Today was the first day of school for me at CWU - exactly 2 weeks from the day I actually applied. Talk about crazy fast! I think it's better this way - just jumping right in rather than stewing about school and getting myself all worked up and anxious all spring and summer long if I had stuck with my plan of starting fall semester.
I signed up for two classes, (a 300 level and a 400 level class) which are 6 credits total. Both are for the Elementary Education endorsement I'll be working one - one about Health Education curriculum for students and the other is about Physical Education activities for children (yes, PE!).
It's exciting to me to be back in school because I love learning and feel up for the challenge of working towards this endorsement. But can I just say that I also was very nervous this morning?! Going back to college 20 years after when I first was a freshman at BYU made me feel so old. I knew that some of my classmates would literally be young enough to be my kids. Now if that doesn't make a girl feel old, I don't know what else would!
So I dressed in very comfy clothes - my favorite jeans, a new top I sewed to help hide those extra cookies sticking to my middle these days, warm boots and a sweater.
Troy gave me a blessing this morning just like he does with the kids on their first days of school. I then said my own prayer, took a deep breath and hit the road.
And you know what? The day went great! I found parking, picked up my books, got a student id card, then got a parking permit for better parking in the future, and found my classes. Phew!
In one of my classes I am pretty sure that I am the oldest person in the class. And most of the students seemed to know each other (as happens when students move through a program together for a couple of years) but the girls I talked to were still really nice and friendly. In my second class, I definitely was not the oldest student, for which I felt very grateful. One woman even brought her 7 year old daughter to class and the professor didn't mind at all. And in this second class (Health), the professor had us interact in a couple of ice breakers and it was a great time getting to know other students and getting enthusiastic about the class.
*A few interesting and amusing things I noted that were different from my time at BYU:
1. I felt a little overdressed. The just-rolled-out-of-bed look seemed very popular on campus. Now that I know that, I'm all for sweatshirts and ball cap days!
2. Tattoos and pierces are also very popular with college students at CWU. Like, a LOT of tattoos. Now that's something I definitely did not see at BYU.
3. Came across quite a few smokers on campus. Smoking wasn't allowed at BYU obviously, but these days I just don't really see smokers even around my town very much. Why are college kids smoking? Why oh why?!! Are kids seeking a college education not reading those pesky articles about cancer and all that stuff?
4. And one of my favorite things - you can now rent textbooks. Yes, RENT! I purchased a used textbook (used was $114 versus $189 for new) and fortunately, a girl I was chatting with in class mentioned that I could rent textbooks. Back to the bookstore I went, returned the book and rented the exact same textbook that I just returned for only $24 for the term. Is that not great or what?!
That was my day in a nutshell. I'm now a CWU Wildcat!
Thank You for Loving Me

press release
KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison, Mr Willies Mchunu calls for calm and restraint following the fatal shooting of two taxi operators in Warwick Avenue, Durban. Reports reveal that today (20 February 2013) at about 9h30, a shootout erupted and left two people dead and three sustained serious injuries.
It is alleged that this shootout may have ensued over a taxi route between Durban to the Eastern Cape. The two associations, the Eastern Cape based association Border Taxi Association and Ncedo are believed to have long history of dispute over this taxi route.
The shooting happened at an illegally occupied taxi rank and Mchunu has directed the Ethekwini municipality to shut down that ranking space.
Previously the Municipality had issued and subsequently withdrew the authority to operate in that rank. The last operation was on 22 December 2012. Despite the withdrawal, these association came this morning and started operating illegally.
Mchunu commended the police for swift reaction as they managed to apprehend two suspects immediately after the incident occurred. Two cases of murder and two of attempted murder were opened. The suspects are expected to appear in court soon. Mchunu described this incident as an unfortunate and unacceptable.
"It is unacceptable that people can attack and kill others on a broad daylight, endangering the lives of commuters. We condemn violence, especially disruption in the CBD have a potential of negatively affecting other transport operations.
We are in contact with the Eastern Cape Department of Transport in trying to resolve this matter. Police have also assured us that the Taxi Violence Task Team is now in charge of monitoring the situation and we hope the situation will normalise.
Prompt response by the police has resulted in the arrest of two suspects. I have also directed the Department in KwaZulu-Natal to facilitate an urgent meeting with the affected associations while engaging the Eastern Cape government. I would like to send my condolences to the families of the deceased and wish a speedy recovery to those who were hospitalised," said Mchunu.

TiPb Asks: How are you handling iCloud in your family?
iCloud is Apple's new, free don't-call-it-sync service that stores your stuff up on Apple's gigantic servers and pushes it down to all your devices. And it works great... but it can be a challenge if you have a family. Now apple has never been great about handling the whole family thing to begin with. Their digital hub has always been fantastic for a single person but started to break down when you wanted to manage a family, especially with multiple accounts. iCloud is no exception.
So what are you doing about it? Are you settling for one iCloud account that just shares everything for every family member, from spouse to child and back again? Are you keeping separate accounts for you and your significant other, but sharing one with your child? Did you use your iTunes account for iCloud, did you transition a MobileMe account, or did you create a new one?
Find my iPhone certainly works better when shared, and it's cheaper to buy apps on one account than buy them more than once on several accounts, but things like Photo Stream end up being like crossing-the-streams -- an explosion of stuff on everyone's devices that no one particularly wants.
So how are you handling iCloud in your family? Any tips on keeping things economical and productive but still contained and manageable?

