Students are asked to make comparisons of... (View More) distances. In activity 2, students learn about the vertical profile of the atmosphere. They work with a graph and plot the heights of objects and the layers of the atmosphere: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. In activity 3, students learn about other forms of visual displays using satellite imagery. They compare images of the same weather feature, a hurricane, using two different images from MODIS and CALIPSO. One image is looking down on the hurricane from space, the other looks through the hurricane to display a profile of the hurricane. Activity 4 reinforces the concept of the vertical nature of the atmosphere. Students will take a CALIPSO satellite image that shows a profile of the atmosphere and use this information to plot mountains and clouds on their own graph of the atmosphere. The recommended order for the activities is to complete the first two activities on day one, and the second two activities on day two. Each day will require approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. (View Less)

The Election Commission today sought to downplay allegations levelled by Left parties and Congress over the 'inaction' by its special observer in West Bengal saying there was "nothing objectionable" in his movement, including when he left the state.
Responding to a volley of questions on allegations on the 'inaction' by the special observer, Chief Election Commissioner V S Sampath said here since the officer is on a different footing, he can always leave the state with the permission of the poll body. There had been allegations by opposition parties in West Bengal that the officer concerned -- Sudhir Rakesh-- was not present and available to them on certain polling days in West Bengal when he was approached with complaints of rigging and booth capturing. "The special observer is also an observer. His role is more in the nature of a coordinating person, supervising a large area and he has a higher stature. He always can go out...he is on a different footing. He is not in charge of any particular constituency," Sampath said.
Asked whether EC will take action against Narendra Modi for 'daring' the poll panel to take action against rigging and booth capturing in West Bengal, Sampath said such general remarks about rigging are made in political speeches. But it is usually the candidate concerned who brings to notice specific instances to their (EC) notice by giving details of name and number of the booth concern.
He said if need arises, EC orders a repoll after assessing the actual position.

OPM: Retirement claims tick up but still fewer than projected
Tuesday - 6/5/2012, 6:19pm EDT
Federal retirement claims rose last month but, for the second consecutive month, the Office of Personnel Management received fewer claims than it anticipated, according to new OPM data.
OPM anticipated it would receive 8,000 claims in May, but it actually received 7,523. That's the second time this year the number of actual retirement claims submitted fell short of the the projection.
OPM also made progress in processing claims. The agency processed 9,066 claims in May, nearly 7 percent more than the 8,500 it projected it would. That puts the agency back on track after it failed last month to reach its monthly processing goal.
OPM received more claims in May than in any other month except for January, when it received nearly 21,500. Federal retirements are typically more common at the end of the calendar year, thus OPM usually receives a higher share of claims in January than in other months.
Overall, the backlog of retirement claims — for which OPM has long been criticized — continued to fall in May. The claims inventory, which has decreased every month, stood at 49,473 at the end of the month. That's more than 9 percent below the agency's projections and a level it hadn't expected to reach until July. Since January, OPM has cut the total backlog by 11,635 claims — a 19 percent reduction.
The agency projects it will receive no more than 8,400 claims over the next few months. However, it's processing goals are set to ratchet up to 11,500 by July.
April retirement claims lower than expected, OPM says
Has the long-anticipated retirement tsunami finally started?
OPM retirement backlog falls 14 percent as agency surpasses monthly goals

