Customer Ratings:
I too use this an antioxidant booster to my mix of serums. Just a couple drops morning and night, and I'll probably get a year out of the bottle. Great for thinning out some serum combinations and adding some extra antioxidant protection. It's a bit thick for a toner IMHO, and probably would not do well on a cotton pad.
I wanted to love this as I like thicker toners that I can apply with my finger tips instead of always using a cotton pad and like the idea of extra anti-oxidants and lightweight hydration- but I've used this on and off for months now and every time end up with little pimples all over. I've tried it enough times now to be pretty certain it is the culprit as it always happens within 2-3 days of resuming use of it.
Hello, and thank you for your comments - we're sorry to hear this didn't work as expected for you! Please contact a member of our Customer Care team for information about a possible exchange or refund.
I don't use this as a conventional toner. I use it as an antioxidant product because the serums are just too pricey for me right now. I add a few drops of the C15 to a few drops of this and dab onto my fave after toning and the 1% BHA gel. It feels great and does not make me break out. My skin is aging but breakout prone, although I have not broken out in years due to a combination of birth-control pills and PC products, which are brilliant.
I rated this 5 stars because the first couple of times I used it I loved it. I didn't need a cotton pad with it and it had loads of amazing ingredients, and the best thing was is that it didn't break me out. After one week of consistent use my face got extremely red and irritated. I did not use it for 3 days and my skin went back to normal. So I decided to use it again after those three days to make sure this was the culprit, and it was. I cant pinpoint which ingredient did it though.
We're sorry you had a bad experience with this toner. Please contact us to arrange for a refund or exchange.
LOVE THIS!!!! It has a slightly thicker consistency than the rest of her toners, and I love the feeling of it, and it absorbs very quickly. I have extremely acne prone skin so I was wary of trying this because some people got acne like symptoms from it, but I did not have a reaction. It repaired my skin and quickly helped to fade my discoloration from acne. It was slightly hydrating, and did not sting my face when I used it. I absolutely love the ingredients in this. I will buy the full product.
I have used the Earth Source cleanser and toner for about 6 months now, and I think they are wonderful products. The cleanser removes all of my makeup and is great with my clarisonic at bedtime. I use the toner as my combination toner/serum/moisturizer because I have very oily, acne prone, sensitive skin; and this product mixed with the C15 twice a day has made my skin the best it has EVER been in my life (and I am 62). And the best part is they are also very reasonably priced!
I think I'm used to toners having alcohol and being more liquidy but I think Paula's Choice toner's are more of a lotion which I'm just not used to. Because of this you need way more on the cotton ball or pad to feel like you are really getting enough on your skin. I didn't see any adverse effects from using this for a week so no complaints I just didn't see anything spectacular that would make me want to buy the full size. But there are no scary ingredients or alcohol so that's good!
I've used PC antioxidant serums in the past, and I'd always break out. But since Paula highly recommends antioxidants and customers are always saying it brings your skin to the "next level", I thought I'd try the toner. It feels lovely and I really liked it but after about a month my skin was so clogged it was disgusting. It's been about a month since quitting and I'm finally close to normal. I usually only get inflammatory acne so the clogging was unbearable. Really wanted this to work :(
We're so sorry this toner didn't work for you. To answer your question though, antioxidants, especially in aqueous or extract form, are highly unlikely to clog pores.
Best toner I've ever tried. Really soothing after shaving or when my skin feels a little dry. I love putting it on in the morning underneath a moisturizer + sunscreen. My skin looks really healthy and feels moisturized thanks to this product. I would say for those with really oily skin or really dry skin to try another product, simply because of the texture of this one. For every other skin type this is an amazing buy. Great value for an amazing toner.
The texture is nice and it applies and dries easily. Unfortunately it did not help my dry flaky skin at all and I got 6 new pimples the 2 days I was using it. There are so many plant extracts that I can't be sure which one caused my breakout. For reference I usually get 3-4 pimples a month and I haven't gotten a single new one since I stopped using this.
Thanks for your review! We suspect the pimples you observed weren't true breakouts (these take weeks to form and show on the surface) but rather an irritant dermatitis, which is a type of reaction that comes on suddenly and, confusingly, can resemble breakouts. You may be allergic to one or more of the natural ingredients in this toner. We're happy to help you select another toner or provide a refund; just contact us and we'll work it out!
My skin was peeling so badly that it looked like I was recovering from a sunburn. I didn't even want to go out in public that is how awful I felt. I ordered this because it said it could help with irritation and skin recovery toner wasn't helping. OMG I saw OVERNIGHT results! My skin still has a little surface dryness but the peeling is gone! I have used it for 2 days now and the results are sincerely dramatic! Now that it is on sale I am stocking up as I now can't live without! Thank you Paula!
Currently using the clear-liquid of pore-refining toner from PC line, but got a sample of this and tried it, and completely fell in love! It's not clear, but more milky and creamy, but my skin absorbs it so well and it feels moisturized after just the use of this. I did use a generous amount. I actually don't see much effect of the pore-refining toner, and it stings my face just a little bit, I will buy this one after I use up my current one. Great product!
I bought Clear Regular Strength Acne, Earth Sourced Toner, Resist C15, Redness Relief, Hydralight lotion, Hydralight Shine-Free SPF30, Shine Stopper together.
Toner is more viscous than normal, nice smell but not much effect. I use toner in daytime and exfoliant as toner at night. Don't think I will buy it again as there's not much difference but could be due to other stronger products I'm using.
