Courtesy of MommyParties, I was able to recently host a Hexbug Nano Zombie party to showcase some of the new addtions to the Hexbug family. Guests at the party were presented with Limited Edition HEXBUG Nano Halloween Zombie Bugs, Glow in the Dark HEXBUG Nano Galileo Collection Bugs, Glow in the Dark HEXBUG Nano Habitat sets, three HEXBUG Larva, and additional batteries. It was a package full of goodies for a ghoulishly good time.
Just in time for Halloween, the HEXBUG Nano Halloween Zombie Bugs are encased in a black or orange coffin and have a glow-in-the-dark exoskeleton. They are available at RadioShack stores nationwide. The Glow in the Dark HEXBUG Nano Galileo Collection bugs come packaged individually in a tube and they glow in the dark. The HEXBUG Larva are robotic creatures that are bigger in size than the Nanos and they resemble actual larva. The HEXBUG Larva has a built-in sensor that reacts to its environment, changing direction upon sensing an objects in its path. The Glows in the Dark HEXBUG Nano Habitat Set and Elevation Habitat Set allows you to create a variety of customizable playgrounds. Both sets glow in the dark and require snap-on assembly. Included with the sets are one or two HEXBUG Nanos.
In my opinion, the Nano Halloween Zombie bugs would make a fun addition for trick-or-treaters or a Halloween party. The coffin packaging on the Nano give it the ultimate Halloween aura. The other HEXBUG Nanos and Habitat Sets are ideal for any time of the year.
The kids had a hard time breaking the seals of the tubes that the Nanos were packaged in, so adult help was needed. Once opened, the kids had a heyday playing with their robotic bugs. For such tiny things, they provide lots of entertainment. Included with each HEXBUG is a code to register online to play games and learn about science. It was emphasized to the children about the codes because I can see how the paper might be interpreted to be trash and thrown away. The exoskeleton on the Zombie bugs can be removed so the option of not having them glow in the dark is available. All of the bugs skitter or wriggle around, giving the impression of real bug movement. Parents and kids alike had a great time at the party and raved about the HEXBUG Nanos and Habitat Sets. A few parents even approached me asking where they can be purchased so they can gift their children with more.
As I mentioned above, Hexbug Nanos have habitat sets that the robotic bugs can be played on for added fun. The Glows in the Dark HEXBUG Nano Habitat Sets include ten connectible pieces and two extremely rare HEXBUG Nano mutations. The Glows in the Dark HEXBUG Nano Elevation Habitat Set includes 52 pieces for a multi-level spiral ramp that rises two levels up. It also includes two rare HEXBUG Nanos. Although I'm sure that younger children would probably need help putting it together, my 13 year old son was able to assemble it all by himself. With the habitat sets, kids can place their Nanos in it to watch them scurry around and spiral down the ramp. Orange tabs are on each Habitat Cell so they can be closed to keep the Nanos from getting out or be opened to attach other pieces.
Since its introduction, HEXBUG has brought my boys much entertainment. The friends who attended the party were very excited about the HEXBUG Nanos and Habitat Sets too. Although the appeal is mainly towards boys, there were a couple of girls at the party who had just as much fun with HEXBUG. There wasn't one set favorite among the group. The general concensus was that everything was lots of fun.

Report: Audi U.S. sales suffering due to supply shortage
by Chris Shunk (RSS feed) on Apr 12th, 2010 at 11:19AM
There are good problems and there are bad problems. Audi dealers across the U.S. are having trouble selling vehicles, but not because of uncompetitive product or industry-wide sales woes. Automotive News reports the reason for Audi's sales troubles have everything to do with a supply shortage that stems from strong first quarter sales. Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen reportedly told AN that U.S. dealers are "short of everything," with Q5 and Q7 supplies running especially low. Last year, Audi cut U.S. deliveries by 6,000 units due to weak sales here in the States, but the... Read More

