Ladies, I'm so excited!
I have very fair, pretty dry, somewhat sensitive skin. It's always been pretty clear, but I'd get a few bumps during my period. When I got pregnant, I started getting lots of clogged pores/whiteheads and cystic breakouts below the surface of my skin. They were red and unsightly, painful, and even under make up you could see the awful texture. I'm a bit of a make up nerd so this really bothered me. Nothing I tried was working.
Then on Friday afternoon I purchased Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector for $42. (Website says $49.50, but I checked my receipt from my local Macy's Clinique counter, it was $42)
In three days of use my red spots are healing, my clogged pores have gone flat, and overall my skin is smoother and brighter looking. I'm Amazed! It's a pricey investment, but I feel so much better about my face and didn't feel the need to wear foundation today.
The lady on the counter told me they're coming out with a lotion form of the Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer SPF 20 in April of May. The current product is very emollient and might clog pores on sensitive skin. The lotion form is supposed to be a lighter formula.
The reviews on-line are mixed, but the product has a money back guarentee!
Anyway I just had to share because I know so many women struggling to get their pregnant skin under control. I think Clinique does their free gift with purchase in March, so you may want to consider treating yourself!

A historic agreement was signed on Friday 23rd September 2011 with our Sister School in Bandung Indonesia. Principal Philip Cachia, and Senior School teachers Clare Curtis, Jack Rendle and Robert Lagreca visited Maria Bintang Laut (Mary Star of the Sea) School to look at Indonesian Schools, take lessons with various classes and run professional development with teachers from the school. It was an honour and privilege to have been welcomed so warmly by Principal Lanny Luniarti, the teachers and the children during our stay. We reciprocated the gesture in March 2012 and 2013 when staff from our sister school visited Our Lady Help Of Christians School. In September 2012 five of our Junior School teachers returned to Bandung to continue this wonderful relationship. Then again in 2013 three of our teachers visited Bandung. The most recent exchange was in March 2014 when Ibu Lucy, Ibu Dora and Pak Puji came to Melbourne.
In September 2014 we signed another Memorandum of Understanding to extend the Sister School relationship for a further three years.

Use select charts from the Guide to the Markets to engage in portfolio discussions.
Alternatives have long been part of institutional portfolios, helping investors dampen volatility and potentially increase returns over the long term. Recent developments mean retail investors can now access many of these strategies.
Perhaps the most well-known and intuitive adage in investing is to "buy low and sell high." Today, this saying seems to suggest investors would be wise to sell their equities as the S&P 500 sits at or near record levels.
With interest rates at historic lows, investors should think about diversifying across asset classes and internationally to achieve higher income.
Investing beyond traditional "core" U.S. investment grade bonds into core complement and extended sectors may provide benefits regardless of the rate and inflationary environments.
With the prospect of rising rates, investors can no longer focus exclusively on the bond market for income-generating solutions. Dividend-paying equities can provide investors with income, and rising dividend payout ratios, coupled with a consistently growing economy, could result in attractive returns.
The United States is the largest consumer of oil in the world, and one of the largest producers. Because of this, large swings in the price of oil can have big impacts on the U.S. economy. The recent plunge in oil prices will provide a boost to consumers and many businesses, but have an adverse effect on exporters and energy companies.
Economic growth in emerging markets has been almost double that of developed markets over the past decade. But in recent years, a stronger U.S. dollar and a steep decline in commodity prices have left some emerging economies under pressure. While the long-run picture remains promising, investors should look to actively differentiate within the asset class going forward.
Though the S&P 500 has recovered from its 2009 lows, durable economic growth, attractive valuations in select sectors, and unprecedented levels of corporate cash suggest that investors should hone their focus on U.S. equities.
After a brutal recession and a painfully slow recovery, the U.S.economy is finally beginning to strengthen. With this recovery, however, comes the need for Federal Reserve (Fed) policy makers to begin to return monetary policy to normal—a prospect that has created consternation and angst among investors.
Today, fixed income investors face the impact of eventual rising rates, yet still need bonds for diversification. Investing across core, core complement and extended fixed income sectors may help generate income, reduce volatility and hedge interest rate risk.
A global snapshot reveals strengthening growth momentum in many international markets. Yet many U.S. investors may have insufficient exposure to them.
Though Europe's economy has started the year with some momentum, 2015 may still be a volatile year. Despite headwinds, Europe's return to growth may improve earnings in the years to come, presenting opportunities for long-term investors.
Building and maintaining an appropriate asset allocation can help increase returns and reduce volatility over time. Market volatility can be an opportunity to rebalance back to an allocation that reflects your investment and income objectives, time horizon and tolerance for risk.
Since the last recession, the U.S. economy has more than recovered its lost output, pushing equity markets to new highs, in spite of persistent investor skepticism. This is why it is important to maintain perspective. Despite some headwinds and negative headlines, the economic expansion looks poised to continue.

