Four Hawks Hit For Double Digits Against D'Youville
- Release Date:
- February 10, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Buffalo, NY - Hannah Norton's game highs (14 points/13 rebounds) led D'Youville in a 72-44 win over the visiting Hawks from Hilbert College (0-15, 1-20) February 9. Sophomore Amber Grosch (Depew, NY/Depew) shared game-highs for the Hawks with Julie Bossard (Arkport, NY/Canisteo-Greenwood) as each netted 11 points for the night. Sara Graves (Retsof, NY/York) and Raven Jones (Rochester, NY/Rush Henrietta) each contributed 10 points which totaled 40 of the teams 42 points.
D'Youville built a fourteen point lead heading into intermission and continued with the same scoring pace outscoring the Hawks by twenty-eight by the final horn. Norton did all of her damage in the first twenty, scoring 12 of her 14 tallies; Grosch went score-less the second half after finding the rim with her eleven points early. Bossard ended with her eighth double-double (11 points/11 rebounds) for the season and freshman Jones earned her collegiate high points. The Hawks had 19 offensive rebounds but their twenty-three percent field goal shooting hurt any effort to close the point spread. Amanda Dudek (Tonawanda, NY/Tonawanda) and Shavonne Walton (Buffalo, NY/Lackawanna) put the effort in on the defensive end with three steals apiece and Liz James (Hanoverton, OH/United Local) swatted her first block of her career.
The Hawks have one more home game which is set for Saturday, February 12 when they take on Mount Aloysius College at 1pm. Prior to the start of the game, the Hawks will honor their lone senior, Amanda Dudek who will be graduating in May after participating in the program for three seasons. Hilbert closes out their season on the road at Bradford (2/16) and Altoona (2/19).
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations.

Berjaya Times Square, Lot 10, Fahrenheit 88, Starhill Gallery and
more. Besides that the Imbi monorail station is only 220m away,
making it easy to hop on a train to visit key local landmarks such
as the KL Tower. On the facilities side, the hotel is a haven for
guests looking for relaxation - there is an onsite outdoor swimming

On Dec. 27, 2012, DHS announced that Jane Cage, Chair of the Citizens Advisory Recovery Team (CART) in Joplin Mo., and the citizens of Joplin have been awarded the Rick Rescorla National Award for Resilience, recognizing their contributions in the aftermath of the devastating tornadoes that struck Joplin in May 2011.
The entire Joplin community played an important role in the recovery process, deciding together to build more resilient schools outside of the floodplain, develop stronger standards for home construction, and to develop shared facilities to use as storm shelters.
The Joplin tornado, which killed 161 people and injured approximately 1,000, ranks as one of the deadliest disasters in United States' history, and is the costliest tornado in U.S. history.
As Chair of CART in Joplin, Jane Cage demonstrated exceptional leadership in helping the Joplin community recover from the devastating May tornado. After the tornado, the Citizens Advisory Recovery Team was established to provide a forum between citizens and the City Council as the community recovers and rebuilds. Jane Cage created the "Listening to Joplin" plan, which served as the foundation of the community's recovery efforts. CART used a variety of opportunities to reach members across the community, including those who were personally overwhelmed by their own losses from the storm. In recognition of the role that the community played in this massive effort, Secretary Napolitano chose to present the award to both Jane Cage and the citizens of Joplin.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
By ceb11 from USA on 2010-01-23 06:49:44Things I liked:The stock looks great & the bull barrel adds to the looks of this air rifle. It is light and can be taken in the field without worry because of durable materials used on it. Power is spot on for any pest bird and most fur covered pest as long as you keep shots within range and hit the sweet spot.
Things I would have changed:The Scope and the trigger. I upgraded both on mine and it took this rifle from OK to Great. I will also add the nitro piston to this from PA when I get a chance.
What others should know:This is a good rifle but a few upgrades can make all the difference. First GRT III trigger, a very easy and cheap install. Second upgrade the scope to something that can handle the recoil. Third use lock tight. Then skip the PBA ammo and try some of the quality pellets Mine works very well with predator and redfire pellets on pests. Match pellets are great (RWS) inside 20 yds. Heavy round nose pellets are better for longer ranges ( JSB 10.2 grain & Gamo Rocket 9.6 grain). This rifle will take a few hundred rounds to settle in and get best accuracy. I clean the barrel every few hundred shots or so and the accuracy has been excellent. I can keep shots inside a quarter at 20 yards and can hit a 16 oz plastic bottle at 50 yards every time as lonng as wind is calm. I do recommend this rifle. The small upgrades make this an awesome choice.

By shafferfarm from USA on 2007-09-04 15:47:42Things I liked:Looks great. Very good trigger.
Things I would have changed:make it accurate. Build a good pellet rifle. The first one failed after about 250 Raptor pellets through it. After paying $30+ to ship it back to Gamo and another $10 for them to ship it back to me the replacement rifle was found to have the barrel lose. I would give anything to get my money back on this piece of crap. I am done buying Gamo air rifles.
What others should know:Do not buy this rifle! For the money it cost to purchase this rifle you can pick something else much better I guarantee is better.

