Government review could affect laws on injectables and peels
A major review into cosmetic surgery and aesthetic procedures including botox, dermal fillers, laser hair removal, and skin peels, has been officially launched today (August 15) by the Department of Health.
The government review, led by Sir Bruce Keogh, medical director of the NHS, and health secretary Andrew Lansley, promises to scrutinise the cosmetic surgery and non-surgical aesthetics industries, which could potentially change the law on who can perform which treatments. For example, concern has been raised about beauty therapists performing treatments such as peels and laser treatments.
Keogh has recommended stricter rules in key areas including anti-ageing dermal fillers, which he said require only basic safety checks.
The clean up of the cosmetic surgery industry follows the problems women experienced with PIP breast implants earlier this year.
Keogh has called together a review committee to help advise him in making recommendations to the Government by next March on how it can better protect people who choose to have surgery or cosmetic procedures.
The members of this expert panel are:
• Andrew Vallance-Owen, former medical director of BUPA
• Catherine Kydd, campaigner on PiP implants
• Professor Sir Ian Kennedy, emeritus professor of health law, ethics and policy at University College London
• Trish Halpin, editor of Marie Claire magazine
• Dr Rosemary Leonard, GP and media doctor
• Professor Shirley Pearce, clinical psychologist and former vice chancellor of Loughborough University
• Simon Withey, plastic surgeon
• Vivienne Parry, writer and broadcaster
The call for evidence, will ask people's views on:
• The regulation and safety of products used in cosmetic interventions
• How to best ensure that the people who carry out the procedures have the necessary skills and qualifications
• How to ensure that organisations have systems in place to look after their patients both during their treatment and afterwards
• How to ensure that people considering cosmetic surgery and procedures are given the information, advice and time for reflection to make an informed choice
• What improvements are needed in dealing with complaints so they are listened to and acted upon.
Keogh said: "I'm concerned that too many people do not realise how serious cosmetic surgery is…we want to hear views from everyone, particularly people who have experience of the cosmetic surgery industry or of other cosmetic interventions – good and bad – so we can learn what works best."
Nobody representing the nursing or beauty therapy industries has been invited to participate in the expert panel advising the government. However, the findings and any consequent changes in law are likely to affect the scope of practice of both professions.
We want to hear your views. Should beauty therapists get a voice in a review that affects who can do salon-staple treatments such as laser hair removal and peels? Leave your comments below.

With all the talk about the new iteration of "Superman: The Man of Steel," some story info was bound to leak on the sequel that never was, the follow up to Bryan Singer's "Superman Returns."
Though no script was formally written, Singer was developing ideas and in a 2008 interview mentioned any sequel would have been a lot different from the first film, which he fully admitted was "romantic and nostalgic." "Clearly there'll be a body count," he laughed, joking, "from frame one, it will be unrelenting terror!" If anything, "Superman Returns" was admirable for not following the generic super hero film formula of tacking on a tiresome (and rarely rewarding) boss fight in the last ten minutes. Whether it worked or not is debatable, but it definitely would've been interesting to see the action chops that Singer displayed with his "X-Men" movies in the Superman universe. Unfortunately, it was never in the cards.
Never even greenlit, the follow up to 'Returns' now simply lands in the, "what might have been" category.. Oddly enough, original scribe Michael Dougherty ( co-writer of "X2," and now a director, with "Trick 'r Treat" which has been getting decent praise) also had plans for the sequel if he had been asked to come aboard. You may remember that in the beginning of "Superman Returns," Brandon Routh had left the planet looking for the rest of his breed without any luck (hence the title of the film), and it turns out that Dougherty was instead interested in his kinship finding him. "In my mind, if the Kryptonians really were a space-faring race... it would only make sense that there would've been colonies and off-planet missions... other Kryptonians making their way to Earth seemed like a pretty big one." Definitely sounds like decent grounding for an exciting brawl.
The Kryptonians however, "wouldn't necessarily be evil right off the bat", Dougherty said. "That's too easy and cliché. I don't think people just show up and they're evil. I think it'd be interesting to see how these other Kryptonians show up, land and have all these powers and [have to learn] how to adapt to them."
Prepared to "right the wrongs" of the first film, Dougherty also probably would've ushered in other villains not previously seen in big screen adaptions. "I love action, so I wanted action, and I was the guy in the room who kept whining about wanting a super villain," he added, "Brainiac was always interesting." So would the second film have also followed the bloated two-villain routine? Possibly, so maybe it's not a bad thing that this one never saw the light of day. As for Dougherty's taste, action might be the only thing Zack Snyder vaguely knows about (so long as it runs in slow-mo), so he might be in a for a good time. As for who the "Man of Steel" villain is, that remains to be seen, though Snyder is damn persistent in claiming, once again, that Zod will not be the antagonist. Though Snyder seems to be waffling. In early interviews it was said the film would track the early days of Superman and now Snyder says, "I think it's early to say. I don't know." Either that, or he just can't say which is likely.
But back to the never-happened "Superman Returns" sequel. True, all of these ideas were merely just that and barely even made it to paper -- "There was never any official deal for the second one", Dougherty said, "There was always talk and whispers and stuff but nothing ever got off the ground" -- however it's nice to know what might have happened had the studio gave them the go ahead. A Superman film in the vein of the first two "X-Men" would've been a sight to see. At the least, now we can look forward to a ridiculous sex scene set to god knows what kind of unintentionally funny and poor choice of music.
TheoC | November 7, 2010 8:56 AM
Thank you for reminding me of Zack Snyder' sex scenes, I like Superman so much I weaken and read every story despite the fact that the Hack is involved. Hallelujah! christ i'd forgotten how painful that sequence was. Do the owls fuck to the prodigy in legends of the guardian?
I'd have liked a Singer follow up to Superman returns, I was intrigued by that creepy kid and Parker Posey's outfits enough to want to see more but I completely understand the criticisms of the film.