Health benefits for military kin stalled
Military families have had little at stake in the debate over health care reform this year. Until now, that is.
The health plan for active duty and retired services members, called TRICARE, already included the benefits of the health care overhaul that became law last spring. But there is one major exception: a provision allowing parents to keep adult children on their policy until age 26.
An effort to add that piece to TRICARE benefits failed last week, although it's had bipartisan support in Congress. Senate Republicans blocked a Sept. 21 vote on a $726 billion military spending bill that also would add the under-26 provision to TRICARE.
Republicans blocked the vote because the spending bill included a provision ending the ban on gays serving openly in the military. The Senate isn't expected to revisit the bill until after the Nov. 2 election. The House passed the spending bill, including the TRICARE change, in May.
Retired Navy hospital corpsman Vicente Bantiding said he wants the under-26 benefit for military families, too.
"It should be across the board," said Bantiding, who lives in National City. "It shouldn't matter if you're civilian or military."
TRICARE is the medical benefit the Department of Defense provides active duty and retired service members and their families, and National Guard/Reserve members and their families.
It covers dependents until age 21, or 23 for full-time students. Bantiding said his 24-year-old son, a full-time student at San Diego State University, lost his coverage a year ago.
"He works part-time, and just like many of his friends, does not have health insurance," Bantiding said. "Last winter he got sick, and all I could do was watch him cough and give him Tylenol. He got lucky that time, but what about the next time? That's what I worry about."
The new law requiring health insurance companies to allow parents to keep adult children on their policy until age 26 applies to policies purchased or renewed after Sept. 23. It's one of the most popular elements of the law that became effective last week.
TRICARE has specifically been exempted from health care reform laws.
Last spring, the president signed legislation that essentially assured the continuation of TRICARE by affirming that its benefits meet requirements of the new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
The legislation, authored by Rep. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., and co-signed by 101 Democrats, was aimed at putting to rest Republican concerns that TRICARE might be taken from the Department of Defense and put under another agency.
A separate bill to add the under-26 provision to TRICARE was folded into the defense authorization bill.
Although Republicans have vowed to repeal health care reforms if they win a majority in Congress in the Nov. 2 election, the TRICARE provision was never controversial.
Rep. Susan Davis, D-San Diego, and Rep. Duncan D. Hunter, R-Alpine, both members of the House Armed Services Committee, support the extended coverage.
"I'm for the full repeal of the Obama health care law and replacing it with something better," Hunter said. "But in the sense of TRICARE, military families shouldn't be put at a disadvantage compared to people not in the military. If you're going to have civilians putting their kids on the health care plans until they're 26, then military families should be able to do that, too."