RFF Discussion Paper 14-17 | July 2014

Abstract: Methane is the second most prevalent greenhouse gas and has a global warming potential at least 28 times as high as carbon dioxide. Municipal solid waste landfills are reported to be the third-largest source of anthropogenic methane emissions in the United States, responsible for 18 percent of emissions in 2011. Capturing landfill gas for use as an energy source for electricity or heat produces alternative energy as well as environmental benefits. A host of federal and state policies encourage the development of landfill-gas-to-energy projects. Our research provides the first systematic economic assessment of the role these policies play in adoption decisions. Results suggest that renewable portfolio standards and investment tax credits have contributed to the development of these projects, accounting for 13 of 277 projects during our data period from 1991 to 2010. These policy-induced projects have led to 12.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide–equivalent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and a net benefit of $52.59 million.

The Effect of Voluntary Brownfields Programs on Nearby Property Values: Evidence from Illinois
Joshua Linn
RFF Discussion Paper 12-35 | August 2012
Related journal article
Abstract: Brownfields are properties for which redevelopment is hampered by known or suspected contamination and by concerns about associated liability. Because failing to redevelop brownfields may negatively affect welfare and the environment, a number of states have created voluntary programs to reduce liability risks and encourage redevelopment of brownfields. For clean or remediated properties, the state certifies that owners of such sites are not subject to federal or state liability under certain conditions. Certification could increase nearby property values because of decreased contamination risk and amenities associated with redeveloping the brownfield. This paper focuses on the Site Remediation Program in Illinois, and estimates the effect of brownfields certification on nearby property values. Employing several strategies to account for unobserved and time-varying variables that may be correlated with certification, I find that certification of a brownfield 0.25 miles away raises property values by about one percent. In aggregate, the program has increased nearby property values by about two percent.

Households' Willingness to Pay for Improved Urban Waste Management in Mekelle City, Ethiopia
Dagnew Hagos, Alemu Mekonnen, Zenebe Gebreegziabher
RFF Discussion Paper EfD 12-06 | April 2012
Abstract: Cities in developing countries experiencing rapid urbanization and population growth too often lack the financial resources and institutional capacity to provide needed municipal infrastructure for adequate solid waste management, despite citizens' demand for it. This paper uses a cross-sectional survey of 226 randomly selected households in Mekelle City, Ethiopia, to assess the current municipal sanitation fees and the willingness to pay (WTP) of residents for improved urban waste management, and suggests mechanisms for cost recovery. We used Tobit and probit models in the empirical analysis to determine the factors that influence households' WTP for improved solid waste management. Results reveal that residents' WTP for improved solid waste management is significantly related to income and awareness of environmental quality, among other factors. Study results reveal that the current city fee for sanitation is far below the WTP of the residents. The mean WTP we found can be a guide for municipal officials in setting a more appropriate fee that can finance improvements in city SWM, where all households receive collection services, waste is disposed of properly, and recycling and composting features are added.

Deposit-Refund Systems in Practice and Theory
Margaret A. Walls
RFF Discussion Paper 11-47 | November 2011
Abstract: A deposit-refund system combines a tax on product consumption with a rebate when the product or its packaging is returned for recycling. Deposit-refunds are used for beverage containers, lead-acid batteries, motor oil, tires, various hazardous materials, electronics, and more. In addition, researchers have shown that the approach can be used to address many other environmental problems beyond waste disposal. By imposing an up-front fee on consumption and subsidizing "green" inputs and mitigation activities, a deposit-refund may be able to efficiently control pollution in much the same way as a Pigovian tax. Theoretical models have shown that alternative waste disposal policies, such as virgin materials taxes, advance disposal fees, recycled content standards, and recycling subsidies are inferior to a deposit-refund. These results have been corroborated in calibrated models of U.S. waste and recycling. And in theoretical models that consider joint environmental problems and product design considerations, the deposit-refund continues to have much to recommend it as a component of an overall socially optimalset of policies. More empirical research into deposit-refund systems is needed, particularly the upstream systems used for many products. In these systems, the processors or collectors of recyclables—rather than consumers—receive the refund. Upstream systems may have lower transaction costs and better environmental outcomes than traditional downstream systems.

Waste Not, Want Not: Economic and Legal Challenges of Regulation-Induced Changes in Waste Technology and Management
Molly K. Macauley
RFF Discussion Paper 09-11 | June 2009
Related journal article
Abstract: Beginning in the early 1990s, stricter government regulation to protect public health and the environment led to radical changes in waste technology and management in the United States. More stringent regulation induced wholly new technologies, including the lining of landfills, the control of their gas emissions, and changes in the economic scale and geographic location of operation. Economic integration of waste management transformed "the local dump" into a nationwide and modernized industry. These changes led to unprecedented intervention by local government in attempts to control price, quantity, and location-specific attributes of the $40 billion waste market. Regulatory-induced changes in markets have long been a topic of academic and policy interest, but unique in this case was the emergence of legal challenges—under the dormant commerce clause—concerning public governance and the private sector. This paper reviews the regulation-induced changes in the market, its subnational governmental interventions, and protection of interstate commerce when new technology restructures a local service into a national business.