TiPb Asks: How are you handling iCloud in your family?
Only using it to sync apps so we don't have to pay more than once.
Nope first thing I did on accident is delete some of my wife's contacts on my iphone lol least to say she was not happy.
I was worried about this, but actually found Apple to have done a good job this time!
You can use multiple iCloud accounts on each device to set up sharing the way you want (on OSX as well).
I set up all of my families devices so that the "store" ID is my original Apple ID (i.e. we all share purchases).
Each family member has their own iCloud account. I was using MobileMe to sync, but I never bothered "transferring". I didn't use the email address, and all of the "synching" features just sucked up the data from my computer to the cloud.
To set things up, each device owned by a family member is set up with the main iCloud account being the one owned by that person.
I wanted to keep calendars and contacts shared between myself and my wife, so what I did was to turn off calendar and contract sharing for my wife's devices for her iCloud account. I then added my iCloud account to her devices and turned on only calendar / contract sharing for my iCloud account.
I did the same with "Find My Phone". All of my family's devices have my iCloud account added to it, and "Find My Phone" is always associated with my iCloud account.
Everything is sharing perfectly, and I can customize almost everything the way I like.
I have only found two "gotchas" so far.
One is with "reminders". On iOS devices, you can share calendars and reminders separately. On OSX, they are linked together. Ideally, I would like my wife to have her own "reminders", but for us to share calendars. Unfortunately, that won't work. The workaround is to have separate reminder lists for each of us.
The other issue is with the two things that MUST be associated with the main iCloud account: documents / data and Photo Stream.
I would like to have some iCloud apps share data between my wife's devices and my own, and I don't think that is possible. It would also be nice if the photos my wife takes and that I take could be seen on our respective devices, but I also see no way of doing that at the moment.
Other than that, I am extremely happy with iCloud so far, and look forward to more Apps moving their data onto the cloud!!!
Thanks for this information, Ronald. I have been trying to get my head round secondary accounts but there are broken links to non-existent Apple Support Knowledge Base articles which have got in the way of my understanding.
My wife and I currently share a single "family" MobileMe account for Mail, Calendar (with separate calendars for each of us in the same account, similar to your situation but subtly different) and Address Book, and have separate Apple IDs for purchases. We each have separate email accounts as well so the joint me.com one is for messages intended for both of us. I haven't made the transition to iCloud yet because of fear of messing everything up, because my wife has an iPod Touch 2 and a MacBook Core Duo, neither of which can be upgraded to Lion.
MobileMe support does not want to know about accessing iCloud on iOS4.2.1 or Snow Leopard. Their chat agents fall back on the iCloud system requirements when pressed, but it is becoming increasingly clear that, with a bit of work, both of my wife's devices will be able to access Mail, Calendar and Contacts in iCloud. She won't be able to use Reminders on the iPod Touch but she doesn't use the Todo feature anyway.
I may decide not to convert our family MobileMe account to iCloud but to set each of us up with a new iCloud me.com account, which I now see would allow us to continue to use MobileMe in case things come unstuck. The chat agent told me that, once the account is transferred, you can't go back, though I don't quite understand that as Apple says that iDisk and Gallery will continue to work until June 2012.
We don't need to share documents between us on iCloud but I want it so that I can share my own documents among my Macs and iDevices (though the process is still less than ideal for iWork apps).
I'm not committing myself yet but the time is coming closer.
Why couldn't Apple have anticipated the need for family-based access to iCloud and set it up so that it was simple and easy to implement? There must be countless people out there with similar (but varying) needs.
My wife and I share some items on iCloud, but not others. Specifically she has no interest in my contacts.
I used our iTunes account to set up the main iCloud account, then set sharing for Photo Stream and Find My iPhone, but nothing else. I then created a new iCloud account on her phone, using this to sync her contacts.
Her phone now has two iCloud accounts on it, so she can choose which items to sync with which account. It is important to know that each device recognized one account as the "Main" account.
I made this mistake when setting up her iCloud account on her MacBook Air, I added her account first, which is now preventing me from using either of our phones to find her Mac or to have a shared Photo Stream on her Mac. Currently, I cannot delete the secondary account on her Mac to make it the primary.
Great info can be found here: http://t.co/qhJk6pH1
I set up a separate iCloud account for my wife and two kids for use with mail, contacts, photostream, etc., then have a separate ID that we all share for iTunes. That way all of our personal information is separate, but we can still all share any purchases made in iTunes. No problems with it yet.
I immediately turned it off on all my devices when I realized you can't delete photos off of iCloud. If I take pictures I don't want on iCloud, I should be able to delete them off iCloud. If Apple never allows this then I'll never use Photostream.
While I agree with you premise, some photos I would "prefer" not to have there are not embarrassing or inappropriate, some are just useless to others. For example, if I take a picture of a pair of shoes I like, but delete it off my iPhone, that needs to stay on Photo Stream for ever? And currently the only way to get rid of it is to blank out all other photos? Sounds like using a sledgehammer to solve a tweezer's job.
"it works great…"
I like the trail off. I hope you were trying to be sarcastic there because the sarcasm would definitely fit with the experience I've had trying to deal with making iCloud work "great". On top of that we only have one device doing the "iSync" thing right now, the next one gets upgraded to iOS5 this weekend...
I'm having a hard time with iCloud. The first sync with my iPhone brought back EVERY app I have ever downloaded, which filled my phone to the brim and all apps that could not be downloaded were added to my Upgrade tab on the App store.
Moreover, I disagree that Apple did a good job. iCloud is not intuitive at all, has too little free space for a company that sells expensive hardware, by default backs up a ton of useless data from Apps, all in all requires too much fiddling to work as it should.
I have used far better sync/upgrade systems from other vendors, ones that really "simply work". Not so with iCloud.
I have set up 3 Apple IDs. One that was my old iTunes purchase ID that is now the family account. I use it for purchases, iCloud backups, Documents, Photostream, and find my iPhone.
Then I have two personal accounts for my wife and myself that sync our own contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks, Facetime, Find My Friends, and iMessage. It's working great thus far with no issues. My main complaint is that I would love the have documents on the personal account as opposed to the main account.
Yes, you can delete your wife's iCloud account. On her phone, you go to iCloud settings and scroll all the way to the bottom and tap the delete button. As a caveat, I believe that it will erase what was synced with that account.
I felt compelled to respond to your question because I spent DAYS trying to figure out how to delete an iCloud ID (to separate it from my Apple ID for iTunes) and I was exceedingly grateful when someone helped me with the answer.
Hope things work out well for your family.
We share 1 itunes store account for purchases and a subset of icloud services. My wife and I share the same contacts, calendars, FindMyiPhone, and PhotoStream. Only I use the main account for e-mail, facetime, gamecenter, iMessage. My wife has her own AppleID for iMessage, facetime, GameCenter.
We are unusual in that my wife and I like sharing basic PIM tools like calendare, contacts and even photo stream.
My daughter has her own appleID which she uses for iMessage, FaceTime, everything else and she uses our main account for purchases.
We did a similar setup. Wife, kids and I have seperate icloud accounts but share purchases on itunes. Another advantage to this is having 5gb of space for each of us on icloud instead of all of us sharing and using a lot of it up. Using the same account on iCould... I got the impression that each phone backs up seperately even if iCloud is shared. When I first set it up my wifes info backed up to iCloud using my user ID on iCloud..... and when I redid my iphone... her contacts did not show up on my phone... which leads me to believe that each phone is stored seperately on the cloud, or somehow it didn't take and we got lucky. But as of today... we have seperate accounts so we each can have the backup space needed.
I think seperate accounts for each family member is the way to go and then just share 1 itunes account. But I agree.... for APPLE to focus so much on SIMPLICITY for users.... this was someting that I think Apple over looked and did not make it easy for customers to understand or figure out what the best way to setup their accounts would be. Everyone had to trouble shoot or test different ways to find what fits their needs.
Luckily quite a few of us have a pretty good idea on this matter, but those new to iphone or with little knowledge on how apple IDs work... I think could be a challenge.
Just my thought.
it would be great if the TiPB team could put together a write up of the options. maybe I am tired or maybe I am just an idiot, but I cannot wrap my head around this. Just want to know the best way to share apps and music between my wife's device and mine. Maybe a shared calendar?
iCloud is a bittersweet experience. On one side, the backups, reminders and document storage is great. On the other, it keeps duplicating my contacts and has created literally 10s of duplicated bookmark folders which, of course, can't be deleted. Only the Photostream and Backup functions of the service can be fully deleted to allow people to start from scratch. I chose to use my iTunes account (my gmail address) because I once had a MobileMe account that I canceled. But inactive accounts can no longer be revived and I would have to create a new account name - which I don't want to do. I wish Apple would get their user account lifecycle straightened out and allow people to merge them. Of course people are going to want all of the data and purchases associated with their iTunes account to be linked with their iCloud/MobileMe accounts too... Sigh... It looks so good in the ads, just not so good when actually used day-to-day.
I need iCloud for Dummies, I turned it on and within two minutes it told me I was full and didn't have enough space on the cloud. So I turned it off and haven't messed with it.
Here is my setup: I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad 2, and my wife has her own iPhone 4s and an iPad 2. My 8-year old daughter uses my wife's iDevices to play games.
I have it set up like many of those above: I use my original iTunes AppleID for store purchases on all devices, so we don't need to re-pay when one of us likes an app the other purchsed. However, I setup my iPhone 4s and my iPad 2 with my own new iCloud id, and I set up my wife's iPhone 4s and iPad 2 with her own new iCloud id. This way, we can each sync our own calendars, contacts, etc. between our respectvie iPhone and iPad, but we don't get cross-contaminated. This has seemed to work well.
MY ONE PROBLEM: I would love to use the app synciong feature, so that when i buy a new app or music on one of my devices, it gets automatically downloaded to my other device, without it being automatically added to my wife's devices, and vice-versa. This does not seem to work. Apparently, iCloud uses teh iTunes id, not the new iCloud ids, for syncuing purchases. Needless to say, I don't want my daughter's pet games on my devices!
Any suggestions on this problem woudl be greatly appreciated!
We only share the iTunes apple ID for apps and music. For FaceTime, iCloud, iMessage etc we each have our own. iCloud and photostream is turned off for all but my phone since I'm the only one who benefits from it. My husband uses his work blackberry for his calendar so his iPhone calendars is blank!
I love iCloud and have a separate accounts for my wife Audi (for reminders and contacts), but one account for calendar and iTunes.
Big question for me is I hate Yahoo! mail, any way to migrate all folders and emails to iCloud?
My setup is as follows:
Me: iPad, iPhone 4s, work iMac, home MacBook account
Wife: iPhone 4s, home MacBook account
I setup a new .me account for both my wife and myself and a third group .me iCloud account to share. All my devices use my .me iCloud account and my wifes devices all use her .me iCloud account. We use the group .me iCloud account to share a calendar, reminders and contacts for both of us.
You could just eliminate the group account and share your iCloud mail account on another users device to share contacts, calendars and reminders, but the mail can get shared as well, although you can turn that off. Also, it keeps things a bit cleaner and more organized, especially for backup purposes. I have my calendar and contacts, she has hers and we share calendar and contacts on another account. Since you can edit shared contacts and calendars, we really won't have to touch the group iCloud account much at all.
Photo Stream is simple. Just enable iCloud and turn Photo Stream on from iPhoto under your individual accounts on a Mac, share libraries and you're done. Each backup is made seperately and we can upload each others photos on our devices. Even better, I can also setup Photo Stream to my account at work for backup purposes.
So far so good. I do hope though that iPhoto will allow multiple streams to one location to make backup that much easier.
Hope this helps.
Hi Lanewidick
Did you get an answer to your problem.
I have done the Sam thing, somehow linking my wife's account.
Do you know how to separate them ?
Please let me know.
How do I get my yahoo calendar to show up in iCloud? It was shared on my devices before iCloud but now it doesn't show up.
This post is wrong! iTunes Match is NOT streaming. It maechts your iTunes library, hence the term match, to what iTunes has in its store. If tracks are in your library that are not offered through iTunes, those tracks WILL be uploaded to their servers. This service, however, doesn't stream. It downloads the tracks to your devices storage. You can delete the tracks off of your device if you no longer wish to listen to them, but it's NOT streaming. Please get your facts straight before you start sharing an opinion.
Hmm Well I was just searching on yahoo and just came across your site, generally I just only visit sites and retrieve my needed info but this time the useful information that you posted in this post urged me to post here and appreciate your diligent work. I just bookmarked your site. Thank you again.

