However, despite our bickering and often trivial disagreements, we always seem to see the funny side and have a laugh at the end of the day. I'm pretty lucky to have her in my life as both a close friend and inspiration.
She happens to draw/paint pretty things, so you can check out her work at her website vm-bui.com (Don't forget to follow.)
This photo of me was taken by my good mate, Boon. I've been pestering him about making a Tumblr for ages, and I'm so glad he's finally given in! He's a kind and decent fellow, and is actually pretty good at this photography thing. So check him out. ;)
Get Trucked Illustration // 20 September, 2009
I was looking through my archives and was surprised to find that I never posted this. This was for Just Another Agency's (then known as "696") annual group exhibition, Get Trucked. All profits from the event went to CanTeen.
It was one of my first traditional media projects, and I remember drawing a blank as to what to use. I didn't have any paints at home, so I went with the ol' fineliner.
It was an extremely time-consuming process. I was using pens with tiny nibs & I couldn't get overzealous lest they bled through the fabric. I finished it in one looong 10-hour sitting in a café. (I ended up getting a free drinks for my efforts!)
It was so, so much fun doing something quite different, kind of typographical and illustrative. I should do more of this kind of stuff.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Kenny Guiton again starred in place of the injured Braxton Miller, setting a school record with six touchdown passes - all in the first half - to lead No. 4 Ohio State to a 76-0 victory against Florida A&M on Saturday.
It was the most lopsided Ohio State win since 1935.
The Buckeyes (4-0) needed a total of four offensive plays and 46 seconds to go up 21-0 in the opening 6 minutes and never looked back. It was an epic mismatch between a team with national-title aspirations and a Football Championship Subdivision member getting a $900,000 guarantee.
FAMU (1-3), which suffered its worst loss ever, trailed 48-0 before picking up its initial first down in the second quarter.
Guiton completed 24 of 34 passes for 215 yards.

9 Truths to Understanding Dry Skin
Published: Monday, October 1, 2012
Updated: Monday, October 1, 2012 16:10
colder weather approaches, dry skin tends to accompany. It may not be viewed as a serious medical condition, but curing your dry skin will help improve your appearance, your mental stability and your overall health.
No. 1. Having naturally oily skin is a good thing
Medical professionals on WebMD.com assure us that "normal, healthy skin is coated in a thin layer of natural lipids, or fatty substances. They keep in moisture, leaving the skin soft and supple." That being said, stop blotting your oils and embrace them!
No. 2. There is such a thing as a bad moisturizer
Typically, lotions that are scented or contain alcohols in their ingredient lists will only irritate dry skin instead of help moisturize. Thick and greasy moisturizers may be needed in order to lock in moisture, but lighter creams may also fit to your dry skin needs. Lotions that drip from your palm when you flip your hand over are not beneficial for curing dry skin.
No. 3. North Dakota's less humid air might not always be a plus
Dry air, especially when cold, will "draw the moisture right out of the skin," says Barney Kenet, a dermatologist at New York Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical Center. Protect your skin from the cold winter winds by wearing plenty of warm clothing.
No. 4. The shower is not ideal for singing an entire playlist-full of your favorite songs
Those natural oils on your skin serve as a protectant, and large amounts of hot shower water can easily wash them away. Try to limit your showers to only a few minutes and turn the dial more toward the cooler temperature gauge. Then, dermatologist Kenet recommends that you "pat your body dry with a towel -- rather than vigorously rubbing it -- and put on a moisturizer right away" to trap moisture in your skin.
No. 5. Washing your hands is always beneficial—but only with the right soap
Similar to shower water, soap can peel off the "good" oils on skin if too much is used. The type of soap you use is also an issue. Try avoiding harsh, fragrant antibacterial soaps because, as Vesna Petronic-Rosic, MD, states, "the bubbling and lathering from soap removes the oils from the surface of the skin and dries it out."
No. 6. Wearing itchy clothing should not be the price you pay for beauty
Not only will itchy clothing make you feel uncomfortable, it will most likely continue to irritate your skin, making it even itchier. Petronic-Rosnic points out that "dry skin is especially sensitive to contact irritants," such as sweaters or other types of itchy clothing.
No. 7. Dry skin can cause acne
According to Francesca Fusco, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, "dry skin can have microscopic cracks and fissures in which bacteria can multiply and cause acne." Flakes of dry skin can also clog pores, which often results in acne.
No. 8. Dry skin can prompt premature wrinkles
During the aging process, the middle layer of skin thins, becoming less elastic and causing wrinkles to form. When skin gets dried out, it has the same effect on the middle layer of skin, therefore producing wrinkles.
No. 9. If symptoms persist, dry skin is a condition that deserves medical attention
Contact your doctor if the above home remedies are not improving the condition of your dry skin. Medicine or creams can be prescribed, along with many other treatments to help relieve the itchiness or irritation you feel from dry skin.