Met Office: Storm to bring severe gales and heavy rain
Updated 8:23am Wednesday 5th February 2014 in News
Met Office forecasters are warning that heavy rain and gale force winds will continue to affect the UK at times this week, bringing the possibility of further travel disruption.
The stormy conditions are expected to bring damaging gusts of wind of up to 60 mph inland and perhaps as high as 80 mph along some southern and western coasts of Britain on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
These severe gales, combined with further heavy rain may cause some disruption because of fallen trees and high waves in coastal areas, added the Met Office.
A Met Office statement read:"Yellow Severe Weather Warnings have been issued for gales and heavy rain for each of the Atlantic depressions forecast to affect the UK this week, meaning people should be aware that severe weather is expected and should plan ahead for possible travel delays, or the disruption of day to day activities."
Chris Tubbs, Met Office deputy chief Meteorologist, said: "We have more Atlantic depression heading our way during the rest of the week and over the weekend.
"Heavy rain and gales sweeping in from the west later on Tuesday and for Wednesday brings the risk of further flooding in some areas and possible travel disruption.
"There is now increased confidence that much of the southern half of Britain will see further heavy rain on Thursday evening and night, and that will be quickly followed by another storm early Saturday.
"Throughout this spell of unsettled weather, everyone is advised to stay up to date with the latest Met Office forecasts and National Severe Weather Warnings and be aware that the weather may change or worsen, leading to disruption of your plans in the next few days."
The gales will also continue to bring the additional risk of large and potentially hazardous waves in coastal areas.
Will Stephens, RNLI Coastal Safety Staff Officer, said: "With more stormy weather forecast, we're asking people to take extra care if they're going down to the coast. "Rough seas and extreme weather might look exciting, but getting too close can be risky. So respect the water and, in particular, avoid exposed places where big waves could sweep you off your feet."
John Curtin, head of Incident Management at the Environment Agency, said: "Following the wettest January on record in some places we are now set to experience successive bands of heavy rain heavy rain fall lasting into the weekend.
"With further river and coastal flooding expected this week we have teams working around the clock to protect homes and communities, and over 117,000 homes have been protected over the past three days.
"Strong winds and waves could be dangerous, and we would urge people to stay away from coastal paths and promenades, and not to drive through flood water.
"In the face of this severe weather we would also remind people that they can sign up to receive free flood warnings, check their flood risk and keep up to date with the latest situation on the Environment Agency website and on social media using #floodaware."
Throughout this unsettled spell Met Office forecasters and advisors are working round the clock with our partners to keep everyone up to date with the latest forecast information so they can plan and prepare for the expected weather.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although there is mounting research showing a connection between spirituality/religiosity and health, truly understanding their relationship has only just begun. Scientific literature indicates that spirituality/religiosity is an important resource for coping with chronic disease, may be related to better mental and physical health, and improved medical outcomes. It is unclear whether the published data on the health promoting effects of spirituality/religiosity from North America, which draw on a particular cultural background with a deep-seated and vital religious tradition, can easily be transferred to countries with different cultural and religious backgrounds, or to more secular countries such as Northern Europe. Moreover, what are the distinct religious attitudes or distinct forms of spiritual practice that are associated with better medical outcomes and better health (or worse health)? The special issue of Religions will provide an overview on different concepts of spirituality/religiosity in the context of health and chronic disease, and will explore the attitudes of patients toward implementing this in clinical practice. For any practical applications that lead to the addressing of spiritual/religious issues in clinical practice, the scientific evidence of associations between spirituality/religiosity, health and coping needs to be critically analyzed and discussed.

To the editor:
Fossil fuels currently dominate New Hampshire's energy use. However, this dependence on unsustainable sources is drawing to a close, as more residents are choosing clean energy to run their homes. We can continue to make progress on environmentally friendly energy if the state supports legislation to do so.
There are 30,000 New Hampshire residents who currently rely on wind power. While this renewable source is important to many, New Hampshire has not yet reached its potential. According to the National Renewable Energy Lab, wind power could supply 60 percent of New Hampshire homes.
We will only reach this possibility if Congress acts to renew tax credits that expire at the end of this year. The production tax credit (PTC) and investment tax credit (ITC) both provide funds that support clean energy, which is crucial to making this technology available to a wider population.
I urge senators Jeanne Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte to support clean energy incentives, such the renewal of the PTC and the ITC. I also ask Granite Staters to contact their congressmen and request that they support these measures to ensure the continued success of wind power. These tax credits will benefit New Hampshire as it looks forward to a cleaner future.

GRAND CHUTE (WKOW) -- The 66th version of the WIAA state baseball tournament began with two Madison area teams and Sun Prairie topped Waunakee 4-0 in the D1 quartefinal. It didn't take long for the defending state champs to get on the board, scoring three in the first inning. Sun Prairie pitcher Sam Lund earned a complete-game, 7 inning shutout, allowing just four hits in the game.
The Stoughton Vikings followed, playing their first state baseball game since 1984. The Vikings topped Neenah 4-3 on a walkoff suicide squeese play in the bottom of the seventh. Stoughton loaded the bases with just one out, and Ben Gerber scored the winning run just after PJ Rosowski layed down a bunt.
Stoughton moved on to face Sun Prairie in the D1 semifinals later on Tuesday night at 6pm.