Weird, the version of this that we have on our iPad does let you save your image, and there is a "Collection" that seems to be missing from your menu page. Bummer if they removed it. However, you can still save a screenshot to your camera roll in a pinch. :)
Glad to see this posted, it's one of my daughter's all time faves.

VERY short vid, VERY low quality to keep the download as small as possible.
NOTE: I used the DIVX encoder so you may have to download the playback codec at divx.com if you don't already have it. They are AVI files.
1st vid is about 250k and the 2nd vid is about 1.4MB
Edit - relocated my vids to my Skydrive account. I'll soon put up better quality vids and some more items:

This was "the" chrono test of my reloads using Hornady's starting load of 34 grains of H4895 with Nosler accutip 168gr bullets. Using Winchester and Remington brass, all velocities hit right around the 2000-2100 mark. This is exactly what the book says, and if the Nosler data is to be trusted, this lower velocity is more accurate than the right side of the chart. As far as I'm concerned, it is "dialed in"!
Please remember she's left eye dominant, and was fighting hard to get the sight picture.
Thanks to the shim, the scope is now dead-on at 50 yards, but I didn't have enough ammo loaded to sight in at 100.
My extra magazines work great! I've been able to test about 7 of them so far, but I've only had good luck with them so far. I am going to test all of them before I put them in my "ready" pile.
Now its time to go reload the rest of my ammo!

This patient support community is for discussions relating to teen health, including abuse, acne and skin, alcohol and drugs, ADD/ADHD, exercise, growth disorders, infectious diseases, learning disorders, nutrition, piercings and tattoos, teen pregnancy, relationships, safe sex, sports injuries, STDs, vaccines, and weight loss.
Think of your skin as a large piece of elastic. That elastic stretches and shrinks as other parts of your body do the same. This stretching and shrinking of the dermis (skin) occurs during teen growth spurts, weight gain, and even weight loss. It happens during pregnancy and can happen as a result of lifting weights. Ultimately, this stretching and shrinking happens to everyone, and almost everyone will get stretch marks as a result of hormonal changes and aging.
Too much of this elastic-like shifting causes a breakdown in collagen (the main component of skin) and Elastin (the elastic fibers in skin). Both Elastin and Collagen are needed to keep your skin taut. Tearing of the dermis occurs when these two important components are overwhelmed by all the stretching and shrinking; and as result, stretch marks form. You now know that these marks will eventually come so now it is time to educate yourself on what you can do to prevent them. If you already have stretch marks (Striae), you can take the same measures to help prevent further damage to your skin.
First, a healthy diet needs to be maintained. Do not overeat. Make sure that your daily intake includes protein-rich foods (such as eggs, tofu, and beans). Eat foods that are a good source of vitamins A and C (carrots, milk, oranges, and leafy greens). Both of these vitamins are needed for the repair of skin tissue and for the formation of Collagen. Also include plenty of Zinc (which can be found in nuts, lean meats, and fish) and keep your body hydrated by drinking plenty of water. If you don't like certain foods, or if you just don't have the time to create ideal meals every day, purchase supplements.
A second ideal stretch mark prevention technique is to exercise. Try to aim for thirty minutes; three to five days a week. If that isn't realistic for you because you have a busy schedule, aim for just ten minutes a day. Everyone can find a spare ten minutes. It can even be done while watching the news at night. You don't have to spend a lot of money at a gym or purchase expensive equipment to maintain a healthy body. But do take care to research your choice of exercise. Burning calories will help you lose weight, and you know what weight loss can cause! A good option is to choose an exercise/exercise method that will burn calories while toning your muscles at the same time. An example of this would be aerobics. Remember that exercising will boost your self esteem, give you a healthy heart, and prevent stretch marks. And if you already have stretch marks, exercise can reduce the ones you have while preventing more.
The third preventative measure is to go out and get yourself a good, proven anti-striae cream, also known as a stretch mark cream; and use it as directed. You may find it to be a good alternative if you just don't have the time for dieting and exercise. You may find it beneficial to use a cream in conjunction with diet and exercise. There are numerous anti-aging/anti-wrinkle creams out there that are proven to work. Do some research and you will find that there are also creams that are proven to prevent stretch marks. As the case with exercise, if you already have stretch marks, there are creams that can reduce what you already have and prevent future 'outbreaks'.
Again, prevention is the key (even if you already have stretch marks). All of the above are logical and cost effective methods of prevention. Help yourself now, before it is too late. And help yourself get rid of what you already have. Keep it from getting so bad that starts to affect your self esteem. Don't let it get to the point where you even have to think of more costly measures (such as cosmetic surgery). Help yourself and help loved ones. Educate them these simple and cheap preventative measures that can be taken.