I was using the antioxidant serums but along with all the other PC products I use, it was getting too pricey. So I switched to this because it's packed with antioxidants and you get much more product for less money. So now I used MB cleanser, followed by Hyralight Toner, then the 1% BHA, and then mix Earth Sourced toner with a few drops of the C-15 serum and pat that on my face. Follow with moisturizer (to which I often add a drop of argan oil and pump of hyaluronic acid from other lines.)
I have very oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin and I use this after I wash my face. I just squirt a dime on my fingers and rub it all over. It soothes and lightly moisturizes so that whatever treatments I apply after go on more smoothly and evenly. It does not cause acne at all. If I forget to use it, I can tell because my skin is more irritated, red, and flaky. It's full of natural ingredients, too. Have repurchased many times and will again.
My skin is dry, and stress aged. Roscea.
Is not drying.
Soothing, in fact.
Miracle all residue of makeup , dirt, etc gone.
I actually use it all over my sensitivd skin.
Pls large bottle.
Like the cleanser too
Btw a small amt goes long way. I use cotton.
Spa in a bottle
This is by far the best PC toner--have tried 3 in past. In the summer, I use it as a moisturizer applied with my fingers followed by an antioxidant serum, tanner, then sunscreen. In the winter, I do the same but add PC Skin Bal. gel moisturizer. I thought I could go without for the winter, and my skin got seriously dry. I really missed it, so I placed another order just to get it. I hope it is kept as a permanent line. The smell is very light and pleasant and the texture is like a thick water.
I have used several toners over the years and this is easily the best. It's soothing and has substance - I like that it isn't drying but provides antioxidant benefits to the skin. I have very oily skin and this doesn't worsen acne - proving that witch hazel and alcohol do not need to be included to have a great toner! I love using this after cleansing for an additional cleanse and pre-moisture.
This is the last paulas toner on my list and I hope I saved the best for last. Through trial and error I have discovered I can't use the silicones in others (breaks me out) and Niacinamide and Willow burn horribly so this is my only option. It feels a little thick, kind of a strange texture but so far no breakouts. Hopefully this will work for me - fingers crossed.
This is my favorite winter toner. I have dry but also acne-prone skin during winter time and I can't use any skin care that contains alcohol, silicone, and willow herb extract as they will cause me break out! I realized although PC toners are free of alcohol, they still contain either one of the two remaining ingredients, which gave me hard time to look for a good winter toner. FINALLY, IT IS HERE. I'm so glad Paula has created this toner without using silicone and willow herb!
I ordered a few samples of this and I am totally in love and can't wait to purchase the full size. I have a lot of redness in my cheeks and although this doesn't make huge claims to help combat redness, I found that it calmed my skin so much and my skin looked so even after using this! It has a wonderful texture that's slightly creamy so I feel normal, combo, and dry skin would like this. I've noticed a reduction of breakouts too which is great!:)
This one is not only toner but also make my skin younger from antioxidant ingredient. Can use this both daily toner and weekly cotton mask. Very love it!!!!
I also use this product as a detangler on fine straight hair. I rub a small amount in the palm of my hands and work it through dry hair. It truly makes brushing out tangles much easier without the overpowering fragrance of most other detanglers on the market.
This was the first toner I used from Paula's Choice. It's white-milky in appearance and fluid like. I found that it was easy enough to spread without a cotton pad, though you would probably be using too much. I enjoyed it and learned that my skin would drink it up, and it left some nice moisture on my skin. I like the fact that this has mostly plant extracts, while only mentioning phenylalanine as an odd ingredient you find in artificial sweeteners but I'm sure it's no big deal.
After I had a negative reaction to the Moisture Boost toner, customer service went out of their way to make things right and sent this for me to try. It works wonders, sometimes is the only moisturizing my skin needs. Even hubby has been stealing to use after shaving.

How can a toner improve my baby's skin?
What do toners "tone"? I thought Paula didn't recommend toners!
How do I know which toner is right for me? Besides skin type, what are the main differences between Paula's Choice toners?
All of our toners restore skin, help remove last traces of makeup, are alcohol- and fragrance-free, and contain no unnecessary irritants such as menthol, peppermint, and citrus oils. They are great as an adjunct to a more thorough cleansing routine, especially post-workout or in hot/humid climates. Even more significantly, they go beyond the basics by offering skin benefits you can see and feel.
Resist Advanced Replenishing Toner is a specialized formula designed to supply normal to dry aging skin with a broad range of ingredients it needs to produce healthy collagen while reducing wrinkles. It is a super-charged version of our popular Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner, with a specific emphasis on improving the signs of aging skin.
Resist Weightless Advanced Repairing Toner is a specialised formula designed to supply normal to oily or breakout-prone aging skin with a broad range of targeted ingredients to help improve signs of aging plus reduce enlarged pores and reduce dry, flaky, uneven skin texture. It is ideal for those struggling with oily skin, wrinkles, and large pores.
Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner for normal to very dry skin is an excellent choice for those who need more help protecting their skin from environmental damage or dryness. Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner has a richer texture than any of our other toners and contains more plant oils and other emollients than our Moisture Boost Essential Hydrating Toner. This is a great option for dry to very dry skin, extremely sun damaged skin, or those dealing with eczema or rosacea accompanied by dry skin.