Explaining the Koontz Decision
A few months ago, the federal Supreme Court issued its decision in the case of Koontz v. St. Johns River Water Management District. I just attended a conference at my school (Touro Law Center) discussing Koontz and other constitutional issues relevant to land use planning, so I thought I would share a bit of what learned about this case from the two speakers who focused on Koontz (Chicago attorney Julie Tappendorf and George Mason University law professor Steven Eagle.)
Koontz is based on the Supreme Court's "exactions" doctrine. Under this doctrine, just as government cannot take your property without compensation under the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment, it cannot always make you give up part of your property in exchange for a permit to build on the rest of your land.
Such a bargain (called an "exaction") is allowed - but only under certain circumstances. The government may require a developer to give up property in exchange for a permit ONLY if the dedication of property advances a legitimate state interest and is roughly proportional to the harmful impact of the development.
So for example, suppose that Wal-Mart wishes to build a new store, and local government wants Wal-Mart to reduce the traffic caused by the new store by building a bike path near the store. The courts will allow this "exaction" only if the bike path is likely to reduce traffic enough to be "proportional" to the traffic caused by the development. So if the Wal-Mart adds 10,000 cars to the neighborhood but the bike path only subtracts 1,000, the city cannot make Wal-Mart give up land for the bike path.
In Koontz, the Supreme Court expanded this exactions doctrine in two ways. First, the Court held that this doctrine applies when the government denies a permit because a developer refuses to give up land-- not just when the government granted a conditional permit as in prior cases. Second, the Court (by a narrower margin) held that the doctrine applies when the city requires a developer to pay the city money in exchange for a permit - not just when the city requires a dedication of land, as in prior cases. In both these situations, the dedication must satisfy the "rough proportionality" test discussed above.
There has been a significant division of opinion about Koontz; some commentators say it doesn't change the law very much, while others fear that it significantly limits local environmental regulation. One reason for this division of opinion may exist because Koontz leaves two major issues open:
*The exactions doctrine applies only when government demands money or property in exchange for a building permit. But how are courts going to draw the line between permissible negotiation and a possibly impermissible "demand"?
*The exactions doctrine applies when the government wants money in an exchange for a permit, but presumably would not apply to generally applicable taxes and fees affecting all landowners. But how are courts going to draw the line between a monetary exaction and a routine tax or fee?
Over the next few years, the lower courts will have to sort out these issues.

