Tetris in the sky: Gamers play on Philly building
Sam Robinson said it's been about 15 years since he last played the videogame Tetris on a Game Boy. On Saturday night, he played it on the side of a skyscraper.
Associated Press
Sam Robinson said it's been about 15 years since he last played the videogame Tetris on a Game Boy. On Saturday night, he played it on the side of a skyscraper.
Robinson, 30, was among the hundreds of Tetris fans who had a little fun Saturday with a big version of the classic video game on the side of the 29-story Cira Centre in downtown Philadelphia.
"It has been probably 15 years since I played Tetris last on a Game Boy, and it's much different playing on the side of building that's a half-mile away," the city resident said. "Everything's happening so quick."
The hundreds of LED lights embedded in the building's glass facade normally display colorful patterns. On Saturday night, images of supersized shapes "fell" on two sides of the mirrored tower as competitors used joysticks to maneuver them, creating a spectacle against the night sky that organizers hoped inspired onlookers and players to think about the possibilities of technology.
It wasn't the first time Tetris has been played on a building. But the 100,000-square-foot "screen" -- which includes the north and south faces of the structure -- could be a record.
The spectacle kicked off a citywide series of events called Philly Tech Week. It also celebrated the upcoming 30th anniversary of a game revered as the epitome of elegance and simplicity, said Frank Lee, an associate professor of digital media at Drexel University.
Lee, a game designer who oversaw creation of the giant display, said putting it on an office building was like making a huge virtual campfire.
"This project began as a personal love letter to the games that I loved when I was a child - Pong last year, Tetris this year. But it ended up as a way of uniting the city of Philadelphia," Lee told the crowd.
Lee already holds the Guinness World Record for the world's largest architectural video game display for playing Pong on one side of the Cira Centre last year. Pong, the granddaddy of all video games, is an electronic version of paddleball developed by Atari in 1972.
Tetris, created by Russian computer programmer Alexey Pajitnov in 1984, challenges players to rotate and arrange falling shapes into complete rows.
It became a global phenomenon in the late 1980s after game designer Henk Rogers, who had seen Tetris at a trade show in Las Vegas, acquired the rights and struck a deal to put it on Nintendo's original Game Boy.
Rogers, who was among the players on Saturday in Philadelphia, said he can't believe the longevity of Tetris, which decades later continues to mesmerize players on more than 30 platforms.
"If a game lasts a year, that's amazing," said Rogers, now managing director of The Tetris Co. "They usually go out of style very quickly."
Rogers said several new Tetris products and initiatives are planned for release around its June 6 anniversary. He declined to discuss details.

Familiar foes at it again
UConn and Notre Dame clash for final Big East title
|Connecticut head coach Geno Auriemma, left, shakes hands with Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw before an NCAA college basketball game, Monday, March 4, 2013, in South Bend, Ind. (AP Photo/Joe Raymond)
HARTFORD – During the immediate aftermath of UConn's triple-overtime loss at Notre Dame eight days ago with a share of the Big East regular season title on the line, Coach Geno Auriemma looked drained, frazzled and at wit's end. The frustration of having lost to the Irish for the sixth time in the last seven games against them appeared to have overwhelmed him.
But in the days leading up to the Big East Tournament, the helplessness appeared to transform into resolve not only for Auriemma but for all the Huskies. They refocused and went about fixing their flaws with a sense of urgency. They practiced with energy and determination and looked at their most recent loss from a different perspective.
"Obviously, we're not the Big East regular season champions this year," Auriemma said. "But coming back from that Notre Dame game wasn't all doom and gloom either. We turned the ball over 35 times and missed free throws, and it took three overtimes for us to lose. So we must have done a bunch of things really well. So we've just tried to stress those things that we did really well and tried to build on them. It worked."
The Huskies go into tonight's Big East Tournament championship game against Notre Dame not as a beaten team but as an inspired and motivated group.
Senior captain Kelly Faris said that as soon as the buzzer went off at the conclusion of the triple overtime, she was ready to play the Irish again. She has reiterated several times since then that any competitive player would be itching for a shot at redemption, and the Huskies are full of elite competitors who know in their hearts they have the Irish beaten several times in the last couple of years but didn't win the games.
"We've had it," Faris said. "Every time we've played them, especially the last time. We had the game won probably a good handful of times and just down to the wire we could've close it out with free throws. We didn't make free throws. So we know we can. We know we've been there to the point where we had it won. We just gave it away."
In four of the last six losses to Notre Dame, UConn had the lead in the final minute. A failure to box out with five second to play in regulation of last year's national semifinal game cost them a chance at a national championship. In this year's 73-72 loss at Gampel Pavilion, they had three shots at a potential game-winning basket in the final 30 seconds. In the loss at South Bend, they led in the final minute of regulation, led by six points with two minutes to play in the first overtime and led by five points in the second overtime.
The Huskies haven't closed out games, but that doesn't mean they believe they can't.
"If we don't have confidence that a can close it out if we have a chance then we shouldn't play," Auriemma said. "(Tonight) we have to find a way to win the game. I would feel a lot worse if we were playing a team that just came out and kicked our (butts). So we just have to come out tomorrow and do what we do best. We really haven't done that, but we've put ourselves in a position to do it and we just haven't been able to finish it off."
There are reasons to believe the Huskies are more capable of closing out a win than they were even only eight days ago. Auriemma said players like Breanna Stewart, Kiah Stokes and Bria Hartley have practiced as well as they have all season. He said it is no coincidence that all three played well in the Huskies' first two games of the Big East Tournament.
I think there has been more of an urgency that you see in us since the last game in practices leading up to this tournament, the game we played (Sunday) and the first half of this game," Hartley said. "When we are confident, we are aggressive, and I think that is the main key for our team. We have to be aggressive. It is when we aren't on the attack trying to make plays that we make mistakes or turn the ball over. If we are aggressive and we are all trying to make plays, we are going to be fine against Notre Dame."
She said turning around the outcome of games against the Irish is as simple as executing a little bit better so the Huskies don't repeat the school record 35 turnovers they had against the Irish the last time out.
"Someone has to step up on our team," Hartley said. "We have so many people who are playmakers and who are capable. So I think tomorrow we're going to have that."
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis is the most likely candidate to step up due to her combination of talent and motivation.
She missed the decisive box out at the Final Four last April, missed a wide open 3-pointer with five seconds to play in this year's loss at Gampel and blew a defensive assignment in the final seconds of the first overtime at Notre Dame to allow the irish to extend the game with a 3-pointer by Kayla McBride.
Mosqueda-Lewis said she feels more bitterness toward the Irish than any other team in women's basketball. How much does she want to beat them?
"A lot," Mosqueda-Lewis said. "You lose to anybody you want to get back at them, especially a team you've lost to so many times you want to kind of prove to yourself that you can do it and that we're good enough.
"I feel just the fact that we play them so much and every single game is a tough one. Every single game is a nail-biter so there's going to be something there. You get sick and tired of losing to the same team over and over again."

