(Administered by the Department of Logistics, Operations and Management Information Systems)
Richard Poist, Chair of Department
For undergraduate curriculum in business, major in management information systems, (MIS) see College of Business, Curricula.
The MIS Program is designed to provide students with a strong educational foundation that prepares them as information system (IS) professionals. The academic program consists of a specially designed curriculum that emphasizes conceptual, analytical, technical and interpersonal skills. The major offers students comprehensive training in the application, use and management of information systems to prepare them to provide effective information services and support to organizations. The coursework is designed to provide the technical and conceptual skills associated with the use of information technology in business organizations. The program will: impart knowledge on existing and emerging information technologies and their impact on the IS function; train to critically analyze business processes, identify inefficiencies and problems, assess information requirements, create business solutions and technical specifications for the supporting system; provide expertise to design and develop database applications using the latest database technologies; provide expertise in the latest telecommunication technologies; train in interpersonal and communication skills to effectively interact with various information systems' clients; and provide managerial skills to manage IS projects.
The MIS major requires students to take seven courses. The required courses are: MIS 331, 432, 433, 435, and 438. In addition they will take two courses from an approved list. These courses are designed to provide the conceptual, technical, and managerial skills necessary to design and develop systems in organizations
The department also offers a minor for non-Management information Systems majors in the College of Business. The minor requires 15 credits from an approved list of courses, of which 9 credits must stand alone. The 15 credits must include either MIS 423 or 433. Students with declared majors have priority over students with declared minors in courses with space constraints.
The MIS area participates in four graduate programs in the College of Business M.S. in Business, MSIS, full-time and part-time M.B.A. programs and Ph.D. in Business and Technology. The M.S. program is a 30-credit curriculum with a thesis. The Management of Information Technology specialization in the Ph.D. program is a 56-credit curriculum with a 12-credit dissertation.
The MIS area also participates in an interdepartmental MS program in Information Assurance, as well as in a Masters and Ph.D. program in Human Computer Interaction. Students in any of these programs can be enrolled through the College of Business.
The M.B.A. program is a 48-credit curriculum. Twenty-four of the 48 credits are core business courses and the remaining 24 credits are graduate electives. Students can obtain a MIS specialization in the M.B.A. program by taking 12 credits of graduate MIS courses from a selected list of courses.
The masters of science in information systems (MSIS) is a 32 credit (minimum) curriculum designed around three inter-related areas - Foundation, IS core, and electives. All students are expected to be familiar with basic computing skills before they enter the program. The MSIS will educate students on applying IS theory and concepts to modern IS development through classes that enable them to learn and use the latest software in application projects. Students graduating from the program will have advanced technical and managerial skills to develop and manage information systems projects.
The Ph.D. in Business and Technology with a MIT specialization is a 56 credit (minimum) curriculum designed around four inter-related areas Core, MIT specialization, Minor, and Research Methods and dissertation. The MIT area examines issues related to the development, building, management, and use of information and knowledge-based technologies. Such technologies enable users to collect organizational data, provide a platform for organizing and disseminating the data, and offer operational, decision support, and knowledge management tools through which users can leverage data and information for making better organizational decisions. Students in the MIT specialization will study areas such as information technology analysis and development, database and knowledge management systems, decision support and data mining, human computer interaction, system security and integrity, and project management and collaborative teamwork.

$749.99Suggested Price
Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 119 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Edd Another great product from LG Love this dishwasher! Much better and quieter than my previous one (also LG, 2006 model). December 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kiltboy One good dishwasher I have enjoyed mine. It is quite and cleans great. I also like the child lock function as well. December 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by D. Gets the Job Done Things I like, quiet, easy functions, solid, stylish, low cost to run, adjustable upper rack, easy to install myself. Things I don't like, my plates don't work so well with the rack tines. I should have tried a couple of my plates in the rack at the store before I decided on this one. My ceramic / stoneware plates can not fit standing up straight, too wide so they angle over to the side at a 45 degrees. Tines too close together. Loads get "full" and ready to run sooner because the bottom rack is not holding as much, due to the way the plates fit. Maybe if another bottom rack were offered by LG I would buy that and switch racks. Plastic / tupperware type items do not dry so well. October 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 LOVE ♥♥♥♥♥ The easy rack makes it easy to fit larger items. The quietness and cleaning ability are amazing. I would definately recommend this dishwasher to anyone. November 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rob very quiet. you don't even realize it's on.it's that quiet! cleans better than any other we've owned.However,we found that racking dishes was a bit of a challenge,it's not really easy rack,but somewhat of a puzzle. November 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Runes This product is very easy to use I've only had this dishwasher about 2-3 months but so far I'm loving it. I purchased this dishwasher after my Maytag(that was barely 2yrs old died)The LG runs very quietly, and I really like the adjustable shelves and also being able to run a cycle for only the top shelf. I already have an LG washing machine which I really like so decided to try the dishwasher also. Thus far I'm really liking both appliances and would recommend the brand to others. October 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by lviv2014 Leaked after two month normal washing cycle takes more than 2 hours, with sanitary option on more than 2.5hrs, with extra dry option more than 3.5hrs!!! Leaked after two month of use October 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nancy so quiet! I really like this dishwasher. Not only is it extremely quiet, it's very good at cleaning! All of the spots that my previous dishwasher left are gone and I don't have to re-wash any more! October 29, 2014
Thanks to LG's brilliant LoDecibel™ Operation, you can look forward to a dishwasher that's among the quietest in its class. The 48dB rating might not mean much to you, but to your ears it's pure nirvana. Since it has fewer moving parts, LG's exclusive Inverter DirectDrive motor ensures "tip-toe" quiet load after load…along with utmost operating efficiency. No surprise, our motor is backed with a limited 10-Year Warranty. And that's something to shout about!

