Picked this up on a whim...so glad I did! It doesn't feel waxy, it makes my lips feel very silky and soft. Lasting power isn't the best in the universe, but I don't find myself reapplying more often than regular lip balms.
I love that the smell of it isn't overpowering and it has no taste for me to eventually start hating. Will definitely repurchase when this runs out!
Also, my lips are in better condition when they are bare now that I've started using this product.
I like this much better than the Desert Essence tea tree one. It feels so smooth on your lips and it does a good job of moisturizing.
Most lip balms feel like pure wax on my lips, not at all moisturizing. This lip balm simply feels soft and, well, oily, which is exactly what I want it to feel like given my otherwise Sahara-dry lips. It also has a very slight scent, sweet and flowery, which I can smell in the tube but not once I apply it. It has no discernible taste. I love that it has neither distracting scent nor taste. I use different lip balms, depending on my needs at the moment, and this product is one of my staples.
Ingredients: Soybean oil, beeswax, candellia wax, ozokerite, carnauba, shea butter, ginkgo, rosemary, vitamin E, propyl gallate, essential oil of mint.

I have been a devotee of Burt's Bees lip balm for well over a decade (now I feel old, thanks MUA), but about 6 months ago it just wasn't cutting anymore. I've always had dry skin, and especially dry lips, which the BB generally kept under control. but as I said it got to the point of just not cutting it anymore, so I went on the hunt for something new. I came out with this. it irked me a little to spend almost $3 on lip balm, but I was desperate, and I had good luck with other products from the line. I was also a little put-off by the thin, silky texture of this; I falsely equated "waxy" with "moisturizing". this though, it VERY moisturizing. it turned my lips from, well, sand papery mess, to silk in a matter of a few days. I now apply this religiously AM & PM and have had silky smooth lips throughout the months, and I haven't had to repurchase yet.
I kept this lip balm by my bed and applied it nightly. Just ran out yesterday, so after one full tube I thought I'd give it a review. It has a great smooth/wet texture and tastes/smells good. The only drawback is that it seems far less waxy than other brands and therefore wore off rather quickly. I found myself needing to reapply it frequently. I'm sure it would be quite moisturizing if I could just get it to stick around longer. Probably won't repurchase for this reason.

This is a super-moisturizing lip balm with no harmful ingredients. I love the thin, silky texture and sweet, creamsicle flavor. My lips have been great since using this balm before bed, even with daily use of a salicylic acid wash, which really dries my lips. This balm is very shiny and pretty on its own, but because it can be melty, it needs to be blotted before applying additional lip products.
Makes my lips really soft, and tastes like an orange creamsicle or something just as delicious. A little bit greasy though.
I got this on a whim as i couldnt find my Neals Yard Lip Balm. It was 2.60euros in a health food shop. It comes in a nice twist 'n' go tube - which is clean and easy to use. It smells kind of sweet - like honey. Its is of a greasy consistency (which has been mentioned by others) - it is also quite shiny when on your lips - but pretty.
On initial application it is very soothing. It does not require you to keep reapplying it - as some other lip balms do.
Some people have said that it contains ingredients that cause your lips to dry out etc....i think the proof is in the usage of the product and i feel this is quite a good lip balm & i may repurchase.
This lip balm is a very soft formulation. The shape of the stick is constantly shifting. I took off the 1 lippie because of this. It is white in color, goes on clear. I think the texture is just between creamy and greasy. That is, it isn't really either. Closer to greasy than creamy, though. A little goes a long way. Since the formula isn't really as solid as it could be, one swipe across your lips gets a lot of the balm on. It is as moisturizing as any balm, but not more so. The taste is slightly bad. Not fruity, just kind of like what you would expect something with no flavor added to taste like. I like that it has actual African shea butter listed as an ingredient. Ingredients are soybean oil, beeswax, candelilla wax, ozokerite, carnauba, shea butter, ginkgo, rosemary, vitamin e, propyl gallate, essential oil of mint. You can't taste any mint in this balm, though.
I just heard that petroleum does not "digest" in the body, and can just sit there forever. This doesn't have it, so that's good!

Ryan Leaf's Arrest
You've probably heard that Ryan Leaf was arrested yesterday on burglary, theft and drug charges in Great Falls, Mont., his hometown.
I was saddened by the news. Leaf, by all accounts, seemed to have kicked his addiction to pain-killers and was on the road back.
He had written a book about his final season at Washington State and planned to write two more.
We talked to him on "The Kevin Calabro Show" this week, and he sounded great. We had him on the show, not so much to talk about him, but to get his thoughts on Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III.
Leaf offered his insight on each QB, recalling that the top of the 1998 draft had a lot in common with the 2012 draft – back then, the Colts were trying to decide between Manning and Leaf, and now they're choosing between Luck and Griffin.
Leaf told me later in a text that it felt good to not be the subject of an interview. He wants to be a TV football analyst and was interested in working for the Pac-12 Network, which launches later this year.
Maybe he'll still get that opportunity. But obviously if the charges ultimately lead to some kind of conviction, he could end up in jail. Leaf is already serving a 10-year suspended sentence relating to drug charges in Texas in April 2010.
I don't know a damn thing about drug addiction, but it must be overwhelmingly powerful stuff. The Ryan Leaf that I've come to know over the past couple of years is not a Ryan Leaf who would throw his new life away. The old Ryan Leaf would've thrown all kinds of stuff away, but not this one.
I'll continue to stick up for the guy. And I'll hope that when the details come out, there will be some extenuating circumstances that will make the situation look better than it does right now.

