Too thick and leaves face white
By Tara
from USVI
I live in the tropics and have enjoyed other Coola brand products for the past two years (lip balm, SPF 30 unscented and plumeria, SPF 45 unscented and mango, face moisturizer unscented and cucumber).I bought the Coola Face Mineral Moisturizer during Drugstore.com's buy one Coola product, get the Mineral Moisturizer free promotion. It is not even worth it "free." The lotion was too thick to rub into my skin; even after working with it for a minute, my face was still white. It was even worse if I sweat and tried to reapply. It just caked up. I ended up wiping all of it off and going without sunscreen during a beach party. It is overpriced and I will stick to the regular non-mineral formula.
Apply evenly over face in upward strokes. You'll have SPF protection immediately after application. The American Cancer Society recommends reapplication every 2 hours while in direct sun, or after swimming/sweating.

National School Choice Week and the Growing Movement for True Educational Reform
Parental choice in education is right for our children, right for our parents and right for our Nation
Parental (School) Choice is an idea whose time has come. It is a matter of true social justice, not what is masquerading as social justice in some circles these days. It is a civil rights issue, a matter of educational freedom and the means to true educational reform.
CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - January 27- February 3, 2013 is National School Choice Week in the United States of America. Around the Nation events are being held to call attention to this rapidly growing movement for true educational reform. This movement crosses political party, social and economic lines.
Some who oppose school choice are entrenched in the current federalized educational bureaucracy and the culture which fuels it. However, increasingly people of every walk of life admit the obvious, our educational system is broken. A growing number are supporting the school choice movement.
In loco parentis - a Latin phrase meaning in the place of, or on behalf of the parents - was the polestar of educational law for years. Now, it is replaced with a top down one size fits all federalized system which has substituted bureaucrats for parents.
The origins of what became the public school system began with families pooling resources in small community schools. Now, parents and local communities have an increasingly smaller role in the educational process.
We need to reconsider our history to chart a path to true educational reform and educational freedom in the future.
The current overly federalized approach to education in the United States is failing. Statistics and experience confirm the obvious. It is time for a change and parental (school) choice is the change needed. It means affirming again that Parents are the ones who should be able to make the choice of how to best extend their own teaching mission outside of the home.
The proper role of Federal, State or Local Government is to support the first government in the home. I believe we should use the phrase Parental Choice. Schools do not make the decision, parents do - or at least they should be able to, no matter what their income.
I am not against government. I simply insist that we remember that government begins in the family. Any good governance must recognize the first government of the family and then follow the social principle called subsidiarity. That principle reminds us that good government is bottom up, not top down, deferring first to the smallest governing unit; not usurping but empowering and helping families.
The teaching of the Catholic Church on the primacy of parents in the educational mission is clear and helpful. In his apostolic exhortation on the family entitled "The Role of the Christian family in the Modern World" (Familiaris Consortio) Blessed Pope John Paul II affirmed the social and political role of the family and called for the development of a "family politics". Here is an insight:
"The right and duty of parents to give education is essential, since it is connected with the transmission of human life; it is original and primary with regard to the educational role of others, on account of the uniqueness of the loving relationship between parents and children; it is irreplaceable and inalienable, and therefore incapable of being entirely delegated to others or usurped by others."
In his "Letter to Families" the late Pope wrote "Parents are the first and most important educators of their own children, and they also possess a fundamental competence in this area; they are educators because they are parents. They share their educational mission with other individuals or institutions, such as the Church and the State. But the mission of education must always be carried out in accordance with a proper application of the Principle of Subsidiarity."
"This implies the legitimacy and indeed the need of giving assistance to the parents, but finds its intrinsic and absolute limit in their prevailing right and actual capabilities. The principle of subsidiarity is thus at the service of parental love, meeting the good of the family unit. For parents by themselves are not capable of satisfying every requirement of the whole process of raising children; especially in matters concerning their schooling and the entire gamut of socialization."
"Subsidiarity thus complements paternal and maternal love and confirms its fundamental nature, inasmuch as all other participants in the process of education are only able to carry out their responsibilities in the name of the parents, with their consent and, to a certain degree, with their authorization."
Parental (School) Choice is an idea whose time has come. It is a matter of true social justice, not what is masquerading as social justice in some circles these days. It is a civil rights issue, a matter of educational freedom and the means to true educational reform.
The opposition of some who often control of the teachers unions to such educational reform shows how far some of these mediating associations have strayed from their primary role. They fail to defer to the first mediating institution of the family.
Parental choice in education is right for our children, right for our parents and right for our Nation.
Men and women of vision are emerging at the State Level to lead this growing movement. I am honored to stand with and support one of these emerging leaders, E.W. Jackson. He is seeking the nomination of the Republican Party as Lieutenant Governor of my home State, the Commonwealth of Virginia.
I just received this Press Release from the Jackson campaign.
Statement of E.W. Jackson on National School Choice Week
E.W. Jackson, Candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia released the following statement to join millions of Americans commemorating National School Choice Week on January 27 - Feb 3, 2013:
"The theme of my campaign for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia is 'Let liberty Light the Way'. Parental Choice in education is a liberty issue and should be a fundamental civil right.
"Parents are the first and best teachers of their children. When they delegate to teachers the role of educating their children, they should not be forced to relinquish safety and educational quality.
"Statistics confirm what we already know: our educational system is broken. The current federal one-size-fits-all approach to education has failed miserably. It is time for parents to reclaim their rightful place in determining where and how their children will be educated. Public policy must affirm and support this parental right."
"As Lieutenant Governor of Virginia I will propose an amendment to the State Constitution to implement parental choice in the Commonwealth."
"The family is the first government and the first school house. We must allow liberty to light the way in Virginia by ensuring the freedom of parents to make educational choices for their children."

