Reed v. Town of Gilbert, Arizona
The Supreme Court's decision in Reed v. Town of Gilbert, Arizona could upset sign codes nationally. Most sign codes, like Gilbert's, include different categories of temporary signs. It makes sense, for example, to give people more time to remove thousands of election signs and less time to remove a few yard sale signs. In this case the Court will decide whether local governments may regulate temporary directional signs differently than other temporary signs. The Court could rule, practically speaking, that all temporary signs must have the same time, place, and manner requirements.
Gilbert's Sign Code includes temporary directional signs, political signs, and ideological signs. After being notified that its temporary directional signs announcing the time and location of church services were displayed longer than allowed, the Good News church sued Gilbert. The church claimed Gilbert's Sign Code violates the First Amendment because temporary directional signs receive the less favorable treatment (in terms of size, location, duration, etc.) than political signs and ideological signs.
The Ninth Circuit ruled that Gilbert's Sign Code does not violate the First Amendment because the distinctions between the three sign categories are "content-neutral"; all signs in each category are treated the same regardless of their content even if the three categories of signs are treated differently. Because the lower court concluded that the sign categories are "content-neutral," it applied intermediate scrutiny rather than strict scrutiny. The different treatment of temporary signs would not serve a "compelling" government interest as strict scrutiny requires, but does serve a "significant" government interest as intermediate scrutiny requires.
The SLLC's amicus brief argues that Gilbert's Sign Code does not violate the First Amendment. Sign codes with multiple categories of temporary signs, usually classified by function, with their own time, place, and manner requirements, are common. And the fact that a temporary sign must be read to determine what kind of temporary sign it is does not render a sign code "content-based." Finally, even when the three categories of temporary signs at issue in this case are compared with each other, they are regulated by purpose, rather than by content, meaning strict scrutiny should not apply.

Direct Marketing Association v. Brohl
In Direct Marketing Association v. Brohl the Supreme Court will decide whether a federal court is barred from deciding a constitutional challenge to a Colorado law that requires remote sellers who don't collect state sales tax to comply with notice and reporting requirements.
Per the Supreme Court's 1992 decision in Quill Corp. v. North Dakota states cannot require retailers with no in-state physical presence to collect state sales tax. To improve tax collection, in 2010 the Colorado legislature began requiring remote sellers to inform Colorado purchasers annually of their purchases and send the same information to the Colorado Department of Revenue.
The Tax Injunction Act (TIA) states that federal courts may not "enjoin, suspend or restrain the assessment, levy or collection of any tax under State law" where a remedy is available in state court. Regardless, Direct Marketing Association (DMA) challenged the constitutionality of Colorado's law in federal court. DMA argued that the TIA does not apply in this case because DMA isn't a taxpayer and Colorado "neither imposes a tax, nor requires the collection of a tax, but serves only as a secondary aspect of state tax administration." The Tenth Circuit disagreed and dismissed DMA's lawsuit.
The State and Local Legal Center's (SLLC) amicus brief, filed in support of Colorado, points out that state and local governments are losing an estimated $23 billion in annual tax revenue to remote sales. DMA is seeking to invalidate third-party reporting requirements, which are an effective method of collecting such taxes. The SLLC's brief argues that DMA's lawsuit falls within the TIA's bar because DMA seeks to prevent the "assessment" and "collection" of a state tax and precedent indicates that it does not matter that DMA isn't a taxpayer.
Until Congress passes the Marketplace Fairness Act, which would authorize states to require remote vendors to collect sales tax, states will continue to experiment with methods to collect sales tax owed but not paid. According to NCSL, at least three other states (Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Vermont) have recently enacted reporting requirements on remote sellers.
Ron Parsons of Johnson, Heidepriem & Abdallah in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, wrote the SLLC's brief which was joined by all of the Big Seven and the Government Finance Officers Association.
Perez v. Mortgage Bankers Association
In Perez v. Mortgage Bankers Association the Court will decide whether a federal agency must engage in notice-and-comment rulemaking pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) before it can significantly alter an interpretive rule that interprets an agency regulation.
In 2006 the Department of Labor (DOL) issued an opinion letter stating that mortgage loan officers who work more than 40 hours a week were exempt from overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act. In 2010 DOL withdrew the opinion letter in an "Administrator's Interpretation" that reached the opposite conclusion. Since 1997 the D.C. Circuit's rule has been that if an interpretive rule is definitive and an agency makes a significant change to it, the agency must first conduct notice-and-comment rulemaking. The D.C. Circuit reasoned that significantly changing an interpretation of a regulation amounts to effectively changing the regulation, which requires notice-and-comment.
State and local governments often regulate in the same space as federal agencies and are often regulated by federal agencies. The SLLC's amicus brief argues that requiring notice-and-comment for significant changes to interpretations of regulations will maintain the balance between agency discretion and reliance interests the APA was designed to protect. It also argues that allowing state and local governments to weigh in on problematic interpretations is far more efficient than state and local governments challenging them through litigation. And allowing greater state and local participation in the process will avoid or at least limit the risk to federalism posed by ever-expanding agency authority.