Moisture Boost Essential Hydrating Toner contains ingredients that help soothe and restore normal to dry skin, plus it includes a greater amount of glycerin, a key ingredient to make dry skin look and feel better. It also contains a broad range of ingredients that aid the barrier repair process so those with dry skin (or normal skin with occasional dry patches) will receive even more benefit from their Paula's Choice moisturizer and/or specialty product. Moisture Boost Essential Hydrating Toner feels lighter than our Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner, yet still provides an array of antioxidants, anti-irritants, and skin-protecting ingredients. To get the benefits of both toners for normal to dry skin, you can use Moisture Boost Essential Hydrating Toner in the morning and Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner in the evening.
Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Toner for normal to oily/combination skin is excellent for protecting skin from environmental damage or dryness. In addition, its cell-communicating ingredients can, in theory, help balance skin so its oily areas do not worsen or lead to reddened or blemished skin. Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Toner uses a more complex formulation than our Hydralight Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner, and helps restore normal cell function.
Hydralight Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner is an excellent choice for normal to oily/combination skin. It provides a weightless finish, and although it feels very light, it supplies skin with potent antioxidants and anti-irritants. Hydralight Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner is a great option for those who want more protection and a soothing, soft, feeling on their skin, particularly those with sensitive skin. To get the benefits of both toners for normal to oily/combination skin, you may want use Hydralight Healthy Skin Refreshing Toner in the morning and Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Toner in the evening.
Earth Sourced Purely Natural Refreshing Toner is for all skin types. It has a distinctive, liquid-gel formula bursting with antioxidants proven to repair skin and stimulate collagen production. The formula uses proprietary technology that truly captures the best of nature and modern science.

Green Party
|Green Party
|Year created:
The Green Party began as a series of movements in the 1970s in New Zealand. In 1984, the Green Party met in Minnesota and voted on their "10 Key Values" platform. In 1990, Alaska was the first state to put the party on the ballot, but disagreements over how to participate in the political process. The disagreements halted the growth of the party. In 1996, state Green Parties joined together and formed the Association of State Green Parties. In 2000, they became the Green Party of the United States. They obtained national party status with the Federal Election Commission in 2001.[1]
The Green Party in the United States has won elected office mostly at the local level; most winners of public office in the United States who are considered Greens have won nonpartisan-ballot elections (that is, the winning Greens won offices in elections in which candidates were not identified on the ballot as affiliated with any political party).[2] The highest-ranking Greens ever elected in the nation were Richard Carroll[3] who is a member of the Arkansas House of Representatives elected in 2008, John Eder who was a member of the Maine House of Representatives 2002-2006, and Audie Bock, who was elected to the California State Assembly in 1999 but switched her registration to Independent seven months later[4] running as an independent in the 2000 election.[5] In 2005, the Party had 305,000 registered members in states that allow party registration, as well as tens of thousands of members and contributors in the rest of the country.[6] During the 2006 elections the party had ballot access in 31 states.[7]
State affiliates
In some states, the Green Party has affiliates under different names.
Mountain Party
The Mountain Party is the West Virginia affiliate of the Green Party.[8]
The Mountain Party came into existence as a ballot-qualified political party in 2000, when novelist Denise Giardina ran for Governor of West Virginia as a candidate of the party and won more than 1% of the vote. West Virginia's election laws say that when a party's candidate for governor achieves 1% or more of the vote for governor in the most recent general election, the party will be defined as ballot-qualified and can run candidates under its ballot label.[9]
2010 candidates:
- Jesse Clarence Johnson Jr., candidate for U.S. Senate, in the special election to replace Robert Byrd, and for District 32, West Virginia House of Delegates[10]
- David Bruce Hall, candidate for District 17, West Virginia State Senate[10]
- Mark Steven Myers, candidate for District 11, West Virginia House of Delegates[10]
Progressive Party of Missouri
The Progressive Party of Missouri is the official affiliate of the Green Party in the State of Missouri[11]. The Progressive Party of Missouri has a platform that is compatible with the by-laws of the national Green Party[12].
2010 candidates:
- Midge Potts, candidate for the United States Senate seat vacated by the retirement of Kit Bond.
- Nicholas Ladendorf, candidate for United States Congress in Missouri's 7th District[13].
The Progressive Party of Missouri did not qualify any candidates for state legislature on the 2010 ballot[14].
In 2000, the Green Party ratified the 10 Key Values. They are as follows:[15]
- Grassroots democracy
- Social justice and equal opportunities
- Ecological wisdom
- Non-violence
- Decentralization
- Community-based economics and economic justice
- Feminism and gender equity
- Respect for diversity
- Personal and global responsibility
- Future focus and sustainability
2012 elections
In 2012, the Green Party ran 7 candidates for the U.S. Senate and 64 candidates for the U.S. House. The following is an abbreviated list:[16]

Beautiful quinceañera invitations
I was a little hesitant at first about ordering the invitations online. I had offered to purchase and order them for my little cousin's Sweet 15th. My aunt, uncle, and neice LOVED them when they saw them. My aunt was also nervous on how they were going to come out at first until she saw the final product. The Delivery was also very fast. I was very surprised and impressed. Let's just say when the time comes to order invitations for any special occasion I will order from here again. Thank you MagnetStreet for a wonderful and easy experience and transaction.

Questions & Answers
Low Price Guarantee
Please measure the circumference of your chest in inches using a cloth tape measure and choose the size from the chart below.
Also choose next size up if you will be wearing multiple layers under the jacket.
Comment: Great quality for a great price. Only problem was size. Purchased a size small for my 3 year old, but the jacket is so big it fits my 10 year old. She loves it. Going to try the x-small for my toddler.