The French striker has scored five goals in 10 appearances for QPR since his January move from Marseille, but it is unlikely to be enough keep the club in the top flight.
Defeat at Reading on Sunday afternoon would confirm QPR's relegation to the Championship and reports suggest such a scenario will prompt Remy's summer departure.
Arsenal and Liverpool have been linked with £8million moves for Remy and the 26-year-old does not believe there is anything to reproach him for whatever happens in the future.
"It was not the wrong decision to come here," Remy told the Sunday Telegraph. "I make a choice in my life and I never regret it. It's not the wrong choice.
"I'm sure that everyone on the pitch every week does give 100 per cent no matter what anyone else says. We don't have frauds, liars in the team, or anyone who wants the club to go down.
"And there will not be anything to reproach me for. I would not let that happen.
"If I stay or if I leave here I want people to say, 'When Loic Remy came to this club he gave his best. He was not sloppy, he tried his hardest, he did his best right to the end, the very end'.
"It is almost finished, of course. But we have four games left and we need to play with the same intensity, we must be professional and do that for the supporters."
Remy also reiterated that he did not join QPR for financial reasons and that the presence of Harry Redknapp, who previously wanted him at Tottenham Hotspur, was a key factor behind his decision.
He added: "I heard that people said I only came here for the money but, for me, it was a choice because I knew the coach for a long time, since he was at Tottenham.
"I chose this club because the coach wanted me, the chairman wanted me and he came to my house.
"There were two clubs interested - QPR and Newcastle - and when I saw the situation between the two, where they were in the table, it was a small difference."

Maricopa County's Enhanced Regulatory Outreach Program (EROP) departments seek to ensure the safety and well-being of our community. Because we understand that regulations and rule-making decisions, discussions, and meetings can be confusing, we have developed this web-site to allow citizens to easily monitor and engage in the adoption and amendment of all regulations.
Your input is especially important. By accessing the Comments page, you can provide feedback concerning regulations you are particularly interested in.
The Maricopa County Air Quality Department is a regulatory agency whose goal is to ensure federal clean air standards are achieved and maintained for the residents and visitors of Maricopa County. The Maricopa County Air Quality Department is governed by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and follows air quality standards set forth by the federal Clean Air Act.
The department has statutory authority (ARS §49-402.B) for air quality programs and receives direct delegation/authority from the Environmental Protection Agency for certain air quality programs. In addition, the department has responsibility through a formal agreement with ADEQ and MAG for emission inventories, air quality monitoring data and its Trip Reduction Program.
The Maricopa County Air Quality Department's Planning & Analysis Division is responsible for drafting and finalizing air pollution control rules and ordinances and for compiling emissions inventories. Rules and ordinances are created and revised to comply with the Clean Air Act and to implement control strategies for stationary sources in Maricopa County. Emissions inventories are a comprehensive listing, by source, of air pollutant emissions. Emissions inventories cover point sources (large industries), area sources (numerous small sources such as gas stations and consumer products usage), mobile sources (both on-road and off-road) and biogenic sources (gases released by plants and soil).
The division also works with the Maricopa Association of Governments, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the Arizona Department of Transportation to develop State Implementation Plans (SIP), policies/guidelines and reports required to complete SIP analyses. A SIP is a cumulative record of all air pollution control strategies, state statutes, state and local rules and local ordinances implemented by governmental agencies within Arizona.
Maricopa County Environmental Services provides essential, regional environmental services seeking to prevent and remove environmental health risks. The Department's Environmental Health Specialists and Field Technicians are in the community every day making sure that among other things, food in all the eating and drinking establishments in the County is protected from contamination, that water supplies throughout the County are safe to drink, and that vector borne health illnesses and risks are minimized. It is our belief that with continued support, future generations will reap the benefits of today's actions.
The Maricopa County Environmental Health Code is adopted under authority vested in the Maricopa County Board of Health and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors pursuant to the Arizona Revised Statues § 36-136, 36-183.02, 36-601, 36-184.B4, 36-187.C, 11-251 paragraphs 17 and 31, 49-106, and 49-107. The provisions of this Code are applicable to the unincorporated areas lying within the boundaries of Maricopa County, and the incorporated areas lying within the boundaries of Maricopa County, and the incorporated cities and towns whose governing bodies specifically request the services of the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department.
Established in 1959 by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors per state legislation, the Flood Control District of Maricopa County is responsible for protecting lives and property from flooding hazards. The District achieves this goal through four strategic programs: 1) identification of flooding hazards; 2) construction and maintenance of flood control dams, basins and channels; 3) regulation of development in floodplains; and 4) public outreach programs to educate citizens about flooding hazards and safety. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors serves as the District's Board of Directors. A secondary property tax on parcels within Maricopa County provides the majority of the District's funding.
Regulatory functions of the District include floodplain management, permitting for floodplain use and sand & gravel operations, and floodplain delineations and mapping. Arizona Revised Statutes §48-3601 through 48-3650 direct each county Flood Control District Board of Directors to adopt and enforce floodplain regulations consistent with criteria adopted by the Arizona Department of Water Resources. The Floodplain Regulations for Maricopa County have been in force since February 25, 1974 and are posted on the District's website. The Regulations define the usage rules, development restrictions and permitting requirements necessary to protect the environmental and flood control qualities of floodplains.
The Maricopa County Planning & Development Department is governed by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. The department has statutory authority per Title 11 of the Arizona Revised Statutes for land use planning, zoning, land subdivision and construction permitting programs.
The department is responsible for drafting and amending regulations related to land use planning, zoning, land subdivision and construction permitting, which include the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance, Maricopa County Subdivision Regulations, Maricopa County Abatement Ordinance, Maricopa County Addressing Regulations, Maricopa County Adult Business Ordinance, Maricopa County Hours of Construction Ordinance, and the Maricopa County Local Additions & Addenda (adopted construction safety codes). The department will also draft ordinances at the direction of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
The Maricopa County Office of Procurement Services provides innovative, cost-effective, and quality services to County Agencies through a strategic and systematic approach to procurement so they can get the right product at the right time at the right price. County procurement will be carried out with integrity, transparency and accountability in a manner that secures best value for public money.
Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) plans, designs, constructs, and maintains roadways primarily within the unincorporated areas of the county. MCDOT currently operates and maintains approximately 2,500 miles of roadway, more than 80 bridges, over 325 culverts, more than 160 signalized intersections, and approximately 35,000 traffic signs. MCDOT's funding is primarily derived from Highway User Revenue Fund (HURF) monies and some federal-aid highway funding.
MCDOT's mission is to provide transportation infrastructure (primarily roads) and related services to the people within Maricopa County so they can live, work, conduct business, and travel in a safe environment. MCDOT is led by the Transportation Director and is governed by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
The statutory authority for MCDOT's work is derived primarily from A.R.S. Title 11, Chapter 2, Article 4 (Board of Supervisors), Title 11, Chapter 3, Article 9 (County Engineer) and Title 28, Chapter 19, Article 1 (County Highways). The Department's work is largely governed by the transportation laws of the State of Arizona (A.R.S. Title 28, generally).
MCDOT is largely a full service transportation agency, but does have some limited regulatory roles. These relate to adherence to County road standards, review of all development submittals that have impacts to county roads, and ensuring safe and responsible work in County right-of-way. MCDOT also works very closely with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG), incorporated cities, towns, and Indian communities.