Alabama Department of Revenue v. CSX Transportation
Does a state discriminate against rail carriers in violation of federal law even when rail carriers pay less in total state taxes than motor carriers? No, argues a State and Local Legal Center (SLLC) Supreme Court amicus brief in Alabama Department of Revenue v. CSX Transportation. Forty-two states exempt motor carriers from sales tax on diesel fuel.
Rail carriers (railroads) in Alabama pay a four percent sales tax on diesel fuel. Motor carriers (trucks) pay an excise tax of 19-cents per gallon and no sales tax. The Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act (4-R) prohibits state and local governments from imposing taxes that discriminate against railroads. Since CSX filed its complaint, railroads paid less in sales tax than trucks paid in excise tax. But, the Eleventh Circuit refused to compare the total taxation of railroads and trucks to avoid the "Sisyphean burden of evaluating the fairness of the State's overall tax structure." Instead it concluded Alabama's sales tax on railroads violates 4-R because Alabama's competitors don't pay it.
The SLLC brief argues that given state's traditional power to tax the Court should interpret 4-R narrowly. The brief suggests the Court could take three approaches to rule in favor of Alabama. First, it could compare the tax treatment of rail carriers to all commercial and industrial taxpayers in the state (who all pay sales tax) instead of only railroad competitors. Second, the Court could ignore the labels of sales and excise tax and compare the amount railroads and their competitors pay in total taxes. Third, the Court could note the relevant differences between railroads and their competitors. For example, water carriers traditionally have been exempt from all taxes on diesel fuel because of constitutional concerns about taxing vessels in navigable waters.
Finally the SLLC brief points out that "[r]uling in favor of CSX would threaten States' ability to take in tax revenue, an ability already impeded by current economic conditions. This Court must not allow 4-R to shield CSX—a $12 billion nationwide corporation—and other rail carriers from paying millions of dollars in taxes that fund vital public services. Congress did not intend for 4-R to enrich large corporations by impoverishing the States."

T-Mobile South v. City of Roswell
In T-Mobile South v. City of Roswell the Supreme Court will decide whether a letter denying a cell tower construction application that doesn't explain the reasons for the denial meets the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (TCA) "in writing" requirement.
T-Mobile applied to construct a 108-foot cell tower in an area zoned single-family residential. The City of Roswell's ordinance only allowed "alternative tower structures" in such a zone that were compatible with "the natural setting and surrounding structures." T-Mobile proposed an "alternative tower structure" in the shape of a man-made tree that would be about 25-feet taller than the pine trees surrounding it.
After a hearing, where city councilmembers stated various reasons for why they were going to vote against the application, Roswell sent T-Mobile a brief letter saying the application was denied and that T-Mobile could obtain hearing minutes from the city clerk.
The TCA requires that a state or local government's decision denying a cell tower construction permit be "in writing." The district court and other circuit courts have held that the TCA requires a written decision and a written record that explain why the city council's majority rejected the application. The district court granted T-Mobile's application.
The Eleventh Circuit disagreed relying on a plain reading of the statute. The TCA doesn't say that "the decision [must] be 'in a separate writing' or in a 'writing separate from the transcript of the hearing and the minutes of the meeting in which the hearing was held' or 'in a single writing that itself contains all of the grounds and explanations for the decision.'"
The State and Local Legal Center (SLLC) amicus brief takes the position that the "in writing" requirement is met when a local government issues a written denial letter and the reasons for its decision can be gleaned from written minutes or a transcript. The brief argues that T-Mobile's interpretation of "in writing" to mean local governments must issue a separate written decision with formal findings and conclusions "is not supported by the plain text of the statute, by its legislative history, by the weight of precedent, or by considerations of public policy." The brief also points out the practical effect of T-Mobile's position would be to impose "substantial new costs and burdens on local governments, without providing any benefit in terms of facilitating the granting of meritorious wireless siting applications."

