The color is fantastic. But the application is a bit streaky and gloppy, which is pretty annoying.
Still, once you smooth out the streaks, it's a nice polish.

This is a creme finish in a world famous shade of robin's egg blue in the bottle. However, on my hands it becomes a slightly brighter almost-turquoise. It has the typical ChG formulation (it takes 2-3 coats to get it opaque; I've had my bottle for over a year and it hasn't thickened much) and skinny brush. This is a summer staple for both my fingers and toes that will get you compliments ;)

i don't get what the big deal is honestly. I do like the polish and application was pretty good. The color is a pretty creamy Tiffany blue, i do like it but just don't think its the greatest polish ever or anything.

GORGEOUS color, crap formula that is chippy within a day or two. I will be finding something similar in color, but hopefully better staying power.

I absolutely love this color. It really is Tiffany Blue.
It is a cream polish with a semi-matte finish. It glides on well without being streaky and it is opaque in two coats.
It is hard wearing and chip-free for me.

Nice minty teal color, no shimmer or glitter. Very simple. When I first got it, it went on okay (but somewhat uneven and thick) and needed about 3 coats. It was too much of a hassle to use. After having it for a few months it became even thicker, so much so that it was unusable. Would not buy again.

I stopped biting my nails after almost 15 years of biting just for this nail polish. I'm a sucker for all things Tiffany blue/Breakfast at Tiffany's/Audrey Hepburn, and when first saw this polish I knew I had to have it, and I didn't want to limit it to just my toes! Obviously, I love the color -- spot-on Tiffany box blue with a cream finish. This applies nicely with no streaks and with full opacity in 2 coats. With a base coat and a top coat, this wears for about 5 days on my hands, which is typical of China Glaze for me. Now that my nail polish collection has grown considerably since buying this first bottle, For Audrey remains one of my favorite shades. It looks great whether I'm super pale or super tan, and I never fail to get compliments on this. This is one polish I will never, ever be without!

I bought this fabulous, close-as-you-can-get-to-Tiffany blue off amazon after a sudden, inexplicable desire for owning something (it didn't matter what) that I felt would stand out as being girly and feminine. Obviously, the first thing that came to mind was diamonds, so naturally TIFFANY'S. Since I have diamond aspirations and a cubic zirconium (from Claire's....) financial situation, I decided that having Tiffany blue nails would do the job well enough until I CAN afford Tiffany's diamonds...
I heard that this color as well as Essie's Turquoise & Caicos were as close as I could get, and quite frankly, the Audrey Hepburn reference seemed to be the true testament. I'm not the least bit disappointed.
The color is exactly what I intended, though in some lights, it can look a little on the teal side. One coat (with a few little fixer-uppers, as the beginning of each stroke I took seemed to wipe away a bit of polish and leave streaks) was exactly true to the bottle. I even forgot to put a top coat on for a few hours because it was just so dang pretty as is.
My ONLY gripe is that it seems to really show any ridges in my nails (even though I have basecoat on - Rimmel's base/top coat). It's probable that a second coat would remedy that, but I'm not going to have time tomorrow to do so until the evening, so if I remember to, I'll add an edit and let you guys know if that turned out alright!
Edit: I added a second coat as I thought I would, but now I have a second, more serious gripe. When adding a second coat, the formula of this polish gums up QUICKLY and makes it extremely difficult to do touch ups if it didn't go on evenly, or if you got a nick somehow while doing the second coat. I've had to redo one thumb twice, and the opposite ring finger once. The one time I tried to just fix a minor bump on the thumb, I got a goopy, uneven, way too thick third layer and had to COMPLETELY wipe off all polish on that nail with a cotton ball and remover and start all over again.... I wish I could pull back half a star, because this definitely was an irritating polish experience, though I still do adore the color. Irritated, yet not deterred, I now have two even (though slightly thick) coats of Tiffany blue on my nails....