The Albany County Sheriff's Department has identified the victim of a fatal hit and run in Albany. It happened early Saturday morning and police are calling the incident unlike anything they've ever seen. Our Madeleine Rivera reports.
CAPITAL REGION, N.Y. -- A few police barricades are the only signs of a deadly hit and run that happened early Saturday morning in this neighborhood.
"He hit the bicyclist head on, threw the bike, bike went flying to the side of the road," said Sheriff Craig Apple of the Albany County Police Department.
Pablo Cruz, a Schenectady resident and according to police, a recent parolee, was speeding away from an Albany County Sheriff's Deputy when he hit Paul Merges Jr., 45, who was riding along Manning Boulevard. But the impact didn't stop Cruz, who kept driving, even with Merges pinned to the truck's ladder rack. "We don't want to get engaged in a high speed chase. But due to the nature of a human being hanging from the vehicle, we felt it was necessary to pursue the vehicle," said Apple.
The chase finally came to a full stop on Curry Road in Rotterdam after the truck's engine died.
"It seemed like something a little bit more than just a car accident. But we certainly weren't going to come outside and see at that point," said Karen Walker, a Rotterdam resident.
Those who did get a look at the scene say it's like nothing they've ever seen before.
"This is a bizarre. You think you've seen it all. Then something new comes up," said Apple.
"Scary knowing that something like that takes place. And then, you know, right in front of your house in Rotterdam. You don't hear that kind of stuff around here very often," said Walker.
We've spoken to some of Mergers' family members who were very emotional and didn't want to talk on camera. He leaves behind two children. Mergers worked at the New York State Department of Tax and Finance.
Pablo Cruz is facing multiple charges including manslaughter, DWI, violation of parole. He was released from state prison on November 2nd.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - The new Grand Valley Trail Alliance aims to bring diverse trail users together to further the common goal of creating and maintaining public trails in the valley and surrounding area.
Mountain bikers, motorized vehicle users, hikers, and horseback riders, as well as Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service representatives, and city and county officials - about 100 people altogether - met last week at the Colorado Mesa University Ballroom for a GVTA open house to learn how all user groups could work together for the sake of trails.
The trail alliance, ranging from the motorized vehicle group Responsible Recreation Foundation to the Grand Valley Quiet Trail Users, will share their individual expertise, and together will have more leverage in attracting larger grants for building and maintaining trails, said GVTA coordinator David Grossman.
Part of Grossman's job will be to catalog in a database all trail systems in the Grand Valley and surrounding region - including city, Forest Service, BLM, Park Service lands.
"It will be a resource for the community to understand what we have," Grossman said.
The BLM formed the trail alliance in January to serve as an umbrella group organization for all the different users, including Western Slope ATV, COPMOBA (Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trails Association), Jeep clubs, horseback riders and hikers, said Michelle Bailey, BLM assistant field manager.
"They were all working independently for the same goal," Bailey said. "This organization (GVTA) will get all those groups together so they can work amongst themselves.
"Each organization has organizational strengths, a volunteer base and knowledge of valley resources. If they all get together to share there will be more opportunities for grant funds," she said.
With budget cuts and limited staff, the BLM was struggling to keep up with the volume of trail proposals and maintenance requests.
"We see it as an opportunity to build relationships and great trails," Grossman said.
Grossman will help manage the trail proposal process, and in some cases combine requests. The trail alliance will also educate trail user groups regarding trails and writing effective proposals.
The initial stakeholders in the GVTA are COPMOBA and the Responsible Recreation Foundation, who are working together with the BLM Grand Junction Field Office under an assistance agreement.
Trail construction, including design and maintenance, can cost $3,000 to $5,000 a mile, Bailey said.
"With such a diversity of trails, trail uses, and agencies overseeing trail management, the Grand Valley would benefit from a more unified, valleywide coordination of trail management," Bailey said.
For any new trails, the BLM would perform the environmental assessments in-house, she said.
"People come here from all over the world for trails," Bailey said. "The social and economic benefit to our community is amazing and far outweighs the cost.
"As we grow that community asset, we need to maintain it."

Rated 5 out of 5 by PopTotMom L-O-V-E I bought this because it was so cute online, but it has ended up being one of our favorite and most used pieces in my baby's room. It puts out just the right amount of light without being distracting while he sleeps. We bought the blue but I just love all the other colors it comes in. Its perfect for a modern and fun nursery October 5, 2009
Rated 4 out of 5 by MamaBean gorgeous! This was a splurge that we registered for and a good friend got for us - we're so grateful! It's lovely. I would have given it 5 stars, but I do wish that it rotated (so the lights moved around on the walls) and that it seemed a little sturdier and less likely to get knocked off it's base. (I'm worried it will break.) March 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michaella81 Beautiful I got this nightlight as a present which I am very thankful for because it is pretty pricey. Nevertheless it is what I expected it to be and more! It is beautiful and well made and even though the ceramic egg gets hot by the morning, I am amazed that the bulb is still going strong considering that it stays on for 10 to 11 hours in a row. September 15, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by CatherineJudson Perfect amount of light for Baby-Toddler Room We purchased this beautiful light for the nursery! It creates a also magical refection of summer nights with a clear sky-full of stars. Our baby Bella loves the light as much as we do!!! October 5, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by lovegiggle beautiful night light This night light is a beautiful addition to any nursery. My only complaint is the ceramic does get hot after being on all night long, so you'd want to keep it away from little fingers, but it's a perfect amount of light to peak in on the little one in the middle of the night. May 28, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by NewYorkMom Great gift We received this as a gift and love it. It is a stylish and sophisticated addition to the nursery. It looks great on the bookshelf during the day and adds just the right amount of light at night. The lights shine through small holes which give a beautiful starry effect. A special addition to the nursery. May 27, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by usqmom Adorable room accent This is a really cute room accent that kids will love too - the tiny hole project little beams of light onto the walls and ceiling, creating great fun for kids at bedtime.... May 27, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by snowbunny Enchanting and Stylish I have this light on a shelf in my son's nursery. It projects small "squiggles" of light on the walls and ceiling, creating a starry, enchanting effect. The effect is lovely, but be warned that this is not a lamp - it does not provide a huge amount of light. In order for the individual rays of light to be seen on the walls and ceiling, the light must be fairly near the wall (it seems to work best at a range of about 3 feet). We have the aqua color, and the color was very true to the color in the picuture. It came with the proper lightbulb, which is a type that is easy to replace. We have received many compliments on this light. May 27, 2009