Clinton Renews Call For Internet Freedom
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pledged on Tuesday that the United States would boost support for global Internet freedom, as citizens increasingly turn to social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to organize demonstrations throughout North Africa and the Middle East.
In her second major speech in the past year on the subject of Internet restrictions, Clinton said the recent demonstrations show how technology can promote "political, social, and economic change" or "slow or extinguish that change."
The remarks were in reference to efforts by the governments of Egypt, Syria, Iran and elsewhere to restrict access to the Internet and mobile networks.
Clinton said such actions would cause governments to pay a high economic price and would risk further civil unrest.
Speaking at George Washington University, Clinton cited nations such as Cuba, China, Iran, Myanmar, Syria and Vietnam as countries that restrict Internet access, impose censorship or arrest Internet bloggers who are critical of their governments.
The U.S. will continue to assist people in "oppressive Internet environments," with censorship aversion technology, she said.
However, "there is no silver bullet in the struggle against Internet repression."
"There's no 'app' for that," she said.
The U.S. supports the "freedoms of expression, assembly, and association online," Clinton said while calling on other nations to do the same.
"This is a critical moment," she said.
"The choices we make today will determine what the Internet looks like in the future."
The Internet is "the public space of the 21st century — the world's town square, classroom, marketplace, coffee house, and nightclub," she said, adding that protests in Egypt and Iran facilitated by Facebook, Twitter and YouTube indicated "the power of connection technologies as an accelerant of political, social, and economic change."
"Consider what happened in Tunisia, where online economic activity was an important part of the country's ties with Europe, while online censorship was on par with China and Iran," she said.
"The effort to divide the economic Internet from the 'everything else' Internet in Tunisia could not be sustained. People, especially young people, found ways to use connection technologies to organize and share grievances."
"This helped fuel a movement that led to revolutionary change."
"Those who clamp down on Internet freedom may be able to hold back the full expression of their people's yearnings for a while, but not forever," she said.
Efforts to restrict Internet access carry "a variety of costs — moral, political, and economic."
"Countries may be able to absorb these costs for a time, but we believe they're unsustainable in the long run," she said.
"When countries curtail Internet freedom, they place limits on their economic future."
China, she said, has been cited as a place where "where Internet censorship is high and economic growth is strong."
However, these restrictions "will have long-term costs that threaten one day to become a noose that restrains growth and development."
"We believe that governments who have erected barriers to Internet freedom… will eventually find themselves boxed in," she said.
"They'll face a dictator's dilemma, and have to choose between letting the walls fall or paying the price to keep them standing."
During the speech, Clinton also announced plans to launch Twitter feeds in Chinese, Russian and Hindi, days after unveiling Twitter feeds in Arabic and Farsi.
Clinton also addressed the subject of Wikileaks, the whistleblower Web site that leaked thousands of classified U.S. military and diplomatic documents.
Calling the leaks an act of theft, Clinton said U.S. criticism of the website's actions did not contradict Washington's pledge to an open Internet.
"Fundamentally, the Wikileaks incident began with an act of theft," she said.
"Government documents were stolen, just the same as if they had been smuggled out in a briefcase."
Governments require confidentiality to effectively deal with sensitive issues, she added.
"Our diplomats closely collaborate with activists, journalists, and citizens to challenge the misdeeds of oppressive governments."
"It's dangerous work. By publishing the diplomatic cables, Wikileaks exposed people to even greater risk."
Clinton insisted that the U.S. government played no role in the decision by U.S. companies such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal and Amazon to shutdown services to Wikileaks.
"Any business decisions that private companies may have taken to enforce their own policies regarding Wikileaks was not at the direction or the suggestion of the Obama administration," she said.
"There were reports in the days following the leak that the U.S. government intervened to coerce private companies to deny service to Wikileaks."
"This is not the case," she said.
"Some politicians and pundits publicly called for companies to dissociate from Wikileaks, while others criticized them for doing so," she added.
"Public officials are part of our country's public debates, but there is a line between expressing views and coercing conduct," Mrs. Clinton said, adding that Internet freedom was not at the center of the Wikileaks case.
"Wikileaks does not challenge our commitment to Internet freedom," she said.
Clinton's speech coincided with a hearing in a U.S. court in Virginia today over the government's attempt to obtain information about the Twitter accounts of people associated with Wikileaks.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange called the move an "outrageous attack by the Obama administration on the privacy and free speech rights of Twitter's customers — many of them American citizens."

Deal with prosecutors spares Gardner death
Sex offender admits to killing teens Chelsea King and Amber Dubois
Later, Dumanis described California's death penalty as "a hollow promise" that, if imposed, would cause the King family to endure a trial, years of appeals and "the pain of reliving the murder over and over again."
Dumanis said the Kings realized that also would leave Amber's case without legal closure.
"As a result of the plea, we will not be seeking the death penalty," she said. "But we do know that a sentence of life without parole means this defendant will die in prison."
Dumanis thanked the investigators, including the Sheriff's Department, the FBI and the search-and-rescue teams that worked to resolve the case. In particular, she noted Sheriff Bill Gore and Escondido Police Chief Jim Maher, both of whom attended the hearing.
She also thanked the thousands of volunteers from the community who helped search for the missing girls.
Two men, wearing T-shirts promoting Chelsea's Light Foundation, said they participated in the five-day search for Chelsea after she went for a jog and never came home. They said any deal that spared Gardner's life was unacceptable.
"I personally feel that he needs to go through the same pain that Chelsea and Amber went through," said Chad Goodman, an East County resident who works for the city of San Diego.
Gardner's lawyers, Michael Popkins and Mel Epley of the Public Defender's Office, declined to comment outside the courtroom.
Defense attorney Michael L. Crowley, who is not connected to the case, said in a telephone interview that the plea agreement was a coup for Gardner's lawyers.
"From the defense perspective, anytime we save a life, that's a victory," Crowley said, adding that Gardner's lawyers had boldly handled the high-profile, emotionally charged case.
Crowley, a past president of the San Diego Criminal Defense Bar Association, commended Dumanis for her practice of involving the defense in discussions about capital cases before deciding whether to pursue the death penalty.
"I have not agreed in many instances with Ms. Dumanis' decisions in death-penalty cases, but she does have a process that I respect," he said.
Dumanis is seeking her third term as district attorney in June. She is running unopposed.
With the support of the King family, state Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, R-San Diego, is pushing a proposal for "Chelsea's Law," which could increase potential penalties for convicted sex offenders. It would require lifetime parole with GPS monitoring for violent sex offenses against children, and parolees would be barred from entering parks without prior permission from authorities.
The Kings, who have a 13-year-old son, Tyler, have dedicated themselves to seeing the law enacted.
"Now, unencumbered from a protracted trial, we can fully devote ourselves to raising our son and bringing about changes that protect our children," Brent King said.