Lowville, NY
Comment: I received the jacket I ordered from you on time and was very pleased with the quality and fit. I ordered it for my granddaughter for her birthday.
Comment: My grand daughter loved the jacket. Great quality and price.
Brunswick, GA
Comment: bought this jacket for my little girl great fit and good product, like everything else i have purchased from Jafrum
Comment: My daugther love it. Where can I get the matching pants.
Comment: Appears to be a good quality jacket and a nice quilt liner. It looks so cute on our Princess.
Barbara Biggs
Wellton, AZ
Comment: Great quality but the sizing was off. Should have gone with a XL or 2XL if she was going to wear more than one winter.
Mike L
Comment: Initial jacket arrived smaller than anticipated, returned it with an explanation and within one week had a perfectly sized jacket for my granddaughter. I would do business again with Jafrum in a minute.
Comment: Decent lil jacket. Quality seems pretty good. Sizes do seem to run a bit on the small side. I will order another one next year.
Everette WV
Comment: Wonderful jacket, but had to return it since it was smaller than what we need. Plan to buy a bigger size.
Comment: Perfect fit and great quality!
Kafe Utza
Comment: My daughter's new school jacket is a L (14/16) and it's big on her, so I figure an XL would be fine. I can barely stuff her into it. Going to go with the 3X so she can put a hoodie under it. Other than the size running EXTREMELY small, it's a great jacket!
New Jersey
Comment: My 4 year old daughter loves her jacket! The leather is thick, and my wife feels better knowing our little girl is wearing it while riding with me.
Vince F
Brampton, ON
Comment: I measured my neice and came up with a 30 inch chest so I figured a size small would do just fine - I was wrong these jackets run small and the jacket fit her very snug - I exchanged the jacket for an extra large - This jacket fit her but was a little big - This was just fine for me because it leaves some room to grow - I believe this jacket will last 3-4 years before she outgrows it. Thier jacket is nice and looks great on a 7 year old little girl.
Scarsdale, New York
Comment: Writing to say I am disappointed, I waited too long to put my order threw, now the jacket is out of stock. I have one sad Grandaughter, she was looking forward for her Pink Motorcycle Jacket.
I know this would have been a great jacket so I rated even though I physically did not see and feel it.
Donna Siciliano
Adams, Massachusetts
Comment: This jacket is well worth the money. I wasnt quite sure of the size, was a little big for my granddaughter, but leaves room for growth. LOVE IT
Cindy Todor
Franktown, Colorado
Comment: I ordered it for my 7 year old daughter. She just loves it. I think the quality is great for the price and I thought is was pretty true to size. Seams are sewn very well.
Comment: I got this for my four year old grand daughter and thought it would look cute with a purple ballet skirt and black boots. It does, she is a very stylish girl and she loved the jacket, tho they run large...
Barbara Peschl
Comment: My daughter loves this jacket. The quality is excellent. I was a bit hesitant about the sizing after reading a few reviews, but decided to order the small for my 8 year old. Albeit she is a small 8 yr old (wears 7/8 shirt size). It fits her perfect. The medium would have been too large. I am very happy with this purchase and it arrived quickly too!
Washington State
Comment: Was worried about sizing but was right on ! Well made leather jacket. My 8 year old daughter loves it. She wears it when she is riding her electric scooter,to school & when she rides with me on the Harley.This was bought for the protection that leather provides & kids real leather jackets are hard to find ! Great leather jacket ! AAA +++
Richard Cain
Comment: Very nice jacket. Extremely fast shipping. Runs true to size.
Plum Branch, SC
Comment: we got this for our granddaughter for Christmas. I am sure she will love it. now she will look like grandpa! except she will be pink!! LOL
John Deichert
Comment: This was a gift and all I can say is delivery was prompt.
Winter Haven, FL
Comment: We bought this for our daughter to riding with. From reading the other reviews we decided to go 1-2 sizes larger and glad we did it fit almost perfect. Product shipped quick and seems to be made well.

The KJ742 isn't a really a kids jacket. It's a grown up's jacket that's just too small for grown ups to fit into. It's made of the same durable materials and has the same features as the larger versions. The 742 is made of high quality top grain leather and is available in black or brown. The listings for the two colors are separate, so be sure the color pictured is the color you want. To easily find the listing for the other color, look to the right in the Related Products column. The KJ742 is unisex and available in Kids sizes small to five XL. It is not the same sizing as their play clothes though. You will need to take measurements of your child and refer to the size chart at the bottom of the product listing. The measurements needed are chest circumference, and the outside sleeve length. The outside sleeve length measurement begins at the shoulder seem, with this jacket, as opposed to the middle of the neck as with some brands. The size chart also features a column called length, which is the distance between the top of the collar and the bottom of the jacket's waistband.The quality and features of the 742 really are that of its adult counter-part. They feature heavy duty zippers that can be zipped all the way to the neckline by unsnapping the lapels. They have three exterior pockets, including two zippered hand warmer pockets and a snap closed watch pocket. There is a buckle type waist belt for adjustability and epaulette holders on the shoulders for added style. Looking at the back of the jacket, you can really get a good look at the quality of the leather, and the zippered gussets at the cuffs of the sleeves for easy on and off. Inside the 742, you'll find the removable quilted thermal liner and the two interior pockets. You can see that this really is the real deal when it comes to a top quality riding jacket for your miniature biker type person.