Offenbach was born Jacob Offenbach in Cologne on June 20, 1819. His first lessons were on violin. At age nine his focus turned to the cello, possibly to become the third member of a family trio: his brother Julius was already proficient on the violin, and his sister Isabella was a good pianist. Together, the three played local engagements for small sums of money. Offenbach's teachers included Joseph Alexander and Bernhard Breuer.
In 1833, Offenbach's father took him to Paris, where he was enrolled at the Conservatory. It was during his early years there that he adopted the French version of his name, "Jacques." After leaving the Conservatory about a year later, Offenbach took further lessons on the cello from Louis Norblin, but, more importantly, studied composition with Halévy. He supported himself during this period by playing in the Opéra-Comique orchestra. By 1838, when he left his orchestral post, he had become one of the finest cellists in Europe and began performing with Flotow, who played the piano. Although he had been composing small pieces since his childhood, Offenbach began writing larger works now, like the score for the comedy, Pascal et Chambord, premiered in 1839.
Over the next several years, Offenbach met and performed with Anton Rubinstein and Franz Liszt, and he traveled to London in 1844 to give concerts with Mendelssohn and Joachim. That same year he married Herminie d'Alcain, following his conversion from Judaism to Catholicism. Clearly, Offenbach could have chosen to remain primarily a performing artist, but in 1847 he began composing operettas, his first being L'alcove. He was appointed conductor at the Théâtre Français in 1850, and by 1855, when he resigned that conducting post for another, began attaining regular performances of his works at important theaters like the Bouffes-Parisiens, at Salle Marigny.
Orphée aux enfers (Orpheus in the underworld) was a great success in 1858 and paved the way for his subsequent larger operettas. He had a string of hits in the mid-1860s: La belle Hélène (1864), Barbe-bleue (1866), La vie parisienne (1866), and La Périchole (1868). While his later works also achieved success, they did not generate the level of excitement attained by these.
In 1874, Offenbach, now director of the Théâtre de la Gaité, mounted new versions of some of his earlier successful operettas, like La Périchole, but failed to turn profits. Eventually he went into bankruptcy. A concert tour to the United States in 1876 and new productions of his works in London a few years later helped give him financial solvency. Offenbach continued composing up to his last days. He was working on his opera, the aforementioned Les contes d'Hoffman, when he died on October 5, 1880. The work, existing in piano score only, was orchestrated by Guiraud, who also made a few additions. Read less

It's shaping up as a potentially historic day on Beacon Hill.
With gas prices surging, the Legislature by the end of Wednesday could add to the price escalation.
Lawmakers appear set to override Gov. Deval Patrick's veto of a bill raising taxes by $500 million.
The tax package raises the 23.5 cents per gallon gas tax by 3 cents and guarantees regular increases in the future by tying the levy to inflation.
Playing off the royal birth announcement theme, Rep. Dan Winslow, R-Norfolk, and House Republicans planned to place a framed announcement outside the House chamber to mark the "Birth of Permanent Gas Tax Increases."
AAA Southern New England reported Monday that gas prices jumped 9 cents a gallon over the past week and 23 cents a gallon over the past month, hitting an average of $3.71 per gallon.
The tax plan also slaps another dollar per pack on the cigarette tax and applies the 6.25 percent sales tax to software services, a controversial proposal that has generated backlash from business groups who say it will damage the state's innovation economy.
The tax plan's supporters say the bill's passage will enable the state to address longstanding gaps in transportation system funding and a gaping hole in the current MBTA budget and help shore up a system that is critical to economic development.
Overrides must be adopted in both branches to take effect. The House is scheduled to vote first Wednesday and if the override prevails there, as expected, the Senate will be ready to take up the bill this afternoon.

The Corner at CCS
Sometimes there are those special moments in skateboarding that people just can't stop talking about. The release of Girl and Chocolate's video, Pretty Sweet, has been exactly that. Sure it came out last year, but the shock and awe of it all is still top of mind for many. We caught up with Girl Pro Brandon Biebel this month to get the inside scoop. Check out this exclusive interview of what he had to say as well as a few unseen photos from our latest magalog cover shot by CCS pro Arto Saari. What was the most memorable part of the video for you? The day we filmed the intro. We didn't really know what was going on and they asked us all to meet up at this schoolyard at six in the morning. We did the whole thing as one continuous take where they filmed it all with a helicopter and choreographed the whole thing. It was really cool to be there for that. It was try after try after try, but once it got nailed and the confetti cannons went off it was really cool. It fluttered confetti for a good five minutes straight. When I looked up in the sky it was amazing. There was tons of confetti and all our friends were around. It was a pretty memorable moment.
Who had the best part in your opinion? The best part for me goes out to Guy Mariano. I knew he was going to have a great part, but when I saw it all edited up and finished I really loved it. I watched it over and over again. How did you feel about your part? I was stoked. I was honored to share a part with Jeron Wilson. He's like my big brother. I've looked up to him my whole life skating so to share a part with him was super cool for me. I was really happy with how it turned out. Is there anything you wanted to get but didn't? Yeah, there was a bunch of stuff. We'd go on trips and sometimes things wouldn't work out and we'd go back and try it again. A lot of stuff slipped away. But I think that goes for everyone. You always want to get more, but that's what's good about skating. It never stops. There's always stuff you can go back and get. Did you guys get to see the video before the premiere? I actually didn't see any of my footage or anyone else's footage beforehand. I was clueless. I knew a lot of the tricks that people did and I was there to witness a lot of them, but as far as the footage went I didn't see any of the edits, intros or anything. So when I went to the premiere I was really excited and it was cool to watch the whole thing from front to back. Overall it's an awesome video and everyone affiliated did a great job.
Who's your favorite Trunk Boy? That's a tough one. The Trunk Boyz are unreal. Those guys are so sick. All five of them—Elijah, Vincent, Stevie, Corey and Raven. I got to go on a lot of trips with those guys and they're all my favorite, but if I had to pick one I would say Vincent Alvarez. I've known him the longest out of all the Trunk Boyz and he's the MVP at every skate spot. Who came up with the name, Trunk Boyz? I think they were on a trip to Nicaragua and Rick McCrank made it up. They're always hanging out together and they're always hanging out in the back panel of the van on tour. They just started calling them the Trunk Boyz and I think it just clicked. I love rolling with the Trunk Boyz. A lot of the footage from the video was from China. What's it like skating over there? China is one of the best places to skate. It has unlimited spots and you don't get kicked out. A lot of it is completely untouched too and everything is smooth and mostly marble. It's great. It's like heaven for street skating. What was it like working with Jack Black? That guy is just the funniest dude. There was never a dull moment. He was so funny and cool. We were laughing the whole time. He's a great guy and it was a huge honor to be able to work with him.