China smart grid playbook: Should we steal a page or two?
By: SGN Staff
Editor's note: This is the first in a series of Smart Grid News playbooks focused on smart grid development around the world.
By Liz Enbysk
SGN Managing Editor
Just how big is the China smart grid market? Research firm Zpryme predicts its value will grow from $22.3 billion in 2011 to a whopping $61.4 billion in 2015, with the biggest chunk of that in transmission and distribution. But China is also topping the charts in renewable energy, particularly wind. And a new study financed by the World Bank has China emerging as an important test bed for electrical vehicle innovation. Smart meters? One report we saw suggests China's installed base of smart meters could reach a quarter of a billion by 2020.
But China leads in other ways too:
With its population of 1.3 billion and its energy-guzzling manufacturing industry, China now consumes more energy than any other nation, accounting for more than a fifth of the world's energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. - New York Times
So no surprise that China's seemingly insatiable demand for power combined with a smart-grid-on-steroids profile has attracted the interest from the investor and vendor communities. In just the last couple of months we've told you that:
· Accel Partners, a VC firm behind investments like Facebook and Groupon, plans to raise $1 billion for two China funds, one for early-stage investments and the other for later-stage opportunities.
· Honeywell will develop and implement China's first demand response pilot and feasibility study for managing energy use in commercial buildings.
· Duke Energy and China-based ENN Group will work jointly to develop the technologies needed to build smart cities in China and the U.S.
· State Grid Corporation of China, the Chinese Academy of Science and GE will work together to develop standards for China's monster smart grid rollout.
And that's just a drop in the bucket. Name a major player in the smart grid space and chances are they have a presence in China or will soon.
China smart grid projects at a glance
Here's a look at a few of the smart grid related initiatives currently under way in China.
Transmission upgrades. A Duke University smart grid research report excerpted on SGN earlier this week noted China's innovative technologies, particularly in high-voltage transmission. In February, State Grid Corporation of China's Ningdong-Shandong 660 kV HVDC connection was inaugurated - the first 660 kV direct current power transmission link in the world, according to Alstom Grid, which partnered on the project. Just recently Alstom Grid opened an R&D and testing center in Shanghai to further Ultra High Voltage Alternating Current (UHVAC) and Ultra High Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) transmission equipment and energy management solutions. The company wants to help China move to the highest voltages, 1,200kV in alternating current and 1,100kV in direct current, by 2020 which is the completion target for three major transmission lines, each with 20 GW of transmission capacity.
Wind power development. The transmission upgrades described above can't come soon enough for China's wind industry. Its ranking as world leader in wind power generation has a downside, which is not enough transmission capacity to handle it. A report by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission indicates more than half of the electricity generated by wind farms in China last year ended up unused.
State Grid is trying to reduce the bottleneck with transmission upgrades, hoping by 2015 to have the infrastructure in place to accommodate the growth in wind power and pull in more solar and hydro power as well.
80 million smart meters. China's Twelfth Five Year Plan calls for 80 million smart meters in homes by 2015 and smart metering across the commercial/industrial sector as well. A GCiS China Strategic Research study notes that factoring in replacement purchases, the installed base could be over a quarter of a billion smart meters by 2020. However, both financial and production pressures to meet that kind of intense growth are leading to concern that meter accuracy and lifespan may be compromised.
TianjinEco-City. With China's rapid urbanization and the government's desire to reduce carbon emissions there's a push to build better cities. Tianjin Eco-City, roughly 150 kilometers away from Beijing, is an attempt to develop a perfect city from scratch. The goal is to make it the greenest metropolis in existence, according to the Financial Post, and it will be powered by China's first smart grid, getting about 20% of its energy from renewable sources if everything goes according to plan. The first wave of people is expected to move into the city later this year, although it could be 10 to 15 years before the eco-city is fully developed.
Ten Cities, Thousand Vehicles. In 2009 China launched a program to promote electric vehicle development. What started with 10 cities has spread to 25 across the mainland. The Chinese government recently upped the ante with a $15 billion investment. However, according to the World Bank report prepared by management consulting firm PRTM, China's EV focus so far has been on fleet vehicles like buses and taxis and there's much work to do to develop a charging infrastructure to accommodate private cars.

Sprint (
) primarily competes with Verizon (
) and AT&T (
) in the mobile business. Mobile internet constitutes 40% of our
estimated stock value for Sprint, roughly equivalent to the 43%
contribution from mobile phones and plans.
We maintain a
price estimate of $4.35 for Sprint
, in line with market value.
2011 - 4G Product Launches on the Horizon
While Sprint has been expanding its 4G coverage, it has also
been launching devices that can take advantage of this faster
network and promote a better data usage experience for customers.
HTC EVO 4G and Samsung Epic 4G have been two such successes for the
Sprint recently announced a 2011 target for launch of tablets
capable of connecting to its 4G high-speed wireless network. The
move could produce upside to Sprint's recorded revenue per
subscriber, as new subscribers join Sprint's network and existing
subscribers add premium high-speed data plans to their service.
Upside to Sprint's Data Revenues
We currently project an increase in Sprint's monthly internet
and SMS revenue per subscriber from $15 in 2010 to $17 by 2013,
with a similar increase expected through 2016. Comparatively, when
Sprint began selling Samsung's Galaxy tablet in November, data
plans were offered at monthly rates between $30 and $60.
Using these rates as a proxy for 4G tablet data plans in 2011,
we note that a higher mix of tablet sales in the years ahead could
drive Sprint's recorded internet and SMS revenues per subscriber
beyond our base estimates. Further, since we define subscribers on
a per person basis (rather than per device), the likely trend of
existing customers adding tablet data plans to their service could
create even greater upside to this metric.
Drag the trend-line in the chart above to assess the impact
of changes in Sprint's internet and SMS revenue per subscriber on
the company's stock value.
A 20% increase in internet and SMS revenue per subscriber beyond
our estimates by 2013 could add about 17% upside to
our current $4.35 price estimate
Data revenues are primarily driven by smartphone usage, but the
growing popularity of tablets has incentivized many mobile carriers
to add these to their arsenal. While Sprint has benefited from
improved smartphone selection, the company is now emphasizing the
release of 4G compatible devices and placing its bet that 4G WiMax
will not only drive better data usage growth, but also spark a
turnaround in subscriber losses.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 4/30/13
Las Vegas 9, Reno 5 D.J. Mitchell's last start was marred by bouts of wildness, but tonight's outing was much better, as he did not allow a run over the first five innings. He dodged in, and out of trouble a few times, including a bases loaded no out jam in the second inning. After two singles and a walk, Mitchell buckled down and got a pop out, strikeout, and a ground out to end the inning. He ran into trouble again in the sixth inning, and was eventually lifted in favor of Sean Henn. The bullpen struggled once again, and Greg Peavey was the main culprit tonight. Peavey, allowed three runs to score in the seventh, and what was a 9-0 lead heading into the sixth, quickly became 9-5 through eight. Justin Hampson came in and pitched a spotless ninth to shut the door. On offense, Andrew Brown and Wilmer Flores once again led the way. Brown tallied two more RBI, added a double and a triple, and leads the 51s with 21 RBI and a .360 batting average. Flores also had two hits, including a d...