Alternative spots to watch Boston fireworks
Matthew J. Lee/Globe Staff
Boston's fireworks by the Charles River is one of the greatest display of pyrotechnics bringing locals together to celebrate Independence Day. But spectators have to deal with crowds, limited space for watching, and long lines back home.
We consulted with locals and checked out websites that discussed alternative spots.
You may not be front and center at the Esplanade to watch the Boston Pops at the Hatch Shell, but all you really need is a boom box and a good perch.
Here's a list of places with some great views of the fireworks that you probably did not know about or wish we had not revealed.

Iraq's al-Sadr visits church, site of 2010 attack
BAGHDAD Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr reached out to Iraq's religious minorities Friday, visiting a Baghdad church desecrated in a deadly 2010 attack and a prominent Sunni mosque as public opposition spread against his rival, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
The anti-U.S. cleric's stops at the holy sites - a rare public appearance outside predominantly Shiite parts of Iraq - came as tens of thousands of primarily Sunni protesters angry over perceived second-class treatment rallied to maintain pressure against al-Maliki's Shiite-led government.
Friday's demonstrations reached well beyond the desert province of Anbar that has been the hub of two weeks of unrest, touching a string of Sunni-dominated communities in Iraq's north and west. Cries of "Down, down with al-Maliki" echoed in the streets of the northern city of Mosul, while protesters in the capital Baghdad accused the prime minister of being a liar.
The government has tried to appease the demonstrators by agreeing this week to release some detainees, bowing at least in part to one of their more emotionally charged demands. But that gesture has done little to stem their rage.
In a statement Friday, the prime minister urged government security forces to show restraint toward protesters. He also called on demonstrators to avoid acts of civil disobedience and warned them that "foreign agendas" seek to push Iraq toward sectarian conflict again.
Al-Sadr to be trying to capitalize on the political turmoil by attempting to portray himself as a unifying figure ahead of provincial elections in the spring. He spoke up for the Sunni protesters' right to demonstrate earlier this week, and echoed that sentiment again Friday.
"We support the demands of the people, but I urge them to safeguard Iraq's unity," he said.
Wearing his signature black cloak and turban, the cleric said he visited the Our Lady of Salvation church to express sorrow at the attack and send a message of peace to Iraq's dwindling Christian community, which is estimated to number about 400,000 to 600,000.
He sat quietly in the front pew, listening and nodding as Father Ayssar al-Yas described recent renovations to the church. The priest then led al-Sadr on a tour, pointing out places where attackers killed more than 50 people, including priests and worshippers, in an ambush during a 2010 Mass.
Al-Maliki himself attended a ceremony to officially reopen the church last month.
Al-Sadr's visit took place at a time of rising sectarian tensions a year after the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. Al-Sadr grudgingly backed fellow Shiite al-Maliki following elections in 2010. But last year he joined Iraq's minority Sunni Arabs and Kurds in calling for al-Maliki to resign.
Al-Sadr rose to prominence as the leader of a militia movement that battled American forces following the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, and he has made overtures to Sunnis and others in the past. But fighters loyal to him were among the worst perpetrators of sectarian violence last decade, and he is still viewed with suspicion, if not hostility, by many Iraqis.
After visiting the church, al-Sadr's heavily protected convoy made its way to the Abdul-Qadir al-Gailani mosque, one of Baghdad's most prominent Sunni places of worship, shortly before midday Friday prayers.