After months of negotiations, Jackson Health System and the University of Miami reached an operating agreement for 2013-14.
On Thursday, the Public Health Trust, which oversees Jackson, conditionally approved the agreement for $102.5 million, subject to a legal review of its fair market value. Its the lowest-budgeted agreement in seven years.
Jackson and UMs Miller School of Medicine have worked together in an arrangement that goes back at least 50 years. In this agreement, a binding letter of intent commits them to multi-year exclusivity provisions for transplant, trauma, pediatrics and obstetrics services.
Were the No. 1 hospital because of UM. The agreement ensures these services will continue to be here in those areas that are most important to our market, said Jeff Crudele, executive vice president and chief strategy officer at Jackson.
But for Jackson, the win in the agreement is the cost of those services, Crudele said. The new operating budget is significantly lower than the last years, at $121.1 million, and well below the 2008 high of $138.8 million.
Over 60 percent is allocated to pay for transplant and other key services that UM will exclusively provide, as well as clinical instruction and other educational support for medical residents and fellows.
Were getting very good at working together to find the efficiencies, Crudele said.
Board member Marcos Lapciuc, who cast the only dissenting vote, has long fought for Jackson to outsource some physician services. While my issues with some of the services are well known, I feel very comfortable with the transplant, trauma and other aspects of the agreement with UM doctors whove been very loyal to UM, he said.

I don't leave the house without eyeliner. Depending on what I wear I have dashes of dark red in my eyes, along w/ a light blue rim around the brown...so the eyeliner really makes my eyes pop! =) This lady looks gorgeous either way but yeah the eyeliner makes her look fabulous!! =)ReplyDelete

Isn't it amazing what makeup on the eyes can do to change your whole look? I quit wearing any several years ago when life got overwhelming but you've convinced me it's necessary to begin again - you look great!ReplyDelete

Those eye lash curlers make your eye lashes get weak at the roots and fall off...why not just apply one coat of mascara, let if fully dry...use your index fingers to curl the eyelashes up (you look down as you press your fingers up against your lashes) then you finish it off my applying as many more coats of mascara....but seriously those eye lash curlers are no good in the long run.ReplyDelete
I'm so scared of liquid liner, I always make a mess. I need to give it another try. I never leave the house without eyeliner and mascara though. It makes a huge difference. I love the Laura Mercier powder. Definitely one of my favorites.ReplyDelete
Wow!!! Beautiful (on both pics) thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Thanks for all the kind words, ladies! I wanted to make sure everyone was aware that the eyeliner isn't a liquid, but it is a gel eyeliner. :) It is sooo much easier to work with. Liquid eyeliners have always totally wigged me out!ReplyDelete
When it comes to an eyelash curler, I really think it has to do with the quality of the curler. I agree that some of them can be rather harsh, but if you can find/afford a nice one, they are must have. :) Here is the brand that I have. A friend of mine is a makeup artist in NYC and this was her recommendation.
Your eyes look ridiculously pretty! Off to buy some brightening powder. :)ReplyDelete
i must say the model is just sooo beautiful..she looks great with or without make-up but her eyes really do pop! i do also have to say i have used all the products from her recomendation and at 53 i get complements on my eyes..it just goes to show it works at any age.. thank-you for your great tips..;)ReplyDelete
Sorry guys- I had it wrong on the origianl posting. It's GEL liner, not liquid liner. This is why I am NOT a make up expert!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the tips and modeling, Stace. Your lovely face is all over Pinterest today:)
Boy, I could use a little help from Stacie myself! Could you please ask her what the brightening powder is for? Is it something appropriate for a 40+ year old woman, or is it too shiny? And while you are at it, please tell her what a very pretty and talented girl she is!ReplyDelete
Hey, Heather! The brightening powder is used to set your under eye concealer and adds an invisible lightening boost! My mom loves this product and she is in her 50's. :) I think it would be a great addition to any makeup bag!ReplyDelete
You know, I have a ridiculous amount of makeup and use maybe a quarter of it. And it's because, like you, I get in a makeup rut and use the same stuff.ReplyDelete
Not that I need to add anything else, but I think I need to get me some brightening powder...
Thanks for the tutorial!
I can't live without my eyelash curler, I have used it and the pink tube since the 80's yikes!ReplyDelete
Great eyes! I can't believe the difference!ReplyDelete
Barbara- I LOVE the pink tube! My mom used it when I was growing up, and I used to steal hers all the time. Now i love it because it's cheap and works just as good as the more expensive stuff.ReplyDelete
i love the look!! super cute! :) I love the thick eyeliner. I need to get some brightening powder now!ReplyDelete
My favorite tip is to bat your lashes and laugh really hard!ReplyDelete

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - The University of Virginia will hold several events marking the 50th anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a Dream" speech.
The university's chapel will hold a bell-ringing ceremony at 3 p.m. on Aug. 28 in Charlottesville.
Two other afternoon events will be free and open to the public.
In addition, students will read parts of King's speech and hold discussions at 2 p.m. in the Rotunda Dome Room. And the Carter G. Woodson Institute of African-American and African Studies will host a 4:30 p.m. discussion in the Mary and David Harrison Institute for American History, Literature and Culture auditorium.
King led the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and delivered his signature speech from the Lincoln Memorial.