A tiny South Pacific airline is pioneering a controversial pricing model that charges passengers based on their weight. The WSJ's Lucy Craymer talks about why Samoa Air is launching this new pricing model.
WELLINGTON—In an era where cash-strapped carriers are charging for luggage and meals, a tiny South Pacific airline is pioneering a radical pricing model that no other airline has dared to try: charging passengers based on their weight.
Customers flying Samoan upstart carrier Samoa Air Ltd. on short international hops to neighboring American Samoa are set to pay US$0.92 per kilogram, or $0.42 a pound, for each flight.
Samoa Air, which operates with smaller planes, charges passengers according to their weight. Samoa Air
Samoans are renowned for their girth. According to the World Health Organization, about 55.5% of the country's population over the age of 20 is considered obese. Passenger weight is a major concern for Samoa Air because it only flies a fleet of small propeller planes that seat between three and 10 passengers each. That means a significantly overweight passenger could drastically reduce a plane's capacity, which could threaten revenue.
Weigh In
"It's a pay by weight system and it's here to stay," Samoa Air Chief Executive Chris Langton told The Wall Street Journal Wednesday. He noted that while a 160-kilogram person on Samoa Air will pay four times as much as a 40 kilogram person, the airline would ensure more space for the bigger passenger.
"We are like a shopkeeper; we are selling weight. But with the weight goes the responsibility of being able to seat the passenger comfortably," he said.
The move prompted heated discussion on Samoa Air's Facebook FB -1.61% Facebook Inc.

When I first read this it kind of hurt. However, truth does hurt sometimes and I am all for getting people healthy."
The Wall Street Journal
Others were fully supportive of the move, saying it was long overdue.
"The only people [complaining] are the heavy ones…at the post office when you have to pay extra for posting a heavy parcel; it's the same thing," wrote another poster.
While Samoa Air's model could prompt a shake-up in the profit-starved industry, many of the world's airlines have so far been reluctant to capitalize on passenger weight because of discrimination concerns.

More quote details and news » require passengers who can't fit in a regular coach seat to buy an extra ticket when flights are full. They don't, however, charge passengers per kilo or pound.
Passengers booking online with Samoa Air are asked to provide their approximate weight and that of their luggage before being given an estimated fare. However, passengers tempted to lie about their weight are warned on the website that they will be weighed ahead of boarding, which is standard practice for passengers boarding very small propeller planes.
Mr. Langton said knowing each passenger's weight ahead of time allows the airline to change the configuration of an airplane to accommodate larger passengers. Samoa Air, which launched in June, flies regularly between Samoa and American Samoa, along with a handful of domestic flights.
Mr. Langton said the new model is considered family friendly as it charges children not for the seat they use but by their weight.
The airline plans to extend this pricing model when it introduces the Airbus A320 jet aircraft later this year. "We're going to craft the aircraft so that the passenger who pays more [because of their weight] gets more," said Mr. Langton.
Still, while this pay-as-you-weigh method may prove effective for a small commuter operation like Samoa Air, some analysts question whether the model would make business sense for large commercial carriers.

"Airlines everywhere are trying to boost on-time performance, improve aircraft turnaround. The less time the aircraft is on the ground the better," Lin said.
"Do [they] really want to weigh every passenger before they board? I don't think so."

Colombian general Mauricio Santoyo Velasco pleads guilty
WASHINGTON (AP) - A retired Colombian police general has pleaded guilty to a charge that he aided a drug-trafficking paramilitary group classified by the U.S. as a terrorist organization.
Mauricio Santoyo Velasco pleaded guilty Monday in federal court in Alexandria, Va., to one count of conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, the far-right United Self-Defense Forces of Columbia, known by its Spanish initials AUC.
Santoyo was chief of security for Colombia's then-president, Alvaro Uribe, from 2002 to 2005 and also served as a top anti-terrorism commander.
He acknowledged in a plea agreement that from 2001 to 2008 he took bribes to help the AUC thwart anti-trafficking efforts by the U.S. and Colombia.
The 53-year-old Santoyo faces between 10 and 15 years in prison when he is sentenced in November.