Comments about SPYDER Trucker 3-in-1 Jacket:
I really like this jacket. Bought it on sale right before a ski trip and it kept me warm the whole time. I like all the pockets (especially the inner goggle pocket.) Also should note it is one of the coldest winter here in the east coast and many other areas in the US (many days in the single digits, teens, and 20's f) and the jacket has kept me warm. I got the blue and really like the color. Sometimes the fact it is 2 jackets in one is annoying, but you know that when you buy it.

American Eve Evelyn Nesbit, Stanford White, the Birth of the IT Girl, and the Crime of the Century (Paperback) Book
Sale Price: $17.00
To Order by Phone Call 1-800-933-6249
The scandalous story of America's first supermodel, sex goddess, and modern celebrity, Evelyn Nesbit, the temptress at the center of Stanford White's famous murder, whose iconic life story reflected all the paradoxes of America's Gilded Age.
Known to millions before her sixteenth birthday in 1900, Evelyn Nesbit was the most photographed woman of her era, an iconic figure who set the standard for female beauty. Women wanted to be her. Men just wanted her. When her life of fantasy became all too real, and her jealous millionaire husband, Harry K. Thaw, killed her lovercelebrity architect Stanford White, builder of the Washington Square Arch and much of New York Cityshe found herself at the center of the "Crime of the Century" and the popular courtroom drama that followeda scandal that signaled the beginning of a national obsession with youth, beauty, celebrity, and sex.
The story of Evelyn Nesbit is one of glamour, money, romance, sex, madness, and murder, and Paula Uruburu weaves all of these elements into an elegant narrative that reads like the best fiction only it's all true. American Eve goes far beyond just literary biography; it paints a picture of America as it crossed from the Victorian era into the modern, foreshadowing so much of our contemporary culture today.

Here's the complete story of the original "pony car" and the automotive stampede it started.
It was the car that Americans said they wanted. In extensive Gallup polls conducted by Ford, people were asked what they desired in a car. Ford took the answers and made the Mustang.
The response was phenomenal, and the 1964 Mustang created a buzz similar to the frenzy surrounding the Beatles! People just had to have this car, and not just adults-in the 1964 holiday season over 93,000 pedal powered Mustangs were snapped up for kids nationwide! From the first surveys and the initial prototype to the smashingly successful release, this is the story of the original "pony car." See how Lee Iacocca made his reputation with the Mustang, and meet the men who created it. Watch the original ads that launched a phenomenon, and trace its remarkable sales story-the one millionth Mustang trotted off the assembly line only three years after the first!
It's the riveting tale of one of the most famous and popular cars of all time.