University of Virginia Press Release
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Aug. 14, 2013 — Bells will peal around the world on Aug. 28 at 3 p.m. – including those at the University of Virginia's Chapel – to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, part of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The University will hold two events that afternoon to mark the occasion, both free and open to the public.
U.Va.'s Office for Diversity and Equity will host "Let Freedom Ring at U.Va.," starting at 2 p.m. in the Rotunda Dome Room. Seating, which is limited in the Dome Room, will be first-come, first-served.
Later, the Carter G. Woodson Institute of African-American and African Studies will host an event from 4:30 to 6 p.m. focusing on ways to revitalize the purpose of King's speech, which emphasized the need for jobs and justice. That gathering will be held in the auditorium of the Mary and David Harrison Institute for American History, Literature and Culture/Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library.
At the "Let Freedom Ring" event, U.Va. students will read parts of King's speech and provide reflections. Dr. Marcus Martin, vice president and chief officer for diversity and equity, also will offer comments leading up to the 3 p.m. ringing of the U.Va. Chapel bells. The event was planned in response to the Atlanta-based Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change's call for "Let Freedom Ring" bell-ringing activities in cities and towns in the U.S. and worldwide. Participants in the later discussion will include Frank Dukes, director of the Institute for Environmental Negotiation, based in the School of Architecture, and executive director of University and Community Action for Racial Equity; U.Va. students from the Black Student Alliance; Kristin Szakos, vice mayor of Charlottesville; Andrea Douglass of the Jefferson Heritage Center; Jim Bundy of Sojourners United Church of Christ; and representatives from the Living Wage Campaign. The participants will offer their interpretations in any format they choose – in spoken words, song, dance, instrumental performance, etc., said Deborah McDowell, director of the Woodson Institute and Alice Griffin Professor of English.
"My colleagues and I are envisioning this as an occasion to do more than memorialize the speech and reiterate its famous references to the 'color of their skin' and 'the content of their character,'" McDowell said. "Rather, I thought we'd want to see this event as an opportunity – dare I say, an obligation? – to rethink the speech and attempt to re-invigorate its meanings and its promises, as well as the original purpose behind the march."Let's not forget that this was the 'March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.' The rhetoric of dreaming sometimes eclipses the call for jobs and freedom," she said.Atlanta's King Center, led by King's daughter, Bernice, organized the global event with several organizations, including those that convened the 1963 March on Washington.

text: AURORA, Ore. (AP) - More than a dozen chefs from Portland, Ore., joined Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife instructors with a mission: Learn to fire a gun. Most of the chefs had never held a firearm before. The idea was to bring Portland "locavore" chefs closer to the food they serve. The chefs didn't shoot anything edible - just clay pigeons. In a city that emphasizes food that's local, sustainable and organic, the event was meant to demonstrate to chefs that their food doesn't start neatly packaged. Chef Chris Carriker of Portland restaurant Gilt Club says city restaurant patrons demand fresh and local food, and even middle-of-the-road restaurants need to be able to provide it.

Here's a matchup to watch in Sunday's Bengals-Browns game.
Browns tight ends vs. Cincinnati's linebackers and defensive backs
The Browns are deep and skilled at tight end. This is one of their clear offensive strengths, one that could help them compenstate for a lack of proven playmakers at wide receiver.
TE Benjamin Watson led the Browns in catches (68), yards (763) and TD receptions (three) in 2010. He hauled in two-thirds of the passes thrown his way, and no other Cleveland player was targeted more in the passing game. Watson can get lost in the shuffle in the discussion of the game's accomplished tight ends, but he can be a tough cover for linebackers and defensive backs alike.
The same can be said for Evan Moore, a converted wide receiver. Moore had a pair of TD catches in the preseason and is a player on the rise. Moore can be used like a wideout and could find himself matched up with Bengals CBs Leon Hall and/or Nate Clements at times Sunday.
Hall and Clements are a solid starting tandem. Hall, the Bengals' top cornerback, has good instincts and ball skills but not elite speed. Clements, who's best in zone coverage, is a strong, physical cornerback who can be a little too aggressive at times.
How Bengals MLB Rey Maualuga and SLB Manny Lawson fare in coverage situations against the tight ends could be key. Lawson, who replaces Maualuga on the strong side with Maualuga moving into what was Dhani Jones' spot in the middle, defended a career-high six passes a season ago. WLB Thomas Howard has the best speed of the Bengals' starters at his position.
Bengals SS Chris Crocker has plenty of AFC North experience and has played free safety in the past, too. New starting FS Reggie Nelson is athletic, but his play has been up-and-down during his career.

Morgantown residents have noticed new activity at the highly visible Northeast Natural Energy wellpad in the Morgantown Industrial Park across the Monongahela River.
"There is a crane and some scaffolding or some type of structure that was definitely not there before," said Marc Glass, resident of nearby Westover.
Glass said he noticed "lots of crane motor noise when it operated and clanking of pipe and such … I did also note a strong odor from the satellite equipment … I'd describe it as a dirty butane smell, but I only noticed it in the park and fairly close to the equipment, say within 200 yards."
Controversy in 2011 over the wells sited at that wellpad led Morgantown City Council to ban drilling with hydraulic fracturing within a mile of city limits. NNE challenged the ban and got it overturned in Monongalia County Circuit Court.
The Morgantown Utility Board, which played a key role in the communications and negotiations about permit conditions with NNE throughout the 2011 process, also noticed the recent activity.
MUB General Manager Tim Ball said in a Nov. 4 email message that he had not been notified about any work at the site, but that he had contacted NNE and been told, "The work is on one of the two existing wells. They are adjusting a pipe position (insertion depth) for more efficient gas withdrawal."
NNE founder and President Mike John offered elaboration by e-mail.
"Our recent well work in Morgantown was undertaken to adjust the position of the tubing that was already in place within the well bore," John wrote.
The tubing is 2 7/8-inch-diameter pipe located inside the 5 ½-inch production casing, he wrote. Its purpose is to improve flow efficiency and it can be adjusted up or down within the wellbore to affect production.
The company undertook the adjustment to "optimize" or "enhance" the well flow, he said, and not in response to any negative or unexpected condition.
"We want the well to be able to deliver as much natural gas as possible to the town of Morgantown this winter," he added.
John said he did not have an explanation for the smell that was noticed.
The work was done using specialized equipment that maintained a "static (no-flow) condition" in the well, he wrote.
"Equipment on site as the work was performed encapsulated all activity within the well," he concluded. "I have no knowledge as to what else was going on within the industrial park during that time that may have caused an odor."