I'm with ya' and I agree!! I'm not a Wazzu alum, but I support Leaf and think you are 100% correct.
I am a Cougar. My kids are Cougars and we have all dealt in various ways with the sickness of drug addiction. We have seen it destroy the best of people and I can't thank you enough for being supportive of someone who needs help. Cougs don't throw away each other. We help to the bitter end. May God Bless You.
Hey Husky fan here and just wanted to express my sympathies for this situation. I read Leaf's book and it seemed he had turned a corner, sad to see him relapse. Hopefully he can beat this thing. I know we like to joke around when it comes to sports, but this is something bigger than sports and no matter what program you follow you hope Leaf can overcome this.
I am sure curious what your take would be had Leaf been a Husky.
Leaf is either sick or an ________! or both! You fill in the blank. Ok it's one thing to be addicted, and it's another thing to use it as an excuse to be belligerant! You heard he got arrested again 48hrs later for the same thing! Like Proverbs 26:11 says, "As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool repeats his folly" The guy needs some serious something! God!
Jim: I agree with your assessment (written elsewhere) that Leaf deserves support not scorn, but I'm having difficulty dealing with the apparent hypocrisy of it all.
I was in Montana when the story broke and there was more than just the theft of prescription drugs from an acquaintence. Leaf was arrested with a second unlabeled bottle of a controlled substance. It appears that he had, for quite a while, been receiving frequent shipments of expensive COD packages which were said to rattle as if they contained pills. According to reports, all of these packages originated from the same source in Florida — which is reputed to provide illegal drugs for a price.
If true, this means that Leaf was still doing the illegal drugs while he was self-promoting his recovery from addiction. I can forgive a repeat drug offender, but not the hipocrisy inherent in claiming recovery, while still doing the drugs.
Don't know for sure if this is the case, but if it is, then this is where I part company with the Leaf supporters. And if so, with great saddness, I can only conclude that he deserves to be sentenced to serious prison time.
Go Cougs!
I think Leaf needs jail time. The second burglary indicates to me that his addiction has him by the balls right now, and I think jail may be the safest place for him. I hope he's able to get back on his feet and get through this. I was at the University of Idaho while Leaf was at WSU. The whole cougar team and coaching staff at that time was pretty arrogant – not just Leaf (I worked through school at a hotel/banquet facility that hosted all the opposing Pac10 teams, and the cougs when the dorms were closed – so have limited first hand experience of how teams/staff treated people). I didn't like the guy, but have been impressed with his ownership of bad behavior.

BDO's Corporate Real Estate Lease Auditing Services practice is designed so that when it comes to commercial leases, you pay only your fair share.
Our Goal
Our goal is to help clients pay only what is called for in their leases—and no more. And we do so without straining your relationship with your landlord.
With the exception of payroll, most organizations spend significantly more dollars on their real estate costs than on any other recurring expenditure. As such, the need to review and assess the accuracy of these charges is essential to all corporate executives—both as a cost-cutting mechanism and as a management tool to assess the company's financial position. Our experience shows that savings are found in most real estate operating expense escalation statements and utility bills. For some of our clients, savings can amount to millions of dollars. But even smaller adjustments can make a big difference in bottom-line performance for most companies.
Act Now
Many leases allow only 30 days in which to examine a landlord's books after the tenant receives the annual escalation statement. Real estate departments often don't have the in-house resources to devote to this time-sensitive issue, but once the audit window is closed, it's closed forever.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Uaciquete, Americo URN etd-05092005-135526 Document Title Epidemiology and control of powdery mildew (Oidium anacardii Noack) on cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) in Mozambique Degree MSc(Plant Pathology) Department Microbiology and Plant Pathology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof L Korsten Keywords
- Cashew diseases and pests control Mozambique
- Powdery mildew diseases Mozambique
Date 2004-04-24 Availability unrestricted Abstract For a successful and economical integrated control program aimed at a particular disease, pertinent information, regarding the environmental conditions prevailing in the growing area, the crop itself and the pathogen, must be available. Recently, the control of powdery mildew disease on cashew has moved from the use of non-systemic fungicides with a wide range of action, to highly specific systemic ones. Such a shift requires a more effective integrated control system, whereby tolerant varieties in combination with fungicide unaffected biocontrol agents are timely used to ensure disease control and reduce the hazards associated with excessive fungicide applications. The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between the disease epidemic and some climatic factors over time. Appropriate periods for management interventions were determined. The cellular host reaction to infection by Oidium anacardii Noack was studied with a view to rapidly identify disease tolerant host types. Potential antagonists were isolated, screened and compared with commercial biocontrol products using in vivo techniques and chemical control programs were finally evaluated.Electron microscopy elucidated that the powdery mildew tolerant cashew variety (H1) had a relatively higher consistency of cytoplasmic aggregates upon infection by O. anacardii when compared to the susceptible clone. Based on conidia and conidiophore morphology, conidial germination and conidiogenesis processes observed indicated that O. anacardii belongs to the subgenus Pseudoidium (Y.S. Paul & J.N. Kapoor) comb.Et. Stat. Nov. (Holomorph Erysiphe Sect. Erysiphe U. Braun).
There was no direct relationship between the progress of the cashew powdery mildew epidemic and temperature, relative humidity or dew point over time. However, the epidemic did not start until conditions of average temperatures under the tree canopy were below 30°C, relative humidity was 80% and dew point was above 15.
In vivo screening of 72 isolates, amongst them bacteria and fungi, from cashew leaves and florets showed that none were effective against O. anacardii, the causal agent of cashew powdery mildew. However, commercial antagonists, Candida saitoana, Bacillus subtilis and B. licheniformis, significantly reduced the growth and branching of primary hyphae. One antagonist, B. licheniformis, was as effective as the commercial fungicide triadimenol 25% EC (Bayfidan).
Chemical fungicides were found to be effective against powdery mildew; however, the currently prevailing economic environment in Mozambique was found inappropriate for the use of expensive organic fungicides. Additional gain from the use of fungicides was found to be solely qualitative and thus did not represent a fair investment return ratio in terms of cashew nut prices and production costs. The use of integrated cashew management was finally recommended. Further studies should focus on development of integrated and cost effective disease management strategies.