Alumni Return to Alma Mater for Reunion Weekend
1953, 1963 and 1973 Classes Honored
June 10, 2013
Looking through their WC yearbooks renewed memories for members of the 40-year reunion Class of 1973 at Friday evening's welcome reception hosted by President Jim and Sue Reynolds.
Scores of Wilmington College alumni relived their college glory days while reconnecting with former classmates, favorite professors and their campus during WC's annual Alumni Reunion Weekend June 7 and 8.
For early arrivers, President Jim and Sue Reynolds hosted a welcome reception Friday evening at Firbank Fell, the president's home on the perimeter of campus.
Activities started early Saturday when, after a continental breakfast, the popular Alumni College program got underway.
Alumni heard a spry 91-year-old Larry Gara, emeritus professor of history, share his affinity for classic jazz while Jim Boland, professor of education, spoke of his work in combatting bullying and making schools a safer and more productive environment for student learning.
Martin Giesbrecht, a member of the economics faculty from 1958 to 1987, presented on the economic history of food. Also, Gloria Flaherty, emeritus professor of education, and Michele Beery, professor of education, presented on education-related issues.
In addition, Monte Anderson, professor of agriculture, gave an update on his area, which now constitutes the largest academic major at WC, answered horticultural questions and led alumni in putting together planters of annual flowers to take home.
The College sponsored special reunions for the classes of 1953, 1963 and 1973 and it honored three alumni with special awards.
Robert Russo, Class of 1978, received the Distinguished Alumni Citation for Professional Achievement as a result of his 35 years of coaching success in three NCAA divisions. Michael Birkel '76, an accomplished author and a professor of religion at Earlham College, and Steve F. Haines '73, retired local educator and retired founding director of College-Community Summer Theatre, each received Distinguished Alumni Citations for Professional Achievement in Education.
(LEFT) President Jim Reynolds presents Steven F. Haines '73 with a Distinguished Alumni Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Education award.
The newly inaugurated president noted highlights from an "exciting year" that included the College receiving a $20 million low-interest loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's rural economic development program that will "kick-start" a number of campus projects, some of which are buildings.
"By this time next year, I hope you'll see a lot of new things on your campus," he said.
Reynolds said the College anticipates its 18th consecutive balanced budget when the fiscal year ends June 30. Also, the College is undergoing a branding initiative that will fine-tune its marketing messages and, this fall, the Higher Learning Commission will hold a campus site visit as WC endeavors to successfully complete its periodic continuing accreditation process.
He also announced a new initiative that may be known as the Wilmington Institute for Sustainable Engagement, which will be a certificate program in which students will have "intentional encounters" in service and leadership that incorporate a rich experience with some of Wilmington's distinct offerings.
"We care deeply about what we do for students — that hasn't changed since you were here," Reynolds said. "We love having our alumni and friends on campus at gatherings like this. We want you to come home often."
(RIGHT) Beth Copeland McDonald '73 enjoys renewing ties with a favorite professor, T. Canby Jones, emeritus professor of religion & philosophy.
The weekend culminated with Saturday's reunion banquet at which members of the 50-year class, 1963, received their Quaker Emeriti medallions.
As Reynolds took the class on a trip down memory lane, he hearkened its senior year, 1962-63, that featured the unnerving Cuban Missile Crisis, James Meredith requiring the assistance of federal troops to enroll at Ole Miss, and bread and gasoline costing 22 and 29 cents, respectively.
(LEFT) Philip Bayless, emeritus professor of chemistry, presents the Quaker Emeriti Medallion,which signifies 50 years since one's graduation from WC, to Sherron Fox Collins.
At WC, the College enjoyed an all-time high enrollment of 780 students, 25 percent of whom worked at the Randall Company to finance their education. Larry Gara was one of 10 new faculty members. Tuition, room and board cost $750 for the school year and, in June 1963, some 150 graduates heard James J. Nance, chair, Central National Bank of Cleveland, offer the commencement address.
"A big part of who we are is who you are because of the indelible impression you left here," Reynolds told the 50-year reunion class. "You've been graduates now for 50 years and we're grateful for your gifts back to Wilmington College of your time, talents and treasure."

This is quite a large box, so be sure you check the dimensions. There are no directions with it, so difficult to determine exactly how to use the different features. Quality of the box and the winder are great.
The watch winder looked as if it had previously been used. It would work only if there was not a watch placed in the watch winder, which defeats the purpose of the watch winder.
This product was delivered promptly withinh a few days of ordering it. It was in perfect condition. The only problem was the large size of the product but that may be my fault for not checking this properly.
Looks great, but it doesn't actually wind watches. I have a watch with a power reserve meter. When I put it in this "watch winder", it literally didn't do anything. It didn't even slow down the rate at which the power ran out of the watch. Completely worthless.It took me almost a month to realize it, but I am returning it as we speak.
Great product. Easy to use. Just place your watches in the rewinder, plug it in and watch it go to work. Definitely would buy another one! Very nice!!