In Comptroller v. Wynne the Court will determine whether the U.S. Constitution requires states to give a credit for taxes paid on income earned out-of-state.
Forty-three states and nearly 5,000 local governments tax residents' income. Many of these jurisdictions do not provide a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for income taxes paid to other states on income earned out-of-state. A decision against Maryland's Comptroller in this case will limit state and local government taxing authority nationwide.
The Wynnes of Howard County, Maryland, received S-corporation income that was generated and taxed in numerous states. Maryland's Tax Code includes a county tax. While Maryland law allowed the Wynnes to receive a tax credit against their Maryland state taxes for income taxes paid to other states, it did not allow them to claim a credit against their Maryland county taxes.
Maryland's highest state court held that Maryland's failure to grant a credit against Maryland's county tax violated the U.S. Constitution's dormant Commerce Clause, which denies states the power to unjustifiably discriminate against or burden interstate commerce. Among other things, the Maryland Court of Appeals noted that if every state imposed a county tax without a credit, interstate commerce would be disadvantaged. Taxpayers who earn income out of state would be "systematically taxed at higher rates relative to taxpayers who earn income entirely within their home state."
The State and Local Legal Center (SLLC)/International Municipal Lawyers Association (IMLA) amicus brief points out that state and local governments must make complex policy choices and tradeoffs when devising a taxing system. If Maryland was required to provide a dollar-for-dollar tax credit, a neighbor with substantial out-of-state income would contribute significantly less to pay for local services than a neighbor earning the same income in-state, even though both take equal advantage of local services. And to counterbalance a dollar-for-dollar tax credit, a county would need to raise some other tax, which would fall disproportionately on some other neighbor and often be more regressive. The brief argues that Maryland's policy choice to avoid these results "does not cross any constitutional line."
Paul Clement and Zack Tripp of Bancroft wrote the SLLC/IMLA brief. The National Conference of State Legislatures, the National League of Cities, the National Association of Counties, the International City/County Management Association, the United States Conference of Mayors, and the Government Finance Officers Association joined the brief.
North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners v. FTC
The Court will decide in North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners v. FTC whether state boards with members who are market participants elected by their peers must be "actively supervised" to be exempt from federal antitrust law.
The North Carolina State Board of Dental Examiners is a state agency primarily made up of dentists elected by other dentists. The Board, which has the power to enjoin the unlicensed practice of dentistry, successfully expelled non-dentist providers from the North Carolina teeth-whitening market. The Federal Trade Commission found that the Board engaged in unfair competition in violation of federal antitrust law.
The state action doctrine exempts states from federal antitrust law. It applies to private parties if they are acting pursuant to a clear state policy of anti-competition and are being actively supervised by the state; substate actors only have to be acting pursuant to a clear state policy. The Board argued that it does not need to be actively supervised because it is a state agency. The lower court disagreed concluding that when the majority of a state agency is made up of market participants who are chosen and accountable to fellow market participants, active supervision is required. The court reasoned that a state agency may not "foster anti-competitive practices for the benefit of its members."
The SLLC's brief points out that states typically have hundreds of boards and commissions that are prohibited by state law from engaging in self-interested decision making, meaning active supervision is unnecessary. The SLLC's brief also argues that precedent and the practical difficulty of actively supervising hundreds of boards and commissions indicate active supervision should not be required.
Seth P. Waxman, Thomas G. Sprankling, and Alan Schoenfeld of WilmerHale wrote the SLLC's brief. The National Governors Association, the National Conference of State Legislatures, and the Council of State Governments joined the brief.