From Screamscape:
(12/8/06) While I have yet to see any images of the new Vision Plan for Universal Studios Hollywood, it seems that the plan will call for Norman Bates famous Psycho House and the Bates Motel to be removed to make way for the 124 acre Universal Village residential project. Other famous studio tour icons that would be placed in front of the bulldozers would be the War of the Worlds disaster scene, Colonial Street and European Street. The Universal Village project would replace all these with 2,900 new apartments, lofts and town-homes, as well as 35 acres of hiking trails and parks that I assume will be the buffer area between it and the studios. If it seems like the development plan is a little lopsided, it is. While Universal seems happy to give up nearly 125 acres of their studio backlot property that is closest to the more vocal and troublesome neighbors on the hillside, the reported 80,000 square foot expansion of the theme park itself translates to a pathetic 1.83 acres. As a direct comparison, Splash Mountain at Disneyland is said to take up 2.3 acres of space by itself.
A final thought about the Universal Village site... this article raises one great question. Whoever gets to build a new home on the site of the former Psycho house, will they ever take showers?


text:
i know my question seems very similar to others according to a buffer-clear issue... but here is a detailed description:
I have an motorolla handheld (bar-code scanner) which is reading barcodes over an tray tool. The code is scanned by the traytool und is casted as an keystroke like a normal press on a key on a keyboard.
so i have an app in vb which should read a barcode and after that a second and than proceed the inputs.
after reading 12 chars/numbers my textfield should set the focus to an other textfield (2. barcode) so i check onChange the length and than set the focus to the next textfield.
if there is a malicous barcode or a barcode which contains more than 12 characters/numbers the second textfield will be filled with all chars after the 12. char from textfield 1.
i have no control over the scan behaviour or the keydown event of the scanner trigger... nothing possible. also there is no termination symbol in the input data which signals me that one block is ending here.
so how is it possible to clear the buffer of the virtual keyboard of the scanner ?! any suggestions?

Discussing President Obama's forthcoming State of the Union address, Fox & Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson said it's "surprising" and "Republin-esque" [sic] that Obama is reportedly planning to talk about tax cuts for small businesses. But the stimulus bill that Obama signed last year included tax cuts and incentives for small businesses, as did his proposed fiscal year 2010 budget, and he recently proposed another round of tax incentives for businesses to hire employees.

Right-wing pundits are pointing to Martha Coakley's loss in the Massachusetts Senate race as evidence that President Obama and congressional Democrats should move to govern from the center, despite the fact that exit polls show that the Massachusetts election was not a referendum on Obama.