Phoenix vote could ban animals from 'puppy mills'
PHOENIX -- Phoenix could soon follow the lead of Los Angeles and San Diego by restricting sales at pet stores.
On Wednesday, the city council will vote on banning stores from selling dogs and cats obtained from large, commercial breeders, often referred to as "puppy mills."
"They're into quantity, never quality," said council member Thelda Williams. "They treat the puppies horribly."
Williams believes there is enough support among council members to approve the ban and to require stores to only sell dogs and cats they get from shelters and non-profit rescue groups.
"We support local business, we're not putting them out of business," said Williams. "We are giving them an option where they can get dogs. I think if the big stores can survive really well on it, the little ones can too."
Many big retailers, like Phoenix-based PetSmart, work with animal-welfare groups to run adoption programs in their stores. In 2011, Macerich, the company that owns several shopping malls in the Valley, announced it will not renew existing pet store leases.
The proposed ban would not apply to small, local breeders.
If Phoenix councilmembers approve the ordinance, it would take effect in 30 days. Williams said violators could face misdemeanor charges.

I'm an oldish guy, who was invlevod with, and wrote a fair amount for, Wired in the early days. I haven't written a lot for the web. So maybe I just don't get it. But I've got to say that it seems to me that much of this debate like the NYT article that spawned it is based on a false premise.I don't see how falling advertising rates at Wired are Chris Anderson's problem. Readership is, but that's going up and for my two cents Chris has done a fantastic job of reinventing the magazine for a post-Web-n.0 existence. Advertising sales are an issue for the publisher and ad sales director. Chris has delivered a bunch of eyeballs. It's up to them to package them into an attractive deal for advertisers. That won't be an easy problem to solve. Wired invented a demographic that every publisher in existence in the early 1990s told Louis didn't exist. So reinventing it may also require creating another new demographic. But that is still doable; and it's theirs to do. The magazine though not necessarily the web brands will succeed or fail on their solution. But jumping on Chris, however much fun it may be, is irrelevant and possibly counter-productive. As to the more interesting issue of how best to leverage print and online, there are certainly Bengali-typhoon-sized opportunities. But the fundamental problem, I reckon, is that they remain different worlds, and individual journalists can't really bridge them in a way that coheres to individual articles or threads of discussion of the sort that advertisers can sell (though, yes, people can and do write successfully for both, and hats off to Felix Salmon among others for doing so). It's tempting, but they require different sorts of storytelling, and imply different concerns and conversations.When I was with The Economist in the mid 1980s, I interviewed a wonderful man at the Wall Street Journal called Bill Dunn. He had a vision. Dow Jones published for a variety of markets, from high-priced newsletters for commodities markets to the journal itself. One of the wonders of information, Dunn reckoned, was that less and narrower (eg, today in oil futures) sold for more than more and broader (eg, the Journal). So his idea was to create economies of scale in information production, and then maximize revenue from it by slicing and dicing to hit every possible single point under the demand curve. It didn't work, because the sort of people and articles that can fascinate oil traders are not the same as those who can compel readers of the Journal. In Wired terms, their contexts are different.Many of the same issues apply to writing for print and the web, although differently. So the key trick seems to me to be to get get different sets of editorial people, with different agendas, goals and concerns, to work in harmony to a common goal. Parts of this thread show how many ways this is like getting cats in a sack to sing in harmony. Other parts show how many really cool possibilities there are. But the basic point remains. Most of this discussion is just talking about how to get more *readers*. Chris has done that. Possibly could do better, but nonetheless the real issue for the magazine is how to get more *advertisers*.