Moving Southern New Hampshire Forward
The Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission (SNHPC) will be working with the communities in our region to look at the big picture and consider the impacts of land use and transportation on our economic development, our health, our costs and our natural and cultural resources. This project will culminate with a shared vision for New Hampshire's future- how we can improve our communities, regions, and the State. This vision will be outlined in our regional comprehensive plan.
At the heart of all of this will be community participation, through an open and transparent planning process where we can ask ourselves questions such as... How can we:
A Granite State Future and Moving Southern New Hampshire Forward will be the product of the people of New Hampshire to identify shared interests and direct the use of limited government resources. By supporting localy identified needs and ensuring that local land use decisions remain local, each regional plan will build on its communities' own unique attributes to acheive economic vitality, and protect the natural resources, character and landscapes that are so important to New Hampshire.
Get Involved
We are committed to the idea that the best public decisions get made if the people who will be affected by those decisions are heard and involved in the decision-making process. We would love to hear from you! Our public outreach program includes many different ways for you to be involved with this project. Please contact us if you have any questions or suggestions.
The Moving Southern New Hampshire Forward Leadership Team meets on a quarterly basis. All are invited to come participate in the discussion. Agendas and minutes for these meetings can be found on the right-hand side of this page.
We are currently in the plan drafting stage of this project and we encourage you to review chapter drafts on the SNHPC website Granite State Future page. Please send your comments and suggestions to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Program updates will be posted to Facebook and Twitter. Please follow along and join in the discussion!
In addition, you can always give us your input online using the "Add Your Ideas" online survey.
Stay tuned for further information on public outreach and engagement in the Southern New Hampshire Region. We are continuously working on new ideas to gather input and to get everyone involved.
Granite State Future Regional Workshops
A series of regional vision workshops were held in Spring 2013 to present an opportunity for neighbors to talk about the future of our communities, our region and the state. For dates and summaries please visit the SNHPC website.
We look forward to discussing the future of our region with you!