I gave six of these as Christmas gifts. Everybody loved the different uses of this product. Not to mention, the name was a conversation piece with some laughter from all ages. Excellent and recommended.
- Smells Good
- Too hard
Best Uses
I use it on the back of my neck and top of my shoulders. It smells great, and soothes somewhat, but the consistency is like wax, so it is hard to get enough of the product out to really rub it in.
The container is also pretty small for the price. This would probably be a great product if it were more easily dispensed and there was more of it.
- Great product
- none
Best Uses
- Great for aching muscles
I bought a jar of this for my hard-working sister and added it to the box of Christmas gifts I sent her. I loved the name of the product and thought she would get a chuckle, when she opened it. She called me last week and said that it was an amazing rub. She said she has never used anything on her aching muscles that has worked so well, and wanted to know where she could get more!
- Speedy Delivery Cute Jar
Best Uses
Bought 2 as gifts. Did not use personally.
I used this on a muscle cramp in my calf and felt no iprovement after a couple days use
- It STINKS
Best Uses
Tried it one night. Smelled so bad I had to get up and shower. I would give it no stars if I could. I will be returning it ASAP.
Smells good, but the size is deceiving....

Advanced Eye Recovery Pro Eye Cream with DermaBind
Although this isn't a slam-dunk remedy for dark circles, it's is a very well-formulated moisturizer.
Line Relief Concentrate
There are several unnatural ingredients in this water-based gel.
Add to Faves?
Aloette At-A-Glance
Strengths: Great cleanser, moisturizers that meet or exceed basic expectations; and specialty products; almost every category of makeup has some winning products to consider.
Weaknesses: Several products contain irritating essential oils, including peppermint. No products to effectively address the needs of those with blemish-prone skin; overpriced anti-aging products with mundane formulas; only one sunscreen and it contains an irritating citrus oil; lip gloss with wintergreen; lackluster powder.
Founded in 1978 and now based in Atlanta, Aloette is a direct sales line that offers its customers an opportunity to become part of the franchise, assuming they're willing to host parties and promote the products to friends, family, and coworkers. The products are also available on some home shopping channels, including The Shopping Channel in Canada, where owner Christina Cohen (herself once an Aloette salesperson) promotes the brand in person. You may hear her drive home the point that Aloette products are "scientifically formulated using the latest technology" and "are manufactured to meet the most stringent quality standards," shop talk that sounds distinctive but is in fact a hallmark of any cosmetics company that takes its products and commitment to its customers seriously. As you will see from the reviews below, Aloette is in no way as technologically advanced as they would like you to believe.
Not surprisingly, aloe does play a big role in Aloette's products. Before we get into discussing why aloe isn't the best ingredient to build an assembly of products around, it is worth noting that in recent years Aloette has realized on their own that it takes more than this well-known plant to create good skin-care products, and the good news is that the line has launched other formulations with more variety.
In its pure form, aloe is a consideration for soothing skin, likely due to its refreshing and non-occlusive texture, and for treating minor inflammation. However, when mixed into a cosmetic it is doubtful those qualities remain, though it still plays a role in binding moisture to skin (Source: Skin Research and Technology, November 2006, pages 241–246). Those facts didn't keep Aloette from including aloe in virtually every product they sell; yet their newest products include several other (much more modern) ingredients known to improve skin functioning and enhance its appearance.
For all Aloette's attempts to modernize their skin-care offerings, there's an overriding problem in their efforts to appear more "pure and natural." This came about from the addition of several irritating ingredients, so that more often than not an otherwise well-formulated product (claims notwithstanding) is sullied by one or more potent irritants. Using such products won't make good on Aloette's promise of smooth, radiant skin. Overall, there aren't many compelling reasons to begin your skin-care search here, but for those so inclined Aloette does have some worthwhile products, many sporting reasonable prices.