The C# Ecosystem is a Set of Plugins
The C# Ecosystem offers the following plugins:
- Mandatory plugins:
- Optional plugins adding features from external tools:
- .NET FxCop: launches FxCop analyses to detect violations relating to potential bugs, tight coupling, globalization, etc.
- .NET Gendarme: launches Gendarme analyses to detect violations relating to coding bad practices, smell detection, performance, etc
- .NET Gallio: launches Gallio to run tests and gets execution report as well as coverage report (using PartCover or OpenCover or NCover or ...).
- .NET NDeps: launches a dependency parser tool, built on Mono Cecil, to get dependency data between assemblies and classes.
- C# StyleCop: launches StyleCop analyses to detect violations mainly relating to coding style (formatting, comments, ...).
The C# Ecosystem has the following requirements on top of the Sonar ones:
- Your C# code base must be developed with Visual Studio, and thus must contain a ".sln" file (.NET Solution).
- If you want test metrics, unit tests must be isolated from the main code base in dedicated Visual Studio Projects. Also the test framework must be compatible with Gallio.
Supported versions are:
C# language
Up to 4.0
.NET framework
2.0, 3.5 and 4.0
3 and 4
Visual Studio
Tested with VS 2008 and VS 2010 ".sln" files.
Older versions may also be supported (feel free to give feedback)
Installing the C# Ecosystem Plugins
- Download the zip archive that contains the latest version of the C# Ecosystem plugins and unzip it
- Copy the plugins you need into the SONAR_HOME/extensions/plugins directory
- Restart the Sonar server
Installing the External Tools
Depending on which plugins you chose to install, you may need to install the corresponding external tools. If you can, we advise you to install the same versions as the one we use for testing (i.e. the one in bold in the below table).
Install required if plugin selected?
Web site / download / install guide
Supported versions (Tested one in bold)

Boeing KC-135 tanker crashes in Kyrgyzstan
In this Feb. 6, 2009 image provided by the U.S. Air Force a KC-135 Stratotanker takes off from Manas Air Base, Kyrgyzstan, for a refueling mission over Afghanistan. An American KC-135 military refueling plane carrying three crew members crashed Friday, May 3, 2013, in the rugged mountains of Kyrgyzstan, the Central Asian nation where the U.S. operates an air base key to the war in Afghanistan.

MOSCOW -- Witnesses say a U.S. tanker airplane that crashed Friday in northern Kyrgyzstan caught fire and broke apart in the air, according to local officials.
Emergency response crews were dispatched to the scene, but the fate of the crew was not immediately known.
The U.S. Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker, which is used to refuel planes over Afghanistan, took off from Manas International Airport near Bishkek, the capital of the central Asian nation, U.S. and local officials said.
"At about (3:20 p.m. local time), we received information that a U.S. fueling plane disappeared off the radar," Azamat Mambetov, an official with Kyrgyzstan's Emergency Situations Ministry said by phone from Bishkek.
"Shortly after this news, we got a telephone call from a resident of an area about 40 miles west of Bishkek that a big explosion was heard in the local mountains."
Ministry officials initially reported that the plane was carrying five crew members, but later revised the figure to three.
A statement from the 376th Air Expeditionary Wing, the U.S. Air Force unit based at Manas, did not specify how many people were aboard. The cause of the crash was under investigation, the statement said.
A local official told a Russian news agency that residents were reporting that the crash site was engulfed in flames.
"According to eyewitnesses' accounts, the plane caught fire and broke in half while still up in the air," Bolot Shershenaliev, a senior emergency ministry official told the Rossiya 24 television channel. "They even said that they saw parachutes, but no parachutes have been found."
The United States has a base at the airport in Manas, which it uses for transit operations to and from Afghanistan. The lease expires in 2014 and will not be extended, Kyrgyzstan President Almazbek Atambayev said last year.
Friday's crash was the third in less than a week involving aircraft used by the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan. On Monday, seven civilians were killed when a U.S.-contracted cargo plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Bagram air field, north of the Afghan capital, Kabul. On Saturday, four U.S. airmen were killed when a military turboprop plane crashed in southern Afghanistan.

Were you looking instead for AFP Maternal, ordered during pregnancy?
At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
When to Get Tested?
When your doctor suspects that you have certain cancers of the liver, testes, or ovaries; at intervals during and after treatment for one of these cancers; sometimes when you have chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in the arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in the blood. AFP is a protein produced primarily by fetal liver and the portion of a developing embryo that is similar to the yolk cavity in bird eggs (yolk sac tissues). AFP concentrations are typically elevated when a baby is born and then decline rapidly. In healthy children and non-pregnant adults, AFP is normally only detectable at very low levels.
Liver damage and certain cancers can increase AFP concentrations significantly. AFP is produced whenever liver cells are regenerating. With chronic liver diseases, such as hepatitis and cirrhosis, AFP may be chronically elevated. Very high concentrations of AFP may be produced by certain tumors. This characteristic makes the AFP test useful as a tumor marker. Increased amounts of AFP are found in many people with a type of liver cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma and in a liver cancer occurring in infants called hepatoblastoma. They are also found in some people with cancers of the testes and ovaries.
AFP exists in several different variants. Traditionally, when a doctor orders an AFP test, it is for a total AFP, one that measures all of the AFP variants together. This is the primary AFP test in the United States.