How can your explain that a mother who has the right to choose life or death for her child should not have the right to choose the school for him. Also, as in Obamacare for his health insurance, when you choose to send your child to the secularized government school there is no "fine", but if you do not accept the terms and conditions of the mandated federal system and wish to be "personally responsible" for the education of your child you are still bound by law to continue your contributions to that system which your moral or religious conscience informs you is corrupting the minds and lowering the intellectual potential of the public. That is nothing less than another form of taxation called "penalties". We have entered the age of FAITH FINES.

Today, the civil rights issues have changed, though too many are still fighting the issues of the 70s. Some think that unless all past issues are resolved to their satisfaction, nothing has changed. Yes, there are still raciest tendencies in some, yes there is sexism from both men and from women (defining, decicing and dealing with others based on their gender/ sex) and other 'isms' that the left loves to champion.
We focus so much on the 'poor' we don't look at contributing factors that make them and keep them poor. We get the pity attitude of 'poor person' and then condemn those who don't deal with them as we in our almighty arrogance think they should be dealt with. BUT without a good education to give them some footing and foundation to do well or better in life, too many fall back into poverty and some stay there. In this country, a good education helps prepare one for more success in life (lots of studies show this).
We should be championing school choice for our education - I was educated in a Catholic school and that was school choice but it cost my parents, as it did many others. If we want to take care of the poor, we should focus on the injustices in the education system - look at the results - drop out rates, low perfroming graduates (not even able to perform at their grade level), many struggle in highere education training and college, not being prepared to take advantage of the opportunities this country offers, despite the obstacles. I know that being stuck in the 70s mentality (which by the way did include some education issues) it is hard to focus today on today's major issue of education needs. Since the education complex and institution includes several reminants of the 70s (unions, democrat party, liberals) it is hard to take action. It's easier to blame conservatives and do little to change the education system. Little improvements are what if focused on - at least we 'tried' is the mantra. That makes us 'good' while they fight the old issues. Too bad - talk about keeping people down and in their place - that is what the lack of a good education does! -

The family is the "first government "and the "first and the best teacher and hence their " choice of education for their children ' are to be respected is but only a logical conclusion which a federal government is to respected. As far as the parents are concerned, in the present context of " moral erosion", a " holistic approach" of " person building" is more important than " creating education a commodity to cater to the national and international requirement". As a matter of fact, in my opinion, the parents' Association should have a say in the 'syllabi fixing' and ' administration of the school', taking into account both the National/ federal requirement and holistic personal development. Brain washing into any ideology whether that of Politics or sects like homo- sexual are to be avoided. The youth are to be trained in such a way that they are capable of " creative thinking" and " choice making" considering human dignity of oneself and of others. while " individuality are to be respected and promoted, " individualism" are to be made aware of. Any " social issues" affecting humanity like war, economic recess, promotion of culture of death have to come under the preview of education. However, despite timely evaluation of the outcome of education policy, parents may not jeopardize the daily administration of the school.

"...they are educators because they are parents." Educator, perhaps, but competent not always possible. Children 14 to 21 years of age who are parents are not competent educators. Schools of choice and right to life political groups do not address a growing and serious problem of parents not prepared to be parents.
I have worked with Charter schools. The corruption and profit motive does not make for good education. They can and do make some people very rich. Parents can be made to feel they have a say in the education of their children, but in reality the control is in the hands of the managers who have little restriction in terms of where they spend the money.

Sara - Angelina, my grandmother was the only person in this world that I believe if there was a way to come back she would find a way. When she did pass I was going through a very bad time. My whole bedroom and only my bedroom filled with the smell of church incense, my brother's fish bowl exploded and I've dreamt of her. I had a very hard time with her passing as she was the last grandparent and the whole family dynamic change. So I guess my question would be were those signs from her? Is she really pissed we buried her next to grandpa and what does she need to say?
Dear Sara,
Yes these are signs! No she isn't "pissed". We do not bring those feelings to the otherside . They die with the physical body!
Joy - I sometimes think things, and they happen. I usually don't pay any mind to them because it's just so random. But it's kind of scary when things do happen, that I was just thinking. And nobody believes me if I tell them I was 'thinking about that' Wish I could know when I knew when I'm just thinking things - or is it something more..
Dear Joy,
We are all psychic. Please stop worrying about people believing you and just see your ability as a wonderful tool to assist you in your life. Then it will be more obvious to you when you are picking up on information that will assist you and others.

Hello - I like the way you can publish a file and then send the link for them to view the file - however I don't like the way the link takes them to acrobat.com as this viewing it like that is low quality and you can't easily print a page from it - they have to download it first. Is it possible to send a link to a published PDF file for them to view in Adobe Reader or go straight to Download?
Hope this makes sense.