Sandoval, Zito, Giants smite Tigers

SAN FRANCISCO Unaccustomed as he is to receiving such visits to the mound — especially in only the third inning of Game 1 of the World Series — Justin Verlander smiled an unamused smile at the approach of Detroit Tigers pitching coach Jeff Jones.
Generally considered the universe's best pitcher, Verlander asked Jones, "What are you doing here?"
One pitch later, the pertinent question was, what was Pablo Sandoval doing here to Justin Verlander and the Tigers?
Above all, the Giants slugger was hitting home runs, plural. Mere seconds after Jones' brief talk with Verlander, in fact, Sandoval hit the second of his three home runs in as many at-bats in San Francisco's 8-3 romp over the favored American League champions.
"I still can't believe it," Sandoval said. "I just tried to put the barrel on the ball. I don't try to hit one, don't try to hit two, don't try to hit three."
Sandoval's two-run, opposite-field launch in the third off Verlander followed a loud solo shot over straightaway center to give San Francisco a 1-0 lead in the first. And for good measure — even greater measure of distance, actually — Sandoval put a fifth-inning pitch from reliever Al Alburquerque in roughly the same place as his first homer against Verlander.
It was the fifth time in World Series history that a player hit three homers in a game, the so-called "Kung Fu Panda" joining Babe Ruth (1926 and '28), Reggie Jackson ('77) and Albert Pujols (last year).
"When he hit the third one, we went nuts in the dugout," said winning pitcher Barry Zito. "We didn't even know if it'd ever been done before."
Perhaps even more discombobulating to Detroit than a four-inning, 98-pitch stint by Verlander was the fact its own power-packed lineup got absolutely dominated by the soft-tossing Zito. At times, Zito was more like one of those slow-pitch softball lobbers, not throwing the ball as much as looping it in with a wicked amount of spin.
"Going against Verlander, I thought if we were going to win, it'd be 1-0 or 2-0," Zito said. "To go up early, to draw first blood, was just awesome."
"Magical" and "surreal" were two more words Zito threw around after the product of both Grossmont High and University of San Diego High blanked the Tigers until a sixth-inning RBI single by Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera. Throughout, the raucous crowd at AT&T Park was chanting "Barry! Barry! Barry!" breaking out the old hail they'd rain down on that Bonds fellow.
Only the Giants could replace a former Cy Young Award honoree with another, two-time winner Tim Lincecum, who got the Giants out of the sixth without any more damage and proceeded to strike out five over a perfect 2 1/3. A two-run homer by Jhonny Peralta in the ninth made the score only seem closer.