Thomas Content offers insight on changes in the world of energy, climate change and efforts to build a greener economy.
Pipeline approved, decision on coal plant coming by year's end
The state Public Service Commission this week approved a nearly $30 million natural gas pipeline project proposed by We Energies.
The project is located primarily in West Allis but also is in parts of West Milwaukee, New Berlin and Milwaukee. It will replace an old section of pipeline and expand it to allow natural gas to be shipped to the Valley Power Plant, a coal-fired power plant next to the High Rise Bridge.
Construction of the pipeline is expected to start next year and be completed in 2014.
A coalition of community and environmental groups last week called on We Energies to announce its plans to curb pollution from the Valley plant by the end of this year. The groups want We Energies to address the fact that the Milwaukee plant is the only coal plant We Energies operates in the state that lacks modern pollution controls.
Because of this week's PSC decision on the pipeline, the utility is in a better position to complete its analysis of converting the coal plant to burn natural gas, utility spokesman Brian Manthey said Thursday.
"We'll be able to make that decision by the end of the year, if not sooner," he said.
Emily Miota of the Sierra Club, a member of the Cleaner Valley Coalition, said she was pleased that the utility is moving toward a final decision.
"They could have made a public commitment to do something about this much earlier, and we didn't believe they had to wait," she said. "But now that they've gotten what they needed from the PSC, let's hurry up and see the plan and see that full commitment."
The power plant is in compliance with state and federal permits, but more stringent environmental rules and low natural gas prices are prompting utilities across the country to shift from burning coal to natural gas for many older power plants.
The Valley plant provides steam for downtown Milwaukee businesses as well as electricity. We Energies is the state's largest electric utility with 1.1 million customers.