NCLB Update (http://www.nochildleftbehind.gov/)
This week, President Bush and Secretary Paige traveled south to highlight provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act. At Nashville's Kirkpatrick Elementary School, the focus was on supplemental educational servicesafter-school tutoring and other educational enrichment programs that children from low-income families can receive if they attend schools that are identified as needing improvement. "We have come from a really interesting little laboratory of excellence that Principal Kim Fowler set up, where three different providers were tutoring children," the President explained. "It gave me a chance to see that this school and this school district have not only reached out to parents but have also reached out to educational providers and said 'we want to enlist your services to make sure no child is left behind.'" Parents of eligible children in Nashville can select from 12 different providers during the 2003-04 school year. Across the nation, state-approved providers include private companies (795), local education agencies and schools (401), and colleges and universities (32). For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/
2003/09/09082003.html. (Bush's remarks are available http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/
09/20030908-2.html, and final SES guidance is posted at http://www.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/suppsvcsguid.doc.)
At Jacksonville's Hyde Park Elementary School, the focus was on empowering parents and teachers with information. "Testing and report cards provide the information that allows us to diagnose a problem, so we can work together to fix it," the Secretary said. "For too long, we've been in the dark when it comes to solving our education challenges." In support, the President announced a new, web-based tool to assist states and schools with the basic data analysis and reporting requirements of No Child Left Behind. Created by a partnership of the Education Department, the Broad Foundation, the National Center for Education Accountability, and Standard & Poor's School Evaluation Services, parents, teachers, and policymakers will be able to visit a web site to search, sort, and compare school performance trends. Ten states will be invited to have their data analyzed for January 2004. As promised, the President also unveiled a Toolkit for Teachers (http://www.ed.gov/
teachers/nclbguide/nclb-teachers-toolkit.pdf), with accurate information about the federal law. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2003/09/09092003.html. (Bush's remarks are available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/
releases/2003/09/20030909-3.html, and final report card guidance will be posted at http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oese/legislation.html.)
Special Education Report
According to the Department's 24th annual report to Congress on the condition of special education, which has become a benchmark in conveying the progress being made in serving America's 6.5 million children with disabilities, children who receive early intervention services show significant developmental progress a year later, and families report increased confidence in their ability to deal with their child. The report, "To Assure the Free Appropriate Public Education of All Children with Disabilities," cites several sources, including the Department's ongoing National Early Intervention Longitudinal Study (NEILS). NEILS tracks 3,338 infants and toddlers with disabilities who received early intervention services. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/about/reports/annual/osep/2002/.
Note: Between 1995-96 and 1999-2000, the high school graduation rate for students with disabilities increased from 52.6 to 56.2 percent, and the percentage of students dropping out declined from 34.1 to 29.4 percent.
Grant Awards
Secretary Paige has awarded more than $21 million in grants to Alaska, Arizona, Iowa, Kansas, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina to help strengthen their charter school programs. The Department's Charter School Program, authorized in 1994, provides support for the planning, program design, and initial implementation of charter schools, as well as the sharing of best practices. This fall, more than 3,000 charter schools will serve an estimated 750,000 students; two-thirds have waiting lists. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/programs/charter/. (Non-regulatory guidance on the Charter School Program, detailed in the previous issue, is now available at http://www.ed.gov/programs/charter/legislation.html.)
Flawed Civics
A new report spanning the ideological spectrum, "Education for Democracy," (http://www.shankerinstitute.org/downloads/efd%2Drelease.html) contends public schools offer students plenty about America's failings but not enough about its freedoms and values. In turn, the report warns that without a change of approach schools will continue to turn out large numbers of students who are disengaged in society and unappreciative of democracy. Specifically, it calls for a stronger social studies and history curricula, starting in elementary school and continuing through every year of schooling. It also suggests a bigger push for morality in education lessons. Meanwhile, the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation recently released two studies aimed at revitalizing social studies: "Terrorists, Despots, and Democracy: What Our Children Need to Know" (posted at http://www.edexcellence.net/socialstudies/Democracy/
Democracy.html) and "Where Did Social Studies Go Wrong?" (posted at http://www.edexcellence.net/socialstudies/
Contrarians/WhereDidSocialStudiesGoWrong.html). Want to know more? On September 16, the American Enterprise Institute is hosting a forum titled "Social Studies and the Battle for America's Soul." Register at http://www.aei.org/events/type.upcoming,
Assistant Secretary
President Bush intends to nominate Susan Sclafani to be Assistant Secretary for Vocational and Adult Education. She currently serves as counselor to the Secretary, advising him on all education issues and initiatives. Previously, she was Chief of Staff for Educational Services in the Houston Independent School District. In that position, she represented the superintendent on education issues and coordinated activities of the departments directly involved in the education of children, including community and public relations, educational programs, legal services, school administration, and reading. Dr. Sclafani received her A.B. from Vassar College, her M.A. in Germanic Languages and Literature from the University of Chicago, and her M.Ed. and Ph.D. in Ed. Administration from the University of Texas-Austin. The Office of Vocational and Adult Education has three priorities: to prepare every American youth to complete high school and be well-prepared for postsecondary education and employment; support community colleges in their mission of education, career preparation, and economic development; and expand adult learning to bring higher levels of literacy and English fluency to Americans.