UW Tacoma is first and foremost a change agent for our region, providing access to students in a way that transforms families and communities. We impact and inform economic development through community-engaged students and faculty. We conduct research that is of direct use to our community and region. And, most importantly, we seek to be connected to our community's needs and aspirations.
The UW connection
UW Tacoma is one of three campuses that make up the University of Washington: the 150-year-old Seattle campus, and the Tacoma and Bothell campuses, both founded in 1990. We offer many of the same educational qualities as our sister universities — an urban campus setting; top-drawer faculty known for their teaching ability; a rigorous, interdisciplinary curriculum; and high standards of social responsibility.
UW Tacoma's diverse student body includes a broad range of ethnic and family backgrounds, ages, interests and experience. More than 80 percent of students transfer to UW Tacoma from one of the many community colleges in the area or from other universities. Freshmen from high schools all over the Puget Sound and beyond make up a growing portion of students. Add to the mix students who are returning to school after years away, military personnel and their families, and professionals working on new career goals. Our students create a kaleidoscope of perspectives crucial to learning.
At UW Tacoma, faculty members engage students in interdisciplinary programs. Students learn in small classes, getting to know their teachers while participating in research and service projects.
Freshmen take our innovative core curriculum, which blends different fields of study into interdisciplinary classes. Courses might mix art and ecology, or business and social science. The result is a rich learning environment where students are encouraged to challenge themselves. Core students are grouped into cohorts, spending their first year as part of a close-knit learning community.
Transfer students take advantage of degree programs and course schedules designed to accommodate busy lives. Graduate students work closely with faculty in an intimate academic environment.
UW Tacoma is an urban-serving university, closely linked with Tacoma and the South Puget Sound. We're a member of the Coalition of Urban Serving Universities, a network of public, urban, research universities committed to creating an educated workforce, building strong communities and improving the health of diverse populations.
Set in the historic Warehouse District, UW Tacoma owes its charm to century-old, brick buildings that were built to last by businesses that depended on the railroad in the late 1880s and early 1900s. The university has earned architectural awards for transforming these stately buildings into modern classrooms. In the design of its beautiful campus, UW Tacoma honors the traditions of the Northern Pacific Railroad and its part in establishing Tacoma as the City of Destiny.
The campus's 46-acre footprint is located on a hillside overlooking the Port of Tacoma and Mount Rainier, on the southern edge of downtown Tacoma, next to museums and the beautifully reconstructed Union Station. Within walking distance are an array of restaurants, attractions, businesses, shops, parks, museums and historic architecture. The Link, a 1.6-mile light rail streetcar, stops right in front of campus and offers free rides to the center of downtown or the Tacoma Dome. You can catch a bus right in front of campus. There's even an express bus to take you from here to the UW Seattle campus.

cover story
Shining a bright light on the myriad components that drive patient care costs has allowed some health systems to discover more ways to lower the cost of the care they provide.
HFMA's President and CEO Joe Fifer expands on the ideas from his March 2014 hfm column about provider scale.
Hospitals should develop a systematic approach for identifying the patients and physicians who are driving higher costs in their organizations and then managing these outliers to reduce costs of care.
Hospital finance leaders can increase profit from operating rooms by developing performance improvement plans around key statistics, such as utilization, unique morning starts, and delays.
Value, the key to increasing profitability, depends on effective strategies to build a broad, loyal patient base.
Forming a systemwide team to improve revenue integrity enabled Intermountain Healthcare to reduce charge errors by 3 percent across its organization. RC/CDM; RC/BC
A centralized contracting approach has enabled Spectrum Health to eliminate redundancies and reduce costs in areas ranging from facilities to labor to purchasing of clinical supplies.
With increased need for capital, balance-sheet pressures, and volatile markets, capital access requires new sophistication.
From the Chair: HFMA's Capital Conference gives providers the chance to share their strategic initiatives and financial performance with representatives from the capital markets and each other.
From the President: Consolidation in health care makes sense only when it drives a lower-cost offering to the market and creates a better value proposition for consumers.
Washington: The interest Congress has shown in fixing the SGR for physician payment in the past year is more promising than it has been at any time in the past two decades.
Value: Hospitalists play a significant role in efforts to improve both the quality and cost-effectiveness of patient care in acute care settings.
Reform: Healthcare professionals should be deeply concerned about the looming student loan crisis that indirectly threatens their incomes.
Capital Finance: Deferred giving programs can effectively build future assets for a healthcare organization's foundation.