Ten undrafted free agents to keep an eye on as lockout ends | Story Highlights Notre Dame's Ian Williams could fill nose tackle needs for the Broncos or RedskinsDuring the combine, Kendric Burney's stock dropped after lackluster 40 timesFor teams looking to develop a starter on offense, Ray Dominguez is a good pick |
The feeding frenzy to gobble up the remaining undrafted players is about to get started after a two-month delay due to the lockout. More than 300 players who were not selected in April's draft will be signed by NFL clubs in the coming days. So who could end up as this year's LeGarrette Blount or Sam Shields -- players who slipped through the cracks in the 2010 draft and went on to produce every Sunday after signing as free agents? Here are 10 names to keep an eye on.
1) Ian Williams/DL/Notre Dame: Williams saw his 2010 campaign cut short and red flags raises after he suffered a knee injury midway through the season. Despite performing well at the combine, he slipped out of the draft's seven rounds. But he has legitimate NFL ability with the potential to play several spots on the defensive line. Rated as a fifth-rounder on many draft boards, Williams could be a steal for any team needing a nose tackle, such as the Denver Broncos or Washington Redskins.
2) Derrick Locke/RB/Kentucky: Locke is another who fell out of the draft after sustaining a knee injury during the 2010 season. The dynamic playmaker has been compared to Dexter McCluster, the second-round phenom of the Kansas City Chiefs last season. Locke produces as a running back, pass catcher or kick returner. He'd be a great fit for the St. Louis Rams or Miami Dolphins, a pair of teams in need of a versatile skill player.
3) Jeron Johnson/S/Boise State: Johnson, one of the most complete defensive backs available in April's draft, was rated as fourth-round value by several teams around the league. He was dogged by a hamstring injury throughout the pre-draft process, which undoubtedly hurt his draft stock. The Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars and Seattle Seahawks, safety needy teams, could be in the market for his services.
4) Kendric Burney/CB/North Carolina: Burney, considered a top-75 pick after the Senior Bowl, watched his draft stock plummet after the combine when he struggled to break 4.8-seconds in the 40. His skills and instincts were some of the best from the senior class yet his lack of speed remains a concern. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears, teams that can protect Burney in their cover-two defensive scheme, would be likely candidates for the talented cornerback.
5) Terrance Toliver/WR/LSU: The 212-pound possession receiver was red-flagged by teams after a shoulder injury was revealed. Toliver has shown the skills to be a dominant, go-to receiver who physically beats down opponents for the reception. The New Orleans Saints or Philadelphia Eagles would be a good home for Toliver.
6) Tim Barnes/C/Missouri: Barnes entered the draft rated as a top-five player at his position. He was a prolific pass protector and dominant run blocker. Why he slid out of the draft's seven rounds is anyone's guess. Barnes could find a home with the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals or St Louis Rams, teams hoping to develop a starting center in the near future.
7) Dane Sanzenbacher/WR/Ohio State: The former Buckeye wowed scouts with his pass-catching in college but poor measurables (5-feet, 11 inches, 182 pounds, 4.55-seconds in the 40) pushed him out of a draft that was deep at the receiver position. Scouts feel Sanzenbacher will have a productive career as a slot receiver in the NFL. His talents are well suited for the Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos or Chicago Bears, teams searching for depth and youth at the receiver position.
8) Ray Dominguez/G/Arkansas: Several teams graded Dominguez higher than his college teammate, DeMarcus Love, selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the sixth round. He's a versatile blocker who can line up at guard or tackle and is viewed by teams as a prospect who can see action as a rookie. Dominquez would be a good fit for the Carolina Panthers, New York Jets or Green Bay Packers -- franchises looking to develop a starter on the offensive line.
9) Schuylar Oordt/TE/Northern Iowa: Oordt put up mind-boggling numbers at the combine, running 4.63-seconds in the 40 after measuring 6-5.5 and 261 pounds. He displayed terrific athleticism on the college field, impressing NFL teams with his pass-catching ability. Yet his in-line blocking skills concerned scouts as did his bland production on a small school level. Oordt's upside potential is enormous for a franchise willing to develop his talents, such as the San Francisco 49ers, Jacksonville Jaguars or Chicago Bears, teams looking to add a productive second tight end to the roster.
10) Kai Forbath/K/UCLA: Only two kickers were selected in April's draft, a surprisingly low number considering how many teams need field goal improvement. Forbath struggled as a senior, connecting on 72% of his attempts, a far cry from the 90% he put through the uprights as a junior. He can hit them from long distance (career best of 54 yards) and has shown a good degree of accuracy throughout his UCLA career. Forbath would be a solid fit for the Dallas Cowboys or even the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a pair of franchises that play in favorable conditions and want to upgrade their field goal units.