Radon Gas
Radon is a radioactive gas produced naturally by the decay of uranium in the ground. It exists all over the world, although the amount of uranium and level of radon gas vary significantly, even from one house to the next. Radon is invisible, you can't see it, smell or taste it and it can get into your home undetected.
The current Canadian Guideline for radon is 200 becquerels per cubic meter (Bq/m3). Becquerels per cubic meter is the unit of measurement for radon, the higher the number the greater the risk. Protecting your family's health from the risk of radon exposure starts with learning more.
Smoking has negative effects on almost every organ in your body. If you are a smoker, there are things you can do to protect you and your family's health:
The chemicals in tobacco smoke can cause a number of negative health effects:
You don't have to do it alone; here are some resources to help you quit smoking:
Read some stories about how other people, just like you, quit smoking.
The health risks from radon
Smoking and radon exposure significantly increases the risk of lung cancer (including those being exposed to second-hand smoke). The effect is more than the two risks added together.
For example:
60% of radon related lung cancer deaths occur among smokers, and 30% occur among former smokers.
Smokers are not the only ones at risk; approximately 10% of all radon-related lung cancer deaths occur among non-smokers.
Top five reasons for quitting smoking and reducing radon levels:
Radon in your home?
A recent study has shown that over 1 in 5 New Brunswick households have radon levels above the Canadian guideline- one of the highest in Canada. Radon is found in nearly all homes in Canada, new or old. The question is: how much is in your home? The gas can enter the home wherever it has contact with the ground. Radon tends to accumulate in the lower levels of the home, like the basement for example, where it can reach high concentrations.
The gas can seep into the house in a variety of places:
The only way to know if you have a radon problem in your home is to measure its concentration with a simple test.
Protect your family's heath
Health Canada recommends measuring radon in your home for at least three months, ideally in the fall and winter timeframe. Radon levels can vary significantly over time and, therefore, a long-term test is more accurate.
If the radon test results are above the Canadian Guideline of 200 becquerels per cubic meter (200Bq/m3), steps to reduce the level of radon in your home should be taken. The higher the level, the sooner corrective measures should be taken. Remember that you should not rely on your neighbors' test result as results can vary significantly from one home to the next.
Test kits can usually be found at hardware stores. The Nova Scotia Lung Association is also offering long-term radon test kits at a price of $35 ($40 if you'd like them shipped) Please phone (888) 566-5864 or click here to purchase online.
Quit smoking
Did you know that your body will begin to heal itself within 24 hours of quitting?
Reduce radon levels
There are many ways to reduce the radon level in your home and, in most cases, these measures are simple and relatively inexpensive. For example:
The effectiveness of these methods will depend on the level of radon in the home and characteristics of the home. As each house is unique, a qualified or certified contractor can assess your home and recommend one or several mitigation techniques.
The work should be done by an experienced contractor who has received proper training from a certified organization. Expect the work to cost anywhere from $500 to $3,000.
For new homes
When a new home is being built, it is not possible to predict the levels of radon it will contain. It is therefore simpler and less expensive to adopt preventive measures during construction than to take steps later on.
In December the 2010 National Building Code revisions were released and included in them were new codes to protect against radon entry. These new codes apply to all new homes built in Canada, make sure that you builder is implementing them. The codes include:
For more details on these codes you can visit the web at:
Corrective and preventive measures are featured in the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's brochure "Radon – A Guide for Canadian Homeowners".
Additional resources for radon measurement and mitigation are:
Guide for Radon Measurements in Residential Dwellings (Health Canada)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Where can I find radon test kits?
Q: What areas in Nova Scotia are known to have the highest levels of radon?
A: Currently, there is no "radon map" to show what areas in the province have the highest levels of radon. Radon levels vary dramatically. No variable (location, age, or structure of your home) is enough to indicate how much radon is in your home. A brand new home, in an area that supposedly has low levels of radon, can still have dangerously high levels of the gas inside the home. The only way to know is to do a simple test.
Q: My radon test results came back and they are above Health Canada's guideline of 200 Bq/m3. Now what?
A: First, don't panic. You have the highest risk of developing lung cancer when you are exposed to high levels of radon for a long period of time – years or decades.
Next, consult the Canadian Mortgage & Homeowner's Corporation's booklet "Radon: a guide for Canadian homeowners". Inside, you will find information about simple methods to reduce radon levels in your home. There is also information about dealing with contractors.
If you would like to do more extensive work to lower radon levels, look at the list on this webpage called "Companies that perform radon-related services". Note these companies have self-identified themselves as being capable to deal with radon in some capacity. We do not endorse any of these companies.
If there isn't a company listed in your area, call a reputable contractor. Ask friends and neighbours for recommendations.
Q: How does radon gas cause lung cancer?
A: Radon decays quickly, giving off tiny radioactive particles. When inhaled, these radioactive particles can damage the cells that line the lung. Long-term exposure to radon can lead to lung cancer.

The ADP2311 is a fully integrated, dual output, synchronous step-down dc-to-dc regulator. The regulator operates from input voltages of 4.5 V to 18 V, and the output can regulate down to 0.6 V. Each channel can provide up to 1 A of continuous output current.
The ADP2311 integrates the high-side and low-side MOSFETs to provide a very high efficiency, compact solution. Both channels of the regulator run at 180° out of phase to reduce the input ripple current and the input capacitor size, thereby helping to lower system electromagnetic interference (EMI). The ADP2311 also integrates internal compensation and soft start circuitry to simplify the design.
An on-chip watchdog timer can reset the microprocessor if it fails to strobe within a preset timeout period. Accurate voltage monitoring circuitry and a power fail comparator provide a controlled power-up and power-down sequence to enhance system reliability.
The ADP2311 also includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overvoltage protection (OVP), overcurrent protection (OCP), and thermal shutdown (TSD).
The ADP2311 operates over the −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range and is available in a 24-lead LFCSP package.