Aloette Makeup: Aloette's makeup is known as Color Blends. This well-rounded collection presents some viable options for foundation, eyeshadow, loose powder, blush, pencils, mascara, lipstick, and brushes. Yet viable doesn't mean exciting or worth your while. In contrast to our review of Aloette's makeup products for the previous edition of this book, we found that their products haven't improved or kept up with similar top picks among drugstore and department-store lines that are often available for less money. What happened? It's clear that not enough of the products were updated, and those that were didn't keep pace with the best of the best. One more note: If you attend an in-home Aloette show, you will hear how their makeup is "vitamin-infused, mineral enhanced and has the benefits of aloe vera in it." Although many of the makeup items below do contain vitamins (typically vitamin E), they are present in very small amounts that pale in comparison to the numerous standard cosmetic ingredients that precede them, meaning they won't benefit skin, they just support the content claim. As for the minerals, they must be referring to standard mineral pigments such as titanium dioxide and mica, because they're the only ones present. Aloe does make an appearance in most of Aloette's makeup, but as we mentioned in the skin-care product introduction, it functions primarily as a soothing and water-binding agent, not a miracle.

Who's the Hottest British Actor on American TV? (POLL)
If there's one thing the small screen could always use more of, it's smokin'-hot actors with irresistible accents.
From Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass) to The Vampire Diaries' Joseph Morgan (Klaus), the following band of Brits are some of the sexiest blokes to have crossed the pond for an American series.
But here's where it gets tough: Of these leading lads, who's the absolute hottest?
I'm not really into these guys.

There are no Upcoming Shows listed for this comedian.
Jerrod Carmichael
Jerrod Carmichael is an LA based standup and performer originally from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He has been crafting his standup for over three years and this year was featured in Variety as being one of the top ten comics to watch, as well as being one of the New Faces at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival.
Jerrod is a regular around some of LA's favorite standup shows, including Meltdown, The Improv, Laugh Factory and many alternative rooms.
Comedian Jerrod Carmichael is getting his very first standup special, and it's going to be a big one: an hour-long special for HBO. The untitled special will be taped May 7th, 2014 at The Comedy Store, and it will air later this year. Carmichael's HBO hour is being produced by Funny Or Die and directed by Spike Lee. This will be only the second standup special Spike Lee has directed, following the 2000 standup concert film The Original Kings of Comedy.
In an interview with us back in 2012, Carmichael discussed plans to do a special:
"I have an idea [for a special]. I think it's a good idea. It's very specific to me … If you do a special, you want to do it not just to do a special. You want to do it because you have something to say, and you think it can be impactful. So, what I want to say is coming out more, and I'm excited about that."
It's very rare for HBO to give an hour special to a comedian as new as Carmichael, who, although he's been doing standup since 2008, has never done a set on TV. Most comedians start with late night spots or a half-hour Comedy Central special, so Carmichael getting an hour on HBO, which is a prestigious and sought-after gig in the industry, as his first televised performance says a lot about how much faith HBO has in him.Carmichael, who ranked first in a 2013 poll we conducted amongst LA bookers and hosts to determine their favorite up and coming standups, has appeared on Fox's The Goodwin Games, the upcoming movie Neighbors, and created and starred in a sitcom pilot that's currently in development at NBC.

Altvater: Toledo Retiree Golf League now accepting new membersWritten by Fred Altvater | | email@example.com
The Toledo Retiree Golf League has been a means for senior golfers to meet and compete since 1971.
Golf is great exercise and walking nine or 18 holes is one of the secrets to a long and healthy life. Hitting that perfect drive, sinking a long putt and taking a couple of bucks from your buddies are also good for one's mental health.
This week at the Humana Challenge in partnership with the Clinton Foundation, former president Bill Clinton is stressing the importance of walking and being active for at least one hour every day.
Gary Player is 78 years old and has been the poster boy for an active healthy lifestyle with golf as the center piece of his physical activity.
Golf allows you to walk in the great outdoors on verdant fairways and at the same time enjoy the companionship of your golf buddies. What could be better?
The Toledo Retiree Golf League offers every senior golfer all of these advantages and in addition the opportunity to compete in an athletic endeavor.
The league pits two-man teams in weekly nine-hole matches from May to September. Various local golf courses are included in the rotation throughout the summer. Bedford Hills, Detwiler Park, Giant Oak, Heatherdowns, Maple Grove, Ottawa Park, South Toledo and Whiteford Valley will all host matches in 2014.
Don't say you are too old. The average age of the Toledo Retiree Golf League is in the 70s. Any golfer age 55 or older is encouraged to sign up. Space is limited to the first 160 golfers. You can bring your own partner for your two-man team or be assigned a partner.
A scramble, followed by the annual banquet, where winning teams from the four divisions are awarded their prizes, is held at the end of the season.
To sign up or to get more information on the Toledo Retiree Golf League contact:
Don Godfrey: email@example.com or (419) 244-6010