On a climate-controlled indoor field, teammates covertly relay their group's signal for a surprise attack to one another. Swiftly, the group emerges from behind inflatable red pillars and obstacles and sprints across the turf floor releasing a barrage of colorful paintballs at the opposing team, who thought they were safe for the moment behind triangular barriers. As the colors fly, the scenes play itself out as it has many times at Paintball Addicts, where players take part in fast-paced battles of strategy, timing, and teamwork. Considering safety the most important factor in keeping things fun, trained referees supervise all matches and brief paintball teams before each match on the facility's safety rules and techniques. The paint-splattered arena also boasts a shop where gamers can pick up all the gear they need, as well as spectator areas where friends and family can take in all the action without being transformed into living pointillist paintings.
The whirring carnival attractions inside Jungle Jim's Playland never pack up and leave town. Instead, the year-round kiddie complex keeps its stable of rides completely indoors at its climate-controlled facility. Proud parents look on or join the action for free as kids 11 and younger enjoy jungle patrol cars, a ground-level roller coaster, and a traditional carousel. In all, seven rides and a multilevel jungle gym provide all the fun of an outdoor carnival without having to endure sticky, summer heat and long carnie lectures about 17th-century Italian operas. Kids split up their bumper car sessions with Skee-Ball and other arcade games or sit at picnic tables and nosh on a house-made pizza from The Jungle Cafe concession stand.
Gravity is a limit, and the safety-conscious staff at Get Air Sportsplex won't stand for that—they help guests of all ages defy Newton's obsession. Their facility is chock-full of aerial-activity apparatus, including 50 huge trampolines, an 80-foot dodge-ball court, and five foam pits. Each foam pit is outfitted with TVs so that jumpers can watch delayed replays of their cannonballs and airborne tricks. There's a kids' area, too, that invites little ones to bounce on a trampoline slide and foam pit without risking injury or the most common outcome of jumping on the bed: having your parents replace your bed with a sleeping bag. An expansive parkour arena dares adventurous guests to test their physical discipline. Friendly staffers also prepare party rooms to help groups celebrate birthdays, corporate events, or a pogo stick's retirement party.
Frolicking in a 500,000-gallon wave pool, plummeting from 100-foot free-fall slides, and drifting along a 1,200-foot lazy river with 5 mph currents are just a few of the diversions found within Seven Peaks' net of water parks. The aquatic havens spread across Utah, and Indiana, luring families and adventurous kayakers with forests of twisting water slides such as the Provo location's Boomerang, which sends passengers ricocheting down three stories. Calmer fun awaits at child-friendly areas such as the Salt Lake location's Dinosaur Bay, where toddlers splash and ride small slides, and lazy rivers welcome both whippersnappers and adults hoping to relax.
In addition to its water parks, Seven Peaks manages a fleet of fun centers. Visitors to the Sandy location try for strikes in bowling and guests at the Lehi location enjoy rides on a pirate ship or in bumper boats. The Orem location lets you putt through a glowing, neon mini-golf jungle lit by black lights or whack at the imagined faces of arch-nemeses in the batting cages.
Seven Peaks' multiple locales thrill guests with attractions ranging from water slides to go-karts and bowling. At Seven Peaks Waterpark Provo, the aquatically inclined can cascade down water slides, seesaw around the mammoth half-pipe tube ride, or ride the crests of the 400,000-gallon wave pool. Guests can scan the attractions at Seven Peaks Waterpark Salt Lake City, such as unique water slides and the Amazon River, then plummet off the Cliffhanger, a curvy slide that ends with a sudden 5-foot drop into a pool. The Lehi and Orem locations house an assortment of waterless excursions, including mini golf, go-karts, batting cages, and laser tag.
The Utah Pass of All Passes lets guests use the Fun Centers' bowling lanes to show off elite bowling skills developed from years of rolling watermelons into doghouses. Pass holders also receive perks such as access to skating at Peaks Ice Arena, admission to events at Rocky Mountain Raceways, and admission to baseball and arena-football games.

@fabulousyarn - I'm seeing the exact same on/off pattern. However, I just finished a 5 hour keyword ranking session and I'm again seeing a lot of red. The #1 stuff is holding steady, but a lot of 2,3 and lower positions are moving -1 to -8 lower, so that explains some of the "OFF" part.
For a change I'd love to see a "green" trend.