Novel Diabetes Drug Discovery Has Potential to Reverse Disease
CureDM has produced, stabilized and characterized this unique peptide in a variety of preclinical studies. In these studies, researchers have demonstrated that HIP stimulates insulin secretion in human pancreatic ductal tissue devoid of islets. HIP was also shown to stimulate new islet formation with a 3-fold increase in islet numbers in validated diabetic animal models compared to placebo, effectively reversing the disease in such animals. "Having demonstrated the preclinical proof of concept of this promising and novel therapeutic approach, we look forward to obtain regulatory approval and initiation of clinical testing of HIP in 2009," said H. Joseph Reiser Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of CureDM.
The incidence of diabetes continues to grow at a double-digit rate worldwide with nearly 300 million patients estimated by 2030. At the time of diagnosis, islet mass is often reduced by 80% in type 1 patients and 50% in type 2 patients, supporting the importance of islet restoration as a therapeutic approach. Pancreatic islets contain four primary cell types and are responsible for producing insulin, amylin, glucagon and other hormones critical to maintaining normal glucose regulation. Current diabetes therapies, including insulin, help to control the disease but do not restore new islets. HIP addresses the underlying mechanism of the pathology of diabetes and represents a potentially curative approach to both, type 1 and 2 diabetes. If successful in human clinical trials, HIP-induced restoration of islet function has the potential to become a first-line treatment approach for diabetes and pre- diabetes.
About HIP
Human proIslet Peptide (HIP) is a 14-amino acid, stabilized human peptide that stimulates the signal pathways that induce new islet formation in the pancreas, without the use of stem cells. HIP creates new insulin-producing beta cells by generating new islets that contain alpha, beta, gamma and delta cells, all of which are necessary to regulate glucose metabolism. The core patent for the HIP technology was issued in
About CureDM
CureDM is a Biotherapeutics company focusing on Diseases of Metabolism. CureDM has developed a proprietary platform technology using genomics and proteomics to identify bioactive components of gene products that are fundamental to address unmet medical needs. HIP is the first product derived from this process with other pipeline compounds under development.

I was recently asked to arrange plants vs. zombies party for my seven year old nephew. His parents have been pretty busy at work and did not want him to miss out on a party.I had to search for kids party ideas on the internet in order to get the latest birthday themes for kids. Knowing how much my nephew loved playing zombie games, plants vs. zombies party was the best party to arrange. I planned to invite all his friends over for the party so I asked them for help since they were more conversant with the concept of zombie games. We set out to work on the preparations in order to get all the materials and items required for the party.
Birthday invitations
The invitations were pretty sleek. I went for green cards which were printed out with pictures of zombies with bloodshot eyes bulging out. I also included decorations of sunflower heads on the side and used some red food coloring to bring out the illusion of blood. I then printed out the words 'Fancy some brain?' on the front side of the cards and also included the party details at the back of the cards.
For the decorations, I went for posters of zombies chasing after people and hang them around the house. I also changed the lighting bulbs in the house so as to set the mood for the party. I also incorporated some pea-shooter plants in the yard and placed several zombie figurines at different locations in the house and backyard. The table cloths had green and white colors and I also placed some 'tombstones' and 'caskets' out in the yard. I used carton paper to construct the caskets and tombstones.
Food and Drinks
For the food, I went with burgers and plenty of fruit. There were watermelons, avocado and grapes. The cake was decorated with green coloring and had the icing in form of a zombie. The drinks were made with milk so as to resemble brains and I also included some avocado smoothies to go around. I also made some lime and raspberry juice.
Activities and Games
I thought long and hard about the games that would be played by the kids and finally decided on the pea-shooter game. The kids were supposed to use some balls which they would throw into planters that had been placed at a distance. The kids also enjoyed playing the zombie tag game whereby one kid started out as the zombie and tried to turn the other kids as well. When one was 'turned', they had to turn the others until one kid was left unturned and thereby won the game.
Party Favors
For the party favors, I used some boxes that resembled some caskets where I packed candy and cupcakes for the guests. The candy was shaped as zombie eyes whereas the cupcakes resembled planters. The guests had a lot of fun and my nephew was very satisfied with the party.

I noticed that all of a sudden the way scrolling in Modern UI works has changed.
I would use a two finger swipe (top to bottom) to move through the Modern UI, regardless if the content is actually scrolling horizontally (ie. left to right like the App List), or if the content is actually scrolling top to bottom as well (like the chats in Skype).
A few days ago I noticed this changed. Now I have to actually do a left to right two-finger swipe to move through the Modern UI content, regardless if it's actually laid out that way (the App List requires this behavior, which sort of makes sense, but it's super annoying in Skype because it feel more natural to swipe from top to bottom there).
I installed the latest Elantech drivers when recently reinstalling the OS (Windows 8.1), but I can't seem to find the multi touch settings tool. And I'm certain it behaved differently in the beginning (top to bottom swipe to scroll both horizontally and vertically) and that this is a recent change.