Friday, June 13, 2014
Two concerned citizens took the podium to talk to DD2 school board members about two separate community matters at the recent board meeting.
Lewis Smith, founder of the Community Resource Center, addressed the board about the convenience store located across from Alston Middle School.
Smith has been part of a group effort petitioning to make sure the convenience store, known as Mia Quickstop, does not obtain a beer and wine license, arguing that middle school students are impressionable and having a convenience store that sells beer and wine right across the street from a middle school creates a bad image.
We have rallied around this, Smith said. We are doing this proactively. We need the school board to come up with a statement as to why this shouldnt happen.
I just feel the community needs to get together to make a statement.
Linda Ensor then took the podium to address board members about Common Core in South Carolina.
Ensor, who is with Lowcountry Conservatives in Action, has been opposed to Common Core Standards for some time. During her time at the podium Ensor expressed excitement over Gov. Nikki Haley recently signing a bill that requires South Carolina to drop the Common Core Standards and replace them with new content standards for the 2015-2016 school year.
It gives you the right to choose what you want out of Common Core, Ensor said.
Ensor went on to ask board members not to bring Common Core back in any form.
After delivering her statement, Ensor told The Journal Scene that she feels the board members were receptive to what she had to say, and hopes they will not bring Common Core back.
I, and my group, have worked hard for a year and a half to stop Common Core, she said.
We will be vigilant to make sure they wont bring it back in a different form.

Toledo Museum of Art expands visual literacy campaign to toddlersWritten by Kevin Moore | | email@example.com
The Toledo Museum of Art (TMA) and the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library have partnered together for ToddlerTime Tours, a multi-sensory experience designed to develop visual and textual literacy in children ages 18 to 36 months. ToddlerTime, which will have its first tour in February, is the latest in the museum's efforts to encourage visual literacy.
What is visual literacy? The museum defines visual literacy as "the ability to derive meaning from images of everything that we see." It is the ability for someone to look at something — a piece of art, a sculpture, a billboard, or even the pictures that come across Facebook and Twitter– and understand what it is he or she is looking at. Visual literacy sharpens the skills people use in everything from birdwatching to selecting produce at the grocery store.
"Visual literacy is a lost art form," said TMA Director of Communications Kelly Garrow. "We don't count on visual signals the way we used to. For example, paintings said a lot to the people living in the time they were created. By using colors and symbols an artist could convey concepts like love, lust, greed or innocence. But we lost these skills as textual literacy became more common and we focused on text-based learning."
The museum's director, Brian Kennedy, has been a champion of visual literacy since joining TMA in 2010. He has stated that visual literacy is the key sensory literacy and that it must be taught. In the museum's view, we live in a world that has, rather quickly, become "supersaturated" with images due to digital media and the Internet. While traditional education tends to focus on textual and computer literacy, the future demands an educational shift towards sensory literacy as a form of critical thinking.
"The Lucas County Children's Library had a very interesting workshop where they gave children picture books written in a foreign language, and they were asked to interpret the stories just from the pictures," said Kathy Danko-McGhee, TMA's Emma Leah Bippus director of education and head of visual literacy. "The children were able to read the stories through the pictures. It is important that children learn to read well, but visual literacy enhances textual literacy. The same skills are used."
ToddlerTime Tours is a free, monthly program in two parts that begins either at the Maumee Branch or Main Library and then resumes at the museum the following week. At the library, toddlers and their parents will enjoy a librarian-led story hour themed around a work in the museum's collection. A week later at the museum, they will participate in a hand-on, docent-led tour that focuses on that work. Children will be given a bag of manipulatives, objects such as feathers, fabrics, color swatches and bells that match the work of art
"The docent will ask questions like 'Where is this color in the painting?' or 'What does this material feel like?' The docent will also have a word list designed to broaden the children's vocabulary and help their reading comprehension. Before they leave, parents will be given a take-home activity so that their educational experience continues at home as a family," said Danko-McGhee. "We want to nurture a relationship between parent, child and museum. We want them to know they're welcome here, and the museum isn't just a place where you can't touch things. It's a fun place where you can see, touch and learn."
A children's librarian will be on-hand at the museum to bookend the two-part series with a storybook reading.
The museum has rolled out its visual literacy program gradually over the last few years, and the TMA staff is excited to be moving from the testing phase to implementation of many of its programs which target visual literacy in children as well as adults. One of the museum's first developments was the production of The Art of Seeing Art, a free brochure for adults that instructs patrons in such concepts as shape, space and texture and prompts them to ask questions like "Is this work realistic or abstract?" TMA has also installed interactive stations throughout the museum, such as a magnetic sculpture-building station in the sculpture gallery, which reinforces the visual element of viewing art with the learning experience of tactile contact. The program even extends to the digital realm through its website www.vislit.org, which features videos, reading material and resources for teachers K-12.
To encourage visual literacy from the earliest ages, TMA began hosting its free 30-minute Baby Tours on a monthly basis in 2012. In this program, designed by Danko-McGhee, parents may bring their infants up to 18 months for a docent-guided tour of some of the museum's most visually stimulating art where babies often respond by staring, smiling or reaching for the art. Parents attending the Baby Tours are sent home with The Art of Seeing Art for Babies, a board book that presents some of the concepts found in the adult brochure at their most basic level.
For families with young children, TMA offers tote bags known as Gallery Gear which can be checked out for a hour and are filled with visual literacy resources and hands-on objects related to notable pieces of art in the collection. In 2013, the museum released The Art of Seeing Art: A, B & See, a book that pairs letters of the alphabet with objects found in TMA artwork. The book is available in the museum store and reference library.
Finally, as the center for visual literacy in Northwest Ohio, TMA is scheduled to host the 2014 International Visual Literacy Association Conference on Nov. 5-8. Usually held at an institution of higher learning, this is the first year the conference will be held at a museum. The event is open to professors, K-12 teachers, students and working artists.
"Our goal for the entire visual literacy campaign at the Toledo Museum of Art is to reach as diverse an audience as we can and train them to be more observant and to view art more knowledgeably," said Danko-McGhee.
The first ToddlerTime Tour will feature paintings and stories with the theme of puppies. The library portion will be held Feb. 3 at the Maumee Branch and Feb. 6 at the Main Library, both at 10:30 a.m. The museum portion will begin at 6 p.m. on Feb. 13. Pre-registration is required, and parents may choose to attend one or both programs. Space is limited, but efforts will be made to accommodate everyone interested in participating.
For more information, call TMA at 419-255-8000, the Lucas County Library at 419-259-5200 or visit www.toledomuseum.org/learn/toddler-time-tours or catalog.toledolibrary.org/programs (enter keyword "toddlertime").