to choose the running shoe for you
Watch the Video
the best runner for your needs by reading below. Then shop using the categories above.
CUSHIONED - Ready, set, run! Put the focus on comfort with Cushioned Running shoes. Specifically designed with efficient runners in mind, cushioned running shoes provide superior joint protection for long distance runs. Seasoned runners with a normal pronation or those with high arches and mild supination can comfortably put in extra miles with cushioned running shoes, which feature an extra soft midsole and semi-curved or curved last to promote a neutral gait and proper foot motion.
ARCH TYPE: High
GAIT TYPE: Underpronation / Neutral
STABILITY - Find stable footing with Stability Running shoes. One of the most versatile running shoe types, stability running shoes are ideal for runners with normal arches who pronate normally or may even mildly or moderately overpronate. This type of running shoe may also be ideal for runners with flat or fallen arches who overpronate. Heavier runners may also find the perfect match of support and comfort with a quality stability running shoe. The key to this type of stabilizing runner is the ability to support the foot through the heel and midsole.
ARCH TYPE: Normal
GAIT TYPE: Neutral to Mild Overpronation
SUPPORT - You have found your support system with Support Running shoes. Designed to benefit runners who face significant overpronation issues, support running shoes control motion and provide unmatched cushioning. Overpronators face a higher risk of injury. Running shoes with support will control the inward roll of the foot thanks to rigid, yet comfortable support. While support running shoes may be slightly heavier than other running shoe designs, they offer the most protection and stability for runners in need of control.
ARCH TYPE: Flat
GAIT TYPE: Mild/Severe Overpronation
TRAIL - Answer the call of the wild with Trail Running shoes. Designed with superior protection and solid support, trail running shoes offer enhanced cushioning and durability to take you from treadmill to trail with ease.

Pop�s New Queen
By Matthew Breen
Mika's preternatural cheeriness, seemingly boundless energy, and celebratory circus-stage imagery belie the traumas in his oft-repeated back-story: Born Mica Penniman to an American father and Lebanese mother in Beirut, Mika was evacuated with his family to Paris when he was just a year old. They later moved to London, where as a student Mika was bullied by peers and teachers at Lyc'e Fran'ais Charles de Gaulle.
'School was really hard,' Mika says. 'I had a lot of trouble with the kids in my class, but at the same time I had a lot of trouble with teachers because I had a lot of learning disabilities. I'm very dyslexic, and by the age of 11, I couldn't read or write. My life was kind of falling apart. I was a complete outcast freak. I got into trouble for everything that I said, so I stopped talking. I got pulled out of school [and] didn't go for about seven, eight months, and during that time I started to learn how to sing because I had nothing else to do.'
Trained as a soprano, he joined the chorus of a Richard Strauss opera at the Royal Opera House at age 12. At 19 he enrolled in the Royal College of Music in London. While on breaks from school, he began discussions with record companies. One label executive told Mika he'd make the deal if he changed his style and sound to match that moment's hit makers. 'They didn't care what'that was the worst part of it. They just wanted a hit,' Mika says. 'Of course, they've no idea what a hit is. No one does. What's a hit?'
Unwilling to bend creatively, Mika delivered 'Grace Kelly,' a buoyant middle finger to the sausage-making tendency of the industry. 'I had this realization that no one in the music industry would wave a magic wand and turn me into what I thought I could be,' he says. 'So if I was ever going to do it, I would have to proscribe every single aspect of my career, from my logo to the clothes that I wear. I realized that it was that vulgar and you just had to spell things out that much.'
He and his older sister Yasmine (a.k.a. DaWack), his stylist and Life in Cartoon Motion's cover artist, handmade 110 elaborately adorned boxes for his demo; the hype that followed the release of the boxes was what landed Mika a deal'on his own creative and financial terms. 'I had fought so hard to get where I wanted that I really needed the money with no interference in order to have fun and make the record I needed to make,' Mika says. 'So no one A&R'd my project'I just did it! I was even adding up the budgets for the horns myself, to see how much overbudgeting I could possibly conceal until the recording was already done and all they had to do was just pay the bill. I did a lot of that. Who said the music industry was clean?'