Though it just hit shelves this month, Kiehl's Limited Edition New York Heritage Collection won't be around long. Launched in celebration of the brand's 160 year anniversary, the line consists of four historical formulas (that remain customer faves today) originally developed at the brand's esteemed East Village apothecary. Original Musk Oil, Ultra Facial Cream and Moisturizer and Calendula Toner come in snazzy black and gold packaging that give a nod to Kiehl's NYC roots.
Revisiting the Classics
Did you know…the Original Musk Oil, ($39) is said to have been formulated by a royal relative of the Kiehl's family? According to legend, the cult classic was crafted by a Russian prince before it was stashed away in a vat labeled 'Love Oil' in the basement of the flagship store. Interesting…regardless of where it came from, one thing is for sure…the Original Musk Oil stands the test of time and remains synonymous with the Kiehl's brand.
Did you know…first offered in the 1960s, the original Ultra Facial Moisturizer, ($22) is still one the brand's most in demand items? The versatile, lightweight formula remains a customer favorite as does the adventure-tested, rich Ultra Facial Cream, ($39) that sold over 1,480,000 pieces around the world last year.
Flower children, rejoice…Kiehl's Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner is proof that some things never change. Just as smoothing, refreshing and wholesome as the early bottles crafted in the 1960s, the brand's toner continues to be made from real whole Marigold flowers. Handpicked, flowers are placed into each and every bottle to create an alcohol-free, gentle toner perfect for oily prone skin.
Kiehl's Limited Edition Collection is available in the New York City Flagship store, as well as other Kiehl's stores nationwide until December 2011. For more info, check out the site.

The high quality mega brush has a soft-touch rubberized handle to make application easy, while the high brush hair count makes for quit an effective distribution of shadow. Even better? It's 100% cruelty-free.

Puffiness. Fine lines. Wrinkles. The top under eye concerns for most of you ladies out there can now be addressed…overnight. Kiehl's latest launch, Midnight Recovery Eye ($36), is a restorative concentrate for the delicate eye area. The non-migrating cream-to-oil texture is made up of a unique blend of active essential and botanical oils.

By APCNews
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA, 31 August 2005
On Monday 29 August 2005 the APC network lost someone who was a colleague, a leader and a friend.
Chris Nicol, member of the APC">APC counciland also of the APC website ">APC executive board, died in Barcelona after more than a year of struggling against cancer. For much of the time during this battle Chris was winning, continuing to work, travel and network when the difficult cycle of surgery and treatment left him with any spare time.
Chris was an Australian who had been living in Barcelona for around 25 years. He also spent time in Nicaragua in the period just after the Sandinistas overthrew the Somoza dictatorship. Chris worked in the British Council in Barcelona for many years, he taught English and set down roots in Catalunya in many ways - politically, culturally, socially and through his long relationship with his partner Chenchy. Chris was also active in the Barcelona solidarity movement with the Zapatistas, organising, raising funds, helping out where he could. And he loved music, wine, and nature.
Chris was deeply committed to justice, to humanity. He was a real activist who also threw himself into practical and concrete tasks with energy and humour.
Chris became part of the APC community in 1995. His organisation, Pangea, was part of an association of Spanish Source: TechSoup Glossary and GenderIT.org">internetactivist organisations which together applied for APC membership. In 2000 Pangea (www.pangea.org) became a member of APC in its own right. Chris was part of Pangea from its first days, working sometimes as a volunteer and sometimes as staff, but always giving heart and soul to the organisation.
He first attended an APC council meeting in 1997 in South Africa although many APC people had already met him by then. Chris was first elected onto the APC executive board at the APC council meeting in Uruguay in 2001 and at the time of his death he was APC treasurer. He worked tirelessly at a recent executive board meeting in South Africa in April even though he had only just finished another gruelling round of treatment.
For all of us in APC it is very hard to express how much Chris meant in the network. His was always an active voice, supportive and sometimes critical.
He was deeply committed to APC strengthening its The American Heritage Dictionaries on Answers.com ">advocacyrole, to being more than a provider of member services. He was one of the first people in APC to raise the issue of Free Software Foundation ">free software, to start using GNU/Linux on his desktop, and to develop projects to support organisations in migrate their desktop environments to free and open source software.
Chris made two contributions to APC's work recently which will live on for a long time. He was the editor and compiler of "APC">ICT policy: a beginner's handbook" (http://www.apc.org/books) which we published in English in late 2003 and in Spanish this year. This book will be updated with a new version going online on a wiki so that it can remain a living and growing testimony to Chris' work. And, earlier this year, he drafted the outline of a free software initiative for the APC network which we have been building on and which will be presented to APC members later this year.
Chris was a permanently engaged member of the APC team participating in the World Summit on the Information Society (Source: APC ICT Policy Handbook and APC Annual Report 2005.">WSIS) process, from its inception in 2002 through to the latest PrepCom in Geneva, February 2005, one of his last work related trips. In many ways, he was a compass – always pointing to those actions that were necessary, just and not always easy - whether it was in solidarity around redressing unjust distribution of resources, the fierce battles around Style information: N/a
Source: "Did You Say "Intellectual Property"? It's a Seductive Mirage" by Richard Stallman ">intellectual propertyand free software, or insisting that the APC team met to communicate and strategise regularly in the hustle and bustle of the United Nations conferences.
Every moment was precious to Chris, precious in that he felt one should never be wasted - whether the moment was spent drafting, lobbying, meeting, demonstrating, or talking with friends and colleagues.
Chris was always there, whenever we needed him, and was a constant reminder of our message and vision - to create "a world in which all people have easy, equal and affordable access to the creative potential of ICTs to improve their lives and create more democratic and egalitarian societies" (the APC vision).
All of us in the APC community want to share our love and support of Chris with his family and his friends, with Chenchy and with Chris' mother and sister in Australia, with his colleagues in Pangea.
APC will not forget Chris and will be honouring and remembering Chris Nicol through an initiative that will reflect his passion and committment to creating a more socially just world, and inspire others to continue the battle to do so.
We will share more news about this initiative shortly, but at this time, we warmly welcome all of those who knew or knew of Chris and his life's work, to share messages on the editable website we have created in his honour.