In recent weeks, Fox News has continued its pattern of engaging in political advocacy, this time supporting Scott Brown, the Republican nominee in the special election for the Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat. Fox has hosted Brown several times, providing him a forum to raise funds; Dick Morris has explicitly asked viewers to go to his website to help elect Brown. Fox media figures have distorted Democratic nominee Martha Coakley's statements and suggested Democrats may steal the election; and Fox News has suggested that a Brown victory would provide economic benefits.
On January 15, Fox & Friends misrepresented the details of the recent health care negotiation relating to proposals to taxing high-cost "Cadillac" health care plans by falsely claiming that the proposal to "eliminate from any taxing dental and vision" policies applied only to union members, and Fox & Friends repeatedly claimed that the concessions won during the negotations were "a bribe" to unions. In fact, most of the negotiations, including the dental and vision exemptions, apply to all workers -- not just union workers -- and the extension given to union members regarding the implementation of the excise tax was reportedly made in order to allow unions time to negotiate less expensive plans for their workers.
On January 15, Fox & Friends falsely reported that President Obama promoted "a 15 percent tax on the banks" for the purpose of recouping taxpayer losses resulting from Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) investments. In fact, the fee Obama proposed would be "assessed at approximately 15 basis points (0.15 percent) of covered liabilities per year" for financial companies with more than $50 billion in assets.
Tuesday, Sarah Palin made her Fox News debut, where she, as Simon Maloy has pointed out, basically got paid by Fox News to give an infomercial about herself. The Fox News community has expressed nothing but glee over Palin's appearance, with Fox Nation going so far as to declare that Palin was "on Fire in Fox News Debut." Fox & Friends spent a good chunk of their show yesterday discussing Palin's appearance and her "common sense conservatism," but there was one part of Palin's interview that really struck a chord with them -- when she declared that the negative stories about her in the recently released book on the 2008 elections, Game Change, were "a bunch of B.S."
During the interview, Bill O'Reilly gave Palin the opportunity to respond to several anecdotes in the book, including that she didn't "know the difference between North and South Korea"; that she "thought Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11"; and that she "didn't know why" her son was being deployed to Iraq. Palin dismissed most of these claims as "crap"; "lie[s]," and "B.S." (except for Saddam's ties to 9/11--she had "questions" about that). Palin said "these reporters were not there, adding, "I don't think I've -- that I've ever met these guys. They didn't interview me for the book."
Palin's declaration seemed to blow the Fox & Friends crew's minds, and they immediately took up Palin's cause. Gretchen Carlson said of Palin's self-defense: "It's a really interesting point, actually, that the reporters were not there. So they're depending on people allegedly who were there to give them the story. How do they know they're telling the truth?"
Apparently it had not previously occurred to Carlson that the book's sources could be less than reliable. Prior to Palin's remarks, Fox & Friends had spent a considerable amount of time breathlessly reporting on numerous thinly sourced rumors that appear in Game Change with nary a hint of skepticism ...so long as the rumors related to Democratic politicians, of course.
For instance, on Monday, Steve Doocy reported that the book's authors, Mark Halperin and John Heilmann, "have gotten all of the juicy stuff from behind the scenes during the run for the presidency" and described as a "fact" that "candidate Obama's own political team, some staff members would refer to the candidate as the black Jesus." Brian Kilmeade went on to report that then-Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign staff "lost confidence" in her after her "bizarre reaction to her loss in Iowa," adding that Clinton thought that Obama's past drug use "should have been in play. And Bill Clinton, her own staff did a background check to find out about rumors about him having relationships with other women and they found one, a long-term one in 2006 and they set up in there their own war room on just Bill Clinton." Can't you hear the skepticism in their reporting?
Or how about yesterday, when, in its first news segment of the show, Kilmeade declared: "No one is looking at this book and saying, 'You lie.' You're looking at this book and saying 'I can't believe everybody knows this story.'" For her part, Carlson said of the book's reporting on the Clinton campaign: "[S]ome are saying...because one of the leading sources in this book was somebody directly on the inside of Hillary's campaign, so there really is no disputing the facts. Although that hasn't really stopped anyone before from disputing the facts." Yesterday Fox & Friends reported with hardly a whiff of disbelief that former President Bill Clinton accused Sen. Ted Kennedy of only "endorsing" Obama "because he's black"; that Bill Clinton said "a few years ago" Obama "would have been getting us coffee"; that when Obama was Senator he was of the opinion that Biden was "absolutely the most condescending U.S. Senator towards him"; that Bill Clinton was alleged to have been engaged in an extramarital affair; that Hillary Clinton wanted to push stories that Obama was a drug dealer; and that in the book, the Edwards family was "laid bare," by "eye-open[ing]" revelations.
I'd be inclined to give the Fox & Friends team the benefit of the doubt that they never thought to question the validity of the claims made in Game Change before their idol Palin complained about it, if they had immediately stopped treating the book's stories as fact. Sadly, that was not the case. After Carlson questioned "how" one could know if Heilmann and Halperin's sources were true because the "reporters were not there," Fox & Friends later reported on the book's description of Elizabeth Edwards as "a crazy woman" without a question as to the accuracy of the book's anecdotes. The on-screen text during that segment was, "A Marriage in Turmoil? Book Paints Negative Picture of Edwards." Clearly, they must believe that as long as the story isn't a negative one about Palin, then it must be true.
Take a look at Fox & Friends selective skepticism of Game Change's reporting:

Fox & Friends repeatedly attacked Martha Coakley, Democratic Senate candidate for Massachusetts, for saying there are no "terrorists" in Afghanistan, and at one point falsely claimed she said the "Taliban" is "no longer a threat." But the context of Coakley's comments makes clear that when she said "terrorists," she was specifically referring to Al Qaeda, not the Taliban, and indeed, her comments are similar to military experts' statements that Al Qaeda's presence is diminished in Afghanistan.