Mayur N. Shah
Mumbai , July 28
Two major carmakers are planning to enter used car market. Tata Motors and Hyundai Motor India have initiated pilot projects for this segment.
While Hyundai calls the new business, `Hyundai Advantage', Tata Motors is still scouting for a brand name. Mr Praveen Kadle, Executive Director - Finance and Corporate Affairs, Tata Motors, said that the operations of the new business would be part of the company's integral operations and therefore no division or subsidiary will be created specifically for it.
Mr G. Sanjay, Deputy General Manager, Marketing and Sales, Hyundai Motor India, said that the company was working on the used car business as a pilot project and zeroed in on cities such as Bhubaneshwar, Thrissur and Hyderabad as promising ones. Tata officials said that the new business offering would help promote and penetrate their brand in the semi-urban and rural market.
According to industry analysts, the used car business is getting more organised with players like Toyota entering the market. The used car business is estimated to be two-three times that of the new car market and is governed largely by the unorganised grey market. With more and more auto players entering the market, the ratio is slowly reversing.

AL: Well, that is highly, highly improbable, isn't it? …And, something that you could never write in a film because no one would believe it. But we actually did premiere on the day that DOMA and Prop 8 fell by the Supreme Court's hand. Not only was it an astonishing response… Here we were in the city that the story was taking place — the Harvey Milk story took place in San Francisco — but we were also in the state where Proposition 8 had been struck down, and there I was at the center of it all, not only writing the music and lyrics, but playing Harvey Milk. So that experience — that particular day — was unforgettable. The response from the audience, of course, was extraordinary, but we got that response every day, and we've got such an enormous outpouring of support for this piece. I can neither say when nor where, but we will be doing it next year in New York City in a major venue in the city with an enormous number of people. I think we'll be doing it with about 400 people on the stage. It's going to be a one-night event. And, I expect to be playing Harvey Milk again, so I'm really excited about that.
Tell me about playing Harvey Milk. How close did you relate to him?
AL: Like every gay friend of mine, I have my own particular gay story, my own particular coming-out story, my own fears and my own issues of self-worth and dealing with the things I was told by society and my family that I had to overcome. To be able to portray a man who was our first gay elected leader, who was Jewish — as I was born and raised Jewish — who was 48 years old when he was assassinated, and I am 48 years old, and he lived in New York for many years, as I have… I felt very fortunate to be able to inhabit this gay hero and to be able to give him a musical life and perhaps add a little bit to the story. There are certain heroes in our culture who we will never stop talking about — in our culture at large. We will never stop talking about Thomas Jefferson. We will never stop talking about Martin Luther King. And, I don't think we'll ever stop talking about Harvey Milk — I hope we don't. It's partly my responsibility, as an artist and as a gay man, to add to the literature that says, "This is also a way to look at Harvey and Harvey's legacy and what Harvey had to say." What I ended up writing, and what I ended up able to convey, I think, in playing the part was that…it isn't only a gay story. Gay rights are human rights, and "human rights" is a story that affects everyone. That, I think, is one of the defining features of I Am Harvey Milk. It's a piece about humanity. It's not a piece about gay people. The recording should be available soon. We're in the process of mixing and editing now.

---- — LAKE PLACID — Trails accessing the southern portion of the McKenzie Mountain Wilderness will be closed today to allow removal of plane wreckage from Big Burn Mountain.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation said a section of the Jack Rabbit Trail between Whiteface Inn Road in Lake Placid and McKenzie Pond Road near Saranac Lake will be closed.
The Haystack Mountain Trail on Route 86 in Ray Brook will also be shut down.
People who plan to ski the Jack Rabbit Trail are encouraged to use other sections of the trail or the nearby Moose Pond Trail off Route 3 north of Saranac Lake.
DEC forest rangers and DEC officers will be stationed at the three trailheads for these trails during the closure.
A helicopter will be used to lift the plane wreckage off the mountain and set it down at nearby location. Due to the extent of the damage, pieces of the plane could fall on the trails, necessitating their closure.
The plane crashed on the side of Big Burn Mountain on Feb. 21 during an attempt to land at the Lake Placid Airport. The pilot and his two passengers survived the plane crash unhurt and were rescued by DEC forest rangers early the next morning.