Photos: El Ten Eleven and RACES Live at the Central Social And Pleasure Club
Los Angeles-based indie-rock band El Ten Eleven made a stop in their home town in the middle of their 2013 Winter Tour that began shortly after the release of their latest album, Transitions. The headlining instrumental duo shared the stage with opening indie-rock band RACES to a sold out and incredibly jam-packed, shoulder-to-shoulder crowd at Santa Monica's Central Social And Pleasure Club.
RACES didn't get to begin playing until almost a half hour after the advertised show time, but it was early in the night and people were still trying to order drinks so there wasn't much fuss. It helped that they put on a good set.
An extra-long sound check and other mysterious delays kept El Ten Eleven from beginning on time, and the crowd waited more than an hour for the band to be able to play, getting very close to unacceptable-and-about-to-walk-out territory. But as soon as band mates Kristian Dunn and Tim Fogarty hit the stage, they apologized and began their performance straight away.
Fogarty, who plays acoustic and electronic drums, was soaked in sweat within minutes, and Dunn had three guitars on stage (he plays doubleneck bass/guitars) and triple as many pedals laid out in front of him.
The draw to seeing El Ten Eleven live lies in their deep concentration and dedication into hitting each note perfectly, which, between just two people, is a feat. Each song is layered, loud and precise, yet still very much evoke emotional response. It's always nice to hear a favorite song played live, but in El Ten Eleven's case, the actual performance in itself is the real show.

Plans to put a culture tax in front of voters have been put on hold due to a potential conflict with a Cincinnati Zoo tax renewal levy that will be on the 2013 ballot. Backers of the culture tax — a 0.25 percentage-point sales tax increase that would raise $30 million annually — fear that overlapping the tax increase and levy could be confusing and potentially hurt the chances of either to be approved. The culture tax will likely be put on the 2014 ballot.
City Council this fall will consider a new form-based development code that will allow individual neighborhoods to create their own codes that supporters say will reinforce neighborhoods' existing urban fabric while aiding in development. Supporters include the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Cincinnati Inc. "For developers, there is more predictability and basically no battles. And once they know the parameters, (developers) can really turn their creativity loose," David Ginsburg, president and CEO of Downtown Cincinnati Inc., told The Enquirer.
The Enquirer on Sunday checked in on
the state's higher education situation, finding that many recent
college graduates and families of potential college students are
wondering if college is even worth it considering the high cost —
"total student loan debt is nearing $1 trillion, or more than
$20,000 for each graduate" — and lack of guaranteed return —
"government data this year show that fully half of graduates 25 or
younger are either unemployed or working in a job that doesn't use
the skills they learned in college." No word on whether Enquirer-endorsed Gov. John Kasich thinks his kids should skip college and go straight into the service industry.

The Ohio State Senate's top Republican wants to beef up ethics laws for state lawmakers.
Senate President Tom Niehaus tells The Columbus Dispatch that he plans on rolling out a new ethics bill within a few weeks. He didn't offer specifics on what it would cover, but said disclosure and transparency would be the main themes.
Ohio's ethics laws governing the relationship between public officials and lobbyists haven't seen significant updates in more than 17 years. Niehaus told the newspaper he wants to see lawmakers vote on it before his legislative career ends this year.
The last major overhaul of Ohio ethics laws came in 1994, when the legislature banned public officials from receiving money to appear at dinners and receptions and required disclosure of all gifts costing more than $25.
The law also banned gifts costing more than $75, but oftentimes lobbyists will split up more expensive gifts among a number of lobbyists.

Fraser DA et al. – The findings suggest that high–dose benfotiamine (300 mg/day) supplementation over 24 months has no significant effects upon peripheral nerve function or soluble markers of inflammation in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Methods- The study randomly assigned 67 patients with type 1 diabetes to receive 24–month benfotiamine (300 mg/day) or placebo supplementation.
- Peripheral nerve function and levels of soluble inflammatory variables were assessed at baseline and at 24 months.
- Fifty–nine patients completed the study.
- Marked increases in whole–blood concentrations of thiamine and thiamine diphosphate were found in the benfotiamine group (both P < 0.001 vs. placebo).
- However, no significant differences in changes in peripheral nerve function or soluble inflammatory biomarkers were observed between the groups.

I'm on a bit of a red kick. Planted Ascot and Munstead Wood this year. To me they are more crimson than ruby as reds. Not quite a true red the way Ingrid Bergman is. I'm considering the following reds and wondering if anyone has them and can describe the red, shrub shape and size, scent, hardiness, disease resistance, and overall bloom characteristics. Any other suggestions are appreciated. Out of Rosenheim |
Follow-Up Postings:
I only have 2 reds.....but what reds they are. If you are not keen on gigantic singles, look away.....but if you have space and no aversion to crimson overload, them you could do no better than the species rose, moyesii (a truly remarkable specimen rose) or the huge gallica hybrid, Scharlachglut - an outstanding Kordes rose from the 50s which has that true velvet finish without a hint of white to dilute the fiery glow. |
If you want constant bloom look at Home Run or the poly Zenaitta. Other reds I have that I like are Crimson Bouquet, Frankly Scarlet and Black Cherry. Of those CB is the cleanest all the time with nice dark glossy leaves. |
I think Astrid is pretty much the same color as Ascot. They were both hybridized by Evers. I don't know of any U.S. or Canadian seller of this rose, but if you find one, zapho, please let us know. I want Astrid! Diane |
Out of Rosenheim is a very true bright red. I just got it this spring from RU and it seems like a winner. Another few that might be that bright red you are looking for are Liebeszauber, Eutin, LD Braithwaite, Linda Campbell, Pied Piper and Red Ridinghood Fairytale. Tammy |
IMHO, Europeana is the finest floribunda every hybridized. It will get BS without spraying but it fits every definition of a floribunda. Relatively low growing, but with huge clusters of blooms that are so heavy the canes flop over. Yet, the red never bleaches or purples, even in the very hottest sun - just pure red. |
Diane - I'm on a waiting list for Astrid from Angel Gardens. I'm super happy with Ascot so if Astrid is anything similar I'll be thrilled. |
Thoughts on whether I could get away with R. moyesii here in Wisconsin? I'm just warm enough for it so could be iffy. Since I'm on the colder side for it, does that mean it would stay smaller? |
I HATED Europeana.... |