- " This was an awesome hostel. The staff was very friendly, the location was great (close to the beach and the city centre), the kitchen and bathrooms were quite nice, and there was a rooftop terrace with beach views. The one drawback was the lack of free breakfast - it was advertised on hostels.com, but they said that they don't do breakfast in the winter months. This was a bummer, but otherwise the hostel was great. "

Laparoscopic Perforated CholecystectomyNovember 5, 2009 6:10 am | Videos | Comments
What is new in cholecystectomy today - the bread and butter of general surgery? Can a cholecystectomy be performed always laparoscopically? Probably not. Can there be no iatrogenic injuries and no mortality? Certainly not. If this is the picture you would see when you put your first port in, in a 74 years old patient in near arrest due to sepsis and respiratory failure how many of you would continue laparoscopically and when and why would you go the good old days of open surgery? Would a large inflammatory mass in the right upper quadrant, barely allowing for insertion of a trocar and certainly not living much room for other ports put you off from laparoscopic surgery? What are the mortality, morbidity and recovery with open surgery in such settings? This case: a 74 years old man on anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation, presents with acute cholecystitis and sepsis; after a brief improvement with initial conservative management with rehydration, antibiotics and cardiology review for reversal of Warfarin, 48 hours later he deteriorates rapidly and is taken to surgery for cholecystectomy.

The "Physician Placement Starting Salary Survey: 2007 Report Based on 2006 Data," conducted in collaboration with the National Association of Physician Recruiters, found that physician-owned practices offered comparable salaries to hospital/IDS salaries for family practice without obstetrics ($130,000 vs.
New Approach To Lung Cancer Favors RadiosurgeryNovember 4, 2009 5:19 am | News | Comments
Recent studies suggest that patients with early stage, non-small cell lung cancer who are not able to undergo surgery now have another option. Physicians say that option, radical stereotactic radiosurgery performed with CyberKnife, leads to a 100 percent overall survival after three years in patients with good lung function before the treatment.

Medical Billing and Coding Program
This fully online, six-course, 18 college-credit certificate program offered by Drexel University's College of Nursing and Health Professions is designed for those who want to begin or enhance careers in medical billing and coding for in-patient and out-patient hospitals, as well as for clinics, medical offices, and health insurance organizations.
Students learn principles of medical billing and coding related to the three main coding manuals: CPT, ICD-9-CM, and HCPCS.
Depending on the number of courses you take per quarter, the certificate program can usually be completed within one year. At the same time, the program prepares you to sit for the certification exams after successful completion of part II of any of the billing and coding courses. As a result, you can achieve national certification even before completing Drexel's Medical Billing and Coding Certificate Program. Moreover, since tuition for the program is based on number of credits taken and not on the entire program, you are not obligated to complete the entire program.
Begin or enhance your career with this online certificate option in medical billing and coding.
Completion of this certificate program allows you to enter a profession that stands at the crossroads of healthcare and technology. As a medical billing or coding professional, you are the expert on patient data that doctors, nurses, and other providers need to perform their jobs. By maintaining, collecting, and analyzing health information, your work is an important contribution to the delivery of quality care. You also are the first line of defense against noncompliance and downcoding for any medical provider. You will help prevent legal difficulties and ensure that providers receive full reimbursement in a timely manner.