Dryad aims to make data archiving as simple and as rewarding as possible through a suite of services not necessarily provided by publishers or institutional websites:
Dryad hosts research data underlying scientific and medical publications. Historically, the repository has been strongest in the life sciences. Most data in the repository is associated with peer-reviewed journal articles, but data associated with non-peer reviewed publications from other reputable sources (such as dissertations) is also accepted. At this time, all Dryad submissions must be in English.
Most types of files can be submitted (e.g., text, spreadsheets, video, photographs, software code) including compressed archives of multiple files. Ordinarily, no more than 10GB of material are submitted for a single publication; larger data sets are accepted but will be subject to additional charges.
Data that was originally collected for another publication may be submitted as long as it is referenced by the current publication. Non-data files may also be submitted to Dryad provided the files are integral to the publication and can be released in the public domain; note that policies for the use of Dryad versus Supplementary Materials vary by journal.
While Dryad can host software scripts and snapshots of software source code, we recommend the use of a public software repository with version control for the ongoing maintenance of software packages. Software in Dryad must be released under a CC0 license.
Your data may be submitted at different points in the publication process. If the data accompany an article in a journal that has not integrated its submission process (see list of integrated journals) the best time to do so is immediately after notice of acceptance.
If you received an invitation to submit data to Dryad from a journal, then that journal has integrated its submission process with Dryad. Please follow the instructions from the journal to determine whether the data should be submitted before review (at the time of initial manuscript submission) or upon acceptance (but still prior to publication).
If a delayed-release data embargo is allowed by your journal, you may select that option at the time of submission, prior to publication. You may also submit data associated with previously published works (in which case you can simplify the submission process by entering the DOI or PubMedID to get started).
Some integrated journals enable their authors to make data privately available to editors and reviewers, during the article review process. Dryad does not allow files to be deleted while an article is under review. We only allow additions during this time. This restriction ensures that all reviewers see the files that were originally submitted.
To add corrected files, log into your Dryad account and click on the "My Submissions" link in the menu. Select the appropriate data package. At the bottom of the page for this package, you will see a button "Add new data file". After you have finished adding data files, please email firstname.lastname@example.com to indicate which files should be retained during the final curation process.
Once your article has been accepted for publication, the Dryad curators will remove duplicate or superseded files. If the manuscript is rejected, the files remain in your review workspace, and may be associated with another journal.
Frequently, journals provide guidelines for where to archive particular kinds of data and what community standards to follow. Dryad defers to journal editors and reviewers in setting and enforcing such standards.
Submitters should aim to provide sufficient data and descriptive information such that another researcher would be able to evaluate and reproduce the findings described in the publication. This will generally include any data that are used in statistical tests, as well the individual data points behind the published figures and tables. Submitters are advised to follow community data standards for the content and format of data files.
We strongly encourage you to include a ReadMe file that provides additional information to make sense of the files (e.g. instructions for use of software scripts, variable abbreviations, measurement units, and data codes).
Providing well-documented data in a community-accepted format is in the interest of the submitter since it encourages others to reuse and thus cite the original work.
The submission process is designed to be self-explanatory, but here is what you can expect. You will need to register the first time you come to Dryad and be signed in so that you can return to a submission at a later date should it be necessary. If you received a customized Dryad submission URL from your journal, please use that to enter the system so that the manuscript information can be automatically retrieved. If you are entering data for a previously published work, you may use a DOI or PubMedID to pull up the publication information. If the prior publication lacks a DOI and PubMedID, or if you are submitting data prior to publication in a journal that is not yet integrated with Dryad, you will first need to describe the publication (e.g. the author names, the title, the journal). You will need to make a legal affirmation on behalf of all the authors. Then you will upload your data files and ReadMe files and modify the metadata to your liking. You have the opportunity to save an incomplete submission and return to it later.
If you encounter any difficulties, or realize that you need to make modifications after you have submitted your data package, please contact us through our web form or email email@example.com.
A ReadMe file is intended to help ensure that the data can be correctly interpreted. You may submit one ReadMe for the data package as a whole and/or provide a separate ReadMe for each individual data file to supplement the file descriptions. We recommend that a ReadMe be a plain text file containing the following:
Data citation practices are actively evolving and vary among journals. Dryad does not have a recommendation for the placement of data citations at this time. Some publishing organizations, such as CrossRef, recommend reporting the data both in the text (e.g., within the Methods or in a dedicated Data Availability section) and in the Bibliography.
When referencing data in the text, we recommend the following as a template:
Data available from the Dryad Digital Repository: http://dx.doi.org/10.5061/dryad.[NNNN]
In the Bibliography, we recommend a citation similar to:
Heneghan C, Thompson M, Billingsley M, Cohen, D (2011) Data from: Medical-device recalls in the UK and the device-regulation process: retrospective review of safety notices and alerts. Dryad Digital Repository. http://dx.doi.org/10.5061/dryad.585t4
By default, data are released at the time the publication is made available online. Some journals that have integrated their submission process with Dryad allow authors to designate that individual files be released only after one year from the default release date. For these journals only, the embargo option can be selected within the Dryad interface at the time of data submission. If selected, the metadata for the file will be visible on the publication release date, but the file itself will not be downloadable. Archiving the data prior to publication guarantees that the data are safely archived while allowing the original authors to complete ongoing work. However, we encourage researchers to use this option sparingly; the risk of being scooped on a forthcoming publication is generally quite small, while the negative impact on citations of delaying the release of the data is likely to be more common. Note also that only the data required to support the claims made in the publication need to be archived. Of course, you are welcome to archive more if you like.
Since a guiding principle of Dryad is to make its contents freely available for research and educational use, there are no access costs for individual users or institutions. Instead, Dryad supports its nonprofit mission by recovering costs upfront. Dryad does collect a Data Publishing Charge (DPC) upon submission. The submitter is asked to pay this charge at the time of submission unless (a) the associated journal, or another organization, has already contracted with Dryad to cover the DPC, or (b) the submitter is based in a country classified by the World Bank as a low-income or lower-middle-income economy. Additional charges will apply to data packages in excess of 10 GB and from journals without integrated submission. The price schedule is detailed here.