L D Braithwaite is by far the clearest red I grow. |
Zapho, thanks for your info, but I checked Angel Gardens' website, and Astrid was nowhere to be found. Has it been discontinued from their list of roses? I would like to get on that waiting list, too. Diane |

Among those you mention, I have Scarlet Velvet, Darcy Bussell, and I've planted Braveheart twice (but it didn't overwinter for me in zone 5). Scarlet Velvet is anything BUT scarlet - it's definitely crimson, and a shy rebloomer. I've liked Darcy Bussell already in her second year, and here she is below blooming with some partial shade. The picture is a little pinker than she is in real life, but for me she's more dark pink than what I'd call crimson. Definitely pinker than Ascot in my yard. Among the most floriforous reds that stay true red, my choices would be: Black Cherry, The Prince's Trust and Dublin Bay (climbers), Preference, Pied Piper, JC Thornton and for the darker reds that I love, LavaGlut, Schwarze Madonna, Peggy Rockefeller, and Harry G Hastings.

Yesterday I was at a garden and saw this - Champlain. I had never seen it before; what a nice rose. The bushes all held many blooms, no fading and I noticed that it cleaned well which was nice because the garden hadn't been tended lately. Now, the photo might look a bit pink but in person this rose was not pinkish. For comparison, I grow these red roses and put them all in the crimson end of the spectrum: Munstead Wood, Falstaff (both with decidedly pink tendencies), Black Cherry, Oh My! and Lavaglut. Compared to these I'd say Champlain was a "true" red. |

Also, just noticed zaphod's zone and wanted to add that this was growing in a garden in NH up on top of a mountain; I'm going to guess they are zone 4. The plants were big and healthy and quite full of blooms. |
Diane - Go through HMF. I emailed them about it. It wasn't currently available, but she was working on starting some. |
Cynthia - Do you grow your Peggy Rockefeller in a pot? If not, do you heavily winter protect? HMF says zone 7b. How is it with BS and how big does it get? |
Thanks so much, Zapho. I'll do as you said. Diane |

Check out Lavaglut , a dark rich red, & Black Forrest, an ADR rose, both sold by Palatine. 2 good red Easy Elegance roses that should be hardy for you in z5 are Kashmir & Como Park & also Dr. Buck's Polonaise. |

Hi Zaphod First, to be perfectly honest, I'm an unrepentant zone pusher and I don't mind trying roses that aren't supposed to be hardy in my zone only to find that they are. There may be some roses that'll survive in MY zone 5 (but not other zone 5 areas) because we have really hot dry summers, which may give them a stronger start to survive the winters. Also, I do winter protect the roses with leaves around their bases, though I've been getting slacker about that in the past few years. Having said that, I grow Peggy Rockefeller in the ground, an own root from Roses Unlimited. She's on the side of my house that's a zone 4 pocket, so that speaks well to her winter survival odds. As I recall, I think she's one of the roses that appreciates having the winter protection and I usually remove most of her cane that's above the protection (in that case, it's an intact bag of leaves rolled up against her side for the winter). Still, I think she's at least root hardy in my zone, and I'd definitely give her a try. She has a great dark red color and grows at least 3 feet for me, probably average on the blackspot resistance. By now, the BS sensitive roses have defoliated for a while, but she's OK (I'm also pretty tolerant of BS, though). Cynthia |

The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
In seeing the kids change their attitudes about their outlook on life, futures and personal capabilities. I noticed this with my first group of kids from Mc Crary. When I first met the kids they had no connection to nature and often littered openly by the end of the project the kids where more conscious about littering problem they realized how bad it was all around and even began talking about it with their parents. Another change I saw was with the bridge at first the kids had no interest but short after they started becoming more involved even trying to sneak off their sketchbooks to work at the facility. I had some of the kids that left the bridge ended up coming back and bringing their friends with them from the neighborhood. At that point I kind of just took them all in maybe not good for running a program but I couldn't give them back to the streets.

[219] The Histopathologic Findings of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Enhancement of Breast Lesions with Histologically Mass-Negative Lesion: A Single Institution Experience.
LaKeta Monhollen, Prasanna Kumar, Rameela Chandrasekhar, Gregory Wilding, Thaer Khoury. Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, NY
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used to detect breast lesions for patients with high risk or as part of staging with varying results. The histologically non-mass lesions that are enhanced by MRI have had little attention. The objective of this study is to review the histologic findings on these biopsies.
Design: One hundred-sixty five cases were selected from the archives at Roswell Park Cancer Institute between 2001 and 2010. We defined histologically mass lesion as carcinoma (in situ or invasive), fibroadenoma, papilloma or radial scar. All other lesions were considered mass-negative lesions. These lesions included stromal fibrosis, pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH), inflammation, sclerosing adenosis, apocrine metaplasia, duct ectasia and ductal hyperplasia. One or more histologic entity could be present in one biopsy. These lesions were graded from 0 to 3, based on the degree of involvement; ≥1 was considered present. Statistical analyses to assess the significance of the difference between two correlated proportions based on the same sample were performed using the exact McNemar's test.
Results: A total of 80 (48.5%) cases had mass lesions that would account for enhancement on MRI, 35 (21.2%) carcinoma and 45 (27.3%) were other mass lesions including radial scar, papilloma or adenoma. The remaining 85 (51.5%) cases, classified as mass-negative, had stromal fibrosis in 84.7%, PASH in 50.6%, ductal hyperplasia in 47.1%, sclerosing adenosis in 37.7%, apocrine metaplasia in 34.1%, duct ectasia in 32.9% and inflammation in 32.9%. Stroma fibrosis was significantly more common than all other findings (p-value <0.0001), while PASH was significantly more common than duct ectasia and inflammation only (p value 0.03 each).
Conclusions: Our results indicate that the pathologist should expect that fibrosis and PASH to be the most common findings in histologically mass-negative enhanced-lesions by MRI. It is unclear why these changes produce MRI enhancement. More studies to explore the reason are needed.