Smoking may rob kids of anti-oxidants
Children exposed to cigarette smoke have lower levels of anti-oxidants, which help the body defend against biological stresses, U.S. researchers said.
Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York looked at the levels of anti-oxidants vs. the amount of smoke exposure in more than 2,000 children and teens ages 6 and 18 in the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
The study, presented at the Pediatric Academic Society Meeting in Baltimore, showed that secondhand smoke exposure is associated with lower levels of anti-oxidants in children.
We don't know enough yet to say that this group of children need supplements to make up for the anti-oxidants they're losing, but it's always wise to feed children an abundance of fruits and vegetables high in anti-oxidants and other healthy nutrients, Dr. Karen Wilson said in a statement.
Anti-oxidants are believed to play an important role in protecting the body's cells against free radicals, which can damage cells, Wilson said.
The higher the level of cotinine — a byproduct of metabolizing tobacco smoke — in a child's blood, the lower the anti-oxidant level, after controlling for diet and supplements, the researchers said.

I actually really liked this product. I have both the studio fix foundation and pro long wear and I felt this was the most "skin comforting". It blended beautifully and it didn't make me feel like I was wearing a tonne of makeup. Furthermore, it is easier to go a shade up as it matches to your skin colour nonetheless (provided you don't go outrageously over the top with the selection of the colour).
I am really picky with foundations and once I know that I can feel it on my face, I am immediately put off. This did not happen here so all in all - it's a win. The price isn't very appealing but hey - the bottle lasts quite a while!

Love it,my skin has many acne scars & it covers greatly
It lasts just long enough for me .4-5 hours and that's without powder as I have rather dry skin.I do heed a little moisturizer at first use 'till skin got used to it as product itself is only a little moisturising ,it is oil free which is good .It disguises active blemishes a little.Pump breaks easily but pump replacements are cheap to get
Long lasting
Good coverage
Decent price
Doesn't cover tattoos/skin conditions
Can be quite drying

Got this foundation in hope that it would be a more natural looking foundation for work but it really made my skin look worse . It made my skin look dry and orange and oxidized and got even more orange after a couple of hours . Maybe this is suited for more oily skin . Won't be repurchasing .

I got the shade 4.0.
I love the packaging. I love how it has a built in pump and it just has a sleek look to it. It's great that it also has SPF. I love it!
I got this from Macys for $34 I believe? Typical price for a MAC Foundation. I like how it has more product than the SFF AND it comes with a pump, so you get your money's worth.
-Covers a variety of color ranges
-Very light; it doesn't feel like you're wearing foundation. Also has a Demi-matte finish.
-The coverage is buildable.
-Comes with a pump
-Has SPF
-Doesn't match ALL shades
-Can become cakey
Texture: Not to creamy but also not too liquidy.
Smell: Your average foundation smell.
I wanted to love this product. I really did. I love the consistency and finish. It was a perfect lightweight foundation! However, when I took a flash photo it gave me that white cast over my face. At first I thought it was the SPF, but I realized that the color ended up being tooooo light! I'm an NC35 and the 4.0 was still too light for me? Weird. When I talked to the MAC Specialist, they said that 5.0 would be too dark. But 4.0 is too light... Maybe it just wasn't meant to be? I love the idea of a foundation matching a variety of skin tones, especially because it's a nice mix of the NC and NW. They have a ton of shades in their collection, but they just don't fit me. Wahhhh! Sad life.

I was always in search of a good foundation that suited my skin .one or the other way most of them doesn't suit my skin .but this match master foundation is perfect and it doesn't give a cakey feeling or a filmy layered feeling for me ! Just love this product !