Teen Mom
Courtland Rogers's Mug Shot and New Arrest Details! (PHOTO)
It's official, y'all! Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans's estranged husband, 27-year-old Courtland Rogers, is currently locked up at the Brunswick County Sheriff's office in North Carolina after he was served with arrest warrants in Pender County on March 5, 2013 — and Wetpaint Entertainment has his mug shot to prove it!
According to sheriff's office spokesperson Emily Flax, there are a total of six — count 'em, six! — charges facing the wayward roofer: four counts assault on a female and two counts battery of an unborn child. Jenelle Evans's lawyer Dustin Sullivan confirmed that Courtland's arrest is a result of the domestic abuse charges Jenelle filed against him on January 23, 2013.
Dustin also confirmed that each charge could land Courty up to 150 days in the slammer!
Jenelle, who miscarried at roughly 7-weeks, is currently shacked up in a rehab facility undergoing treatment for stress and emotional issues. After her dramatic split from Courtland, things only got worse. She fell back into the arms of ex-fiancé, Gary Head, who pleaded guilty to assaulting Jenelle just last year.
As for Courtland's well-being, it's not looking good. Hours before his arrest, Courtland was tweeting sweet nothings to Jenelle (despite the fact that she has no access to social media at the moment), as if things between the estranged couple were on the up-and-up. Unfortunately, the problems between Jenelle and Courtland are on a downward spiral, the likes of which we haven't seen since the Kieffer Delp era!
Keep checking back to Wetpaint Entertainment for all the developments on Courtland's arrest, and tell us below who you believe: Team Courtland or Team Jenelle?

The textile, leather, furniture, and agro-processing industries will subject to an assessment benefit from the World Banks financial support next year in order to boost production and growth.
During the industrial week for textile and clothing sub-sectors, World Bank's Africa senior economist Douglas Zeng said the bank is ready to support Kenya's industrialisation growth on priority sectors but did not disclose the amount involved.
"We will start with a diagnosis to find the key constraints and potential growth areas so that we can provide financial support," Zeng said. He said that some of the priority sectors will require technical inclusion and benchmarking from countries which have excelled in the textiles and agroprocessing sectors.
"For us to succeed in improving some areas, there will be need for international experiments and study tours," he said. The Ministry of Industrialization said that it has started reviving ginneries, controlling cotton prices, and now targeting to get a worldwide market for textiles and clothing sectors' products, so as to enhance job creation and to get more value for the farmers.
"We are addressing the value chain by reviving the ginneries and stabilizing the fluctuating cotton prices so that farmers can get a fair share of what they have worked for," Director of Industries, Erustus Kimuri said. "We want to promote the textile sector by enhancing value addition locally so as to create local and international markets."

The state of Washington has an opportunity to expand our ports and to secure the region's position as a global trade leader for decades.
Every so often, I welcome a reminder of why I do something. Although it was news that left me unsettled when I read about an iconic Puyallup bulb farm that was being considered for develop-ment, one of my values was reinforced.
Tacoma News Tribune
John F. Kennedy once said, "Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer."
You might decide to buy a house that needs a few repairs or a new roof, but what if the property had a "toxic cleanup site" sign in the backyard? Simpson Lumber Co. took a risk like that when it bought the local pulp and paper mill in 1985.
In Washington state and across our country, Americans are sick of congressional gridlock. It's gotten so bad that one of the favorite measuring tools in Washington, D.C. – approval ratings – now peg the public's approval of Congress at a measly 10 percent.
You see the horrific stories in the news too often.