CHARLOTTE--A number of big name concerts, plays and other events take the stage in North Carolina this year.
That means many scalpers will try to do what they can in hopes of making some quick cash. Hundreds of people braved the cold in uptown Charlotte Friday morning looking to score tickets to one of this year's highly anticipated concerts, Beyonce's world tour.
"I've been trying to get them online since last week," Elijah Brewer said.
"My brother is paying for it so we are going all the way," Sheila Huntley said.
But within a matter of minutes, the show sold out, leaving some of her biggest fans trying to come up with a plan b.
"Hopefully it will be our day and we will get those tickets that we need," Leah Lynn said.
Leaders with the Better Business Bureau said once shows sell out, many people turn to the secondary ticket market.
"A classified in the paper, an ad on Craigslist, Ticket Broker Online, eBay, here are lots of different options," Janet Hart, vice president of Public Relations and Communications for the Better Business Bureau, said.
But those options come with risks, including paying more than you bargained for.
"There are people who will buy tickets to big events as a way of making a sideline income. You buy low, you sell high. It's the laws of supply and demand," Hart said.
There's also a chance you could end up with counterfeit tickets.
"Wanting to see an artist and finding out that you've bought a ticket that's not valid for you to get in, that can be disappointing at times," Huntley said.
"You're out the money, you got the disappointment, you're not going to the concert so it's worth paying a little extra to go with a secured seller," Hart said.
Event organizers warn people about the dangers of ticket scalpers. The Bumenthal Theater in Charlotte is fighting back against ticket scalpers, after noticing people were up selling tickets to see Les Miserables for as much as $500 a piece.
Now at checkout, customers have to agree not to sell a ticket for more than $10 above face-value. If they violate the condition, the theatre can void the ticket.
"We want to protect consumers and real theater fans who want to access our tickets," Tom Gabbard, president of the Blumenthal Performing Arts theatre said.
As for these fans, they said they won't be taking any chances.
"It's not that serious. We can go to another state," Lynn said.
The BBB reports there are reputable secondary ticket sites like Tickets Now, Stub Hub and Razor Gator.

With the upcoming release of Hysteria from Sony Pictures Classics, everyone is all in a tizzy – or should we say "In hysterics" – about where the vibrator came from, why it was invented, and how it came to be the lovely little masterpiece it is today.As the official partner for the release of Hysteria, we thought we'd help out Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Darcy with a little Vibrator History 101. You can read more about it on our Hysteria page (where you can also enter to our Hysteria contest to win $500 gift card or one of our Hysteria Collection Pleasure Sets). A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE VIBRATOR Victorian Era 1869 – George Taylor, M.D. is credited with patenting one of the first vibrators, a steam-powered invention, the "Manipulator." 1880 – Dr. Joseph Mortimer Granville patents the first electromechanical vibrator. 1902 – The American company Hamilton Beach patents the first electric vibrator available for retail sale. Turn of the Century 1902-1920's – Vibrators are sold in women's health and fashion as "home-health" devices. 1920 – The appearance of vibrators in "stag films" lifts the veil on their sexual uses, driving the market underground. Sexual Revolution 1960's – Vibrators reemerge as pleasure accessories during the sexual revolution. 1977 – Good Vibrations opens its doors, marking the beginning of the clean, well lit "Sex Positive" retail movement. The HBO Era 1998 – Sex and the City puts the ICONIC RABBIT in the spotlight, mainstreaming the conversation of the product. The Age of Jimmyjane 2004 – Jimmyjane launches its Premiere Collection into premium lingerie stores, department stores and design concept shops 2006– Jimmyjane introduces FORM 6, the first truly waterproof vibrator with cordless charging 2009-2011 – Jimmyjane launches the Pleasure to the People Series, expanding the reach and possibilities of the FORM line. 2012 – Sony Pictures Classics releases Hysteria, a film about the invention of the vibrator.
Ever since Dr. Ernst Gräfenberg wrote his paper on the "female prostate" in 1950 (named the G-spot in 1981 - a posthumous honor), scientists have been attempting to prove its existence.As many as half of women report that they derive sexual pleasure and even orgasm from stimulation of the soft spongy tissue about halfway up the front wall of the vagina. That's good enough evidence for us at Jimmyjane, but it's not exactly scientific proof. Well, there may have been a new development in the world of female sexology. Adam Ostrzenski, MD, PhD, of St. Petersburg, Florida dissected the vagina of a recently deceased 83-year-old woman and found a tiny structure that he believes to be the ever elusive G-spot. This alleged sexual pleasure center is less than one third of an inch long and is contained in a bluish sac buried deep within the anterior wall of the vagina. This bluish tissue looks like "a tiny bunch of grapes with a white rope-like tail," as pictured in the photograph. Okay, we're kidding – those are actually just grapes. However, not everyone in the medical field is convinced. As other professionals in the gynecology field point out, we are not familiar with the sex life of this deceased woman – did she even experience G-spot orgasms? We'll never know. What's the Jimmyjane stance on it? While scientific evidence is interesting and potentially useful, it doesn't play a vital role in the pursuit of sexual pleasure. No matter what doctors and scientists say, only you know what turns you on and gets you off. We encourage women to try stimulating their G-spot and just see if it feels good (you can find tips on how to reach it in our How To Orgasm guide). If it feels good, awesome. If not, no problem – there are plenty of alternative erotic zones and techniques that lead to pleasure. Ostrzenski's report is scheduled to appear in the May issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

Buying cheap, poorly made, "disposable" sex accessories that end up in the trash after a month of use makes the polar bears cry. Make the polar bears happy this Earth Day and opt for environmentally-friendly, body-safe and socially conscious vibrators, lubricants and condoms.Jimmyjane, Blossom Organics and Sir Richard's Condom Company have come together for the greater good. Each company was started with the same fundamental belief – since sexual products can significantly impact our planet and our personal wellbeing, manufacturers in the pleasure industry are responsible for quality, safety, accountability and of course, uncompromising excellence.