Quote to Note
"When you really think about it, a second aspect of the security of America is to make sure every child is educated.... A hopeful America is an America in which each child can read and write and add and subtract. A hopeful America is where children say, 'I'm going to get an education early, and I'm going to go to college.' A hopeful America is where people can dream and realize their dreams because the education system is fulfilling its promise. America's past has been defined by a public school system that has met the needs of a complex society. This No Child Left Behind Act, the good work of our principals and teachers, and the cooperation and hard work of governors will mean that the public school system, in the future, will meet the needs of a complex society."
President George W. Bush (9/9/03)

- Military historians and experts detail the advances that made Civil War weaponry so deadly.
- Visit private collections and important museums for an up-close look at surviving examples.
America protects its homeland with the most technologically advanced military force ever conceived. Although they fight 21st-century battles worldwide, the technology unleashed is directly descended from a war fought more than 140 years ago.
The War between North and South introduced technology that was a quantum leap beyond that used in any previous conflict. The machine gun, aerial reconnaissance, advanced battlefield medicine, instantaneous communication, ironclad ships and even the first aircraft carrier all debuted during the Civil War. CIVIL WAR TECH investigates improvements in weapons, sea power, transportation, troop conveyance, food processing, medical care, and telecommunications. At a time when the nation was divided, Civil War technology revolutionized the way war was waged. Today, those technological milestones have evolved to ensure that our modern military has no equal in the world.

Put Your Fresh Face Forward
Buff up cellular renewal and keep your face fresh with these at-home treatments. Jazzercise Founder and CEO Judi Sheppard Missett recommends choosing products that are right for your skin type.
The foundation of a healthy complexion is clean skin. Wash your face twice a day, especially after workouts. Apply warm water and a gentle cleanser with your hands, since abrasive washcloths can irritate your skin. Always rinse well and pat your skin dry with a soft towel.
"Your skin can't be hydrated, or moisturized, if you have a layer of dead cells," says Lisabeth Fletcher, owner of Paradise Beauty Salon & Spa in Kauai, HI. Fletcher recommends exfoliates that are left on the skin. "They're like little Pac men that eat the dead skin, and they are great for anti-aging."
Moisturizers enable your skin to stay moist and supple. They also provide a protective barrier that blocks water from evaporating during exercise or exposure to the elements. Apply a moisturizer after washing your face. Drinking water also helps keep your skin hydrated.
"Being in the sun causes pigmentation, and age spots," Fletcher says. "You can spend hundreds of dollars to lighten it, but if you don't wear SPF, there's no point." Wear big-brimmed hats and sunscreen when you're at the beach or outdoors, and a minimum SPF 15 everyday. Look for foundations with SPF built into them.
Keep your skin fit and healthy with these at-home treatments. You'll save money and have a glowing complexion.
Judi Sheppard Missett, who turned her love of jazz dance into a worldwide dance exercise phenomenon, founded the Jazzercise dance fitness program in 1969. She has advanced the business opportunities of women and men in the fitness industry by growing the program into an international franchise business that today, hosts a network of 7,800 instructors teaching more than 32,000 classes weekly in 32 countries.
The workout program, which offers a fusion of jazz dance, resistance training, Pilates, yoga, cardio box and Latin style movements, has positively affected millions of people worldwide. Benefits include increased cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility, as well as an overall "feel good" factor. Additional Jazzercise programs include Junior Jazzercise, Jazzercise Lite and Personal Touch. For more information on Jazzercise go to jazzercise.com or call (800)FIT-IS-IT or (760)476-1750.

Although he believes both drivers deserve the title, Bernie Ecclestone's money is on Sebastian Vettel to beat Fernando Alonso.
The duo head into Sunday's title showdown in Brazil with Vettel holding a 13-point advantage over the Ferrari driver.
That means all he needs to do is finish fourth or higher and will become Formula One's youngest triple World Champion.
"I'd say Sebastian," was Ecclestone's response when asked by SID who he would put his money on.
But while the F1 supremo believes Vettel will win the title, he reckons both drivers are worthy Champions.
"Sebastian on the basis of his results but Fernando hasn't had the best car for the majority of the time, that's why he deserves it too."