The Friday night match in the Aviva Premiership involves two of the form teams as Northampton Saints welcome Harlequins to Franklin's Gardens. The home side have been excellent on their own patch this season and are 3/10 odds on favourites to win the match, while Harlequins will be looking to do the double over their opponents and can be backed at 5/2 with Bet 365.
Quins won the last match between these two teams 26-13 back in September but Saints were missing plenty of their World Cup stars for that match and expect them to be much stronger on Friday. They welcome back their international stars and their only worry will be the fact that they'll lose those same players for next month's Six Nations.
Saints, currently third in the league, will be looking for revenge for that defeat earlier this season and expect them to look to start quickly, particularly as they have lost just one match at home this season. They are 4/6 on to score first on Friday and the method of the first score to be a Saints try can be backed at 4/1 with B365.
The Saints have lost just once in the league since September and they welcome Chris Ashton back from suspension. The England winger has signalled his desire to leave, possibly for Saracens, but he will have plenty to prove ahead of the upcoming Six Nations and he starts as the 15/2 favourite to be first tryscorer.
Northampton are without the injured Courtney Lawes though and his participation with England next month is in severe doubt. One man who definitely won't be playing for England is Harlequins' Danny Care, who has been left out by the national side after a turbulent week that saw him arrested.
Care is set to play for Quins though and Nick Easter is also set to start for a Harlequins side who have won their last eleven away matches in all competitions - a run that stretches back to April. They are bidding to do the double over Northampton for the first time since 2006/07 but they face a tough task in what is their third match in ten days.
There has been no more than an eight point winning margin in Quins' last three matches and they look a decent punt in the handicap market, with Bet365.com offering 10/11 for them to win with an advantage of +7 points.
Mike Brown, who has scored six tries in the Aviva Premiership this season, is likely to be a key man and he could be worth backing to be first try scorer at odds of 16/1. That looks decent each-way value at least as Bet 365 offer quarter the odds on the first four try scorers.
Harlequins may be seven points clear of Saracens at the top of the table but they have lost to Saracens and could only narrowly beat Exeter by one point in recent weeks. We fancy Northampton to edge this one and they can be backed at 9/2 to win by a margin of 6-10 points.
Northampton v Harlequins Tips
Tip 1: Harlequins to win with a handicap advantage of +7 points @ 10/11 with Bet365.com
Tip 2: Mike Brown to be first tryscorer (each-way) @ 16/1 with Bet365.com

Guest blog: Talking a good ride
Kim Clayden | Blog, Mountain Biking Uk | 12/04/2013 10:17am
You know the sort – the flabby guy on the expensive rig that advised Steve Wade on bike design, maybe helped build some famous trails or even worked as a guide, taking TV celebs out of their comfort zone in warmer climes. I'm sure you've met them while out riding and smile as they bluster about times gone, recounting exaggerated tales of mountains, maidens and derring-do, before wobbling off into the sunset.Well, not only am I beginning to have sympathy with those that talk a good ride, I fear I may be joining them.
Let me explain. A while back I moved house, and went from having Aston Hill a few hundred metres from my doorstep to needing to drive for 30 minutes to get to a decent trail. This move – supposedly a stop-gap – has now lasted over a year.
With the move came the tap issue: we don't have one outside – who builds a house without an outside tap these days? I have a Dirtworker, but after a cold muddy ride in our permafrost spring and a 30-minute drive each way, trailing mud through the house to fill a water tank in the kitchen sink does question the validity of the whole exercise (not to mention my other half's patience).
Currently I work away from home a lot of the time and, until recently, was commuting from my weekday residence to work by bike (15 busy road miles each way). Then, in December, the roads became skidpans in sub-zero temperatures; at the time of writing temperatures are still struggling to get above freezing, and I haven't commuted by bike this year.
Then there's actual mountain biking, which has been strictly a weekend thing. Awful winter aside, two of my last three precious rides have been cut short by slashed tyre sidewalls within three miles of leaving the car.
So I'm feeling a little hard done by, a little flabby and am definitely not 'requiring' trails or making the most of winter as I have previously promised. Talking a good ride is actually sounding pretty good here – it's the next best thing to actually getting out.
Still, before I totally succumb, there is a light glimmering on the horizon. We should finally move next month to somewhere with riding within riding distance, an outside tap and even a garage: I'm genuinely looking forward to it. Summer and dry trails are theoretically just round the corner.
The light looks brighter!
Then, assuming all goes well, I become a father in June…
Nice to meet you. Yeah, I know – I'm not riding so well today. But did you know that I previously worked as a bike guide? While in Spain I even took Ben Shepherd out and was on the BBC's 'Holiday' programme…