It has come to our attention that there are folks out there who unclear on the distinction between a dildo and a vibrator. Around here, we often get questions like "So, how's work at the dildo factory?" - drawing to mind Lucy toiling away on the assembly line, only with rubbery phalluses wobbling by rather than chocolates. Rest assured, we never make our employees eat our excess inventory, and we don't make dildos. We make vibrators.The most important differentiating factor in what makes something a vibrator is, well, vibration. Vibrators are motorized massagers, while dildos are phallic-shaped objects that do not move on their own. In other words, a vibrator is not a dildo, unless it's out of batteries or broken and is simply used for insertion. In that case, you can call your vibrator your dildo – and a bit of a buzzkill. If you're in that situation, it's really time to buy a rechargeable vibrator that won't run out of batteries and won't break (and if it does, you can take advantage of its Warranty.) Dildos have been around since the dawn of man (or, more importantly, the dawn of woman). Phalluses made of stone have been discovered that age back to 26,000 B.C. Remember Clan of the Cave Bear (the book if you're all literary, or Darryl Hannah if you're all soft porny)? Reimagine that sex scene, only this time, insert some accessories. Vibrators, on the other hand, did not come along until the 1800's, when the technology of the time allowed objects to move on their own. The first vibrator was steam-powered, followed in the 1880's by Dr. Mortimer Granville's electromechanical wonder, the "Manipulator." (Learn all about it in Hysteria, the new romantic comedy from Sony Pictures Classics, starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and directed by our friend, Tanya Wexler.) There are lots of lovely dildo options out there, if you are looking for a non-vibrating, insertable sex accessory – from one doubling as a massage tool, to a shimmering vampire penis, to a full-on life-like member in the skin tone of your choice.
Good friend of Jimmyjane, Emily Morse, has a new reality show on Bravo called "Miss Advised." Here you can see Emily fondling her favorite Jimmyjane on camera. As Emily says on her blog – "FORM 6 has a special place in my heart. It was my first Jimmyjane.""Miss Advised" premieres this season on Bravo. The reality series follows three relationship experts that "can't seem to practice what they preach." We don't know much about Emily's taste in dating partners, but we know she has great taste when it comes to her favorite sex accessories. See Emily's Picks on Jimmyjane. Emily's radio show and podcast, Sex With Emily, covers taboo topics such as sex, relationships, dating, cheating, marriage, mistakes, lovers and even love. The show launched in August 2005 and quickly garnered a spot on iTunes' "Top 20", remaining there ever since. She is currently working toward a PhD in Human Sexuality.
Have you talked to your grandmother about masturbation lately? Probably not, unless your grandmother is Joani Blank – founder of Good Vibrations and collector of vintage vibrators.Blank's extensive collection has just been integrated with her company's to form San Francisco's first Antique Vibrator Museum. This small gallery is located in the rear of the Good Vibrations Polk Street store. The museum features an eclectic assortment dating back to 1890. Dr. Carol Queen, Staff Sexologist, can give you a historical tour that highlights the invention and functions of early vibrators. The sordid past of the world's favorite sex accessory – and one of the first domestic electric appliances – gives a unique perspective of the history of female health and sexuality, from the Victorian era to the women's liberation movement. Where did they find these relics? Mostly at garage sales and from customers cleaning out their grandparents' attics. Perhaps it's time to ask grandma about her own collection. You never know, you just might unearth a little piece of electro-mechanical history. Check out the Grand Opening event at the Antique Vibrator Museum this Thursday, April 12th, then peruse the modern delights offered in the store. We can't promise that our FORM 2 will "Relieve Pain and Give Strength," but it will definitely deliver the pleasure.
Surprise - the FORM family will not be appearing on the April 1st episode of Family Guy, nor anytime soon. At least, not to our knowledge.
It was just a prank (though not a bad idea, really!)See our announcement that fooled a few suckers.
In our culture of planned obsolescence it's rare to find products that are built to last a lifetime. Seasonal upgrades may have their place in fashion and technology, but when it comes to the products that engage our sexuality, there is no place for poorly made vibrators that break before you can say ohmygod.That's why more and more people choose to invest a bit more on a quality product today and save themselves the time and money it will cost tomorrow to replace it. But time and money are not the only resources saved – products that last also reduce material consumption, energy consumption and landfill. When Jimmyjane introduced our one year warranty back in 2005, we were the first in the industry to do so, and we've since inspired others to follow our lead. In 2009, we tripled our commitment to quality and enduring pleasure – but our Three Year Limited Warranty is just the beginning. Can a vibrator truly last forever? If the material is wear-proof and the motor is replaceable it can come pretty close. LITTLE SOMETHING and LITTLE CHROMA and made with medical-grade anodized aluminum and precious metals. And with their patented Replaceable Motors, these vibrators might last a lifetime, or more. How lucky your grandchildren will be when they find out what they've been bequeathed.
As we discussed a couple weeks ago, the landscape of vibrator design is constantly changing and improving, like a caterpillar turning to a beautiful, electronic, pleasure-inducing butterfly.So what does that mean for you, the savvy customer? It means that while it's easier to find high-quality, well-designed vibrators, it's harder to decide which one is best for you. Here are three places to start your quest for the perfect sex accessory – power, durability and "wow." Power – For many, more power means more pleasure. The intensity of a vibrator depends on the type, quality and quantity of motors, and the power source that drives them. Look for a vibrator with a digitally controlled precision motor (or two) to get the strongest vibrations with the lowest sound levels and longest battery life. Durability – A vibrator should last several years, never just a few months. Look for companies that stand by their products with multi-year warranties and convenient, responsive customer service. Choose products made of body-safe, medical-grade materials that won't deteriorate or break. Wow – The most important factor (and the hardest to define) is "Wow." Wow is the end result – an experience that is greater than the sum of its parts. As vibrator designers, we know it's what's inside that counts – the materials, technologies and engineering that go into creating an exceptional product. As a customer, you know all that matters in the end is how your chosen companion feels to you and that it's safe for your body and the planet. Wow encompasses all of that. Now go wow yourself.
Jimmyjane believes that if anything should be beautifully designed, it's the products that engage our sexuality... read more »