Do guys think uggs are ugly?
My guy friends in college make fun of uggs all the time. They ALL HATE them, and don't get why girls like them. as girls, we think they are... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes. To men, Ugg boots are some of the ugliest and most annoying things a woman can own, and the mere sight of them can be enough to kill any interest he may have had in her, permanently. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but just Google "What women wear that men hate" and you'll see that no matter how "cute" you might think they are, all Ugg boots (and the person who designed them) should be put in a rocket and fired into the Sun.
Please, for the love of all that is good and pure, get rid of any Ugg boots you own and convince your friends to do the same.
What Guys Said 28
i don't think there is a problem with uggs necessarily but I think mostly guys are turned off at the masses of people shlopping around in them. so often girls will where them with any and everything and it just seems lazy.
for me the turn off is the lack of individuality/creativity in anything a person wears that everyone wears (it's not like a pea coat or jeans, there are a million varieties of shoes, boats, etc) AND the fact that so often they are worn as the equivalent to sweat pants (in that they seem to be a lazy choice)
my girlfriend owns a pair of uggs and wears them occassionally which I like. If she wore them every day with any old outfit I'd probably have a different opinion
Are your guy friends gay? That not the common thing I have heard any guy talk about.. LOL.
I find uggs and big boots cute on girls, thought it's not one of the things I usually notice.
lol no, they aren't gay. theyre completely straight, however, a few of them are "pretty boys" but the others are "country boys"
1- I personally got no problem with them.
2- Maybe will be a shocker, but men don't care about what shoes you are wearing, the only thing that matter is: does it have high heels or not ? (end of the story) (if anyone disagree with me please comment because I am sure of that one).
3- Style and fashion will depends on where you are and who you hang out with, from the little I know, UGGs are more expensive as other similar shoes, they have tried to develop a special brand image of quality, and it was quite successful a few years back ( there is even a reference to them in an episode of Entourage).
Now here is a note to think about: Some people found CROCS cool... I mean for heaven's sake those thing are useful but they are not cool.
If you like them, wear them, if you think they match your outfit, own that look and it will be good.
I hope it helps ^^.
if I shut my brain off for a minute, they can look OK. But if I think at all, I realize that they're basically slippers. At which point I find it harder to take her seriously, because she is wearing slippers. Basta.
I know Ugg make different kinds, but since I'm most familiar with the boots, that's what I'm basing this on.
I mean would you take a guy seriously if he showed up in slippers?
omg yes. they are the ugliest f*cking pieces of clothing ever made. they're unflattering to a woman's figure, they look like something eskimos wear, and they're not cute.
any guy who says they're cute has probably never gotten laid so what do they know and hence is disqualified from saying what's cute and what isn't.
What Girls Said 4
when they first came out omg I thought they were the uggliest things ever they have grown on me and I did give in and get a pair lst year because they were on sale for like 2 bucks lol wonder why! BUT they deff grew on me warm and semi comfy and can worn with a lot of different things which I like...but jeez they can start to smell ask any girl and its gross! Not saying I have smelly feet it just what they are made out of. So I can not help you with this but if you like em wear em that's all that matter! Deff won't buy them again though need other sexy flat comfy boots they have so many new styles that are also natural and go GREAT with leggins since that what I live in now lol...
Have an opinion?