This past May, Tutchton, acting on behalf of Howe and one of her friends, filed an appeal of Kitchell's decision to issue Summo a mining permit with the Interior Department's Board of Land Appeals in Arlington, Virginia. The board surprised many people by issuing a stay of the permit in June, saying Summo couldn't proceed until it had ruled on the case.
That action sent the parties into private negotiations to try to reach a settlement. While neither side will reveal the content of those discussions, both Summo and the BLM say they believe an agreement will be reached in the coming months. "I think we'll have a resolution soon that's acceptable to everyone," says Hahn.
Environmental questions are especially critical at Lisbon Valley because the mine would employ so-called "heap-leach" technology to extract copper from the earth. Under that process, miners dig huge pits, pile up the ore, then drip sulfuric acid onto the piles. The acid leaches out the copper, which is then removed from the liquid. The process allows miners to reclaim copper from ore that previously was not considered rich enough to mine.
But heap-leach technology has proven unpopular with some of the neighbors of proposed mines. Disasters like the 1992 spill of cyanide and acid into tributaries of the Rio Grande at the Summitville mine near Del Norte--the mine's Canadian owner declared bankruptcy shortly thereafter, sticking taxpayers with a cleanup bill that may soar to more than $100 million--have made many people skeptical of the heap-leach process, even in areas that have traditionally depended on mining. The large pits that are left behind when the mines close also rankle many critics. Tutchton, for example, predicts that exposed pits from Summo's proposed Utah mine could turn the Lisbon Valley into one big toxic lake.
"There will be large open pits that will not be filled," he says. "Rain and runoff will fill the pits, and there will be trace copper and cadmium and zinc that will leach into the pits. Over time the pits become more and more toxic."
According to Tutchton, the open-air pits could become a burial ground for thousands of birds. "In the desert, these are like magnets for birds," he says. "A bird flying from the Colorado River to the San Juans all of a sudden sees this big lake. There are examples from gold mines where a duck lands and can't even take off."
Kitchell responds that the BLM is requiring Summo to post a $6 million surface-water reclamation bond. That money will be spent to fill in the pits only if it's shown that the water gathering there is acidic, she says. And according to Kitchell, it's not clear if the pits in the arid Lisbon Valley will turn into lakes in the first place.
Even as they bicker over the many aspects of the Lisbon Valley mine, there's one thing that everyone involved in the Summo controversy can agree on: The issue goes far beyond one mine. Behind the controversy over individual mine proposals like Summo's looms the larger issue of whether mining should be regulated by a law written 125 years ago.
"This is not an attack on Summo or the BLM but on the mining law of 1872," says the BLM's Ford of the National Wildlife Foundation's campaign targeting Lisbon Valley. "The mining law has been cussed and discussed at every level."
That law gives extraordinary leeway to hard-rock miners. Intended to encourage the settlement of the West, the law signed by President Ulysses S. Grant gives miners access to most public lands and exempts them from paying royalties to the federal government. By contrast, oil companies and coal mines are required to pay substantial royalties for resources taken off public property.
Once miners have proven they've discovered valuable minerals, they're even allowed to buy public land outright. Through a process known as patenting, miners can buy the land for $2.50 to $5 an acre. About three million acres of public land--an area the size of Connecticut--have been sold to mining companies under this provision.
In contrast to hard-rock mining, the coal-mining industry is governed by legislation passed in the 1970s that levies an 8 percent royalty on coal taken from public lands. That law--passed as a result of public anger over strip mining--also requires coal mines to reclaim the land after excavation and creates a trust fund to pay for the cleanup of abandoned mine sites.
In 1993 the U.S. House of Representatives passed a reform bill that called for an 8 percent royalty on hard-rock minerals and used that money to establish a cleanup fund for abandoned mines. The law also abolished the sale of public lands to private mining companies and required new mines to follow strict environmental standards. However, the bill came under attack from Western senators allied with the mining industry, including Colorado's Ben Nighthorse Campbell, and the U.S. Senate refused to approve similar legislation.
The resulting impasse now colors everything having to do with mining. Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt regularly denounces the mining law as a ripoff and holds acerbic press conferences where he cites the latest mining deal as one more example of the theft of public resources. In 1994 a Canadian company bought a Nevada mine with $10 billion in gold deposits for about $10,000, and Babbitt called it "the largest gold heist since the days of Butch Cassidy." He has signed other land-title transfers with an ornamental silver pen from the 1870s while sitting under a huge portrait of President Grant.

This is a tough review for me because my acne-prone skin reacts really well to sulfur-based products... just not this one in particular. I am recently experiencing a really bad flare up (hormonal), and my dermatologist prescribed Avar products. Then i saw this little jar (for less than $5) at my local CVS and decided to give it a try. I used it for 7 weeks total. I began using it exactly as the directions stated, for 10 mins max once a day as a mask but unfortuantely, my skin flared up even worse... it became red, really dry and i began peeling even though I knew this could happen (from all the reviews i read), it was still pretty frustrating and scary. I saw some of my whiteheads became full blown pimples ready to be popped, but my skin just became worse and worse... i never saw the light at the end of the tunnel and I experienced HORRIBLE 'purging', or so I thought it was. After the 7 weeks, i decided to completely stop using it and 2 days later, my skin miraculously calmed down, the redness went away, the inflammed pimples were gone and the dryness had almost gone away which leads me to believe I was experiecing a bad allergic reaction to this product. The other thing i noticed was that this product darkened my acne scars REALLY bad and the dryness made my skin look and feel 'old', if that makes any sense...Overall, this caused a lot of damage to my skin.
What I CAN say is that this is a great product for spot treatment, just not as an overall mask for my skin in particular. I still dab a very thin layer of it over a new pimple as I feel it coming, and by the next day I can tell it has dried out the pimple which is great.
My advice would be, if you really want to give this product a try, start introducing it to your skin VERY slowly. Do not use for more than 10 mins at a time, and I would even go as far as saying to not use it every day at first. I gave it 7 weeks becuse I know some products take a long time for us to see results, but as the 7th week approached and I saw my skin wasn't looking any better, i decided to stop it immediately.
I know us acne sufferers want immediate results and we get desperate sometimes, but we can also cause a lot of harm while trying to find the perfect 'overnight' solution to our problem.
I am now seeing my dermatologist once a month for facials (this has been a huge BLESSING and makes the most difference on my skin), using Avar e-green under my makeup during the day and alternating between Avar wash and Lush's fresh farmacy (looove) twice a day and my skin is a thousand times better. After I tackle the breakouts, my dermatologist will start with peels to undo some of the scarring caused by this product....
please be careful with this.