You're driving down the road, you see a police car in your rear view mirror and you get that traditional feeling of 'Oh my god, the fuzz are behind me and they'll pull me over for the smallest indiscretion'. Don't worry – we won't, but we might decide to exercise our powers under S. 163 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 which grants us the ability to pull a motorist over for the purpose of a document check.
This is a position many motorists will find themselves in and doesn't necessarily mean that they've done anything wrong, only that for whatever reason an officer has decided that a quick peek at their driving documents would be a good idea.
Assuming that a motorist has with them at the time of the stop both parts of their driving licence (photo card and paper counterpart), their MOT certificate, insurance cover note and that all of these items are in order, the motorist is soon off on his or her jolly way.
An inability to display any of these documents at the roadside, however, means that a police officer is likely to issue to the motorist a catchily titled 'HORT/1′ form, otherwise known as a producer.
The producer is a short receipt documenting the conditions of the stop e.g. who was driving what vehicle and at what time and makes a request to that driver to produce the specified documents to a police station for inspection within seven days from midnight on the date of issue.
The law states that motorists should carry their necessary documentation with them, although oddly it recognises that most people will not actually do this and so includes a proviso that no one will be prosecuted for being caught not carrying their documents if they produce them to a police station within the above given period.
Having taken the requested documents to a police station, the staff at the front desk will record the information given and providing that all is in order, no further action is taken. If a motorist brings in documents showing he or she was acting outside the law driving a particular vehicle, action is taken accordingly as it is if a person doesn't fancy bringing in their documents at all.
Beyond issuing the producer, if an officer is being thorough he or she may also 'report' the motorist for not producing his documents. This means that the motorist is formally called to court to answer the charge, although this request is voided by the motorist producing the documents at a station within seven days. The reporting process involves the issue of a caution which can sound worrying like you are being arrested but not to worry, you aren't and hopefully the officer dealing will explain the process to you.
The receipt of a producer is not an uncommon outcome of traffic stops and nor should it be something that causes any worry. We're obviously keen that people's driving documents are in order as if they aren't the dangers are obvious – people without proper licenses or insurance can and do cause havoc and we're keen to do everything we are able to stop them.
With the majority of producers the motorist brings in their documents which are fine and we then enter the results into our sophisticated filing system to be forgotten about. We'd not want you to go away from a traffic stop unsure about the next steps and if you do have questions, please ask. We don't bite!

This is basically a tinted moisturizer. I have light to medium (medium in summer) skin with yellow undertones. I got this in the medium shade but it left me with an ashy tinge. I suspect this contributed to breakouts on my face. It leaves a dewey finish. With my combo-sometimes oily skin, this was not the look I was going for. Would not repurchase.

I wanted to love this BB cream so bad. The color is perfect on me (Medium) and it's really easy to apply. I also love that it has SPF 30 in it. However.. At first it looks great but within 30 mins i start looking super greasy. Even after powdering, the grease will show up after 3 hrs. It also stays really tacky during the day, like it will not set. Although i like the color, it doesn't really give any coverage. But the biggest con is that it makes me break out really bad. At first i thoughts it was just a random break out, but then my friend told me she threw her bottle away for the same reasons. I really hoped this would replace my foundation for the summer months, but unfortunately it won't.

The Maybelline Dream Fresh 8-in-1 BB Cream wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst. I love the fact that it had an SPF30 but it had no coverage at all. When I first got it, I wanted something to cover my blemishes as well as keep it fresh and this cream didn't cover anything. Rien, nada, zilch. It was moisturizing at first, but then it kind of wore off at the end of the day. I now use it as a moisturizer only and I still need to layer on concealer. Which I don't like, because I'd rather go out with 1 cream on my face then the whole "complete" makeup routine. Overall, I wouldn't buy it again, but if it's on sale or a gift, I would probably still use it.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Cool Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium Eyes: Blue
American BB creams tend to be more like tinted moisturizers and this one is no exception. I bought this because I wanted a sheer foundation/primer that would cancel out redness and blur imperfections to use underneath mineral makeup (Everyday Minerals powder). This fits the bill pretty well. Worn alone it is not very long wearing (3-4 hours) but underneath powder it lasted about 7 hours for me with an oily tzone.
I picked up Light Medium (NC25-30) and did not notice any oxidization. I have tried better (Skin79 Gold) and worse (Lioele Beyond the Solution) BB creams. I will probably not buy again as there is nothing that stands out about this and there are so many other BBs and CCs coming out. Not bad though.