Comments about Tradesman 18V Cordless Hammer Drill Kit:
I have had this drill for over 3 years and I highly recommend it. This drill is lower priced than a Milwaukee or a Ridgid; it is also larger and much heavier than a Milwaukee or Ridgid, which can make overhead projects a bit difficult when you have to hold it up for extended periods. However, that does makes up for my lack of weight-room time, so it works out ok (no pun intended).
Some guys don't like the weight, but I myself find that the weight steadies the tool, much like a heavier circular saw will do. The heaviness of this drill also makes it sort of a B-17 Bomber: this thing will take an absolute beating and will never fail to get the job done. I've dropped this thing from heights of 10 feet frequently (not on purpose) and nothing more than a scuff marks to show for it; no dents, no dings, no scratches, and no performance variations. The weight and subsequent size of this drill DO make it somewhat difficult to maneuver in a tight or awkward place, so if over 50% of your work is done in these situations you may be better off getting a smaller Milwaukee or Ridgid, but I bought a right angle extension and a flex bit and that solved 99% of my space issues.
The speed and torque if this drill is also among the best. The torque at high settings is extremely efficient, and when it is put in second gear from the gearbox located on the top, it is blazing fast. I was at a friend's place helping him with a job and he had a spare Dewalt Lithium-Ion hammer-drill that was practically new. I couldn't stand it; not only did it feel like a kids toy (which it may as well be), it was under-torqued and under-powered compared to my Porter Cable. I drove the 15 minutes back to my house, got my Porter Cable, and finished the job in half the time. The speed of this drill in 2nd gear easily rivals that of the Ridgid Lith-Ion hammer drill (with LED worklight) which is 70 bucks more than the Porter Cable.
As far as Lith-Ion vs. NiCad, when this drill was new I would put a fresh battery on and it lasted me at least half the day, and that was when I was building my wife a new closet and the drill was under constant use and strain. The Lithium Ion does last longer, but since this drill came with 2 batteries it didn't matter much to me; just charge one while you use the other. They need replacing after a few years, but pretty much all NiCads do.
The hammer function is extremely efficient the few times I used it, but for most of my heavy concrete drilling I use a Makita rotary hammer so I don't use it as much as I used to for that purpose.
All in all this drill is every bit as reliable and high quality as a 2-300 dollar Milwaukee or Ridgid and I believe I paid somewhere around 130 bucks for it.

I've been a Generial Contractor for 36 years. I have used many Good tools from other manufactures, but Porter Cable is top self. My Porter Cable Tradesman 18V Cordless Hammer drill Kit is GREAT.
The good news is you can use Nicad or Lithium Batteries. You will not be Disapointed.

Comments about Tradesman 18V Cordless Hammer Drill Kit:
This is my first hammer drill. Am impressed with the amount of power. Ordered to drill some holes in a concrete slab for bolting a sill plate of a bathroom remodel. Managed the job with this drill and this was some hard concrete. Just wish the batteries lasted a bit longer for purposes of drilling. One 4" hole would take about a full battery charge. Maybe 10 minutes total drilling time. Granted this is on the hammer setting and full speed. Just means some waiting and charging. Good there are two batteries. Good for the price.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. — Authorities say a man was killed in a single-vehicle accident in the Greasy Creek community of Pike County on Saturday.
According to the Kentucky State Police, Lonnie Keen, 69, of Shelbiana, was traveling East on Kentucky Route 3226 when his vehicle ran off the road and struck a tree.
Keen was pronounced dead at the scene by Deputy Coroner Zeb Hampton.
There is no word on what might have caused the accident.
The accident remains under investigation by KSP Trooper Jamie Rose.