Bishops finalize reorganization, approve $147.7 million USCCB budget
BALTIMORE (CNS) -- The U.S. bishops took the final steps to formalize the new structure of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Nov. 13 and approved a $147.7 million budget for 2008 and a 16 percent reduction in the diocesan assessment to fund the USCCB. In a series of votes on the second day of their fall general meeting in Baltimore, the bishops accepted recommendations of the USCCB Committee on Priorities and Plans for the interim plans of conference offices and committees, the mandates of 15 permanent subcommittees and the establishment of a permanent subcommittee on Hispanic liturgy and a temporary subcommittee on Africa. They also agreed, with little discussion, on new bylaws and a new USCCB committee handbook drawn up by their Committee on Canonical Affairs. Bishop William S. Skylstad of Spokane, Wash., who was to end a three-year term as USCCB president at the close of the Nov. 12-15 meeting, called the bishops' actions "a watershed moment" that "sets us on a new course as we move into the future."

Bishops finalize Iraq statement, urge new directions in war, policy
BALTIMORE (CNS) -- Some U.S. policymakers "seem to fail to recognize sufficiently the reality and failures in Iraq and the imperative for new directions," warned the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in a new statement on transition in Iraq. The statement issued Nov. 13 by the conference president, Bishop William S. Skylstad of Spokane, Wash., reiterates the bishops' insistence that the transition of U.S. forces out of Iraq should take into account moral issues, such as minimizing the loss of human life, addressing the humanitarian crisis in Iraq, the situation of refugees and the protection of human rights, especially religious freedom. The bishops agreed a day earlier to have Bishop Skylstad issue a statement on their behalf. The statement bemoans the "political and partisan stalemate in Washington" that it described as a parallel to the "dangerous political stalemate" that blocks reconciliation in Iraq. It also includes a question-and-answer supplement that describes in greater detail the USCCB positions on action in Iraq, on withdrawal of troops, on fighting terrorism and on the treatment of religious minorities in Iraq, refugees and U.S. military personnel and their families.

Abuse study expected to reveal insights about societal effects
BALTIMORE (CNS) -- An ongoing study of the "causes and contexts" of the sexual abuse crisis in the church will touch on societal influences, the role of various aspects of seminary life and how church leaders' response was a factor, according to the staff of the New York-based John Jay College of Criminal Justice in a report to the U.S. bishops Nov. 12. In a briefing during the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' annual fall general meeting in Baltimore, researchers Karen Terry and Margaret Smith outlined the types of information being gathered since the bishops agreed at the same meeting a year ago to spend $335,000 to cover the first phases of the detailed study. Research falls into six categories, Terry explained: a historical overview of social and political events since 1950; recruitment and seminary training; leadership; victimization; a clinical analysis using data from three treatment centers; and a discussion of prevention and education tactics. Terry said early research seems to indicate that the patterns of sexual abuse within the church are consistent with the experience of society as a whole.

Bishops elect Cardinal George as new president
BALTIMORE (CNS) -- The U.S. bishops Nov. 13 elected Cardinal Francis E. George of Chicago as their president and Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas of Tucson, Ariz., as their vice president. Using an electronic voting system, the bishops voted on the second day of their Nov. 12-15 fall general meeting in Baltimore. Cardinal George won on the first ballot with 188 votes, or 85 percent. He is completing his three-year term as vice president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. He is the first cardinal to be elected president or vice president of the conference since 1971. He succeeds Bishop William S. Skylstad of Spokane, Wash., whose three-year term comes to an end at the close of the meeting. After a president was chosen from among 10 candidates, the remaining nine became the slate of candidates for vice president. There were three rounds of voting for vice president. Two votes included all nine remaining candidates and the third vote was between the top two: Bishop Kicanas and Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan of Milwaukee. Bishop Kicanas won with 128 votes; the archbishop received 106.

Ad hoc committee recommends annual audits for all parishes
BALTIMORE (CNS) -- A report by the U.S. bishops' Ad Hoc Committee on Diocesan Audits recommends annual reporting by every parish as well as exercising a degree of caution about the tradition of presuming church employees view their work as ministry and do not need oversight. Such a "trusting environment" can be exploited by a dishonest worker, it said. "While the vast majority of our pastors, parish finance councils and staff does excellent work in managing very limited resources to the maximum advantage, we have all seen reports of occasional financial mismanagement in parishes," said Bishop Daniel F. Walsh of Santa Rosa, Calif., chairman of the committee. Bishop Walsh reported on the work of the ad hoc committee on the first day of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' annual fall general meeting Nov. 12-15 in Baltimore.

Green Bay Diocese, Catholic parish step in to shelter homeless people
GREEN BAY, Wis. (CNS) -- With cold weather fast approaching, the Catholic Church stepped in to help shelter the chronically homeless of the Green Bay area when a popular overnight haven for them could not meet city zoning requirements to open. The Diocese of Green Bay announced it would back an effort to establish a shelter at St. John the Evangelist Parish. It opened Nov. 6 and two days later received preliminary approval for a zoning permit. Final zoning approval was needed by Nov. 15. "We feel very good about the opportunity to be where we are, especially with what the temperature is predicted to be," said Deacon Tim Reilly, Green Bay diocesan director of administration. The decision on the shelter came with the authorization of Milwaukee Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan, who was named administrator of the Green Bay Diocese after Bishop David A. Zubik was installed as Pittsburgh's new bishop Sept. 28.