One of the variants is called L3 because of its ability, in the laboratory, to bind to a particular protein called Lens culinaris agglutinin. The AFP-L3% test is a relatively new test that compares the amount of AFP-L3 to the total amount of AFP. An increase in the percentage of L3 is associated with increased risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma in the near future and of having a poorer prognosis, as the L3-related cancers tend to be more aggressive. The AFP-L3% test is being ordered by a few doctors in the U.S. and is in wider use in some other countries, such as Japan.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is taken by needle from a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Last season, it looked like Nashville might be cancelled but ABC decided to renew the show instead. Will the ratings rise in season two so its future is assured or will the numbers drop so it cancelled this time? We'll have to wait and see.
The Nashville TV show revolves around a rising country star (Hayden Panettiere) and a legendary superstar (Connie Britton) whose fame is fading. Others in the cast are Charles Esten, Eric Close, Clare Bowen, Sam Palladio, Jonathan Jackson, Chris Carmack, Lennon Stella, and Maisy Stella.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show's likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
How are your shows doing? Check the season rankings: ABC | CBS | The CW |FOX | NBC
5/10 update: Nashville has been renewed for a third season of 22 episodes by ABC.
Final season averages: 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.34 million total viewers.
Note: If you're not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: The first season of Nashville averaged a 1.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.94 million total viewers.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an "*"). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like the Nashville TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a third season?

Korean Capitalism in Search of New Paradigms
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is pleased to sponsor a lecture on Korean capitalism by Dr. Sang Mok Suh. During his address Suh will examine the causes of the recent financial crisis in South Korea and evaluate the government's response from the perspective of paradigm shift in economic management.
A visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Suh has a distinguished record of scholarly research, legislative leadership, and public service-both at home and abroad. After receiving his B.A. from Amherst College and his Ph.D. in economics from Stanford University, he worked at the World Bank as an economist (1973-78) and at the Korea Development Institute (a government think-tank in Seoul) as a senior fellow and vice president (1978-88). Suh wrote a number of articles, reports, and books on Korean economic issues, including Structural Adjustment in a Newly Industrialized Country: Lessons from the Korean Experience (Oxford Press, 1988).
Suh served as a member of the South Korean National Assembly for 12 years and as Minister of Health and Welfare from 1993 to 1995. He focused on issues such as finance, environment, population, national health insurance, and national pension plans. In 1997 he managed the presidential campaign of Hoe Hang Lee, who was defeated by President Dae Jung Kim. Suh also served as a high-level advisory board member to the U.N. Secretary General on sustainable development. After leaving the National Assembly in 2000, Suh is now writing a book with emphasis on new paradigms for Korean capitalist development
Election Night Commentary
Election Night Celebration
The American Republic at work! As this year's presidential election rolls around, we at the Athenaeum thought it important to foster the atmosphere of bipartisanship, respect, community and dignity that should accompany this historic election year... until we realized that we were dead wrong. So, if you're looking forward to having some good, ol' fashioned, partisan, biased, and heckle-filled fun, the Ath is the place to be on election night. Plans for the evening include watching the results as they appear on the major networks and cable while dining on traditional American cuisine- including apple pie! Also, you may expect short speeches from the College Republicans, Democrats, and anyone else who has a (reasonably suitable) comment to make. Red, white, and blue clothing is encouraged.
The cover of the June 3, 1991 issue of Time magazine pictured a thoroughly distraught-looking Katie Koestner. During the previous school year, Koestner had been dating a fellow schoolmate for a few weeks. One night after a dinner date, they returned to her dorm where he raped her. Unlike so many other young women in the same situation, Koestner went public, thus helping to bring about discussion of this "crime of silence."
Ms. Koestner holds degrees in public policy and women's studies from William and Mary College, where she graduated magna cum laude, and is a certified peer educator and sexual assault counselor. Since 1990, she has presented her acclaimed program "No/Yes" at over 800 colleges and universities. She has also been featured on the Oprah Winfry Show, Larry King Live, Good Morning America, and more than 35 other programs. In 1993 she completed a project with HBO's Lifestories Docudramas titled No Visible Bruises: The Katie Koestner Story.
Ms. Koestner was partly responsible for the passage of the Campus Sexual Assault Victim's Bill of Rights, which President Bush signed into law in 1991. She has coauthored a number of books and manuals on sexual assault, and is working on a new book, tentatively titled Without Consent (2001), chronicling her travels and talks during her crusade against sexual assault on college campuses. Katie Koestner's visit to CMC is cosponsored by the Dean of Students and Women's Forum
Wrongful Convictions: Causes and Remedies; What Is to be Done?
In the last ten years DNA testing has uncovered stone-cold proof that in the United States eighty innocent people have been sent to prison and death row. Yet no intense investigation of the criminal justice system has ensued. Peter Neufeld, as cofounder and director of The Innocence Project, represents more than two hundred inmates seeking post-conviction release through DNA testing. Since its beginnings, The Innocence Project has been responsible in whole or in part for exonerating more than forty clients. Actual Innocence: Five Days to Execution, and Other Dispatches from the Wrongly Convicted, coauthored by Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld, was published in February 2000. This nonfiction book grew out of the cases and stories of The Innocence Project. The Washington Post says it "ought to be required reading for anyone who believes that only the guilty are put to death."
Neufeld is in private practice, specializing in criminal defense, civil rights, and constitutional litigation. Victims of police brutality, pursuing civil rights claims in the courts and seeking systematic change, frequently retain him. Neufeld represented Abner Louima, A Hatian-American tortured by cops in a precinct bathroom. When not acting as primary council, Neufeld provides pro bono services to dozens of lawyers representing the accused in death penally cases. Neufeld is cochair of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers DNA Task Force. In 1995 he was appointed by the Governor to serve on the New York State Commission on Forensic Science with responsibility for regulating all state and local crime laboratories.