September 2010 Management Briefing - Innovation in the Drinks Industry – Part I
Drinks companies, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, have targeted their efforts at the developing markets of the world in recent years. Not only has the trend reaped rewards in terms of sales, but multinationals have been introduced to drinks types and flavours that are new to them.
As people migrate across the globe, the drinks industry has witnessed a slow influx of regionalised flavours into untraditional markets. White and green tea from Asia is now sold around the world, and 'exotic' fruits such as pomegranate, mango and lychee are becoming popular juice flavours in Europe and the US. And that's before alcoholic drinks are taken into account, with imported flavours inspiring domestic innovation - lime flavoured beers, for instance, have proved to be popular in North America, with Miller Chill and Anheuser-Busch's Bud Light Lime leading the pack.
"The world has become a much smaller place, and there's a greater likelihood of cross-pollination of products than in the past," says Gary Hemphill from US-based drinks consultancy the Beverage Marketing Corporation. "Marketers are increasingly looking at bringing products from one place to another. The product may not be exactly the same, but they can retrofit the tastes of one market to suit a new one."
Health and functional drinks are especially taking off, and often rely on beneficial ingredients from emerging markets.
"If you look at brands like VitaminWater, they're coming out with more diverse and exciting flavours," says Gary Roethenbaugh from drinks consultancy Zenith International, adding that Japanese-created functional water only began crossing into Europe about ten years ago. Green tea, long hailed as a health ingredient in Asia, is probably the most widespread Asian flavour in the world, Roethenbaugh adds. "If I were to look at any one flavour that crosses all borders I think that's the one." And, it's growing: according to Zenith International data, UK consumers bought 92m litres of green tea drinks in 2003, rising to 168m litres in 2007.
In Latin America, the diet-friendly açai berry and energy-boosting ingredients such as guaraná have been infiltrating the US market, and have moved to culturally similar European countries such as Spain and Portugal, Roethenbaugh notes.
Look for more of the same in future from Brazil. Its drinks manufacturers are able to take advantage of the diversity of natural ingredients grown in the Amazon region, with their many unique flavours and health benefits.
The açai berry boasts healthy antioxidant properties and, despite being consumed by Amazonians for centuries, its popularity in the US in drinks has only boomed over the last three years. Many US-based companies have started manufacturing new products which contain the berry, including mainstream US brands such as Odwalla, Campbell Soup Company's V8, SoBe and VitaminWater.
Beverage makers have transformed the way the berry was traditionally consumed for the diverse demands of the European and US markets. "In the US and Europe, açai is consumed in a variety of ways – pulp, juice, smoothies, energy shots, energy drinks, and more," says Rodrigo Bosco Correa, the marketing manager for Açai Roots, an exporter of açai products from Brazil to the US. "The market is strong for all these segments and there is a lot of room for expansion.
"Many açai-based products that you find in the US are not yet found in Brazil," he continues, noting that, in Brazil, açai is most frequently consumed as a frozen pulp. "Although we have seen an increase in the variety of ways açai can be consumed, there is still a very big gap between the frozen pulp and the other options," Bosco Correa says. "Many brands in Brazil are now using açai for different things, but weakly compared to its possibilities."
Other Brazilian ingredients such as guaraná, acerola and yerba mate - also popular in Argentina - have also made their way into the outside beverage market, notably through innovative CSDs and energy drinks.
Innovative alcoholic drinks may well go the same way. Cachaça, a uniquely Brazilian spirit made from fresh-pressed fermented and distilled cane juice, is the third most-drunk spirit in the world; however, it is not particularly well-known outside Brazil. Cachaça companies are hoping to change that, by elevating the spirit to new levels through fermentation and distillation innovations. For example, Leblon Cachaça, made in Minas Gerais in the heart of Brazil, uses traditional methods for making the spirit combined with European techniques including ageing the spirit in Cognac casks, under the guidance of their master distiller, Gilles Merlet, from Cognac, France. Another well-known company, Sagatiba Cachaça, produces aged cachaça in copper pot stills, like those used for whisky.
Meanwhile, emerging markets also have major domestic consumer bases to be tapped, if drinks companies are innovative enough to dovetail their offerings with local tastes.
Take India. It has huge diversity in tastes and preferred flavours, a major challenge for national and international drink manufacturers who often use regional flavours and multiple product lines to entice local consumers. According to Ravi Mehra, chairman of the flavours subcommittee at the Fragrances & Flavours Association of India, international beverage companies like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo have not risen to the challenge, marketing their international products through slowly developing a taste amongst Indian consumers. They have now realised there are regional drinks and flavours which could be more popular. "The only thing is that they need to be promoted regionally," he says.
In addition to their popular mango-based drinks in India, both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo have been aggressively marketing their non-aerated lime drinks in 350ml packs costing around US$0.30. And, there are many locally popular drinks that could inspire drinks manufacturers to create popular Indian brands. For instance, 'Panna', made from unripe mangos, is traditionally consumed to avoid heatstroke during the long summer months; and salty 'Jal Jeera', made from mint and cumin, is also popular and considered to have medicinal properties. In the western state of Gujarat, almost all wedding parties begin with freshly-made soda drinks in a variety of flavours that could be used by corporate researchers; in the northern state of Punjab, plain soda is mixed with milk. 'Rooh-Afza,' a rose drink concentrate made by a century-old pharmaceuticals company Hamdard Laboratories costs US$2.25 for a 700ml bottle, and is popular throughout northern India.
Many of these innovations and potential opportunities are in the soft-drinks and juice sector and a similar picture can be found in China. Led by flavoured bottled tea drinks and low concentration juice blends, China's drinks market is innovating fast and focused on healthy products.
Coca-Cola China recently launched a string of new drinks tapping into this trend, through its Beverage Partners Worldwide joint venture with Nestlé. The brand Yuan Ye, which translates as 'authentic tea leaves', includes jasmine-flavoured green tea and honey-flavoured jasmine tea lines priced at CNY2.5 (US$0.36) for a 48cl bottle.
Coca-Cola is also targeting the juice market in China through its 10V series, under its Minute Maid brand. The 10V series' flavours includes kiwi, pear and pomegranate, a popular Asian fruit known for its rich antioxidants. Most importantly, according to the package, each bottle contains ten vitamins including vitamins C, E and B6. 10V series drinks are priced at CNY4 (US$0.58) for 42cl. Chen Jing, analyst at Beijing-based Beijing Orient Agribusiness Consultant Ltd, says that drinks advertised with healthy ingredients grabs the attention of Chinese consumers. "The hawthorn-flavoured plum juice is a good example," she says. "It is popular among Chinese for two reasons – for one it is a traditional summer drink, for another it is heavily advertised as a healthy drink for losing weight and helping drunk people to sober up."
Master Kong, a subsidiary of Ting Hsin International Group, launched its own plum juice in April 2010. Other innovative brands include Coca-Cola's Xue Fei Li, a carbonated plum juice, and Jiu Long Zai under Jiu Long Zai Foods, a food company based in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan.