I love how my skin looks within the first few hours of putting it on but any longer and i start looking super greasy! i always use my rimmel stay matte powder with it but i still find myself having to blot throughout the day. it gives a very natural look and the shade i purchased(medium) blended into my skin perfectly, it has very sheer coverage so while it doesn't cover up any imperfections it does blur them out a bit. I will finish the product but will not repurchase as there are many better bb creams out there.

I love this BB cream!!! Before i had this bb cream i tried the Rimmel 9-in-1 which i had in Medium and was way way too dark. I bought this one in medium as well and it's the perfect colour, it blends well, stays for at least 4 hours without setting and is so lightweight I totally forget I'm wearing it. I have reasonably clear skin so i wasn't worrying about covering blemishes but more my uneven skin tone and it does it amazingly! The only problem was that its quite watery and can make quite a mess of the packaging. I wouldn't recommend this this to people with oily skin as it's not a matte finish and can look quite shiny after a while in the sun. I'm not going to buy this product again because I'd like to try some of the other ones around.

I love it!!! It gives me a natural, glowing look. It's texture is a little watery, and it can make a bit if a mess in the cap if you're not careful. It covers minor imperfections, and lasts about 4-5 hours by itself, and sometimes I can get about 7 if I set it. I wouldn't recommend it if you're oily, because it does create some shine during wear.

It is a nice coverage; light like you would expect bb cream to be and yet sometimes it does come out a bit runny and it can look orange on your skin after a while x it also blends nicely x

Use Empty Beds at State Hospitals for Low-Risk Prisoners Needing Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment
The state should use empty beds at state hospitals for low-risk prisoners needing treatment for alcohol and drug abuse instead of building new facilities.
New drugs, treatment methods and alternative treatment facilities mean that many people with mental diseases no longer need long-term stays at state hospitals. One recommendation elsewhere in this report would partially eliminate th e need to maintain people with schizophrenia in state hospitals. That recommendation suggests making available to these patients a new drug, Clozaril, which is highly effective at eliminating the disease s symptoms and which would allow approximately 500 patients diagnosed as schizophrenics to return to the community. Another recommendation would move about 500 patients with mental diseases to a more appropriate level of care nursing homes with special psychiatric facilities.
These two recommendations alone would effectively reduce the demand for about 1,000 beds. If these beds were filled instead with prisoners who need alcohol and drug abuse treatment, the state could save the money necessary to build new facilities.
In November 1991, Texas voters approved funds to build 12,000 new prison beds for alcohol and drug treatment. These beds will become available according to the following timetable: 1,500, 1,000 and 9,500, respectively, in fiscal years 1993 through 1995. Th ese target dates coincide with the new availability of the state hospital beds since all 1,000 beds would be available at the start of fiscal 1995.
Since state hospitals were built with secure lock-ups, within nine months from being vacated the state hospital facilities could be made available for occupancy for prisoners needing alcohol and drug treatment. The facilities would require modifications fo r additional security, including the consolidation of empty beds into separate wards or buildings.
Texas has responded to changing needs before by changing the roles of its institutions. For example, the state chest hospitals, which were used to treat only tuberculosis patients until drug advances made that role less important, have moved into other areas of medical treatment.
A. The Legislature should mandate that the Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation (TxMHMR) consolidate empty beds in secure wards and buildings in state hospitals so that they can be used for prisoners needing alcohol and drug abuse treatm ent.
B. The Legislature should mandate that the Texas Department of Criminal Justice move or parole patients from correctional facilities to these medical institutions as beds become available and should purchase services from TxMHMR for their care and treatment.
These beds could also be available as alternative sentencing options for judges to use for low-risk prisoners.
These recommendations could allow the state to serve more people who are in need of services more efficiently. The recommendations recognize changes already underway the decline in the need for state hospitals and the increase in the need for alcohol and drug abuse treatment especially for prisoners. The recommendations would relieve the taxpayer of high, long-term debt from building new facilities.
Fiscal Impact
Moving prisoners into empty beds would eliminate the need to build two 500-bed facilities during the 1994-95 biennium, which would save $18.5 million in construction costs. However, an estimated $1.8 million would be needed to modify TxMHMR hospital facilities, which would result in a net savings of $16.7 million. Thus, $16.7 million of general obligation bonds would not need to be issued during the 1994-95 biennium.