Responding to Sen. Harry Reid's recently reported controversial comments about President Obama, numerous conservative media figures have accused Democrats of having a "double standard" regarding racially insensitive remarks made by Republicans, specifically citing the outrage over former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott's past comments in support of Strom Thurmond's 1948 segregationist presidential campaign. But others -- including NPR's Cokie Roberts, Rev. Al Sharpton, and NAACP's Hilary Shelton -- have argued that the two comments are not comparable, because Reid was praising an African-American's advancement, whereas Lott was expressing support for a segregationist.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano, who has been on leave since Sept 26 when it was discovered he has leukemia, might return to the team for its final regular-season game on Dec. 30 against Houston. Pagano is finished with chemotherapy sessions, and whether he can return to the sidelines depends on how he rebounds from the treatment. According to ESPN.com, Dr. Larry Cripe of Indiana University Health Simon Cancer Center told Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star, "Medically, I think it's very possible (Pagano could return Dec. 30), and I think the coach will make the decision about how he's feeling and whether he's up to the task. Then, the organization will make a decision. "It's feasible. It's possible. Is it definite? No. I definitely think that's where we're heading and we have our fingers crossed that things go well and he's able to do it." Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians has been the acting head coach in Pagano's absence, and the Colts are 7-2 under Arian...

Toro de fuego
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A toro de fuego ("fire bull"), also known as vaca loca ("crazy cow") in Peru and Ecuador, is a festive activity in which a bull-resembling metal frame, with fireworks attached to it, is set alight, and then a person carrying the frame runs around town at night as if chasing people in the streets. Participants dodge the bull-frame when it comes close, especially because the burning fireworks set off sparks that can cause small burns in people's skin or clothes. This activity is held in a number of Spanish towns during their local festivals. It is possible that this custom originated in the Toro embolado, in which a real bull is involved.

This elective will focus on federal criminal practice with an emphasis on both substantive federal criminal law and procedure and the development of oral advocacy skills. The curriculum will revolve around taking the students through one criminal case in federal court from start to finish, with opportunities for hands-on training at numerous points during the semester. While the course will focus on federal law and practice, many of the concepts will apply equally to students who end up working on criminal cases in state court.

reduce the size of the labor force) contribute to imbalances in the Social Security program.
Figure 9-1 presents 2011 estimates from the Social Security Administration on the future of the program. Under the intermediate estimates, the retirement of the baby boom generation raises costs by about 25 percent, from almost 5 percent of GDP in 2010 to about 6 percent of GDP by 2030, while program revenues rise a little, on net, over this period.3
The traditional method used by the Social Security actuaries to portray the uncertainty in their analyses is to provide three alternative sets of assumptions: (1) the intermediate, baseline assumption; (2) a low-cost assumption, which assumes that life expectancy and unemployment are lower and fertility and productivity are higher than in the baseline case; and (3) a high-cost assumption, which makes the opposite assumptions. The actual outcome for future costs is very unlikely to be as extreme as either of the last two outcomes. According to the Social Security Trustees, these high-and low-cost projections correspond very closely to a 95 percent probability interval, meaning that there is only a 5 percent chance that the actual experience will be more extreme than represented by these two projections. Yet, even under these assumptions, the range of uncertainty is not that large over the next 20 years. For example, under the low-cost scenario, by 2030, Social Security expenditures will have increased only a little, to about 5.5 percent of GDP, while under the high-cost scenario, expenditures are closer to 7 percent of GDP. Revenues are fairly stable over this time period for both these scenarios.
The Medicare program provides health insurance to Americans aged 65 and over, as well as to certain disabled Americans younger than 65. The Medicare program shares some features with Social Security. In particular, it finances a large share of elderly consumption, its benefits accrue predominantly to the elderly, and much of the financing comes from taxes on current workers.4 However, the effect of aging on Medicare expenditures and revenues is more complicated than its effect on Social Security. Because Medicare provides health services rather than cash, the expenditures depend
3This chapter utilizes projections of spending from the Social Security and Medicare Trustees and from the Congressional Budget Office. These projections are based on different demographic assumptions than those presented in Chapter 3.
4According to the Congressional Budget Office (2011), in 2010 about 35 percent of Medicare spending was financed by the payroll tax, about 12 percent by beneficiaries' premiums, almost 40 percent through general revenues, and the remainder through various other sources, including income taxes on high-earning Social Security beneficiaries.

The grip is phenomenal. With all that torque and traction, it never slips once. Unlike a regular car, it's hard to feel what's going on beneath you, as the wheels are so far back and the suspension keeps the pod so level. As you descend into a crater and lean into your seatbelt, you'd swear you're about to nose straight into the ground. But the short overhangs and high ground clearance stop you scuffing the rocks, and the all-wheel-drive system hauls you up the other side with little effort. What they've built here is the world's ultimate off-roader. Perhaps the best in the universe. Well, until ET makes contact and shows us his.