Chuck is out for the remainder of the game. This Super Bowl is going downhill in a hurry.
not bad
Chuck is out for the remainder of the game. This Super Bowl is going downhill in a hurry.
Woodson out. Damn. It.
If even Joe Buck says your call was bad, um...
Is a much sadder place.
What now? Root only for woodley?
I've resigned myself to the fact that, in all likelihood, next year's halftime show will feature Justin Beiber and The Jonas Brothers.
Bieber at least doesn't take himself all that seriously. He's always been pretty funny on SNL.
It was bad enough to see him on SNL with dana carvey. I cannot imagine putting that douchebag in the Superbowl.
I can see it now....
The Scene: MICH Stadium....At night.....against Notre Dame.....
It's halftime, and.....what's this? The band does not take the field.....
"Oh, hai guys, it's Justin Beiber."
Ok, I can't claim to be a Justin Beiber fan but please explain to me how he's a douchebag. This kid has done nothing to deserve all the hate he gets. At first I didn't care, but after a crowd of full grown adults booed him at a basketball game, I just felt bad for the kid. I bet that really ruined his day. If you don't like his music, don't listen to it! Imagine if Michael Jackson had been hated like that (he probably did, but I can't imagine that it was to that degree). Here's a breakdown of how the JB craze could go:
Teenage fall in love with love with young male artist, ruin it for everyone, it's "uncool" to like any JB song even when he actually makes an ok song that isn't childish. Option A: Artist fizzles out and/or breaks down due hate from public, grows up and isn't adorable anymore, teenage girls lose interest. Option B: Artist matures and so does his music, but because still no one wants to listen cause JB is "lame". Option C: Everyone grows the fuck up and lets JB have his time in the limelight.
Now, I'm not saying I'm gonna buy any of his albums, but I'm not gonna hate because teenage girls freak out when they see him. Sometimes I just want shake a teenager and ask why the hell she's crying over JB, but that's no reason to hate the kid. It's not his fault these kids psychopathic freaks when he is around them.
To summarize this short essay, stop the JB hate. He's just a kid, why is he even popular enough to be getting so much hate!!!???
I love the articles that were coming about his leadership this post-season, one of the best examples of Michigan in the NFL currently.
Well, at least this game is going to be interesting. Kind of funny that people were calling it a game at halftime. The Packers have a knack of letting teams stick around, and Pitt is definitely not going to freak out.
Sucks that Woodson is hurt. Hopefully the rest of the Pack can fill in.
Remember when Super Bowls were always blowouts? In the last decade or so, they've been really good games.
I thought the same thing. Nice for those hosting Super Bowl parties.
What's everyone drinking during the game?
Schlafly (a local St. Louis brewery) Pale Ale for me:
Nice, I had some Schlafly's for the first time over the holidays when I was in Wichita. Good stuff.
I'm currently drinking a Bell's Porter.
Oh hell, this Chrysler ad getting me pumped! Detroit baby!
Was damn cool.
Great ad. After so many generic "weird" or "funny" SB ads, nice to see an ad with a little substance to it.
Eminem just won the Super Bowl of kicking ASS.
had no idea he was from Turin.
but I have Frank Zombo still! CMU Chippewa class mate and our homes growing up are only a stones throw from each other!
"Imported from Detroit"
Great slogan!
Is this U-M hospital ad just a local spot? I didn't think they did that during the Super Bowl.
I didn't see it, but did see another local ad.
I'm out of state, and didn't see it. We had a local auto repair shop commercial.
Book it.
Steelers still in it!
Can they get a stop?
But that pitch...ok, that was Pro. Bravo. Play Call & Execution.
Or something, but Big Ben leading a last minute game winning TD drive is NOT how I want this game to end.
Maybe, but at least it's interesting.
Edit: You got your wish.
God I hope this doesn't work out.
Speaking of nice ends...
Here's to hoping for an MVP nod for CW.
Woodson gets his ring. All is well.
He wants it all, and he has it now.
And Charles gets a ring!
Wooooo!!! Woodson gets a ring!
Congrats to Charles!
Nice to see the mgoblog community has its priorities straight.
Matches Manning in Super Bowls, and keeps Big Ben behind Brady in Super Bowls 2-1 to 3-1. And Ben can be MVP for his two picks. The world is good. Crack open a cold one.
And he won Mr. Football in high school.
Defensive player of the year too.
I was rooting for the Steelers today but Charles Woodson deserves this and I couldn't be happier for him. They're just lucky that they didn't have to face the Lions in the playoffs.