A 1972 graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Peter Neufeld received his law degree in 1975 from the New York University School of Law. He appears at the Athenaeum as part of the series Psychology and Law.
History of Communications Infrastructure or From Smoke Signals to the Internet
In 1997 Newsweek listed Randy H. Katz as one of the "100 Americans for the Next Century." The editors noted that "this is not a list of the great and powerful, or the beautiful and celebritous. Our object has been to take a snapshot of the future, framing some of the personalities whose creativity or talent or brains or leadership will make a difference in the years ahead."
Katz joined the faculty of the University of Berkeley in 1983 after receiving both his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from that institution. He is now the United Microelectronics Corporation Distinguished Professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He is a fellow of the ACM and the IEEE and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.
Katz has published over 180 technical papers, book chapters, and books. His hardware design textbook, Contemporary Logic Design (1993), has sold over 85,000 copies worldwide. He has won numerous awards, including seven best paper awards, one "test of time" paper award, three best presentation awards, the Berkeley Distinguished Teacher Award, and the 1999 ACM Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award.
With his colleagues at Berkeley, Katz developed Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (RAID), an $18 billion per year industry sector today. While on leave for government service in 1993-1994, he established whitehouse.gov and connected the White House to the Internet. His current research interests include Internet services architecture, mobile computing, and computer-telephony integration.
Moving Forward Without Forgetting (Avanzando y No Olvidanda)
Some high school counselors have been known to give poor advice to their students. One example of such misguided counsel was when a young Hispanic woman from Laredo, Texas, was told that, coming from a barrio (Spanish for "ghetto"), she should give up any dreams she might have for a higher education and a professional career. Little did that counselor know that this young woman would not only go on to receive degrees in both law enforcement and cybernetics, but also would become the highest-ranking Hispanic woman in the combat support field of the U.S. Army, being put on the General Officer track before her retirement as a Lieutenant Colonel.
Following a distinguished military career, she retired in 1996 and is currently president of the consulting firm Educational Achievement Services, Inc. in San Antonio, Texas. Her main work has been with young people in the areas of teen pregnancy prevention, gang violence, and education-empowering people to make the right choices for success in both their personal and academic lives.
During her military career she was highly decorated, receiving many awards including the Legion of Merit, Meritorious Service Medal (four times), the Army Achievement Medal (twice), and the National Defense Service Medal. In her civilian life she has also been honored with the YWCA Lifetime Achievement Award and was inducted into the San Antonio Women's Hall of Fame
Japan's Identity Dilemma in Asia
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2000 12:15 p.m.
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is pleased to sponsor a lecture by Professor Takatoshi Kato. In his luncheon address Kato will discuss a number of important issues-such as a development of "flying-geese" and "leap-frogging" patterns in Asia, an unimpressive but steady improvement of Japan's economic outlook, a redefinition of the changing triangle among Japan, Korea, and China, and Japan's relations with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). As the Freeman Foundation Visiting Professor of Asian Affairs, Kato team-teaches the class "The Asian Financial Crisis and After" at CMC.
Professor Kato received a B.A. degree from Tokyo University and his M.P.A. degree from Princeton University. He had a distinguished career in the Japanese Ministry of Finance for 33 years; he served as director-general of the Bureau of International Finance and Vice Minister for International Affairs (l995-1997). He was a staff economist at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in Paris and executive director at the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Manila.
Upon his retirement from the Ministry of Finance Kato was appointed as special advisor to the Japanese Minister of Finance and as advisor to the president of the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. In the 1998-1999 academic year he taught at the Woodrow Wilson School, Princeton University. Lunch is served at 11:45. Kato will speak at 12:15.
The Threshold of Objectivity
In a New York Times review acclaimed journalist Amy Wilentz writes of the author of The Immaculate Invasion (1999): "[Bob] Shacochis is not objective, and his goal is not to be objective. His goal is to tell the truth, as best he can." Of just how capable Shacochis is of reaching that objective, Wilentz offers that, in his report on the 1994 American invasion of Haiti, the author "proves that he is a writer of rare grace and intuition. . . . Depicting the United States mission that returned Haiti's first democratically-elected President [to power], Shacochis never stumbles and never turns a blind eye."
Shacochis took an unconventional path to his Caribbean beat. "I had been attracted by photographs in Surfer magazine of the waves down there," he admitted in a recent interview. "I wanted to go surf and the pictures of palm trees seduced me." A stint in the Peace Corps and an M.F.A. from the Iowa Writer's Workshop preceded Shacochis authoring several books, including the novels Swimming in the Volcano (1993) and Easy on the Islands (1985), which won the American Book Award for Short Fiction. Shacochis is currently a contributing editor at Harper's and coeditor of the New Virginia Review.
In his Athenaeum presentation, the fourth of five in the Gould Center series Freedom, Power, and Persuasion: New Directions in Political Journalism in the 21st Century, Shacochis will describe how his journalism and fiction writing inform and complement each other. "There certainly is a sense of balance and a sense of release going from one discipline to the other," he asserts. "Writing fiction involves you with an aesthetic landscape that is not at all a priority in writing journalism. Writing journalism allows me to engage with the world in a way that I can never do writing fiction . . . ."