Peace Through World Creation
I might be running Traveller next, but that doesn't mean I'm still not working on my Middle Isles campaign. I find working on it over at Obsidian Portal sort of helps tune out the nastiness, and lets me reconnect with the creative side of the hobby. Plus, it's nice having a project to work on at my leisure, with no sort of definitive deadline.
Speaking of creative stuff, for the next ish of Fight On! I'm working on a town layout, suitable for drop-in to an existing campaign. If you'd like to see anything particular on that account, let me know!

The recent, constant nastiness over one thing or another is honestly making me skip more and more blogs on my blog roll, and if things don't get better but quick, blogs are going to be coming off my blog roll.
(Not you, of course. Your blog is sweetness and light and all that.)

Eh, there's just been a lot of back-and-forth recently on a lot of topics. People read blogs in large part because they aren't the crazed flame wars or passive-aggressive sniping of many RPG forums. I'd hate to lose that.
It's Sunday...we should all be quietly painting minis, designing RPG stuff, or watching Hawk The Slayer in between checking on NCAA tourney scores. :)

Sean: I was suffering in ignorance until this morning. Ironically, I spent yesterday during world-building over on my Obsidian Portal site, and I'll be doing more of that today as I try to bleach my brain of all the recent nastiness and foolishness.
Honestly, these teacup tempests and self-appointed crusades sometimes make me want to ditch the Internet altogether (gaming-wise, at least).
Ah, that feels better. Now I can concentrate on blogging about things that actually matter...

Speaking as a guy who reads a lot of blogs (most dedicated to old school gaming, but a few dedicated to more modern games and other tangentially related subjects that interest me), I'm just going to throw this observation out to the whole blogging community:
Lately, there only seems to be a blog by a guy who games with porn stars, and blogs telling me about a blog by a guy who games with porn stars.
The novelty of the thing has run its course. It's time to move on.
Just saying. :)

Nice wiki. How are you like Obsidian Portal? I have been using a Yahoo Group (actually three different yahoo groups for the three different gaming groups). But I keep finding myself drawn to Obsidian Portal.
It seemed like there was peace in the valley for quite awhile before this most recent bout of nastiness. I had no idea what it was about until this afternoon. Much of it still doesn't make sense. There is a lot to be said for building and then living in your own Private Idaho.

Two CPS vendors too big to ban for ethical lapses, inspector general says
By Lauren FitzPatrick Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com January 7, 2013 3:36PM
Updated: February 9, 2013 6:14AM
Two of Chicago Public Schools' largest vendors investigated by the inspector general for significant ethical lapses may be too large to ban from district business — and still CPS fails to even monitor them adequately, the schools' watchdog said in an annual report released Monday.
Removing the giant vendors for wining and dining employees and providing other perks for preferential treatment "would critically affect the ability of CPS to provide necessary services at market prices," according to the report written by Inspector General James M. Sullivan.
The vendors — Chartwells-Thompson Hospitality and Preferred Meals Systems — handle about $77 million in CPS food service, and "not many other entities can handle that scale," Sullivan said by telephone Monday.
Despite his recommendations that CPS appoint a monitor over such large vendors, "that recommendation has fallen on deaf ears," the report reads.
Fraud also continues to plague the lunch program intended for poor children. More than 50 CPS employees have been caught enrolling their own children for free or reduced-price lunches over the last four years.
"The cases reported this year are especially important because the results show that fraud is being committed by high-level and highly-paid CPS administrators, and that the lucrative state and federal benefits tied to the forms drives the fraud," Sullivan wrote. "Cumulatively, the issues the [inspector general] has reported on suggest wide-spread, systematic fraud."
The nation's third-largest school district is staring down a $1 billion deficit by summer.
CPS spokeswoman Marielle Sainvilus said in an email that CPS "has considered the OIG's recommendations and is in discussions on the matter."
"Following a complete investigation, we took immediate action on CPS employees who were involved in wrongdoing and they are no longer working with the District. Chartwells and Preferred pursued similar forms of discipline with their employees," she said.
Sullivan said his office was able to investigate just 27.5 percent of the 1,651 complaints it received in fiscal year 2012, according to the report, creating "a substantial risk that waste fraud, financial mismanagement and employee misconduct go undetected."
Residency complaints accounted for the greatest percentage of tips to the IG, followed by inattention to duty and on-duty criminal conduct.
Several students attending CPS' competitive selective-enrollment schools were found to live in suburbs, including children of CPS staffers. The inspector general is seeking to recover $477,000 from out-of-bounds students.
Most of the staff residency cases involved CPS employees found to be living in the south suburbs.
A high-level leader from the central office was fired for living in Matteson. A high school engineer living in Hometown was fired after he was found visiting an Indiana casino and drinking beer during the workday. A high school assistant principal not only lied about living in Richton Park but also falsified free and reduced lunch applications for her daughter, an investigation found. She's suspended with pay, according to the report.
And two teachers, husband and wife, were busted for living in a Tinley Park home they had owned since 2006. Though the IG recommended firing them, warnings were issued instead.
A central office employee living in Midlothian enrolled his child in CPS for three years and owes about $30,000 in tuition, according to CPS.