Volvo S60
bearfoot Posts: 1Hi Everybody. I'm thinking about buying a S60R within 2 weeks and have some questions.
1.How much is the Sport Pkg cost?
2.Any rebates for purchasing,not leasing?
3.How much everybody paying for this car?
--Silver/blue, Premium pkg, Climate pkg, 18" Ti wheels, Sport pkg.
-- Is it possible to buy the car for $500 over invoice since demand is so low?
4. Anybody could explain why OSD is the cheaper way to buy the car?
-- I still have to pay the state sale tax, right?
Thanks in advance
I'm coming off a lease with a C70 coupe using a car seat for my 13 month old son. The 2 door car is a real pain with a kid...plus those seats in the C70 are very slow. That's one of the reasons I'm considering turning in the coupe in favor of an S60...probably a 2.5T with sport package 5 sp geartronic so I can still "shift" when I want. My C70 is a 5 sp manual and I'm getting tired of shifting.
How does the car seat work in the S60. Any brand recommendations? Thanks.
iumbastu Posts: 4If the lease is a 48 month lease then that's where the source of 44%. Remember the term is important to consider when discussing RV factors.
You can click here you can see what the ALG RV is:
http://cars.com/carsapp/national/?szc=02446&srv=lease&act- - =rv&mknm=Volvo&mdnm=S60+SERIES&yr=2004&mr=&x=- - 10&y=7
I'm wondering if anybody out there has seen the S60 in nautic blue....how's it look?....I'm seriously considering the S60 2.5T FWD with the geartronic transmission,(any comments on that?), heated seats, dolby surround sound, heated seats, sports seats in beige, moonroof....ie. loaded. When I price that out on the volvo site it comes to around $37,600.
Any thoughts on how to best approach the dealer on pricing for this because I'm ending my C70(also nautic blue) lease in May so I'd probably have to order this car....or should I just risk it and wait and see what's on the lot at the time my lease is up (which I don't really want...but maybe the deal would be better). I am definitely buying my next car.
scott31 Posts: 280That lease is terrible. I leased a '99 STS that stickered at $52,505.00 for 3 years for $721.38 a month. With NOTHING up front, I rolled all fees, taxes, etc into the lease.
With a $3500 rebate and such, etc, the payments on that Volvo should be MUCH lower for a 48 month lease.
Don't do it.
P.S. My '95 Legend LS Coupe stickered at $43,970 and I leased it at $659.70. I also rolled EVERYTHING into that lease plus the $4000 I was upsidedown in my '92 Vigor, plus MD charge an EXTRA 5% lease tax to every payment back then. Bottom line is that Volvo lease bites.
Its impossible to compare using lease deals from other manufacturers under different circumstances in a different year. For instance, knowing Caddy of recent years gone by, that car may have stickered for over $50K, but between all the factory to customer incentives, factory to dealer incentives, and deep discounting to invoice, it makes a BIG difference on luxo-American cars. Then on the Acura, that just illustrates the point I made earlier about the extremely strong residuals on Honda/Acura vehicles, and it shows in their leases. Comparing a Volvo lease to a Volvo lease is the only true way to determine what is good and what is bad.

I am trying to purchase an S60 2.5T AWD sedan. Carsdirect.com gives a target price of $29278.00 for this car with premium package (no xenon lights, no DSTC), in New York and New Jersey area.
1) Is this goal achievabvle? Or this price is too low? This price includes a $3000 incentive which will expire on 2/29/04.
2) Should I add DSTC (in Northeast, we have had a very bad snowy winter and I drive from NJ to CT twice a week.)?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I just got a quote for an S60 AWD
Black Sapphire or Silver metallic color.
Premium package.
No DSTC. No Xenon lights.
I am trying to ask the dealer to give me Edmunds price which is $33307-$3000 incentive = $30307.
It seems it is difficult to get a deal based on carsdirect.com's target price, $29278.
How do you think about this quote?
First: everyone's input is much appreciated.
Final negotiated deal:
Term 48mos
Residual: 44% or 18,381 (right in line w/ ALG)
Intial Cap Cost: 41,225 (gave me 500 off)
Adj. Cap Cost: 42,162 (acq. + filing - 297 of 4500 rebate)
Money Factor: .00185 (roughly 4.44%)
Monthly Pay before taxes: 607.43
Cash to me ($3500 rebate + 1mos 607.43) or 4107.43
No $$ down.
All service through 36,000 miles included
I feel the deal is fair now imho
S60-R w/ 18', premium & climate, 6spd
Happy hunting. I pick it up at mos end
1. Thank you very much yk40. I will email you in a few minutes.
2. To qbrozen: if you mean that I should try to buy a car from carsdirect, here are the answers. I did call carsdirect. A Rep told me that if I see TARGET PRICE on the screen, they do not sell it. If I see CONFIGURATED PRICE, they have the car. I then assume cars like VOLVO, AUDI, BMW will not be sold by carsdirect.
Hi all,
We're about to buy a new S60 for my wife, and I'm a little confused about the information on the Edmunds site about the rebates available on this car. I would like to ask if anyone knows what is really available:
The incentives section shows the following:
- $1000 Factory cash rebate to customers
- $1000 Marketing support to dealers
- $3500 Marketing support to dealers
Are the $1000 and $3500 marketing support amounts additive, or does the $3500 replace the $1000 support? Also, is there really an additional $1000 factory cash to customers? Is there really $4500 - or $5500 - of rebate available on this car?
Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated - we want to buy the car this week, and like everyone else, want to spend as little as possible.
Thank you!
Bought in Marietta, GA -Chris Volvo- Sept 03.
2004 Model S60 2.5T A SR
Ice White
Suggested list price 29310
Sport Package 795
Premium package 2595
Destination charge 685
Total suggested retail 33385
I paid 29185. Only 4200 difference. After reading some of these postings it looks like I left 1000 or more on the table. Perhaps you are looking at one with more options?
glevitt Posts: 30Hey everyone. Just got these numbers(from the lease forum) for the S60R, these are good through the end of the month.
36 mo. 12k/yr. - .00041 money factor 55% residual
48 mo. 12k/yr. - .00041 money factor 46% residual
lease through someone else and get $4500 in alernate finance lease cash.
When I was at the dealership on Saturday he thought I was making this up until I really pressed him on it. If you aren't being given these numbers, take a walk.
If anyone has bought an R in Colorado I would love to know what you paid.
Anybody out there using dedicated 17" winter tires (not all season) tires on an S60? I'm looking at buying an S60 2.5T with sport package that comes with the TETHYS 17" 235/45/R17 Pirelli P6 all season tires. I'm a little concerned about how they'll handle in the snow/ice. Granted I only live in Indianapolis but we do get a fair amount of winter weather. Heck, my neighborhood street is about 2" thick with ice for the past 3 weeks.
I'm wondering if I should stick with the 16" all season tires or do you think the 17" all season tires will be good enough for a central Indiana winter. One more thought would be to replace the wheels/tires to 16" for the winter but I don't really want to pay that much.
On my T5, I have steel wheels with 215/55r16 Michelin Arctic Alpins. I have the Thors rims with Dunlop SP8000s for summer which greatly improve summer fun.
The Michelins are amazing and pretty quiet for a winter tire. I think that you can get the 16s on rims for the price of 17s...go for the 16s. In fact, the size I have is the standard T5 tire.