The Classicist: A Puerto Rican Renaissance at St. Regis Bahia Beach Residences
Filed under: Dining, Luxury Travel & Hotels, Sports, The Classicist, Real Estate Developments
One of the Caribbean's finest residential and vacation enclaves is taking shape on 483 pristine beachfront acres in Puerto Rico, at the foot of the only tropical rain forest in the U.S. National Forest System. At the vanguard of what promises to be a true Puerto Rican renaissance is the stunning Bahia Beach community with a St. Regis resort and residences as its centerpiece. Located within 25 minutes driving distance of San Juan, Bahia Beach boasts a magnificent two-mile crescent of sandy beach, a challenging 18-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., golf and beach clubhouses, and a charming seaside village. St. Regis Hotels & Resorts will operate the intimate St. Regis Resort, Bahía Beach, which will include an ultra-luxurious hotel and spa slated to open this fall. As any visitor to Bahia Beach can attest, its naturally perfect setting inspires dreams of permanent residence. Bahia Beach offers a number of ways to make the dream a reality, with a variety of homes including St. Regis Residences, Las Estancias estate homes, resort residences, golf and ocean view villas, and beachfront townhomes available in advance of the resort's official opening.
The resort will feature the signature St. Regis Butler and St. Regis Concierge service, a world-class Remède Spa and Fitness Center, a 120-seat Jean-Georges Vongerichten signature restaurant as well as a 90-seat St. Regis restaurant, retail shops and beachfront pool facilities. The tropical, unspoiled splendor of Bahia Beach, located on Puerto Rico's northeast coast at the foot of the El Yunque rain forest and bounded by two scenic rivers, can easily lead you to imagine a remote idyll, yet part of its appeal lies in the community's convenience and accessibility. U.S. residents don't need to bother with passports or worry about currency exchange, while the distance from New York for example is not all that much more than Miami. Once a coconut plantation, Bahía Beach is richly populated with 100-foot palms and other tropical trees, inhabited by myriad species of birds and the vivid green iguanas native to the coast. Over 65% of the property has been preserved as green areas, sanctuaries and nature trails; the Bahía Beach Resort & Golf Club is Puerto Rico's first resort community to become a Certified Gold Audubon International Signature Sanctuary.
All residences sold within Bahía Beach include social membership in the community's private club, providing members with special dining and recreational privileges and services. Upgrades to full golf club memberships are also available. The signature St. Regis Residences, Las Estancias, will offer 25 majestic estate homes introducing an unrivaled dimension of luxury and hospitality to Puerto Rico. Located on a private island within the Bahía community and designed in a tropical plantation architectural style on spacious lots, these residences are available in six different models with floor plans offering large verandas, three-car garages, infinity edge swimming pools and separate maid's quarters. Homes are sized from 6,000 to 9,000 square feet and built on half acre to 1.5 acre lots with stunning ocean and golf course views. The first homes have already been delivered and one well-known major league baseball player has already taken up residence. Owners of Las Estancias will enjoy full access to St. Regis Resort amenities including the signature St. Regis Butler and St. Regis Concierge. Read on for details of the rest of the residences, and check out the gallery for stunning images.

Hi Archinect,
Did you see this? Until March 29, you can submit a 2-minute video audition for a chance to be a co-host of "ARCHITECT Live" at the 2013 AIA National Convention in Denver at the end of June. The AIA flies you to Denver, puts you up, and pays you $75 a day (hey, it's still architecture, after all) to share the stage with Chung as you talk with "leading thinkers, experts, and industry watchers live from the expo floor."
Lectures and exhibitions, life in the trays, happenings around Cambridge...and once in a while, some studio and course work. Please note that all live blogs are abridged and approximate. If you want to see exactly what happened, in most cases a video of the event is posted online by the event's hosts. If you have concerns about how you are quoted, please contact me via Archinect's email.

The challenges of authenticity
Our commitment to using renewable materials in our products presented challenges in 2010 as the prices for palm oil and other plant-based sources of fatty acids skyrocketed. Palm oil is increasingly being used as a renewable biofuel for transportation, and has also become the "go-to" non-hydrogenated oil for the food industry. As more people world-wide consume processed food, global use of palm oil has increased tremendously – leading to a doubling in price in 2010. Our options for sourcing the renewable oleochemicals (derived from biological oils or fats) which are the key ingredients in our cleaning products are limited primarily to palm, coconut or corn oils. Our sourcing team is pursuing several strategies to improve the sustainability of our materials while keeping costs down.
- Using less: Product reformulations that involve a switch to a more effective ingredient sometimes reduce the amount of raw material needed to maintain or improve efficacy and authenticity. (See Product Improvements related to 2X Liquid Laundry and Diapers.)
- Closer relationships with our suppliers: Longer-term contracts are bringing us better prices, closer relationships with our suppliers and a deeper understanding of the path our materials take from soil to bottle. This provides greater opportunities for collaboration on sustainability initiatives as well as benefitting the suppliers by ensuring a secure market for their goods. In 2010, we also switched our fragrance purchases to a company that will allow us to make the communities where we source our fragrances more visible to our consumers. We plan to share some stories of these communities with our consumers in 2011.
- Enhanced documentation:Our improved documentation process gives us greater control over our raw material purchases and clearer support for the claims we make on our products. The new checklist covers many elements including:
- Adherence to our standards concerning human and environmental health;
- Compliance with relevant regulations and external certifications such as Kosher standards and Leaping Bunny (no animal testing);
- Percentage of renewable carbon (allowing us to track improvements in this area); and
- Country of origin which will improve our ability to trace our materials back in the supply chain.
Sustainable Palm Oil
The huge increase in global demand for palm oil has spawned the clear-cutting and burning of vast swaths of old-growth rainforest and peat land into monoculture palm oil plantations. This has had a devastating impact on species habitat and biodiversity and the indigenous forest communities that rely on these ecosystems - while increasing the harmful greenhouse gas emissions associated with land conversion. Seventh Generation has committed to sourcing segregated, certified sustainable palm oil by 2012 and joined the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm oil (RSPO) to support efforts to address this pressing challenge. In 2009, we were the first U.S. household products company to offset company- wide use of palm kernel oil by purchasing certified sustainable palm kernel oil credits and we continued this commitment in 2010.
While we currently purchase sustainable palm oil credits, we know that the palm kernel oil that is used in our products is unlikely to be certified sustainable as oils from different sources are mixed in the global market. By 2012, we aim to purchase what RSPO refers to as "identity-preserved" sustainable palm oil for all of our palm oil needs. This will ensure that the palm oil in our products is certified to meet RSPO's standards and will support global demand for sustainable palm oil. This is a very aggressive goal, and we are still building a strategy to meet it. There is some risk that without a larger industry commitment to move towards plant- derived surfactants, we will not be able to achieve our goal in 2012. However, we remain strongly committed to our palm oil work, which will be a priority focus in 2011.
Our manufacturing partners are just that – important partners in our efforts to bring our sustainable product designs and principles to life. It is important that we convey our expectations clearly, conduct periodic facility audits to both verify and mentor our partners, and receive documentation covering a range of critical manufacturing, quality, and sustainability issues.
In 2010, we upgraded the Manufacturing Partners Annual Report (MPAR) our suppliers complete every year. Launched in 2006, this supplier assessment tool is much more than just a report. It is a comprehensive approach to deepening collaboration and driving improvement. By meeting on-site with each supplier and by sharing best practices among our suppliers, we are able to support their sustainability efforts. By scoring them against key parameters, we can incentivize and track their improvements from year-to-year. A comprehensive discussion of the program can be found in our 2008 report .
In 2010, we expanded the scope of the reporting program. The sustainability section, in particular, is more comprehensive and addresses all of the key questions that third parties ask us about our products. It allows our suppliers to report information to us – often in the same format they've already used to report their data elsewhere.
For the first time, we are asking our partners to discuss their sustainability plans and strategies and to describe how they push sustainability with their own suppliers. We also cover environmental topics including water and energy consumption, materials and waste management, air pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. On the social side, we request information about community engagement, fair labor and workplace practices and recommend conformance with the decent workplace standards of SA 8000.
With a position vacant, we were only able to conduct audits of three of our 13 manufacturing partners in 2010. We have ten audits scheduled for 2011 when we expect to be fully staffed. We will also work in 2011 on incorporating the water and energy data into our own environmental footprinting calculations.