My HG back acne treatment! I suffer from folliculitis and frequently have breakouts on my cheeks, shoulders, upper arms, and back. For years I've tried various benzoyl peroxide treatments, alpha hydroxy lotions, salicylic acid and more to no avail. After stumbling across reviews for this I decided to stop by Walgreens and pick some up. It was hiding in the back with the other ointments instead of the acne section so it took a while to find but I'm sure glad I did. With the $3 price tag I couldn't be happier.
This product can be used on face and back however I find that it works better overnight for me on my back. It's an ointment so it feels like putting honey on your skin.
It can be drying if you use this on your skin overnight. At night, I clean my skin and use this as an all over face mask for 10-15 minutes. Washing is easy because it is water soluble. I do this 2 times per week since it can be a little drying. Over time I noticed that my cystic cheek and chin acne was completely gone! You CAN use this as an overnight spot treatment and it gets rid of cystic acne like that! However keep in mind that it can be very drying so do expect some peeling. Also it can get all over your pillows so use sparingly.
The skin on my back is very tough and oily. At night I smear this over both of my shoulders and upper arms/back overnight 2-3 times a week. (Make sure not to use this every day because your skin can get used to this). I usually wear an old tshirt with this as it can be messy. I mentioned earlier, I have struggled with upper back, upper arm, and shoulder acne and clogged pores since I can remember. This is seriously the ONLY thing that has every worked for me. Within 3 uses my back acne was completely gone and it continues to stay that way. I use this with a sulfur soap as well and my back stays completely clear.
This is my all time HG acne product. Thank you De La Cruz!

I had such high hopes about this product and I am sadly disappointed! I really wanted this to work for me but sadly it didn't. I have pimples on my cheeks and forehead, I was hoping to clear that all up and get a more clear face but it just didn't work for me. I put it for longer than 10 minutes hoping that would help a little but it didn't. The price is amazing and the smell is bad but if it had worked for me I wouldn't complain about the smell. I'm sad it didn't work for me as it did for everyone else but hopefully it works for someone else.

I tried this in hopes of helping with the redness and bumps I get with rosacea. Since my skin is incredibly sensitive, I don't know what I was thinking by smearing this on *before* doing a patch test. Lo and behold, my skin looks even angrier. Sooo, I'd definitely recommend trying this first on a small area of skin and/or leaving it on even less than the recommended 10 minutes.

This stuff is amazing!! I tend to go pretty extreme with my acne products and irritate my skin, but this time I decided to follow the instructions (sort of-left it on for 30 min) but I did not leave it on overnight. At first I thought it wouldn't do a thing if it wasn't left on overnight, but boy was I wrong. My face is clear of pimples (both cystic and regular) after a week and a half!! I am amazed! I use this in conjunction with a mild cleanser and toner and pimple patches. This is what keeps my acne from coming back and fades post acne red spots quickly!

I absolutely love this product, I've had sever acne mostly on my forehead and cheeks for 7 years. I've gone to doctors been prescribed medication after medication, nothing helped at all! I've seen a dermatologist and had microdermabrasion done,which only made my acne worse. The next step for me was accutane, I have been very hesitant about it because of the risks that come with it, so I've just been dealing with the breakouts, then I found this amazing product! I've only used this 4 times, or twice a day for the past 2 days and let me tell you this stuff is a miracle in a jar! My face is so clear I actually felt comfortable going around with no makeup on what so ever! This stuff is a must have! Not to mention I have extremely sensitive skin anything and every thing will usually cause me to breakout or get real dry flaky skin except this, it's clearing my breakouts with no drying at all, I definitely recommend this product!