Low Expectations and the Bottom of the Barrel
George W. Bush, the master orator, actually has a turn of phrase (that he likely didn't write) that I quite enjoy: "the soft bigotry of low expectations."
Even though I get no affirmative action in China, expectations surrounding me could not be any lower, and I think it's starting to affect me.
I've been aware of the barrel-bottom expectations Chinese people have of me understanding the Chinese language, history, culture, how to get around, and bus schedules, to name a few, but the bottom of the barrel shone so clearly in an incident recently that the incident has stuck in my mind.
The bottom appeared to me while I was traveling in Guizhou province and needed to book a plane ticket. I went to the travel agent near my hotel, booked the ticket, and handed the money to the young woman helping me.
The woman took the money and called to her mother, who carried the change.
"Ma! Ma!" she shouted out the room; her mother was somewhere around the corner.
Soon mom came in and handed the daughter the change, saying "sep men," ten dollars.
"You're from Guangdong," I said, recognizing the Cantonese word for 'ten.'
I should have known that my least favorite word was reflexively coming out the barrel: "Zhen lihai!" Amazing!
I sat back in my chair as the praise faded into a steady background music and I let thoughts of my Chinahand awesomeness wash over me. You know? I am pretty awesome, I thought.
But just before the praise got too far, my better judgment got a hold of me. I was being awarded praise for a skill that was incredibly simple.
To understand just how simple what I had done was, here's an apt analogy: Praising me for understanding the numbers one through ten in Cantonese after having lived in Guangzhou for a year is like praising someone who can speak English and who lived in El Paso, Texas (just imagine that even more people there speak Spanish) for a year for recognizing that 'hola' meant 'hello.'
No one would praise this person in the United States, and I think that's about right. But the fact that in one year I've achieved a fluency that requires ten minutes of class time conflicts with the notion that I'm supposed to understand nothing about China.
It doesn't matter that my praisers already knew that I had been in China for so long, most of it in Guangzhou.
I think this praise is harmful. Low expectations, even when coated in sugary praise, are still low expectations, and they still encourage me to rest on my laurels. I start to think, My Chinese is already so good, why study further?
In the end, my curiosity for learning languages won't die, but I'll have to make sure to brush my teeth. I have a sweet tooth but this much sugar's not good for my teeth.

The Baltimore Ravens say that Elvis Dumervil passed his physical exam on Tuesday. He is now officially a Baltimore Raven, the club tweeted.
A press conference featuring Dumervil, coach John Harbaugh and inside linebackers coach Don Martindale is set for 2 p.m. EDT Tuesday afternoon.
Word of Dumervil's signing initially broke over the weekend.
Dumervil recorded 63 1/2 sacks over seven seasons with the Denver Broncos.
He had agreed to lower his 2013 salary from $12 million to $8 million, but the paperwork didn't reach the NFL offices in time.
The Broncos were forced to release him on March 15, and the Ravens were quick to scoop him up.
Dumervil will wear No. 58 – his college number – with the Ravens.
Pro Bowl defensive tackle Haloti Ngata has worn 92 – the same number Dumervil wore in Denver – throughout his eight-year career with the Ravens.
Dumervil, therefore, will go back to the number he wore in college at Louisville.
Elvis Dumervil has passed his physical and is now officially a Baltimore Raven! twitter.com/Ravens/status/…

Take a Frightening Tour Down America's 'Climate Change Highway' [with Slideshow]
Trucks work in an open pit mine in Wyoming's Powder River Basin.
Photo Credit: Tara Lohan
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Editor's Note: View a slideshow at the end.
Wyoming is not short on scenic drives. You can hug the shores of Yellowstone Lake on Route 20. You can get caught in a traffic jam of bison on Teton Park Road. You can try to keep pace with the Snake River as your vehicle huffs and puffs over the mountainous Route 189.
I did all of those things this summer, but first I took a different sort of drive, which put the beauty of these places in context. I drove the "Climate Change Highway": Route 59, south of Gillette in Wyoming's Powder River Basin. It's hundreds of miles from the touristy byways of Yellowstone and the Tetons, yet what happens along this road in the next decade may well determine our future.
There's not exactly a sign proclaiming that Route 59 is the Climate Change Highway, like there is for California's " Petroleum Highway," along Route 33. It's a pet name given by Shannon Anderson, an organizer with the Powder River Basin Resource Council in Sheridan, Wyoming.
The PRBRC calls for "responsible development" in the Powder River Basin, which encompasses parts of southeastern Montana and northeastern Wyoming. "I call it the Climate Change Highway because of the coal mines, the fracking, the coal-bed methane — it's everything," said Anderson.
The Powder River Basin provides more coal than any other region in the country, is home to one of the largest gasfields, and now may be the site of the next oil boom, too. The impacts of burning just coal from the basin make the area the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the nation.
Coal Country
To get to the Climate Change Highway from the cowboy town of Sheridan, I avoid the interstate and head southeast on the two-lane meandering Route 14/16. It's rolling hills, grassland, ranches, and mostly sage dotting the fencelines along the road. Cottonwoods huddle by creeks and streams.
It's not long before I'm passing through Clearmont and my truck is running right alongside one of Warren Buffet's coal trains.
Around here the rails are dominated by BNSF—the second largest freight train network on the continent. It's a wholly owned subsidiary of Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway and the former marriage of the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe railroads. Buffet's hands (and checkbook) are dirtied with coal dust (numerous lawsuits have been launched against BNSF's coal trains for health and environmental impacts), and BNSF also hauls diluents that are key to tar sands mining as well as pipeline materials. It's fitting that Buffet's rail network parallels the Climate Change Highway.
Before I get to Gillette, the self-proclaimed "Energy Capital of the Nation," I pause at the Eagle Butte mine, owned by Alpha Natural Resources. There is a pull-out on the road, complete with a viewing platform where you can peer into the dusty abyss below. The coal hauling trucks and loaders that traverse the open-pit mine look miniature because of the scale—in reality, the wheels are about 13 feet high, but from my vantage they look like toy trucks playing in a sandbox. It's a metaphor for our relationship with coal; too often we underestimate its impact when we're too far removed from the digging, scraping and hauling. And maybe also when we're too far removed from the burning of coal. And from the climate science.
As I continue my drive south of Gillette on Route 59, there are signs for more mines like Caballo (Peabody), Belle Ayr (Alpha), Cordero Rojo (Cloud Peak), and Coal Creek (Arch), although none of them provide viewing platforms like Eagle Butte. Fences separate passersby from the action and the dust obscures whatever views remain. (See an interactive map of all the mines here.) Occasionally I can make out the specter of a dragline, the massive excavators that can weigh up to 13,000 tons. I catch the outline of one on the horizon as I stop to photograph a pronghorn in the sage.