Drive-Thru Difference
We've all had some difficult days lately, so we're excited to invite you to join us in doing something to help someone else's day go better.
It's simple: When you go to a drive-thru for your morning coffee, or out for a quick bite for lunch, treat the person behind you. That's right. Just pay their bill and show a little kindness. You'll impact someone's day in ways much greater than coffee or take out.
Your can take it a step further by leaving them a nice note. Print it out, or print a few copies, and take it with you when you go about your day. Hand it to the cashier to give to the person in the car behind you. It's a great little note to let them know you cared and it's a perfect opportunity to introduce them to STAR 88-3…and maybe, just maybe, introduce them to Christ.

To whom it may concern: Thank you for your kindness in paying for our breakfast this morning at Dunkin Donuts on Coldwater Rd. My daughter and I were touched by your kindness that we too had to pay it forward. Blessings to you!
CD Pierucki said on Apr 15, 2013 at 5:51pm
This is not quite a drive thru difference but something similar. Im a waitress. I have an elderly couple come every monday to eat lunch. They both use canes and still do not walk well. Mondays is their doctor visit day so they eat lunch too. Well I did my usual hold the door for them to exit and enter. My table next to them were 2 ladies. After the elderly couple left and I was cleaning other tables one of the ladies came up to me and slipped me a bill. I said thank you. She said its for helping the elderly couple because too many people wouldnt do that these days. I tucked in my apron and did not look at it but kept on with my work. I looked shortly after and it was $20. I was shocked! I went to the lady and ask if she was sure she wanted to give this money to me. She said GOD wanted me to give this to you. You have a kind heart. Someday do this for someone else in need. The funny thing is I just told my co-workers this morning that I needed to make $90 this week because my kids needed that much money this week for things going on at school. I dont make much money but hope someday I can do for someone else too!
Sydney Hearn said on Dec 17, 2012 at 5:14pm
Same thing happened to me, my father and I were out for the day at about 7:00 in the morning and we went to McDonald's for some breakfast. We were about to enter the drive thru when a couple of cars came, so he let them in front of us. When we ordered our total was 17.50 and we had some coupons. When we got up to the counter to pay, we figured out that the first person we let in front of us had paid for our meal. It was the best feeling ever and the awesome part is that it is a mystery!
Amy R said on Nov 06, 2012 at 8:07am
Just had the coolest thing happen. I voted this morning, so I decided I was a little late to work already so I would stop at the McDonald's drive thru in Bluffton. I was the 7th person in line to pay for the person behind me meal. The cashier told me the record was 10…....hopefully we broke that record this morning!! I smiled all the way to work…....kindness still lives!!!!
M. R. said on Oct 17, 2012 at 1:27pm
I work at a church in southeast Fort Wayne. Beginning last summer, every week I go to a fast food restaurant for drive through. Each time I either pay for the person behind me or leave a $5 toward the next person's meal, if not one is in line behind me. One time they made a mistake on my order, and instead of charging me for the upgrade, as should have been done, the manager gave it to me. When I asked why? he said because of what I do every week. i told him if you listen to Star 88.3 you'd hear that this is happening all over Ft. Wayne. He said, "not in this part of town. Thank you." I'm still paying for someone's lunch every Wednesday. What a joy!