Catholic youths at national conference in Ohio keep their faith alive
COLUMBUS, Ohio (CNS) -- During the National Catholic Youth Conference in Columbus Nov. 8-10, about 20,000 youths had the chance to sing, pray, ask questions about their faith, meet new people and even play dodge ball. Bishop Matthew H. Clark of Rochester, N.Y., told participants during the closing ceremony that he hoped the experience was a "profoundly confirming time for you and an expression of the deep love of the church for you." He added, "And I hope that when you return, you share your experience and tell how your being together in these wonderful days in Columbus has spoken to your heart. The folks back home are very anxious to hear what you have learned and shared about Christ." Bishop Clark served as celebrant for the closing ceremony in place of Columbus Bishop Frederick F. Campbell who was recovering from foot surgery. The Washington-based National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry was the conference's sponsor, and the Columbus Diocese was the conference host. The Rochester bishop also addressed the sadness that overshadowed the conference because of the death of conference participant Veronica Gantt, 16, of Las Vegas, who was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Columbus Nov. 8.

Bishops OK proposed documents on stem cells, high-tech reproduction
BALTIMORE (CNS) -- The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops overwhelmingly approved a proposal by their Committee on Pro-Life Activities to draft new documents on embryonic stem-cell research and on reproductive technologies. As outlined Nov. 13 by Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia, chairman of the pro-life committee, the stem-cell document would be "a brief policy statement" explaining why the church opposes research involving the destruction of human embryos and would be presented to the bishops for debate and vote in June. Cardinal Rigali said there is "no authoritative USCCB document on the underlying reasons" for Catholic opposition to embryonic stem-cell research, although there have been many letters by conference leaders and statements from popes and Vatican officials. "The committee did not want the conference to speak out for the first time" on embryonic stem-cell research in a pastoral document directed at couples dealing with infertility, he said. The statement on reproductive technologies would be written in collaboration with the bishops' Committee on Doctrine and their Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth, Cardinal Rigali said, and would have "an appealing and pastoral tone."

Italians to hear more than 100,000 changes to Mass Scriptures
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Italians listening to the Scriptures at Mass will no longer hear that it is impossible to serve "God and mammon," but rather that no one can serve both "God and wealth." On the feast of the Annunciation, the Gospel reading no longer will have the angel Gabriel greeting Mary with the words "Hail, full of grace," but rather with "Rejoice, full of grace." After five years of work and 15 drafts, the first volumes of Scripture readings for Masses in Italian have been approved by the Vatican and may be used in parishes beginning in December. The new lectionaries for Sundays and holy days -- one for each year of the three-year cycle of readings -- were presented Nov. 12 at a Vatican press conference. The bishops expect to complete the collection of readings for other Masses by the end of 2008 and use of the new translations will be obligatory beginning with Advent 2010.

Officials confirm papal visit to Lourdes to mark Marian apparitions
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Officials confirmed Pope Benedict XVI will visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in France to mark the 150th anniversary of the Marian apparitions there, but said the exact time period of the papal visit was not yet known. Bishop Jacques Perrier of Tarbes and Lourdes, who is in charge of the preparations for the jubilee celebrations, said the papal journey was "a sure thing." The bishop and others spoke to journalists during a Nov. 13 Vatican press conference, unveiling details of the yearlong jubilee celebrations. Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, head of the Vatican press office, said the papal trip "most probably" would have Lourdes as its sole destination and for now would not include stops in other cities. Bishop Perrier said he is often asked if the pope will arrive at Lourdes for one of the "significant moments" for the church, such as Feb. 11, the day the apparitions began and also the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, or Aug. 15, the feast of the Assumption. Bishop Perrier said whatever date the pope decides for his visit would be a significant moment for them.

Pakistani bishop expresses hope for return to democracy
LAHORE, Pakistan (CNS) -- A Pakistani bishop expressed hope for a return to democracy and said the country's bishops will discuss the crisis at their upcoming meeting. Bishop Max Rodrigues of Hyderabad told the Asian church news agency UCA News Nov. 12, "We hope that the prevailing setback is short-lived and that democracy returns." The bishop said the members of the Pakistan Catholic Bishops' Conference plan to review the ongoing crisis at their Nov. 23 meeting. "Meanwhile, the churches have been directed to pray for the country and its solidarity," he said. Gen. Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan's president, declared a state of emergency Nov. 3, arresting protesters and opponents and banning large gatherings. The crisis deepened Nov. 11 when Musharraf announced that to reinforce Pakistan's fight against terrorism the state of emergency would continue beyond the planned general election that he promised would be held before Jan. 9.

Jewish scholar writes about Palestinian refugees in Vatican newspaper
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The Vatican newspaper had one of Italy's most prominent Jewish scholars, Anna Foa, write an article about historical memory, focusing on a new book about the origins of the Palestinian refugee problem. Giovanni Maria Vian, the new editor of L'Osservatore Romano, said that since the Vatican newspaper is almost 150 years old he could not say for sure if the paper had ever published a Jewish author. "But it probably is the first time that a Jewish voice has been asked to make a cultural contribution," he told reporters. Foa told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera that she was pleased to have been asked to contribute to the Vatican newspaper and seeing her name in the Nov. 9 issue "was moving." Vian told reporters he asked Foa to write as part of an effort "to open the newspaper to a lively and broad cultural discussion with an international scope. For that reason, authoritative voices from various areas will be included." Foa's article focused on the recent publication in Italian of "Bad Memories: The Debate in Israel Over the Expulsion of the Palestinians in 1948-1949" by Anita Shapira.

Chinese react differently to 'religion' in communist constitution
HONG KONG (CNS) -- Some church leaders praised the inclusion of the word "religion" in the Communist Party's constitution as a small step forward, but a recent commentary in a Hong Kong daily identified the Vatican as a "foreign force" meddling in the affairs of Hong Kong and Macau. The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Beijing in mid-October has been called a breakthrough for religion in China, reported the Asian church news agency UCA News. The latest revision to the party constitution uses the word "religion" for the first time since the constitution was drafted in 1921. The 19th paragraph of the constitution's General Program now includes this sentence: "The party strives to fully implement its basic principle for its work related to religious affairs and rallies religious believers in making contributions to economic and social development." The paragraph originally contained only calls for communists' promotion of relations with ethnic minorities based on equality, solidarity, mutual harmony, training of cadres from these groups, and empowering these groups to work for prosperity and development.