I've been in DC for a few years - came for school, stayed for work. I'm an avid traveler like everyone else around here, and have lived abroad a few times. I'm honest and loyal. I love learning new things, exploring, spontaneity, and do well to balance work and play. I prefer most nights in than out (I'm getting old!), but like to get out on the weekends for some fresh air. I enjoy being outdoors - hikes, camping, parks with my dog, kayaking, etc. Some other random facts: I don't like bananas, mushrooms, or coffee. However I do spend too much money at Starbucks. I'm originally from Texas so I appreciate southern charm, but dislike fox news and have no accent. I buy books faster than I read them. I always have carmex chapstick with me. I prefer Macs. I love wine, hate beer. My dog is from Argentina. I can do headstands. Breakfast food is my favorite food. Blue is my favorite color. I've traveled to more countries than states. I'm a big football fan ('gig em) but like futbol and some baseball too. You? Well, you should be awesome, tall, hot, and have a love for dogs! I'm looking for someone that I connect with intellectually, spiritually, and physically. I click best with someone that is goofy and playful, and appreciates witty and sarcastic banter (and can dish it out). It's important that when doing even the most mundane activities, we are having fun. Of course, lots of non-mundane activities together are important too :)

California Dog

http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.

Is it possible to hide the User and Permalink information on the Events page?
yes, have you tried Settings > Formatting > Events?
In the Setting for a single Event page there i can not see an point for the permalink or User information.
I want to hide them in the front-end when a user get a single event page e.g. for a seminar.
in the line is written "This entry was posted in Training by maxmichels. Bookmark the permalink."
Have you tried setting your events page as Page instead of Post at Settings > Pages > Event Pages > Display events as or try to copy your page template in your theme, e.g. page.php and copy/rename it to single-event.php
Thank you!
I changed the post Type to "Page" and now its away :)

2009 release. Produced by The Bakerton Group and J. Robbins at Magpie Cage Studios in Baltimore, Maryland, El Rojo will be the first full-tilt release from this extraordinary Psychedelic instrumental Jazz-laden alter ego of Clutch (all four original Clutch members make up the Bakerton Group). In addition, Per Wiberg from Opeth was brought in to handle all piano, synth and keyboard duties on all 10 of El Rojo's tracks. What inspired Magpie Cage was more than magical, it's a masterwork of epic scope, skillful jams and rolling groove. This release is sure to win over as many Blues, Jazz and Dancehall fans as eclectic Hard Rock Clutch fanatics!

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the key elements of partnerships between the federal government and the private sector that were formed to help the government acquire and operate federal real estate and facilities more efficiently and effectively, focusing on the experiences of six federal partnerships formed by the: (1) National Park Service; (2) Department of Veterans Affairs (VA); and (3) Postal Service (USPS).
GAO noted that: (1) there was a catalyst for change that led each of the three agencies to form a partnership with the private sector; (2) for example, community pressure and fiscal constraints were the catalyst in the two Park Service projects GAO reviewed, in which the Park Service decided to enter into public-private partnerships mainly to obtain partners that could finance needed preservation efforts; (3) for all six projects GAO reviewed, Congress enacted legislation that provided a statutory basis for the agency to enter into the partnership and keep the revenues it received from that partnership; (4) the agencies GAO reviewed also told GAO that they established organizational structures and acquired the necessary expertise to interact with private-sector partners to ensure effective partnership implementation; (5) for example, VA established an Office of Asset and Enterprise Development to promote the partnership concept within VA, design and implement public-private partnership projects, and be a single point of contact with VA's private-sector partners; (6) the office was staffed, VA officials said, with professionals experienced in portfolio management, architecture, civil engineering, and contracting; (7) in all six projects reviewed, asset management officials used business plans or similar documents to make informed decisions and protect the government's interests; (8) according to USPS officials, the development and execution of a business plan, which included information about the division of risks and responsibilities between USPS and its private-sector partner, was critical to its success in implementing its large-scale real estate development projects; (9) for each of the projects reviewed, business plans were drafted jointly between the public- and private-sector parties to help ensure close involvement of both parties in the design and implementation of the project; (10) support from project stakeholders was an important factor in developing and implementing the public-private partnerships; and (11) in all of the projects reviewed, agencies had the support of the local community and other stakeholders to create the partnership.