Flowers is a 5 reel (non-progressive), 30-payline, Net-entertainment Video Slot. It comes with a wildSymbol, scatter symbol, free spin and has a maximum jackpot win of $37,500.
Spring is an excellent time to enjoy all the benefits of lovely weather – there's nothing like the smell of fragrant spring flowers, a bite of the first juicy strawberry, or blood-red cherries picked right from the tree. Birds singing, long careless walks by the lakes, all the greens, blues, reds and yellows of leafy forests, skies, rivers and field flowers – all this is priceless for all of us who appreciate spring as our favorite season. Well, in anticipation of those warm spring days, NetEntertainment has decided to treat us with a fun new slot – "Flowers" whose lively coloring will remind you why you like this season so much.
The graphics of this 5-reel, 30 payline slot is lovely and adorable, although some may wonder why NetEnt designers chose certain solutions. Namely, the reels are full of colorful flowers such as roses, sunflowers, tulips and many others, and each of them has its own character – and this is where the confusion may emerge. Most people would expect to see a flower such as rose at its best – blooming, wonderful, seductive, but here it just looks grumpy. The same goes for bluebells – they are supposed to be tender and fragile, and here they are simply goofy. Still, this new interpretation of flowers' characters is at the same time funny, and it definitely attracts attention.
Now, apart from the flowers, players can also find special symbols in "Flowers", including wild and scatter, which triggers free spins with a multiplier, as well as a special double symbol. But to get to any of those features, players need to set their bet amounts first. This is done by selecting a coin denomination (from $0.01 to $0.50) and the number of coins to be placed per line (up to five of them). If this is not enough choice, one can also set the number of lines to play on, but it's highly recommendable to play on a maximum number of lines, because that will increase the winning odds.
As for the special symbols, there are two standard ones – wild symbol in form of a smiling Sun, which replaces all other regular symbols, and scatter symbol, which can appear as a single or a double symbol. The scattered clouds trigger free spins when 4+ scatters (this includes the double ones) appear anywhere on the reels. During the free spins, all prizes are tripled, and players can also find extra wilds which appear stacked on the reels, allowing bigger wins.
In terms of the double symbols, which are a new feature, they appear regularly, just like normal, single symbols, but they count as two. This means that, for example, three single roses and one double make a five roses payout of 160 coins.
In all sincerity, even though "Flowers" may seem much simpler than other NetEnt slots, many will find it attractive thanks to its adorable characters, occasionally generous features, and the impression it leaves, that spring is already in its bloom…

Murphree hearing postponed
A Tunica mother's second appearance in court has been rescheduled for Jan. 11, 2011, according to the District Attorney's office in Memphis.
Angela Murphree was scheduled to appear in general sessions court on Tuesday, Dec. 14 for a mental evaluation hearing. Jennifer Donaldson of the DA's office said that the hearing will determine whether Murphree is competent to stand trial. Once the judge issues a finding, the next step is a preliminary hearing.
Soho Bistro dazzles diners
Owners Roy Douglass and Anthony Holland and chef Julius Johnson of Memphis, TN have recently opened a new restaurant on Hwy. 61 North in Tunica, the Soho Bistro.
In the restaurant business for over eighteen years, Johnson says he wanted to locate a restaurant in Tunica because the people deserved a place where they could enjoy a good meal at a fair price.
Johnson says he learned to cook while he was growing up and from chefs taking him under their wing and mentoring him. He mentions with pride that everything is prepared fresh, by him, right when it is ordered, and that nothing is pre-prepared.
SO kicks off holiday blitz
The Tunica County Sheriff's Department will participate in the Drunk Driving-Over the Limit, Under Arrest DUI Enforcement Mobilization during the Holiday Season.

Can it be done? WS Security on a PHP SOAP client
Apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum. I also asked the same question in the "Security" forum. Yes, it's that important.
I'm trying to connect a PHP client to a .NET SOAP web service secured with WS security. If it matters, the endpoint is a proxy for the service.
I've tried WSF/PHP with no success, and the project seems to be dead in the water. The sample scripts all fail with no errors, and using the wsdl2php tool gives me code that when run, makes my browser think I'm trying to download the script. (If I do download it, it comes up blank.)
Are there any alternatives to WSF/PHP? Have you ever successfully made a PHP client connect to a WS-secured service?
Help me, Sitepoint Community, You're my only hope!Last edited by bkennedy; Aug 25, 2011 at 06:28. Reason: clarification

We welcome all researchers and students of human behavior with an interest in applying evolutionary principles to the mind and behavior. This society is designed to facilitate interactions among scholars who study psychological questions from an evolutionary perspective. Given this relatively broad charge, we welcome scholars from multiple disciplines (e.g., anthropology, biology, literary studies, psychology, sociology) with a diversity of research and theoretical interests. Our members are predominantly from the Northeastern part of the U.S. (PA, NJ, NY, CT, RI, MA, VT, NH, and ME) and from nearby states and provinces (e.g., Ontario, Nova Scotia, OH).