HERMEL, Lebanon: Three Hezbollah fighters and 12 Syrian rebels were killed in fierce battles near Syria's border with Lebanon, security sources said Sunday, as the Syrian opposition accused the party of "military intervention" in the neighboring country's bloody conflict.
The fighting, the worst near the border with Lebanon since the uprising erupted in Syria nearly two years ago, underlined Hezbollah's increasing involvement in the Syrian crisis. It also renewed fears of the Syrian conflict between government troops and opposition groups fighting to topple the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad spilling over into Lebanon.
"In the past two days, 12 Syrian rebels were killed and 30 wounded, while three Hezbollah members were killed and 14 others were wounded in battles," a Lebanese security source told The Daily Star.
Speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, the source said the fighting between Hezbollah and rebels in the Syrian region of Qusayr, where many Lebanese Shiites reside, has intensified since Friday.
Qusayr is located just across the northeastern border with Lebanon.
Although there are an estimated 30,000 Lebanese Shiites who live in a cluster of 20 Syrian villages near the border with Lebanon, many have fled to the eastern cities of Hermel and Baalbek and Beirut because of the violence.
During the battles that raged with Syrian rebels over the weekend in Qusayr, Hezbollah fighters managed to impose their control on some territory and houses vacated by residents of Shiite villages, the source said. The homes had been vacated during confrontations between the two sides several months ago, the source added.
The source added that two artillery shells fired by Syrian rebels landed inside the Lebanese town of Qasr on the border with Syria, causing no casualties. The first shell did not explode, while the other one hit the wall of Ali Hussein Zuaiter's house.
A source close to Hezbollah in Hermel confirmed the clashes with Syrian rebels in Shiite villages. He said that Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah had previously referred to these clashes when he said that Lebanese Shiite residents were defending themselves against attacks by Syrian rebels.
Blaming the Syrian opposition for the outbreak of fighting, the source said that the villages which Hezbollah members are defending are not located in the center of Syria, but are near the border and their residents are Lebanese.
But Hadi al-Abdallah of the Syrian Revolution General Commission said fighting broke out Saturday after Hezbollah fighters, who control eight Syrian border villages, tried to expand their sphere by moving into three adjacent Sunni villages that were in the hands of the rebel Free Syrian Army.
"The Hezbollah force moved on foot and was supported by multiple rocket launchers. The Free Syrian Army had to call in two tanks that had been captured from the Assad army to repel the attack," Abdallah told Reuters.
Sgt. Muhieddine al-Zein, the head of the rebel Military Council in Qusayr, said the fighting erupted when a group of Hezbollah fighters tried to sneak into rebel-held areas. The rebels engaged with them and killed about 20 Hezbollah fighters, he told The Daily Star by telephone from Qusayr.
Zein said there are 13 brigades operating in Qusayr, adding that the Hezbollah fighters were recognized through the party's flag and Syria's flag. Zein claimed that Hezbollah fighters have been there since the beginning of the conflict.Zein said eight FSA members were killed, along with a woman and her two small children in the clashes with Hezbollah.
Hezbollah has repeatedly denied that it is sending members to fight alongside government forces against the opposition.
However, the party occasionally announces the death of one of its fighters killed "carrying out his jihadist duty," but without clarification. In October 2012, Nasrallah acknowledged that party members had fought Syrian rebels but said they were acting as individuals and not under the party's direction.
Nasrallah said that a Hezbollah commander by the name of Ali Hussein Nassif was killed in a Syrian border area inhabited by Lebanese that was frequently the target of bombardment by Syrian rebels.
Meanwhile, the main bloc of the Syrian opposition Sunday accused Hezbollah of "militarily intervention" in Syria, and called it a danger to regional peace and security.
The Syrian National Council said Hezbollah members Saturday attacked "three Syrian villages in the Qusayr region near the Lebanese border" with full knowledge of the regular Syrian army.
The operation in Homs province led not only to "civilian casualties and the exodus of hundreds of people," but also "stoked sectarian tensions" in the area, the SNC said in a statement. The SNC said Hezbollah was employing "heavy weapons openly and under the auspices of the Syrian regime army." – Additional reporting by Lauren Williams and AFP