The Dodd-Frank Act, a 2,300-page behemoth of financial law changes, was signed into law by Pres Obama on Jul 21, 2010. Just last month, the Treasury Department announced in the Federal Register that the designated transfer date on which the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will officially assume jurisdiction over all consumer protection laws is Jul 21, 2011. The target date for publishing the final regulations on mortgage lending reforms is 18 months later, on Jan 21, 2013. Safety and soundness regulators will have little to say about the new agency's regulations and practices. The new agency will not have to go to Congress for funding.

It's better to regret not having kids then having them and regretting it.
"to look back with distress or sorrowful longing; to grieve for on remembering," late 14c., from Old French regreter "long after, bewail, lament someone's death; ask the help of" (Modern French regretter), from re-, intensive prefix (see re-), + -greter, possibly from Frankish or some other Germanic source (cf. Old English grætan "to weep;" Old Norse grata "to weep, groan"), from Proto-Germanic *gretan "weep." "Not found in other Romance languages, and variously explained" [Century Dictionary].

"pain or distress in the mind at something done or left undone," 1530s, from the verb, or from Middle French regret, back-formation from regreter (see regret (v.)).

This little stove really puts out the heat. Takes wood up to 14 inches. I have tried coal and that works well too, but rather use wood.
Short burn time, about six hours max. When it is -10 and below have to get up a few times at night to tend it. This would get real tired if the room being heated was in not a camp. The view window smokes over quickly.
If you have a small area to heat and see one of these babies in good shape for a decent price buy it! Do not listen to the voices that say since it was made in Taiwan it is of poor quality.

Oklahoma governor halts executions while officials review botched lethal injection
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt said he was assigning investigators from his office to help with the review.
Before the execution, Pruitt disputed contentions that drugs for the lethal injection were experimental.
Tuesday was the first time Oklahoma used midazolam, a sedative, as the first element in its execution drug combination. There has been difficulty in getting execution drugs as some pharmaceutical companies have refused to provide them to states to conduct lethal injections.
"Those drugs to be used in the executions of Lockett and Warner — midazolam, vecuronium bromide and potassium chloride — have been used by other states at other times in the lethal injection process," Pruitt said.
Oklahoma was using 100 milligrams of midazolam, while Florida uses five times as much. Pruitt said medical testimony indicates 50 milligrams of the drug was sufficient for patients undergoing neurosurgery.
The Corrections Department will not release any medical details about Lockett's execution until an autopsy and investigation are complete, said spokesman Jerry Massie.
Oklahoma law requires that all executions be accomplished through lethal injection unless this method is found unconstitutional, in which case executions could be done by electrocution, and if that was found unconstitutional, a firing squad could be used. The law could be changed through legislation.
Rep. Aaron Stiles, R-Norman, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said the panel may now look into giving the Corrections Department more options in conducting executions, including the possibility of using a firing squad or the electric chair.
"This has raised enough issues that we should definitely look at not only giving the Department of Correction more options, but maybe giving the defendant options," Stiles said. "We could say 'Here are your three choices. Choose which one you think is the best.'
"It would be difficult to complain if he chooses the option."
Background on cases
A four-time felon, Lockett was convicted of shooting 19-year-old Stephanie Neiman and watching as two accomplices buried her alive in rural Kay County in 1999. Neiman and a friend had interrupted the men as they robbed a home.
Warner had been scheduled to be executed two hours later, in what would have been the first time the state held two executions in one day since 1937. The 46-year-old was convicted of raping and killing his live-in girlfriend's 11-month-old daughter in 1997.
Lockett and Warner had sued the state for refusing to disclose details about the execution drugs, including where Oklahoma obtained them. The case, filed as a civil matter, placed at odds the state's two highest courts, the Oklahoma Supreme Court and the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals.
The state Supreme Court initially granted a temporary stay of execution and then dismissed the stay. Before the dismissal, the governor said the court exceeded its authority and some Oklahoma legislators called for impeachment of court justices.