Richmond Federal Reserve Bank President Jeffrey Lacker argues in a new essay that the Fed should break its cycle of lending to financial institutions in a crisis to curb risky behavior in the future and prevent more bailouts.
In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, some observers have argued that "financial stability" should become a core mission of the Fed. But Lacker and co-author Renee Haltom say the Fed should stick to the central bank's core mission of managing short-term interest rates to maintain low and stable inflation.
"A broad and ill-defined financial stability mandate for the Fed would contribute to the cycle of crisis and intervention," the authors write in an essay accompanying the Richmond Fed's 2013 annual report, released Wednesday.
The Richmond Fed's territory covers the Carolinas, and its examiners regulate Charlotte-based Bank of America.
During the crisis, the Fed provided financing as part of bailouts for failing financial firms Bear Stearns and AIG and helped other creditors by using emergency lending to bolster asset prices, write Lacker and Haltom, the editorial content manager in the Richmond Fed's research department. But a "well-functioning financial system must allow firms to fail, even if they are large and interconnected," they contend.
Since becoming Richmond Fed president in 2004, Lacker has gained attention for his dissenting views. He has frequently criticized banking industry bailouts and voted against the Fed's buying of mortgage-backed bonds as a way to stimulate the economy, citing concerns about the Fed's ballooning balance sheet.
Top banking regulators, however, have defended their efforts to stabilize the financial system in 2008 and 2009, arguing it prevented a much bigger meltdown and further economic catastrophe.
In his new book "Stress Test: Reflections on Financial Crises," Tim Geithner, the former Treasury secretary and New York Fed president, contrasted his aggressive efforts with Lacker's resistance to bank rescues and his focus on containing inflation.
"I found the more hawkish obsessions with moral hazard and inflation during a credit crunch bizarre and frustrating," Geithner wrote. "Recession seemed a more plausible threat than inflation."
In their essay, Lacker and Haltom argue that "Living Wills" – plans submitted by large banks under the Dodd-Frank financial reform act that show how a bank can be taken apart in bankruptcy – are a promising way to scale back expectations that financial institutions will be rescued in an emergency.
"The real lesson of the Fed's first 100 years is that the best contribution the Fed can make to financial stability is to pursue its monetary stability mandate faithfully and abstain from credit market interventions that promote moral hazard," the authors write. The Fed celebrated its 100th anniversary on Dec. 13.

Saks Incorporated Announces Results For The Second Quarter And Six Months Ended July 28, 2012
For the prior year six months ended July 30, 2011, the Company recorded net income of $20.0 million, or $.12 per diluted share. Those results included after-tax charges totaling $2.9 million composed of the aforementioned pension and related benefit charge, third-party receivable write-down, and asset impairment charge totaling $1.8 million, $1.8 million of store closing expenses, a $0.3 million loss on debt extinguishment (related to the early retirement of approximately $1.9 million of senior notes) and the aforementioned reversal of approximately $1.0 million in state income tax reserves. Excluding these after-tax charges, the Company would have recorded net income of $22.9 million, or $.14 per share, for the six months ended July 30, 2011.
Comments on the Second Quarter and Six Months Ended July 28, 2012
Stephen I. Sadove, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, noted, "While our second quarter results (before certain items) were approximately flat with the prior year second quarter results, we were able to post a modest increase in year-over-year net income (before certain items) for the six months in spite of a challenging economic environment.
"Our comparable store sales increases of 4.7% in both the second quarter and six months were on top of very strong 15.5% and 12.7% increases in the second quarter and first six months of last year, respectively. As expected, we experienced gross margin rate deterioration and SG&A deleverage (excluding certain items) during the quarter and first half."Several merchandise categories showed sales strength during the second quarter, including women's and men's contemporary apparel, women's and men's shoes, fashion and fine jewelry, and cosmetics and fragrances. The New York City flagship store sales performance was positive but modestly below the comparable store sales performance of the Company's Saks Fifth Avenue stores in the aggregate during the quarter.