Dryad performs basic checks on each submission (can the files be opened? are they free of viruses? are they free of copyright restrictions? do they appear to be free of sensitive data?). The completeness and correctness of the metadata (e.g. information about the associated publication, the date on which any embargo is to be lifted, indexing keywords) are checked and the DOI is officially registered. The data packages are backed up by a digital library network to ensure the availability and integrity of the contents for the long-term. The information content of the original file is never intentionally modified or processed, but copies may be made in different file formats to facilitate preservation. The data package is publicly released once the online version of the associated publication is available unless an alternative release option has been selected, and the metadata are shared with indexing services to promote discoverability.
Yes, Dryad counts data package views and data file views and downloads, and displays this information on each data package and data file page. While considerable effort has been made to exclude automated web crawlers from Dryad's counts, views and downloads may still be overestimates of human usage.
You may also monitor the impact of Dryad data packages and files through citations, sharing links on social media, etc. using emerging services such as ImpactStory.org, altmetric.com and the Data Citation Index. While some of these services do allow you to see who has discussed your data on social media, Dryad does not track, and cannot report, the identity of the individuals who view or download files.
The data hosted by Dryad have been dedicated to the public domain, to the extent possible under the law, under the terms of Creative Commons Zero (CC0), in order to minimize legal barriers and maximize the impact on research and education. However, CC0 does not waive other persons' rights in the work (e.g., privacy) and, in many jurisdictions, does not waive your moral rights as an author (e.g., to the integrity of the work). Furthermore, while CC0 does not assert a legal requirement for attribution, community norms for scholarly communication do set expectations for how to attribute the original creators. Some partner journals provide authors the option of a limited-duration embargo (typically one year) from the time of publication before the data become available, and journal editors have the discretion to grant longer embargoes under special circumstances.
Note that a very small number of early submissions to Dryad are available under a license other than CC0.
No, all the content in Dryad is free to download and reuse.
When citing data found in Dryad, please cite both the original article as well as the Dryad data package. It is recommended that the data package be cited in the bibliography of the original publication so that the link between the publication and data is indexed by third party services. Dryad provides a generic citation string that includes authors, year, title, repository name and the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of the data package, e.g.
Westbrook JW, Kitajima K, Burleigh JG, Kress WJ, Erickson DL, Wright SJ (2011) Data from: What makes a leaf tough? Patterns of correlated evolution between leaf toughness traits and demographic rates among 197 shade-tolerant woody species in a neotropical forest. Dryad Digital Repository. http://dx.doi.org/10.5061/dryad.8525
Dryad also assigns a DOI to each data file, which should only be used in contexts where the citation to the data package as a whole is already understood or would not be necessary (such as when referring to the specific file used as part of the methods section of an article).
If you are using a large number of data sources, it may be necessary to provide a list of the relevant data packages/files rather than citing each individually in the References. The list can then be submitted to Dryad so others who read your publication can locate all of the original data.
Data citations can be easily downloaded using the links at the bottom of the Citation Box on the data package page. Citation can currently be downloaded in two generic formats: RIS (compatible with software such as EndNote, Reference Manager, ProCite, and RefWorks) and BibTex (compatible with software such as LaTeX and BibDesk)
You may also use links in the Citation Box to bookmark or share a link to the data package on a variety of platforms (e.g. Delicious, Facebook, Twitter and Reddit).
A data package is the entire set of data files associated with one publication plus the metadata describing the combined set.
Journals may work with Dryad in a number of ways. First, a journal may have integrated its submission process with Dryad. The journal may choose a number of options, e.g. directing authors to submit data either before review or after acceptance and whether to allow data embargoes or not. Second, journals or their parent organizations may handle Data Publishing Charges on behalf of authors. Third, journals and their parent organizations may participate in Dryad's governance through Membership. To see what relationship, if any, your journal has to Dryad, please consult this Table. We welcome inquiries from journals not yet listed, and encourage authors to suggest Dryad as a data archiving service to their editors.
Each data package and data file in Dryad is assigned a Digital Object Identifier, or DOI, a permanent, globally unique, and resolvable identifier that is an important component of a data citation.
We recommend using the URL form of the DOI (e.g. "http://dx.doi.org/10.5061/dryad.6h722") whenever referencing a data package or data file.
The DOI for each data file is composed of the base DOI for the data package "http://dx.doi.org/10.5061/dryad.[NNNN]" with the version number appended as "/1″, "/2″, etc. When a new version of a data package or data file are released, the DOI is updated with the suffix ".2″, ".3", etc. Thus the third version of the second data file in the second version of a Dryad data package would have a DOI of the form http://dx.doi.org/10.5061/dryad.[NNNN].2/2.3. Note that the DOI without the version suffix will resolve to the most recent version, and the presence of older versions will be indicated.
Dryad DOIs are assigned through the EZID service from the California Digital Library and are registered by DataCite.
All data submitted to Dryad is released to the public domain under Creative Commons Zero (CC0), which reduces legal and technical impediments to the reuse of data by waiving copyright and related rights to the extent permitted by law. In most cases, CC0 does not actually affect the legal status of your data, since facts in and of themselves are not eligible for copyright in most countries (e.g. see this commentary from Bitlaw regarding U.S. copyright law).
CC0 does not exempt those who reuse the data from following community norms for scholarly communication, in particular from citation of the original data authors. On the contrary, by removing unenforceable legal barriers, CC0 facilitates the discovery, reuse, and citation of that data. Any publication that makes substantive reuse of the data is expected to cite both the data package and the original publication from which it was derived.
"Community norms can be a much more effective way of encouraging positive behaviour, such as citation, than applying licenses. A well functioning community supports its members in their application of norms, whereas licenses can only be enforced through court action and thus invite people to ignore them when they are confident that this is unlikely." (Panton Principles FAQ)
"…when you federate a query from 50,000 databases (not now, perhaps, but definitely within the 70-year duration of copyright!) will you be liable to a lawsuit if you don't formally attribute all 50,000 owners?" (Science Commons Database Protocol FAQ)
Similarly, we do not support the use of licenses that (questionably) assert copyright and add well-meaning, but potentially problematic, restrictions on reuse, such as "non-commercial", "no derivative" and "share-alike" conditions.
"... given the potential for significantly negative unintended consequences of using copyright, the size of the public domain, and the power of norms inside science, we believe that copyright licenses and contractual restrictions are simply the wrong tool [for data], even if those licenses and contracts are used with the best of intentions." (Science Commons Database Protocol FAQ)
Dryad's use of CC0 to make the terms of reuse explicit has some important advantages:
It is important to note that if you have data that, due to pre-existing agreements, cannot be released under the terms of CC0, please do not submit that data to Dryad. Journals that require data archiving as a condition of publication can make exceptions for such special cases.
Yes, we encourage researchers to include Dryad as part of their data management plan when applying for grants or developing a data management strategy for their institution. Data submitted to Dryad can help researchers meet expectations (e.g. for funders in the US and UK) that data be archived for long-term preservation, available for reuse at no cost and with open, explicit terms of reuse. We recommend consulting an online data management planning tool such as DMPTool or DMPOnline.