Making Peace in Northern Ireland
4:00 p.m., MARY PICKFORD AUDITORIUM
Senator George Mitchell had an illustrious career in the United States Senate that spanned 14 years. He was first appointed in 1980 to complete the unexpired term of Senator Edmund Muskie, who resigned to become Secretary of State. He was elected to a full term in the Senate in 1982. In 1988 he was reelected with 81 percent of the vote, the largest margin in Maine history. For six consecutive years he was voted "the most respected member" of the Senate by a bipartisan group of senior congressional aides. In 1995 he left the Senate as the Majority Leader, a position he had held since January 1989.
Recently, Senator Mitchell served as chairman of the peace negotiations in Northern Ireland. Under his leadership a historic accord was agreed upon by the governments of Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the political parties of Northern Ireland. In 1998 the voters of Northern and Southern Ireland endorsed this agreement. Senator Mitchell's leadership in Northern Ireland earned him praise worldwide.
Senator Mitchell is the author of several books including Not For America Alone: The Triumph of Democracy and The Fall of Communism (1997), and World on Fire: Saving an Endangered World (1991). After leaving the Senate, Senator Mitchell joined the Washington firm of Verner, Liipfert, Bernhard, McPherson and Hand. He now serves as a director of Walt Disney Company, Federal Express Corporation, Xerox Corporation, UNUM Insurance Corporation, KTI Inc., Unilever, Staples, and Starwood Hotels and Resorts. Senator George Mitchell appears at the Athenaeum as one of the Claremont McKenna College Res Publica speakers.
Freedom, Power, and Persuasion
In a University of Missouri survey veteran reporter Paul Duke was named "most fair and respected reporter" among national network news correspondents. Duke's thoroughness and impartialitv have also won him the respect and admiration of his colleagues and brought him numerous awards and citations, including induction into the Washington Journalism Hall of Fame.
Duke, the last of five speakers in the Gould Center series Freedom, Power, and Persuasion: New Directions in Political Journalism in the 21st Century, describes a disquieting trend in contemporary journalism: "The tabloid press is increasingly driving the regular press. The lower common denominator is starting to prevail within the national media." He is especially pessimistic and critical of the direction that television news coverage ("an illustrated headline service," in his words) has taken. "The whole idea that news is entertainment is one of the worst trends which has happened in my profession."
For twenty years Duke was the moderator of the PBS news program Washington Week in Review. Since the early 1960s, he has interviewed virtually every important political leader and covered nearly all of the major Washington news stories. Duke, who has also written for The New York Times, The New Republic, The Saturday Evening Post, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal, says of his career: "The greatest freedom is to be able to do what you like to do, and to me, there's nothing more rewarding than being able to pursue and publicize the truth."

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Miami University softball team dropped a tough 7-0 decision to Western Kentucky University on Saturday at the Hilltopper Spring Fling. The RedHawks fall to 3-4 on the season, while the Lady Hilltoppers improve to 7-4-1.
WKU pitcher Hannah Miniard was on top of her game Saturday, allowing only one RedHawk hit. Miami also got on base via three walks and one hit by pitch.
The RedHawks best chance to score came in the top of the fourth. Senior designated player Allie Larrabee led off with a single up the middle. She was replaced by pinch-runner, sophomore Tanya Busby. Sophomore first baseman Jenna Modic was hit by a pitch, moving Busby up to second. After the Lady Toppers recorded two outs, a wild pitch moved Modic and Busby up to second and third. Junior shortstop Kylie McChesney drew a walk to load the bases, but Miniard was able to get the third out on a popup to end the threat.
WKU scored three runs in the second, a single run in the fourth and three more runs in the sixth for its scoring. The Lady Toppers had 13 hits on the day.
Miami completes play at the Hilltopper Spring Fling on Sunday when it takes on Bradley at 1:30 p.m. (EST).

GARETH DUNCAN reports on the Saffas who impressed in Europe over the weekend.
The English Premiership, French Top 14 and Pro12 were all on break as the top northern hemisphere clubs competed in the European Cup.
Retired Springbok captain John Smit came off the bench in the 58th minute to make his debut for new club Saracens in a 42-17 mauling of Italian outfit Treviso. The reserve hooker featured alongside fellow Saffas centre Brad Barritt, scrumhalf Neil de Kock, SA-born English prop Matt Stevens, starting hooker Schalk Brits, No 8 Ernst Joubert, Stromers-bound prop Deon Carstens and flanker Justin Melck in the match 22.
Smit and Joubert scored tries in the final quarter to seal the convincing win for the English champions. Former Cheetahs and Stormers flyhalf Willem de Waal added two conversions and a penalty for Treviso.
Lock Johann Muller and No 8 Pedrie Wannenburg were key in Ulster's 16-11 win over flanker Gerhard Vosloo's Clermont. Especially Muller, who made the most tackles in the match (12) and won eight throws in the lineouts.
Front rowers Wian du Preez and BJ Botha packed down in Munster's 23-21 win over prop Brian Mujati's Northampton Saints. It was a major win for the former, who edged ahead three minutes into injury time as flyhalf Ronan O'Gara slotted a late drop goal.
Prop Heinke van der Merwe and hooker Richardt Strauss featured in Leinster's comeback as they drew 16-16 with Montepellier after trailing 13-3 at the break. A last-minute penalty from pivot Jonny Sexton forced the stalemate.
Bok flanker Francois Louw delivered an impressive individual display in Bath's 26-21 defeat to Glasgow. The 26-year-old Louw gained 44m in his five ball carries, made the most turnovers in the match (3) and made 11 tackles, not missing one.