Native American Pottery
Native American tribes living in the Southwest—in what became Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado—didn't make pottery until around A.D. 100, although they were likely aware of the techniques used in Mexico and South America. As they were nomadic hunters and gatherers, it didn't make sense for them to lug around heavy pots—baskets and weavings were much more practical as lightweight containers.
It was only after the Southwestern indigenous peoples developed techniques for irrigation and began farming their dry homeland that they needed pots for storing grain—these were probably mud-lined baskets. Pottery made for use in sacred ceremonies came next, followed by pieces made for trade with other tribes such as the Navajo.
The interactions between tribes influenced the imagery, shapes, and techniques used in pottery. Between 1100 and 1330, prehistoric pottery-making reached its height of artistry. This pottery, made by the ancient ancestors of modern-day tribes, can be identified by color of the clay: Brown clay is attributed to Mogollon, white or gray to Anasazi (early Pueblo who lived in the Four Corners region), buff to Hohokam and Casa Grandes, red to Salado, and yellow to Sinagua and early Hopi.
Some of the earliest pieces were made by rolling the clay into long snakelike shapes, and then coiling it up from the base until the potter had a finished piece. The Hohokam and Mogollon also used a method that employed a paddle and an anvil to shape the clay into a jar.
Around 1300, the Pueblos were hit with a drought that killed their crops, prompting enemy nomadic tribes to exploit their weakened state and raid their settlements. They never quite recovered. By the time Southwestern Natives were enslaved by Spanish conquistadors around 1600, their pottery was considered pagan and primitive junk by their subjugators. The Native peoples, who were Christianized and schooled in the ways of the Old World, were forced to use tin, glass, or crockery made in Europe.
Once the transcontinental railroad opened the West to the rest of the United States in the late 1800s, Southwestern Native American pottery experienced a revival. Victorian Era tourists found American Indian wares to be exotic and adorable, and wanted to take an authentic piece of pottery home as a conversation piece for their cluttered parlors.
At the same time, the Smithsonian and other institutions went on expeditions to document the ways of American Indians, whom they believed would soon disappear. These scientists g...
That's when the Southwestern Native Americans began making pottery almost exclusively to sell to tourists and non-Indians. At first, the Indians made the same sort of pots they would for themselves—large vessels for grains, created laboriously with attention to detail and lavish decoration. However, Anglo merchants pressured the Native artisans to make smaller objects that could fit neatly into Victorian suitcases. Potters soon realized it was more efficient to make less elaborate work with less concern for perfection.
While purists might dismiss the newer generations of Pueblo pottery, it sparked a revival in a dying art. In fact, many 20th-century potters have devoted themselves to re-creating and expanding upon the techniques and simple styles perfected by their ancestors. As a result, Pueblo pottery made today is of extraordinarily high quality because that's what the market demands. Prehistoric pottery is also available, but it is fraught with risk for collectors, as recent laws have prohibited digging on Native lands.
One of the most common shapes in Southwestern pottery is the olla, which is Spanish for "big jar." Others shapes include the basket, which is a clay bowl with a handle over the top; the bean pot, a deep bowl from Picuris or Taos that's fired at a high temperature so it's safe for cooking; the chili bowl, meant for individual servings; the dough bowl, which is often big enough to knead bread for 12 loaves; a kiva jar, a pot whose stepped shape recalls the steps to a "kiva" or underground ceremonial chamber; the melon jar, which resembles a casaba melon; a storage jar, a grain container that can be two-feet tall; and a seed jar, whose small opening is perfect for shaking out seeds.
Pottery was also made into figural shapes. Effigies are vessels shaped like animals, plants, or humans, while figurines are solid. The term "mono," Spanish for monkey, was used in the 19th century to dismiss figurines made by the Cochiti and Tesuque. One particularly popular figurine with the Victorians was the Tesuque Rain God, which was mass-produced for tourists between the 1890s and 1930s.
In 1964, Helen Cordero, a prominent potter in the Cochiti Pueblo, produced a figurine with little children sitting all over him, as if they were listening to a tale. These "Storyteller" figurines have been widely popular ever since. If the main figurine is a woman, the figure is called "Singing Mother." Tourists are also fond of the double-mouthed wedding vase, supposedly designed so the bride and groom can share a drink, as well as curios shaped like miniature "hornos" or pueblo bread ovens—these were particularly popular in the '60s.