"Gooood morning, BAAAL-ti-more!" burbles Tracy Turnblad, the zaftig heroine of Hairspray, as she skips down a Highlandtown block in the opening song-and-dance number of the 2007 movie-musical. The scene onscreen looks authentic, right down to the marble stoops attached to the Formstone row houses, but anyone with access to imdb.com (The Internet Movie Database) knows the truth. The scene wasn't filmed in Highlandtown. In fact, it wasn't even filmed in Baltimore—or Maryland, for that matter. It was filmed on a Toronto soundstage, just another in a recent string of major Hollywood productions that have flirted with shooting in Baltimore only to be seduced by competing cities and states offering larger tax incentives to filmmakers.
How did this happen? How did Baltimore, once voted by Moviemaker Magazine as one of the "Top 10 U.S. Cities" for filmmakers, lose its preferred status? The answer is simple: money.
Once upon a time, in the boom years of the '90s and early '00s, Baltimore was buzzing with film crews thanks to an equally robust statewide industry fueled by state-funded tax breaks for productions spending more than $500,000 in the state. At the time, it seemed like every month brought a new Hollywood project to town: Sleepless in Seattle, Twelve Monkeys, Runaway Bride, Step Up, Ladder 49, Borat, The Wedding Crashers—not to mention the steady stream of television episodes shot for Homicide: Life on the Street and The Wire. At its peak in 2006, Maryland workers, hotels, and businesses received $143.2 million worth of revenue from visiting film and TV productions.
Cut to 2010, and the story is very different. Maryland's incentives, which include exemption from state sales tax, plus a 25 percent refund (up to $1 million) on all production expenses spent in Maryland are paltry when compared to states like Michigan that offer a 40 percent rebate on filming expenses.
"You just feel like screaming," says Pat Moran, Emmy Award-winning casting director for productions like The Wire and Liberty Heights, from her Canton office. "What they've done is taken a viable industry and they have managed to make it go away. I cannot tell you how many people [employed by the film industry] have moved out of town or taken work somewhere else."
The targets of Moran's ire are the state legislature and Governor Martin O'Malley, who control the funding level for the incentive program. For the coming fiscal year, the total incentive budget will remain steady at $1 million. In comparison, nearby Philadelphia, a city with similar architecture and neighborhoods to Baltimore, provides $42 million in funds, soon to increase to $60 million.
"If we had the support of the Governor," Moran continues, "we'd have our incentive package. If I want to retire, it's up to me to retire and close my shop. It's not up to a government to run me out of business."
Shaun Adamec, the Governor's Press Secretary, calls the cuts "unfortunate" but "necessary."
"The fact is, we're working inside of a budget under the most challenging economic times since the Great Depression," Adamec says, noting that O'Malley originally wanted to keep the tax incentives program funded at $2 million for the current fiscal year, before the legislature halved it. "Obviously it's not as much as we'd want to put in that fund," says Adamec, "[but] we need to make the tough choices in order to balance the budget."
There are many in the film industry though, who see this philosophy as short-sighted, noting that the state is more than compensated for its initial investment.
"It's like, if I gave you one dollar and you gave me back 20 cents, you'd still have made 80 cents. But the state doesn't think of it as making 80 cents. They just think, 'Hey, we gave you 20 cents!'" director Barry Levinson told Baltimore this past November when he was in town for a Maryland Film Festival fundraiser at MICA. Indeed, an economic report filed by Sage Policy Group in January calculates that every million made available for film rebates pumps $5 million into the local economy.
But that's only if filmmakers shoot here in the first place. Lately, given how meager Maryland's incentives are compared to other states, they can't, no matter how much they want to. For instance, John Waters, a man whose entire career is based on mining Baltimore's peculiarities, may shoot his next film, Fruitcake—a children's movie about two runaways in Remington—in Michigan.
"The entire movie business has collapsed in Maryland," says Waters. "I'm not saying I am [going to film in Michigan]. I had to finally, about eight months ago, say to the producers I would, if I had to. The thought of shooting in Michigan or some state that can look like Maryland is insane to me, but I'm a realist."
If it's tough for established directors, it's even tougher for emerging voices like Matt Porterfield, whose second feature, Putty Hill, was recently described by The New Yorker critic Richard Brody, as "extraordinary," "wondrous," and "beautiful."
"I identify as a Baltimore filmmaker; it's where I want to tell stories," Porterfield says. But he also knows that may not be possible in the current financial climate. "If someone was like, 'Look, we can finance [your next feature] but you can't shoot in Baltimore,' I would take it," he admits.
Caught in the middle is Jack Gerbes. As director of the Maryland Film Office, a state agency whose goal, as stated on their website, "is to make the process of filming in Maryland as easy as possible," Gerbes and his staff are responsible not only for wooing filmmakers to Maryland but for doing everything in their power—short of outright financing a movie—to show how versatile and photogenic Maryland can be.
"Up until probably 2004," recalls Gerbes, "the first question [from directors interested in shooting in Maryland] would be 'Do you have this type of location?' And then 'How is your crew base?' Now the first question is 'How much can I get to shoot in Maryland?'"
The model for this new paradigm—offer big rebates and enjoy the local economic boost—is New Mexico, where Governor Bill Richardson has injected steroids into the film office, offering, among other incentives, the same 25 percent rebate—but with no limit on the amount of money paid back.
Other states, including Louisiana and Illinois, have followed suit with generous rebate plans, while Maryland has stagnated. Meanwhile, Maryland's losing out—first Hairspray, then Annapolis (a 2006 military drama starring James Franco that was filmed in Philadelphia, of all places), and finally The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.
F. Scott Fitzgerald's original short story about a man born old and aging to infancy is set in Baltimore, so for the 20-odd years the project shuffled around Hollywood, the Film Office kept at the ready. When director David Fincher came on board in 2005, the Film Office redoubled its efforts, wooing Fincher with locations in Bolton Hill, Chestertown, and Fells Point. "It was going to be, at the time, the biggest film that would ever be shot here," recalls Gerbes. But not only would this be a major production (Brad Pitt! Cate Blanchett! A $150 million budget!) bringing money and jobs into the state, it would be the anti-Wire, a chance to show off Baltimore at her Gilded Age loveliest and dispel the cultural myth of "Bodymore, Murderland" once and for all.
But it didn't happen. The digital special effects that would age Brad Pitt from eight to 80 would gobble up most of the budgetary pie, so co-financiers Warner Brothers and Paramount needed to spend as little as possible on location shooting. Maryland could offer $6 million to shoot where Fitzgerald intended Benjamin Button to be born. Louisiana raised the pot to $27 million. Next thing you know, they rewrote the story to work in New Orleans and global audiences never saw a gussied up Baltimore on the big screen.
The ironic thing is that while Hollywood is losing interest in Baltimore, the city is taking a bigger place on the international stage. Matt Porterfield just returned from screening Putty Hill at the Berlin Film Festival and found "the [Austrian and German] press very interested in this idea of American regional cinema and new approaches to realism. Everyone I talked to was really interested in Baltimore."
Porterfield may be getting the most international attention right now, but there's a whole generation of Maryland filmmakers—Kim Moir, the Robinson Brothers, Chris LaMartina, Jeanie Clark, Mark Redfield, and Nakia Warren, among others—scraping out their own vision of Maryland with tiny budgets and dedicated crews. New Mexico includes a stipend for emerging local filmmakers: Perhaps instead of using that $1 million to attract Hollywood, Maryland can do the same? "Eventually, in the future, when the economy turns around, perhaps there could be a two-tiered program," Gerbes concedes. "But state revenues have to be to the point where we could potentially do both."
Even if the Film Office can't fund local filmmakers, all is not lost for Maryland. There's a new networking initiative from the Film Office called DEEM (Digital Entertainment And Emerging Media), which is aimed at consolidating a motley crew of video game, digital video, and computer animation production companies working in Maryland into a cohesive industry. And movies are still shooting here: We lost Benjamin Button, but The Johns Hopkins University has a cameo in David Fincher's next project about the creation of Facebook. And Baltimore can still boast recent productions like My One And Only and He's Just Not That Into You.
Despite hardships, a conversation Gerbes had with a teamster six years ago on the set of xXx: State Of The Union has stayed with him. The teamster thanked him for the work the Film Office was bringing in and Gerbes replied that he was just doing his job.
"He said, 'No, you don't understand," Gerbes recalls. "'All the work that you guys bring in, some of our guys are able now to put their kids through better schools.'"
That's when Gerbes realized what is truly lost when film productions go elsewhere: dollars, cents, and bragging rights, yes, but also livelihoods and families.
"It really hit home," he continues. "To go on a set and see all the Marylanders working—it's humbling. And it certainly puts a lot of pressure on me personally, knowing that whether I spend that extra hour out scouting might make a difference for a film. So you keep on digging."