Well, I'm not surprised!

We went for the ADHD eval on Tuesday.
|Sat, 02-13-2010 - 4:57pm
I was a little surprised, too, but it seems to becoming more and more commonplace to do an evaluation and talk to the parents for an initial diagnosis.
|Fri, 02-12-2010 - 7:24pm
Glad you got some answers, but I am surprised they started Vyvanse at 30, and eval'd in one visit?
|Fri, 02-12-2010 - 4:51pm
Welcome! That's terrific what your daughter said. I got a chuckle out of that! My seven year old son recently described ADHD as feeling like he can't control his body.
I can relate to the doctor's appt. That's just what our son would do, too. Visit the behavioral therapist and psychiatrist's office was a relief because it was the first time I didn't have to try to correct every behavior or apologize. They knew exactly what we were dealing with!
Best of luck to you! I hope Vyvanse proves to be a winner for her and that the side effects/rebound gets better over time.

One of my favorite MAC e/s. I wear it with Satin Taupe for a super easy but great looking eye look!
This is my HG highlight shadow, and I don't use 'HG' very freely! I just love the affect I get from this and I can even use it to highlight the top of my cheekbones. I'm a big fan of What Not To Wear and try to use makeup tips from Carmindy. I love the way her skin seems to glow from within and wondered what she uses on top of her cheekbones. She may not use Phloof, but I get the same highlight affect if I sweep this very lightly on the top of my cheekbones; it doesn't take much. Very pretty for evening. Fabulous multitasking shade, so I will definitely purchase again!
My other HG highlighting shade next to Nylon! I like Phloof as a highlight when I wear e/s in the pink/plum family! Use this to highlight inner corners of eyes (tear duct area), brow bone, and inner third of lids to tone down too dark shadows! Great color! Does the job for me! :o)
Another good basic e/s from MAC. There are a lot of their e/s I have yet to purchase but this one was on the top of my list based on reviews here. I'm not disappointed either. I really like this shade...it's a frosty off-white shade but seems to have some pink in it. I think I'd like to pair this w/ Swish when I get my hands on that one.
This is my HG shadow. When you dont have a blush, lightly use a blush brush and put some phloof on the cheeks under the eyes. THis is a perfect color to use as a brow high lighter. This shows up to be a gorgeous every day shadow with some shimmer/frost when its applied in numerous layers on the lid. Absolutely love this, own 2 at one time always, one in the train case at home and one in my purse!
Applied sparingly as a wash of color, this can be a very nice subtle browbone highlighter that coordinates well w/ many other e/s. Like others have said, it can become quite frosty when applied w/ a heavy hand. All in all, great lasting power and blendability.
I use this as a brow highlight and it works nicely. Careful not to apply too much - it's VERY frosty if you get crazy.
It's a very frosty whitish e/s, I would say not 100% white but it has a little pink in it too! I don't wear it so much because it's very frosty and it looks so white on my brown eyes, but it's perfect as a brow highlighter for a night look! This Mac e/s it's not so blendable but it's very pigmented!
I *love* Phloof! It's a really gorgeous highlighting shade that looks great with pink and purple eye shadows. I agree with the reviewer below who said it gives them a much more "done" look like MAC SA's always have. I will definitely repurchase Phloof when I run out.
Very nice color. I wear it on the brows as a highlighter, combined with Swish, it looks very pretty. I would definately buy this once I hit the pan, (& I will, as I use it all the time)!

Tollywood director Sekhar Kammula's latest bilingual venture Anaamika is likely to hit the screens on Dasara this year. The director is currently filming with the cast at Murgi Market, Choodi Bazaar, Sultan Bazaar, Charminar and Begum Bazaar in the city and plans to complete shooting by mid-July.
The film is slated for release in Tamil and Telugu as well. Anaamika also marks the debut of Sekhar Kammula in Tamil cinema. Kammula's first film Dollar Dreams was a critical success and won him the National Film Award for best debutant director.
A press release issued by actor Nayantara, who plays the lead role in the movie, said, "It's an honour to have worked with a critically-acclaimed and award-winning director like Sekhar. I am thrilled to be a part of this project which gave me an opportunity to play the lead protagonist of a strong female character. With a completely new look in Anaamika, I hope that the audiences would appreciate the film and my role."