This is the foundation I currently use.
I am Greek with fair-light yellowish skin and I use everything NC20 in foundations and concealers.
I apply the Matchmaster foundation with a sponge and it gives me an even, matte finish.
The matte finish does not really last long so I make sure i set it with a mattifying powder but I really like the result.
- Bottle has a pump which is really sanitary.
- Matte finish.
- Easy to apply
- I don't like how the liquid looks orange-y. It tends to oxidize a bit too.
- Expensive.
- Although the pump 'locks' if you switch it to the left, it can unlock easily and make a mess if carried in a purse or bag. Also, the glass bottle is not very convenient.
Overall, i like it but when it is finished I don't think I would purchase it again mostly due to the stiff price.

I like this foundation, but not as much as Studio Sculpt, although MatchMaster is more natural-looking and sheer compared to Studio Sculpt. In Studio Sculpt I currently wear an NC20 (or a C2 in MAC's F&B/MNSF in Medium, for reference in other brands: Missha Perfect Cover in #21, tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hr Foundation in Light-Medium Sand, Revlon ColorStay in #180 Sand Beige, GA Luminous Silk in 4.5, NARS The Radiant Cream foundation in Fiji, Revlon Nearly Naked in #130 Shell and DiorSkin Forever Flawless Compact in #21 Linen) and in the MatchMaster foundation I wear 2.0 - which matches my yellow undertones well. I also bought 1.5 which is just a touch too light but works fine for winter time.
The coverage is in the medium range, but it does allow some of your skin to show through, and I often sheer this out with lotion or by itself to a light coverage. It can also be easily built up to cover most imperfections. The finish is a beautiful soft, natural matte. I don't usually use powder on top of this, but will wear primer underneath to keep t-zone shine at bay. The texture is easy to work with too - very silky, easy to spread or buff into skin. I normally use a buffing brush to apply this, fingers or a sponge and it looks good regardless of what I use to apply it - although I think the warmth from hands makes it look more natural and sheer. I also use it around my eyes without any irritation or problems. No breakouts or clogged pores on rest of skin. It lasts all day (at least 8+ hours) with no separating, or patchiness. I do still have to touch up/blot with powder after about 5 hours due to shine on my nose or forehead in the summer - but I have to do that regardless of what product I use. It does however, maintain a matte finish longer than most other foundation I use. In photographs, there was no flashback and my skin looked perfect (although I'm not sure how this would work for darker skin tones).
The only thing that bothers me a bit is the weird scent - a bit like paint, but it's not strong. Reminds me of Revlon's ColorStay and honestly I'd rather smell the ingredients than some strong, migraine-inducing fragrance. I would recommend this to those with oily or combination skin looking for light to medium natural looking coverage. This formula may be a bit to drying/too matte for those with drier skin types.

I love this foundation. I'm very pale, with sort of weird reddish undertones, and it's the first thing I found that matches my skin tone perfectly (I use the 1.0). It also looks really good on my skin- it doesn't even look like I have a medium-to-full coverage foundation on. One $35 bottle will last me a year, so it's good price-wise too. I have very troublesome skin (acne-prone, super sensitive, lots of red) and this erases all of that. It also builds and blends really well. I don't really notice a chemical smell, and it looks fantastic.

I was just colour matched at the MAC Counter. I was matched 1.0 (which was too yellow for me). This stuff smells like chemicals- and not in a good way. The smell was still bothering me an hour later.
I went to the counter asking for help as I have a hard time colour matching (i'm very fair). I have combo skin and this was the makeup which was recommended too me.
As far as coverage, it has a medium to full coverage. Demi-matt finish, which was nice. The girl at MAC put it on me without a primer and it sunk into every line and pore on my face. So it'd probably be a lot better with a primer.
This stuff felt caked on- but didn't look it. It felt rather drying around my nose as well.
In all honesty the first thing I did when I got home was wash it off. I wear glasses and the amount that had rubbed off where my glasses sit was fairly disappointing as well. If I was to continue wearing, I would have already had to touch up under my glasses after an hour and a half.
Definitely not for me at all!