Collectors should always be wary of so-called "ceremonial" jars, bowls, or vessels. While dealers might label a piece "ceremonial" to give it air of mystery, the truth is authentic ceremonial pieces are not meant to be sold and rarely make it onto the market. For example, a "fetish bowl," which is a Zuni pot covered in crushed turquoise with a sidewall hole for inserting carved fetishes, is considered too sacred to be sold. So-called fetish bowls on the market today were probably made by Navajos, who find no spiritual significance in such objects.
It's also good to keep in mind that objects like plates, trivets, and tulip vases didn't exist until Anglo Americans introduced these concepts. A lot of the Native American pottery now sold at souvenir shops is made using a pre-cast mold, which is then beautifully painted in traditional styles. This sort of pottery is known as greenware, and can be identified by bumps or divots on opposite sides of the pot.
While the turn-of-the-century obsession with all things American Indian can be blamed for the proliferation of tacky souvenirs, it also turned many gifted Native American potters into celebrities. Nampeyo, for example, became one of the most celebrated Hopi potters in history—her vast family is still making work in her style today.
María Martinez, a.k.a. Poveka, a celebrated potter of San Ildefonso pueblo, was the first to sign her pottery in the 1920s. Before then, many Indian tribes, like the Acoma, considered it a distasteful show of ego to sign one's work. Other esteemed potters of the 20th century include María's husband, Julian, and son Popovi Da; Margaret Tafoya, Nathan Youngblood, and Joseph Lonewolf of Santa Clara pueblo; the Victorinos of Acoma pueblo; and Hopi potter Antoinette Silas Honie.
San Ildefonso pottery is traditionally black-on-red ware or polychrome on white or grayish clay, featuring geometric designs. Martinez developed a technique to produce black-on-black pottery and also popularized feather and water serpent motifs with her work. Santa Clara pottery tends to be made of undecorated black clay, with fluted rims and a bear-paw design pressed into the pot.
Traditional San Juan potters also preferred plain vessels, but theirs were red. Potters at Taos, Picuris, and Nambe, however, used a brown clay with sparkling fleck of mica, making painted decorations unnecessary. Santo Domingo pottery, with its cream-colored slip and red base, features rich black paint with geometric, animals, or floral motifs, whereas similar Cochiti pottery has clouds, rain, and lightening, as well as human and animal forms that other tribes considered taboo for non-ceremonial pots.
Acoma pottery tends to slipped in white and painted in black, or black plus hues of red. The popular Acoma designs include complicated geometric patterns as well as flowers and birds. Acoma potters Marie Z. Chino and Lucy M. Lewis introduced a revival of prestoric designs including Hohokam flute-playing fertility god Kokopelli, "picture" designs from the Mimbres-region of Mogollan, and the Zuni "deer in his house" motif.
Though influenced by the Zuni, Hopi pottery came into its own in the 1920s, when Nampeyo reintroduced a style used in the ancient Hopi village of Sikyatki. This pottery ranges from orange to cream, depending on how it was fired, after which it's painted with mineral black, reddish orange, and white in asymmetrical designs of birds, feathers, and sometimes katsinas. The Hopi are noted for their small-mouthed squat jars with flattened shoulders.
Other tribes like the Tesuque and Jemez abandoned their traditional pottery styles in favor of brightly colored tourist trinkets using poster paints and acrylics. A good way to identify these pieces is to consider whether the paint color could have actually come from the ground.

Bahrain Telecommunications Co's (Batelco) sale of its stake in Indian affiliate S Tel will help it achieve double-digit profit growth in 2012, the former monopoly said on Wednesday.

On Feb. 8, Batelco announced it would it sell its 43-percent holding in S Tel for $175 million to its Indian partner, the first exit by a foreign operator since an Indian court cancelled 122 telecoms licences last month amid a corruption probe.
Batelco will receive the same price it paid to acquire the S Tel stake in 2009, with the sale expected to be completed in the fourth quarter.
Batelco said this would help offset falling revenue — it forecast "low single digit decline" in 2012 — due to intense competition in Bahrain from rival operators Viva, a unit of Saudi Telecom Co (STC) and Kuwait's Zain.
Batelco's domestic profit was 67.8 million dinars ($180 million) last year, down 21 percent from 2010, while profit at its Jordan unit Umniah rose 15 percent to 13.6 million dinars over the same period.
Its other affiliates, which include Internet providers in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and S Tel, swung to a combined profit of 2.4 million dinars in 2011. This compares to a loss of 7.2 million dinars a year earlier. (Reporting by Matt Smith)