Bill Update
Legislative Resources
Political Action
As the pieces continue to come together following the unthinkable events that unfolded Friday morning in Newtown, Connecticut, we wanted to update you on NEA's efforts to provide support to the families and educators who were most deeply affected by the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
We are so grateful for the many calls, emails and offers to assist those in Newtown and calls for a more public campaign around the issues that contributed to this tragedy. The Association is already engaged in conversations with state and local leaders of both NEA and AFT on a formal response to the shooting, but we are also mindful of the heartbreaking task that lies before the 26 families who were affected by the tragedy. That is why we are first and foremost this week dedicated to giving each family the time, space and support they need to grieve their loved ones and take the first tentative steps toward healing.
The time for public action will come, but first we must allow them time to grieve.
In the meantime, NEA has already taken steps to support our colleagues and their community in Newtown. Immediately following the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, we reached out to AFT—the union that represents the school's employees and offered our support in any way that we can for their members. We are grateful to the Connecticut Education Association, which is providing AFT with office space from which to help their members. Over the weekend, staff from NEA's Health Information Network crisis team traveled to Newtown to offer guidance and counsel on how to provide the resources and support for those who were most deeply affected. The team that responded was one of our most experienced teams of crisis counselors having most recently supported our own members through the school shooting in Chardon, Ohio. This team will be on the ground immediately after the holidays to provide training, crisis counseling and support for AFT and NEA members in the region.
CEA is also focused on providing essential services throughout the area and is funneling much needed support for families as students prepare to re-enter the classroom in a nearby district. They are also this week anticipating the funerals of the educators and students who lost their lives. Victoria Soto will be the first educator to be memorialized. Her service will be held Wednesday. The New York Times,<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/15/nyregion/sandy-hook-principal-and-school-psychologist-went-the-extra-mile.html?smid=tw-share&_r=2&> The Examiner<http://www.examiner.com/article/i-just-want-christmas>, and the Hartford Courant<http://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-timeline-newtown-shooting-1216-20121215,0,1878564.story> each wrote about her heroism and the heroic acts of other Sandy Hook employees who placed themselves in the line of fire to protect their students. CEA provides more information on local efforts on their website at www.cea.org<http://www.cea.org>.
NEA members, parents and the community will be able to send condolence messages to the Newtown community via an NEA webpage that will be available this week at www.nea.org/safeschools<http://www.nea.org/safeschools>. The page also links to resources from the HIN Crisis Tool Kit and other content that will be helpful to educators, parents and others as they address the crisis with children.
Today, as we do all that we can do to help their families heal, we will mourn the senseless deaths of Sandy Hook's children and the educators whose devotion to their students, and their profession, make us all very proud. Tomorrow, when the time is right, we will take action to ensure this kind of tragedy never happens again.

Create an uptown lady with a porcelain-like face and polymer clay.
By Lisa Galvin, CCD, CPD for AMACO
- AMACO® Porcelain-Like Face — Item No. 14143F
- FIMO® Soft Polymer Clay — 2 oz blocks: Indian Red (#24), Plum (#63), and Black (#09)
- AMACO® PolyRoller, Acrylic Roller for Clay (or AMACO® Pasta Machine)
- AMACO® Flexible PolyBlade
- FIMO® Gloss Lacquer
- 1" Pin Back
- E6000 Glue
- Freezer Paper
- Masking Tape
- Toothpick
- Baking Sheet Dedicated to Polymer Clay Use
- Home Oven or Dedicated Toaster Oven
- Index Card
- Preheat oven to 265°F (130°C). Cover work area with freezer paper. Tape corners down. Knead a 1 oz block of both Red and Plum clay to condition. Roll each color to create thin clay sheets, approximately 1/16"-1/8" thick.
- HAT: Use blade to cut a 1/2" x 1" strip of Indian Red FIMO® Soft. Lightly press clay onto top of head to create a scull or "swim" cap that will become top of hat. Wrap ends to backside.
- BRIM: Knead remaining Red clay and then roll onto a solid surface with palms; creating a rope slightly smaller than a pencil in thickness. Cut a 11/2" length, center, and then drape the rope across bottom of the clay scull cap, allowing excess to extend at side edges. Lightly press to join. Use fingers and thumbs to pinch rope; shaping to create hat brim. Cut excess if needed.
- SCARF: From rolled sheet, cut an approximate 1/2" x 3" strip of Plum FIMO® Soft. Trim ends to create angled tips of scarf. Position on back side of neck then wrap to front; crossing to resemble a scarf. Press lightly to ensure good contact between clay and the porcelain-like face. Shape as you like.
- HAIR: Knead a dime size ball of Black FIMO® Soft. Roll with palms to create a thin rope. Working with a little at a time; press small pieces of the rope onto the porcelain-like face; creating hair. Use a toothpick to press the clay firmly in place and to form "hair" lines; shaping and styling as you like.
- Trim excess clay from back of head (if needed); smoothing with fingers to taper side edges. Place onto an index card. Bake on a baking sheet for approximately 40 minutes. Let cool.
- Brush with FIMO® Gloss Lacquer. Let dry. Glue on pin back. For best results allow glue to set overnight before use.