Denver seems to have gone from sleepy western town to boomtown. In November it broke ground on the $160 million Pepsi Center, a basketball and hockey arena that will seat 19,300, and--along with Denver's baseball stadium, Coors Field--will undoubtedly draw even more sports fans into the city. The Pepsi Center is on course for opening for the 1999 to 2000 sports season.
Meanwhile, a $100 million project, the Denver Pavilions, is under construction on the 16th Street Mall. Set to open in November, the two-block-long dining, shopping, and entertainment project will include three nightclubs, a Virgin Records Mega Store, a Wolfgang Puck restaurant, a Hard Rock Cafe, and a Nike Town among its crowd-pleasers.
In May 1999, Colorado's Ocean Journey, a $93 million aquarium, will open on the north side of the Platte River across from Elitch Gardens, the downtown Denver amusement park that last year added $25 million in new rides. And after a 24-year development project, the South Platte itself has gone from eyesore to major recreational magnet, providing kayaking and rafting opportunities on its waters, biking on its shores, and a series of 11 new riverside parks. Commons Park, the newest, is a 30-acre green space now under construction, with the first phase scheduled for completion in mid-1999.
Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region annually draws more than four million visitors and has 8,500 hotel and motel rooms. Popular excursions include the Garden of the Gods park and the 14,110-foot Pikes Peak; the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo; and the U.S. Olympic Training Center.
The mountain resorts in Colorado are renowned for their skiing, but now snowshoeing, snowboarding, dog sledding, ice skating, cross-country skiing, hot-air ballooning, and sleigh rides are coming on strong as winter activities for groups as well. And the Rockies resorts offer even more recreational options in summer than in winter. In Snowmass Village, there's white-water rafting, golf, tennis, fly fishing, jeeping, mountain biking, ballooning, and horseback riding. The Aspen/Snowmass area boasts its Aspen Music Festival, while Vail/Beaver Creek and Telluride hold summer events ranging from Vail's International Dance Festival to Telluride's film festival.
Colorado's newest conference facility will be opening in July 1999 in Mountain Village, two miles from Telluride. The 22,000-square-foot Telluride Conference Center will have 11,000 square feet of public space and seat 520 people banquet-style and 550 theater-style. There will be no lodging on site, but the center staff will coordinate housing with the approximately 850 lodging units in the area. Mountain Village is linked by road to Telluride (a seven-mile drive), and the community has the only gondola public transportation system in the country, operating 16 hours a day.

Tax and Money Matters Colorado levies a 7.3 percent state sales tax. In addition, guests pay an 11.8 percent room tax in Denver, two percent room tax in Colorado Springs, 8.2 percent in Aspen, and 8.5 percent in Vail.
Beth Richardson, corporate communications, Applied Insurance Research in Boston, planned a user's conference for 150 attendees this May in Colorado Springs. It was held at the Broadmoor hotel because the president of the company "had been there before and been very impressed with the property, and the friendliness of the staff."
Applied Insurance Research, an insurance consulting firm that markets software and services to the insurance and reinsurance industries to help companies assess their exposure to catastrophes, brought in experts in the field to talk about current trends in the industry and to hold training sessions for attendees, who came from the U.S., Europe, and Australia. The four-day conference included a golf tournament (nongolfers were free to go off-property during the tournament to explore such Colorado Springs highlights as the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and the Garden of the Gods) and a hoe-down-themed cookout.
"Everything at the hotel was terrific," says Richardson. "Great. The conference staff was so professional, so accommodating. It was five-star service, but very friendly at the same time."

Nerf tubes arrived today!!
I plan on installing them on Friday, since I am off that day. I have to work on the weekend. Any hints, tips, caveats? They are Westin step bars, in black. From the installation instructions it looks as though they mount on the frame to the body mounts, and use some of the existing hardware. I will be posting pictures of the installation process.