As some of you may already know, I've been on the hunt for anything and everything fairy type in Pokemon X & Y. This includes, but is not limited to, fairy friend safaris, shiny fairies, and any fairies of proper ability, nature, and IVs. Now, some of you have been kind enough to indulge my little obsession and for that I'm extremely grateful. However, as is the nature of anyone of an addictive persuasion, I need more. So I'm taking my request to the masses.

Obama lied, #MyHealthPlanDied: Monday marks Day of Mourning & Protest for cancelled insurance
President Obama repeatedly promised "if you like your plan, you can keep it" during his sales pitch for Obamacare. The New York Times covered for Obama, saying the president "misspoke," and White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer recently updated the promise to "if you like your plan and it hasn't already been changed or canceled, you can keep it."
Enough is enough.
Government gets poor marks on protecting gun rights
Asked to size up how the government is doing on protecting a variety of rights and freedoms spelled out in the Bill of Rights and federal law, Americans pointed to slippage almost everywhere but most dramatically on the matters of guns and voting rights. The impression of a declining track record on guns rights turned up everywhere: among Republicans and Democrats, men and women, young and old, city dwellers and those in small towns.

SCHERERVILLE, Ind. — Oh, how a yellow flag can change your attitude.
Paul Shafer Jr. says he was pretty much resigned to being a runnerup in Saturday's late-model feature at Illiana Speedway when a spun-out car in Turn 2 just 11 laps from the finish gave him a chance to challenge leader Anthony Danta.
The 16-year-old points leader from Portage, Ind., needed just two laps after the restart to work his way into the top spot. He went on to beat Danta by 0.768 seconds.
The win was Shafer's second of the season at Illiana as well as his second in a row.
"If I wouldn't have gotten that yellow flag Danta was gone," Shafer said. "There was no way I was going to catch him. Maybe a little bit per lap, but nothing major.
"All I could do was keep doing what I was doing and hope for a yellow."
He got it, and didn't squander the opportunity.
"On the restart I kind of jacked it sideways coming out of (Turn) 4," Shafer said. "He had me by about a car getting into 1. I just kind of worked him up a little bit and went around.
"Two in a row. I don't see how, but I got two in a row."
Danta held on for second, ahead of Jeff Cannon.
Cannon wasn't even on the track at the start of the race, arriving late out of the pits. But a yellow on lap 7, with him as the lead car a lap down, resulted in Cannon receiving the "lucky dog."
Cannon roared through the pack, eventually passing D.J. Weltmeyer as the white flag came out to claim third place. Weltmeyer was fourth, followed by John Nutley and Bobby Gash.
Meanwhile, Paul Shafer Sr. was also victorious in the Legends feature. The long-time dirt ace, who recently returned to oval racing in support of his son, took the lead from Jacob Melvin at the halfway mark of the race and went on to beat Chris King by 0.449 seconds and complete a rare father-son victory double.
"I'm tell you, I'm so proud of my boy. He drove a good race, and he's getting better and better every week, while I'm getting older and older," Shafer Sr. said with a smile.
"I blew the motor up and this is a brand new motor for the Legend. To win on the same night (as Shafer Jr.), that's pretty good."
Last-lap drama in the turbo stox feature saw points leader John Senerchia slip underneath Ryan Moore in Turn 4 and claim the victory. Jacob McKown, Matt Arvia, Chris Woodall and Michael Moore completed the top six.

SOUTHBURY, CONN. — An ink and watercolor drawing, which was a design for a stained glass panel depicting a robed male figure of a saint of the Anglican church, was reportedly stolen here between March 27 and 29.
The drawing is in a contemporary wooden frame with original nails, and measures approximately 11 by 30 inches. The frame is walnut and has a gilt border. The matted artwork measures about 7 by 24 inches and is signed "Bell." It is English, circa 1830–1840, and the number of the panel, 116, appears in the lower left margin of the drawing.
Also taken were three antique prints of Chinese courtiers, each in plain 11-by-14-inch frames, dating to the 1890s.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Connecticut State Police, Southbury, Trooper Donald Nevins, at 203-264-5912.

After clips from "Argo" and two other best film nominees, host Seth McFarlane told a bad joke about how John Wilkes Booth was the first actor "to get inside Lincoln's head," then teased the "Argo" director and star Ben Affleck "went from starring in 'Gigli' to one of the most respected actors in Hollywood."
OK, that was more fact than joke.
Meanwhile, several awards were handed out to short and documentary films.
Malik Bendjelloul's "Searching for Sugar Man," about the obscure Detroit musician Rodriguez, won for best documentary.
Shawn Christensen's "Curfew" won for best live action short, while "Inocente," which chronicles a homeless teenage artist, won for best documentary short, inspiring co-directing Sean Fine to appeal to the artists in the crowd to support the arts.
Oh, and Baltimore Ravens and "Dancing With the Stars" fans take note: ABC teased to the reveal of the next "DWTS" cast by showing a clip of Ravens' WR and runback specialist Jacoby Jones.