Not sure if this product didn't really do anything for me because I don't have much acne, I get occasional break outs left the product on over night and seems my skin just gets irritated and dry. I've actually noticed more break outs since I began using this product. A bit disappointed was hoping it would be my magic potion as it is for many others

This product is truly amazing! I brought it 2 weeks ago and it has eliminated all of my pimples! I was suffering from horrible acne on my cheeks (which I believe was caused by the makeup I was using, my old moisturizer, or both). I noticed that it will bring any pimple to a head in about a day or two, and once I pop them (which I can't resist sometimes since they get SO big and nasty) I put this stuff on top and it literally eliminates and shrinks it overnight. I think it may also lighten red marks, but I am not 100% sure.
I leave the sulfur ointment on active pimples (or popped ones) anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. If using on larger areas, I recommend only using it once a day for 10 minutes since it did dry out my skin significantly when using it twice a day on both of my cheeks, even for 10 minutes at a time.
I do believe that anyone who is suffering from break outs to give it a try, it is only around $8, and I feel that you have nothing to lose!

This has saved my face. I have tried SO many products and pills for my acne, both OTC and prescription, and to no avail. My skin is oily with new breakouts everyday, even cystic once in a while. I haven't had a new pimple since I began applying this on my face! It's been about 3 weeks. I apply it and leave it on for about an hour in the morning and at night; no excessive dryness as of yet. I haven't got a clue why this works so well, but I purchased at Walmart it out of desparation based on on reviews from this site. This stuff is HG for me :D

ASA bans Mila Kunis 'misleading' body cream ad
By Charlotte Henry, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 11:20AM
An ad featuring 'Black Swan' actress Mila Kunis for Rodial cosmetics has been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for suggesting its body cream could give users her figure.
The emailed promotion claimed users could "Get Mila Kunis' Esquire look" by using its cream to reduce the appearance of cellulite and included a striking picture of Kunis in her underwear.
However, the ASA found there was not strong enough evidence that Kunis' distinctive figure was achieved via the product in question, or that the product did what it stated.
In its ruling, it said most consumers would consider an ad claiming to "streamline your bum, thighs and tummy" would reduce cellulite, as well as smoothing and tightening the areas of the body mentioned. However, the ASA did not believe it had seen strong enough evidence to support this claim.
In its response, Rodial referred to two trials for two active ingredients in the body sculpture product. It did not supply the ASA with the trials themselves.
The ASA concluded the ad was "misleading" because it was not clear that Kunis' appearance was as a result of using the product advertised, and warned Rodial not to make claims about the efficacy of its products without "robust evidence".

Time to trade backpacks for briefcases?
I hope not! Because I really want this turtle shell backpack. Yes, I'm nearly 22 years old, but I saw this girl walking around campus with this shell on her back and I've been wishing for it ever since. I've been wanting a new backpack recently, since I have the same one I've had since 7th grade. Granted, it's a sturdy North Face brand bag that has now traveled all around Europe, accompanied me on countless trips from Austin to Boston, and been with me through eight years of high school/college.
The lavender backpack is on its last leg, though, and desperately in need of an update. I want to buy the turtle shell (not because I'm a huge Ninga turtles fan, mostly because I take my time and am so slow and late for everything that I've been deemed 'the turtle' by my friends.)
I graduate from college in two weeks, marking the end of my formal schooling. Does that mean I trade my collegian backpack for a professional briefcase? Can I get away with a turtle-shell on my back? Tell me what you think!

Tel: 312 492 6262
Concierge.com's insider take:
When Stephanie Izard won season four of Top Chef, the victory was a tribute to her faultless sense of style as well as seamless cooking. Both skills pay off, handsomely, in her big, sexy beast of a restaurant, a Chicago West Loop It girl that distills every current dining trend. The requisite goth-goes-industrial (with a hint of barnyard) dining room is dressed up, or down, with beamed ceilings and the postapocalyptic touch of one charred wall. The clubby crowd finds its match in the endless team of athletic servers sprinting by in black T-shirts, and the menu is an all-things-to-all-hipsters smorgasbord—a scramble of locavore meets esoteric nose-to-tail-and-back-again butchering anchored by a subtle Mediterranean backbeat. Characteristic dishes include roasted cauliflower with pickled peppers and pine nuts, grilled baby octopus in a pistachio-lemon vinaigrette, goat chorizo flatbread, a full complement of innards and crudo, and pork fat doughnuts. While some of these busy plates need editing, the Girl & the Goat itself is already a perfect model of a smart, contemporary brasserie.—Raphael Kadushin

Clint soon caught the eye of the Swordsman, who took the young boy on as his assistant. Along with the help of Trick Shot, the Swordsman trained Clint to become a master archer. Clint later found the Swordsman embezzling money from the carnival. Before he could turn his mentor over to the authorities, Clint was beaten and left for dead, allowing the Swordsman to skip town. Clint's relationship with his brother Barney and Trick Shot soon deteriorated as well.