Aoxing Pharmaceutical Company (AMEX: AXN) and Johnson Matthey Plc of the UK agreed to set up a JV to develop APIs for narcotic and neurological drugs. The two companies plan to invest $15 million in the new entity over the next five years. An Aoxing subsidiary will own 51% of the venture, while Macfarlan Smith (Hong Kong), an affiliate of Johnson Matthey Pacific Ltd., will hold the remaining 49%. The goal is to produce APIs for the China market.
The new joint venture will seek to develop eight narcotic APIs at the outset, though it claims the potential for up to 30 products eventually. It will be housed on the campus of an Aoxing subsidiary, Hebei Aoxing Pharmaceutical Group, in Xinle City, 200 kilometers southwest of Beijing. The JV hopes to have cGMP approval for a manufacturing facility by the end of 2010, with actual production beginning in Q1 of 2011.
Aoxing (AXN) has claimed that its ownership of a rare narcotics license gives the company entry into a niche with few competitors in China's otherwise crowded pharmaceutical market. However, so far, the company has not been able to make much money from its specialty, even though pain relief in China remains an under served need. The top 12 narcotics produced $1 billion in revenues globally during 2008, though the China market was estimated to total only $20 million.
Macfarlan will contribute technology expertise and an unspecified amount of capital to the joint venture. Hebei Aoxing Pharma will contribute capital, fixed assets and its API manufacturing licenses.
American Oriental Biogengineering (NYSE: AOB) holds a 35% stake in Aoxing, which also has established a strategic relationship with Australia's QRxPharma for a morphine and oxycodone Dual-Opioid™ drug.

Contact local animal shelters and animal control agencies
File a lost-pet report with every shelter within a sixty-mile radius of your home and visit the nearest shelters daily, if possible. If there is no shelter in your community, contact the local police department. Provide these agencies with an accurate description and a recent photograph of your pet. Notify the police if you believe that your pet was stolen.
Search the neighborhood
Walk or drive through your neighborhood several times each day. (Early morning and evening are the best times to look for a lost pet.) Ask neighbors, letter carriers, and delivery people if they have seen your pet. Hand out a recent photograph of your pet and information on how you can be reached if your pet is found.
Post signs at grocery stores, community centers, veterinary offices, traffic intersections, and other locations. Also, place advertisements in newspapers and with radio stations. Include your pet's sex, age, weight, breed, color, and any special markings. When describing your pet, leave out one identifying characteristic and ask the person who finds your pet to describe it.
Be wary of pet-recovery scams
When talking to a stranger who claims to have found your pet, ask him to describe the pet thoroughly before you offer any information. If he does not include the identifying characteristic you left out of the advertisements, he may not really have your pet. Be particularly wary of people who insist that you give or wire them money for the return of your pet.
Don't give up your search
Animals who have been lost for months have been reunited with their owners.
A pet -- even an indoor pet -- has a better chance of being returned if she always wears a collar and an ID tag with your name, address, and telephone number. Ask your local animal shelter or veterinarian if permanent methods of identification (such as microchips) are available in your area.