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Real Housewives of Orange County Recap For Season 7, Episode 17: Whitewatergate
Real Housewives of Orange County Season 7, Episode 17 picks up a little earlier than where the tropical adventure left off last week. Once again, Alexis Bellino reminds her friends at the table that not only did Tamra Barney bring a Louis Vuitton handbag into the jungle, she's also a mean and hateful person. In case you drank too much of Vicki Gunvalson's "jungle juice" to remember the last episode, the ladies are staging an intervention to cure Alexis of her "phoniness."
Except that interventions aren't really a cure in and of themselves. The unwilling participant has to realize they have a problem and go to rehab. In this case, Alexis is crying too hard and babbling about things Heather Dubrow's husband, Terry, did or didn't say (it was impossible to parse her sentences at this point) to really process anything. Heather seems slightly bewildered as to why Terry was brought into the discussion at all. "We like you for you; we don't like you for your f***ing ring," Tamra shouts, except she clearly doesn't like Alexis at all. Vicki sits quietly by, but later says to the camera that all the Housewives are phony and materialistic in some way.
Everyone gets their turn to critique Alexis. Heather is proud to have poor friends, too. Gretchen says Alexis comes across as inappropriate or pretentious, but pulls out her therapy speak. If they want to help Alexis, they need to say, "The way you just said that made me feel this way," Gretchen coaches them.
At this point, Alexis realizes she needs a retreat from this retreat. Heather attempts to hug the weeping woman, who says she wants to be alone. In a private interview, months later, Alexis is still crying about the girls' heartlessness.
As the rain starts to fall, the ladies congratulate each other on their honesty. Gretchen gets an especially big shout-out for being such a supportive friend. Privately, Vicki finds this laughable and thinks they should just accept each other, flaws and all. Gretch leaves the dinner table to go see Alexis, who still wants to be alone. Later, Alexis reveals that she felt betrayed and didn't want Gretchen in the room.
Gretch tells Alexis the situation is hard on her. Who is she, Vicki? Making everything about her now? "What about me?" Alexis asks. Gretchen tells the camera she's Alexis's one true friend at the table.
Back at dinner, Gretchen starts to cry, then begins to make eerily accurate predictions: Alexis will say she's not a good friend and that Gretchen turned against her. Vicki tells the others that she likes Alexis and feels bad for her. Tamra suggests she go talk to her and bring her lobster. (See? They really do care about Alexis: Otherwise, they would've kept the lobster for themselves.) Naturally, Tamra distrusts Vicki's motives. Gretchen peers into her crystal ball again and says Alexis will let Vicki into her room — even though she rebuffed Gretch. She's right. Vicki manages to get past Alexis's barricade. To be fair, she did have a plate of lobster.
Once inside, Vicki gives Alexis a hug out of love and recounts the time Tamra bashed her on a trip to San Francisco. Why do they always fight on vacation? Alexis realizes that V's intentions are good even though she continues to talk about herself. Later, Vicki tells the camera that everyone is jealous of the drop-dead gorgeous Alexis.
When Vicki doesn't immediately return to the table, Gretchen realizes that Alexis has let her into her room. Why would she do such a thing? To spite Gretchen, of course. OC warfare is occasionally subtle and passive-aggressive.
The following day dawns bright and full of monkeys and frogs. Alexis packs up — luckily she planned to leave the trip early all along. Heather comes to check on her and says she feels bad that Alexis got so upset. "We all have stuff to work on," says Heather, and she hopes to get know the sweet, fun side of Alexis better.
Since Alexis has some time before her flight, she decides to put last night behind her and hang out with the ladies a little longer. In the van on the way to the national park, Alexis thanks Vicki. While Gretchen takes this as a snub, the truly upsetting part is that Alexis reveals she only ate one bite of her lobster. We are shell-shocked.
"This is the Costa Rica I was picturing," Heather says when they arrive at the beach, where a picnic with champs (or champagne, if your last name isn't Dubrow) is waiting. Gretchen and Alexis wander off to discuss last night. Gretchen doesn't quite believe her friend when she says Vicki barged in regardless of what Alexis wanted. While she needed someone to be on her side, Alexis says all Gretchen could talk about was how sad she was. Gretchen explains that it was hard to see Alexis crying and that's why she was upset. When Gretchen calls her pretentious again, Alexis wants to know why dainty Heather and her Chanel beach bag aren't considered flaunting. Nothing really gets resolved, and Alexis says in a private interview that she doesn't know if she and G can recover.
In bikini tops and beachwear, the remaining ladies drink champagne on the beach. While Vicki is secretly feeling superior to Gretchen for succeeding where she failed with Alexis, outwardly it's all silliness. Tamra pulls off Gretchen's shorts and runs after Vicki. Heather tries to remain dignified, but it's hard to do with Tamra and Gretchen rubbing their butts together. "You gave me champagne!" Tamra accuses Heather, who says she's never doing that again. Then they flagrantly flout the rules and feed the monkeys.
It's less combative with Alexis gone, but it certainly isn't less emotional. At a nature park, the ladies each pick a tree to plant so they can leave a legacy in the rainforest. (At least, that's what Vicki wants to do.) Vicki gets one for the absent Alexis, which is sweet.
As Vicki watches Heather and Gretchen plant their trees, she says, "This is romantic." She wants to come back with her grandkids 20 years from now.
"It just shows that, like, we're gonna be entwined for the rest of lives in nature," Gretchen pontificates.
"You know what's gonna be sad one day? When one of us dies," says Vicki, out of nowhere. Then she starts crying, presumably over their eventual demise.
Heather tells her not to be sad. "Did you have too much champagne?" she asks. Vick says she's sad and happy at the same time. In her emotional state, Vicki (accidentally) murders Alexis's tree. The irony is not lost on Heather. Tamra thinks everything that's happened the last year has made Vicki lose her mind.
It's time to white-water raft. Heather pointedly said she scheduled her flight so she wouldn't miss any activities, unlike Alexis. While Heather is freaking that the raft will sink if it's raining, Vicki is all smiles. "This could be the last picture of our lives," says Vicki, though this time their impending deaths don't make her cry.
Warning: Watching this section at loud volumes may cause hearing damage. "There's no way we're all gonna survive," Vicki predicts. There's a lot of screaming and shrieking as the ladies make their way through the rapids. Everyone lives. Look what they can accomplish when they all work together!
Once they're out of the raft, Vicki is still in tears. "Call me, like, every day for the rest of your life," she tells Heather, who is leaving for her flight. And then there were three. Time for cocktails.
Miss Champs is gone, and Vicki, Gretchen, and Tamra need beer. A still-emotional Vicki begins to cry about Donn. He's going to be sad without her and miss her cooking. Gretchen tells her he has to figure out his own happiness, and Tamra tells her she'll always worry about him. "He's my family," Vicki says, but adds that it takes two people to get divorced.
It's not that she wants Donn back, though. She wishes her marriage could have been saved. Tamra thinks the sobbing Vicki is at her breaking point. "I'm not a crazy girl," Vicki insists; she's just upset about Briana's elopment. But she also has a new best friend in Brooks, so that makes her happy. Vicki is a complicated ball of emotions.
The adventure in Costa Rica is over, and the ladies head back to the OC, where the sun never sets on their friendships.
Next week, Brooks needs new teeth, Tamra thinks Eddie will propose in Bora Bora, and Gretchen and Slade get into a big fight.

Main navigation | Main content
TAs who are teaching recitation, lab, or discussion sections report that students frequently come to them with complaints they may have about the professor who is leading the lecture portion of the class. Such complaints put the TA in an awkward position. Experienced TAs serving on the 2002-2003 CTL TA Liaison Council generated the following list of suggestions on how to handle this situation.
Remember that it's not your job to SOLVE problems between students and professors; students and the professor need to solve these problems. However, there are some ways you can be helpful.
Listen respectfully and neutrally. Sometimes students just need to vent and don't expect or want you to do anything about their complaint.
If you think students have a legitimate complaint, it's important not to take sides. You don't want a statement like "Even the TA thinks this test is totally unfair" circulating through the class. Instead of siding with the students against the professor, help the students think of constructive ways to deal with the situation.
Encourage the student to talk with (or send an e-mail to) the professor. You can help him/her figure out ways of wording the issues in a constructive manner.
If the student doesn't feel that talking with the professor is an option, advise the student to (1) talk with the department chair or the director of undergraduate studies or (2) contact the Student Dispute Resolution Center.
If the student complaint involves issues such as discrimination or sexual harassment, tell the student to contact the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action.
NEXT semester you might ask the professor before the beginning of the semester how s/he could like you to handle any complaints or problems that students might confide in you.