Japan's Abe wants to explain shrine visit to China, South Korea
Published on Jan 6, 2014 3:38 PM
TOKYO - Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he was keen to hold a dialogue with the leaders of China and South Korea to explain his recent visit to Yasukuni war shrine that infuriated the two countries.
"There should be no preconditions, but leaders should be frank and have talks. I hope China and South Korea will take the same position," Mr Abe said on Monday at a New Year news conference after visiting the sacred Ise Shrine in Mie prefecture, western Japan,
"Seeking dialogue with China and South Korea is extremely important for the peace and security of this region... the door for dialogue is open," he said.
Mr Abe infuriated Beijing and Seoul with a surprise visit to the controversial Yasukuni war Shrine in central Tokyo on Dec 26, the first by a premier in seven years.

Employed '09 and '10 grads: Are you where you wanted to be? - page 3
First let me write that I am super thankful to be gainfully employed as a new grad RN...so this isn't a rant thread. I'm just curious to know if you landed a job in the area that you wanted when you were in school? Also, if you... Read More
- 0Jul 24, '10 by Bortaz, RN, ADNRight department (NICU) but not the city I'd hoped I'd be in. Worked out very well so far, though.
- 0Jul 24, '10 by ReWrittenI graduated in May, passed NCLEX in June, and I was just hired for MedSurg/Telemetry. I don't actually start for another week. It's not in the hospital I want (But hospitals in Dallas are pretty much done hiring new grads right now), nor the floor I desire, but I'm soooo thankful to get a job so quickly! Plus, I'm not terribly far from my home. I think the experience I gain on this floor will help me tons before I work myself into ER or ICU.
- 0Jul 26, '10 by cutegrltoyaRNSo yea no I am not where I want to be. I got my RN license Jan 2010, currently working for a home health agency, no benefits, PRN. It pays some of the bills, but I really want to be working in a hospital on a L&D unit. Right now any position in the hospital would be great. The agency I work for is only for children so I would love to work on a peds floor or mother baby, but L&D is my dream job, hope to one day be a NP for women's care so I guess applying for 1000s of jobs hasn't worked for me yet, but I hope those endless internet job search hours will pay off soon!
- 0Jul 26, '10 by Work in ProgressNot at all. I just got a job on a Med/Surg/Tele that specializes in medically unstable eating disorder patients. I feel lucky to be able to feed my family, but I am bummed out that I am working in the area that I dislike the most. When the job market was good I always said I wanted to start in L&D, but my second choice is anything but med surg or psych. Now I get a little of both. I know it will be valuable experience and I am very grateful to be at a hospital with great benefits and pay for the area and a good team. Who would have thought, when we decided to go for nursing, that it was going to be this way?
- 0Jul 26, '10 by JoyfulRN14I ended up just where I wanted to be. I graduated May 2010, passed NCLEX June 2010, and just started my job today. After doing my ICU rotation, I knew that was where I saw myself fitting. The job I just started is a 17 week critical care internship, rotating between CVICU, ICU, and ED. The hospital is AMAZING, offers great benefits, the best pay for a new grad in the area, and staff seems very supportive of us.
There are 16 of us doing this internship, we all met today for orientation and it seems like it's going to be a great team.
I feel very lucky!
- 0Jul 26, '10 by NewAggieGrad09Hey all! I graduated nursing school in May 2009. Passed NCLEX at the end of August, and started my first RN job as a New Grad in Dec 2009. Even though my first choice was labor and delivery, it is not easy to start there as a new grad. I am working on a general medical floor at a pediatric hospital in DC....which was my second choice. I had been trying for months and months to get in here, as well as otehr hospitals, and I am just so elated that my former nurse manager saw something in me that others did not (we merged into a bigger floor with the respiratory care unit, and my former nurse manager manages two different units now ). I am learning a lot, and even though I have some days where I really don't want to come to work (I'm only human lol), I am very blessed and happy to have this position; it took a lot of tears, frustration, and work to get here. Good luck to all those who are still hunting and don't give up.
- 0Jul 28, '10 by kxvcI have been a registered nurse for exactly one year and four days. I miraculously landed my dream job in the ED at the facility I already worked at. When I stepped into the interview all I knew was it was for an ED in the region.
Fast forward to now... I love my job. I love the people I work with. I have earned the respect of my managers, the docs/PAs, and my co-workers, and I know this because they have made it known to me. I knew the ED was the place for me from the start.
I am now looking into working as a nurse abroad in the future. A job I was recently offered by a friend. I never imagined those opportunities would be available to me this soon in my career.