Lessons and Signs of Hope Amidst the Carnage in Libya
The civil insurrection in Libya has been far more violent, and forces loyal to the dictator far more violent still, than the recent successful unarmed revolutions against the dictatorships in neighboring Tunisia and Egypt. Still, there are signs of hope and important lessons to be learned in the ongoing struggle against the 42-year regime of Muammar Gaddafi, whose days appear to be numbered.
Gaddafi's leadership style has always been repressive, impulsive, and unpredictable. Yet his nationalism, anti-imperialism, and professed socialism led many educated Libyans who formed the backbone of the government to stay loyal despite their misgivings, in large part in reaction to what was seen as punitive and hypocritical sanctions imposed by Western nations and the constant threat of renewed U.S. air and missile strikes against the country, as took place back in the 1980s. It was only when the sanctions and the threats of war subsided back in 2004 that there began to be a dramatic increase in resignations and defections by prominent Libyans who had been members and supporters of the government. In short, the U.S.-led efforts to isolate, punish, and threaten the regime likely contributed to Gaddafi's longevity as dictator. Once relations were normalized and the isolation and threats subsided, Gaddafi was seen less as a strong leader defending his nation against Western imperialism and more as the mercurial and brutal tyrant that he is.
As of this writing, virtually all of the cities in the eastern half of the country and a number of cities elsewhere have been liberated by pro-democracy forces, which launched their rebellion just a few weeks ago and are now clashing with security forces in Tripoli, Libya's capital. In these liberated cities, popular democratic committees have been set up to serve as interim local governments. For example, Benghazi—a city of over a million people—is now being run by a improvised organizing committee of judges, lawyers, and other professionals who have been largely successful at restoring order to the country's second largest city, dispatching young people to coordinate traffic at intersections and assist in other basic services.
There have been resignations of cabinet members and other important aides of Gaddafi, Libyan ambassadors in foreign capitals, and top military officers, many of whom have actively joined the opposition. Pilots have deliberately crashed their planes, flown into exile, or otherwise refused orders to bomb and strafe protesters. Thousands of soldiers have defected or refused to fire on crowds, despite threats of execution. This has forced Gaddafi to rely on African mercenaries, which has only further angered the population against a dictator willing to bring in foreigners to murder his own citizens.
Libya and Beyond: What's Next for Democracy?
Phyllis Bennis on why Libya differs from other pro-democracy uprisings in the region.
These serious challenges to Gaddafi's power comes despite the fact that, compared with the recent successful civil insurrections against dictators in Tunisia and Egypt, the challenges faced by the pro-democracy forces in Libya have been far greater. Under the recently-overthrown dictators, the Egyptian and Tunisian regimes routinely rigged elections and marginalized opposition parties, but at least there were elections and opposition parties. Not in Libya, however. Similarly, Egypt and Tunisia had trade unions, popular organizations, and active civil society groups whose activities were severely restricted and at times brutally suppressed, but at least they existed. Again, not in Libya.
Despite all this, pro-democracy forces are on the offensive, demonstrating that if enough people are willing to risk everything for their freedom, the regime has few options left but brute force—exactly what Gaddafi has been turning to. However, the use of such extraordinary violence usually ends up backfiring in favor of the opposition, which is exactly what appears to be happening in Libya.
Gaddafi joined the Libyan armed forces as a young man, not because of an interest in a military career per se, but because he wanted to become the country's ruler. In the Middle East in those days, if you weren't part of a royal family, the key to political power was through the military. What Tunisia and Egypt have demonstrated, however—along with other successful nonviolent civil insurrections from the Philippines to Poland and from Chile to Serbia—is that political power ultimately comes from the acquiescence of the people. And if a people no longer recognize the leader's authority and refuse to obey the leader's orders, he will no longer be the leader. This is the kind of power the United States and other Western nations must recognize: for democracy to come to the Middle East, it must come from the people themselves.
Stephen Zunes wrote this article for YES! Magazine, a national, nonprofit media organization that fuses powerful ideas with practical actions. Stephen is a professor of Politics and chair of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of San Francisco. He chairs the academic advisory committee for the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict and is the author of Nonviolent Social Movements and Tinderbox: U.S. Middle East Policy and the Roots of Terrorism.