EU criticizes Turkey for failing to protect Christian minorities
WARSAW, Poland (CNS) -- As the European Union prepares for a summit in December, its governing commission has criticized Turkey for failing to protect its Christian minorities. "Attacks against clergy and places of worship of non-Muslim communities have been reported. Missionaries have been portrayed in the media or by the authorities as a threat to the integrity of the country," said a commission report published in early November. "To date, use of language that might incite hatred against non-Muslim minorities has been left unpunished," it said, adding that non-Muslim religious communities continue to face a lack of legal norms "and restricted property rights." Most of Turkey's more than 70 million citizens are Sunni Muslims. Christians, who make up less than 1 percent of the Turkish population, often have complained of discrimination in Turkey.

New archbishop in Taiwan says he will care for priests, evangelize
CHIAYI, Taiwan (CNS) -- The newly appointed archbishop of Taipei says his two highest priorities are to take good care of his priests and to evangelize. Archbishop John Hung Shan-chuan of Chiayi, whom Pope Benedict XVI appointed to Taipei Nov. 9, also said he will visit retired bishops to ask for advice on managing the archdiocese. Three retired Taipei archbishops reside in the area: Archbishop Joseph Cheng Tsai-fa, 75, whom Archbishop Hung succeeds; and Archbishops Joseph Ti-kang, 79, and Matthew Kia Yen-wen, 82. The new archbishop will be installed Nov. 25 at Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Taipei, reported the Asian church news agency UCA News. Archbishop Hung, who turns 64 Nov. 20, told UCA News Nov. 12, "I don't have much ability to run the church alone and have to rely on my priests and laypeople." Born on Penghu Island, off the western coast of Taiwan, Archbishop Hung was ordained a Salesian priest in 1973. After obtaining a doctorate in education in the United States, he devoted himself to Catholic education in Taiwan.

Chicago cardinal elected president of U.S. bishops' conference
BALTIMORE (CNS) -- Cardinal Francis E. George, who has been the archbishop of Chicago for the past decade, was elected president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Nov. 13. He is the first cardinal to be elected president of the conference since 1971 when Philadelphia Cardinal John J. Krol held the position. Cardinal George, USCCB vice president for the past three years, received 188 votes, or 85 percent of the votes, on the first ballot during the second day of the bishops' fall general meeting in Baltimore. A Chicago native, 70-year-old Cardinal George assumes the role of president a year after the bishops voted to sharply reduce the number of USCCB committees and downsize the national staff by eliminating about 70 jobs. Before the bishops' elections, opposition to the cardinal's being a presidential candidate came from the Voice of the Faithful, a group pushing for change in the church, and Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, known as SNAP. They cited his failure to immediately remove a Chicago priest from his parish in 2005 despite abuse allegations.

Sister Janice Bader to run National Religious Retirement Office
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Precious Blood Sister Janice Bader has been named director of the National Religious Retirement Office. She had been the office's interim director since the death in July of Precious Blood Sister Andree Fries, who had been director since 2000. Sister Janice's appointment, which took effect Oct. 31, was announced Nov. 5. The National Religious Retirement Office is the coordinating body that oversees the annual Retirement Fund for Religious collection, designed to reduce the unfunded retirement liability of the nation's religious orders. Taken up in most U.S. parishes the second weekend of December, it has proven by far to be the most generous special collection in U.S. Catholic history; this year's collection will be held the weekend of Dec. 8-9. The office is jointly sponsored by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, the Conference of Major Superiors of Men and the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious.

Student from Kentucky wins CCHD's national award
BALTIMORE (CNS) -- David Golemboski, a student who is a social justice leader in Louisville, Ky., is the 2007 winner of the Cardinal Bernardin New Leadership Award given by the U.S. bishops' Catholic Campaign for Human Development. The 10th annual award, named for Cardinal Joseph L. Bernardin, the late archbishop of Chicago, honors young Catholics who demonstrate leadership in fighting poverty and injustice in the United States through community-based efforts. Golemboski received the award Nov. 12 during the annual fall meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in Baltimore. "David has used his considerable gifts to bring diverse communities together in Louisville. His ability to express his Catholic faith through leadership and action inspires us," said John Carr, CCHD interim executive director. Carr not only congratulated the award recipient, but also his parents, who attended the award presentation, for raising him well. Golemboski, 22, is in his first year at Harvard Divinity School in Cambridge, Mass., pursuing a master's degree in religion, ethics and politics.