Do you ever get in a salad slump? Bored with your current go-to dressing, or bored of your go-to veggies?
This happens to me every once in a while. Instead of grabbing a piece of Baker's chocolate and calling it a day, I flipped through a random cookbook and saw a Berry Dressing. This dressing, however, contained a whopping 1/2 cup of sugar! Who needs added sugar in a recipe with naturally-sweet berries?
So, with a bag of frozen berries in one hand and a bundle of curly kale in the other, I started to the kitchen to create a fresh lunch. Full of vitamins and bursting with citrus flavor, I was ready to take on the hot, humid day.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Yield: 1 1/2 cups dressing
~This dressing is Dairy-free, Gluten-free, Low-fat, Vegan, Paleo, Soy-free, Corn-free, and Sugar-free.
Health Benefits:
Thought-provoking, mind-prodding question of the day:
Build you perfect salad! Tell me what it has on it below. Does it have veggies, meat, nuts, dressing, herbs? (Links welcome)

CALIFORNIAN: Community Arts for Sept. 13-19, 2012
Inland Stage to present 'Evil Dead: The Musical'
SAN JACINTO ---- The Inland Stage Company is excited to present "Evil Dead: The Musical" starting Sept. 20.
"We've been wanting to do this show since 2006, when it was brought to me by a friend," said ISC Artistic Director Jim Marbury. According to Marbury, it has never been a question of whether or not ISC had the talent to do the show, but a question of the technical challenges this show requires.
"There's a lot of blood, a decapitation, and folks getting eviscerated on stage in front of the audience, so we had to be in a space where we could do such things and have the technical staff to pull it off," he said. "We do now, so I jumped on the chance."
"Evil Dead" started off as a tribute show in Canada, then was produced in Seattle, and then off-Broadway (with Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi in the audience).
"Our cast is fantastic and some of the most talented actors we've ever had on our stage," Marbury said.
Winston Peacock, who plays the chainsaw-wielding hero, Ash, was last seen on the ISC stage in "The Last Five Years" and as Dr. Frank N. Furter in "The Rocky Horror Show."
"I have watched this movie since I was a kid, and when I found out it was a musical I knew I had to do it," Peacock said. "It is a perfect comedy, with references from all the horror movies. It kind of reminds me of the type of comedy shows you see during Halloween time at Universal Studios or Knott's. This show has great music and great jokes that everyone will fall out of their seats with laughter."
Yvonne Flack plays his girlfriend, Linda, with Joe Baca, Janine Wills and Samantha Korich rounding out the other five college students who head out to the haunted cabin in the woods.
There are also "Deadite Zombies," a strange man who wanders through the woods played by Chris Gates, and two researchers, played by Paola Cifuentes and Adam Faglay, all who are veterans of last season's "The Rocky Horror Show."
"Evil Dead: The Musical" plays at 8 p.m. Sept. 20-22, 27-29 and Oct. 4-6 and at midnight Sept. 22, 29 and Oct. 6. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at inlandstage.org. Thursdays are 'Pay What You Can Night," with a suggested $5 donation.
The Esplanade Art Center is at 2181 W. Esplanade Ave., San Jacinto. Call 951-600-7273, Ext. 100.
IVS plans a 'Tale as Old as Time'
MENIFEE ---- For its 2012-13 season opener on Sept. 22, the Inland Valley Symphony, conducted by Maestro Anthony Parnther, will feature the music and visuals of Disney, showcasing four Broadway-style vocalists in "Tale as Old as Time."
This multimedia experience includes large screen projections of film clips and Disney animations accompanied by live orchestral music including "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes," "Bella Notte," "Part of Your World" and "Beauty and the Beast."

Banned or Challenged Books Kids Should Read
These top picks for children and teens for Banned Books Week – happening Sept. 30-Oct. 6, 2012 – carry lots of lessons in life and imagination
(page 4 of 10)
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. by Judy Blume
From periods and learning to kiss to training bras, sixth-grade Margaret discusses her major life changes, and often directs the discussion to God. It made the ALA's top-100 most challenged and banned books list during the 1990s and the early 2000s.
Reasons it's been challenged: It's been challenged for being inappropriate for age groups and for having sexually explicit material.
Why kids should read it: The book can be a teaching tool to show young girls about bodily changes and social changes they're starting to experience in the sixth grade.
Suggested reader age group: 10-12+ years old because of the book's focus on the life of a sixth-grade girl.