Adorable.! I just went to a wedding with and Oriental Theme. They had made faces of sort and put them on a chain draped around a small glass vase with a ribbon under it with the name of the bride and groom. Then the glass was filled with small candies put in a lacy tie up that fit inside the glass with a small rose on the top. SO CUTE!! I thought this would be cute for the Group my sister belongs to. Red Hat ladies that have lunch once a month. They all wear Red and Purple. Thanks so much for showing how these can be made. GrandmaJoyce Shasta Lake, CA

The oceans are warming and we're running out of oil to power our homes and cars. If humans maintain their "business as usual" attitude, the Earth will become a pretty harsh place to live over the next 20 years.
That's why a recent NASA discovery of over 50 new planets that could support life is a particularly bright spot in the otherwise gloomy forecast for the human race.
On Wednesday, NASA scientists reported that "the Kepler mission has discovered 1,235 possible planets, including 54 in the 'Goldilocks range' — just far enough from their stars to be neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water" (LA Times).
"The fact that we've found so many planet candidates in such a tiny fraction of the sky suggests there are countless planets orbiting sun-like stars in our galaxy," said William Borucki of NASA's Ames Research Center, the mission's science principal investigator. "We went from zero to 68 Earth-sized planet candidates and zero to 54 candidates in the habitable zone, some of which could have moons with liquid water."
The Kepler mission was specially designed to survey a portion of our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover dozens of Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone and determine how many of the billions of stars in our galaxy have such planets.
"In one generation we have gone from extraterrestrial planets being a mainstay of science fiction, to the present, where Kepler has helped turn science fiction into today's reality," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden.
Kepler, a space telescope, looks for planet signatures by measuring tiny decreases in the brightness of stars caused by planets crossing in front of them. This is known as a transit.
Since transits of planets in the habitable zone of sun-like stars occur about once a year and require three transits for verification, it is expected to take three years to locate and verify Earth-size planets orbiting sun-like stars.
Learn more about the Kepler's search for habitable planets here.

Great!! So humans can start their assault on those ones too...
Reality check:
The technology that would be required to survive extended space travel, let alone reach ANY planet outside our solar system would have to be so advanced that our space ships would BE their own miniature worlds.
I think it's far more likely that once we begin exploring the stars that planets will act more as locations where we can stop for a visit, but we'll be living on our "planet ships" full time.
This is definitely something to think about. I think that, even if we do get our population under control, there's still the desire to explore the stars, and part of that is finding inhabitable planets. There's also the possibility of space colonies, too.
Am I the only one that feels like we're on the cusp of something amazing?
I'll go....
Its not over population. Mismanagement.
I have signed the petition at http://www.millionforabillion.com/ and I encourage everyone to sign.
The petition aims to boost U.S. and international funding for family planning and reproductive health care, which can help to combat poverty and help the environment. Please consider forwarding this petition to friends!
I agree with Brian M that humanity should restrain its numbers and demands on nature. We should plan to avoid crises. Population, pollution and overconsumption are major issues.
Interesting - but let us not give up on this planet just yet!
And as soon as man would get to a new planet, he would destroy it too ...
No matter planets in our galaxy support life, the only planet we have is this one. If we don't properly manage our population size and our resources as well as reduce our pollution, then our species will go extinct.