Paul Hoffman Wins June 6, 2012, AHC Handicapping Contest
Robert Albanese, Rich Zipp Round Out The Orland Hills Three
Does the name Paul Hoffman sound familiar to you? It should, since Hoffman finished second in the previous AHC handicapping contest held on May 26. He was co-featured on my blog story detailing that contest (click here for story).
Hoffman will also be remembered for being sent four times by the racetrack to Las Vegas to compete in the two major annual handicapping tournaments held there in January and February. Not only does Hoffman stand out for his repeated success, but for the fact that he usually wins his contest with win bets, sometimes exacta bets. For the fans that think a contestant must hit a superfecta, pick four, or the like to do well in handicapping contests, Hoffman should be an inspiration. He was that to Hilton Gordon who finished first in the May 26 contest.
Hoffman, who lives in Schaumburg, thought nothing of traveling to Arlington's new parlor in Orland Hills, located in Sam's Triple Crown. "I'm a serious contest player," Hoffman admitted. "I am intent on winning my way back to Las Vegas and having the track pay for it. I'm convinced that I will represent the track well by doing well in either national tournament.
"I made the second-to-first move once before," Hoffman reminded. "I was pretty much exclusively a win bettor at that time.
"It wasn't until more recently that I've added exactas to my game plan," explained Hoffman. "Frankly, I think contest players tend to improve their handicapping and betting by playing in these live-money contests. I know I have, and if I have, others have and will. Therefore, I'm looking to elevate my contest bankroll with exactas in order to remain competitive."
"My winning hit came in the second race from Arlington," Hoffman revealed. "I made a $77 exacta bet, Gentle Moment over the favored entry, and it returned $19.20 for $2. That's what got me to my total of $739.20."
His first-place finish earns Hoffman a paid entry, worth $1,000, into the November 24 Twin Spires On-Line Handicapping Championship (TSOHC). Should he finish in the top 20 in the TSOHC, Hoffman will win a paid trip to Las Vegas to compete in the January, 2013, DRF/NTRA National Handicapping Championship (NHC). Should he finish in the next 80 he will be going to the February, 2013, Coast Casinos Horseplayer World Series (HWS). The two national tourneys offer top prizes of approximately $750,000 and $300,000, respectively.
Our second- and third-place finishers from last Saturday still can earn their way into the TSOHC. Second-finisher Robert Albanese earns a berth into the next monthly Twin Spires contest which feeds into the TSOHC, and third-finisher Rich Zipp will compete in a weekly Twin Spires contest to keep his chances of a TSOHC berth alive.
Robert Albanese also likes to travel, and to play in contests. "I love to be at Arlington where the live action is, but a handicapping contest will get me to a parlor," he explained. "It's more than just the contest, it's to have some variety in my horseracing surroundings. I'm glad I went to Sam's in Orland Hills. It's new, fresh, and very nice.
"It's gratifying to come in second in the contest, and I'm happy with my contest total of $310.70. But I also had one of those days we all dream about," Albanese admitted. "Every horseplayer has probably seen the movie Let It Ride. That was my day last Saturday.
"Among my bigger scores were the pick five at Monmouth plus two pick fours, one at Belmont and one at Churchill," Albanese continued. "Then add in a couple of win bets at Hollywood and Arlington.
"The thing is, in the interest of keeping things straight, I reserve my contest betting card for Arlington races only," revealed Albanese. "If I had been making all of last Saturday's bets on my contest card, I would have run away and hid from the field like Secretariat in the Belmont. But I'm OK with it."
For Rich Zipp the story was all daily doubles. "I started out with the early double at Arlington and finished with the late Arlington double," revealed Zipp. "The early double was the Wayne Catalano first starter (Bluegrass Dan) to the Ingrid Mason horse (Gentle Moment) in the second race, and that paid $20. My $3 ticket gave a little boost to my bankroll.
"I then looked east to Monmouth Park where a liked a 15-1 shot and part-wheeled him in the double with the first two favorites in the next race," Zipp continued. "That hit and the double paid over $90.
"I then made my last double bet at Arlington for a small final boost to my bankroll," concluded Zipp. "There's my $137.20 final total."
Zipp is a serious contest player. "I've been to the NHC and the HWS several times and I still can't wait to get back there," he admitted. "I am constantly monitoring what contests are available and deciding which one to play in next. "I've cashed at the big contests before, and I'm convinced I can again."

our next chance to join us on-track is Saturday, June 23, in the Starting Gate Theater where we begin with my free handicapping seminar at noon then offer a free handicapping contest to award another three chances to work on winning your way to Las Vegas.
We want to send you to Las Vegas but you can't win it unless you get in it! See you at Arlington!

Here is a link that might be useful: Hopefully the link works
It is probably hairy bittercress. It is an annual that will die now and the seed will sprout in the fall and grow through the winter. Then you will see the white flowers in the spring. |

Skin Prep and Duoderm - page 2
Has anyone ever used the skin prep pads under a duoderm pad? I'm new to HH, but I went out with the HH nurse last week. There is a patient with a stage 2 on her sacrum. They are having problems with... Read More
0Feb 18, '12 by RainbowfishSorry this is so late gettingupthere, but I think you were right the first time. I think layering them would still reduce the gas permeability. Both Tegaderm and Duoderm are intended to be the only dressing, and you are effectively making it twice as hard for air to pass through by layering them, even if both are gas permeable. This would be very bad for infected wounds. I heard the practice of layering over gas permeable dressings slammed at a wound care course recently, I'm not sure if it was duoderm and tegaderm specifically. Though we were told 'if in doubt contact the manufacturer'. I suggest you do if you are using/thinking of using this practice.
0Feb 18, '12 by RainbowfishUmm, sorry. I don't think Duoderm IS even gas permeable, though I know tegaderm is. Actually I have found evidence it is not semipermeable from australianprescriber and emedicine: Medscape: Medscape Access
Current concepts in wound dressings - Australian Prescriber
I can't see where it says semipermeable or gas permeable on the convatec site either. -
0Feb 23, '12 by mommy.19If the drainage is more than small to none, your are correct in feeling another product is more appropriate. Duoderm is a hydrocolloid, you'd likely need something more absorbent like a foam or an alginate. Also, it's not likely a stage II if it's having that much drainage, thought I can't see the wound so my opinion is not very valuable. Also, if the pt is incontinent and the skin is often very moist (i.e. pt not being cleaned or turned properly), you will be hard pressed to find a dressing to stay. Maybe a tegaderm foam? Just my 2cents.

Baden Baden
Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa
The thermal springs of Baden-Baden, in southwestern Germany, have enjoyed fame since ancient Roman times. The town's Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa, bordering the gingko-lined Lichtenaler Allee, is no secret either. Since the property's founding in 1872, every high-powered politico and cultural notable (Henry Ford; Richard Tauber; Charles de Gaulle) has rested his head under a leather-tufted headboard or gilt-framed painting, and parted the guest rooms' toile de jouy drapes. These days, chef Rudolf Pellkofer's classic, complex cuisine (awarded a second Michelin star in 2010) turns heads; try the marinated Danube salmon with Kaernten caviar. The hotel's other claim to fame, the expansive spa—with a Roman–style pool, blossom baths, and two types of saunas—offers curative rituals, such as Secret of the Lotus, a pearl-powder body peel, silk-glove massage, and milk bath.