Islanders women get Ladyjacked, fall to 0-7
CORPUS CHRISTI - Cheyenne Berry was overlooked by the Islanders a year ago, then again earlier this week. Chance are, it won't happen again.
The 5-foot-9 freshman from Lytle was averaging less than three points a game at Stephen F. Austin and ranked 10th among the team's 12 players in scoring when the Ladyjacks visited the American Bank Center on Saturday to take on Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
It has been a far cry from the 28 points she averaged her senior year in high school, after a junior campaign in which she was named to the first of two consecutive Class 3A all-state teams, along with current Islanders sophomore Jessica Jammer and former West Oso standout Chandace Tryon.
On Saturday, with a dozen friends and family members in town to watch her perform, Berry set the nets afire, hitting seven 3-pointers for 21 points as SFA sent the Islanders to their seventh consecutive conference loss, 90-64.
"Coming off a big win against (Southland West leader) Sam Houston, that was a big accomplishment and we had a lot of momentum," Berry said. "I had a totally different mindset. I had a free mind, kept having fun and they were falling."
The Ladyjacks (7-12, 4-2 in Southland Conference play) bested numerous season highs — in points (previously 67), steals (they had 21 on Saturday, more than doubling their previous high of nine), field goal percentage, assists, field goals (both attempted and made), and 3-pointers (both attempted and made).
Headed into the game, Berry was a 19-percent 3-point shooter, hitting 10 of 51 attempts. On Saturday, she nearly doubled her collegiate output, hitting 7 of 8 attempts from beyond the arc, including her first six shots.
"I didn't even realize they were 3's," Berry said. "I was just putting up shots. It helped that my teammates were behind me, and they were really getting into it."
UTSA and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi arrived too late in the recruiting game last year for Berry, who had already signed with the Ladyjacks when the Islanders came calling. Her 21 points Saturday tied her team's season-high, and her seven 3-pointers more than doubled the team's season best.
On the other end of the floor, the Islanders (2-18, 0-7) were having enough trouble simply getting to the basket. A&M-CC committed 31 turnovers, which the Ladyjacks converted for 45 points — half their total.
"We knew we were going to see some heavy pressure, and our guards had to handle the ball well," Islanders coach Robert Robinson said. "With the turnovers on our end, we had to do a better job of getting into an offense and getting some movement. I thought at times we did a decent job at that, but when the point guard picks up the dribble it puts us in bad situations, and it seems like that happened more often than not."
SFA built a 13-point lead by halftime, scoring nearly half of its 44 points off Islander turnovers.
The conference's second-leading scorer, Tammara Marion, had just four points by halftime and finished with nine only after hitting a 3-pointer with two minutes left in the game.
Coming out of the first media timeout five minutes in, Decreasha Goodner hit a layup and Berry hit the team's first two 3-pointers for a 18-9 lead.
A 9-1 Islanders run cut the lead to a single point three minutes later, and the team trailed by just two with 5:42 to play but committed six turnovers in as many minutes, and SFA finished the half on a 10-2 run over the final 2 ½ minutes.
"We had to match their intensity from the beginning, and that kind of got away from us," Robinson said. "We had too many turnovers in the beginning, and gave up too many offensive rebounds, and it only got worse the second half."
In contrast to Wednesday's game, when the Islanders erased a double-digit deficit before taking Texas State into overtime and eventually losing on a pair of last-second free throws, A&M-CC never got closer than 11 points in the second half Saturday.
"Our confidence really got taken away from us the other night against Texas State," Robinson said. "That was my biggest concern coming into this one, was did we have anything left in the tank? And there were some times today I thought we did."
Jammer and Adrienne Scott, who had a career-high 23 points Wednesday against the Bobcats, led the Islanders with 12 points apiece, and Ashley Darley had 11. Zoey Vega-Vega came off the bench to lead the team with nine rebounds in 20 minutes.
SFA (7-12, 4-2) — Cheyenne Berry 7-10 0-0 21, Jordan Ford 8-15 4-6 20, Decreasha Goodner 4-8 0-0 9, Tammara Marion 4-10 0-0 9, Chelsea Foy 3-3 0-0 8, Courtney Conwright 2-6 1-2 6, Chantol Drennan 3-6 0-2 6, Amina Sawyer 2-5 1-1 5, Ebony Alexander 1-4 0-0 2, Antoinette Davis 0-4 2-2 2, Brittany Hardy 1-2 0-0 2, Totals 35-73 8-13 90.
A&M-CC (2-18, 0-7) — Jessica Jammer 3-9 5-6 12, Adrienne Scott 3-9 6-8 12, Ashley Darley 5-8 0-0 11, Zoey Vega-Vega 4-9 0-0 8, Taryn Gregory 3-7 0-0 7, Anitra Jeffery 3-4 0-0 6, Breann McMillan 3-6 0-0 6, Imani Dunn 0-0 2-2 2, Jade Davis 0-4 0-0 0. Totals 24-56 13-16 64.
3-point goals: SFA 12-19 (Berry 7-9, Foy 2-2, Conwright 1-2, Goodner 1-3, Marion 1-3), A&M-CC 3-9 (Darley 1-1, Gregory 1-2, Jammer 1-2, McMillan 0-1). Rebounds – SFA 30 (Ford 9), A&M-CC 43 (Vega-Vega 9). Assists – SFA 20 (Alexander 9), A&M-CC 9 (Gregory 2, Vega-Vega 2). Total fouls – SFA 15, A&M-CC 11. Fouled out – none. A – 1,261.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. The son of Oni Juuma, a powerful Yakuza crime boss, Hirohito was taught the family business at a young age by his father after his mothers death. After moving to the United States, his father was captured and arrested by the Green Hornet. Before his father's death in prison, he was named head of the family. Hirohito did not follow in his father's criminal footsteps, being too closely watched by international agencies. He instead started a video game company called Juumasan Games, quickly making a fortune off of violent video games. He also hired his siblings Katsuko and Kenji, but still only confided in the family advisor Hayoto. He began preparing to restore his family honor and achieve his vengeance against the 'killers' of his father - the Green Hornet and Kato. Using 3-D simulations to train himself to battle them, he finally left for Japan to find Kato, whose identity was public. Entering Kato's home, Hirohito found only Kato's wife Sayomi, whom he killed quickly and painlessly. He was even able to defeat Kato in combat due to Kato's rage, but was forced to escape when the authorities arrived. He grew obsessed with vengeance and soon had his laboratories develop him a costume and weaponry similar to the Green Hornet's. He then used the identity to kill all the other Yakuza bosses in Japan as the Black Hornet. After a deal with Mayor Scanlon of Century City, Hirohito again took the guise of the Black Hornet to put the mayor ahead in the race for his re-election. The Black Hornet went to his campaign party and killed the original Green Hornet - Britt Reid. Through the deal, it was also revealed that Hirohito's father was in fact still alive and freed from prison. His father wished to continue with his weath and power, content at the death of their enemy. Hirohito was still not satisfied, as he knew Brit's namesake had taken over the mantle of his father.
